Chapter 3769: The City Lord Returns

“Clear the battlefield of traces before returning to the Primeval Divine Hall. It’s still inappropriate for you to be exposed right now,” Jian Chen said to the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

“Hehehehe, after killing these two Immortal Exalts, I’ve recovered quite a bit. I just happen to be in need of some time to digest them.” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was in a great mood. The churning black mist suddenly condensed together, turning into a huge figure several metres tall.

Shortly afterwards, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid got to work together. They began removing the traces of battle from the surroundings.

As a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, it was very difficult for the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt to erase all the traces flawlessly, but he could prevent them from being discovered by the abilities and secret techniques of most Immortal Exalts at least.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid was responsible for cleaning up the remains and traces of blood. Its method was very simple. Regardless of what it was, as long as it left behind a trace, the orchid devoured it all.

As a result, under the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s efforts, many of the mountains in the surroundings went missing.

The entire time, Jian Chen enveloped the surroundings with a spatial barrier.

The purpose of the spatial barrier was not to stop Immortal Exalts from checking what was happening here. In reality, with his current level of the Laws of Space, even if he set up a spatial barrier with all of his strength, it would basically be non-existent before the senses of the souls of Immortal Exalts.

The primary purpose of the barrier was to block them from Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s view.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

However, in around half a minute, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid had cleaned up the battlefield. Afterwards, a spatial gate silently appeared. Through the spatial gate, they returned to the Primeval Divine Hall.

At this moment, the lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, hovered outside the barrier. He waited there anxiously.

In reality, he had already developed an impervious mental fortitude given his cultivation, but he struggled to maintain his composure currently. He was extremely worried about this battle ending in defeat.

That was because this battle directly impacted the lives of his sworn friends, as well as the Immortal Rising City that he had built up over tens of thousand years through tremendous effort.

“I just wonder how powerful the helper that Yang Yutian invited is. Can they easily take out the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu paced around outside the obscuring formation. When he glanced past the obscuring formation before him, there had been several times when he felt the urge to check what was going on inside with the senses of his soul.

However, upon considering Jian Chen’s request, he could only suppress this urge time and time again.

“There doesn’t seem to be any disturbances inside. Looks like they still haven’t begun fighting,” thought Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. Just the side effects of battles between Immortal Exalts was devastating. Once an intense clash began, the obscuring formation he cast down would be completely useless.

As a result, he could tell whether they had begun fighting or not inside through the formation.

“Hmph, the grievances between our Void-perceiving sect and the Immortal Rising City will finally come to an end. I’ve already waited for far too long for this day.”

“Keep an eye out, everyone. Don’t let anyone slip away from the Immortal Rising City. Once the formation falls, I’ll make the eight clans bleed and use all of their lives to honour my son’s spirit in heaven.”

The Immortal Monarchs and the Immortal Emperors all had eyes shining with cold killing intent, filled with bone-deep hatred.

Jian Chen sat in the air on the side, studying the Energy-devouring Furnace.

He had equipped the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and was hidden in space completely. Let alone Immortal Emperors, even some Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts would not necessarily be able to detect him.

“This god artifact is not bad. If I come across any formations that I can’t destroy, using the furnace to devour the formation’s energy will be even faster than several early Immortal Exalts attacking it together.”

“And, the furnace doesn’t seem to be at its limit. If it erupted with its full strength, it should devour the formation’s energy at least twice as quickly.”

“Moreover, the energy devoured by the furnace doesn’t completely dissipate into the surroundings. Instead, it’s all compressed into pure energy crystals and stored in the space inside the furnace.”

Jian Chen looked at the Energy-devouring Furnace with some interest.

At this moment, Jian Chen sensed something. He immediately drifted away, leaving the people from the Void-perceiving sect.

In the next moment, a powerful strand of sword Qi descended from above with the pressure of an Immortal Exalt, immediately splitting an Immortal Emperor in half from head to toe.

The city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, had already arrived above the experts from the Void-perceiving sect.

Despite being injured, he was still a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt after all. It was a piece of cake for him to deal with a group of Immortal Emperors.

The sudden incident immediately made the expressions of the experts of the Void-perceiving sect change drastically. Subconsciously, they raised their heads as they powered the Energy-devouring Furnace.

“Oh no, it’s the city lord of the Immortal Rising City.”

“Dammit, it’s Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. Why did he suddenly return? Where is our ancestor? Where is our ancestor?”

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s appearance immediately made the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors from the Void-perceiving sect panic. They all became frantic.
