Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3510: Chiming in Together

Jian Chen said nothing. He simply stood there in silence on purpose.

“Senior brother Zhan is right. Young sect master, the fate of the sect has already become tied to the Immortal-destroying Thunder. As long as we possess it, all the organisations in the surroundings, including the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, fear our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. In order to ensure that nothing happens to it, please hand it over to the sect master for safekeeping, young sect master. With the sect master’s powerful cultivation as an Immortal Monarch, he can definitely protect the Immortal-destroying Thunder,” another Xuan Immortal disciple stood forward and said.

“Sigh, look at all of you and look at how you put it. You act as if senior brother Jian Chen is an outsider. Senior brother Jian Chen is already the young sect master. He’s the designated next sect master of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, so of course, his fate is tied with the sect. Everything that belongs to the sect can be said to be the young sect master’s, while the young sect master’s everything can also be said to belong to the sect. Why do we even need to distinguish between them? After all, it’s all for the sake of the sect’s development.” Another Xuan Immortal disciple spoke up this time.

“The young sect master stood forward when we faced our toughest times, even going as far as to offend the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. He obviously only has the sect in mind. The young sect master has devoted himself to the sect. Let alone a single measly Immortal-destroying Thunder, even ten or a hundred of them mean nothing to the young sect master compared to the sect. After all, with the young sect master’s status, he obviously would not be so stingy that he can’t even bear to part with a single Immortal-destroying Thunder.”

“The young sect master is a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal after all. Perhaps the Immortal-destroying Thunder will struggle to achieve its greatest effects in the young sect master’s hands, but if it’s wielded by the sect master or elder Nong, that would be entirely different.”

“Yeah, in order to ensure an absolute advantage over us, the organisations in the surroundings will definitely come up with all sorts of ways to obtain the Immortal-destroying Thunder. It would be best if the sect master and elder Nong took care of the weapon that could determine the fate of our sect.”

......

…

For a moment, the topic of conversation changed. They all discussed the Immortal-destroying Thunder. In the beginning, only a few Xuan Immortal disciples brought up the topic. These Xuan Immortal disciples clearly possessed quite a lot of influence. As soon as they spoke up, they obtained the support of many disciples, who all added to what they said.

“Be quiet. The Immortal-destroying Thunder was an item that Jian Chen’s master gave to him. It’s invaluable. Its value is beyond your imaginations. How can you discuss such a precious treasure so casually?” Chen Shuzhi bellowed out and glanced towards the disciples who brought this up sharply. He was very stern and imposing.

“Please forgive us, sect master. We were thinking for the sect. After all, it was all due to the Immortal-destroying Thunder that we could frighten away the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. However, if we suddenly lose the Immortal-destroying Thunder, it would be extremely detrimental to the sect.”

“Sect master, senior brother Zhan’s guesses aren’t unreasonable. Who can be absolutely certain that the Immortal Emperor ancestors of the other organisations won’t try and steal such a powerful Immortal-destroying Thunder? With the methods of Immortal Emperors, they’re completely capable of taking anything from the young sect master with ease. They’re impossible to guard against. After all, the difference in cultivation is far too great.”

“Young sect master, if you keep the Immortal-destroying Thunder on you, you might not even know who stole it from you when you lose it. As a result, just in case, please give the Immortal-destroying Thunder to the sect master for safekeeping. After all, this has to do with the fate of the sect. We can’t afford to be careless.”

“Young sect master, please take the bigger picture into account.”

......

…

Not only did Chen Shuzhi’s attempt to stop them fail to achieve anything, but it instead made certain disciples even more aggressive. They spoke with more and more confidence, even resonating with other disciples in the meantime and making even more disciples believe what they said was very reasonable.

“No matter what, the Immortal-destroying Thunder is a private possession of the young sect master. Only the young sect master can decide on what happens to it,” Chen Shuzhi said expressionlessly.

From beginning to end, Jian Chen smiled faintly. Suddenly, with a flip of his hand, the Immortal-destroying Thunder of gold and violet appeared.

Even though it had not been activated, everyone still felt an invisible pressure when the Immortal-destroying Thunder appeared, including Chen Shuzhi and elder Nong.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards it.

Jian Chen casually fiddled around with the Immortal-destroying Thunder in his hand. He smiled easily and joyfully, “There was something that the sect master said that was correct. The value of the Immortal-destroying Thunder in my hand is indeed beyond all of your imaginations. In terms of resources alone, probably even all the possessions of a poorer Immortal Exalt would not be able to rival this Immortal-destroying Thunder.”

“And since my master could give me something so precious without any worry, he obviously was not worried about it being stolen. As a result, if you’re worried that this Immortal-destroying Thunder would be secretly taken away by an Immortal Emperor, you are thinking too much.”

When they heard that, the expressions of the disciples that demanded for Jian Chen to hand over the Immortal-destroying Thunder all hardened slightly. They had no idea how to respond, but Jian Chen continued to say, “Of course, as the young sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, I must take the sect into account for everything that I do. As long as the sect needs it, I have the inescapable responsibility to offer up everything in my possession as the young sect master.”

Jian Chen turned around and clasped his fist at Chen Shuzhi with the Immortal-destroying Thunder. “Sect master, this Immortal-destroying Thunder is my private possession, but it can also be viewed as the sect’s possession. Now, it’s all for the sect master to decide whether the Immortal-destroying Thunder remains in my hand or is handed over to the sect for safe keeping.”

Chen Shuzhi’s gaze remained fixed on the Immortal-destroying Thunder the entire time. A hint of fervency flashed through the depths of his eyes.

Elder Nong who stood on the side secretly sighed inside before turning into a streak of light and vanishing from the main peak.

“Jian Chen, are you really willing to hand the Immortal-destroying Thunder over to me and elder Nong for safe keeping?” Chen Shuzhi asked sternly.

“It will be as the sect master decides!” Jian Chen handed the decision over to Chen Shuzhi.

Chen Shuzhi’s stern face gradually turned into an excited smile. “The Immortal-destroying Thunder truly holds great significance to the sect. It can be viewed as a sect treasure. As a result, I’ll hold onto the Immortal-destroying Thunder for you and watch over the fortunes of the sect with this bomb.” Before he had even finished what he was saying, Chen Shuzhi had already taken the Immortal-destroying Thunder from Jian Chen’s hand.

“Young sect master, how many more of these Immortal-destroying Thunders do you have?” Zhan Yunfei asked carefully.

“This Immortal-destroying Thunder rivals a high quality god artifact in value. How many more do you think I have on me?” Jian Chen stared at him with a slight smile. After giving away that Immortal-destroying Thunder, he still had another five on him.

After handing over the Immortal-destroying Thunder, the ceremony came to a hurried end. Chen Shuzhi returned to the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens and shut himself in a secret room as he examined the Immortal-destroying Thunder in his hand with great affection. His eyes burned with eagerness.

“What a startling pressure. It’s no wonder that even the ancestor of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder feared this bomb. Its power is truly extremely terrifying. It’s just a pity that I still can’t tell its quality, nor can I tell what kind of Immortal Emperor it can heavily injure.”

“The value of this Immortal-destroying Thunder is on par with high quality god artifacts? I wonder if that’s actually true or not.”
