Chapter 3540: Chen Shifang

The middle-aged man in black departed. He came silently and left elusively.

Of course, despite fooling everyone in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, he had failed to fool Jian Chen.

Jian Chen stood in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens and watched as the middle-aged man in black left. Killing intent immediately filled him.

To him, everyone who went after the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was an enemy, let alone the fact that the middle-aged man in black was trying to harm a senior member of the sect. That was even more unforgivable.

But very soon, Jian Chen’s killing intent vanished with the wind. He did not go after the middle-aged man in black, instead letting him leave.

“I’ll spare you for now. After all, if I kill you now, you won’t be able to make arrangements for your plan to go after elder Nong. Meanwhile, I just happen to be in need of a plan like that.”

“If you really manage to lure elder Nong away from the sect and he’s ambushed outside by powerful experts, it’ll only confirm the truth within the memory crystal.”

“And that Xiang Shan seems to be the daemon Immortal Emperor who met up with the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor in the past. That Immortal Emperor is a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. I never expected him to be Chen Shuzhi’s third great uncle.”

Thinking up to there, Jian Chen was very surprised. He never thought that a daemon Immortal Emperor he had casually killed back then actually had such a special connection to the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

“Xiang Shan was a daemon and Chen Shuzhi’s third great uncle. Meanwhile, despite also being one of Chen Shuzhi’s great uncles, the middle-aged man earlier seemed like a human.”

“Since they’re great uncles, there must be some connection by blood. The middle-aged man also divulged that he and Chen Shuzhi belonged to the same branch.”

“A daemon Immortal Emperor and a human Immortal Emperor are actually connected by blood? Don’t tell me they’re a product of the union of a human and a daemon?”

“In other words, Chen Shuzhi should be one of them as well, except his human characteristics are more obvious. As a result, no matter how human he seems, he’s still a daemon at the core.”

Jian Chen stood there with his arms crossed. His gaze towards Chen Shuzhi was rather cold. He sneered inside. “I never thought that the mighty sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would actually be from the Daemon race. On top of that, he is from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Chen Shuzhi, I’d like to see just who can still save you.”

Stowing the memory crystal away, Jian Chen silently left the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens before shedding the Divine Armour of Heavenflight. He continued to focus on the various miscellaneous matters in the sect.

After destroying the four organisations, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was up to their neck with matters regarding dividing the territory and allocating the resources. Quite a large uproar unfolded in the outside world as well because of them.

The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens that had once been suppressed had now suddenly risen up, destroying the four organisations in the surroundings in one fell stroke. Such unbelievable achievements shocked many organisations in the neighbouring immortal regions.

For a moment, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens became the centre of attention of many immortal regions.

But despite that, there were still no organisations that came to visit the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Even when the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens showed a great increase in strength and great prominence, many organisations still avoided them like the plague, refusing to get too close with them.

Many organisations and experts were all aware that the Immortal Sect of Sword Control, the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes, the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset, and the Immortal Sect of Three Yang only served as the outposts for the organisations that targeted the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

The organisations of true significance remained hidden in the shadows the entire time.

As a matter of fact, there were still some peak organisations that targeted the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens that had yet to show themselves, unknown to anybody.

Under elder Nong and the sect master’s orders, the core disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens who had been busy for several days now gathered in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. They held a meeting regarding the sect’s development.

During the meeting, everyone intensely discussed the allocation and management of various resources like the territory, the medicinal gardens, and the immortal crystal mines reclaimed from the four organisations.

Right as everyone was engrossed in the discussion, a Xuan Immortal disciple suddenly ran in and clasped his fist at Chen Shuzhi and elder Nong. “Sect master, elder, there’s an expert outside who says he has something extremely urgent. He wishes to meet with the sect master and elder Nong personally.”

When they heard that, Chen Shuzhi and elder Nong both narrowed their eyes slightly. Then Chen Shuzhi said, “Please let him in!”

Very soon, a young man in his twenties barged in, radiating with the presence of a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch.

When this person entered the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens, the seated Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal core disciples all felt their bodies sink. They immediately became stern.

“I am Yan Yun. Greetings, the two of you!” The Immortal Monarch young man clasped his fist at the sect master and Chen Shuzhi. He continued, “Time is tight, so I’ll cut right to the chase. I’ve come to visit to pass on a message for a friend.”

“My friend is called Chen Shifang, except he offended a few people for some reasons. These people are extremely powerful, which include Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarchs. Now, he’s been caught in the Observance Heaven city by his enemies. As fighting is forbidden there, Chen Shifang is temporarily safe.”

“However, the fees for staying in the Observance Heaven city are quite high for an Immortal Monarch. With the resources in Chen Shifang’s possession, he won’t be able to stay there for too long. Once he exhausts all the coloured immortal crystals on him and is expelled from the city against his will, he’ll be in danger.”

“As a result, I specially came to your sect to inform you about this under Chen Shifang’s request in hopes that the sect could assist him.”

“Alright. Since I’ve already delivered the message, it’s time for me to take my leave. I have some other places to go to so that I can try and think of any ways to gather coloured divine crystals for fellow Chen Shifang in hopes that he can remain in the Observance Heaven city for a little longer.”

“However, it’s not easy to gather coloured divine crystals, so I hope your sect can take action.”

After saying that, Yan Yun passed a jade slip over to Chen Shuzhi and elder Nong before leaving the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens without any hesitation.

Neither Chen Shuzhi nor elder Nong said anything during that time. They gazed at the jade slip quietly. The information in the jade slip was very simple. It was only a vivid image, as well as the presence of the person it was depicting.

“From the presence, he is indeed Chen Shifang…” Elder Nong let out a sigh of mixed emotions.

“I do seem to have some impression of Chen Shifang. He seems to be the last disciple with nine stars of talent we recruited over a hundred thousand years ago. Back then, Chen Shifang had been the brightest star in our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He cultivated at an extremely startling rate and was known as the greatest genius of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. But afterwards, when he was still a Xuan Immortal, he disappeared mysteriously when he was out for a mission. After that, there was no more news of him,” said Chen Shuzhi.
