The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2243: Chapter 2243: No One Can Force Wuxia

Jing Yan was dressed in black, his figure slightly lean.

He stood up, his gaze on Wuxia Immortal Venerable, and spoke softly.

Actually, even if Wuxia Immortal Venerable continued drinking, it wouldn’t matter. Even if she didn’t activate Divine Power to sober up, it wouldn’t be important either. But Jing Yan still stood up to tell Wuxia not to continue drinking.

Mans’ actions made Jing Yan very unhappy. Mans’ current behavior was bullying Wuxia, and Jing Yan wouldn’t allow anyone to bully Wuxia. Although Wuxia Immortal Venerable was not Jing Yan’s Daoist couple, Jing Yan couldn’t just watch Wuxia being bullied and humiliated, even if that person had terrifying strength and a formidable background.

When Jing Yan stood up to speak, the gazes in the hall suddenly shifted to him.

Earlier, when Mans asked Wuxia Immortal Venerable to drink, none of the many people present spoke up to stop it. Even Yuantong Immortal Venerable didn’t speak up directly. Although Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s face didn’t look good, possibly due to Pu Bai Immortal Venerable, he hadn’t spoken up for Wuxia Immortal Venerable so far.

Mans’ identity and background caused deep dread among those present.

“Who are you?” Mans turned his eye, looking at Jing Yan.

His sinister eyes swept over Jing Yan as he asked in a sharp voice.

When Mans asked who Jing Yan was, Wuxia Immortal Venerable also glanced at Jing Yan.

“Immortal Venerable Mans, this cup is my apology to you.” Wuxia raised her cup and drank it all.

However, deep in Wuxia’s beautiful eyes, tears were hidden.

“Wuxia, do you think this is enough to apologize? Not nearly. I came here mainly to take you away. In front of so many people, if you reject my pursuit, where will my face go? I’m directly telling you now, even if you refuse this time, I’m still taking you away. Heh, although you’ve stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm, if I decide to take you, you can’t resist. You should know that.” Mans’ gaze returned to Wuxia Immortal Venerable.

Wuxia Immortal Venerable obtained the Sky Suppressing Seal in the Immortal Venerable Tower, a high-grade Dharma Seal with formidable power. But since Wuxia Immortal Venerable had only recently stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm, it was clear she couldn’t be Mans’ match in a fight. Mans is one of the Twelve Saints of the Slaughter God Hall, best known for his path of slaughter and attack.

“If Wuxia doesn’t want to go, no one can force her.” Jing Yan spoke again, his voice carrying a chill.

Mans’ brow furrowed, and his expression turned completely dark this time.

The previous time Jing Yan spoke, he was already unhappy. And now this kid dares to interrupt again and again; is he tired of living?

And saying Wuxia doesn’t want to go, no one can force her?

Who does this kid think he is?

Even Yuantong Immortal Venerable wouldn’t dare to be so discourteous to him, Mans.

Long ago, when he took an interest in Wuxia, Yuantong Immortal Venerable invited Wu Guo Heavenly Lord to intervene to make him back down, not Yuantong himself.

“Who exactly are you, kid? Heh, are you courting death?” Mans glared at Jing Yan, a killing intent emanating from his body.

“Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, what do you mean to me? Do you need to meddle in my affairs?” Wuxia looked at Jing Yan and said.

Wuxia Immortal Venerable said this partly because she was still angry with Jing Yan and partly because she instinctively wanted to protect Jing Yan. She didn’t want Jing Yan to get dragged into this. Although Jing Yan could defeat Black River Heavenly Monarch, how does Black River Heavenly Monarch compare to Mans, Immortal Venerable? Black River Heavenly Monarch facing Mans, Immortal Venerable, has only one choice: to run away immediately.

While Mans might find it hard to kill Black River Heavenly Monarch, if Black River Heavenly Monarch doesn’t run and fights till the end, then the result will certainly be his own death. Black River Heavenly Monarch’s strength is similar to average Immortal Venerables, still a considerable gap from someone like Mans, Immortal Venerable. Black River Heavenly Monarch’s strongest ability lies in survival, not attack power that can compare with those formidable Immortal Venerables.

Even though Wuxia was angry at Jing Yan, she still didn’t want him to face someone like Mans, as it was very dangerous.

“Are you Jing Yan?” Mans’ eyes flashed.

He had heard of Jing Yan.

First was the news of Jing Yan defeating Black River Heavenly Monarch in the Yellow Spring Cave, and later on, Jing Yan helped Wuxia Immortal Venerable enter the Immortal Venerable Realm, which made Jing Yan’s name spread wildly in Faro Heaven. It’s normal for someone like Mans to know about Jing Yan.

“That’s right, I am Jing Yan.” Jing Yan looked at Immortal Venerable Mans.

“You little fellow have quite some skills! With just Immortal Charm Realm cultivation, you managed to defeat Black River Heavenly Monarch. It seems there are really some secrets on you. Well then, I’ll give you a chance to join the Slaughter God Hall and serve under me, how about that?” Immortal Venerable Mans said slowly.

In fact, Mans didn’t come to Wuxia City purely with the intention of having Wuxia Immortal Venerable become his Daoist couple. A significant part of the reason was Jing Yan.

In Faro Heaven, many people speculated that Jing Yan had secrets. Some even believed Jing Yan might know how to allow an Immortal Rhythm Peak cultivator to cross into the Immortal Venerable Realm. Although this notion was refuted by many, there were still some who thought it really might be possible.

Immortal Venerable Mans wanted to take Jing Yan back to the Slaughter God Hall because once Jing Yan entered it, whatever secrets he had would no longer be secrets to the Slaughter God Hall.

“Sorry, I have no interest in joining the Slaughter God Hall.” Jing Yan refused outright.

Of course, he couldn’t join that Slaughter God Hall.

The reputation of this force was not good in the entire Immortal Domain. Almost half of the demons in Faro Heaven joined the Slaughter God Hall. These demons committed all sorts of evil, yet the upper echelons of the Slaughter God Hall didn’t restrain their malicious acts. In fact, most of the upper echelon members of the Slaughter God Hall were themselves rather wicked. Just like Mans Immortal Venerable, one of the Twelve Saints, he had committed many unforgivable acts in Faro Heaven.

How could Jing Yan possibly work under someone like him?

Not to mention working under Mans, even if the Slaughter God Hall offered him a Saint Hand position, he wouldn’t join.

“Hmm?” Mans seemed to not expect Jing Yan to refuse so straightforwardly and showed a hint of surprise.

“Kid, if you don’t join the Slaughter God Hall, you’ll be in trouble. Earlier, I was speaking with Wuxia Immortal Venerable, and you interrupted twice, which made me very displeased!” Immortal Venerable Mans said, a sinister air about him.

“Whether you’re pleased or not has nothing to do with me. In any case, since Wuxia Immortal Venerable doesn’t want to leave Wuxia City, no one can force her,” Jing Yan said, unyielding.

He found Mans very unpleasant. Regardless of Mans’ vile actions, even if he were somewhat kind, Jing Yan couldn’t have any good feelings toward him because he wanted to make Wuxia Immortal Venerable into his Daoist couple.
