Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3539: The Sect Master’s Identity (2)

Before the middle-aged man in black, Chen Shuzhi no longer had any sense of haughtiness as a sect master.
He bowed in an extremely submissive manner, showing respect from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, whether it was Chen Shuzhi or the middle-aged man in black with the cultivation of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, neither of them noticed that an extra person had silently appeared in the divine hall, Jian Chen clad in the Divine Armour of Heavenflight.

“Great uncle?” As Jian Chen stood in the divine hall and heard how Chen Shuzhi referred to the middle-aged man in black, he immediately became surprised.
His gaze constantly flipped between the middle-aged man and Chen Shuzhi.
As if he had thought of something, his lips curled into a mysterious smile.

In the next moment, Jian Chen turned around and made his way over to a corner in the divine hall, a place with an extremely optimal view.
With a flip of his hand, he took out a memory crystal from his Space Ring and began to record everything that happened here secretly.

“Shuzhi, what exactly has happened in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens recently? Why has a powerful presence suddenly appeared in the back mountain?” the middle-aged man asked sternly.

“Great uncle, everything that happened recently is all because of Nong Fugui.
Nong Fugui opened a secret space left behind by the Star Clustered Ancestor in the past and obtained a large amount of wealth, not just a stone golem with the battle prowess of an Immortal Emperor, but the Great Spatial Sword Formation that can trap Immortal Emperors as well.
As for the powerful presence from the depths of the back mountain, that’s the Immortal Devouring Orchid nurtured by the Star Clustered Ancestor in the past.
It’s survived all the way until now…” Chen Shuzhi gave a simple description of the changes that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had experienced recently to the middle-aged man in black.
After hesitating slightly, he raised his head and glanced at the middle-aged man.
He said in consideration, “After the battle with the four organisations, I estimate that the stone golem and the Great Spatial Sword Formation in elder Nong’s possession are only capable of dealing with early Immortal Emperors.”

“As for the Immortal Devouring Orchid raised by the Star Clustered Ancestor, I am unable to completely estimate its actual strength.
It killed four Immortal Emperors effortlessly, where one of them was even the ancestor of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder.
I don’t know if great uncle is able to tell the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s strength.”

“So it’s an Immortal Devouring Orchid raised by the Star Clustered Ancestor.” The middle-aged man in black frowned slightly and said, “The Immortal Devouring Orchid is indeed very powerful.
From its presence, it must have reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor a long time ago, only a step away from Immortal Exalt.”

“What? The Immortal Devouring Orchid has already reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor?” Despite knowing that the Immortal Devouring Orchid was very powerful, Chen Shuzhi still leapt in fright, widening his eyes and staring at the middle-aged man in black in shock.

But shortly afterwards, he seemed to recall something.
His face immediately changed slightly as he said rather uneasily, “Great uncle, since the Immortal Devouring Orchid is so powerful, you might have alerted it by entering the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens so rashly.”

The middle-aged man in black waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to worry.
I’ve used a secret technique to erase my presence.
The Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor plant still hasn’t discovered me.
However, does the plant currently listen to you or Nong Fugui?”

Chen Shuzhi immediately became pained when he heard that.
“I attempted to communicate with the Immortal Devouring Orchid, but it all ended in failure.
However, elder Nong seems to be capable of communicating with it.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid went after the four organisations this time mostly because of elder Nong.”

“The Immortal Emperor stone golem and the Great Spatial Sword Formation have both ended up in Nong Fugui’s hands, and the daemon plant can be persuaded by Nong Fugui as well.
What have you obtained from the Star Clustered Ancestor’s secret space as the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?” the middle-aged man in black said sternly.

“Nothing of actual value,” Chen Shuzhi said bitterly.

