The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2105: Where Are You From?

Ying Zuo felt like he’d hit the jackpot.

Jing Yan’s strength was at least barely comparable to that of an ordinary Nether Sky Realm cultivator.

With Ying Zuo’s own strength and financial resources, under normal circumstances it was impossible for him to recruit a Nether Sky Realm level powerhouse. Even his father, Lord Ying Zhu, in countless years, had only a scant few Nether Sky Realm cultivators serving as his guests.

As for his brothers’ and sisters’ guests, the strongest were only at the Late Stage of All Things Realm; there wasn’t even one at the Peak of All Things Realm. The Sixth Lady’s guest, Mr. Dong, was very mysterious, but he also was not a cultivator at the Peak of All Things Realm; it was just that his offensive methods were rather bizarre and hard to guard against.

”Is there anyone else who wants to spar with the Seventh Young Master’s guest?” Jing Yan stood on the Battle Platform and continued to ask.

No one dared to answer.

Even Zhao Ping had been cleanly and decisively killed; among those present, who thought their life was too long and still wanted to go up?

No one went up to the Battle Platform again.

The Eldest Young Master, the Second Young Master and the others all honestly shut their mouths one by one.

”Sixth Lady, with Seventh Young Master having recruited such an existence, I’m afraid in the future...” Mr. Dong said quietly to the Sixth Lady.

The Sixth Lady shook her head and said, ”Mr. Dong, I know what you want to say. However, I don’t care about that. Even if in the future Father hands the territory over to Ying Zuo, I’d be happy to see it.”

These words of the Sixth Lady truly came from the bottom of her heart; she didn’t have much interest in the Lord’s position. Compared to the territory, she was actually more interested in cultivation. Relatively speaking, the Sixth Lady would rather let this seventh younger brother Ying Zuo become Lord, instead of her second or third brother.

Of course, it was still far too early to think about these things now. Her father, Lord Ying Zhu, would not hand the Lord’s seat over to his children in the short term.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan!”

Lord Ying Zhu once again stood up and spoke, cupping his hands toward Jing Yan at the same time.

”Lord!” Jing Yan cupped his hands in return.

Although this Lord was very biased toward the Second and the third brother and didn’t like Old Seven, that was their family matter; Jing Yan wasn’t going to say anything, much less get angry over it.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, such powerful methods. In my whole life, I, Ying Zhu, have never seen a Mid-stage of Everything Realm cultivator like Fellow Daoist Jing Yan.” Lord Ying Zhu said in a tone of admiration.

”You flatter me, Lord.” Jing Yan chuckled lightly.

Lord Ying Zhu nodded slightly to Jing Yan, then swept his gaze over the whole venue.

”This family meeting ends here! All of you, go back!” Lord Ying Zhu said.

As for Jing Yan killing Zhao Ping and the others, Lord Ying Zhu had no intention of pursuing it at all. If there was to be any pursuing or revenge, that would be up to his eldest and second sons. The ones Jing Yan had killed were all their guests. But obviously, they simply didn’t have the ability to take revenge.

Hearing these words from Ying Zhu, Jing Yan also left the Battle Platform and returned to the side of Seventh Young Master Ying Zuo.

”Mr. Jing Yan.” Ying Zuo looked at Jing Yan excitedly; his form of address had changed as well.

Before, he had always called him Brother Jing Yan, and now he was calling him Mr. Jing Yan. A bit less intimacy, and a bit more respect.

”Seventh Young Master, you’d better keep calling me Brother Jing Yan.” Jing Yan said with a smile.

He didn’t care about how he was addressed.

”Haha, Brother Jing Yan! Calling you brother does feel more intimate.” The Seventh Young Master was also a straightforward person; he could see that Jing Yan cared about being addressed more casually.

Huo Tong and the others at the Seventh Young Master’s side now looked at Jing Yan with eyes full of awe. This was someone who could insta-kill Zhao Ping! And such a figure had actually been by their side for nearly ten years. At this moment, they all felt it a bit unbelievable. And during these nearly ten years, although they hadn’t met Jing Yan many times, every time they did, their attitude was quite casual. Thinking of this, they all felt a bit excited—once they went out later, they could say they had once been on brotherly terms with a Nether Sky Realm level cultivator.

”Brother Jing Yan, in the future if you need anything, just come directly to me. As long as I can...” Ying Zuo started to say.

But he stopped halfway through his sentence, subconsciously closing his mouth. Because he realized that Jing Yan was an existence comparable to a Nether Sky Realm powerhouse. For such a powerhouse, the resources he needed and so on—could a neglected son of a Lord like him possibly satisfy that?

Would Jing Yan leave him?

Ying Zuo’s expression changed slightly, and he became somewhat dejected.

”Seventh Young Master, barring any surprises, I should be staying in Divine Martial City for quite a long time. As long as I’m still here, I’ll be by your side.” Jing Yan naturally saw through Seventh Young Master Ying Zuo’s thoughts and said it casually.

”Brother Jing Yan, you...” Ying Zuo was a bit tongue-tied.

”Ying Zuo, have your guests take Lu Tuan back to heal his injuries. Then you stay here with Fellow Daoist Jing Yan.” Lord Ying Zhu’s voice came.

Ying Zuo’s eyes lit up.

His father was leaving him and Jing Yan behind alone; this kind of treatment had never happened before.

The others all had their expressions change upon hearing Lord Ying Zhu’s words. Those young masters looked at Ying Zuo with very complicated eyes.

Because of the guest Jing Yan under Ying Zuo, their father’s attitude toward Ying Zuo had clearly undergone a great change! They were envious, yet helpless; there was nothing they could change. Among their own guests, there was simply no one who could compare to Jing Yan. The Second Young Master’s guest Zhao Ping had originally been ranked about first in strength among all the guests, but he’d been directly killed by Jing Yan.

The other guests under Ying Zuo took the heavily injured Lu Tuan away.

Jing Yan and Ying Zuo followed and arrived at a spacious room within the Lord Mansion.

Lord Ying Zhu ordered tea to be served.

Lord Ying Zhu had originally wanted Jing Yan to sit next to him, at a position on equal footing with him. But Jing Yan insisted on sitting beside Seventh Young Master Ying Zuo.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, you only arrived in Divine Martial City recently. I heard that my son Ying Zuo met you outside Divine Martial City, then invited you to become his guest, and you agreed.” Lord Ying Zhu looked at Jing Yan and asked.

”That is indeed the case.” Jing Yan nodded.

”Mm. I wonder if I may presumptuously ask, where did Fellow Daoist Jing Yan come from? In the entire Blue Rain Divine Continent, I’ve never heard of a Mid-stage of Everything Realm cultivator with strength like Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s.” Lord Ying Zhu’s tone carried a probing note.

Blue Rain Divine Continent was the name of a region. His Ying Family Territory was within the Blue Rain Divine Continent region, and was only a relatively ordinary territory within Blue Rain Divine Continent.

Jing Yan pondered for a moment before saying, ”Lord, I came from an extremely distant place. Coming here was also a chance coincidence. As for exactly where I came from, Lord, please don’t ask in detail. In any case, I will never harbor any malice toward the Ying Family.”

Jing Yan really couldn’t say he came from the Chaos World. Moreover, at Lord Ying Zhu’s mere Nether Sky Realm level, he probably didn’t even know of the Chaos World’s existence.
