The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2376: Chapter 2376: Nearly Killed Me

Wan Lunhai looked at Wuxia Immortal Venerable with a flattering smile.

”Master Wan, you are being too polite!” Wuxia Immortal Venerable said as she reached out her jade-like hand to accept the storage magical treasure handed over by Wan Lunhai.

With a slight movement of Divine Thought, Wuxia Immortal Venerable had a clear view of the contents inside the storage magical treasure. When she saw the massive amount of Black Crystal Stones and various rare resources, she couldn’t help but feel a bit moved.

Jing Yan had told her in advance that Wan Lunhai would return to the Mystic Moon Trading House to offer a formal apology, so she was somewhat prepared. Still, upon seeing the quantity of resources inside the storage magical treasure, she was a bit surprised.

This time, the Sect Leader of Heavenly Gate Dao Sect, Wan Lunhai, probably went all out.

In fact, as Wan Lunhai took out such a massive amount of resources, his heart was bleeding, as if his life was being drained. However, he had no choice. In comparison to the destruction of Heavenly Gate Dao Sect, offering these resources as compensation was nothing. He was genuinely afraid of Jing Yan going to the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect, and by then, the sect would stand no chance of defense, and no one in the entire Heavenly Domain could help him or the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect.

”Wuxia Immortal Venerable, this is a token from me and the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect. Please, you must not refuse it,” Wan Lunhai said with a grin, ”And please, Wuxia Immortal Venerable, you must forgive the previous mistakes made by the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect. We now genuinely realize the errors of our ways and promise not to repeat them.”

Wan Lunhai closely observed the expression changes of Wuxia Immortal Venerable.

Although Jing Yan did not come out to see him this time, Wan Lunhai knew that wasn’t important. As long as Wuxia Immortal Venerable did not hold the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect accountable, Immortal Venerable Jing Yan would not make things difficult for them. The key issue lied with Wuxia Immortal Venerable.

Wuxia turned her gaze to Wan Lunhai and said, ”I have felt the sincerity of Master Wan’s apology. I also understand that the matter also involves Min Lan Immortal Venerable, a disciple of Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable. Master Wan was mainly misled by Min Lan Immortal Venerable. So, let’s not mention this matter again in the future.”

Wuxia Immortal Venerable was quite satisfied with Wan Lunhai’s compensation. Of course, her choice to forgive Wan Lunhai was also related to Jing Yan’s previous instructions. Jing Yan had said that if Wan Lunhai could offer a compensation that satisfied Wuxia, then the matter could be put to rest.

”Thank you, Wuxia Immortal Venerable!” Wan Lunhai felt as though he had been granted amnesty.

Wan Lunhai had also heard about the day when Immortal Venerable Jing Yan was attacked by an Immortal Emperor outside the Wu Guo Heavenly Lord Residence, and Immortal Venerable Jing Yan withstood the attack. Many said that the Immortal Emperor would certainly target Immortal Venerable Jing Yan again in the future. But for Wan Lunhai, that was a matter for the future. If he couldn’t resolve the current issue, the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect would not survive until the Immortal Emperor’s next attack on Immortal Venerable Jing Yan.

”Wuxia Immortal Venerable, I’ll take my leave now.” Wan Lunhai cupped his hands in farewell.

”Alright, let me see off Master Wan,” Wuxia Immortal Venerable nodded.

”No need, no need, Wuxia Immortal Venerable, don’t go to the trouble. I can leave by myself,” Wan Lunhai waved his hand while walking towards the door of the reception hall.

Elder Kuo Lian stood not far from the door, keeping an eye on the happenings inside the reception hall. As Wan Lunhai came out of the meeting room, Elder Kuo Lian stepped forward.

”Master Wan, the Mystic Moon Trading House has already prepared a banquet,” Elder Kuo Lian said with a smile.

”Elder Kuo Lian, you’re too kind, but... I have some matters to handle at the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect, so I cannot stay long this time,” Wan Lunhai quickly said.

Wan Lunhai had become quite humble even with Elder Kuo Lian. In the past, such a scenario would have been unimaginable. Though the Mystic Moon Trading House was a superpower in the Heavenly Domain, it still couldn’t be compared with the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect in terms of combat strength. Moreover, Elder Kuo Lian’s personal strength was much weaker than Wan Lunhai’s. So in past encounters, Elder Kuo Lian would have been the one in a lesser position. Now, the situation was reversed.

”I see, then I won’t detain Master Wan any longer,” Elder Kuo Lian understood Wan Lunhai’s intentions clearly.

...

”Jing Yan.”

After Wan Lunhai left the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters, Wuxia Immortal Venerable came to see Jing Yan.

”Wuxia, has Wan Lunhai left?” Jing Yan asked with a smile when he saw Wuxia Immortal Venerable come in from outside.

”Yes, he has left the Mystic Moon Trading House,” Wuxia Immortal Venerable nodded, ”Jing Yan, these are the resources Wan Lunhai sent, take a look.”

Wuxia Immortal Venerable handed the storage magical treasure to Jing Yan.

”This is Wan Lunhai’s gift for you; I won’t look at it. As long as you’re satisfied, that’s what matters.” Jing Yan did not accept the storage magical treasure.

”But there are just too many resources,” Wuxia Immortal Venerable frowned slightly.

The resources stored inside the storage magical treasure were incredibly vast, and Wuxia Immortal Venerable had never seen so many resources before. Of course, given that she hadn’t been in the Immortal Venerable Realm for long, she was once just a cultivator in the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm and merely a Heavenly Monarch on a Divine Continent under Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s jurisdiction.

The resources in the storage magical treasure were accumulated by the superpower Heavenly Gate Dao Sect over a century. Even veteran Immortal Venerables might have rarely seen such a large quantity of resources.

”Having more resources is beneficial. Wuxia, in the future, the resources you’ll need for cultivation will be unimaginable. With this sum brought by Wan Lunhai, at least you won’t have to deliberately seek out resources for a while,” Jing Yan said with a chuckle.

Jing Yan knew Wan Lunhai wouldn’t be stingy this time, but he didn’t care much for the resources. He held innumerable resources, not to mention the assorted magic treasures related to Divine Souls that he hadn’t yet used, which he obtained while leaving Nightmare City. The resources he collected from slaying Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable and others were also quite substantial. Furthermore, Jing Yan had taken over the Fire Cloud Crystal Stone ore veins in the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory.

Currently, Mystic Moon Trading House’s mining of the Fire Cloud Crystal Stone in the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory was gradually getting on track, and a large amount would be sent to Jing Yan. As the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory was the only source of Fire Cloud Crystal Stones in the entire Heavenly Domain, other Immortal Venerables seeking these stones for cultivation would have to purchase them from Jing Yan. Conceivably, selling Fire Cloud Crystal Stones would exponentially increase Jing Yan’s wealth.

Of course, for some veteran Immortal Venerables, Jing Yan needed to share a portion of the Fire Cloud Crystal Stones. In the past, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable did the same to build his personal network. With figures like Wu Guo Heavenly Lord, Yangshan Master, and Immortal Venerable Wen Jiang, Jing Yan shouldn’t have them buy Fire Cloud Crystal Stones from him, as this could lead to trouble in the future and no one would be willing to support him.

Forging alliances with some and opposing others is a long-term strategy.

”Alright then, I shall accept these resources for now,” Wuxia Immortal Venerable nodded, her violet eyes filled with joy.
