The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 845: Chapter 845 Up and Down

Bai Xue was by nature rather aloof and cold, a stark contrast to Gao Feng.

She habitually kept her thoughts buried deep within her heart. Originally on the Heavenly Origin Continent, Bai Xue had never shown much emotion in front of Jing Yan. However, when she learned that Jing Yan had been ambushed by the Gai Family in the buffer zone of the Despair Abyss, she rushed into the Abyss without hesitation to find him.

Over the years, she received no news of Jing Yan and had even accepted the news of his death. Yet she didn’t return to the Heavenly Origin Continent. Instead, she delved deeper into the Despair Abyss, focusing intensely on improving her cultivation, all to avenge Jing Yan. She knew that if she returned to the Heavenly Origin Continent, she would never have the chance to avenge him.

It could be said that Bai Xue’s feelings for Jing Yan were no less profound than Gao Feng’s. Her yearning was never spoken of, but it was a genuine presence in her heart.

At that moment, when she saw a figure who suddenly walked out, one who completely overlapped with the image in her mind, and even spoke to her, her heart couldn’t believe it was true!

”You’ve suffered,” said Jing Yan, his voice tinged with bitterness.

”Who is that man?”

”I don’t know, I’ve never seen him before, completely unrecognizable. He’s probably not the core offspring of any major force.”

”He’s bold to just walk up like that. It seems like he’s also interested in Saintess Bai Xue. But competing with the Fang Family Young Master for a woman? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?”

”Perhaps it’s love that has made him indifferent to life and death! This time, taking advantage of the Fang Family Young Master coming to propose marriage, just to be able to see Saintess Bai Xue and exchange a few words with her might be enough to satisfy him.”

”...”

Jing Yan walked through the crowd towards the high platform and became the focal point of everyone’s attention. These people felt that Jing Yan’s actions must mean that he liked Saintess Bai Xue, so he recklessly approached her to speak a few words.

In their minds, no one could save Jing Yan now. Speaking with Saintess Bai Xue at this time, where would it leave the Fang Family Young Master’s dignity? Would the Fang Family Young Master let him off? With Fang Jie’s temperament, that was absolutely impossible.

Perhaps Fang Jie might outright kill him and even eat his brains.

”Jing Yan, is that you?” Bai Xue inhaled sharply, her rationality confirming that what she saw was not a hallucination. She too was a Martial Artist at the Daoist Emperor Realm, her Divine Soul was strong.

”It’s me!”

”I’m late; you’ve been wronged,” Jing Yan continued walking towards the high platform.

With Bai Xue speaking, those present understood that she indeed knew Jing Yan. What was the relationship between Bai Xue and Jing Yan?

Observing Bai Xue’s demeanor, there might be some hidden story. Could this man be Bai Xue’s childhood sweetheart? Otherwise, why would such an expression appear on her face, her tears uncontrollably sliding down her lovely cheeks?

”Young man, you are very bold to flirt with my woman right in front of me!” Fang Jie’s ugly face twisted with his sinister, mismatched eyes glaring menacingly at Jing Yan.

”Jing Yan, you must leave quickly!” Bai Xue suddenly awoke.

With Jing Yan appearing now, wasn’t it a dead end? Not to mention the Fang Family Young Master, even the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect would not let Jing Yan go!

In that extremely brief moment, Bai Xue couldn’t think further; she didn’t know how Jing Yan had come from the Heavenly Origin Continent. All she thought about was urging Jing Yan to quickly leave the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect.

”Bai Xue, do you want to leave with me?” Jing Yan smiled as he looked at Bai Xue.

Jing Yan’s attitude once again infuriated Fang Jie. In Fang Jie’s view, Jing Yan had completely disregarded his words. How could he tolerate it? Moreover, he was actually trying to take Saintess Bai Xue away right in front of him, blatantly disrespecting his status as the Fang Family Young Master!

He growled lowly, ready to take action.

However, he did consider the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect; being inside the sect, if he were to kill Jing Yan on the spot, it might embarrass the sect. To kill this man, he needed the sect’s consent, especially since he had just married the sect’s saintess.

Fang Jie sneered and looked towards the three Great Sect Masters of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect.

”Master, it’s this person, he previously bought Divine Light Grass and a damaged Defensive Divine Artifact at the Feiyu Building auction,” recognized the Sangqing Saintess.

At the auction, the Sangqing Saintess had investigated Jing Yan’s background, but had found no useful information. However, she had made a point of watching Jing Yan from a distance after the auction, committing his features to memory.

”Oh? Is it this person?” the Second Sect Master’s expression shifted slightly.

A person who could spend over twenty million Top-grade Spirit Stones at an auction was certainly no ordinary individual.

The Second Sect Master and the Great Sect Master conversed quietly.

The Great Sect Master temporarily suppressed the murderous intent in her heart. Jing Yan’s disruptive presence at such an event certainly did not sit well with her, and like the Fang Family Young Master, she also wanted to kill Jing Yan. But hearing the Second Sect Master’s words, she thought it best to first probe the other party’s background.

”Who are you, and why are you causing trouble in my Rainbow Gown Divine Sect?” the Sect Master asked Jing Yan, suppressing her killing intent with a deep voice.

”Great Sect Master, I am a friend of Saintess Bai Xue. You say I’m causing trouble, but I don’t see it that way. In my view, Saintess Bai Xue does not wish to marry Fang Jie, yet your Rainbow Gown Divine Sect seems to be forcing her. As a friend of Saintess Bai Xue, I think it’s necessary to step forward and prevent this from happening,” Jing Yan replied with a smile.

”Hmph, the marriage of Saintess Bai Xue to the Fang Family Young Master is a major affair for the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect. How could a single saintess decide such matters on her own?” a cold snort sounded.

Jing Yan turned to look at the speaker, who was none other than Long Xiang, the Sect Master of the Second Grade Force, Clear Spring Sect.

The Clear Spring Sect had a close relationship with the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect. Jiao Zhan had mentioned that the Clear Spring Sect Master and the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect’s Great Sect Master might be fellow disciples, having both been disciples of the same master.

”And who might you be?” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Long Xiang.

”You don’t know me? I am Long Xiang, the Sect Master of the Clear Spring Sect!” Long Xiang declared proudly.

”Clear Spring Sect? Had you not mentioned, I would have thought you were from the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect. A saintess’s marriage is the affair of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, and here you are, the Sect Master of Clear Spring Sect, making a fuss. Is that really appropriate?” Jing Yan scoffed.

”You...” Long Xiang’s face filled with rage.

He was the Sect Master of a Second Grade Force, and this young man named Jing Yan dared to disrespect him, his words even carrying a hint of disdain.
