The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1684: Chapter 1684: Recruitment

Jing Yan and the woman in black concealed themselves in a special space, quietly moving towards the distance, gradually becoming further away from Wu Yan and the Wu Clan tribe. Although Wu Yan was a Great Witch, he never managed to trace Jing Yan and the woman in black.

Once they reached a certain distance, the woman in black began to gradually accelerate. Moments later, Jing Yan could no longer see Wu Yan and the others. But to avoid accidents, the woman in black continued to fly with Jing Yan hidden in the special space for a while longer. Only when she was certain that Wu Yan wouldn’t find them did she wave her arm. As the surrounding light slightly distorted, Jing Yan and her body returned to the broader world.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist," Jing Yan cupped his hands towards the woman in black.

Jing Yan couldn’t accurately determine the age of the woman in black; she appeared naturally young, but due to the special Laws of the Witch Realm, even Jing Yan, who had reached the Complete state in the Life and Death Law, could not directly discern the specific age of the woman in black. Therefore, Jing Yan referred to her as "Daoist."

"No need to be polite. But you have quite some courage, daring to steal from the Wu Clan tribe. Judging from their frantic appearance, they must have suffered a significant loss," the woman in black looked at Jing Yan with interest.

"Your strength must be quite formidable as well? Even with the Great Witch of the Wu Clan tribe making a move, they couldn’t catch up to you. This time, the Wu Clan tribe will surely be embarrassed," the woman in black continued, without prying into what Jing Yan had stolen from the Wu Clan tribe, apparently cautious not to offend.

She seemed to have no fondness for the Wu Clan tribe at all. The idea of the Wu Clan tribe being humiliated seemed to please her greatly.

"Is the Wu Clan tribe very powerful?" Jing Yan asked smoothly.

Having just arrived in the Witch Realm, he was completely unfamiliar with this world. Since the Wu Clan tribe had a Chaos Supreme Level expert, it likely wasn’t a small force in this world.

"You..." hearing Jing Yan’s question, the woman in black was taken aback.

"You mean you don’t know how powerful the Wu Clan tribe is?" the woman in black seemed to have heard an amusing question.

"Don’t get me wrong, Daoist. I truly don’t know how powerful the Wu Clan tribe is. I came from a distant, remote place and am unfamiliar with this area, completely unaware of the Wu Clan tribe," Jing Yan smiled bitterly, answering seriously.

The woman in black examined Jing Yan again, and after a moment, she nodded.

"No wonder you dare to provoke the Wu Clan tribe. If you knew how powerful the Wu Clan tribe was, you surely wouldn’t have provoked them. The Wu Clan tribe is a Five-star force," the woman in black said.

"Five-star force?" Jing Yan murmured in his heart.

He had no concept of the Five-star forces in the Witch Realm.

Fortunately, the woman in black continued: "You wouldn’t be unaware of the Five-star forces, would you? A Five-star force is considered one of the most powerful forces. However, the Five-star forces in our Floating Domain are slightly weaker than the other Four Domains."

"You’re not from the Floating Domain, are you? If you were a cultivator from the Floating Domain, you certainly wouldn’t be unaware of the existence of the Wu Clan tribe. In the Floating Domain, no one is unaware of the Wu Clan tribe," the woman in black said, looking at Jing Yan.

"Well, I’ve only arrived here recently," Jing Yan nodded.

Jing Yan dared not reveal that he came from outside the realm as he didn’t know how the inhabitants of this world felt about outsiders. If they were extremely hostile, he would face endless troubles. He still had ambitions to enter the Extreme Land mentioned by Lady Nu Zhen.

"I am Ying Lu, what’s your name?" the woman in black revealed her name.

"My name is Jing Yan. Fellow Daoist Ying Lu, thank you again for your assistance," Jing Yan reciprocated with his name, once more expressing his gratitude to Ying Lu.

"Jing Yan. You’ve provoked the Wu Clan tribe, and they likely won’t rest until they’ve dealt with you. If you remain in the Floating Domain, it will be difficult to escape the Wu Clan tribe. Do you have any plans for what’s next?" Ying Lu asked.

"Well, actually, I don’t know. I’m not familiar with this place at all, so I can only take things as they come," Jing Yan said with a smile.

The Wu Clan tribe was powerful, but Jing Yan wasn’t overly concerned. Even though he couldn’t challenge the entire Wu Clan tribe, it would be difficult for them to kill him. Unless they had a High-level Supreme.

"So, you have no plans for what’s next? That’s great! Why not come back with me to our Shadow Clan tribe! Our Shadow Clan tribe has been recruiting powerful cultivators lately. Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, your strength seems formidable. If you’re willing to join the Shadow Clan tribe, you will surely receive excellent treatment," Ying Lu excitedly proposed to Jing Yan upon hearing he had no plans.

"Shadow Clan tribe? Fellow Daoist Ying Lu, you are aware that I just provoked the Wu Clan tribe. Aren’t you worried that if I join your tribe, the Wu Clan tribe might target you?" Jing Yan asked, puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, don’t underestimate our Shadow Clan tribe. In the Floating Domain, we’re also a significant force. Even the Wu Clan tribe wouldn’t lightly cross us. If you join the Shadow Clan tribe, you can rest assured that we would protect your safety," Ying Lu said with a confident smile.

What she said was indeed true.

In the Floating Domain, the Shadow Clan tribe ranked among the top forces. Although not as strong as the Wu Clan tribe, they weren’t easily bullied by them either.

Moreover, the Shadow Clan tribe was quite unique. The members of this tribe were exceptionally skilled in stealth and assassination. The tactics Ying Lu used to avoid Wu Yan earlier were quite brilliant; even someone like Wu Yan, a Great Witch, couldn’t detect the hiding place of Jing Yan and Ying Lu.

Jing Yan didn’t hesitate for long before agreeing.

Since he had freshly arrived in the Witch Realm, joining a faction could provide an opportunity to learn more about the Witch Realm.

"Let’s go, we’ll return to the tribe now," Ying Lu was elated to have successfully recruited Jing Yan.

Although she wasn’t entirely certain of Jing Yan’s true strength, considering he was pursued by the Wu Clan tribe’s Great Witch, Jing Yan was likely of Wizard Realm, with strength considered quite formidable among wizards.

In the Floating Domain, recruiting cultivators of Wizard Realm was no easy feat. Even for a powerful force like the Shadow Clan tribe, it required considerable time and effort.

Several days later, Ying Lu and Jing Yan arrived at the Shadow Clan tribe.

"Lady Lu!"

"Greetings, Lady Lu!"

As they approached the Shadow Clan tribe, several cultivators greeted Ying Lu. It seemed they were all members of the Shadow Clan tribe.

"Fellow Daoist Ying Lu, you seem to have a high status in the Shadow Clan tribe?" Jing Yan naturally noticed this.

The lives greeting Ying Lu, although most were relatively low in strength, there were some who had reached the Wizard Realm.
