The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 883: Chapter 883: Asking for Help

Silence!

The entire courtyard was silent, so quiet that one could hear the heartbeat of everyone present.

Chu Xianlie’s eyes showed a hint of inexplicable shock as he looked at Second.

How strong is Jing Yan’s subordinate? Chu Xianlie had a feeling that even he might not be a match for this person named Second.

Could he be a Saint Realm Third Stage expert?

Chu Xianlie pondered briefly, then shook his head slightly. The possibility of Second being Saint Realm Third Stage was minimal; the experts of Saint Realm Third Stage within Despair Abyss were all renowned figures. Moreover, would a Saint Realm Third Stage expert be willing to become someone else’s subordinate?

But regardless, Second’s strength was undoubtedly formidable, that was beyond doubt.

After recovering from her shock, Fang Ruoyu’s face lit up with joy. She knew Second was the strongest among the six puppets, but she didn’t expect him to be this powerful. Apparently, when Second mentioned that not even Saint Realm Third Stage experts could do anything against them, it was entirely true without exaggeration.

”Is my son Jing Yan really a Saint Realm Martial Artist?” Chu Lianxing mused, ”If he wasn’t Saint Realm, how could he have such a powerful follower?”

Even though Jing Yan had previously claimed to be Saint Realm Third Stage, Chu Lianxing found it hard to completely believe at that time.

Saint Realm Third Stage? That seemed unbelievable. But now, it seemed possible that her son Jing Yan was indeed a Saint Realm Third Stage expert.

”Come!” Chu Xianlie ordered.

”Yes!” Several guards responded quickly.

”Take Chu Dongxiong down for treatment.” Chu Xianlie waved his hand.

Chu Dongxiong’s injuries were severe, as he couldn’t even get up from the ground. If not treated promptly, it could lead to serious complications.

”Yes.” The guards moved to Chu Dongxiong and carried him away.

”Everyone, let’s return to the Council Hall to continue discussing what we were talking about earlier.” Chu Xianlie looked around at everyone.

”Lord Commander, are we just going to let this go?” Chu Zhen asked seriously.

”What do you mean?” Chu Xianlie frowned at Chu Zhen.

”Jing Yan’s man hurt Dongxiong, are we not going to hold Jing Yan accountable? Is Dongxiong just going to suffer in vain?” Chu Zhen looked at Jing Yan.

”Deputy Commander Chu Zhen, from the start, it was Chu Dongxiong who provoked this, what does it have to do with Jing Yan?” Chu Xianlie was also somewhat annoyed, his tone harsh.

”But Dongxiong was supposed to represent the Chu Family in the upcoming contest, now that he’s injured, who will replace him? Dongxiong’s injuries are severe, making it impossible for him to participate in the literary contest against Jade Book Sect in three days.” Chu Zhen continued.

”That’s why we need to continue discussing this matter! Chu Zhen, enough with the unnecessary talk.” Chu Xianlie ordered directly.

Chu Zhen frowned but didn’t say anything further.

Everyone returned to the Council Hall and resumed discussing the literary contest.

”Jing Yan, are you willing to help with this matter?” Chu Xianlie suddenly asked Jing Yan as they were talking.

Everyone fell silent and turned their gaze to Jing Yan.

”What do you mean, Lord Commander?” Jing Yan asked with a smile.

”Jing Yan, you already know the situation. Our Chu Family and Jade Book Sect are set to have a literary contest in three days to compete for mining rights to a new resource. Each side will send three individuals to participate. Currently, our Chu Family has Chu Qingyao and Huang Yishan, but we need one more.”

”Your subordinates are very powerful. When Chu Dongxiong fought with Old Seven, I could see that Old Seven is a Body Refining Martial Artist of the Tiaoist Emperor Realm with strong combat power. I want you to let Old Seven represent the Chu Family in this contest since he meets the requirements.” Chu Xianlie looked at Jing Yan.

When Old Seven defeated Chu Dongxiong, he thought about having Chu Lianxing persuade Jing Yan. But after witnessing Second’s terrifying power, he felt it was better to personally ask to show respect for Jing Yan.

Even if Jing Yan was reluctant, considering his mother Chu Lianxing, he would likely agree.

”Jing Yan, the situation is urgent. If it’s convenient for you, please help us.” Chu Lianxing added softly.

”Mother, since you said it, how could I refuse?” Jing Yan smiled.

”Jing Yan, you helping with this won’t be without reward. The family will give you generous rewards.” A Deputy Commander said.

”Haha, honestly, I have no interest in any rewards from the Chu Family. So, it’s better to keep them.” Jing Yan sneered.

The Deputy Commander’s face turned pale, feeling a bit embarrassed.

But he didn’t say anything further.

Clearly, Jing Yan didn’t come to the Chu Family Camp for cultivation resources.

Having a powerful subordinate like Second, would Jing Yan even care about the resources the Chu Family could offer? Everyone understood this very well now.

”Jing Yan, thank you so much. On behalf of the Chu Family Camp, I thank you.” Chu Xianlie stood up sincerely.

It was evident that Jing Yan couldn’t be treated like a junior.

Everyone knew Jing Yan owed nothing to the Chu Family. Growing up in Heavenly Origin Continent and never using the Chu Family’s resources for cultivation, they had no grounds to blame him if he refused to help.

”No need for formalities.” Jing Yan replied indifferently.

”Does anyone have any objections regarding the selection of representatives?” Chu Xianlie looked at everyone again.

This time, Chu Zhen kept quiet. Old Seven’s victory over Chu Dongxiong was a fact, making him a better choice for representing the Chu Family. Besides, with Chu Dongxiong injured, he was no longer an option.

”Then it’s settled. We will depart for the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp tomorrow.” Chu Xianlie concluded.

Everyone dispersed afterward.

Jing Yan continued chatting with his mother Chu Lianxing back at her residence, revealing the true identity of his subordinates.

Chu Lianxing was amazed upon hearing that Jing Yan entered the Death Temple twice, passed the Divine Palace Guards’ tests, and received its complete heritage. Unexpectedly, Jing Yan had even unlocked the Qiankun Ring’s seal.

The next day, Jing Yan and the Chu Family members boarded a warship heading for the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp.

The warship bore the Chu Family emblem, so it had no problems flying within the gathering area.

The Chu Family, being a Second Grade Force in the Quicksand Divine Domain, wielded considerable power. Generally, no one would dare challenge the Chu Family’s warship. Most would avoid it upon sighting it from afar.

However, the warship’s speed left much to be desired, far slower than Jing Yan’s flying speed. If Jing Yan flew directly, he could reach the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp within four hours, but the warship took over a day to reach its destination.
