The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2387: Chapter 2387: Settling Accounts Properly [Fourth Update]

The people of Faro Heaven felt an overwhelming pressure descending upon the space.

Xu Yiming’s heart trembled, for a true Immortal Venerable was not someone he could confront head-on. Even if he possessed the means of a soul technique attack, it couldn’t threaten an existence at the Immortal Venerable Realm.

As for Manager Qi and the others, they just felt that Xihua Immortal Venerable was somewhat overbearing, but due to his status and background, they were under immense pressure. Xihua Immortal Venerable’s direct involvement meant it was beyond their ability to handle. Manager Qi could only first quietly transmit a message to the Lord Chief, informing him of what was happening here.

"My Lord!" Wei Yong of Faro Heaven stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Xihua Immortal Venerable.

Wei Yong, a cultivator at the Immortal Charm Peak Level, was quite old, with gray hair, and held considerable authority among the cultivators of Faro Heaven on this Heavenly Domain Flying Boat.

"Immortal Venerable, the duel on the Gambling Platform is a match between Eastern Marvel Heaven and Faro Heaven. On the Gambling Platform, by the rules, one side killing the other isn’t against the rules." Wei Yong forced himself to say these words.

For the people of Faro Heaven, they could only resort to the rules of the Gambling Platform and use the power of Tianji Trading House to make Xihua Immortal Venerable wary.

"Are you Xu Yiming, the one who killed Yan Qin?" Xihua Immortal Venerable looked at Wei Yong.

"Replying to the Immortal Venerable, I am Wei Yong, a cultivator of Faro Heaven." Wei Yong said with his head down.

"Heh..." Xihua Immortal Venerable sneered: "I said for Xu Yiming to come out. You’re not Xu Yiming, so why step out? What, are my words worth nothing to you?"

Xihua Immortal Venerable’s gaze was ominous.

Wei Yong felt the intense killing intent.

"Immortal Venerable, but..." Wei Yong wanted to say a few more words.

"How dare you behave so insolently, you’re courting death!" Xihua Immortal Venerable moved swiftly, reaching out and striking Wei Yong with a palm. A terrifying pressure rolled up, enveloping Wei Yong in an instant.

Wei Yong quickly channeled his divine power to resist, but the gap between him and Xihua Immortal Venerable was simply too great. Even ordinary Immortal Venerables would find it difficult to withstand a strike from Xihua Immortal Venerable, let alone Wei Yong at the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm level.

"Puff!" Wei Yong’s body trembled violently under the palm seal, then thousands of cracks appeared on his body. These cracks expanded rapidly, completely shattering in an instant, causing Wei Yong’s aura to quickly wither and his life force to dissipate.

With a mere disagreement, he killed someone.

Wei Yong just stepped forward to explain a few words and was killed by a single palm from Xihua Immortal Venerable! With Xihua Immortal Venerable’s strength, if he wanted to teach Wei Yong a lesson, it would have been an easy task. He could have adjusted the power he exerted effortlessly, and there was no need to kill Wei Yong. Yet, he directly killed Wei Yong of Faro Heaven.

"Brother Wei Yong!" Xu Yiming shouted, rushing to where Wei Yong’s body lay. By this time, his body had already shattered into thousands of pieces, with blood staining the ground.

"Daoist Wei Yong!"

"Lord Wei Yong!" The cultivators of Faro Heaven were furious, with many of their eyes turning red.

Yet Xihua Immortal Venerable coldly looked at the people of Faro Heaven. He simply did not care about killing a few cultivators from Faro Heaven. In his eyes, these people were but small figures that could be killed at will.

Even on this Heavenly Domain Flying Boat, so what? With his status and background, would Tianji Trading House really mobilize forces to punish him for killing a few small figures from Faro Heaven?

The cultivators of Eastern Marvel Heaven, on the other hand, were all exhilarated. With Lord Xihua backing them, they were the overlords on this Heavenly Domain Flying Boat. Whoever dared to disobey would be killed! Even the personnel of Tianji Trading House had to give way!

"Lord Xihua, you... you..." Manager Qi and the other managers were at a loss for words.

"What do you want to say? That Wei Yong, what is he but an ant? Yet he dared to challenge me! Killing him, he asked for it!" Xihua Immortal Venerable glared at Manager Qi and the others.

"Lord Xihua! The rules of the Gambling Platform, you know them as well. Daoist Yan Qin represented Eastern Marvel Heaven in the duel, which means he was prepared. Surely it can’t be right for him to kill others but not be killed? The rules of the Gambling Platform were also set by Tianji Trading House. As honorable as you are, Lord Xihua, you cannot change the rules set by Tianji Trading House on their Heavenly Domain Flying Boat." Manager Qi also spoke with resentment.

"Hmph, I don’t care about those rules. All I know is, my friend Yan Qin was killed. I don’t care who the other party is, I must demand an explanation for Yan Qin. Xu Yiming, stand out for me!" Xihua Immortal Venerable shouted angrily again.

He claimed to be demanding an explanation for Yan Qin and said Yan Qin was his friend, but in truth, he was not familiar with Yan Qin at all. Before boarding this Heavenly Domain Flying Boat, he probably hadn’t even heard Yan Qin’s name. The reason he stood up now was obviously for a reason. The cultivators of Eastern Marvel Heaven had selected a few Immortal Charm Peak Level representatives to reach an agreement with Xihua Immortal Venerable, and Yan Qin was one of them.

On this Heavenly Domain Flying Boat, Xihua Immortal Venerable would protect them, and correspondingly, the cultivators of Eastern Marvel Heaven had to pay some resources for it. This resource came from winning half of the bets placed on the Gambling Platform.

All Eastern Marvel Heaven cultivators who betted in the duel had to give half of their winnings to Xihua Immortal Venerable. This amount was indeed substantial. In the past two bets, Xihua Immortal Venerable alone gained tens of billions of Black Crystal Stones. Such gains, even for Xihua Immortal Venerable, could not be ignored. His appearance in the low-level ticket area’s Gambling Platform was certainly not by chance but was signaled secretly by someone from Eastern Marvel Heaven.

"I am Xu Yiming!" Xu Yiming said with a voice filled with sorrow and anger.

He raised his head, looking at Xihua Immortal Venerable not far away.

"You want revenge for Yan Qin? Fine! Kill me then!" Xu Yiming was ready for death.

If Xihua Immortal Venerable wanted to kill him, he had no power to resist. He could see that this Xihua Immortal Venerable would not relent easily. He planned to exchange his death for the peace of the other Faro Heaven cultivators. Brother Wei Yong had already died because of him, and he didn’t want to see more Faro Heaven cultivators die because of him.

Moreover, he understood that even if he didn’t stand out, the outcome might still be the same. Among the ten thousand cultivators of Faro Heaven, not everyone had the backbone. Once Xihua Immortal Venerable started killing again, someone would definitely point him out.

"Kill you? Haha, little brat, if I kill you directly, wouldn’t that be a bargain for you?" Xihua Immortal Venerable sneered, then returned to his cold expression: "I’ll spare your life for now. First, let’s settle some accounts properly!"
