Chapter 3497: The Sword Sect of Startling Thunder (2)

“That time, the youngest son of the sect master of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder almost succeeded. Fortunately, Zi Yixin ignited part of her soul in the very end to obtain part of her cultivation again. Afterwards, when she struck back, she accidentally killed the youngest son of the sect master of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder.”

“Zi Yixin was a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, while the youngest son of the sect master of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder had only just reached Golden Immortal. Overcome with rage, Zi Yixin failed to control her strength and accidentally killed him, which was perfectly normal.”

“Because of this, the sect master of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder flew into a rage. Even when our sect master immediately expelled Zi Yixin, he was unable to quell their rage. During that time, a large group of experts from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder arrived at our entrance to pressure us, acting as if they were ready to destroy the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens without any regard. Under the pressure, our sect master was forced to sign an unfair contract with the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder.”

“The details of the contract were that every century, our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had to hand a Seven-coloured Sword Lotus over to the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. If we could not do that, then our entire sect would have to move away from the Sword Region of Violet Heavens, never to establish ourselves inside the Sword Region of Violet Heavens again.” As soon as he thought of that, Jin Sang’s face immediately darkened.

“What? You have to move? And out of the Sword Region of Violet Heavens? How could the sect master agree to these terms?” Jian Chen was astounded. He immediately stood up from the ground.

Jin Sang sighed. “Moving the sect was not actually a suggestion from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. Instead, it was a decision that the sect master made himself. In the end, as soon as the sect master made that decision, the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder added two more terms, which was that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had to leave the Sword Region of Violet Heavens and that they could never establish their sect in the Sword Region of Violet Heavens again.”

After hearing that, Jian Chen frowned deeply. He stood there in silence.

As the youngest son of a sect master, how could there be no experts by his side protecting him? How could he not possess any life-preserving measures? He was just killed so easily by a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal?

In short, Jian Chen caught the scent of a scheme regarding this matter involving the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder.

This was definitely a scheme set up by the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder.

Before long, he left Jin Sang’s residence. As he returned to his place of cultivation, he did not choose to fly. Instead, he made his way along the tiny mountain path like a mortal as he closely analysed the information he had obtained from Jin Sang.

“The Energy-gathering Divine Mountain is the only high quality god aritfact that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has. It can gather spiritual Qi and holds great significance to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The Energy-gathering Divine Mountain is also inseparable from the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. As a result, abandoning where the sect stands is equivalent to abandoning the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain.”

“The sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens even managed to make a decision like that. Did he really run out of choices given the situation, or is the sect master a coward at heart? Does he lack the courage to face mutual destruction and risk his life for it all?”

“Or should I say he wanted to place himself and the sect in dire straits to squeeze out all of their talent and stage a comeback?”

Suddenly, Jian Chen’s eyes shone and immediately sharpened. He thought, “There’s one last possibility, which is that Chen Shuzhi has been intentionally making the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens decline.”

Thinking up to there, Jian Chen silently vanished from between the mountains, having returned to the wooden hut where he cultivated already.

Sitting in the wooden hut, Jian Chen merged his soul with the surroundings and began to peer around in an attempt to find any secrets from the world.

His target was the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Chen Shuzhi.

With his cultivation as an Immortal Emperor, if he really used his full strength to peer into a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch, he would not necessarily be able to find out about everything, but he would find some information at the very least.

If his target was even weaker, he could even peer into their past and future or even their past life.

This attempt took three whole days. After that, Jian Chen opened his eyes slowly. He was unsettled.

During these three days, he actually failed to find out anything regarding Chen Shuzhi. There was nothing at all.

It was as if a colossal power had enveloped Chen Shuzhi firmly, such that he was unable to breach the seal of this power and gaze into the secrets within even with his cultivation as an Immortal Emperor.

“There’s an expert behind Chen Shuzhi. It’s this expert who’s concealed everything for him, such that I can’t find anything at all. This expert is definitely stronger than me. Is it the Samsaric Immortal Exalt? No, it can’t be him. He swore to protect the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, such that the sect would not face destruction. That was his guarantee for the contributions that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had made in the past. As for concealing the heavenly secrets for Chen Shuzhi, he probably has better things to do than that.”

“As a result, it’s someone else behind Chen Shuzhi.”

“Chen Shuzhi isn’t as simple as he seems to be on the surface.”

Jian Chen’s eyes shone. Who knew what he was thinking.

In the next moment, the senses of his soul shot through the air and instantly enveloped the sect master, observing him secretly.

All he saw was Chen Shuzhi seated with his eyes shut in the low quality god artifact divine hall, without any response. It was impossible to see any emotion from his face. It seemed as if the pressure that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens currently faced did not affect him at all.

Jian Chen did not withdraw the senses of his soul. Instead, he left an extremely feeble strand hidden away carefully in the divine hall, observing him in secret.

Afterwards, everything in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was peaceful. Jian Chen did not show himself too many times, remaining in the wooden hut as an auxiliary the entire time to cultivate.

Several months later, most of the spiritual Qi drawn over by the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain had already been depleted. The disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens temporarily entered a phase of insufficient spiritual Qi, unable to cultivate.

They also temporarily shelved the plan to condense the Seven-coloured Sword Lotus.

Not only did condensing the Seven-coloured Sword Lotus require the sword intent of all the disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but it also required a tremendous amount of energy.

This energy could not be regular energy. It had to be converted through the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain, a special energy that bore a hint of sword intent.

In other words, if they were unable to power the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain, the Seven-coloured Sword Lotus was unable to emerge either.

Jian Chen stayed year after year in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but as the deadline of a century grew closer, the higher ranking disciples in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens became more heavy-hearted. As a matter of fact, many of the core disciples’ eyes had become hollow. They seemed as if they had lost their fighting spirit and hope, unable to see any future at all.

“There’s still half a year before the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder comes for the Seven-coloured Sword Lotus. I really don’t know what kind of consequences we’ll be facing if we can’t produce it.” On this day, Jin Sang also stood before his dwelling, scanning past the overlapping mountains in the distance. There was sorrow in his elderly eyes.

There were four organisations clustered around the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, which were the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes, the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, and the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset.

The four organisations all had Immortal Emperors.

The strength of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder was even greater than these four organisations.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. The hundred year agreement between the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder was up.

“They’re here!” At this moment, Jian Chen snapped open his eyes inside the wooden hut. He gazed through the weakly-functioning protective formation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and saw a hundred million kilometres away.

An immortal vessel glided through the clouds rapidly as it headed right towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
