The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 350: 350 Chapter 350: 350 Upon hearing Jing Yan say that Jing Chunyu had died, Jing Chengye and the others were all slightly taken aback.

“Jing Chunyu is dead?

How did he die?” an elder asked involuntarily.

Of course, everyone in the Jing Family wanted to get rid of the traitor, Jing Chunyu.

However, killing him was no simple matter.

Jing Chunyu himself possessed great strength, and now, if any member of the Jing Family’s Innate Realm left their estate, the Zhao Family would be notified and arrange an ambush, leaving them powerless to execute the traitor Jing Chunyu.

“I just visited the Splendid Pill Tower and happened to see Jing Chunyu accompanied by Zhao Family Guards causing trouble there, so I took the opportunity to kill him.

Also, I’ve wiped out all of the Zhao Family’s people at the South District Market Management Office,” Jing Yan said casually.

Jing Chengye and the others all held their breath.

Jing Yan’s words were casual, but to them, this was nothing short of a bombshell!

Inside the South District Market Management Office was the Great Elder of the Zhao Family.

Jing Yan killed everyone at the office?

This was simply unbelievable!

Just how strong was Jing Yan?

Jing Chunyu was one thing, possessing only the Cultivation of the Late Innate Realm.

But the Great Elder of the Zhao Family was a bona fide strong man at the Peak of the Innate Realm!

Looking at Jing Yan again, he was not even wounded, which meant that his strength had to far surpass that of the Zhao Family’s Great Elder.

Jing Chengye and the others looked at Jing Yan with eyes wide open in disbelief.

“Clan Leader, elders, I won’t hide it from you, although I have not yet advanced to the Dao Spirit Realm, I have slain Martial Artists of the Dao Spirit Realm at Dao Yi Academy.

So when I said earlier that it wouldn’t be easy for the Zhao Family to annihilate our Jing Family, I meant it,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

In the Council Hall at that moment, other than Jing Yan’s voice, there was no other sound.

Everyone was stunned.

They couldn’t imagine how Jing Yan could have grown so much in just a little over a year.

When Jing Yan first left Donglin City, he had slain Zhao Zhenyan, the son of Zhao Dangyuan, who was then at the Late Innate Realm.

However, the slaying process was far from smooth, and it was only after a tough fight that Jing Yan managed to successfully kill Zhao Zhenyan.

By normal estimation, a year and more had passed; even if Jing Yan had exceptional talent, at most he could compete with a Peak Innate Realm warrior, right?

But how did he come to slay a Martial Artist of the Dao Spirit Realm?

Just how had Jing Yan cultivated?

For several long breaths, the entire Council Hall was silent, including Jing Chengye, the Clan Leader.

If Jing Yan really had such strength, then they definitely would not want Jing Yan to leave.

“Clan Leader, Lin Clan Leader has arrived!”

At that moment, a guard’s voice came from outside.

“Lin Clan Leader?

Bring him in!” Jing Chengye said.

“Clan Leader, what’s the stance of the Lin Family now?” Jing Yan asked.

“The Lin Family has always been in an alliance with our Jing Family.

This time, not only does the Zhao Family want to annihilate our Jing Family, but they have also launched a comprehensive strike against the Lin Family, being even more aggressive against us nonetheless.

In any case, the Lin Family is also having a tough time,” Jing Chengye said with a shake of his head.

In a short while, Lin Clan Leader Lin Nanluo walked in from outside.

“Lin Clan Leader!” Jing Chengye greeted Lin Nanluo with a clasped hand salute.

“Jing Clan Patriarch!” Lin Nanluo’s face looked troubled, “Alas, I’ve tried to seek help everywhere, but to no effect.

Many of the descendants we sent out from Donglin City have been ambushed and killed by the Zhao Family and the Cai Family.”

Lin Nanluo entered with a heavy tone of grievance.

“Jing Clan Patriarch, this time, my Lin Family has been severely harmed by the Jing Family,” Lin Nanluo complained.

Jing Chengye understood what he meant.

From Lin Nanluo’s perspective, the Lin Family had been dragged into this mess by the Jing Family.

The Zhao Family’s primary target for annihilation was the Jing Family, but because the Lin Family had an alliance with the Jing Family, the Zhao Family also saw the Lin Family as a target for elimination.

Lin Nanluo was usually quite lively in character, but now, he obviously couldn’t muster that liveliness anymore.

His eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked like a frost-stricken eggplant, indicating the Lin Family was probably having a hard time.

“Jing Clan Patriarch, how are things on your side?

Any powerful reinforcements?

With the City Lord missing, if we can’t find Martial Artists of the Dao Spirit Realm to help us, our two families may truly be finished this time.

it’s difficult to even think of leaving Donglin City now; the entire city has been blockaded by the Zhao Family and the Cai Family,” Lin Nanluo said, shaking his head as if it were a rattle drum.

“Lin Clan Leader, please calm yourself,” Jing Chengye said, “Jing Yan has returned to the Jing Family; there might be hope.”

“Jing Yan?” Lin Nanluo then noticed Jing Yan in the crowd.

“Jing Yan, you’ve returned?

I heard you joined Dao Yi Academy, which promised a bright future.

Why have you come back at this time?” Lin Nanluo looked at Jing Yan somewhat surprised.

Clearly, he too thought Jing Yan should not have returned.

“Oh!

Jing Clan Patriarch, what do you mean by that?

You think just because Jing Yan is back, we have hope?

Don’t you know that there are two Dao Spirit Realm warriors over there?

I suspect there might be even more strong forces we’re unaware of.

How did the City Lord disappear?

I can’t believe there isn’t a stronger force involved,” Lin Nanluo said with a look of helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Jing Chengye and the others fell silent.

Lin Nanluo was right!

On the Zhao Family’s side, there were indeed only two known Dao Spirit Realm warriors publicly, one being Zhao Dangyuan and the other being Grandma San Ying.

But if it were only these two Dao Spirits, how could they make City Lord Huo Chunyang disappear?

There must be a bigger force involved, most likely the Wen Family from Lanqu County City.

Jing Yan also reflected on this!

He was clear on one thing: the power backing the Zhao Family was not necessarily just the Wen Family.

It was very likely that the Dark Night Assassin Organization was also involved.

Hiring Assassins from the Dark Night Assassin Organization was not new for the Zhao Family.

“Lin Clan Leader, it seems you don’t have much faith in me!” Jing Yan said with a smile.

“Jing Yan, it’s not that I don’t have faith in you; I just don’t have much confidence in your current state.

I’ve known for a long time that you would achieve great things in the future.

But the problem is: you’re out of time.

To be honest, I didn’t expect you to return.

Jing Clan Patriarch, did you inform Jing Yan to come back?” Lin Nanluo was still courteous with his words.

“It wasn’t the Clan Leader who informed me.

I heard the news and came back to take a look,” Jing Yan replied.

“Lin Clan Leader, our situation is already like this.

There’s no use talking about it further.

The Lin Family and Jing Family are now in the same boat.

We must unite to have any hope of overcoming this difficulty.

Once we annihilate all those scumbags from the Zhao Family and the Cai Family, then Donglin City will be completely under the rule of our Jing Family and Lin Family,” Jing Yan continued.
