The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 670: Chapter 670 Gai Family Actions [Four Updates]

If it weren’t for the Defensive Spiritual Artifact, Gu Mo couldn’t have possibly withstood Jing Yan’s attack for such a long time.

His combat power greatly differed from Jing Yan’s. Without the Defensive Spiritual Artifact, Gu Mo might not have been able to block a full-powered strike from Jing Yan’s longsword, let alone withstand it for a whole tea time.

”Killed one!” Jing Yan sheathed his blue Dao Artifact Longsword.

His mood was slightly joyful, but overall, he was calm.

Killing a Dao Emperor practitioner didn’t excite Jing Yan too much, almost as if there was no difference between killing him and a common martial artist.

With a flicker of his figure, he instantly arrived at the location of Gu Mo’s corpse.

”This Defensive Spiritual Artifact is quite good!” Jing Yan picked it up, observed it for a moment, and nodded slightly.

The capability of this Defensive Spiritual Artifact was indeed quite remarkable. Even Jing Yan’s attack power couldn’t directly cripple the protective energy face-to-face.

”If it were used in conjunction with Jing Yan’s Pure Yang Spiritual Body, the protective capability would be even stronger.”

”Not bad, I’ll take it. It will be useful for me.” Jing Yan put away the Defensive Spiritual Artifact.

”This longsword is also very good, much stronger than my Dao Artifact Longsword. I’ve been needing an Attack Spiritual Artifact.” Jing Yan smiled as he picked up the black longsword.

With a casual swing, the patterns on the blade flowed, the power immense.

Compared to the Dao Artifact Longsword he had used for many years, the power of the Spiritual Artifact far exceeded it.

”Gu Family’s Dao Emperor just delivered resources to me. Whatever I’m lacking, he sends,” Jing Yan said with a smirk as he put away the Spiritual Artifact Longsword, and lastly, he put Gu Mo’s Sumeru Ring into his Qiankun Small World.

Now, Jing Yan hardly cared if his Qiankun Small World was discovered.

The Gai Family had long known about the Qiankun Ring.

And now, being a Dao Emperor practitioner, even if other martial artists on the continent knew of the Qiankun Ring and wanted to seize it, they had to consider whether they had the capability.

”Jing Yan!”

”Jing Yan... did you kill Dao Emperor Gu Mo?”

”A Dao Emperor practitioner just died like that?”

Zhou Shangyun and others flew over, all shocked as they looked at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan was indifferent, but they couldn’t be indifferent. Dao Emperor Realm practitioners were high above in their eyes, and yet now they had witnessed one being slain, the shock was unimaginable.

”Just an Early Stage Dao Emperor practitioner,” Jing Yan waved his hand dismissively and said, ”Let’s go, we should head back to the City Lord Mansion, there are some matters left to discuss.”

The upcoming discussion Jing Yan referred to was about setting up three formations in Donglin City. Facing an all-out war against the Gai Family, Jing Yan couldn’t afford not to be cautious about the Gai Family acting desperately and sending people to wreak havoc in Donglin City.

Jing Yan planned to set up three High-Level Big Arrays, which demanded massive resources, requiring everyone’s collective contribution.

In the Great Hall of the Life Tree in Flowing Light City, another Life Tree withered.

Gu Yang and Gu Xinghe each corresponded to a Life Tree, while Gu Mo, being a Dao Emperor practitioner, naturally had one too.

The higher-ups in the Gai Family were completely shaken.

A Dao Emperor practitioner, inside the Gai Family, was also a pillar-like existence. And now, one of the family’s Dao Emperor practitioners, had died, Supreme Elder Gu Mo died.

Gu Mo had gone to Donglin City and died there.

What exactly happened in Donglin City?

”Jin Lan, what exactly is the situation in Donglin City? Has any news been sent back?” Gu Wanquan also couldn’t keep calm.

Gu Jinlan, was sweating profusely.

