Chapter 2536: The Grand Elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult

“Yaxi Lian, you cannot forget my previous words . No matter how great your grievances with Jian Chen were in the past, you need to forget them all . Do you understand?” The old woman who accompanied Yaxi Lian suddenly looked at her as she spoke sternly .

“Yes, master!” Yaxi Lian bit her lip and agreed reluctantly . She felt humiliated .

In the past, she was publicly humiliated by fairy Hao Yue in the Xuandao Empire of the northern region of the Cloud Plane . She had already become filled with hatred . Fairy Hao Yue was too powerful, so there was nothing she could do about her . As a result, Yaxi Lian shifted all the blame onto Jian Chen .

She was about to see Jian Chen again, but her master had ordered her to hide any and all of her hatred . Yaxi Lian naturally felt wronged after everything she went through .

Although her original form was a nine-tailed fox, a species publically renowned for their promiscuity, she truly guarded her integrity well, contrary to the rumours .

This was because when she absorbed the essence of men, she did it by planting her hand on their heads . There was no close contact at all .

In Jian Chen’s case, Yaxi Lian wanted to join with him because of his Chaotic Force . She wanted to use that method to absorb his Chaotic Force . However, when she reached a critical moment, fairy Hao Yue interrupted her .

“Sigh, even if I want to settle my grievances with him, what can I do? He’s no longer the puny Overgod that I could kill in the past . I’m not his opponent anymore . ” Yaxi Lian seemed to think it all through and sighed gently inside . She felt embittered .

The Empyrean Demon Cult had branches across the Saints’ World, so they were extremely knowledgeable . Yaxi Lian possessed a rather high status in the Empyrean Demon Cult, so she knew quite a lot .

She had heard a relatively high number of rumours regarding Jian Chen .

Yaxi Lian arrived outside the cave where Jian Chen and the others gathered as she experienced these feelings .

“Commander Yaxi Lian, we meet again . ” Jian Chen walked out from the cave . Behind him were Xu Ran and the protectors of the Tian Yuan clan .

At this moment, Jian Chen seemed like an important figure . Primordial realm protectors stood to his left and right, which enhanced his bearing .

Jian Chen could not help but think about what had happened when he first met Yaxi Lian as he looked at her .

Back then, Yaxi Lian was the commander of the seventh army of the Empyrean Demon Cult, a great late Godking, while he was only an Overgod . Yaxi Lian was so powerful that she was undefeatable in his eyes at that time . As a matter of fact, he could not even escape from her .

Now, a few decades later, he had already become a Primordial realm expert, possessing the ability to kill late Infinite Primes, while Yaxi Lian remained as a late Godking . This matter amazed Jian Chen .

Yaxi Lian said nothing . However, the old woman beside her clasped her fist towards Jian Chen politely . “I am the Fox Saint Elder of the eight elders of the Empyrean Demon Cult . Greetings to the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan!”

“Fox Saint Elder, you probably came especially for me . May I ask why you are looking for me?” Jian Chen looked at the Fox Saint Elder . He could vaguely sense her cultivation . She was roughly a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime .

“Under the grand elder’s orders, I’ve come to invite the patriarch to our branch on the Delight Plane as a guest,” said the Fox Saint Elder .

Jian Chen was interested and asked, “Who’s your grand elder?”

“The grand elder’s name is Cheng Ming . ”

“Cheng Ming? I don’t know him . ”

“The grand elder said that if the patriarch is unwilling to come, I should show the patriarch this,” said the Fox Saint Elder before taking out a small and exquisite hairpin .

Jian Chen’s heart leapt when he saw the hairpin, as it was something that Xiao Ling always used . She had brought it up with her from the Tian Yuan Continent .

“Xiao Ling is there?” Jian Chen struggled to remain composed .

The Fox Saint Elder nodded .

“Let’s go . Lead the way immediately,” Jian Chen said rather eagerly .

“Patriarch, you must think it through . They’re the Empyrean Demon Cult,” added many elders from behind Jian Chen . They were clearly in fear .

There was basically no one from the Cloud Plane who did not fear the Empyrean Demon Cult . In particular, the Tian Empire had been as prominent as the midday sun a few decades ago and were about to conquer the entire plane, but they were destroyed by a single palm strike from the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult in the end .

From then onwards, the Empyrean Demon Cult became the most terrifying organisation in the eyes of all the Primordial realm experts on the Cloud Plane .

As a result, some of the protectors became extremely unsettled and fearful now that they met members of the Empyrean Demon Cult .

“You don’t need to worry . ” Jian Chen comforted everyone . Others did not know about the details of the Empyrean Demon Cult but he did .

The great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult that all the peak experts of the Cloud Plane feared was senior Mo Tianyun .

Afterwards, Jian Chen made his way towards the branch of the Empyrean Demon Cult established on the Delight Plane under the Fox Saint Elder and Yaxi Lian’s lead .

This branch of the Empyrean Demon Cult was located towards the edge of the central region, on some extremely barren plains .

This branch of the Empyrean Demon Cult was a completely-black divine hall . It was of an impressive quality and possessed extremely great defences . Within a range of a million kilometres around the divine hall, demonic aura surged as dark clouds, blotting out the entire region permanently .

Under the Fox Saint Elder’s lead, Jian Chen’s group entered the divine hall smoothly .

As soon as they entered the divine hall, the protectors of the Tian Yuan clan immediately felt like they had just entered the belly of the beast . They could not help but experience chills .

Jian Chen and Xu Ran remained composed as they followed behind .

Along the way, Yaxi Lian would glance back at Jian Chen time and time again . Her eyes were filled with mixed feelings, as well as resentment that was very well hidden .

“Brother, are you confident in all this? Surely we’re not just striding into the belly of the beast, right?” Nubis asked secretly at this moment . He was in fear . Even he felt no confidence about all this .

Jian Chen shot him a glance to tell him to stop worrying and said nothing .

The group travelled straight up, arriving on the highest floor of the divine hall very soon . In the end, they stopped within a rather gloomy hall .

“Grand elder, I have brought the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jian Chen,” the Fox Saint Elder said politely .

“You are dismissed . ” An obscure voice drifted out in the hall . It came from everywhere, making it impossible to identify where the person was .

“Yes, sir!” The Fox Saint Elder bowed once again before leaving politely with Yaxi Lian .

After the Fox Saint Elder had left, a deep, blue light suddenly appeared in the gloomy hall .

This was the glow of a soul . Only souls at a certain level of strength could emit such light .

An illusionary old man appeared before Jian Chen silently . He seemed to be nothing special at all, where he would not stand out at all if he was thrown into a crowd .

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Jian Chen . He studied him carefully . He directly ignored the people behind Jian Chen, including even Xu Ran .

It was as if only Jian Chen existed before him, where even Xu Ran struggled to raise any of his attention despite being a Fifth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime .

“A soul?” Jian Chen stared at the ‘grand elder’ and was surprised .

He could tell with a single glance that the grand elder before him did not have a body . He was just a soul, not even the clone of a soul .
