The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2396: Chapter 2396: You Have Quite the Nerve

Lord Chief Mi Yiran and two Guardian Elders instinctively believed that it was two advanced ticket area cultivators from Faro Heaven who were killed by Xihua Immortal Venerable. Therefore, when they heard the manager say the person killed was Xihua Immortal Venerable, their expressions immediately became quite extraordinary.

"What did you say?" Lord Chief Mi Yiran asked in astonishment.

"Lord Chief, that Xihua Immortal Venerable has been killed, right at the gambling platform in the low-level ticket area, under the watchful eyes of everyone." The manager exhaled and said.

"How is this possible!" Mi Yiran suddenly stood up.

He looked at the two Guardian Elders and said in shock, "Xihua Immortal Venerable is at the late-stage Immortal Venerable realm, with countless treasures on him. Even if those two cultivators from Faro Heaven are truly in the Immortal Venerable realm, they couldn’t possibly kill Xihua Immortal Venerable."

"What the Lord Chief said makes sense." The two Guardian Elders nodded.

"My lords, Xihua Immortal Venerable was killed in one move by that cultivator from Faro Heaven," the manager couldn’t help but interject.

Xihua Immortal Venerable in front of that Faro Heaven cultivator was simply insignificant, without even the ability to resist. The Faro Heaven cultivator just pointed a finger at Xihua Immortal Venerable, and a sword light shaped halo obliterated Xihua Immortal Venerable’s entire head.

"Hmm? One move... instant... kill?" Lord Chief Mi Yiran felt his brain was somewhat insufficient.

"Lord Chief, it’s best to go and see for yourself!" a Guardian Elder said with a heavy tone.

Xihua Immortal Venerable being killed is definitely a major event.

The formidable being behind Xihua Immortal Venerable surely wouldn’t let this go unchallenged. This matter is not something that a single Heavenly Domain Flying Boat can resolve. If Xihua Immortal Venerable truly is dead, they must quickly contact the headquarters in Kunling Heaven, so the high-ranking members there can prepare for any changes that might occur.

With the energy of Tianji Trading House, there is naturally no fear of that ancient Immortal Venerable in Eastern Marvel Heaven, but the energy of that Immortal Venerable should not be underestimated. If a proper explanation is not given, it might affect Tianji Trading House’s future business in Eastern Marvel Heaven.

"Yes, I’ll go to the gambling platform to check!" Lord Chief Mi Yiran nodded.

"Lord Chief, we’ll go with you," said the two Guardian Elders.

Those two cultivators from Faro Heaven who could kill Xihua Immortal Venerable might not be easy to deal with. Relying on just the Lord Chief alone might not be sufficient.

Mi Yiran and the two Guardian Elders immediately left the room and headed to the gambling platform in the low-level ticket area.

Near the low-level ticket gambling platform.

"Those managers, come over here!" Jing Yan waved to Manager Qi and the others.

The managers on the flying boat looked at each other. They felt as if their feet were as heavy as a thousand pounds. Their hearts were extremely apprehensive, but since the terrifying figure who killed Xihua Immortal Venerable had called them over, they couldn’t pretend they didn’t hear.

Manager Qi took the lead, and the several managers walked over slowly.

Looking at the expressions of these flying boat managers, Jing Yan displayed a faint smile.

"Now let’s talk about the matter of the Heavenly Domain gambling."

"To my knowledge, before the gamble between Faro Heaven and Eastern Marvel Heaven began, many Faro Heaven cultivators placed bets. And in this gamble, Faro Heaven’s Xu Yiming won, meaning that the cultivators from Faro Heaven should receive their corresponding stakes. Managers, am I right?" Jing Yan smiled warmly.

"Yes, my lord, that’s indeed the case," Manager Qi responded respectfully.

"Originally, according to normal procedures, now the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat should complete the payouts to the Faro Heaven betting cultivators. But because Xihua Immortal Venerable from Eastern Marvel Heaven suddenly intervened, many Faro Heaven cultivators still haven’t received the stakes they should have gotten. Even their principal amount is still in your Heavenly Domain Flying Boat’s hands," Jing Yan continued.

"Exactly, it’s Xihua Immortal Venerable..." Manager Qi wanted to say that it was Xihua Immortal Venerable who prevented the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat from paying the Faro Heaven cultivators’ stakes.

Jing Yan raised his hand, interrupting the explanation Manager Qi was about to make.

"You don’t have to tell me these things," Jing Yan said. "That Xihua Immortal Venerable wasn’t a member of Tianji Trading House. Does your Tianji Trading House’s Heavenly Domain Flying Boat need to listen to his orders to do business?"

Jing Yan’s voice became much lower.

The faces of several managers turned unsightly, this was indeed awkward. And for the problem Jing Yan mentioned, they couldn’t even come up with a reasonable explanation.

Before Jing Yan intervened, they naturally didn’t have to give any explanation. The people of Faro Heaven, under the pressure of Xihua Immortal Venerable, didn’t even have the guts to demand anything from the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat.

But now, the situation was different.

This is how the world is: whoever has the bigger fist can calmly reason. And those in a weaker position are not qualified to ask the other side to reason. Previously, the Faro Heaven cultivators were an absolutely weak group.

"Our people from Faro Heaven spent a lot of resources purchasing your Heavenly Domain Flying Boat tickets. And yet, your Heavenly Domain Flying Boat didn’t fulfill its obligations as it should. Your behavior has already caused some loss to the Faro Heaven cultivators.

"So I demand that the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat must compensate the Faro Heaven cultivators. I believe that double compensation of the stakes is relatively reasonable," Jing Yan said with narrowed eyes.

He already saw a few figures emerging from the passage, their aura very substantial, but he did not interrupt what he was saying. As those people approached, he finished his words.

"Such bold demands!" These cultivators who had just emerged from the passage were none other than Lord Chief Mi Yiran and the two Guardian Elders from the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat.

Mi Yiran heard Jing Yan demanding the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat make compensation and sneered coldly on the spot.

Jing Yan turned his gaze to Mi Yiran and the others.

"And who are you?" Jing Yan asked while looking toward them.

In fact, Jing Yan had already guessed the identities of these people; it was easy to guess. Xihua Immortal Venerable being killed would certainly have immediately alerted the high-level characters on this Heavenly Domain Flying Boat. And the high-level figures on the flying boat couldn’t possibly ignore Xihua Immortal Venerable’s death. They were bound to step forward, so Jing Yan knew the arrivals were high-level members of Tianji Trading House on the flying boat.

Though he guessed their identities, Jing Yan still deliberately inquired about their identities.

"I am Mi Yiran, the Lord Chief of this Heavenly Domain Flying Boat! These two are the flying boat’s Guardian Elders," Mi Yiran stated, fixing his gaze on Jing Yan and identifying himself while pointing out the two beside him as the flying boat’s Guardian Elders.

His eyes glanced past Jing Yan’s position to see the headless corpse at the back. Even without a head, Mi Yiran immediately recognized that the corpse was Xihua Immortal Venerable.
