The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2532: Chapter 2532: The Lord

Tianji Trading House!

President Jiang Yue slapped the expensive stone table in front of him fiercely. His expression was complex. He had just received news from the Thunder Domain: Hou Yang Immortal Venerable was defeated and fled, and Elder Ge Yi was killed by Hongmeng City Lord Jing Yan.

Jiang Yue, the President, had not anticipated this outcome. Even Hou Yang Immortal Venerable was defeated by Jing Yan. Who else in this domain could suppress Jing Yan? Perhaps only the Immortal Emperor could take action personally.

At this moment, Jiang Yue felt some regret in his heart. If he had known this earlier, he definitely wouldn’t have teamed up with the Eight Gods Pill Sect to seize the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye.

The losses for Tianji Trading House were enormous.

They not only lost the friendship of Hongmeng City but also lost a core elder and a guard team. Of course, now the extraordinarily valuable Sky Wing Flying Boat has fallen into Jing Yan’s hands.

Alongside President Jiang Yue were several elders of Tianji Trading House, including Elder Jin Cheng, who had met Jing Yan before. When Elder Jin Cheng first met Jing Yan, he had looked down on him, his demeanor was high and mighty. Now, his attitude seems quite laughable. To act arrogantly before someone who could defeat Hou Yang Immortal Venerable!

”Damn! Damn it!” President Jiang Yue’s mood was complex; he was very angry, yet not purely angry.

The enormous losses of Tianji Trading House could be said to be self-inflicted.

”President, now... what should we do?” an elder asked solemnly.

”What can we do? Hongmeng City cannot be touched unless the Immortal Emperor acts personally.” President Jiang Yue’s face was gloomy.

”President, at the very least, we must retrieve the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat,” an elder insists.

”Will Jing Yan return the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat? He killed Elder Ge Yi without hesitation. Under such circumstances, will he return the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat to Tianji Trading House?” An elder shook his head.

”Regardless, we must try. A Heavenly Domain Flying Boat is worth more than ten trillion Black Crystal Stones!” sighed one elder.

”We shouldn’t have used the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat! Alas, who could have expected Hou Yang Immortal Venerable to not be a match for Jing Yan. This Jing Yan came from the Thunder Domain and possesses the Thunder Origin.” Elder Jin Cheng shook his head heavily.

”Hmph, he can’t jump around for long! He is a remnant of the Thunder Domain, and someone will deal with him. Perhaps the Immortal Emperor will take action against Hongmeng City. Perhaps soon we’ll hear news of Hongmeng City’s downfall.” President Jiang Yue steadied his mood, speaking in a deep, icy voice.

There were traces of the Immortal Emperor’s involvement in the decline of the Thunder Domain. Reportedly, the Thunder Emperor fell long ago.

...

Eight Gods Pill Sect!

Sect Master Ming Ze sat on a broad chair, expression somewhat dazed.

Hou Yang Immortal Venerable was defeated, and Elder Kang Li died. When this news came back, the entire upper echelons of the Eight Gods Pill Sect were stunned.

How could Jing Yan be so strong?

”Sect Master, what... should we do next?” asked a High Grade Immortal Alchemist looking at Sect Master Ming Ze.

Sect Master Ming Ze shook his head, ”What can we do? Nothing! Just wait! With the strength of our Eight Gods Pill Sect, we cannot deal with Hongmeng City.”

The Eight Gods Pill Sect never relied on force to dominate the Heavenly Domain. They rely on the Alchemy Dao.

”I heard the Tianji Trading House’s Heavenly Domain Flying Boat was taken by Hongmeng City. This time, Tianji Trading House suffered greatly,” remarked an Immortal Alchemist glancing at others present.

”The great loss of Tianji Trading House is their own affair. They too desired the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye, didn’t they?” commented another Immortal Alchemist.

”Perhaps Hongmeng City won’t exist for long. When Jing Yan fought with Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, he used the Immortal Technique Thunder Origin, he must have some connection with the Thunder Emperor. Some influential figures don’t wish to see the Thunder Domain revive.” Someone said with a focused gaze.

...

Golden Toad Commerce!

From the moment Hou Yang Immortal Venerable and his team arrived at Hongmeng City and confronted City Lord Jing Yan, Golden Toad Commerce had been closely following the battle. With extensive interests in Hongmeng City, they had to monitor the situation closely. Because if City Lord Jing Yan were to be defeated, Hongmeng City would fall into the hands of the Eight Gods Pill Sect and Tianji Trading House. In that event, Golden Toad Commerce would have to step forward to protect its interests from damage.

With such close attention, the leaders of Golden Toad Commerce received news of Hou Yang Immortal Venerable’s defeat and flight outside Hongmeng City.

The president, along with Elder Gao Zhenjiang and Elder Yu Luo, were equally stunned. They had initially thought Hongmeng City was doomed, not expecting the situation to take such a dramatic turn.

”Haha...” Gao Zhenjiang laughed loudly, ”Tianji Trading House and Eight Gods Pill Sect suffered massive losses this time. They thought Hongmeng City was easy to bully, and believed a single Hou Yang Immortal Venerable could settle Hongmeng City. Now, they must be regretting it deeply!”

”Frankly, we didn’t expect this either! Just now, we were discussing strategies for dealing with the change of ownership in Hongmeng City.” A laughing Elder remarked.

”With Hongmeng City’s great prosperity, we must offer our congratulations!” The president of the commerce spoke.

”I’ll send a message to City Lord Jing Yan, expressing congratulations from Golden Toad Commerce.” Gao Zhenjiang said, attempting to send the message on the spot.

”Let me send the message to City Lord Jing Yan myself!” The president raised his hand, stopping Gao Zhenjiang’s action, deciding to send the message personally.

The president’s action showed that Golden Toad Commerce already considered Hongmeng City as a power comparable to themselves. Though Hongmeng City is but a single city, its City Lord is Jing Yan, and having City Lord Jing Yan alone suffices.

It’s worth noting that the leaders of superpowers have a very courteous attitude towards powerhouses like Hou Yang Immortal Venerable. When Hou Yang Immortal Venerable visits most superpowers as a guest, the leaders converse with him on equal terms. City Lord Jing Yan’s strength surpasses Hou Yang Immortal Venerable!

...

Yama Palace!

Yama Palace Master Yu Hentian stood in the spacious palace for a long time.

In front of him was a table of very peculiar shape. The table was engraved with extremely complex Divine Patterns, and Supreme Daoist Rhythms flowed across its surface. Clearly, this peculiar table was crafted by the hands of an Immortal Emperor.

After standing for a long time, Yu Hentian finally stepped before the table. He released his Divine Soul Power, enveloping the unusual table.

”Master!” Yu Hentian carefully sent out a reverent Divine Thought.

As the Palace Master of Yama Palace, the one he would address respectfully as ”Master” was already very clear: it was the Immortal Emperor who established Yama Palace.

After Yu Hentian sent out this Divine Thought, he didn’t immediately receive a response. He waited for nearly thirty minutes. Suddenly, a vague silhouette gradually appeared on the peculiar table.
