Chapter 3574: The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ Shock

Xiang Zhiru was shocked. After a while of silence, she stood up in the end, about to leave.

She did not go and find the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, as information that only he could provide obviously came at a frighteningly high price. Even if the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants could afford it, she could not mobilise the resources given her authority.

“Hold on, fellow!” The great elder from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets stopped Xiang Zhiru.

Xiang Zhiru halted and looked back at the great elder of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

“Fellow, you know the rules of our Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Since you’ve obtained information from us, you obviously need to pay.”

Xiang Zhiru frowned and said, “But you haven’t told me any of the information that I want to know.”

“But you’ve already obtained some information from us.” The great elder of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets looked at her seriously.

Xiang Zhiru was taken aback, but she realised what was going on shortly afterwards. She had indeed obtained some information, which was a more accurate designation for Jian Chen or the organisation behind him.

Xiang Zhiru left behind a Space Ring and vanished from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

In a paradise-like miniature world, an old man dressed in the uniform of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets stood with his hands behind his back. He was on top of a mountain that was about to be swallowed by the clouds. He peered deeply into the distant land.

The old man was ruddy and benevolent in appearance. He was sagely, giving off an otherworldly presence.

He was the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets!

At this moment, the great elder of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets who had been responsible for receiving Xiang Zhiru earlier arrived behind the pavilion master and bowed deeply. “Pavilion master, I’ve already done everything according to your instructions.”

“I already know. You can go now,” the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets said.

“Yes, pavilion master!” The great elder backed away politely.

After his departure, the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets gazed in the direction of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. His gaze seemed to pierce the endless space, bypassing countless obstacles, allowing him to clearly see Jian Chen inside the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

“Sigh, you still ended up acting with undue haste. The Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants will return sooner or later. What are you supposed to use to fend them off when the Immortal Exalts return?”

“The Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s situation in the chaotic sea is not exactly optimistic either. If something happens to him and he doesn’t return, you’ll truly be facing a calamity without the Grand Exalt’s deterrence.”

“Right now, you can only hope that the Samsaric Immortal Exalt can return to the Immortals’ World soon. Apart from the Samsaric Immortal Exalt, there is no one in the Immortals’ World that can protect the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

......

…

Xiang Zhiru returned to the Sword Region of Violet Heavens. Xiang Bai and those in charge of the other branches of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants did not leave. They all hovered in the air, checking again and again for any traces left behind.

“How is it? Did you find anything?” Xiang Bai asked impatiently.

The Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants looked at Xiang Zhiru.

Xiang Zhiru was a little dazed. She shook her head gently and said nothing. Instead, she communicated with the Immortal Emperors present with the senses of her soul. “There’s no need to search here anymore. Let’s return to the sect first. I have some clues that I have to tell you.”

Xiang Zhiru’s abnormal behaviour gave the Immortal Emperors an ill omen. They looked at one another and all saw the seriousness in each others’ eyes.

They understood Xiang Zhiru extremely well. As a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, her words were truly paramount in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Her authority was only second to the supreme ancestors.

Yet even she did not seem optimistic, which meant that the situation here was even more severe than they imagined it to be.

Very soon, the people from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants returned to the sect. As soon as they returned, Xiang Zhiru brought those in charge of the other branches into the high quality divine hall.

There were only four people inside the high quality divine hall. Each of them represented a branch. Apart from Xiang Zhiru and Xiang Bai who were Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors, the other two were at the Eighth Heavenly Layer.

“Xiang Zhiru, what exactly did you learn about from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets?” Xiang Bai asked as soon as he entered the divine hall.

Xiang Zhiru gathered her thoughts before saying sternly, “I obtained some information about the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Even though I don’t know what the organisation behind him is, there is something that I can be certain about. The organisation behind him completely exceeds our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”

“Exceeds our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?” When they heard that, the three others were all shocked.

“Xiang Zhiru, on what basis do you judge that their strength surpasses ours?” Xiang Bai asked sternly.

“That’s because purchasing any information regarding him requires the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.” Xiang Zhiru was solemn.

With that, the hearts of the three others in charge suddenly skipped a beat.

“Apart from the pavilion master, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets also has a vice pavilion master. It’s said that the vice pavilion master’s cultivation has already reached late Immortal Exalt. Normally speaking, the vice pavilion master will talk first. Only when there is something beyond the capacity of the vice pavilion master will they trouble the pavilion master. However, the matter regarding Jian Chen’s background directly bypassed the vice pavilion master and reached the pavilion master. Doesn’t that mean that the organisation behind Jian Chen is on par with a court of heaven? Or should I say his background is a court of heaven?”

“It might not be a court of heaven. There’s another possibility, which is that the organisation behind Jian Chen is not as powerful as we imagine them to be. They’re just extremely well hidden, such that even many peak organisations don’t know about them. As such, it requires the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to personally take action. There’s another possibility, which is that the karmic ties this matter draws in is extremely great, so it requires a figure on par with the pavilion master to handle.”

“Regardless of the outcome, this clearly is not something that we can decide. All we can do now is wait for the ancestors to return from the sacred clan. We have to let the ancestors decide this.”

......

…

Jian Chen sat on the sect master’s throne in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He felt extremely powerless. Ever since the news that the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had been divulged, he constantly felt the senses of souls circling about over the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. These senses of souls belonged to mid and late Immortal Emperors. As a matter of fact, he could even sense the senses of Immortal Exalts’ souls from time to time.

The protective formation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had not been upgraded. Instead, the original formation had been repaired and put to use again. It could only stop early Immortal Emperors at most. It was completely useless against mid or late Immortal Emperors, not to mention Immortal Exalts that were even more terrifying.

Even if he added a few additional formations that could block the senses of souls, they could not stop Immortal Exalts.

After all, the heritage of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was still too flimsy.

“Sigh, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens really has no secrets in the eyes of these experts.” Jian Chen had never felt so depressed before. He had already discovered multiple late Immortal Emperors that directly sent the senses of their souls into his Space Ring, such that they saw everything in there.

However, the truly precious resources had always been stored in the space in his soul, so the resources that he carried around on him were not particularly valuable.

“The strength of the Immortal Exalts whose senses of souls I can detect shouldn’t be particularly powerful. When it comes to Immortal Exalts who are truly powerful, as long as they’re just slightly cautious, I’ll struggle to detect the senses of their souls. I wonder how many people are secretly watching me.”

Jian Chen had the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, but he could not afford to use it right now. Otherwise, if those Immortal Exalts discovered that they could not spy on him, it would truly be problematic.

As a result, he could only use the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race to disguise his strength and presence as a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal’s.
