Chapter 3953: The Mad Master

As soon as the Scholar Capital Master said that, many people subconsciously glanced at Jian Chen. From time to time, their gazes would also pause on the Heavenloss Master.

Ever since the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing appeared, they were the two who fought most violently for it. The Heavenloss Master had even claimed it prematurely, planning on offering it up to the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance.

But afterwards, no one knew what possessed the Heavenloss Master. His attitude towards Jian Chen changed drastically, so much so that many people were unable to adjust accordingly.

The Scholar Capital Master immediately looked at Jian Chen. He furrowed his brows slightly because Jian Chen’s presence was very different from the person who first destroyed the formation.

However, he did not think too much about it. He understood the brutality of the Skyscraping World all too well. It was perfectly normal for the heavenly resources discovered there to change owners several times. The final person who possessed the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing did not have to be the person who destroyed the formation.

“Fellow, is the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing with you?” the Scholar Capital Master asked sternly.

“Scholar Capital Master, I have visited the place where the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing grew. From the various traces left behind, the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing should have been planted there by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable. Since it was left behind by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable, it will obviously go to the one destined to possess it, so it shouldn’t be your possession,” Zuo Dao who stood near Jian Chen said. He was very composed and was not overly rude or polite. Even when he faced a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt like the Scholar Capital Master, he showed no fear.

“Who are you?” The Scholar Capital Master’s face sank. A hint of cold killing intent flashed through the depths of his eyes.

He was determined to obtain the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing. It was far too important to him. As long as it came to the ownership of the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing, he would not accept any disputes or doubts.

“I am Zuo Dao of the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens from the Wondrous Success Heaven!” Zuo Dao clasped his fist.

When he heard that, the Scholar Capital Master narrowed his eyes slightly. The killing intent in the depths of his eyes immediately vanished. He furrowed his brows and said, “My Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing isn’t in your possession, so what’re you butting in for?”

“I’m only stating the truth. Everything inside the Skyscraping World was originally left behind by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable to benefit the juniors of the Immortals’ World. Everything inside goes to those destined to possess them. You are one of the three sages of the Modest Silence Heaven, a mighty Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. What you’re doing here is somewhat beneath you,” said Zuo Dao.

Xing Caijian’s eyes shone as well. She glanced at Jian Chen and communicated carefully, “What is your connection with the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens? Why is an ancestor of the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens helping you time and time again?”

Jian Chen shook his head gently, expressing that he did not know. Actually, he had already developed a guess when he saw how Zuo Dao often accompanied the Heavenloss Master.

Xing Caijian looked at Zuo Dao. Her eyes were filled with doubt. The Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens was no ordinary organisation. Before the rise of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance, the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens had been the undisputed rulers of the Wondrous Success Heaven. During their prime, they had a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.

Even though the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens was already past their prime, their strength still could not be underestimated. They had an Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. They possessed the same level of strength as her mother’s sect, the Immortal Sect of Sacred Fire.

Xing Caijian could ignore how the Heavenloss Master of the Sword Sect of Yang Soul was assisting Jian Chen, but if the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens assisted Jian Chen from behind, then the implications would be completely different.

When Zuo Dao revealed his background was the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens, the owners of the medicinal gardens all glanced over. Many of them were cautious.

The Scholar Capital Master did not want to argue with Zuo Dao any further either. He looked at Jian Chen again and said, “Is the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing on you?”

“That’s right, I did obtain the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing. However, if you want me to produce the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing, then please forgive me, Scholar Capital Master, as I cannot,” Jian Chen said to the Scholar Capital Master.

“The Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing is extremely important to me. If you return the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing to me, I can give you other items of equal value!” The Scholar Capital Master stared straight at Jian Chen. He recalled the final sights he saw with the wisp of his soul that he had left in the Skyscraping World, and he made a comparison.

He had a feeling that the person who destroyed the concealment formation was right in front of him. Even though his appearance was different and his presence was different as well, he found him to be slightly familiar from his demeanor.

However, he looked around, but did not find the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. That made him deliberate slightly, unable to come to an immediate conclusion.

The formation banners he used to hide the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing were of rather high quality. They were precious treasures even to him. He also wanted to recover the lost formation banners.

“The Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing is already gone.” Jian Chen stared at the Scholar Capital Master in a strange manner.

“W-w-what? G-g-gone?” The Scholar Capital Master’s eyes immediately narrowed drastically. He stared straight at Jian Chen with widened eyes, unable to believe this outcome.

He had spent the past few years waiting uneasily outside the Skyscraping World. What he was most worried about was the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing being used up inside the Skyscraping World. Never did he expect that the thing he worried about the most still ended up happening.

Without the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing, it would be very difficult for the artifact spirit of the Divine Sword of the Immortal Soul to recover. He would not be able to grasp the Immortal Soul Annihilation technique through the artifact spirit either.

The only Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing of high enough quality to repair the Divine Sword of the Immortal Soul was the one in the Skyscraping World.

That was because the Spiritual Fruits of Sword Nurturing available in the Immortals’ World were either of too low quality and completely useless to the Divine Sword of the Immortal Soul, or they had been monopolised by the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords.

As a matter of fact, even some lower quality Spiritual Fruits of Sword Nurturing would end up in the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords’ possession.

Without any exaggeration, the Scholar Capital Master basically had no other way to obtain a second Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing of high enough quality if he lost the one in the Skyscraping World.

That was unless he decided to steal from the tiger’s mouth and run the risk of offending the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords.

Suddenly, killing intent radiated from the Scholar Capital Master. His eyes turned bloodshot. His gaze towards Jian Chen was filled with bone-chilling killing intent.

“You little piece of shit, how dare you use up the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing. How dare you use it up. Do you have any idea just how much energy I’ve put into the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing? Do you know how great of a price I’ve paid for it? I’ve even abandoned the war on the Modest Silence Heaven, watching this place for all these years just so I could take back the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing, yet you, you, you… You actually used up the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing…”

“Argh! I’m going to kill you!” The Scholar Capital Master lost his mind. His presence exploded. The pressure of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt shook up the surroundings and twisted the space, forcing back some of the Immortal Exalts in the surroundings.

He struck out in fury. His hand shattered the space, directly hurtling towards Jian Chen with devastating power.

His arduous waiting had all gone to waste. The loss of the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing was just too much for him. At that moment, he even forgot to ask about Jian Chen’s origins and background. The only thought that remained in his head was to tear the bastard who destroyed the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing to shreds, to make him suffer the most horrific death.

At that moment, the Illusion-condensing Master in the nearby immortal vessel paused slightly. He raised his head. He looked through the immortal vessel, and his gaze landed on Xing Caijian and Jian Chen.

At the same time, the Heavenloss Master’s face changed drastically. He could feel the threat of death from the Scholar Capital Master’s attack.

If the palm strike landed on him, he would be left half-dead even if he somehow managed to survive.
