The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2451: Chapter 2451: The City Lord Arrives

Jing Yan definitely wouldn’t allow the Red-Clothed Killing Star to kill people inside Hongmeng City, let alone the fact that the targets are members of the Thunder Domain.

Suddenly stood up!

The killing intent in Jing Yan’s eyes intensified even more.

"I understand now! Your Guard personnel don’t need to do anything, just instruct them to stay away from the Red-Clothed Killing Star." Jing Yan sent a message to Shi Tianshuo.

Although Shi Tianshuo and the others were not true Immortal Venerable, they were considered strong in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, and Jing Yan certainly did not want Shi Tianshuo and the others to be lost in vain.

"Wuxia, I’m going!" Jing Yan said to Wuxia.

"Okay!" Wuxia nodded.

She had no intention of following Jing Yan. Her strength was still too low. If she went, it would only add trouble. She also knew Jing Yan’s strength, a few Red-Clothed Killing Stars couldn’t threaten Jing Yan.

Jing Yan flashed several times, left the Hongmeng Pill Tower, and his Divine Thought spread out, covering the entire Hongmeng City.

The five Red-Clothed Killing Stars were currently preparing to besiege Luo Hao.

Jing Yan’s Divine Thought clearly saw the five Red-Clothed Killing Stars of the Yama Palace and perceived their Divine Power fluctuation and aura changes. Jing Yan originally did not want to clash with the Yama Palace so soon, but now it was unavoidable. Seeing that the Yama Palace is chasing and killing Thunder Domain members, this force is obviously one of the enemies of the Thunder Domain.

...

"It seems City Lord Jing Yan really won’t step in."

"Even the City Guard has shrunk back, not daring to show their face."

"Ha ha, I thought City Lord Jing Yan was so powerful, but it seems that’s all. When it comes to truly troublesome matters, he also chooses to retreat." Someone sneered.

This person was a spy from Tiger Roar City. Obviously, this spy began to disparage Jing Yan and Hongmeng City according to his superior’s instructions.

As for the spy’s words, other cultivators and adventurers did not refute, because this was indeed a fact. Up until now, even the City Guard had not shown up.

"But if City Lord Jing Yan doesn’t stop the people from the Yama Palace from fighting, how will he maintain the rules of Hongmeng City in the future?" Someone frowned.

"What’s so difficult about that? Just say the Red-Clothed Killing Stars were here when he wasn’t in the city." Someone immediately said.

Everyone thought about it, and it truly was a good excuse.

"Boom!"

The Red-Clothed Killing Star made a move, and five light curtains blasted out, carrying terrifying power, sweeping towards Luo Hao and Peng Qiuping.

Both sides knew their enemies very well, so the first strike was a killing blow without any probing. The Red-Clothed Killing Star had already tried to persuade Luo Hao to join the Yama Palace many times, but Luo Hao never hesitated in his refusal. Knowing it was impossible for Luo Hao to surrender, they aimed to kill him as swiftly as possible to complete their mission.

Violent power caused intense disturbances in the space.

One shockwave passed, and not just the Four-direction Guest Restaurant but also other buildings were destroyed. Various Formation light curtains collapsed, nearby buildings crumbled, and dust flew around under the violent Divine Power.

The observing cultivators kept retreating, activating their Divine Power to protect themselves, trying their best to avoid getting affected. They stopped discussing aloud, just watching the battle through the overwhelming dust with their eyes.

Flashes of purple Thunder Light occasionally flickered, accompanied by loud noises, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

"Yama Palace, such a mighty presence!"

As the five Red-Clothed Killing Stars and Luo Hao collided with full force, a voice echoed.

"Hmm?"

The faces of the Red-Clothed Killing Stars changed, their gazes met, and their figures paused. They simultaneously turned their eyes in the same direction in the sky, the direction the voice had come from.

Sure enough, a black silhouette became clear, with a young face carrying a cold smile.

Luo Hao and Peng Qiuping gasped heavily; although the confrontation was brief, Luo Hao had sustained some new wounds. He had given it his all, but couldn’t fend off the assault from the five Red-Clothed Killing Stars of the Yama Palace.

The newly appeared cultivator offered him a slight chance to catch his breath. Like the Red-Clothed Killing Stars, Luo Hao and Peng Qiuping also looked up at the approaching black figure in the sky.

"It’s City Lord Jing Yan!"

"City Lord Jing Yan is here, he’s here!"

"Just now someone said City Lord Jing Yan wouldn’t show up, wouldn’t care about the Yama Palace’s Red-Clothed Killing Star killing people."

"Now look! Ha ha, City Lord Jing Yan’s reputation isn’t just for show."

The cultivators were invigorated upon seeing Jing Yan. For many, City Lord Jing Yan was already a symbol of spirit, especially for loose cultivators without a background. City Lord Jing Yan was an idol in their hearts. If City Lord Jing Yan didn’t appear, they would be disappointed. But City Lord Jing Yan did appear, and facing as many as five Red-Clothed Killing Stars from the Yama Palace, he didn’t retreat.

"Who are you?" The Red-Clothed Killing Star Kang Linyue glared at Jing Yan and asked.

In fact, the moment they saw Jing Yan, they knew who he was. However, they still deliberately asked with a hint of disdain.

"You come to my city and ask who I am?" Jing Yan looked at Kang Linyue coldly.

"Ha ha, are you the City Lord Jing Yan of Hongmeng City?" The Red-Clothed Killing Star Wang Jie stared at Jing Yan and said.

"Yes, I am Jing Yan. I heard the Yama Palace is powerful, with numerous strong individuals. Today’s encounter is indeed impressive. A single move from you, and there are five Immortal Venerate Peak Realm experts on display. That Golden Toad Commerce and Eight Gods Pill Sect can’t compare at all!" Jing Yan said with a faint smile.

As Jing Yan spoke, his gaze had also swept over Luo Hao and Peng Qiuping. Seeing Luo Hao, Jing Yan confirmed that Luo Hao was a member of the Thunder Domain. The aura on Luo Hao was familiar to Jing Yan, and around his body, there were traces of purple Thunder Light still lingering. Though different from the Thunder Origin, it was derived from the Thunder Origin Immortal Skill.

"Senior Brother, City Lord Jing Yan actually stepped in." Peng Qiuping transmitted sound to Luo Hao.

The two had never expected City Lord Jing Yan to appear, let alone help them. What were they? Just remnants of the Thunder Domain. For their sake, would City Lord Jing Yan become an enemy of the Yama Palace? That was unthinkable.

They had been chased by five Red-Clothed Killing Stars from the Yama Palace, passing through several cities, but they never entered any of them. Their identities had already been exposed; if they entered those cities, the city’s top officials wouldn’t help them and would only collaborate with the Yama Palace’s Red-Clothed Killing Stars to eliminate them.

"Hmm!" Luo Hao transmitted sound.

"Senior Brother, do you think City Lord Jing Yan will help us? I’ve heard City Lord Jing Yan’s personal strength is formidable, probably at the Immortal Venerable Peak. If he’s willing to help us, with the support of the city’s Big Array, we might still have a chance to survive." Peng Qiuping’s transmitted sound trembled.

What seemed to be a situation of certain death found a turning point with the appearance of City Lord Jing Yan.
