Chapter 3611: Disciples of the Immortal Feather sect
Jian Chen shut his eyes slowly and closely recalled the names of the ten Hundred Immortal Commandants and the thousand soldiers he had received from the Thousand Immortal General’s seal.
“Is there anyone from the Immortal Feather sect here?” Jian Chen said slowly. All he could find out about from the seal was their names, which could be falsified. There was absolutely no record of their origins or background.
Jian Shiyi narrowed his eyes slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, “There are. Out of the thousand or so people that senior Chang Yang is responsible for, I know two who belong to the Immortal Feather sect, but they’re both Godking soldiers.”
“Call them over!” Jian Chen said.
“The two of them aren’t under my command. They’re under another Hundred Immortal Commandant, Yu Wencheng. I’ll call Yu Wencheng over right now,” said Jian Shiyi before looking outside the hall at one of the ten pavilions standing inside the general’s estate. “Yu Wencheng, the general summons you. Come immediately!’
A good while later, a bald old man in black robes entered the building at a steady pace. He clasped his fist towards Jian Chen who stood with his back towards him. “Greetings, senior Chang Yang!”
Jian Chen turned his head slowly and glanced at Yu Wencheng from the corner of his eye. He said emotionlessly, “With your speed as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch, you could have appeared here instantly, yet you instead chose to walk here slowly with the speed of a mortal, making me wait for you. Yu Wencheng, looks like you aren’t taking me seriously at all as your senior.”
“You’ve misunderstood, senior. I did that as a form of respect towards you, senior. I definitely had no intentions of disrespecting you,” Yu Wencheng said calmly.
“Call the two soldiers from the Immortal Feather sect under your command over,” said Jian Chen.
“The two of them are only Godking soldiers. May I ask why the general is summoning them?” Yu Wencheng asked cautiously.
Jian Chen turned around slowly and just gazed at Yu Wencheng quietly. He said nothing.
Under Jian Chen’s gaze, Yu Wencheng immediately felt a chill creep up his spine. He coughed gently to cover up his uneasiness and nervousness before asking carefully, “The two of them are currently cultivating, so it really isn’t a good idea to disturb them. Why don’t I call over two other soldiers instead?”
“Jian Shiyi, what are the punishments for disobeying a superior’s orders?” Jian Chen looked towards Jian Shiyi.
“According to the rules of the Observance Heaven City, subordinates must obey their superior’s orders unconditionally unless it has to do with their personal secrets and privacy. Disobedience will obviously come with its respective punishment.” Jian Shiyi stared at Yu Wencheng for a moment and said, “For situations like Yu Wencheng, he can be imprisoned for five hundred years according to the rules of the Observance Heaven City.
With a thought, his official seal immediately floated out of his body. Grasping the seal, he wrote an edict in the air through the power of the seal. “If that’s the case, then I’ll imprison you for five centuries, Yu Wencheng.”
Yu Wencheng’s expression immediately changed. Imprisonment in the Observance Heaven City was different from those major sects and organisations. Imprisonment in those sects and organisations was house arrest at most. It would not affect their cultivation. It would pass by with just a period of secluded cultivation.
However, not only would the city’s power restrain the entire body when imprisoned in the Observance Heaven City, but the environment where they were locked up was also a dark space devoid of energy or laws.
Imprisoned in the Observance Heaven City, they would be forced to remain conscious, unable to move or speak, forced to endure the centuries arduously.
Most importantly, they only served their post in the Observance Heaven City for ten thousand years. Time was extremely precious to everyone. If he missed opportunities that were originally supposed to be his during the years he was locked up, it would be a significant loss.
“Senior Chang Yang, I am an elder of the Ancient Sword sect. You can’t do this to me,” Yu Wencheng bellowed.
The Ancient Sword sect was an extremely powerful and mighty organisation. They were renowned throughout the entire Immortals’ World.
However, even when Yu Wencheng mentioned the Ancient Sword sect, it did not change his fate of being locked up.
In the next moment, the power of the Observance Heaven City descended and swept Yu Wencheng away.
At the same time, the eight figures seated in the other pavilions all snapped their eyes open. They first glanced in the direction where the power of the Observance Heaven City had descended before checking their seals for the newest information.
“Five centuries of imprisonment for disobedience, is it?”
They all found the reason for Yu Wencheng’s punishment through the seal. For a moment, the eight Hundred Immortal Commandants all became stern.
Soon after Yu Wencheng had been locked up, two Godking soldiers arrived before Jian Chen. They did not bow. They just stood there boldly, staring at Jian Chen coldly.
“You sure are disciples of the Immortal Feather sect. Despite being mere Godkings, you still strut around with so much haughtiness before an Immortal Emperor.” Jian Chen looked at the two Godkings with interest.
“Immortal Emperor Chang Yang, the ancestor has told us to pass a message onto you. In the Observance Heaven City, you can serve as a general gloriously, but when you leave the city in several thousand years’ time, it will be hell for you. Alright, we’ve already said what the ancestor has told us to tell you. You can lock us up,” said a Godking from the Immortal Feather sect. The rules of the Observance Heaven City were strict. Fighting was forbidden. Let alone a Thousand Immortal General, even the city lord had no authority to kill a soldier. As such, they did not fear Jian Chen at all.
“Who said I would lock you up?” Jian Chen ignored their threats. He sneered and looked towards the entrance of the general’s estate and said, “Those two watching the entrance just struggle to demonstrate the might and awe of the general’s estate. From today onwards, the two of you will watch the main entrance. Apart from the time you spend cultivating in the sacred land that I can’t strip from you, you’ll spend the rest of your time watching the main entrance.”
“However, soldiers of the Observance Heaven City only have a day each year to cultivate in the sacred land.”
The two Godkings of the Immortal Feather sect smiled coldly. They turned around and made their way towards the entrance.
“Getting Godking disciples of the Immortal Feather sect to watch the front entrance does seem to be quite nice.” Jian Chen smiled gently as he saw how the two disciples of the Immortal Feather sect were already standing at the entrance in an orderly fashion.
With his cultivation, it would truly be rather shameless for him to go after Godking juniors, but he obviously had to make an appropriate response with how far the Immortal Feather sect had gone.
“Immortal Emperor Chang Yang, Immortal Exalt Wei Qi has summoned you. Head over immediately.” At this moment, an attendant from the commander’s estate entered the general’s estate.
Jian Chen narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard that. Not only was Immortal Emperor Wei Qi one of the five commanders, but he was also his direct superior. He knew he had to go no matter what.
Otherwise, it was extremely likely for him to suffer the same fate as Yu Wencheng.
The Observance Heaven City had its own rules after all!
“Probably nothing good can come out of this,” Jian Chen muttered inside. Everything was within his expectations.
