The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 903: Ridiculous
Chapter 903: Chapter 903: Ridiculous
Zi Ming’s intentions were just as Jing Yan had thought.
He was interested in Jing Yan’s subordinates, not Jing Yan himself.
Hearing Jing Yan’s words, Elder Zi Ming’s face grew angrier.
"Elder Zi Ming, please don’t speak for now." An elder with white hair lightly glanced at Zi Ming.
He was the Chu Family’s Ancestor and the only living Saint Realm Third Stage expert of the Chu Family.
He first instructed Zi Ming to remain silent, then looked at Jing Yan.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, Elder Zi Ming’s words just now do not represent the intentions of our Chu Family." The Chu Family Ancestor’s attitude was quite polite, without any airs of a senior, and addressed Jing Yan as a fellow Daoist, which showed respect.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, you are Lianxing’s son. Although you grew up in the Heavenly Origin Continent and your father is a human from the Heavenly Origin Continent, you still carry the Chu Family’s bloodline. I sincerely hope that you will return to the Chu Family." The Chu Family Ancestor’s tone was rather gentle.
"Indeed, Jing Yan, over the years, the Chu Family has indeed failed to protect you. You can blame me, your grandfather. But now, please return to our Chu Family. Rest assured, I can guarantee that the family will not force you to do anything you don’t want to do." Chu Hongnan also spoke sincerely.
Chu Hongnan genuinely felt guilty towards Jing Yan. After all, Jing Yan was his grandson, his daughter’s son. Now that Jing Yan had grown up and had several strong subordinates, both publicly and privately, Chu Hongnan hoped that Jing Yan would join the Chu Family and become one of them.
"I will not join the Chu Family." Jing Yan shook his head.
"Furthermore, I will take my mother away from the Quicksand Divine Domain. My mother should reunite with my father." Jing Yan continued, "Of course, I won’t leave right away. I will deal with the Netherworld Sect first."
"For the sake of my mother, I will help the Chu Family. The newly discovered ore source by the Chu Family, hiding a Divine Crystal Vein, will be completely controlled and mined by the Chu Family. And the gathering place of the Quicksand Divine Domain in the Chaotic Land will also be controlled by the Chu Family. How much benefit you extract from it will be up to your discussion and decision." Jing Yan spoke slowly.
He would not join the Chu Family anymore.
From the moment the Chu Family forcibly separated his mother and father, Jing Yan’s decision was destined.
The Qiankun Ring he obtained was brought out from the Death Temple by his mother and father and had nothing to do with the Chu Family. If he hadn’t been lucky and cultivated quickly, how could he still be alive now? His father, Jing Lunnan, might also be dead. The Jing Family would have disappeared from the Heavenly Origin Continent.
The Chu Family Ancestor and Chu Hongnan exchanged a glance. They saw Jing Yan’s firm attitude and knew it would be hard to persuade him.
Fortunately, Jing Yan still planned to help the Chu Family against the Netherworld Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, since you have made your decision, the Chu Family will not force you." The Chu Family Ancestor said.
"Thank you." Jing Yan expressed his gratitude.
"The destruction of the Netherworld Sect’s battle camp will not go unanswered. They must be gathering their forces now, preparing to attack the Chu Family. We should make preparations in advance. I have already contacted some sect masters and clan leaders, but most of them have not agreed to support our Chu Family." Chu Hongnan paused and said.
"Clan Leader, with Jing Yan and these several strong individuals helping us, even if other forces don’t want to oppose the Netherworld Sect, the Chu Family still has a chance." Chu Xianlie spoke up.
"Jing Yan, will these Daoists assist the Chu Family?" Chu Hongnan looked at the puppets including Old Second.
He was still doubtful, worried that Jing Yan could not fully control these powerful subordinates. Without their help, the Chu Family had no chance against the Netherworld Sect.
"Chu Clan Leader, rest assured, my subordinates and I will do our best to deal with the Netherworld Sect. Since I have exterminated their battle camp, I have naturally considered this aspect." Jing Yan understood Chu Hongnan’s concern.
Chu Hongnan, upon hearing this, smiled awkwardly.
"With these Daoists’ help, the Chu Family can indeed feel assured." Chu Hongnan said, "As the leader of the Chu Family, on behalf of the Chu Family, I thank these Daoists for their assistance."
Chu Hongnan cupped his hands towards the puppets including Old Second.
"No need to thank us, we only listen to Jing Yan. To be honest, if Jing Yan ordered us to kill you Chu Family members, we would do it immediately." Old Second said expressionlessly.
The Chu Family members felt a chill in their hearts.
To be able to kill five Saint Realm Third Stage martial artists and destroy the Netherworld Sect’s battle camp in such a short time, this combat power, to kill all the Chu Family members here, would indeed not be too difficult.
"You Chu Family members are really amusing. Even at this point, you are still wondering if Jing Yan can command us. It’s truly laughable. Don’t you understand that the six of us together are no match for Jing Yan? Yet you worry about whether we would help the Chu Family." Old Seven sneered.
Old Seven and the other puppets, with intelligence equivalent to humans, could naturally see that the Chu Family did not fully trust Jing Yan.
Old Seven’s words made the Chu Family members frown.
What did this mean?
These people actually said that even if they teamed up, they were not Jing Yan’s match.
Did they hear it wrong?
"Clan Leader, although Jing Yan is only at Saint Realm Third Stage, he is not comparable to an ordinary Saint Realm Third Stage." Chu Xianlie said with a bitter smile.
"Saint Realm Third Stage?"
"Jing Yan is at Saint Realm Third Stage?"
"This... How is that possible?" Chu Hongnan and others stood there, stunned.
From beginning to end, they never thought that Jing Yan’s cultivation would be very strong. Now hearing Chu Xianlie say that Jing Yan was at Saint Realm Third Stage, they were genuinely shocked.
"Jing Yan alone destroyed the entire Netherworld Sect battle camp. The Chain Formation and the Sect Suppressing Sacred Artifact Ocean’s Woe of the Netherworld Sect were powerless before Jing Yan." Chu Xianlie inhaled slightly and said.
"Sss~"
Chu Hongnan and others were completely dumbfounded.
One person destroyed the Netherworld Sect battle camp? What kind of cultivation is this? Even at Saint Realm Third Stage, it shouldn’t be possible to achieve this, right?
In the Quicksand Divine Domain over the years, the Chu Family had seen nearly all the Saint Realm Third Stage martial artists of the Five Divine Domains, but they had never imagined that there would be a Saint Realm Third Stage this powerful.
To achieve this level, only a Half-step Void God level expert could manage.
But in this world, Half-step Void Gods had disappeared since the Human-God War. In thousands of years, there had been no rumors of a Half-step Void God appearing.
A Half-step Void God is a level beyond the Saint Realm Third Stage, situated between the Saint Realm Third Stage and a Void God.
"The destruction of the Netherworld Sect battle camp was indeed by Jing Yan alone. At that time, we, along with several Daoists, were still on our way back to the battle camp. When we arrived, everyone in the Netherworld Sect battle camp was already dead, including Lu Chen, the commander." Chu Zhen glanced at Jing Yan and added.
