Chaotic Sword God Chapter 348: Being Watched

Chapter 348: Being Watched

Crossing through the Space Gate, Jian Chen found himself in the flower garden once more. Flowers blood everywhere within a fifty ter radius, and the pavilion in the center towered over him as if it were bathing within the field of flowers.

Jian Chen wasn’t unfamiliar with this place, he had seen it once before. This was where he saw the Eighth and Thirteenth Elder play chess.

A flying figure quickly made its way toward Jian Chen before falling to the ground. It was a frail looking middle-aged man that seed quite scholarly, one who enjoyed reading more than anything else. This man wore white robes with grandiose stitching and his eyes shone brightly with liveliness.

Seeing how this man had just been soaring through the sky, Jian Chen could tell that he was a Heaven Saint Master. Without any neglect in respect, the man cupped his hands together and spoke politely, “You must be Jian Chen.”

Quickly swallowing the surprise back down his throat, Jian Chen nodded his head, “Correct, I am he.”

“The elder ordered to co and collect you, please follow .” The middle-aged man replied. With a wave of his hand, Jian Chen suddenly felt a formidable amount of energy envelop his entire body before he began to levitate through the air along with the middle-aged man.

“Could this Heaven Saint Master be able to control the energy of the world?” Jian Chen couldn’t help but think about this. Although he was calm on the outside, he was furiously trying to figure out how the energy that was enveloping him worked.

The man was only traveling ten ters above the ground, but the speed in which they were traveling was still very fast.

Not long later, Jian Chen and the man reached yet another Space Gate. Descending down to the ground, the middle-aged man spoke, “You can leave from here.”

Jian Chen returned the way he ca: through the Space Gate. He found himself in the plaza where the Gathering of the rcenaries had taken place. Suddenly, a person ca walking out from one of the halls; it was the crane-haired elder. Handing him a badge, the elder said, “This is the emblem of the King of rcenaries. It is made of a special material and has been interwoven with arrays so that when Saint Force is used to activate it, the vital energy of the world in a ten kiloter distance will be absorbed into it for later cultivational usage.”

Jian Chen’s heart leaped into his throat as he imdiately thought about the Fla rcenaries and Changyang clan. This would definitely be a great boon for the two.

Taking the emblem carefully into his own hands, Jian Chen left the halls under the supervision of the commanding officer and walked out onto the streets.

Jian Chen tilted his head up to look at the sun overhead with a happy expression. After spending a long ti within the holy land with no sun, Jian Chen felt comforted by the sun rays basking his body in its light.

By now, half a year had already passed since the Gathering of the rcenaries had ended and the entire rcenary City had already gone back to its normal everyday life with the exception of the season being hotter than before. However, the steady stream of people going in and out of the city was still there.

rcenary City was the holy city for rcenaries and rchants alike. Each of the four seasons was always a busy season and many people traveled to the city.

By now, winter had already passed and sumr was fast approaching. With the scorching sun bearing down on the ground, it was already like the top of a burning slab of iron. Since Jian Chen had spent a long ti within the dark and damp holy grounds, he quickly found himself dry and thirsty.

Walking to the middle plaza of rcenary City — the plaza was now a four way intersection for everyone to cross — it was not as lively as it was half a year ago, but it still had many magical beast riders walking on the streets.

As for the founder of rcenary City Mo Tianyun, his statue stood tall and stared up toward the sky with a real life like figure.

By now, Jian Chen had already stored away so fragnts of the profound mysteries of the world within his head. The statue of Mo Tianyun was completely different before compared to his eyes now. To him, the statue seed to be completely filled with an endlessly profound mystery. Even the seemingly normal hands of the statue were filled with a strange substance that made the statue seem more lifelike. At the sa ti, it seed as if the statue was harmonized with the world completely.

After a mont of careful observation, Jian Chen finally regained his bearings and respectfully bowed toward the statue before leaving the area. His understanding of rcenary City was growing more and more, causing Jian Chen’s respect of Mo Tianyun to deepen as well.

Aimlessly roaming around the streets, Jian Chen finally entered an inn so that he could sit down and eat a al. After residing within the holy land for so long, he hadn’t a single thing to eat in ages.

It was already afternoon and past the regular eating ti, so the inn was relatively clean with Jian Chen as the only custor.

At that mont, three other n ca walking in before sitting down at a table. “Waitress, so wine and at over here!”

Staring at the three n, Jian Chen looked back to his own table and decided on what to eat.

