Chapter 3885: Remains of the Ghost Immortal (One)
When he heard that, Zhou Yunzhuang was immediately taken back. He was also confused. Why did he give the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit to him?
Meanwhile, a dangerous light shone in the crack-wide eyes of the old woman from the Ghost Immortal Cult. Intense killing intent flashed within.
At this moment, Jian Chen’s Divine Armour of Heavenflight slowly disappeared. His appearance and presence was clearly exposed before everyone.
“I-it’s actually you!” Without the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, Zhou Yunzhuang immediately recognised him. Wasn’t he the Immortal Emperor junior he had just run into?
However, he was fleeing for his life back then, so he did not closely distinguish the Immortal Emperor’s identity.
Not that he saw Jian Chen again, he felt a sense of familiarity.
The two Immortal Exalts who pursued Zhou Yunzhuang also narrowed their eyes. They stared straight at Jian Chen. Shortly afterwards, they seemed to recall something. Their eyebrows became firmly locked together as their gazes towards Jian Chen became conflicted.
“It’s you, Yang Yutian!” the old woman from the Ghost Immortal cult said slowly. Her deep voice contained surprise.
“Yang Yutian… it is actually him, the junior who received the close attention of the daughter of the heavenly emperor, Xing Caijian.” Zhou Yunzhuang finally understood who the Immortal Emperor was, and he shuddered inside.
If he were just an Immortal Emperor, there was no need for these Immortal Exalts to pay such close attention to him. It was entirely because of the halo that had been granted to him by the daughter of the heavenly emperor, Xing Caijian.
Xing Caijian’s actions had lifted Jian Chen to the centre of attention of these Immortal Exalts despite being relatively unimportant previously.
Everyone could tell that Xing Caijian did not recognise Jian Chen at all previously, yet the concern she showed for Jian Chen was even enough for her to seize the seed of ways for him. She was even prepared to fight a group of Immortal Exalts for him.
These signs only indicated that Jian Chen possessed something that Xing Caijian valued very much.
At this moment, the old woman from the Ghost Immortal cult smiled. “I’ve suddenly remembered something. Many years ago, there was a rumour that spread through the Skyscraping World like wildfire. It was said that an Immortal Emperor junior secretly approached the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing through some kind of treasure that could perfectly hide his traces and presence. He managed to steal it from under the watch of a group of Immortal Exalts.”
“If I’ve guessed correctly, that person should be you, Yang Yutian!”
When they heard that, the three other Immortal Exalts present all narrowed their eyes. They stared at Jian Chen in disbelief.
They had all heard of this rumour. An Immortal Emperor junior successfully stole the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing from a group of Immortal Exalts. If it were not for the confirmation of so many Immortal Exalts, no one would have believed it.
Yet right now, the Immortal Emperor who stole the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing appeared right before them, so how could they not be shocked?
“That’s right. The person you speak of was indeed me, but there is something you got wrong. I didn’t steal the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing. I claimed it rightfully, as I was the first person to discover the Spiritual Fruit of Nurturing Ways. The Immortal Exalts were all just latecomers.” Jian Chen openly admitted it.
After receiving personal confirmation from Jian Chen, the Immortal Exalts present could not help but gasp. Even the way that the old woman from the Ghost Immortal cult looked at Jian Chen changed slightly.
Although the strength of an Immortal Emperor was nothing in their eyes, his courage and daring gained their admiration.
That was because even they would not have the courage to steal from the jaws of tigers under those circumstances.
Even if they were a hundred times bolder, they would never try to claim something connected to the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance.
There were some treasures that they could take a risk and compete for, but there were other items that they could not even try to touch.
For a moment, the surroundings sank into an eerie silence. After several seconds, the old woman from the Ghost Immortal cult said slowly, “Yang Yutian, I don’t care about the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing. I only want the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit. If you give me the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit, I’ll leave immediately.”
“If you want the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit, then you’ll have to give me something in exchange,” said Jian Chen.
“You took my possession, yet you still want me to give you something in exchange?” The old woman laughed out of anger. “Yang Yutian, I don’t want to make an enemy out of you in consideration of princess Xing Caijian, but you better not push things too far and intentionally provoke me.”
“Immortal Exalt Zhou Yunzhuang gifted the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit to me, yet you want me to hand it over to you. Looks like your Ghost Immortal cult wants to seize it by force as well.” Jian Chen glanced at Zhou Yunzhuang and sneered.
“Y-you’re lying. Since when did I give you the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit?” Zhou Yunzhuang argued back feebly, but his voice grew softer and softer. Originally, he wanted to use Jian Chen to get away, but he never thought the situation would develop like this.
“Our Ghost Immortal cult is determined to obtain the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit. Since you refuse to hand it over, we’ll have to offend you.” The old woman could tell that Jian Chen refused to hand over the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit, so icy light immediately shone in her crack-like eyes.
In the next moment, she silently appeared in front of Jian Chen; her skinny hand darted towards Jian Chen’s forehead with lightning speed.
Immediately, a terrifying pressure filled the surroundings. The old woman’s attack even filled the surrounding space with a restraining force that pressed towards Jian Chen as layers.
If it had been a regular Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, they could never escape from the old woman’s attack. The restraining force that silently appeared in the surroundings was not something that a regular Immortal Emperor could break free from.
Jian Chen’s Chaotic Force surged, erupting like a primordial beast. With the Heaven-lifting sword in hand, he directly slashed out.
The gorgeous light was like a galaxy, shining resplendently and beautifully. It sailed through the air with several blurs, causing the space to shake violently.
The blurs merged together one after another. With each blur, the attack multiplied in strength.
When the five blurs merged together, the attack became so powerful that even the expressions of the Immortal Exalt ancestors present changed slightly.
“Is… is this really a mid Immortal Emperor?” The old woman from the Ghost Immortal cult shivered inside as well. She was shocked. Although the attack still could not threaten her, it did come from a mere Immortal Emperor after all.
Boom!
The Heaven-lifting sword collided against the old woman’s skinny hand with devastating force, immediately producing a storm of energy that swept through the surroundings. Jian Chen was knocked away uncontrollably as he shook violently.
Meanwhile, the old woman did not budge. She remained exactly where she was like a mountain.
However, she had already become stern. There was also a hint of undisguised shock on her face.
