Chapter 3781: A Dramatic Turn of Events

He did not hold back. He used his full strength right from the beginning, wanting to heavily injure Jian Chen with lightning speed.

At that moment, the resplendent light seemed to engulf Jian Chen.

Jian Chen was calm. Faced with the great elder’s alarming strike, he did not make any unnecessary movements. He only flicked his finger gently, and a strand of sword Qi shot out from the tip of his finger.

Boom!

There was an explosion. The shred of sword Qi that shot out from the tip of Jian Chen’s finger seemed to contain devastating power. When the attack collided against the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch great elder from the Xishan clan, his blinding sword Qi seemed as fragile as paper. It was easily cut apart.

Shortly afterwards, the sword Qi from Jian Chen continued onwards. When it made contact with the great elder’s low grade god artifact sword, the weapon forged from extremely tough materials immediately shattered, scattering as shrapnel.

“T-this is an Immortal Emperor…” The great elder was alarmed. He immediately became solemn despite how relaxed he was earlier. However, before he could think too much about it, the remaining shred of sword Qi pierced his chest.

Spurt! Blood sprayed out from his mouth, and he became sheet-white. He fell out of the air, landing heavily on the ground and leaving behind a great pit.

A bowl-sized hole had already appeared in his chest. All of his flesh and organs there had completely vanished. Wisps of sword Qi lingered near the wound like maggots, constantly eating away at his flesh.

The expressions of the other Immortal Monarchs from the Xishan clan changed drastically. They all stared at their injured companion in shock and disbelief.

The first young master of the Xishan clan, Xishan Yue, paled. His heart trembled.

“Y-you’re actually an Immortal Emperor?” Xishan Yanlie who stood beside Xishan Yue was shocked as well. It seemed like he had never imagined that he would encounter an Immortal Emperor.

On top of that, with how easily he heavily injured an Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch, he clearly was not an ordinary Immortal Emperor.

For a moment, the great elders from the Xishan clan all sank into deathly silence.

“So what if you’re an Immortal Emperor? Even Immortal Emperors have to respect the rules of our Immortal Rising City…” At this moment, the great elder who had been injured by Jian Chen stood up. He took out a jade talisman and crushed it without hesitation. He stared at Jian Chen coldly and said, “I’ve already contacted the ancestor. The ancestor will arrive here very soon and handle this personally. Sir, do you really think you can do as you please in our Immortal Rising City just because you’re an Immortal Emperor?”

“Senior, it was clearly your Xishan clan who first tried to take us away by force, which forced us to act in self-defence. Even if we’re in the wrong, it wouldn’t just be us,” Jing Feng gathered the courage and said.

“Regardless of the reason, you’ve publicly killed a captain of the city guards in the Immortal Rising City. That alone will earn you the punishment of the city,” the great elder continued coldly.

At this moment, a tremendous presence suddenly neared them, immediately engulfing the entire appraisal fair.

This was the presence of an Immortal Emperor. When the presence appeared, many experts in the Immortal Rising City immediately sensed it.

“That seems to be Xishan Zhanyun’s presence? What is going on? Why has an ancestor of the Xishan clan been alarmed?”

“Don’t tell me someone has provoked the Xishan clan? But in the Immortal Rising City, who has the courage to go up against the eight organisations? Especially when the Immortal Rising City is currently at the height of their glory…”

“That seems to be in the direction of the appraisal fair being held currently. It’s a pity that it’s obscured by a formation, so I can’t see anything…

”

At this moment, many experts looked in the direction of the appraisal fair within the inner city. The Immortal Emperors of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance watched on from afar. They also sent their scouts over to gather information.

The formation arranged by the four Immortal Monarch great elders of the Xishan clan split open automatically. Shortly afterwards, a burly middle-aged man stepped in from outside.

“What is going on here? Why do you need my emergency reinforcement?” As the middle-aged man arrived, a gruff voice droned out.

He was Xishan Zhanyun, one of the two ancestors of the Xishan clan, a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor!

With Xishan Zhanyun’s appearance, the great elders from the Xishan clan present all let out sighs of relief inside.

“Brother Bu, are you injured?” Xishan Zhanyun immediately saw the great elder who had been injured by Jian Chen, and his face sank. Suddenly, he turned towards Jian Chen and said coldly, “Sir, why have you injured a great elder of our Xishan clan? How have they offended you?”

“You better ask them if you want to find out the whole story,” Jian Chen said with ease and composure.

“Great grandfather, he killed Xue Feng of the city guards. Xue Feng is a disciple of the head commander,” Xishan Yue said in a hurry. He understood exactly what he had done, so he could only focus on Xue Feng’s death in this situation.

