Chapter 3548: The Young Ancestor

Chapter 3548: The Young Ancestor

With that, two Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors and a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor had all perished.

Killing three Immortal Emperors had already become far too ordinary to Jian Chen, but when elder Nong and Chen Shifang saw this, all they felt was shock.

At the same time, they felt a deep sense of disbelief.

In particular, elder Nong’s eyes had widened so far that his eyeballs seemed like they were about to fall out.

In the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Jian Chen needed to clasp his fist and bow when he faced elder Nong and Chen Shuzhi.

But at this moment, he had suddenly displayed such terrifying strength.

Were they really the same people?

In the air, Jian Chen reached out casually. With a pulse of the Laws of Space, the three Space Rings ended up in his hand.

They were the belongings of the three old women.

Apart from the Space Rings, even their medium quality god arifacts had all ended up in Jian Chen’s hand.

After stowing away the spoils of the battle, Jian Chen appeared before elder Nong with a flash.

Elder Nong stared straight at Jian Chen as if he was trying to determine whether the person before him was the young sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens or someone else.

Meanwhile, Chen Shifang stood politely. His eyes were filled with undisguised respect.

“Elder Nong, are you injured?” Jian Chen clasped his fist at elder Nong and asked in concern.

Elder Nong seemed to finally confirm his identity with that question. For a moment, elder Nong’s expression became extremely mixed as if he was filled with a multitude of emotions.

“Jian Chen, who are you exactly? Are you trying to protect the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, or do you have some other motive by bending down and becoming the young sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with your strength?” elder Nong asked sternly. Jian Chen had saved the two of them, but elder Nong was unable to cheer up at all.

Jian Chen did not say anything. He used the Laws of Space to recover the twenty small jade swords scattered in the surroundings and the stone golem. After passing them back to elder Nong, he swung his hand and vanished from there with elder Nong and Chen Shifang through the Laws of Space.

Jian Chen, elder Nong, and Chen Shifang silently appeared in a mountain range far away from the battlefield. In such a short moment, Jian Chen had already crossed tens of millions of kilometres with the two of them.

“Experts will come and investigate the place where we fought before long, so we can’t stay there. As for my identity and my motives for joining the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, you have nothing to worry about, elder Nong,” Jian Chen said calmly. He set up a spatial barrier in the surroundings to isolate elder Nong and Chen Shifang before using the Divine Armour of Heavenflight to erase his presence.

After doing all that, a violet and azure light suddenly surged forth from Jian Chen’s body, shining gorgeously.

The twin swords had already appeared by his side, hovering to his left and right.

As the twin swords had been reforged, their appearance was no longer the same as before. However, the power and presence unique to them had not changed at all.

The true reason for the twin swords’ strength was the sword spirits!

As long as the sword spirits were still the same sword spirits, it would remain the same no matter how it changed.

“Elder Nong, do you recognise them?” Jian Chen looked at him.

As soon as the twin swords appeared, elder Nong became stunned. He stared blankly at the twin swords that hovered beside Jian Chen. His thoughts seemed to come to a halt.

Only Jian Chen and elder Nong resided in the spatial barrier. Chen Shifang stood alone outside, unable to sense anything happening inside.

Jian Chen did not say anything inside the barrier, while elder Nong was blank as well. It seemed as if he had been deeply impacted, struggling to recover.

A good while later, elder Nong began to shed turbid tears. His entire body shook gently as he said with a trembling voice, “T-t-this is the sect’s legendary twin swords. The twin swords. It actually really is the twin swords. T-t-they’ve appeared… they’ve finally appeared…”

For a moment, elder Nong’s voice turned to sobs as tears poured down his cheeks. He was extremely emotional.

“That’s right. They are the twin swords. I’ve become their new master now!” Jian Chen glanced past the twin swords. He felt quite speechless.

Suddenly, elder Nong dropped onto his knees and pressed his forehead against the ground. He said excitedly with a trembling voice, “Greetings from disciple Nong Fugui to the young ancestor. Greetings, young ancestor. Greetings, young ancestor…”

Elder Nong called out again and again. He could not be any more emotional.

“Please get up quickly, elder Nong. You’re a senior member of the sect. How can you bow to me like this?” Jian Chen helped elder Nong get up in a hurry.

Elder Nong stood up slowly. From that moment onwards, he no longer had any doubts about Jian Chen’s identity, as the twin swords were enough to prove everything.

However, after learning about Jian Chen’s identity, his gaze towards him was filled with a deep sense of respect.

This was not just due to Jian Chen’s strength. Most importantly, Jian Chen had been chosen by the twin swords that he wielded. He was the undisputed young ancestor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

“Elder Nong, I still need to keep my true identity hidden, so please treat me the same way as you did in the past. Please don’t give anything away, as there are many gazes from various mysterious organisations in the sect right now,” Jian Chen told elder Nong cautiously.

“As you wish, young ancestor!” elder Nong said politely as he bowed deeply towards Jian Chen.

“It’s best if you take a look at the contents of this memory crystal, elder Nong.” Jian Chen waved his hand and tossed a memory crystal over to him.

A while later, elder Nong’s expression became very ugly after viewing the memory crystal.

“Never did I think that Chen Shuzhi is actually from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, and the three Immortal Emperors were actually hired by them.” Elder Nong ground his teeth.

“Let’s deal with Chen Shuzhi first once we go back. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens needs some proper tidying up now.” Jian Chen sighed gently.

Before long, the spatial barrier vanished, and Chen Shifang appeared before elder Nong again.

By now, elder Nong had already calmed down. It seemed as if he had forgotten Jian Chen’s identity as the young ancestor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

“Chen Shifang, when we return to the sect, you’re a senior of the sect, while I am just a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal young sect master. Do you understand?” Jian Chen said to Chen Shifang.

“Please don’t worry, young sect master. I know what to do. I definitely won’t give away anything and raise suspicion.” Chen Shifang was a clever man. He immediately understood Jian Chen and promised him.

Afterwards, Jian Chen gave instructions to them about places where he needed their cooperation. After handing everything over, he set off for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with Chen Shifang and elder Nong.
