Chapter 3667: A Past Mount
Looking carefully, Jian Chen could vaguely make out a black, seated figure within the churning demon Qi.
The figure was abnormally large. Even when sitting there, he was ten metres tall, but at this moment, his body trembled uncontrollably as he let out shrill howls.
He was a mighty Demon Exalt, yet he was imprisoned in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, forced to endure h.e.l.lish pain.
Hahaha, keep screaming, keep howling, Thousand Soul Demon Exalt! The more you scream, the greater I feel! The Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants laughed loudly. He took a fierce swig of alcohol before flicking his finger and sending an energy attack into the surging demon Qi.
Immediately, the Demon Exalt trapped in there experienced excruciating pain. He let out a painful howl, and a shred of the surging demon Qi vanished.
The ball of demon Qi is a part of the Demon Exalts soul. His soul seems to have been split into two. Part of it is the demon Qi, while the other part is in his body.
Jian Chens eyes shone as he remained hidden in the darkness. He began carefully studying the golden chains that trapped the Demon Exalt and discovered that the eighteen golden chains established some kind of formation. As they trapped the Demon Exalt, they also split apart his soul, preventing the two parts from merging back together.
At this moment, Jian Chen sensed something and turned around to glance behind him. Afterwards, he s.h.i.+fted his steps slightly.
In the next moment, a figure made their way in from above.
Jian Chen had seen this person before. He was the great elder who had collected the Blood Pills of Dragons and Elephants from Dan Chenzi earlier. His name was Xiang Fenglai.
Xiang Chengzhu, why are you destroying the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts partial souls again? Xiang Fenglai noticed the weakened soul of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt immediately and frowned, expressing his displeasure.
Xiang Chengzhu was the old man who sat in the air with the wine flask in hand as he tortured the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. He was the Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
Xiang Chengzhu frowned, and a hint of anger flashed through his eyes. Its just a few partial souls. Why are you kicking up such a great fuss? There are still plenty of partial souls of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt left.
Xiang Chengzhu, every single strand of partial soul from the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt is of great use. Theyre crucial for refining Soul Elevation pills. You cant waste them like this, Xiang Fenglai said sternly, The ancestor didnt specially station you here for you to waste these precious partial souls.
However, his words seemed to set off Xiang Chengzhu. Xiang Chengzhus malice surged and killing intent erupted from his body. He bellowed, p.i.s.s off! If you say anything more, you better not blame me for what I do to you!
Xiang Fenglais expression became ugly. He took out a tablet and said coldly, Under great elder Xiang Bais instructions, Ive come to collect a partial soul of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt!
Xiang Chengzhu reached out, and the tablet in Xiang Fenglais hand immediately ended up with him. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he replied coldly, If youre here to collect partial souls, then collect the partial souls. Whyre you saying all that nonsense instead? You better be careful. Words lead to problems.
After saying that, Xiang Chengzhu formed a seal with his hands and controlled the eighteen golden chains with a secret technique. Under the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts painful howls, he removed a partial soul and handed it over to Xiang Fenglai with great familiarity.
Xiang Fenglai sealed the partial soul into a jade bottle before leaving without looking back. However, right when he was about to pa.s.s through the formation, he suddenly stopped and turned around, saying to below, Xiang Chengzhu, I know your personality has become rather twisted from being reduced to a mount of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the past, but you have to remember that inside the sect, we have to follow the rules of the sect regardless of the situation.
After leaving that behind, Xiang Fenglai strode through the formation.
Xiang Fenglai! A furious bellow erupted from deep underground. Xiang Chengzhu stood mid-air as surging killing intent radiated from him. A medium quality G.o.d artifact had already appeared in his hand. He was basically tempted to chase after him right now.
But in the end, he seemed to recall something, and he did not end up moving. He directed all of his fury towards the partial soul of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
The Thousand Soul Demon Exalts partial soul was trapped, so despite his great strength as an Immortal Exalt, he was unable to resist at all against an Immortal Emperor. He was left howling from the torture.
In the dark, Jian Chens eyes flickered as he stared straight at the deranged Xiang Chengzhu who constantly growled. He was extremely surprised.
He did know that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had once enslaved some disciples of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants as mounts during their peak, but he never thought the Immortal Emperor before him was actually one of them.
However, he soon directed his attention towards the eighteen golden chains. After studying them closely, he gained an estimate of their strength very soon.
The eighteen chains established a formation that could imprison the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and leave him powerless, completely at the whim of others.
However, if he looked at the chains individually, they could be easily cut through as long as the strength of the attack had reached the First Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt.
If these chains are all destroyed, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts separated soul will merge back together immediately. Hes a mighty Demon Exalt, yet hes tortured like this with his partial souls removed for refining pills. I really dont have the courage to imagine what will become of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants once he breaks free.
Jian Chen smiled gently.
He silently backed out of the underground cave and continued searching through the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, looking for the Immortal Emperors that were extremely likely to also be imprisoned here that Dan Chenzi mentioned.
He was like a ghost, drifting past the mountains of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants silently. In the end, after crossing several dozen mountains, he found another cave hidden by a formation in a remote region.
In the dim and moist cave, Jian Chen discovered over a dozen metal cages. Each cage imprisoned an expert. There were approximately an even number of Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors.
They all maintained seated positions with their eyes shut. Their faces were pale and haggard. They were extremely feeble.
Jian Chen could already tell that all of these people had their essence blood drained. Clearly, the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had collected it against their will.
As a matter of fact, there were some Immortal Emperors whose organs were missing, having been dug out forcefully. Their missing organs were in a state of reconstruction.
Whether it were Immortal Monarchs or Immortal Emperors, they could all naturally regenerate their bodies and essence blood, but it would take up a large amount of vitality and time.
Outside, experts like them were all existences of significant status, yet at this moment, they were being reared by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants like hens.
Suddenly, a shrill cry rang out from the depths, which drew Jian Chens attention.
Jian Chen looked over and discovered another pitch-black tunnel at the end of the cave, leading even deeper.
In the next moment, Jian Chen drifted over, about to investigate what it led to.
But as soon as Jian Chen moved, a feeble wisp of the senses of the soul suddenly appeared, which immediately made him halt. He suddenly looked at one of the metal cages nearby.
The senses of the soul continued to pulse, emerging from the s.p.a.ce near the metal cage as if it was communicating with the imprisoned Immortal Emperor.
Interesting. Someone else has actually infiltrated this place.
Jian Chen was surprised. He searched through the s.p.a.ce there carefully, but he failed to sense where the person was hiding.
This persons senses of the soul cant escape my senses, which means his cultivation is beneath mine, yet he can hide so well right in front of me. Looks like this person has either grasped some kind of powerful secret technique for hiding, or he possesses a treasure that can hide him, just like me,
Jian Chen thought. He changed directions and silently approached the metal cage.
