The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1836: Chapter 1836: Terrifying Beyond Imagination

Jie Ying did not dare to hesitate, leading Hall Master Yan Qing towards the Investigation Hall where Jing Yan and the others were.

Any Slaughter God Temple could not have only one Investigation Hall. The larger the Slaughter God Temple, the more Investigation Halls there would be. This Slaughter God Temple had a total of four Investigation Halls. The one where Jing Yan and the five Slaughterers were located was one of them.

Obviously, after listening to Jie Ying’s report, Yan Qing also felt that the matter was significant.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that there was a problem with the Investigation Hall, leading to a discrepancy in the results? But how could there be mistakes in the Investigation Hall?

With this doubt, he arrived at the Investigation Hall where Jing Yan and the five Slaughterers were. As soon as he entered, his gaze swept over Jing Yan and the five Slaughterers.

"It really is so!" Yan Qing immediately noticed the slaughter marks on the robes in front of Jing Yan and the others.

Out of the five, the highest level was only a Second Ring Slayer.

"Hall Master?" Gu Mie immediately recognized Yan Qing.

After all, Gu Mie was a Second Ring Slayer, having completed dozens of slaughter tasks, and had seen Yan Qing. Yan Qing might not know him, but he knew Yan Qing.

Jing Yan and Luo Bing, of course, could not possibly know this Hall Master of the Slaughter God Temple on this Continent. But from Gu Mie’s soft exclamation, they also realized that the being who had just entered was the Hall Master of this Slaughter God Temple, who was in charge.

"Ladies and gentlemen Slaughterers, this is our Slaughter God Temple’s Hall Master Yan Qing. Master Yan Qing will personally inspect the completion of your slaughter tasks," Jie Ying introduced Yan Qing beside her.

"Alright! Master Yan Qing, please inspect," Jing Yan said in a calm tone.

Jing Yan felt that this Yan Qing should be very powerful, possibly at the Fifth Step Dao Method Realm. The Fifth Step Dao Method Realm, which was the level of the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix. In today’s home universe, perhaps only the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix could contend with him.

"According to what Jie Ying said, the slaughter task you completed changed, shifting from a First Ring team slaughter task to a Three-Ring team slaughter task. To ensure that the task was normal, I will personally inspect it," Hall Master Yan Qing looked at Jing Yan and nodded.

After he spoke, he gently waved his arm.

Suddenly, the mysterious investigative energy reappeared in this Great Hall.

"Fifty-person team Three-Ring slaughter task, completed." The mechanical voice resounded once again.

This time’s investigation result was exactly the same as the previous one.

"Visualization process!" Hall Master Yan Qing directly said.

In the Investigation Hall, the process of completing a slaughter task could be visualized. However, this authority was reserved only for the Hall Master of the Slaughter God Temple. Staff like Jie Ying did not have this power. Visualizing the task completion process in the Investigation Hall required consuming a lot of energy. Usually, it was not needed.

After Yan Qing gave the order, the energy in the Hall suddenly intensified. In an instant, above Jing Yan and the others, an image appeared. In the image, Jing Yan and the five Slaughterers were clearly visible, showing when they had just entered that Mini Continent.

The image kept changing, scene after scene flashing by, showing the pursuit of the Devouring Sky Clan life, leading to Gu Mie and the others teaming up to kill that Devouring Sky Clan life, Pu Lu. Everything was still normal.

Watching these scenes, Hall Master Yan Qing nodded from time to time.

Jie Ying beside Yan Qing was staring intently at the visualized images. She was also very curious, not knowing why the Investigation Hall had confirmed this task as a Three-Ring slaughter task, and a top difficulty fifty-person team Three-Ring slaughter task at that.

Gu Mie and the others were also fixated on the visualized images. Even though Gu Mie had completed dozens of slaughter tasks, he had never encountered a situation where visualization was required to confirm.

"So far, everything is normal. However, this seems to be just a First Ring slaughter task. That Devouring Sky Clan life is just at the ordinary Daoist Realm level." Hall Master Yan Qing thought to himself.

Soon after, Hall Master Yan Qing’s eyes narrowed, and his expression changed slightly. The visualization showed that after Jing Yan and the five Slaughterers killed the Devouring Sky Clan life, Pu Lu, they did not leave the Mini Continent and continued deeper. Could it be that there were other Devouring Sky Clan lives on that Mini Continent?

Hall Master Yan Qing instinctively thought so.

His confusion was quickly answered as another massive figure descended in the visualized images.

True enough, there were other Devouring Sky Clan lives. The task had changed.

The initial slaughter task that Jing Yan and the others received was an official First Ring slaughter task. The task information stated that there was only one Devouring Sky Clan life on this Mini Continent, with a cultivation of an ordinary Daoist Realm. Hall Master Yan Qing had specifically paid attention to this official First Ring slaughter task earlier.

But now, a second Devouring Sky Clan life had appeared.

In the visualized images, after seeing the second Devouring Sky Clan life, Gu Mie and the others immediately wanted to flee. However, obviously, that Devouring Sky Clan life was very powerful, sealing Gu Mie and the others.

"This is..." Hall Master Yan Qing’s eyes were fixed on the second Devouring Sky Clan life.

"What?"

"How is this possible!"

"Devouring Sky Clan life Ju E?" Yan Qing was so shocked that he exclaimed aloud.

Ju E, of course, he recognized, was an extremely powerful Devouring Sky Clan life with a cultivation at the Four-step Dao Method Realm. Although it was the Four-step Dao Method Realm, due to the unique nature of Devouring Sky Clan lives, even Yan Qing, as a Fifth-Step Dao Method Realm expert, might not be Ju E’s opponent.

Ju E was also on the wanted list in Laning Country, ranked ninth. The high-ranking officials of Laning Country were eager to eliminate Ju E, yet Ju E had always survived well.

How could this Ju E appear on that Mini Continent?

Since Ju E was on that Mini Continent, how did these five slayers return safely? Could it be that Ju E suddenly acted benevolently and spared the five Slaughterers?

The ensuing images left Yan Qing even more shaken, his body slightly trembling. Jie Ying beside him was also showing a stunned expression, her breathing heavy. They saw images of Jing Yan battling Ju E.

The process was not very long and was visualized even faster, with some combat details being omitted. But one thing was certain: Jing Yan’s strength was incredibly formidable. He fought Ju E one-on-one and eventually killed Ju E. Ju E still attempted to escape but failed.

With the visualization finished, all the images disappeared. The side hall fell into a temporary silence.

Hall Master Yan Qing’s gaze was fixed on Jing Yan. The previous images were truly unbelievable, and he needed a moment to process them. What he could not comprehend was why the novice Slaughterer Jing Yan, only at the Earth Realm Peak level, had such terrifying combat power.
