Chapter 2187: Wanted

An undetectable cold light immediately flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes when he heard the Empyrean Demon Cult again.

He could still clearly remember how he and Kai Ya had been hunted down by one of the vice-leaders, Huai An, on the Cloud Plane. He could remember every moment of when they fled desperately to the Blood Sun Empire.

He was only an Overgod back then. Against Huai An who had reached the Primordial realm, he was literally helpless. If it were not for the divine king, who kept Huai An busy for a while, he probably would not have been able to escape to the Blood Sun Empire.

However, even with that being the case, Huai An still pursued them to the imperial capital of the Blood Sun Empire. If a Primordial realm expert from the Blood Sun Empire did not intervene and stop Huai An, Jian Chen and Kai Ya probably would not have been able to board the spatial battleship and leave the Cloud Plane.

It could be said that they had left against their wills, forced to do so by the vice-leader of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Huai An. Jian Chen did not even have the chance to bid farewell to the people of the Tian Yuan clan.

Naturally, he held extremely deep resentment for Huai An.

“I wonder if I can kill Huai An once I reach the thirteenth layer of the Chaotic Body,” Jian Chen pondered. He could not help but tighten his fist. He was rather eager to increase his strength.

“Senior Xu Ran, I want to stay on planet Tianming for a while. I need to enter seclusion immediately and raise my strength. I don’t plan on leaving until I break through,” Jian Chen quickly made up his mind and said to Xu Ran.

Xu Ran thought about it a little and nodded, “That works too. I just happen to need some time for cultivation as well. Although I’ve already recovered from my wounds, I still need quite a lot of time to recover my lost cultivation so that I can return to my peak condition.”

Afterwards, the three of them landed on planet Tianming together. They were about to find a city as a temporary place to settle down in, but when they passed through a divine kingdom, they saw a battlefield in the distance where smoke rose up everywhere. An army composed of many Origin realm and Godhood cultivators were engaged in a battle of life and death, leading to so much bloodshed that it formed rivers.

In the sky, powerful energy formed storms that wreaked havoc in the surroundings. Several dozen Godkings engaged in an intense battle.

“It’s the Empyrean Demon Cult!” Looking at the demonic aura that occupied half the sky, Jian Chen could tell with a single glance that one side belonged to the Empyrean Demon Cult as he had also gone through something similar.

As he watched soldiers constantly die on the battlefield, Jian Chen fell silent. He felt sorrow for their deaths from the bottom of his heart.

He already knew that the Empyrean Demon Cult waged wars constantly in different places not to increase their strength. Rather, it was to collect the essence blood and soul energy of all the cultivators who died in the war. After that, they could condense blood beads and soul beads through a powerful formation.

After sighing secretly, Jian Chen did not stay there for much longer. He travelled off into the distance.

Before long, they stopped in the imperial capital of an ancient empire called ‘Thousand Leaf’.

“Not only are there powerful formations protecting this city, but the origin energy here is also several times denser than outside. Let’s just stay here for now,” Xu Ran looked at the grand city and said to Jian Chen and Kai Ya.

But very soon, her expression became extremely strange. She stared at Jian Chen deeply and said, “You better disguise yourself.”

“Disguise myself?” Jian Chen was surprised when he heard that. He looked at the city up ahead like he was in thought as he immediately began to disguise himself.

Before long, he and Kai Ya had adopted a completely different appearance. Concealing their presences, they entered the city with Xu Ran.

As soon as they set foot in the city, Jian Chen saw many wanted posters depicting him. The side of the image depicted his various characteristics, including the techniques he was skilled in, what kind of laws he used, and so on.

“The people who have set a bounty on me is actually the Solitary Sword lineage.” When Jian Chen saw the three words on the bottom of the poster, his face hardened.

“As long as you provide a tip that leads to Jian Chen, you can obtain a vast amount of wealth from the Solitary Sword Ancestor, and he’ll owe you a favour. If you can directly capture Jian Chen and hand over him to the Solitary Sword Ancestor, he’ll include three chances for the Solitary Sword Ancestor to take action personally for whatever is needed. Tsktsktsk. I never would have thought that this young man called Jian Chen would actually be so valuable. Through him, it’s possible to obtain three chances of asking a Grand Prime to take action personally.”

“Moreover, the person is the Solitary Sword Ancestor. The Solitary Sword Ancestor is a famed figure across the Saints’ World. Even among Grand Primes, he’s quite the expert,” Xu Ran glanced at Jian Chen mysteriously and sighed emotionally.

“Right? The Solitary Sword Ancestor is a renowned peak expert of the current Saints’ World. A single favour from him is enough to interest many everlasting empires and peak organisations, let alone being able to ask him to take action for whatever you want three times. Ever since the Solitary Sword Ancestor set up a bounty for Jian Chen a few years ago, not only have many organisations on our planet begun searching for this person called Jian Chen, but there have also been many organisations from the other great planes and great planets who have devoted quite a lot of effort to find him as well. They all want to be able to ask the Solitary Sword Ancestor to take action for them three times.”

People whispered nearby as soon as Xu Ran had finished speaking.

“Rumour has it that the Solitary Sword Ancestor is a Fifth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. That’s enough to become the undisputed greatest expert on our Dark Sky Planet.”

“Let alone our planet, the Solitary Sword Ancestor would be invincible on the great planes that rank towards the bottom as well…”

People discussed constantly in the surroundings. All of them talked about the Solitary Sword Ancestor in great interest.

“Let’s go and find somewhere to settle down first,” Xu Ran said to Jian Chen and left immediately.

After they had left, a slender but extremely ugly woman arrived before Jian Chen’s wanted poster. She stared at Jian Chen’s appearance closely as if she was trying to memorise it completely.

“Before me is an opportunity of a lifetime. Jian Chen, although we have no grievances, I have to find you because only by finding you will the Solitary Sword Ancestor owe me a favour, and through this favour, I can ask the Solitary Sword Ancestor to take action and rescue sister Qing Yixuan from the Gus clan.” The ugly woman clenched her hand tightly as determination flooded her eyes. She swore inside, “Sister Qing Yixuan, just wait for me. I will definitely find a way to save you.”

Jian Chen, Kai Ya, and Xu Ran found an inn to settle down in temporarily. They paid to stay for three years all at once. Jian Chen directly went to his room after that and set up formations to enter seclusion.

Jian Chen sat in the room as several Space Rings appeared in his hand. He began to tidy through the cultivation resources quietly to prepare for the breakthrough.
