Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2680: Attracting Attention

“Greetings from junior Yang Yutian. I come from no sect in the Saints’ World. I have always been alone, with no place tying me down,” Jian Chen replied with a clasped fist. He did not speak with any particular modesty or arrogance. He behaved normally, ready to adapt to whatever was thrown at him.

“Hmph, what lies.” The eyes of the old man who was dressed like a caretaker immediately turned cold. He stared at Jian Chen sharply as if he wanted to see through him completely. He said icily, “You can only enter the World of the Fallen Beast if you are under the age of a thousand years. You’ve managed to reach early Godking within a millennium, yet you still say that you come from no sect? Yang Yutian, do you really think I’m that easy to fool?”

The old man’s glare became sharper and sharper. “If I’ve guessed correctly, you should be a spy sent over from some other organisation. Tell me, what are you trying to achieve by sneaking into our Heavenly Crane clan?” A powerful presence radiated from the old man, crushed towards Jian Chen with absolute might.

However, he did not know that Jian Chen was not an early Godking. Jian Chen had only made his cultivation appear at early Godking as a ruse. Before a powerful Primordial realm expert, the old man’s mere late Godking presence seemed rather laughable.

However, Jian Chen obviously would not expose his strength. His expression changed, and he acted like he was in agony by gritting his teeth. “Senior, you’re overthinking things. The reason why I want to join the Heavenly Crane clan is only to enter the World of the Fallen Beast. The World of the Fallen Beast is extremely dangerous. If I move about in there alone, I’ll definitely be doomed. I want to join the Heavenly Crane clan to work for you, as well as in hopes of receiving your clan’s protection.”

“As for my strength, let me come clean. I accidentally obtained the White River Master’s legacy. The White River Master was an Infinite Prime. However, he passed away many years ago. The legacy and various cultivation resources he had left behind allowed me to attain my current glory.”

“Hmph, the legacy of an Infinite Prime can create a Godking below the age of a thousand years? Do you think I’m as easy to fool as a kid? There’s no need for any doubt at all. You have to be a spy sent by some other large organisation. You bear no good intentions. I’ll capture you right now and interrogate you,” the old man bellowed, and his hand directly reached out, approaching Jian Chen with lightning speed and surging energy.

He had actually used his full strength this time, completely unleashing his cultivation as a late Godking. Clearly, he wanted to capture Jian Chen efficiently this time.

“This kid is so extravagant, casually giving away over a hundred supreme grade divine crystals to guards. That means he must have even more supreme grade divine crystals on him. But once I capture him, it’ll all be mine,” the caretaker thought and celebrated inside.

He would not stoop as low as this in the Saints’ World. A few supreme grade divine crystals were not enough for him to offend a Godking. Even though it was only an early Godking, some Godkings did possess many strange secret techniques even if they possessed lacklustre strength. Once it came down to a desperate struggle, they could still cause some trouble.

However, this was the Spirits’ World, which made the value of divine crystals increase by several folds. The spendthriftness that Jian Chen had demonstrated was enough for him to take this risk.

Jian Chen sneered as he watched the old man’s hand reach over. However, his expression did not change. He also struck out with his hand, exhibiting his cultivation at early Godking.

“What ignorance! You’re a mere early Godking, yet you want to take me head-on?” The caretaker sneered.

Bang!

However, in the next moment, something that surprised him happened. The two hands collided. In the clash between early and late Godking, the caretaker did not overwhelm his opponent completely as he had imagined. Instead, he felt a great force that actually nullified all the energy in his hand.

However, Jian Chen produced a grunt and staggered backwards uncontrollably. He only stabilised himself after taking several dozen steps. His face was bright red, and it seemed like his body was shaken up.

“Brat, you really aren’t simple. You’re an early Godking, yet you actually possess such terrifying battle prowess. However, do you think you really can sneak into our Heavenly Crane clan like this? You’re dreaming.” The caretaker was surprised. He looked at Jian Chen as if he were a monster. However, he wanted to capture Jian Chen even more now.

He struck out once again. Energy surged from his body as he turned into a blur that shot towards Jian Chen. He was no longer as passive as before, directly using his strongest technique to strike with lightning speed.

“Senior, what are you doing? I’ve come to join the Heavenly Crane clan. If your Heavenly Crane clan won’t accept me, then so be it, but you even slander me and want to kill me. So much for being a famed peak clan. Don’t you feel any embarrassment by acting like this?” Jian Chen called out sternly.

He had spoken extremely loudly. His voice spread far away, attracting the attention of many people nearby.

Immediately, many gazes were cast over.

This immediately made the caretaker’s face sink. Originally, he wanted to capture Jian Chen quietly then finish him off so that he could rob him of all his wealth. Even if someone brought it up in the future, he would be able to dodge the entire matter using his authority. However, he never expected Jian Chen to make a scene, making the Heavenly Crane clan’s divine hall the centre of attention in the square.

With that, a matter that should have been insignificant might develop uncontrollably.

“God dammit!” The caretaker cursed inside. With a flip of his hand, a snow-white feather fan appeared in his hand. The fan was made from the feathers of heavenly cranes, giving off a bone-chilling coldness.

The caretaker swung the fan at Jian Chen. Frigid winds immediately began to billow through the surroundings, creating a stream of coldness that drifted towards Jian Chen as if it could freeze space.

“Stop!” At this moment, an old and dignified voice rang out. With the voice, the cold wind from the caretaker’s fan seemed to encounter a terrifyingly hot sun, immediately vanishing.

Two figures appeared above the divine hall. One of them was a grey-haired old woman. Her face was covered with wrinkles, but she seemed dignified. She gave off the terrifying presence of a Chaotic Prime.

The other person was He Qianqian of the Heaven Crane clan.

“Greetings to the great elder. Greeting to miss Qian!” The caretaker’s face immediately changed drastically when he saw the two of them. He dropped to his knees in great fear.

The Chaotic Prime great elder said nothing. However, He Qianqian glanced past the caretaker and Jian Chen. She asked indifferently, “What happened here? Why is there so much ruckus?”

“Miss Qian, this person is a spy. He wants to sneak into our Heavenly Crane clan, but I’ve exposed him.”
