The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2342: Chapter 2342: Under Heavy Pressure

Anger swirled in Jing Yan’s heart.

Regarding the Sect Leader of Heavenly Gate Dao Sect, Wan Lunhai, Jing Yan’s understanding was limited to some rumors. He had never even met Wan Lunhai in person. Initially, before the auction for the Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Technique was held at the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters, Wan Lunhai had visited the headquarters to discuss the private purchase of the virtualization technique with Elder Kuo Lian. After being refused, Wan Lunhai left; he did not attend the auction, leaving only an elder of the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect at the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters.

”Mr. Jing Yan, the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect is really going too far, we have no grievances with them!” Chief Zhan Zhong also had a face full of anger.

Originally, Mystic Moon Trading House promised to fully support Jing Yan against the Slaughter God Hall, but now with the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect interfering, Mystic Moon Trading House will inevitably be affected. If Mystic Moon Trading House sends a group of Immortal Venerable strong practitioners to assist Jing Yan, the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect will also send a group of Immortal Venerable strong practitioners to intercept the Immortal Venerable Elders from Mystic Moon Trading House, which might cause a fight between Mystic Moon Trading House and the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect first.

”They will regret it.” Jing Yan suppressed his anger, clenching his fists.

It’s a pity that I’m not an Immortal Emperor; otherwise, these issues wouldn’t be issues at all.

Now he also had to calm himself down.

The Heavenly Gate Dao Sect and the Slaughter God Hall, neither of them are easy to deal with. Then there’s that Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, the master of Min Lan. Although he has been quiet for some time, Jing Yan knew that he hasn’t taken his eyes off him in the past three hundred years.

Chief Zhan Zhong glanced at Jing Yan.

He is just a cultivator at the Immortal Rhythm Level and cannot help in such high-level conflicts. Everything depends on Mr. Jing Yan.

”Mr. Jing Yan, Yuantong Immortal Venerable has arrived.” At this moment, Che Zi walked in from outside and reported to Jing Yan.

”Yuantong Immortal Venerable?” Jing Yan asked with some surprise, ”Please, hurry.”

Moments later, Che Zi brought Yuantong Immortal Venerable into the palace within the residence.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan.” Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s expression was somewhat excited upon seeing Jing Yan.

His face showed signs of weariness.

”Fellow Daoist Yuantong, it’s been tough on you during this time.” Jing Yan sighed lightly and said.

Jing Yan knew what Yuantong Immortal Venerable had been doing recently. Before Jing Yan returned to Faro Heaven, Yuantong Immortal Venerable had already teamed up with Mystic Moon Trading House to eliminate members of the Slaughter God Hall.

Mystic Moon Trading House had its members fight against the Slaughter God Hall, while Yuantong Immortal Venerable took action personally, not involving his own Heavenly Monarchs. Being in the Immortal Venerable Realm, he was swift and ruthless with cultivators below the Immortal Venerable Realm from the Slaughter God Hall. The Slaughter God Hall suffered significant losses and sent several Saint Hands to besiege Yuantong Immortal Venerable, forcing him to flee to the edge of Faro Heaven, only returning recently from the edge of the Heavenly Domain.

”Alas, I lack the capability.” Yuantong Immortal Venerable sighed helplessly.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I heard you are going to the Slaughter God Hall, is that true?” Yuantong Immortal Venerable turned and asked.

”Yes, I’m about to set off.” Jing Yan nodded.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, do you know what the Slaughter God Hall is? It is a force established by an Immortal Emperor, breaking it is too difficult.” Yuantong Immortal Venerable shook his head.

”Wuxia is inside the Slaughter God Hall, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, I will go.” Jing Yan was adamant.

”Good! Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, please allow me to accompany you.” Yuantong Immortal Venerable gritted his teeth and said.

He certainly knew how perilous it was to go to the Slaughter God Hall, and that the trip might mean never returning, but he was still willing to go with Jing Yan. Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s attitude surprised Jing Yan, who also felt touched amidst his surprise.

However, Jing Yan did not intend to take Yuantong Immortal Venerable with him. The Slaughter God Hall was indeed extremely dangerous, and though Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s combat power was decent, it was not outstanding among cultivators in the Immortal Venerable Realm. If there were dozens of cultivators like Yuantong Immortal Venerable acting together, it would be different; as it was, Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s presence alone wouldn’t influence much, and when the battle started, Jing Yan wouldn’t be able to look after Yuantong Immortal Venerable, who had a high chance of being killed by the Saint Hands or the Big Array of the Slaughter God Hall.

”Fellow Daoist Yuantong, you should wait for me at Wuxia City. There’s no need for you to say more, if I can’t rescue Wuxia from the Slaughter God Hall, your presence won’t change the outcome.” Jing Yan gestured to Yuantong Immortal Venerable.

Hearing Jing Yan’s words, Yuantong Immortal Venerable sighed again. He already knew Jing Yan had stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm, and had killed Min Lan Immortal Venerable and Ke Fa Immortal Venerable one after the other, his strength far exceeding his own.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I’ve still decided to go with you to the Slaughter God Hall. However, I won’t venture deep into the Slaughter God Hall’s lair, but will only harass them on the outskirts. If I can lure away some Saint Hands from the Slaughter God Hall, I can alleviate some pressure on you.” Yuantong Immortal Venerable insisted.

”This... can work. Fellow Daoist Yuantong, then be sure to be careful.” After pondering for a moment, Jing Yan nodded.

Harassing the outskirts of the Slaughter God Hall’s lair is relatively less dangerous, at least without having to face those terrifying formations of the Slaughter God Hall.

The most core formation of the Slaughter God Hall likely has very few outsiders in all of Faro Heaven who truly know of its power. Perhaps, even the Saint Hands of the Slaughter God Hall may not be entirely clear. Among the Twelve Saints of the Slaughter God Hall, the First Saint enjoys the highest status and strongest power; besides the First Saint, the other Saints might not fully understand the power of their lair’s most core formation.

Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters.

The elders gathered once more for discussion.

They had just announced their full support for Jing Yan when the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect brazenly intervened, disregarding the face of the Mystic Moon Trading House, claiming that they needed to prevent Mystic Moon Trading House from supporting Jing Yan to maintain stability in Faro Heaven.

Elder Kuo Lian and others, of course, knew that what the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect was saying was nonsense, but they had to reconsider the feasibility of assisting Jing Yan.

”Everyone, if we insist on attacking the Slaughter God Hall, we likely will be intercepted midway by the strong practitioners from the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect. At that time, it would be hard to assist Fellow Daoist Jing Yan! If we do not act, the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect should also remain still.” said one elder.

In terms of combat power, Mystic Moon Trading House had no advantage over the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect and was actually at a disadvantage.

”Hmm?” Elder Ming Hua frowned, checking his communication magical treasure.

After reading the message, Elder Ming Hua looked gravely at the other elders and said, ”The one from Fiery Flame Extreme Territory has spoken again!”

”What?”

”Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable? What did he say?”

”Didn’t he say to give Fellow Daoist Jing Yan three hundred years? Wasn’t he actually waiting for Fellow Daoist Jing Yan to go to the Slaughter God Hall first?”

The elders all turned their gaze to Elder Ming Hua, Elder Kuo Lian included.

”Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable has released information that he will not allow Mystic Moon Trading House to disrupt the order of Faro Heaven. If Mystic Moon Trading House insists on going its way, he will categorize Mystic Moon Trading House as a hostile force and ensure that Mystic Moon Trading House will never again obtain Fire Cloud Crystal Stone.” Elder Ming Hua took a breath, speaking in a slow, low tone.
