Chapter 3556: Refusing to Budge
Fury flashed through elder Nong and Chen Shifang’s eyes when they heard that. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had sent a spy into the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Now that they were exposed, they still had the audacity to openly come and collect them.
That was far too much!
On top of that, Xiang Yangtian did not arrive here like Xiang Shi. Apart from being forcefully captured by the Immortal Devouring Orchid, he had once infiltrated the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Even when Xiang Shi was now trapped inside the Immortal Devouring Orchid, only so many people knew about it.
On the other hand, Xiang Yangtian had come under the name of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. He had visited the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in a perfectly straightforward and just manner.
At a time like this, even if they wanted to touch Xiang Yangtian, they had to consider the consequences seriously.
After Xiang Yangtian spoke, hope and excitement appeared in Chen Shuzhi’s eyes as he knelt on the ground, restrained by a golden rope. Right now, he felt like he had just seen the hope of being saved. It wrenched him from the clutches of despair.
However, his body was immobilised, and his cultivation was sealed. He could not even speak, so he could only express his emotions through his trembling body.
Many disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens looked at Jian Chen. Even though some of them did not understand the significance behind the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, they had already realised that Xiang Yangtian was probably quite important from his entourage. They wanted to see how the new sect master would handle this.
In a distant place, the auxiliaries recruited by the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens also paid close attention to Jian Chen. Jiang Nan and Jing Yao were both stern.
They came from extraordinary backgrounds, so they obviously knew about many secrets that most people did not. They understood the strength of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants better than anyone present.
At this moment, Jian Chen clasped his fist towards the carriage in the air. There was no fear on his face at all. He said calmly, “Senior Xiang Yangtian, Chen Shuzhi is a criminal of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He has committed many deeds detrimental to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He has truly committed heinous crimes. If I can’t punish him, I would be letting down my title as the sect master.”
After saying that, the atmosphere in the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens became extremely stern. The air among the mountains became oppressive.
Xiang Yangtian did not say anything inside the carriage, but an Immortal Monarch old man around the carriage called out, “How bold of you, Jian Chen! A great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has personally asked you for someone. That’s a colossal honour to your Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. You better realise it. If you’re clever, hand him over to us immediately.”
“I’m talking to your great elder, so why do I need a servant like you butting in? The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is a renowned peak organisation on the Reverent Observance Heaven after all. Do all of your disciples have no manners?” Jian Chen said coldly.
The old man flew into a rage. He was an elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, yet he had now been called a servant, which left him fuming. He pointed at Jian Chen and roared furiously, “How dare you, Jian Chen? As the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, it would be unwise of you to lead your sect to destruction just for the sake of winning an argument.”
“Lead my sect to destruction?” Jian Chen sneered and stared at the elder in an extremely strange manner. He smiled as he said, “Senior Samsaric had once said that in the war with the Saints’ World, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had made many meritorious contributions. No one and no organisation was allowed to destroy the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Yet right now, your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is actually claiming that you’ll destroy the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Don’t tell me your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is considering defying senior Samsaric’s will?”
Reaching there, Jian Chen shook his head gently and sighed. “I never thought that in this current age, even what senior Samsaric said holds no significance to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
When he heard that, the elder from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants darkened and paled in complexion. He looked at Jian Chen with undisguised viciousness. He obviously knew what he had said was slightly inappropriate. He only wanted to frighten him, but he had never expected Jian Chen, who was only a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, to force such a great accusation on the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
“Stop with the nonsense, Jian Chen. Our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has no intentions of disrespecting senior Samsaric. Elder Xu had only misspoken from a lapse in judgement.” Xiang Yangtian’s voice rang out from the carriage, but there was a chilling coldness in his feminine voice.
After a slight pause, Xiang Yangtian continued, “However, our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants must take Chen Shuzhi away with us. I hope your esteemed sect doesn’t force me to do anything that I’m reluctant to do.” There was a sense of determination in Xiang Yangtian’s voice, clearly expressing how he would not stop until he achieved his goal.
When they heard that, the expressions of many disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and all of the auxiliaries became extremely ugly. They had obviously heard the resolve in Xiang Yangtian’s voice.
If the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens refused to let him go, perhaps Xiang Yangtian would really resort to force.
He might not touch the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but if he took Chen Shuzhi away by force, it would be quite embarrassing to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
The new sect master would also suffer a blow to his prestige.
“Chen Shuzhi is a traitor of the sect who has committed countless crimes. Our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens must clean up after ourselves.” However, Jian Chen remained firm, refusing to budge.
“In other words, this cannot be settled peacefully.” Xiang Yangtian’s voice grew colder. As he said that, the tremendous presence of an Immortal Emperor spread out.
However, as soon as the presence appeared, a colossal flower suddenly appeared in the depths of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, swaying gently in the air. An invisible presence that normal people could not sense had already locked onto Xiang Yangtian in the carriage.
Immediately, Xiang Yangtian’s carriage shook gently, and the presence from the carriage was slowly withdrawn.
“Carry out of the execution, Chen Shifang!” Jian Chen ordered resolutely while the Immortal Devouring Orchid held off Xiang Yangtian.
Chen Shifang did not hesitate. He arrived before Chen Shuzhi with a God Tier sword in hand. Right when he was about to slash down, Xiang Yangtian’s chilling voice rang out. “If you kill him, you’ll die a graveless death in under three days!”
Chen Shifang stiffened when he heard that. His expression changed. He did not doubt Xiang Yangtian’s words. With the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’s strength, killing a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch was as easy as crushing an ant.
“Back down, Chen Shifang!” Jian Chen’s face sank. He arrived before Chen Shuzhi with a single step and replaced Chen Shifang, carrying out the execution personally.
With a God Tier sword in hand, he slashed towards Chen Shifang’s head without any hesitation with a resplendent streak of light.
“Stop!” Xiang Yangtian bellowed out angrily, tempted to take action immediately, but the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s existence prevented him from acting recklessly.
“Spurt!” Chen Shuzhi was directly beheaded. A strand of sword Qi shattered his soul, claiming his life on the spot.
Jian Chen had personally executed Chen Shuzhi before all of the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
The four elders of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants stared at Chen Shuzhi’s corpse from around the carriage. Their faces all darkened from anger as their eyes shone with killing intent.
Elder Nong and Chen Shifang were also extremely stern at this moment. They both knew that Jian Chen was very powerful, an extremely terrifying Immortal Emperor. On top of that, the sect even had an Immortal Devouring Orchid that was even stronger.
However, that alone was nowhere near enough to contend against the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
As a result, they became extremely worried that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants would go to war with them now that they had executed Chen Shuzhi right in front of a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
