Chapter 3759: The Incident in the Immortal Rising City

After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Jian Chen and elder Ling took their seats. An extremely exquisite censer coiled with smoke between them, which gave off a refres.h.i.+ng and pleasant fragrance.

Fellow, youve truly earned my admiration for enforcing justice and purging evil by eliminating the Tiger Roar clan. If there were a few more righteous figures like you in the Immortals World, perhaps this world would be a little better. Elder Ling personally poured Jian Chen a cup of alcohol made from numerous heavenly resources. He was filled with admiration.

Since you designate the Tiger Roar clan as evil, why didnt you stop them? The Merchant Union of Star Brilliances strength is supreme. Eliminating a mere Tiger Roar clan is anything but difficult for you, Jian Chen said casually.

When he heard that, elder Ling sighed gently and said with some difficulty, You might not be aware, but our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance does not get involved in any feuds. The principle we stick to is that we only do business. We will do any business that is within our range of abilities.

Of course, apart from some heinous deeds.

For example, if someone offered us a great sum to deal with the Tiger Roar clan, our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance would accept this job and uphold our end of the deal.

To be honest, many organisations located in Falling Cloud City have sent people to our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance over the years, but none of them were able to afford the price.

When we accept jobs targeting large organisations, we have a special department for investigation. We will come up with a price corresponding to the organisations strength and background, as well as the difficulty of the job. The price to go after the Tiger Roar clan would not be enough even if the entire Falling Cloud City was offered as payment.

What is the organisation behind the Tiger Roar clan? Jian Chen asked.

Elder Ling squinted his eyes and said, This piece of news will cost five hundred thousand five-coloured immortal crystals!

Five hundred thousand five-coloured immortal crystals? Probably even some Immortal Emperors cant produce a sum like that. Just asking about who is behind the Tiger Roar clan actually comes at such a great price? Jian Chen was surprised.

Elder Ling smiled mysteriously and said, Theyve hidden themselves very well, so the price required is a little higher. After all, the more secretive the information, the more its worth.

After saying that, elder Ling pa.s.sed a s.p.a.ce Ring to Jian Chen and said, Fellow, these are the heavenly resources you require. Our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance basically mobilised all of our forces to a.s.semble around fifteen thousand sets in the end. We have many other individual heavenly resources. If you require them, we can provide them to you too.

Moreover, Ive already contacted the branches on the other heavens. Theyre all coordinating s.h.i.+pments right now. Youll only have to wait a little longer. Our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance will definitely be able to gather a hundred thousand sets for you.

Jian Chen browsed through the list of individual heavenly resources and discovered that they were all the kind that were relatively easy to nurture and could be ma.s.s-produced. He still had many of those heavenly resources on him.

At this moment, both Jian Chen and elder Lings expressions changed. They both looked at the sky at the same time. Their gazes seemed to pa.s.s through the various obstructions, allowing them to see what was going on outside.

In the next moment, powerful ripples of energy suddenly surged from the inner city. The colossal formation that protected the Immortal Rising City began to operate at full strength. Energy rampaged through the surroundings.

A powerful energy barrier draped down around the inner city from above, instantly covering the inner city.

After the energy barrier took shape, the Immortal Rising City seemed to be split apart, separated into two regions.

The central region was protected by the energy barrier from the formation, while the outside region was completely exposed.

At this moment, the inner city and outer city were completely separated. No one could move between them.

This is the Immortal Rising Citys most powerful protective formation. It uses up a tremendous amount of energy whenever it is activated. Maintaining the formation depletes a sizeable amount of energy too. Unless they face tremendous danger, they would never activate the formation so easily.

Looks like the Immortal Rising City has made some powerful enemies, elder Ling stared at the colossal formation that enveloped the inner city and said sternly.

Jian Chen furrowed his brows. The Merchant Union of Star Brilliance was located in the busiest part of the inner city, so he was also trapped in here with the activation of the protective formation.

It was not just him. All of the immortals in the inner city were unable to leave as well. Even the teleportation formations scattered through the inner city had been shut down.

Jian Chens eyes flickered. He accepted the fifteen thousand sets of heavenly resources that he had purchased from the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance and bade farewell to elder Ling before leaving in a hurry.

Master, whats happening? As soon as he returned to the courtyard he had rented, Jing Mumu rushed over to Jian Chens side. She looked at the colossal formation that covered the sky. The tremendous pressure made her feel uneasy.

Jing Feng also arrived before Jian Chen. His eyes were filled with fear.

Dont worry. Just focus on cultivating. Jian Chen comforted Jing Mumu before looking in the direction of the city lords estate.

The centre of the formation was the city lords estate.

There were eight other formation foundations in the vicinity of the city lords estate. Not only were these eight foundations important points of support, but they also served as eight important wells of energy.

The eight formation foundations were located among the eight organisations of the Immortal Rising City.

Looks like the city lord of the Immortal Rising City has run into some trouble,

Jian Chen thought. He could not help but recall the Immortal Exalts presence that had suddenly appeared before vanis.h.i.+ng into the city lords estate three days ago.

Back then, the presence gave off a sense of feebleness, clearly due to heavy injuries!

At this moment, two powerful presences approached the protective formation around the city from the outside, flying over with unbelievable speed and stopping above the Immortal Rising City.

They were two figures that shone with dazzling light. They hovered in the air like a pair of suns. They were so bright that some of the weaker cultivators could not look at them directly.

At this moment, the two figures radiated with supreme might that shook the surroundings. It also struck fear into the hearts of countless people in the city below.

Jian Chen stood in the serene courtyard within the inner city and stared at the two figures blocked outside by the barrier. He murmured, Its two Immortal Exalts, both at the Second Heavenly Layer!

What? I-I-Immortal Exalts Jing Feng immediately widened his eyes when he heard Jian Chens murmur. He could not help but gasp as a chill ran down his spine.

To a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal without a particularly powerful background like him, Immortal Emperors were already powerful enough. They were figures he could only look up to.

As for Immortal Exalts, they only existed in legends.

Yet right now, two Immortal Exalts had actually appeared all of a sudden, which obviously left him quite frightened.

As for Jing Mumu, she seemed relatively calmer. In reality, she still had not developed the concept of an Immortal Exalt in her head yet.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, hand over the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture, or well turn your Immortal Rising City upside down today! A powerful voice rang out from the sky. The pressure filled the entire s.p.a.ce, and the terrifying sound waves turned into roaring thunder, echoing through the entire Immortal Rising City.
