The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Returning to the Song Family Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Returning to the Song Family Flame was preparing to move out of Haofeng City and naturally intended to take whatever they could carry with them.

However, among the members of the Flame Adventure Team, only Team Leader Li Yong had a Sumeru Ring; to expedite their journey, large items had to be left behind.

Valuable resources were stored inside Li Yong’s Sumeru Ring, while other portable resources were carried by each member of the Flame team.

They planned to leave Haofeng City before nightfall.

Over the sky near Flame’s encampment in Haofeng City, Jing Yan approached swiftly.

When he saw the figures at the Flame’s encampment, he also breathed a sigh of relief; he spotted Li Yong, Gao Zhan, and others.

Since they were all alive, it meant that the Song Family had not attacked Flame, at least not with an outright lethal force.

While Li Yong and others were still immersed in their sadness, they suddenly noticed a figure descending from the sky.

Everyone tensed up, their breath quickened, taking a defensive stance.

However, when they realized that the person arriving was Jing Yan, everyone was stunned.

They all thought that Jing Yan had died.

His sudden appearance naturally shocked them.

“Jing…

Mr.

Jing Yan?” Li Yong stammered.

An exhilarating joy appeared on Gao Feng’s surprised face.

When Gao Feng had learned that Jing Yan had been chased by the Dark Night Assassin and had to leave Haofeng City, she had been in a daze.

Since then, she hadn’t been herself, as if her soul was lost, and Gao Zhan had been worried every day, afraid his only sister would never recover.

But now, seeing Jing Yan, Gao Feng returned to normal instantly.

“Jing Yan…” Gao Feng’s excitement made her forget everything else.

At that moment, her eyes only had Jing Yan in them.

She stepped forward and extended her arms to embrace Jing Yan, unable to hold back her tears of joy.

Gao Feng’s actions made Jing Yan somewhat embarrassed.

He could smell the faint scent on Gao Feng, but…

holding Gao Feng felt a bit inappropriate, as did pushing her away.

Others who saw this scene frowned slightly, some smiled, and some stared in disbelief.

“Cough…

cough…” After a while, Jing Yan cleared his throat.

Gao Feng then stepped back, her face blushing, and she looked embarrassed—a state never seen on her before.

“Team Leader Li Yong, leaders of the team!

The Dark Night Assassin came to Haofeng City to assassinate me, you all must know about it.

However, he failed, and I am very much alive.

It seems like you are planning on relocating?

If it’s because of the Song Family, you don’t have to leave; I will go to the Song Family Mansion soon to clarify things,” Jing Yan noted their surroundings and understood that the adventure group was planning to move, likely due to the Song Family.

Haofeng City was Flame’s stronghold; why would they leave easily without any extraordinary circumstances?

“My main purpose today was to bid you all farewell.

I might leave Haofeng City tonight,” Jing Yan continued.

“Mr.

Jing Yan, are you leaving Haofeng City?” Li Yong and the others looked at Jing Yan.

“Yes!

I have been here in Haofeng City for quite some time, it’s time to move on,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

Actually, Li Yong and the others knew that Jing Yan was never meant to stay long in Haofeng City, but hearing him say he’d leave that very night still made them somewhat reluctant to see him go.

Especially Gao Feng, who trembled slightly at hearing Jing Yan’s words.

There were things she wanted to say, but they were tough to vocalize.

She knew she might have developed special feelings for Jing Yan, but also felt she was not worthy of him.

Jing Yan, in terms of emotions, wasn’t oblivious; from Gao Feng’s recent actions and her current hesitant demeanor, he understood Gao Feng’s feelings toward him.

Truthfully, Jing Yan also quite liked Gao Feng.

However, at the moment, he had no intentions of marrying.

His grandfather’s great enemy was not yet avenged, and he himself was only twenty years old, among many other reasons.

Seeing Gao Feng’s expression, Jing Yan’s heart also ached.

“Gao Feng, you can go to Donglin City.

The Donglin City Lord is an elder of the Jing Family.

The Jing Family in Donglin City now has the capacity to control the city.

If your adventure team goes to Donglin City, there are many conveniences and Donglin City, being backed by the Black Stone Mountain Range, also offers great benefits for the development of an adventure group…” Jing Yan said thoughtfully.

Hearing Jing Yan’s words, Gao Feng’s eyes lit up.

If she went to Donglin City, she wouldn’t have to worry about not seeing Jing Yan again.

Jing Yan might not come back to Haofeng City, but he would definitely return to Donglin City; after all, his family was there.

“I’ll go to Donglin City!” As soon as Jing Yan finished speaking, Gao Feng blurted out eagerly, her anticipation evident even to an oblivious observer.

Li Yong, Gao Zhan, and others couldn’t help but roll their eyes; that was rather forward of her!

However, Gao Feng’s nature was straightforward, far bolder than many men.

Jing Yan smiled and continued, “Team Leader Li Yong, the Song Family will no longer pose a threat to Flame; you don’t need to leave Haofeng City because of them.

However, if you really want to move Flame to Donglin City, that is also possible.

Donglin City is currently a small city, but it won’t be long before I believe it will surpass cities like Haofeng City.

Perhaps in the future, it could even become one of the top cities in Lanqu County.”

“Yes!

Mr.

Jing Yan, I also think Donglin City is a good choice for settling down,” Li Yong said, somewhat excited.

He understood that Jing Yan spoke the truth!

Now, Donglin City was still the lowest level of small cities within Lanqu Commandery, but what about the future?

With Jing Yan there, it wasn’t impossible for Donglin City to develop into a city second only to the Commandery.

“Alright then, I must take my leave!

Everyone, we will meet again!” Jing Yan bowed to the group.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, he flew towards the Song Family Mansion.

Jing Yan didn’t ask Li Yong and the others about the pressure Flame had faced because it wasn’t necessary.

If Flame hadn’t been squeezed by the Song Family, why would they choose to relocate?

This time at the Song Family, a proper explanation was needed!

If the Song Family Patriarch truly was a treacherous person, then Jing Yan felt it was necessary to cripple the Song Family.

To prevent this family from ever rising to power again.
