Chapter 3555: People From the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants
Listening to Xiang Shi’s furious roars, elder Nong and Chen Shifang were both stern. The deterrence from a Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ great elder was far greater than any other Immortal Emperor to the two of them.
They could not help but look at Jian Chen. Both of their faces had a hint of worry as if they were afraid that Jian Chen would also execute Xiang Shi.
After all, Xiang Shi was different from Chen Shuzhi. Even if his identity as an Immortal Emperor was ignored, he was still a formally-recognised great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
As for Chen Shuzhi, who did not know that he was the former sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?
As a result, even when both Chen Shuzhi and Xiang Shi belonged to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, there was still an intrinsic difference between executing Chen Shuzhi and Xiang Shi.
“Do you think you can scare us just by mentioning the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants? That’s right, it is a little inconvenient to execute you with your status as a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, but just because it’s inconvenient now doesn’t mean it’ll be inconvenient in the future,” Jian Chen said without any fear.
“Hahaha, if you’re afraid, then you’re afraid. Why even talk about the future? If you’re afraid now, you’ll be even more afraid in the future.” Xiang Shi completely relaxed inside, but he smiled madly and said, “Since you’re afraid of killing me, why don’t you hurry up and release me? You have to understand that even if you haven’t harmed me, humiliating a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants like this is still an extremely severe act of provocation to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
“A colossal existence like the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has always been extremely protective of its dignity. Once the sect’s dignity is severely challenged, that’s equivalent to declaring war against the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
“You sure are naive if you think we’ll let you go. I did say we wouldn’t kill you for now, but that doesn’t mean we’ll let you go.” Jian Chen sneered.
Xiang Shi was taken aback when he heard that, but before he could respond, Jian Chen turned towards elder Nong and said, “Elder Nong, please ask senior daemon flower to swallow this person and keep him restrained.”
“As you wish, sect master!” Elder Nong did not hesitate at all, immediately passing the message onto the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
With that, the Immortal Devouring Orchid swallowed Xiang Shi in a single gulp.
“What? The sect master was actually a spy?”
“How’s that possible? The sect master of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was actually planted here by organisations with ulterior motives, and his true objective was to lead the sect to destruction?”
“I never thought of this. In the past, I always thought the sect master was considering the bigger picture, constantly making compromises under the threats of external sects. I even thought that his actions were in consideration of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but I never thought that he actually had other plans.”
“I always found the matter with the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder to be fishy. I never thought there would actually be something wrong with the sect master.”
......
…
Afterwards, Chen Shuzhi’s crimes spread furiously through the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, immediately leading to a great uproar and leaving many disciples stunned.
All the disciples also learnt about how the young sect master, Jian Chen, had become the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
But compared to the sect master’s betrayal, this clearly was not as fascinating.
On the next day, many disciples had already clustered around the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, forming a great wall. The disciples on the ground all stood on the tips of their toes, while the disciples in the skies hovered right beneath the feet of other disciples. At this moment, all of the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, over a hundred thousand of them, had gathered.
Despite all these people present, it was extraordinarily quiet. No one said anything. They all remained silent, staring at the figure kneeling on the ground on the main peak.
Everyone was familiar with the figure. He was the previous sect master, Chen Shuzhi.
His cultivation had been completely sealed up, and he was tied up by a dazzling golden rope.
Jian Chen, elder Nong, and Chen Shifang stood emotionlessly before Chen Shuzhi. Behind the three of them were several dozen core disciples.
At this moment, many people could see various mixed emotions in Chen Shuzhi’s eyes.
He was the mighty master of a sect, an authoritative figure who had been in control for many years. On top of that, he was an Immortal Monarch, but today, he would be executed before everyone in the sect. It was truly a speechless sight.
“In the past, he was the same as us, an auxiliary of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, yet now, he’s actually become the sect master.” Elsewhere, the group of auxiliaries that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens recruited gathered together as well. A woman in black sighed with mixed emotions among them.
She was Jing Yao from the Black Demon Palace of the Taiji Heaven.
Jiang Nan stood with his arms crossed beside her. His gaze was deep. “The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is involved in many matters of immeasurable depth, such that even our Jiang family refuses to become involved. Now that Jian Chen has become the sect master, all of the karma regarding the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will obviously fall onto his shoulders. I just wonder whether his secret master can deal with all of this or not.”
“Fellow Jiang Nan, do you think the organisation behind Jian Chen is stronger or weaker than your Jiang family of the Polar Jade Heaven?” an auxiliary asked from one side.
“I don’t know. In my view, our Jiang family is already extremely powerful. After all, the current city lord of the Observance Heaven City is an ancestor of our Jiang family.” When he mentioned that, Jiang Nan could not help but show a hint of pride.
At this moment, elder Nong’s elderly voice rang out from the main peak. Before all of the disciples, he began to announce Chen Shuzhi’s various misdeeds and the crimes that he had committed.
In the end, elder Nong declared a death sentence for Chen Shuzhi.
“Chen Shifang, carry out the execution!” Jian Chen called out.
“Yes, sect master!” With a step, Chen Shifang arrived before Chen Shuzhi.
“Stop!”
At this moment, a booming voice rang out from above the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The terrifying sound wave left the mountains shaking. Many disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens fell out of the air.
A bronze carriage sped over from outside the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, leaving behind a resplendent trail of colour in the air.
Four elderly men followed the carriage closely. They all radiated with the presence of Immortal Monarchs.
Very soon, the carriage entered the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
The carriage was engraved with an extremely striking symbol. It was a colossal elephant that gave off an indomitable presence.
Regular disciples did not understand the meaning of the colossal elephant, but when the auxiliaries and Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal core disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens saw it, their expressions all changed drastically.
The colossal elephant represented the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants!
A colossal existence on the Reverent Observance Heaven!
“The great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, Xiang Yangtian, has graced you with his presence. Those in charge of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, what are you waiting for? Come and receive the great elder!” one of the Immortal Monarch old men around the carriage called out.
With the arrival of a great elder from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was immediately thrown into an uproar.
“I am the current sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Greetings, seniors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants!” Jian Chen continued to stand on the main peak below. He raised his head slightly to look at the bronze carriage in the air, clasping his fist without coming off as too rude or submissive.
Chen Shuzhi, elder Nong, and the core disciples behind them all clasped their fists and bowed as well.
However, apart from Jian Chen, basically everyone present was unsettled, filled with unease.
“There’s no need to be polite, fellows of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.” A slightly feminine voice rang out from the carriage. The voice was calm and even slightly polite, but it gave off a sense of coldness like a vicious beast.
“I haven’t come without reason today. I’ve come all the way to your sect because I want someone from your esteemed sect.” Xiang Yangtian’s voice rang out from the carriage.
Elder Nong, Chen Shifang, and the core disciples’ hearts immediately sank.
“I didn’t expect that our puny Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would actually have someone that would interest the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Who is it that you want, senior?” Jian Chen asked calmly and with composure.
“He is Chen Shuzhi. I hope your esteemed sect can hand him over to me!” Xiang Yangtian said.
