Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3773: The Storm Continues

After offering up the Energy-gathering Furnace, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu took out a deed, wanting to gift it to Jian Chen.

The deed corresponded to a top-of-the-line mansion in the Immortal Rising City. Not only did it possess an exceptional location, but the area it occupied was no less than the eight clans in the Immortal Rising City.

Clearly, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was aware that Jian Chen was renting his current courtyard, which was why he made this arrangement.

However, Jian Chen turned down his offer. He was only a passerby in the Hall Brilliance Heaven. He would be leaving this place before long, so the deed was obviously useless to him.

Afterwards, the two of them conversed casually for a little before Immortal Exalt Tan Yu bade farewell with the two vice city lords and took his leave.

At this moment, the news of the Void-perceiving sect being destroyed spread through the entirety of the Immortal Rising City. Various rumours regarding the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master filled the air.

As the instigator behind all of this, Jian Chen spent all his time in his courtyard, rarely leaving from there. He did not pay attention to what happened around him.

In the Primeval Divine Hall, the leader of the Hall of Alchemy, Dan Chenzi, spent day and night refining high grade Godking pills. The heavenly resources that Jian Chen had purchased from the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance formed over ten thousand sets and were converted into pills one by one.

On the sixth floor of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance, as the people of greatest authority in the branch on the Star Brilliance Heaven, elder Zhou, elder Wang, and elder Ling gathered together. They were all stern.

“In other words, the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master are probably done for,” elder Zhou said. His voice was filled with undisguised shock.

“The Void-perceiving sect has already been uprooted by the Immortal Rising City. Not a single soul is left alive from the sect, while the city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, has yet to make any defensive cautions. He’s completely unconcerned about retribution from the Void-perceiving Ancestor. From that, we can deduce that even if the Void-perceiving Ancestor is not dead, he’s basically done for.”Elder Ling also expressed his opinion. He was also filled with shock.

Whether it was the Void-perceiving Ancestor or the Wukun Master, they were both experts with great influence on the Hall Brilliance Heaven. They were major figures who could stir up the entire place, yet they had vanished like this, without any disturbance at all. It seemed like they had evaporated into thin air. How was that not startling?

“Immortal Exalt Tan Yu intentionally drew the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master away before returning to the Immortal Rising City in just a few minutes. With how short of a time frame it is, they definitely did not go anywhere far. There happens to be remote, barren mountains ten million kilometres from here. There are some unusual traces in the barren mountains left behind recently, so it’s possible to conclude that the barren mountains was where everything happened,” said elder Wang. He was stern as he said with a deep voice, “A supreme expert must have taken action. They easily overpowered the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master without alarming anyone. They did not even engage in an intense battle.”

“It might not just be a matter of overpowering anymore but killing them,” elder Zhou said slowly.

Elder Wang and elder Ling’s eyes narrowed, but they did not reject the idea. After all, they all had the same thought. The only thing that perplexed them was how Immortal Exalt Tan Yu had managed to recruit such a powerful expert.

The Merchant Union of Star Brilliance was not completely familiar with every bit of information regarding Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, but they did have a rough idea. In their knowledge, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu did not possess any connections like that.

“Looks like we need to update the information on Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. We should report what happened here to the headquarters as well. After all, this has to do with the fate of two Immortal Exalts. If everything goes as planned, the headquarters should send people to investigate.”

There were only a handful of Immortal Exalts across the entire Hall Brilliance Heaven. Now that two had gone missing all of a sudden, that would obviously pique the interest of many.

As a result, for the next few days, many people travelled thousands of kilometres from peak organisations across the Hall Brilliance Heaven to come and visit the city lord of the Immortal Rising City. As they congratulated him on surviving this precarious situation, they also secretly investigated the situation with the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu brushed away all of these questions by feigning ignorance. He did not divulge any information.

“City lord, Immortal Exalt Yi Miao of the Azure Afterglow City and the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt of the Yi Immortal City have come to visit.” As soon as he saw off an ancestor from a peak organisation, vice city lord Qiu Wanqian appeared before Immortal Exalt Tan Yu and reported with clasped hands.

“Let them in. I’ve been anticipating them.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s lips curled up.

Very soon, vice city lord Qiu Wanqian personally brought two experts, a man and a woman, into the main hall.

The man seemed to be forty years old. His chiseled face was filled with resolve, and his sharp eyes shone brightly. From time to time, a chilling light would flash through them. He seemed like he was filled with a decisive bearing.

The middle-aged man was the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt from the Yi Immortal City, as well as the city lord of one of the three great cities!

As for the woman, she seemed like she was twenty years old. She possessed alluring beauty, except her enchanting face seemed to be frosted over all year round, giving off an unapproachable sense of coldness.

She was Immortal Exalt Yi Miao of one of the three great cities, the Azure Afterglow City!

“Fellow Tan Yu, earlier when I learnt that the Void-perceiving Ancestor was attacking your Immortal Rising City with the Wukun Master, I had thought that I’d never be able to see you again. I never thought you’d be blessed with fortune, actually able to resolve even a situation like that. You really left me astounded.” The Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt laughed aloud. He could not help but feel relieved over Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s survival.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu greeted them with some pleasantries with a smile as well before inviting the two city lords to take their seats. He personally poured tea for them.

“Fellow Tan Yu, the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt and I have actually come this time to investigate something.” Immortal Exalt Yi Miao spoke up with an icy expression as if she would never smile for anything. Her chillingly cold eyes stared straight at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu as she got right to the point. “Are the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master still well right now?”

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was unfazed by Immortal Exalt Yi Miao’s coldness. He had already known Immortal Exalt Yi Miao for a million years. He was obviously aware that she was just that kind of person.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu gradually became stern. “Many fellows have visited me in the past few days to ask about the situation with the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master. My reply to all of them was I did not know. However, given my friendship with you, I’ll be honest with you.”

His words piqued the attention of both the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt and Immortal Exalt Yi Miao. They stared at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu closely.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu paused before saying with a slightly solemn voice, “The Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master will probably never appear again.”

Those words were no different from a bombshell to Immortal Exalt Yi Miao and the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt. It left them dazed.

They had already guessed the outcome, but it still left their hearts churning from the impact when they received confirmation from Immortal Exalt Tan Yu.

“Fellow Tan Yu, you’ve truly fooled us well. I never thought you’d even know an expert like that.” The Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt smiled wryly after recovering.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu only smiled. He did not explain any further.

“Oh right, investigating this matter was only part of the reason why Immortal Exalt Yi Miao and I visited you today. The other reason is because we have something to tell you.” The Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt cleared his throat and said, “Immortal Exalt Yi Miao and I have already reached an agreement. Immortal Exalt Yi Miao has already agreed to give her spot for entering the Skyscraping World to me, so I claim two of the spots for entering the Skyscraping World in the future.”

The Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt stared at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. Shortly afterwards, he seemed to think of something that put him in a fantastic mood.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was stunned. He looked at Immortal Exalt Yi Miao sitting on the side and said, “Is that true?”

Immortal Exalt Yi Miao nodded and replied emotionlessly, “Fellow Scarlet Fire’s seventh son possesses exceptional talent. He’s already passed the tests for the Courtyard of Ways. He’s formally entered the Courtyard of Ways, so fellow Scarlet Fire wants to give the additional spot to his seventh son. He hopes that he can benefit in the Skyscraping World, which will assist him in making it even further in the path of cultivation at the Courtyard of Ways.”
