Chapter 3619: The General’s Edict
Among the three of them, Immortal Emperor Sen Yang obviously could not leave, as this was his general’s estate; this was his territory.
As for Immortal Emperor Duan Hun, he had already been reduced to a soul. Under the protection of the Observance Heaven City, he was instead the safest.
On the other hand, the Gathering Clouds Master also wanted to leave, but Jian Chen had already issued a challenge to him. If he left now, then that would be fleeing in the face of danger.
For all reputable peak Immortal Emperors, probably none of them could accept fleeing from an opponent who was far lower in cultivation.
The Gathering Clouds Master glanced at Immortal Emperor Duan Hun and Immortal Emperor Sen Yang who had already lost their bodies and were reduced to souls. He was extremely stern. “Fellow Chang Yang, are you really going to challenge me?”
“Of course!” Jian Chen was resolute.
“You’ve already defeated fellows Sen Yang and Duan Hun. Challenging me will only exhaust your life energy. What benefit do you get out of this?” the Gathering Clouds Master said solemnly. He was clearly rather fearful, but he was unable to let go of his pride to decline.
He was the strongest great elder of a peak organisation in the Immortals’ World. He possessed great status and authority. He was an existence only second to the Immortal Exalt ancestors.
Oftentimes, a single word or action from him could represent the sect behind him to a certain degree. As a result, his identity completely forbade him from shirking away, as that would only embarrass the sect behind him.
“You’ve made me lose two million five-coloured immortal crystals. Of course, I have to visit you one by one and settle this debt. My possessions aren’t that easy to take from me,” Jian Chen said emotionlessly.
“Alright, then I accept your challenge!” The Gathering Clouds Master had no choice. He could only accept the battle reluctantly. Even when he already knew the final outcome, he could not shrink back.
In the next moment, both Jian Chen and the Gathering Clouds Master vanished, entering the ancient battlefield.
After the two of them left, several dozen senses of souls hovered through the air. The seventeen Immortal Emperors who had departed earlier all hid in their estates and paid attention to the happenings here through the senses of their souls.
Apart from them, there were a few Thousand Immortal Generals that were not on Jian Chen’s list, also observing what happened here with great interest. They were ready to see a great show, but their fear for Jian Chen also deepened.
Despite many of them still looking down on Jian Chen who was only at the Sixth Heavenly Layer and relied on a foreign object to achieve his victories, none of them wanted to provoke a madman for no good reason.
In particular, a madman who could create tremendous losses for them.
In short, Jian Chen’s series of actions had truly crafted him a reputation. He had struck respect into the hearts of others, and he had also forged himself some infamy, leaving a permanent impression on all of the Thousand Immortal Generals.
Just as expected, the battle between Jian Chen and the Gathering Clouds Master ended before long. The Gathering Clouds Master had also lost his body, reduced to just a soul.
“Are you satisfied now, fellow Chang Yang? Is this enough to end the grievance between us?” the Gathering Clouds Master’s soul said feebly. He looked at Jian Chen with deep fear.
“End the grievance? How can it be that easy? This is only the beginning.” Jian Chen smiled coldly before silently vanishing. He had already proceeded to the next general’s estate.
The Gathering Clouds Master’s face immediately became ugly. Even his body had been destroyed already. He had paid a heavy price, yet this was only the beginning?
It was not just the Gathering Clouds Master. When they heard that, even Immortal Emperor Sen Yang and Immortal Emperor Duan Hun lost their cool.
However, under the rules of the Observance Heaven City, they were truly powerless against Jian Chen. After all, he could basically heal himself endlessly.
“Thousand Immortal General Chang Yang challenges Immortal Emperor Can Ye! Are you bold enough to accept my challenge?”
Before long, a resounding voice basically reached almost half of the Observance Heaven City.
Jian Chen stood leisurely with his hands behind his back outside a general’s estate.
“What? Thousand Immortal General Chang Yang wants to challenge Immortal Emperor Can Ye? This is a battle between Immortal Emperors.”
“Battles between Immortal Emperors are absolutely spectacular. If we can witness a battle like that, it’ll be of tremendous benefit to us.”
“Apart from when they contend for the posts, these high-level battles rarely occur in the Observance Heaven City. I don’t know whether it’ll be made public. If it’s a public battle, then that’ll be quite a rare event in the Observance Heaven City.”
In the next moment, basically the entire Observance Heaven City had been shaken up. The countless immortals staying in the city looked towards a certain general’s estate as a great discussion was sparked.
In that particular general’s estate, Immortal Emperor Can Ye’s face darkened as he sat inside. He sat on his throne and said nothing at all, entering a dilemma.
He had obviously seen Immortal Emperor Sen Yang, Immortal Emperor Duan Hun, and the Gathering Clouds Master’s fates. Without any doubt, if he were to face Jian Chen, he would end up suffering the same fate too.
Right now, he was truly stuck between a rock and a hard place.
“I… decline…” After spending a good moment in turmoil, Immortal Emperor Can Ye said that at the cost of basically all of his energy. He had a darkened face.
Declining the challenge was equivalent to admitting that he was weaker than him.
Such a matter was not exactly embarrassing when it came to Immortal Exalts or even opponents of the same cultivation.
However, the opponent just happened to be a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, far below his cultivation.
“You decline? Hahaha, you’re a mighty Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, the leader of the great elders from the Tremendous Immortal Sect, one of the peak organisations of the Ease Nurturing Heaven, yet you’re too afraid to accept the challenge of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor? Looks like your title as the leading great elder of the Tremendous Immortal Sect is just a sham.” Jian Chen laughed aloud outside the general’s estate. Shortly afterwards, he took out his own official seal and wrote an edict. He called out, “Eight commandants, answer my call immediately. If you aren’t here within fifteen seconds, I’ll punish you accordingly!”
The general’s edict shot off through the air, immediately arriving in Jian Chen’s estate.
Apart from Jian Shiyi, the expressions of the eight other commandants all changed drastically, but they only hesitated for three seconds. After all, they all vanished, rushing over to Jian Chen’s side as quickly as they could.
In just nine seconds, eight figures appeared behind Jian Chen. They were all Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarchs.
Jian Chen turned towards the eight people behind him and smiled slightly. “I think you’ve understood what I was implying. Use your eloquence and express what I want to say through different ways. Keep yelling until Immortal Emperor Can Ye accepts my challenge.”
When they heard that, the eight commandants all turned purple. Outside, they would obviously ignore what Jian Chen said.
But this was the Observance Heaven City. Subordinates were unable to defy their superiors according to the rules of the city!
“Immortal Emperor Can Ye, don’t embarrass the Tremendous Immortal sect. Within the Tremendous Immortal sect, you’re the leading great elder.”
“Immortal Emperor Can Ye, you’re a reputable figure on the Ease Nurturing Heaven. You have to preserve your dignity no matter what.”
“Immortal Emperor Can Ye, you better not blame us. We have no other choice, so please don’t take what I say next personally.” One of them reached there and suddenly paused. Afterwards, his tone immediately changed as he began cursing loudly. “Immortal Emperor Can Ye, you’re a piece of trash. You’re a mighty Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, yet you’re too afraid to accept a challenge from a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor? Your refusal has left us here, embarrassing ourselves with you.”
The eight commandants under Jian Chen’s command all spoke up. Some of them spoke gently, trying to persuade him earnestly, while others directly exploded with curses, showing no respect at all.
