The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: How Dare You!

As thoughts flashed through Chen Qi’s mind like lightning, a cold gleam burst from his eyes. He sneered as he once again gathered his divine thought to attack. This time, with his deliberate effort, Jing Yan would find it much harder to break through the divine thought.

However, just as he gathered and released his divine thought, without having the chance to launch a powerful attack on Jing Yan’s divine soul body, another strong divine thought slammed in from the side.

”Buzz!” Chen Qi only felt his divine soul body tremble slightly.

The freshly gathered divine thought dissipated instantly. Anger flashed across his face as he turned his gaze towards Hao Yuntian, knowing that it was the North Domain Lord Hao Yuntian who had just dispersed his divine thought.

Though the gathering of a martial artist’s divine thought was not visible to the naked eye, a slight peculiar disturbance would still occur when two strands of divine thought collided.

When Jing Yan’s divine thought first collided with Chen Qi’s, Hao Yuntian had detected it keenly. Thus, he promptly gathered his divine thought, coincidentally helping Jing Yan to break free.

Seeing Chen Qi glaring at him, Hao Yuntian grinned at him but didn’t expose Chen Qi’s attempt to covertly attack Jing Yan with his divine thought.

Though Chen Qi was filled with frustration, he did not continue to gather his divine thought. With Hao Yuntian watching, it was unrealistic to covertly attack Jing Yan using divine thought.

The Domain Lords of the Southern and Western Regions also sensed the peculiarities, but they were even less likely to speak out. They looked at Jing Yan with curious eyes, quite envious of Hao Yuntian. A genius such as this appeared in the Northern Domain, why hadn’t their domains witnessed such fortune?

”Xiu Yan and Zhao Duan were killed by me. As for Li Can, mentioned by Chen Qi Domain Master, I’m not entirely sure. However, if this person died after Zhao Duan, then it was indeed by my hand,” Jing Yan spoke slowly.

Jing Yan did not deny the idea of killing three in the Eastern Domain, as there was no point in denying it.

”How dare you!” Seeing Jing Yan’s indifferent demeanor, the rage within Chen Qi surged uncontrollably, his fierce gaze fixed on Jing Yan.

”I don’t quite understand what Chen Qi Domain Master means. If Xiu Yan, Zhao Duan, and others intended to kill me, should I just stand there and be killed without fighting back?” Jing Yan raised his head, staring back at Chen Qi Domain Master.

Before being teleported out of the Upper Pure Secret Realm, Jing Yan had considered whether he should slightly bow his head when facing Chen Qi. But after coming out, that thought vanished with Chen Qi’s attempt to attack him covertly.

So what if I killed them?

”You...” Chen Qi widened his eyes.

”Moreover, the rules of the Upper Pure Secret Realm inherently allow martial artists to plunder each other. Chen Qi Domain Master, on what basis are you questioning me?” Jing Yan continued.

Chen Qi’s face flushed with anger as he glared viciously at Jing Yan. If it weren’t for the presence of so many witnesses, including the Northern Domain Lord, he would have slapped this obnoxious boy to death.

Hao Yuntian smiled serenely, feeling quite satisfied. Not only Hao Yuntian but even the Domain Lords of the Southern and Western Regions were secretly pleased. So, the strong Eastern Domain’s Chen Qi Domain Master had his setbacks too?

”Fine! Very well!” Chen Qi nodded heavily, ”However, you’ve misunderstood. I have no intention of questioning you. Zhao Duan and the others died inside the secret realm, it’s their fault for being less skilled, it cannot be blamed on you, Yan Jin.”

”However, the Dragon Abyss Sword that Zhao Duan held should now be in your possession, Yan Jin?” Chen Qi switched topics.

The postnatal spiritual treasure black longsword Zhao Duan wielded was called the Dragon Abyss Sword. This postnatal spiritual treasure was something Zhao Duan had previously exchanged from Chen Qi. Even for Tri-Floral Main Gods like Chen Qi and Hao Yuntian, such a postnatal spiritual treasure was very precious, and they didn’t possess many.

Jing Yan realized that the Dragon Abyss Sword Chen Qi mentioned was indeed the black longsword. What did Chen Qi mean by asking about it now?

”The black longsword Zhao Duan used is indeed with me,” Jing Yan nodded.

”Yan Jin, that Dragon Abyss Sword was originally mine. I hope you will return it to me,” Chen Qi said with focused eyes.

Return the Dragon Abyss Sword?

In your dreams!

Jing Yan almost couldn’t stop himself from laughing. Did this Chen Qi Domain Master’s brain get waterlogged? Being so brazenly shameless in front of so many people, not afraid of losing face? For a postnatal spiritual treasure, even abandoning all pretense?

”Chen Qi Domain Master, the Dragon Abyss Sword is my spoils of war, I fear I cannot return it to you,” Jing Yan shook his head, refusing.

While Jing Yan didn’t need to use the Dragon Abyss Sword, a postnatal spiritual treasure, even if he didn’t need it, he could give it to others in the future. Giving it to Chen Qi was out of the question!

”I can offer you some other resources as compensation!” Chen Qi quickly added.

”Chen Qi Domain Master, please say no more. I cannot give you the Dragon Abyss Sword. The Dragon Abyss Sword was something I obtained from Zhao Duan. I imagine Zhao Duan never returned the spoils he acquired from killing others in the Upper Pure Secret Realm either, right? Likewise, I will not return what I obtained from Zhao Duan,” Jing Yan sneered.

This statement left Chen Qi speechless once again. However, the hatred and desire to kill Jing Yan in his heart only intensified.

”Chen Qi Domain Master, I suggest redeeming the Divine Light Stones soon!” Hao Yuntian said from the side, first winking at Jing Yan, then addressing Chen Qi earnestly.

”Cloud Sky Domain Master is right, now that the Upper Pure Secret Realm has closed again, we should exchange the Divine Light Stones promptly and prepare to leave,” said the other two Domain Lords.

”Alright! Since everyone is eager to leave, there’s no need to delay any longer.”

”Please hand over the Divine Light Stones you obtained in the Upper Pure Secret Realm to me. Based on the corresponding points, you can exchange them for the resources you need from me,” Chen Qi said.

The martial artists took out the Divine Light Stones they had acquired in the Upper Pure Secret Realm. They couldn’t utilize the Divine Light Stones themselves. These stones were precious minerals for forging postnatal spiritual treasures, and obviously, they were not artifact refiners. Even if they were, they wouldn’t be able to refine postnatal spiritual treasures.

But Jing Yan remained still.

The Colorful Cloud Sword required Divine Light Stones; he didn’t intend to hand them to Chen Qi.

Over two hundred people one by one exchanged their Divine Light Stones for resources they needed. For these living martial artists, this entry into the Upper Pure Secret Realm turned out to be quite rewarding.

”Yan Jin, where are your Divine Light Stones? Quickly take them out for exchange!” After several hours, Chen Qi turned to Jing Yan, speaking impatiently.

”I’m sorry, but I don’t intend to use the Divine Light Stones to exchange for resources with Chen Qi Domain Master,” Jing Yan shook his head and said.

”What did you say?” Chen Qi was momentarily stunned, as he knew very well that the number of Divine Light Stones on Jing Yan must be extremely large.
