Chapter 3613: Challenging Immortal Exalts

As soon as Jian Chen said that, the atmosphere in the commander’s estate suddenly froze. After a moment of silence, chilling killing intent immediately erupted.

The hall seemed to turn into a cavern of ice. A chill filled the entire estate.

Apart from Immortal Exalt Wei Qi and Immortal Exalt Ye Beifeng, Immortal Exalt Sha Xue, the Truepeer Immortal Exalt, and Immortal Exalt Ji Yun all stood up. They stared at Jian Chen sharply as if they had been violently provoked. They were infuriated.

“How dare you! Chang Yang, if you’re really that bold, why don’t you repeat what you just said?” Immortal Exalt Sha Xue stared at Jian Chen murderously. His presence as a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt erupted, rushing towards Jian Chen.

Jian Chen immediately felt his body sink as if the sky weighed on his body.

However, he was a powerful Immortal Emperor, so the presence of a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt obviously was not enough to crush him.

He stood there with his head held high and his presence steady, without any hint of fear. “Seniors, I'm also extremely curious about the details of your cultivation methods, abilities, secret techniques, and all of your god artifacts. I was wondering if you could show me these secrets so that you could satisfy my curiosity?”

Jian Chen repeated what he said before. He spoke calmly and seriously.

However, it was exactly because of his serious demeanour that Immortal Exalt Sha Xue felt like he was being mocked. Immortal Exalt Sha Xue’s eyes rapidly began to shine with red light. The sharp killing intent was basically about to materialise as something tangible.

“Say that again, if you dare!” Immortal Exalt Sha Xue erupted with raging killing intent and stared straight at Jian Chen as he stressed each word.

“Again?” Surprise flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes, but he soon sneered inside and repeated what he said a second time.

Immortal Exalt Sha Xue said nothing. He clenched his hands firmly such that his fingernails pierced his palm. His entire body shook in anger.

However, with the rules of the Observance Heaven City, he was not bold enough to lay his hands on Jian Chen despite his raging killing intent.

The Truepeer Immortal Exalt, Immortal Exalt Ji Yun, Immortal Exalt Ye Beifeng, and Immortal Exalt Wei Qi all watched on quietly. Sha Xue’s humiliation made the four of them forcefully suppress their fury.

Through Sha Xue, they had gained a further understanding of Jian Chen’s personality. He was not someone to be threatened. If they continued to coerce him by using their backgrounds and identities, they probably would end up humiliating themselves as well.

“Wei Qi, you really need to do something about this subordinate of yours.” Immortal Exalt Ji Yun left behind that message and left in a huff.

“Calm down, Sha Xue!” The Truepeer Immortal Exalt grabbed Immortal Exalt Sha Xue by the shoulder and slowly channelled a cool aura into his body, allowing him to slowly recover from his anger.

“Chang Yang, you better remain in the Observance Heaven City for the rest of your life, or…” Immortal Exalt Sha Xue sneered before leaving without looking back.

The Truepeer Immortal Exalt also bade farewell to Immortal Exalt Wei Qi and left the commander’s estate.

As the last one, Ye Beifeng glanced at Jian Chen deeply before saying nothing at all and leaving as well.

In the blink of an eye, only Immortal Exalt Wei Qi remained out of the five commanders.

Immortal Exalt Wei Qi’s expression was rather ugly. He levitated in the air and looked down. After a good while, he said sternly, “Chang Yang, you made the two disciples from the Immortal Feather sect guard the entrance?”

“I did do that!” Jian Chen said.

“What mistake did they make? Why are you punishing them like this?” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi asked.

“The two disciples from the Immortal Feather sect did not break any rules. The reason why they’re watching the entrance is because I feel like I need more people there, which was why I sent them. This is within the range of my authority. It’s not breaking any rules,” Jian Chen said calmly.

