Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2486: Vile Human Nature

Jian Chen was slightly surprised when he sensed Xuan Ming’s attitude. He glanced at Xuan Ming deeply. The current Xuan Ming gave him a feeling rather unfamiliar from the person he remembered.

However, he soon thought about how he and Xuan Ming were never on particularly close terms. Their friendship was not particularly special. Coupled with the fact that he was a successor of the Martial Soul lineage and how he was supposed to oppose the Radiant Saint Hall, Xuan Ming’s attitude did make sense.

Jian Chen came to a realisation. He did not mind Xuan Ming’s attitude. He slowly glanced past Donglin Yanxue, Bai Yu, Han Xin, and Xuan Ming and said solemnly, “In the Radiant Saint Hall, you’re the only people that I truly care about. I am unable to change my identity as a member of the Martial Soul lineage, nor am I able to resolve all the grievances accumulated between the Martial Soul lineage and Radiant Saint Hall across all the generations. However, I don’t want to become your enemies either, so I hope that you can agree to just one request of mine. From today onwards, unless the Martial Soul lineage actively attacks your Radiant Saint Hall, I hope you don’t touch the people of the Martial Soul lineage.”

“Of course, that’s only limited to the four of you because you’re the only people I care about. I really don’t want us to become enemies.”

“Jian Chen, your Martial Soul lineage is no longer the opponent of our Radiant Saint Hall now. Even if you attack us, your strength won’t be of much use at all. You won’t be able to change the situation,” Xuan Ming said indifferently, acting as if Jian Chen had almost become a stranger to him.

“Xuan Ming, are you saying that even if the Martial Soul lineage avoids your Radiant Saint Hall, you’ll still attack them?” Jian Chen stared right at Xuan Ming and spoke calmly. Even though Xuan Ming had obtained a protector sword and possessed great battle prowess now, Jian Chen did not fear him.

Han Xin, Donglin Yanxue, and Bai Yu all stood to one side quietly. They looked back and forth between Jian Chen and Xuan Ming.

After a while of thought, Xuan Ming stared at Jian Chen with shining eyes. “Jian Chen, seeing how we were once acquainted, I can guarantee you that I won’t touch the Martial Soul lineage as long as they don’t actively attack the Radiant Saint Hall if you leave the Method of the Exalted Saint behind.”

“You want the Method of the Exalted Saint?” The light in Jian Chen’s eyes changed. He now stared at Xuan Ming like he was looking at a complete stranger. He had never thought Xuan Ming would begin to eye the Method of the Exalted Saint.

Was this still the Xuan Ming he once knew?

“The Method of the Exalted Saint is the supreme treasure of our Radiant Saint Hall. It belongs to our Radiant Saint Hall in the first place,” Xuan Ming said righteously with a sigh. A sliver of desire appeared in his eyes, and he became rather excited as well. He thought, “I already wield a protector sword now. In the current Radiant Saint Hall, no one can do anything to me, including the descendant of the Grand Exalt, Gongsun Zhi. If I get the Method of the Exalted Saint, it’ll be truly perfect. No one will be able to take it from me.” At that moment, a sliver of ambition appeared in his heart.

This ambition had never appeared in his head before. As a matter of fact, it was a thought he could not have even imagined in the past because he was only a slightly talented Radiant Godking back then.

However, it was different now. He was a wielder of a protector sword and was in control of great power. He now had the confidence and courage to attempt matters he did not even dare to think about in the past.

“I am unable to take out the Method of the Exalted Saint. Xuan Ming, you have to think it through. If you actively attack our Martial Soul lineage, we will no longer be friends but enemies,” Jian Chen’s face sank slightly, and he replied rather coldly.

“Jian Chen, if you leave behind the Method of the Exalted Saint, we will still be friends,” Xuan Ming said firmly. His intentions were very clear. If Jian Chen did not leave behind the Method of the Exalted Saint, they would become enemies.

Jian Chen stared at Xuan Ming deeply. After a long while, he finally sighed and said, “If that’s the case, let’s see what happens in the future.” Xuan Ming’s attitude disappointed Jian Chen greatly. At that moment, Jian Chen only felt very tired. A deep sense of helplessness filled his heart. He was no longer in the mood to stay any longer. He wanted to leave.

However, Xuan Ming did not allow him to leave. With a flash, he arrived at the door and coldly said, “Jian Chen, you better leave behind the Method of the Grand Exalt. It doesn’t belong to you.”

Jian Chen stopped and stared at Xuan Ming sharply. The light in his eyes flickered, causing his gaze to become piercing such that people dared not look into them. He growled and said, “Are you trying to stop me?”

At this moment, Jian Chen was truly angered. Sword Qi seemed to permeate his surroundings.

“Xuan Ming, you can’t forget that Jian Chen once helped you. Don’t go overboard.” Donglin Yanxue arrived before Jian Chen and stared at Xuan Ming with an ugly expression. Her presence surged. “As long as I’m here, your protector sword won’t be able to harm Jian Chen, Xuan Ming.”

“Senior Xuan Ming, if you plan on laying your hands on second senior brother, I can only work together with sister Yanxue against you,” said Bai Yu as she stood forward as well.

“Xuan Ming, your ambitions have run wild. You already wield a protector sword. Don’t you know when to stop?” Han Xin also arrived before Jian Chen.

Now, Donglin Yanxue, Bai Yu, and Han Xin all stood together with Jian Chen.

As he faced the three of them, Xuan Ming’s expression became rather ugly.

“Ming’er, let’s go back.” At this moment, a heavy voice rang out. Vice-leader Xuan Zhan suddenly appeared behind Xuan Ming.

Xuan Zhan glanced at Jian Chen deeply and said nothing. He did not even look at Donglin Yanxue, Bai Yu, or Han Xin, whose expressions had changed greatly. He grabbed Xuan Ming by the shoulder and vanished, having left.

“It’s vice-leader Xuan Zhan. H- he has actually come as well.” Donglin Yanxue paled in fright as she became badly shaken.

In the Radiant Saint Hall, the strongest was no longer the leader Yu Chen but vice-leader Xuan Zhan. She knew was extremely clear that if Xuan Zhan wanted Jian Chen to stay, no one present would be able to stop him.

Not only was Xuan Zhan extremely powerful, but he also wielded a protector sword.

Even though the protector sword he wielded did not have a high ranking, he was actually able to unleash even greater strength due to his higher level of cultivation.

“Xuan Zhan actually did nothing?” Han Xin murmured. Xuan Zhan’s behavior dumbfounded him. Did Xuan Zhan not want the Method of the Exalted Saint back?

“Second senior, it’s not safe here anymore. You better leave,” Bai Yu said in a hurry. She worried for Jian Chen’s safety very much with Xuan Zhan’s appearance. She was afraid that even more people would find out about his identity.

“Jian Chen, both Xuan Ming and Xuan Zhan know that you’re here. It’s impossible to be certain that they won’t leak the news, so you need to leave the Desolate Plane immediately. Don’t worry, Bai Yu and I will always remain the Radiant Saint Hall cultivating. Unless the master of the Tower of Radiance appears, we won’t go out to fight. The leader and vice-leaders of the Radiant Saint Hall can no longer order us around anymore,” said Han Xin.
