Chapter 974
“Since I’ve said my piece, we only need to judge the choice made the rulers of the three big countries now . I hope they make the correct decision . Otherwise, I’d have to fight to my death!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes thinned into a slit, with the light of passion shinning from within .

The worst possible outcome was for him to engage in a brutal battle .
It would be best if they could end the war!
Then, the experts from the three big countries would retreat and leave Tang of the East .
Though the country would still suffer in this scenario, the lost was acceptable .
Either way, the country would not make such a recovery in a short while with Emperor Xiao and Emperor Yun heavily injured .
Even if it recovered, the country would still lose in a direct war against the three big countries .
Tang of the East had suffered too much during the war at the imperial palace 1,200 years ago . Later on, conflict broke out in the Xia Clan, resulting in a chaotic civil war within Tang of the East, weakening the country even further .
Not even Jian Wushuang’s return would be able to immediately rejuvenate the might of the country .
In such a scenario, it would be impossible for the country to retaliate and seek revenge on the three big nations .
Thus, the country could only compromise and promise not to seek revenge on the three big countries . It would be enough as long as the outsiders leave and give the country the opportunity to recuperate .
They could always find an opportunity for revenge after the country recovered . Then, they could talk about their past humiliations of being trapped helplessly in the imperial palace .

“Let us calmly wait here for three days,” Emperor Xiao said .
The others in the palace nodded in agreement .
Right at the same time, the rulers of the three big countries had also gathered in their camp .
The three of them immediately started their discussion after receiving the news .
“Jian Wushuang dissipated into blood fog in front of so many of us! How is he still alive?” The purple-haired man with a gloomy face was the first to speak . He was the ruler of West Paradise . In the Green Fire World, he was called West Paradise Emperor .
“I can’t believe it either! Could we have made a mistake, Ape Celestial Master?” a grey-robed elder asked, frowning . He was South Emperor, the ruler of South Mountain Kingdom .
The last man wore a pure gold imperial robe . Complementing his solemn demeanor was the strongest aura amongst all three emperors .
His aura was stronger than that of Emperor Xiao and Emperor Yun at their peak . He was evidently a Celestial Master .
He was of the same realm as Xia Yong, the ancestor of the Xia Clan that Jian Wushuang killed .
He originated from the North Sea Kingdom . Those in the Green Fire World called him Ape Celestial Master .
“Humph!”

Ape Holy Master looked around him before saying, “Yes, many people saw that . But the man who killed Dao Master Gu Ji outside the imperial palace was an Eternal Realm expert . If it’s not Jian Wushuang, who in the Eternal Realm could kill a top-tier Rank Two Dao Master?”
West Paradise Emperor and South Emperor were both stunned .
“Furthermore, the expert uses a sword . That means he’s obviously a Sword Principle cultivator . The finger that he used to kill Dao Master Gu Ji was the same as the one he used in the war 1,200 years ago . He’s Jian Wushuang!”
“There’s no need to doubt his identity and speculate about how he revived himself . Our problem right now is how we should deal with this situation and Jian Wushuang!” Ape Celestial Master cried .
West Paradise Emperor and South Emperor frowned .
“How?”
“How do we deal with Jian Wushuang?”
It was widely known that Jian Wushuang saved the entire Tang of the East by himself in the war at the imperial palace . Many experts had closely observed and noticed that his power at the end was far strong than any Dao Master . He had achieved something of another realm .
That realm wasn’t something that any of the experts could even dream of reaching . Even Ape Celestial Master, the strongest of them all, was just a joke in the eyes of experts of that level .
If Jian Wushuang had the same strength now, how could the three big countries even defend themselves?
Fear!

Though he was a mere Eternal Realm expert, he managed to invoke the deepest fear in all three rulers .
“Humph! Jian Wushuang is just an Eternal Realm expert . Even though he killed Dao Yuanzi 1,200 years ago, he must have used some unusual methods and it’s unlikely he’ll be able to use them again . In other words, he’s no longer as strong as he was back then,” Ape Celestial Master murmured .
“I also don’t believe that he can use the same power again . ” West Paradise Emperor nodded in agreement .
“That’s right . But what if he still retains that power?” South Emperor retorted quietly .
West Paradise Emperor and Ape Celestial Master were stunned .
“That’s right . ”
“Even if it’s unlikely, it’s still possible . ”
“What if Jian Wushuang still retains that power?”
“With such a power, killing us would be as easy as crushing ants . ”
“Furthermore, even if he’s unable to retain his power, his potential is unmatched . If he doesn’t die, his threat to the three big countries will be paramount in the future,” South Emperor said .
West Paradise Emperor and Ape Celestial Master couldn’t help but keep quiet on the issue .
Jian Wushuang’s potential was another huge problem for them .
Even if he wasn’t strong enough to be a concern, his ability to kill a top-tier Rank two Dao Master while being in the Eternal Realm meant that he would be incredibly powerful after becoming a Dao Master . If he had numerous Dao and became a Rank Three Dao Master, his power would be unparalleled .
“Could he be another Sunrise Sword Emperor?” West Paradise Emperor asked in a trembling voice .
Ape Celestial Master and South Emperor’s bodies shook as fear crept up to them .
“Sunrise Sword Emperor?”
That was a freak of nature that they would rather die than provoke . Jian Wushuang’s ability and potential now could match up to that freak .
While they were trapped in their worries, Ape Celestial Master’s face suddenly lit up .
“What’s wrong?” West Paradise Emperor and South Emperor turned to look at him .
“Good news . Dao Master Gu Ji’s Junior Brother, Master Ku, one of the 18 masters of Void Temple, is rushing over after hearing about his death . He’s scheduled to arrive tomorrow,” Ape Celestial Master explained .
