Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3952: The Robbed Come Knocking

It was not just Jian Chen. Even the people from the Courtyard of Ways and even the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster, a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, had been trapped by the formation assembled from the cauldrons.

Everyone who emerged from the Skyscraping World, without any exception, had fallen into the formation.

“How bold of these people! How dare they disrespect master like this!” A First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt old man flew into a fury on the Illusion-condensing Master’s immortal vessel. Right when he was about to leave the immortal vessel and question what was going on, a hand pressed against his shoulder gently.

“Calm down. Let’s see what is happening first,” the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster said. All of his presence was withdrawn. He seemed like a mortal. He looked around indifferently, directly ignoring the formation assembled from the nine cauldrons.

Jian Chen looked at the nine cauldrons as well. He could tell with a single glance that the nine golden cauldrons were all high quality god artifacts, except they were the weakest kind.

Despite that, a formation assembled from nine high quality god artifacts was enough to trap Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts.

Right when Jian Chen wanted to use the Divine Formation of the Heavens, Xing Caijian seemed to know what he wanted to do. She arrived in front of him in a flash and said with displeasure, “You want to leave as soon as you get out. Do you not trust us? Since I said our Heavenly Star Palace will ensure your safety, no one will be able to harm you.”

“That will only make trouble for you. Less trouble is always better than more trouble,” Jian Chen said helplessly.

“Our Heavenly Star Palace is one of the twelve courts of heaven. We have reigned over the Immortals’ World for countless years. If we were so afraid of trouble, then what right do we have to stand at the apex of the world?” Xing Caijian was serious. Her voice was firm. “Moreover, the trouble in your eyes is a form of responsibility, an undertaking in ours!”

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster had been paying attention to Xing Caijian and Jian Chen the entire time. After hearing Xing Caijian’s words, his doubts grew even heavier.

Earlier, Jian Chen had been forced out by the strand of sword Qi. The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster could have prevented that, but he chose not to. He wanted to see just how far Xing Caijian or perhaps the Heavenly Star Palace would take things for Jian Chen.

Of course, there was another important reason. He was extremely interested in Jian Chen’s identity.

Xing Caijian clearly knew he had killed great elders of the Immortal Feather sect, yet she still wanted to risk war with the Immortal Feather sect just to protect him.

That could only mean his identity was anything but simple.

At this moment, over a dozen figures appeared outside the formation assembled from the nine golden cauldrons. They all radiated with tremendous presences.

As soon as they emerged, a person threw down some formation materials, setting up another powerful formation outside the nine cauldrons. Numerous formations overlapped together, forming an impenetrable wall as if they were afraid that anyone inside would escape.

“This is the Nine Dragons Prison Cauldron Formation. There is only one person who can assemble it, which is the Myriad Gold Ancestor of the Gold Yang sect, the greatest sect on the Numerous Layer Heaven.

“What? It’s actually the paramount existence from the Gold Yang sect? It’s said that the Myriad Gold Ancestor is a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the greatest expert on the Numerous Layer Heaven…”

“Someone as lofty as him has actually come here in person…”

“It’s not just the Gold Yang sect. There’s the Primordial Formation of Archaism. Out of the entire Ancient Immortal sect, there’s only the Old Monolith Immortal who can assemble such a powerful Primordial Formation of Archaism. However, this formation only seals up the space here. He won’t have the courage to actually activate it…”

......

…

Some Immortal Exalts exclaimed inside the formation. They had already recognised who the people were through the formations. They became stern.

Although some of them also came from peak organisations, they came nowhere close to the likes of the Gold Yang sect and the Ancient Immortal sect.

At this moment, the experts gathered outside the formation all took a step and passed through the formations without any obstruction, entering this sealed space.

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster had already vanished. He entered the immortal vessel, sitting before a jade table alone as he sipped on some tea at ease.

“I am the Cloud Furnace Master of the Sword Sect of Jade Clouds from the Cloud Extent Heaven. Apologies, everyone. The reason why I’ve temporarily kept everyone here is because the medicinal garden established in the Skyscraping World by our Sword Sect of Jade Clouds has been destroyed. The medicinal garden is extremely important both to me and the Sword Sect of Jade Clouds. We cannot afford to lose it. Once I get to the bottom of this matter, our Sword Sect of Jade Clouds will definitely visit you one by one in apology for our rudeness today!” The Cloud Furnace Master of the Sword Sect of Jade Clouds clasped his fist at everyone. He was very polite.

“I am the Myriad Gold Ancestor of the Gold Yang sect. Apologies, everyone…”

“I am the Split Stream Master of the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sun. Apologies, everyone…”

......

…

Following the Cloud Furnace Master, the other experts all clasped their fists at everyone as well. After all, the people they had trapped here were connected to various organisations in the Immortals’ World. There were even people from courts of heaven like the Courtyard of Ways. They did not have the courage to be too disrespectful.

If it were not for the fact that they had over a dozen experts assembled together, all suffering losses, they really would not have had the courage to trap these people who emerged from the Sksycraping World.

The people from the Courtyard of Ways stood to one corner like none of this involved them. Clearly, they were already prepared for this situation. They were not surprised at all.

The experts from a few other organisations like the Ghost Immortal cult and the Myriad Ways cult did not dare to show any displeasure either. The experts who sealed off this place were all mid Immortal Exalts. There were even several at the Sixth Heavenly Layer. Every single person represented a major organisation. When they banded together, even an organisation as powerful as a court of heaven had to take them seriously.

“I am the Scholar Capital Master of the Modest Silence Heaven. I only have one goal in coming here. In the past, I nurtured a Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing in the Skyscraping World. I hid it with a formation, just so that it could mature successfully. Unexpectedly, someone actually stole the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing that I had nurtured during the opening of the Skyscraping World this time.”

“Though, who exactly ended up with the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing?” Towards the end, the Scholar Capital Master’s voice immediately turned cold. The pressure of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt emanated out slightly.

When they heard the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing, many of the Immortal Exalts present responded with strange expressions. Meanwhile, the face of the Heavenloss Master of the Sword Sect of Yang Soul became extremely ugly. He constantly cursed inside.

He was extremely afraid of everything that could lead to the topic of Jian Chen’s relationship with the elder princess.

“So the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing actually belonged to the Scholar Capital Master. No wonder it could reach such a high quality. With the master’s formation concealing it, regular people would truly struggle to find it,” an Immortal Exalt who emerged from the Skyscraping World said in realisation.

The Scholar Capital Master’s heart sat in his throat. He stared at the Immortal Exalt in interest and said urgently, “Then who currently possesses the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing?”
