The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2293: Chapter 2293: Leave It to Us

After Bai Wentai, the other Immortal Venerables also bowed deeply to Jing Yan.

Without Jing Yan, Bai City would have fallen today, and all of them would have perished at the hands of these demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

”No need to be so polite,” Jing Yan waved his hand and said, ”If you want to thank someone, you should thank Lady Bing Li. I am a cultivator she summoned from the Nine Days of the Immortal Domain.”

Bai Wentai and the others all chuckled.

Indeed, Jing Yan was summoned by Bai Bingli from the Nine Days of the Immortal Domain, but with Jing Yan’s strength, who would dare consider him an ordinary summoned being? Even the Youlong Demon Lord, with his sky-high demonic flames, died at the hands of Mr. Jing Yan.

”Lord Bu Yun!”

”Lord Tian Ba!”

”...”

Everyone turned and saluted the group of people who came over. The leading four were Bu Yun and several other overlords from Iron Bay.

”Family Head Bai, I’m really sorry we couldn’t help,” Bu Yun said apologetically to Bai Wentai.

He wanted to help Bai City fend off the demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, but he simply couldn’t break through the golden barrier of the Moon God Bell. If it weren’t for Jing Yan, he could only watch as Bai City was razed to the ground.

”Lord Bu Yun, your words are too serious. We all know you tried your best,” Bai Wentai quickly said.

Bu Yun nodded, saying no more.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan,” Bu Yun cupped his hand towards Jing Yan.

”You are truly impressive, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan,” Niu Yan Dominator complimented.

The several overlords of Iron Bay all greeted Jing Yan, and Jing Yan politely returned their greetings. Before this, Jing Yan only knew of Bu Yun’s identity among the four overlords, as the other three had arrived at Bai City later. However, from Bai Wentai and the others’ greetings, Jing Yan learned about the identities of these overlords and now knew that all four were overlord-level figures from Iron Bay.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, is it possible to find a place to chat?” Tian Ba Dominator looked at Jing Yan and asked.

”Oh?” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed.

He then nodded and said, ”Sure, no problem.”

The four overlords and Jing Yan left Bai City and went to a secluded place. Bai Wentai and the others did not follow. The overlords of Iron Bay wanted to converse with Jing Yan, and they were not qualified to join.

Bai Wentai ordered the Bai Family and the cultivators in the city to clear the battlefield and repair the city’s buildings. He also had some array masters repair the damaged big array of the city. This time, among the demons who died in Bai City, there were tens of Immortal Venerable Realm protectors, and these demons left behind a large amount of treasures and other resources.

...

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, do you know what treasure it is that can release a golden barrier?” Tian Ba Dominator looked at Jing Yan and asked.

The other three also looked at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan shook his head.

He really didn’t know what the Moon God Bell was, only that its power had surpassed the normal range of magic treasures. Merely releasing a barrier made these overlord-level figures helpless, which was definitely not the power of an Immortal Venerable level magic treasure.

Of course, Bai Wentai knew about the Moon God Bell, but Jing Yan had not had a chance to inquire yet.

Seeing Jing Yan shake his head, the four overlords looked at each other in surprise.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, do you know the situation of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain?” Sovereign Zong Ming spoke.

”I’ve heard a bit. However, I’ve not been in Iron Bay long, and this was my first encounter with cultivators from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain,” Jing Yan said.

”The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain has five Demon Lords. The Youlong Demon Lord ranks third, and is thus also called the Third Demon Lord. Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, how do you evaluate the strength of the Youlong Demon Lord?” Tian Ba Dominator interjected and asked.

”Very strong, capable of ranking among the peak Immortal Venerables even in the Nine Days of the Immortal Domain,” Jing Yan truthfully said.

The strength of the Youlong Demon Lord should surpass Yuantong Immortal Venerable. And Yuantong Immortal Venerable was already considered a very powerful Immortal Venerable Realm cultivator in Faro Heaven. If the Youlong Demon Lord were in Faro Heaven, he would definitely be in the first-class sequence of Immortal Venerables. Of course, his strength should be a notch below Wu Guo Heavenly Lord.

The gap in strength between Immortal Venerables is also very significant.

Whether in the Nine Days of the Immortal Domain or this Nightmare City region, the history is extremely long, with some Immortal Venerables living for uncounted ages, their power unimaginable. Furthermore, normal Immortal Venerable cultivators could still obtain Immortal Venerable Seals in the Immortal Venerable Tower, and the grade and power gap of these seals is also substantial. The strength of an Immortal Venerable cultivator who ascends the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet is even harder to measure.

Even if Jing Yan were to return to West Faro Heaven and enter the Immortal Venerable Tower now, he wouldn’t be absolutely confident of ascending the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet.

”Yes, out of the five Demon Lords of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, the Youlong Demon Lord is not the strongest. The Second Demon Lord, Fourth Demon Lord, and Fifth Demon Lord have comparable strength to him. These extreme Demon Lords are no threat to Fellow Daoist Jing Yan. However, the Great Demon Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is an incredibly formidable Immortal Venerable powerhouse.”

”To put it simply, if the Youlong Demon Lord were to fight the Great Demon Lord, he might not withstand even a single move,” Tian Ba Dominator nodded and said.

”That strong?” Jing Yan was also surprised.

The Youlong Demon Lord was already very strong, yet he couldn’t even withstand a single move from the Great Demon Lord. How powerful must the Great Demon Lord be?

”It’s true. Fellow Daoist Jing Yan need not doubt. In our Iron Bay, there was once an Immortal Venerable named Yan Shu whose strength was about the same as ours. And our strength might even be slightly stronger than the Youlong Demon Lord. Yet Yan Shu Immortal Venerable was killed in a single move by the Great Demon Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain,” Niu Yan Dominator said, his eyes bulging as he looked at Jing Yan.

”Are you telling me these things to warn me about the Great Demon Lord’s revenge from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain?” Jing Yan asked.

He thought it seemed like these overlord-level figures had a different purpose by calling him out of the city to say these things.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, you misunderstand us!”

”Although you killed the Youlong Demon Lord, for this matter alone, the Great Demon Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain won’t seek revenge. The Youlong Demon Lord died for failing to massacre a city, and, according to past examples, the Great Demon Lord won’t pursue this matter. When a Demon Lord dies, a new one quickly takes their place,” Bu Yun overlord chuckled.

”However, there is another matter that the Great Demon Lord will not tolerate,” Bu Yun overlord’s speech took a turn.

”Indeed, it concerns that treasure. Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, that treasure you took is called the Moon God Bell, and it is an Emperor Weapon!” Tian Ba Dominator interjected.

”An Emperor Weapon?” Jing Yan’s eyes flashed.

While in the Nine Days of the Immortal Domain, Jing Yan had heard of Emperor Weapons, which are treasures used by the Immortal Emperor.

”Yes, the Emperor Weapon, the Moon God Bell. The loss of this treasure is something the Great Demon Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain will not let go. Although Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s strength is considerable, probably even surpassing ours a bit, it won’t be enough to withstand the Great Demon Lord. Therefore, keeping this Emperor Weapon will only bring disaster,” Tian Ba Dominator said solemnly.

”Oh? In that case... what should I do?” Jing Yan squinted his eyes.

”It’s simple. Just let us four handle this Emperor Weapon,” Tian Ba Dominator suggested.
