The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1495: Chapter 1495: All-Out War Begins

These loose cultivators find it difficult to develop a true sense of belonging to the Wandao Holy Land in such a short time. The main reason they’ve joined is likely in hopes of obtaining top-level Divine Pills from Jing Yan, especially unique ones like the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill.

The incident of Ruo Bing Supreme Elder being trapped and killed by the Wanbao Divine Hall further destabilized their already unsettled minds. Although they haven’t yet left Wandao Holy Land, if this continues, they might leave at any moment.

”Elder Su He, call these loose cultivator Martial Artists to the All Paths Holy Hall; I want to talk with them,” Jing Yan thought for a moment and said to Elder Su He.

”Okay,” Su He responded.

Outer hall of the All Paths Holy Hall.

Five Emperor God Master loose cultivators and one Divine Sovereign God Master loose cultivator entered the outer hall one after another. These loose cultivators all bowed in greeting upon seeing Jing Yan.

”Everyone, I am Jing Yan.”

”I represent Wandao Holy Land in welcoming your joining.”

”I won’t say much nonsense; you are aware of the infuriating incident that recently occurred in Wandao Holy Land. I also know that despite joining Wandao Holy Land, you feel no sense of belonging here. Frankly speaking, you think Wandao Holy Land’s state doesn’t concern you directly.”

”If I were to ask you to serve Wandao Holy Land, you might agree on the surface, but in reality, you wouldn’t be very willing to put in effort.”

”Nonetheless, I am grateful for your decision to join Wandao Holy Land. I’ll say just one thing: choosing Wandao Holy Land is the right choice!”

”I have some top-level Divine Pills here, which I’ll give to you now.”

Jing Yan waved his hand, and Jade Bottles spun and flew out one by one.

”Although these top-level Divine Pills don’t include those like the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill, they will still significantly aid in your cultivation. I know you most desire those Elixirs like the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill, but such Elixirs are extremely rare, and I can’t just give them away casually. But I can tell you, as long as you make achievements for Wandao Holy Land, I can reward you with Elixirs like the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill and the Red Flame Cloud Crane Pill.”

Jing Yan continued speaking.

It’s okay that these loose cultivators have no sense of belonging to Wandao Holy Land; Jing Yan can use the method of Elixirs to make them serve. If you want the most precious Elixirs, you need to make achievements. If you do the work without dedication, naturally, you won’t get the top-level Elixirs.

The seven loose cultivators present looked at Jing Yan with fluctuating expressions. Since they joined Wandao Holy Land, this was the first time they had met Jing Yan, the Holy Master. They didn’t expect Jing Yan to gift Elixirs to them. Although these weren’t Elixirs like the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill, these Heavenly Pills and other top-level Divine Pills were exceedingly precious.

”Holy Master, since I joined Wandao Holy Land, I am now a member of the Wandao Holy Land. If Wandao Holy Land goes to war with Wanbao Divine Hall, I am willing to exert my full strength.” The only Divine Sovereign loose cultivator expressed his stance.

With the Divine Sovereign loose cultivator expressing his stance, other Emperor level God Masters also followed suit. Perhaps they didn’t truly regard themselves as members of Wandao Holy Land, but those Elixirs like the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill genuinely held immense allure. The Holy Master Jing Yan had said that as long as they achieved great merits, they could receive such Elixirs as rewards.

Jing Yan’s attitude made them understand that as long as they achieved merits, Jing Yan wouldn’t be stingy with rewards.

”Very well, then I won’t say much more to you all.” Jing Yan stood up and nodded towards everyone.

The seven loose cultivators left the All Paths Holy Hall.

Jing Yan then summoned Elder Su He again, instructing him to notify the Mountain Masters of the four branch Spiritual Mountains to hurry to the All Paths Spirit Mountain.

Three days later, in the outer hall of the All Paths Holy Hall, Jing Yan met with the Mountain Masters of the four branch Spiritual Mountains and some Supreme Elder level Divine Sovereigns.

”Mountain Masters, you should already know about the incident with Ruo Bing Supreme Elder.” Jing Yan turned his gaze, sweeping across the crowd.

”Yes, shortly after the incident happened, we received the news,” confirmed Zu Qi, the South Branch Spirit Mountain Master, nodding.

”Zhuang Yan is truly despicable!” Master Ma Zhi also gritted his teeth and said.

”Sigh, Elder Ruo Bing...” Che Ju, acting as the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain Master, wore a somewhat yearning expression.

Jing Yan waved his hand and said, ”I didn’t call you here to mourn. Elder Ruo Bing is already dead, and this outcome can’t be changed. The reason I gathered everyone here is to say that Zhuang Yan must die; he is the person I most want to kill now. Killing him will restore morale at Wandao Holy Land and unite people’s hearts!”

”Holy Master, we all want Zhuang Yan dead. But as far as I know, Zhuang Yan has been staying within Star Tower City. How are we to kill him?” Wang Geng, the West Branch Spirit Mountain Master, fixed his eyes on Jing Yan and asked.

”Yes! Even if the Divine Emperor were to act, he couldn’t kill Zhuang Yan within Star Tower City. Furthermore, there is currently a Pavilion Master of Wanbao Divine Hall, a powerful Divine Sovereign, in Star Tower City. With two Divine Sovereigns and the Guardian Array of Star Tower City, not even the strongest Divine Emperor could do anything.” One Supreme Elder said helplessly.

”Holy Master, do you have any plans?” Elder Chui Feng’s eyes flickered as he looked at Jing Yan.

”My plan is simple! Wandao Holy Land, declare full-scale war on Wanbao Divine Hall! We don’t need to wait any longer. I can sense that even if we don’t declare war, Wanbao Divine Hall won’t stop taking action. Moving forward, their actions will only grow larger. Therefore, we might as well proactively declare war, so at least the countless Martial Artists of the All Paths World won’t consider Wandao Holy Land as fearing Wanbao Divine Hall.” Jing Yan said with a firm tone.

”Ah?”

”What?”

”Declare full-scale war with Wanbao Divine Hall?”

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, everyone present showed expressions of shock.

Currently, comparing the strengths of Wandao Holy Land and Wanbao Divine Hall, Wandao Holy Land is still at a disadvantage. A full-scale war could be hard to end, and ultimately, Wandao Holy Land might completely collapse.

”I agree with the Holy Master’s words. It seems now that Wanbao Divine Hall no longer intends to endure; they’ve already ambushed and killed our Supreme Elders within the Wandao Holy Land territory. This is already a declaration of war! Even if we swallow our grievances, they’ll definitely take more actions moving forward.” Elder Chuo Yan spoke up.

Everyone fell into silence.

They all understood that what the Holy Master Jing Yan and Elder Chuo Yan said made sense.

Hundreds of years ago, the Holy Master Jing Yan killed Tu Cheng, the Heaven Pavilion Master of Wanbao Divine Hall. However, at that time, Tu Cheng attacked a city of Wandao Holy Land within its territory, so Jing Yan’s killing of Tu Cheng was reasonable—not Jing Yan going into Wanbao Divine Hall’s territory to kill Tu Cheng.

A few years ago, Wanbao Divine Hall directly conspired with Zhuang Yan, the Sect Master of True Yang Sect, and set a trap to kill Ruo Bing Supreme Elder and others within Wandao Holy Land territory.

If this isn’t a declaration of war, then what is?

If Wandao Holy Land continues to delay in making a statement, it will only be underestimated, and Wanbao Divine Hall will only grow more reckless!
