Chapter 2537: A Grand Plan (1/2)
“Are you that elder brother that Xiao Ling keeps on mentioning, Jian Chen?” asked the grand elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Cheng Ming. His gaze was gentle, and he smiled faintly. He seemed extremely cordial.
“That’s me. Greetings from junior Jian Chen.” Jian Chen clasped his fist and greeted him as a junior. He spoke indifferently, without being overly polite or respectful.
He only truly respected Mo Tianyun out of the entire Empyrean Demon Cult.
“Grand elder, may I ask where Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling are?” Jian Chen followed up with a question. He had come to see Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling and get to know their situation.
“They’re here on the Delight Plane. I’ve already sent people to fetch them, so there’s no need to worry. Jian Chen, I haven’t called you over this time just for Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling,” Cheng Ming said with an amiable smile. He did not seem like the authoritative grand elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult who could mobilise all the armies on a whim.
“Let’s talk elsewhere,” said Cheng Ming. With that, he and Jian Chen vanished from there, having been taken elsewhere by the power of the divine hall.
“Patriarch!”
Jian Chen’s disappearance made many of the protectors nervous. They utterly feared the Empyrean Demon Cult. Now that they stood in the cult’s den, all of them felt uneasy.
“Since Jian Chen is bold enough to bring you here, he naturally has confidence in protecting you. What are you afraid of?” Xu Ran said indifferently. She studied the divine hall with a deep gaze, as if she could see through everything there.
“Many Primordial realm experts are hidden in the divine hall. There are even several obscure presences that have reached Chaotic Prime. Just what does the Empyrean Demon Cult plan on doing by gathering so many experts on the Delight Plane?”
“After all, this is only one of their many branches across the Saints’ World, not their headquarters,” Xu Ran thought. She stared at where Jian Chen had vanished from as the light in her eyes flickered.
Jian Chen and Cheng Ming suddenly appeared in a secret room within the divine hall.
Jian Chen looked around before focusing on Cheng Ming. “May I ask what urgent matter the grand elder has come to me for?”
“Jian Chen, you probably want to kill that Golden-striped Silver Snake in the Cloudsurge Empire, right?” Cheng Ming said.
Jian Chen nodded. Whether it be for protector Xue’s poison or Nubis’ lost essence, he needed to fight that Golden-striped Silver Snake that had fled.
Of course, most importantly, the Golden-striped Silver Snake could allow Nubis’ strength to increase even faster.
Golden-striped Silver Snakes were a wondrous species. Their method of evolution was extremely brutal. They needed to constantly slaughter their own clansmen and devour their essence to evolve.
