Chaotic Sword God

of them quickly asked, “Elder Feng, elder Yun, do you two know him?”

Neither of the elders seemed to have heard the question and continued to look at Jian Chen.
With a quavering voice, one spoke, “You…you…you stepped into the realm of the Heaven Saint Masters.” At that moment, both of the elders’ hearts were storming with emotions.

When it came to Jian Chen, they were no stranger to him and had a deep impression of him.
Because of their negligence in Wake City, a mere Great Saint had been able to “steal” a glance at their Huang Luan bathing.
Their precious Huang Luan had been seen by a man for the very first time, and when they had struck out at Jian Chen, they had been injured by his azure and violet Sword Spirits.
This had greatly shocked them.

Afterward, during the Gathering of the Mercenaries half a year ago, they’d seen Jian Chen’s display at the arena.
At that time, it was extremely shocking to them.
Before that time, Jian Chen had only been a Great Saint; they hadn’t thought that in four years of time, Jian Chen would have risen at an unbelievable rate and become an Earth Saint Master.
This type of strength was practically unheard of before.

Plus, they had also heard from Huang Luan that Jian Chen had been tried during the Gathering of the Mercenaries.
When the Solunar Bow of the Huang clan had nearly been stolen by the Shi family, it had been because of Jian Chen, that the Solunar Bow had been preserved at the very last moment.
Thus, Jian Chen had earned the ire of the powerful Shi family.

And now, half a year later, Jian Chen had unexpectedly skyrocketed from being an Earth Saint Master to a Heaven Saint Master.
An unbelievable speed like this left the two elders tongue-tied and heavy-hearted.

“Elder Feng, elder Yun, who is he? Do you two know him?” Another person asked.

The elders gave a sigh before slowly steeling their nerves.
“He is Jian Chen, the very same Jian Chen that earned the number one spot in the Gathering of the Mercenaries.”

“What? He is Jian Chen?” Hearing that, the other three men revealed looks of shock as they again shifted their gazes back at Jian Chen.

Those who participated within the Gathering of the Mercenaries had to be below fifty years old in age.
If Jian Chen had participated in that, then he was no doubt younger than that.
By this point, it had only been half a year since the Gathering of the Mercenaries.
Having said that, this meant that the youth in front of them had reached the Heaven Saint Master realm before the age of fifty.

Within the Tian Yuan Continent, a progress speed as fast as this could only mean that he was an unparalleled genius.

“Jian Chen, why are you here?” Elder Yun asked in surprise.

Jian Chen stared at everyone with a blank expression, “Such a phrase like that should be asked by me.
Why are you here, and why act against me just now?”

Hearing this, elder Yun’s gaze moved to the entrance of the Saint Ruler’s cave with a twinkling light.
He quickly connected the dots quietly spoke with a heavy expression, “I hadn’t imagined that the person the Qiangan Kingdom’s Heaven Saint Master had been talking about was Jian Chen.”

Although the elder had spoken in a soft voice, Jian Chen had heard it clearly.
His eyes began to blaze with a fearsome glare as he asked, “Did Qian Yun tell you the location of the Saint Ruler’s cave?”

“Correct, a Heaven Saint Master from the Qiangan Kingdom had told us about the Saint Ruler’s cave.
In exchange, he told us to take the life of a certain person.” The middle-aged man spoke without expression, but his gaze held a hint of a cold light as he looked at Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s mouth quirked to form a cold smile as his glare dropped several degrees.
“I didn’t think that the Qiangan Kingdom would deal such a hand.
If they want you to kill someone, it is surely me.”

“Correct.” The same middle-aged man expressionlessly replied.

Jian Chen looked at that man and asked, “Now that I am here, what will you do now?”

Anger filled the man’s heart.
He coldly snorted and said, “The promises our Huang family make must be fulfilled.
No matter who you are, you will not leave today!”

“No!” Elder Yun and elder Feng cried out, “Jian Chen has been a benefactor to our Huang family.
If not for him, our Solunar Bow would have been stolen by the Shi family.
Furthermore, he has saved the life of our young miss.”

“Elder Yun, that is only the miss’ side of the story.
We don’t know what happened in that isolated space during the tournament where we cannot differentiate between falsity and truth.
Who knows whether or not the young miss’ words are true?” The middle aged man fired back in argument.

“Then surely Shi Xiangran’s death must be true to you.” Elder Feng replied, clearly on Jian Chen’s side.

“And what can Shi Xiangran’s death prove? It doesn’t say for sure whether there were personal feelings of gratitude or resentment between Jian Chen and Shi Xiangran.” The man justified.

The two elders glanced at each other, the expressions turning extremely ugly.
After realizing that their target was Jian Chen, the two had a change of plans.
Even if they were to brave the aftermath of damaging their clan’s reputation, they didn’t wish to make a move against Jian Chen.
Not only was he a genius, but he had been a benefactor to their family.
This was more than enough for the two elders to do so.
Furthermore, he and Huang Luan had a strange sort of connection between them.

However, their wishes did not speak for the entire group.
The middle-aged man’s attitude, in particular, made it hard for them to act.
