The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 892 Ambush

Chu Hongnan has been waiting for news from Chu Xianlie.

The new mineral resource is of great importance to the family, and as the patriarch of the Chu family, Chu Hongnan certainly would not ignore it. However, he was also concerned about the relationship between the Jade Book Sect and the Netherworld Sect, which was well-known throughout the Quicksand Divine Domain.

The Chu family competing with the Jade Book Sect for the new mineral resource seemed like a long shot. But even if the chances were slim, they had to strive for it.

"Isn’t the literary contest between our Chu family and the Jade Book Sect scheduled for tomorrow?" Chu Ziming frowned.

"The literary contest is hosted by the Netherworld Sect. Do you think Chu Xianlie as the commander could refuse if the Netherworld Sect wanted to move it up by a day?" Chu Hongnan shook his head.

Although he wasn’t at the scene, he could guess some of the small tricks the Netherworld Sect might play against the Chu family.

"That’s true." Chu Ziming nodded.

"Hmm?"

"We won?"

Upon seeing the message, Chu Hongnan’s face lit up with joy, "We actually won! Our Chu family has obtained the mining rights to the new mineral resource. Haha, well done!"

Chu Hongnan immediately sent a message back to Chu Xianlie.

Chu Xianlie also used the communication crystal stone to report the details of the literary contest to Chu Hongnan.

At this moment, upon hearing Chu Xianlie’s words, Chu Ziming’s expression became somewhat complicated.

Through Chu Zhen’s report, Chu Ziming also knew that the people representing the Chu family in the contest were Chu Qingyao, Huang Yishan, and one of Jing Yan’s subordinates.

"Chu Qingyao should be able to win a match. Patriarch, did Huang Yishan also defeat his opponent?" Chu Ziming couldn’t help but ask.

He did not hope that Jing Yan’s subordinate would be the key to the Chu family’s victory in the contest.

"Chu Qingyao won the first match, Huang Yishan lost the second, but Jing Yan’s subordinate won the third match, defeating Yang Shi, the body refining martial artist representing the Netherworld Sect." Chu Hongnan took a deep breath and said.

When he learned that Yang Shi had been killed in the third match, his heart skipped a beat.

Yang Shi of the Netherworld Sect was actually killed.

Chu Hongnan also knew about Yang Shi.

"Yang Shi?" Chu Ziming was also slightly shocked.

"Yes, Yang Shi was killed on the spot by Jing Yan’s subordinate." Chu Hongnan nodded, "Jing Yan’s subordinate is really strong, even Yang Shi was killed. Yang Shi wasn’t an easy opponent."

"Patriarch, the Netherworld Sect values Yang Shi highly. Now that he’s dead, the Netherworld Sect will certainly blame our Chu family." Chu Ziming immediately frowned and said.

Chu Hongnan pondered for a moment, "Let them blame us!"

...

The warship that Chu Xianlie and others were on was flying towards the Chu family camp.

All the members of the Chu family were excitedly chatting. This time, the Chu family had really redeemed themselves. It was easy to imagine that the news of the Chu family winning the mining rights to the new mineral resource would soon spread throughout the gathering place and then throughout the Quicksand Divine Domain. When the news spread, wouldn’t all the forces in the gathering place be shocked?

Before the literary contest ended, who could have thought that the Chu family could defeat the Jade Book Sect, which had the support of the Netherworld Sect?

It was too exhilarating!

"Deputy commanders, once we return to the camp, start sending people to mine the new resource immediately," Chu Xianlie said to a few deputy commanders.

"Commander, shouldn’t we wait for the people from the Netherworld Sect to arrive?" Chu Zhen frowned.

According to the rules of the gathering place, the Chu family had to hand over half of the mined resources to the Netherworld Sect when mining the new resource. So, the Netherworld Sect would also send people to the new resource to oversee that the Chu family didn’t hoard the resources.

"We won’t wait!" Chu Xianlie shook his head.

"Exactly, if the Netherworld Sect doesn’t send anyone for decades, do we have to wait forever? We start mining, and their people can come if they want." one of the deputy commanders said.

"Indeed, we have to thank Jing Yan for securing the mining rights to the new mineral resource this time. Without Jing Yan’s subordinate, our Chu family wouldn’t have had any chance. Let alone the members of the Chu family camp, even the main family wouldn’t have someone capable of matching Yang Shi," Chu Xianlie sighed.

"Yes, Jing Yan’s subordinates are incredibly strong. I wonder where Jing Yan found them. If Jing Yan is willing to join our Chu family, it would be a huge help to our family!" a deputy commander said with bright eyes.

At first, they somewhat didn’t want Jing Yan to join the Chu family. But now, they hoped Jing Yan would become a member of the Chu family.

Of course, what they valued were Jing Yan’s subordinates, not Jing Yan himself.

"Lianxing, we need to trouble you to sound out Jing Yan. After all, you are Jing Yan’s mother. I assume Jing Yan came to the camp this time to find you," Chu Xianlie looked at Chu Lianxing.

"Commander, whether Jing Yan joins the Chu family or not is up to him. If he wants to join, I won’t stop him, but the decision is Jing Yan’s," Chu Lianxing understood Chu Xianlie’s intentions and immediately refused.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the entire warship suddenly shuddered slightly.

Then, the speed sharply decreased.

Chu Xianlie and the others’ faces changed slightly.

"What happened?" Chu Xianlie’s breath tensed, asking the person controlling the warship.

However, before receiving a response, the figure of Jing Yan appeared in front of Chu Xianlie and the few deputy commanders.

"Commander, we’ve been ambushed," Jing Yan said.

At the first moment of the energy impact, Jing Yan sensed it. Then he released his divine soul and found that the Chu family warship was caught in a strange energy vortex. Now, the Chu family warship was already isolated and restricted by the surrounding weird energy.

"What? An ambush?"

"How is that possible? In the gathering place, who dares to ambush our Chu family warship?" Chu Zhen’s tone was full of arrogance.

The warship had the Chu family’s battle flag hung all over it. Under normal circumstances, no force would ambush the Chu family warship unless they wanted an all-out war with the Chu family.

Chu Xianlie and the others were also skeptical, looking at Jing Yan.

"Many formations have been triggered here, and our warship is already caught inside them. The power of laws in this area has been blocked. Commander, in this situation, I’m afraid your communication crystal stone can’t send out any messages," Jing Yan said calmly, looking at Chu Xianlie and the others.

Chu Xianlie hurriedly took out the communication crystal stone, trying to send a message back to the main family.

But as Jing Yan said, the communication crystal stone had no response.

"Damn it!" At this time, Chu Xianlie understood that Jing Yan was telling the truth. The Chu family warship had indeed been ambushed.

"Everyone, follow me and prepare for battle!" Chu Xianlie reacted quickly, letting out a loud shout that echoed through the entire warship. Then he rushed out at the fastest speed to the outside of the warship.

On the surface of the warship, complex magic patterns flickered continuously, indicating that the warship was being violently impacted by external energy. The Chu family warship had the level of a holy artifact, with quite considerable defense capabilities.
