Chapter 2239
The battle that Jia Tu and Huang Tu were unable to stop despite their desperate efforts was stopped by this familiar cry.
After sending the Saint King flying with a kick, the thunder wings on Zi Chen's back flapped gently. He stood in the air and turned to look in the direction of the voice.
A tall woman stood there. She wore a bright red dress. Her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief.
Zi Chen was no stranger to this woman. Back then, the two of them had almost done something wonderful. "Yi Qian, it's you."
"It's really you. Why are you here?"
The surprise on Yi Qian's face turned into deep surprise when she heard Zi Chen's voice. She quickly flew over.
The battle that had originally been a battle to the death stopped because of the two's reunion.
Xing Chen no longer attacked. Jia Tu and Huang Tu glared at him fiercely, then flew over to the Saint King who was so heavily injured that he could barely stand up. They deliberately ignored their younger brother.
The other three Saints endured their injuries and went to take care of Jia Tu and Zhen Tu.
The battle had only stopped for a short while and was not truly over, so no one let down their guard. They were all on guard against each other.
As for the Heaven Realm cultivators who had followed the Saints to this planet, they were all very depressed. This time, all the Saints in their families had died in battle. Not a single one had survived.
Yi Qian flew over to Zi Chen, her eyes full of surprise. Zi Chen was also surprised that she would appear here. He was very surprised to find that Yi Qian had already entered the Saint Realm.
As for how she had entered the Saint Realm, Zi Chen did not pay much attention to this. It was very good that friends could meet.
Of course, he was not stupid. He could see that Yi Qian's arrival here seemed to be related to these people, so he did not continue to kill her.
Yi Qian walked in front of Zi Chen. Zi Chen unceremoniously stretched out his arms. Yi Qian did not hesitate and hugged Zi Chen.
This hug only represented the joy of a reunion between friends. It had nothing to do with love between a man and a woman.
"How dare you be rude to the Goddess."
Before the two of them could say anything, a dissatisfied shout came from the distance. This voice came from Jia Tu and Huang Tu.
The Saint King by his side was on the verge of death, and his younger brother was also on the verge of death. However, the latter did not care about this, and actually cared about the hug between Zi Chen and Yi Qian. This was a strange person.
However, this angry roar also conveyed many meanings. The Goddess seemed to be related to the Divine Tribe. This was what the Great Sage Yinzhong had guessed back then. As for the second point, whether or not Yi Qian had entered the Saint Plane through that unique talent or not, it did not have much to do with this guy. This was because the way he looked at Yi Qian was clearly more respectful than adoration.
"Why are you here?"
The two of them ignored Jia Tu and Huang Tu and asked the same question at the same time. Then, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
"You go first."
They spoke in unison again.
The atmosphere became very strange. The two sides that were fighting to the death stopped just like that.
Furthermore, listening to the ambiguous conversation between the two above, the atmosphere between the two seemed to be out of place in this battlefield that was filled with Saint corpses.
"You know them."
After a short silence, looking at Yi Qian who had decided not to ask any more questions, Zi Chen chose to ask another question.
Yi Qian nodded and said, "They are from the Jia Tu clan. We came together."
Looking at the battlefield, and hearing what Jia Tu and Huang Tu said along the way, Yi Qian guessed the general situation of the matter. She hesitated and said, "This may be a … misunderstanding."
Of course, this was not a misunderstanding. This was a scene of life and death. Previously, only one of the two sides could survive.
If Yi Qian did not come, today, one of the two sides would have to die, and all of them would die.
Yi Qian also saw this point, which was why she hesitated to say that it was a misunderstanding. Because she was not sure how Zi Chen would deal with this matter, and was not sure whether Zi Chen would give her face.
After all, this was not a trivial matter.
Looking at the change in Yi Qian's expression and the fluctuations in the eyes of Jia Tu and Zhen Tu, Zi Chen also guessed that Yi Qian's identity was not low, so he chuckled and said, "Maybe it really is a misunderstanding."
Yi Qian exhaled in relief, looking at Zi Chen gratefully.
A scene of life and death was completely resolved because of a misunderstanding.
It seemed like a child's play, but it also seemed irresponsible. Moreover, it was obvious that Zi Chen was the one who was at a disadvantage.
But this was Zi Chen, and Yi Qian was his friend. If she said it was a misunderstanding, then it was a misunderstanding.
"Zi Chen is a friend I met on the life star," Yi Qian turned around, looking at Jia Tu and Huang Tu.
The latter's face was very complicated. He recalled the promise he had made to the Goddess on the way here. He did not expect to see such a scene when he came here. Even the Holy King was almost killed.
Jia Tu clasped his fists at Zi Chen, saying with a bitter face, "I am Jia Tu Huang Tu. It seems that this is a misunderstanding."
Zi Chen nodded.
Jia Tu Huang Tu turned around to look at his brother and the Holy King, the bitterness on his face thickening. If they had known things would turn out like this, they would not have come.
This … was a misunderstanding to begin with.
