Chaotic Sword God-Chapter 3651: Abandoning the Sect
Lin Sen was completely dumbfounded as if he had just lost his soul. Even after a good while, he struggled to recover from the shock.
He had used a total of a hundred and eight extremely precious Spirit Transformation pills, yet he had failed to control the Immortal Devouring Orchid as he wished. That was an unbearable loss to him.
A good while later, Lin Sen finally realised what had happened. His eyes reddened as he gazed at the Immortal Devouring Orchid in seething anger. He said with a trembling voice, “I understand now. I finally understand now. So you’ve always been deceiving me over the years. You clearly noticed that there was something wrong with the Spirit Transformation pills right from the beginning, yet you refused to expose me, keeping me in the dark so that you could get an endless supply of pills from me.”
“But little Li, there is something that I don’t understand. Since you want Spirit Transformation pills, you could have easily stolen them from me with your strength as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. Why did you choose to spend several centuries waiting arduously instead of laying your hands on me?”
“I’m afraid of making trouble for my master, so I never dared to imprison you. I planned on waiting for my master’s decision once he returned.” The Immortal Devouring Orchid’s consciousness pulsed. It was now capable of using the senses of its soul to convey its thoughts clearly. It could not speak verbally, but there were no longer any issues with communication.
“Your master? You already have a master?” Lin Sen widened his eyes in disbelief and cried out, “Impossible. Isn’t your master the Star Clustered Ancestor? The Star Clustered Ancestor passed away many years ago. You shouldn’t have a master. What’s this all about?”
As soon as he said that, Lin Sen seemed to realise something. He suddenly looked at Jian Chen. “D-don’t tell me you’re the master that the Immortal Devouring Orchid is talking about?”
But afterwards, Lin Sen shook his head and rejected that idea. “Impossible, that’s completely impossible. The Immortal Devouring Orchid has already reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor. It’s only a step away from Immortal Exalt. It’s so powerful, so why would it choose such a puny master?”
Jian Chen sighed gently and shook his head. He could not bother explaining everything to Lin Sen. He said to the Immortal Devouring Orchid, “I’ll leave this person to you. You can do whatever you want with him.”
“Yes, master!” the Immortal Devouring Orchid said gleefully. Its ten-metre-tall body immediately swelled up, and a powerful presence flooded out.
“Discreetly!” Jian Chen kicked the Immortal Devouring Orchid tendril and smiled brightly.
“Yes, master!” the Immortal Devouring Orchid answered obediently. Its presence was erased immediately, such that no energy or pressure leaked out anymore.
However, the powerful presence that the Immortal Devouring Orchid had momentarily demonstrated left Lin Sen stunned. His eyes widened as he muttered subconsciously, “I-I-Immortal Exalt…”
Lin Sen could not help but shiver. He became extremely stern. He ripped off his disguise without any hesitation, and the presence of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor emerged, filling the surroundings.
However, he did not unleash his full strength to fight but to flee as quickly as he could. He turned into a blur, having rushed off towards the horizon with lightning speed already.
However, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had already reached Immortal Exalt. It was even faster than Lin Sen. The space in front of him split open and thick tendrils extended out, forming a prison around him instantly.
Lin Sen let out a furious roar. His full strength as an Immortal Emperor erupted, shaking up the space there. He attacked the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s tendrils with a medium quality god artifact at full strength.
However, he failed to harm the tendrils at all.
When the Immortal Devouring Orchid was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, it was already capable of killing a group of Immortal Emperor great elders from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants alone. Now that it had reached Immortal Exalt, it was far stronger than any regular Immortal Exalt. Lin Sen, who was only at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor, obviously stood no chance in front of it.
Lin Sen was trapped within the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s tendrils, and it forcefully dragged him into its body.
With Lin Sen’s disappearance, the back mountain of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens immediately recovered its usual peace.
“Sect master, senior Immortal Devouring Orchid h-has already reached Immortal Exalt?” However, neither elder Nong nor Chen Shifang were able to calm down. They both looked at Jian Chen in delight. They were emotional and excited.
As for everything that had occurred because of Lin Sen, they subconsciously neglected it.
Nothing was more important than the sect producing an Immortal Exalt.
That was because any organisation, as long as they had an Immortal Exalt, would rise to the peak and become renowned in the heaven where they dwelled. No one would underestimate them.
And now, after many years of decline, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had finally gained its own Immortal Exalt again.
Jian Chen nodded. “Don’t make a big deal about this. An Immortal Exalt won’t change the difficulties that we’re facing right now.”
“Yes, sect master. We understand, we understand. We’ll definitely keep this a secret,” elder Nong and Chen Shifang said in a hurry. They were very excited, struggling to calm down.
“We may have an Immortal Exalt, but our future circumstances won’t take a turn for the better. Instead, it’ll become even worse than before.” Jian Chen seemed to recall something. He gradually became stern and said, “Elder Nong, elder Chen, immediately gather all of the disciples. Recall all the disciples who have left the sect and dismiss all of the recruited auxiliaries once they are appropriately compensated.”
“On top of that, gather all of the resources that can be taken away, including all of the heavenly resources planted in the medicinal garden.”
Jian Chen rapidly issued a series of orders. With each order he passed, he became even more heavy-hearted as if these decisions were an extremely difficult choice for him to make.
“Sect master, what exactly has happened?” Elder Nong and Chen Shifang looked at Jian Chen speechlessly.
“The Samsaric Immortal Exalt is in danger. Our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is about to lose the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s protection, so all we can do is to depart from the sect!”
“What? Depart from the sect!” Elder Nong and Chen Shifang both paled in fright. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was no regular small sect. Abandoning where they currently stood was no small matter to them.
After all, not only was this place the ancestral land of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but it was also where the glory of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens resided. It was the memories of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
Over all these years, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had endured the constant pressure and setbacks to preserve their ancestral grounds all the way until now.
Yet now, after they gained an Immortal Exalt, they actually had to abandon their ancestral grounds and migrate the sect. Elder Nong struggled to accept that.
“Sect master, the implications of this are significant. Please consider carefully!” elder Nong said extremely sternly.
