Chapter 2185: Pardoned
“Doesn’t that mean we can’t leave?” Kai Ya’s face changed slightly as well.
Jian Chen stood within the small spaceship as he looked at the battle between the three in the distance uneasily. With a flip of his hand, he took out the Cosmic Movement Talisman.
Jian Chen was about to use the Cosmic Movement Talisman, but he was hesitating.
This was his last Cosmic Movement Talisman. He really was reluctant to use it unless he faced death.
He understood that the divine generals of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng would not be hostile towards him. After all, his brother Ming Dong was the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. With that, the divine generals would never create any trouble for him.
What he truly worried about was whether the two divine generals were able to sense the Anatta Tower.
If they could sense the Anatta Tower, the Anatta Tower would definitely leave with them.
At this moment, Kai Ya grabbed Jian Chen’s hand and stopped him from activating the Cosmic Movement Talisman. She said, “We’re not facing death right now, so let’s not use the talisman yet. Perhaps this won’t develop horribly.”
“Let’s hope so,” Jian Chen’s hand around the Cosmic Movement Talisman loosened. He stared at the intense battle in outer space sternly.
The old woman fought the two divine generals at the same time, engaging in an extremely intense battle. Like streams of light, laws clashed time and time again. The collapsed space caused countless stars to dim.
The old woman appeared to be defeated soon after they had begun fighting. Very soon, she vomited blood from the battle against the two divine generals, having been knocked away.
She just happened to fly in the direction of Jian Chen’s small spaceship.
Jian Chen hesitated slightly before flying out of the spaceship and catching the old woman when he saw this.
The old woman’s face was extremely pale, and she was covered in blood. She coughed a few times violently and said with a hoarse, frail voice, “You can’t interfere with this matter, so don’t get drawn into it.” That was what she said on the surface, but Jian Chen heard another voice, “Do not take out the Anatta Tower. As long as you hide the Anatta Tower, it’s impossible for the two divine generals to discover it.”
The old woman’s message made Jian Chen settle down. He finally became relieved.
At the same time, the sword spirits hid deeply as well.
The current Jian Chen was no longer the puny cultivator from the past. As his strength rapidly increased, he became better at hiding himself. Coupled with the cooperation of the sword spirits, he was confident that even Chaotic Primes would not be able to discover the sword spirits when he faced them.
Suddenly, Jian Chen became blinded by golden light. He turned his head to look over and saw that the two divine generals had appeared nearby like they had teleported in their special, golden armor.
Their armor shone with the blinding light that was as dazzling as the sun. Basking under the golden hue, the two divine generals became hazy and blurry, making them seem just like gods, where they were holy and inviolable.
Immediately, Jian Chen felt his body sink. His clothes became pressed against his body tightly as if they were under some sort of pressure. The terrifying presence from the two divine generals made Jian Chen feel like he was carrying a mountain. He also felt like he was suffocating.
“Chaotic Primes!” Jian Chen’s heart shivered as he became extremely stern.
Kai Ya also flew out of the spaceship and arrived beside Jian Chen. She also stared at the two divine generals sternly and cautiously.
However, the two divine generals did not even glance at Jian Chen and Kai Ya. In their eyes, Godkings were no different from ants. Jian Chen and Kai Ya failed to interest them at all.
The two of them looked at the old woman, and one of them growled, “Xu Ran, you’re done for this time.”
“Xu Ran, you have already been on the run for millions of years. You must be tired. The two of us have chased you for millions of years as well, so we’re tired as well. Let’s end this permanently this time so that we can return and report the completion of this mission,” one of the divine generals sighed gently. The feelings in his voice were rather mixed.
Xu Ran’s master was a disciple of the Anatta Grand Exalt, while they were loyal guards raised diligently by the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. They all possessed many secret techniques, including several ones for escape. As a result, this pursuit and escape lasted for millions of years. Only today could it finally come to an end.
“I have indeed become tired after running for so many years. Dying in your hands today is like liberation. Do it,” the old woman said calmly. She had already accepted death. She was truly ready to face death.
“But the two of them have nothing to do with me. They’ve only arrived here accidentally, so I hope you don’t make things difficult for them,” the old woman glanced at Jian Chen and Kai Ya in some shame.
Jian Chen could see the shame in the old woman’s eyes. He could tell that this sense of shame came from the Origin of Ways.
“Only you are a part of our mission,” said one of the divine generals. They did not pay any attention to Jian Chen and Kai Ya at all.
The old woman smiled sadly, “Everything is all caused by the same person. Although my master allowed me to stand where I do today, I will also be dying because of him. However, before I die, I still must tell you that not only did I have no idea about my master’s past mistake, but I also had nothing to do with it either.”
At the same time, on a continent extremely distant from the old woman’s location, a hazy figure shrouded in light sat on a throne within a majestic golden hall. Laws revolved around this person and shone brightly such that they seemed to have fused with the hazy figure completely, making them inseparable.
This was truly fusing with the laws of the world and becoming a part of them. This person represented the supreme level of cultivation in the universe.
At this moment, the hazy figure opened her eyes.
What kind of eyes were they? They were icy, emotionless, colorless, and cold. Its gaze was enchanting as if it could peer into the past and the future with a single glance and see the mysteries of the universe.
“Hall spirit!” At this moment, the person spoke. Her voice was cold and seemed to possess all the voices in the world, providing no detail about any features of the person whatsoever.
“Master!” A ruddy, benevolent old man silently appeared. He stood below in a bow, greeting the figure on the throne politely.
“From this moment onwards, stop hunting down Xu Ran,” the figure said coldly.
“Yes, master!”
The figure on the throne seemed to possess infinite authority. Every single action and word represented the will of the world. Like he had received an imperial edict, the ruddy old man immediately carried out the order without asking for the reason at all.
In the next moment, a wondrous mental pulse radiated out from the majestic hall. It passed through space and time, arriving in the minds of the two divine generals instantly.
“Xu Ran, we already know that you were drawn into this matter by the seventh majesty, as the first majesty never took a stance. We don’t want to kill you either, but the hall spirit has given orders.”
“Unless the majesties stand forward to protect you, we can’t disobey…” A divine general said, but his voice came to a sudden halt. Immediately, he glanced at the other divine general in surprise.
“Hall spirit? Hahahaha, it’s actually the hall spirit. The person that wanted me dead was actually the artifact spirit of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng…” The old woman laughed sadly. She originally believed that one of the majesties had passed down orders to kill her, but she had never thought it would actually be the artifact spirit of the Heavenly Palace of Bisehng.
The two divine generals looked at Xu Ran with complicated gazes. After a moment of silence, one of them said, “Xu Ran, congratulation. From today onwards, you are truly free.” With that, the two divine generals slowly withdrew their presences and no longer bore any killing intent.
“Congratulations? Hahaha, do the two of you want to scoff at me before you kill me? Fair enough. I’ve made you go on a wild goose chase for several millions of years. It has taken up quite a lot of your time that could have been spent on cultivation. I even injured the two of you during this time, so I can understand that you have resentment towards me. If that’s the case, scoff all you want, and then give me a quick death. Liberate me,” the old woman smiled sadly.
The two divine generals knew that the old woman had misunderstood. They sighed helplessly and explained, “The hall spirit has sent orders to stop hunting you down from today onwards.”
