Chapter 3563: Punitive Expedition Against the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder (2)

“Chillsky grass… Sword Sect of Startling Thunder!” Jian Chen murmured. His lips soon formed a strange smile as he said, “Elder Nong, how much does the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder still owe us?”
“In the past, the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder took many things away from our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens through their schemes. Let alone everything else, just the Seven-coloured Sword Lotuses that we provided them came at a great cost to our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.” Elder Nong ground his teeth when he recalled the matters of the past.
“I know a little bit about the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder’s situation. They have two Immortal Emperors in total, which are Lei Yunxing and Lei Ba. Lei Yunxing is a peak Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, while Lei Ba is a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. In terms of strength, the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder is nowhere near as powerful as the three Immortal Emperors that intercepted us back then,” said Chen Shifang. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. “Sect master, are we going to kill our way over to the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder?”
“Chen Shifang, your information is a little outdated. One of the Immortal Emperor ancestors of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder was already killed by us a few days ago. The Sword Sect of Startling Thunder is only left with a single Immortal Emperor now.” Elder Nong smiled.
Chen Shifang’s eyes lit up. “Only one Immortal Emperor left? Then we don’t have to worry about the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder at all.”
“Elder Nong, gather some disciples. We’re going to pay a visit to the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. We don’t need too many people. Just a few hundred will do. Their cultivations should be above Golden Immortal. Their primary task is not to fight. They only need to handle miscellaneous matters,” Jian Chen turned over to elder Nong and said.
“Yes, sect master!”
Elder Nong accepted the order. In the next moment, the senses of his soul immediately burst through the air and immediately enveloped the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, directly passing on Jian Chen’s order to numerous disciples.
Disciples rose up from the various peaks of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens one by one, quickly gathering on the main peak.
Meanwhile, Jian Chen arrived in the back mountain of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with elder Nong and Chen Shifang. All he saw was the Immortal Devouring Orchid rooted on a boulder, having shrunk to around a metre tall. It seemed like a regular flower.
Gazing at the Immortal Devouring Orchid, a hint of respect appeared in elder Nong’s eyes, while Chen Shifang was stern. He sensed a powerful threat from the Immortal Devouring Orchid before his eyes, which gave him chills.
Jian Chen smiled gently. He raised his arm, and the Immortal Devouring Orchid rooted on the boulder shrank once again, becoming a tiny vine. It wrapped around Jian Chen’s wrist in an extremely natural manner, such that it seemed like an extremely ordinary bracelet.
“Sect master, t-t-this senior daemon orchid is actually so close to you.”
Elder Nong’s eyes immediately narrowed from this sight. In a daze, he seemed to realise something.
Jian Chen laughed. He looked at the Immortal Devouring Orchid wrapped around his wrist and said, “Elder Nong, I nurtured this Immortal Devouring Orchid. It followed me from when it was still a seed. If it’s not close to me, who is it supposed to be close to?”
“As for why it emerged from the Star Clustered Ancestor’s miniature world.” Reaching there, Jian Chen smiled strangely. “That’s because I intentionally left it there when I entered the miniature world.”
“I see!” Elder Nong came to a realisation. After learning about the true origins of the Immortal Devouring Orchid, he did not feel any dejection at all. Instead, he became filled with anticipation.
It was anticipation for the future.
“Ever since the young ancestor arrived, everything seems to be changing.”
Before long, an immortal vessel rose up from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, radiating with the pressure of a low quality god artifact. Afterwards, it turned into a streak of light and shot off in the direction of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. It moved extremely quickly.
Several tens of million kilometres away from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, a series of ancient structures stood quietly within a mountain range rich in spiritual Qi.
This was the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder!
A barrier created by a formation draped down naturally over the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, radiating with powerful energy ripples as it protected the entire sect.
In the back mountain of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, within a forbidden ground that no disciple was allowed to enter. In this place, the last ancestor of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, Lei Ba, stood on a cliff alone. He gazed at the landscape in the distance sternly. There was worry on his face that refused to go away.
“Ancestor, the protective formation of the sect has already been operating at full strength for several days. It consumes a tremendous amount of energy daily. We can sustain it for a short period of time, but it’s detrimental to the development of our sect as time goes on. Can we partially close the sect formation?” an Immortal Monarch great elder asked with his fist cupped behind Lei Ba.
“That won’t be necessary. Keep it as it is. Without my orders, no one is permitted to weaken the formation arbitrarily,” Lei Bai answered sternly.
“Ancestor, are you worried about the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?” the great elder behind him asked in a probing manner.
Lei Ba remained silent.
“Ancestor, we don’t have any irreconcilable grievances with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. It’s mostly a conflict of interest. If the worst comes to worst, we’ll just return everything that we took from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in full.”
“I hope so too. However, this matter probably won’t be so simple.” Lei Ba’s voice was solemn. At this moment, only he in the entire Sword Sect of Startling Thunder knew that their strongest ancestor, Lei Yunxing, was already dead.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a deafening rumble. The sky above the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder twisted violently. A terrifying shockwave that was enough to make Lei Ba pale spread through the sky as if it wanted to tear it apart completely.
At that moment, the entire Sword Sect of Startling Thunder seemed like it was facing an apocalypse. The mountains collapsed as the ground cracked open.
“They’ve still ended up coming after all.” Lei Ba immediately became unprecedentedly stern as he stood on the cliff in the back mountain of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder.
As soon as he said that, the formation that protected the entire sect was ripped open with a great commotion, immediately becoming exposed to the azure sky outside. The Sword Sect of Startling Thunder had viewed this formation as their final line of defence.
The first thing that entered his view was an Immortal Devouring Orchid several tens of thousand metres tall. Its tendrils turned into colossal vines, tearing apart from the protective formation of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder with ease like it was wallpaper.
Countless disciples raised their heads in the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. When they saw the Immortal Devouring Orchid radiating with startling might, their stunned faces immediately became filled with fear.
At the same time, an immortal vessel flew in through the entrance of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder as if no one was around. No one tried to stop it along the way.
In the end, the immortal vessel stopped above the main hall of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, looming over the entire place like they were more noble than everyone here.
The immortal vessel was filled with disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. There were several hundred of them in total. Even though their cultivations were not particularly high, their faces were filled with pride as they gazed down on the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder.
