Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3549: Junior Brother Chen

Chapter 3549: Junior Brother Chen

In the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens that stood on the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Chen Shuzhi stood politely beneath the throne in the main hall.
A middle-aged man in black sat on the throne in the centre of the main hall that only the sect master had the right to use.
He sat on the throne in a very casual and relaxed manner and held a jug of wine in one hand, taking a sip every now and then. His presence was completely erased, fooling the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
“If you look at the time, that old Nong Fugui should have completely vanished from the Immortals’ World already. Shuzhi, your word is now paramount in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. No one can stop you anymore,” the middle-aged man said in black said casually.
“Great uncle, I struggle to find peace until I see elder Nong’s corpse with my own eyes. There won’t be any accidents in the operation this time, will there? After all, elder Nong has two great trump cards. These trump cards are enough to threaten Immortal Emperors,” Chen Shuzhi said uneasily.
The middle-aged man in black burst out laughing from that. “The stone golem and incomplete Great Spatial Sword Formation you speak of can only deal with early Immortal Emperors, but this time, our branch has paid a hefty price to hire two Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors and a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor to take action at the same time.”
“Before three mid Immortal Emperors, even if Nong Fugui uses all of his trump cards, it’s certain death.”
“As a result, you can relax. There definitely won’t be any accidents!”
The middle-aged man in black gave off a sense of great confidence.
When he heard that, Chen Shuzhi finally relaxed completely.
The middle-aged man in black continued, “However, once Nong Fugui dies, you have to do something that leaves our branch or even the entire sect satisfied. Once that old man dies, who knows if it’ll lead to the wrath of some major figures, so only if you've made enough contribution and demonstrated enough value will the sect stand forward and protect you.”
“You have nothing to worry about, great uncle. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will cease to exist in the Immortals’ World in less than a century. When that happens, I’ll lead the remaining disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to join the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. They will become a part of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.” Chen Shuzhi patted his chest and guaranteed.
“Alright, once you achieve that, not only will our branch take pride in you and our status rise drastically in the sect, but you’ll probably receive the personal congratulations from the greatest ancestor in the sect as well.” The middle-aged man in black smiled contentedly.
When he mentioned the greatest ancestor, Chen Shuzhi immediately shuddered inside. Shock and disbelief filled his face.
The greatest ancestor of the sect was like a god in Chen Shuzhi’s eyes. Even though he was not remotely qualified to meet with the greatest ancestor given his status, he was extremely familiar with what the greatest ancestor represented.
“Great uncle, there is something that perplexes me. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is already on decline and struggles to take a place in the higher circles anymore. Given the sect’s strength, why do they still care about the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens so much?” Chen Shuzhi asked in confusion.
The middle-aged man in black became rather melancholic. “This has to do with some grievances from the most glorious age of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Many seniors in the sect still struggle to forget some of their experiences from that age. I’ve even heard that some seniors have developed inner demons because of what happened in the past, unable to think things through, such that they’ve made no progress at all even after three million years of arduous cultivation.”
“Of course, perhaps there are some other reasons as well…” Reaching there, the middle-aged man in black paused. He stared at Chen Shuzhi brightly and said, “This has nothing to do with you, nor is it something for you to worry about. It’s best if you don’t find out about certain things. Just handle what you must.”
However, as soon as he said that, the middle-aged man in black shuddered violently. His expression changed drastically as well. Abruptly, he stood up from the throne. His gaze seemed to pierce the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens, staring beyond the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
“He’s actually returned alive? No, this is impossible. This is absolutely impossible…” The middle-aged man was immediately taken aback, almost losing control of his presence and letting it leak out. His expression changed rapidly.
“What happened, great uncle?” Chen Shuzhi stared at the middle-aged man in black in surprise and uncertainty.
“Nong Fugui didn’t die. He actually managed to return safely with Chen Shifang,” the middle-aged man in black said sternly.
“What? He didn’t die?” Chen Shuzhi was alarmed. He said urgently, “Great uncle, didn’t you say that no accidents would happen? H-h-how did elder Nong return peacefully then?”
“Dammit!” the middle-aged man in black said resentfully, “I don’t know what kind of accident happened. Three mighty mid Immortal Emperors actually failed to stop two measly Immortal Monarchs. I’ll go and investigate immediately.”
With that, the middle-aged man in black vanished silently, having left the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens already.
Before long, all the core disciples gathered in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens on the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Chen Shuzhi sat on the sect master’s throne with composure. Beside him were elder Nong and Chen Shuzhi.
Jian Chen sat in the position that belonged to the young sect master.
At this moment, everyone in the sect looked at Chen Shifang.
“Greetings from the disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Chen Shifang! Greetings, sect master! Greetings, senior brothers and sisters!” Chen Shifang smiled faintly. He clasped his fist and bowed towards everyone present. When his gaze passed over Jian Chen, an undetectable hint of respect flashed through the depths of his eyes.
“Junior brother Chen Shifang, it actually really is you. You didn’t die…”
“I didn’t think I’d still be able to see junior brother Chen after all these years. This is just fantastic…”
“Junior brother Chen, I heard you’ve already reached Immortal Monarch in terms of cultivation? Hahaha, now that you’ve made a mighty return to the sect, it holds an extremely great significance to our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens…”
......
…
Inside the hall, many Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal core disciples laughed aloud. Many of them looked at Chen Shifang in delight and relief.
Chen Shifang had become an Immortal Monarch now, but in terms of seniority, all of the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals present were his seniors.
“Chen Shifang, what is your cultivation exactly?” Chen Shuzhi asked, as he was completely incapable of seeing through Chen Shifang’s strength.
“Sect master, I’m a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch right now!’ Chen Shifang glanced at Chen Shuzhi deeply and smiled mysteriously.
Noticing Chen Shifang’s expression, Chen Shuzhi furrowed his brows slightly. He suddenly developed an ill omen.
“What? The Seventh Heavenly Layer? How unbelievable. Junior brother Chen has actually reached such heights…” The core disciples all sighed in amazement.
“Hmm? Junior brother Chen, from your complexion, you seem to be injured?” a core disciple noticed that something was amiss and immediately asked.
“Yeah. When I returned from the Observance Heaven City with elder Nong, we were intercepted by three Immortal Emperors along the way,” Chen Shifang said sternly.
