The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Battle of the General Directors

Ye Qin is a rather aloof person.

Now, Jing Yan’s words clearly gave him no face. His expression darkened instantly, and the eyes that looked at Jing Yan became sharp.

”Presumptuous!” Ye Qin shouted harshly.

”Brother Ye, did you see that? Look at how arrogant this brat is. Relying on the backing of the Palace Master, he completely disregards us General Directors now! If we don’t teach him a lesson today, who will still pay attention to us General Directors in this Luo Jiu Divine Palace in the future?” Yin Tianhe looked at Ye Qin, his tone sinister.

”Everyone, don’t get angry. It’s not a big deal, why make everyone unhappy? Jing Yan, don’t say any more.” Guan Lun was also under great pressure.

As he spoke, he gently shook his head at Jing Yan, signaling him to hold back for now.

”Brother Guan, Jing Yan is a member of your Qingmu Department, and as the Chief of Qingmu Department, you should also discipline him more.” Ye Qin looked at Guan Lun and said.

”Brother Ye makes a good point. I’ll have a good talk with Jing Yan when we get back.” Guan Lun quickly responded with a smile.

”Guan Lun, don’t muddy the waters here. This matter isn’t over yet. Jing Yan publicly contradicted me, and if there’s no resolution, I won’t agree.” Yin Tianhe said through gritted teeth.

”Yin Tianhe, what do you want as a resolution?” Jing Yan’s heart grew colder.

If it were before, Jing Yan would have endured it, back then lacking enough strength to do otherwise. But now, does he still need to endure? If one has enough strength and still endures, what’s the point of working hard to become stronger?

Moreover, Yin Tianhe was aggressive and relentless; if Jing Yan swallowed his pride today, who knows how many trivial problems would entangle him in the future?

”Enough!”

”Jing Yan, apologize to Chief Yin Tianhe, and let this matter end here!” The Water Moon Department Chief spoke up.

Water Moon Department is recognized as the first among the Ninety-nine Departments. The position of the Water Moon Department Chief is quite special within the Ninety-nine Departments of Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

Most elders of Jidao Palace would usually give face to the Water Moon Department Chief.

Now that the Water Moon Department Chief has spoken, the ferocity in the eyes of Yin Tianhe and others visibly subdued.

The Water Moon Department Chief was very old and had long-standing qualifications in Luo Jiu Divine Palace. Although usually silent, whenever he spoke, others could not ignore him. Since the Water Moon Department Chief had demanded Jing Yan apologize to Yin Tianhe, the matter would likely end this way. Even if Yin Tianhe wanted to stir up trouble, he would lack confidence, for he dared not offend the Water Moon Department Chief.

Of course, the Water Moon Department Chief wanted Jing Yan to apologize not for Jing Yan’s sake.

He knew that with the Palace Master backing Jing Yan, Yin Tianhe wouldn’t dare to lay hands directly on Jing Yan. Since he couldn’t act, it was the best choice for Jing Yan to apologize.

The Water Moon Department Chief had no good feelings toward Jing Yan. There were some conflicts between Jing Yan and Water Moon Department, though not enough to drive the Water Moon Department Chief to trouble Jing Yan, he couldn’t completely disregard the slight grudge in his heart.

”You want me to apologize?” Jing Yan laughed softly.

”Yin Tianhe apologizing to me would be more like it!” Jing Yan snorted coldly.

The face of the Water Moon Department Chief was disregarded as well!

”Audacious!”

”Such an arrogant brat!”

”Utterly unruly!”

As Jing Yan uttered this, the expressions of most people changed, with several stepping forward to scold Jing Yan on the spot. The prestige of the Water Moon Department Chief was clearly not something Yin Tianhe could compare to.

Upon Jing Yan’s words, Yin Tianhe was instantly pleased.

”This brat is finished!”

”One brings disaster upon oneself by such acts, daring to openly contradict even the Water Moon Department Chief, isn’t that courting death? Hmph, even if the Palace Master supports him, today it won’t be easy for him to leave unscathed!” Yin Tianhe thought excitedly.

Guan Lun gave Jing Yan a bitter smile.

Jing Yan offended too many here. The Water Moon Department Chief’s face was also extremely grim at this moment.

”Don’t say useless things!” Jing Yan was indifferent to the scolding.

He looked at Yin Tianhe.

”Yin Tianhe, haven’t you always wanted to avenge your son?”

”Come then! Let’s fight here. If you have the skill, you can kill me to avenge your son.” Jing Yan drew out the Colorful Cloud Sword and gazed at Yin Tianhe.

”Hmm?” Yin Tianhe never expected Jing Yan to challenge him publicly.

For a moment, he was stunned in place.

It’s unexpected, not only to Yin Tianhe but likely to everyone present except Jing Yan. They couldn’t help feeling surprised by Jing Yan’s words. Would Jing Yan really challenge Yin Tianhe, a powerful player in the Nine Stars True God Realm?

Many pairs of widened eyes were on Jing Yan, as if trying to see through his intentions. Was Jing Yan bluffing or truly intending to fight Yin Tianhe?

”Jing Yan challenging Yin Tianhe?”

”What does he intend to do? Does he have the strength?”

”Could it be that he has really reached the High-level True God Realm in the Luojiu Space? But even if he stepped into the High-level True God Realm, he couldn’t possibly have the strength to challenge Yin Tianhe, right? Yin Tianhe is not the topmost in the Nine Stars True God, but he has mastered several First-class Divine Powers, and the number of Laws he comprehends exceeds Jing Yan many times over.”

”He probably thinks with the backing of the Palace Master, Yin Tianhe wouldn’t dare to harm him. That’s why he dares to challenge Yin Tianhe.”

Everyone was turning over their thoughts, many with their eyes gleaming, looking at Jing Yan and Yin Tianhe.

”Yin Tianhe, why aren’t you speaking? Don’t you hate me to the core? I’m giving you this chance now. If you want to avenge your son, come!” Jing Yan continued as Yin Tianhe remained stunned.

”You little bastard, you’re courting death! Do you really think that just because the Palace Master protects you, I dare not touch you? This is what you asked for!” Yin Tianhe, furious beyond measure, swiftly pulled out a weapon emitting black light.

Since Jing Yan willingly challenges him, even if he injures or takes Jing Yan’s life, the Palace Master would have no argument.

”Boom!” Jing Yan ceased speaking.

The Colorful Cloud Sword swung, the Sword Light dazzling, gleaming forth.

In the Dao Palace, Divine Power was surging and flowing. After the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill evolved, Jing Yan’s use of Divine Power was far beyond what it used to be.

”Sword Intent Divine Ability!” The Third Realm Sword Intent Divine Power was integrated into the martial arts.

In the space in front of Jing Yan’s body, the Power of Laws fluctuated, swirling around the Sword Light.

When Yin Tianhe saw Jing Yan strike, naturally he wouldn’t hold back any longer. With a cruel smile, the black weapon in his hand trembled violently, and a sheet of black light condensed.
