The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1862: Chapter 1862: Taking the Initiative to Greet

After bidding farewell to Yuan Qi, Lord Jing Yan left the Emperor’s Palace of Lan Ning Country.

He was preparing to depart from Lan Ning Country.

Before going to the Emperor’s Palace, Jing Yan had already said goodbye to Senior Brother He Jiu, so there was no need to visit the Slaughter God Temple again.

Jing Yan flew towards the Super Transmission Array.

...

”Brother Ye Hai, it seems you haven’t taken on any slaughter tasks recently?”

A few beings were also flying slowly. One of them spoke up.

Ye Hai, who had previously taken on the slaughter task issued by Die Dong along with Jing Yan, was among them.

”What do you know! Brother Ye Hai is now wholeheartedly cultivating and will soon advance to the All Things Realm,” another person said with a smile.

”Advancing to the All Things Realm isn’t that easy! How long have we been stuck at the Fifth Step Dao Method Realm? Throughout the Lan Ning National Border, apart from special outsiders, only the King is a formidable All Things Realm expert,” the first person retorted.

”Indeed, it’s very difficult to advance to the All Things Realm. However, Brother Ye Hai’s talent far surpasses ours, so it’s not impossible for him to advance to the All Things Realm,” another person added.

”Enough! Can’t you all be quiet for a moment?” Ye Hai glared at them.

These individuals were all friends of Ye Hai and all held the status of Four-Ring Slayers. Ye Hai, until recently, was also a Four-Ring Slayer. It was only after submitting the Five-Ring Slaughter Task issued by Die Dong that he advanced to become a Five-Ring Slayer.

When Ye Hai spoke, the others all chuckled awkwardly.

”Brother Ye Hai, the Slaughter God Temple hasn’t released any Four-Ring Slaughter Tasks lately. We plan to take on a Three-Ring group task. Are you sure you don’t want to join us?” The person in the light yellow robe asked Ye Hai.

”I want to rest for a while longer,” Ye Hai shook his head.

Since submitting Die Dong’s task, Ye Hai hadn’t taken on any new slaughter tasks. Although it had been a long time since that mission, Ye Hai would occasionally think back to it. Every time he remembered that mission, he couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.

He wasn’t familiar with Jing Yan, and it was during that mission that they met for the first time. However, he always felt he should have done something more back then. Even if, in the end, he couldn’t save Jing Yan, at least now, he would have no regrets. But at that time, he was so scared by Die Dong, the Void Son, that he only thought about whether Die Dong would kill him and didn’t try to rescue Jing Yan.

He knew that with his strength, it was impossible to save Jing Yan, but the difference between not being able to save and not trying to save is significant.

Ye Hai’s friends were also aware of this matter. They all knew that after Ye Hai submitted that slaughter task, he directly advanced to become a Five-Ring Slayer and obtained one hundred thousand Points of Slaughter Points. For this achievement, they even made Ye Hai treat them to a big meal. Later, they also noticed that Ye Hai felt guilty towards the slayer named Jing Yan.

”Brother Ye Hai, you can’t be blamed for that incident. Faced with the Void Son of the Void Divine Hall, who could remain calm?” The light yellow robed slayer raised an eyebrow and comforted him.

”I know. You don’t need to worry about me; I’ll be fine,” Ye Hai said.

”Daoist Ye Hai!”

At this moment, Ye Hai and the others heard a voice. Then, they saw a figure rapidly approaching.

Hearing the voice, Ye Hai looked over and was fiercely shocked.

”Lord Jing Yan?” Ye Hai saw that the person flying over was none other than Jing Yan.

How is this possible?

Wasn’t Lord Jing Yan in the ruins, taken by those terrifying vines...

”Daoist Ye Hai, it’s been a long time,” Jing Yan greeted with a smile when he got closer.

Jing Yan hadn’t expected to encounter Ye Hai, someone he was acquainted with, just before leaving. It was indeed a coincidence. Jing Yan had no intention of blaming Ye Hai. In those circumstances, Ye Hai was helpless. Moreover, Ye Hai had repeatedly requested Die Dong to save Jing Yan.

If Ye Hai had been responsible for the events within the ruins, Senior Brother He Jiu would have already troubled Ye Hai, and Ye Hai wouldn’t have received one hundred thousand Points of Slaughter Points from the Slaughter God Hall.

”Lord Jing Yan, you’re... you’re not dead?” Ye Hai inhaled, exhaling as he spoke.

”If I were dead, how would I stand before you now?” Jing Yan, unbothered by Ye Hai’s somewhat disrespectful remark, replied with a smile.

”Is this the Lord Jing Yan?” Ye Hai’s friends, from the conversation between Jing Yan and Ye Hai, realized that this being who had just flown over was Jing Yan, who had once entered the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins with Ye Hai.

”Yes, I am Jing Yan,” Jing Yan nodded.

”Brother Ye Hai, you said Lord Jing Yan had perished in the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins.”

”Indeed... It’s been tens of thousands of years, and you’ve always felt guilty about it.”

”Isn’t Lord Jing Yan alive and well?” Several people remarked.

”Daoist Ye Hai, I’m heading towards the Super Transmission Array and happened to see you,” Jing Yan said.

”Lord Jing Yan, you’re planning to leave here?” Ye Hai raised his eyebrows and asked.

”Yes, I plan to leave Lan Ning Country,” Jing Yan nodded, cupping his hands, and said, ”Well then, I won’t disturb you all any longer. Farewell.”

Ye Hai and the others watched Jing Yan depart into the distance.

”Brother Ye Hai, didn’t you say this Lord Jing Yan is a member of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace? How come he seems so approachable?” one person asked with confusion.

Could a member of an Ultimate Force be this amiable?

Moreover, from Ye Hai’s words, they knew that although Jing Yan was in the Earth Realm, his strength was extremely formidable, not much different from the Void Son.

”Indeed, Lord Jing Yan is very amiable. When I took tasks with him before, he was like this,” Ye Hai said.

”Are you sure you weren’t deceived? It’s said that members of those Ultimate Forces are all incredibly aloof. For instance, the Void Son Die Dong, even our King wasn’t considered by him. And yet, this Lord Jing Yan, seeing you, took the initiative to greet you? If he truly were a member of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, just for actively greeting you, it would be worth bragging about for a long time,” one person said in an incredulous tone.

”How can people be the same? Lord Jing Yan never claimed to be a member of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace. The reason I guessed it was because I recognized the Hongmeng Dao Pattern. Lord Jing Yan mastered the Hongmeng Dao Pattern. In the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, as I heard, only a very few people have the opportunity to cultivate the Hongmeng Dao Pattern,” Ye Hai explained with wide eyes.

”Alright, alright, if you say so, it must be.”

”Let’s go, let’s head to the Slaughter God Temple and have a look.” The group started flying towards the Slaughter God Temple.

Jing Yan arrived at the Super Transmission Array, paid one hundred Star Stones, and teleported away. Within the Lan Ning Country domain, the general cost for teleportation was ten Star Stones. But teleporting out of the Lan Ning National Border caused the cost to surge tenfold, requiring one hundred Star Stones.

These Super Transmission Arrays were controlled by the Void Divine Hall, and the revenue from teleportation fees alone was an astonishingly enormous figure.
