The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 674: Chapter 674 Husband [Third Update]

As soon as Hu Donghe spoke, everyone’s eyes in the room turned to Jing Yan.

A cold glint flickered in Jing Yan’s eyes, then the corners of his mouth lightly twitched.

”There can only be one between the Gai family and me,” Jing Yan said.

”The Gai family has been a prestigious family for thousands of years with extremely deep roots. Jing Yan, although you have stepped into the Dao Emperor Realm and possess incredible combat power, you alone may still find it difficult to confront the entire Gai family,” Hu Donghe said slowly.

”Yes, I’m aware of that. Therefore, I will go to Holy City soon to meet the Holy Master,” Jing Yan nodded.

”Right, if you can get the full support of the Holy Master, dealing with the Gai family would be much easier. The power held by the Holy Master is the strongest on the continent. The Gai family can’t fully compare to the Holy Master,” Hu Donghe’s eyes lit up. ”Jing Yan, let’s go to Holy City together! It has been a long time since I last visited, and this time it’s a good opportunity to meet the Holy Master.”

Jing Yan gave Hu Donghe a grateful look.

He understood Hu Donghe’s intention; his connections are influential in Holy City. If Hu Donghe only wished to see the Holy Master, he could have gone at any time.

That Hu Donghe was accompanying him meant that he was willing to support and stand up for him. Jing Yan, of course, understood this.

”Jing Yan, when will you leave?” Jing Tianying asked.

”In the next few days! I’ll first go with the Prince to Lanqu County City and set up some arrays, then head to Holy City,” Jing Yan responded.

The arrays he planned to set up in Lanqu County City were advanced ones covering two mansions, easy to set up and not time-consuming.

”Fourth Elder, inform Clan Leader Jing Chengye to gather the upper echelon of the Jing family tomorrow morning. I have some surplus resources that I will hand over for your use,” Jing Yan continued.

The resources that Jing Yan had accumulated were astronomically large, superfluous for him but transformative for the family.

”Alright, I will notify the Clan Leader and the others later,” Jing Tianying responded without pretense.

After further discussion, everyone dispersed.

The next day, the senior members of the Jing family gathered inside the City Lord Mansion. Jing Yan had already distributed the resources the previous night, packing them into hundreds of Sumeru Rings.

In a vast room within the City Lord Mansion, Jing Yan distributed these resources.

A vast number of Elixirs and Spirit Stones, along with numerous Soul Crystals, excited the Jing family’s upper hierarchy.

Although the Jing family had vastly changed from before, such abundant resources still thrilled everyone. With these resources, the Jing family could quickly birth more Dao Spirit Realm and even Daoist Master Realm Martial Artists.

Jing Yan also set aside a portion of resources for Jing Tianying.

Being a martial artist at the peak of the Dao Spirit Realm, with Jing Yan’s provided Elixirs and Soul Crystals, advancing to the Daoist Master Realm soon was very feasible.

Besides, Jing Yan left tens of thousands of Top-grade Spirit Stones for Jing Tianying for big formations’ resource consumption, not for regular use. With these Top-grade Spirit Stones, Donglin City could withstand a long siege without breach.

As long as energy sustained the big array, breaking through forcefully would require grouping over ten Dao Emperor Realm experts, including several at the Dao Emperor Realm Peak.

After distributing the resources, everyone dispersed.

In the evening, Jing Yan was meditating in his room, studying Divine Thought.

A knock came.

Jing Yan opened his eyes, a trace of confusion showing.

”Brother Jing Yan, are you cultivating?” Gao Feng’s voice came through.

”No,” Jing Yan got up, moved to the door, and upon opening it, indeed saw the charming Gao Feng standing outside.

Jing Yan invited Gao Feng into the room, and she shut the door behind her.

”Brother Jing Yan, are you leaving Donglin City?” Gao Feng’s beautiful eyes looked at Jing Yan.

”Yes, I plan to head to the Commandery first tomorrow, then to Holy City to meet the Holy Master,” Jing Yan revealed a bitter smile, somewhat reluctantly.

But he had to leave. As long as the Gai family existed, he couldn’t rest easy. He himself might not care about the Dao Emperor Realm warriors of the Gai family, but what about the people around him? How could they withstand the Gai family’s experts?

Moreover, there was a high possibility that his father was still in the hands of the Gai family; Jing Yan must rescue his father, Jing Lunnan.

”Brother Jing Yan, tonight, can I stay?” Gao Feng did not express any longing; instead, she bit her lip and gathered the courage to ask.

As her words fell, her red gown slid off.

Jing Yan was also slightly dazed.

Jing Yan was a man, and facing a woman like Gao Feng, how could he not be moved? Moreover, he had already harbored care and affection for Gao Feng deep in his heart.

He couldn’t refuse!

The night gradually deepened.

When dawn arrived, Gao Feng opened her eyes, face flushed with shy embarrassment, and saw Jing Yan who had already gotten up. She quickly sat up, pulling her gown over her body.

”Are you awake?” Jing Yan also felt somewhat embarrassed.

”Yes,” her voice barely audible.

Even for a woman like Gao Feng, such moments were uncontrollably shy. However, overshadowing the shyness was sweetness.

”In a while, I have to leave Donglin City. This Sumeru Ring, I’m leaving for you; it contains the cultivation resources you need,” Jing Yan took out a Sumeru Ring and handed it to her.

The resources in the ring were prepared by Jing Yan for Gao Feng. Even if Gao Feng had not come last night, Jing Yan would have sought her out today to deliver the resources.

”Thank you, my husband,” Gao Feng changed her form of address, accepting the Sumeru Ring without inspecting its contents and directly wore it on her slender, root-like fingers.

Gao Feng seemed even more beautiful, her skin more radiant and smooth than before.

Hearing Gao Feng’s address, Jing Yan’s breath paused slightly.

”Do not leave Donglin City until the Gai family is destroyed,” Jing Yan paused, then advised.

”I understand,” Gao Feng nodded obediently, stood up, rushed into Jing Yan’s arms, and gently kissed his cheek.

”Take care, my husband,” Gao Feng’s eyes were full of concern and reluctance.

”I will!”

”Initially, I survived even with just Daoist cultivation; the Gai family couldn’t kill me then. Now, they surely cannot,” Jing Yan smiled.

”Yes!” Gao Feng nodded vigorously.

...

”Prince, Brother Dong He, shall we depart?” Jing Yan spoke to Hu Donghe and the others near the City Lord Mansion square.

”Okay, let’s go now.”

”It will take several days to fly to Lanqu County City.”

”Hey? I feel like Gao Feng seems a bit different. What do you think?” Zhou Shangyun looked at Gao Feng and furrowed his brows.
