Chapter 2477: Zi Yun’s Heart

Jian Chen, Xiao Man, and Zi Yun sat around a stone table in a beautiful garden within the Neptunean Divine Palace.

Although Jian Chen had come as a representative of the Martial Soul lineage to discuss the details of the alliance with Xiao Man, it took the three of them quite a long time to reach that topic. Instead, they began a casual conversation.

After seeing Jian Chen, it seemed like she had suddenly found the person she depended on. She explained all the suffering, worries, and fear she had experienced outside, mentioning all the difficulties she went through. When she mentioned how she had been surrounded by all the experts, she even had to hold back sobs. She seemed pitiful.

“All of the Pyrnite Ore in the Neptunean Divine Palace ended up in the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s hands?” Jian Chen naturally learnt about the deal between Xiao Man and the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, which made his face change slightly.

Although Pyrnite Ore was only a high grade G.o.d Tier material, he had learnt from the Samsaric Immortal Exalt that it was far more complicated than it appeared on the surface.

That was because Pyrnite Ore was a crucial material for the creation of an ultimate weapon. Once the ultimate weapon was refined, the Immortals’ World and the Demons’ World would be facing disaster.

“I was weak back in the Neptunean Divine Palace, and I couldn’t even approach the Pyrnite Ore. As such, I was unable to take it away. Originally, I planned on getting stronger before exchanging it with Xiao Man for other things. I never thought the Pyrnite Ore would end up in the hands of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor instead,” thought Jian Chen. The future was truly unpredictable. When he left the Pyrnite Ore where it was before, he never thought he would lose all hope of taking it away.

He understood that since the Pyrnite Ore had ended up in the hands of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, there was no chance of him taking it back unless he became so powerful that he did not fear the Heaven-splitting Ancestor anymore.

However, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, one of the most powerful existences below below Grand Exalt. He stood at the apex of the world. Jian Chen could not deal with even the weakest Chaotic Primes with his current level of cultivation, so the difference between him and the Heaven-splitting Ancestor could not be described as just an uncrossable chasm.

“But what’s the Heaven-splitting Ancestor going to do with all that Pyrnite Ore?” However, Jian Chen also felt very curious. High grade G.o.d Tier materials were very precious, but they did not seem to interest experts like the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.

“Brother Jian Chen, where did you go when you left the Desolate Plane…”

“Brother Jian Chen, when did you join the Martial Soul lineage…”

Afterwards, Xiao Man seemed to become a curious child, asking various questions about what Jian Chen had gone through in the past few years. Zi Yun could not add in even a single word.

In the blink of an eye, a day and a night had pa.s.sed. When Jian Chen saw how Xiao Man still did not plan on stopping, he finally could not help but cut her off. “Xiao Man, let’s discuss the alliance first.”

“Alliance?” Xiao Man came up with an evil idea when she heard that; she looked at Zi Yun and giggled. “It’s not like I know anything about alliances. You might as well discuss it with sister Zi Yun. I’ll follow whatever sister Zi Yun decides on. Sister Zi Yun, you have to talk with brother Jian Chen properly. I’ll go cultivate first.” With that, Xiao Man pulled a face cheekily at Zi Yun as she secretly said to her, “Sister Zi Yun, I’ve created an opportunity for you to spend time alone with brother Jian Chen. You have to make good use of it.”

“Look at you, what are you talking about?” Zi Yun blushed slightly. She could not help but retort gently. However, she glanced at Jian Chen with a rather guilty conscience, and her heartbeat sped up.

A secret message from someone with Xiao Man’s level of cultivation could not be hidden from even a G.o.dking, let alone Jian Chen who was even more powerful. As a result, Zi Yun knew that Jian Chen had heard what Xiao Man just said.

“She must have done it on purpose,” she cursed inside, but she actually felt rather eager and experienced a sweet feeling.

“Lady Zi Yun, since Xiao Man has given you the power to decide, you’ll represent the Neptunean Divine Palace in discussing the exact details of the alliance with our Martial Soul lineage,” Jian Chen said. His expression was completely natural as if he did not hear anything at all.

Zi Yun immediately felt slightly disappointed when she saw Jian Chen’s ignorant behaviour. However, she showed none of it. She only sucked in a deep breath and began a formal discussion with Jian Chen.

The discussion about the alliance was very simple. It was just an agreement on a military alliance between the Martial Soul lineage and the Neptunean Divine Palace. The Martial Soul lineage would take responsibility for protecting the Neptunean Divine Palace, keeping its master safe before she became powerful. On the other hand, the Neptunean Divine Palace only needed to help out the Martial Soul lineage in battles elsewhere as a high quality G.o.d artifact.

Very soon, Jian Chen mentioned all the requests and suggestions brought up by Hun Zang and the others.

“The greatest enemy of your Martial Soul lineage is only the Radiant Saint Hall. Forming an alliance with the Martial Soul lineage is basically having the Radiant Saint Hall replace all the peak experts who have been chasing us through outer s.p.a.ce. Alright then, it’s no problem. I’ll agree to the alliance in Xiao Man’s place. At least we’ll be able to cultivate peacefully after we’ve formed the alliance.” Zi Yun agreed without any hesitation because the Martial Soul lineage’s request was very simple. It was not particularly demanding. Moreover, the Neptunean Divine Hall’s side would benefit more, so there was nothing to think too much about.

“If that’s the case, I’ll go tell my seniors.” Jian Chen immediately stood up. He was about to leave the Neptunean Divine Palace now that his objective was completed.

“Jian Chen!” Zi Yun stood up and called at him.

Jian Chen paused and looked back. “Lady Zi Yun, is there anything else?”

When she saw Jian Chen’s confused face, the light in Zi Yun’s eyes flickered. She gritted her teeth and worked up the courage. “Why don’t you spend some more time here? You’re in such a hurry to leave.” There was some hidden bitterness in her voice.

“There’s no need. My seniors are still waiting for me to tell them the results of the discussion. We’re all going to be on the Martial Soul Mountain in the future anyway, so we’ll have plenty of opportunities to see each other,” Jian Chen replied politely before leaving the Neptunean Divine Palace without even looking back.

Zi Yun stood around the stone table as she stared in Jian Chen’s direction blankly. There was undisguised disappointment and gloom on her face.
