Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3783: A Speck of Dust

With a gentle ripple of space, Jian Chen, Jing Feng, and Jing Mumu all vanished.

With Jian Chen’s departure, the gentleness on Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s face immediately vanished. He stared at the people before him frostily and said, “Take what happened today as a warning. We can’t allow anything like this to happen ever again in any part of the Immortal Rising City. If you encountered one of those strange-mannered old freaks with violent tempers instead of someone as agreeable as Yang Yutian who refuses to stoop down to your level, your Xishan clan would definitely face destruction. Even I would not be able to save you.”

“City lord, a-actually we did investigate them. How could we know that the two people from the Jing family of Falling Cloud City would actually have such a great expert behind them…” Xishan Yanlie was filled with great regret. He never expected this to lead to the ancestor facing such severe punishment.

“Are you saying that you can freely harass those from smaller clans and organisations?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu stared coldly at Xishan Yanlie.

“Isn’t that exactly how the world works?” Xishan Yanlie muttered inside, but he would never have the courage to say this aloud in front of Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. He only stood there obediently, accepting his lesson.

......

…

From that moment onwards, one of the two Immortal Emperor ancestors of the Xishan clan completely vanished. Some of their Immortal Monarch elders seemed to evaporate into thin air as well. There were no signs of them for a very long time into the future.

The eight organisations of the Immortal Rising City were of the same breath and branch. The founding ancestors were all friends of life and death who had gone through thick and thin together. The seven other organisations were obviously particularly concerned with what had happened to the Xishan clan, so the Immortal Emperor ancestors of the other organisations all visited the Xishan clan to investigate.

But before long, all of them left the Xishan clan with heavy hearts. Many of them shook their heads with a sigh. They were filled with helplessness.

The head commander of the city guards had been replaced, taken over by a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch great elder dispatched from the eight organisations. Under the personal investigations of vice city lord Qiu Wanqian, it was discovered that the original head commander had severely infringed on the rules of the Immortal Rising City multiple times. He was captured on the spot by Qiu Wanqian. After his cultivation was sealed away, he was imprisoned in the Prison of Frost.

Basically all of his subordinates that held various roles among the city guards were carefully investigated. In the end, some of them were dismissed, some of them were expelled from the city, and some of them were imprisoned.

As a matter of fact, some of them had even been executed on the spot!

The first young master of the Xishan clan, Xishan Yue, was formally expelled from the Xishan clan. Having lost his cultivation, he ended up on the streets with very little possessions, disheveled like a beggar.

His father, Xishan Tu, was dismissed from the position of patriarch.

After all this, the branch that Xishan Yue belonged to suffered a heavy blow both above and below. Their status in the clan plummeted.

The Immortal Rising City locked down the spread of any information regarding what had happened at the appraisal fair. As a result, many people who were not familiar with the details only knew that the string of changes in the Immortal Rising City had started with the appraisal fair.

A mere appraisal fair had actually led to such a great impact across almost the entire hierarchy of the Immortal Rising City, which led to quite an uproar in the Immortal Rising City. Many of the medium-sized or smaller organisations felt chills. They began reining in their disciples and descendants in a hurry.

As the cause of all this, Jian Chen was completely unconcerned with what was going on around him. He remained in a serene courtyard, studying the tip of the broken sword that Jing Mumu had bought from the appraisal fair in interest.

“Master, what kind of treasure is this? Is it very precious?” Jing Mumu stood by Jian Chen’s side and stared at the tip of the sword in his hand. Her delicate face was filled with excitement and anticipation.
