Everyone naturally knew who True Monarch Jian Chen's master was. He was the great elder of the Valley of the Sacred Sword, a Grand Ascension Stage expert, the Transit Star Monarch.
Since True Monarch Jian Chen had called out like that, it meant that the Transit Star Monarch had really come to Lightning Crane City. Perhaps he was hiding somewhere in the sky.
After all, there were very few people in the Cultivation World who could discover an expert of that level once he hid himself, unless they were also Grand Ascension Stage experts.
In reality, everyone was only looking at the sky out of curiosity. They were unable to discover anything at all with their cultivation.
"Hmph, if it weren't for your Grand Ascension Stage master, do you really think you're capable of becoming the sect master?"
"You want to cripple me and strip me of my status as an elder before chasing me out of the sect? It's best if those four brats kill you immediately. Let's see what you can do then."
True Monarch Jian Qing was extremely displeased with True Monarch Jian Chen. He wanted nothing more than for True Monarch Jian Chen to die at the hands of Luo Ping's group of four. That way, the position of sect master of the Valley of the Sacred Sword would naturally fall to him.
However, when he heard that True Monarch Jian Chen was actually asking his master for help, he knew that the situation was bad. Once the Transit Star Monarch appeared, Luo Ping's group of four would have no chance to continue killing True Monarch Jian Chen.
With the Transit Star Monarch's methods, saving True Monarch Jian Chen would be a piece of cake. At this moment, True Monarch Jian Qing was constantly praying that Luo Ping would immediately kill True Monarch Jian Chen.
Luo Ping's group of four still wanted to force True Monarch Jian Chen to release Xiao Yan. Naturally, they would not do as True Monarch Jian Qing wished and immediately kill True Monarch Jian Chen. They were not worried about True Monarch Jian Chen's request at all.
"Haha, you old bastard Jian Chen, are you asking the Transit Star Monarch for help? It's a pity that the Transit Star Monarch is currently tied down by my father. He probably won't have the time to save you. "
Guang Quanzi smiled at True Monarch Jian Chen as if he was extremely happy.
"What?"
True Monarch Jian Chen's voice trembled when he heard that. If even the Transit Star Lord was kept busy, no one would be able to save him.
"Hmph, you'd better obediently release my old master. Otherwise, I'll definitely torture you until you wish you were dead. You won't be able to die even if you want to."
Luo Ping's expression changed as he said coldly.
He only wanted the other party to release his old man's master as soon as possible. After all, his old man's master had been imprisoned for such a long time. Although he hadn't been killed, he was probably half-dead.
Luo Ping did not hold back at all against True Monarch Lei Guang. As he spoke, he controlled the Lei Guang to increase the power of his attacks, causing True Monarch Jian Chen to suffer great pain. He screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Ah … Ow … Ah … Ow …"
"Luo Ping, if you dare to torture me like this again, your master will really die."
As True Monarch Jian Chen howled in pain, he began to use Xiao Yan's life to threaten Luo Ping.
"You have no room to bargain. Either you release my master now, or you continue to suffer the torture of the Lei Guang's lightning."
"Perhaps you have another choice, which is to end your own life. However, even if you die, senior Helian will be able to save my old man's master."
Luo Ping was not threatened at all. He continued to speak forcefully.
Moreover, Luo Ping had given True Monarch Jian Chen a 'clear path', which was to end his own life. That way, he wouldn't have to suffer anymore.
"Ah … As long as you release me, I'll immediately release your master."
True Monarch Jian Chen naturally wouldn't end his own life. He began to 'negotiate' with Luo Ping.
Luo Ping knew that True Monarch Jian Chen definitely wouldn't give up his identity and status to end his own life here. That was why he gave him a 'clear path'.
"I've already said that you have no right to negotiate. If you want to live, release my master immediately. Otherwise, I might really do something uncontrollable in a moment of desperation."
Luo Ping continued in a firm tone.
This time, True Monarch Jian Chen didn't answer immediately. Instead, he chose to remain silent. However, he continued to howl in pain.
"Ah … Fine, I can release your master now. However, you have to swear a Blood Oath to not go back on your words and kill me."
Although True Monarch Jian Chen agreed to release his master, he still demanded that Luo Ping and the others swear a Blood Oath to not kill him for the sake of his own life.
Luo Ping was a little angry when he heard that. However, he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at Guang Quanzi and the others. The other three immediately understood what he meant.
"Okay, we promise you. We swear a Blood Oath to not harm you."
Guang Quanzi was the first to speak. Then, Luo Ping and the others all agreed. Thus, the four of them swore a Blood Oath at the same time.
After Luo Ping and the others swore, True Monarch Jian Chen continued, "Xiao Yan is with my master now. Even if you don't let him come to save me, if you want to release Xiao Yan, you have to let him come here."
"So, you better tell Helian Huochi to stop pestering my master. Otherwise, it will only delay the time you have to see Xiao Yan," True Monarch Jian Chen said in a low voice.