The ground was full of corpses, and the surroundings were full of energy fluctuations. The space cut by the Holy Weapon could no longer be mended. The whole world was full of holes, and with so many people watching, this was not a good place to chat. So, Zi Chen invited Yi Qian into the city to talk.
When he turned around, Zi Chen saw the Lightning Ancestor. His relaxed expression had a trace of guilt.
The Lightning Ancestor had consumed a lot of soul power, but he said that it was a misunderstanding and let the enemy go. Not only did he lose a Holy Weapon, but the Lightning Ancestor might also leave.
The Lightning Ancestor smiled, saying, "It's okay. He should have disappeared long ago."
Zi Chen was a little sad.
"Everyone, follow me into the city." The Lightning Ancestor waved his hand, looking very carefree.
After today's battle, the great formation above Thunder City had completely disappeared, and there was nothing that could protect Thunder City anymore. But with the powerful strength Zi Chen and the others had shown, no one would dare to have any ideas about Thunder City.
Zi Chen motioned for the others to enter the city. As for the Heavenly Realm cultivators who were about to be slaughtered, Zi Chen let them go in the end. The Saints of their families had all died in battle, and they would not be a threat to Zi Chen. Moreover, they had lost their will to fight.
The Heavenly Realm cultivators left, but the people from the Jia Tu Clan did not. They followed Yi Qian into the city.
As they entered the city, Yi Qian told them the purpose of their visit. It was really for the things on the Heavenly God.
But there were some important words that Yi Qian did not say.
The Holy King, Jia Tu, and Zhen Tu were healing under the care of the other three Saints. Jia Tu, Huang Tu, Yi Qian, Xing Chen, and the Lightning Ancestor all entered the hall.
Next, Jia Tu and Huang Tu revealed the true purpose of this visit. Hearing the other party's words, Zi Chen's face revealed a stunned expression.
"You're doing this to stop the Doff family?" Zi Chen was very surprised.
Jia Tu and Huang Tu nodded. "That's right. Although Jia Tu and the Doff family are both peak families, they are fundamentally different. In your words, we belong to the neutral faction, while the Doff family belongs to the radical faction. Because their losses back then were too great, they haven't come out yet. But soon, their first goal will be to obtain the Heavenly God's things."
Jia Tu and Huang Tu paused for a moment. "In order to not let the Doff family grow stronger, we spread the news ahead of time."
At this moment, Zi Chen finally understood that the outsider races weren't as united as he had imagined. Sometimes, fierce battles would break out between the major forces.
Hearing Jia Tu and Huang Tu's words, Zi Chen finally understood why Jia Tu and Zhen Tu had been standing to the side and watching the battle. They had been indifferent to the deaths of those Saints.
It turned out that this star field was under the jurisdiction of the Doff family and the Huo Te family. It was like the territory of the Five Elements Aristocratic Families in the Tianwu Continent.
Although the Everlasting Sect was also an overlord force, the territory they governed was only a sacred land.
This time, they had crossed the border. It was like the Everlasting Sect's people had come to the Five Elements Aristocratic Families' territory, relying on their overlord force to order the subordinate forces of the Five Elements Aristocratic Families. No matter how many of their people died, it wasn't a loss to the Everlasting Sect.
Moreover, to some extent, they even hoped that more of these people would die.
This explained why Jia Tu and Zhen Tu didn't move, and why the Saint King had taken action at the end.
"If we had known that you had such a strong fighting force, we wouldn't have sent people here. Our families don't have any grudges with your life star. We're a neutral faction. That year, that Great Lord went to the Huo Te and the Doff family, but didn't go to Jia Tu. This is why we could send the Saint King."
Listening to Jia Tu and Huang Tu's explanation, Zi Chen knew that this was really a misunderstanding. However, this misunderstanding had caused a great loss. Lei Dong was dead, and the God's item was taken away. No one knew where it was now.
The Jia Tu family had lost four Saints, and one Saint King was severely wounded. It would take a long time for him to fully recover.
As for the deaths of the Cheng De Star Area's Saints, no one cared. Moreover, they weren't included in the loss. It was unknown if these dead Saints would come back to life after knowing this.
It was the same for Doff Hill, and now it was the same for Jia Tu and Zhen Tu. In the eyes of the big forces, they weren't even resources. They were existences that could be abandoned at any time.
After clearing up this misunderstanding, the grudges between the two sides were resolved.
Zi Chen also told them that the God's item wasn't here anymore. This made Jia Tu and Huang Tu, who had just relaxed, worry again.
Especially when they knew that the Thunder Ancestor had the God's head, Jia Tu and Huang Tu were even more worried.
Afterward, they had to arrange for the three Saints to take the two wounded ones back and send the news back. Then, they would mobilize their forces to find Lei Dong.
As for Yi Qian, Jia Tu and Huang Tu, they stayed here. The latter said that they were here to protect the Goddess.
After they finished talking, the others left the living room, giving Zi Chen and Yi Qian some time alone.
