The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1086: Chapter 1086: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

The Black Water Tribe vanished like smoke, while the Heavenly Origin Tribe quietly rose at the northwest border.

After recruiting Fang Qiu and others, Jing Yan continued to set up the Big Array in the ore veins. With the assistance of Fang Qiu and the others, the speed of Jing Yan’s formation setup suddenly increased. Although Fang Qiu and the others were not Array Masters, their cultivation was formidable. Jing Yan only needed to instruct them on what to do, and they could quickly complete their tasks.

Moreover, there were several array masters with certain attainments in the Array Dao in the former Black Water Tribe, and these people were also of great help to Jing Yan.

After a few more days, a set of Chain Formations was finally completed. After a simple test, it officially ran.

This Chain Array, although having only nine formations inside and outside, was sufficient to withstand consecutive full-power attacks from a Low-level True God when running simultaneously. As long as there were twenty High-level Void Gods controlling the formation within, it could withstand continuous attacks from two or three Low-level True Gods for several days without breaking.

As the setup of this formation was coming to an end, Su Fu returned to the Sixth Palace of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace and appeared before Yin Hua. Su Fu exaggeratedly narrated the events that occurred outside to Yin Hua.

Yin Hua’s face was gloomy, and he remained silent for a long time.

”Is this Jing Yan really that strong? Did he even manage to kill Xiao Tian head-on?” After a while, Yin Hua finally spoke in a low voice.

”Brother Hua, that Jing Yan is indeed very strong. It seems he hasn’t even reached the True God Realm, but his combat power is stronger than a One-star True God,” Su Fu nodded repeatedly, speaking in a delicate voice.

”So he really doesn’t give me any face?” Yin Hua looked at Su Fu.

”Brother Hua, if he gave you face, he wouldn’t have killed Xiao Tian in front of me. If I hadn’t noticed something wrong and left early, I might never see you again. And... Jing Yan even had improper intentions towards me...” Su Fu began to sob lightly, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful.

”Brother Hua, you must stand up for me!” Su Fu threw herself into Yin Hua’s arms.

”Hmph, those who dare to bully my people, I want them dead!” Yin Hua gritted his teeth, his eyes turning red as he spoke forcefully, ”I’ll wait for him to return to the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, and I’ll meet him. I want to see how many heads this brat has!”

Yin Hua’s eyes were filled with mad killing intent.

When he sent Su Fu to negotiate with Jing Yan earlier, Yin Hua hadn’t intended to kill. But now, he had murder in his heart. Even if Jing Yan was being noticed by important figures from the Jidao Palace, he was determined to take Jing Yan’s life.

He didn’t care about the death of Xiao Tian. What he cared about was his own reputation and the face of Yin Hua. That damn Jing Yan dared to have thoughts about his woman—unforgivable!

...

”Chief!”

”The subordinates greet the Chief!”

The current headquarters of the Heavenly Origin Tribe was the same as the former headquarters of the Black Water Tribe. Now that the Black Water Tribe no longer existed, this tribe base naturally belonged to the Heavenly Origin Tribe.

Fang Qiu, Xing Kong, and Wang Chunlin, the three vice-chiefs, along with some elders of the tribe, were all saluting Jing Yan.

”There’s no need for such formalities!” Jing Yan waved his hand.

”Today, I called you all over to ask something.”

”Currently, in the northwest border, our Heavenly Origin Tribe should be the most powerful. However, within this region, there are numerous forces like stars in the sky. I want to know if there are any forces among them that do not show respect to the Heavenly Origin Tribe. Are they all obedient?” Jing Yan spoke slowly, but his gaze was fixed on Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu felt Jing Yan’s gaze on him all along, his mind racing, trying to figure out Jing Yan’s intentions.

Are there any forces disrespectful to the Heavenly Origin Tribe?

For the time being, indeed, there are none!

In this region, the number of forces, large and small, is indeed vast. But these forces are not stupid enough to antagonize the Heavenly Origin Tribe at this time. Who would dare to offend Chief Jing Yan now?

How powerful was the Black Water Tribe before? Yet, what was the outcome? It vanished into history’s dust in a matter of moments.

So, what exactly does Chief Jing Yan mean by asking these questions? Moreover, why is Jing Yan’s gaze fixated on Fang Qiu?

”What, are these forces all extraordinarily respectful to the Heavenly Origin Tribe? Is there not a single force that’s disobedient?” Jing Yan asked again.

Xing Kong and Wang Chunlin also looked puzzled.

At this moment, however, Fang Qiu had a flash of insight; he seemed to understand.

Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Jing Yan gently, and then cautiously said, ”There is indeed one tribe that is not very obedient; this tribe is called the Red Demon.”

”Oh, so there really are disobedient ones,” Jing Yan smiled and nodded.

Seeing Jing Yan’s expression, Fang Qiu was invigorated, knowing he had guessed correctly.

”What is the situation of this Red Demon Tribe?” Jing Yan asked further.

”The Red Demon Tribe is quite powerful. In this tribe, there are two Nine-star Void Gods stationed. The chief of the tribe has a sister who was once Xiao Tian’s woman. The Red Demon Tribe relies on this relationship to act arrogantly. Other tribes have to hand over eighty percent of their ore vein income to our Heavenly Origin Tribe, but this Red Demon Tribe only pays thirty percent...”

Fang Qiu, having grasped the idea, eloquently spoke for quite some time. He not only described the strength of the Red Demon Tribe clearly but also analyzed their transgressions thoroughly.

Listening to Fang Qiu’s words, Jing Yan gave him a satisfied look. This Fang Qiu was indeed a clever person.

”Well, since the tribe is so atrocious, let’s eradicate it!” Jing Yan nonchalantly made a decision.

The reason Jing Yan made this decision was simple: to act as a warning to others. The Heavenly Origin Tribe had just taken over the Black Wind Tribe and controlled this entire northwest border region. Establishing authority was the fastest way to build prestige.

”Vice-chief Fang Qiu, gather ten elders of the tribe. We will depart on time after a cup of tea. I will personally lead the team to the Red Demon Tribe,” Jing Yan instructed Fang Qiu.

”Yes!” Fang Qiu quickly responded.

Several hours later, Jing Yan, Fang Qiu, and other members of the Heavenly Origin Tribe arrived outside the Red Demon Tribe.

Without any negotiation, they directly attacked. The Red Demon Tribe, although having decent strength, with strong internal and external Guardian Arrays, could not withstand Jing Yan and his team. The tribe’s formation was completely broken in less than a day.

Then it became a one-sided slaughter.

Of course, Jing Yan was not a person who delighted in killing. Breaking the Red Demon Tribe was meant to establish authority, not for the sake of slaughter. Jing Yan ordered his subordinates not to pursue those who chose to flee and not resist. Only those who stubbornly resisted were slaughtered.

After the tribe’s formation was breached, the resistance from the Red Demon Tribe was very weak. The battle ended in a little more than half an hour, even without Jing Yan personally taking action.
