The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2310: Chapter 2310: Just Who Is He

At this moment, Shao Jie Dominator was extremely embarrassed.

Originally wanting to suppress Jing Yan, but unexpectedly, he couldn’t control the situation. If he didn’t do something, it would mean conceding, which was very humiliating. However, if he continued to act, he had no confidence whatsoever.

Just then, Kong You Immortal Venerable and Wanmo Mountain Demon Lord descended simultaneously.

”Mr. Kong You!”

”Great Demon Lord!”

Upon seeing these two, everyone bowed to greet them.

In the Nightmare City region, figures like Kong You Immortal Venerable and the Great Demon Lord are above Eighteen Bays Overlords. Kong You Immortal Venerable is a leading Soul Cultivator in Nightmare City region, while the Great Demon Lord had once killed an Overlord Level Cultivator with a single strike.

Shao Jie Dominator also bowed to greet the two.

However, neither Kong You Immortal Venerable nor Wanmo Mountain Demon Lord paid any attention to Shao Jie Dominator.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan!”

”Haha...”

”Earlier, I didn’t know Fellow Daoist Jing Yan had come to my Soul Leaving Mountain, and my neglect, please forgive it.” Kong You Immortal Venerable laughed heartily, clasping his hands to greet Jing Yan.

Previously, he indeed did not know who Jing Yan was.

”Daoist Kong You is too polite, I came uninvited, I hope I didn’t disturb Daoist Kong You.” Jing Yan said with a humble attitude.

And the attitude of Kong You Immortal Venerable towards Jing Yan once again left the Overlord Level characters and many cultivators on Soul Leaving Mountain in astonishment.

First, Bu Yun Dominator addressed Fellow Daoist Jing Yan respectfully, and now even Kong You Immortal Venerable did the same. It seems Jing Yan might indeed not be here at Soul Leaving Mountain for apprenticeship.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is truly at leisure, having come to test the Divine Soul Body.” The Great Demon Lord interjected.

After Wanmo Mountain Demon Lord uttered this, Shao Jie Dominator and others almost had their eyes pop out.

They merely felt they might have overlooked something, why were both Kong You Immortal Venerable and Wanmo Mountain Demon Lord so respectful to Jing Yan, whom they had never heard of?

Shao Jie Dominator’s face turned pale.

Even Bu Yun Dominator’s heart trembled heavily. Although he had heard rumors in Iron Bay about the Great Demon Lord being friendly to Jing Yan, he hadn’t seen it himself. Now, he personally experienced the notorious Wanmo Mountain Demon Lord’s attitude towards Jing Yan.

He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, thinking how fortunate Tian Ba Dominator and others were not to have acted aggressively towards Jing Yan before, or they might have faced a lethal threat.

”The Great Demon Lord is jesting.” Jing Yan chuckled back at the Great Demon Lord.

In front of outsiders, Jing Yan could only refer to Night Moon Immortal Emperor as the Great Demon Lord.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I have already heard from the Great Demon Lord about your purpose in seeking me. How about discussing it at my residence now?” Kong You Immortal Venerable suggested.

”Sure!” Jing Yan nodded.

”However, before that, I have a request for Daoist Kong You.” Jing Yan turned and said.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, please speak.” Kong You Immortal Venerable responded promptly.

”It’s like this, this Miss Zi Rong is a Soul Cultivator and a junior of Fellow Daoist Bu Yun, she wishes to apprentice under you, I am wondering if...” Jing Yan glanced at Bu Zirong, who was standing with other young people.

Jing Yan intended for Kong You Immortal Venerable to take Bu Zirong as an apprentice.

He did this because Bu Zirong is a junior of Bu Yun Dominator and previously did not mock him like others. Another reason was to teach a small lesson to those juniors who had glared at him before.

