Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2498: Jian Chen Visits

The voice boomed out like a bell, right towards the heavens, from the entrance of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound. A powerful sound wave formed a visible ripple, surging through the mountains of the sect and shaking up all of them. It rang across the entire sect.

“Who’s this Jian Chen? I’ve never heard of him…”

“There are plenty of large clans and organisations who have come to our Daoist Sect of Divine Sound to propose marriage. Jian Chen is probably the young master of some large organisation or clan…”

…

Many disciples within the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound started to discuss among themselves. Only a few peak figures of the Saints’ World and some cultivators who possessed great information knew Jian Chen’s name. People like the regular disciples of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound had no right to know it.

After all, it was impossible for people to come in contact with information from other planes without a certain level of status.

When the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound heard Jian Chen’s name, their brows furrowed.

“Jian Chen? Why did he come?” Dong Wenxin wondered inside. She was familiar with Jian Chen’s name. Even though she did not completely understand everything about him, the mess he created on the Desolate Plane had shaken up the Saints’ World for quite a while.

He was a mere Godking. Even if he was a supreme Godking, he was still an ant-like figure in her eyes. Despite that, it was exactly this puny figure who managed to elude the search of countless peak experts on the Desolate Plane for many years with the Anatta Tower.

Just that alone amazed Deng Wenxin.

More importantly, not only did Jian Chen elude the peak experts for so many years, but he even managed to successfully escape after being exposed and hunted down by all the peak experts. Now, he had come to visit the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound openly, without any disguises at all.

Not only did Deng Wenxin develop deep curiosity about Jian Chen, but she also felt some admiration towards him.

This was because what Jian Chen did was unprecedented in the Saints’ World. Without any exaggeration, he had achieved a miracle.

However, when Deng Wenxin thought about Shangguan Mu’er and Jun Kong, she felt troubled.

Not to mention that the people from the Dao clan were still present. Of all the times Jian Chen could come, he just had to choose now, which made Deng Wenxin uncertain whether it was good news that he had come or not.

The three ancestors reacted differently to Jian Chen’s arrival. Meanwhile, joy appeared in Shangguan Mu’er’s eyes. However, soon afterwards, her heart sank.

“Jian Chen has actually come at a time like this. How am I supposed to leave now that he’s here?” Shangguan Mu’er became stern. As the master of the Zither of the Demonic Cry, she had gradually learnt about a few of the zither’s abilities. She was bold enough to publicly declare to the three Chaotic Primes that she would be leaving because she had the Zither of the Demonic Cry.

She could rip open space and leave with the Zither of the Demonic Cry, and no one in the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound could stop her. However, the problem was that it could only take her away.

Originally, she could have left whenever she wanted, but Jian Chen’s arrival had completely thrown her plans into disarray.

“Seal up the sect and forbid Jian Chen from setting foot in our sect,” Lian Qi called out and passed down an order with a sunken expression.

Due to Shangguan Mu’er, Lian Qi did not have any good impression of Jian Chen at all. As a matter of fact, he held great prejudice towards him.

However, the formation around the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound did not seal up the entire place like what Lian Qi had ordered. Instead, it opened up, and a rainbow bridge appeared near the entrance, extending to near the Cloudmoon Peak.

“The rainbow path is the greatest welcoming ceremony our Daoist Sect of Divine Sound possesses…” Gu Na’s eyes widened as she said in surprise.

“It’s the Wind Ancestor…” Deng Wenxin’s feelings were mixed. She turned around and glanced at the forbidden grounds of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound.

The rainbow path was specially prepared for when extremely important people visited the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound. Each time it was used, it would need the permission of the ancestors.

If they did not give permission, even the sect master would not have the right to use it to welcome guests.

However, three of the four ancestors of the sect were currently gathered here, and none of them had passed down such orders. Who else could it be apart from the Wind Ancestor who cultivated in the forbidden grounds?

“This Jian Chen really has received great respect to be welcomed with the rainbow path,” said Ge Tong of the Dao clan strangely.

Their Dao clan had also been welcomed by the rainbow path. After all, they came from an archean clan, yet now, Jian Chen who only possessed some renown in the Saints’ World had actually been welcomed with it as well.

Obviously, he had nothing to say if it were some other time. Whether the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound used the rainbow path or not had nothing to do with him. However, now that the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound had done that while they were present, it basically meant that they placed Jian Chen on the same level of status as the Dao family.

This obviously displeased Ge Tong, and even Ba Bu was dissatisfied by this. They felt like they were being taken lightly.

At this moment, a figure stood on the rainbow path leisurely with his hands behind his back. He allowed the light from the path to flow, taking him towards the Cloudmoon Peak.

The person happened to be Jian Chen.

Currently, Jian Chen stood there. His white robes fluttered as his long, loose, black hair danced in the wind. He stood on the path and seemed elegant.

Lian Qi’s expression became extremely ugly as he watched the figure on the path get closer and closer. It had become extremely sunken.

Jian Chen was definitely one of the people that he loathed and did not want to see.

“If it weren’t for Jian Chen, there would have been a great possibility of Jun Kong and Mu’er ending up together,” thought Lian Qi. Jun Kong was his proudest disciple, someone he treasured greatly. He naturally hoped for Jun Kong and Shangguan Mu’er to end up together.

Gu Na and Deng Wenxin both stared at the figure on the rainbow path. They had heard about Jian Chen a very long time ago, but this was the first time seeing him.

Even Ge Tong and Ba Bu could not help but look at Jian Chen. They came from an archean clan and had great access to information. They knew about the major and minor happenings in the Saints’ Worlds, so they had heard about Jian Chen’s name a little.

“Is this the person who upheaved the Desolate Plane?” Ge Tong and Ba Bu thought to themselves when they saw the elegant, composed Jian Chen.

However, Shangguan Mu’er’s gaze became extremely mixed.

“The energy of the world here is in disorder. A battle happened!” At this moment, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed. As a Primordial realm expert, he rapidly sensed the difference in the space there. He subconsciously locked his eyes onto Shangguan Mu’er.

Immediately, he saw Shangguan Mu’er’s pale complexion, the traces of blood on the corner of her mouth, and her bloody fingers.

Jian Chen’s face suddenly changed. They became utterly piercing as if sword intent was hidden within them. It was a chilling sight such that people did not dare to make eye contact with him.

He was no longer in the mood to wait for the power of the rainbow path to take him over slowly. The Laws of Space pulsed around him, and he vanished in an instant. When he appeared again, he had arrived before Shangguan Mu’er like he had teleported.

“Mu’er, who injured you?” Jian Chen held Shangguan Mu’er’s bloody hands painfully as his gaze became terrifying. His face was utterly sunken as heavy killing intent radiated from him, flooding into the surroundings. It interfered with the space there, seemingly turning that entire region of the sect into a domain of sword Qi.
