The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 824: Chapter 824 Not Satisfactory

Yan Zhuang naturally recognized the people following the Prince.

So, at this moment, he was completely dumbfounded—all these people were clan leaders of the Great Families of Green Field County, each of their statuses and identities far above his own.

What were these important figures doing at his Yan Family’s estate?

Gao Hui and others, following behind, had also emerged from the main entrance of the mansion, and they too were stunned speechless.

”What a grand gathering!” Jing Yan frowned slightly when he saw these people.

He had initially thought that only the Green Field County Prince would come over, at most accompanied by people like the Chief Manager of the Prince Manor. But unexpectedly, following the Prince was such a large entourage. Judging by these people’s attire and the aura they exuded, they must all be important figures from within the Commandery. With a slight turn of thought, Jing Yan had roughly discerned their identities.

”Greetings to the Prince!”

”Greetings to all the Clan Leaders!” After coming to his senses, Yan Zhuang quickly bowed in salutation.

At this point, Yan Zhuang’s mind was also uneasy, for he had no idea what was going on or why the Prince and others had come to the Yan Family, which was abnormal.

Gao Feng’s aunt, Gao Hui, as well as the siblings Yan Qingbi and Yan Kuan, also bowed in greeting with trepidation.

”President Yan Zhuang, I am really sorry for the intrusion at such a late hour,” the Green Field County Prince said with a pleasant demeanor.

Hearing the Prince’s tone, Yan Zhuang relaxed a little. Judging by the Prince’s attitude, it should not be anything bad.

Yan Qingbi cast a furtive, furious glance at Jing Yan and Gao Feng.

Obviously, she was displeased that Jing Yan and Gao Feng had not greeted the Prince and the others. Faced with such prominent figures, these two just stood there, completely nonchalant—how infuriating... They lacked any tact at all. If their behavior upset the Prince and others, causing dissatisfaction with the Yan Family, the consequences could be quite serious.

”It’s no trouble at all, for the Prince and all the Clan Leaders to visit, I am filled with trepidation,” Yan Zhuang responded quite astutely.

No wonder he had managed to grow the Green Field Commerce to its present scale.

The Prince smiled.

Then, his gaze turned towards Jing Yan and Gao Feng, standing behind Yan Zhuang and the others, his eyes suddenly brightened.

As soon as he saw Jing Yan, he could confirm that this person was indeed Hall Master Jing Yan of the Holy Hall, the formidable man who led the Glory Alliance to annihilate the Gai Family of the Seven Great Families.

”Green Field County Prince Zhao Kun greets Lord Jing Yan!” Prince Zhao Kun bowed deeply as he spoke in a clear voice.

Seeing the Prince’s gesture, the many clan leaders and others behind him were also certain that the young Martial Artist in the blue robe was Hall Master Jing Yan.

”Greetings to Lord Jing Yan!” A chorus of voices followed Prince Zhao Kun’s lead.

Yan Zhuang was shocked!

Gao Feng’s aunt, Gao Hui, was similarly wide-eyed.

As for Yan Qingbi and Yan Kuan, the siblings were frozen stiff.

Lord Jing Yan?

Isn’t Gao Feng’s husband named Jing Yan?

”No need for such formalities!” Jing Yan waved his hand and said.

With that, Yan Zhuang and the others confirmed that the person the Prince and the others had come to see at the Yan Family Mansion was Gao Feng’s husband, Jing Yan, this young Martial Artist whom they had looked down upon from the beginning.

Prince Zhao Kun and the others then straightened up.

”Uncle, now that Prince Zhao Kun and his party are here, let them come in for a talk,” Jing Yan continued.

It would be inappropriate to stand at this gate to the mansion, and it would be rather unfriendly to ask them to leave. After all, they had come all this way for a visit; it wouldn’t be right to turn them away.

Moreover, this could be a good opportunity to lend a helping hand to Yan Zhuang’s Green Field Commerce.

”Yes, yes, yes... Prince, Clan Leaders, please come inside. This way, please!” Yan Zhuang also caught on.

Prince Zhao Kun glanced at Yan Zhuang, his gaze carrying a flicker of insight.

Just now, Hall Master Jing Yan had referred to Yan Zhuang as uncle, and given that upon arriving in Green Field County, Hall Master Jing Yan went directly to the Yan Family Mansion, Zhao Kun had quickly understood the implication.

It seemed that in the future, the Prince Manor would have to pay more attention to the Yan Family and Green Field Commerce.

The crowd filed into the Yan Family Mansion, swirling into the spacious room where Jing Yan and others had dined earlier.

Yan Qingbi and Yan Kuan, numb, followed the crowd.

Their hearts were surging with overwhelming waves. Although still uncertain about Jing Yan’s identity, the Prince and others’ attitude towards Jing Yan was certainly extraordinary.

Moreover, they had previously had such an attitude towards Jing Yan and Gao Feng. At the thought of this, they felt a cold dread.

Now, of course, they knew that Gao Feng and Jing Yan had not been boasting. Gao Feng’s claim of being at the Daoist Master Realm had to be true. And Jing Yan—fearfully, he must be a powerhouse beyond the Dao King Realm, likely at the Dao Emperor Realm.

Otherwise, why would the Prince and others be so respectful?

Both had a certain discernment and could naturally tell that the Prince and others’ reverence towards Jing Yan was genuine and not for appearances—it was true awe.

”President Yan Zhuang, you were rather unfair!” Once they had entered the room, Zhao Kun quietly pulled Yan Zhuang to the side and whispered.

”What?” Yan Zhuang was slightly startled.

”I said you were unfair. Hall Master Jing Yan just now called you uncle, and I heard it. You are related to Lord Jing Yan, yet you never breathed a word of it before. Tell me, isn’t that a bit unfair?” Zhao Kun remarked.

Yan Zhuang was at a loss for words.

Before Jing Yan arrived, how could he have known he had such a formidable relative?

With a wry smile, Yan Zhuang quietly said to Zhao Kun, ”Your Highness, indeed I did not know before! Gao Feng is my niece, and she hadn’t returned for over thirty years. Jing Yan and Gao Feng tied the knot, and we only just found out. Not to lie to you, we initially thought Lord Jing Yan was just an ordinary Martial Artist!”

”President Yan Zhuang, you have quite the remarkable niece!” Zhao Kun whispered admirably.

”Your Highness, this Lord Jing Yan, just what is his identity...?” Yan Zhuang was immensely curious about Jing Yan’s identity.

According to Jing Yan himself, he was from Lanqu County. But how could Lanqu County have a Martial Artist of such high stature?

”President Yan Zhuang, this Lord Jing Yan, he is a Hall Master of the Holy Hall. Of course, his identity is not just that of a Holy Hall Master. Also, in terms of Martial Arts Cultivation, Lord Jing Yan should be at the Peak Dao Emperor Realm. There are rumors that he has even stepped into the Saint Realm!” Zhao Kun uttered in a hushed breath.

”*Gasp*...” Yan Zhuang felt as if his heart might leap out of his throat.

Holy Hall Master?

For Yan Zhuang, such a figure was only existent in legends. He had never imagined he’d meet a Hall Master of the Holy Hall.

And the Prince had even said that Hall Master Jing Yan was at least at the Peak Dao Emperor Realm Cultivation, possibly even the Saint Path Realm.

The Saint Path Realm? What kind of concept was that? Yan Zhuang knew that the Prince would not speak without certainty, so since he had said it, there was a great possibility it was true.

A Saint Path Realm Martial Artist, calling him uncle?
