The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136: About to Lose My Temper

Near the entrance of the Luojiu Space, the number of high-ranking figures of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace gathered here has not decreased compared to a few years ago, but on the contrary, has increased.

Ten years is nothing to these high-level True Gods. Because Jing Yan hasn’t come out since entering the Luojiu Space, some high-ranking individuals who initially had no interest in martial artists entering the Luojiu Space have specifically come here just to wait for Jing Yan to come out of the secret realm.

Now, Jing Yan has finally emerged.

As soon as he appeared, the eyes of the whole audience focused on Jing Yan.

”So many people?” Jing Yan glanced around, seeing over a hundred high-ranking figures from the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, gathering in threes and twos nearby, some sitting cross-legged, some standing, and his mind couldn’t help but move slightly.

”Jing Yan has come out!”

”This kid actually stayed inside the secret realm for ten years, ten years! How much benefit could he have gained?”

”Ten years, maybe by now he’s a high-level True God, right? Before entering the secret realm, he was only at the Three-star True God Realm.”

”Out of the 150 martial artists who entered the Luojiu Space this time, besides him, the one who stayed the longest inside the secret realm lasted only four years.”

The elders and general directors all looked at Jing Yan.

Some who hoped to see Jing Yan never come out of the secret realm inevitably felt disappointed. Jing Yan came out of the secret realm, which means there was no problem with Luojiu Space. And since he stayed in the Luojiu Space for ten years, it means he should have consumed nine Enlightenment Fruits.

Nine Enlightenment Fruits!

Even the big figures of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace couldn’t help but feel envious of so many Enlightenment Fruits.

”Brother Jing Yan!” Chief Guan Lun flashed and appeared before Jing Yan.

”General Director!” Jing Yan cupped his hand in salute.

Now, he and Chief Guan Lun are on the same level; both are at the Nine-star True God Cultivation.

”Congratulations, congratulations, after ten years of cultivation in the secret realm, you must have gained a lot?” Guan Lun smiled.

”It was not a futile journey.” Jing Yan replied with a smile.

Before Jing Yan came out, Guan Lun was also worried. After all, even the Palace Master couldn’t confirm if the secret realm had an anomaly. It was impossible to reach Jing Yan with communication crystal stones and the like. Now that Jing Yan has returned safely, he feels relieved.

”Cheating! It must be cheating!”

At this moment, an ear-piercing yelling came.

Without turning his eyes, Jing Yan knew it must be Yin Tianhe shouting nearby when he heard that voice.

Jing Yan let out a light snort, then slowly shifted his gaze to the ferocious-looking Yin Tianhe.

”Yin Tianhe, are you talking to me?” Jing Yan asked in an indifferent tone.

”Jing Yan, stop pretending. Tell me, what means did you use to stay in the Luojiu Space for ten years?” Yin Tianhe shouted.

Yin Tianhe was filled with turmoil—resentment, jealousy, and intense hatred towards Jing Yan. These emotions intertwined, causing him to lose some rationality. Yin Tianhe is inherently narrow-minded, seeking revenge for every grievance. Because of the Palace Master, he hasn’t dared to act against Jing Yan. But seeing Jing Yan actually train in the Luojiu Space for ten years, his long-suppressed emotions finally exploded.

”Yin Tianhe, why don’t you tell me what means I could use to cheat?”

”Even the Palace Master cannot control the Luojiu Space. Tell me, what means can I use to train inside the secret realm for ten years?” Jing Yan squinted, staring at Yin Tianhe.

Now, Jing Yan no longer needs to fear Yin Tianhe.

”How should I know what means you used? But you training in the Luojiu Space for ten years is absolutely abnormal. Since the establishment of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, no one has stayed in the Luojiu Space for more than six years, yet you trained in there for nearly ten years. If not cheating, who would believe it?” Yin Tianhe fiercely accused Jing Yan of cheating.

”Yin Tianhe!” Jing Yan shook his head, voice sinking.

”Your character is truly despicable!” Jing Yan sneered, ”I know you’re holding a grudge against me because your son had his Dao Palace destroyed by me. But you should be aware, the matter of your son’s Dao Palace being destroyed is not my fault. If not for your son Yin Hua provoking me repeatedly, how could he have met such a fate? He brought it upon himself! It’s a blessing that he even retained his life!”

”You, being one of the Ninety-nine Departments’ Chief, do not distinguish between right and wrong, only protecting your short. How are you fit to serve as Chief of Ninety-nine Departments?”

”Moreover, does my training in the Luojiu Space for ten years have the slightest bit to do with you? How long I stay in there is my own ability. You have no evidence, yet you slander me for cheating. Do you really think I’m a soft target?” Jing Yan rebuked consecutively.

”You...” Yin Tianhe’s face turned red and white after being mocked by Jing Yan.

For a moment, Yin Tianhe couldn’t refute Jing Yan.

He indeed had no evidence to prove that Jing Yan had used cheating to train in the Luojiu Space for ten years. In fact, deep down, he was aware that even the Palace Master couldn’t control Luojiu Space, and how long a martial artist could stay inside relied completely on their own abilities. Cheating was indeed improbable.

At least until now, no one had found a way to extend their time inside Luojiu Space.

”You little brat, how dare you speak like that?”

”I am the Chief of Ninety-nine Departments, and what status do you hold? How dare you speak to me like that! An ignorant thing that does not know its place, even if the Palace Master protects you, I must ask the Palace Master for an explanation today!” Yin Tianhe paused for a moment before shouting angrily in a harsh voice.

His fury had reached its peak.

If it weren’t for the concern of Palace Master Xiao Ying, he would have already attacked Jing Yan by now; he longed to slap Jing Yan to death.

”Heh, seeking an explanation from the Palace Master?”

”Who do you think you are?” Jing Yan sneered disdainfully.

”Jing Yan, restrain yourself!” The True Word Department Director spoke out.

”Hmm?” Jing Yan looked at the True Word Department Director.

”Jing Yan, what, are you dissatisfied?” The True Word Department Director furrowed his brows, ”Brother Yin is the Sky Wolf Department Director, and you are but a member of the Green Wood Department Seventh Palace. Are you unaware of the gap in status between you and Brother Yin? Saying that you don’t know your place is not an unjust accusation of you, is it?”

”Chief Ye Qin, is it?” Jing Yan raised his eyebrows at the True Word Department Director.

”That’s right, I am the True Word Department Director, Ye Qin!” Ye Qin nodded pridefully.

”Chief Ye Qin, first, you should clarify who started the problem. Did I not come out of the Luojiu Space, and was it not Yin Tianhe who first yelled at me and slandered me for cheating? Does it mean that just because he is a Chief, I don’t even have the right to defend myself? If he accuses me of cheating, must I then bear the slander of cheating?” Jing Yan also showed no fear in front of Ye Qin.
