Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3554: Execution

The only two Immortal Monarchs in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had already expressed their submission to Jian Chen. Elder Nong and Chen Shifang’s actions had basically set Jian Chen’s position as the new sect master in stone.

Their attitude startled all the disciples present and left them speechless. As they felt surprised, many of them were somewhat disappointed.

From their perspective, even though Jian Chen was the young sect master and possessed an extraordinary background, he was still just a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal at the end of the day.

On the other hand, not only was Chen Shifang their junior brother, having spent many years with them in the past, his talent was exceptional as well. As they remained as Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, Chen Shifang had already overtaken them and become a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch.

His future prospects were basically unlimited. It was even possible for him to become an Immortal Emperor in the future.

If someone like that became the sect master, then all of them would be content.

Yet in the end, the position of sect master had actually fallen to a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, which immediately made the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens feel like the standard of the sect had been lowered.

Several dozen core disciples looked at one another. After spending quite a good moment hesitating, someone finally bowed towards Jian Chen reluctantly, which was equivalent to accepting his identity as the sect master.

With someone in the lead, everyone behind him copied him. Very soon, all of the core disciples forced themselves to acknowledge Jian Chen’s identity as the sect master regardless of whether they were willing or not.

“Since elder Nong and senior brother Chen have left me with the great responsibilities of the sect master, then I will swear before all the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and the countless seniors of the sect that I will definitely exert myself to the bone. I will do everything that I can to lead the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens on a path of revitalisation, returning it to its former glory.” Jian Chen did not try to reject the proposal. He accepted the position happily.

He did not really care about this position, but since he wanted to lead the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens towards glory again, such an identity would make many things easier in the future.

“I am willing to serve the sect master like a horse. The sect master’s will from now on is my command!” Nong Fugui immediately began to shed emotional tears, also dropping down on one knee like Chen Shifang. He was extremely emotional.

The core disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens all thought Jian Chen was just making some insincere remarks out of formality. After all, he was dreaming if he thought he could bring the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens back to its former glory.

Only Nong Fugui knew that Jian Chen was not joking.

On the other side, Chen Shuzhi immediately narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw elder Nong and Chen Shifang kneeling on one knee. There was a smear of disbelief in the depths of his eyes.

Elder Nong was the only senior member of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He had personally witnessed the sect’s former glory and his status was extraordinary. Chen Shuzhi had spent all these years in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens as the sect master, but he had never seen elder Nong kneel like that.

Even when those significant figures visited the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the past, elder Nong never knelt down in greeting, so what made Jian Chen so great? He was only a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, yet he could actually make elder Nong kneel willingly?

“This is not right. There’s definitely something wrong.” The light in Chen Shuzhi’s eyes leapt around. He looked back and forth between elder Nong and Chen Shifang. Two mighty Immortal Monarchs were actually kneeling and expressing their loyalty towards a junior at the same time. That was far too strange.

And, he could tell with a single glance that elder Nong and Chen Shifang did this completely willingly. There was no coercion.

Xiang Shi also stared straight at Chen Shifang and Nong Fugui in surprise. As an Immortal Emperor, he obviously noticed how strange and illogical this was as well.

“Looks like the organisation behind Jian Chen is even more powerful than I imagined it to be. These two Immortal Monarchs of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens clearly know something about it,” Xiang Shi thought.

“Congratulations on becoming the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens today, Jian Chen. Hopefully, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens can have more contact with the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants from today onwards.” Chen Shuzhi clasped his fist towards Jian Chen. He congratulated him on the surface, but it was actually a move to mention the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. There was clearly an attempt at deterrence, stressing the fact that he was a member of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. The source of thɪs content is novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

“It’s just as you say, fellow Chen. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has gone to such great lengths to destroy the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, while our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had to struggle arduously under the desire for survival. We’ll definitely have more contact with the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants in the future.” Jian Chen forced a smile.

Chen Shuzhi’s expression changed slightly when he heard that. He could already vaguely hear from Jian Chen’s tone the intention to oppose the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.

The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants wanted the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens destroyed, yet the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens defied them and tried to persist. That was clearly an attempt at opposing the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants already.

“It’s just a pity that fellow Chen might not be able to see the future between our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.” At this moment, Jian Chen shook his head with a sigh. There was a hint of pity.

“Jian Chen, what are you trying to do?” Chen Shuzhi’s heart tightened for some reason.

“Chen Shuzhi, you know exactly how many detrimental things you’ve done to the sect during the years you spent as the sect master. You understand the punishments of the sect as well. If you’re punished according to the sect rules, what fate do you think is in line for you?” Jian Chen stared at Chen Shuzhi brightly.

“According to the sect rules, Chen Shuzhi has betrayed the sect and defied the sect’s will, committing various deeds that have harmed the sect. His crimes are severe, and he cannot be forgiven. He will be punished by having his soul shattered, severing his future lives. He is to never enter rebirth,” elder Nong said sternly.

Chen Shuzhi’s expression changed drastically. He said sternly, “I’m from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. If you do that to me, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants will never spare your Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. By then, even what the Samsaric Immortal Exalt said might not be important anymore, as you’ve already provided the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants with a very good reason.”

“Really now? You’re just that certain that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants will defy the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s instructions and come after our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens despite all the risks for an Immortal Monarch with an impure bloodline like you?” Jian Chen sneered.

Chen Shuzhi’s expression changed once again.

“Chen Shifang!” Jian Chen called out.

“Present, sect master!” Chen Shifang immediately appeared before Jian Chen and bowed with his fist clasped.

“Restrain Chen Shuzhi and announce all of his crimes to the entire sect. Execute him on the main peak before everyone at noon tomorrow!” Jian Chen called out.

“Yes, sect master!” Chen Shifang did not hesitate. He immediately took action, restraining Chen Shuzhi.

Before a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, Chen Shuzhi who was only at the First Heavenly Layer basically could not resist at all.

“Jian Chen, have you considered the consequences of publicly executing a member of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?” Xiang Shi said with a darkened face.

“We’re only executing a traitor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. I don’t think this has anything to do with the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.” Jian Chen immediately sneered.

“Alright, alright, alright. I never thought a mere Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal could actually be so arrogant and so haughty that you’d actually want to publicly execute a member of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. I’d like to see if your master can deal with the fallout or not.” Xiang Shi began to struggle furiously. He flew into a fury. His expression also became rather vicious as he roared, “Then what about me? I’m a mighty great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants! Are you going to execute me as well?”

Staring at Xiang Shi who was struggling to break free, many of the core disciples were shocked. A mighty Immortal Emperor had actually ended up in such a state, which had an extremely great impact on them.
