The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2358: Chapter 2358: Killing Intent Like a Blade

Min Lan’s character is poor, arrogant and reckless, and this Si Chi Immortal Venerable is no good either.

If he were facing Jing Yan alone, he wouldn’t dare to have this attitude towards Jing Yan; he simply doesn’t have the guts, as he’s very afraid of death. He acts so arrogantly now only because his master, the Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, is right beside him, and there are many friends of his master here in the Great Hall to support him.

He’s actually just trying to take advantage of the situation to bolster his presence.

Hearing Si Chi Immortal Venerable’s words, Jing Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Jing Yan looked at Si Chi Immortal Venerable.

Jing Yan truly didn’t recognize Si Chi Immortal Venerable, though Si Chi Immortal Venerable had reached the Immortal Venerable Realm earlier than Min Lan Immortal Venerable. In Faro Heaven, he’d made himself more known, but he hadn’t interacted with Jing Yan before. Si Chi Immortal Venerable wasn’t at an Immortal Venerable Peak Level, so it was normal for Jing Yan not to know him.

Si Chi Immortal Venerable’s face darkened, then he sneered, "Min Lan is my junior brother!"

"Oh, so you’re a disciple of Fire Cloud, Si Chi." Jing Yan nodded.

He didn’t know Si Chi but had heard that Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable had two disciples in the Immortal Venerable Realm: Si Chi Immortal Venerable and Min Lan Immortal Venerable.

"Jing Yan, don’t evade the main issue. You arrived so late and haven’t given everyone an explanation! In this Great Hall, with so many senior masters waiting for you, a young junior. Is this appropriate? Shouldn’t you be giving an explanation for your tardiness?" Si Chi Immortal Venerable shouted.

Jing Yan squinted slightly, staring at Si Chi Immortal Venerable.

"Si Chi, it’s not your place to speak here. You’d better shut up obediently." Jing Yan’s tone was indifferent.

"You..." Si Chi was instantly furious; Jing Yan was insulting him.

"Enough." Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable spoke.

Seeing his master, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable speak, Si Chi Immortal Venerable cast a venomous glare at Jing Yan but said no more.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, since you’re here, let’s not waste time. We should discuss this now." Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable said, looking at Jing Yan.

"How does Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable want to discuss it? Let’s hear it." Jing Yan replied nonchalantly.

Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable exchanged a glance with Wan Lunhai Sect Master beside him.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, Min Lan was my disciple, and you killed him. Originally, I should avenge Min Lan. Min Lan was one of my most outstanding disciples." Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable said slowly, his voice heavy.

"Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable wants revenge for his disciple. That’s fine. I’m right here, and Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable can strike at any time." Jing Yan said with a faint smile.

Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable paused his breath.

Had he been confident, why would he seek Wu Guo Heavenly Lord to mediate? Seeing Jing Yan’s nonchalant expression, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable was so angry his lungs nearly burst.

"Immortal Venerable Jing Yan, continuing to fight will benefit neither of us. I admit your strength is formidable. However, if you think you can threaten me based on this, you are gravely mistaken. I’m willing to negotiate with you for the sake of Heavenly Domain’s peace." Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable said, suppressing his anger.

"Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, say what you want to discuss. Get to the point." Jing Yan waved his hand.

"My request is simple. You hand over an Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Technique Manual as an apology, and the conflict between us will end." Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable took a deep breath.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yan almost couldn’t hold back his laughter. Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable came to negotiate and even expects him to offer an Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Technique Manual as an apology?

"Immortal Venerable Jing Yan, my Heavenly Gate Dao Sect also requires you to provide an Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Technique. Of course, the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect will offer some Black Crystal Stones in purchase. We can discuss the specific price privately. If Immortal Venerable Jing Yan is unwilling to sell the technique manual to Heavenly Gate Dao Sect, I cannot guarantee that the Dao Sect won’t bring some unpleasant troubles to Immortal Venerable Jing Yan in the future." Wan Lunhai spoke after Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable finished.

Jing Yan looked at Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, then at Wan Lunhai, the sect leader of Heavenly Gate Dao.

These two old coots are shameless! No, they are utterly brazen!

At this moment, some people in the Great Hall also had their thoughts stirred by the words of Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable and Wan Lunhai.

In the Great Hall, perhaps not everyone wanted the Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Technique, but the number of those who did was definitely more than just one or two. For those at the Immortal Charm Peak Level, the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique was quite attractive. Even if not for their disciples to cultivate, they could cultivate the technique themselves. An Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique could significantly enhance their defensive capabilities.

Among those whom Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable invited to support him, some were indeed interested in the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique.

Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable and Wan Lunhai had secretly discussed with these people to use this negotiation as an opportunity to pressure Jing Yan into compliance.

Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable and Wan Lunhai would first make the demand. Once Jing Yan agreed, others who wanted the virtualization technique from Jing Yan would seize the chance to make purchase requests. If Jing Yan did not agree to Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable and Wan Lunhai, they would unite to jointly pressure Jing Yan into agreeing.

In their eyes, the biggest issue was not whether Jing Yan would give up the virtualization technique manual but rather how many of those manuals Jing Yan still had. No matter how strong Jing Yan was, could he really take on so many opponents alone?

"You two, it’s time to wake up from your dream!" Jing Yan’s face turned cold, speaking solemnly to Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable and Master Wan Lunhai.

"What does Immortal Venerable Jing Yan mean by this?" Wan Lunhai said loudly with a grim expression.

"Just as it sounds, is it that hard to understand? If you weren’t dreaming, why would you think I’d agree to such a ridiculous demand?" Jing Yan sneered, his tone disdainful.

"Arrogant!"

"Jing Yan, don’t think that just because you’re powerful, you can do as you wish!" Si Chi Immortal Venerable popped up again.

"Ha, do you really think we fear you?"

"Jing Yan, you’re too naive. Your strength may be formidable, and my master even admits he’s not sure he can kill you. But don’t forget why you went to the Slaughter God Hall; wasn’t it to save that woman Wuxia? As far as I know, Wuxia should be at the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters now, correct? Do you think if my master and Master Wan Lunhai joined forces, they couldn’t break through Mystic Moon Trading House’s defenses? Moreover, isn’t the Wuxia City area something you care about? Many there are quite grateful to you! Ha, destroying the Wuxia City area, I could do it alone."

"Kid, you’re too young. Sometimes, the price of not compromising will make you regret it for a lifetime!" Si Chi’s gaze was like a venomous snake.

As Si Chi Immortal Venerable uttered these words, Jing Yan’s intent to kill had already become as chilling as a blade.
