Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3602: Edict

The soldier of the Observance Heaven City arrived at the inn where Jian Chen stayed very quickly with the vice city lord’s edict. The attendants in the inn were just about to approach him when the soldier directly flashed the vice city lord’s edict, which frightened the attendants. Their expressions changed drastically as they backed away.

Holding the edict, the soldier directly made his way up the stairs and arrived outside the room where Jian Chen stayed.

At this moment, the room was enveloped by a powerful formation. The formation was connected with the Observance Heaven City. It was not particularly powerful, but the Observance Heaven City would immediately sense it if anyone attacked the formation.

Activating the formation in the Observance Heaven City basically guaranteed absolute safety. It cut the room off from the rest of the world, such that there would not be any disturbances. They could completely devote themselves to cultivation without any worry or vigilance.

That was also the reason why both the people from the Immortal Feather sect and the other organisations had chosen to leave immediately after Jian Chen had activated the isolating formation.

It was completely impossible for their voices to pass through!

Standing outside Jian Chen’s room, the soldier took out the vice city lord’s edict and tapped it gently against the formation.

Immediately, the formation vanished!

As soon as the formation disappeared, Jian Chen sensed it despite sitting with his eyes shut in the room. He immediately frowned and opened his eyes slowly.

The door was opened, and the soldier walked in with the vice city lord’s edict. He clasped his fist towards Jian Chen. “Immortal Emperor Chang Yang, the vice city lord has issued orders. Please visit the city lord’s estate immediately.”

With that, the soldier handed the vice city lord’s edict over to Jian Chen.

Jian Chen did not accept the edict. At this moment, the edict hovered in the air alone, shining with bright, golden light and radiating with a tremendous presence. It seemed to form a certain resonance with the power of the Observance Heaven City, such that they answered one another despite all this distance.

The edict was a product of the Observance Heaven City, condensed from its power. It was just a simple edict, yet Jian Chen felt like it was indestructible.

Gazing at the edict before him, Jian Chen furrowed his brows firmly. He obviously understood the rules of the Observance Heaven City. In the Observance Heaven City, he could go without fearing any peak organisation. Even the courts of heaven were not bold enough to kick up a fuss here.

However, he was forced to respect and recognise the power of officials in the Observance Heaven City.

The city lord and vice city lords of the Observance Heaven City still possessed some authority!

Jian Chen stared at the vice city lord’s edict for a good while silently before standing up quietly in the end, leaving the room without uttering a single word and making his way towards the city lord’s estate.

He knew he had to go with the vice city lord’s invitation. Otherwise, that would be defying the rules of the Observance Heaven City. It would be treated as working against the Observance Heaven City!

Let alone all the other possibilities, just a vice city lord alone could use the rules of the Observance Heaven City to single him out in a perfectly reasonable manner.

Unless, the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City personally stood forward, he would face endless trouble.

Vice city lords rarely ever singled out someone like this in the history of the Observance Heaven City. Given their cultivations, they were all significant figures who could set off a shockwave from a single action. Why would they use their measly authority in the Observance Heaven City to go after a certain junior?

However, Jian Chen was reluctant to take this gamble, nor would he offend a late Immortal Exalt just because of his guesses.

With the speed that Jian Chen was capable of, it was completely possible for him to reach the city lord’s estate in a few seconds or even a split second, but he did not do that. Instead, he maintained his steady speed and travelled on foot through the streets. His face was uneasy.

He purposefully bought time, coming up with various countermeasures during this period.

At the same time, Jiang Pingtian’s soul clone sat on the city lord’s throne in the city lord’s estate. He seemed to be intentionally waiting for the next round of the competition to begin. His soul clone never dispersed.

Suddenly, Jiang Pingtian’s soul clone slowly opened his eyes and called out gently at the empty hall, “Master of Fire Virtue!”

In the next moment, the Master of Fire Virtue who seemed like an embodiment of fire suddenly appeared in the hall. He smiled enthusiastically and clasped his fist. “Brother Jiang, you’re calling for me for once. How can I assist you today?”

The Master of Fire Virtue was extremely polite towards Jiang Pingtian. There were even hints of respect.

Jiang Pingtian looked at the Master of Fire Virtue calmly and asked, “You issued an edict to Chang Yang?”

“Yes. That descendant of my acquaintance wants to meet with Chang Yang, so I helped him out,” the Master of Fire Virtue said in an unconcerned manner. It seemed as if he did not think too much about this trifling matter.

“Oh right, brother Jiang, why are you suddenly asking about this?” But shortly afterwards, the Master of Fire Virtue looked at Jiang Pingtian in surprise. Given his great status, why did Jiang Pingtian ask about something completely unrelated to him?

“Master of Fire Virtue, let me give you a word of advice. It’s best if you stay out of anything involving Chang Yang,” said Jiang Pingtian.

The Master of Fire Virtue was immediately startled by that. He said in surprise, “Brother Jiang, don’t tell me Chang Yang has some kind of special background?”

“I don’t know his exact background, but do you know the real reason why Jiang Shaoyi suddenly left?” Jiang Pingtian said.

The Master of Fire Virtue immediately became stern. “I’ve always been puzzled by Jiang Shaoyi’s sudden departure. However, you said that there was something going on in the clan, so Shaoyi was forced to leave. As such, I didn’t think too much about it. But since brother Jiang has brought up this matter again, there’s probably another story to why Shaoyi left.”

Jiang Pingtian nodded. His eyes deepened as he said slowly, “Someone was in need of a Thousand Immortal General’s post in the Observance Heaven City, so I had to make Shaoyi step down and free up a spot. As it seems, the person who needed this post was Chang Yang.”

“What? Jiang Shaoyi stepped down just for the sake of freeing up a position among the Thousand Immortal Generals?” The Master of Fire Virtue was truly shocked with that. His heart churned wildly. “Brother Jiang, just who deserves so much respect that they can actually make someone from your Jiang family step down?”

Jiang Pingtian shut his eyes again and said nothing.

The Master of Fire Virtue stood there uneasily. He had truly been quite startled. He had first-hand experience regarding just how powerful Jiang Pingtian was. He struggled to imagine how great their background was to make someone like him come to a compromise.

“Thank you for letting me know, brother Jiang!” Seeing how Jiang Pingtian refused to elaborate any further, the Master of Fire Virtue did not ask any more questions either. He clasped his fist at Jiang Pingtian and left the main hall of the city lord’s estate.

With a thought, the Master of Fire Virtue returned to the side hall that belonged to him as a vice city lord.

Ye Beifeng was still waiting in the side hall. He pondered on exactly how he could obtain as many of those healing pills as possible from Chang Yang for the lowest price.

“Chang Yang doesn’t fear the Immortal Feather sect because he knows the Immortal Feather sect is powerless over him in the Observance Heaven City. He has nothing to fear here.”

“Then this time, I need to bring up who senior Fire Virtue is. After all, with senior Fire Virtue’s post as a vice city lord, there are many things he is capable of in the Observance Heaven City. He can interfere with many matters as long as the rules of the Observance Heaven City permit it.”

Ye Beifeng thought of many things. His lips gradually curled into a wide smile as if victory was already within his grasps. “During the next round, Chang Yang will be the first one eliminated. Only Qingyun and Xia Mingtian from the Immortal Feather sect will remain in the end. By then, if Qingyun possesses these healing pills, just how will Xia Mingtian compete against him in a battle of endurance? The healing pills he possesses come nowhere close to Chang Yang’s in terms of quality.”
