The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1439 1439: They All Must Die

Under the Heavenly Venerate Relics, Jing Yanʼs comprehension of the Sword Intent Domain reached a terrifying level.

Jing Yan didnʼt even need to deliberately decipher it; the Sword Intent Domain could transform on its own. This also made Jing Yan understand that the Heavenly Venerate in the Ninth Floor of the Quenching God Star Tower was undoubtedly a master of the sword in life. Moreover, his weapon was an immensely powerful black greatsword.

Just as Jing Yan sat cross-legged under the greatsword, transforming the Sword Intent Domain, a semi-transparent phantom slowly rose from the black greatsword. This semi-transparent phantom looked at Jing Yan without making any sound. Additionally, there was no energy fluctuation coming from the phantom, leaving Jing Yan completely unaware.

In the Star Tower Square, within a building, the Shadow Emperor flipped his hand and took out his Communication Crystal Stone.

”Elder You Ying!” The voice of the Heaven Pavilion Master came from the Communication Crystal Stone.

The Shadow Emperorʼs body trembled slightly, quickly standing up, ”Pavilion Master, sir!”

”Elder You Ying, two years ago, you repeatedly contacted me. Was there something important you needed to report? Did that Jing Yan you mentioned agree to join the Wanbao Divine Hall?” The Heaven Pavilion Master asked in a deep voice.

Recently, the Heaven Pavilion Master had been entangled with an extremely important matter. He had just now noticed the communication from the Shadow Emperor. The Shadow Emperorʼs heart skipped a beat.

He had long regretted contacting the Pavilion Master in such a rush. Now that Jing Yan had died inside the Quenching God Star Tower, how was he supposed to tell the Pavilion Master?

However, he could only be honest about it.

”Pavilion Master... that Jing Yan is already dead. He entered the Quenching God Star Tower and never came out.” The Shadow Emperor transmitted with gritted teeth.

”What?” The Heaven Pavilion Masterʼs voice tightened.

”Whatʼs going on? You Ying, how did you handle this? The person is dead, and yet you contacted me multiple times?” The Heaven Pavilion Masterʼs voice bore an edge of anger.

”Pavilion Master, I... I never expected that Jing Yan would die in the Quenching God Star Tower. Many God Lords enter the Quenching God Star Tower, but deaths inside are very rare. Jing Yan seemed clever too, I really donʼt understand what happened. I repeatedly contacted the Pavilion Master at the time mainly because Feng Ruohan Pavilion Master had arrived at the Star Tower Square, seemingly wanting to bring Jing Yan into the Earth Pavilion.” The Shadow Emperor hurriedly explained.

”Hmph! Useless! Truly garbage!” The Heaven Pavilion Master snorted coldly.

Subsequently, he cut off the connection with the Shadow Emperor.

The Shadow Emperor looked at the Communication Crystal Stone in his hand and unconsciously broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.

”Damn it!” The veins on the Shadow Emperorʼs forehead throbbed as he gazed fiercely toward the Star Tower Restaurant.

”Swish!” His silhouette flashed, leaving the building.

Quickly, the Shadow Emperor stormed into the Star Tower Restaurant, his entire being enveloped in an intense murderous aura.

”Heh, you all seem very leisurely!” The Shadow Emperorʼs cold eyes locked onto Gao Feng and his companions.

The temperature in the lobby of the Star Tower Restaurant seemed to drop significantly with the arrival of the Shadow Emperor. Many Martial Artists inside the restaurant looked toward the Shadow Emperor in shock. However, they quickly realized that the target of the Shadow Emperorʼs ire was the four individuals who had come with Emperor Jing Yan.

”Lord You Ying, what is this?” Gou Zhunʼs face turned slightly pale as he hastily cupped his hands in salute.

”Cut the crap. You scoundrels killed members of the Wanbao Divine Hall and think you can leave unharmed? Ha, all four of you must die! All of you must die!” The Shadow Emperorʼs killing intent surged.

He had long wanted to cause trouble for Gao Feng and the others, but they were inside the Star Tower Restaurant. Although the Star Tower Restaurant was part of the Wanbao Divine Hallʼs assets, it was controlled by the Earth Pavilion. Therefore, he had temporarily held back. Today, however, after being reprimanded by the Heaven Pavilion Master, his pent-up aggression had been completely unleashed.

”This is...” Gou Zhun knew things were going badly.

This Shadow Emperor seemed intent on reneging.

Previously, the Shadow Emperor had seemingly reached a reconciliation with Emperor Jing Yan, but that was based on the assumption that Emperor Jing Yan would join the Wanbao Divine Hall. Now, the Shadow Emperor clearly believed Emperor Jing Yan had died inside the Quenching God Star Tower and apparently no longer intended to spare the four who had come with Jing Yan.

”Lord You Ying, hadnʼt this matter been previously resolved? Itʼs only a misunderstanding.” Gou Zhun forced himself to remain calm.

”Misunderstanding?”

”So naive. In this world, there are no such damned misunderstandings. That Jing Yan killed members of our Heaven Pavilion, and now heʼs dead inside the Quenching God Star Tower. However, you fools who were with him are still alive. I want all of you damned things to be buried for my Heaven Pavilion members.” The Shadow Emperor roared viciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Shadow Emperor raised his arm.

”Boom!” A massive wave of power surged, enveloping Gao Feng and the other three completely.

Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue were merely Void Gods, and Gou Zhun and Ning Luo were just ordinary God Lords. Against a God Master at an Emperor level like the Shadow Emperor, they stood no chance.

There were many Martial Artists in the hall, but at this moment, no one dared to speak up for Gao Feng and the others, let alone offer any help.

This was the territory of the Wanbao Divine Hall. Opposing the Shadow Emperor would undoubtedly lead to a bad end. Besides, their strength was not comparable to the Shadow Emperorʼs. Among these Martial Artists, the strongest was merely a Second-tier God Master.

Though some felt some sympathy towards Gao Feng and the others, they all chose to protect themselves.

”Elder You Ying, what are you doing?”

Just at this critical juncture, a voice resonated, and a wave of energy swept through, dissipating the power unleashed by the Shadow Emperor.

The Emperor Chang Ying, responsible for the Star Tower Restaurant, appeared not far in front of the four of them.

”Elder Chang Ying, are you intending to stop me?” The Shadow Emperorʼs eyes glinted darkly as he looked at Emperor Chang Ying.

”Hehe, Elder You Ying, your statement is something I, Chang Ying, cannot comprehend. The Star Tower Restaurant is under my administration. You come in seemingly intending to kill. Am I not allowed to inquire?” Emperor Chang Ying smiled humorlessly at the Shadow Emperor.

In reality, Emperor Chang Ying did not genuinely wish to help Gao Feng and his group. The issue was, he was the Building Owner of the Star Tower Restaurant. If someone was committing violence inside, he couldnʼt ignore it. Otherwise, outsiders might think he was afraid of the Shadow Emperor, even dared not show himself.

The Shadow Emperorʼs aura tightened.

”Hahahaha...” The Shadow Emperorʼs face twisted as he laughed grimly.