“Hei Zi, just wait until we finish our mission, then our rcenary group will beco a B ranked group!” Another man spoke to the black skinned man who had talked first.

The dark skinned man nodded his head, “Right, we were only a C ranked group three years ago. But three years later, we’ve accomplished many missions and our own rits aren’t bad either. Just wait for this mission to be finished, and we will truly beco a B ranked group.”

The three n were seasoned rcenaries. While they ate, they would occasionally talk about other rcenary related affairs while simultaneously looking at Jian Chen every so often.

After so ti, Jian Chen had ate and drank his fill. With a satisfied clap, he spoke, “Waitress, is there a room free to stay for the night? I would like to reserve one.” Jian Chen spoke as he placed a purple coin on the table.

“Yes, sir, we’ll prepare a room for you right away, please wait one mont!” The waitress retrieved the purple coin with a smile and imdiately left to make preparations.

With a look toward the three other n, Jian Chen had a aningful smile on his face as he walked over, “Fellow friends, what might your nas be?”

Jian Chen’s sudden movent toward them had caught the three off guard, but they quickly recovered and had one man cup his hands with a smile, “This one is called Jian Hua, and these two are my close friends, Hei Zi and Bao Yue. I could tell that fellow brother’s Qi was quite unordinary, what might be your na?”

“I am called Jian Chen!” Jian Chen smiled.

Hearing that, the three n instantly grew shocked. With an incredulous look, the one called Jian Hua turned to look at Jian Chen with doubt, “Could you an that you are the Jian Chen that won the Gathering of the rcenaries half a year ago?!”

“I am he!” Jian Chen’s smile had a strange look to it.

“Ah, so you are Jian Chen, how disrespectful of ! Truly disrespectful! Brother Jian Chen’s na is a na that is as well known as a thunder clap to the ears! Who would have known that the three of us would be as fortunate to be able to co across brother Jian Chen today?” Jian Hua bood outward with a respectful manner as the other two hurriedly cupped their hands in a respectful salute.

Seeing their attitudes, Jian Chen revealed a cold smile on his face, “Fellow friends, spare your theatrics. Speak of your plans right now.”

Hearing this, the three n looked at Jian Chen with shock and vacant stares. Shaking his crew cut hair styled head, Jian Hua spoke with confusion, “Brother Jian Chen, what are you talking about?”

Jian Chen snorted, “You three have been following for a good while, do you think that I wouldn’t know? Speak of your purpose, I hate wasting ti.”

Still staring blankly at Jian Chen, Jian Hua could only smile as he continued to speak, “Brother Jian Chen is quite the jokester. How would we have followed you? This eting was a coincidence.”

“If my instinct isn’t wrong, then you three are either from the Jiede clan or Shi family.” Jian Chen’s eyes grew cold as his sharp eyes pierced into them with his gaze.

The three n continued to stare blankly while Jian Hua forced a helpless smile on his face, “Brother Jian Chen, I’m afraid I still don’t understand. Might’ve you mistaken us for soone else?”

Seeing how their faces didn’t seem to be hiding anything, Jian Chen knew that asking anymore questions would be pointless. Without wasting anymore ti, he left for the second floor of the inn.

Right as Jian Chen had disappeared, the shocked expressions of the three n instantly grew dark as they leaned closed to each other.

“I didn’t think he would be that vigilant, he already spotted us from far away!” Jian Hua whispered.

“What should we do now?” Hei Zi asked.

“What else could we do? Let’s report back to the elder.”

Afterward, the three n placed a purple coin down and left the inn at a fast pace.

......

Within a grand looking inn, the furious expression of an elder stared at the three n in front of him as he pointed and shouted curses at them, “Useless! Absolutely useless! All I see is a pile of garbage right in front of ! You’ve let the person you were trailing see you, just what use are you for other than eating?”

These three n were Jian Hua, Hei Zi, and Bao Yue. Each one of them had a pale face as they shivered in fear and didn’t dare to utter a single sound.

“Elder, this isn’t our fault, our target was already extrely careful and far too powerful. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been noticed.” Jian Hua spoke with a quavering voice of fear in hopes of placating the elder’s anger.

At that mont, the doors to the room opened as another elder ca walking in. Upon seeing the three n in front of him, the new coming elder narrowed his eyes and spoke, “Fourth elder, what happened?”

“These three pieces of garbage were easily detected by Jian Chen after his return from the holy lands! With their presences being detected, all of our plans have now gone up in smoke!” The fourth elder exploded with anger as he swore once more.
