Chapter 3621: The Opposite Result
Chapter 3621: The Opposite Result
Jiang Pingtian sat on his throne with his eyes shut. He slowly opened his eyes as a faint smile formed on his lips. He scanned past the three Immortal Exalts and the Immortal Emperors beneath him slowly and said, “You’ve all gathered in my estate as such a great group today. So what brings you here to me?”
Immortal Exalt Sha Xue, Immortal Exalt Ji Yun, and the Truepeer Immortal Exalt glanced at one another. After a moment of silence, Immortal Exalt Sha Xue said, “City lord, we’ve come because of Chang Yang. Chang Yang has consecutively challenged multiple Thousand Immortal Generals of the Observance Heaven City. So far, all of them have already lost their bodies. His actions have severely disrupted the order of the Observance Heaven City. Please punish Chang Yang.”
“Please punish Chang Yang.” Immortal Exalt Ji Yun, the Truepeer Immortal Exalt, and the Immortal Emperors all bowed towards the city lord after Immortal Exalt Sha Xue finished speaking.
“All of you have actually come for Chang Yang.” Jiang Pingtian continued to smile as before. “Then tell me why Chang Yang is challenging you.”
When they heard that, the Thousand Immortal Emperors all stopped breathing. They looked at one another. For a moment, they all had no idea how to respond.
It was not like they could confess that they had worked together against Chang Yang, using their authority to strip him of two million five-coloured immortal crystals, right?
“Senior Jiang, I don’t believe this is important. Regardless of the reason why Chang Yang is challenging the Thousand Immortal Generals, this must stop. Otherwise, if another Thousand Immortal General or Hundred Immortal Commander of overwhelming strength appears in the future, wouldn’t everyone also occupying a post be in danger? Everyone will face the risk of losing their bodies.”
“As a result, I believe that Chang Yang must be stopped regardless of the reason,” the Truepeer Immortal Exalt said.
He avoided the entire reason for why this had occurred cleverly, acting as if he was thinking about the greatest good.
“Senior Truepeer is correct. Chang Yang hasn’t broken any rules of the Observance Heaven City, but his actions are extremely detrimental to the development and stability of the city.
“Please senior Jiang, you must severely punish Chang Yang.”
The Thousand Immortal Generals behind them all spoke up.
Jiang Pingtian looked at them with the same smile the entire time as if everything unfolding before him was just a show, while he was the onlooker.
“Fetch Chang Yang for me immediately!” Jiang Pingtian suddenly said.
The Thousand Immortal Generals never expected Jiang Pingtian to summon Chang Yang. Their expressions all became extremely fascinating.
Once Chang Yang arrived, wouldn’t everything be exposed?
“City lord Jiang… there doesn’t seem to be a need to… summon Chang Yang.” After some hesitation, an Immortal Emperor with a sizable background said carefully.
Jiang Pingtian stared at him cheerfully and smiled. “Why not? We have to hear what Chang Yang thinks, wouldn’t you say?”
“Senior Jiang, I represent the Rising Immortal sect of the Conquering Judgement Heaven. Please directly punish Chang Yang.”
“Senior Jiang, I represent the Divine Sect of Lightning Control from the Sect Adrift Heaven. Please directly punish Chang Yang.”
“Senior Jiang, I represent the Scholarly Attainment Heaven…”
The Thousand Immortal Emperors all went out of their way to name the organisations behind them reluctantly.
Most of these organisations paled in comparison to the Jiang family, but a small number basically stood on equal grounds as them.
At this moment, over a dozen organisations had banded together. They believed that the force they formed was enough to frighten the Jiang family.
However, Jiang Pingtian shook his head gently and said steadily, “It’s not that I’m looking down on you. While you do possess some authority in your organisations, you’re nowhere close to representing the organisations behind you.”
With that, the Immortal Emperors that had already made one last gamble became ashen.
In a certain general’s estate within the Observance Heaven City, there was a pulse of space. Jian Chen and Immortal Emperor Can Ye appeared. Their battle had already come to an end in the ancient battlefield. Immortal Emperor Can Ye faced the same fate as the Gathering Clouds Master, Immortal Emperor Sen Yang, and Immortal Emperor Duan Hun. His body was destroyed, and only his soul survived under the protection of the Observance Heaven City.
