Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3798: Experts Visit

“Sect master, you really can’t blame these Immortal Exalts for this. Regular methods truly would not have cut it if you wanted to extract anything useful from the ancestor of the Tiger Roar clan’s head. Let alone the fact that these are all early and mid Immortal Exalts on the Hall Brilliance Heaven, even some late Immortal Exalts could forget about finding anything useful from these people’s heads.”

“If you want someone to blame, you can only blame the Immortal Emperor ancestor of the Tiger Roar clan for being unlucky, running into me of all people. I’m not too powerful, but even some late Immortal Exalts come nowhere close to my mastery over the soul. If they ended up in the hands of other experts, they would truly be able to keep all of their secrets hidden.”

“After all, it is my specialty. The cultivation method I practise and the way I comprehend are all related to this aspect.”

......

…

At this moment, a large number of experts gathered where the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master perished ten million kilometres from the Immortal Rising City, carrying out a fine search there.

Over a dozen Immortal Exalts merged their souls with the surroundings, resonating with the ways while trying to peer into everything that had occurred here.

“There’s demon Qi!” Suddenly, the Warring Old Freak opened his eyes. His gaze shone sharply like a pair of swords, sweeping through every inch of the area.

“Senior Warring, have you discovered something?” The Immortal Exalts nearby all looked over. They had also carried out a search here before, but they did not find anything due to their limited cultivation and other reasons.

“There are signs of activity from a demonic expert here. He’s quite powerful. He’s erased many of the traces here. Even with my capabilities, I only found a wisp of lingering presence,” the Warring Old Freak said sternly.

“A demonic expert? In other words, the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master probably died at the hands of a demonic expert? Looks like the Flying Leaf Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment’s theory is right. A demonic god artifact as vicious as the Fiend Soul Banner probably came from this demonic expert.”

“As long as we find this demonic expert, the truth will be entirely revealed.”

“However, I still find it puzzling. Why was the secondary banner left behind there?”

The Immortal Exalts nearby discussed with varying opinions.

“I’ll pay a personal visit to the Immortal Rising City!” After a moment of hesitation, the Warring Old Freak vanished with a sway. When he appeared again, he had already arrived above the Immortal Rising City. He gave off an invisible pressure.

The weaker cultivators were unable to sense this pressure. Only certain cultivators above Immortal Monarch could sense it. The stronger their cultivations were, the stronger the pressure felt.

At this moment, all of the Immortal Emperor ancestors in the eight organisations of the Immortal Rising City had been alarmed. They were shocked and immediately became nervous.

“It’s the Warring Old Freak from the War sect!” Elder Ling, elder Zhou, and elder Wang all appeared at the top of the six-storeyed tower in the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance, staring at the sky sternly.

“Aren’t they investigating the Fiend Soul Banner? Why have they come to the Immortal Rising City?” Elder Zhou voiced his doubts.

“I’ve just received the news that they visited the place that is suspected to be where the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master vanished earlier, yet they’ve come to the Immortal Rising City now. Don’t tell me this is connected to him?” elder Ling said. Subconsciously, he looked towards the courtyard where Jian Chen was staying. His eyes flickered with uncertainty.

“Elder Ling, a vicious demonic artifact like the Fiend Soul Banner has appeared near us. Are there any orders from up above?” Elder Wang looked at elder Ling.

Elder Ling said sternly, “The higher-ups are treating the appearance of the Fiend Soul Banner with great attention. I’ve already received a reply from the headquarters on the Plain Subtlety Heaven. An ancestor is already on his way. After all, forging this item requires the deaths of countless creatures. It’s said that even in the Demons’ World, Fiend Soul Banners are forbidden items. Anyone who tries to forge them will face opposition from an alliance of experts from the Demons’ World.”

“If it’s a smaller number of lives, no one would really care, but the number of deaths required to forge this item is far too much. It’s basically an act that defies the heavens. It is nothing short of a tragedy.” Elder Zhou sighed.

“Greetings, senior Warring!” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu appeared above the city lord’s estate and clasped his fist towards the Warring Old Freak.

“Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, could you tell me exactly who it was that saved your Immortal Rising City?” the Warring Old Freak said slowly.

“That’s obviously not an issue. He just happens to be in the city. I’ll take you to him right now.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu did not hesitate at all.

“What? You said he’s in the city right now?” The Warring Old Freak furrowed his brows. He had already enveloped the entire city with the senses of his soul. He failed to sense the presence of any Immortal Exalts, much less any trace of demon Qi.

“Mumu, Jing Feng, the two of you should enter the divine hall for the time being.” At the same time, Jian Chen took out a low quality God Tier divine hall in the courtyard where he stayed. He sent Jing Mumu and Jing Feng into the divine hall first before placing it into the Primeval Divine Hall.

As soon as he had completed these arrangements, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu and the Warring Old Freak appeared in the courtyard.

Following closely behind them were the group of Immortal Exalts who had spent the past few days rushing around, searching across the entire Hall Brilliance Heaven with the Warring Old Freak.

They all sensed the Warring Old Freak’s presence, so they followed him here.

“Fellow Yang Yutian, this is senior Warring of the War sect!” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu introduced him to Jian Chen.

Jian Chen did not panic at all. He was calm and composed, clasping his fist and bowing towards the Warring Old Freak.

“Everyone, this is fellow Yang Yutian. As for fellow Yang Yutian’s exact identity, I actually do not know either, so I can’t introduce him to you properly,” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said to everyone.

When he saw Jian Chen, the Warring Old Freak immediately frowned. It was not just him. Even the Immortal Exalts behind him furrowed their brows deeply.

That was because Jian Chen did not hide his cultivation, so everyone immediately saw through his presence that was equivalent to a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor’s.

“City lord Tan Yu, was he really the person who resolved the crisis for your Immortal Rising City?” asked a burly, middle-aged man with a golden bow over his shoulder in complete surprise.

He was the ancestor of the Overflowing Immortal sect, the Sun-chasing Immortal Exalt!

“It was indeed fellow Yang Yutian who saved our Immortal Rising City.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu smiled faintly.

When they heard that, many of the Immortal Exalts present were taken aback.

Jian Chen smiled slightly. He slowly glanced past everyone in an extremely calm manner and smiled. “I know why you’re here, seniors. However, please don’t worry, seniors. I will tell you everything that I know. However, I do hope that I can talk to senior Warring alone.”

“Hmph, who do you think senior Warring is? You’re just an Immortal Emperor, yet you want to talk to senior Warring alone?” An Immortal Exalt snorted. He was extremely discontent with Jian Chen’s attitude.

Seeing how there were more people who wanted to make snide remarks, the Warring Old Freak raised his hand. He stared straight at Jian Chen in a slightly domineering manner as if he was trying to see through him completely. After a pause, he said, “Alright, I’ll speak with you alone. I hope you don’t disappoint me.”

Shortly afterwards, Jian Chen brought the Warring Old Freak into the guest room. Afterwards, under Jian Chen’s request, the Warring Old Freak used his strength to seal up the entire guest room, ensuring that nothing that occurred in there would be leaving the room.
