Chapter 2539: Chapter 2539: Promises Kept
To master the Immortal Venerable Tower is a great honor and also a form of power.
Therefore, when Master Ru Yueyi received Jing Yan’s message, he did not hesitate for long before agreeing to Jing Yan’s request. For Master Ru Yueyi, although taking over the Immortal Venerable Tower would offend Diao Rong Heavenly Lord who was expelled by Jing Yan, it was an opportunity that brought multiple benefits.
"Master Ru, capable people take on more work. In the Heavenly Domain, there are not many who qualify to manage the Immortal Venerable Tower. The first person I thought of was you, Master Ru Yueyi," Jing Yan said with a smile.
"City Lord Jing Yan’s words are pleasing to the ears. In that case, I will not hypocritically decline. I will take command of Kunling Heaven’s Immortal Venerable Tower for now until City Lord Jing Yan wishes to assume control," Master Ru Yueyi said, his eyes slightly bright.
Master Ru Yueyi is a wise man.
He clearly understands why Jing Yan wants to hand over the authority to manage the Immortal Venerable Tower. He believes that once City Lord Jing Yan and Hongmeng City have enough power, they will surely regain control of the Immortal Venerable Tower.
But Jing Yan shook his head and said, "Master Ru, I know your character. To be honest, I trust you."
"The Immortal Venerable Tower is important; it’s indispensable to any powerful force, even those second and third-tier forces. However, I personally do not necessarily need to control the Immortal Venerable Tower myself. If it weren’t for Diao Rong Heavenly Lord’s previous aggression and excessive bullying, I wouldn’t have acted this way. Moving forward, with the tower in your hands, unless something unexpected occurs, I won’t reclaim it," Jing Yan earnestly said.
"City Lord Jing Yan does not want it, then I will manage it. If City Lord Jing Yan desires it, I will return it immediately," Master Ru Yueyi’s words, like Jing Yan’s, also served as a promise, indicating he would not forcibly occupy the Immortal Venerable Tower.
"Master Ru, Xu Yiming of my Hongmeng City is still inside the Immortal Venerable Tower. As for me, there is a matter I need to handle," Jing Yan turned to say.
Xu Yiming had entered the Immortal Venerable Tower for over a month; normally he would soon be coming out. However, Jing Yan did not need to wait here for Xu Yiming to leave the tower, so he planned to take this opportunity to leave the Thunder Domain to resolve a matter.
"Rest assured, City Lord Jing Yan, I will keep an eye on him," Ru Yueyi nodded.
"Thank you, Master Ru," Jing Yan cupped his hand towards Ru Yueyi.
Ru Yueyi also cupped his hand in return, watching as Jing Yan disappeared from sight.
After leaving the Immortal Venerable Tower, Jing Yan deliberately concealed his appearance. Currently, he is very famous in Kunling Heaven, and many cultivators have seen him and he did not want to cause trouble, so he chose to hide his face. He headed to a large city not far from the Immortal Venerable Tower and boarded a Heavenly Domain Flying Boat.
His destination this time was the Sect of Uncertainty.
When Xing Enyang, Song Chen, and other Pill Masters joined Hongmeng Pill Tower, Jing Yan promised them that he would avenge them.
Xing Enyang, Song Chen, and others originally belonged to a pill force called Dongyu Dao Pill Sect. Dongyu Dao Pill Sect was destroyed by the Sect of Uncertainty, leaving only Xing Enyang and a dozen others from a pill sect alive.
Jing Yan had promised that when the opportunity arose, he would eradicate the Sect of Uncertainty. Xing Enyang and others might have thought City Lord Jing Yan was speaking casually, not taking it seriously and not daring to take it seriously. However, Jing Yan will not forget his promise; he said he would avenge Xing Enyang and others, and he surely will.
This departure from the Thunder Domain is the perfect opportunity to handle this matter.
It’s just that the Sect of Uncertainty is very far from the Thunder Domain, and the journey could take some time; Instantaneous Movement cannot be used in Kunling Heaven. Fortunately, the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat is very fast.
Three months later.
Jing Yan, dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, appeared in Laidu Territory of Kunling Heaven. Laidu Territory is considered one of the relatively impoverished regions within Kunling Heaven. Those superpowers are not very interested in Laidu Territory.
The Sect of Uncertainty controls the forces within Laidu Territory.
Within Laidu Territory, there are over a hundred Divine Continents. These hundred Divine Continents are directly or indirectly governed by the Sect of Uncertainty.
Laidu Territory covers a vast area, but due to its relative impoverishment, it is difficult to find Black Crystal Stone ore veins in this region. Even when ore veins are found, they are mostly small veins. If it weren’t for this, a vast area like Laidu Territory would not be controlled by the Sect of Uncertainty alone. The Sect of Uncertainty lacks the capability to compete with superpowers.
In fact, the Sect of Uncertainty is only a very ordinary first-rate power. Even relatively strong first-rate powers are not something the Sect of Uncertainty can provoke.
The main city of the Sect of Uncertainty is called Andong City, and this city is the stronghold of the Sect of Uncertainty.
Upon entering Laidu Territory, the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat will no longer proceed, so Jing Yan had to rely on himself to fly to Andong City.
"This Laidu Territory is indeed much more impoverished and cannot compare to the Thunder Domain," Jing Yan commented as he observed the situation in Laidu Territory while flying.
The Thunder Domain is one of the most fertile regions within Kunling Heaven; otherwise, it wouldn’t attract multiple superpowers vying for it.
Within Laidu Territory, the number of cultivators is relatively sparse. As Jing Yan flew over the wilderness, occasionally spotting some cultivators, their strength was not impressive.
Jing Yan did not immediately enter Andong City; instead, he first circled around areas near Andong City where there were congregations of cultivators.
His purpose in doing so was to scout out the Sect of Uncertainty’s situation.
The mere Sect of Uncertainty is nothing in Jing Yan’s eyes. He investigated the Sect of Uncertainty not because he feared it might have some formidable backing. Rather, Jing Yan wanted to ascertain whether the Sect of Uncertainty is essentially an evil force. Through Xing Enyang and others, Jing Yan understood that the Sect of Uncertainty was evil, but he didn’t want to act purely on their words and do something he’d regret later.
Simply put, if the Sect of Uncertainty turned out to be a relatively righteous force, then Jing Yan wouldn’t destroy it – at most, he’d investigate why the Sect of Uncertainty destroyed Dongyu Dao Pill Sect back then. However, if the Sect of Uncertainty was truly evil, then Jing Yan wouldn’t show mercy. Eliminating an evil first-rate force would not weigh on his conscience.
After some investigation, Jing Yan confirmed that the Sect of Uncertainty was indeed no good. From the information Jing Yan gathered, it was clear that the Sect of Uncertainty had destroyed three weaker forces in the last few tens of thousands of years. The Sect of Uncertainty is practically a powerful robber organization.
Through inquiries, Jing Yan also found out about the destruction of Dongyu Dao Pill Sect by the Sect of Uncertainty. Dongyu Dao Pill Sect, being an alchemical force, was relatively wealthy, and the Sect of Uncertainty coveted their riches. They fabricated an excuse, gathered their forces, and leveled Dongyu Dao Pill Sect overnight. The wealth accumulated by Dongyu Dao Pill Sect was naturally plundered by the Sect of Uncertainty.