“Chang Yang, there’ll be a day when I make you pay a heavy price for destroying my body.” Immortal Emperor Can Ye’s soul hovered in the air. His eyes shone with hatred as he ground his teeth.
Jian Chen simply smiled at Immortal Emperor Can Ye’s threat. He ignored it completely.
He wanted revenge?
He had to find him first.
If he did not even know who he was, then why mention revenge at all?
“The city lord summons Thousand Immortal General Chang Yang. Go to the city lord’s estate immediately!” At this moment, a dignified voice rang out in Jian Chen’s ear.
Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He turned towards the city lord’s estate before suddenly vanishing.
In just a few seconds, Jian Chen arrived at the city lord’s estate. Gazing at Jiang Pingtian who sat on the throne, his heart fluctuated.
He had never seen Jiang Pingtian before, but he had heard much about him. Not only was he the greatest expert of the Polar Jade Heaven, but he was a late Immortal Exalt.
Even across the entire Immortals’ World, Jiang Pingtian could be regarded as one of the few supreme experts.
After all, there were only a handful of late Immortal Exalts in both the Immortals’ World and the Saints’ World.
“Greetings, senior Jiang!” Jian Chen bowed.
Jian Chen’s arrival immediately made the Truepeer Immortal Exalt, Immortal Exalt Ji Yun, and Immortal Exalt Sha Yun almost lose their composure. They had already noticed that the situation seemed to be getting out of control.
As for the Thousand Immortal Generals, they were unsettled inside. After all, tampering with a person’s gambling tablet was nothing glorious.
Jiang Pingtian looked at Jian Chen. The depths of his eyes hid a shred of undetectable intrigue. “Chang Yang, tell me, why do you challenge these Thousand Immortal Generals one after another? Don’t tell me you have some grievance of life or death with them?”
“It’s not exactly a grievance of life or death, but they refuse to give me the two million five-coloured immortal crystals that they owe me…” Afterwards, Jian Chen told him everything that had happened truthfully.
Jiang Pingtian’s expression never changed the entire time. He looked at the Thousand Immortal Generals and asked, “Is there any falsehood to what Chang Yang said?”
None of the Thousand Immortal Generals said anything, as they could neither admit nor deny it. It all depended on whose side Jiang Pingtian stood on.
“Since you say nothing, then I’ll take it as silent admission.” Jiang Pingtian sighed, looking at them in disappointment. “Look at you. You’re all people of status. Even if you claim those five-coloured immortal crystals, you only end up with so much after splitting it. Given your statuses, you aren’t lacking this puny amount of resources. Why must you work against your conscience and do something that brings you disgrace?”
“You truly are disgracing the organisations behind you.”
The peak Immortal Emperors were left with flushed faces from Jiang Pingtian’s words.
“It’s a miscalculation!” With all of the developments so far, Immortal Exalt Ji Yun, Immortal Exalt Sha Yun, and the Truepeer Immortal Exalt all felt very helpless. They had mistaken the side that Jiang Pingtian stood on. They originally thought that the influence they formed from gathering so many people here would be enough to sway Jiang Pingtian to their side, but they never imagined that Jiang Pingtian would not buy it at all.
“Fellow Jiang, you really can’t blame them, as I told them to do that.” Right when the Immortal Emperors had no idea about how to respond, an elderly voice rang out from outside.
The Wayless Immortal Exalt of the Immortal Feather sect swaggered inside, directly arriving in the city lord’s estate’s main hall.
The Wayless Immortal Exalt’s arrival immediately allowed the Immortal Emperors to see a glimmer of hope. They all let out a sigh of relief inside.
With the Wayless Immortal Exalt here in person, what happened next no longer had anything to do with them. It would come down to how Jiang Pingtian and the Wayless Immortal Exalt clashed.
In terms of strength, the Wayless Immortal Exalt was only an early Immortal Exalt. He obviously came nowhere close to Jiang Pingtian.
However, the Immortal Feather sect stood behind him!
