Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3958: The Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt

The actions of the Wayless Immortal Exalt came across as quite domineering. He showed no fear whatsoever in the face of Xing Caijian or the mighty force supporting her, the Heavenly Star Palace.

Even before discovering that Jian Chen's healing treasure was a sovereign god artifact, the Immortal Feather Sect had already issued a reward, determined to track him down by turning over every rock across the entire Immortals' World.

With the revelation that it was indeed a sovereign god artifact, their resolve to pursue him only grew stronger, leaving even less room for mercy.

"Your Immortal Feather Sect has set its sights on the sovereign god artifact belonging to Yang Yutian, so you're plotting to eliminate him and seize his possession?" Xing Caijian inquired without a trace of emotion.

"Hmph, while sovereign god artifacts are indeed valuable, our Immortal Feather Sect already possesses such treasures. What reason would we have to resort to this over a single object? The Immortal Feather Sect demands his capture because he has slain four of our esteemed great elders," the Wayless Immortal Exalt replied icily. Numerous Immortal Exalts surrounded them, and he absolutely could not allow the Immortal Feather Sect to gain a notorious image for robbery and murder.

"I never imagined that a heavenly court like the Immortal Feather Sect could stoop to such shamelessness. Those four great elders met their end because your sect brought it upon yourselves," Jian Chen interjected abruptly.

"Junior, what exactly did you say?" The Wayless Immortal Exalt fixed a fierce glare on Jian Chen, his rage boiling over.

"I said you brought it on yourselves. During my bid for the Thousand Immortal General post in Observance Heaven City, your Immortal Feather Sect obstructed me at every opportunity. And even after I departed from Observance Heaven City, you dispatched a Space Laws-wielding Immortal Emperor specifically to hunt me. Had you refrained from that, would that Immortal Emperor have perished in the void of outer space?"

Jian Chen pressed on, "Reflecting on it, the Immortal Feather Sect's repeated interference likely stemmed from more than just the Thousand Immortal General position. Your great elder, Xia Tianming, fell to me, bringing disgrace to your sect. Above all, the treasure in my possession drew your interest from the very start. That's why you seek my death to claim it."

"How dare you, junior! How can you defame our Immortal Feather Sect in this manner? No matter what, the undeniable fact remains that you've killed great elders of our Immortal Feather Sect."

"Determining if it's defamation or truth is straightforward. A simple inquiry in Observance Heaven City would uncover all the details," Jian Chen stated.

"What happened in the past no longer matters. Regardless of fault, the four great elders of our Immortal Feather Sect cannot perish without consequence."

Just as the Wayless Immortal Exalt prepared to respond, a resonant voice echoed through the area. It carried a serene tone, almost friendly and inviting. Yet, upon hearing it, everyone felt a chill deep within.

From that composed voice, an unseen weight pressed upon them all.

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster, who had been calmly drinking tea aboard his immortal vessel while masking his aura, narrowed his gaze subtly. His hand, gripping the teacup, froze for a brief instant.

A radiant orb of light materialized soundlessly in front of the Wayless Immortal Exalt. Within its glow, only the outline of a tall, lean silhouette could be discerned.

"The Cloud Furnace Master of the Sword Sect of Jade Clouds offers greetings to senior Thousand Daggeraxe…"

"The master of the Path of Truth and Illusion extends greetings to senior Thousand Daggeraxe…"

"Myriad Gold of the Gold Yang Sect pays respects to senior Thousand Daggeraxe…"

......

…

Though his features remained hidden, his identity was well-known to many present. As expressions shifted, they quickly shed any pride and offered respectful bows in his direction.

Xing Caijian's expression grew even graver. She fixed an intense stare on the figure enveloped in brilliant light, treating it as a formidable adversary.

The Thousand Daggeraxe Ancestor hailed from the Immortal Feather Sect and had reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer as an Immortal Exalt!

The Seventh Heavenly Layer marked the late stage of Immortal Exalt realm, far surpassing the Sixth Heavenly Layer in power.

The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star had once felled a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt within the Skyscraping World. Given its prowess, she held no dread toward such a figure.

Yet, directing the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star against the Immortal Feather Sect would unleash dire repercussions.

"Yang Yutian? Chang Yang? Jian Chen? Your name means nothing to me, nor does your origin or heritage. I pay no heed to the dispute between you and Wayless. My sole purpose here is the slaying of our four great elders. How will you account for this to our sect?" the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt stated evenly.

His words flowed calmly, yet they radiated an unquestionable command.

Justice and circumstances held no interest for him—only the outcome did.

In essence, even if the Wayless Immortal Exalt had erred throughout, even if Jian Chen had merely defended himself, even if Jian Chen endured heavy damages in the process, none of it mattered to the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt. But daring to injure Immortal Feather Sect members and tarnish their name demanded a fitting atonement to the sect.

This stance embodied outright bullying, enforcing the notion that the Immortal Feather Sect could rightfully dominate other cultivators, while any retaliation against them constituted an unforgivable offense.

Jian Chen's brow creased faintly. The demeanor of the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt suggested he was beyond persuasion.

"You offer no response? Very well, then I'll present you with an option. Surrender the sovereign god artifact you carry, and we'll overlook the deaths of our four great elders from the Immortal Feather Sect," the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt went on. He declared this openly before the assembly, making no effort to conceal his intent.

At those words, alarm gripped the Wayless Immortal Exalt. So many Immortal Exalts had convened, each embodying a supreme power that ruled vast territories. Revealing such blatant greed for the sovereign god artifact in their midst would tarnish the Immortal Feather Sect's standing.

Even if desire burned for the sovereign god artifact, such forthrightness was unacceptable.

Still, the Wayless Immortal Exalt lacked the boldness to voice objection or display even a flicker of discontent toward the Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt's approach, despite finding it overly blunt.

"So the sovereign god artifact in my possession has also piqued your interest, senior!" Jian Chen chuckled. He scanned the area, eyeing the medicinal garden proprietors. "Yet you're far from alone in coveting my sovereign god artifact, senior Thousand Daggeraxe. Every senior gathered here hungers for it as well. Some have even dared to provoke the Heavenly Star Palace to claim it. I can't help but question if you could truly safeguard the sovereign god artifact should I relinquish it to you, senior Thousand Daggeraxe."

Around them, the gazes of numerous mighty Immortal Exalts gleamed with unusual fervor. A restorative sovereign god artifact tempted them beyond measure. Securing one meant attaining virtual immortality. For that prize, they would forsake all else without a second thought—even their own sects.

The Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt wielded immense strength as a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, yet he paled in comparison to the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star, infused with a heavenly emperor's might.

"With my presence here, none of you will compel a Heavenly Star Palace guest to yield. Senior Heavenly Star, safeguard Yang Yutian," Xing Caijian declared frostily.

The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star promptly manifested above Jian Chen's head.

"Little girl, is your Heavenly Star Palace truly prepared to clash with our Immortal Feather Sect?" The Thousand Daggeraxe Immortal Exalt regarded Xing Caijian. His tone remained mild as ever. "Our Immortal Feather Sect holds sovereign god artifacts of its own. I have no desire to let ties between the Immortal Feather Sect and Heavenly Star Palace deteriorate this far."
