The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Over a Hundred Innate Members of the Jing Family [Four Updates]

Jing Qingzhu was initially shocked when she heard that Jing Yan had started a war with the Wen Family.

She had spent a considerable amount of time in Lanqu County City and was very familiar with the Wen Family. Jing Yan had actually started a war with the Wen Family, this colossal entity?

Jing Qingzhu was unaware of Jing Yan’s current level of Cultivation.

She later heard that it was the Prince himself who had arrived at the Wen Family’s doorstep, which somewhat eased her worries. However, soon after, more news reached her, suggesting that the Wen family possessed a treasure crafted by the Holy Master, preventing the Prince from taking action, and her heart leaped into her throat again.

Finally, when she arrived near the Wen Family Mansion, she saw that the surrounding area was a scene of total devastation, with countless dead and injured, and bodies littering the ground. From the discussions around her, it seemed Jing Yan had not died.

Nervously, she searched for Jing Yan among the crowd.

”Eighth Elder!” Jing Yan spotted Jing Qingzhu first and called out with a smile.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s voice, Jing Qingzhu followed it and saw him. At that moment, her heart was jolted once more. Although she had only seen Prince Zhou Shangyun once or twice, she recognized him.

Jing Yan was actually standing right beside the Prince.

”Eighth Elder, come over here to talk,” Jing Yan beckoned Jing Qingzhu.

With a heart full of trepidation, Jing Qingzhu quickly walked over and bowed respectfully to the Prince and others.

”No need for such formalities, Jing Family member,” Zhou Shangyun waved his hand and smiled at Jing Qingzhu.

Jing Qingzhu was indescribably thrilled inside. She was actually standing before the Prince and had the opportunity to speak with him. In the past, she wouldn’t have dared to even imagine such a scenario.

Jing Qingzhu’s face flushed red, she wanted to ask Jing Yan what had happened, but she was also a bit apprehensive.

”Eighth Elder, I am Mu Liantian, Chief Manager of the Prince Manor,” Mu Liantian greeted Jing Qingzhu with a smile.

”I am Lin Qing, President of the Extreme Combat Association!”

”I am Wen Guang, Dean of Dao Yi Academy!” Wen Guang also smiled.

”Haha, I am Zhao Qi, North Peak Master of the Inner Court of Dao Yi Academy. Jing Yan is also a student of my North Peak,” Zhao Qi laughed heartily.

”...”

A group of such notable individuals greeted Jing Qingzhu, leaving her stunned and her mind blank, unsure of how to respond.

These were all influential figures renowned throughout Lanqu County!

Of course, those who did not get along with Jing Yan didn’t bother to greet Jing Qingzhu. They sensed Jing Qingzhu’s strength and found her to be merely at the Late Innate stage, which made them even less interested. To them, Martial Artists of the Innate realm were essentially nothing.

After a moment’s pause.

”Eighth Elder, how many members of the Jing Family are currently at the Innate realm?” Jing Yan asked Jing Qingzhu.

The takeover of the Wen Family’s assets could not be delayed, so this matter had to be addressed immediately. It was vital to have a large number of family members come to Lanqu County City as soon as possible.

When Jing Qingzhu heard Jing Yan’s question, she hadn’t yet responded when the Lu Family Patriarch and others scoffed. How many Innate Martial Artists could a small city family like that in Donglin City have? They thought Jing Yan had quite the audacity to inquire about this in their presence.

”Jing Yan! To manage the vast assets of the Wen Family, you’ll probably need at least fifty Innate Martial Artists accompanied by many Postnatal Martial Artists, right?”

”Yes, indeed! Jing Yan, your family might manage a part of the Wen Family’s assets. But most of it will likely have to be sold off.”

Several family heads spoke with a mocking tone, clearly implying that Jing Yan’s family was inferior.

Jing Qingzhu didn’t know why Jing Yan was asking, but she still replied, ”According to the latest information from half a month ago, there are a total of one hundred and six members at the Innate realm within the family.”

