Chaotic Sword God

Inside the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens, many of the core disciples stood up with righteous indignation and loudly berated Chen Shuzhi.

However, there were also Chen Shuzhi’s trusted subordinates among them and people sent in by external organisations. Many of these external organisations existed for the same reason as Chen Shuzhi.

As a result, a few core disciples stood up and began to speak for Chen Shuzhi, doubting the veracity of the memory crystals’ contents.

At this moment, Jian Chen stood up. His action immediately attracted the attention of many people. All of the seated core disciples turned their gaze towards him.

Clearly, Jian Chen’s strength, identity, and background had earned the respect of many of the core disciples.

Chen Shifang forced his words back down even though he was just about to speak up. He was not bold enough to interrupt him.

Jian Chen clutched a memory crystal in hand and said slowly, “Some people doubt the truth of the contents of the memory crystal. This is actually very easy to distinguish. We only need a simple test to come to an accurate conclusion.” Jian Chen clasped his fist towards elder Nong and Chen Shifang. “Elder Nong, senior brother Chen, you are both Immortal Monarchs. Do you think there is something wrong with the memory crystals?”

“It’s very difficult to fake the contents of memory crystals. Everything recorded inside is completely accurate,” Chen Shifang immediately spoke up.

“Sect master, do you have anything to say?” elder Nong asked calmly.

Chen Shuzhi sucked in a deep breath and said slowly, “Elder Nong, do you believe the contents of the memory crystal as well? Aren’t you worried that the memory crystal was forged through unbelievable means by an expert of extremely great cultivation? After all, to some supreme experts, nothing is impossible. They possess powers beyond our wildest imaginations.”

Elder Nong seemed to have anticipated that Chen Shuzhi would not admit to it so easily. He was unsurprised. He stared at Chen Shuzhi in a rather mocking manner and said, “Since you believe that the memory crystal was forged by a supreme expert through unbelievable means, then I have one question for you, sect master. Why would such an exceptional senior go to such great lengths to create a memory crystal just to slander the sect master of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?”

“I’m afraid that before an expert like that, we would not even earn a second glance from them even if we offer up our entire sect.”

“You can’t say for certain.” Chen Shuzhi glanced deeply at Jian Chen and said, “Just earlier, I looked through everything that our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens experienced over the past few tens of thousand years. I really did find something strange.”

Everyone’s gazes were fixed on Chen Shuzhi.

“In the past few tens of thousand years, our sect has been relatively peaceful. Nothing major occurred. However, ever since our young sect master Jian Chen joined the sect, our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had truly faced a constant stream of twists and turns. We experienced many events that were unprecedented in the past hundred thousand years.”

“This young sect master of ours has a powerful background and a master with terrifying cultivation. As soon as he joined the sect, he killed a few disciples of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder fearlessly before using an Immortal-destroying Thunder to threaten the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. With that, he helped us buy a century of time. He has truly been at the centre of glory, winning everyone over.”

“Afterwards, Jian Chen also handed up the Immortal-destroying Thunder proactively. The Immortal-destroying Thunder is enough to kill Immortal Emperors, yet he handed up such a precious treasure to the sect willingly. If we didn’t reward him, wouldn’t that just make everyone lose faith in us? Our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens really did not have anything we could offer to him in exchange, so left with no other choice, I could only make Jian Chen the young sect master!”

“The sect back then truly did not have anything more precious than a title.”

“And afterwards, elder Nong opened the Star Clustered Ancestor’s secret space. After collecting everything, all of the treasures were stolen by the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor in the end. Right when we were submerged in the sorrow of failure, a mysterious expert suddenly appeared and proactively returned everything that the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor had taken from us.”

“I don’t know the identity of the mysterious expert that secretly helped us, but I do know that the items in elder Nong’s Space Ring were untouched, while my Space Ring was missing the Great Expansion Sword Formation that was composed of several dozen low quality God Tier swords. The Great Expansion Sword Formation was the only treasure of substantial value that I had obtained from the Star Clustered Ancestor’s secret space.”

Reaching there, Chen Shuzhi’s face darkened slightly. He said sternly, “From this perspective, it’s already quite clear that the mysterious expert was actually going after me.”

“As for this time, when elder Nong and Chen Shifang were ambushed, I would have thought that those mysterious organisations lurking in the shadows were going after our sect if it were not for the memory crystal. However, after seeing the memory crystal, I came to the realisation that everything was actually a scheme, a scheme to slander me and remove me from my seat.”

Reaching there, some of the core disciples in the hall could not help but look at one another. To them, Chen Shuzhi did raise a valid point, which made them waver for a moment.

Chen Shuzhi looked around and said sternly, “May I ask who will benefit the most if I lose my position as sect master? It’s as clear as day. That person will definitely be our young sect master, Jian Chen. After all, from the traditions of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, the young sect master is always the first in line to inherit the position of sect master. Jian Chen just happens to have a mysterious expert of extraordinary cultivation behind him too.”

“Then isn’t it reasonable for me to believe that everything was actually subtly arranged by the organisation behind Jian Chen? This includes the memory crystal. Their objective is for Jian Chen to become the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens rightfully.”

“As for what use a tiny sect like our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has to an expert like that, I don’t know, but our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens must hold extremely great significance to them. However, it’s all a secret to us.”

Many of the core disciples in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens nodded. They all found what Chen Shuzhi said to be reasonable. These memory crystals could indeed be forged. Perhaps it was not particularly difficult for those supreme experts of unmatched cultivations.

Perhaps the contents of the memory crystals were fake? They were incapable of telling with their cultivation.

For a moment, some people began to look at Jian Chen with uncertainty, but there was clearly doubt.

“Chen Shuzhi, we’ve known each other for all these years. Only today have I realised just how skillful you are at distorting the truth.” Elder Nong’s face was sunken.

“Since the man in black appeared here, he must have left behind some presence or traces. Elder Nong, could you ask senior daemon orchid to take action and see if he can find the man in black? As long as we find him, all will be easy.” Jian Chen clasped his fist at elder Nong.

Elder Nong was troubled. He subconsciously wanted to refuse because he was aware that he was not particularly close with the Immortal Devouring Orchid. He had no confidence in persuading it to act.

But he soon thought of something and immediately shuddered inside. He glanced deeply at Jian Chen and agreed without hesitation.

Very soon, elder Nong, Jian Chen, Chen Shuzhi, and the core disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens gathered in the back mountain. An Immortal Devouring Orchid only ten metres tall stood there quietly as if it was cultivating.

Chen Shuzhi and the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens looked towards the Immortal Devouring Orchid. Their eyes were all filled with undisguised respect, together with a sense of fear and submission.

This was a terrifying plant that could easily devour Immortal Emperors!

Standing before the Immortal Devouring Orchid, elder Nong bowed with great respect before carefully describing his request.

However, to elder Nong’s surprise, the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s gorgeous flower drooped down slightly like it was nodding as soon as he finished speaking.

In the next moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid suddenly shrank, turning into a flower that was only a third of a metre tall. With a swish, it vanished into the ground.
