Chaotic Sword God

“Then I won’t ask you to worry, senior,” Jian Chen said indifferently.

The cloaked old man was not bothered by Jian Chen’s attitude. He snickered and said, “ Yang Yutian, I have some doubts that I hope you could answer.” Reaching there, he paused for a split second, giving Jian Chen no chance to reply. He directly asked, “Who exactly are you? What is your background?”

Jian Chen furrowed his brows and said, “Didn’t I already tell everyone what my identity and background was? Why are you still asking this, senior?”

“You are an independent cultivator, yet you are able to kill two experts whose cultivations are higher than yours. You killed them consecutively as a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, and you don’t even fear the threat of the Wind clan. In all the years I’ve lived, I’ve never seen an independent cultivator like you.” The cloaked old man chuckled.

“I’ve already said everything. Whether you believe it or not is not something that I should be concerned with,” Jian Chen said indifferently.

“Hehehehe, looks like my strength as a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt still isn’t enough to pressure an Immortal Emperor junior like you. You don’t seem to hold any fear towards me at all. Yang Yutian, I really wonder what kind of trump card you have that allows you to remain so unfazed before me. After all, the Skyscraping World is an independent world, completely sealed off and isolated from the outside…”

“Whatever. If you refuse to divulge your identity and origins, I won’t make things difficult for you in this respect. However, I do have another doubt that I hope you could answer. Why does the treasured daughter of the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, Xing Caijian, treat you differently?”

“Senior, do you really like to ask about people’s secrets that much? If someone else asked you to directly tell them all of your trump cards and secrets, what would you do?” Jian Chen said rather impatiently.

“That would depend on who they are. If someone like the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor personally came to ask me that, I’d obviously tell them everything truthfully,” the cloaked old man said extremely seriously. Clearly, he was not joking. Shortly afterwards, his eyes lit up brightly under his cloak like two beams of light shining out from underneath, directly landing on Jian Chen. “I’m nowhere close to a figure as lofty as the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, but to you, Yang Yutian, I’m no different from the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor.”

“And as such, I should answer every single question you have for me? I’m supposed to tell you even my deepest secrets as long as you want to know?” Jian Chen laughed, looking at the cloaked old man like he was a joke.

“Yang Yutian, whether you’re a real or fake independent cultivator, you only have to understand one principle. In the Skyscraping World, even if you have some actual background, the people outside won’t be able to help you. With your strength as a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, even if you can kill Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors, you’re no different from an ant in my eyes. Those who know how to behave are clever. Offending me will bring you no benefit at all.”

The cloaked old man sneered slowly. “As a result, you best cooperate with me obediently. Tell me everything I want to know, without hiding anything.”

“And if I refuse?” Jian Chen smirked.

“Then I’m afraid I’ll have to capture you personally,” the cloaked old man said frigidly as cold killing intent radiated from him without disguise.

He was not a fool. Through the various signs, he had already realised that Jian Chen was hiding secrets, and these secrets were no different from a fortuitous encounter to others.

As a result, the cloaked old man had wanted to capture Jian Chen right from the beginning before turning him inside out and studying all of his secrets.

“You want to capture me? That would depend on whether you have the ability to or not.” Jian Chen sneered slightly. As soon as he said that, he activated the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and silently vanished.

The cloaked old man who was secretly building up power to seize Jian Chen with lightning speed was immediately taken aback. In the next moment, his powerful senses of the soul swept out, instantly enveloping a radius of a hundred kilometres, searching through every region closely.

At the same time, he raised his hand and pressed down gently towards Jian Chen’s earlier location. A great force appeared from nowhere, filling that region with the profound secrets of the way. The space within several dozen kilometres of him shook violently as if he was trying to force out everything hidden.

But after a while, the space continued to shake, but Jian Chen was nowhere to be seen.

He had already anticipated the cloaked old man would do this. As soon as he activated the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, he moved over a hundred kilometres away with the Laws of Space.

This was the Skyscraping World, which was covered in powerful formations. Not even Immortal Exalts were immune to the various forms of oppression, so a hundred kilometres away was a relatively safe distance.

Even the senses of the souls of Immortal Exalts could not reach that far.

On the other side, the cloaked old man’s face was rather sunken. When he noticed that Jian Chen had vanished, he shook up the space immediately. However, he still failed to force out Jian Chen, which left him rather surprised.

However, as a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the cloaked old man was very knowledgeable. He had already guessed that Jian Chen was not far, so he stood where he was and said, “Yang Yutian, you better not forget that two great elders from the Wind clan have died by your hand. If you don’t appear, everyone in the Skyscraping World will know about this before long.”

“As a matter of fact, once we leave here, the news will reach the Fierce Gales Heaven very swiftly and be known by the upper echelon of the Wind clan.”

“And you will become a mortal enemy of the Wind clan. I wonder if what you’re relying on can stop the Mistress of Contrary Winds from the Wind clan.”

The cloaked old man’s voice echoed through the forest. After saying that, he stood where he was and began waiting patiently.

On the surface, he seemed very relaxed, but secretly, he had already raised his vigilance to the maximum.

A minute later, there was still no disturbance in the surroundings. There was not even any movement in space.

“Don’t tell me Yang Yutian has already left?” The cloaked old man guessed. He was amazed by Jian Chen’s almost-perfect hiding ability.

After waiting for a little longer and seeing how nothing had happened, the cloaked old man turned around and left the place.

“Not only has he received the attention of the daughter of the heavenly emperor, Xing Caijian, he almost managed to slip away under my watch as a mere Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. Looks like this Yang Yutian is hiding quite a few secrets. If he really is an independent cultivator, then he must have had a tremendous fortuitous encounter.”

The cloaked old man searched through the foot of the mountain aimlessly. Jian Chen’s figure was like a brand, having been firmly imprinted in his mind. He was unable to discard him from his thoughts no matter what.

“The Skyscraping World feels both large and small. I’ll run across him again sooner or later. However, when I encounter him again, I have to strike swiftly and take him down as quickly as I can. I can’t give him any opportunity to slip away like earlier.” The cloaked old man’s eyes burned with interest as if Jian Chen had already become a fortune that belonged to him.