Hearing this number, Jing Yan was also startled!

He knew that there should be quite a few members of the Jing Family within Donglin City who had reached the Innate Realm. However, he hadn’t expected that the number would actually exceed one hundred.

You should know, even a Great Family like the Wen Family would only have around four hundred Innate Martial Artists. And yet, his own Jing Family actually had over a hundred Innates.

That truly was astonishing.

Of course, the reason why the Jing Family could have so many Innate Martial Artists primarily stemmed from the Holy Spirit Potion. Without it, even if the Jing Family controlled Donglin City, to have three or two more Innates in such a short period would have been quite impressive.

The Lu Family Patriarch and the others all caught their breath, their eyes filled with shock.

How could this be possible?

A family from a small city like Donglin City actually had over a hundred Innates?

Wasn’t this just a fantasy?

Forget Donglin City, even among those first-rate families in powerful cities within Lanqu County, they probably only have a hundred or two hundred Innates, right?

Immediately, they felt a burning sensation on their faces. The words they had just spoken were tantamount to slapping their own faces!

Even Zhou Shangyun opened his mouth in surprise!

He hadn’t expected the Jing Family to be so formidable.

”Right, Jing Yan, City Lord Jing Tianying has already advanced to the Dao Spirit Realm!” Jing Qingzhu added.

”Oh? The Fourth Elder stepped into the Dao Spirit Realm?” Jing Yan’s eyes lit up.

When he had last left Donglin City, within the Jing Family, Clan Leader Jing Chengye and the Fourth Elder Jing Tianying were both Martial Artists at the Peak of the Innate Realm.

Although there was only one realm between the Peak of Innate and the Dao Spirit Realm, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

He had not expected that, after parting the last time, the Fourth Elder Jing Tianying had already advanced to the Dao Spirit Realm.

This was certainly something to celebrate.

”Yes! Soon after becoming the City Lord of Donglin City, the Fourth Elder made a breakthrough and stepped into the Dao Spirit Realm,” Jing Qingzhu said with a hint of emotion.

”Good, that’s good news!” Jing Yan nodded.

”Eighth Elder, there is a message that you must convey back to the family. Inform the Clan Leader to bring people to take over the Wen Family’s assets in Lanqu County City. Our Jing Family now has one hundred and six Innate Martial Artists, among them, leave twenty in Donglin City. The rest, all come to Lanqu County City,” Jing Yan pondered for a moment before speaking to Jing Qingzhu.

”Take over the Wen Family’s assets?” Jing Qingzhu’s beautiful eyes widened.

Although Jing Qingzhu was not young, her appearance could definitely be considered beautiful, with a mature and charming aura. At this moment, with her eyes wide open, she was radiating charm.

”Yes! The Wen Family has been annihilated, and their assets are now under my control,” Jing Yan said with a smile and a nod.

”Then I will inform the Clan Leader immediately,” Jing Qingzhu’s heart pounded furiously; she didn’t know what had happened, but for now, just knowing the outcome was enough.

If the Jing Family were to take over the Wen Family’s assets, heavens...

The mere thought was enough to boil one’s blood with excitement!

Jing Qingzhu said her goodbyes to Jing Yan, then also to Zhou Shangyun and the others before she hastily left.

”Jing Yan, the Prince Manor will help account for all the Wen Family’s properties and temporarily manage these assets. When your family members arrive, they will all be transferred to your family,” Zhou Shangyun said to Jing Yan.

Just a while ago, he had been worried that the Jing Family would not have the capability to manage the Wen Family’s assets. But now that he knew the Jing Family had so many Innate Martial Artists, this was no longer a concern. Although the Jing Family’s strength was still somewhat limited, with Jing Yan present and with the support of the Prince Manor, this was completely enough for the Jing Family to gain a foothold in Lanqu County City.

”Thank you very much, Prince!” Jing Yan bowed in thanks.
