The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2329: Chapter 2329: So What If He’s the Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable

Min Lan Immortal Venerable, like Xu Shun Heavenly Monarch, was killed by a single sword strike from Jing Yan.

The flying head, with eyes still wide open, seemed unable to believe he would be killed by Jing Yan. He, Min Lan Immortal Venerable, was a disciple of Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable; who in Faro Heaven would dare not show him some respect?

Min Lan Immortal Venerable dominated Faro Heaven for countless years, and though he had many enemies, they were either dead or quivering in unknown corners; who would dare to seek revenge against him?

Min Lan Immortal Venerable’s head flew for a moment before falling to the ground below, while his body hit the ground before his head did, landing with a soft ’thud’ in front of the entrance to the Xima Immortal Mansion.

The sound was small, but it struck the hearts of everyone present.

Xima Immortal Venerable was trembling all over.

He too could hardly believe his eyes.

He never expected that Min Lan Immortal Venerable would be killed in Huatong City, nor did he expect Min Lan Immortal Venerable to die right in front of him.

The one who killed Min Lan Immortal Venerable was none other than this person named Jing Yan. Ten thousand years ago, before Jing Yan went to Nightmare City, he was a cultivator of the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm with mighty strength, capable of killing the Slaughter God Hall’s E Si Saint. And now, Jing Yan had already stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm, killing Min Lan Immortal Venerable was as easy as crushing an ant.

And he, Xima Immortal Venerable, was also unable to contend with Jing Yan.

Xima Immortal Venerable had tried his utmost to stop Jing Yan from attacking Min Lan Immortal Venerable; he had even mobilized the city formation’s power to block Jing Yan’s attack. Yet, that thick energy was shattered by Jing Yan with a single punch. He recognized Jing Yan’s spell as Nine Heavens Divine Fire, an Immortal Venerable Level Technique with extremely powerful and difficult-to-cultivate power.

Xima Immortal Venerable looked at Jing Yan with a very complex expression.

Logically speaking, since Jing Yan killed Min Lan Immortal Venerable in front of him, it should cause him a great deal of trouble, and he should act against Jing Yan. The problem was that he realized he was far from being Jing Yan’s match. Seeing Jing Yan with boiling killing intent, he might very well end up dead too.

Xima Immortal Venerable was not stupid; realizing the huge gap between himself and Jing Yan, he naturally wouldn’t make a move; that would be courting death.

Jing Yan hovered in the air, the sword light on his Ice Flame Sword flickering, exuding a chilling aura.

His gaze swept past Xima Immortal Venerable and the numerous guards. In his eyes, there was a sinister killing intent, and every guard felt a chill through their entire body as he looked at them.

This cultivator named Jing Yan was truly terrifying. Even an Immortal Venerable like Min Lan couldn’t withstand a single strike. Although Min Lan Immortal Venerable wasn’t extremely powerful, he was still a genuine Immortal Venerable Realm cultivator, a lofty figure. Yet, such a figure was killed with a single move, just like they would kill a minor Dao Skill Realm figure.

Just how terrifying is this Jing Yan Immortal Venerable?

"Immortal Venerable Jing Yan," Xima Immortal Venerable spoke, his voice dry.

Jing Yan coldly looked at Xima Immortal Venerable.

If Xima Immortal Venerable had any intention to act at this moment, Jing Yan wouldn’t mind also eliminating this Xima Immortal Venerable.

"Immortal Venerable Jing Yan, I know why you killed Min Lan Immortal Venerable."

"I understand your actions; if I were you, I might not be able to resist the urge for revenge either."

"But... Min Lan Immortal Venerable is a disciple of Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable! Immortal Venerable Jing Yan, you might not yet understand how terrifying Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable is; he is someone even Lord Heavenly Master fears," Xima Immortal Venerable said slowly.

"Hehe, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, what of him?" Jing Yan scoffed with indifference.

"You..." Xima Immortal Venerable was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Immortal Venerable Jing Yan, take care of yourself! Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable is extremely protective; once he learns Min Lan Immortal Venerable was killed by you, he definitely won’t let it go," Xima Immortal Venerable added.

He knew he couldn’t do anything to Jing Yan, even relying on Huatong City’s Big Array wouldn’t help him hold Jing Yan back. Since that was the case, letting Jing Yan leave peacefully was the best option.

"At least you have some sense." Jing Yan squinted his eyes, glanced at Xima Immortal Venerable, and then put away the Ice Flame Sword, collecting the items Min Lan Immortal Venerable left behind.

As for the things left by Xu Shun Heavenly Monarch, Jing Yan didn’t inspect them.

After gathering the resources Xu Shun Heavenly Monarch left behind, Jing Yan flew away from Huatong City alone.

"He’s gone."

"Immortal Venerable Jing Yan has left."

"So terrifying! So dreadfully terrifying! How strong is he really? Min Lan Immortal Venerable was killed with one strike. Lord Xima was actually pressured into not daring to act."

The crowd once again began to discuss.

Before Jing Yan left, all those watching were quiet, as the pressure Jing Yan exerted was overwhelming, making them dare not speak, even forget to talk and discuss. Now that Jing Yan had left, they became lively again.

Today, they witnessed something extremely incredible. Min Lan Immortal Venerable, who dominated Faro Heaven for countless years, demanding respect from everyone, had died so easily, without even the ability to struggle.

Everyone knew that once this news spread, it would surely shake all of Faro Heaven. What actions might the terrifying entity behind Min Lan Immortal Venerable take? What would Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable do – become enraged and seek revenge on Jing Yan directly, or use other means?

Xima Immortal Venerable watched Jing Yan fly out of the city; he hovered in mid-air, motionless for a long time. He observed the severely damaged city formation, looked at the chaos on the ground, and at the two lifeless bodies.

"What can I do? Ah? Who will tell me what I, Xima, can do?" Xima Immortal Venerable howled in anguish within.

...

Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters.

After Jing Yan left the Mystic Moon Trading House, Elder Kuo Lian pondered for a while before making a decision.

He took out the Communication Magical Treasure to transmit a message to Wu Guo Heavenly Lord.

In Kuo Lian’s view, Jing Yan heading to Huatong City alone was a journey fraught with peril. Perhaps Wu Guo Heavenly Lord, who holds Jing Yan in high regard, might help him.

The best Kuo Lian could do was this much.

"Elder Kuo Lian?" After Elder Kuo Lian transmitted the message, Wu Guo Heavenly Lord quickly responded.

Lately, Mystic Moon Trading House had been at war with Slaughter God Hall, and many advised Elder Kuo Lian and other high-ranking members of the Trading House to cease, but Wu Guo Heavenly Lord hadn’t made any comment.

"Lord Heavenly Master."

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan has returned from Nightmare City," Elder Kuo Lian said directly.

"Oh?" Wu Guo Heavenly Lord’s tone was filled with surprise.

"Well, is Jing Yan in the Mystic Moon Trading House? Wuxia Immortal Venerable was captured by Slaughter God Hall; he must be very angry and disappointed, right?" Wu Guo Heavenly Lord asked.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is indeed very angry. Lord Heavenly Master, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan has already gone to Huatong City," Elder Kuo Lian shifted the topic.
