Lan Caidie’s expression changed slightly. Her voice also became serious. “Tian Changji, don’t tell me you’ve also come for the resources on Yang Yutian? You’re a great elder of one of the twelve courts of heaven, the Immortal Feather sect. If you go after a junior over this petty amount of resources, I’m afraid it’ll only damage the reputation of your Immortal Feather sect if it makes it out.”
When he heard that, Tian Changji sneered. He stared at Lan Caidie and said, “There’s just the three of us here. Even if I actually do that, how will it make it out? After all, there’s no one else here.”
“Don’t tell me you will proactively spread this news and turn our Immortal Feather sect into a laughing stock who robs a junior of his resources?”
“Does your Ghost Immortal cult have that courage?”
Towards the end, Tian Changji’s tone suddenly sharpened. He used his strength as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor to threaten a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt fearlessly.
Lan Caidie’s face was sunken. “Tian Changji, it’s true that neither I nor the Ghost Immortal cult behind me has the courage to offend your Immortal Feather sect. Unfortunately, fellow Yang Yutian is no ordinary person. Not only is he favoured by princess Xing Caijian, but he’s also favoured by senior heavenly emperor of the Heavenly Star Palace. As a result, I will not just stand by and watch fellow Yang Yutian be threatened by you. If you insist on stealing fellow Yang Yutian’s heavenly resources, then I will definitely make this matter public.”
“I’d like to see how the ancestors of your Immortal Feather sect punishes a person who drags the reputation of your sect through the mud. You better witness the power of my Remains of the Ghost Immortal instead.”
Lan Caidie’s uncooperative attitude took Tian Changji by surprise, but he soon smiled. “I never thought you’d actually make such a great sacrifice for this person, but you better not use the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor to frighten me. If Yang Yutian really was someone favoured by the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, why would he have so little renown? Moreover, it’s not like I’m blind. While I’m also curious about why Xing Caijian treats him differently, there is something that I can be certain about. Before he came to the Skyscraping World, Xing Caijian did not know him.”
“If he really is favoured by the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, why would Xing Caijian not recognise him as the daughter of the heavenly emperor?”
“In other words, you have your mind set on stealing fellow Yang Yutian’s heavenly resources?” Lan Caidie said sternly. At the same time, she secretly communicated with Jian Chen, sternly warning him against developing a grudge with Tian Changji. If he really ran out of options, it would be best if he gave up a portion of his heavenly resources to deal with this issue.
Lan Caijian was clearly extremely wary of courts of heaven. She did not have the courage to provoke them at all, as they were colossal existences that could bring annihilation to the Ghost Immortal cult.
Tian Changji stared at Lan Caidie and said nothing. Lan Caidie did not continue either. For a moment, the atmosphere became quite oppressive.
The silence lasted for several seconds before Tian Changji suddenly smiled. Meanwhile, the oppressive atmosphere seemed to ease up with his smile.
“Vice cult leader Lan, your courage is indeed admirable. However, there is something that you’ve mistaken. Yang Yutian has plundered several dozen heavenly resources in the Skyscraping World. The heavenly resources he’s accumulated are enough to leave everyone here envious. Even I am no exception.”
“However, my primary reason for finding Yang Yutian is not for his heavenly resources. Instead, it is to confirm a matter.” Tian Changji smiled gently. Before Lan Caidie could respond, he suddenly looked at Jian Chen; his gaze immediately sharpened. His voice became chilling. “Recently, I received a piece of news that of the three great elders from our Immortal Feather sect that entered the Skyscraping World this time, the other two have both been killed by you. Yang Yutian, is this true?”
“What did you say? Fellow Yang Yutian killed two great elders of the Immortal Feather sect?” Before Jian Chen could reply, Lan Caidie blurted out in surprise. Her face was filled with shock and disbelief before turning to deep fear.
Against an organisation like the Immortal Feather sect, even killing an ordinary, low level disciple would be catastrophic for a peak organisation.
That was because the dignity of a court of heaven could not be besmirched!
As for killing great elders, the consequences were so terrifying that even Lan Caidie did not dare to imagine it.
However, there was something that she could be certain about. If she had killed a great elder of the Immortal Feather sect, even the Ghost Immortal cult would face devastation. Not even the Heavenly Star Palace could protect them.
“Tian Changji, you better not throw accusations around like that. Fellow Yang Yutian has no feud with your Immortal Feather sect, so why would he kill two great elders of your sect for no reason?” Lan Caidie’s tone became panicked. She was extremely stern. She was obviously aware that Jian Chen had the ability, but she still hoped that this was a misunderstanding.
The consequences for killing great elders of the Immortal Feather sect were far too severe.
Tian Changji did not pay any attention to Lan Caidie. He stared sharply at Jian Chen and growled, “Yang Yutian, did the other two great elders of our Immortal Feather sect die to your hand or not?”
“Fellow Yang Yutian, regardless of whether this is true or not, you can never admit to it. Once you admit it, there will be no more room for maneuver.” Lan Caidie communicated to Jian Chen sternly. She was extremely cautious, afraid that Tian Changji would overhear them.
Jian Chen smiled mysteriously. He ignored Lan Caidie’s advice and met Tian Changji’s gaze. He said with ease, “That’s right. The two other people who entered the Skyscraping World from the Immortal Feather sect were indeed killed by me. They’ve both perished. Now, only you’re missing.”
Lan Caidie immediately paled. At that moment, she had no idea what to do.
Tian Changji’s face was frosty. His eyes became filled with killing intent. He flew into a fury. “How bold of you, Yang Yutian. You actually killed great elders of our Immortal Feather sect. Even the Heavenly Star Palace won’t be able to protect you this time.”
With that, Tian Changji’s presence suddenly erupted. The pressure of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor radiated out. The light from three different laws circled around him.
He grasped three different ways. His Laws of the Sword were at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor, his Laws of Metal were at the Eighth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor, and his Laws of Wood were at the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor.
With the three laws, the pressure he gave off was so powerful that it directly approached the First Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt.
“This person killed two great elders of our Immortal Feather sect. His crimes cannot be forgiven. Vice cult leader Lan, if you want to bring destruction upon the Ghost Immortal cult, feel free to interfere.” Tian Changji’s voice was icy-cold. He did not even try to hide his killing intent. He held a fan in hand. As the fan unfolded, it shone brightly with the metallic glean of a sword. It turned into a silvery-white stream that swept towards Jian Chen.
Lan Caidie’s expression changed multiple times. She was uncertain and faced great conflict.
She could not afford to offend the Immortal Feather sect. Even with the power of the Remains of the Ghost Immortal, she still did not dare to face the wrath of the Immortal Feather sect.
However, Yang Yutian also happened to be a person favoured by the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor. If she simply stood by, she could not face the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor in the future.