He was now extremely weak under the attack of the lightning. His Nascent Soul was on the verge of collapse and his True Yuan was about to be depleted.
"Brother Guang Quanzi, let Senior Helian stop for now. Let the Transit Star Sovereign come here first. I believe that with Senior Helian here, it won't be easy for the Transit Star Sovereign to save Jian Chen."
Luo Ping said to Guang Quanzi.
"Okay, no problem. I'll contact my father now."
After Guang Quanzi said that, he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman. He didn't open his mouth to speak. Instead, he stuck the Sound Transmission Talisman on his forehead. Then, he took it away and threw it into the void. The Sound Transmission Talisman disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Most people recognized the Sound Transmission Talisman that Guang Quanzi used. It was a one-time use Sound Transmission Talisman. It was used when the receiver couldn't use the Sound Transmission Talisman.
This kind of Sound Transmission Talisman transmitted telepathic thoughts. When the Sound Transmission Talisman got close to the receiver, it would directly stick to the receiver's forehead and transmit the telepathic thoughts into the receiver's mind. After the message was sent, the Sound Transmission Talisman would immediately shatter.
Even if a stranger intercepted the Sound Transmission Talisman midway and wanted to check the message, the Sound Transmission Talisman would immediately shatter as long as the other party placed the Sound Transmission Talisman on the receiver's forehead.
This was because the Sound Transmission Talisman had already specified the receiver when transmitting the telepathic thoughts. Therefore, it could avoid being checked by strangers and would automatically shatter.
Not long after the sound transmission talisman disappeared, before the crowd could react, two figures suddenly appeared above the battle stage area, looking down at Luo Ping's group from above.
One of them was the Transit Star Sovereign of the Valley of the Sacred Sword. Many people had seen him before, so they recognized him with a single glance.
At this moment, the Transit Star Sovereign looked down at the situation in the arena with a gloomy face. However, he didn't do anything. Instead, he looked at the person opposite him with vigilance.
The person opposite the Transit Star Sovereign was covered in a fiery-red robe. Even his head was covered by a hat.
The front of the hat was sealed and covered his face. Only a pair of eyes were exposed.
Everyone knew that this person was the number one assassin in the God Slayer Alliance, Helian Huozhi, also known as the Asura of Hell.
He was the True Star Moon Immotals who was framed by the Valley of the Sacred Sword ten thousand years ago and almost died. This filled everyone with endless curiosity. They kept looking at him, wanting to see this genius expert from back then.
"Master, I have already promised them to release Xiao Yan. Only by releasing Xiao Yan will the four of them be willing to release me."
"Master, for the sake of your disciple's life, please release Xiao Yan. Otherwise, they will really kill me."
Seeing the Transit Star Sovereign appear, True Lord Jian Chen immediately grasped at a life-saving straw and said without hesitation.
"What a disgrace. What a piece of trash."
The Transit Star Sovereign looked very disappointed. He said, "An expert in the Way of the Sword needs to have a fearless and unyielding heart. You don't have that. You are afraid of death. It will be difficult for you to achieve great things."
"If you weren't my disciple back then, do you think you could have obtained the position of Sect Master? Today, you have already disgraced yourself. You are no longer fit to be the Sect Master of the Valley of the Sacred Sword. "
"As for whether Xiao Yan will be released or not, that's my problem. You don't have to worry about it. I won't interfere if they want to kill or torture him."
The Transit Star Sovereign scolded True Lord Jian Chen without holding back. He did not plan to save him. He was already prepared to change the Sect Master of the Valley of the Sacred Sword.
As for the matter of releasing Xiao Yan, the Transit Star Sovereign seemed to have his own ideas. He was not willing to listen to True Lord Jian Chen's request. He was extremely disappointed in the latter.
"Master, you can't do this. Everything that I did back then was all because of you. The reason why I ended up like this is all because of you."
"Master, as long as you save me, I don't need to be the Sect Master anymore. I just need to stay alive. Master, you can't just watch me die."
True Lord Jian Chen was extremely emotional right now. If the Transit Star Sovereign ignored him, he really would have no hope of staying alive.
Although Luo Ping and the others had already sworn an oath, the prerequisite was that he had to release Xiao Yan. Now that the Transit Star Sovereign was unwilling to release Xiao Yan, Luo Ping and the others could kill him without any problems.
In order to stay alive, True Lord Jian Chen was willing to give up the position of Sect Master of the Valley of the Sacred Sword. Hearing his heart-wrenching cries for help, the onlookers all sighed emotionally.
He was the mighty Sect Master of a first-rate sect, yet he had ended up like this. He was begging for help without any regard for his dignity. He had lost all dignity. He had completely lost the boldness and demeanor of an expert.
While many people looked down on True Monarch Jian Chen, they also resonated with him slightly. The path of cultivation was long and arduous. If you wanted to go even further, you had to stay alive.
If you wanted to undergo the tribulation and ascend to the Immortal Realm, you had to constantly increase your strength and survive in the cruel and merciless world of cultivation. Only then could you achieve your goal step by step.
