Chapter 3513: Secret Escortment
The Immortal Region of Soaring Stars was one of the many immortal regions neighbouring the Sword Region of Violet Heavens.
At this moment, above a barren grassland in the Immortal Region of Soaring Stars, Nong Fugui of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens concealed his presence carefully as he shot off into the distance with great speed.
He remained stern the entire time. He did not lower his guard at all. He seemed aware that he would be in constant danger once he left the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
However, Nong Fugui was completely unaware that there was a middle-aged couple far stronger than him right behind him. They were using a special low quality god artifact to hide their traces and presence so that they could tail him silently.
The middle-aged couple were the great elders of the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, Bai Ye and Chen Yan.
Through the directions from their ancestor and their great strength, they caught up with Nong Fugui very quickly. They tailed him until he left the Sword Region of Violet Heavens and entered the Immortal Region of Soaring Stars.
From beginning to end, Nong Fugui failed to discover the couple.
Even though he remained on guard, the difference in their strength was far too great. Coupled with the fact that the couple had come prepared, Nong Fugui was left in the dark the entire time.
Dear, were already far enough from the Sword Region of Violet Heavens. Why dont we just do it here? Chen Yan looked towards Bai Ye beside her and asked. Shortly afterwards, she looked in Nong Fuguis direction, and an icy light flashed through her eyes.
Theres no rush. Lets wait a little longer. Theres a large mountain range around three thousand kilometres away. There are many immortal beasts there. It would be more appropriate if we strike there. By then, we can directly push the blame of Nong Fuguis injuries over to the immortal beasts. Wouldnt that be even more perfect? Bai Ye smiled.
Hehehe, youre still the most thoughtful one. That is indeed the most perfect plan. By then, we only need to disguise ourselves slightly. Probably even Nong Fugui wont be able to tell whether he was injured by immortals or the immortal beasts lurking there. Chen Yan giggled.
Thats a great idea, but unfortunately, you might not have the chance to carry it out.
At this moment, a voice rang out in Bai Ye and Chen Yans ears. Their faces immediately changed drastically as they came to a sudden halt, stopping forcefully mid-air.
A transparent barrier existed around the two of them. The barrier was the invisibility shield that they had created with the low quality god artifact.
As long as they remained inside the invisibility shield, even Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarchs could not find them.
The two of them saw how the invisibility shield was unscathed, and their hearts immediately skipped a beat. A chill ran down their spines.
An Immortal Emperor!
The two of them instantly estimated the person in hidings strength and became rather rigid.
I am Bai Ye and this is my partner, Chen Yan. We were unaware that you were cultivating here, senior, so we did not mean to disturb you. Please forgive us. Bai Ye was pale. He immediately clasped his fist and bowed towards the air, as he spoke with a trembling voice.
No, you didnt disturb me. Instead, I followed you here from the Sword Region of Violet Heavens. The voice rang out again. With that, a blurry figure silently appeared before Bai Ye and Chen Yan.
The space where the figure resided was twisted, which made him seem hazy and completely obscured.
His gaze directly pierced the invisibility shield created by the couple, allowing him to see inside.
The figure was Jian Chen!
As soon as the couple heard how the mysterious Immortal Emperor had tailed them over here from the Sword Region of Violet Heavens, they could not help but think of something. After a moment of hesitation, they asked carefully, Senior, have you come to deal with Nong Fugui as well?
As soon as they thought of that, they immediately let out a sigh of relief, but they kept their heads lowered and spoke carefully, I didnt expect senior to be the same as us. But youre completely correct, senior. With senior around, we obviously dont deserve a chance to deal with Nong Fugui.
Chen Yans nerves completely settled down. He reminded him with good intentions. Senior, were great elders of the Immortal Sect of Three Yang. We set out under the special instructions of our ancestor, who sternly warned us to only harm him and not kill him. After all, hes lived for far too long. Hes even met many significant figures in the past. Killing him might infuriate someone important.
Who said I came to deal with Nong Fugui? Jian Chen stared at the two of them coldly.
What? You arent here to deal with Nong Fugui? Bai Ye was rather stunned, but he soon thought of something, which caused his face to change. Without any hesitation, he knocked Chen Yan away resolutely with a palm strike. At the same time, he bellowed out, Ignite your essence blood! Leave!
Chen Yan flew off like a broken kite. In the next moment, she ignited her essence blood without any hesitation, planning to flee as quickly as she could.
Youre mere Immortal Monarchs, yet you still think you can escape from me? What a joke. Jian Chens eyes turned cold as he glanced past Chen Yan murderously.
In the next moment, the space where Chen Yan resided cracked. Black spatial cracks spread out, turning into blades that could slice through anything before passing through Chen Yans body.
Before these spatial blades, Chen Yan was as feeble as an infant despite her cultivation as a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch. She did not even have the power to resist. She was immediately sliced to pieces before having all of her remains sucked into the spatial cracks. She was dead.
After personally witnessing Chen Yans fate, Bai Ye was frightened out of his wits, as he had already realised that the Immortal Emperor before him was an expert who had grasped the Laws of Space.
Before an expert like that, he did not even have the courage to flee anymore.
Spare me, senior, spare me... Bai Ye immediately began to beg.
Spare you? Your fate was already decided the moment you planned on touching elder Nong. Jian Chens gaze was cold, without any sympathy. Shortly afterwards, a spatial blade immediately slashed towards Bai Ye with a swing of his hand.
Elder Nong? Why would an Immortal Emperor refer to someone unimportant like Nong Fugui like that? A thought flashed through Bai Yes head, but before he could think too much about it, his consciousness vanished.
In the next moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid appeared and swallowed Bai Yes corpse in a single gulp.
After killing the couple, Jian Chen did not return to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He erased all the traces he had left behind using his methods as an Immortal Emperor before hiding and continuing to tail elder Nong, protecting him in secret.
Elder Nongs destination was very far away. He crossed several immortal regions and travelled for many days before finally entering a bustling city.
He moved through the city with familiarity before entering an extremely large estate in the end.
Jian Chen stood on a mountain ten thousand kilometres away from the city. He stared at the estate from afar. He could tell with a single glance that the estate was also a powerful organisation. Not only was spiritual Qi extremely abundant in the estate, but the entire place was protected by a powerful formation too.
The formation was powerful enough to stop mid Immortal Emperors!
The formation was much stronger than the Immortal Sect of Three Yangs formation. Jian Chen could not force his way in with the senses of his soul, or he would definitely alert the people inside.
However, that was not enough to stop Jian Chen. He put on the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and vanished like he had entered a different space altogether.
