The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2562: Chapter 2562: Grandmaster Lan Zan

One must understand, Jing Yan already possesses profound comprehension of the Space-Time path; the highest level Space-time Laws existing in the Heavenly Domain are almost incapable of perplexing him.

Of course Jing Yan does not dare claim that he has mastered all Space-Time Dao Techniques, but even for those he has yet to fully comprehend, he is certainly not unfamiliar.

Yet what exists upon this Beast Skin letter is something that even makes Jing Yan feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

Merely this faint Dao Rhythm Law is enough to move Jing Yan.

The content of the letter is very simple, only one sentence: Tianbei Sect’s Lan Zan invites City Lord Jing Yan to come to the Sect for a talk.

This name Lan Zan, Jing Yan is quite familiar with; this person is precisely the Great Sect Master of Tianbei Sect. Tianbei Sect can be counted as the most low-profile Superpower in Kunling Heaven, and Grandmaster Lan Zan is exactly the leader of this most low-profile Superpower.

"City Lord, what does the letter from Tianbei Sect say?" Bai Han saw Jing Yan’s expression grow solemn and spoke up to ask.

Jing Yan handed the letter to Bai Han.

After Bai Han read it, a confused expression also surfaced. He said, "What does the Great Sect Master of Tianbei Sect mean by this? At such a time, he invites you, City Lord, to Tianbei Sect for a talk? City Lord, could there be some conspiracy hidden within?"

Bai Han’s meaning was, might Tianbei Sect have set a trap, waiting for Jing Yan to walk into it.

"The likelihood of that is not high. Tianbei Sect has no particularly deep entanglements with powers such as Yama Palace. Moreover, our intelligence department has not discovered any top experts of the various major powers going to Tianbei Sect, have they?" Jing Yan said.

"Mm, indeed we have not had such a discovery. However, in the past we have proactively approached Tianbei Sect many times, and Tianbei Sect has always maintained a stance of keeping its distance. Now, why would they suddenly invite you, City Lord, to go to their Sect?" Bai Han frowned.

"This trip, I must make." Jing Yan pondered for a short while, then arrived at a decision.

Regardless of what purpose Lan Zan Sect Master of Tianbei Sect may have, just for the Dao Rhythm Law contained within this letter, Jing Yan has no choice but to go once.

"Then I’ll summon Xu Yiming and the others over," Bai Han immediately said.

Xu Yiming, at present, has also nearly reached Late-stage Venerable Immortal Cultivation. At this realm, if he does not rely on Soul Techniques, then Xu Yiming’s Combat Power is not strong. But with Soul Techniques in hand, even a first-rate powerhouse among Immortal Venerable Peak Practitioners might, by one careless move, die in Xu Yiming’s hands. This is the terror of the Soul Cultivator.

And under Xu Yiming, there is already a Soul Cultivator team of considerable size.

Bai Han’s intention was to have Xu Yiming and the others accompany Jing Yan to Tianbei Sect.

"No need, it’s unnecessary. Bai Han, you continue preparing for the great battle to come shortly, while I head to Tianbei Sect at once. If all goes smoothly, I will return to Hongmeng City in three to four months." Jing Yan said to Grand Steward Bai Han.

Jing Yan departed from Hongmeng City, exited the Thunder Domain, without alarming too many people.

Using only a bit more than one month, Jing Yan arrived outside the headquarters of Tianbei Sect. Jing Yan’s speed on the road is, naturally, much faster than that of an ordinary Immortal Venerable Peak Practitioner. He did not wish to waste time, and throughout the journey he flew at his fastest speed.

Within Kunling Heaven, most powers possess their own main city, whether Superpowers or ordinary forces. Their headquarters are mostly located within a city. Tianbei Sect, however, is not like this. Tianbei Sect also has many cities in the Heavenly Domain, and likewise has a single most important main city. Yet Tianbei Sect’s headquarters is not within a city, but in a continuous mountain range at the city’s edge.

