Chapter 437 - Meeting the Envoy of Immortals' League Again

With the arrival of these four people, the crowd immediately became silent, everyone felt a pressure, but this pressure did not come from the strength of their cultivation, but their identity. It was just like when the officers met the commander in chief

The four looked grim. With brows sharp as blades and eyes like lightning, the four quickly swept through the crowd. The leader of the pack immediately took out a gold token which shone brightly in the sun and was surrounded by a layer of mystic arts, in the middle of it carved the word, “League”.

At this moment, except for Xiaoyue, Immortals’ League, Su Yue of the Su family etc., everyone else was startled for a little and then they bowed down immediately to pay respects. This token was the Immortal’s Token issued by the main Immortals’ League, not the sub-alliance Immortals’ League of Tianyuan City. Seeing this token was as good as seeing the Chief of the Immortal’s League in person. The people did not expect that these four were actually from the main league, and at this moment they became somewhat cautious.

The four took a step forward, their eyes landed on Xiao Chen, and the head of the pack bellowed, “Are you, Xiao Chen!”

At this moment, the 12 people of Levitating Dark Fragrance including the severely injured Ziyun’er immediately stood around Xiao Chen in defense. Xiao Chen lightly pushed away Qingluan that was blocking in front of him, and took a step forward and said, “Yes, I’m. So?”

The head of the envoy narrowed his eyes, he glanced at Xiao Chen with eyes cold as lightning. He stretched out his hand and bellowed, “Take him down!”

The three envoys at the back took the order and immediately moved up and blocked the left, right side of Xiao Chen, as well as the pathway behind him. “Zing! Zing! Zing!” There was a blast. The 12 Levitating Dark Fragrance also called out their weapons, and in the sun, they looked even more thrilling.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and everyone held their breath. Last year, Xiao Chen destroyed the Immortals’ League of Tianyuan City, which led to the invasion of Devils’ sects and caused the Spiritual Meridian to be greatly damaged. Later, Xiao Chen was locked into the Devil Repressed Tower. However, now that he had broken out again from the tower, it was obvious that he was on the most wanted list of Immortals’ League.

But there was something everyone did not quite get it for a moment. How did the Immortals’ League know that Xiao Chen was here? Qi Heng could be seen standing with his hands behind his back in the crowd, looking calm. Obviously, when Xiao Chen went to obtain the Sword of the Vermillion Bird a few days ago, he had quietly sent someone to notify the Immortals’ League. As long Xiao Chen was alive, he could not sleep in peace.

The crowd was silent at the moment, everyone from Jade Qing Sect, and the fourth miss of the Su family, Su Yue, all frowned. The chief envoy looked at him coldly, and said gloomily, “Are you trying to resist arrest? Are you aware of the consequences?”

Fengxi once told Xiao Chen about a Grand Completion Realm cultivator who had resisted arrest many years ago, who was killed by the Rogue Immortal sent by the main league of Immortals’ League in the end. Of course, this was a long time ago.

Xiao Chen held his chest up and did not bat an eyelid, saying, “Xiao is no longer a member of your Orthodox Path Cultivators’ sect, why would I be bound by your Immortals’ League? So how could this be a resist to arrest? I’ve something to attend to, goodbye.”

As he took a step, the chief envoy immediately shot him a cold glare and said, “If you’re not a member of the Orthodox Path, then you’re one of the Devils’ sect, and I can kill you now!”

“Then you can try.” Xiao Chen’s eyes were equally cold and frosty. The eyes of the two collided, and the atmosphere was instantly solidified. Fengxi and the others saw that the matter was going in a bad direction and thought why Xiao Chen had to talk back and cause trouble for himself.

Seeing that the two were in a state of tension, the hearts of every one were strained to the extreme. Suddenly, the chief envoy let out a loud sigh and leaped. He attacked Xiao Chen like a flash of lightning. Xiao Chen instantly raised all the True Energy in his body and hit out a palm. The palm strength of the two collided, in an instant, a strong wind raged, causing the dust around them to stir up.

