The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2423: Chapter 2423: The Ruthless Jing Yan

The events happening at the auction house, Meili already knew.

Previously, the president of the auction house, Quan Guangzhen, sought her help, but she deliberately did not rush there immediately as she had other ideas. In fact, she also wanted Quan Guangzhen to die at the hands of the enemy, and then she would rush to the auction house to kill the enemy.

The issue is, she didn’t expect the auction house to collapse so quickly. This proves that the enemy is immensely powerful, likely not a mere ordinary Immortal Venerable. Generally, an early-stage Immortal Venerable cultivator couldn’t possess such terrifying strength and couldn’t completely destroy the auction house in such a short time. She faintly felt this enemy, who had established the New City, might be even stronger than her.

”City Lord, that Jing Yan from Hongmeng City and Ru Li have already arrived outside the City Lord Mansion. Should we let the guards attack?” The Chief Manager of the City Lord Mansion reported in front of City Lord Meili.

Upon hearing the Chief Manager’s words, Meili stood up and looked outside.

”The guard? I’m afraid the guard cannot do anything to this person. I... will meet him personally! I want to see how many heads he has!” Meili’s voice was pleasant, yet her words were filled with killing intent.

She flashed out of the room, and in the blink of an eye, she was outside the City Lord Mansion.

”City Lord Meili has arrived!”

”City Lord Meili is truly beautiful, this is the third time I’ve seen the City Lord.”

”Hmph, her beauty has nothing to do with you. Do you think you can...” someone said, curling their lips.

City Lord Meili, a renowned beauty in the Thunder Domain, naturally, being a middle-stage Immortal Venerable, ordinary cultivators had no chance to approach City Lord Meili. It was difficult for ordinary people even to catch a glimpse of City Lord Meili.

”Who are you?” City Lord Meili saw Jing Yan and Ru Li, her gaze first swept fiercely over Ru Li and then settled on Jing Yan.

”City Lord of Hongmeng City, Jing Yan. You must be City Lord Meili of Mystic Underworld City?” Jing Yan’s calm voice said.

”How dare you, to address the City Lord by name?” A captain-level guard shouted at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s eyes turned cold, and he pointed a finger at the guard captain.

A finger seal suddenly appeared, swiftly passing through the space to reach the captain’s front. City Lord Meili, seeing Jing Yan make a move, also wanted to stop it, but when she attempted to cast a spell, she sensed the finger seal had already approached the guard, too late for her to intervene.

Sure enough, the next moment, the captain, with a late-stage Immortal Realm cultivation, let out a tragic cry, a bloody hole appearing on his forehead, and his body fell.

Ruthless!

Dominating!

To kill at the slightest disagreement, and that too in front of City Lord Meili.

The onlooking cultivators were once again dazed. This City Lord Jing Yan, was he not too ferocious? From the looks of it, he didn’t seem to fear City Lord Meili at all, as if even the Golden Toad Commerce wasn’t enough to intimidate him?

Some thought perhaps this Jing Yan didn’t know that Mystic Underworld City was backed by the Golden Toad Commerce, but then dismissed the thought; with Ru Li by his side, how could he not know that the mighty Golden Toad Commerce was behind Mystic Underworld City?

”Damn it! You dare to kill someone?” City Lord Meili, with divine power surging all over her, glared angrily at Jing Yan and shouted.

”Kill someone? Haha, I have killed quite a few people today. That Quan Guangzhen from the auction house, I killed him too. But so what? City Lord Meili, what can you do?” Jing Yan replied domineeringly.

”You...” Meili wanted to strike down Jing Yan, but she hesitated.

In the city, she could utilize the power of the formation, yet even so, she wasn’t confident. She couldn’t understand why this cultivator named Jing Yan gave her an extremely dangerous feeling.

”City Lord Meili, I don’t have time to waste words with you. You and Quan Guangzhen secretly seized what belonged to me, now shouldn’t you return it to its rightful owner?” Jing Yan said slowly again.

”Could it be true that City Lord Meili and President Quan Guangzhen took someone’s belongings?”

”It’s quite possible, otherwise why would City Lord Jing Yan confront them in person?”

”...” The cultivators started discussing again, with some beginning to believe Jing Yan’s words.

”Hmph, I don’t know what you are talking about.” Of course, City Lord Meili wouldn’t admit, and she shouted angrily, ”Jing Yan, I don’t care who you are, daring to kill people from the Golden Toad Commerce in Mystic Underworld City is courting death. I know you’ve also established a city; I can tell you that in less than half a month, your city will be leveled by the Golden Toad Commerce. If I were you, I’d leave Mystic Underworld City immediately and flee far away to a place where the Golden Toad Commerce can’t find you.”

City Lord Meili indeed lacked confidence. Otherwise, why would she say such words instead of directly attempting to kill or capture Jing Yan?

Jing Yan shook his head and said, ”Seems City Lord Meili wants me to make a move.”

”Swoosh!” As his words fell, Jing Yan made a grasping gesture in the void.

”Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique!” Jing Yan performed the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique.

Space imprisonment formed around City Lord Meili, immense force pressing down on her.

”Damn it, I really want to see what you’re capable of!” City Lord Meili desperately unleashed divine power, and her divine thought turned, mobilizing the power of the city’s big array, intending to use the formation to suppress Jing Yan.

Unfortunately, her strength was far inferior to Jing Yan. She couldn’t even break through the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique. Mobilizing the city’s big array had no effect either. The power of the formation couldn’t approach Jing Yan’s body, as if a force around Jing Yan was keeping the array’s power at bay. Not only did it have no effect on Jing Yan himself, but even Ru Li beside Jing Yan didn’t feel the pressure of the array’s power.

”What... what kind of person is he!” Ru Li was truly a bit panicked.

And at this moment, Jing Yan took a step.

A large number of cultivators watching saw Jing Yan’s body sway slightly before disappearing from his original position, and the next moment, he was beside City Lord Meili.

They saw the City Lord Jing Yan extend a hand as if he was touching City Lord Meili. Those with stronger cultivation saw that the City Lord Jing Yan had actually taken the storage magical treasure from City Lord Meili.

However, it wasn’t over.

After taking City Lord Meili’s storage magical treasure, Jing Yan, with a thought, broke the restriction on the storage magical treasure and saw the large amount of resources inside. The twenty-two Divine Soul Items were among them.

Indeed, Meili intended to swallow up most of the Divine Soul Items, and she naturally wouldn’t put such extremely valuable items elsewhere; keeping them herself was safest and least likely to leak.

”Good, very good, excellent!” Jing Yan smiled and put away the storage magical treasure.

Suddenly, his eyes turned sharp, and he grabbed City Lord Meili’s arm again. The next moment, a mass of blood mist burst from City Lord Meili’s body.
