Chaotic Sword God
chapter-2259

The space within the Radiant Saint Hall that stood above the clouds was extremely large. It was like a miniature world.

At this moment, a heavy stone door opened within the Radiant Saint Hall. A young man in white robes slowly made his way out with his hands behind his back.

“Young master Xin, you’ve emerged?” When the two guards in violet robes saw the young man, they immediately went up to receive him warmly.

“Yeah,” the young man referred to as young master Xin nodded. Undisguised arrogance filled his face.

He was one of the five candidates to become Chosen Saint, Gongzheng Xin!

“Gongzheng Xin, you’ve emerged so soon. How has your comprehension of the Spirit Elation Technique gone?” A voice rang out. A ruddy old man appeared before Gongzheng Xin silently.

Two white-robed Radiant Saint Masters appeared at basically the same time after the old man. As if they had teleported, they appeared silently from far away.

One of them was a middle-aged man with a determined expression, while the other was an old woman who seemed to be in her seventies.

“Disciple Gongzheng Xin greets teacher Ma, teacher Chen, and teacher Mao!” Gongzheng Xin immediately began to show respect with the appearance of the three of them.

This was because they had all surpassed the seven-colored soulcore and condensed soultrees.

Experts like that held the position of elder in the Radiant Saint Hall. They possessed great statuses.

Every single nine star genius within the Radiant Saint Hall would receive the personal guidance of elders. And right now, it just happened to be when the new Chosen Saint would be decided from the five nine star geniuses. As a result, the five candidates received special treatment, where they would have the guidance of at least a single elder at all times.

The people who guided Gongzheng Xin happened to be the three elders.

“Teachers, I’ve already gained a rudimentary comprehension of the Spirit Elation Technique,” said Gongzheng Xin.

“Good. You really haven’t disappointed us. Gongzheng Xin, the day when the Chosen Saint is decided is getting closer and closer, so you can’t afford to tarry at all now. You must cultivate with all your efforts and try to break through so that you can obtain the position and make us proud,” one of the elders said sincerely.

“Yes. I will do everything I can. I won’t disappoint the teachers,” Gongzheng Xin clasped his fist.

Afterwards, the three elders left together, leaving Gongzheng Xin all by himself at the doorway.

“Although I’ve reached the peak of the mid four-colored soulcore, it’s just too difficult for me to break through in two years. I definitely won’t be able to achieve it just by cultivating like normal,” murmured Gongzheng Xin. A cold light flickered through his eyes as he murmured to himself, “It’s time for me to get that Thousand Leaf Lotus. Once I have it, I’ll definitely be able to break through in two years.”

“Xin Bin should be emerging from seclusion soon as well. I have to be faster than him. I can’t let him get the Thousand Leaf Lotus.”

…

The next morning, Jian Chen was cultivating within his dwelling on the Soaring Clouds Peak. But at this moment, his formation began to twist, and a black-robed, middle-aged man directly passed through, entering the dwelling without any obstruction at all.

Jian Chen stopped cultivating. He opened his eyes and stared at the uninvited middle-aged man calmly. He asked indifferently, “Who are you? Why have you barged into my dwelling without my permission?”

The formation outside of Jian Chen’s dwelling was of an extremely low grade, so it suited his status as a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore. However, the black-robed man had a cultivation equivalent to an Overgod, so the formation was naturally useless against him.

“You must be Chang Yang. You sure have managed to stay composed. However, you don’t need to know who I am. I’ve only come to pass on a message for young master Gongzheng Xin. The young master wants you to state a price, and he’ll buy the Thousand Leaf Lotus from you,” the man made his way before Jian Chen calmly and looked at the seated Jian Chen from above.

“My Thousand Leaf Lotus is not for sale,” Jian Chen declined without any hesitation.

The man frowned, and his voice became slightly gruff, “The Thousand Leaf Lotus is of great use to young master Gongzheng Xin, and the young master also desires the Thousand Leaf Lotus. What you’re doing will only offend the young master. That’s not a clever decision just for a Thousand Leaf Lotus.”

“Gongzheng Xin needs it, but does that mean I have to sell it to him? Moreover, there are five candidates. It’s too early to say who’s going to become the future Chosen Saint,” said Jian Chen.

The man’s face sank slightly. Immediately, he snorted coldly, “Chang Yang, you have no idea what’s best for you. Offending young master Gongzheng Xin won’t give you any benefit.”

Jian Chen remained seated on the ground, but he made his face twist in pain. He already knew that from the moment the black-robed man had stepped onto the Soaring Clouds Peak, the senses of Han Xin’s soul had already been following him closely.

“I wonder how Han Xin will deal with this matter,” thought Jian Chen.

However, just when he thought of that, the white-robed Han Xin suddenly appeared before Jian Chen. His face was sunken. He directly grabbed the black-robed man and tossed him out mercilessly. He said, “You’ve even come to the Soaring Clouds Peak to harass the disciples of my Soaring Clouds Peak? Do you really think it’s that easy to set foot in my territory?”

Han Xin was already a Radiant Godking, so the black-robed man was unable to resist at all. When he was thrown away by Han Xin, he directly collided with the formation outside Jian Chen’s dwelling before falling to the ground in a ruffled shape.

“Protector Han…” The black-robed man scrambled to his feet. He looked at Han Xin, and his face immediately changed slightly.

“Piss off. Without my permission, you are forbidden from setting foot in my territory,” Han Xin said coldly.

The black-robed man’s face became ugly as he left silently.

“Sir!” At this moment, Jian Chen stood up and clasped his fist towards Han Xin.

Han Xin looked back at Jian Chen, and the coldness on his face immediately melted away. It was replaced by concern, “Chang Yang, has he scared you?”

“He hasn’t. Fortunately, you made it in time, or who knows what would have happened,” Jian Chen said with composure.

Han Xin sighed gently from that, “Now that the competition for the Chosen Saint is approaching, the five candidates will be doing everything they can to increase their strength. The Thousand Leaf Lotus just happens to be able to bring evident effects to their cultivation, so they naturally won’t give up on it.”

Han Xin looked at Jian Chen sternly and said, “According to my understanding of Gongzheng Xin, he definitely won’t give up on it. He’ll definitely come again, and even Xin Bin will probably stick his nose into this matter. It’s best if you find a way to get rid of your Thousand Leaf Lotus appropriately. You can’t offend the nine star geniuses too much. Their future potential is far greater than mine.”

“Thank you for your concern, sir. I understand what to do.”

…

The black-robed man who had been thrown out by Han Xin stood before Gongzheng Xin and reported Jian Chen’s reply truthfully to Gongzheng Xin.

Gongzheng Xin’s face immediately sank from the black-robed man’s explanation. He snorted coldly, “This Chang Yang really has no idea what’s best for him. Not only did he defy my orders within the ring, but he even dares to turn me down when I want to exchange with him. If it weren’t for the rule that forbids the murders of fellow disciples in the Radiant Saint Hall, I definitely would not let him live.”

Gongzheng Xin looked at the black-robed man and said like he was giving an order, “Go to the Snowfall Peak and tell Wen Cheng to see me.”
