The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Demand the Jing Family to Hand Over the Person Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Demand the Jing Family to Hand Over the Person Donglin City Lord’s Mansion, within an exquisite and luxurious separate courtyard.

“Boom!”

A loud sound of an item being violently shattered suddenly erupted.

“How dare you kill my disciple!

How dare you kill my Cang Long disciple!

Good, very good, I, Cang Long, will make your entire family pay with their lives!”

“Swoosh!”

After the roaring, a figure rushed out furiously.

This was an old man dressed in a gray robe, looking quite old, with a face full of wrinkles that now bore an extremely terrifying expression.

Within his eyes, a deep red burned angrily with flames leaping violently.

He was Cang Long, the Outer Court Deacon of the Divine Wind Academy, a martial artist at the Peak of the Innate Realm.

“Mr.

Cang Long…” An armored guard from the City Lord Mansion swiftly approached, intending to ask what had happened.

“Get out of the way!” Amidst his fury, Cang Long waved his hand, sending the armored guard flying.

Then, he sped off in a certain direction.

Of course, he wasn’t heading directly to the Jing Family.

Although he didn’t take a small Jing Family seriously, as a martial artist at the Peak of the Innate Realm, if he were to go to the Jing Family Mansion alone and engage in combat, he would certainly be the one to die in the end.

It was well-known within the Jing Family that there were also two martial artists at the Peak of the Innate Realm, and several at the Late Innate Stage.

Did he, Cang Long, dare to go there and act wildly?

Though overtaken by anger, he had not lost his rationality.

The place Cang Long was headed to was the inner courtyard of the City Lord Mansion.

Moments later, the extremely enraged Cang Long arrived at a separate courtyard within the inner courtyard.

“City Lord Chen Bing!” Cang Long shouted loudly!

Even the buildings of the separate courtyard trembled slightly from his shout.

Cang Long, with his Primordial Energy bursting forth, had a heavy and intense aura.

“Whoosh!” A dark red figure flickered out from within the room.

This man was Chen Bing.

However, he was only the Deputy City Lord of Donglin City.

The City Lord of Donglin City had already left for Lanqu County City half a month ago, as the Three Major Academies’ recruitment of students was a major event for the entire Lanqu County, and thus the Donglin City Lord had to go to the Prince Manor to follow the orders of the Prince.

Now, the responsibility of receiving Cang Long and others from Lanqu County City fell to Deputy City Lord Chen Bing.

Within Lanqu County, most cities had both a City Lord and a Deputy City Lord managing the city together.

Of course, a few cities were led by a single City Lord alone, such as Duyang City, which was controlled solely by City Lord Bai Xue.

“Deacon Cang Long?

What’s going on?

What happened?” When Chen Bing came out of the room and saw Cang Long’s expression, he was also slightly taken aback.

Why was Cang Long so angry?

These days, he had treated Cang Long and others from the Three Major Academies with the utmost respect, and there was no place where they were slighted.

As the Deputy City Lord, he naturally hoped that more Donglin City Martial Artists would take part in the assessments of the Three Major Academies.

“City Lord Chen Bing!”

“Suo Wen is dead!

My disciple, Suo Wen, is dead!” Cang Long’s entire body shook massively.

“Hmm?” City Lord Chen Bing was taken aback.

He had not yet received the news of Suo Wen’s beheading.

Chen Bing knew about Suo Wen and the others setting up an arena outside the Jing Family Mansion to challenge the Jing Family.

He did not attempt to stop them, for he felt it had nothing to do with him.

At most, it would damage the Jing Family’s face, but so what?

Now, hearing Mr.

Cang Long’s words, Chen Bing was certainly shocked because he had never considered the possibility that Suo Wen would die.

In his view, the Jing Family would certainly be aware of the connections behind Suo Wen, so they would definitely not dare to take action against him.

Now, Cang Long was saying that Suo Wen was dead.

How did he die?

Could it be that the Jing Family couldn’t hold back and took action?

“City Lord Chen Bing, what should we do about this?

That brat from the Jing Family killed my disciple Suo Wen.

