Chapter 3713: Lu Wujin (One)

The atmosphere in the dignified city lord’s estate was rather heavy. The Immortal Exalts from various organisations across the Reverent Observance Heaven gathered there, imploring the Observance Heaven City to step forward and stop the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ wild and violent acts.

Even though many of them knew that the Observance Heaven City never interfered with the various grievances of the Reverent Observance Heaven, they could only give it their best shot as they had no other option.

“City lord Jiang, if you are troubled by our request, then could you contact the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets for us so that he can find the person behind the destruction of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants? As for the remuneration for the pavilion master to take action personally, I’m certain that all the peak organisations on the Reverent Observance Heaven are willing to chip in.”

An Immortal Exalt suggested.

Everyone present agreed with the suggestion very quickly.

“As long as it can stop the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ slaughter, we’re willing to do it regardless of the price, or we can only remain hiding in the Observance Heaven City forever.”

“This issue is that we can’t stay in the Observance Heaven City forever. We’ve brought so many disciples with us. The yearly fee is anything but low. As for forever, you can forget about it.”

Listening to the pleas and complaints of the Immortal Exalts below, Jiang Pingtian sighed gently from the city lord’s throne and said, “You all know the rules of the Observance Heaven City. It’s true that we can’t interfere with the conflict of various organisations. However, I can try and see if I can get into contact with the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. If I can, I will pass on what you told me word for word. Whether he will help you is not something I can decide.”

Jiang Pingtian clasped his fist at the Immortal Exalts beneath him and said seriously, “This is all that I can do for you. Please forgive me.”

“Thank you, city lord Jiang!” The Immortal Exalts below all rejoiced.

They had visited the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets before and received the news that the pavilion master was in secluded cultivation, so he was not to be disturbed. As a result, after running out of options, they could only come and ask the city lord for help.

At this moment, a guard ran into the hall and knelt down on one knee. “City lord, the Wayless Immortal Exalt of the Immortal Feather sect wishes to see you!”

“What? The Immortal Feather sect? Don’t tell me it’s the Immortal Feather sect of the twelve courts of heaven?”

“Isn’t that as clear as day? What other organisation in the Immortals’ World has the courage to use that name?”

Before Jiang Pingtian could even respond to the arrival of the Immortal Feather sect, the Immortal Exalts in the hall were all startled. To many of them, the twelve courts of heaven were colossal existences that they could only look up to.

“Please let him in!” Jiang Pingtian said calmly from the throne.

The twelve courts of heaven possessed very great status, enough to strike fear into countless organisations. However, from the perspective of late Immortal Exalts, the influence and prestige around the twelve courts of heaven diminished drastically.

“Greetings, city lord Jiang!” Very soon, the Wayless Immortal Exalt appeared in the city lord’s estate. He smiled gently. He seemed to be in an extremely good mood.

The Immortal Exalts gathered in the hall all stood up and bowed towards the Wayless Immortal Exalt with their fists clasped.

The Wayless Immortal Exalt returned the gesture individually.

“Wayless, you seem to be in quite a good mood today,” said Jiang Pingtian.

“Of course, because I’ve finally found a way to deal with the frustration that has built up in me for all this time.” The Wayless Immortal Exalt smiled.

Jiang Pingtian’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was obviously aware of the frustration that had built up in the Wayless Immortal Exalt’s heart. That was clearly due to the humiliation he had suffered from the Thousand Immortal General in the past, Chang Yang.

The Wayless Immortal Exalt had never been able to get over this. He still clung onto this matter firmly. Coupled with the fact that a great elder of the Immortal Feather sect had perished at the hands of Chang Yang during the pursuit in outer space, the Wayless Immortal Exalt had even fewer reasons to spare Chang Yang.

As a result, over the years, he had been constantly searching for various clues, trying to uncover Chang Yang’s identity and background.

“Don’t tell me Wayless already knows his identity?” Jiang Pingtian thought to himself.

The Wayless Immortal Exalt looked at the native Immortal Exalts of the Reverent Observance Heaven. These people were all ancestors of organisations that ruled over a region. They possessed great status, where they could kick up a great stir with just a stomp of their feet.

However, they were faced with the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants that was known as the greatest organisation on the Reverent Observance Heaven, so these peak organisations had all been overwhelmed.

“Everyone, if you want to settle the troubles you face today, you don’t necessarily have to go and find the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Even if you do, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets might refuse to answer your question. Otherwise, the pavilion master would not have chosen to go into secluded cultivation at a time like this,” said the Wayless Immortal Exalt.

The expressions of the Immortal Exalts present immediately changed when they heard what the Wayless Immortal Exalt said. One of them immediately stood up, clasping his fist. “Senior Wayless, don’t tell me you have a way to resolve the problems we’re facing right now?”

He was the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Fire Mountain, the Master of Soaring Fire. He was a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.

“Fellow Wayless, if you really can resolve the problems we’re facing right now, all of the organisations on the Reverent Observance Heaven will remember your kindness.” The ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Three Elements stood up.

They had realised it too. The chances of finding the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets were very slim. The implications of the pavilion master choosing to undergo secluded cultivation at a time like this was worthy of further thought.

The Wayless Immortal Exalt nodded with a smile and said, “If that’s the case, please accompany me to meet with the seven fellows from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”

As soon as they heard they would be meeting with the seven ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the Immortal Exalts all hesitated.

Right now, the seven ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were like gods of misfortune in their eyes. They could not even avoid them when they wanted to, so going to find them was basically no different from walking to their deaths.

“Let’s go. This time, we’re going with the fellow from the Immortal Feather sect. Even if the old elephants want to come after us, they have to take the Immortal Feather sect’s pride and dignity into consideration,” said the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Three Elements.

Afterwards, the Wayless Immortal Exalt left the Observance Heaven City with over a dozen Immortal Exalts. With his departure, the city lord sat on the throne and sank into his thoughts.

“The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has stirred up a big enough mess on the Reverent Observance Heaven this time. They actually destroyed several peak organisations one after another. I wonder if Wayless from the Immortal Feather sect can stop the storm this time.” The Master of Fire Virtue sat beneath Jiang Pingtian and shook his head with a gentle sigh.

“Over a million clansmen of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were actually annihilated silently, so it’s no wonder why the old elephants would go crazy. Probably very few people would remain rational if something like that happened to them,” said the other vice city lord of the Observance Heaven City, Lu Wujin. He was the ancestor of the Thousand Mountains clan, a peak organisation on the Taiji Heaven.

Lu Wujin’s cultivation was beneath Jiang Pingtian and the Master of Fire Virtue’s, but neither of them dared to underestimate him.

That was because Lu Wujin had defeated a Seventh Heavenly Layer opponent when he contended for the position of vice city lord before earning the spot.

Suddenly, Lu Wujin sensed something. His gaze pierced through the Observance Heaven City and reached into the distant land. He gradually frowned.

“Sigh, the Tianhai clan has been destroyed as well. The Reverent Observance Heaven has lost yet another peak organisation. Once this crisis ends, the Reverent Observance Heaven’s strength will plummet because of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ actions.” The Master of Fire Virtue lamented over the situation. He looked towards Lu Wujin seated there and said, “The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has gone to the Immortal Sect of Six Combinations. The Immortal Sect of Six Combinations seems to have a very deep connection with your Thousand Mountains clan. How do you plan on dealing with this, fellow Wujin?”
