The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2334: Chapter 2234: The One Who Deserves Death Is You

Seeing that it was Ying Zhu speaking from the crowd, Diao Fu’s eyes immediately showed murderous intent.

Currently, in the Blue Rain Divine Continent, the Ying Family is already considered a very powerful Lord Family. From the start, Diao Fu tried to win over the Ying Family, hoping they would support him in controlling the Blue Rain Divine Continent, but the Ying Family never accepted his goodwill or, rather, his bribes.

So when Ying Zhu spoke, Diao Fu could guess what Ying Zhu wanted to say.

"Lord Ying Zhu?" Grand Steward Zhan Zhong, seeing it was Ying Zhu calling him, showed a slight flicker in his eyes.

He knew many Lords of the Blue Rain Divine Continent had already been bought by Diao Fu, but Lord Ying Zhu should not be one of them. The Ying Family’s interactions with Wuxia City are relatively frequent, and when Mr. Jing Yan left then, he had instructed the Wuxia Immortal Venerable to send a huge amount of resources to the Ying Family.

Due to Mr. Jing Yan being a link, the relationship between the Wuxia Immortal Venerable and the Ying Family is very close.

Therefore, Zhan Zhong believed that Lord Ying Zhu would certainly oppose Diao Fu becoming the Heavenly Monarch of the Blue Rain Divine Continent.

"Grand Steward, I believe the Wuxia Immortal Venerable will certainly return. Although the Blue Rain Divine Continent currently lacks the Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s leadership, with you steering the course, I imagine it won’t be an issue. As I understand, the Wuxia Immortal Venerable often goes out to train, sometimes for as long as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. And now, the Wuxia Immortal Venerable has only been away for a hundred years." Lord Ying Zhu said slowly.

After Lord Ying Zhu finished speaking, many Lords present nodded quietly.

What Lord Ying Zhu said was not wrong at all.

Even if the Wuxia Immortal Venerable isn’t here for a short time, the Blue Rain Divine Continent will not descend into chaos. In the past, the Wuxia Immortal Venerable would leave to train.

Actually, the Lords Diao Fu could win over were just a few. There are many Lord Families within the Blue Rain Divine Continent, and even with vast resources, Diao Fu can’t possibly win over most Lords, as the cost would be something Diao Fu cannot bear. Most people have not boarded Diao Fu’s pirate ship.

What Lord Ying Zhu said made sense, so naturally everyone agreed.

Seeing the atmosphere was unusual, Diao Fu’s gaze became darker and more sinister.

"Lord Ying Zhu is absolutely right; the Wuxia Immortal Venerable is merely temporarily away from Wuxia City. I believe it won’t be long before the return." The Grand Steward agreed accordingly.

"Heh, why does Chief Zhan Zhong pretend to be ignorant?" Diao Fu sneered.

"Isn’t it known to everyone that the Wuxia Immortal Venerable was captured by the Slaughter God Hall? Everyone present should have heard of that place, right? Do you really believe that the Wuxia Immortal Venerable will return?" Diao Fu revealed the truth.

"Whether the Wuxia Immortal Venerable can return is not for Lord Diao Fu to decide. Even if the Wuxia Immortal Venerable indeed takes a long time to return, the position of the Heavenly Monarch in the Blue Rain Divine Continent shouldn’t be yours. Among those besides the Wuxia Immortal Venerable, the most qualified should be the Grand Steward." Lord Ying Zhu added.

"Indeed! Chief Zhan Zhong is the one most qualified to become the new Heavenly Monarch. He has been by the Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s side for a long time."

"Lord Diao Fu is merely in the position of a guest."

"I think, for now, we should wait for the Wuxia Immortal Venerable to return. If the Wuxia Immortal Venerable indeed takes a long time to return, we will then decide who should take on the new position of the Heavenly Monarch of the Blue Rain Divine Continent."

"..." Whispering sounds spread out.

Diao Fu took a quick breath in frustration, glaring at Ying Zhu with vicious eyes.

"If Lord Ying Zhu is so capable, why not come over here and speak?" Diao Fu said.

Lord Ying Zhu hesitated for a moment, but eventually stepped out from the crowd, coming to the fore.

"Ying Zhu, colluding with demons, causing chaos in the Blue Rain Divine Continent, are you aware of your crime?" Diao Fu suddenly changed his tone, shouting angrily at Lord Ying Zhu.

"What?" Ying Zhu’s face sank.

"Even now, you won’t confess? Seeking death!" Diao Fu suddenly burst forth, attacking Ying Zhu.

"Diao Fu, what do you think you are doing?" The Grand Steward didn’t expect Diao Fu to strike suddenly, and he exclaimed in shock while also trying to stop Diao Fu’s attack on Ying Zhu.

The issue is that Diao Fu’s strength is indeed formidable. Even Zhan Zhong cannot completely match Diao Fu. Coupled with Diao Fu’s sudden attack, Zhan Zhong was a step late in his movements. He couldn’t completely stop Diao Fu; he only managed to deflect part of Diao Fu’s Power.

Lord Ying Zhu was somewhat prepared. As soon as Diao Fu attacked, he defended with all his might. When Diao Fu asked him to come over, he realized this sinister and vicious person might target him.

It’s a shame, though, that Lord Ying Zhu’s strength was too weak. Even with full defense, he couldn’t withstand part of Diao Fu’s attack Power. His body was directly blasted away by the terrifying energy, spewing several mouthfuls of fresh blood.

The other Lords, witnessing this scene, furrowed their brows tight and looked towards Diao Fu with increasing fear.

Diao Fu’s power is too overwhelming!

"Diao Fu, you’re mad!" Zhan Zhong angrily rebuked the sneering Diao Fu.

"Grand Steward, you should watch your words. This Ying Zhu colluded with demons to cause chaos in the Blue Rain Divine Continent and deserves death!" Diao Fu’s eyes rolled coldly with a smile.

Ying Zhu colluding with demons; this was naturally Diao Fu falsely accusing Lord Ying Zhu. What Lord Ying Zhu said earlier had already stirred unrest among many Lords. If he, Diao Fu, didn’t suppress it now, it might jeopardize all his preparations thus far. He now intends to make an example, so anyone who opposes him will see Lord Ying Zhu’s fate as a warning.

Lord Ying Zhu’s face was pale; Diao Fu’s attack didn’t kill him, but it severely injured him. If not for the fact that Chief Zhan Zhong blocked part of the Power, Diao Fu’s attack would’ve killed him. Diao Fu truly intended to kill him!

"The one who deserves death is you, Diao Fu!"

Just then, a voice suddenly appeared.

Everyone present was slightly taken aback, then began to search around for the speaker. Soon, they found themselves unable to determine where the voice was coming from, nor could they find out who was speaking.

"Who?" Diao Fu’s gaze turned cold as he searched around, trying to find the speaker.

Even he couldn’t discern the specific location of the voice. The voice seemed close yet ethereal, as if it rang directly in everyone’s mind.

The speaker was, of course, Jing Yan.

Jing Yan had just entered Wuxia City and spread his Divine Thought to survey the entire city’s situation. He saw Lord Ying Zhu being blasted away, and Diao Fu claiming Lord Ying Zhu deserved death. So, he immediately said that it was Diao Fu who deserved death.

From the city outskirts of Wuxia City, Jing Yan traversed space and appeared in the plaza of the Wuxia Immortal Venerable Mansion the next moment.

Clad in a black robe, Jing Yan wore a cold expression on his face.

"Mr. Jing Yan?" Chief Manager Zhan Zhong, upon seeing Jing Yan’s arrival, uttered a cry of disbelief.