Even though the chief envoy had cultivation level of Nirvana Realm, at this moment, his heart sank and thought, “This boy has a strong inner strength.”

At this moment, the two fought against each other, and the strong wind was surging. The faces of the people in the vicinity hurt as bad as a knife was cutting them, and they went away. Xiao Chen’s white hair fluttered behind his shoulders, and his clothes were rattling. Although he was doing his best to defend, his eyes remained still. If he was in his heyday, it would not be so difficult, but just after his hair turned white in the Ice Hall, he seemed to have gradually lost the power in his body.

The two confronted each other for a while, and finally took back their respective strengths and took a few steps back. Qingluan immediately stepped forward to support Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to signal that everything was fine while his eyes remained cold on the chief envoy. Although his breath was disturbed by the opponent at this moment, he must not show the slightest bit.

The people around remained in silence, and the other three envoys did not dare to do anything rush under the guard of the Levitating Dark Fragrance. The chief envoy focused his mind and thought that this person was indeed a thorn, and was someone difficult to deal with. He looked at the others behind him and said coldly, “Aren’t you going to help me with catching this person yet!”

Upon hearing this, everyone nearby looked at each other. Perfected Immortal Fengxi sighed and said in a weird tone, “Aye, after attacking the Corpse Refinery Sect for several days and almost losing my life just now. I’m afraid I won’t be recovering from my injuries in a short while!” After speaking, he deliberately coughed up a few mouthfuls of bruised blood, and then he sat down with his knees crossed and began to meditate.

Perfected Immortal Qing Chen snorted coldly and swept the hem of his shirt. Then he closed his eyes and began to meditate. With the lead of these two, everyone around them sat down one by one and closed their eyes to meditate as well. After going through life and death together just now, no matter what Xiao Chen used to be, at least now it was impossible to help Immortals’ League to take him down.

“You! You guys!” The chief envoy flared up as he saw no one was going to help him. In a distance, Qi Heng watched silently. He did not expect that Immortals’ League had only sent over four people to him. They had underestimated Xiao Chen and he was very disappointed. He was not yet sure if Xiao Chen would be punished today. Hence, he could not act lightly, but to wait and see what would happen.

Not far away, Su Yue’s purple blouse fluttered. Her face was frosty, and she said coldly, “There are still Devils’ sects peeping in the dark now, so the four envoys don’t have to be so rush about this matter right?

The chief envoy focused his mind and acted as though he did not hear her. He suddenly made a seal and 8 golden light chains of at least 100-feet long appeared in midair. The 8 chains intertwined with each other and were glowing brightly under the sun. Everyone who had been pretending to close their eyes to meditate immediately opened their eyes upon sensing a surging Immortal energy. They exclaimed, “8-worlds Heavenly Prison Chain!”

The 8-worlds Heavenly Prison Chain was the supreme magic treasure of the Immortals’ League. The Immortal energy of the Four Sacred Guardians of the Immortals’ League had been streamed into it, and it was meant to capture the most nefarious fugitives. Once the eight chains were tangled onto the person, no matter how powerful the person, he would not be able to escape. The harder the person struggled, the tighter it would be and in the end, the souls and the body of the person would be destroyed.

Everyone did not dare to move. They watched the eight golden chains slowly shrouded over, and finally stopped 70 to 80 feet above the ground. The chief envoy yelled, “Are you going to walk by yourself or do we have to tie you up!”

The 12 people of the Levitating Dark Fragrance held tightly to their weapons. Xiao Chen also held his breath and his cold glance remained on the face of the envoy opposite him. He could sense the power of the 8-worlds Heavenly Prison Chain above him, and in his current state, it was something he could not break free from.

Suddenly, his hands stretched out, and a piece of Jade Zither was in his arms. The body of the Jade Zither was covered with dragons and phoenixes, and the carvings on it were complicated, glowing faintly with a layer of white radiance.

Everyone was startled again, Xiao Chen quickly put his fingers on the strings, and rays of radiances appeared. The whole valley was filled with an ancient divine power at once, even the eight chains in midair trembled.

