The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2327: Chapter 2327: Bastard Dog [Third Update]

The roar of anger clearly reached the ears of the people inside the Great Hall.

Min Lan Immortal Venerable’s expression suddenly changed, a sharp chill flashing in his eyes. He, Min Lan, had never been openly insulted by name, so when he heard this curse, he momentarily froze.

Not only was Min Lan Immortal Venerable full of rage, but Xima Immortal Venerable was also extremely angry. Now, Min Lan Immortal Venerable was a guest in his residence, yet there was someone insulting Min Lan Immortal Venerable like this, which was also a slap to Xima Immortal Venerable’s face.

This was his territory; someone was slapping him in the face on his own turf, how could Xima Immortal Venerable not be annoyed?

”Which reckless fool is shouting outside?” Lord Xu Shun rolled his eyes angrily.

”Master!”

At this moment, the Chief Manager of Xima Immortal Mansion rushed in.

”Who is it?” Xima Immortal Venerable asked grimly.

”Master, it’s Jing Yan!” The Chief Manager bowed his head after glancing at the present people.

This Chief Manager knew Jing Yan. Over ten thousand years ago, Jing Yan was already quite famous in Faro Heaven, and many cultivators in the high levels of Faro Heaven knew him. This manager had seen Jing Yan’s Law projection before.

At this moment, Jing Yan was in the sky outside Xima Immortal Mansion. After seeing Jing Yan, the Chief Manager felt familiarity, quickly recalled, and then remembered.

”Jing Yan?”

”What?”

”Wasn’t this bastard supposed to be in Nightmare City? Has he returned!” Min Lan Immortal Venerable stood up, his eyes bulging as he cursed.

Xima Immortal Venerable’s expression changed again.

”Min Lan, get out here and face your death!” Jing Yan hovered in the air, holding the Ice Flame Sword, his gaze fixed on Xima Immortal Venerable’s residence.

If it weren’t for the Formation protecting the mansion, Jing Yan would have already stormed in.

Though this was Xima Immortal Mansion, Jing Yan did not intend to spare Xima Immortal Venerable any respect. Xima Immortal Venerable wasn’t a good person either; he was the Immortal Venerable under the banner of Wu Guo Heavenly Lord, yet close to Min Lan.

”It really is that damned bastard.” Min Lan gritted his teeth.

He had dealt with Jing Yan before; in Wuxia City, he even wanted to purchase the Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Technique from Jing Yan. Earlier, it didn’t come to his mind, but after the Chief Manager mentioned that it was Jing Yan outside, and after he heard Jing Yan’s voice cursing again, he confirmed it was indeed Jing Yan.

”Jing Yan is quite bold; to dare come and cause trouble in Huatong City, he must have a death wish.” Xima Immortal Venerable’s face turned grim.

He didn’t have a direct grudge with Jing Yan, and he also understood why Jing Yan sought out Min Lan Immortal Venerable. To be honest, he understood Jing Yan’s actions, but for Jing Yan to come to Huatong City and challenge at his residence, this was blatant disrespect towards Xima Immortal Venerable.

”Brother Xima, let me go out and see this bastard. I want to see what he’s up to.” Min Lan Immortal Venerable sneered disdainfully.

”Let’s go, we’ll go out together.” Xima Immortal Venerable nodded.

The two Immortals walked ahead, followed closely by Lord Xu Shun and the Chief Manager of the residence.

As they stepped out of the Great Hall, they saw Jing Yan in a black robe hovering in the sky opposite them. The guards of Xima Immortal Mansion had already surrounded Jing Yan.

”What’s happening?”

”Who is that? He... He dares to cause trouble at Xima Immortal Mansion?”

”It seems he’s here for Min Lan Immortal Venerable. Could he have a grudge with Min Lan Immortal Venerable? This person looks young; how could he hold a grudge against Min Lan Immortal Venerable? Even if he has one, coming here to seek revenge is suicidal, isn’t it?”

”He seems unfamiliar, probably not one of the strongmen of our Huatong City.”

Jing Yan had twice demanded Min Lan Immortal Venerable to come out, his voice roaring like thunder, and almost every cultivator in Huatong City could hear it. Those near Xima Immortal Mansion certainly saw Jing Yan immediately. Meanwhile, in the entire city, there was a significant migration of cultivators heading towards Xima Immortal Mansion.

Among these cultivators, those with a bit of awareness knew who Min Lan Immortal Venerable was. Those well-informed knew that Min Lan Immortal Venerable was a guest of Xima Immortal Venerable, and recently, Xima Immortal Venerable had been hosting Min Lan Immortal Venerable.

”That seems to be Jing Yan Heavenly Monarch,” someone exclaimed in disbelief, recognizing Jing Yan’s appearance.

”Jing Yan Heavenly Monarch?” More people were unaware of who Jing Yan was.

Jing Yan’s fame in Faro Heaven was mostly among cultivators at the Immortal Rhythm and Immortal Venerable Realms. Those with lower strength might know the names of every powerful Immortal Venerable in Faro Heaven but were less aware of the recently risen Immortal Rhythm Cultivator named Jing Yan.

”I know this person. It’s said he’s a very powerful Heavenly Monarch.”

”I’ve also heard some rumors. It’s said he once killed an Immortal Venerable Saint Hand from the Slaughter God Hall, though I don’t know if that’s true.”

”So why has he come to Huatong City? Does he have a grudge with Min Lan Immortal Venerable?”

”Regardless of the grudge, coming to Huatong City to seek revenge on Min Lan Immortal Venerable might lead to his death here.”

”...”

The tumultuous discussions spread like tidal waves, with more and more cultivators gathering at Xima Immortal Mansion.

Amidst this wide array of discussions, Xima Immortal Venerable, Min Lan Immortal Venerable, and Lord Xu Shun, among others, all exited Xima Immortal Mansion and came out.

A figure like Xima Immortal Venerable certainly wouldn’t hide behind the mansion’s Formation for protection just because Jing Yan had come seeking a grudge with Min Lan Immortal Venerable. He never considered relying on the defensive Formation. Although Jing Yan was quite strong, Xima Immortal Venerable didn’t believe Jing Yan posed much of a threat to him.

Moreover, he could mobilize the city’s Formation power at any time.

”Jing Yan, you little bastard, you sure returned quickly. Hehe, I thought you’d lay low in Nightmare City for a while.”

”Back or not, hiding quietly might have prolonged your life a few more days. But you came here on your own accord to seek death; truly foolish beyond belief.” Min Lan Immortal Venerable, hands clasped behind his back, coldly surveyed Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s eyes were filled with rage, the blade of the Ice Flame Sword flickering with Sword Light.

He glanced at the few people next to Min Lan Immortal Venerable, contemplating whether to kill them all.

”Lord Min Lan, is this the scoundrel called Jing Yan? Haha, it seems rumors are unreliable. Before seeing him, I thought he was someone extraordinary, but now that I’ve met him, I feel utterly disappointed. Such trash, how can he be worthy of becoming your enemy, Lord Min Lan?” Lord Xu Shun remarked, looking between Jing Yan and Min Lan Immortal Venerable.

To curry favor with Min Lan Immortal Venerable, his words severely belittled Jing Yan.

”And who the hell are you?” Jing Yan looked at Lord Xu Shun angrily.

This was Jing Yan’s first encounter with Xima Immortal Venerable, but upon seeing Xima himself, Jing Yan immediately recognized him as Xima Immortal Venerable. As for Lord Xu Shun, who exuded the aura of the Immortal Charm Realm, Jing Yan didn’t know who he was.
