The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2538: Chapter 2538: Teaching You a Lesson

If Jing Yan controls the Immortal Venerable Tower of Kunling Heaven, what will the superpowers like Eight Gods Pill Sect, Sima Family, and Tianji Trading House, who harbor grudges against Jing Yan, think?

Will their newly advanced Immortal Venerables still be able to enter the Immortal Venerable Tower to obtain the Immortal Venerable Seal?

The Immortal Venerable Tower exists there, seeming not very important. But for any major power, the Immortal Venerable Tower is a necessary tool, an indispensable resource. These formidable powers can accept the Immortal Venerable Tower being controlled by a neutral Heavenly Lord, but they absolutely cannot accept it being controlled by Jing Yan.

Diao Rong Heavenly Lord’s words meant exactly this.

However, after Diao Rong Heavenly Lord finished speaking, Jing Yan did not stop his attack on Diao Rong Heavenly Lord. The sword light of the Chaos Sword was already sweeping towards Diao Rong Heavenly Lord.

”Insane! You’ve gone insane!” Diao Rong Heavenly Lord urgently defended against Jing Yan’s attack.

Diao Rong Heavenly Lord was not weak, far more powerful than those first-rate Immortal Venerable Peak experts. But compared to Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, he was clearly one tier lower. Jing Yan, even without using the Thunder Origin Immortal Skill, could completely suppress Diao Rong Heavenly Lord.

”Boom!”

”Bang! Bang!”

After several exchanges, Diao Rong Heavenly Lord was retreating step by step.

”Jing Yan, what exactly do you want to do!” Diao Rong Heavenly Lord shouted angrily in his spare moments.

If he had known Jing Yan was this crazy, he might not have refused to allow Xu Yiming to enter the Immortal Venerable Tower to obtain the Immortal Venerable Seal. Diao Rong realized that he seemed to have provoked a true madman, a madman who does things without considering the consequences.

At this moment, Diao Rong was already suppressed to the point of having no power to counterattack, barely able to sustain himself.

”Kneel before me!” Jing Yan uttered in a low voice.

”Clear Wave Cavern!” High-level Soul Technique Clear Wave Cavern suddenly activated.

Diao Rong Heavenly Lord’s Divine Soul Body trembled violently, followed by a terrifying pain spreading throughout his body. He could feel the vast pressure weighing down heavily on him, but he was powerless to resist.

His knees involuntarily ’thumped’ onto the ground.

When he regained consciousness, he only saw the Longsword in Jing Yan’s hand, pressing against his forehead. Diao Rong, one of the Heavenly Lords of Kunling Heaven, was now kneeling before Jing Yan. Moreover, if Jing Yan chose to continue thrusting the sword, his life might end here.

Not only that, his Divine Soul Body was also severely damaged.

”Your... your Divine Soul Attack has surprisingly reached such a level.” Diao Rong Heavenly Lord said with a mix of shock and anger, breathing heavily as he looked at Jing Yan.

Deep inside his eyes, there was an overwhelming fear. Diao Rong Heavenly Lord usually appeared arrogant and aloof, but in truth, he was very afraid of death.

Shame, terror, his emotions were extremely complicated at this moment.

”Diao Rong!” Jing Yan spoke.

”If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t even have the chance to escape. Hou Yang had a Space Treasure personally refined by an Immortal Emperor, so he was able to escape from me. But you, clearly do not possess such a Space Treasure. Do you understand what my words mean?” Jing Yan looked down on Diao Rong.

”This time, I won’t kill you; making you kneel is to teach you a lesson in being human. But I need you to get far away. Don’t ever appear in front of me again; otherwise, next time will be your death. The next time we meet, I won’t be merciful; I’ll use this sword to make a hole in your head.” Jing Yan said expressionlessly.

”You...” In Diao Rong’s mind, it went blank; he couldn’t even fathom how humiliating it would be when today’s events got out.

”Go.” Jing Yan shouted sternly.

Diao Rong stood up, somewhat dazed. He retreated a few steps, then turned and hurriedly flew away.

As for Diao Rong’s previous guards and escort, they also fled swiftly. Diao Rong did not establish his own power, and he did not have many subordinates.

”Yiming, let’s go to the Immortal Venerable Tower.” Jing Yan looked at Xu Yiming and said.

”City Lord, this... will it be troublesome? That Diao Rong despite being nasty, his words were not without reason. Some superpowers may not want the Immortal Venerable Tower to be in Hongmeng City’s hands. Will they act rashly?” Xu Yiming said as he looked at Jing Yan.

”I’ve already considered this.” Jing Yan replied.

”If the Immortal Venerable Tower is under my control, it indeed isn’t suitable, at least for now... the time isn’t ripe. The pinnacle force of our Hongmeng City isn’t strong enough.” Jing Yan said, shaking his head lightly.

To put it bluntly, the foundation isn’t thick enough.

If Hongmeng City had dozens of experts at the Immortal Charm Peak Realm, then Jing Yan wouldn’t have to worry about being stretched thin.

”I’ll invite Master Ru Yueyi to take charge of the Immortal Venerable Tower. Master Ru Yueyi will likely agree.” Jing Yan said after pausing.

For now, letting Master Ru Yueyi take over the Immortal Venerable Tower is the most suitable choice for Jing Yan. Master Ru Yueyi has some connections with both Jing Yan and Hongmeng City; many of Master Ru Yueyi’s juniors are studying Array Dao in Hongmeng City.

Having Master Ru Yueyi control the Immortal Venerable Tower won’t excessively provoke powers like Tianji Trading House; they won’t go all out against Hongmeng City.

Xu Yiming entered the Immortal Venerable Tower.

The events that occurred at the Immortal Venerable Tower quickly spread. The news of Diao Rong Heavenly Lord being forced to kneel by Jing Yan caused a sensation within the Heavenly Domain. Many big figures openly and secretly expressed their condemnation of City Lord Jing Yan. Diao Rong Heavenly Lord had controlled the Immortal Venerable Tower for a long time, and naturally, he had friends and some influential people speaking on his behalf.

However, just as Jing Yan had anticipated, those superpowers were only saying things at the surface level. Once they learned the Immortal Venerable Tower would be controlled by Master Ru Yueyi, they abandoned their plans to mobilize against Hongmeng City en masse.

Through this event, countless people gained a deeper understanding of City Lord Jing Yan.

Diao Rong Heavenly Lord refused to allow a newly advanced Immortal Venerable under Jing Yan to enter the Immortal Venerable Tower to obtain the Immortal Venerable Seal, prompting Jing Yan to personally seize control of the Immortal Venerable Tower. This kind of dominance was truly intimidating.

Of course, dominance requires strength as its foundation. Without sufficient power, dominance is a joke, an invitation to humiliation.

During the time Xu Yiming spent in the Immortal Venerable Tower, Jing Yan didn’t immediately return to Leiyu Hongmeng City; instead, he temporarily stayed at the Heavenly Lord Palace originally belonging to Diao Rong. He was waiting there for Master Ru Yueyi to arrive.

About a month later, Master Ru Yueyi arrived.

”City Lord Jing Yan, you... you’ve certainly handed me a difficult problem!” Master Ru Yueyi said with a wry smile upon seeing Jing Yan, shaking his head.

Jing Yan’s request for him to control the Immortal Venerable Tower would inevitably earn him the displeasure of many people. Those cultivators who had a good relationship with Diao Rong would certainly have reservations about him, Ru Yueyi.

However, taking charge of the Immortal Venerable Tower was not without benefits for him. If there were no benefits at all, Master Ru Yueyi, who wasn’t foolish, would certainly not come just because of Jing Yan’s request.
