Chapter 3780: Breaking the Rules
“Who am I?” Jian Chen smiled slightly in response. He stared straight at Xishan Yanlie and said, “Didn’t you hear my disciple refer to me as her master? You’re an impressive Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch, yet your ears don’t work?”
Jian Chen’s words were no different from a bombshell to Xishan Yanlie. Jian Chen had managed to tell he was an Immortal Monarch and accurately determine his exact cultivation with a single glance. Meanwhile, he was unable to see through Jian Chen’s strength at all.
On top of that, when Jian Chen appeared, the secret technique Xishan Yanlie had used dispersed silently. Clearly, the person before him had a cultivation far beyond his own.
“This person is a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch at the very least!” Xishan Yanlie guessed.
However, late Immortal Monarchs were only enough to strike fear into him. They were still nothing to the Xishan clan behind him.
“Fellow, I am a great elder of the Xishan clan after all. It’s quite disrespectful of you to talk to me like that,” Xishan Yanlie said sternly.
“You were even ready to take my disciple away by force. Why would I show you any respect?” Jian Chen snorted coldly and added, “Besides, who do you think you are? Am I supposed to show you any respect in the first place?”
Jing Feng became all jittery behind Jian Chen when he heard all this, seemingly afraid of matters developing out of hand.
After all, this was one of the three great cities of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, the Immortal Rising City. The Falling Cloud City came nowhere close in comparison.
Jian Chen’s words made Xishan Yanlie’s face darken out of anger. His gaze immediately became sunken.
“Sir, this is the Immortal Rising City. Regardless of who you are or where you come from, it’s best if you act with some self-restraint. The consequences of stirring up trouble in our Immortal Rising City is not simply severe. If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to ask around about the fates of the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master,” Xue Feng suddenly spoke up with a neutral tone. When he mentioned the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master, his face became filled with undisguised pride.
It was as if he was silently saying, “Look, this is our Immortal Rising City. Even Immortal Exalts will meet a bad end if they provoke us.”
Jian Chen’s gaze landed on Xue Feng. Under his cold watch, Xue Feng immediately shivered inside. Without any rhyme or reason, a tremendous sense of fear engulfed him inside.
However, he soon remembered that he was in the Immortal Rising City, so he immediately plucked up his courage, stuck out his chest, and yelled out proudly, “What are you looking at? Don’t tell me you want to break the rules of the Immortal Rising City and touch me? I’m not afraid to tell you that once you break the rules of the city, even an Immortal Monarch senior like you will still be arrested by the city guards.”
“How noisy! And just now, you passed an order to take my disciple away by force,” Jian Chen said. He opened his hand and pressed it towards Xue Feng. In the next moment, Xue Feng felt an irresistibly great force descend upon him. His knees dropped to the ground, and his kneecaps shattered. The excruciating pain made him pale.
Xue Feng immediately began seeing red. He stared at Jian Chen furiously as his anger burned. “H-how dare you…”
However, before he could finish his sentence, Jian Chen overwhelmed him with an invisible force.
Jian Chen seemed like he could not even bring himself to look at Xue Feng again. He said calmly, “Jing Feng, slap him!”
Jing Feng’s heart lurched. Was even the Immortal Rising City nothing in the eyes of Mumu’s master?
However, Jing Feng only hesitated for a split second before making up his mind, arriving before Xue Feng and raising his hand to slap him.
Slap!
With a crisp sound, Xue Feng’s mouth was slapped into a bloody mess. Teeth sprayed everywhere.
He was utterly furious. His eyes turned bloodshot, wanting to resist with all of his strength, but he was immobilised.
All of the onlookers in the surroundings were silenced by this sight. They were filled with surprise and fear.
The captain of a squadron of city guards was being slapped in public. That was ground-breaking news to them.
In particular, the master of this captain was the head commander of the city guards.
The subordinates that Xue Feng brought with him had already fished out jade slips to contact others.
“H-how dare you humiliate me like this! I-I’ll never let you leave the city alive…” Xue Feng was almost deranged as he said resentfully.
“Even a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal dares to make claims like that? How shameless. Though, if people like you remain, you’ll only lay your dirty hands on even more innocent people in the city,” Jian Chen said coldly. He peered into the past, immediately seeing through all of the deeds that Xue Feng had committed over the years.
In the next moment, a strand of sword Qi condensed over Xue Feng’s head, piercing his head and killing him on the spot.
Looking at Xue Feng who had already collapsed on the ground, Jing Feng was completely stunned. Even Xishan Yue was dazed.
For a moment, the appraisal fair became completely silent. Many cultivators seemed to realise that a storm was brewing. They had already begun moving away silently, afraid of being indirectly impacted by this matter.
“You’ve actually killed someone in the Immortal Rising City?” Xishan Yanlie’s face became extremely sunken as well. Their eight clans were part of rule setters of the Immortal Rising City.
“Only a tumour who has abused his authority to harm countless innocent cultivators. If I weren’t around, that disciple of mine would have suffered at his hand. A person like that only deserves death.” Jian Chen behaved like he had just done something insignificant. He looked at Xishan Yanlie and the others and said, “Now, it’s time for us to talk about the matter between us. Your Xishan clan wants to take my disciple away by force, just because you’re stronger. You want to turn her into a stepping stone for your first young master, Xishan Yue, to reach Immortal Monarch. I find this extremely infuriating, so your Xishan clan needs to give me an explanation that leaves me satisfied. Otherwise, I’ll have to pay a personal visit to your Xishan clan.”
Xishan Yanlie laughed in anger. “Over these years, I’ve seen countless arrogant people, but you’re the first one who happens to be this arrogant, sir.”
As he spoke, he suddenly said to the distance, “Elders, you can appear now.”
Five figures silently appeared in the distance. They were all Immortal Monarchs. The strongest among them had already reached the Eighth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Monarch.
The Xishan clan was located extremely close to the appraisal fair. They had all sensed the powerful sword intent and specially hurried over.
“Clear out!” the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch glanced at the confused city guards and said coldly.
The city guards shivered inside. Without any hesitation, they immediately began clearing out the surroundings.
At a time like this, the enforcers of the appraisal fair who appeared in the beginning had become completely useless. They withdrew with the crowd.
Very soon, the appraisal fair was empty.
“Sir, you’ve killed someone publicly in the Immortal Rising City. Clearly, you aren’t taking our rules seriously. With that being the case, I’d like to see if you have the right to ignore our rules or not.” After everyone had left, the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch old man said coldly. As soon as he said that, he turned into a streak of light and shot towards Jian Chen.
At the same time, the remaining elders set up a powerful formation, enveloping the entire appraisal fair.
