Chapter 1230: Chapter 1330: He’s Nothing!
"Brother Yan Jin!"
"Greetings, Brother Yan Jin!"
"Brother Yan Jin has emerged from seclusion..."
After a brief silence, the hall was filled with voices greeting in succession. Everyone stood up, faces filled with reverence, bowing towards Jing Yan.
Seeing this scene, Jing Yan couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing. He recalled the time when he traveled from the Northern Domain to the Eastern Domain, facing these same people in this hall of the Void Divine Ship, yet no one paid him any attention when he arrived.
The situation now was completely different.
Within the Upper Pure Secret Realm, wielding his sword to slay Demon Zhao made Jing Yan’s prestige unmatched.
Jing Yan nodded towards the crowd as a gesture of greeting.
"Brother Yan Jin!" Fuying Fairy stepped forward, slightly bowing to Jing Yan, with a hint of blush on her cold face, showing bashful demeanor. This scene made quite a few people present a bit mesmerized.
The charisma of Fuying Fairy, ranked second on the Ten Beauties list, was evident.
"Brother Yan Jin." Fairy Hong Jue followed closely, showing her teeth and calling out warmly.
"Greetings, fairies." Jing Yan cupped his hands in salute.
"Please, everyone sit down, just pretend I’m not here." Jing Yan then waved to the martial artists who were still standing.
The crowd exchanged glances, although Jing Yan permitted them casually, no one dared to just sit down.
Jing Yan frowned slightly and had to take a seat by a stone table first. Seeing Jing Yan seated, others gradually sat down as well.
Jing Yan casually ordered some wine and food.
At this moment, Liu Yifan approached with a complex expression.
"Brother Yan Jin!" Liu Yifan called out.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!" Following that, Liu Yifan fiercely slapped his own face.
The crisp sounds echoed clearly throughout the hall.
Liu Yifan’s eyes reddened, "Brother, I was blind and narrow-minded before, and have shown disrespect to you. Now, I am apologizing, and hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me once."
Since learning about Jing Yan’s defeat of Demon Zhao, Liu Yifan hadn’t had a day of peace. He constantly worried that Jing Yan might retaliate against him. He had discussed countermeasures with Zhu Chun and others, all of whom advised him to sincerely apologize to Brother Yan Jin, perhaps there would be a turnaround.
Today, taking this opportunity, he apologized.
"You go hard indeed!" Jing Yan looked at Liu Yifan’s gradually swelling head, mind stirred.
In truth, Liu Yifan had been overly worried. Had Jing Yan intended to teach him a lesson, he would have acted long ago, why wait until now? People like Liu Yifan were nothing to Jing Yan. Jing Yan didn’t care about minor verbal offenses.
"Liu Yifan, you don’t need to do this." Jing Yan said, looking at Liu Yifan, "I have no plans to hold onto past grievances. As long as you behave from now on, I won’t pursue you further."
Hearing Jing Yan’s words, Liu Yifan let out a slight breath of relief. Today, here in the hall, his actions were somewhat embarrassing. But compared to his life, what’s embarrassment? Moreover, surrendering to a strong person like Brother Yan Jin, others couldn’t call him cowardly.
"Thank you, Brother! Thank you!" Liu Yifan, with a swollen face, squeezed out an awkward smile at Jing Yan.
Jing Yan waved his hand, and Liu Yifan cautiously retreated.
Over the following months, Jing Yan remained in the hall.
Fuying Fairy also took many opportunities to converse with Jing Yan. However, Jing Yan only responded briefly, as he really didn’t like the woman, Fuying Fairy. She was beautiful, but so what?
Didn’t Fairy Xiuyan from the Eastern Domain, ranked third on the Ten Beauties list, also get killed by Jing Yan without hesitation?
Fuying Fairy could certainly sense Jing Yan’s attitude, as he was indeed more cordial towards Hong Jue than towards her. She regretted it; if she had known earlier, she certainly would have performed better than Hong Jue. However, regret came too late.
Several months flew by.
On this day, the Void Divine Ship entered the Void City within the Beibi River Divine Domain. Following Domain Master Hao Yuntian, everyone returned to the main city of the Divine Domain.
Within the Domain Lord Mansion.
In a room, Jing Yan and Hao Yuntian sat down.
"Mr. Yan Jin, what are your plans next?" Hao Yuntian said pleasantly, "Why don’t you stay here and cultivate? You may freely use the resources of the mansion’s Treasure Vault, no need to stand on ceremony with me."
Jing Yan’s expression was somewhat heavy, and he remained silent for a moment.
"The old guy Chen Qi from the Eastern Domain, you don’t need to worry too much. While you remain in the mansion, he has no way to deal with you secretly. If he comes personally, I have the confidence to handle him." Hao Yuntian assumed Jing Yan worried about Chen Qi’s retaliation.
"Cloud Sky Domain Master," Jing Yan paused, then spoke, "Actually, I’m not too concerned about Chen Qi."
"What worries me is the Purple Spirit Commerce!" Jing Yan hadn’t forgotten the Purple Spirit Commerce’s High-Level Elder Rui An wanted to kill him.
Calculating the time, that Void Divine Ship should reach the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain in about twenty years. If Rui An doesn’t plan to spare him, then after reaching the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain, there could be further actions to find him in the Beibi River Divine Domain. That means, at the soonest, Rui An’s retaliation would arrive in fifty years.
Jing Yan was not confident in condensing his own Divine Core within fifty years.
"Purple Spirit Commerce?" Hao Yuntian was familiar with the organization; the Void City Waterway Pier within the Beibi River Divine Domain had a branch of Purple Spirit Commerce, "Do you have enmity with Purple Spirit Commerce?"
Jing Yan nodded and recounted his journey from the White Sand Divine Domain on the Void Divine Ship, where he incurred Rui An’s enmity.
"Hahaha, I thought you had offended the president of Purple Spirit Commerce. A mere high-level elder is nothing to worry about. If he dares to come, I’ll ensure he doesn’t return!" Hao Yuntian said with a fierce wave of his hand.
If Jing Yan had offended the president of Purple Spirit Commerce, he would think it troublesome. The president was a Nine Tripods Main God strong person. But Jing Yan offended a mere high-level elder, a name he hadn’t even heard of, likely just a True Origin Main God. What does a True Origin Main God count for?
Hao Yuntian glanced at Jing Yan, his mind moving slightly, "If Mr. Yan Jin condenses a Divine Core, with his talent and combat power, he’d likely immediately match that Rui An, the Purple Spirit Commerce elder. Then, there’d be no need for my protection, and Rui An wouldn’t be able to harm Mr. Yan Jin in the slightest."
"Cloud Sky Domain Master, Rui An might not be concerning, but should he use the power of the commerce?" Jing Yan raised his head and said.
"Rest assured, Mr. Yan Jin. I can assure you, Rui An will at most use the power he can command. As an elder, he has no authority to mobilize the entire Purple Spirit Commerce." Hao Yuntian squinted slightly, speaking indifferently.