You tell me, what should be done!” Cang Long said slowly, his voice low and sinister.

“That brat from the Jing Family?

Who is it?

Who killed Suo Wen?” Chen Bing’s eyes sharpened again.

He was aware of Suo Wen’s strength—Mid-Stage Innate Realm Cultivation.

Within the Jing Family, there were only a few martial artists capable of killing Suo Wen.

Cang Long said it was that brat from the Jing Family who killed Suo Wen.

If the Jing Family Patriarch or an elder had taken action personally, Cang Long wouldn’t address them in such a way, would he?

“It’s a bastard called Jing Yan!

City Lord Chen Bing, do you know of this bastard?” Cang Long’s gaze was icy and fierce.

At this point, he still had not remembered who Jing Yan was; he had forgotten that he personally oversaw Jing Yan’s expulsion from Divine Wind Academy.

With too many students at Divine Wind Academy, even as a martial artist of the Peak Innate Realm with extraordinary memory, it was impossible to remember every single individual.

“Jing Yan?”

“That Jing Yan who was expelled from Divine Wind Academy?” Chen Bing turned to Cang Long.

“Hmm?” When Cang Long heard this, his thoughts turned quickly, and he remembered.

Last year, the student he expelled had the name Jing Yan.

That’s right, he was indeed a young martial artist from Donglin City.

But how was this possible?

That Jing Yan, although he had stepped into the Innate Realm, his realm continuously plummeted afterward.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been expelled from Divine Wind Academy.

Could this person kill his own disciple Suo Wen?

Thoughts raced in his mind, and Cang Long couldn’t make sense of it.

Even if Jing Yan’s realm hadn’t fallen, he still couldn’t be a match for his disciple Suo Wen, right?

“Deacon Cang Long, this Jing Yan holds a certain legendary status in Donglin City.

Almost everyone knows of him.

After being expelled from Divine Wind Academy and returning to the Jing Family in Donglin City, everyone thought he would fade into obscurity.

But unexpectedly, he rose again at an astonishingly fast pace, reclaiming his position at the recent Jing Family competition, securing the top spot, and even defeating an Innate Martial Artist named Jing Tianlong from the Red Lotus Academy,” explained Chen Bing to Cang Long.

“Hmph, I don’t care who he is; I want him dead!

And the Jing Family must pay a bloody price.

One Jing Yan, even if he dies a hundred times, it is not enough to make up for the life of my disciple Suo Wen.

City Lord Chen Bing, I want an explanation.

My disciple died in Donglin City.

Are you going to take care of this matter or not?” Cang Long stared at Chen Bing.

He had heard Chen Bing’s words but still did not believe that Jing Yan could kill Suo Wen.

He suspected that the Jing Family’s higher-ups must have played a role behind the scenes!

Chen Bing’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Cang Long’s words were a bit impolite.

Damn it, just because his disciple died in Donglin City, was he supposed to be responsible for it?

If it wasn’t for his disciple Suo Wen provoking the Jing Family, would that Jing Yan come to the City Lord’s Mansion to kill his disciple?

Although he felt some displeasure internally, no dissatisfaction showed on Chen Bing’s face.

This Cang Long was not just an Outer Court Deacon of the Divine Wind Academy; he also had an incredibly influential brother named Cang Yu, a figure even Chen Bing could not truly afford to provoke, a Pill Master.

So, even with discontent in his heart, he had to endure it.

Chen Bing smiled at Cang Long.

“Deacon Cang Long, don’t be in a hurry.

I’ll have someone go to the Jing Family and talk to the Jing Family Patriarch right away.

Let the Jing Family Patriarch, Jing Chengye, bring that Jing Yan over tomorrow morning, and you shall decide how he is to be dealt with.

Hehe, if the Jing Family really do not know better, I will surely provide you with an explanation,” Chen Bing chuckled nervously, seeking to reassure Cang Long.

Chen Bing also knew that asking the Jing Family to hand over a prodigy like Jing Yan would certainly cause discontent within the Jing Family.

But, compared to the dissatisfaction of Cang Long, the discontent of the Jing Family meant nothing.
