Chapter 3561: The Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords
“How dare you, Chen Feng. Is that how you speak to the sect master?” elder Nong’s face became stern as he bellowed at Chen Feng furiously.
Regardless of whether Chen Feng had betrayed the sect or if he had done anything detrimental to the sect, elder Nong refused to let Chen Feng speak to Jian Chen like that.
Only elder Nong understood that Jian Chen was not as simple as the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
Chen Feng was not angered. Instead, he stared calmly at elder Nong and said earnestly, “Elder Nong, Jian Chen has only arrived at the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens for so long, yet he’s already become the sect master already. Everyone is still left in the dark about his true identity and the organisation behind him. Elder Nong, have you really never suspected anything of him before?”
“Or should I say that you’re being threatened and due to certain reasons, you’re forced to do this?”
Chen Feng was completely undaunted. He was filled with confidence. When he mentioned the organisation behind Jian Chen, he did not show any fear either.
As a matter of fact, he did not even look at Jian Chen, acting as if elder Nong was the only person truly worthy of his attention.
Elder Nong opened his mouth. Right when he was about to say something, Jian Chen raised his hand and stopped him. Jian Chen stared straight at Chen Feng with a hint of interest. “Chen Feng, you just said that no one is bold enough to threaten you? Even in the entire Immortals’ World, there’s probably not a lot of people who can make such a bold claim. Shouldn’t you tell us exactly which organisation you belong to?”
Chen Feng met Jian Chen’s gaze calmly. At that moment, he stood straight with his hands behind his back in the centre of the hall. His face was filled with undisguised pride. “Since you want to know, then I’ll tell you. Listen up. I come from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords. I am an elder of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords.”
“What? You come from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords?”
As soon as Chen Feng said that, elder Nong’s face paled in fright. He stared at Chen Feng in shock and cried out, “The Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords from the twelve courts of heaven?”
“Exactly!” Chen Feng admitted.
Elder Nong’s expression immediately became extremely mixed when he heard that. He looked at Chen Feng with mixed feelings.
Standing on the side, Chen Shifang’s expression changed as well. The Immortal Sect of Myriad Heavens was one of the twelve courts of heaven. It was a tremendous existence beyond his wildest beliefs in Chen Shifang’s knowledge.
Both elder Nong and Chen Shifang had never imagined that Chen Feng was actually from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords. He was even a elder of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords.
Jian Chen was surprised as well. He studied Chen Feng and said with a slightly milder tone, “An elder of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords? In other words, you’re actually an Immortal Monarch. The person standing before me right now is a clone of yours.”
“It is not a clone, but my main body. I possess twin souls of heaven and earth. The heaven soul is in the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords, while the earth soul is standing right before you,” Chen Feng said.
“Then what evidence do you have to prove that you are from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords? When it comes to making empty claims, I can say that I’m from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords as well.” Jian Chen stared at Chen Feng with shining eyes.
Actually, when he learnt from Chen Feng that he was a disciple of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords, he was already convinced. There really were not a lot of people bold enough to impersonate someone from the twelve courts of heaven.
But for the sake of safety, he still wanted to confirm it in person.
Chen Feng snorted coldly. In the next moment, his entire presence suddenly changed. A hefty sword intent radiated from his body. Vaguely, it was as if countless swords had appeared in the surroundings, resonating together.
“This is one of the core cultivation methods of our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords, the Soul-refining Scripture of the Myriad Swords. Those who are not disciples of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords cannot practise this cultivation method. Otherwise, regardless of who they are, they will be chased down by experts of our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords.”
“The Soul-refining Scripture of the Myriad Swords should be enough to prove my identity.” Chen Feng looked at Jian Chen and continued, “Since you know my identity, shouldn’t you state yours now? Jian Chen, who exactly are you, and which organisation do you come from?”
“Master, this is a cultivation method from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords. There’s nothing wrong with this person’s identity. He truly comes from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords!” The twin swords’ voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head.
Existences like the twelve courts of heaven could use their cultivation methods to identify themselves.
That was because all sects, let alone the twelve courts of heaven, kept a close guard over their legacy cultivation methods, refusing to divulge them to outsiders.
After confirming Chen Feng’s identity, Jian Chen completely stopped worrying. Chen Feng had cultivated for several hundred thousand years at the very least, but he was still an Immortal Monarch. His talent truly was a little lacklustre.
However, this was extremely common in both the Immortals’ World and the Saints’ World.
That was because even in organisations with Grand Exalts, there were plenty of Immortal Monarchs who had cultivated for hundreds of thousand or even millions of years.
Even during their prime, after over ten billion years of accumulation, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens only had around a hundred Immortal Emperors.
Jian Chen stood up from the throne and made his way over to Chen Feng slowly. “My identity is exactly what you see. My name is Jian Chen, a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Of course, I am the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens right now!”
“Looks like you still refuse to state your true origins.” Chen Feng’s face sank.
“Chen Feng, the sect master is telling the truth. Since you’re a disciple of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords, I hope you can trust us and our sect master as well. As for any other identities that the sect master possesses, it truly is inconvenient to tell you,” said elder Nong.
“Elder Nong, do you really trust him so much?” Chen Feng stared at elder Nong.
Elder Nong’s gaze was resolute. “In the current Immortals’ World, the sect master is probably the person that I trust the most.”
When he heard that, Chen Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at elder Nong blankly.
Jian Chen spoke up at this moment, “As for my true identity, your esteemed sect will learn of it sooner or later. However, since your esteemed sect has arranged for you to come to our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, would you call it a form of secret protection?”
Chen Feng fell silent. Elder Nong’s blind trust in Jian Chen made him a little uncertain about Jian Chen’s true identity, but after a moment of hesitation, he still ended up answering. “My reason for coming here is only to gather news about the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. As for whether our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords will secretly protect the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, that’s not something that I know about.”
“However, in my knowledge, our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords will not protect the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Otherwise, before you appeared, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would not have been oppressed to such a miserable state.”
“If you hadn’t forced me to expose myself this time, I would have remained in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens as Chen Feng. Even if the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was forced to abandon its ancestral lands, I would not have stood forward as a disciple of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords.”
Jian Chen sighed gently when he heard that. He was entirely aware of why the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords’ attitude towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had changed like that. In the past, multiple authoritative great elders of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had betrayed the sect and defected to the Sacred Beast clan with the sect’s treasures. Not only did that leave many organisations of the Immortals’ World disappointed, but it also had quite a heavy impact on the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords.
As a result, not only was an ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords injured, but even the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords was forced to take action, becoming involved in a long-ranged clash with the old clan leader of the Azure Dragon clan.
That event had far too great of an impact.
It was also because of this that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens completely lost the support of the people in the Immortals’ World.
“Fellow Chen Feng, I’m sure your esteemed sect will learn about what happened here very soon. Please pass on the message that I wish to meet the seniors of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords.”
