The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1533: Chapter 1533: The Truth

When Zhi Chang Divine Emperor spoke this way, Jing Yan’s killing intent receded somewhat. He nodded toward Zhi Chang Divine Emperor, and then turned his gaze to Meng Lu Divine Emperor, who was tens of thousands of meters away.

If Meng Lu Divine Emperor was sensible, Jing Yan wouldn’t necessarily have to kill him. But if this man still wasn’t sensible, then Jing Yan wouldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.

Zhi Chang Divine Emperor’s words indeed made sense; at present, the situation for humans was indeed not optimistic. Martial artists of the Divine Emperor level hold certain importance for humanity, but that’s about it. If Meng Lu Divine Emperor continued to pester and speak disrespectfully, Jing Yan would surely not show mercy again.

Meng Lu also realized this; he became much more honest compared to earlier. After determining that Jing Yan was far more powerful, he lost any intention to provoke him. He was just that kind of person; if Jing Yan’s strength was inferior to his, he wouldn’t let go so easily. With his personality, even if he couldn’t kill Jing Yan, he would keep biting to try to gain some benefits.

But now, the thought of benefits was abandoned; he knew that if he provoked further, he might not even keep his life.

”Meng Lu, I’ll remember this account for today. In the future, it would be best for you to keep a low profile. If you make mistakes again in my presence, then old and new accounts will be settled together,” Jing Yan shouted at Meng Lu.

The implied meaning was that today’s matter would end here.

Hearing this from Jing Yan, Meng Lu also exhaled a sigh of relief. Zhi Chang Divine Emperor of the First Divine Realm likewise exhaled, looking much more relaxed.

Meng Lu Divine Emperor didn’t dare talk back!

This is the power of strength!

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, Fellow Daoist Zhan Yue, shall we continue with the Nine Realms Conference?” Zhi Chang Divine Emperor took a look at Jing Yan, then at Zhan Yue.

This time, he put Jing Yan’s name first.

In his subconscious, he clearly believed Jing Yan’s status was higher than Zhan Yue God Emperor’s. Of course, technically speaking, Jing Yan was Zhan Yue’s disciple and Zhan Yue was the leader of the Seventh Divine Domain. Zhi Chang Divine Emperor placed Jing Yan’s name before Zhan Yue’s without thinking deeply.

Zhan Yue God Emperor didn’t mind this at all.

By now, Zhan Yue’s emotions were still unsettled. Jing Yan was her disciple, and she was genuinely happy that Jing Yan had entered the God Emperor realm. But this was entirely beyond her expectations.

She had thought it would be possible for Jing Yan to reach the God Emperor level in his cultivation path in the future, but she hadn’t expected it would happen so soon. Moreover, based on Jing Yan’s display of strength just now, perhaps no martial artist at the God Emperor level within the Nine Great Divine Realms would dare claim to be stronger than Jing Yan.

”Zhi Chang Divine Emperor, please wait a moment,” Jing Yan shook his head.

He turned his gaze toward Yang Qin Divine Sovereign of the Fifth Divine Realm.

Yang Qin Divine Sovereign had entered Chaos Relics with the Death Temple’s master at the time. Within the relics, Yang Qin would naturally know everything that happened clearly.

Feeling Jing Yan’s gaze upon him, Yang Qin Divine Sovereign lowered his head, his face somewhat flushed. His feelings were complex, filled with shame and a bit of fear. He knew that if Jing Yan God Emperor wanted to kill him, even the leader of the Fifth Divine Realm probably wouldn’t be able to save him. But mostly, he felt ashamed.

Yang Qin Divine Sovereign bowed his head as if in contemplation for a moment before raising his head.

”Jing Yan God Emperor, I understand your intent. Now, I will explain here what occurred within the Chaos Relics,” Yang Qin Divine Sovereign said loudly.

”The master of the Death Temple is also Brother Mo. Brother Mo is skilled in the Death Law, but he is a gentle-natured person who likes to help others. Originally, Brother Mo had no intention of entering the Chaos Relics; it was only because Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign repeatedly asked for his help that he agreed to go along.”

”And the reason Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign repeatedly wanted Brother Mo to enter this Chaos Relics was precisely because of Brother Mo’s proficiency in the Death Law. Within these Chaos Relics, martial artists adept in the Death Law would relatively hold an advantage.”

”Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign didn’t lie about one thing; Brother Mo did indeed discover a remarkable treasure. However, this treasure was discovered solely by Brother Mo, not found by the five of us together. By rule, this treasure should entirely belong to Brother Mo. In fact, if Brother Mo didn’t want us to know about the treasure discovery, we wouldn’t have noticed at all. Brother Mo is an upright person; immediately after discovering this treasure, he informed us.”

”Next, everyone can probably guess what happened. Indeed, Zhi Ying, Wang Jie, and Lu Chen, the three of them, harbored malicious intent, wanting to seize Brother Mo’s treasure, thus they colluded to harm Brother Mo. Although I didn’t attack Brother Mo, I was shaken at the time. Had I not wavered, had I stopped Zhi Ying and the others, perhaps Brother Mo wouldn’t have died.”

”Jing Yan God Emperor, if you wish to kill me, just go ahead, for I am indeed guilty,” Yang Qin Divine Sovereign looked at Jing Yan.

”Yang Qin, I indeed also disdain your actions. However, since you didn’t attack my master, I won’t kill you,” Jing Yan said indifferently to Yang Qin.

”Now, everyone knows the specifics of the incident. Does anyone believe that Zhi Ying, Wang Jie, and Lu Chen should not meet their end?” Jing Yan surveyed the gathered martial artists.

Not a single person spoke.

From Yang Qin Divine Sovereign’s narrative, it was apparent the three should indeed die. Especially as the Death Temple’s master had regarded them as friends, yet they secretly plotted against him. Such character is truly despicable.

Of course, situations involving murder and treasure theft weren’t rare; such examples where people secretly plot against friends abound.

If the Death Temple’s master hadn’t possessed an outstanding disciple like Jing Yan, Zhi Ying and the others would still be living well. Who would avenge the Death Temple’s master? Who would care about what transpired within the Chaos Relics?

The crowds returned to the Nine Realms Divine Palace, and the Nine Realms Conference resumed.

Yet now, everyone’s mindset had changed significantly from before.

Especially the martial artists from the Fourth Divine Domain, the Sixth Divine Domain, and the Ninth Divine Domain.

Earlier, these three divine domains had secretly contacted each other, planning to unite to bully the Seventh Divine Domain. But now, with Jing Yan God Emperor emerging from the Seventh Divine Domain, their plans were doomed to fail.

A single Jing Yan God Emperor was enough to dismantle the pressure they had built up together.

”Dispatch a team to the God Burying Domain, that seems fitting. I think the Fourth Divine Domain, Sixth Divine Domain, and Ninth Divine Domain should each send twenty Divine Sovereigns and one hundred Emperor God Masters to support the defense forces there.” Jing Yan spoke first after sitting down.

The martial artists from the Fourth Divine Domain, Sixth Divine Domain, and Ninth Divine Domain all wore tense expressions.
