The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2506: Chapter 2506: Unstoppable

The sword light shattered Sima Rongjie’s defense, piercing through his forehead before gradually dissipating.

Master Yue Ruyi saw City Lord Jing Yan make a move and intended to speak out to dissuade him, but before he could finish, he watched the sword light pierce through Sima Rongjie’s head, making further words unnecessary.

Sima Rongjie’s vitality quickly dissipated, the Immortal Venerable Level Magical Treasure in his hand fell to the ground, and then his body collapsed.

After killing Sima Rongjie, Jing Yan did not stop immediately. He pointed three times in front of him in an instant. Three clear finger seals appeared, rapidly striking towards Wu Ling, Chai Chong, and Nie Quan from Jade Flame Business Association.

These three were even weaker in strength.

The three had yet to recover from the shock of Sima Rongjie’s killing when their bodies were hit by the finger seals. Containing Ancient Tree Inheritance Power and the power of Dao Rules mastered by Jing Yan, they were instantly obliterated.

The cultivators who came along with Sima Rongjie numbered about fifty. In the blink of an eye, the strongest ones were obliterated by Jing Yan with overwhelming might. The remaining people, their bodies trembled like a sieve. These individuals were normally quite distinguished, either leaders of an influence or important members, almost all at Immortal Venerable Level. In the Heavenly Domain, anyone at the Immortal Venerate Realm can absolutely be considered strong. But now, they were no different from ants.

”The rest of you, listen carefully.”

”This time you followed Sima Rongjie to Hongmeng City to stir trouble. I’ll believe you were tricked by these few, so I can spare you a dog’s life. However, the blame cannot be avoided. You now each need to compensate Hongmeng City five billion Black Crystal Stones. If you can’t provide the compensation, you will remain forever in Hongmeng City’s dungeons!” Jing Yan looked at the remaining forty-some cultivators.

The people were slightly relieved to hear City Lord Jing Yan say he would spare their lives, but when they heard they had to compensate five billion Black Crystal Stones, their hearts naturally conflicted.

Actually, five billion Black Crystal Stones could still be gathered if they gritted their teeth, as they were not ordinary people. But if possible, they surely wouldn’t want to compensate Hongmeng City with so many Black Crystal Stones.

”City Lord Jing Yan, isn’t five billion Black Crystal Stones too much? Could it be...” a cultivator instinctively tried to negotiate with Jing Yan.

”Die!” Jing Yan shouted lowly as he pointed a finger at the cultivator who instantly died on the spot.

From then on, nobody dared to bargain anymore.

In essence, they were lucky to save their lives.

They followed Sima Rongjie, Chai Chong, and others to Hongmeng City to threaten and oppress, and should have been prepared to be held accountable. The reason was not on their side.

”Shi Tianshuo, come to collect the compensation. Five billion per person, if there’s insufficient Black Crystal Stones, deduct with other resources.” Jing Yan summoned Shi Tianshuo, the Head Captain of the City Guard.

”Master Ru, why don’t we take a rest at the City Lord Mansion?” Jing Yan turned to look at Ru Yueyi and smiled.

”Alright!” Ru Yueyi looked at Jing Yan, not knowing what more to say.

Ru Yueyi didn’t agree with Jing Yan’s ruthless actions in his heart. Yet, as an outsider, it wasn’t for him to say much. Moreover, this incident was indeed instigated by Sima Rongjie and others initially; even should the Sima Family be furious and seek revenge, there was no suitable reason.

Of course, in this world, many things don’t need a reason, nor does one need to occupy reason. The problem is, Hongmeng City’s City Lord Jing Yan is clearly not someone easy to deal with. Trying to squeeze City Lord Jing Yan is not an easy task.

...

Tianji City!

The City Lord of Tianji City received the news almost simultaneously with Jing Yan’s slaying of Sima Rongjie. He was stunned in his spacious room for a long time.

He is a member of the superpower, Tianbei Sect.

Not long ago, he had sent a message to Tianbei Sect’s headquarters reporting the continuous flow of cultivators from Tianji City to Hongmeng City, hoping the sect headquarters would take action. However, the higher-ups of the sect told him to watch how things unfolded, stating then that someone would suppress Hongmeng City. Later, when Sima Rongjie took a group to Hongmeng City, he understood what the higher-up meant.

But now...

Suppress? Clearly impossible!

Even Sima Rongjie was directly eliminated, along with Chai Chong of Eight Gods Pill Sect, Wu Ling of Tianyin Building, and Nie Quan of Jade Flame Business Association.

That City Lord Jing Yan is truly ruthless!

The news from Hongmeng City is terrifying!

”My lord!” Tianji City Lord collected his thoughts and sent another message to the sect headquarters.

”What’s the matter?” A big shot from headquarters responded shortly.

”Not long ago, the City Lord of Dingyun City, Sima Rongjie, and others arrived in Hongmeng City, intending to prove that Hongmeng Cultivation Tower is not a Heavenly Level Cultivation Tower,” Tianji City Lord said.

”Oh, they moved quickly!” The big shot of Tianbei Sect chuckled.

”Elder, it is indeed a Heavenly Level Cultivation Tower, determined personally by Master Ru Yueyi. Master Ru Yueyi also said that Hongmeng Cultivation Tower is the best Heavenly Level Cultivation Tower in the entire Heavenly Domain.”

”After Master Ru Yueyi determined the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower as a Heavenly Level Cultivation Tower, City Lord Jing Yan immediately acted, killing Sima Rongjie of the Sima Family, Chai Chong of Eight Gods Pill Sect, Wu Ling of Tianyin Building, and Nie Quan from Jade Flame Business Association. This Nie Quan was previously the manager of Hongmeng City’s Jade Flame Treasure Light and was later expelled from Hongmeng City.”

”My lord, this Jing Yan is a madman.” Tianji City Lord, even now, cannot accept the recent news.

The big shot of Tianbei Sect might also have been startled.

After Tianji City Lord finished speaking, there was a prolonged silence without response.

After an indefinite period, he finally sent a message: ”Hongmeng Cultivation Tower, Heavenly Level Cultivation Tower?”

”Yes, determined personally by Master Ru Yueyi. Senior Ru would never lie for Hongmeng City.” Tianji City Lord responded.

”Understood!”

”This Hongmeng City, in thousands of years, no one might be able to stop its growth and expansion! You, immediately send people to Hongmeng City to buy real estate, as much as possible!” The big shot of Tianbei Sect issued such an order to Tianji City Lord.

”Yes!” Tianji City Lord certainly knows why to purchase real estate in Hongmeng City.

It is evident that after Hongmeng Cultivation Tower received personal verification from Master Ru Yueyi, no one will doubt it again. Moreover, Master Ru even said it is the best Cultivation Tower in the Heavenly Domain. What will happen next? No need to think. There will definitely be a tidal wave of cultivators pouring into Hongmeng City. The real estate prices of Hongmeng City will soar, multiplying several times is normal.

Not only did Tianbei Sect react, but other major powers also rapidly issued orders to massively purchase properties in Hongmeng City.
