The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1629: Chapter 1629: Insatiable Greed

Jing Yun’s gaze swept across the faces of those below one by one.

The Void God Warriors who met Jing Yun’s gaze seemed somewhat uneasy. However, they all braced themselves and refused to back down. Since they had already made a decision and come this far, they couldn’t easily give in.

"Alliance Leader, we have no issues with the Jing Family. The Jing Family is the most powerful family in our world, and it’s natural they receive the most resources. However, the head of the Zhou Family is merely a Saint Realm Martial Artist. Why should the Zhou Family receive more resources than our families that have Void God Warriors?" one of the Void Gods said, stiffening his neck.

The person he mentioned, Zhou Shangyun, is Bai Xue’s father, the former Commandery Prince of Lanqu County City. However, Zhou Shangyun had long since ceased being the Prince of Lan Qu County; now, he holds a high position in the Splendid Pill Tower.

He’s able to do so, naturally, because of Jing Yan.

The Zhou Family, nowadays, has quite a few members. However, the Zhou Family has never produced a strong Void God level figure, so in this low-class world, they have never ranked among the top families. Even Zhou Shangyun is only at the Saint Realm level.

Yet, the resources the Zhou Family receives are more than many top families. In this regard, the Void God wasn’t wrong.

The point is, the resources the Zhou Family receives have nothing to do with outsiders. Most of the Zhou Family’s resources come from the Jing Family. In other words, the resources the Zhou Family receives are mostly from the Jing Family’s own share, unrelated to other families.

These Void God Warriors, these top families, raised this issue out of jealousy, envious of the benefits the Zhou Family receives.

The human heart is hard to satisfy.

Although they did not dare to directly confront the Jing Family, they turned their attention to the Zhou Family.

Zhou Shangyun, sitting there, did not look too pleased either.

In fact, from the beginning, Zhou Shangyun had refused to receive so many resources from the Jing Family, worried about people gossiping. However, Jing Yun was very insistent, and Zhou Shangyun found it hard to refuse.

Jing Yun’s expression grew more and more unpleasant.

He knew that for these people to have the nerve to stand up and pressure him, they must be supported by someone. If those supporting them were outsiders, Jing Yun wouldn’t be so furious. What enraged him was the possibility that those supporting them might come from within his own family, from the Jing Family.

Jing Yun didn’t have the evidence to ascertain who was behind them, but he could guess a range.

"Gentlemen!"

"I want to say that no matter how many resources the Zhou Family receives, it has nothing to do with you. The Zhou Family’s resources are directly allocated from the Splendid Pill Tower. Frankly speaking, even if the Jing Family were to give the Splendid Pill Tower to the Zhou Family, it would have nothing to do with you." Jing Yun said in a low voice.

"Alliance Leader, we cannot agree with your words."

"Exactly! Although the Splendid Pill Tower is an asset of the Jing Family, it can’t be said to have nothing to do with us, right? Now, our world is one entity; the convening of the Void God Assembly and the election of the Alliance Leader are for this exact purpose, aren’t they? Aren’t the materials for the Splendid Pill Tower provided by our entire world? Moreover, is there a single family among us that doesn’t have a Pill Master working at the Splendid Pill Tower?"

"..."

A group of people began to refute Jing Yun.

"Heh heh..."

"It seems you all came well-prepared today!" Jing Yun’s eyes narrowed.

"If I don’t comply with your wishes, what will you do?" Jing Yun asked sharply.

"Alliance Leader..." Zhou Shangyun stood up at this moment, looking towards Jing Yun.

"Uncle Shang Yun, there’s no need to persuade me." Jing Yun said to Zhou Shangyun.

"Alliance Leader, if you insist, then I can only withdraw the Pill Masters from our family from the Splendid Pill Tower. I assume the Alliance Leader won’t stop me from doing so?" said a Void God.

Jing Yun’s eyes narrowed, a trace of coldness spreading within.

These people are truly bastards.

The families indeed have many Pill Masters at the Splendid Pill Tower. However, the reason their families’ Pill Masters have achieved so much in Alchemy is also thanks to the members of the Splendid Pill Tower. The alchemy methods of the Splendid Pill Tower are unparalleled. Many of the family’s Pill Masters, when they entered the Splendid Pill Tower, were only small Pharmacists, having some talent in Alchemy, but it was within the Splendid Pill Tower that they embarked on the formal path of Alchemy.

And now they threaten to withdraw all their Pill Masters from the Splendid Pill Tower.

Jing Yun was also somewhat stifled, anger swelling in his chest.

The withdrawal of these families’ Pill Masters, who constitute a large portion of the Splendid Pill Tower, would undeniably have a huge impact.

"If you want to leave, by all means, the Splendid Pill Tower won’t stop anyone who wishes to depart!"

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly descended from the sky.

Everyone present trembled slightly, then looked up into the sky. However, they didn’t see any figures.

"Who is it? Show yourself!" someone shouted angrily.

In the blink of an eye, three figures suddenly appeared in the sky. With a flicker, the three figures descended onto the square below.

The person who spoke just now was Jing Yan.

Although Jing Yan had not arrived here earlier in person, his Divine Thought had been encompassing this place, so he was well aware of what these people were saying. He understood their intentions completely.

"Jing Yan?"

"Bai Xue?"

Zhou Shangyun saw the three figures who had arrived, and he opened his mouth, disbelief flashing in his eyes.

He certainly had not expected to see Jing Yan again, to see Bai Xue again.

He thought he might never see his daughter Bai Xue again this lifetime, especially since the Void Channel couldn’t be used, and he couldn’t go to the God Realm.

"Father." Bai Xue looked at Zhou Shangyun, calling out softly.

In the past, Bai Xue’s relationship with Zhou Shangyun wasn’t very good. But now, Bai Xue’s mindset had greatly changed from before. Seeing her father again, Bai Xue felt nothing but warmth in her heart.

"Father, you... you’re back?" Jing Yun, upon seeing Jing Yan, immediately stood up excitedly, his words stumbling slightly.

"Yes!" Jing Yan nodded at Jing Yun.

"I’ve returned this time to take you to the God Realm with me. Your mother and sister are waiting there." Jing Yan said to Jing Yun.

At this moment, all the Martial Artists present had a dazed look on their faces. Some of them had never seen Jing Yan in person, while a few had. However, even those who hadn’t seen Jing Yan in person could recognize him. Jing Yan’s statues aren’t just at the Jing Family Mansion; they are in many important cities in this world, and even in the Endless Abyss there are such statues.

The Void God Warriors present felt a chill spread throughout their bodies, their minds blank.