“But if you do that, you’ll get in the way of their cultivation. If the disciples of the Immortal Feather sect’s cultivation is affected, the consequences are even more severe than a delay in your cultivation as an Immortal Exalt. As a result, when you go back, immediately send the two disciples of the Immortal Feather sect back to where they were before. Do not dispatch them to handle anything in the future.” Immortal Emperor Wei Qi’s face was sunken, staring at Jian Chen emotionlessly. He spoke like he was issuing an order.

Immortal Emperor Wei Qi paused slightly before continuing, “On top of that, during the few millennia you spend as the Thousand Immortal General, you have to serve the two disciples of the Immortal Feather sect to the greatest of your ability. You have to do everything you can to satisfy their every request. That will be your apology for making them watch the entrance.”

“Senior, are you getting a general of the Observance Heaven City to stoop to the level of serving the lowest soldiers?” Jian Chen’s face sank.

“It’s not serving them. It’s providing them with convenience. And, as your superior, I have the right to order you to do this. Of course, you can choose to ignore the order, but ignoring the order is defying orders,” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi said mildly.

Coldness flowed inside Jian Chen’s eyes. He stared straight at Immortal Exalt Wei Qi and asked, “You’re not from the Immortal Feather sect, are you?”

Immortal Exalt Wei Qi frowned and stared at Jian Chen sternly. He said nothing.

“Senior, you are still an Immortal Exalt after all. Even in the Immortals’ World, you stand on the apex and are highly respected, yet now, in order to suck up to the Immortal Feather sect, you’re making yourself a new enemy. Is this really worth it?” Jian Chen asked.

“Looks like you still don’t know what kind of position you’re in.” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi sneered. “Oh look, my commander’s estate just happens to be in need of someone to guard the entrance. Immortal Emperor Chang Yang, you don’t have to go back to your general’s estate now. You can stay and watch the entrance.”

“If you can’t even guard the entrance properly, then you can go and clean the streets of the Observance Heaven City.”

“It’s not like there hasn’t been any Immortal Emperors who have cleaned the streets of the city in the history of the Observance Heaven City before. I wonder if you’ll become one of them.”

Jian Chen sighed gently in response. “Looks like you’re determined to make things difficult for me because of the Immortal Feather sect, senior. If that’s the case, then I’ll be forced to offend you.” With a thought, the seal in his body immediately appeared. As he clutched the seal, it immediately shone brightly. The power of the Observance Heaven City surged forth.

At that moment, the official seal in Jian Chen’s hand seemed to form a wondrous connection with the Observance Heaven City. Not only did this allow him to mobilise part of the city’s power, but it also borrowed the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City to convey his message.

“Thousand Immortal General Chang Yang formally issues a challenge to Myriad Immortal Commander Wei Qi!”

Jian Chen held his seal and stared at Immortal Exalt Wei Qi sharply. He called out, “Senior Wei Qi, do you have the courage to accept?”

Immortal Exalt Wei Qi’s expression immediately sank. Fighting was forbidden in the Observance Heaven City. Even with his high-ranking post, he could not break that rule.

However, they could issue challenges to one another. There was only one limitation—only those with lower cultivations could issue challenges to those of higher cultivations. People with higher cultivations could not challenge those weaker than them.

“Senior Wei Qi, you’re welcome to decline, but if you do decline, news of this will spread across the entire city!” Jian Chen said to Immortal Exalt Wei Qi.

“Decline? Why would I decline?” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi slowly stood up. A tremendous presence slowly erupted from him, like a slumbering beast awakening, about to demonstrate its vicious side.

“You want to challenge me as a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor? Chang Yang, don’t tell me you really think you have the ability to face off against Immortal Exalts just because you defeated Ye Qingyun who reached Immortal Exalt through the use of a special pill? Looks like it’s time for you to witness exactly how powerful true Immortal Exalts are.” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi spoke with a chilling tone. He looked at Jian Chen with absolute frigidness.

In the next moment, the power of the Observance Heaven City descended, wrapping around Immortal Exalt Wei Qi and Jian Chen and taking them away.

By the time they reappeared, they were already on an ancient battlefield. Consolidated by the power of the Observance Heaven City, the space of the ancient battlefield became extremely sturdy.
