The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 362: 362 Chapter 362: 362 Jing Yan did not pursue the fleeing martial artists below the Innate Realm.

However, for those above the Innate Realm, he would not spare a single one.

The martial artists of the Innate Realm posed a significant threat to the Jing Family.

A short while later, the outcome of this noisy war finally became overwhelmingly clear.

The entire battlefield gradually quieted down.

On the streets, the bodies of warriors from both camps were scattered.

“Clan Leader!”

Jing Yan approached Jing Chengye.

“Now, lock down Donglin City and execute any martial artist from the Zhao Family faction on sight!”

“Understood!”

“Fourth Elder, take the other elders to assist the Lin Family Patriarch; I’ll take care of locking down the city,” Jing Chengye commanded, then turned to Jing Tianying.

The Lin Family and the Cai Family were also engaged in fierce combat.

The Lin Family Patriarch, accompanied by many experts from the Lin Family, was initially on his way to the Jing Family Mansion, but halfway there, they were intercepted by a group of formidable fighters led by Cai Yunjian.

Their clash was yet to conclude.

With the fighting at the Jing Family Mansion nearly over, the next step was to eliminate the Cai Family as well.

With that done, there would be little possibility of significant unrest in Donglin City.

Once they had control of the situation, they could then slowly settle accounts with the family forces that had defected from the Jing Family.

Previously, it had been the Zhao Family locking down the city, cutting down anyone from the Jing Family or the Lin Family who tried to leave.

Now, the Jing Family needed to lock down the city to eliminate any remnants of the Zhao Family.

Although initiating the lockdown now was certainly late, and many martial artists from the Zhao Family had already escaped, these were in the minority.

Those who were alive wouldn’t be able to cause much trouble and would not affect the overall situation.

In the future, the Jing Family would undoubtedly rise rapidly, and the remnants of the Zhao Family would be even less of a concern.

“Chief Manager Shi Xuan, Chief Manager Qin Yu, thank you very much!”

With both Jing Chengye and Jing Tianying taking off to handle their respective tasks, Jing Yan was left as the representative of the Jing Family.

So, on behalf of the Jing Family, Jing Yan extended his gratitude to Shi Xuan and Qin Yu.

Both Shi Xuan and Qin Yu bore injuries; Shi Xuan’s were minor, while Qin Yu’s were severe — he was missing an arm.

Nevertheless, both were clearly elated.

Both had resolved themselves for death and had not expected the situation to turn around.

Now they had survived, and it was the Zhao Family that had been eradicated.

After exchanging a few pleasantries.

“Chief Manager Shi Xuan, how is the City Lord’s Wife doing now?” Jing Yan had heard from Zhao Dangyuan that she was in a terrible situation, apparently being held under house arrest by that scoundrel Chen Bing.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s question, Shi Xuan’s face visibly darkened.

“Young Master Jing Yan, please help the City Lord’s Wife.

That bastard Chen Bing believes that the City Lord won’t return, and now he wields significant power within the City Lord Mansion.

The Lady is having a hard time,” said Shi Xuan indignantly.

If Shi Xuan hadn’t witnessed Jing Yan’s strength, he wouldn’t have rashly asked for his help.

But now, seeing Jing Yan’s formidable power, if Jing Yan was willing to help, then Chen Bing would not be a concern.

“I’ll go have a look right away,” Jing Yan nodded.

“President, I will make a trip to the City Lord Mansion first.

I will personally visit the Extreme Combat Association another day,” Jing Yan said to Ding Qiniang, who was not far off.

“Alright,” Ding Qiniang nodded.

Then, Jing Yan took out two Revitalizing Pills and administered them to Shi Xuan and Qin Yu before activating his Sky Wings and heading towards the City Lord Mansion.

Inside the City Lord Mansion!

Chen Bing was behaving wantonly, sitting arrogantly in Lv Qin’s bedroom.

The smug look on his face did not bother to conceal his desire.

He was ecstatic!

The City Lord Huo Chunyang was dead, and Shi Xuan had joined the war between the Jing and Zhao families, making his return unlikely.

Now, he ruled the City Lord Mansion; whatever he wished to do, he could do, and no one could stop him.

“Lv Qin, I advise you to think it over carefully.

Huo Chunyang is already dead.

Heh, why persist in pining for him?

Why don’t you come with me instead?

Rest assured, I will treat you well, and I guarantee that your life with me will be not a downgrade but an upgrade from your time with Huo Chunyang,” Chen Bing said with a sinister smile, his eyes shining as he ogled Lv Qin.

He had long coveted Lv Qin.

But in the past, he didn’t dare show even the slightest sign of his thoughts.

He knew very well that if Huo Chunyang were aware of his desires, Huo Chunyang would have killed him instantly, without giving him any chance.

He could only bury such thoughts deep in his heart, unable to share them with anyone.

After Huo Chunyang’s disappearance, he still couldn’t be too eager because Lv Qin had Shi Xuan by her side.

Shi Xuan, as the Chief Manager of the City Lord Mansion, had served beside Huo Chunyang and Lv Qin for decades.

He had considerable influence within the mansion and commanded the loyalty of a group of Armored Guards.

Therefore, he couldn’t risk war with Shi Xuan because he wasn’t confident of victory.

Now, Huo Chunyang was dead, and Shi Xuan was likely also dead.

Wasn’t Lv Qin now just something within his grasp?

“Damn you!

Despicable wretch!

You certainly won’t end well!

Even if I die, I will never follow you!” Lv Qin was furiously enraged, glaring fiercely at Chen Bing.

Lv Qin was much weaker than Chen Bing, and although she also was of the Innate Realm, she had no power to resist him.

Hearing Chen Bing’s vile and vulgar words, Lv Qin was determined to commit suicide if Chen Bing attempted to violate her forcefully.

She would rather die than allow him to defile her.

“You really are stubborn!”

“Hehehe…” Chen Bing chuckled sinisterly.

“I have plenty of patience and can wait.

I believe that one day, you will change your mind.”

Chen Bing didn’t seem intent on forcing himself on Lv Qin; perhaps he also sensed that now wasn’t the right time.

He wasn’t sure he could subdue Lv Qin before she committed suicide, and it would be no fun if she died.

“Deputy City Lord, Sir!”

A voice came from outside.

“Lv Qin, take a good rest, and I’ll come to see you again later tonight,” hearing the voice outside, Chen Bing said to Lv Qin before getting up to leave.

With a smile on his face, he walked out of the room and saw a guard standing there.

He knew this must mean that the war between the Zhao and Jing families had concluded, and the guard was here to report the outcome.

Inside the room, Lv Qin’s eyes were red, and tears uncontrollably cascaded down her face.

She thought of death, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that Huo Chunyang was still alive.

If he was indeed alive, but she ended her life, what would he do when he returned?

She must try her utmost to survive, waiting for Huo Chunyang’s return.

Lv Qin lifted her head, staring at the ceiling, and whispered, “How did it come to this?

How?

Pure Yang, where are you?”

Tears flowed down her cheeks.

“How did it go?

Has the Jing Family been flattened?” Chen Bing asked the guard with a laugh.
