Chapter 3599: The Wayless Immortal Exalt
Many people from peak organisations had already gathered outside Jian Chen’s door, but when they heard the demand from the person of the Immortal Feather sect, they were also surprised inside.
They had all witnessed the battle between Chang Yang and Zhou Dan. They obviously saw the dozen or so jade-green God Tier pills that Chang Yang had poured out of the bottle in the end. If that was the reality, then Chang Yang only had a dozen of them left on him.
In reality, they had come as representatives of different organisations to invite Jian Chen because they wanted to purchase one or two of those pills from him. After all, the God Tier pills had already raised the attention of all of the Immortal Emperors. All of them were afraid of taking too many of them immediately, just in case they ended up as a target of everyone else if no one else could get some of them.
They had never thought that the people from the Immortal Feather sect would directly demand for Jian Chen to hand over ten of them right from the beginning. Their domineering attitude made all of these people gasp.
However, when they thought of the Immortal Feather sect’s strength, they could only give up and stay quiet.
“I only have a total of thirteen of these God Tier pills left on me, yet your Immortal Feather sect actually wants me to hand over ten of them just like this? If I only have three pills left, how am I supposed to fight in the next round?” Jian Chen’s stern voice rang out from the room.
Anyone could tell that he was grinding his teeth from his cold voice.
“How you fight in the next round is your problem. It’s none of our business. However, you have to hand over those ten God Tier pills. There’s no room for discussion regarding this,” the Immortal Monarch from the Immortal Feather sect said coldly outside. He spoke so haughtily that it seemed like he was issuing orders to subordinates.
“Hmph, your Immortal Feather sect sure is domineering. What, are you trying to seize the pills from me by force?” Jian Chen snorted coldly.
“How dare you!” The Immortal Monarch from the Immortal Feather sect was angered. He called out, “Immortal Emperor Chang Yang, you better watch your language when you talk to our Immortal Feather sect. If you disrespect our Immortal Feather sect, you won’t get out of this easily even if you’re an Immortal Emperor.”
Reaching there, the Immortal Monarch paused. His lips curled into a strange smile. “Seize by force? Our Immortal Feather sect is one of the twelve courts of heaven. We would never do something so shameless. Give us the ten healing pills, and we’ll purchase them for a thousand five-coloured immortal crystals each.”
Everyone else from the various other organisations felt disdain when they heard that. Many of them looked towards the Immortal Monarch from the Immortal Feather sect in a slightly different light.
A pill that could allow an Immortal Emperor to heal completely and instantly was already on par with high grade God Tier pills in value. As a matter of fact, it was even more precious than certain high grade God Tier pills.
The Immortal Feather sect actually wanted to purchase such precious pills for one thousand five-coloured immortals crystals each. That was no different from taking them by force.
“I won’t get out of this easily? Heh, don’t tell me your Immortal Feather sect is even bold enough to start fighting in the Observance Heaven City?” Jian Chen sneered. An Immortal Exalt ancestor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had died by the hands of the Immortal Feather sect in the past, so he had always felt antagonistic towards them.
Now that he had witnessed just how arrogant and unreasonable the people of the Immortal Feather sect were, it only strengthened his killing intent towards them.
“Immortal Emperor Chang Yang, if you remain curled up in the Observance Heaven City, our Immortal Feather sect is indeed powerless over you, but it’s impossible for you to remain hidden here forever. As a result, please hand over the ten healing pills to avoid this problem.” The Immortal Monarch from the Immortal Feather sect sneered.
“Since someone from the Immortal Feather sect has already said so much, I think I should give you my decision and opinion regarding this,” said Jian Chen.
“Hahaha, wisdom is recognising how to act and when to act. Immortal Emperor Chang Yang, you’ve made an extremely smart decision.” The Immortal Monarch outside laughed. To him, Immortal Emperor Chang Yang was clearly yielding to his request.
However, Jian Chen’s next words immediately made his smile harden. “Go back and tell your great elder Xia Mingtian that I will make him pay a heavy price during the next round.”
After throwing out that threat, Jian Chen decisively activated the isolation formation in the room, cutting off all voices from the outside.
This was the Observance Heaven City, which strictly forbade fighting. Even as one of the twelve courts of heaven, the Immortal Feather sect was not bold enough to act recklessly here.
The Immortal Monarch from the Immortal Feather sect was stunned. His face darkened and paled before he turned around and left in a huff.
“Sigh, let’s go as well. Immortal Emperor Chang Yang won’t even give in to the Immortal Feather sect’s request. It’s clearly impossible for us to persuade him.”
“You’re right. Despite our extraordinary background, where our organisations basically rule over the heavens that we stand, respected by all, we still come nowhere close to the Immortal Feather sect.”
“The Immortal Feather sect has indeed been a little too unreasonable. Despite being a court of heaven, standing above us all, they’re still talking to an Immortal Emperor after all.”
“The elder of the Immortal Feather sect looks down on independent cultivators purely because he thinks his background is great enough.”
The various organisations that had come to invite Jian Chen all left with sighs. They returned to the territories of their clans in the Observance Heaven City, reporting everything that happened outside the room to their great elders or even ancestors honestly.
An enormous courtyard stood within the Observance Heaven City where every inch of land was prime real estate.
The courtyard belonged to the Immortal Feather sect alone. It had been rented by them at the cost of a tremendous amount of resources. It had already been millions of years since someone else had stayed there.
In reality, many peak organisations of the thirty-three heavens held property in the Observance Heaven City, which basically served as private residences where they could stop to rest temporarily.
This was equivalent to paying rent in exchange for the right to a temporary stay. Up until now, there had yet to be an organisation that had earned the right to stay here forever apart from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
“Great elder, ancestor, the independent cultivator called Chang Yang has been far too haughty. He doesn’t take our Immortal Feather sect seriously at all. We’re one of the mighty twelve courts of heaven, an existence only second to the Grand Exalts in the Immortals’ World. He’s a mere independent cultivator, so how dare he show such disrespect.”
At this moment, an Immortal Monarch old man stood with his head lowered and fist clasped as he spoke with righteous indignation in the courtyard of the Immortal Feather sect. He described his full encounter with Immortal Emperor Chang Yang.
As an Immortal Monarch, he was still an elder even in an organisation like a court of heaven.
Before the elder sat two figures in the air.
One of them had the appearance of a middle-aged man, but he was clearly injured. At this moment, his face was sickly-pale, and his presence was slightly haggard. He was extremely feeble.
He was Xia Mingtian, the strongest great elder of the Immortal Feather sect. He had remained at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor for several hundred thousand years now.
Beside Xia Mingtian was an old man with a grey beard and hair. He gave off a natural sense of gravitas from his sage-like bearing and ruddy appearance.
He was the Wayless Immortal Exalt, one of the ancestors of the Immortal Feather sect!
However, he happened to be the weakest ancestor of the Immortal Feather sect, a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.