“You sure are a piece of trash as a sect master.” The middle-aged man sneered before directly making his way over to the sect master’s throne and sitting down boldly.
He gazed down on Chen Shuzhi from above and said emotionlessly, “Shuzhi, you’ve spent all this time as the sect master but look at the situation now.
Not only has the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens not declined, but it’s even showing signs of revitalisation.
You’ve truly left me far too disappointed.”

“Please calm down, great uncle.
It’s all because of someone called Jian Chen who appeared out of nowhere.
His background is extremely powerful, with a very strong master behind his hand.
Right from the get-go, he produced an Immortal Destroying Thunder that could heavily injure an Immortal Emperor, frightening away the ancestor of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder.
If it were not for his sudden appearance that ruined the plans, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would have migrated from here a long time ago, and elder Nong would not have been able to open the Star Clustered Ancestor’s secret space either.”

“As a result, Jian Chen is the person that ruined everything!” As soon as he mentioned Jian Chen, Chen Shuzhi began to ground his teeth.

“Jian Chen? Give me all the information that you have on him.
I will send people to investigate his true identity once I return.
Hmph, no matter how great his background might be, he’ll pay a hefty price for messing around with the matters regarding the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.” A hint of killing intent flashed through the middle-aged man’s eyes.

Shortly afterwards, he paused, and a hint of sorrow appeared on his face.
He said sternly, “My primary objective for coming here this time is not for this, but to tell you a piece of bad news.
Your third great uncle, Xiang Shan, has perished.”

“What? Third great uncle died?” Chen Shuzhi’s face changed drastically when he heard that.
He became stricken with grief.
“How did he die?”

“We still haven’t found Xiang Shan’s murderer yet.
The person possesses extraordinary strength and has erased all traces.
Even when Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors from the sect take personal action, they can’t find any leads.
By the looks of things, only by asking ancestors of the sect to take action personally can we find the murderer, but all the ancestors have gone to the sacred clan, so they won’t be back anytime soon.
Sigh…”

“Shuzhi, you’re definitely aware that our branch is regarded as outsiders within the sect.
Our status has always been low.
In the past, because you managed to become the sect maser of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, our branch received some acknowledgement from the ancestors and gained a little more authority.
But now, with the death of your third great uncle Xiang Shan, we’ve lost an Immortal Emperor, and our strength has decreased.
Our status has plummeted once again, and we already have rivals that are working against us.”

“Now, our status in the sect is truly under threat.
As a result, you need to make some achievements in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens as soon as possible to save us from our terrible situation in the clan.”

Chen Shuzhi was silent as if he was still submerged in the pain of losing his third great uncle.
Quite a while later, he said slowly, “Right now, the greatest obstacle is elder Nong.
If it were not for elder Nong, I would be the only Immortal Monarch in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, as well as the only person with the right to approach the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
Perhaps by then, I can attempt to tame the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
If I can get the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s assistance, then our authority in the sect will reach unprecedented heights.”

“The Immortal Emperor stone golem and the Great Spatial Sword Formation are both with Nong Fugui.
He is indeed the greatest obstacle right now.
Looks like he must be eliminated,” the middle-aged man in black said slowly.
His voice was chilly.

“However, elder Nong is an extremely senior member that has survived since the peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
He’s even met many significant figures over the years.
If he’s eliminated, would these major figures be angered?” Chen Shuzhi had many worries.

“Many people are worried about this, which is why he has survived until now.
Of course, it also has something to do with his mediocrity.
A mediocre person obviously won’t attract much attention.
But now, since he’s decided to take an active stand and become our obstacle, none of that matters anymore.
Eliminating him might be rather troublesome, but the organisation behind us can deal with that.”

The middle-aged man in black tapped the armrest of the throne rhythmically.
He shut his eyes and said in thought, “I’ll go and make arrangements to produce an opportunity to lure Nong Fugui away from here.
Of course, you might need to fan him on a little when the time comes too.
Apart from that, you have to try and keep the Immortal Devouring Orchid from leaving the sect.
With our strength so far, dealing with it comes at far too great a price.”
