The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2242: Chapter 2242: Standing Up

Jing Yan had heard of the famous Pu Bai Immortal Venerable.

Pu Bai Immortal Venerable had great renown in Faro Heaven, much like Yuantong Immortal Venerable, he governed a vast territory of his own, but he was even more senior than Yuantong Immortal Venerable. His strength and cultivation were also above Yuantong Immortal Venerable.

As for Mans, Jing Yan had never heard of him.

However, from the change in atmosphere in the venue, Jing Yan could tell that most of the people present knew Immortal Venerable E Si. The change in atmosphere started when Yuantong Immortal Venerable mentioned E Si’s name. In other words, most people might not have seen E Si in person, but they knew his name.

“Heh, Yuantong Immortal Venerable and I, E Si, have only met once, and it was a long time ago. I didn’t expect him to remember me, I am truly honored,” the tall slender man in the black robe said with a laugh.

His voice was rather sharp, quite distinctive.

“Please have a seat, both of you,” Wuxia Immortal Venerable spoke.

Wuxia’s expression was slightly odd, and Jing Yan felt that Wuxia Immortal Venerable seemed to know this Immortal Venerable called E Si.

Pu Bai Immortal Venerable and E Si Immortal Venerable moved toward Wuxia Immortal Venerable.

The seats near Wuxia were already full.

“Sorry, could you two move aside, please?” E Si said to the two people standing there, his tone stiff.

The two people’s faces flushed red, but after looking at Pu Bai Immortal Venerable and then at E Si, they ultimately didn’t react angrily, though they left with sour expressions, actually giving up their seats.

One must know, those able to sit near Wuxia Immortal Venerable were certainly special. The seating order had significance, like Yuantong Immortal Venerable who sat beside Wuxia Immortal Venerable. Those two were sitting quite close on Wuxia’s right-hand side. Even with their extraordinary status, they endured such humiliation in the face of E Si and Pu Bai.

“So domineering,” Jing Yan thought to himself.

None of those present said anything about E Si driving the two cultivators out of their seats. Even Yuantong Immortal Venerable merely frowned without speaking.

“Something strange is going on,” Jing Yan pondered.

“Come on, everyone sit! Why are you standing? Don’t tell me you’re not welcoming me and Brother E Si?” Pu Bai Immortal Venerable said as he took his seat and then looked around.

Wuxia Immortal Venerable, Yuantong Immortal Venerable sat down again, and the others also gradually sat down, including Jing Yan.

But E Si did not sit down, he took a few more steps closer to Wuxia, holding a wine cup and a wine vessel in his hands.

“Wuxia, I heard you have entered the Immortal Venerable realm, I’m happy for you,” E Si said, “Come, let me toast to you.”

Wuxia Immortal Venerable took the wine cup and drank it in one go.

Though Wuxia did not say anything, Jing Yan noticed that Wuxia seemed unwilling to drink with this E Si. By now, Jing Yan realized that Wuxia Immortal Venerable knew this E Si, and there might be some kind of relationship between them.

“Wuxia, you broke through the realm shackles, became an Immortal Venerable, and held a banquet to celebrate but didn’t invite me, I am very upset. You know I have a bad temper, and I tend to do terrible things when I’m angry. If you don’t want me to get angry, you’ll need to drink three penalty cups,” E Si said calmly, his gaze on Wuxia.

The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly tense, even those cultivators who were usually good at lightening the mood were silent, seemingly unwilling to get involved in matters between Wuxia and E Si.

Wuxia paused, indeed drinking three penalty cups.

“Heh, I quite like this about you, Wuxia. My visit today is two-fold: to congratulate you on entering the Immortal Venerable realm, and secondly, I want you to become my first Daoist couple,” E Si continued.

First Daoist couple?

Upon hearing this, Jing Yan’s expression changed slightly.

“Daoist, who is this E Si?” Jing Yan asked in a very low voice to an Immortal Rhythm Cultivator beside him.

The Immortal Rhythm Cultivator looked at Jing Yan, then carefully responded in a low voice, “Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, you don’t know E Si Immortal Venerable?”

“No, I’ve never heard of him before,” Jing Yan nodded.

“Tsk tsk…” the person shook their head.

Then continued, “This E Si is one of the Twelve Saints of the Slaughter God Hall.”

Jing Yan’s breath tensed slightly.

He knew about Slaughter God Hall, it was the most fearsome force in Faro Heaven. It is said that Slaughter God Hall was also a force established by an Immortal Emperor who excelled in shadow Dao Skills, primarily focusing on death and destruction.

Though it’s been countless billions of years since that Immortal Emperor last appeared, Slaughter God Hall remains the most terrifying force in Faro Heaven. Its infamous reputation extends across the Nine Days of Immortal Domain.

And the Twelve Saints of Slaughter God Hall, all are in the Immortal Venerable realm, and not ordinary Immortal Venerables either. Slaughter God Hall is somewhat similar to Shadow Tower, but Shadow Tower can’t compare to Slaughter God Hall. The founder of Shadow Tower was an Immortal Venerable as well, but the entire Shadow Tower has only one Immortal Venerable.

“I heard that a long time ago, E Si Immortal Venerable sought out Wuxia Immortal Venerable. Of course, back then Wuxia Immortal Venerable was still Wuxia Heavenly Monarch. E Si Immortal Venerable wanted Wuxia to become his Daoist companion. But… I heard E Si Immortal Venerable has quite a few Daoist companions. If Wuxia agreed back then, one would wonder how she would rank among his companions,” the Immortal Rhythm Cultivator added.

“Wuxia Immortal Venerable is so proud and high-spirited. Even facing E Si Immortal Venerable, she directly refused him. This angered E Si Immortal Venerable, who roughly prepared to forcibly take Wuxia Immortal Venerable away, but it was Yuantong Immortal Venerable who intervened and asked the Heavenly Lord to intercede, leading E Si to give up,” the Immortal Rhythm Cultivator said with some sighs.

By this point, a subtle coldness had appeared in Jing Yan’s eyes.

Last time, Wuxia refused E Si’s advances, yet this time E Si came again. But there was some difference; this time he wanted Wuxia to be his first Daoist couple.

No wonder the atmosphere in the hall has been peculiar since E Si arrived. It seems many present knew about E Si’s past interest in making Wuxia his Daoist companion.

“Thank you for the high regard, E Si Immortal Venerable, but I still don’t want to find a Daoist companion,” Wuxia Immortal Venerable spoke, politely declining.

This was the first sentence she spoke to E Si since his arrival.

E Si Immortal Venerable’s face darkened, his eyes emitting cold light, with a slight smirk on his lips.

“Wuxia, you’d best reconsider,” E Si said with a low yet sharp voice.

“Wuxia Immortal Venerable, Brother E Si is very sincere, you still haven’t found a Daoist companion. Why not agree to Brother E Si?” Pu Bai Immortal Venerable smiled and looked at Wuxia Immortal Venerable.

“I really don’t want to find a Daoist companion right now. E Si Immortal Venerable, I offer a toast to express my apologies,” Wuxia raised her wine cup again.

“Ha… Ha ha…” E Si let out an eerie laugh.

“Wuxia, you’ve drank a lot, you shouldn’t drink anymore,” a voice emerged in the hall.

Jing Yan stood up!
