Chapter 2138: Wuxia Heavenly Monarch’s Chambers

These people are not lacking in highly sensitive information. Moreover, even those with less powerful channels can easily find out that Zu Ming and Chunyu Qing compensated the Ying Family with over thirty billion Black Crystal Stones, which, to be exact, was a tribute to Jing Yan.

In these people’s view, after Jing Yan took thirty billion Black Crystal Stones, it’s certainly impossible for him to give a portion to the Ying Family. If the Ying Family wants to take even ten percent of the resources, that would be a mere dream.

"Once the meat is in your mouth, how could you possibly give it back?"

"Could it be that Lord Ying Zhu dares to say more? If he angers Jing Yan, it wouldn’t take much effort to destroy Divine Martial City, right?"

Some strange remarks circulated in small circles.

The battle at Divine Martial City catapulted Jing Yan’s reputation to unimaginable heights within the Blue Rain Divine Continent. Initially, many strong forces within the Blue Rain Divine Continent’s territories were envious of the Ying Family’s luck. But when they tried to visit Jing Yan in Divine Martial City and were refused, their initial envy quickly turned into jealousy, leading to deep dissatisfaction with Jing Yan.

The human heart is often this way.

Idle whispers swiftly reached Divine Martial City, falling upon the ears of Lord Ying Zhu. Upon hearing these voices, Lord Ying Zhu was naturally enraged. He immediately had Mr. Ju Yu spread the word that the Ying Family received as many as fifteen billion Black Crystal Stones from Mr. Jing Yan.

When this news spread, the atmosphere within the Blue Rain Divine Continent changed immediately, followed by even more rampant voices. Most didn’t believe Lord Ying Zhu’s statement. They thought that the reason he claimed the Ying Family got fifteen billion Black Crystal Stones was because he feared offending Jing Yan. To them, it was like lying to a child. Would Jing Yan really give half of the resources to the Ying Family? Ridiculous!

Lord Ying Zhu anticipated that many wouldn’t believe it, so he simultaneously began purchasing Immortal Rhythm Treasures and spells of Immortal Rhythm level through various channels. Moreover, he made generous purchases of various precious materials, even those that were not immediately necessary, as long as they might be used in the future.

A vast amount of resources was spent by Lord Ying Zhu.

At this point, those strange voices disappeared.

Even if they didn’t believe it, even if they were jealous, they couldn’t say more strange things. Clearly, Lord Ying Zhu truly obtained a huge amount of resources. Otherwise, as a three-tier lord, there was no way he could purchase so many valuable items. This meant that Jing Yan actually gave a large amount of Black Crystal Stones to Lord Ying Zhu.

Days after Jing Yan left Divine Martial City, a well-known Nether Sky Realm cultivator came to Divine Martial City seeking an audience with Lord Ying Zhu, hoping to become a guest in the Ying Family Territory.

And this was just the beginning!

Wuxia City, the capital of Blue Rain Divine Continent, the city where Wuxia Heavenly Monarch resided.

Upon hearing reports from her subordinates that Jing Yan had come for a visit, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch immediately went out to greet him personally.

It must be said, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch’s attitude towards Jing Yan was overly courteous.

Jing Yan’s strength was indeed very strong, even Ji Bian was not his match. However, with Wuxia Heavenly Monarch’s esteemed status, she could kill Ji Bian in one move. For someone of her identity and power to greet Jing Yan in person was somewhat abnormal.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, we’re meeting again!" Wuxia Heavenly Monarch’s voice was gentle, smiling at Jing Yan.

"Greetings, Heavenly Monarch." Jing Yan cupped his hands in salute.

This time, Jing Yan’s main reason for visiting Wuxia Heavenly Monarch wasn’t because of her invitation. Instead, he wanted to obtain some treasures to enhance his combat power from Wuxia Heavenly Monarch. Given Wuxia Heavenly Monarch’s status, she could certainly acquire many treasures beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Wuxia Heavenly Monarch personally led Jing Yan into her residence.

Inside the Heavenly Monarch’s residence, several cultivators of high status emerged to meet Jing Yan.

During the battle of Divine Martial City, some within the Heavenly Monarch’s residence witnessed the proceedings firsthand and knew well of Jing Yan’s formidable power. They couldn’t treat Jing Yan as a mere ordinary Nether Sky Realm cultivator. In fact, they couldn’t even regard him as a typical Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm cultivator.

Having just broken through to a new realm, he could suppress Ji Bian. If his realm improved even slightly, his combat power would undoubtedly be even stronger.

After Jing Yan briefly exchanged words with some prominent figures within the Heavenly Monarch’s residence, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch ordered someone to prepare accommodations for Jing Yan, informing him that he could reside freely within the Heavenly Monarch’s residence while he was in Wuxia City.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, you’ve traveled a long journey from Divine Martial City to Wuxia City. Why not rest for a few days?" Wuxia Heavenly Monarch looked at Jing Yan with her beautiful eyes, her breath like orchids.

"Lord Heavenly Monarch, I think you invited me to Wuxia City because you wanted to discuss something with me, right? Why not finish our conversation first, and then I’ll rest." Jing Yan smiled as he spoke.

During the battle at Divine Martial City, when Ji Bian attempted to escape, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch intervened and killed him. In truth, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch didn’t need to do so. If she genuinely wanted to kill Ji Bian, she wouldn’t have waited until the end to act. Although Wuxia Heavenly Monarch had a reason, as she had long warned Ji Bian not to commit evil in the Blue Rain Divine Continent, the reason wasn’t all that compelling.

Wuxia Heavenly Monarch could have chosen to kill Ji Bian or not. In Jing Yan’s view, without other considerations, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch wouldn’t have directly killed Ji Bian.

After the battle of Divine Martial City, Jing Yan speculated a lot. He thought Wuxia Heavenly Monarch killed Ji Bian perhaps more to leave a good impression on him. As for why Wuxia Heavenly Monarch wanted to impress him, Jing Yan wasn’t sure yet.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, you’re indeed wise."

"Daoist, follow me." Seeing that Jing Yan didn’t want to rest yet, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch squinted slightly as she spoke.

Jing Yan followed Wuxia Heavenly Monarch to a quiet room. It seemed to be Wuxia Heavenly Monarch’s quarters. Beyond the room, there were no other cultivators around; even the guards of the residence patrolled from a far distance.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, please sit!" Wuxia Heavenly Monarch sat down first and then said to Jing Yan.

After Jing Yan sat down, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch moved her feet a bit, kicking off her light green short boots and revealing a pair of delicate feet.

Jing Yan couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward as his gaze flickered over.

However, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch seemed oblivious, her eyes still fixed on Jing Yan.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, Ji Bian wanted Zu Ming to attack the Ying Family Territory because of this Immortal Rhythm Treasure." Wuxia Heavenly Monarch reached out and gently waved.

In front of her, the Void Eye appeared.

Jing Yan’s eyes slightly narrowed upon seeing the Void Eye. He recognized it immediately since it was what he had put up for auction. The Void Eye was bought by Zu Ming, then ended up in Ji Bian’s hands. After Ji Bian was killed by Wuxia Heavenly Monarch, the relics naturally fell into her possession.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, this is a Virtualization Treasure. Such treasures are rarely seen in the Blue Rain Divine Continent. In fact, items of the Void Transformation Lineage are incredibly rare throughout the entire Immortal Domain." Wuxia Heavenly Monarch gently turned her eyes.
