The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 961: Chapter 961: Got Into Trouble

”Father, why did you urgently call me back?”

As soon as he entered, Jing Yun expressed his dissatisfaction.

Jing Yun’s attitude made Jing Yan’s anger flare up instantly.

It’s truly getting more and more out of hand. If he is not strictly disciplined, there might be big problems in the future. Jing Yun is already fifteen, not a child anymore.

”Jing Yun, your mother has just come out of seclusion, and today our family is gathering to celebrate. Come quickly and sit by my side.” Gao Zhan also noticed Jing Yan’s anger and hurriedly spoke to Jing Yun, signaling repeatedly with his eyes.

”I thought it was something important. Isn’t it just celebrating Mother coming out of seclusion?” Jing Yun said indifferently.

”Insolent!” Jing Yan’s face suddenly changed, his stern gaze sweeping over Jing Yun.

”You don’t need to sit!” Jing Yan said in a firm voice, ”Give me your Sumeru Ring!”

Seeing his father truly angry, Jing Yun didn’t dare speak further. He lowered his head, took the Sumeru Ring off his finger, and handed it to Jing Yan with both hands.

Jing Yan took almost all the resources out of the Sumeru Ring, leaving only a small amount of Spirit Stones inside.

”From today, you will leave the family and Donglin City. Remember, no matter where you go, don’t mention my name. If you have any spine, don’t let anyone know you’re from the Jing Family of Donglin City.” Jing Yan waved his hand and tossed the Sumeru Ring with only a small amount of Spirit Stones back to Jing Yun.

”Father...” Jing Yun was anxious.

He never expected the matter to be so serious.

”Husband...”

”Jing Yan, why be so harsh on the child? Yun’er may be a bit mischievous usually, but he hasn’t done anything outrageous. I think just confining him for a while and letting him reflect will suffice.” Chu Lianxing also spoke.

”No need to persuade me; I’ve made my decision. Now, leave Donglin City.” Jing Yan’s mind was set.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, everyone else also refrained from speaking further.

”I’ll escort Yun’er out of Donglin City.” Gao Feng stood up and said.

”Don’t give him any resources.” Jing Yan looked at Gao Feng.

...

Outside Donglin City.

”Yun’er, your father is doing this for your own good.”

”This time, letting you leave Donglin City is with the hope that you can truly train outside, experience how ordinary martial artists struggle in this world, and understand how hard it is to acquire resources.”

”Sigh.” Gao Feng gazed at Jing Yun.

”Mother, you don’t need to say these things, I’m leaving.” Jing Yun was evidently not intimidated by Jing Yan’s decision.

Since his father wants him to leave Donglin City to explore and train, he will do as his father wishes.

He wants to prove that even without relying on his father or the family, he can still manage.

”Wait!”

”Take this. If by any chance you encounter danger, it can save your life. Furthermore, I will immediately know.” Gao Feng, ultimately not reassured, handed a special Holy Artifact to Jing Yun.

This Holy Artifact doesn’t require active activation; if Jing Yun encounters a lethal attack, it can protect Jing Yun automatically. At the same time, Gao Feng would also know Jing Yun is in trouble and could rush to help.

After leaving Donglin City, Jing Yun traveled a long distance.

A month later, he joined an adventure group. Jing Yun knew that in her youth, his mother also joined an adventure group, and his uncle, Gao Zhan, had been in an adventure group as well.

The adventure group’s Team Leader took good care of Jing Yun. During the adventure of hunting spiritual beasts, he often helped Jing Yun avoid attacks from the spiritual beasts.

Gradually, Jing Yun matured a lot. He somewhat truly understood his father’s intention of letting him train alone. Jing Yun was also a clever person and inherited Jing Yan’s stubbornness; he indeed never mentioned his identity and even changed the name he used publicly.

Time flew by for several years.

Through his efforts, Jing Yun also advanced from the Innate Realm to the Dao Spirit Realm. During these years, Jing Yun never returned to Donglin City. Even on two occasions when he followed his own adventure team into the Black Stone Mountain Range, he didn’t enter Donglin City.

One day, several years later.

The adventure group Jing Yun belonged to, during a conflict with other martial artists over resources, Jing Yun killed someone.

The person Jing Yun killed had significant background, so he had caused trouble.

Behind this person was a big family.

Despite the adventure group leaving the area as quickly as possible to avoid that big family, they were ultimately tracked down by the family, who sent numerous experts to hunt them, reportedly even involving the family’s Clan Leader.

During the encirclement, the adventure group also suffered casualties.

”Gao Yun, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You are a member of our adventure group. Even if it comes to the last stand, we must keep standing.” The adventure group’s Team Leader said to Jing Yun.

”Team Leader, if I hadn’t killed that young master back then, this wouldn’t have...” Jing Yun sighed heavily.

”You did nothing wrong; it was that bastard who struck first. Could it be that if he intends to kill us, we shouldn’t retaliate?” The Team Leader shook his head, ”Don’t think too much. We may not necessarily die. As long as we can leave this Commandery region, it won’t be that easy for that family to chase us down.”

”Hmm.” Jing Yun nodded.

”Gao Yun, your Martial Arts Talent is truly high! At just twenty, you are already a Dao Spirit Realm martial artist. Amazing, truly impressive.”

”Indeed, one shouldn’t compare with others. I remember when I was twenty, I had just advanced to the Innate realm.”

”Don’t flatter yourself, who doesn’t know you? At twenty, you were only at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven.”

Members of the adventure group laughed and spoke loudly.

Jing Yun was also quite moved. He knew these people did not blame him for killing that young master. Moreover, during the entire pursuit, not a single person from the adventure group suggested abandoning him. Even when that big family clearly expressed that handing over Gao Yun would spare the adventure group, the group directly refused.

”Not good!”

”Prepare to fight!”

The group had just rested for less than two hours when their pursuers arrived again. The Team Leader’s face turned cold as he shouted loudly.

”Clang!” All over a hundred members of the adventure group quickly drew their weapons, forming a formation to prepare for the assault.

”Whiz whiz...”

Soon, traces of the enemies appeared, and Jing Yun and the others saw dozens of martial artists approaching.

Seeing these people, the members of the adventure group focused their gazes, tension spreading through them. Jing Yun’s heart skipped as he saw the person leading them.

It was the Clan Leader of that family!

This family had been pursuing Jing Yun’s adventure group for some time. Previously, the group had clashed with their forces several times but had not encountered their truly powerful martial artists. This time, even their Clan Leader and family elders had followed the trail to chase them down.

”Today, I want to see how you all intend to escape!” The Clan Leader of that big family looked at the members of the adventure group, snorted coldly, and a piercing gaze swept over them.

Although their numbers were few, the pressure they exerted on the adventure group was unprecedented. These few dozen people had immense strength, and Jing Yun’s adventure group stood no chance against them.
