The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2331: Chapter 2331: Immortal Venerable Jing Yan?

At the headquarters of Mystic Moon Trading House, Elder Kuo Lian and others felt heavy-hearted.

A great storm is brewing in Faro Heaven!

This Heavenly Domain has been calm for a very long time. Although there has been friction and conflict between some powers within the Heavenly Domain over the long river of years, the scale has been very small. The fall of Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm cultivators is rare. However, in the past tens of thousands of years, the fluctuations in this Heavenly Domain have rapidly intensified.

Not to mention the Immortal Rhythm Cultivators, even Immortal Venerable Realm experts have fallen more than once in these tens of thousands of years.

Now, Jing Yan has killed the Min Lan Immortal Venerable, who had a special status.

Jing Yan killed Min Lan Immortal Venerable with one sword strike. Although Kuo Lian and the others did not witness it in person, the intelligence personnel of Mystic Moon Trading House in Huatong City detailed the incident, leaving almost no room for error. This means that Jing Yan’s strength has reached a level that Kuo Lian and others can only look up to.

If it were a one-on-one duel, Kuo Lian and others believe that even Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable might not be able to kill Jing Yan as he is now. The problem is, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s connections are terrifying. Why did Wu Guo Heavenly Lord compromise and give way to Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable? At that time, it was a disgraceful thing for Wu Guo Heavenly Lord to back down, but he still compromised. It’s not because he is cowardly, but because he had to yield.

In Faro Heaven, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable is one of the most influential Immortal Venerables. Even the foundation of Wu Guo Heavenly Lord in the Heavenly Domain cannot compete with Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable. It can be said that if Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable is determined to overthrow Wu Guo Heavenly Lord at any cost, it is highly possible to achieve it. Many of the Immortal Venerables under Wu Guo Heavenly Lord are considered to be on Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s side.

How can Jing Yan, alone, contend with Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable?

”Elder Kuo Lian, from what we have gathered, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan has already crossed from the Immortal Rhythm level into the Immortal Venerable Realm,” Elder Ming Hua said.

”Indeed, it is the cultivation of the Immortal Venerable Realm. Many in Huatong City have sensed it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill Min Lan Immortal Venerable with a single sword stroke,” Elder Kuo Lian nodded in agreement.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan should have broken through the realm shackles in Nightmare City. It’s surprising that he crossed that abyss-like shackle in just over ten thousand years,” an elder exclaimed in astonishment.

”I heard that Fellow Daoist Jing Yan went to Nightmare City for the soul technique. It’s likely that he has already obtained the soul technique books since he’s back in Faro Heaven so soon,” someone commented.

”The soul technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Even for Jing Yan, mastering the soul technique would be challenging. However, if he masters it, his combat power will soar once again,” Elder Yu Hui added.

Elder Yu Hui’s injuries have mostly healed during this time.

”Everyone, let’s discuss how our Mystic Moon Trading House should proceed. Should we enter this perilous vortex?” Kuo Lian scrutinized the people present.

”If we intervene, it could bring a catastrophic disaster to Mystic Moon Trading House,” an elder exhaled and said.

”The risk is indeed great, but it could also be an opportunity. If Fellow Daoist Jing Yan emerges victorious in the end, and we fully support him, then Fellow Daoist Jing Yan will surely not forget us. Our interactions have shown that Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is not someone who burns bridges after crossing them,” Elder Ming Hua said.

Elder Ming Hua’s words indicate his inclination to fully support Jing Yan.

”Alas, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan... the enemies are truly too numerous. Also, we don’t know what stance Wu Guo Heavenly Lord holds. If Wu Guo Heavenly Lord does not fully support Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, he may not be able to hold on,” an elder shook his head and said.

Jing Yan’s enemies now, each more formidable, each more terrifying than the last.

The Slaughter God Hall is a superpower equivalent to Mystic Moon Trading House, with much deeper foundations. Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable is one of the oldest Immortal Venerables in the Heavenly Domain, with connections even Mystic Moon Trading House cannot fathom. There’s also the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect. Previously, Wuxia Immortal Venerable was taken by the Slaughter God Hall, and there’s a shadow of Heavenly Gate Dao Sect. It’s uncertain if Heavenly Gate Dao Sect will continue to target Jing Yan.

Against these formidable forces, Mystic Moon Trading House doesn’t have any confidence.

”Let’s wait and see! Our Mystic Moon Trading House has grown step by step from weakness to one of the largest forces in the Heavenly Domain, always being very cautious. In this matter, we should treat it cautiously and observe how the situation develops,” Elder Kuo Lian sighed lightly and finally said.

Deep down, Kuo Lian wants to help Jing Yan.

However, he cannot risk the entire Mystic Moon Trading House. The situation is chaotic now, like a muddy water; entering rashly is indeed too risky.

The other elders also said nothing more. The matter is of great importance, and no one present had the courage to propose that Mystic Moon Trading House directly intervene on Jing Yan’s side.

At Wu Guo Heavenly Lord’s Residence.

Wu Guo Heavenly Lord learned from Elder Kuo Lian’s communication that Jing Yan had returned to Faro Heaven from Nightmare City. After returning, Jing Yan directly went to Huatong City to seek revenge on Min Lan Immortal Venerable, which kept Wu Guo Heavenly Lord frowning.

After pondering for a moment, he made a decision and sent a communication to Xima Immortal Venerable in Huatong City.

No matter what Xima Immortal Venerable thinks, at least nominally, he is still under Wu Guo Heavenly Lord’s command. Wu Guo Heavenly Lord believes that if he clearly instructs Xima Immortal Venerable to show leniency towards Jing Yan, Xima Immortal Venerable should not openly defy him.

”Hmm?” Just as Wu Guo Heavenly Lord was about to send the communication to Xima Immortal Venerable, a Divine Thought appeared in the communication magical treasure.

”Is it Xima Immortal Venerable?” Wu Guo Heavenly Lord was rather surprised.

Xima Immortal Venerable’s initiative to communicate with him was indeed unexpected. Wu Guo Heavenly Lord thought, if Xima Immortal Venerable wanted to take action against Jing Yan, he would not seek his approval first. Even after killing Jing Yan, he might not inform him.

But now, an Immortal Venerable below has sent a communication.

”Lord Heavenly Master,” Xima Immortal Venerable’s voice came through.

”Does Xima Immortal Venerable have something to report?” Wu Guo Heavenly Lord’s voice was calm, as he didn’t know what Xima Immortal Venerable wanted to communicate, so he chose to advance by retreating.

”Lord Heavenly Master, I have something to report.”

”Just now, Immortal Venerable Jing Yan suddenly arrived in Huatong City. Lord, you know I have always lived in Huatong City,” Xima Immortal Venerable’s voice was peculiar.

”Jing Yan did not come to Huatong City to find me, but to find Min Lan Immortal Venerable. He seems to have a deep enmity with Min Lan Immortal Venerable. After a brief exchange in Huatong City, Jing Yan Immortal Venerable attacked Min Lan Immortal Venerable,” Xima Immortal Venerable continued, his voice growing stranger.

”Wait...” Wu Guo Heavenly Lord suddenly realized.

”Xima Immortal Venerable, what did you say? Immortal Venerable Jing Yan?” After Xima Immortal Venerable mentioned Immortal Venerable Jing Yan twice, Wu Guo Heavenly Lord finally noticed the title.
