The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2356: Chapter 2356: Posturing

Jing Yan nodded.

”Wu Guo Heavenly Lord said that that old scoundrel Fire Cloud wants to negotiate!” Jing Yan said with a cold sneer.

Three hundred years ago, Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud publicly declared to the entire Heavenly Domain that he wanted Jing Yan to personally seek forgiveness; now he wants to negotiate.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan single-handedly destroyed the Slaughter God Hall, Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud must be terrified!” Elder Kuo Lian also chuckled and added, ”I fear that Wan Lunhai must also be restless, right?”

”They want to talk, so I’ll give them a chance. I want to see what they have to say,” Jing Yan said.

”What is Wu Guo Heavenly Lord’s stance?” Elder Kuo Lian asked again.

”Wu Guo Heavenly Lord said he’s only delivering a message and doesn’t have any position. However, since he’s delivering the message, it shows he hopes I will negotiate with that old scoundrel Fire Cloud and the others; otherwise, he wouldn’t have communicated it to me,” Jing Yan shook his head and said.

Elder Kuo Lian nodded and then said, ”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, the items collected from the remnants of the Slaughter God Hall by Immortal Venerable Yuantong have already been inventoried by our Mystic Moon Trading House. According to your instructions, all the more sinister magic treasures have been destroyed. However, much of the Slaughter God Hall’s wealth is comprised of various precious materials. If you have time, could you take a look at the Treasure Vault?”

After the Slaughter God Hall was destroyed by Jing Yan, he had Immortal Venerable Yuantong help gather various resources. The wealth accumulated by the Slaughter God Hall over countless years is staggering, and although many escaped with a lot, the remaining resources are still astronomical.

Jing Yan had instructed Kuo Lian to directly destroy sinister magic treasures like the Heavenly Demon Spirit Net, but most of the resources are treasures in the form of materials, along with many normal magic treasures, and even a significant number of Immortal Venerable level magic treasures and spells.

If all these things were converted into Black Crystal Stones, they could form a powerful force.

”Hmm, it would be good to take a look.” Jing Yan said.

Jing Yan still needs many rare materials, for example, he wants to perform the Ten Thousand Thunder Prison and Silent Annihilation from the Thunder Origin, both of which require a staggering amount and variety of rare materials. There are also other areas where materials are needed.

Keep what can be used, and convert what can’t be used into Black Crystal Stones or other basic resources.

The date for negotiation was quickly set. Half a month later, at the residence of Wu Guo Heavenly Lord.

Half a month passed by swiftly.

On this day, many renowned figures were welcomed into the gigantic palace at the residence of Wu Guo Heavenly Lord.

Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud, Wan Lunhai, and others arrived relatively early. Besides those like Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud who had direct conflicts with Jing Yan, many other Immortal Venerables with deep-standing reputations in the Heavenly Domain also came, such as the Yangshan Master.

Wu Guo Heavenly Lord specifically prepared a separate Great Hall for today’s negotiation, able to accommodate many people.

Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud and Wan Lunhai, clearly concerned about other issues, didn’t come alone, but brought many Immortal Venerable Realm cultivators with them.

Immortal Venerable Si Chi, a disciple of Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud, also arrived together.

In this Great Hall, people kept arriving, and the sounds of greetings never stopped. Many were Immortal Venerables rarely seen in Faro Heaven, including figures on the same level as the Yangshan Master.

Wu Guo Heavenly Lord maintained proper etiquette with these people, showing no airs of a Heavenly Domain Lord. Of course, they were also very polite to Wu Guo Heavenly Lord. Regardless, Wu Guo Heavenly Lord is the Heavenly Domain Lord and the acknowledged leader of Faro Heaven.

The number of people kept increasing, and after the initial commotion, the Great Hall gradually quieted down.

Today’s main characters are Jing Yan and several people including Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud and Wan Lunhai. At this moment, Jing Yan had yet to appear.

”This brat is truly inflated.” Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud thought to himself, ”Letting so many senior figures wait for him, he has clearly forgotten who he is.”

Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud only thought this to himself, he didn’t speak it out loud.

”Esteemed seniors!” The disciple of Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud, Si Chi, seemed to share his master’s thoughts. He suddenly stood up, clasping his hands in respect to the surrounding Immortal Venerables with a humble demeanor.

People around looked towards Si Chi; many weren’t unfamiliar with him, being the disciple of Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud, and Si Chi had entered the Immortal Venerable Realm for quite some time, much longer than the late Immortal Venerable Min Lan whom Jing Yan had slain.

”This Jing Yan has quite the airs. He knows that all you esteemed seniors are participating in today’s negotiation, yet he tardies and isn’t present, lacking any sense of propriety.” Immortal Venerable Si Chi declared loudly.

The expressions of the surrounding Immortal Venerables varied, some squinted as if they were daydreaming, others smiled, and some slightly nodded in agreement with Immortal Venerable Si Chi’s words.

”Si Chi, sit down! This isn’t a place for you to speak,” Immortal Venerable Fire Cloud’s slow voice sounded.

Though it seemed like he was chastising Immortal Venerable Si Chi, the tone wasn’t severe. Immortal Venerable Si Chi chuckled and then sat down.

”Haha, Immortal Venerable Jing Yan leveled the Slaughter God Hall by himself! And very young too, of course, he would be proud and indifferent to us old folks,” Sect Master Wan Lunhai said with a self-deprecating laugh.

”Sect Master, I think Immortal Venerable Jing Yan has gone too far! If this negotiation were only between you and him, then it’s understandable for him to stand on ceremony a bit. But for this negotiation, with so many esteemed seniors present, what grounds does he have to show any airs?” A Dao Sect elder stood up and addressed Master Lun Hai.

”Wait a bit, it’s not a problem. We’re already here and won’t mind spending this little extra time,” Yangshan Master spoke up.

”Brother Yangshan has a good temper,” an Immortal Venerable said with a smile while looking at the Yangshan Master, then continued, ”Sigh, we are truly old! This time secluded at the border of the Heavenly Domain for not very long, just a few billion years, and yet such a monster emerged in our Heavenly Domain. You all don’t know, when I first heard the news of the Slaughter God Hall’s destruction, I was really startled, and then I heard it was destroyed by just one person, my first reaction was to think it’s a joke. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.”

”Indeed! At first, I also couldn’t believe it, clicking my tongue in disbelief... truly astonishing. This time I’ve come primarily to see Immortal Venerable Jing Yan. Someone who single-handedly wiped out the Slaughter God Hall, I must meet,” said another very venerable Immortal Venerable.

”Esteemed seniors, fellow Daoists!”

Wu Guo Heavenly Lord stood up.

”Immortal Venerable Jing Yan has arrived,” Wu Guo Heavenly Lord announced as he turned his gaze.

Moments earlier, he had received a divine thought transmission from Jing Yan, indicating that Jing Yan and Elder Kuo Lian from the Mystic Moon Trading House had arrived.

As soon as Wu Guo Heavenly Lord finished speaking, several figures walked in from the main entrance of the Great Hall.
