Chapter 3799: Memory Crystal

“Senior Warring wants to know where the Fiend Soul Banner came from, right?” Jian Chen asked.

“That’s right!” The Warring Old Freak stood with his arms crossed. He had never stopped studying Jian Chen. The presence of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt that radiated from him put Jian Chen under constant pressure.

“I’ll be honest. The Space-purging Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment died by my hands. The Fiend Soul Banner was left behind by the Space-purging Ancestor,” said Jian Chen.

When he heard that, the Warring Old Freak’s eyes erupted with light. He stared at Jian Chen for quite a while before he slowly said, “I’ve already noticed from the traces at the site that Space-purging died to a supreme formation, but I never thought that you would be the person behind it all.”

“However, I also discovered traces of demon Qi where the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master went missing. How are you going to prove that this demonic expert is not connected to the Fiend Soul Banner?”

“And how are you going to prove that the Fiend Soul Banner belonged to Space-purging?”

“Please take a look at this, senior!” Faced with the Warring Old Freak’s questioning, Jian Chen did not try to explain himself. He directly tossed over a memory crystal.

The Warring Old Freak accepted the memory crystal and looked inside. He found the same ancient mountain range. Immediately, he recognised it to be the place where the Space-purging Ancestor died.

Standing right before him was the Space-purging Ancestor in his white clothes.

With the Warring Old Freak’s experience, he could tell with a single glance that the contents of the memory crystal were not faked.

The scene presented inside was right before the Space-purging Ancestor perished.

“The Transcension Ancestor of the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment is secretly controlling some clans and organisations to commit heinous deeds, which has led to the deaths of numerous innocent cultivators. His objective is only to collect some materials to forge some kind of demonic object...”

“As another ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, are you aware of this matter, Space-purging Ancestor...”

......

...

“I originally thought it was just the Transcension Ancestor, and it had nothing to do with the two other ancestors of your Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. But as it seems now, I’ve been too naive. Perhaps all three ancestors of your Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment are in on this...”

“That’s different. The Saints’ World is the mutual enemy of both the Immortals’ World and the Demons’ World. That can only be described as joining hands against the enemy. However, you have worked with an expert of the Demons’ World to kill people of the Immortals’ World. That is inappropriate,” the Warring Old Freak said chillingly.

“In other words, you plan on punishing me, senior?” Jian Chen’s face sank slightly.

“In consideration of the fact that you made the Fiend Soul Banner known to the public, you’ve made up for this already, so I won’t pursue the matter of you working with a demonic expert to kill Immortal Exalts of our Hall Brilliance Heaven. However, you have to tell me who the demonic expert is.”

“If he stirs up trouble elsewhere, I can turn a blind eye to it. After all, my abilities are limited. I can’t afford to stick my nose in so many matters. However, since the people of the Hall Brilliance Heaven call me the greatest expert and view me as their guardian, how can I just stand by?” The Warring Old Freak was unfazed.

“It seems that senior Warring is prepared to deal with the demonic expert?” The respect on Jian Chen’s face had already vanished. He stared back at the Warring Old Freak fearlessly and said firmly, “Do not forget, senior Warring. If it were not for this demonic expert, the fact that the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment was forging Fiend Soul Banners would not have been divulged so quickly.”

“Don’t tell me senior Warring only cares about the fact that this demonic expert killed two Immortal Exalts of the Hall Brilliance Heaven and is completely ignoring his contributions with the Fiend Soul Banner?”

“You want to cover for this demonic expert?” the Warring Old Freak said calmly.

“The demonic expert is my subordinate. His matters are my matters. If someone goes after him, they’re also going after me,” Jian Chen said firmly. Even when he faced the greatest expert of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, the Warring Old Freak, he was not deterred.

“It is rare for an Immortal Emperor to remain so composed before me. However, have you considered the consequences of offending me? I know you have the capability to kill the Space-purging Ancestor, but those methods won’t work against me,” said the Warring Old Freak.

“Senior Warring, I have no grievances with your War sect. Must you make an enemy for your sect over this matter?” Jian Chen’s tone gradually turned cold.

“Hahahaha, perfect timing. I also wanted to ask you if you wanted to make an enemy out of me, out of the War sect, for a demonic cultivator?” The Warring Old Freak sneered.

“I even have the courage to kill a great elder from the Immortal Feather sect of the twelve courts of heaven, so why would I fear your War sect? Don’t tell me your War sect can rival the courts of heaven?” Jian Chen said coldly.

“What did you say?” The Warring Old Freak widened his eyes and stared straight at Jian Chen. He said in doubt, “You said you killed a great elder of the Immortal Feather sect?”

“Don’t tell me you’re the person that the Immortal Feather sect placed a bounty on?”

The Warring Old Freak’s expression changed slightly. His gaze towards Jian Chen was now filled with surprise and uncertainty.
