Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3782: Our Saviour Right Before Us

Xishan Zhanyun was surprised and doubtful. Despite being extremely curious about Jian Chen’s identity and background, he could only set aside his pride and haughtiness. After all, he had seen how even vice city lord Qiu Wanqian behaved in such a manner. He walked over to Jian Chen slowly and clasped his fist. He said in a neutral tone, without coming off as too proud or too modest, “If our Xishan clan has offended you in any way, please forgive us.”

“Zhanyun!” Qiu Wanqian could tell that Xishan Zhanyun was reluctant, which immediately made his face sink.

Brother Wanqian, who exactly is this person? Do we need to be so polite around him?” Xishan Zhanyun asked carefully and secretly. Apart from Qiu Wanqian, no one else could hear him.

This senior is our saviour, the person who solved the crisis that our Immortal Rising City was facing. If it were not for his assistance, the Immortal Rising City would have been razed to the ground already. We’d probably all be dead too,” Qiu Wanqian replied.

What? The mysterious senior who saved our Immortal Rising City is the person right in front of us?” Xishan Zhanyun was startled. His heart began to churn.

That’s right. Our saviour is right before us, so how can you be rude?” Qiu Wanqian scolded Xishan Zhanyun through the communication technique.

Xishan Zhanyun sucked in a deep breath. His attitude changed drastically as he bowed deeply towards Jian Chen in complete guilt and self-blame. “Our Xishan clan has unintentionally offended you, senior. Please give us a chance to redeem ourselves.”

When they saw their ancestor bow and scrape, the Immortal Monarch great elders from the Xishan clan all paled.

In particular, Xishan Yanlie and Xishan Yue were unsettled inside. They never thought that the trouble they stirred up here would end up having their ancestor bow and scrape for an apology.

“Redemption? How do you plan on redeeming yourself?” Jian Chen asked calmly.

Xishan Zhanyun lowered his head and thought about it before suddenly looking at the Immortal Monarch great elders and growling, “What are you waiting for? Get over here and apologise to the senior!”

The great elders were all dejected, arriving before Jian Chen with their heads lowered and bowing towards him. They no longer possessed the arrogance of being self-proclaimed rule-setters of the Immortal Rising City anymore.

“I have been blind. I have offended senior. Please punish me, senior…”

“Please punish us, senior. I’m willing to accept any punishment you give us, senior…”

......

The great elders of the Xishan clan were all soft-spoken and in low spirits.

Xishan Yanlie was regretful as well. He apologised to Jing Feng and Jing Mumu fervently before yelling at Xishan Yue who had already blanked out, “You unfilial thing, everything happened today because of you. You’ve committed a heinous crime. Hurry up and apologise to the senior.”

Xishan Yue’s legs trembled. He made his way over to Jian Chen with great difficulty before dropping down to his knees, asking to be spared.

“You’ve offended fellow Yang Yutian. This matter can’t be resolved with just an apology.” At this moment, a dignified voice rang out. In the next moment, the city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, silently appeared by Jian Chen’s side.

“Greetings, city lord!” Vice city lord Qiu Wanqian and the great elders from the Xishan clan clasped their fists and bowed.

“Brother!” Xishan Zhanyun’s face was filled with injustice and helplessness.

Meanwhile, Jing Feng shuddered and widened his eyes. To a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal like him, the city lord of the Immortal Rising City was already a figure of legend, yet right now, he had appeared in such close proximity. That had left quite a mark on him.

“You oh you. Sigh, you leave me far too disappointed.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu glanced past the people from the Xishan clan in disappointment.

“Fellow Yang Yutian, it’s all my fault for not teaching them manners, which led to the mess that happened today. I’ve made a fool of myself,” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said with self-blame.

“If they only offended me, I wouldn’t mind at all, but they never, ever should have gone after my disciple. Going after my disciple is even worse than directly offending me,” Jian Chen said calmly.

“I already know about everything that happened here. Please calm down, fellow. I will definitely provide you with a satisfying outcome.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu guaranteed. Afterwards, his expression changed as he looked at the great elders from the Xishan clan coldly. “Xishan Bu, Xishan Wuji, Xishan Guiri, Xishan Min, and Xishan Ze, the five of you have offended fellow Yang Yutian. I will sentence you to a thousand years of imprisonment in the Prison of Frost with your cultivations sealed.”

