Chapter 3737: The Crown Prince’s Coercion
He had used the methods of heavenly secrets to try and peer into certain things before, but all he found was blanks. He did not find any information or clues.
Afterwards, in order to dismiss Fang Jing’s suspicions, Nanming Yuyan proactively showed them the recordings in the Disc of Sun and Moon.
As her hand seals changed, a clear image was immediately projected from the Disc of Sun and Moon.
The image portrayed the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants from ten thousand years ago. The entire sect bustled and prospered as usual, without anything wrong.
Shortly afterwards, the scenery changed. The prosperous sect immediately turned to ruins.
There was no record of anything that occurred in between.
Gazing at the projection from the Disc of Sun and Moon, there was a hint of disappointment in Fang Jing’s eyes. It seemed as if she felt pity over the fact that she was unable to see how the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was destroyed.
“The missing recording seems to have been forcefully erased by someone. It’s not an issue of the Disc of Sun and Moon,” Daowei Chengqing suddenly said.
“Impossible. The Disc of Sun and Moon is hidden in this gap of time, between the past and present. Unless they possess the corresponding secret technique, no one can find it, much less erase the recordings. That’s virtually impossible,” Nanming Yuyan denied that without any hesitation.
“What if the existence who erased the recordings was a Grand Exalt?” Daowei Chengqing said calmly.
“A Grand Exalt?” Nanming Yuyan was taken aback, but she soon shook her head. “That would be even more impossible. Why would Grand Exalts be bored enough to play a game of cat and mouse with a group of juniors?”
“Something probably went wrong with the Disc of Sun and Moon, which led to the missing recording.”
Reaching there, Nanming Yuyan sighed gently and said to the Space-splitting Venerable, “I came here to assist you in investigating the person behind the destruction, but now, I am powerless.”
The Space-splitting Venerable’s face changed several times before suddenly gritting his teeth and clutching his first towards Daowei Chengqing. “Your majesty, one million innocent clansmen of my Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants can’t just die like this. Please assist me, your majesty.”
“You old thing, you sure are utterly shameless. If your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was innocent, all those organisations that you destroyed on the Reverent Observance Heaven deserved it? In my opinion, your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants deserved to be destroyed. That was your retribution. If someone hadn’t beaten me to it, perhaps I would have destroyed your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants myself,” Fang Jing said fiercely without any respect.
The Space-splitting Venerable did not dare to say anything. He completely ignored Fang Jing’s words. He was so cowardly that he did not have any temper at all.
“Enough, Jing’er. Keep it at a minimum,” Daowei Chengqing said.
“Brother, why are you still speaking for this old animal?” Fang Jing turned around and stared at Daowei Chengqing in an annoyed manner. She found this extremely difficult to accept.
Daowei Chengqing was helpless. “Sister, you’re a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt now. Your identity is vastly different from before. You can’t be as impulsive as you used to. You need to pay attention to every word you utter and every action you make, or you won’t live up to your identity.”
After hearing Daowei Chengqing’s words, Fang Jing’s unwillingness to accept this finally eased up a little. Afterwards, she stormed off, immediately vanishing and appearing outside the Observance Heaven City again.
She took out a tablet that belonged to the Observance Heaven City and entered the place, going to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets in the end.
After Fang Jing left, Daowei Chengqing gave a signal, and the three servants beside him used a secret technique, casting a barrier of energy.
Nanming Yuyan was blocked outside the barrier of energy. Not only was she unable to hear anything, but she could not even see what was going on inside.
Daowei Chengqing took out a painting and passed it to the Space-splitting Venerable inside the energy barrier.
The Space-splitting Venerable accepted the painting with both hands and discovered that it was a portrait of a handsome young man who seemed to be around twenty years of age. His complexion was resolute, and his eyes were sharp like swords. When meeting his gaze, he actually felt like his heart was pierced.
“Your majesty, who is this?” The Space-splitting Venerable was puzzled.
“This is the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. His true name is unknown. All I know is that he goes by the name of Jian Chen in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and the name of Chang Yang in the Observance Heaven City. He cultivates the Chaotic Body, and he is already extremely accomplished with it. Keep an eye out for this person. When he appears, be sure to contact me immediately,” said Daowei Chengqing.
“What? The sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is actually the same person as Chang Yang of the Observance Heaven City?” The Space-splitting Venerable was very surprised. He had learnt about the existence of the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and Chang Yang from the Wayless Immortal Exalt of the Immortal Feather sect, but he had never seen a portrait.
“He wears a mask that allows him to assume the appearance of anyone and disguise his presence as anyone. Even Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts struggle to notice the difference,” said Daowei Chengqing.
The Space-splitting Venerable was stunned. “He can change his appearance freely and disguise his presence as anyone, even capable of deceiving Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts? Your majesty, since he has the disguise of such a wondrous mask, how am I supposed to recognise him?”
“He can alter his appearance and presence, but there is something he can’t change, which is the Chaotic Body. In the entire Immortals’ World, there aren’t a lot of people who have reached his realm of cultivation with the Chaotic Body. You only need to pay attention to that,” said Daowei Chengqing.
“Your majesty, the Wayless Immortal Exalt of the Immortal Feather sect once deduced that it’s extremely likely for this person to be connected with the destruction of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants,” the Space-splitting Venerable said hesitantly.
A wisp of cold light flashed through Daowei Chengqing’s eyes. “Space-splitting Venerable, let’s not talk about whether this person is actually involved with the destruction of your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants or not just yet. I only have one question for you.”
Daowei Chengqing paused. His voice turned slightly cold. “Are the lives of the six of you more important, or is the grudge of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants more important?”
When Daowei Chengqing said that, the three servants behind him immediately released tremendous pressure. The three pressures merged together and crashed down on the Space-splitting Venerable as an irresistibly great force like a lofty mountain.
The Space-splitting Venerable shuddered inside. He was deeply shocked.
He was a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, so he had an extremely good understanding of the strength of Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts. However, right before him, the pressure from any one of these three servants had completely surpassed the range that belonged to the Seventh Heavenly Layer. They were completely on par with the Eighth Heavenly Layer.
As a matter of fact, compared to some true Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts, the presence of the three servants was even fiercer and more startling.
It was as if the three of them possessed an extremely special power. Even if he were at his peak condition, he would not be the opponent of any of these servants.
The Space-splitting Venerable lowered his head in a hurry out of fright and said frantically, “I’ll oblige to all of the crown prince’s arrangements. I’ll do whatever the crown prince wants me to do.”
The Space-splitting Venerable did not dare to defy Daowei Chengqing’s will. He understood extremely well that if Daowei Chengqing wanted to kill him, he would not have to hesitate at all.
He had the Sacred Beast clan supporting him, but Daowei Chengqing had a Grand Exalt behind him!
“Remember, do not let the people from the Immortal Feather sect find out about the task I’ve given you. Do not let Jing’er know either.”
“I understand. Please do not worry, your majesty.” The Space-splitting Venerable guaranteed with absolute confidence.