The death of a family’s Dao Emperor Realm practitioner was a huge matter. If Gu Yang and Gu Xinghe’s death was a matter of family honor, then Gu Mo’s death related to the Gai Family’s actual strength.

Faced with the Ancestor’s inquiry, Gu Jinlan was also unable to respond, he too was waiting for news to be sent back.

At that moment, a shout just happened to come from outside the Great Hall.

”Clan Leader, news from Donglin City has arrived!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinlan’s face regained some life. He walked out of the Great Hall, took a piece of paper, and his eyes quickly scanned over it. During this viewing, Gu Jinlan’s whole body violently trembled.

Jing Yan... wasn’t dead?

Quickly, he returned to the Great Hall and informed everyone of the content in the message.

In the Great Hall, the atmosphere became extremely eerie, and Gu Wanquan’s old face grew terrifyingly somber.

Over a decade ago, he had personally attempted to kill Jing Yan, forcing Jing Yan into the Death Abyss.

Everyone thought Jing Yan was certainly dead. Yet now, Jing Yan was alive and had returned to Donglin City.

From the message, it was clear that Jing Yan hadn’t just survived, he had also stepped into Dao Emperor Realm.

Gu Yang and Gu Mo had been slain by Jing Yan.

”Ancestor...” Gu Jinlan cautiously looked at Gu Wanquan.

He knew the Ancestor Gu Wanquan was in a terrible mood at that moment. A decade ago, the Ancestor had personally intervened, bringing two Dao Emperor practitioners from the Gai Family, yet none could kill Jing Yan.

Now, everyone could guess that Jing Yan must have found an extraordinary fortune in the Death Abyss; otherwise, how could he have advanced from Daoist Master Realm to Dao Emperor Realm in just eleven years?

This was incredible!

But, it was also a fact; otherwise, how would Gu Yang as well as two Peak Dao King Realm elders, and even Gu Mo, a Dao Emperor practitioner, have died?

Jing Yan had clearly grown up, there was no doubt about that!

”Jin Lan!”

”You disseminate the order, closely monitor Donglin City, particularly that Jing Yan. Any slight movements must be reported back with utmost speed,” Gu Wanquan’s low voice, chilling and reverberating, commanded in the Great Hall.

Gu Wanquan had no plans to immediately go to Donglin City himself. Now that Jing Yan had stepped into the Dao Emperor Realm, even he might not necessarily be able to kill Jing Yan. Gu Wanquan did not wish to risk his life.

When Jing Yan was weak, he could disregard obvious signs and personally pursue Jing Yan for the Qiankun Ring because back then, there was no danger to his life. Now, it was different; going after Jing Yan, he might even be counter-killed.

”I understand, Ancestor,” Gu Jinlan responded and departed.

”You all may leave as well,” Gu Wanquan gestured, addressing the others.

Everyone respectfully departed, leaving the Great Hall. Soon, only Gu Wanquan was left within the Great Hall.

Gu Wanquan sat there, silent for a long time.

”The Qiankun Ring, indeed holds a great secret,” after an unknown duration, Gu Wanquan once again let out a low voice.

Jing Yan, only in his thirties, had become a Dao Emperor practitioner. Gu Wanquan believed that it was all due to the Qiankun Ring. Without the Qiankun Ring, Jing Yan couldn’t have cultivated so rapidly. Even if Jing Yan had exceptional talents, it still wouldn’t have been possible.

Not even during the grand wars against Human Gods in the Ancient Times could there have been a Dao Emperor practitioner in their thirties. All this could only be explained by the Qiankun Ring, only that could make sense.

”Sparing Jing Lunnan’s life, turns out to be a wise move indeed,” Gu Wanquan strangely sighed.

”Gu Wanquan, this Jing Yan has grown strong enough to threaten the Gai Family. You need to be cautious,” a faint ethereal voice, uncertain of its origin, came forth.

Gu Wanquan didn’t speak; he only nodded.