Just as Jing Yan lifted the restriction protecting Tianbei Sect’s headquarters, before he even entered the mountain range, a Cultivator in the Immortal Venerate Realm appeared before him. This person had a fat head and big ears, an oily face shining, a beaming smile, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Might you be City Lord Jing Yan?" This person greeted Jing Yan from afar.

"I am Jing Yan." Jing Yan looked at him and responded.

"I pay my respects to City Lord Jing Yan. I am Miao Tang of Tianbei Sect, ordered by the Great Sect Master to await and receive you here, City Lord." Miao Tang bowed slightly to Jing Yan as he spoke.

"Much obliged." Jing Yan clasped his hands in return.

This Miao Tang’s realm is Late Stage Immortal Venerable, his aura not considered extremely strong.

"City Lord Jing Yan, please follow me. The Great Sect Master is already waiting for you." Miao Tang spoke and turned around, taking the lead in front, while Jing Yan followed closely behind.

Upon entering the core grounds of Tianbei Sect, Jing Yan felt no ominous premonitions in his heart. With Cultivation having reached Jing Yan’s level, and with his partial comprehension of Fate Dao Method, if Tianbei Sect had set a snare waiting for him, then even if Jing Yan sensed nothing before arriving at Tianbei Sect’s headquarters, once he entered the headquarters’ heartland he would definitely feel alarmed.

The fact that there were no warning signs now indicated that this trip should not entail major danger.

Miao Tang led Jing Yan to a pavilion. Within the pavilion, a bald elder was seated.

"Great Sect Master, City Lord Jing Yan has arrived." Miao Tang saluted the elder and spoke.

Only then did the bald elder turn around. His eyes were bright as his gaze landed on Jing Yan, and a faint smile surfaced on his face.

"City Lord Jing Yan, please take a seat!" This Great Sect Master of Tianbei Sect, Lan Zan, gestured invitingly toward Jing Yan as he spoke.

Jing Yan entered the pavilion and sat opposite Grandmaster Lan Zan. As for Miao Tang, he had already quietly withdrawn.

"I have long heard of City Lord Jing Yan’s name. To see you today, truly, hearing cannot compare to meeting in person." Grandmaster Lan Zan said with a smile.

"Sect Master praises me too highly. I have already received the Great Sect Master’s letter. I do not know for what matter the Great Sect Master wished me to come over?" Jing Yan asked directly.

In his heart, Jing Yan was concerned about the Alliance Army headed by Yama Palace; he did not wish to leave the Thunder Domain for too long. Thus, upon meeting Grandmaster Lan Zan, he very straightforwardly inquired about the other’s purpose. Jing Yan’s understanding of Grandmaster Lan Zan is not extensive, and he is even less clear about Lan Zan’s attitude.

However, sitting opposite Grandmaster Lan Zan at this moment, Jing Yan felt something subtle in his heart. For this Grandmaster Lan Zan’s strength seems somewhat beyond expectations. Though they had not yet exchanged blows, how powerful is Jing Yan’s Divine Soul and his various senses? In Jing Yan’s view, Lan Zan’s strength is probably not inferior to that Hou Yang Immortal Venerable. That is to say, Lan Zan’s strength may exceed that of other Superpower leaders by one whole tier.

"I know City Lord Jing Yan is anxious. Yama Palace, Tianji Trading House, Eight Gods Pill Sect, and other forces have joined hands, seeking to annihilate Hongmeng City. If I were in City Lord Jing Yan’s position, I would likely be just as agitated. City Lord Jing Yan’s power is incomparably formidable; within the Immortal Venerate Realm, I fear no one in the entire Immortal Domain can rival City Lord Jing Yan. Yet Yama Palace and the others have too many experts. City Lord Jing Yan alone may find it difficult to take care of everything." Grandmaster Lan Zan spoke at length.

"Could it be that Tianbei Sect is willing to lend Hongmeng City a helping hand?" Jing Yan’s eyes lit up.

If Tianbei Sect were to join, then Leiyu Hongmeng City’s hope of defeating the enemy would significantly Zeng Jia. Especially after seeing Lan Zan and having a clearer sense of his true strength, Jing Yan became all the more certain of this idea.
