Chapter 3815: Finding Reinforcements

The sudden voice immediately made the other two ancestors of the War sect frown. They were extremely displeased.

“Yang Yutian? Don’t tell me it’s the person from the Immortal Rising City? Isn’t he far too rude with his visit to our War sect? He is stirring up a great ruckus. What kind of visit is this?”

“Yeah. Our War sect is not like the Immortal Rising City. How can he be so impolite-”

The Warring Old Freak raised his hand to stop the two. His eyes shone with a strange light, together with some mixed feelings. “Enough. You don’t have to say anything more. Yang Yutian is anyone but ordinary. We can’t afford to slight him.”

In the War sect, the Warring Old Freak’s words were clearly paramount. With that, the two ancestors directly fell silent. Despite their dissatisfaction, they did not have the courage to add anything.

The Warring Old Freak stood up and said, “Stay here. I’ll go see him personally!” Before he had even finished talking, the Warring Old Freak had already vanished. When he appeared again, he was already in front of Jian Chen.

At this moment, many disciples had already taken to the skies in the War sect, directly approaching Jian Chen. Clearly, they had come to investigate the situation.

They were all Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. There was even an Immortal Monarch elder among them. They clearly possessed quite the status in the War sect, so they recognised the Warring Old Freak.

Immediately, they stopped behind the Warring Old Freak. Their eyes burned with enthusiasm as they bowed politely towards him in admiration.

“You can all back down,” the Warring Old Freak said to the disciples behind him without even turning around. Afterwards, he looked at Jian Chen with mixed emotions and said, “This is not a place to speak. C’mon, let’s go elsewhere.”

The Warring Old Freak waved his hand, and Jian Chen felt an irresistibly powerful force envelope him. In the next moment, he appeared on a sword-shaped mountain a hundred million kilometres away from the War sect. A sea of clouds surged beneath his feet.

The Warring Old Freak was dressed in clothes made from coarse cloth. He had a thin figure, and his white hair draped down casually. He seemed like an old farmer, except his eyes shone with startling light.

“During the several decades you spent on the Hall Brilliance Heaven, you never came to find me, yet this time, you’ve suddenly returned after leaving with Tan Yu just recently. Don’t tell me you’ve encountered some kind of trouble?” the Warring Old Freak looked at Jian Chen and said calmly.

“I did encounter some trouble, so I need your help, senior Warring.” Jian Chen did not deny it.

“You are the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. From that identity alone, I won’t refuse your request, given that it is within my capabilities,” the Warring Old Freak said without hesitation.

“Senior Warring, you won’t just be helping me with this. You will also be helping Immortal Exalt Tan Yu and all the Immortal Exalts of the Immortals’ World,” Jian Chen said seriously.

“What do you mean?” The Warring Old Freak narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Senior Warring, do you remember the Starflame Demon Lion that appeared in the Immortals’ World a million years ago?” Jian Chen stared at the Warring Old Freak with shining eyes.

When he heard that, the Warring Old Freak’s expression changed slightly. He blurted out, “Don’t tell me the Starflame Demon Lion has appeared again?” But shortly afterwards, he shook his head and said, “Impossible. That can’t be the case. I participated in the operation against the Starflame Demon Lion back then. We clearly shattered it to pieces. It had completely perished, without any chances of surviving. Don’t tell me a second Starflame Demon Lion has appeared?”

“Oh right, what is the strength of the Starflame Demon Lion?” the Warring Old Freak asked.

“The Sixth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt!” Jian Chen said.

“The Sixth Heavenly Layer… the Sixth Heavenly Layer… the Starflame Demon Lion we killed in the past was also at the Sixth Heavenly Layer. Don’t tell me it’s the same one as back then?” The Warring Old Freak entered a daze, but he became extremely stern soon. “If that really is the case, we have to kill the Starflame Demon Lion. If it’s still alive, only more Immortal Exalts will end up being eaten by it. However, my strength alone is completely insufficient to kill the Starflame Demon Lion. Even when my true strength already rivals the Seventh Heavenly Layer, it’s nowhere near enough.”

“After all, I fought alongside several Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts and a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt for a total of half a month before shattering it to pieces with difficulty to kill it back then. Its regeneration was far too powerful.”

“As a result, I need to find assistance for this.”

“Senior Warring, we don’t have much time left. City lord Tan Yu has already been devoured by it. He probably can’t last for much longer, so we need to rescue him as soon as possible,” Jian Chen said sternly.

When he heard that, the Warring Old Freak let out a long sigh. He said powerlessly, “If he wasn’t eaten, then he’d be fine, but if he’s already in its belly, then it’ll be difficult to save him with me alone.”

“I can assist you on the side!” Jian Chen said.

“You?” The Warring Old Freak looked at Jian Chen doubtfully, but he soon thought of something. “You plan on using the same methods you used against Space-purging against the Starflame Demon Lion?”

“That’s right, senior!”

“How much confidence do you have?” The Warring Old Freak became reinvigorated. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at Jian Chen closely.

“If I work with senior Warring, I have quite a bit of confidence,” Jian Chen said.

“Since that’s the case, let’s set off right now. I’m also interested in seeing just how powerful the formation you used to kill the Space-purging Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment is.” The Warring Old Freak moved swiftly. As soon as he said that, he left the Hall Brilliance Heaven with Jian Chen, arriving in outer space.

“Which direction is the Starflame Demon Lion located?” The Warring Old Freak looked at Jian Chen.

Afterwards, Jian Chen gave the directions while the Warring Old Freak personally brought him along. With his speed as a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, he moved through the vast sea of stars even more quickly than Jian Chen when he used the Laws of Space.

By the time they returned to the asteroid field where the Starflame Demon Lion rested, they had only used a third of the time that Jian Chen had needed to reach the Hall Brilliance Heaven.

And that was under the circumstances that the Warring Old Freak was not using his full strength. Otherwise, they would only be faster.

“Sure enough, it’s the Starflame Demon Lion from a million years ago. I never thought that it would still survive even after being carved into pieces.” As soon as they entered the asteroid field, the Warring Old Freak noticed the Starflame Demon Lion on a dead planet. His eyes immediately flashed with cold light.

They approached it silently with their presence erased, so the Starflame Demon Lion that lay on the dead planet failed to sense their approach.

“We’ll come up with a way to save Tan Yu, and then I’ll keep it busy and seek help from other heavens so that we gather more experts. We have to slay it!” The Warring Old Freak communicated to Jian Chen and said, “I’m going to do it. Wait for your opportunity and strike when the time is right. Let’s see if you can injure it with the formation. If you can’t, we’ll have to come up with other ideas.”

Jian Chen nodded sternly. He had already sent a wisp of the senses of his soul into the Primeval Divine Hall to get the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and everyone else to prepare the Divine Formation of the Heavens.

“Hmm?” Right when the Warring Old Freak was about to take action, his expression changed as he scanned the asteroid field with a strange light in his eyes. In the end, his gaze stopped on a region of space; he whispered, “Interesting. I didn’t expect other people to be hidden here.”
