The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1562: Chapter 1562: Heavenly Venerates in Uproar

The number of active Human Clan Venerables is only around ten.

Because of the opening of the Chaos Secret Realm, three Human Clan Venerables led teams to Sky Creation City, naturally causing the Human Clan’s power to temporarily decline.

Ren Jiang Venerable and others suspect that the news of Demon King Kujixie’s death is a smoke screen deliberately released by the Sky Demon Clan to confuse the Human Clan, which is quite plausible.

Moreover, how could a powerful demon king like Kujixie die so easily?

Among the active Human Clan Venerables, no one dares to claim they can kill Kujixie in a one-on-one battle. In other words, multiple Venerables joining forces would be necessary to kill Kujixie.

And now, after communication, everyone is certain that they have never attempted to join forces to kill Kujixie.

Kujixie spent most of his time holed up in his lair, the Demon Domain, leaving the Venerables almost no way to kill this demon king even if they wished to.

Since the Venerables haven’t acted, how could Kujixie have died?

”Indeed, this is possible!”

”However, the spy who sent the news this time is absolutely loyal, without any suspicion. If the death of Kujixie wasn’t certain, the spy shouldn’t have been so sure.”

”Additionally, to confirm this matter, I have already arranged multiple spies to verify this information, and there should be a response soon.” Wuyou Venerable spoke.

In the past few tens of thousands of years, Wuyou Venerable has mainly been responsible for tracking the dynamics of the Sky Demon Clan. This task is rotated among multiple Human Clan Venerables.

”Hmm, then let’s wait patiently.” Ren Jiang Venerable nodded.

At this moment, Wuyou Venerable sensed movement from the Communication Token and flipped his hand to take it out.

”There should be follow-up news.” Wuyou Venerable said.

A glow emanated from the Communication Token, gradually clarifying into a figure.

”Why is it Shi Tai?” Wuyou Venerable slightly frowned and murmured: ”Could it be that the Sky Demon Clan truly has some movement?”

The other Venerables also looked solemnly at Shi Tai’s image.

”Shi Tai, what’s going on? Any unusual actions by the Sky Demon Clan in the God Burying Domain?” Wuyou Venerable asked directly.

”Greetings, esteemed Venerables!” General Shi Tai’s image saluted the Venerables.

”The Sky Demon Clan has no unusual actions for now. However, there is a major event I need to report to the esteemed Venerables.” General Shi Tai continued.

”What is it?” Ren Jiang Venerable asked.

”Jing Yan God Emperor is not dead. Just now, he returned to Iron Wall Castle.” General Shi Tai said spiritedly.

”What?”

”Jing Yan isn’t dead?”

”How could this be? Over eight thousand years ago, it was Kujixie’s move using the Demon Artifact Death Hand that extracted Jing Yan from Iron Wall Castle. When I found Kujixie, Jing Yan had left no trace of himself?” Ren Jiang Venerable said in shock.

The other Venerables were also very surprised by Shi Tai’s words, looking at his image incredulously.

”Jing Yan God Emperor indeed isn’t dead. He mentioned it was due to good fortune, escaping death; Demon King Kujixie failed to kill him.” Shi Tai said.

”Where is Jing Yan now?” Wuyou Venerable asked, taking a deep breath.

”Jing Yan God Emperor has left Iron Wall Castle and headed for Sky Creation City.” Shi Tai promptly replied.

The projections of Venerables in the Heavenly Venerate Hall looked at each other. The news of Jing Yan not being dead struck them just as profoundly as hearing the news of Demon King Kujixie’s death. Although Jing Yan isn’t a Venerable, his potential is immense. Once he steps into the realm of Heavenly Venerate, he will surely become a pillar of the Human Clan.

In retrospect, Jing Yan’s death might have a far greater impact on the future of the Human Clan than the death of a regular Venerable.

Precisely because of this, the Sky Demon Clan didn’t hesitate to use the Demon Artifact Death Hand to assassinate Jing Yan years ago.

”Haha, it seems Jing Yan, young friend, truly is someone with great fortune, favored by the Heavenly Dao. I always said someone like him wouldn’t die so easily.” A Venerable laughed aloud and said.

The other Venerables all nodded.

”Brother Ren Jiang, do you think Kujixie’s death might be related to Jing Yan, young friend?” Wuyou Venerable suddenly thought of such a possibility.

The news of Kujixie’s death arrived, followed closely by Jing Yan not being dead. Could these two events merely be coincidence?

Recall, eight thousand years ago, it was Demon King Kujixie’s attempt to assassinate Jing Yan.

”Impossible, right? Though Jing Yan, young friend’s strength is indeed impressive, even if he survived and practiced for eight thousand years, it is unlikely he has reached the realm of Heavenly Venerate, right? Without becoming a Venerable, he couldn’t possibly be a match for Kujixie. Moreover, even if he truly became a Venerable, a newly ascended one couldn’t possibly kill Kujixie, right?” A Venerable shook his head, unable to believe.

After General Shi Tai passed the news of Jing Yan still being alive to the Venerables, his image disappeared. For martial artists at God Emperor Level, using Communication Tokens to send messages is highly costly, thus maintaining such communication only when necessary.

As confusion lingered in the minds of these Venerables in the Heavenly Venerate Hall, Wuyou Venerable’s Communication Token stirred once again.

This time, it was confirmed news from the Sky Demon Clan’s spy.

Demon King Kujixie is indeed dead, the news is completely accurate.

”Everyone!”

”It seems that Demon King Kujixie is indeed dead. Regardless of how he died, this is indeed great news for our Human Clan. Additionally, with the news of Jing Yan, young friend, still being alive, it’s undoubtedly Double Happiness!” Ren Jiang Venerable looked at the other Venerables and spoke with joy.

”Indeed! Kujixie’s death will greatly impact the Sky Demon Clan, leaving them with a severe depletion of Primordial Energy, unlikely to recover quickly.” The Venerable in the golden robe nodded in agreement.

”However, we still need to clarify the cause of Kujixie’s death. Whoever has the ability to kill Kujixie must not be an unknown figure in the universe. It’s likely a top strongman from a major clan acting personally. If so, we should do our utmost to find that person, perhaps collaborate.” Ren Jiang Venerable continued.

”Brother Ren Jiang’s reasoning makes sense.” Wuyou Venerable said.

”Hmm?” Wuyou Venerable’s gaze intensified as another light emanated from the Communication Token.

But this time, the message brought by the light made all seven Venerables there tremble, holding their breath.

”Demon King Kujixie was killed by Human Jing Yan, confirmed!” The message was succinct.

The Venerables were shocked! Then, each of their emotions was uncontrollably stirred.
