Chapter 2228: Chapter 2228: Fortunately
When Elder Yu Hui spoke these words to Ao Hong, a touch of ferocity was already visible in his eyes. Ao Hong was Elder Kuo Lian’s man, but before coming, Elder Yu Hui and the other elders had already reached a consensus with Elder Kuo Lian. They unanimously believed that for the sake of the greater good, Ao Hong, the regional inspector, could be abandoned if necessary.
"Mr. Jing Yan, I have offended you much before, please forgive me." Inspector Ao Hong lowered his proud head.
Jing Yan glanced at Ao Hong, then turned his gaze to the two elders of the Mystic Moon Trading House.
The events of today indeed seemed somewhat bizarre. Jing Yan couldn’t figure out why the elders of the Mystic Moon Trading House were so courteous to him. Even if he possessed the combat power of an Immortal Venerable level cultivator, it shouldn’t prompt such a response from them, right? The elders of the Mystic Moon Trading House were similarly courteous to Yuantong Immortal Venerable, but with a certain arrogance underlying their outward politeness.
Jing Yan waved his hand at Ao Hong.
Jing Yan didn’t have a good impression of Ao Hong. If given the chance, Jing Yan would mercilessly eliminate Ao Hong. However, the attitude of the Mystic Moon Trading House was strange, and until the issues with the Mystic Moon Trading House were clarified, Jing Yan felt it best to hold back.
As it stands, he, Jing Yan, cannot challenge the entire Mystic Moon Trading House.
"Thank you, Mr. Jing Yan." Ao Hong quickly spoke again.
He felt incredibly humiliated inside, yet he already sensed the attitudes of Elders Kuo Lian and Yu Hui. He clearly understood when it was appropriate to lower his head, so even though he didn’t know why Elders Kuo Lian and Yu Hui were so courteous to Jing Yan, he quickly complied with their demands.
Elder Kuo Lian and Elder Yu Hui’s faces also again showed smiles.
"Yuantong Immortal Venerable, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan. Shall we... go inside to speak?" Elder Kuo Lian laughed as he said this.
"Haha, look at what I’ve done, please go ahead, elders." Yuantong Immortal Venerable laughed heartily as he spoke.
"Ao Hong, wait outside." Elder Kuo Lian instructed Ao Hong.
A group of people entered the palace where Yuantong Immortal Venerable resided.
Everyone sat down.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Jing Yan achieved rich rewards in the Yellow Spring Cave and even ventured into the Netherworld Map?" Kuo Lian looked at Jing Yan.
Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "This time entering the Yellow Spring Cave, luck was on my side. I obtained a large Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein."
Jing Yan only mentioned obtaining a large Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein and didn’t divulge information about the Netherworld Map or the Netherworld Heart.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, please don’t misunderstand. Netherworld Crystal Stones are indeed good things. Our Mystic Moon Trading House also treasures them greatly. However, even if you obtained ten veins in the Yellow Spring Cave, our Mystic Moon Trading House wouldn’t entertain other thoughts."
"As for Lu Chun, although he died at the hands of Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, based on what we know, his death was deserved. Elder Yu Hui, myself, and other elders all consider Lu Chun a disgrace to the Mystic Moon Trading House. Even if he hadn’t died by Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s hand in the Yellow Spring Cave, we wouldn’t have spared him internally."
"..."
Elder Kuo Lian said a lot, but his main point was that their Mystic Moon Trading House would definitely not covet the rewards Jing Yan obtained in the Yellow Spring Cave.
In Elder Kuo Lian’s extensive speech, the Netherworld Heart was not brought up again.
Seated next to Jing Yan, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch also exchanged Divine Thoughts with Jing Yan, analyzing what kind of scheme the Mystic Moon Trading House’s elders were up to. But it was all mere speculation, and Wuxia Heavenly Monarch didn’t have any clear thoughts.
Even Yuantong Immortal Venerable was equally clueless.
Earlier, he had prepared for extreme measures, ready to intervene if necessary to create an escape opportunity for Jing Yan. Who would have thought the two elders of the Mystic Moon Trading House would come with this attitude?
Outside, a crowd gathered to discuss. The actions of the two elders from the Mystic Moon Trading House today were completely contrary to their expectations. And with things developing to this point, it had already impacted the Mystic Moon Trading House. Once the news spreads, many people might say the Mystic Moon Trading House feared Jing Yan.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, when you defeated Black River Heavenly Monarch in the Yellow Spring Cave, you used a Thunder Attack Technique at that time. If we’re not mistaken, it should be the Thunder Origin, right?" Elder Yu Hui suddenly spoke, staring at Jing Yan as he said this.
Jing Yan’s eyes subtly flickered.
Upon hearing this, he suddenly grasped something.
Their lack of prosecution and apology might be because he used the Thunder Light Shining Immortal Technique, which the Mystic Moon Trading House recognized. And this Elder Yu Hui directly mentioned the term Thunder Origin.
Quickly turning thoughts in his mind, Jian Yan soon smiled and said, "Elder Yu Hui, your insight is truly broad; you actually recognized Thunder Light Shining."
Upon hearing Jing Yan’s response, Elder Yu Hui and Elder Kuo Lian quickly exchanged glances. Inside their hearts, another wave of shock surged.
Indeed!
It is indeed the Thunder Origin Immortal Technique.
This Jing Yan truly possesses the Immortal Technique inheritance of Thunder Emperor. Being able to grasp such an inheritance is not something an average cultivator can achieve. During the most prosperous times within the Thunder Domain, how many cultivators there could master Thunder Emperor’s Thunder Origin Immortal Technique?
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, if I may ask, what is your relationship with Thunder Emperor?" Elder Kuo Lian discreetly took a breath and then asked while looking at Jing Yan.
Thunder Emperor’s renown dominates the nine days. Even those young cultivators across the Nine Days of Immortal Domain wouldn’t be unaware of Thunder Emperor’s fame, even though he hasn’t appeared for a very long time.
At this moment, Jing Yan’s mind was enlightened. He realized that what the Mystic Moon Trading House feared wasn’t him, but Thunder Emperor.
Having understood this point, Jing Yan truly relaxed.
"Since the elders wish to know, I won’t hide it. Actually, Thunder Emperor is my master." Jing Yan said with a smile.
He was taking advantage of Thunder Emperor’s prestige, despite never having met Thunder Emperor himself, nor could he truly be considered his disciple. Of course, in some respects, Jing Yan could consider Thunder Emperor his mentor, as he obtained the complete Thunder Origin inheritance. Moreover, as long as the conditions regarding the Thunder Attribute Law were met, he could directly employ any of the Immortal Techniques within Thunder Origin.
Elder Kuo Lian and Elder Yu Hui felt a chilling emotion rise in their hearts.
"Fortunately! We didn’t act against Jing Yan for the sake of ensuring safety. Otherwise, we might have invited a great disaster upon the Mystic Moon Trading House." Elder Kuo Lian transmitted to Elder Yu Hui.
"Indeed, fortunately, we were cautious enough. However, is what Jing Yan said completely credible?" Elder Yu Hui transmitted.
