Chaotic Sword God
chapter-2537

“Are you that elder brother that Xiao Ling keeps on mentioning, Jian Chen?” asked the grand elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Cheng Ming. His gaze was gentle, and he smiled faintly. He seemed extremely cordial.

“That’s me. Greetings from junior Jian Chen.” Jian Chen clasped his fist and greeted him as a junior. He spoke indifferently, without being overly polite or respectful.

He only truly respected Mo Tianyun out of the entire Empyrean Demon Cult.

“Grand elder, may I ask where Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling are?” Jian Chen followed up with a question. He had come to see Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling and get to know their situation.

“They’re here on the Delight Plane. I’ve already sent people to fetch them, so there’s no need to worry. Jian Chen, I haven’t called you over this time just for Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling,” Cheng Ming said with an amiable smile. He did not seem like the authoritative grand elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult who could mobilise all the armies on a whim.

“Let’s talk elsewhere,” said Cheng Ming. With that, he and Jian Chen vanished from there, having been taken elsewhere by the power of the divine hall.

“Patriarch!”

Jian Chen’s disappearance made many of the protectors nervous. They utterly feared the Empyrean Demon Cult. Now that they stood in the cult’s den, all of them felt uneasy.

“Since Jian Chen is bold enough to bring you here, he naturally has confidence in protecting you. What are you afraid of?” Xu Ran said indifferently. She studied the divine hall with a deep gaze, as if she could see through everything there.

“Many Primordial realm experts are hidden in the divine hall. There are even several obscure presences that have reached Chaotic Prime. Just what does the Empyrean Demon Cult plan on doing by gathering so many experts on the Delight Plane?”

“After all, this is only one of their many branches across the Saints’ World, not their headquarters,” Xu Ran thought. She stared at where Jian Chen had vanished from as the light in her eyes flickered.

Jian Chen and Cheng Ming suddenly appeared in a secret room within the divine hall.

Jian Chen looked around before focusing on Cheng Ming. “May I ask what urgent matter the grand elder has come to me for?”

“Jian Chen, you probably want to kill that Golden-striped Silver Snake in the Cloudsurge Empire, right?” Cheng Ming said.

Jian Chen nodded. Whether it be for protector Xue’s poison or Nubis’ lost essence, he needed to fight that Golden-striped Silver Snake that had fled.

Of course, most importantly, the Golden-striped Silver Snake could allow Nubis’ strength to increase even faster.

Golden-striped Silver Snakes were a wondrous species. Their method of evolution was extremely brutal. They needed to constantly slaughter their own clansmen and devour their essence to evolve.

Since they would turn on one another sooner or later for nourishment, Jian Chen obviously hoped that Nubis would be the one who obtained it all.

That was because if Nubis did not devour them, they would devour Nubis.

With his friendship with Nubis, how could he allow Nubis to become the food of other Golden-striped Silver Snakes?

“The Golden-striped Silver Snake in the Cloudsurge Empire isn’t as easy to deal with as you imagine him to be. First, he’s well ingrained in the Cloudsurge Empire. He’s the master of many princes and has close ties with the current emperor of the Cloudsurge Empire. As a result, his status in the empire is very great, well beyond other subjects.”

“Moreover, his abilities to flee are extremely impressive. Even though he’s only a Second Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, even Sixth or even Seventh Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes can’t make him stay,” said Cheng Ming. He understood the Golden-striped Silver Snake’s situation extremely well.

“I know you have a Fifth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime by your side. Please forgive me for being straightforward, but if you go looking for that Golden-striped Silver Snake with such strength, you’ll only end up fleeing in defeat. The Golden-striped Silver Snake is well established in the Cloudsurge Empire and has good ties with many of the subjects. He can easily ask a few of them to deal with you. Unless you call that Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime in your Tian Yuan clan over, you won’t be able to deal with something like that.”

Jian Chen frowned. He never thought a Second Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime would be so difficult to deal with.

“The grand elder must have other intentions for telling me this,” Jian Chen said.

Cheng Ming nodded and replied, “Indeed, I do have other intentions. I hope you can join forces with us and attack the imperial palace of the Cloudsurge Empire. Only like that will you be able to kill the Golden-striped Silver Snake.”

“What? You want to attack the imperial palace of the Cloudsurge Empire?” Jian Chen was surprised. The Cloudsurge Empire was the greatest organisation on the Delight Plane. They were so powerful that even if all the peak organisations on the plane banded together, they still would not be able to put up a fight.

This was all because the Cloudsurge Empire possessed an invincible figure who could sweep through the entire plane, the Rain Abbess.

“The Cloudsurge Empire possesses something master needs, as well as something to reconstruct my body. We would attack the Cloudsurge Empire sooner or later. Moreover, the Rain Abbess has an Innate Orchid of Five Elements planted where she cultivates. It possesses the innate powers of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Moreover, the Innate Orchid of Five Elements comes from a Xuanhuang Microcosm, so it possesses Xuanhuang Qi. It contains the fortune of the universe.” Cheng Ming stared at Jian Chen deeply and said, “You must know that Xiao Ling suffers from some defects due to innate problems. This Innate Orchid of Five Elements with Xuanhuang Qi might be able to make up for these defects.”

“Moreover, Xiao Jin is a spirit of metal, so the Innate Orchid of Five Elements will greatly benefit Xiao Jin as well. It can encourage him to evolve and take a qualitative leap.”

“Will senior Mo Tianyun take action?” Jian Chen asked eagerly. They both belonged to the Immortals’ World. Consequently, not only did he respect Mo Tianyun, but he also treated him as someone from the same homeland. He felt a sense of familiarity for some reason.

Cheng Ming shook his head. “Master has even more important matters to attend to, so he won’t take action. Also, all the Grand Primes of the Cloudsurge Empire have left the Delight Plane due to matters they need to attend to, so not a single Grand Prime is currently watching over the Cloudsurge Plane. We only need your Fifth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime to take action, and we can attack the imperial palace.”

“The protective formation in the imperial palace was personally cast down by the Rain Abbess. It’s known as the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood, but you don’t need to worry about it. As long as it’s not a Grand Prime hosting the formation, it won’t be able to threaten us with the great treasure master has left behind.”

“And once the formation is activated, the entire space will be sealed up. Regardless of the Golden-striped Silver Snake’s proficiency at fleeing, he definitely won’t be able to break out of the formation cast down by the Rain Abbess. At that time, he’ll be a sitting duck with nowhere to run. Killing him will be a piece of cake.”
