Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3778: Xi Shanyue

Chapter 3778: Xi Shanyue

“Grandpa!” Jing Mumu was frightened. She stood behind Jing Feng and held onto the hem of his clothes firmly. She was nervous.

“What are you doing? He’s the one who broke the rules of the Immortal Rising City, not us. Since you want to capture people, at least make sure you check who to go after,” Jing Feng said sternly. Despite knowing that this might be a trap, he appeared unfazed by the danger.

“Take them all away. We’ll know after we investigate exactly who broke the rules.” Xue Feng waved his hand. A few city guards immediately walked over, grabbing the hemp-clothed man and lifting him off the ground nearby.

The hemp-clothed man did not resist. He was extremely cooperative. However, he constantly called out, “Jing Feng, all I did was accidentally offend you back then in the Falling Cloud City. I never thought you’d chase me all the way to the Immortal Rising City, trying to kill me here. How vicious of you.”

Jing Feng furrowed his brows. He did not recognise this person at all.

The cultivators in the surroundings all watched on quietly. Many of them were obviously aware of everything that had unfolded. They also knew the hemp-clothed man was spouting blind lies, except they did not have the courage to speak up.

The cultivators who were active in the Immortal Rising City all knew that Xue Feng had a very st.u.r.dy backing.

“This treasure has clearly caught captain Xue Feng’s attention. Sigh, the only thing you can blame is the poor luck of the two of them.”

“s.h.i.+ Zhongxian and captain Xue Feng have harmed many people over the years with their cooperation. A century ago, there had been a woman who was wrongly accused. After she was taken away, she never appeared again.”

“Sigh, he is the disciple of the main commander of the city guards after all. Once captured, the truth no longer matters.”

Many cultivators in the surroundings discussed among themselves secretly. They all shook their heads and sighed. People without impressive backgrounds did not have the courage to stand forward at a time like this.

The city guards had already begun to take action. They approached Jing Feng, preparing to seize him on the spot.

Jing Feng’s expression constantly changed. He wanted to resist, but he had second thoughts. After all, this was the Immortal Rising City, a place with an Immortal Exalt. The Falling Cloud City came nowhere close in comparison.

“Mumu, take the item and leave. Go and find your master!” Jing Feng suddenly made his decision. He handed the tip of the broken sword over to Jing Mumu, clearly having given up on resisting.

The city guards approaching Jing Feng took out a metal chain. It flickered with profound glyphs, which immediately tied him up.

The metal chain clearly could restrain cultivation. After being chained up, Jing Feng’s cultivation was completely frozen. He could no longer use it any more.

“Grandpa, you have to hang in there. I’ll definitely get my master to save you.” Jing Mumu was anxious. She took the tip of the sword and was about to run off.

“Stop!” Xue Feng blocked Jing Mumu. He gazed at the s.h.i.+ning tip of the sword, and the temptation in his eyes grew heavier. He sneered and said, “Since you’re together, you better both come with us. Once we’ve gotten to the bottom of this, we’ll give you the truth.”

“Take her away!”

As Xue Feng swung his hand, a city guard immediately appeared behind Jing Mumu, about to seize her.

“Xue Feng, you actually want to hara.s.s a little girl who isn’t even a Golden Immortal publicly? You really are becoming more depraved with time.” Suddenly, a sneer rang out from the crowd.

The cultivators gathered in the surroundings parted to form a path with great self-awareness. Shortly afterwards, a handsome young man in fancy robes, surrounded by beautiful female attendants, walked over slowly.

Xue Feng’s face had originally become extremely sunken. However, when he recognised the young man, he was startled, and all of the displeasure vanished from his face. He ran over with an apologetic smile and started sucking up to him. “So it’s young master Yue. Young master Yue, what brings you here with your esteemed status?”

The young man was called Xishan Yue. He was the first young master of the Xishan clan of the eight organisations in the city. His father was the current patriarch of the Xishan clan, and his great grandfather was an Immortal Emperor ancestor of the Xishan clan.

In terms of status, Xue Feng whose master was the head commander of the city guards obviously came nowhere close to Xishan Yue.

“That treasure actually managed to harm the senses of my soul, which can only mean it’s extraordinary. I’ll be reserving it. Captain Xue Feng, you don’t have any objections, do you?” Xishan Yue glanced at the tip of the sword in Jing Mumu’s hand before turning towards Xue Feng. There was a hint of undisguised disdain in his eyes.

“What are you saying, young master Yue? It is exactly because this item has caught you fancy that it has been brought into the light of glory. I don’t even have enough time to celebrate, so why would I have any objections?” Xue Feng smiled from ear to ear, tending to Xishan Yue carefully.

In reality, he was bleeding inside. He was filled with seething fury and utter reluctance to accept this.

He had specially organised s.h.i.+ Zhongxian to go after Jing Mu at the appraisal fair before using the excuse that they had broken the rules of the Immortal Rising City to take them both away. As long as he managed to take them to his territory, he would be completely in charge.

However, he had never expected someone that even he could not afford to offend to show up at such an important time, making his plan that was on the brink of success end in failure.

“Let them go. The two of them played a crucial role in discovering the treasure here today,” Xishan Yue said indifferently. He gave off undisguised arrogance, a sense of haughtiness as if he was better than everyone else.

“What are you waiting for? Are you deaf? Haven’t you heard what young master Yue said?” Release them,” Xue Feng turned towards the city guards and yelled at them.

When they heard that, the city guards who shackled Jing Feng immediately stepped back. The city guard who was about to capture Jing Mumu also stopped what he was doing immediately.

After the chains were removed, Jing Feng recovered his freedom. His frozen cultivation recovered as well.

However, he could not celebrate at all, as someone with an even more impressive background was here with the same ill intentions.

Xishan Yue looked at Jing Feng. He said indifferently and haughtily, “I heard you’re from the Falling Cloud City, a member of the Jing family? According to the reports of my subordinates, the Jing family only has an early Immortal Monarch. In a place like the Falling Cloud City, strength like that is something to be recognised, but it’s absolutely nothing in our Immortal Rising City.”

“I don’t want to hara.s.s people like you who come from small clans. You purchased the tip of the sword for a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals?”

“How about this? I’ll buy it off you for a million supreme grade immortal crystals.”

As he said that, Xishan Yue swung his hand, and a block of supreme grade immortal crystal flew out from his s.p.a.ce Ring, landing on the ground with a thunk.

The supreme grade immortal crystal formed a perfect cube, exactly a metre across in length, width, and depth. If it were broken up into standard-sized immortal crystals, it would be exactly a million.

Gazing at the block of supreme grade immortal crystal, many of the cultivators nearby were envious. Even some Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals that were relatively poor could not produce a million supreme grade immortal crystals.

“He truly is the first young master of the Xishan clan. He truly is extravagant. He can take out a million supreme grade immortal crystals without even batting an eye.” Many of the people in the surroundings sighed inside.

However, Jing Mumu pouted. Compared to the mountainous pile of immortal crystals that her master had given her, a block of immortal crystal was nothing.
