The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1466: Chapter 1466: Purging the Sect

Kunlong causing trouble at the Wanbao Assembly was already within Jing Yan’s expectations. It can be said that the development of events like this was exactly as Jing Yan had envisioned in his mind.

From the moment he knew that Kunlong, the Mountain Master, was colluding with the Wanbao Divine Hall, Jing Yan had a killing intent towards Kunlong. Such a traitor deserved to die, and with Kunlong being so brazen, paying no heed to the Holy Master, if Jing Yan didn’t take action, what authority would he have left as the Saint Master of All Paths Sacred Land in the future?

He wanted to recruit strong loose cultivators into All Paths Sacred Land. If people saw that you, the Saint Master, were so weak and cowardly, what future would they have staying with you? How could they possibly be willing to serve you?

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, Kunlong was initially stunned, then a twisted grin spread across his face.

This Jing Yan wants to make a move?

Thinking that because he is at the All Paths Spirit Mountain, in his home territory, he can kill me, Kunlong? Does he mistake me for Zhang He, that Emperor God Master?

Kunlong sneered at Jing Yan and said, ”Arrogant words! I’m courting death? Haha, even if I’m courting death, what could you possibly do, Jing Yan? Do you intend to kill me? Even if you do, could you kill me? Are you relying on the fact that All Paths Spirit Mountain is your home turf? It’s truly laughable; if I, Kunlong, were afraid of you, I wouldn’t have come to All Paths Spirit Mountain in the first place!”

Kunlong’s wild laughter echoed across All Paths Square. He didn’t worry at all. In his view, even if Jing Yan had the assistance of the formations of All Paths Spirit Mountain, there was no dreaming of killing him; at most, Jing Yan could suppress him.

And if Jing Yan really made a move, Kunlong had already made up his mind to wage war on All Paths Spirit Mountain.

He had indeed betrayed All Paths Sacred Land.

Kunlong had begun reaching out to Wanbao Divine Hall long ago. He believed that the glory of All Paths Sacred Land was a thing of the past, and continuing to stay there offered him no benefit; he would only be slowly devoured by Wanbao Divine Hall. Therefore, he wanted to find a way out for himself; the best choice, of course, was Wanbao Divine Hall.

He could help Wanbao Divine Hall annihilate All Paths Sacred Land, and then seek a foothold for himself within Wanbao Divine Hall. Perhaps, he could become a Pavilion Master of Wanbao Divine Hall.

He had a way out, so he wasn’t afraid of going to war with All Paths Spirit Mountain.

Of course, he also didn’t think Jing Yan would really dare to act against him.

”Since you wish to die, I will fulfill that wish!” Jing Yan’s aura surged, and around his body, the law patterns turned into an ocean.

”I’d like to see how you fulfill it!” Kunlong showed no weakness at all, summoning the divine power of his Divine Sea to confront Jing Yan.

”Holy Master!” Ruo Bing Supreme Elder spoke out, stepping forward from the crowd and giving Jing Yan a slight bow.

He looked at Kunlong and said, ”Mountain Master Kunlong, how about letting this old man spar with you a bit?”

Ruo Bing Supreme Elder was the only Divine Sovereign level expert in All Paths Spirit Mountain before Jing Yan’s arrival.

Ruo Bing stepping forward was after careful consideration. Including Ruo Bing, none of the elders of All Paths Spirit Mountain understood why Jing Yan wanted to make a move against Kunlong at the Wanbao Assembly. However, they would not question Jing Yan’s decision.

So, nobody asked Jing Yan why he had done so.

However, Ruo Bing Supreme Elder couldn’t help but stand up. Jing Yan’s identity was that of the Saint Master of All Paths Sacred Land, while Kunlong was just the Mountain Master of Northern Branch Spirit Mountain. Ruo Bing Supreme Elder didn’t believe Jing Yan’s strength was insufficient, nor did he believe that Jing Yan would be defeated by Kunlong. However, Ruo Bing felt that Jing Yan Saint Master defeating Kunlong was equally unrealistic.

