Chapter 3552: Immortal Emperor Xiang Shi

The Immortal Devouring Orchid was actually so understanding, which clearly surprised elder Nong. Meanwhile, Chen Shuzhi’s face sank as he stood beside him. An ill omen overcame him.

He clearly understood the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s strength better than elder Nong. Perhaps even until now, elder Nong had no idea what the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s cultivation truly was.

However, Chen Shuzhi had already learnt about its strength from his great uncle. At the very least, it would come at an extremely great cost if his branch wanted to deal with the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

“The daemon plant shouldn’t be able to find great uncle. After all, he had concealed his traces. With great uncle’s abilities, it’s impossible for the Immortal Devouring Orchid to detect him,” Chen Shuzhi prayed inside, but when he remembered how someone had concealed themselves right beside his great uncle and recorded everything with a memory crystal, he became uneasy again.

No one left. They all remained in the back mountain silently as if they were waiting for the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s return.

At this moment, in a place extremely distant from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, the middle-aged man in black strode through the air. He moved extremely quickly, such that the scenery around him changed with every step. He basically crossed through worlds with each step.

His face was sunken as he searched along the path from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to the Observance Heaven City. The powerful senses of his Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor soul was spread into the surroundings.

Before long, he had crossed a great distance and arrived at the mountains where Jian Chen and the three elderly women fought.

The mountains had already been reduced to a mess, with several peaks collapsed. Several deep valleys ran along the ground below while colossal pits covered the surroundings.

Even the spiritual Qi in the area had yet to settle down, so the energy of the world was extremely violent.

The middle-aged man in black hovered in the air and peered down on everything with a sunken expression. He gradually balled his fists.

“It is no wonder that Nong Fugui could return to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens alive. An expert really did end up interfering,” the middle-aged man in black said coldly. When he saw the situation here, he immediately understood it all.

Shortly afterwards, he carefully scanned the land with the senses of his soul, searching for any traces or clues. In the end, apart from some marks of blood, he found nothing.

“These traces of blood are left behind by the Three Elders of Peach Mountain. I didn’t expect them to all be injured. Looks like the person who interfered is no weaker than me.” The middle-aged man in black’s eyes grew colder and colder. Shortly afterwards, he formed a seal with his hands and merged his soul with the world, communicating with the ways and peering around in an attempt to learn something.

But very soon, he stopped and said sternly, “All of the traces have been erased? But that does make sense. None of the experts bold enough to assist the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens are willing to show themselves anymore. All of them lurk in the shadows, afraid of being found out.”

“Once they’re discovered, that would mean trouble or even damnation…”

At this moment, the earth below suddenly erupted, and a flower three inches tall emerged. Afterwards, it swelled to thirty thousand metres tall and gave off a terrifying pressure.

The expression of the middle-aged man in black immediately changed drastically when he saw the flower. He stared straight at the flower that loomed over him in the sky and cried out uncontrollably, “It’s you! You’re the Immortal Devouring Orchid from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens? Why are you here?”

The middle-aged man in black sensed that something was amiss with the Immortal Devouring Orchid, but he felt much more curiosity and disbelief compared to that.

According to the information in his possession, no one in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens could order the Immortal Devouring Orchid around. As for assisting the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in destroying the four sects earlier, that was only because the four sects had threatened the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

But now, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had actually come so far on its own in pursuit of him.

How did it know him? And how did it lock onto his location? He was unable to understand that no matter how he racked his brains.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid did not waste a single second. As soon as it appeared, a tendril turned into a colossal vine and shot through the air, heading right towards the middle-aged man in black.

Viciousness appeared on the middle-aged man in black’s face. He said sternly, “Daemon plant, so what if you’re a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor? With my cultivation at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, that doesn’t mean I can’t put up a fight!” The middle-aged man in black did not choose to flee. His presence suddenly rose as his hands became enormous. A pair of medium quality god artifact gloves enveloped his hands. He balled his fists and directly punched out at the vine with explosive power.

Boom!

When he launched his punch, the entire world rumbled. The terrifying might within his punch immediately reduced the space within several thousand metres to nothing. On the edge of the nothingness, countless pitch-black cracks intersected and extended off into the distance.

The middle-aged man also understood the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s strength, so he used his full strength right from the beginning.

But when his destructive punch landed on the vine, the vine only shook gently. It remained completely unscathed.

“That’s impossible!” The middle-aged man in black widened his eyes. His face was filled with disbelief.

His full-powered attack had failed to even harm a single vine from the Immortal Devouring Orchid?

In the next moment, the vine enveloped him several times with a sweep, forming a great cocoon around him.

Shortly afterwards, it dove into the soil again with the middle-aged man in black, disappearing from there.

......

…

The disciples continued to wait patiently in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but at this moment, the soil churned. The Immortal Devouring Orchid had returned, appearing before everyone again.

Shortly afterwards, the cocoon-like vines began to unfurl, gradually revealing a middle-aged man in black wrapped inside there.

“It really is him.”

“He’s the same as the person in the memory crystal.”

Everyone immediately saw the middle-aged man in black’s appearance. They were thrown into an uproar.

Chen Shuzhi turned pale when he saw his great uncle restrained by the Immortal Devouring Orchid. It seemed as if all of his composure and confidence had been shattered.

His great uncle, a mighty Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, had actually been captured so easily?

The middle-aged man in black also noticed everyone from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. After a change in expression, he chose to stay silent in the end.

He was gambling that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens knew nothing at all.

“You better take a look at this memory crystal yourself, or you might just do the same thing as Chen Shuzhi, denying everything that we say.” Chen Shifang tossed a memory crystal before the middle-aged man in black.

The middle-aged man in black was doubtful. After a moment of thought, he still ended up sending a wisp of the senses of his soul inside to investigate.

But with that, he immediately grew cold and began to perspire. His face was filled with shock.

He was shocked that someone had managed to record everything with a memory crystal right under his nose, all while he was unaware.

And the person recording this had changed positions multiple times, recording everything from different angles.

As soon as he thought about how someone was hidden right beside him as he sat boldly on the sect master’s throne the other day, he began to shiver inside.

“Senior, you’re an Immortal Emperor. We respect you and we believe you won’t lie about something so small, so please introduce yourself, senior,” Chen Shifang said calmly.

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man in black suddenly let out a sigh and said, “So be it. So much has happened already, so what’s wrong with letting you learn about this?”

“I am Xiang Shi, a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants!”
