C.3505: Lurking
For a moment, both Nong Fugui and Chen Shuzhi were stunned. The Immortal-destroying Thunder before their eyes could even injure Immortal Emperors?
If it were not for the fact that they clearly sensed a frightening presence from the Immortal-destroying Thunder, they definitely would not believe that Jian Chen was telling the truth.
However, as soon as they thought about how a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal junior actually possessed a weapon that could heavily injure Immortal Emperors, Nong Fugui and Chen Shuzhi shivered inside.
At this moment, they were no longer able to look at Jian Chen like a regular disciple.
“Jian Chen, the people from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder are gone now. You can tell me who your master is now. That way, all the disciples of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and I will be able to properly thank him,” Chen Shuzhi said slowly after a moment of silence. There was a hint of gladness in his expression. “Fortunately, we had you this time. If your master hadn’t sent you to our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens when it mattered the most, we probably would not have been able to survive this, forced to leave our homeland and relinquish our ancestral grounds.”
Chen Shuzhi’s voice was filled with a sense of gratitude.
Nong Fugui’s ears pricked up as well. He was also extremely curious about the mysterious master behind Jian Chen.
“I still can’t tell you my master’s name. However, when the time is right, the sect master and the elder will obviously learn about who my master is.” Jian Chen cupped his fist.
“Haha, it’s not a problem, it’s not a problem. Jian Chen, you have done tremendous work for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Quick, ingest this God Tier pill and recover your wounds. Oh right, Shuzhi, take Jian Chen to the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens and specially prepare a secret room for Jian Chen to recover in. Once Jian Chen recovers, we’ll specially hold an induction ceremony for him alone.” Nong Fugui looked towards Chen Shuzhi and smiled brightly. “What do you think, Shuzhi?”
“Of course! Of course!” Chen Shuzhi’s face also oozed with smiles as if he had completely forgotten about all the disputes that occurred between him and Jian Chen.
Jian Chen declined the God Tier pill that Nong Fugui passed over. Given the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ current circumstances, even the lowest quality God Tier pill was like treasure to Nong Fugui.
However, Jian Chen did not decline the offer to heal in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens because that would save him a lot of effort from dealing with miscellaneous matters.
He was not unfamiliar with the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. It was the only low quality god artifact divine hall in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens right now, as well as where the sect master cultivated.
Chen Shuzhi specially prepared a secret room for Jian Chen to recover inside the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. Of course, he did not actually recover there. He only put on an act and ingested a few God Tier pills, behaving like he was recuperating.
Secretly, a wisp of the senses of Chen Shuzhi’s soul observed everything that Jian Chen did in a way that he believed to be extremely obscure. Even the artifact spirit of the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens constantly observed Jian Chen under Chen Shuzhi’s instructions.
However, Jian Chen ignored that. He sat in the secret room with his eyes shut and his legs crossed. He seemed like he was healing on the surface, but in reality, he had already enveloped the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with the senses of his soul, carefully observing every single disciple inside.
Regardless of their strength, they all became subjects of his observation.
Under his secret observation, he truly discovered quite a few things.
......
…
A Daluo Golden Immortal disciple sat within a regular dwelling of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He formed a strange seal with his fingers. As soon as the seal was formed, he immediately established an extremely obscure connection with some kind of powerful existence.
The disciple’s lips moved without stopping. He did not produce any sound, but through reading his lips, Jian Chen could still tell what he was saying. It was all connected to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
In just a few seconds, he had communicated the most recent situation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to the outside world through a special secret technique.
......
…
In another dwelling, a Xuan Immortal disciple also sat on the ground. He seemed to be cultivating, but in reality, he had sent a wisp of the senses of his soul into his Space Ring. He used the senses of his soul as a brush, rapidly engraving information onto an ordinary-looking jade slip in his Space Ring.
After completing the engravings, he activated a miniature formation hidden within the jade slip with the power of his soul.
In the next moment, the jade slip was immediately reduced to dust. All of the information in the jade slip had been sent out of the Space Ring through a mysterious power.
......
…
A Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal core disciple currently snored away in his dwelling. He had already entered a dream.
Within the dream, he knelt on the ground with great respect and narrated everything that had happened in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens recently without any lies.
Before him was an illusionary figure, shining with resplendent light, glowing like a god. He illuminated the entire dream.
“Jian Chen? He possesses an Immortal-destroying Thunder that can threaten Immortal Emperors?” the mysterious figure in the dream murmured.
“Sir, Jian Chen personally said the Immortal-destroying Thunder could injure Immortal Emperors. When he took out the Immortal-destroying Thunder, the mighty great elder of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder was scared back, even losing the courage to remain in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens for any longer. He fled miserably. As a result, I suspect that the Immortal-destroying Thunder probably does possess such startling might,” the core disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens said respectfully.
“It’s such a high quality Immortal-destroying Thunder, yet it’s been given to a disciple that’s just a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal so casually. Looks like the master behind him is also a supreme expert,” the master of the dream murmured. There was a hint of chilling killing intent in his voice. “Who exactly is this person? How dare they interfere with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Aren’t they afraid of dooming themselves?”
“Who is it!?” Suddenly, the master of the dream bellowed out, and the entire dream collapsed. A terrifying power swept through the surroundings, instantly swallowing the core disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
Inside the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens, Jian Chen’s face immediately paled. Blood was about to spray out of his mouth, but he forced it back down his throat again.
Otherwise, if the blood actually sprayed out, the terrifying energy within his chaotic blood would probably destroy the divine hall instantly.
A low quality god artifact of the lowest grade really might not be able to withstand the power within a mouthful of his blood.
“So powerful. Just a wisp of power through a dream can injure me. This person must be a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt at the very least.” Jian Chen was secretly shocked. Earlier in the ring, he had always acted like he was injured, yet right now, he was actually injured, and the injuries lay in his soul.
“Fortunately, the injuries aren’t too severe, and they’re relatively easy to recover from. However, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens really is lurking with experts.” Jian Chen sighed inside. Only now was he truly convinced that while the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had declined, there were still many powerful figures keeping an eye on it.
Probably most of these people did not have any good intentions either.
In particular, the mysterious expert who had created the dream just now decisively destroyed everything as soon as he sensed someone was watching, clearly refusing to expose himself.
The core disciple still seemed like he was sleeping in his dwelling, except he had already lost all signs of life.
His soul had already been destroyed. He was dead!
“With the master of the dream’s great strength, he killed a core disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens extremely decisively to erase all traces. He’s clearly fearful of something.” Jian Chen frowned as his eyes flickered with uncertainty.
