The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 879: Chapter 879: Jing Yan’s Subordinate

Chu Dongxiong, relying on his grandfather being the clan elder with real power, and with Deputy Commander Chu Zhen supporting him wholeheartedly in the battle camp, had absolutely no intention of respecting Vice Commander Chu Lianxing.

In fact, his grandfather was very displeased with Chu Lianxing. Just because Chu Lianxing married and had children with someone from the Heavenly Origin Continent, his grandfather often used this matter to mock Chu Lianxing’s father, who is the patriarch of the Chu Family.

Jing Yan had been observing coldly all the while, watching Chu Dongxiong’s overbearing demeanor, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Originally, Jing Yan had no intention of getting involved in the struggle between the Chu Family and the Jade Book Sect over the new mine source, as he didn’t really want to help the Chu Family.

But seeing his mother so dedicated to family matters, Jing Yan, as a son, could not remain indifferent.

What angered him even more was that people like Chu Zhen and Chu Dongxiong were really going too far.

Jing Yan understood that if he wanted to take his mother away from the Chu Family, he couldn’t let the Chu Family fall into trouble and hardship. Otherwise, his mother definitely wouldn’t be at ease to leave.

”Enough!”

”I’ll just help my mother once!” Jing Yan sighed inwardly.

In the Council Hall, Jing Yan laughed suddenly, making all eyes turn towards him once again.

”Jing Yan, what are you laughing at?” Chu Xianlie frowned at him.

”Could it be, Jing Yan, that you really want to fight for the family?” Chu Zhen narrowed his eyes.

”Hehe, Jing Yan, since it’s our first time meeting and we don’t know each other well, how about this: to increase our mutual understanding, let’s have a sparring match. If you can defeat me, then you can fight for the family. The reward will also belong to you!” Chu Dongxiong said with a smile, his eyes twinkling.

Chu Dongxiong did not believe that Jing Yan could have the strength to rival him.

Jing Yan had always lived on the Heavenly Origin Continent; how strong could his cultivation be?

Although Chu Dongxiong had never been to the Heavenly Origin Continent, he knew that the resources in that human territory were extremely scarce, making it very difficult for martial artists to improve their realms. It was said that for humans to cultivate to the Dao Emperor Realm was extremely arduous.

And Jing Yan, just in his twenties, having lived in the human territory, how could he be in the Dao Emperor Realm?

His words were meant to humiliate Jing Yan. If Jing Yan accepted the challenge, he could personally teach him a lesson. If Jing Yan refused, he could claim that Jing Yan was cowardly and spineless, thereby making Chu Lianxing lose face as well.

Chu Dongxiong’s words made many in the room’s eyes light up slightly. They didn’t care if Chu Dongxiong was humiliating Jing Yan; it had nothing to do with them. Most of the others had a few complaints about Chu Lianxing’s son Jing Yan showing up suddenly, though they couldn’t say it outright.

”You want to spar with me?” Jing Yan smiled.

”What, are you afraid, Jing Yan? You are Vice Commander Chu Lianxing’s son, our Clan Leader’s grandson. Surely you have the courage? Don’t worry, out of respect for Vice Commander Chu Lianxing, I won’t be too hard on you. Sparring with me is just to promote our friendship.” Chu Dongxiong looked at Jing Yan and then at Chu Lianxing.

He was a bit curious as to why Chu Lianxing didn’t stop him from challenging Jing Yan.

With her status as Vice Commander, Chu Lianxing had every right to stop him.

”Chu Dongxiong, you, a newly ascended Dao Emperor Peak Martial Artist, want to fight me?”

”You are really not qualified!” Jing Yan’s tone was disdainful.

”Jing Yan, you are too arrogant! If you don’t dare to spar with me, just admit it; no one will say anything! Who would dare? Your mother is the Vice Commander! If anyone gossiped, wouldn’t your mother handle it?” Chu Dongxiong’s face darkened.

”Chu Dongxiong, you are indeed arrogant! You really aren’t worthy of fighting with me, but to satisfy your request, I’ll let my subordinate fight you. If you can defeat my subordinate, then I’ll concede.” Jing Yan said casually.

But it was precisely this casual attitude that stoked Chu Dongxiong’s anger even more.

Jing Yan’s contempt thoroughly angered him!

Jing Yan’s attitude seemed to come from his bones, not pretending. And because of this, Chu Dongxiong couldn’t control his fury.

”Your subordinate?”

”Fine! Where are they? Call them out!” Chu Dongxiong said, laughing out of anger.

Others present were also confused.

Especially the Commander and the Vice Commander. From the moment Jing Yan entered the Chu Family Camp, they had received the news. So they knew that Jing Yan seemed to have brought no one else with him. Along with Jing Yan, there was only Fang Ruoyu.

”Let’s go outside and talk.” Jing Yan stood and walked outside.

”Hmph!” Chu Dongxiong immediately followed.

All eyes in the Council Hall turned to Commander Chu Xianlie.

Chu Xianlie looked at Chu Lianxing, and seeing her unresponsive, he nodded slightly. ”Let’s go and see.”

Everyone, hearing this, stood up and filed out of the Council Hall.

”Lord Vice Commander, you’re not stopping them?” A female martial artist, walking beside Chu Lianxing, asked softly with a puzzled look.

She was Chu Qingyao, a senior Dao Emperor Realm Peak martial artist, and was set to represent the Chu Family in the battle.

”This small matter, Jing Yan can handle.” Chu Lianxing looked at Chu Qingyao with a smile.

”Oh?” Chu Qingyao frowned. She didn’t believe that Jing Yan could handle Chu Dongxiong.

In the Chu Family, Chu Dongxiong was a bully. Even she preferred not to get entangled with him. Although she was stronger than Chu Dongxiong, his background was too significant.

But since Chu Lianxing had said so, she couldn’t ask more.

Outside the Chu Family Camp’s Council Hall.

”Jing Yan, you don’t mean to have Fang Ruoyu spar with me, do you?” Chu Dongxiong asked as he saw only Fang Ruoyu outside, and no one else who seemed like Jing Yan’s subordinate.

Chu Dongxiong knew Fang Ruoyu too, and was aware of her martial arts cultivation.

”Jing Yan, you miscalculated! Even before I ascended to the Dao Emperor Peak, Fang Ruoyu was not my match. Now, she poses no threat to me.” Chu Dongxiong sneered.

Fang Ruoyu glared at Chu Dongxiong with angry eyes from the side.

”Chu Dongxiong, you are wrong! Sister Ruoyu, she is not my subordinate!” Jing Yan shook his head, glancing at Fang Ruoyu.

”You all come out!” Jing Yan said.

”Swish!”

Six figures flashed lightly, and six people appeared in front of Jing Yan. They were the six puppets, including Old Second.

Jing Yan had already communicated with the puppets through his Divine Thought, so they knew what was happening. Knowing Jing Yan’s intentions, Old Seven was the most enthusiastic, rubbing his fists, eager to fight Chu Dongxiong immediately.
