The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1458: Chapter 1458: Bestowing Death Upon You

In the courtyard, everyone looked at the Holy Master Jing Yan with eyes full of surprise and joy.

Just moments ago, they were saying that the higher-ups of All Paths Spirit Mountain had abandoned them, yet unexpectedly, the Holy Master himself had come!

”Holy Master!” Everyone knelt and called out together!

”Everyone, please rise!” Jing Yan raised his hand and said to the crowd.

”Let’s go, let us meet with Elder Zhang He of the North Branch and see what he is up to.” Jing Yan said with a slight smile.

His tone was gentle, but his eyes hid a murderous intent.

A group of people followed Jing Yan, leaving the gathering place at the boundary and flying forward.

Not long after, they encountered the group from the North Branch led by Zhang He.

”Oh?”

”These useless members of the original branch dare to leave their gathering place?”

”Hehe, interesting!”

”Elder, these people must be crazy. We need to teach them a lesson.” The disciples from the North Branch spoke mockingly, their gazes full of disdain as they looked at the disciples of the original branch.

Zhang He also watched the group opposite him with a smile.

In recent years, the people from the original branch had never dared to swagger in front of him. This time, the fact that they left their gathering place took him by surprise.

However, it made things even more interesting.

”Whoosh!” Elder Zhang He accelerated and charged out first.

A group of disciples from the North Branch followed closely behind, shouting as they charged towards the disciples of the original branch.

Jing Yan stood at the forefront of the original branch disciples, his eyes narrowed.

”Holy Master, the one in the front wearing the black robe is Zhang He from the North Branch.” The squad leader quietly said to Jing Yan.

Even without him saying, Jing Yan had already guessed that the person was Zhang He; the powerful Emperor level God Lord aura on him could not be hidden from Jing Yan.

”Worms of the original branch, have you lost your minds today?” Zhang He roared loudly, staring disdainfully at the people from the original branch.

”Zhang He!” Jing Yan shouted in a low voice, ”You have a lot of nerve!”

”Hmm?” Zhang He’s eyes squinted as he looked at Jing Yan.

Just now, he hadn’t noticed Jing Yan. Although he had seen him, he merely glanced over, not lingering much on Jing Yan. Now, hearing Jing Yan’s shout, he realized this young martial artist in the green robe was different from the others.

”Jing Yan?” Zhang He, having seen images of Jing Yan, recognized him at this moment.

The image of this Holy Master of All Paths Spirit Mountain had been viewed by the higher-ups of the North Branch.

”Zhang He, how dare you call out the Holy Master’s name directly, such audacity!” The squad leader angrily shouted.

Hearing Zhang He directly call out Jing Yan’s name, this disciple of All Paths Spirit Mountain felt some concern in his heart. If Zhang He showed no regards for the Holy Master’s identity, how could they suppress him?

This squad leader was not aware of Jing Yan’s true realm. What worried him was that if the Holy Master and Zhang He clashed, the Holy Master might not be a match for Zhang He and could suffer. Hence, he angrily rebuked Zhang He with urgency.

”Hmph, Holy Master? What does your All Paths Spirit Mountain’s Holy Master have to do with us in the North Branch Spirit Mountain? Do you really consider yourselves important?” Zhang He sneered.

It was clear to everyone that Zhang He had no respect for Jing Yan as the Holy Master. Being a member of the Hawk Faction within the North Branch Spirit Mountain, he advocated for strong actions against the original branch of All Paths Spirit Mountain. He even believed that the original branch should join forces with the other three Spirit Mountains to first eradicate the original branch.

How could such a person possibly respect the newly appointed Holy Master Jing Yan?

Jing Yan gazed at Zhang He, the murderous intent in his eyes growing stronger.

However, other martial artists from the North Branch showed a change in expression upon learning that Jing Yan was the Holy Master. The identity of the Holy Master brought significant pressure on them. Despite the East, South, West, and North being divided now, they still ultimately belonged to the same All Paths Sacred Land. This fact was deeply rooted and firmly entrenched in everyone’s subconscious.

”Elder Zhang He, you truly disappoint me!” Jing Yan said in a deep voice.

”Disappoint you? Who do you think you are! Don’t think holding the All Paths Order makes you truly the Holy Master of the All Paths Sacred Land. Hmph, I do not acknowledge it, the original branch does not acknowledge it, and neither will the other three Spirit Mountains. So, don’t put on such a Holy Master act before me, it won’t have any effect.” Zhang He sneered with ridicule.

His eyes flickered.

In his heart, he even began harboring the idea of killing Jing Yan. The All Paths Order was likely on Jing Yan; if he killed Jing Yan, he could seize the All Paths Order. By then, handing the All Paths Order to Lord Kunlong Mountain would certainly earn him more rewards and greater attention.

Zhang He’s thoughts were rapidly heating up. In his view, this could be a rare opportunity. Nearby, he detected no presence of original branch powerhouses from All Paths Spirit Mountain. If he missed such a chance, it might not come again.

”Zhang He, you truly deserve death! Though you have some strength, the All Paths Sacred Land can do without someone like you!” Jing Yan’s tone became sharp.

”North Branch Spirit Mountain is also a part of the All Paths Sacred Land. I am the Holy Master of All Paths Sacred Land, and you, a Northern Branch Elder, dare to act so presumptuously towards the Holy Master, this is a capital offense!”

”Moreover, you, being a Northern Branch Elder, killed the Main God Disciple of the original branch for no reason and have no remorse. This, too, is a capital offense!”

”Today, I shall, on behalf of All Paths Sacred Land, sentence you to death!” Jing Yan’s voice hardened.

Before arriving at the boundary, while still at All Paths Spirit Mountain, Jing Yan had already made up his mind. This decision destined Zhang He to die at the borderline today.

Jing Yan aimed to kill Zhang He to establish his might. To show the four Spirit Mountains that the original All Paths Spirit Mountain had changed.

Jing Yan also knew clearly that reorganizing the entire All Paths Sacred Land would inevitably lead to deaths. Among the East, South, West, and North branches, many would likely refuse to respect him as the Holy Master. Among these people, there would inevitably be some unavoidable deaths.

At the same time, Jing Yan needed to display some powerful means to deter those with ulterior motives within the four Spirit Mountains.

”Hahaha...”

”Sentence me to death?”

”Jing Yan, aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue from such blustery words? Let’s see how you sentence me to death!” Zhang He laughed wildly.

”Holy Master, that Zhang He is an Emperor level God Lord, you must be careful.” Seeing the stance of an imminent clash between Jing Yan and Zhang He, the squad leader hurriedly transmitted a reminder.

Jing Yan turned and smiled, nodding at the squad leader.

”Whoosh!” The Colorful Cloud Sword appeared in Jing Yan’s hand.

”Boom!” The colorful Sword Light condensed and was swiftly slashed forward within the space.

This single sword contained multiple Ultimate Domain Powers. This sword was precisely the Chaos Sword.

In intimidating, Jing Yan naturally aimed for the best effect. Striking Zhang He down with one sword was Jing Yan’s method of establishing authority.
