The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1114: Chapter 1114: Too Embarrassing

The pressure on Guan Lun was increasing.

Jing Yan was right beside Guan Lun, and he could feel the chaotic fluctuations in the aura of Chief Guan Lun. If things continued like this, the protective energy shield that Guan Lun was holding up would sooner or later be broken by Yin Tianhe.

”What to do?” Jing Yan was becoming increasingly anxious.

Once Guan Lun’s energy shield is broken, he would have to face Yin Tianhe’s direct attack.

What can be done?

Should he hide inside the Qiankun Small World?

If the Qiankun Small World falls into Yin Tianhe’s hands, then he will truly have no place to be buried!

Unless absolutely necessary, Jing Yan did not want to hide inside the Qiankun Small World. Moreover, there are many secrets in the Qiankun Small World that cannot be divulged. These secrets are of great importance, and if they are spread, the consequences would be unpredictable. Even if Guan Lun obtained the Qiankun Small World, Jing Yan could not be sure that Guan Lun would remain uninterested in the treasures within the Small World.

The Fire Origin, Moro Time Tower, and Daozhen Stone Milk are all priceless treasures. Especially the Fire Origin, it’s likely that even those at the Main God Level would fight for it.

”Chief Guan Lun won’t be able to hold on for much longer.”

”Indeed! Chief Guan Lun is on defense while Chief Yin Tianhe attacks. It’s not an equal struggle. Plus, Chief Guan Lun is also using part of his strength to protect Jing Yan’s safety.”

”Hmm, at most after a cup of tea’s time, Chief Guan Lun’s defense energy shield will certainly be broken.”

”It seems Jing Yan is still destined to be killed!”

Among the Martial Artists watching, there were also intermediate True Gods and even some who had stepped into the ranks of high-level True Gods. Their judgment was quite accurate.

The sinister smile on Yin Tianhe’s face became more apparent. He knew he was about to break Chief Guan Lun’s protective energy shield, and by then, it would be Jing Yan’s death date. He was pondering how to kill Jing Yan—whether to torture him slowly or kill him with a swift slap.

”Stop!”

At this moment, a low shout suddenly came from the sky.

Following that, the figure of Supreme Elder Yongming appeared in the void, flying swiftly towards them.

”Chief Yin Tianhe, stop immediately.” As Yongming approached, he spoke again, looking at Yin Tianhe.

”Hmm?” Yin Tianhe looked up at Yongming in the sky, his expression changing multiple times.

Yongming actually asked him to stop?

”Elder Yongming, what do you mean by this?” Yin Tianhe frowned and asked.

”Chief Yin Tianhe, please stop and listen to what I have to say.” Yongming frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.

In terms of identity and status, the Supreme Elder of Jidao Palace was comparable to the Chief of the Ninety-Nine Departments. However, the Supreme Elder interacted relatively more with figures like the Palace Master and Vice Palace Master.

”Heh, Elder Yongming, if you don’t provide a reasonable explanation, I don’t think I can stop.” Yin Tianhe sneered.

In fact, Yin Tianhe did not want to become hostile with Yongming, but given the circumstances, he had no choice but to brace himself. Yongming’s appearance sided him with Guan Lun and Jing Yan.

When Guan Lun and Jing Yan saw Yongming, and heard him ordering Yin Tianhe to stop, they were both delighted. Especially Jing Yan, as this concerned his life. With Yongming and Guan Lun protecting him, Yin Tianhe would certainly have no opportunity to harm him.

”Greetings to Supreme Elder Yongming.” Jing Yan bowed respectfully.

”Hmm!” Yongming nodded at Jing Yan.

Then he turned to Yin Tianhe, ”Chief Yin Tianhe, I must take Jing Yan to Jidao Palace immediately.”

Yongming didn’t want to waste too much time here.

”That can’t be. The issue between this little wretch and me isn’t resolved, how can he be allowed to leave?” Yin Tianhe, somewhat overtaken by anger, failed to realize that Yongming meant to take Jing Yan to Jidao Palace.

Why bring Jing Yan to Jidao Palace?

Could a mere Sixth Palace martial artist go to Jidao Palace?

Even members of the headquarters of the Ninety-Nine Departments in the Eighth Palace are not qualified to enter the Ninth Palace of Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

”Swish!”

At this time, a vast and boundless wave of energy enveloped the entire area.

Soon after, a blue phantom appeared in the sky above.

It was Palace Master Xiao Ying!

This phantom was the image of the Palace Master.

Of course, this wasn’t Xiao Ying himself; he was still in Jidao Palace. The one appearing in the Sixth Palace was merely his projection.

”Chief Yin Tianhe, Elder Yongming is bringing Jing Yan to Jidao Palace on my orders,” Xiao Ying’s projection said calmly as he looked at Yin Tianhe.

”Ah?” Yin Tianhe was stunned.

His actions paused, and in a flash, Yin Tianhe’s face flushed with shock and turmoil inside.

The Palace Master wanted to see Jing Yan?

Yin Tianhe was utterly speechless, standing there dumbfounded.

Fortunately, after finishing that sentence, Palace Master Xiao Ying’s projection slowly dissipated, not waiting for any response from Yin Tianhe.

”Young friend Jing Yan, come with me,” Yongming smiled at Jing Yan, gesturing for him to follow.

”Yes!” Jing Yan quickly replied.

Guan Lun also withdrew the defense energy shield.

Unless Yin Tianhe wished to act foolishly, with the Palace Master’s intervention, he would not dare lay a hand on Jing Yan again.

”Chief, I deeply thank you. With the Palace Master’s summon, I must not delay. I will take my leave first.” Jing Yan bowed to Guan Lun.

”Go ahead,” Guan Lun nodded.

Supreme Elder Yongming, along with Jing Yan, quickly flew away.

The many Martial Artists around the plaza were once again left dumbfounded. The events of the day had left them in a daze. First, Jing Yan took down Yin Hua, then Yin Hua’s father Yin Tianhe attempted to kill Jing Yan, which Chief Guan Lun staunchly opposed. Later, Supreme Elder Yongming descended to take Jing Yan to see the Palace Master.

How could Jing Yan possibly meet the Palace Master?

The status of the Palace Master is so esteemed. Even the Supreme Elders do not have free access to him. Yet now, Palace Master Xiao Ying wanted Supreme Elder Yongming to bring Jing Yan to him.

This... it’s somewhat surreal.

Among everyone at the plaza, Yin Tianhe was undoubtedly the most embarrassed. His face alternated between green and white as he glanced around the area, then clenched his fist fiercely before turning away with his son Yin Hua.

...

”Elder, may I know why the Palace Master is seeking me?” Jing Yan asked apprehensively.

Although temporarily free from Yin Tianhe’s threat, the sudden summon by the Palace Master was beyond Jing Yan’s expectations. Since entering Luo Jiu Divine Palace, he had never met Palace Master Xiao Ying, let alone had any interactions with him. Until today, he had never even seen the Palace Master.

”I’m not sure either. The Palace Master only instructed me to bring you to Jidao Palace. As for the reason, I don’t know.” Yongming shook his head.
