The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Good Death!

Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Good Death!

Patriarch Liu and the others almost passed out from shock when they heard these words!

The Song Family Patriarch, a peak strong person of the Dao Spirit Realm, couldn’t even block one move from Jing Yan?

Does that not mean that Jing Yan possesses the combat power of the Daoist Master Realm?

Twenty years old, Daoist Master Realm?

Is this meant to scare people to death?

But it seemed to be a fact!

How many Daoist Masters were there in the entire region of Lanqu County City?

Everyone looked at each other, unable to utter a word for a long time!

At the same time, a deep sense of regret also spread in their hearts.

They knew that their Liu Family had missed a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

They thought Jing Yan had died at the hands of the Dark Night Assasin, so they had brushed off the Zhang Family’s call for help, resulting in the Zhang Family breaking away from their clan!

If the Liu Family had stood up for the Zhang Family when the Song Family was pushing them hard in business, their situation would be completely different now.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

While the people of the Liu Family were deeply regretting in shock, the Hu Family fared slightly better.

Since the Zhang Family had little to do with the Hu Family, the news that the Song Family was leaning on the Zhang Family nevertheless made the faces of the Hu Family members quite a picture.

Haofeng City, was undergoing a change of fortunes!

The entire city was shaking.

Every large and small clan was at a loss for words to describe the Zhang Family’s luck.

By securing a strong Daoist Master, the Zhang Family was bound to rise meteorically.

…

“Whoosh!”

Jing Yan’s figure swiftly flew through the clouds, rushing towards Lanqu County City.

Mu Liantian and the others probably thought he was already dead, so Jing Yan needed to return to Lanqu County City quickly.

While Jing Yan was hurrying back, Mu Liantian had already returned to Lanqu County City from Haofeng City.

After entering the city, he went straight to Dao Yi Academy, one of the Three Major Academies, and climbed Dao Yi Mountain to meet the academy’s Dean Wen Guang.

Inside the Dao Yi Hall of Dao Yi Academy!

Dean Wen Guang took Mu Liantian’s visit very seriously.

As a Chief Manager of the Prince Manor, Mu Liantian could be considered second only to the Commandery Prince himself, which meant his status was hardly inferior to that of Dean Wen Guang at Dao Yi Academy.

Therefore, when Dean Wen Guang heard of Mu Liantian’s arrival, he immediately came out from the inner hall to greet him.

The two greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries.

“Dean Wen Guang, has Jing Yan returned to Dao Yi Academy?” Mu Liantian asked directly after the pleasantries.

At this point, he still held a glimmer of hope.

In Haofeng City, Jing Yan was pursued by the Dark Night Ace, Mr.

Yin, and fled.

Although Mr.

Yin’s strength was formidable, since he had not killed Jing Yan in Haofeng City, there was no way to be sure that Jing Yan was indeed dead.

Perhaps, Jing Yan was still alive!

Mu Liantian prayed in his heart that Jing Yan had returned to Dao Yi Academy.

If Jing Yan could escape Mr.

Yin’s pursuit, he would probably have immediately returned to Dao Yi Academy in Lanqu County City.

Within Dao Yi Academy, Mr.

Yin, no matter how strong, would not be able to continue pursuing Jing Yan.

Hearing Mu Liantian’s question, Dean Wen Guang’s brows knitted slightly.

He was aware of the assassination attempt on Jing Yan in Haofeng City.

Although he didn’t have a direct impression of Jing Yan, and couldn’t claim to have a strong liking towards him, Jing Yan was still an outstanding student of the Inner Court at Dao Yi Academy, a Martial Arts Genius who had advanced to the Dao Spirit Realm at the age of twenty.

How could it be possible that he, as the Dean, would not pay any attention to Jing Yan?

So when the message about the Dark Night’s assassination of Jing Yan began to circulate within the limited scope of Lanqu County City, he immediately received the news and had been monitoring the situation closely.

However, up to this point, there had been no news of Jing Yan’s return.

“Chief Mu!” Dean Wen Guang paused and said, “I’ve also been following this matter, but I haven’t heard any news about Jing Yan returning to Dao Yi Academy.

Let me summon Peak Master Zhao Qi of the North Peak; he might have more clarity.”

Mu Liantian frowned deeply and nodded, “Good!”

Dean Wen Guang instructed Bing Ruo to invite Peak Master Zhao Qi over.

Soon enough, the North Peak Master entered the Great Hall from outside.

“Dean!

Chief Mu!” Zhao Qi greeted both with a salute and a slight bow.

“Peak Master Zhao Qi, has Jing Yan returned to North Peak?” Dean Wen Guang immediately asked.

Speaking of which, Dean Wen Guang was slightly uncomfortable when mentioning Jing Yan.

Why?

Because of the long-absent Vice Chancellor, Fang Ruoyu!

When Fang Ruoyu arrived at Dao Yi Academy, they immediately demanded the position of Vice Chancellor, and due to Fang Ruoyu’s terrifying strength, which was hard to withstand, Dean Wen Guang had to acquiesce to Fang Ruoyu’s demand.

Later, Fang Ruoyu showed a very special attitude towards Jing Yan, which made Dean Wen Guang somewhat uncomfortable with Jing Yan.

Of course, this unease was very mild.

“Jing Yan has not yet returned!” Zhao Qi’s eyes flickered with a hint of anger.

Zhao Qi was also aware of the Dark Night’s assassination of Jing Yan in Haofeng City, so the memory stirred a lot of anger within him.

During this period, he had visited Zhang Min Peak multiple times a day to check if Jing Yan had returned.

Just before the Dean summoned him, he had just come down from Zhang Min Peak.

Jing Yan still had not returned, not to Dao Yi Academy.

“Alas…” Dean Wen Guang sighed softly.

He looked at Mu Liantian, not saying much, but his demeanor clearly suggested what he meant.

Jing Yan, likely would never return!

“If that’s the case, Dean Wen Guang, then I will take my leave!” Mu Liantian stood up, his expression somber as he bade farewell with a salute.

Mu Liantian looked very uncomfortable!

Although he had been prepared in his heart, now that last glimmer of hope seemed to be extinguished!

“Damn Dark Night!

Damn it!” Mu Liantian roared inwardly.

Dean Wen Guang stood up to see Mu Liantian out of Dao Yi Hall.

Watching Mu Liantian depart, Dean Wen Guang also sighed deeply.

“A twenty-year-old Dao Spirit!”

“What a pity!”

“Otherwise, in the future, becoming a Daoist Master would not have been too great a problem.

As for the Dark Night…sigh, the Commandery doesn’t have any good solutions for the Dark Night, does it?” Dean Wen Guang muttered to himself.

Standing beside Dean Wen Guang, Peak Master Zhao Qi also felt a surge of anger in his heart.

“Dean, those who hired the Dark Night must be the Wen Family.

Jing Yan has deep hatred with the Wen Family, and they are the ones who most want Jing Yan dead,” Zhao Qi said in a low voice.

“What good is that?

There will be no proof!

They won’t leave any evidence!

Even the Prince Manor can’t take action against the Wen Family without evidence.

We of Dao Yi Academy also have no means to avenge Jing Yan,” Dean Wen Guang shook his head, speaking helplessly.

Meanwhile, in another palace, two elders looked on with downcast eyes, yet their mouths bore slight smiles.

These two were none other than the South Peak Master Hu Yang and Punishment Hall Master Ying Youque.

“He’s dead, right?” Ying Youque asked with narrowed eyes.

“Death suits him!” Hu Yang chuckled.
