Chapter 3524: The Reason Behind Taihang’s Death

“For the sake of living, you don’t even care about dignity or backbone. Righteous Bearing, I sure have underestimated you.” Jian Chen stood before the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor with his arms crossed. He did not make an attempt to hide the mockery in his voice.

As if the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor could not hear Jian Chen’s sarcasm, he clasped his fist and said, “Senior could instantly kill a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor like Xiang Shan. Senior is so powerful that I’m willing to submit. With senior’s strength, I probably would not be able to escape either if you truly tried to kill me.”

“But right now, not only has senior left me unscathed, but you’ve even said some things devoid of any meaning. As a result, I suspect that I still serve some purpose to senior.”

“As a result, I can guarantee to senior right here that as long as you spare me, I’m willing to serve you like a dog.”

When he reached there, Righteous Bearing bowed deeply towards Jian Chen.

“Once you serve me, that’ll be equivalent to defecting to my Wind clan. Righteous Bearing, have you thought through everything?” Jian Chen said.

“The Wind clan? Don’t tell me it’s the Wind clan of the Extreme Winds Heaven?” The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor was surprised. Suddenly, he looked towards Jian Chen as the light in his eyes leapt violently.

“Which other Wind clan is bold enough to directly kill an Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?” Jian Chen did not answer him. He did not directly admit it, but it did confirm the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s guesses.

“Since you are from the Wind clan, why did you suddenly kill a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants? In my knowledge, the Wind clan of the Extreme Winds Heaven has never had any contact with the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants,” the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor asked in confusion.

“That’s only the case on the surface. Enough, stop asking so much. Knowing too much won’t bring you any benefit at all. Righteous Bearing, it’s time for you to make your choice.” Jian Chen stared brightly at the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor.

The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor immediately became uneasy. He felt extremely conflicted inside. He had never thought that he would become sucked into the conflict of two colossal existences somehow, yet he just happened to have witnessed Immortal Emperor Xiang Shan’s death. He had witnessed something he should not have. He could no longer distance himself from this situation.

After a moment of consideration, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor made up his mind and said, “Alright, I’m willing to stand with the Wind clan and serve the Wind clan like a dog.”

“It’s not that easy if you want to join my Wind clan. With your strength as an Immortal Emperor, you need to offer up the head of an Immortal Monarch of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens at the very least as a demonstration of your determination,” Jian Chen said.

The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor immediately became troubled. He said with great difficulty, “Senior, the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens only has two Immortal Monarchs right now, and they possess an Immortal-destroying Thunder that can kill Immortal Emperors. They’re also under the secret care of some experts. If I barge in recklessly, I’ll probably cause great trouble for the Wind clan.”

The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor did not develop any doubts when he was faced with Jian Chen’s strange request. After all, the Wind clan had grievances with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. This was a secret that had ceased to be a secret a long time ago in the upper echelon of the Immortals’ World.

After suffering from the grief of losing her son, the Mistress of Contrary Winds from the Wind clan experienced a drastic change in behaviour. She was infamous as a mad woman in the Immortals’ World.

“Yeah, that does make sense, but you need to show your determination by crossing the point of no return if you want to join my Wind clan. This is the rule personally set down by the ancestor.” Jian Chen stared at the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor with interest as his gaze gradually sharpened. He said coldly, “Righteous Bearing, you’re a sensible man. I’m sure you don’t wish to become an enemy of the Wind clan. You know the consequences of that.”

The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor began to sweat profusely. He said with a pale face, “Is there any other way? I can’t bring you the head of an Immortal Monarch from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens right now, but I did partake in an operation against the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the past. I didn’t kill him, but it was equivalent to an Immortal Emperor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens dying at my hand.”

“Really? Let’s hear about it.” Jian Chen’s eyes flashed with cold light.

“This person was my sworn brother in the past, as well as one of the three Immortal Emperors of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Immortal Emperor Taihang. In the past, Immortal Emperor Taihang left the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with a group of disciples. He planned on venturing to another heaven in hiding so that he could preserve the lineage of the sect. Taihang bade farewell to me before he left, so I was the only one who knew about this. Afterwards, I divulged Immortal Emperor Taihang’s tracks, which led to the failure of this plan.”

“Senior, may I ask if this is enough to show my commitment to joining the Wind clan?” The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor stared at Jian Chen nervously.

Jian Chen said nothing. He simply stood there and gazed at the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor quietly.

He only stared at the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor the entire time and said nothing at all. There was no expression on his face either. His icy-cold gaze gave the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor chills.

“Senior, is something wrong?” the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor asked with uncertainty.

“It’s fine,” Jian Chen replied indifferently.

The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor let out a sigh of relief inside, but at this moment, Jian Chen suddenly swung his hand at him.

Without any prior signs, a powerful strand of sword Qi directly bypassed his flesh and appeared in his body out of nowhere before erupting violently. The powerful sword Qi sliced the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s organs to pieces. All of his bones shattered, which made him collapse on the spot.

Spurt!

Blood sprayed into the air from the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s mouth. His face became sheet-white.

Moreover, the sword Qi moved through his body, worming straight into his brain as it tore through all obstacles and pierced his soul viciously.

The agony from his soul was beyond what the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor could endure. He could not help but let out a shrill cry.

With that, two-thirds of his soul was torn apart.

Jian Chen’s Shadowless Lifetaking Strike was usually used in battles against enemies at a higher cultivation level than him. He used it for dealing with opponents stronger than him. He rarely ever used it on weaker existences.

As a result, the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike directly claimed most of the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s life. He was on the verge of death.

“Why? Why? I clearly already agreed to join the Wind clan. Why are you still killing me?” The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor let out furious roars through the pain, unable to accept this.

Jian Chen stared at the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor coldly and sneered. “Actually, I’m not from the Wind clan. My true identity is a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. You were behind the death of a great elder of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Tell me, how can I spare you?”

The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s face hardened. Jian Chen’s words were so impactful that he temporarily forgot the ripping pain in his soul.

However, before he could think too much about it, Jian Chen used his fingers like a sword and directly cut off the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s head. A strand of sword Qi instantly tore apart the remaining part of the his soul.
