Chaotic Sword God

Faced with He Qianqian’s questioning, Jian Chen was actually left at a loss for words for a moment, as He Qianqian had treated him very well back then in the Darkstar World. She had even gone out of her way to ask for some news regarding the Ice Pole Plane from a great elder of the clan.

The news all touched on relatively sensitive topics, such that He Qianqian originally possessed no right to learn about it. Yet, she made an exception because of him and asked about it.

He Qianqian had treated him like that, yet what did Jian Chen do? He remained under disguise. Even until now, He Qianqian had no idea what his true identity was, so even Jian Chen himself felt like he had let down He Qianqian’s trust.

After a period of silence, Jian Chen sighed and said apologetically, “Much apologies, miss Qian. I’ve caused you disappointment. However, please forgive me for being unable to disclose my true identity right now. I can’t tell anyone my true identity just yet.”

He Qianqian said nothing. She only glared at Jian Chen with her icy-cold eyes. The anger in her eyes gradually surged.

Even her gaze became colder.

Noticing He Qianqian’s response, Jian Chen could not help but smile wryly. He said, “Miss Qian, I also have a clan behind me, but even the strongest member of the clan is just a Chaotic Prime. Miss Qian has also seen all the organisations I’ve offended back then in the Darkstar World. As soon as I divulge my identity, I might not be in much trouble, but my clan really won’t stand a chance against these peak organisations.”

“As a result, please understand the pains of people like me out of consideration of the struggles that we smaller organisations face.”

“You’re not from the Myriad Bone Guild? But even the strongest assassin of the saint tier from the Myriad Bone Guild came to escort you. Everyone present thought you were an assassin being nurtured by the Myriad Bone Guild. How have you suddenly become a member of a small organisation now?” He Qianqian frowned in doubt.

“That’s not actually true.” Jian Chen shook his head and explained, “I have no relationship with the Myriad Bone Guild. You can actually view that matter in the past as a deal between me and the Myriad Poison Guild.”

“No, you can’t call it a deal either. The Myriad Bone Guild has been using me the entire time, and they even schemed against me and wanted me to die after being done with me.”

“Actually, I’ve already died over two centuries ago in the eyes of the Myriad Bone Guild. They just have no idea that I managed to survive in the end due to some lucky circumstances.”

After listening to Jian Chen’s explanation, He Qianqian became extremely stern. She said grimly, “Back then outside the passageway to the World of the Fallen Beast, the head assassins of the saint tier went as far as to offend all those organisations to take you away by force. Back then, we all thought you belonged to the Myriad Bone Guild. Even the prestigious great elder of my clan thought so too.”

“That’s because your talent is just far too great, actually reaching your current realm within a thousand years, which made us all believe the Myriad Bone Guild had been nurturing you.”

“But we never thought such a complicated relationship actually existed between you and the Myriad Bone Guild. It’s completely different from what we originally imagined.”

What Jian Chen went through left He Qianqian sighing inside, but when she saw how Jian Chen behaved like he had just been wrongly accused, she was left at a temporary loss for words.

An expert who was a Chaotic Prime at most could actually still behave so nonchalant after being targeted by a tremendous organisation like the Myriad Bone Guild. He Qianqian really was stumped by where Jian Chen’s confidence all came from.

Or, in other words, had he truly reached a state where nothing mattered anymore and he no longer cared about death?

At this moment, Jian Chen continued, “As a result, I can’t disclose my true identity right now. Once the Myriad Bone Guild learns that I’m still alive, who knows what they might do.”

He Qianqian suddenly became curious. She stared at Jian Chen as if she wanted to see through his disguise and said, “Yang Yutian, I don’t know whether you’re telling the truth, but I’ll believe you for now, and I’ll stop asking about your identity.”

“Though, you definitely have other intentions in mind for coming to find me this time.”

“That’s correct. I actually want to make a deal with your Heavenly Crane clan this time,” said Jian Chen.

“A deal?” He Qianqian’s eyes flashed with light. She seemed to realise something, and she immediately became excited. She asked in a hurry, “Don’t tell me…”

She did not finish her sentence, but Jian Chen understood what she wanted to say, so he nodded with a smile.

He Qianqian’s eyes became filled with a splendid light. Her breathing immediately sped up too. She said excitedly, “That is indeed extremely important to our Heavenly Crane clan, but I’m no longer in charge of something like that here. Yang Yutian, come with me. I’ll take you to see the great elder immediately.”

As she said that, He Qianqian approached Jian Chen to take him with her to the Heavenly Crane clan.

“There’s no need for me to enter the Heavenly Crane clan. Miss Qian, please call the great elder here. I’ll just discuss with him outside.” Jian Chen took a step back and evaded her.

He Qianqian was taken aback. She said, “You don’t trust our Heavenly Crane clan? But your worries aren’t groundless. After all, you reaped just too much in the World of the Fallen Beast. Avarice clouds the mind. Once the benefits become great enough, even Grand Primes can go as far as to murder and rob.”

“Alright then, Yang Yutian. You can wait outside. I’ll go back and let the great elder know right now. But you don’t have to worry. I’ll only tell this to the great elder I trust the most.”

With that, He Qianqian rushed back to the Heavenly Crane clan excitedly.

As for Jian Chen, he travelled away from this snowy fir forest and sat down on the top of an icy mountain several million kilometers away, waiting silently.

Perhaps because the item he was about to produce was far too important to the Heavenly Crane clan, He Qianqian silently appeared in the Divine City of Heavenly Crane with a Chaotic Prime great elder in less than an hour.

Jian Chen immediately gave off a weak hint of his presence.

Even though his presence appeared and vanished in a flash, the senses of Chaotic Primes were more than enough to detect it. The great elder in the Divine City of Heavenly Crane immediately pinpointed Jian Chen’s location, and with a few flashes, he arrived before Jian Chen with He Qianqian.

Jian Chen was not unfamiliar with the great elder that He Qianqian had brought here. He was He Qianchi, who had been waiting outside the passageway to the World of the Fallen Beast back then.

“Hahaha, Qianqian told me all mysteriously just now that someone possessed a great quantity of Soil of Divine Blood, and they wanted to make a deal with our Heavenly Crane clan. I suspected it would be fellow Yang Yutian, but I didn’t think I’d actually guess it.” He Qianchi laughed aloud as soon as he saw Jian Chen.
