The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1730: Chapter 1730: The Killing Intent of the High-level Great Witch

The influential figures arriving at Extreme Land Square include not only the Clan Leader of the Zhao Clan but also the Clan Leader of the Tu Clan, with Tu Xuan accompanying Tu Sen beside the Clan Leader.

”Father, I didn’t expect the Pill Master’s Martial Arts Cultivation to be so formidable. Fighting Dongfang Ye from the Dongfang Family, he can actually hold his ground directly.” Tu Xuan watched Jing Yan battling Dongfang Ye, speaking with admiration.

”Hmm, indeed his combat power is impressive. As you mentioned before, this Pill Master is indeed very young, and his Life Aura is exuberantly vigorous. However, I’ve never heard of such a figure in the Shamanic Clouds Domain before, which makes his origins quite perplexing.” Tu Sen nodded, then shook his head in contemplation.

”Anyhow, his Alchemy Dao ability is genuine. Father, the Dongfang Family is bullying people.” Tu Xuan bit her lip as she spoke.

She was speaking in defense of Jing Yan.

Tu Sen glanced at his daughter with a slight smile.

”Xuan’er, Dongfang Ye can’t kill the Pill Master yet. Although he seems to have the upper hand, the Pill Master handles Dongfang Ye’s attacks with composure.” Tu Sen chuckled.

Tu Xuan’s face turned slightly red, as if her father had just uncovered her thoughts. Indeed, she was worried about Jing Yan’s life. Hearing Tu Sen say this, Tu Xuan felt relieved.

Above the vicinity of Extreme Land Square, several prominent members from the Nine Forces were actually present.

Since the activation time of the Extreme Land was imminent, some important figures from the Nine Forces had already arrived at Maoqiong Ridge in advance. The Clan Leader of the Tu Clan, the Clan Leader of the Zhao Clan, and likewise the Clan Leader of the Shan Clan Tribe were present.

Each time the Extreme Land opens, the Maoqiong Ridge administrators obtain a wealth of Wizard Crystal resources. These Wizard Crystals are shared among the Nine Forces. Hence, no force would miss such a sumptuous feast.

”Elder Dongfang!”

After watching for a while, Zhao Ming, the Clan Leader of the Zhao Clan, spoke.

Dongfang Ye had of course already noticed Zhao Ming and the others’ arrival, so when Zhao Ming called him, he flickered out of the battlefield.

Jing Yan did not pursue. Dongfang Ye’s strength was too formidable; even with all his methods, Jing Yan couldn’t kill Dongfang Ye at the moment.

”Clan Leader Zhao!” Dongfang Ye cupped his hands at Zhao Ming.

”Elder Dongfang holds a noble status; why engage in combat here?” Zhao Ming asked deliberately.

The process of the Dongfang Family’s enmity with Jing Yan was clear to him.

”This child killed three elders of my Dongfang Family, so I must kill him.” Dongfang Ye replied.

”Oh? This person dared to kill the elders of the Dongfang Family? Humph, quite bold.” Zhao Ming snorted coldly, casting a fierce glance at Jing Yan.

He seemed intent on attacking Jing Yan. The conversation with Dongfang Ye seemed like a search for a reason to strike.

”Elder Dongfang, this child seems strong. You battle him, but short-term it appears difficult to kill him. Our Zhao Clan has always had close ties with the Dongfang Family, so why not let me capture this child?” Clan Leader Zhao suggested.

”Well...” Dongfang Ye hesitated.

Zhao Ming taking action against Jing Yan wasn’t something Dongfang Ye wanted. Because, if Zhao Ming captured Jing Yan, he would likely not hand him over straightforwardly to the Dongfang Family. Even if Zhao Ming killed Jing Yan directly, the Wizard Crystals and other resources on Jing Yan wouldn’t benefit the Dongfang Family at all.

Zhao Ming and Dongfang Ye’s conversation didn’t avoid the presence of others. Jing Yan nearby certainly heard clearly. Hearing Zhao Ming’s words, Jing Yan became tense.

Facing Dongfang Ye, Jing Yan wasn’t too concerned. But facing Zhao Ming, Jing Yan couldn’t be composed. He felt Zhao Ming’s aura, possibly that of a High-level Chaotic Supreme. If not, very near that level.

”What do you think, Elder Dongfang?” Zhao Ming’s aura slightly condensed, faintly pressuring, asking Dongfang Ye again.

The Dongfang Family was indeed powerful. Moreover, relying on its Alchemy prowess, it could even challenge the Nine Five-star Forces in the Shamanic Clouds Domain to some extent. But ultimately, the Dongfang Family lacked somewhat in Martial Arts. Even the weakest of the Nine Five-star Forces in Martial Arts was not something the Dongfang Family could wholly contend with. Moreover, the Zhao Clan is one of the strongest among the Nine Five-star Forces.

Facing Zhao Ming, Dongfang Ye felt pressured. Dongfang Ye knew that if he refused Zhao Ming’s help now, it would displease Zhao Ming.

”If Clan Leader Zhao is willing to help, the Dongfang Family would most welcome it.” Dongfang Ye agreed.

Firstly, he didn’t want to offend the Zhao Clan. Secondly, currently, the Dongfang Family has limited power at Maoqiong Ridge, and he alone couldn’t kill Jing Yan.

”Hehe...”

Just as Zhao Ming nodded in satisfaction with Dongfang Ye being sensible, a laugh sounded.

The one laughing was the Clan Leader of the Tu Clan, Tu Sen.

Upon hearing the laugh, Zhao Ming immediately looked at Tu Sen with displeasure, his expression stern.

”Clan Leader Tu, why laugh?” Zhao Ming asked in a low tone.

If it were other cultivators of lower status and strength, Zhao Ming could reprimand or even punish them. But the opposite was Tu Sen, the Clan Leader of the Tu Clan, of equivalent standing, so he couldn’t effectively express his anger.

”Nothing. I just felt it necessary to remind Clan Leader Zhao that the Zhao Clan is also one of the Maoqiong Ridge administrators. Additionally, I heard that the Pill Master intends to enter the Extreme Land for cultivation.” Tu Sen spoke slowly.

Zhao Ming’s face turned gloomy, knowing the implications of Tu Sen’s words.

There are rules at Maoqiong Ridge. For ordinary cultivators at Maoqiong Ridge, mutual fights are not a problem; generally, the administrators don’t intervene. However, as an administrator, attacking and killing a cultivator who comes to Maoqiong Ridge without cause breaks an unwritten rule.

Moreover, if Jing Yan intends to enter the Extreme Land, it may bring considerable profits to the nine administrators. If Zhao Ming killed Jing Yan, it would offend the interests of the other eight administrators.

”Clan Leader Tu, are you protecting this child?” Zhao Ming pondered briefly before speaking.

”Clan Leader Zhao has overthought. I’m merely stating a fact. I believe it’s not just the viewpoint of the Tu Clan.” Tu Sen glanced at other important figures from the Five-star Forces nearby.

Those prominent figures all seemed to smile subtly.

They indeed did not wish to see Jing Yan killed. Jing Yan’s ability in Alchemy Dao attracted their intense interest. These major forces possibly all had intentions to win over Jing Yan. The lack of prior contact wasn’t due to disinterest but merely waiting for the opportunity.
