Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2553: Intriguing Treatment

Without even thinking, Jian Chen guessed the woman’s identity.

He secretly sighed. Now that he had ended up in the hands of the Rain Abbess, he felt completely helpless. Ready for anything, he said, “I obviously know a little. Not only is the Innate Orchid of Five Elements something that only occurs naturally, but it also possesses Xuanhuang Qi. Those two features alone are enough for the Innate Orchid of Five Elements to be a priceless treasure.”

“Since you know the value of the Innate Orchid of Five Elements, is it on you?” The Rain Abbess asked in an extremely cold voice.

“With the abbess’ strength and insight, you’ve probably realised that the flower isn’t on me a long time ago.” Jian Chen felt that her question was strange. He felt like this question was completely unneeded.

“Innate Orchids of Five Elements bearing Xuanhuang Qi are so rare that there are probably only three in the entire Saints’ World. It would’ve been fine if you came for it, but you didn’t take it for yourself. Instead, you let someone else escape with it. Was this worth it?”

Before Jian Chen could reply, the Rain Abbess continued, “Or perhaps you were forced by the people of the Empyrean Demon Cult. I can see that you possess the powder of a Spatial Insect’s corpse, and you’ve ingested a Soul-numbing Pill as well. The Spatial Insect Emperor is also in your head. Has the Empyrean Demon Cult used you in an attempt to steal the beast soul I sealed up?”

The Rain Abbess’ voice suddenly became frigid. Filled with killing intent, she said, “The Empyrean Demon Cult, oh the Empyrean Demon Cult. What a vicious demonic cult to do something like this.”

“The abbess has misunderstood. The Empyrean Demon Cult did not force me. I did this all willingly,” Jian Chen directly broke the truth to her.

Even though he knew he could place all the blame on the Empyrean Demon Cult if he allowed the misunderstanding to persist, which could even lead to him being spared by the Rain Abbess, he did not choose to do that.

“What? You weren’t forced? You did it all willingly?” The Rain Abbess suddenly turned around. She stared at Jian Chen with a piercing gaze. There was uncontainable fury.

“That’s right, I did it willingly. Abbess, since I’ve ended up in your hands already, my fate is in your hands,” Jian Chen had accepted his fate.

Indeed, it was impossible for him to escape now that he had fallen into the Rain Abbess’ hands, as she was just too powerful. Even if he summoned the Martial Soul lineage, it was impossible for them to be the Rain Abbess’ opponent. He might even cause great trouble to the lineage.

Moreover, the Rain Abbess possessed the Laws of Space. Even if the Martial Soul Mountain arrived beyond the Delight Plane, it would be impossible for them to return to the mountain soul before an expert skilled with the Laws of Space.

Although he could still fuse the swords, he had no time to charge up before her.

The fusion of the twin swords could not be completed instantly, but the Rain Abbess killing him could be completed in just a moment.

“Hmph, you’ve stolen my Innate Orchid of Five Elements, and you even tried to take the Spatial Insect Emperor’s soul as well. If it were someone else, they would be dead already. They would be truly gone from the world, but why did it have to be you, Jian Chen?” The Rain Abbess said through gritted teeth. However, there was a sense of powerlessness in her voice.

“Does the abbess know me?” Jian Chen was the one surprised now. He stared at the Rain Abbess in shock. With the Rain Abbess’ status, she actually knew about someone as insignificant as him. This surprised Jian Chen very much.

“I obviously know about the eighth successor of the Martial Soul lineage.” The Rain Abbess slowly walked over. She seemed like she was in her thirties. Even though she looked like she was approaching middle age, she was still charming, maintaining a youthful beauty.

However, her eyes were very cold, and her gaze towards Jian Chen was very cold as well, like ice that would never melt. Even though there was no killing intent, her approach still pressured Jian Chen.

“Jian Chen, as the eighth successor of the Martial Soul lineage, why do you work with the Empyrean Demon Cult and steal a divine material of the world from me?” The Rain Abbess stared right at Jian Chen, as if she wanted to understand what he was thinking.

The light in Jian Chen’s eyes flickered. The Rain Abbess treated him in a very strange manner. After a moment of thought, he wanted to speak, but his face suddenly changed. Blood suddenly began to flow from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He tottered and directly collapsed.

The Spatial Insect Emperor in his sea of consciousness suddenly began to awaken. It was no longer like the sluggish, instinctual insect that Jian Chen once knew.

It seemed to regain its intelligence after awakening. It did not directly devour Jian Chen’s soul. Instead, it attacked it crazily, wanting to tear his soul to pieces.

Jian Chen’s soul was nowhere close to being the Spatial Insect Emperor’s opponent. He was basically powerless against the counterattack.

Right when Jian Chen felt like his soul was being ripped to shreds, a gentle power suddenly poured in from outside. Jian Chen immediately felt all the pain depart from him with its appearance. Afterwards, he fell unconscious again.

Outside, the Rain Abbess stood beside Jian Chen. She gently placed one of her slender fingers on Jian Chen’s forehead before drawing out the beast soul gently. A white mist immediately followed her finger out of Jian Chen’s head.

The white mist seemed to be alive, constantly struggling in the Rain Abbess’ hands. It rapidly changed in shape, sometimes mist-like, sometimes like a grub, and sometimes completely invisible, as if it had completely hidden in the space there.

However, no matter how it transformed, no matter how it struggled, it was unable to escape from the Rain Abbess’ finger.

It was as if the Rain Abbess’ finger was magical, firmly entrapping it.

The white mist was the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor.

In the end, the beast soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor stopped struggling. It turned into a grub that was only two inches long. It wrapped around the Rain Abbess’ finger in fear.

Even though the grub was illusionary, it was extremely close to assuming a physical form. It was snow-white, seeming just like a silkworm.

...

After who knows how long, Jian Chen woke up again. He discovered that he currently within a wooden tub of green liquid. He had no idea what the green liquid was. It was cool, and wondrous energy was entering his body from the liquid.

“Stay in there and don’t move. This is something to heal the soul. It’s extremely precious. Even many Grand Primes don’t have the fortune to use something like that.” At this moment, the Rain Abbess’ voice rang out.