If Kong You Immortal Venerable accepted Zi Rong as an apprentice because of Jing Yan’s words, those other young cultivators would likely regret bitterly.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s request, Kong You Immortal Venerable very straightforwardly said: ”That is simple, from now on, Bu Zirong will be my disciple. Wang Pao, come over here to arrange things for Bu Zirong, from now on she will cultivate at Soul Leaving Mountain.”

Standing on the periphery, Immortal Wang Pao immediately stepped forward quickly.

Bu Zirong widened her eyes, somewhat unable to believe it was real; she hadn’t even tested her Divine Soul Body purity, yet Kong You Immortal Venerable directly accepted her as a disciple?

It wasn’t until Immortal Wang Pao called her name that she reacted.

Immortal Bu Yun was also extremely delighted. For Jing Yan, securing Zi Rong’s apprenticeship seemed a mere word, but without Jing Yan’s word, it would be difficult. Even if he was willing to make significant efforts, the success of Zi Rong’s apprenticeship was uncertain. Additionally, Zi Rong’s Divine Soul Body testing would likely fail to meet the requirements more than ninety percent of the time.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, this... I’m sincerely grateful.” Bu Yun Dominator expressed.

”Fellow Daoist Bu Yun, no need to be polite.” Jing Yan waved his hand.

Subsequently, Jing Yan, together with Kong You Immortal Venerable and the Great Demon Lord, left Soul Testing Stone Square and returned to Kong You Immortal Venerable’s residence.

”Fellow Daoist Bu Yun, you... you’ve really caused me trouble.” Shao Jie Dominator remarked with a bitter smile.

”Fellow Daoist Shao Jie, you exaggerate.” Bu Yun Dominator replied.

”Alas!” Shao Jie Dominator sighed deeply, realizing his trip to Soul Leaving Mountain was likely in vain, and his actions might have dissatisfied Kong You Immortal Venerable.

If he didn’t find ways to improve relations, his juniors would struggle to apprentice under Kong You Immortal Venerable in the future.

”Fellow Daoist Bu Yun, you really let us down!” One Overlord commented.

”Exactly, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is someone with considerable influence, yet you never mentioned a word to us.”

”Fortunately, I didn’t say anything earlier, or the consequences would have been unimaginable!”

”...” Several Overlords remarked, all relieved they hadn’t hastily stepped forward.

”Fellow Daoist Bu Yun, what exactly is the origin of Fellow Daoist Jing Yan? Even Mr. Kong You and the Great Demon Lord treat him with such courtesy?” Another Overlord turned to inquire.

The others ceased speaking, merely looking at Bu Yun Dominator, waiting for an answer.

”Fellow Daoists, are you familiar with Youlong Demon Lord of Wanmo Mountain?” Bu Yun Dominator’s eyes moved slightly as he replied.

The crowd nodded.

Youlong Demon Lord is the Third Demon Lord of Wanmo Mountain, extremely powerful, only slightly weaker compared to Overlords like them. They have lived for countless years and are surely aware of immortals of similar levels in the Nightmare City Eighteen Bays.

Among the Overlords present, some had dealt with Youlong directly, even engaged in combat.

”Not long ago, Youlong Demon Lord died.” Bu Yun Dominator said solemnly.

”What?”

”Youlong Demon Lord died?”

”How did he die? With his strength, there aren’t many in the Nightmare City Eighteen Bays who could kill him. Moreover, he’s a Demon Lord of Wanmo Mountain, even Kong You Immortal Venerable wouldn’t dare to intrude and kill in Wanmo Mountain, right?” The crowd queried.

”Hehe...” Bu Yun Dominator laughed softly: ”Youlong Demon Lord led a group of demons from Wanmo Mountain intending to massacre a city; at that time Fellow Daoist Jing Yan was in that city. The result was Youlong Demon Lord was slain directly by Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, and all the demons Wanmo Mountain dispatched to that city were annihilated. After that incident, Wanmo Mountain Demon Lord invited Fellow Daoist Jing Yan to visit Wanmo Mountain as a guest; you all saw the Great Demon Lord’s attitude towards Fellow Daoist Jing Yan just now.”