The face of that chief envoy changed and seemed as though he wanted to say something, but Xiao Chen preempted and said, “Xiao must now leave, and don’t you force me. If my strings sounded and attracted that two people of the Devils’ sects afar to come here, I’m afraid this valley will be the burial ground of everyone here today.”

Actually, in Xiao Chen’s current state, he could not even sound a single string. In fact, his breathing had become more disorientated and his strength was draining even faster. This was nothing more than to deter these four people.

Then he said coldly again, “If the envoy must try, at most, you and I will both lose, but presumably the two people from the Devils’ sects in the distance are more interested in you. The pros and cons, please think twice. ”

As Xiao Chen spoke, he slowly stepped backward. The other three envoys did not dare to act lightly. The chief envoy frowned deeply. It seemed that he was weighing the advantages and disadvantages of this. He did not expect the power of Xiao Chen’s divine zither to be this strong. What made him fear the most was that it seemed that there were indeed two strong auras in the distance. But how was he going to report when he got back if he let Xiao Chen go today?

“I just want you to make a trip. Once we get to the Immortals’ League, there will be a trial by the elders. If you insist on resistance, even if you will escape today, you will be hunted endlessly in the future! The pros and cons here, please weigh them carefully as well.”

“Sorry, I’ll deal with that when the day comes. Xiao must leave today!” After speaking, Xiao Chen sped up his pace, and the four envoys were afraid to chase after seeing the divine zither in his hand.

Leaving the valley, Xiao Chen and the 12 people of the Levitating Dark Fragrance immediately headed eastward at their fastest speed. There was the direction of Robust Spirit Town. Finally, the 13 people hurried hundreds of miles, and no one was seen chasing behind before they dared to stop and rest.

Xiao Chen leaned on a big tree and panted hard, Qingluan had never seen him like this and guessed that the strength he had displayed in the valley was most probably an act. She walked up and asked softly, “My Lord, are you all right?”

Xiao Chen shook his hand and did not speak. He seemed to be struggling to even speak at the moment. It seemed that this body could no longer hang on…

After he paced his breathing, Xiao Chen then said, “There was something I forgot to ask the Sect Leader of Kunlun. I can only make plans in the future. We must leave here as soon as possible. Immortals’ League just wants to take me back, but there’re some people who want my life. ”

After speaking, they did not dare to delay any longer. The 13 people traveled overnight, and finally returned to Robust Spirit Town in the early morning of the next day. There were still many cultivators gathered in Robust Spirit Town. Xiao Chen now had white hair and was followed by twelve ladies and seemed particularly striking.

Qingluan went to the shop next to the street and bought a few cages of buns and immediately set foot on their journey again. The 13 people left the town and went northeast.

Arriving in shaded woods, Xiao Chen was a little breathless again. Qingluan immediately instructed the others to stop, then stepped forward, and handed out the oil paper bag in her hand, saying, “Lord, please eat something first.”

Xiao Chen leaned on a big tree and shook his hand, saying, “I’m not hungry, you can share it with other sisters first.”

Qingluan frowned, but eventually stepped back, and gave out the buns to others. In the past few days, every one of them had not eaten a single thing. Even if they were at the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, they would still feel hunger as long as they were still mortal.

Ziyun’er was severely injured the previous day. After taking the medicine, her injuries were just a little bit better. When she saw Xiao Chen looking at her, she shook her head immediately and said, “I’m fine, and the Lord need not worry.”

“Yep.” Xiao Chen nodded. Qingluan finished distributing the buns and there were two left in the paper bag. She walked up again and Xiao Chen reached out and took one. He bit it gently in the mouth, and suddenly snorted, spitting all it out.

The rest of them who were eating halfway were in shock, and their hands were stiffened in front of them. Qingluan quickly held him up and asked, “My Lord, what’s wrong!”

“I…” Xiao Chen’s face was a little pale, and his eyes were a little confused. He looked at the meat bun that had a bite in his hands and was still dripping with oil, and said, “Why, why is this bun tasteless?”
