Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3950: Shocking News

Xing Caijian furrowed her brows slightly. The deaths of the great elders from the Immortal Feather sect would be truly difficult to deal with. After all, it was no longer as simple as a matter of pride and dignity for these courts of heaven anymore when it came to great elders. They were also members of the upper echelon and possessed quite the status.

“Since you’ve killed great elders of the Immortal Feather sect, you’ll need my father to stand forward and settle this even more. Otherwise, you will be hunted down throughout the entire world by the Immortal Feather sect. Even if you can flee, it won’t be a long-term solution.” Xing Caijian’s tone was stern.

Jian Chen shook his head with a smile. “The four great elders of the Immortal Feather sect who died by my hand are only the first group. This number will only increase, and it’ll even include a few Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Immortal Feather sect. What is there to settle?”

“Must you oppose the Immortal Feather sect?” Xing Caijian was rather confused.

“I’m not intentionally working against them. There are just some matters that are unavoidable, and there happens to be a need for it as well. You may not know the exact details but your father should know,” Jian Chen said calmly.

When she heard that, a beam of light flashed through Xing Caijian’s eyes. She seemed to have come up with a guess already. She sank into her thoughts.

The conversation between the two of them was carried out secretively. Even the Immortal Exalts gathered nearby were unable to hear the contents of their conversation. Even if they wanted to eavesdrop, they were blocked by an invisible force.

This was the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star’s power! Since it had been exposed already, there was no need for it to go out of its way to stay hidden.

At this moment, a great power swept down from above. Before this power, even some stronger Immortal Exalts could not develop any will to resist.

In the next moment, an irresistibly powerful force swept through every inch of the Skyscraping World with a great disturbance. Everyone it reached, regardless of cultivation or comprehension, vanished, having been forcefully transported out of the Skyscraping World.

In the blink of an eye, not a single person remained in the enormous Skyscraping World.

Jian Chen only felt his vision blur. When it cleared up again, he had already appeared in an independent space. This space was still a part of the Skyscraping World. It could only be opened using the Skyscraping Sword Scripture.

Elsewhere, the enormous mountain that hid various opportunities and the seed of ways gradually faded away into the space there until it vanished for good.

Only by assembling the one hundred and eight pages of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture could they summon the mountain again, but that would be a matter several hundred thousand years in the future.

“We’re out, they’re finally out…”

“Hmm? Something is off. Why are there so few people emerging this time…”

“Over three hundred people entered the Skyscraping World but less than two hundred have emerged. Where are the rest…”

“During the past few times the Skyscraping World opened, there were a few losses each time, but that was less than a tenth of everyone who entered. It’s nowhere like this time, where almost a half is gone…”

......

…

Noisy discussions and exclamations of surprise rang out constantly nearby. Jian Chen looked over and discovered many cultivators gathered in small groups of five and three, staring at the people who emerged in surprise.

They had all followed people who possessed pages of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture into this space, but they did not enter in the end.

“What exactly happened inside? Why did so many people perish?” At this moment, an elderly voice boomed out. An old man in white robes silently appeared above a divine hall. He radiated with the might of an Immortal Exalt.

Shortly afterwards, several other presences of Immortal Exalts appeared. From various directions, the Immortal Exalts who idled around all emerged. All of their gazes gathered on the group of people who emerged from the Skyscraping World. Some of them beamed with joy as their nervous hearts finally settled down, as their people who entered the Skyscraping World had emerged alive.

There were also others with extremely ugly and sunken faces. They did not find their people among the group of people who emerged.

“Over three hundred people entered, yet less than two hundred have emerged alive. Probably quite a few have perished out of the Immortal Exalts alone. Looks like the Skyscraping World this time has been busier than any of the previous times.” At this moment, a gentle voice rang out.

From the moment the voice appeared, all of the Immortal Exalts present narrowed their eyes before demonstrating either respect or dread.

The speaker was the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster, an extremely powerful existence. Both his Laws of the Sword and Laws of Illusions had reached the same heights. He was enough to stand paramount within his realm of cultivation!

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster appeared on an immortal vessel that hovered in the air. His presence was entirely erased, making him seem like a regular person.

Seeing how even the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster behaved like that, the Immortal Exalts nearby who unleashed their aura quickly withdrew their presences. They did not let a single wisp of it leak out again.

At this moment, a few cultivators who emerged from the Skyscraping World left the group and quickly made their way in the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s direction. In the end, they stopped behind him and bowed politely.

These people were all the juniors escorted here by the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster.

