Chaotic Sword God

At this moment, the presence of another Immortal Exalt arrived. A streak of light shot over from the distance, stopping above the mountains.

“It’s the city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu!”

“Greetings, senior Tan Yu!”

......

…

The Immortal Emperors gathered there all ventured forward and bowed.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was injured. His face was slightly pale, giving off a sense of haggardness.

But at this moment, he was extremely stern. His gaze wandered between the Fiend Soul Banner and the huge pit on the side. He was surprised and doubtful.

Shortly afterwards, Immortal Exalts arrived here one after another. Apart from Immortal Exalt Tan Yu of the Immortal Rising City, the Immortal Exalts of the two other great cities of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, the Yi Immortal City and the Azure Afterglow City, had personally arrived as well.

Immortal Exalt ancestors emerged from various other great organisations, personally investigating the matter here.

At this moment, over ten Immortal Exalts had already gathered!

The Flying Leaf Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment was also present. She stared straight at the Fiend Soul Banner in both surprise and fury, but shortly afterwards, chills ran from her head to the bottom of her spine.

At a closer glance, it was quite easy to notice that the Flying Leaf Ancestor trembled gently all over. Who knew whether it was out of fear or fury.

“Impossible. This is completely impossible. Senior brother Space-purging is not just a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. He has also grasped the Laws of Space. Even if he encounters a powerful opponent, he can escape with ease if he stands no chance. H-h-how did he die…” The Flying Leaf Ancestor’s heart surged.

“This object is a demonic artifact infamous in the Demons’ World, the Fiend Soul Banner. I never thought that a diabolical demon would forge such a vicious god artifact in our Immortals’ World. Heaven forbid his actions,” an Immortal Exalt recognised the Fiend Soul Banner and said coldly.

“What? This is a Fiend Soul Banner? That’s a demonic treasure that faces intense opposition even in the Demons’ World. It has actually appeared in our Immortals’ World today…”

“It’s said that forging this item requires the sacrifice of billions of souls. Whenever this item appears, it means that countless innocent people have suffered tragedies…”

“This is a secondary banner of the Fiend Soul Banners. It seems like it was only forged recently. If billions of cultivators perished, that would definitely lead to an extremely great uproar, which would be impossible to hide. Dammit, this item was forged from the souls of mortals from lower worlds…”

The Flying Leaf Ancestor’s confidence vanished from the guilt she felt when she heard the condemnation of the other Immortal Exalts.

Suddenly, a terrifying presence that even many of the Immortal Exalts found oppressive descended. It filled the entire place with a reckless and overbearing intent.

With the presence’s appearance, many of the Immortal Exalts demonstrated caution and dread.

“It’s the Warring Old Freak of the War sect. I never thought the situation here would even alarm him…” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s eyes flickered with caution and dread as well.

In the next moment, a thin old man suddenly appeared. He was dressed in hemp clothes and had pepper hair. Nothing about him seemed particularly special, but the presence he gave off made many of the Immortal Exalts present retreat.

He was the greatest expert of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, one of the three ancestors of the War sect, an existence who had remained at the Sixth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt for several million years.

No one knew his name anymore. They all referred to him as the Warring Old Freak, a valiant and battle-hungry person with extraordinary strength.

“Scarlet Fire of the Yi Immortal City greets senior Warring…”

“Yi Miao of the Azure Afterglow City greets senior Warring…”

“Sun-chasing of the Overflowing Immortal sect greets senior Warring…”

“Cloud-rushing of the Immortal Sect of Surrounding Void greets senior Warring…”

......

…

With the Warring Old Freak’s arrival, all of the Immortal Exalt ancestors ventured forward and bowed in complete respect.

The Warring Old Freak was unfazed. He only nodded gently towards the Immortal Exalts in the surroundings. His gaze remained fixed on the bottomless pit. He was stern.

After staring at the pit for a while, the Warring Old Freak turned his gaze towards the Fiend Soul Banner.

At this moment, the Fiend Soul Banner remained on the ground. Despite the arrival of many Immortal Exalts, no one tried to touch it apart from the Immortal Emperor who had tried to steal it.

It was as if they were afraid of creating any misunderstandings, reluctant to involve themselves in any unnecessary affairs.

However, the Warring Old Freak did not have such worries. He reached out; the Fiend Soul Banner resting on the ground immediately ended up in his hand.

His left hand was like a powerful clamp, holding the Fiend Soul Banner firmly. Terrifying energy surged out. Not only did this make the Fiend Soul Banner shake violently, but even the space around him twisted violently as if it could not withstand the terrifying energy. Criss-crossing spatial cracks appeared rapidly.

“The Fiend Soul Banner contains billions of deceased souls. The Warring Old Freak is searching for the artifact spirit in these souls. If he finds the artifact spirit, perhaps he can find who forged this item through the memories of the artifact spirit,” an Immortal Exalt said gently, recognising what the Warring Old Freak was trying to do.

“He’s trying to find the person who forged this item immediately. Looks like the Warring Old Freak utterly loathes the expert who forged the Fiend Soul Banner.”

“Anyone with a sense of righteousness and a conscience would loath the person who forged this artifact…”

......

…

The Flying Leaf Ancestor from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment in the crowd became nervous. She stared straight at the Warring Old Freak uneasily.

However, she hid her emotions very well, so no one present noticed her abnormal behaviour.

A while later, the presence that the Warring Old Freak gave off slowly subsided. The startling energy that channelled into the Fiend Soul Banner halted as well.

“Senior Warring, did you find the person who forged the Fiend Soul Banner?” Immortal Exalt Yi Miao of the Azure Afterglow City asked.

The Warring Old Freak did not answer. His face darkened slightly. He formed a seal with one hand, constantly creating profound signs. The ways even seemed to manifest in his eyes as the laws wove together.

Everyone could tell with a single glance that the Warring Old Freak was peering into this matter, which meant that he had failed to find any clues through his method earlier.

The Flying Leaf Ancestor let out a sigh of relief in the crowd.

However, after just a minute, the Warring Old Freak stopped peering around. He shook his head gently and sighed. “The person who forged this was extremely cautious. They did not leave behind any traces that directly connect to their identity. Even after trying everything that I’m capable of, I’ve found nothing.”

“Senior Warring, there was a battle here. Some traces must have been left behind. However, the likes of us are unable to find anything useful from here. Senior Warring’s cultivation exceeds ours, so you’ll definitely be able to find many things that we can’t sense,” the Cloud-rushing Ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Surrounding Void clasped his fist and said.
