The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2343: Chapter 2343: Entering the Slaughter God Hall Region

After hearing what Elder Ming Hua said, Elder Kuo Lian and the others all felt their hearts sink.

If it were only the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect threatening them, then the Mystic Moon Trading House might still have had the ability to compete with them. But now, even Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable had publicly spoken out. Though the Mystic Moon Trading House was indeed quite powerful, it was impossible for them to block both the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect and Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable at the same time. Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable might not have established any force of his own, but if he were to mobilize his connections, the power he could bring to bear would truly be terrifying.

Especially... Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable also controlled Fire Cloud Crystal Stones that had great effect on the cultivation of Immortal Venerable Cultivators!

For a long while, none of the Elders spoke. Everyone understood that if the Mystic Moon Trading House insisted on acting willfully this time, then there was a great possibility that the Mystic Moon Trading House would be destroyed here and now, and it was hard to say how many of them, Immortal Venerable Realm Cultivators as they were, could survive.

”Hmm?”

At this moment, Elder Kuo Lian’s brows moved slightly as he also took out his own Communication Magical Treasure.

It was a message from Jing Yan.

Seeing that it was Jing Yan’s message, a bitter smile appeared on Elder Kuo Lian’s face. Previously, they had already publicly released news that they would fully support Jing Yan in taking action against the Slaughter God Hall; now, how was he supposed to tell Jing Yan that the Mystic Moon Trading House could not support him?

”It’s Fellow Daoist Jing Yan.” Elder Kuo Lian said to the people present, then amplified the sound from within the Communication Magical Treasure.

”Daoist Kuo Lian, this is Jing Yan.” Jing Yan’s voice came through.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan.” Elder Kuo Lian responded.

”Daoist Kuo Lian, I already know about the information your Mystic Moon Trading House released. For this, I’m very grateful, thank you.” Jing Yan said.

Elder Kuo Lian was at a loss for words, and the others all looked dispirited.

”However, I’ve also heard the news released by the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect: if the Mystic Moon Trading House sends people to the Slaughter God Hall, the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect will send people to intercept them.”

”Not only has the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect released such a message, but even Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable does not allow the Mystic Moon Trading House to intervene in this matter. Heh, I killed Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s Disciple Min Lan, so naturally he doesn’t want things to go easy for me. I could more or less foresee what he would do.”

Jing Yan let out a light laugh as he spoke.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan...” Elder Kuo Lian wanted to speak but stopped.

”Daoist Kuo Lian, I’m sending you this message first to thank you for your good intentions and for the support of the Mystic Moon Trading House. Second, I hope the Mystic Moon Trading House will no longer intervene in this matter. This matter is far too complicated—let me handle it myself.” Jing Yan continued.

Elder Kuo Lian and the others were slightly stunned. Jing Yan actually wanted them not to get involved in this?

The people present had truly not expected Jing Yan to make such a decision.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, you... how about you don’t go to the Slaughter God Hall for the time being? The Slaughter God Hall’s defensive capabilities are incomparably terrifying. Ever since the Slaughter God Hall was established in Faro Heaven, no one has ever been able to break into the core area of the Slaughter God Hall alone.” Elder Kuo Lian hurriedly tried to persuade him.

”The Slaughter God Hall is indeed powerful, but my mind is made up. No matter what awaits me ahead, I will definitely go. Elder Kuo Lian, there’s no need to try to dissuade me. All right, I won’t say more for now; we’ll talk again if there’s a chance.” Jing Yan cut off the communication with Elder Kuo Lian.

”Alas, this time I fear things bode ill for Fellow Daoist Jing Yan!” Elder Ming Hua sighed.

”The Slaughter God Hall has long been waiting for Fellow Daoist Jing Yan. For him to go there now is no different from walking right into the trap.” Elder Yu Hui shook his head.

At this moment, Jing Yan had already set out from Wuxia City, flying toward the Slaughter God Hall.

Accompanying Jing Yan was only Yuantong Immortal Venerable. The two of them continuously used Void Shuttling to hurry along, and at their current speed, they should enter the region where the Slaughter God Hall was located in about three days.

The entire Faro Heaven was also stirred into motion.

In fact, even before Jing Yan set out from Wuxia City, a large number of Cultivators from all parts of the Heavenly Domain had already headed toward the region of the Slaughter God Hall. These Cultivators did not dare enter the region directly controlled by the Slaughter God Hall, but they could remain outside its territory.

As long as Jing Yan really came to the Slaughter God Hall, they would be able to detect his trail.

Some believed Jing Yan would come to the Slaughter God Hall, some believed he would not, and there were even those who thought Jing Yan might head to the edge of the Heavenly Domain to hide, since the three hundred years given to him by Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable had already passed.

On this day, a crack suddenly appeared in space, and two people flew out from within the crack. These two people were Jing Yan and Yuantong Immortal Venerable. From here, going forward, it was the region under the control of the Slaughter God Hall.

Over these hundreds of years, the Slaughter God Hall had also made many preparations, sparing no expense and using massive amounts of materials to set up one Formation after another. These various Big Arrays were spread throughout this region. If Jing Yan were to directly shuttle through this space, he might collide with the Formations.

Jing Yan and Yuantong Immortal Venerable paused for a moment at the edge of the Slaughter God Hall’s territory.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, it seems quite a few people are hiding nearby!” Yuantong Immortal Venerable said with a smile.

Most of those Cultivators who had come early to the Slaughter God Hall region were at the Immortal Rhythm Level; naturally, it was very difficult for them to hide from Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s senses, and it was even more impossible for them to hide from Jing Yan’s perception.

Jing Yan simply couldn’t be bothered with these Cultivators.

”If they’re willing to stay here, let them stay.” Jing Yan said indifferently.

Yuantong Immortal Venerable nodded.

”Let’s keep going.” Jing Yan then said.

The two figures officially entered the Slaughter God Hall’s territory. Once here, they could already feel clear fluctuations of Demonic Qi. Most members of the Slaughter God Hall cultivated Dao Skills of Death and darkness; this Demonic Qi gave off a strong sense of oppression. However, Jing Yan and Yuantong were both Immortal Venerable powerhouses—such mere Demonic Qi was unlikely to affect them.

Their flying speed was extremely fast.

While flying, Jing Yan had already spread out his Divine Thought, sensing the Formations within this region. Jing Yan did not try to break these Formations; once he sensed their presence, he simply flew around them. Doing this saved more time than attempting to dismantle the Formations.

And the Slaughter God Hall’s main purpose in setting up Formations throughout this vast region was not really to pose any threat to Jing Yan. The greatest function of these Formations was to prevent Jing Yan from using methods like Instantaneous Movement to directly shuttle into the depths of the Slaughter God Hall.

Now that Jing Yan and Yuantong Immortal Venerable could only fly, once the Slaughter God Hall knew that Jing Yan had entered their territory, they would have ample time to prepare.

”Immortal Venerable Jing Yan has really come!”

”Yes... and the one with Immortal Venerable Jing Yan should be Yuantong Immortal Venerable, right? I saw him once before.”

”Yuantong Immortal Venerable is truly loyal. Even knowing that coming to the Slaughter God Hall is almost certain to mean not leaving alive, he’s still willing to come and die together with Immortal Venerable Jing Yan.”

”I have to send the news back immediately. Immortal Venerable Jing Yan is already close to the Slaughter God Hall; a great battle could break out at any time. I wonder how long Immortal Venerable Jing Yan will be able to hold out.”

Many Cultivators who saw Jing Yan and Yuantong Immortal Venerable enter the Slaughter God Hall’s territory voiced their thoughts one after another.
