Chapter 2536: The Grand Elder of the Empyrean Demon Cul (1/2)

“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.
