Chapter 2279: The News from the Azure Peng King
“These outsiders are becoming more and more reckless. They even went to the Celestial Sword Saints’ Sword God Mountains…”
“They are far too confident. They think they can do whatever they want, striking fear in everyone’s hearts as long as they mention the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. However, they need to consider who the Celestial Sword Saint is…”
“Hmph, these outsiders can indeed overwhelm us if they work together, but the Celestial Sword Saint has never taken them seriously…”
“These outsiders sure were cautious. They visited the Sword God Mountains politely and did not barge in forcefully. Otherwise, I think we will see over a dozen heads fly into the air…”
“Sigh, what a pity. The Celestial Sword Saint didn’t actually take action…”
When the Celestial Sword Saint demonstrated his courage and forced the peak experts to retreat in low spirits, the native experts and important figures of various organisations all allowed their senses of their souls to meet. They discussed with one another, feeling extremely satisfied.
There was also a tiny portion of pity.
In the past few days, they, the peak organisations that originally reigned over the Desolate Plane, had been searched fearlessly by these outsiders under the name of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. They had already begun to nurse grievances as they became furious over the whole matter. However, they were helpless because of their strength and their fear towards the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
The Celestial Sword Saint’s impressive reply finally allowed these peak organisations to feel proud and satisfied again.
“It’s just a pity that the Celestial Sword Saint only cares about cultivation and none of the worldly matters, making it impossible for him to interfere with any of the conflicts on the Desolate Plane. Otherwise, these outsiders would not act so brazenly as long as he stood forward…”
“What do you know? He’s what you truly call a sage who stands above all…”
Some peak experts expressed their disappointment over how the Celestial Sword Saint allowed these outsiders to act as they pleased on the Desolate Plane.
When the outsiders truly sensed the Celestial Sword Saint’s strength, they became slightly more obedient, unwilling to set foot in the Sword God Mountains again.
However, their search for Jian Chen still continued.
Three months later, when there were only two months until the competition between the candidates for Chosen Saint, the outsiders finally gradually lost their patience. There were so many of them, and they had turned over every stone on the Desolate Plane several times, yet they had still failed to find any trace of Jian Chen. Gradually, more and more of them began to waver and believe the rumour that Jian Chen had already fled the Desolate Plane.
As a result, a few clans were ready to pull out from the search on the Desolate Plane.
“Jian Chen is still on the Desolate Plane!”
However, just when they were about to leave, a voice rang out far and wide from outer space.
The azure-robed, sheet-white Azure Peng King hovered beyond the Desolate Plane. His eyes were vicious as heavy killing intent revolved around him.
“Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, how are you certain that Jian Chen is on the Desolate Plane?” An outsider asked from the Desolate Plane. He did not speak loudly, but it crossed the huge distance, allowing the Azure Peng King to hear his words clearly.
“I was once in possession of Jian Chen’s blood. With the blood, I used secret techniques several times to search for him. Even though I no longer have the blood, I still have a vague sense of his traces, which is why I’m certain that Jian Chen is still on the Desolate Plane,” said the Azure Peng King.
“Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, where is Jian Chen then?” The outsiders on the Desolate Plane all became interested when they heard that.
They had searched for so long, and finally, they were about to find where Jian Chen was hidden.
However, many of the experts felt admiration towards Jian Chen at the same time. He was a puny Godking, yet he could avoid so many peak experts until now. Not everyone could accomplish something like that.
“If I still had a droplet of Jian Chen’s blood, it would be very easy to find him on the Desolate Plane. However, I’ve already lost the blood now. My ability to sense him comes from the last time I used the secret technique. However, this feeling has become fainter and fainter. It’ll vanish completely within three years at most,” the Azure Peng King said from outer space.
He knew that once he completely lost track of Jian Chen, it would truly be impossible for him to find Jian Chen in the vast Saints’ World. As a result, having run out of options, he could only reveal this information.
“Jian Chen, even if I can’t get the Anatta Tower, I will never leave you alive,” the Azure Peng King thought to himself. He was a vengeful person. Once someone wronged him, he would never miss a single chance to kill them unless they were powerful to the point where he could do nothing to them like the Celestial Sword Saint.
Even towards the Celestial Sword Saint, he harboured bitter resentment. If there was a day where he was more powerful than the former, or if the opportunity ever presented itself, he would attack the Celestial Sword Saint without any hesitation.
“And who was that black-robed man accompanying Jian Chen in the miniature world before? Once the matters here end, I’ll definitely find out about your true identity,” thought the Azure Peng King. He also bore grudges towards Mo Tianyun from being hunted down last time.
The news from the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance immediately made all the outsiders dismiss the thought of retreating while the rumour that Jian Chen had already left the Desolate Plane vanished. Immediately, the experts on the Desolate Plane began to search for Jian Chen one last time in greater detail.
“Jian Chen has hidden very well. He has used a treasure to disguise his identity and presence. It’s impossible to find him through regular methods. However, no matter how he hides, it’s very difficult for him to disguise his blood…”
“It’s impossible to peer into Jian Chen’s past and future, but even if that’s the case, we’ll just search all the Godkings and Infinite Primes on the Desolate Plane one by one. As long as we find someone that we cannot peer into, we’ll interrogate them immediately…”
“That’s right. We’ll go through them one by one and do one last search. If we fail to find him after the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance’s connection to Jian Chen vanishes, we’ll give up on it then…”
“Let’s take action personally and personally peer into those who are Godkings or above. We’ll directly check the blood of those below Godkings, just in case he has concealed his strength and mingled among the weaker cultivators. I refuse to believe we can’t find him like this…”
“Let’s do it for the last time then. Who finds Jian Chen and obtains the Anatta Tower in the end will be up to luck…”
The peak experts made up their minds. After all, the Desolate Plane was so vast, and there were so many Godkings. Even with how great their cultivations were, checking every single Godking would be exhausting for them.
This time, they had truly made up their minds.