When they heard that, the five great elders from the Xishan clan who had been named immediately became dejected.

“A-a thousand years. City lord, i-isn’t that far too severe? That is the Prison of Frost after all. Once our cultivations are sealed away, even Immortal Monarchs will face hellish pain in there.” Xishan Yanlie was quite frightened. The five great elders being punished had only offended Jian Chen, yet they had been reduced to such a miserable state.

According to the severity of the punishment, he struggled to imagine what kind of outcome would be awaiting him.

“Is that severe? Looks like you still haven’t realised just how great of a mistake you’ve made. The five of you, you’ll be imprisoned for five thousand years instead!” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu snorted coldly.

When they heard that, the five great elders shuddered violently. They subconsciously looked at Xishan Yanlie in complete resentment.

Xishan Yanlie shrank back. He no longer had the courage to say anything more.

The ancestor of the Xishan clan, Xishan Zhanyun, stood there with his head lowered without uttering a single word as if he had given into fate.

“Xishan Yanlie, your body will be destroyed, and your soul will be imprisoned in the Soul-binding Hall for a hundred thousand years.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was like the adjudicator of hell, directly judging the fates of the Immortal Monarchs from the Xishan clan.

Xishan Yanlie paled. His eyes were filled with despair.

The five Immortal Monarchs who had been sentenced to the Prison of Frost were secretly shocked. Not only was his body to be destroyed, but even his soul would be imprisoned in the Soul-binding Hall for a hundred thousand years. The severity of the punishment basically rivalled what criminals who committed heinous deeds would face.

In the end, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu looked at Xishan Yue. His dignified gaze was filled with coldness. “Xishan Yue, your cultivation will be crippled, and you will never recover from it. Your Xishan clan should know what to do with everything else.”

When he heard that his cultivation was to be crippled, Xishan Yue collapsed on the ground. He wailed out, “Mercy! Have mercy, city lord! City lord, please spare me! Please don’t cripple my cultivation! Please show mercy, city lord! Please don’t cripple my cultivation!”

“Hmph, you unfilial thing, you’re actually shameless enough to still plead for mercy? Our entire Xishan clan has been thrown into deep trouble today because of you.” Xishan Zhanyun said in resentment. He directly struck Xishan Yue with his hand and dispersed all of his cultivation on the spot.

Technically speaking, with the Xishan clan’s strength, it was possible for him to build up his cultivation again from scratch even after he was crippled. However, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu had ordered for him to never recover.

As such, Xishan Yue could never cultivate again. He had truly been reduced to a mortal.

“From today onwards, Xishan Yue is no longer a member of our Xishan clan. Strip him of his identity and status and expel him from the clan,” Xishan Zhanyun said coldly. He was the paramount ancestor of the Xishan clan. His orders were even more effective than the patriarch's.

Xishan Yue’s eyes blanked out. He seemed to lose his soul. All of his thoughts ceased.

“Zhanyun, you should seal up your cultivation and imprison yourself in the Prison of Frost for ten thousand years as well,” said Immortal Exalt Tan Yu.

“Yes, brother. I accept my punishment,” Xishan Zhanyun said.

“We should change our head commander of the city guards as well and carefully investigate his past deeds. If he has broken any rules, punish him with due severity. Moreover, search the entire city for any other people who have committed deeds like Xishan Yue. Once discovered, punish them accordingly. Qiu Wanqian, I’ll leave this to you,” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said.

“Yes, city lord!” Qiu Wanqian bowed and accepted the order, but he sighed inside. He knew that the head commander of the city guards was done for. No one could save him anymore.

Normally, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu would not pay any regards to these miscellaneous matters and would never bother looking into it. However, because of the events that had unfolded at the appraisal fair today, he decided to carry out a great purge through the city, personally reconsolidating the place.

“Fellow Yang Yutian, are you satisfied with how I’ve handled this matter?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu clasped his fist towards Jian Chen.

“We’ll end the matter here,” Jian Chen said calmly. After clasping his fist towards Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, he left the appraisal fair with Jing Mumu and Jing Feng.
