The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1838: Chapter 1838: Currying Favor

Yan Qing looked at Jing Yan, not daring to be presumptuous.

Jing Yan applied to become a Chaos Slayer; his realm was indeed at Earth Realm Peak Cultivation, but his ability to kill the Devouring Sky Clan’s Ju E certainly surpassed most Fifth Step Dao Method Realm experts.

Seeing Jing Yan inquire, Yan Qing immediately said, ”Mr. Jing Yan should know that Ju E is ranked ninth on Laning Country’s wanted list.”

”Hmm, I know this.” Jing Yan nodded.

He heard Gu Mie and others talk about this before.

The Laning Country wanted list contains various heinous beings, including but not limited to creatures of the Devouring Heaven Clan.

Actually, in Endless Chaos, not just Laning Country, but in many places, there are similar wanted lists. These lists often include powerful beings from the All Things Realm.

”Mr. Jing Yan, after slaying Ju E, can claim a substantial reward from Laning Country. Earlier, I already sent the relevant footage to the Area Main Hall Master of the Slaughter God Hall. The Hall Master also said he would pass this information to the King of Laning Country. However, Mr. Jing Yan needs to personally go to the imperial city of Laning Country to claim this reward,” Master Yan Qing said slowly.

In Endless Chaos, countless Chaos Continents have branches of the Slaughter God Hall established. Yan Qing is just a branch hall master on one continent.

Above Yan Qing is the Area Main Hall Master.

The Area Main Hall Master generally oversees all Slaughter God Hall branches in a country. Some exceptionally capable Area Main Hall Masters even control branches across multiple countries.

The Area Main Hall Master Yan Qing mentioned is responsible for all Slaughter God Halls in Laning Country, a strong presence from the All Things Realm, on equal footing with the King of Laning Country. In fact, one could say that the Area Main Hall Master can offend the King of Laning Country, but the King of Laning Country would not dare offend the Area Main Hall Master.

This is quite normal.

Laning Country, in Endless Chaos, is merely an ordinary nation, and there are many countries stronger than it. In the eyes of the entire Slaughter God Hall, Laning Country is indeed insignificant. The Slaughter God Hall is an institution jointly formed by five Ultimate Forces. In some measure, the Slaughter God Hall is the strongest. However, because it is controlled by five Ultimate Forces, it is difficult to be unified. Internal rivalry and conflict are relentless.

After hearing Master Yan Qing’s words, Jing Yan was somewhat surprised.

Jing Yan knew that after killing Ju E, he could claim a reward from Laning Country. But this reward seemed irrelevant to the Slaughter God Hall. Why did this Master Yan Qing bother to help?

”Master Yan Qing, I’m grateful for your assistance. But, I want to know, why are you helping me?” Jing Yan straightforwardly asked.

”Haha, I guessed Mr. Jing Yan would ask that.”

”Indeed, if it were someone else, I probably wouldn’t meddle or at least wouldn’t proactively offer this little help. However, earlier I saw the method Mr. Jing Yan used to slay Ju E. I recognized that method, the Hongmeng Dao Pattern!” Master Yan Qing chuckled.

Jing Yan looked at Yan Qing, waiting for him to continue.

”Hongmeng Dao Pattern, is a secret not publicly shared, created by Ancestor Hong Jun, a top-secret technique at Chaos Level. Within Hongjun Heavenly Palace, very few people have the qualification to train in it. I think Mr. Jing Yan must be out on a disciple mission from Hongjun Heavenly Palace. Only this possibility can explain Mr. Jing Yan’s feat of slaying Ju E with Earth Realm Peak Cultivation.” Master Yan Qing gazed at Jing Yan with fervor.

”Mr. Jing Yan might not know, but the Area Main Hall Master in charge of Laning Country is a member of Hongjun Heavenly Palace,” Master Yan Qing added.

Hearing this, Jing Yan suddenly understood everything.

The Area Main Hall Master responsible for Laning Country turned out to be a member of Hongjun Heavenly Palace. No wonder Master Yan Qing was willing to help, even somewhat eager to please.

To speak of it, Jing Yan’s Hongmeng Dao Pattern was personally taught by Ancestor Hong Jun, who could be considered half a master to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan is naturally counted as a member of Hongjun Heavenly Palace, and arguably a quite core member.

”In that case, many thanks to Master Yan Qing.” Jing Yan nodded.

”Mr. Jing Yan, no need to be polite; it’s my duty.” Yan Qing quickly replied.

Though Jing Yan did not directly acknowledge himself as a member of Hongjun Heavenly Palace, his current attitude was clear.

Yan Qing was indeed very eager to curry favor with Jing Yan.

Jing Yan is currently merely at Earth Realm Cultivation, yet can slay Ju E. In the future, his prospects are boundless. Even if Jing Yan is not a high-ranking member of Hongjun Heavenly Palace now, he is sure to have great potential. Building a rapport with Jing Yan now would only bring benefits.

The two exchanged a few casual words.

Afterward, Jing Yan said, ”Master Yan Qing, I currently have nearly twenty thousand Slaughter Points and want to exchange them for some needed resources. Can I redeem them here?”

”Of course!”

”Mr. Jing Yan can exchange for any resource available here, as long as it’s available. Of course, Mr. Jing Yan’s Slaughter Points need to be sufficient. Although I am the hall master of this branch, I can’t act recklessly, lest it leaves issues for me later.” Yan Qing nodded, speaking in a deep voice.

”Naturally.” Jing Yan smiled.

He never intended to take advantage. Nearly twenty thousand points should be enough to exchange for quite a few precious resources.

”Then let me take Mr. Jing Yan to the Treasure Vault. Although this is just a branch, there are still many precious resources here.” Yan Qing smiled.

Saying this, he led Jing Yan out of the inner hall.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat unusual.

”I’m doing this for your own good!” Gu Mie’s voice rang out.

”Before that distinguished person, you don’t qualify to speak more!” Gu Mie looked at Mu Ta.

Mu Ta seemed annoyed with Gu Mie’s obstruction.

Originally, he saw Luo Bing was quite attractive, so he wanted to get acquainted, but it wasn’t essential. However, Gu Mie’s obstruction made him feel embarrassed. In this hall, there were many Chaos Slayers; people need respect and dignity, he couldn’t let Gu Mie’s words scare him into silence.

”I must see who this distinguished person is!” Mu Ta said loudly.

A few Second Ring Slayers nearby, familiar with both Gu Mie and Mu Ta, tried to mediate, but Gu Mie remained steadfast.

”Hmph, I’m just inviting Daoist Luo Bing for a drink, what’s the harm?” Mu Ta glanced at Luo Bing, who was somewhat uneasy.

Confronted with this situation, Luo Bing truly didn’t know how to handle it.

”Gu Mie, what’s the matter with you today? You weren’t so strict before. Brother Mu Ta only wants to invite this lady for a drink,” a Second Ring Slayer frowned and said.
