Chaotic Sword God
chapter-3557

Xiang Yangtian remained silent for a very long time inside the carriage. Only then did he leave behind a mild message. “Sure enough, the new sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ courage is commendable. Let’s go.”

In the next moment, Xiang Yangtian’s carriage turned into a streak of light and shot off into the distance. With the Immortal Devouring Orchid deterring him from the back, he was unable to muster any courage to do anything overboard.

From beginning to end, neither of them discussed the issue of Chen Shuzhi’s true identity. It seemed as if both Jian Chen and Xiang Yangtian had proactively avoided Chen Shuzhi’s true background.

Both of them understood this matter, so they did not lay it out in the open.

With Chen Shuzhi’s death, all of the disciples gathered around the main peak dispersed. However, the uproar created by Chen Shuzhi clearly would not settle down so quickly in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

As a result, for a very long time, it was possible to hear disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens discussing Chen Shuzhi in various places.

However, many of them could not help but sigh as soon as they mentioned this sect master. He seemed upright and seemed to offer everything to the sect, but he actually had a final objective of leading the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to destruction.

Jian Chen, Chen Shifang, and elder Nong gathered together in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens.

However, Jian Chen now sat on the sect master’s throne that was rightfully his, while Chen Shifang and elder Nong stood below politely.

“The great elder from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants only mentioned Chen Shuzhi. He never mentioned the other great elder, Xiang Shi. Looks like the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is still unaware that Xiang Shi has actually fallen into our hands,” said Chen Shifang with a hint of relief, “Fortunately, they don’t know about this, or the situation today probably would have been even more difficult to deal with. If we handled it badly, we might have actually ended up fighting. After all, an Immortal Emperor’s status is completely different from what Chen Shuzhi possessed as an Immortal Monarch.”

Jian Chen shook his head gently as he sat on the throne. “No, you’re wrong. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants already knows that we’ve captured Xiang Shi. There are many spies from various organisations lurking within our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Nothing that our sect does can fool their eyes.”

Elder Nong’s expression changed slightly. He said in surprise, “When we asked senior daemon orchid to capture Xiang Shi yesterday, only the core disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens were aware of it. Are there also people planted by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants among these core disciples?”

“Of course, there are, and there’s much more than one. The organisations behind them differ, but they possess extremely impressive communication techniques. Let alone Immortal Monarchs, probably even some regular Immortal Emperors will fail to sense it.” Jian Chen looked towards elder Nong and said, “Do you remember the core disciple who died in his own dwelling last time? There’s a supreme expert hidden behind him. The expert used him to grasp everything that our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens did, and their method of communication was through dreams.”

“Using dreams to communicate can even fool Immortal Emperors, but unfortunately, he encountered me.”

“Sect master, are you talking about Luo Xi?” Elder Nong came to a realisation and murmured, “The circumstances around Luo Xi’s death were fishy. There were absolutely no wounds on his body. Chen Shuzhi and I were left puzzled for a very long time. Only now have I learned that the sect master was actually cleaning up the sect a little beforehand.”

“No, Luo Xi did not die by my hand. Instead, I tried to infiltrate his dream and was discovered by the person behind him. The expert used the power of the dream to injure me, while Luo Xi died as a consequence,” Jian Chen said slowly.

“What? With the sect master’s strength, you were injured by the power of the dream?” Chen Shuzhi and elder Nong were shocked by that.

“The master of the dream is a mid Immortal Exalt at the very least.” Jian Chen became extremely stern when he thought about the situation back then.

Elder Nong and Chen Shuzhi immediately gasped. They trembled inside.

“We’re forced to clean up some of these eyes now. Otherwise, our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will have absolutely no secrets.” Jian Chen tapped the armrest gently as if he had made up his mind.

“Sect master, since the organisations behind these people are so powerful, wouldn’t we offend some major figures if we clean them up?” Elder Nong was troubled. “And the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants too. Since they know that Xiang Shi is with us, they’ll take action sooner or later. We need to prepare some countermeasures as soon as possible.”

