The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1418: Chapter 1418: Inviting Jing Yan to Take Action

Emperor-level powerhouses!

When these words came out of Zhao Tianmei’s mouth, the entire hall fell silent.

It should be known that within the entire Divine Woman Sect, only Sect Master Xiao Ziyi is a God Master at the Emperor level. Among the many Supreme Elders of the Divine Woman Sect, the strongest is just a top second-tier God Master, still some distance from the Emperor level.

And a sect like the Divine Woman Sect is not considered small in the All Paths World; it can at least rank among second-tier powers.

Therefore, it can be seen that God Masters at the Emperor level are indeed not very numerous in the All Paths World.

This time, the city capture battle between the Divine Woman Sect and the Ghost Leaf Sect saw a twist when Emperor San Shi, whom the Divine Woman Sect had previously secured, suddenly backed out, leaving the sect unable to find a second candidate in such a short time. Although they tried to reach out to some God Masters at the Emperor level, almost none responded.

With no other option, Divine Lady Sect Master Xiao Ziyi was planning to personally take part in the city capture battle.

Now, Zhao Tianmei claimed that an Emperor-level God Master was right in front of them. The people of the Divine Woman Sect were naturally quite surprised and stunned.

Including Xiao Ziyi herself, it was beyond their wildest imagination.

”Tianmei, you say that Mr. Jing Yan is an Emperor-level God Master?” Xiao Ziyi looked at Zhao Tianmei in disbelief and asked for confirmation again.

”Exactly.” Zhao Tianmei nodded.

”Zhao Tianmei, how do you know that this person is an Emperor-level God Master? How could a powerhouse of such level come to know you? It’s not easy to even get a meeting with such an eminent figure!” A Supreme Elder of the Divine Woman Sect spoke up.

From her tone and expression, it was clear she didn’t believe Zhao Tianmei’s words.

”Tianmei, how did you determine that Mr. Jing Yan is an Emperor God Master powerhouse?” Another elder looked skeptical, ”Could it be that you’ve seen him in action?”

”Sect Master! Elders! I have indeed personally witnessed Mr. Jing Yan in action. Ordinary God Masters are powerless before him. In Tanshan City, several ordinary God Masters were killed with a single move by him. Of course, it wasn’t Mr. Jing Yan’s fault for being ruthless; those people were too much, they were disrespectful to Mr. Jing Yan’s Daoist companion and deserved their fate!” Zhao Tianmei said.

”Tianmei, you’re just an ordinary God Master yourself. Even if you’ve seen Mr. Jing Yan in action, how can you be sure he’s at the Emperor level?” Xiao Ziyi’s eyes flashed as she asked.

After all, there’s a significant gap between ordinary God Masters and Emperor God Masters. Many Nine Tripods Main Gods possess combat power comparable to ordinary God Masters. Generally, ordinary God Masters cannot contend with third-class God Lords, and if faced with second-tier God Masters, death is almost certain, with getting killed in one move being common.

”Honorable Sect Master, Mr. Jing Yan himself admitted that he is a God Master at the Emperor level.” Zhao Tianmei frowned.

Hearing Zhao Tianmei’s words, several elders from the Divine Woman Sect scoffed.

”Honorable Sect Master, Sister Tianmei is right, Mr. Jing Yan is indeed an Emperor-level God Master. In fact, he should be at the top among the Emperor level.” Liu Lixue chimed in from the side.

Everyone turned their gaze to Liu Lixue.

”Honorable Sect Master, and esteemed elders.”

After Liu Lixue finished speaking, Ying Li stood up and slightly bowed to everyone.

”There is something that can prove Mr. Jing Yan is definitely an Emperor God Master.” Ying Li continued, ”Not long ago, I got into trouble in Black Sun City and was targeted by Viper Emperor who wanted to kill me. Although I left Black Sun City immediately, Viper Emperor didn’t intend to let me go and also left the city to chase me down.”

Xiao Ziyi’s eyes slightly widened.

No one present was unaware of Viper Emperor. Although Ying Li is at the third-class God Lord level, being targeted by Viper Emperor is a big problem. Given Viper Emperor’s capabilities, he wouldn’t be afraid of retribution from the Divine Woman Sect either.

So how did Ying Li turn the situation from peril to safety after being targeted by Viper Emperor?

”Viper Emperor is extremely ruthless, if he wanted to kill you, why would he let you go?” an elder asked.

”Here’s how it happened! Not far from Black Sun City, I happened to meet Sisters Zhao Tianmei and Liu Lixue. Mr. Jing Yan was with the two sisters.”

”At that time, seeing that you, the Sect Master, weren’t around, I was almost in despair. In my view, my only hope to escape from Viper Emperor was for you, the Sect Master, to intervene personally,” Ying Li said slowly.

Xiao Ziyi and others nodded slightly, acknowledging Ying Li’s words as true.

”When I was in despair, Mr. Jing Yan, who was with the two sisters, spoke up. Viper Emperor, upon seeing Mr. Jing Yan, immediately became docile, like a mouse seeing a cat. He admitted his mistakes on the spot, saying it was all a misunderstanding, and begged Mr. Jing Yan to spare him. I was dumbfounded by the scene at that time.”

”Mr. Jing Yan made Viper apologize to me, and Viper did so without hesitation, seeking my forgiveness.”

”Finally, Mr. Jing Yan told him to go away, and he was full of gratitude as he left, not returning to Black Sun City again.”

Ying Li recapped the incident briefly.

After she finished speaking, no one in the hall made a sound for a long time. Although they found it unbelievable, it was impossible for this matter to be fake.

As for the possibility of Viper Emperor acting out a play with Jing Yan in front of the Divine Woman Sect disciples, that was even less likely.

Viper Emperor and Mr. Jing Yan simply had no reason to stage such a play. The mere Divine Woman Sect doesn’t have the clout to make Viper Emperor act.

That means Viper Emperor truly fears Mr. Jing Yan.

”Honorable Sect Master, the reason Viper Emperor is so afraid of Mr. Jing Yan is because when Mr. Jing Yan came to the All Paths World from the Human Territory, he encountered Viper. At that time, Viper was leading his robber gang and looting a spaceship when Mr. Jing Yan came across them.”

”The Viper Robber Group was nearly wiped out, with only Viper Emperor escaping by relying on a space treasure.” Zhao Tianmei continued.

Xiao Ziyi and the others exchanged shocked glances.

After a moment, Xiao Ziyi spoke, ”With such an incident, why didn’t you report it at the time?”

”Honorable Sect Master, we knew you were about to arrive in Black Sun City, and we were also worried about displeasing Mr. Jing Yan, so we didn’t mention it beforehand. Although Mr. Jing Yan seems easy-going, these strong figures often have inexplicable tempers,” Zhao Tianmei gently shook her head as she spoke.

”Sect Master, since Emperor San Shi suddenly decided not to help our Divine Woman Sect in the city capture battle, should we see if Mr. Jing Yan would be willing to step in? I didn’t dare to take the lead on this, so it wasn’t raised with Mr. Jing Yan earlier.” Zhao Tianmei continued.
