Chapter 3617: Elder Wen Shan

“If there’s no pot, then so be it, but you even want to claim my initial wager too? You’re going too far.” Jian Chen’s face darkened.

Yu Changfeng’s face was filled with apologies. He bowed deeply towards Jian Chen again and said sternly, “I truly must apologise. Senior Chang Yang, we didn’t want this either, but the Immortal Feather sect has spoken. We can’t defy them. After all, if we refuse, the organisations behind us will probably make a powerful enemy for themselves.”

At this moment, a powerful energy immediately swept through the place with a violent shudder. In the next moment, there was a clear crack from Jian Chen.

Jian Chen opened his hand with an ugly expression. A memory crystal had already shattered.

“Apologies, senior Chang Yang. I forgot to tell you beforehand, but this guest room has a special formation. All memory crystals are rendered useless,” said Yu Changkong.

At this moment, the door to the guest room opened slowly, and an old man walked in. The clothes he wore were completely woven from the feathers of immortal cranes, giving off a gentle glow.

When he saw the old man, a vicious light immediately flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes. This person was the Immortal Monarch from the Immortal Feather sect who had visited him in the inn and demanded for him to hand over the ten recovery pills.

“Elder Wen Shan, why have you come here all of a sudden? Oh, look at me. I’ve actually failed to welcome you outside. Please forgive me. Please forgive me.”

As soon as the elder of the Immortal Feather sect entered the room, Yu Changkong’s expression changed. He smiled from ear to ear in a hurry and apologised profusely.

Elder Wen Shan from the Immortal Feather sect was only a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch. His cultivation came nowhere close to Yu Changkong’s, who was already a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch. However, it was exactly because he came from the Immortal Feather sect that Yu Changkong treated him with the utmost respect.

“Elder Yu Changkong, how can you say that? I hope my sudden arrival hasn’t disturbed you.” Wen Shan smiled gently before glancing at Jian Chen seated in the guest room. His smile immediately became quite strange.

With a flip of his hand, a tablet appeared in Wen Shan’s hand. He passed the tablet over to Yu Changkong and said, “Elder Yu Changkong, I’ve come to collect the pool. You better give me all two million five-coloured immortal crystals, without a single one missing.”

Jian Chen looked at the tablet in Wen Shan’s hand. Intense killing intent immediately flashed through his eyes, as the tablet was identical to the one in his hand. The only difference was the tablet in his hand had already lost all of its power from seals, which was equivalent to losing any and all effectiveness.

Of all the times he could choose to collect the winnings, he had to choose now, which made Jian Chen understand that his disguise had already fallen through.

As such, he simply stopped hiding and recovered his appearance as Chang Yang. He stared at Wen Shan coldly. “The Immortal Feather sect is a court of heaven after all. To think you would actually do something so shameless. You’ve really renewed my understanding of the sect.”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, general Chang Yang.” Wen Shan smiled. He glanced past the gambling tablet in his hand and said, “Oh, are you referring to this item in my possession? Please take a close look, general. Is my tablet authentic or not?”

“On the other hand, you’ve forged a fake tablet from who knows where and are trying to steal two million five-coloured immortal crystals. Don’t you know that each tablet has the power of several dozen official seals and they can’t be forged?”

Wen Shan was filled with complacency. He mocked Jian Chen. “Two million five-coloured immortal crystals are really nothing to our Immortal Feather sect, but to some people, it’s probably enough to leave them dancing around frantically.”

Jian Chen forcefully restrained his urge to kill someone. He stood up and said, “My belongings aren’t that easy to just take from me. And those Thousand Immortal Generals who were an accessory to this will pay a heavy price for their actions very soon.”

With that, Jian Chen turned around and left the gambling parlour, making his way straight towards a commander’s estate.

“Elder Wen Shan, given Immortal Emperor Chang Yang’s personality, he probably won’t take this lying down,” Yu Changkong said with worry after Jian Chen had left.

Elder Wen Shan of the Immortal Feather sect smiled without any concern. “What’re you afraid of? Even if he’s an Immortal Emperor of extraordinary strength, he’s still an independent cultivator. What, is an independent cultivator supposed to be able to achieve anything at all?”

Immortal Exalt Wei Qi sat in the main seat in the commander’s estate. His eyebrows were firmly locked together. He said sternly, “Chang Yang, I really can’t assist you with this. The only option is to go and find the city lord, but the city lord basically spends all of his time in the sacred land cultivating. It’s virtually impossible for him to direct any attention towards these trifling affairs.”

“Senior Wei Qi, the gambling parlour has the support of several dozen Hundred Immortal Commandants and Thousand Immortal Generals. You probably know who these people are.” Jian Chen stood beneath with his fist clasped, showing all the respect that Immortal Exalt Wei Qi deserved.

“I do know who they are. There are around forty of them in total, with exactly twenty Thousand Immortal Generals. The rest are all Hundred Immortal Commandants with some background.” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi looked at Jian Chen while feeling a headache. “Don’t tell me you’re going to go and make trouble for them after asking this?”

“They’ve made me lose two million five-coloured immortal crystals. Of course, I won’t let this slide. Senior Wei Qi, please tell me who they are.”

Very soon, Jian Chen left the commander’s estate with the full list from Immortal Exalt Wei Qi. He moved through the streets of the Observance Heaven City with an icy gaze before stopping before a general’s estate in the end.

The Observance Heaven City had a total of fifty general’s estates. This general’s estate happened to be one of the residences that belonged to one of the other forty-nine Thousand Immortal Generals.

“Thousand Immortal General Chang Yang has specially come to visit Immortal Emperor Sen Yang.”

A resounding voice echoed through the general’s estate.

In a secret room, Thousand Immortal General Sen Yang suddenly opened his eyes within a secret room. He looked at the entrance of the estate with a hint of seriousness.

“So he’s come after all.” Immortal Emperor Sen Yang sighed inside. In the next moment, he appeared before Jian Chen like he had teleported.

Immortal Emperor Sen Yang was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in golden and violet robes, giving off a sense of nobility. He did not invite Jian Chen into the estate. Instead, he stood at the entrance and looked at Jian Chen. He asked calmly, “Fellow Chang Yang, may I ask why you have come?”

Jian Chen took out the gambling tablet that had lost the power of the seals and said, “Do you see this? I think you know why I’m here. If Yu Changkong wanted the power of the seals that you deposited into the tablet to vanish, he could only do so with your permission. Immortal Emperor Sen Yang, you’ve made me lose two million five-coloured immortal crystals. How do you plan on settling this debt?”

“Immortal Emperor Chang Yang, you sure are stubborn. You actually came here to haggle about that.”

Before Immortal Emperor Sen Yang could say anything, a voice filled with vigour rang out from the distance. A middle-aged man in black robes appeared out of nowhere and stood beside Immortal Emperor Sen Yang.

“Immortal Emperor Duan Hun, I was originally going to find you next. I didn’t expect you to come here yourself.” Jian Chen looked at the man in black robes and sneered.
