Chapter 3501: Killed Instantly
Chapter 3501: Killed Instantly
“Why do you want to join my Sword Sect of Violet Heavens? I’m sure you’ve seen the circumstances of my sect already.” Chen Shuzhi stared at Jian Chen with shining eyes.
“The reason is very simple. It’s because my master has extremely deep connections with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, and the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is in trouble right now. As his disciple, I obviously must stand forward,” Jian Chen said with composure.
“Has your master ever told you to never interfere with the matters of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and to never join the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?” Lang Qi from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder said sternly. He constantly glanced around Jian Chen as if he was trying to find any clues about his origins.
“Fellow Jian Chen, stop being a fool. It’s best if we don’t directly interfere with the matters of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. What are you waiting for? Get down here. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is in very deep waters, such that even the seniors of our Jiang family try to avoid it,” Jiang Nan communicated with Jian Chen secretly.
“Jian Chen, I know you’re powerful, but you really can’t afford to become too involved with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, much less directly join them. That’s because all disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with a certain level of talent won’t be able to live for long.”
Following Jiang Nan, a cool voice rang out in Jian Chen’s ear. It was a woman’s voice that he knew. She was the woman in black who directly sought to see the sect master as soon as she joined the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
Her name was Jing Yao. She came from the Black Demon Palace of the Taiji Heaven.
Apart from them, many of the other auxiliaries tried to persuade Jian Chen as well. They clearly described the downsides involved.
However, Jian Chen was unshaken.
“And who is your master?” Chen Shuzhi hovering in the air stared straight at Jian Chen. His indifferent gaze seemed like he wanted to see Jian Chen inside and out.
“It’s still inconvenient for me to divulge my master’s name!” Jian Chen said.
Chen Shuzhi fell quiet. His eyes shone as he thought of something.
Lang Qi’s face became extremely sunken. He had actually been ignored by a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal junior in front of so many people, which he found rather insulting.
However, since Jian Chen had a mysterious master, he also feared his background slightly. As a result, even though he had been infuriated by his rudeness, he did not possess the courage to do anything.
“Our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens does not accept any Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal disciples or any disciples with any kind of background. This is a rule that our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has followed for several tens of thousand years already.” Finally, Chen Shuzhi spoke up after a good moment of silence, denying Jian Chen without any expression.
Jian Chen was unsurprised. He stared straight at Chen Shuzhi and said sternly, “If you don’t let me join the secret, I won’t be able to participate in this match as a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. If I can’t do anything, then how will your disciples win this match?”
“Have you ever considered what kind of situation the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will face if you lose this contest? You’ll have to migrate out of the Sword Region of Violet Heavens. But once you leave the Sword Region of Violet Heavens, where will you go? Will you seize territory from other organisations? Or will you depend on others and become a subsidiary?” Jian Chen spoke firmly.
After visualising the future of the sect, all of the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens became heavy-hearted. They felt like the future was grim.
Chen Shuzhi’s face became rather sunken. He stared at Jian Chen coldly, “This is a matter of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. We don’t need auxiliaries like you telling us how we should handle our internal affairs.”
“And even if I let you join our sect and let you win this match, such that you buy us a century of time, what will happen after a hundred years?”
“Without the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain, even if we have an additional century, it won’t change the final outcome. After all, the Immortal Emperor ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes is breaking through. It’s perfectly normal if his secluded cultivation lasts tens of thousand years or even hundreds of thousand years. As long as he does not break through, our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will not be able to use the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain.”
“An additional century is obviously better than nothing. Perhaps the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes only needs a few years to break through successfully? What do you think, elder Nong?” Jian Chen smiled mysteriously.
Elder Nong considered Jian Chen’s suggestion seriously and nodded slowly. “No one knows when the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes will break through. Perhaps it might take several tens of thousand years or it might take several thousand years. Of course, it’s also possible that it’ll only take a few years.”
Elder Nong suddenly looked towards Chen Shuzhi. He said solemnly, “Sect master, auxiliary Jian Chen is right. If we have another century and we get lucky, we really might be able to make it through. We can try and let Jian Chen fight!”
“Sect master, please let auxiliary Jian Chen join the sect. All we can do now is hope that auxiliary Jian Chen can bring us a miracle.”
“Sect master, I suggest accepting auxiliary Jian Chen into the sect as a core disciple.”
“Sect master, fellow Jian Chen has already become our only hope now. We definitely can’t just watch as this bit of hope slips through our fingers.”
“Let’s buy a hundred years of time for now. As for what happens after a hundred years, we’ll see then. Perhaps the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes will successfully break through in just a few years.”
After elder Nong voiced his opinion, the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens below immediately erupted. At first, it was the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal core disciples, followed by the Xuan Immortal disciples. They all called out emotionally.
This time, many of the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens looked at Jian Chen in a different way. It was filled with the light of placing their hopes in him.
It was as if Jian Chen had become the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ only source of hope at this moment.
Chen Shuzhi continued to hover in the air without any particular emotion. He slowly glanced past the emotional disciples beneath him before letting out a gentle sigh. “Alright then. Since all the disciples have suggested this, I’ll make an exception and agree to induct Jian Chen into the sect as a core disciple.”
Chen Shuzhi looked at Jian Chen deeply and said, “Jian Chen, you will now be representing the sect in this battle. Once this comes to an end, we’ll hold an induction ceremony for you!”
“Thank you, sect master!” Jian Chen cupped his fist before looking towards Lang Qi. “Disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Jian Chen, formally challenges the disciple of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder!”
Lang Qi’s expression became extremely ugly. He glanced at Jian Chen viciously and said coldly, “Jian Chen, is it? There will be a day when you pay a horrific price for your foolishness today.”
Lang Qi waved his hand. The barrier rose up around the ring, isolating the two competing disciples from the rest of the world.
In the ring, the disciple of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, Yao Yang, smiled viciously. He radiated with killing intent as he said coldly, “Jian Chen, weren’t you satisfied with being an auxiliary? You just had to come and die. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let you leave here alive. In the ring, I will personally tear-”
As soon as he said “tear”, the tremendous might of the world suddenly descended. Jian Chen had already used a God Tier Battle Skill in an extremely short amount of time with the supreme quality immortal artifact in his hand.
Yao Yang’s face changed drastically. He forcefully choked back his words and pulled out a God Tier sword hurriedly to fend off the attack, but it was already too late.
Jian Chen’s God Tier Battle Skill arrived as a colossal streak of light, shooting past Yao Yang’s neck instantly.
Spurt!
Blood sprayed into the air. Yao Yang’s head had already been flung up. The powerful sword Qi immediately destroyed his soul, killing him on the spot.
