Chapter 3788: Jian Chen Borrows the Formation

These people were extremely curious about Jian Chen’s identity as well.

“This senior must be a peerless Immortal Exalt to be personally received by the city lord so many times,” many of these people guessed inside. They revered him.

Inside the well-decorated guest room of the city lord’s estate, Jian Chen and Immortal Exalt Tan Yu exchanged pleasantries before getting straight to the point.

“If I’ve guessed correctly, the Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment will personally come here very soon, so I’ve come this time to borrow the obscuring formation the city lord used last time. I plan on having a talk with them in between the Immortal Rising City and the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment,” Jian Chen said with ease.

However, his casual words made Immortal Exalt Tan Yu shudder. His eyes were filled with a frightening light.

The events that occurred in the barren mountains last time were still vivid in his mind. Immortal Exalt Tan Yu could never forget it. Last time, he had only assembled the obscuring formation. Jian Chen emerged a few minutes later, while the Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts who entered the formation, the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master, seemed to vanish from the world.

Now, Jian Chen had proactively come to borrow the formation from him, yet his objective was to have a talk with the Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. Immortal Exalt Tan Yu seemed to realise what Jian Chen wanted to do. He struggled to remain calm.

After all, this was related to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, the peak organisation that ranked second on the Hall Brilliance Heaven. Their strength was far beyond the Void-perceiving sect and the Sword Sect of Mount Kun.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu sucked in a deep breath and looked at Jian Chen in a rather shaken manner. He smiled wryly. “Looks like you still haven’t begun to take the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment completely seriously. This formation is not particularly useful to me, so I might as well just offer it up to you.”

“I will return the formation to you once I’m done!” Jian Chen smiled and accepted the formation banners from Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. To him, the quality of the obscuring formation was still a little too low, but he could not find any better replacement for the time being. As such, he could only make do.

Jian Chen’s refusal to take the formation for himself left Immortal Exalt Tan Yu slightly disappointed. It seemed like failing to give the item away brought him some regret.

Shortly afterwards, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu also mentioned the matter of the Jing family in Falling Cloud City to him, wanting to confirm his thoughts about the clan.

Jian Chen was aware that if he expressed support for the Jing family at a time like this, the Jing family would receive a lot of the Immortal Rising City’s assistance and support in the future. They would truly have established connections with a lofty entity. Perhaps it still would not be enough for them to rise up to the very top, but at least they would be untouchable in the small region of Falling Cloud City.

Jian Chen did not give an immediate reply. He sat back in his chair in great comfort for a moment. When he recalled how cold and heartless the Jing family had been to Jing Mumu and her grandfather, he made up his mind and said indifferently, “Whether it’s that disciple of mine or her grandfather, they’ve both severed their connection with the Jing family. I will not be asking about the Jing family from today onwards.”

Jian Chen’s words without a doubt severed the Jing family’s only chance to establish connections with this lofty entity.

“I’ll be gone for a few days. During this time, I’ll have to trouble the city lord with keeping an eye out for my disciple.”

After another simple conversation, Jian Chen left the city lord’s estate with the obscuring formation he had borrowed from Immortal Exalt Tan Yu.

“Qiu Wanqian, I’ll leave the responsibility of Jing Mumu and Jing Feng’s safety for the next period of time to you. Remember, do not let events like the appraisal fair repeat themselves.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu immediately gave Qiu Wanqian orders after Jian Chen left.

“Please do not worry, city lord. I’ll guarantee with my own head that the two of them will not face any harm or grievance,” Qiu Wanqian said confidently.

In the forbidden grounds of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, located in the back mountains, three towers stood like pillars that upheld the entire sky.

These three towers possessed extraordinary status in the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, as the three Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment cultivated there.

At this moment, at the bottom of one of the towers, great elders Xia Zhilai and Fang Ziguang stood politely in front of a closed door of white jade with their heads lowered.

They had already spent several hours waiting there!

At this moment, the door of white jade suddenly opened up and a child emerged, saying to the two of them, “Great elders, the ancestor invites you in!”

Xia Zhilai and Fang Ziguang entered the tower quietly before reaching the highest floor of the tower under the child’s lead.

“Ancestor, the two great elders are here!” The child stood in front of a closed door and bowed courteously.

“You can go!” A woman’s voice rang out from behind the door.

“Yes, ancestor!” The child backed away politely, and the door opened slowly.

Behind the door was a circular space around three hundred metres across. The ground was engraved with profound inscriptions as dense spiritual Qi drifted through the place.

A middle-aged woman in white robes hovered in the centre of the room with her legs crossed. Above her head was a hole that led to the outside world. A beam of gorgeous sunlight poured through the hole, completely enveloping the middle-aged woman perfectly.

The middle-aged woman was one of the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, the Flying Leaf Ancestor!

The Flying Leaf Ancestor was the same as Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. She was also a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!

Xia Zhilai and Fang Ziguang arrived before the Flying Leaf Ancestor. After bowing, they reported everything that had occurred during their visit to the Immortal Rising City.

“The Energy-devouring Furnace and the Heaven-locking Chains are both in that person’s possession? And he even demanded for an Immortal Exalt of our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment to personally discuss this with him?” When she heard that, the Flying Leaf Ancestor frowned. Anger filled her face as her tone gradually turned cold. “Looks like this person is looking down on our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.”

“Did you find out about this person’s identity and background?” the Flying Leaf Ancestor then asked.

“So far, we’ve only confirmed that he isn’t from the Hall Brilliance Heaven. We don’t know anything else,” said Xia Zhilai.

“Since he could kill the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master with ease, he can’t be weak. It’s perfectly normal if we can’t find any information about a person like that.” The Flying Leaf Ancestor did not blame the two of them. “You can go. You don’t have to deal with what comes next either. Leave it to us.”

“Yes, ancestor!”

Xia Zhilai and Fang Ziguang bowed politely before backing away.

After they had left, the Flying Leaf Ancestor suddenly looked at one of the towers beside her. “Senior brother Space-purging, what do you think of this?”

As soon as she said that, a person appeared in front of her.
