Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3542: The Hefty Sword Clan

Elder Nong departed from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but no one was aware that the young sect master, Jian Chen, had also vanished from the sect. No one knew where he had gone.

At the same time, several million kilometres away from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, a middle-aged man in black stood atop a mountain. He was the man that Chen Shuzhi had referred to as great uncle. Currently, he was gazing in the direction of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens from afar.

His strength had already reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor. The senses of his soul were extremely powerful. He only needed a single wisp to observe the entire situation in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

“The fish has taken the bait!” The middle-aged man in black smiled faintly and said, “Once you’re dead, Shuzhi will truly possess paramount authority in the sect. By then, I’ll have Shuzhi try and tame the Immortal Devouring Orchid.”

“If Shuzhi really ends up succeeding in taming the Immortal Devouring Orchid, then the disadvantageous position that our branch is in will immediately change.”

The middle-aged man’s gaze seemed to reach elder Nong flying several million kilometres away. His smile gradually widened as he murmured, “Shuzhi, because of your impure bloodline, you were cast aside during your youth. Even your own father abandoned you. You had truly gone through hardships in the past, having left the clan a long time ago.

“Afterwards, you actually became the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens through a coincidence. With this special identity, you ended up gaining some status in the sect.”

“However, this identity alone is nowhere near enough. Once the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens vanishes, we’ll return to the past very soon. With the sect’s current strength, a single First Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch means nothing to it.”

“But if you have a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Immortal Devouring Orchid assisting you, not only will our branch take pride in you and gain much more authority, but even you yourself will obtain tremendous benefits.”

“Shuzhi, you must not let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip through your fingers.”

The middle-aged man in black looked towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens as if he was staring at Chen Shuzhi inside the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. There was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

At this moment, a young man sped over with lightning speed, landing behind the middle-aged man in black firmly.

The young man was Yan Yun, the same person who had brought news about Chen Shifang to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and had claimed to be his acquaintance.

“Greetings, senior!” Yan Yun bowed towards the middle-aged man in black.

“You’ve done a good job!” The middle-aged man smiled mysteriously.

Yan Yun glanced at the middle-aged man’s figure and asked carefully, “Senior, there is something that perplexes me. Is Zhu Jian really Chen Shifang, a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens? I’ve known him for several tens of thousand years, but I’ve never heard him mention this.”

“Whether he is a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens or not is not something that you need to know,” said the middle-aged man in black.

Yan Yun was taken aback by that, but he knew that the person before him was an extremely powerful Immortal Emperor. Since an Immortal Emperor had spoken, he did not dare to ask anything more despite being filled with curiosity.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first then. Regardless of whether the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens helps Zhu Jian, I have to prepare some coloured immortal crystals for him.” Yan Yun bowed towards the middle-aged man politely, about to leave.

“That won’t be necessary, as there’s no need for it anymore,” the middle-aged man said softly. At this moment, intense killing intent flashed through his eyes. He raised his right hand gently. Immediately, a streak of black light shot out with unbelievable speed, piercing Yan Yun’s forehead.

Before a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, Yan Yun who was only a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch could not resist at all. He was slain easily, ending up dead.

The middle-aged man reached out, and a powerful force immediately shook up the space. Yan Yun’s core was reduced to dust bit by bit.

......

…

In the air, a resplendent streak of light shot through the sky, hurrying towards the Observance Heaven City.

The streak of light was elder Nong from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

Elder Nong did not travel alone. Beside him, the stone golem followed closely.

Along the way, elder Nong appeared to be particularly cautious. He was afraid that he would be ambushed by experts stronger than what he could deal with and would have no time to release the stone golem and the Great Spatial Sword Formation. As such, he kept the stone golem outside the entire way, ready for battle at any moment.

The Sword Region of Violet Heavens was quite far away from the Observance Heaven City. With elder Nong’s speed, the journey would take several days.

But fortunately, nothing happened during the journey. After several days of travelling, elder Nong reached the Observance Heaven City smoothly.

Many presences of Immortal Monarchs permeated the Observance Heaven City. Most of them did not intentionally erase their presence. For the sake of convenience, they allow wisps of their presence to radiate outwards.

Among these presences, elder Nong found a presence that was both familiar and foreign.

At the same time, in an extremely cheap inn inside the Observance Heaven City, a young man in his late twenties drank away silently in front of a table.

Before the young man sat a middle-aged man. His eyes were cold, and he maintained a sneer the entire time.

“Zhu Jian, you probably don’t have a lot of coloured immortal crystals left on you. Once you run out, I’d like to see how you remain in the Observance Heaven City. You should be aware that without the city’s protection, you can’t escape death,” the middle-aged man said coldly.

“Hahaha, who said that I don’t have enough coloured immortal crystals on me? I don’t mind telling you that I still have plenty of coloured immortal crystals on me. At the very least, it’s not a problem for me to stay here for a few more centuries. On the other hand, your Hefty Sword clan has really gone to quite some lengths to stop me from escaping. They’ve actually sent an Immortal Monarch like you to watch me constantly in the Observance Heaven City.” The young man laughed.

“The expenses of the Observance Heaven City are nothing to our Hefty Sword clan. Let alone a few centuries, even the coloured immortal crystals for staying here for over ten millennia is like a drop in an ocean. Zhu Jian, I’d advise you to hand it over, and our Hefty Sword clan will still spare you. We’ll even forgive you for the fact that you broke into our Hefty Sword clan and killed our clansmen.”

“This is your only chance at surviving!” the middle-aged man from the Hefty Sword clan said emotionlessly.

Zhu Jian was just about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. He looked to one side.

All he saw was an old man slowly taking a seat at an empty table beside him. His presence was erased, so he seemed like a regular old man right now.

“A Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch!” With Zhu Jian’s cultivation, he could accurately tell the old man’s precise cultivation. However, when he saw the old man’s appearance, his relaxed face tensed up. His heart that could not be fazed by anything skipped a beat as well.

In the next moment, Zhu Jian stood up like nothing had happened at all, making his way to his room on the second floor of the inn and locking himself in there.

Seeing Zhu Jian leave, the middle-aged man from the Hefty Sword clan sneered and also stood up, making his way over to the second floor of the inn.

He happened to be staying in a room beside Zhu Jian’s.