Since he couldn’t defeat Kunlong, this confrontation would have no positive significance, only having a negative impact on All Paths Spirit Mountain.

Therefore, if Ruo Bing steps forward to confront Kunlong, even if the end result is a tie, it wouldn’t have much of an impact.

Everyone present was extremely intelligent. When Ruo Bing stepped forward to face Kunlong, everyone immediately understood the intention of Ruo Bing, the Supreme Elder of All Paths Spirit Mountain, and subconsciously nodded in approval.

In their eyes, Ruo Bing Supreme Elder was trying to cover for Jing Yan, an unrecognized Saint Master.

Kunlong’s eyes shifted.

”What? Jing Yan, weren’t you so fierce just now? Didn’t you want to kill me, Kunlong? Now, you want Elder Ruo Bing to fight me instead? Jing Yan, are you afraid? Afraid you’re not my match? Does such a cowardly person deserve to be a Saint Master? Pathetic!” Kunlong shouted loudly.

Jing Yan calmly looked at Ruo Bing Supreme Elder.

Jing Yan, of course, understood the intention of Elder Ruo Bing standing out. However, he had no intention of letting Ruo Bing replace him in the battle. He wanted to kill Kunlong to establish his authority, and it was clear that though Ruo Bing, as a Divine Sovereign, might have difficulty killing Kunlong, another Divine Sovereign, directly.

”Elder Ruo Bing, please step back. I shall deal with this person myself.” Jing Yan smiled and said to Ruo Bing Supreme Elder.

Ruo Bing’s expression changed, looking at Jing Yan with a puzzled expression.

He had a feeling that Jing Yan wasn’t acting out of an uncontrollable anger towards Kunlong. Yet, just what was Jing Yan Saint Master thinking? Could he have other plans?

Ruo Bing Supreme Elder nodded in confusion and said, ”Yes!”

Seeing Jing Yan successfully provoked, Kunlong laughed triumphantly.

”Jing Yan, do you dare to shut down the big formation of All Paths Spirit Mountain?” Kunlong continued.

The big formation of All Paths Spirit Mountain was immensely powerful. If Jing Yan used the big formation’s power, Kunlong thought there was an eighty percent chance he’d be suppressed.

”The big formation will not be shut down.” Jing Yan shook his head.

There weren’t many Martial Artists present today, but Jing Yan couldn’t guarantee that there weren’t spies from Wanbao Divine Hall among them. If the big formation was shut down and the spies suddenly acted, it would be troublesome. The formation of All Paths Spirit Mountain must always stay operational.

”However, I know what you fear, and you can rest assured, I will not use the formation of All Paths Spirit Mountain against you.” Jing Yan shifted his tone.

This statement was also meant for everyone present.

”Haha, easy for you to say.” Kunlong clearly didn’t believe it.

”If you don’t believe it, it’s easy to resolve. The two of us can battle in the high air, outside the coverage range of the formation. This way, the big formation of All Paths Spirit Mountain will pose no threat to you.” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed as he spoke.

”Oh?” Kunlong was slightly stunned.

He truly didn’t expect that Jing Yan would really not intend to use the big formation of All Paths Spirit Mountain against him. When he asked Jing Yan to shut down the formation, it was just a passing remark. He knew that the big formation of All Paths Spirit Mountain couldn’t be shut down. But when Jing Yan said to leave the range of the formation to battle, it was unexpected for him.

Could it be that this Jing Yan was really that confident?

His eyes turned, and he stopped overthinking. After all, avoiding the threat of the big formation of All Paths Spirit Mountain was a good thing for him and not a bad one, so why think so much!

”Dear Daoists, I really apologize. Today, I need to clean house, so I might take up a bit of your time. But, don’t worry, it won’t take too long.” Jing Yan said apologetically, cupping his hands to the surroundings.
