The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2194: Chapter 2194: Protect Jing Yan

In the territory managed by Yuantong Immortal Venerable, whether it is the Xin Family, the Ancient Land of Morning Light, or the Shadow Tower, although they need not fear the Mystic Moon Trading House within the territory, they would certainly not unduly offend the Mystic Moon Trading House either.

The local Business Building is not stronger than the forces like the Xin Family, but behind the local Mystic Moon Trading House, there is a colossal entity with influence across the Nine Days of Immortal Domain. If it really moves, even someone like Yuantong Immortal Venerable would have to yield. From the earlier incident where Elder Kuo Lian of the Mystic Moon Trading House sent a communication to Yuantong Immortal Venerable allowing Cao Zhiqun to participate in the competition, one could see how formidable the Mystic Moon Trading House’s energy is.

“Elder Shao Yu is right.” Elder Xin Rui Kun of the Xin Family nodded and transmitted his voice.

Shao Yu is also an elder of the Xin Family, but he is not a member of the Xin Family’s main clan.

For a power like the Xin Family to stand firm in the Immortal Domain, they must attract external strong individuals. Relying solely on the clan’s offspring, even if they could temporarily flourish, they cannot maintain it long-term. Not only powers like the Xin Family but even in the regions of the Blue Rain Divine Continent, leadership family clans must rely on recruiting guests to support themselves.

“Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s strength is actually above Lu Chun?”

“It’s absurd! Truly absurd!”

“No wonder he was so powerful in the Netherworld Points competition. Whichever force he represented would win a moving spot!”

“Now it seems he didn’t even use his full strength in the Netherworld Points competition. Otherwise, he should have gained more Netherworld Points.”

“Is he really in the Nether Sky Realm?”

The two Body Refining Practitioners from the Ancient Land of Morning Light also had their eyes fixed on Jing Yan, who was battling with Lu Chun.

“Why is Fellow Daoist Jing Yan fighting with Lu Chun?” a cultivator from the Ancient Land of Morning Light asked, turning his gaze towards the two elders of the Xin Family.

The elders of the Xin Family had arrived at this place slightly earlier than they did.

“We also came because we sensed the energy fluctuations. I think it might be that Fellow Daoist Jing Yan offended the Mystic Moon Trading House outside, so Lu Chun wants to harm Fellow Daoist Jing Yan here.” Elder Xin Rui Kun shook his head and speculated.

“The two Daoists of the Shadow Tower arrived even earlier than us.” Elder Shao Yu looked at Hong Tao and Ke Zun from the Shadow Tower on the other side.

The people from the Ancient Land of Morning Light also looked across.

Ke Zun and Hong Tao exchanged a glance.

Then Ke Zun said, “Do you see that trench below?”

Ke Zun pointed to the huge trench on the ground and addressed those present.

Everyone nodded, such a large trench was undoubtedly noticeable. Judging by the marks, it should be newly formed. They had noticed the trench on the ground when they arrived, but did not give it much thought, only assuming it was damage caused by Jing Yan and Lu Chun’s fight.

“In this trench, not long ago, Elder Lu Chun of the Mystic Moon Trading House and I discovered a Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein.” Ke Zun chuckled meaningfully.

“What?”

“Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein?”

“Where?” The cultivators from the Ancient Land of Morning Light and the Xin Family both had a change of expression, their eyes fixed on the trench, and their divine thoughts rapidly covered it.

“The Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein has, of course, already been taken up. However, what we took was just a small Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein; Elder Lu Chun and I split it in half.” Ke Zun said.

Just a small vein!

“Ke Zun, Daoist, what good fortune you have!” Xin Rui snorted with a smile.

“To find a Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein just a few months after entering the Yellow Spring Cave. Tsk tsk…” The people from the Ancient Land of Morning Light also gazed at Ke Zun with burning eyes.

Though it was only a small vein and shared between two people, it was enough to be envied.

“The small vein Elder Lu Chun and I acquired is insignificant; beneath this small vein, there is a large Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein. No need to look at me like that; Fellow Jing Yan took it. That’s why Elder Lu Chun is fighting with Jing Yan.” Ke Zun said in a low tone.

Shao Yu and the others, upon hearing this, all widened their eyes.

A large Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein? Taken by Fellow Daoist Jing Yan?

Ke Zun’s words carried a particular tone, indicating his discontent with Jing Yan taking the large Crystal Stone Vein. Thus, he said Jing Yan took the large Crystal Stone Vein but did not say it was Jing Yan who discovered it.

The small Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein was indeed discovered by him and Lu Chun, to be precise, it was entirely by Lu Chun’s remarkable luck that it was blasted out. But neither of them found the hidden large Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein beneath.

Strictly speaking, Jing Yan taking the large vein alone is not unreasonable.

The resources inside the Yellow Spring Cave do not belong to anyone; naturally, they are taken by whoever discovers them.

“Ke Zun Daoist, are you telling the truth?” someone from the Ancient Land of Morning Light asked gravely.

“Is there any doubt? I witnessed it with my own eyes, absolutely true. Haha, you don’t think I would lie to you, do you? What purpose would that serve?” Ke Zun chuckled in disdain.

…

“Clan Leader! Clan Leader!” Xin Rui Kun quietly took out the Communication Magical Treasure.

Outside the Yellow Spring Cave, in the palace where the Xin Family resided, Clan Chief Xin Si took out the Communication Magical Treasure.

“It’s Elder Xin Rui Kun who sent me a message. I wonder what he has gained inside the cave.” Clan Chief Xin Si smiled and said to the Xin Family members present.

“Elder Rui Kun, what’s the matter?” Xin Si then sent a message in response.

“Clan Leader, there’s something I must report to you.” Xin Rui Kun’s voice was somewhat trembling.

Clan Chief Xin Si and everyone present in the Xin Family could hear it; they could even sense Xin Rui Kun’s heavy breathing through the Communication Magical Treasure.

Hearing Xin Rui Kun’s words, Clan Chief Xin Si’s face changed slightly.

He thought Xin Rui Kun might have encountered some trouble inside the Yellow Spring Cave.

“What’s the situation?” Xin Si immediately stood up and asked through the Communication Magical Treasure.

“It’s Fellow Daoist Jing Yan! Fellow Daoist Jing Yan…has taken a large Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein here.” Xin Rui Kun’s voice came through again.

“Hmm?” Xin Si’s body trembled slightly.

All the Xin Family members present stood up. Each of them showed a look of shock in their eyes.

Indeed, there are Netherworld Crystal Stone Veins inside the Yellow Spring Cave, but they are generally hard to find. Even the small veins are not always discovered by cultivators when the cave opens, let alone a large Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein.

“Clan Leader, right now Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is fighting with Lu Chun of the Mystic Moon Trading House; Lu Chun wants to seize the large vein from Jing Yan. Elder Shao Yu and I are both here. Clan Leader, what do you say we should do?” Xin Rui Kun continued.

Clan Chief Xin Si exhaled, glanced at the Xin Family members present.

“Clan Leader, if we help Mr. Jing Yan, will the Mystic Moon Trading House…” Xin Li hesitantly said.

Clan Chief Xin Si shook his head gently, pondered, and quickly made a decision, sending a message to Xin Rui Kun: “Rui Kun, don’t be overly cautious; you and Elder Shao Yu should protect Young Friend Jing Yan.”
