Chapter 2385 - Leaving the Desolate Plane
This was because he saw with a single glance that the teleportation formation across planes in the imperial capital of the Violet Wind Empire had also been sealed up, enveloped by a formation.
The light in Jian Chen’s eyes flickered as he paid attention to the surroundings.
There were several regional teleportation formations within the imperial capital of the Violet Wind Empire. However, there was only a single teleportation formation that could take people across planes, and it was the one that the unkempt old man guarded.
“The Celestial Sword Saint said that I could leave through a teleportation formation in the imperial capital of the Violet Wind Empire. Is this it?” In the end, Jian Chen still stared at the teleportation formation up ahead. After a moment of hesitation, he approached it slowly.
“Stop! This place is forbidden! No one can approach here!”
Before Jian Chen had even gotten close, the soldiers who guarded the surroundings all stopped him and Kai Ya.
“Move.” The unkempt old man walked over lazily and dismissed the soldiers in the surroundings. He looked at Jian Chen and Kai Ya with interest.
“What do you two kiddos want?” asked the unkempt old man. He seemed like a beggar in his current shape, possessing none of a Primordial realm expert’s bearing.
“Senior, we want to use the teleportation formation. May I ask if you can allow us?” Jian Chen clasped his fist.
In reality, all people who wanted to use teleportation formations between planes would be treated with great suspicion at such a sensitive time. Jian Chen had only been so straightforward with the unkempt old man because he trusted the Celestial Sword Saint.
Who was the Celestial Sword Saint? He was a terrifying existence that did not even fear the Heaven-splitting Ancestor. Since he had said that the teleportation formation in the Violet Wind Empire could take him away, it must have been the truth.
However, Jian Chen was uncertain about whether the Celestial Sword Saint was referring to the one before him. However, he had no more time to search for a second teleportation formation with the situation he currently faced.
Moreover, he had already prepared for the worst when he asked this question. Once the situation felt off, he would immediately rip open space and flee into the spatial crack with Kai Ya.
He had reached the Sword Immortal realm now. His strength had increased drastically, so he could unleash even more power from the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways. Ripping open space was nothing too difficult for him now.
“You want to leave the Desolate Plane through a teleportation formation?”
The unkempt old man was clearly surprised when he heard Jian Chen’s question. He looked at Jian Chen with a rather strange gaze as he felt somewhat astonished. He wondered, “This brat should know that all the teleportation formations between planes are closed, but he just has to come to where I am. Does he know that he can leave through here? Or is this all just a coincidence?”
“But this brat sure is a troublemaker. Wherever he goes, there will be no peace. He went to the Neptunean Divine Palace and half of the supreme Godkings died in the end. He came to the Desolate Plane and ended up upheaving the entire place, even provoking the Bloodtear Grand Exalt. If he continues like this, when will the Desolate Plane quieten down...”
“Since he wants to leave, I’ll just let him leave. Only when he leaves will the Desolate Plane regain peace...” As soon as he thought of that, the unkempt old man smiled evilly. He looked at Jian Chen strangely and sniggered, “It’s not impossible for you to use the teleportation formation. It’s just that now is not your usual time, so the price will obviously be slightly higher than usual. Kid, I wonder if you can afford the price.”
Jian Chen immediately became relieved when he heard that the teleportation formation was available. However, he did not lower his guard at all. “Then state your price.”
The unkempt old man slowly extended five fingers and smiled. “Five hundred five-colored divine crystals per person. There are two of you, so a thousand five-colored divine crystals in total.”
Jian Chen frowned when he heard that. The price was over ten times more than normal.
However, his priority right now was to leave the Desolate Plane and flee from this place of danger, so he was no longer in the position to care about his wealth.
He just happened to have a thousand five-colored divine crystals in his Space Ring. He had obtained them from the Neptunean Divine Palace in the past.
“Impressive, impressive. It looks like you’re pretty rich since you can really take out a thousand five-colored divine crystals. Go over.” The unkempt old man played around with the Space Ring that Jian Chen had passed over before waving at the teleportation formation behind him casually.
There were no pulses of energy, nor was there any pressure. However, with a casual wave from the unkempt old man, a crack silently appeared within the powerful formation that sealed up the teleportation formation. It happened to be just big enough for two people to pass through.
Jian Chen failed to see the secrets behind this. He only thought that the old man had used a secret technique to open the lock.
He silently sensed around, and after confirming that there were no dangers, he quickly made his way over to the teleportation formation with Kai Ya.
Very soon, the teleportation formation was activated, and under the illumination of intense white light, Jian Chen and Kai Ya vanished.
However, right when they vanished, the unkempt old man who watched over the teleportation formation seemed to sense something. A sliver of interest immediately appeared in his eyes as he stared at the empty teleportation formation with shining eyes. He was secretly amazed. “Gusta’s fleshly core is actually on that brat. It’s impossible for the Bloodtear Grand Exalt to not sense the presence of the fleshly core when his will descended, but he just didn’t take it away.”
The unkempt old man’s gaze suddenly became extremely profound as he wondered, “It looks like this brat is even more complicated than I imagined him to be. It’s just a pity that I can’t peer into anything about him. Strange, truly strange...”
Within an estate in the central region of the Desolate Plane.
Audriana, let’s go. Our God clan really can’t help Jian Chen at all...” The hall elder of the God clan, Tyne, sighed gently and powerlessly.
“Elder, is there really nothing else we can do?” Audriana still did not give up. She wanted to try everything.
Tyne sighed gently. “Jian Chen is far too reckless. He has no idea just how great a trouble he has made. He has destroyed the Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s arrangements and drawn out the Bloodtear Grand Exalt. You should be able to imagine the severity of the trouble that Jian Chen has made to personally alarm the Bloodtear Grand Exalt. The Bloodtear Grand Exalt won’t spare him.”
Tyne looked towards the direction of the underground cavern deeply and continued, “Perhaps Jian Chen has already been taken away by the Bloodtear Grand Exalt. Once he ends up in the hands of a Grand Exalt, even the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng can’t save him.”