Xishan Shanyun looked over. Sure enough, he discovered Xue Feng’s corpse nearby. He immediately frowned and said, “Sir, you are an Immortal Emperor after all. Aren’t you stooping a little low by laying your hands on a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal?”

“You better ask why this captain of the city guards died. Also, shouldn’t you understand in detail exactly what this first young master of your Xishan clan, as well as the Immortal Monarch standing next to him, were trying to do before this?” Jian Chen remained as calm as before.

Xishan Yue immediately paled, while the expression of Xishan Yanlie standing next to him changed as well. Seeing Xishan Zhanyun look over, Xishan Yanlie explained in a hurry. He evaded the main details. “Ancestor, this was what happened. I noticed that this girlie had the Sword Immortal constitution, which piqued my admiration for talent. Originally, I only wanted to invite them to our Xishan clan as guests, yet not only did they refuse, but they even killed a city guard…”

Xishan Yanlie did not mention the tip of the broken sword at all.

“That’s not what happened at all. You clearly wanted to take me and my grandpa to your Xishan clan by force. You wanted to force me into marrying your first young master of the Xishan clan,” Jing Mumu said loudly. Shortly afterwards, she took out the tip of the broken sword from her Space Ring and added, “Moreover, you even tried to take the treasure I just bought by force. If my master hadn’t appeared to save us, my grandpa and I would have been taken away by you already.”

Xishan Zhanyun subconsciously glanced at the tip of the sword in Jing Mumu’s hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

“Ancestor, none of this is important anymore. They’ve already committed murder in the Immortal Rising City, and it’s a captain of the city guards. If we don’t handle this according to the rules, it’ll be a significant blow to the influence of our Immortal Rising City,” the great elder injured by Jian Chen said sternly.

“Elder Bu is right. Ancestor, we should gather the seven other organisations and stamp out this person with overwhelming might. We should protect the influence of our Immortal Rising City,” Xishan Yanlie said.

Xishan Zhanyun nodded slowly and said, “You’re right. Regardless of why this happened, you’ve killed one of our city guards. Our Immortal Rising City demands an explanation for this.”

Xishan Zhanyun’s eyes gradually shone with battle intent. He looked at Jian Chen sharply and said, “Sir, face me in battle. If you can defeat me, our Immortal Rising City won’t pursue this matter today.”

“Zhan Yun, do not be rude!”

However, as soon as Xishan Zhanyun said that, a bellow exploded. Shortly afterwards, the formation around the appraisal fair was forcefully ripped open.

Xishan Zhanyun and the great elders present subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the sky. The vice city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Qiu Wanqian, rushed over from outside with a sunken expression.

“Brother Wanqian, what brings you here?” Xishan Zhanyun asked in complete confusion.

“Greetings, vice city lord!” The great elders of the Xishan clan all clasped their fists.

“Vice city lord?” When he heard what the great elders said, the expression of Jing Feng standing behind Jian Chen changed drastically.

However, Qiu Wanqian ignored Xishan Zhanyun and the others. He arrived before Jian Chen in a flash. Under the gazes of disbelief from the great elders, the vice city lord bowed towards Jian Chen and said politely, “Please forgive us, senior. I failed to take good care of your disciple. I let her be startled by this.”

Seeing how Qiu Wanqian almost grovelled before Jian Chen, not only were all the great elders of the Xishan clan stunned, but even the ancestor of the Xishan clan, Xishan Zhanyun, became dazed. He became extremely dumbfounded.

In particular, Xishan Yue and Xishan Yanlie felt like a bombshell had suddenly been dropped on them. They blanked out.

Who was Qiu Wanqian? He was the vice city lord of the Immortal Rising City, the left hand of Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. His status was extremely great.

In the end, someone like that actually behaved with such courtesy, which made them realise that the master and disciple before their eyes was not a pair that their Immortal Rising City could offend at all.

Jing Feng was stunned as well. Even the vice city lord of the Immortal Rising City treated Mumu’s master with respect. What kind of status did Mumu’s master possess?

“Looks like you already know about everything that unfolded here,” Jian Chen said without any expression at all. He seemed extremely calm.

Qiu Wanqian could clearly sense Jian Chen’s displeasure. He said in a hurry, “I’ve only just learnt about what happened here, and I rushed over immediately. However, please don’t worry, senior. Our Immortal Rising City will definitely give you a satisfying explanation for the matter today.”

With that, Qiu Wanqian turned towards Xishan Zhanyun and growled, “Zhanyun, what are you waiting for? Come and apologise to the senior. If you can’t pacify the senior’s anger, the city lord will be the last person to spare you.”
