The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2298: Chapter 2298: Why Would I Not Dare?

The Great Demon Lord was wearing a Ghost Face Mask, which was very strange; not only could you not see the Great Demon Lord’s face, but even his eyes were hidden. However, Jing Yan could feel the Great Demon Lord’s gaze constantly fixed on him.

Upon hearing the Great Demon Lord inquire again, Jing Yan did not remain silent this time.

"I entered the Mixed Element Immortal Domain from the Chaos World. Before entering the Mixed Element Immortal Domain, I passed the test left by the Thunder Emperor in the Chaos World, which is when I received the Thunder Origin legacy from the Thunder Emperor," Jing Yan responded.

His journey from the Chaos World to the Mixed Element Immortal Domain is not considered a secret; even Heavenly Lord Wu Guo in Faro Heaven knows it. When he first arrived in the Mixed Element Immortal Domain, Jing Yan concealed his identity because he only had the cultivation of the Taoist Realm and was too weak at that time. But now he is in the Immortal Venerable Realm, and not many cultivators in the Nine Days of Immortal Domain can threaten him.

Most importantly, he didn’t sense strong malevolence from the Great Demon Lord. The Great Demon Lord of Wanmo Mountain seems very interested in how he learned the Immortal Technique of Thunder Origin.

Jing Yan speculated that this Great Demon Lord of Wanmo Mountain might have some connection with the Thunder Emperor. Of course, Jing Yan’s speculation was not solely because the Great Demon Lord asked him about Thunder Origin but due to the mark on the inside of the Great Demon Lord’s sleeve. Jing Yan had seen this mark before and had a profound impression of it.

After Jing Yan finished speaking, it was now the Great Demon Lord’s turn to be silent for a long time.

It took quite a while.

"You are a cultivator created by the Thunder Emperor in the Chaos World."

"Being able to learn Thunder Origin is your fortune."

"You said you came to the Mixed Element Immortal Domain from the Chaos World, so why are you here in the Nightmare City region?" the Great Demon Lord asked in a hoarse voice.

"I came to the Nightmare City region to acquire Soul Techniques. In the Immortal Realm Nine Days, the number of Soul Cultivators is extremely low, and Soul Techniques are exceedingly rare. As far as I know, it’s not just in Faro Heaven but the same in other Heavenly Domains; obtaining Soul Techniques is very difficult. Even Low-level Soul Techniques are incredibly rare, let alone High-level Soul Techniques," Jing Yan explained.

"I understand," the Great Demon Lord nodded.

Jing Yan’s mind was racing.

At this moment, he was almost certain that this Great Demon Lord was deeply connected with the Thunder Emperor, but what exactly that connection was remained unclear. The Great Demon Lord’s visit to Bai City to see him, not immediately asking about the Emperor Weapon Moon God Bell, also seemed strange.

"Jing Yan, you used a Soul Technique when you killed Youlong, didn’t you?" the Great Demon Lord asked again.

"That’s right! When Youlong battled me, he used a Forbidden Secret Technique seemingly damaging the Divine Soul Body; I took the opportunity to use the Soul Technique Shadow Soul Kill to attack Youlong’s Divine Soul Body, which worked very well," Jing Yan admitted directly.

"Shadow Soul Kill?"

"I know this Soul Technique; it’s a pretty good Low-level Soul Technique. Did you learn Shadow Soul Kill after arriving at Iron Bay?" The Great Demon Lord’s voice seemed slightly changed.

Jing Yan had just mentioned how difficult it was to attain Soul Techniques in the Immortal Realm Nine Days, that even Low-level Soul Techniques were extremely rare, yet he now said he had used Shadow Soul Kill against Youlong. The Great Demon Lord realized that Jing Yan likely learned Shadow Soul Kill after reaching Iron Bay. But as far as the Great Demon Lord knew, Jing Yan had only been in Iron Bay for several thousand years; could he truly master a Soul Technique in such a short time?

Although Shadow Soul Kill is a Low-level Soul Technique, it is considered relatively hard to master within the category. If Jing Yan could master this Soul Technique in just a few thousand years, how frighteningly talented must he be in Soul Techniques?

In fact, it didn’t take Jing Yan a few thousand years to cultivate Shadow Soul Kill; most of that time was spent leveling up, crossing from the Immortal Rhythm Nether Sky Realm to the Immortal Venerable Realm.

"The Great Demon Lord is correct; I indeed got the opportunity to cultivate Shadow Soul Kill at the Bai Family," Jing Yan nodded.

The Great Demon Lord fell silent again.

Beneath the Ghost Face Mask, there was a shocked expression on her face. However, Jing Yan couldn’t see the expression of the Great Demon Lord.

"It seems your talent in Soul Techniques is indeed extraordinary. Even within the Nightmare Clan, individuals with your level of Soul Technique talent are very rare," said the Great Demon Lord.

"It should be decent," Jing Yan replied.

"Do you want to acquire High-level Soul Techniques?" the Great Demon Lord asked again.

Jing Yan squinted his eyes, gazing at the Great Demon Lord.

What did the Great Demon Lord mean by this?

He had killed the Third Demon Lord of Wanmo Mountain and seized the Emperor Weapon Moon God Bell; now the Great Demon Lord came to Bai City, not only did she not seem intent on reclaiming Moon God Bell, but she even asked whether he wanted High-level Soul Techniques.

This is incredibly mysterious.

"Great Demon Lord, may I ask, what is your relationship with my master, the Thunder Emperor?" Jing Yan did not directly answer the Great Demon Lord’s question but instead asked her.

"Hehe..." The Great Demon Lord chuckled.

"You want to know my relationship with the Thunder Emperor, and I can tell you. However, you must come with me to Wanmo Mountain. If you want High-level Soul Techniques, I can help, but you need to come to Wanmo Mountain with me first."

"Jing Yan, do you have the courage to do so?" asked the Great Demon Lord.

Jing Yan’s mind raced.

This Great Demon Lord of Wanmo Mountain, notorious throughout the Nightmare City region, wanted him to go to Wanmo Mountain?

What exactly did this Great Demon Lord intend to do?

Jing Yan did not yet know the Great Demon Lord was a woman, nor was he aware of any ulterior motives, but he could judge that the Great Demon Lord seemingly had no intention of attacking him from the start. As for whether the Great Demon Lord plans to trick him to Wanmo Mountain and then make a move, that possibility seemed even lower.

According to several Overlords of Iron Bay, this Great Demon Lord of Wanmo Mountain can instantly kill Overlord Level figures with one move. Would such a being devise a plan to trick him into Wanmo Mountain just to attack him afterwards?

Of course, if Jing Yan hadn’t discovered the mark inside the Great Demon Lord’s sleeve, he might not dare to go to Wanmo Mountain lightly. But now, Jing Yan felt quite confident. This Great Demon Lord is unlikely an enemy of the Thunder Emperor.

Because when Jing Yan entered the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone in the Chaos World to take the test, he saw the exact same mark in that special space.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Jing Yan paused slightly before saying.

"Alright, then come with me," the Great Demon Lord waved her hand, and the Isolation Energy enveloping the surroundings instantly disappeared, then she activated Divine Power, swiftly flying towards Wanmo Mountain.

Jing Yan followed closely behind.

Bai Wentai and others below had been worried about Jing Yan, unsure when the Great Demon Lord and Jing Yan might clash. Due to the Isolation Energy released by the Great Demon Lord, they also didn’t know what the Great Demon Lord and Jing Yan had been discussing.

"That energy has disappeared..." When the Great Demon Lord retracted the Isolation Energy, someone immediately exclaimed.
