The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2459: Chapter 2459: Great Executor

Only a very few people qualified to cultivate the Thunder Origin Immortal Skill, are the primary targets for enemy extermination. From the start of the war, they were plunged into all kinds of slaughter, with almost none surviving the war.

Especially those who obtained the complete Thunder Origin Immortal Skill, were targets the enemy would never let go under any circumstances.

Now it seems, Jing Yan might be the only cultivator in the Thunder Domain who is still alive and has cultivated the Thunder Origin. Based on this, Luo Hao and his companion immediately referred to Jing Yan as the Young Master. Naturally, Jing Yan’s identity would be recognized by the other Thunder Domain personnel.

Those who still considered themselves members of the Thunder Domain would certainly have no issues with loyalty. That loyalty to the Thunder Domain means they would not deny Jing Yan’s identity and status in the Thunder Domain.

”What has been taken from us, we will eventually reclaim bit by bit.”

”These forces, all their people must get out of the Thunder Domain. Everything they have taken from the Thunder Domain must be given back,” Jing Yan said firmly.

Luo Hao and Peng Qiuping were both very excited.

”However, now is not the time,” Jing Yan continued, ”My relationship with the Thunder Domain cannot be disclosed yet. Hongmeng City is still very weak at this moment, unable to outright resist the attacks of too many enemies. Therefore, you must keep this matter secret.”

”Rest assured, Young Master, we understand,” Luo Hao nodded repeatedly.

Having personally witnessed the decline of the Thunder Domain from its glorious days, Luo Hao deeply comprehends the cruelty of war. Even if Jing Yan did not want to hide his identity, he would persuade the Young Master Jing Yan to not reveal that he cultivated the Thunder Origin. Once exposed, it would inevitably lead to a barrage of attacks from countless enemies.

Moreover, when Young Master Jing Yan killed the Red-Clothed Killing Star from Yama Palace, he did not use the Thunder Light Shining technique, clearly not wishing to reveal his identity.

”Luo Hao, are our enemies in the Thunder Domain relentlessly pursuing the remaining Thunder Domain personnel?” Jing Yan asked again.

Luo Hao pondered and said, ”For a long period after the war, the enemies relentlessly hunted us remaining Thunder Domain remnants, but now, only Yama Palace is particularly concerned about us. For most of our enemies, we are no longer a significant threat.”

”That’s good!” Jing Yan nodded.

”Here’s what we’ll do: you return to the gathering place, clarify the matters regarding Hongmeng City and my identity with the others, and bring them all to Hongmeng City,” Jing Yan said.

Just now, Luo Hao mentioned that there were over two hundred Thunder Domain remnants at their gathering place, not a large number. Even if they all came to Hongmeng City, it would not attract too much attention. Hongmeng City now has a resident population, along with a transient population, numbering over a million, so a couple of hundred new faces are really nothing significant. Besides, even if the spies detect them, Jing Yan wouldn’t be overly concerned; the only force currently relentlessly pursuing Thunder Domain remnants is Yama Palace. Facing just this one force, Jing Yan would be willing to cross swords with them.

”Alright, we will return to the gathering place immediately and bring everyone to Hongmeng City. By the way, Young Master, we have been safeguarding some things; these things are currently in the custody of the Great Executor. When the Great Executor arrives in Hongmeng City, he will personally deliver these Thunder Domain treasures to you,” Luo Hao nodded and said.

”What kind of things?” Jing Yan asked curiously.

”Some inheritance treasures, I can’t describe them clearly; anyway, they are very important to our Thunder Domain. When our Thunder Domain headquarters was destroyed back then, we could only hastily withdraw with a few of the most crucial items. As time went on, many items were lost, but the Great Executor still retains several of the most vital treasures. I only know that they are crucial to rebuilding the Thunder Domain, allegedly left behind by Immortal Emperor,” Luo Hao said.

The Great Executor was formerly a position within the Thunder Domain, a role with nearly upper echelon status. Of course, there was still a considerable gap compared to the elder level. During that war, almost all the elders of the Thunder Domain perished, so for members of the Great Executor level to survive was considered very fortunate.

”Understood,” Jing Yan nodded.

Next, Jing Yan discreetly sent Luo Hao and Peng Qiuping out of Hongmeng City, and the two of them entered the Red Victory Secret Land as fast as possible. They did not take the main roads; no one could guarantee if there would be enemy interceptors on the main roads. Jing Yan did not need to worry about how they would return to the gathering place; Luo Hao and Peng Qiuping were highly experienced, and upon entering the Red Victory Secret Land, they knew well how to avoid detection.

About twenty days later, Luo Hao and Peng Qiuping returned to Hongmeng City once again, this time accompanied by only a dozen Thunder Domain cultivators.

The Thunder Domain remnants purposely entered Hongmeng City in batches; if over two hundred people entered Hongmeng City simultaneously, the risk of exposure would be much higher. By entering the city a dozen at a time, it became much more discreet; even if there were spies, they might not discern their identities. Spies from various forces typically do not have very high abilities.

The reason is simple: if a cultivator in the Immortal Venerable realm enters Hongmeng City, Jing Yan, as the City Lord, would certainly take notice. For a spy to be effective, they must conceal their identity, which requires their skills to be not so strong; ordinary Immortal Rhythm level cultivation is most suitable. And due to their lower abilities, they would find it very difficult to detect traces of Thunder Domain remnants.

Great Executor Bai Han was among the first batch of cultivators to enter Hongmeng City.

Luo Hao brought Bai Han before Jing Yan.

”Greetings, Young Master!” Bai Han, upon seeing Jing Yan, knelt down with the same reverence Luo Hao and Peng Qiuping had when they first learned of Jing Yan’s identity.

Bai Han is quite old; his realm is the same as Luo Hao’s, at the Immortal Venerate Peak Realm. However, due to a lack of affinity with Dao Skill, Bai Han did not cultivate the Thunder Origin Immortal Skill back in the day, having a sluggish affinity for the Thunder Attribute Law, making it nearly impossible for him to master such Immortal Techniques as Thunder Light Shining, and even other Thunder Attribute Dao Techniques at the Immortal Venerable level were challenging for him to cultivate.

”Young Master, this is Executor Bai Han,” Luo Hao said beside Bai Han.

”Please stand up!” Jing Yan quickly walked over to Bai Han’s side and extended his hand to help him up.

”Young Master... I... I thought I wouldn’t live to see this day. Our Thunder Domain, our Thunder Domain has hope. In the gathering place, when I heard Luo Hao talk about the Young Master, I could hardly believe it was true,” Bai Han said somewhat incoherently.

He did not doubt Luo Hao’s words; it could be said that among the people in the gathering place, Luo Hao was one of the least likely to betray the Thunder Domain. Luo Hao’s claim that the City Lord of Hongmeng was the Young Master was certainly unquestionable.

”Alas, my apologies for your hardship,” Jing Yan sighed softly.

”Young Master, we have no reason to feel aggrieved. All these years, we have been waiting for this day every moment. Now the Young Master is here, and our Thunder Domain will once again flourish!” Bai Han looked at Jing Yan with fiery eyes.

He had already learned from Luo Hao that the Young Master Jing Yan single-handedly had five Red-Clothed Killing Stars running scared; among them, only one managed to escape Hongmeng City by luck.
