Chapter 3577: Jing Yao’s Master

“Trouble?” Jian Chen shook his head with a smile. “I don’t agree with how great elder Xiong is calling this all trouble, as our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has never gone looking for trouble. It’s all other organisations harassing us. We’re only fighting back in self-defence.”

“For example, the Immortal Sect of Sword Control, the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes, the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, and the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset in the beginning, and the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder afterwards. Which one of them was not an enemy of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens? Which one of them didn’t oppress the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens for many years? If it wasn’t for the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s edict, they would have swallowed the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens whole, so it made perfect sense for our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to destroy them.”

“As for the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, have you not thought about why their ten Immortal Exalts and eighty-one Immortal Monarchs would perish, great elder Xiong? If they didn’t proactively set up an ambush against senior daemon orchid, would they have ended up dead?”

“Senior daemon orchid has saved your life before. Have you considered exactly what fate would be awaiting senior daemon orchid if it wasn’t for some accidents during the ambush set up by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?”

As soon as he heard Jian Chen mention the Immortal Devouring Orchid, great elder Xiong’s face became gloomy. While he knew that the Immortal Devouring Orchid was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, he also did not believe the Immortal Devouring Orchid had a chance at surviving the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ trap.

After all, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ arrangements were so powerful that even a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt would basically face death if they fell into the formation, let alone a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Immortal Devouring Orchid.

Perhaps because this had to do with the Immortal Devouring Orchid, great elder Xiong was no longer in the mood to discuss this any further. They dispersed very soon.

Before he left the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, great elder Xiong arrived before the Immortal Devouring Orchid again. His face was filled with undisguised respect. After bowing deeply towards the Immortal Devouring Orchid, he said with mixed feelings, “Senior daemon orchid, I’m leaving. I don’t know whether we’ll be able to meet again once I leave this time.”

“Senior daemon orchid, you saved my life in the past, and you granted me an opportunity, allowing me to possess my own low quality god artifact when I was still a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal. The low quality god artifacts was also the reason why I managed to escape despite facing death numerous times in battles outside after I left the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

“A single favour, no matter how small, should be repaid on fold. I felt regret more than just once in the past from being unable to repay your favour. Now that I’ve met you again, I’ve discovered to my lament that I’m still incapable of paying you back…” Reaching there, great elder Xiong sobbed slightly as if he felt pain and self-blame from his lack of ability.

“Sorry, senior daemon orchid… sorry… I’m truly sorry. Little Xiong is useless. Little Xiong has let down the care you showed in the past. I clearly know you’re in trouble, but I’m still incapable of addressing the problems for you.”

At that moment, great elder Xiong seemed to forget his identity as a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords. It was as if he had returned to the past, when he was still a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal. He knelt down slowly before the Immortal Devouring Orchid with both knees on the ground, lowering his head nine times towards the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

After kowtowing nine times, great elder Xiong suddenly stood up before travelling off into the distance without looking back. He turned into a streak of light and departed from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

He was unable to pay back the Immortal Devouring Orchid for saving his life, nor was he able to resolve the grievance between the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants and the Immortal Devouring Orchid. As a result, the nine kowtows were to pay back the kindness the Immortal Devouring Orchid had once shown.

Jian Chen stood on the top of the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens on the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and watched as great elder Xiong travelled away. He could not help but nod secretly and praise. “This great elder Xiong is someone who treasures his connections. Unfortunately, the grievances between the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has basically elevated to a point where only one can emerge alive. Even as a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords, he’s incapable of interfering with this, so he can’t save the Immortal Devouring Orchid.”

Afterwards, Jian Chen’s expression became strange. He thought to himself, “When he finds out in the future that the Immortal Devouring Orchid right now is no longer the same one that saved him, will he hate me?”

During the next period of time, the deaths of all the experts from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants spread further and further on the Reverent Observance Heaven. In the beginning, only the peak organisations with Immortal Exalts knew about this, but as time went on, even organisations with only Immortal Emperors or even just Immortal Monarchs learnt about this as well.

For a moment, many people on the Reverent Observance Heaven cast their gazes towards the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants and the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

“Eighty-one Immortal Monarchs and ten Immortal Emperors. Since when did the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens become so capable that they can make the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants suffer such a tremendous loss?”

“According to the ancestor, the organisation behind the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens took action. Looks like they want to face off against the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”

“Though, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has fallen silent recently. Don’t tell me they’re afraid?”

“Hmph, what kind of existence do you think the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is? Why would they fear the people behind Jian Chen? This is only the calm before the storm.”

Many organisations discussed this matter on the Reverent Observance Heaven.

The many disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens gradually learnt about this as well, which left the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in fear. Many disciples spent their days on edge, worried about any devastating blows from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.

Jian Chen sent out elder Nong and Chen Shifang to console the disciples.

Meanwhile, he flipped through some ancient records obtained from a few sects in an attempt to find a way for the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall to recover quickly.

As an Immortal Emperor, he already possessed the ability to peer around. He could peer into some secrets of the world to a certain degree, but something that could allow the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall to recover was no ordinary item. Information from such a high level had clearly surpassed the limits of what he could find through peering around.

When it came to peering into the world, that was an advantage that the strong possessed over the weak. It was the same with information.

Suddenly, Jian Chen raised his head as he sat on the throne. He looked in the direction of the entrance of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens before letting out a great sigh. “It’s not good that the sect’s formation is too weak. These late Immortal Emperors really can come and go as they please.”

Soon after Jian Chen’s sigh, Jing Yao, who had joined the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens as an auxiliary back then with him, found Jian Chen. Her expression was mixed as she bit her lip gently. She said softly, “Sect master, my master has come. She wishes to see you.”

“Your master? From the Black Demon Palace?” Jian Chen’s eyes shone. After becoming the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, he gradually learnt about the organisations that had always been secretly assisting the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens over the years.

The Black Demon Palace of the Taiji Heaven was one of them.

Ever since the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens declined, they suffered from an extreme shortage of supplies. Over the past few hundred thousand years, the Black Demon Palace had never stopped providing the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with secret help. The help was not particularly great, only sending disciples into the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens over long periods of time and assisting the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with activating the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain.

They would also deliver some cultivation resources, not too much, every once in a while.

However, the intentions and the favour they showed was immovable like rock.

“Yes!” Jing Yao answered.

“Please let her in!” Jian Chen immediately stood up. Jian Chen had quite a good impression of the Black Demon Palace, seeing how they still secretly provided help to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens despite the decline.

“That won’t be necessary. I’m already here.”

As soon as Jian Chen said that, a cold voice rang out in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. Before they knew it, a woman in black had appeared beside Jing Yao.

She seemed like she was already in her forties. Despite already being middle-aged, it was still possible to see her great beauty from her youth from her delicate facial features and beautiful cheeks.

In the past, she had definitely been an alluring fairy of unmatched beauty.
