Chapter 3573: Investigating the Murderer

The news of the eighty-one deceased Immortal Monarchs and ten dead Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants spread like wildfire, spreading across the entire Reverent Observance Heaven very quickly. All of the organisations on the Reverent Observance Heaven found out about it, which led to a great uproar.

After all, that was the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, a ruling organisation on the Reverent Observance Heaven. On the Reverent Observance Heaven, apart from the Observance Heaven City that possessed a special status and the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets that refused to become involved in any conflicts, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was basically a crownless king.

Yet in the end, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had lost almost a third of their Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors all of a sudden. That was basically like a megaquake to the Reverent Observance Heaven.

For a moment, many peak organisations on the Reverent Observance Heaven all directed their attention towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

“It killed ten Immortal Emperors and eighty-one Immortal Monarchs of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants alone. Is the daemon orchid from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens really capable of that?”

“That’s completely impossible. Among the ten Immortal Emperors that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants lost, one of them was already at the Ninth Heavenly Layer, and he wielded a high quality god artifact. It’s impossible for the Immortal Devouring Orchid from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to kill all of them.”

“The Immortal Devouring Orchid is just a cover. Someone else probably helped out secretly, or at least some of these experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants would have returned from the operation.”

“Interesting. Interesting. I can’t deduce anything regarding the new sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. That clearly means there’s an expert obscuring the heavenly secrets for him.”

……

…

The high-ranking members of many organizations on the Reverent Observance Heaven discussed the matter among themselves. It even raised the personal attention of many Immortal Exalts.

After all, the situation this time was different. When the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens destroyed the four surrounding organisations last time, that was only a small skirmish in the eyes of these peak organisations.

But this time, they had truly stirred up the hornet’s nest.

Several dozen figures hovered in the sky above the mountain range where they set up the ambush against the Immortal Devouring Orchid in the Sword Region of Violet Heavens.

These people were basically all experts from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.

Even the two Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors that were only second to the ancestors of the sect, Xiang Bai and Xiang Shiru, had come in person.

All of them were stern. A hint of undisguised killing intent and fury flashed through their eyes.

At this moment, they all stared at a middle-aged man in green.

The middle-aged man levitates in the air without budging at all with his eyes shut. However, the presence of ways flowed around his body. Unconsciously, he would emanate with a terrifying pressure enough to make the expression of any Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor change.

The middle-aged man was the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Desolation, one of the peak organisations on the Reverent Observance Heaven. Everyone called him the Desolation Grandmaster, a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!

“Sigh!”

A while later, the Desolation Grandmaster opened his eyes and let out a gentle sigh.

“Desolation Grandmaster, have you found anything?” Xiang Bai asked eagerly. His eyes were completely bloodshot.

“It truly is a pity. I’ve already used everything that I’m capable of, but I’ve failed to find what’s happened here. You can try asking the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, or you can invite an expert who has comprehended the Laws of Time and the Laws of Space to Immortal Exalt. They might be capable of revealing the past here.” The Desolation Grandmaster sighed gently before clasping his fist at Xiang Zhiru and Xiang Bai. After a simple farewell, he left without any hesitation.

Xiang Zhiru and Xiang Bai gazed in the direction that the Desolation Grandmaster had left in with ugly faces. A while later, Xiang Bai said sternly, “Did the Desolation Grandmaster really find nothing at all, or did he just not want to get involved, which was why he intentionally said that to brush us aside?”

“Hmph, it’s just like what I said. Those lofty Immortal Exalts try to befriend our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants during ordinary times. Some of them even suck up to our sect, but when we truly need them to help us out, all they know is coming up with ways to get out of the mess. Outsiders just aren’t as reliable as our own people.” Xiang Zhiru snorted coldly.

Xiang Bai sighed gently. “Actually, it is understandable. After all, they don’t have a background like our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. They obviously are fearful of becoming involved with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, refusing to establish any connections with them. None of the ancestors are around this time. We can’t peer into heavenly secrets of such levels with our cultivations as Immortal Emperors, or why would we have to ask for help from these outsiders?”

“Our priority is to get to the bottom of who killed so many people from our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. The Immortal Devouring Orchid from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens does not possess that ability at all.” Xiang Zhiru ground her teeth.

“Yeah, it’s a mere daemon plant, so how can it be capable of something like that? After all, just Dao Wuxue alone is stronger than it. Another organisation was definitely involved in this.” Xiang Bai sank into his thoughts and said, “I’d say this organisation is probably connected to the new sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Jian Chen. This child’s background is mysterious. He is from significant origins. And, it was also with his appearance that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens gradually recovered from their former depravity.”

“In other words, as long as we find out exactly what organisation is behind Jian Chen, that’ll be equivalent to finding out who the murderer of our experts are?” Coldness flashed through Xiang Zhiru’s eyes. She ground her teeth. “Who knows how long it’s been since our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants last suffered such a heavy loss. This is an irreconcilable grievance. Since outsiders are unreliable, I’ll go and find the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.”

“Yeah. Jian Chen is the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. His identity is rather special, so we still can’t go after him. As a result, we can only strike from other angles. Go. Pay the price and purchase the information from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. As long as we find out who they are, we can come up with some plans targeting them beforehand.” Xiang Bai nodded.

Xiang Zhiru vanished silently. With her strength as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, she reached the Observance Heaven City very soon. After taking out her entry tablet unique to the Observance Heaven City, she entered the place successfully.

Very soon, she reached the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets valued a guest like Xiang Zhiru quite a lot, so an Immortal Emperor great elder personally received her.

“I want to learn all there is to know about the background of the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Jian Chen,” said Xiang Zhiru.

The great elder of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets fell silent. A while later, he said hoarsely, “This deal has already exceeded my authority. You require our pavilion master. Fellow, are you certain you want to find our pavilion master?”

“What? We need to go and find the pavilion master?” Xiang Zhiru’s icy face immediately changed drastically in expression when she heard him mention the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. She felt disbelief.

“How is that possible? I only want to purchase all the information regarding Jian Chen. With his ant-like strength as a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, how can he alarm the pavilion master? What right does he have to alarm the pavilion master?” Xiang Zhiru struggled to maintain her composure, blurting out with her eyes widened.

The great elder of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets said nothing. He stood there calmly, gazing at Xiang Zhiru without becoming fazed.

Xiang Zhiru’s chest heaved violently as her heart churned. With her status, she obviously understood what kind of existence the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was. Xiang Zhiru struggled to imagine what kind of level the information she wanted to purchase touched on since it actually required the pavilion master’s personal attention.

After a good while, Xiang Zhiru finally placed her inner shock under control. “If I only ask who Jian Chen’s master is, what kind of price do I have to pay?”

“You’ll also have to ask that question to the pavilion master!” the great elder of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets said calmly.