“We can’t let these eyes stick around just because we’re afraid of offending some major organisations. It’s fine right now for the current Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, given how little secrets we have and their importance, but if we continue to develop, we’ll expose far too many secrets of the sect. As a result, these people must be cleaned up,” Jian Chen said firmly. He thought of the Primeval Divine Hall first.

The Primeval Divine Hall would appear before all the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens sooner or later. If the Primeval Divine Hall was exposed through these spies, the consequences would be terrible.

“As for the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, you don’t have to worry about them for now. In my knowledge, the Immortal Exalts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants have all gone to the sacred clan. They won’t be returning any time soon. As long as their Immortal Exalts are unable to take action, they can’t threaten us.”

“Of course, even if they do have Immortal Exalts, we’re not without a way out.”

“Elder Nong, I’ll need your cooperation for cleaning up the spies.”

......

…

Several hundred kilometres away from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, a dense cluster of structures stood quietly within the depths of a primitive mountain range abundant with spiritual Qi. Pavilions and palaces scattered across the entire place. Mountains hung in the sky, and the ground was covered in sweet dew. Among the mist, it seemed like an abode of immortals.

This was the colossal existence of the Reverent Observance Heaven, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.

At this moment, a carriage shot over and vanished into the depths of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants with a flash.

The carriage had just returned from the Sword Region of Violet Heavens. Xiang Yangtian was inside.

Before long, Xiang Yangtian and five other great elders gathered inside a tower at the back mountains of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. They all levitated in the air without any particular ordering.

“Did you bring back that child, Chen Shuzhi?” a great elder looked towards Xiang Yangtian and asked.

Xiang Yangtian’s face was sunken. “Chen Shuzhi was executed by the new sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is protected by an Immortal Devouring Orchid. It is extremely powerful, far stronger than me, so I was unable to save Chen Shuzhi.”

“What? Chen Shuzhi was killed?” The five other great elders glanced at one another when they heard that and frowned. “Chen Shuzhi isn’t favoured by the sect due to his mixed bloodline, but he’s still one of ancestor Ling’s many descendants. Despite that, he died at the hands of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens like this. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is looking down on our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants far too much.”

“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens executed Chen Shuzhi under the name of a traitor of the sect.” Xiang Yangtian stressed.

“So what? A mighty great elder of our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants visited them personally, demanding a person, yet the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens actually had the courage to not hand him over. They’re out of their minds.”

“Looks like the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens already thinks they’re a big deal after obtaining what the Star Clustered Ancestor left behind. They won’t even take our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants seriously anymore.”

The eyes of the great elders from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants shone coldly. They felt like they had just been provoked.

“Enough. Let’s not talk about Chen Shuzhi for now. We’ll let ancestor Ling and the others deal with it once they return from the sacred clan. There’s no reason for us to worry about this either. All that matters is we do everything that we can. That way, even if ancestor Ling blames us, we won’t be without a reason,” said a great elder.

“Ancestor Ling has far too many descendants. Who knows how many mixed-blood descendants like Chen Shuzhi he has. They range into the thousands at the very least. Perhaps even ancestor Ling himself won’t really care about his death. The only difference is that Chen Shuzhi reached Immortal Monarch, which allowed him to stand out among the mixed-blood descendants. However, he was propelled to Immortal Monarch at the cost of a tremendous amount of resources from the mixed-blood branch. Early Immortal Monarch is already his limit, so he shouldn’t receive too much attention.”

“On the other hand, while Xiang Shi is also a part of the mixed-blood branch, he’s still a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor after all. Now that he’s been restrained by the Immortal Devouring Orchid of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, should we go and save him or not?”

When they mentioned Xiang Shi, the great elders all sank into their thoughts. Shortly afterwards, one of them said, “Xiang Shi is different from Chen Shuzhi. Let’s leave it to the mixed-blood branch to deal with him. It would be best if all of the Immortal Emperors from the mixed-blood branch go to save him and all perish. That way, our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants would be a little cleaner.”