“Good! You’re all here!” The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster nodded. Seeing how none of the people he brought here were lost, he felt some relief. “Tell me what happened in the Skyscraping World. What was the exact reason that led to the deaths of so many Immortal Exalts? The Skyscraping World is supposed to be a land of fortune that the Skyscraping Sword Venerable left behind for the juniors of the Immortals’ World, yet today, this land of fortune has instead become a zone of danger. It has defied the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s initial wishes.”

“Your highness, thank you for the care you’ve shown the three of us in the Skyscraping World. Now that our journey in the Skyscraping World is over, it’s time for us to return to our sects…” At the same time, great elder Yun Yingshi of the Cloud sect who helped Xing Caijian picked heavenly resources with the two elders under his command, Yun Lianzi and Yun Liansu, bowed deeply towards her. Their faces were filled with gratitude.

Many people in the surroundings saw this. They looked at the three people from the Cloud sect in complete surprise.

Great elder Yun Yingshi seemed to enjoy this attention very much. He could not help but let out a hint of complacency in the depths of his eyes. No matter what, he had been connected to the daughter of the heavenly emperor, Xing Caijian, in this trip to the Skyscraping World. Once the three of them returned, their status in the sect would definitely rise. As a matter of fact, it would be something that they could boast about for a very long time into the future.

The people transported out from the Skyscraping World all dispersed. Some of them remained alone in that space, looking around cautiously, while others returned to their respective seniors’ sides.

“What? The great elders of the Immortal Feather sect were slain in the Skyscraping World?”

“The Profound Spirit Master actually perished? That’s just unbelievable. A land of fortune like the Skyscraping World actually claimed the life of a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt…”

“What did you say? A sovereign god artifact appeared in the Skyscraping World…”

......

…

Very soon, everyone learnt about what had happened in the Skyscraping World, which led to immediate shock.

Far too many people had emerged, whether they were disciples of esteemed peak organisations or Immortal Exalt ancestors themselves. It was impossible to keep the news contained.

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster was dazed as well. He stared straight at Jian Chen as if it was the first time he had met him.

It was not just the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster. Everyone gathered in this space, regardless of their cultivation, stared at Jian Chen.

This person actually possessed a sovereign god artifact? A sovereign god artifact! That immediately set everyone’s greed ablaze.

Jian Chen glanced around. He could sense a few discreet presences that fluctuated uncontrollably in a few areas that seemed empty.

The appearance of these presences made Jian Chen think of the people who were tempted to rob him as the Skyscraping Sword Scripture was assembled. If it were not for the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s influence, there probably would have been quite a lot of bloodshed in this space.

However, as soon as Jian Chen thought up to there, a figure suddenly appeared before his eyes. He was an old man who seemed extremely ordinary. At this moment, he radiated with the presence of a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. His eyes burned with greed as he directly reached towards Jian Chen with a restraining force in his hand.

This person did not enter the Skyscraping World. He was not completely familiar with Jian Chen’s feats in battle there. He had only taken action eagerly after learning that Jian Chen possessed a sovereign god artifact, unable to control his urges and greed.

All of the Immortal Exalts who emerged from the Skyscraping World watched on coldly. There were even hints of scorn and mockery in their eyes as if they were silently sneering at this person’s futile efforts.

Faced with the attack, Jian Chen was just about to take action when someone moved even faster than him. The Heavenloss Master immediately appeared in front of him. He extended a finger and sharp sword Qi swept through the space, colliding with the assailant.

Boom!

With a rumble, a powerful storm of energy swept through this space, making all of the cultivators nearby retreat. The entire space twisted violently.

The old man stared at the Heavenloss Master who stood in front of him as his face sank. Afterwards, he looked around subconsciously. When he saw how none of the Immortal Exalts in this space showed any signs of taking action, he could not help but become startled. He realised something, and the burning desire in his eyes gradually subsided. He let out a cold snort before vanishing into space again.

“Yang Yutian, did you really kill the great elders of the Immortal Feather sect?” The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster appeared in front of Jian Chen. His face was stern, and his voice was solemn.

He did not ask about Jian Chen’s sovereign god artifact. Instead, he directly asked about the great elders of the Immortal Feather sect as if their deaths were even more important than the supposed sovereign god artifact.

“That’s right. All three great elders from the Immortal Feather sect who entered the Skyscraping World died by my hand.” Jian Chen did not deny it. He openly admitted it before everyone.

“Caijian, what is your stance with regards to this person?” The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster looked at Xing Caijian sternly.
