C.3471: Revenge
As soon as the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals said that, the expressions of the seven great elders standing behind him changed. Over half of them glanced towards him in shock.
Lin Sui was a great elder of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. He possessed great authority and status, yet he had been expelled so easily?
As for Lin Sui himself, his heart skipped a beat. He felt like his heart had shattered. He was ashen.
“Ancestor, i-isn’t this punishment a little severe? With all the years Lin Sui has been with the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals, even if he hasn’t contributed anything meritorious, it’s still all been hard work. Even if he made a mistake greater than this, he shouldn’t be expelled from the sect-”
A great elder tried to plead for mercy for Lin Sui, but before he could even finish what he was saying, he was bluntly interrupted by the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. “Be quiet. There is absolutely no chance that Lin Sui will be forgiven for his mistakes.”
The ancestor glanced at the seven great elders sharply and said, “If anyone still dares to plead for mercy for Lin Sui, they can leave with him.”
With that, the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals vanished. Only a voice echoed out in the space there, “Sir, I don’t know who you are, nor do I want to know who you are. I only have something very clear to tell you. I expelled Lin Sui not because of you, but because Lin Sui did indeed do something unforgivable.”
“The strength of our Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals is indeed nothing compared to the thirty- three heavens of the Immortals’ World, but we still can’t be threatened by any random person.”
The ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals clearly directed that towards Jian Chen. His voice was filled with contempt towards all Immortal Emperors.
The meaning behind his words was that Immortal Exalts could threaten the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals, but if they were only Immortal Emperors, they would only make a fool out of themselves and bite off more than they could chew.
Jian Chen smiled faintly. It was true. If he were a regular Immortal Emperor, even if he was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor with the ability to challenge those stronger than him, he could only pose a certain level of threat to First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts.
If it were a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt instead, then the tremendous difference would be extremely difficult to make up for.
However, the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals did not understand Jian Chen’s strength. With his current abilities, perhaps he could not kill a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, but even a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt could not kill him thanks to the Source of Life, let alone one at the Second Heavenly Layer.
However, the Source of Life was a sovereign god artifact that belonged to the Saints’ World after all. He could not expose it unless he had no other choice.
Suddenly, a cloud of blood erupted in front of Jian Chen. Lin Sui used a secret technique without any hesitation, damaging himself in exchange for terrifying speed well beyond what he was normally capable of, immediately escaping from the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals.
He understood the current situation immediately. The Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals was unable to protect him. Under such circumstances, he possessed absolutely no chance at victory if he faced Jian Chen who was no weaker than him and a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Devouring Orchid.
As a result, as soon as the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals left, he fled without any hesitation.
In an instant, Lin Sui had vanished into the horizon, appearing tens of million kilometres away.
Immortal Emperors could traverse worlds with each step even when they travelled normally, let alone when he used a fleeing secret technique. His speed was obviously startling.
Jian Chen gazed in the direction that Lin Sui fled in. He sneered gently. In the next moment, he suddenly vanished.
“That’s… the Laws of Space. Lin Sui truly is in trouble now.” The seven great elders of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals recognised Jian Chen’s Laws of Space immediately. Their faces all became filled with grief.
Lin Sui turned into a ball of blood-red light on the Grand Sovereign Heaven, shooting off into the distance with extremely terrifying speed. The landscape beneath him had already turned to chaos because he was far too fast. Everything blurred.
Under his terrifying speed, he had already crossed through several immortal regions in merely five seconds, appearing billions of kilometres away.
His face had already become sheet-white. In that short moment, he had already ignited almost half of his essence blood. He became extremely feeble.
In exchange for terrifying speed, he had paid quite a hefty price.
Afterwards, he rapidly erased his presence, doing his best to hide himself. Then he changed directions, planning to hide away.
But at this moment, Lin Sui shuddered and came to a forceful halt. He stared ahead in fright.
Jian Chen hovered in the air with his arms crossed right in front of him. He was very calm as if he had spent much time waiting there already.
“After killing several thousand disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, I’ll have you buried with the deceased disciples,” Jian Chen said coldly. In the next moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid appeared and swallowed Lin Sui in a single gulp.
In the next moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid spat out a Space Ring and passed it over to Jian Chen like it was treasure.
With the Space Ring, Jian Chen entered Immortal Emperor Taihang’s divine hall. He placed Immortal Emperor Lin Sui, the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds, the Immortal Emperor of Luofu, and the Immortal Emperor of Yuqing’s Space Rings before the remains and murmured, “Immortal Emperor Taihang and my seniors of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, I’ve already avenged you. I’ll use their personal items to comfort your resting souls.”
......
…
Not only did the incident in the Grand Sovereign Heaven let Jian Chen accidentally discover the mausoleum of a great elder from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but it also allowed him to accumulate extremely bountiful wealth in the Immortals’ World.
He obtained all the resources that the Immortal Sect of White Clouds, the Immortal Sect of Luofu, and the Immortal Sect of Yuqing had built up over several hundred thousand years. Afterwards, he visited the Sword Sect of Flowing Light, the Immortal Sect of Great Peace, and the Immortal Sect of Heaven’s Union and basically took most of their resources as well.
When he first arrived on the Grand Sovereign Heaven, Jian Chen only possessed resources he had brought with him from the Saints’ World, which he could not expose in the Immortals’ World any time soon. He was penniless. It was no exaggeration to call him destitute.
But right now, after gathering the resources from several Immortal Emperor level organisations, he was definitely wealthy.
Jian Chen was not in a hurry to leave the Grand Sovereign Heaven. Even though he knew the current state of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was not very optimistic and he was even overcome by the urge to rush back to the sect, he had something more important that he had not dealt with.
That was to completely change his presence.
When he first reached the Immortals’ World, his body was filled with the presence of the Saints’ World due to the unique origin energy from there.
If he were in the Saints’ World, that was obviously normal, but the nature of energy in the Immortals’ World was very different. If his identity as someone from the Saints’ World was exposed, he would struggle to move around freely in the Immortals’ World. He would even be hunted down by countless experts from across the entire world.
Even though he could use the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race to disguise himself, he obviously could not wager everything on it for something so important.
