The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1634: Chapter 1634: Su Zixuan’s Last Words

With the compliments from the people in the room, Jing Bao immediately felt a sense of pride. Look, even among the Supreme Elders, there were strong individuals at the Void God level, but in front of him, weren’t they still courteous?

They were right.

His father was Jing Tianying. During his father’s era, he had a very good relationship with Jing Yan. Now, even if his father had passed away, Jing Yan had to give him some respect.

"Elders, I will do my best." Jing Bao agreed to take the lead.

The few elders in the room showed joy in their eyes, but did not express it on their faces. They exchanged glances quietly and spoke more flattering words to Jing Bao.

...

Many of Jing Yan’s old acquaintances lived in Donglin City back then, although many were not originally from there.

However, distance was not an issue for Jing Yan. With a thought, he could arrive anywhere in this low-class world.

"Alas..."

"Su Zixuan, she is..." Jing Yan stood on the long street, a bit melancholy.

It could be said that the impression Su Zixuan left on Jing Yan was unforgettable. Originally a servant at the Treasure Pavilion of Donglin First Building, Jing Yan later established the Splendid Pill Tower and recruited Su Zixuan, who had a talent for management.

At that time, Jing Yan had nothing. Without her trust in Jing Yan, Su Zixuan would hardly have left Donglin First Building at his word.

For a long period thereafter, Su Zixuan contributed ideas for the development and expansion of the Splendid Pill Tower. One could say she played a significant role in its growth.

Additionally, Su Zixuan had a special feeling for Jing Yan.

Although she hid this feeling deep within, never mentioning it to anyone or to Jing Yan, whenever she had free time, her mind was filled with his shadow.

Su Zixuan’s Martial Arts Realm ultimately stopped at the Dao Emperor Realm.

"If I had returned a thousand years earlier, I could have seen you," Jing Yan murmured softly, holding a beast skin scroll, with a somber expression.

Su Zixuan passed away only a thousand years ago.

Jing Yan had already read the contents of the beast skin scroll, which recorded the words Su Zixuan wanted to say to him but didn’t dare to.

Throughout her life, Su Zixuan never sought a Daoist couple. Before her lifespan was exhausted, she placed the beast skin scroll at the headquarters of the Splendid Pill Tower in Donglin City, instructing her trusted aides to give it to Jing Yan should he return. If not, then so be it.

Su Zixuan always believed that Jing Yan would return to this low-class world. She believed that Jing Yan could see the words she recorded on the beast skin scroll.

...

Jing Yan put away the beast skin scroll and, in a flash, arrived at Lanqu County City.

"Prince Manor!" Jing Yan stood before a large residence, looking at the plaque, with armored guards keeping watch at the main entrance.

In Brother Jing Yan’s era, the Commandery Prince of Lanqu County City was Zhou Shangyun. However, Zhou Shangyun moved to Donglin City with his entire family thousands of years ago.

The current Commandery Prince of Lanqu County City was Mu Liantian. Back then, Mu Liantian was Zhou Shangyun’s chief manager.

Mu Liantian also had a close relationship with Jing Yan. His daughter, Mu Yunfei, had various interactions with Jing Yan as well.

"Who goes there? This is the Prince Manor, unauthorized persons must not approach!"

As Jing Yan, with a smile on his lips, slowly approached the Prince Manor, several armored guards shouted to stop him.

"Is Commandery Prince Mu Liantian in?" Jing Yan asked the guards with a smile.

Even when in Donglin City, Jing Yan’s Divine Thoughts had fully covered the Prince Manor of Lanqu County, so he knew Mu Liantian was inside. Mu Liantian was now a Saint Path cultivation and still in good health. Furthermore, his daughter Mu Yunfei was also alive. Although she hadn’t stepped into the Void God Realm, her aura was stronger than Mu Liantian’s. This meant Mu Yunfei’s strength had surpassed her father’s, nearing the Void God level.

"Who are you? The Commandery Prince’s name is not something you can call at will!" the guard shouted angrily.

"Haha, you only need to report that an old friend from Donglin City has come to visit." Jing Yan paid no mind to the guard’s rebuke.

If Jing Yan wanted to enter the Prince Manor, it would be as easy as pie. However, he was visiting an old friend, and barging into the mansion would be inappropriate since this wasn’t his family’s estate.

Hearing Jing Yan mention Donglin City, the guards’ expressions changed.

In this world, almost everyone knew of Donglin City. Martial artists emerging from Donglin City likely had astonishing backgrounds. After all, it was the home base of the world’s strongest family, the Jing Family.

Knowing Jing Yan came from Donglin City, the guards exchanged glances and asked him to wait outside while one went into the estate to report.

A moment later, Mu Liantian came out personally.

Mu Liantian didn’t know it was Jing Yan, but the guard mentioned an old friend from Donglin City visiting. There seemed to be only one possibility—the visitor was someone from the Jing Family. Mu Liantian had always been in touch with the Jing Family.

With someone from the Jing Family visiting, Mu Liantian dared not be negligent, so he personally came out to greet them.

When he walked out to the front door and saw the person standing outside, his eyes widened.

"Haha, Brother Liantian, it’s been a long time since we last met." Jing Yan laughed as he greeted Mu Liantian.

"Jing... Jing Yan, is it really you?" Mu Liantian could hardly believe his eyes.

Mu Liantian hadn’t yet heard the news that Jing Yan appeared at the Void God Gathering. After all, the gathering was held just today. Although reports of Jing Yan returning from the God Realm were spreading, they wouldn’t reach him so quickly.

"Yes, it’s me! I just recently returned from the God Realm and came to see you," Jing Yan said with a smile.

"Quickly, come in!" Mu Liantian finally reacted and hurriedly bowed to invite Jing Yan inside.

...

"Who was that person?"

"The Commandery Prince seemed very courteous to him."

"Courteous? The Commandery Prince was more than just courteous. It was clear the Prince was extremely respectful to the young man. I can’t imagine who in Lanqu County could warrant such treatment from the Commandery Prince."

The armored guards discussed in low voices.

"No, no! What did the Commandery Prince call that young man just now? Jing Yan? Isn’t that the name we often hear? It’s said our Commandery Prince had a good relationship with that person back in the day." A guard suddenly exclaimed, then lowered his voice to speak again.
