The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2134: Apologizing in Person

Zu Ming was indeed filled with regret.

This battle not only resulted in heavy casualties of Nether Sky Realm and All Things Realm cultivators around him, but also cost him over two billion Black Crystal Stones.

Such losses would take an unknown amount of time to recover for Primordial Energy.

His gut churned with regret, but it was useless; everything was too late.

Radiant City, the residence of Lord Chunyu Qing.

Chunyu Qing was engaging in rather intense discussions with several trusted guests.

"Lord Building Owner, I believe if we are to apologize, it should be done soon. If possible, you should go personally to Divine Martial City." A guest said, with a solemn expression and a deep voice.

"If we wait until Jing Yan comes knocking, it could be even harder to handle. Lord Building Owner, we were in the wrong!" the guest continued.

"Who could have foreseen this! Who could have foreseen it!" Chunyu Qing also regretted deeply.

If he had known, he should have resisted Ji Bian’s pressure from the start.

But who could have foreseen things would evolve to this stage? Originally, he thought that when the Zu Family Territory declared war on Ying Family Territory, the war would end quickly and result in the annihilation of the Ying Family Territory. With the Ying Family Territory annihilated, outsiders may not even know it was the Chunyu Family that leaked the information about the auction of the Immortal Rhythm Treasure.

Who would have thought that Zu Ming brought a group of people, including Ji Bian, an Immortal Rhythmic Strong Person to help, and they all returned defeated? That Jing Yan was absurdly strong.

"Prepare ten billion Black Crystal Stones; I will personally go to apologize!" Chunyu Qing seemed to have made a decision.

"Father, do we really need to apologize in person? That Jing Yan is indeed strong, even Ji Bian was suppressed by him. But if he comes to Radiant City, we have the city’s formation defense, so we might not fear him, right?" Chunyu Bo said: "Besides, if Father goes to Divine Martial City without the aid of the city’s formation, what if Jing Yan..."

Chunyu Bo did not continue.

But everyone present knew what Chunyu Bo wanted to say.

"We must go! That Jing Yan is not just an ordinary cultivator. His strength is too powerful; even though he just entered the Nether Sky Realm, his strength is already overwhelming. He might not take long to further elevate his realm, and by that time, even Radiant City’s formation won’t be able to stop him. By then, everything will be too late, and even if we seek help from Lord Heavenly Monarch, we are unlikely to receive assistance."

"As for my safety when going to Divine Martial City, it should not be a major problem; didn’t Zu Ming survive?" Chunyu Qing paused before speaking again.

"Prepare then! Later, I will head to Divine Martial City. I hope... everything will go smoothly." Chunyu Qing’s voice was much lower.

Ten billion Black Crystal Stones!

The Chunyu Family Territory, although one of the strongest territories in the Blue Rain Divine Continent, would still be hurt from shelling out ten billion Black Crystal Stones at once. The Chunyu Family is not as wealthy as the Zu Family. But these Black Crystal Stones must be paid; offering too few might not quell Jing Yan’s wrath toward the Chunyu Family.

Chunyu Bo and the others stopped talking. They also had no better way to solve this problem; currently, the safest course seems to be apologizing in person and expending these enormous resources.

Apologizing in Divine Martial City was definitely a humiliating affair. Divine Martial City! Just a third-rate Lord Family!

But thankfully, the Zu Family Territory had already taken the fall first, even if the Chunyu Family apologized at Divine Martial City, it shouldn’t invoke ridicule. The Zu Family, a first-rate Lord Family, didn’t they also kneel before a third-rate Lord Family like the Ying Family?

Thinking about it, perhaps apologizing wasn’t that difficult to accept.

Ten billion Black Crystal Stones are indeed a staggering number for the Chunyu Family, but by selling some idle resources, it should be possible to gather them in one to two days!

...

Mystic Moon Trading House, Blue Rain Divine Continent Headquarters!

Mystic Moon Trading House is an immensely large business institution, and their trade isn’t limited just to the Blue Rain Divine Continent. Mystic Moon Trading House sprawls over vast areas. The Blue Rain Divine Continent headquarters is just a branch of the Mystic Moon Trading House.

At this moment, within the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters, several high-ranking individuals were gathered together. The subject of their discussion was the recent battle that occurred in Divine Martial City.

"Quite intriguing!"

"I thought the Ying Family Territory would be annihilated, but the result turned out differently!"

"Has the background of Jing Yan been investigated?" The person in charge of Mystic Moon Trading House in Blue Rain Divine Continent asked, their slightly husky voice echoing in the room.

"Lord Building Owner, Jing Yan’s origins seem extremely mysterious. Even with our Mystic Moon Trading House’s powers, we have yet to uncover it. He seems to have appeared out of nowhere in Divine Martial City," someone said.

"Continue investigating! This person certainly harbors great secrets. He possesses Virtualization Treasures, Divine Soul Attack Techniques, and Virtualization Techniques. These items shouldn’t be present on a mere Nether Sky Realm cultivator. There must be more about him that we’re unaware of," the Lord ordered.

"Yes!" Someone responded.

"Deliver orders for the Mystic Moon Trading House representative in Divine Martial City to prepare a gift for the Ying Family to meet this Jing Yan. Since his identity remains unclear for now, let’s establish contact and see. Simultaneously, probe further; see if he could be of use to us at Mystic Moon Trading House. If he’s willing, compensation is negotiable," the Lord continued ordering.

This Blue Rain Divine Continent Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters Director evidently had intentions of recruiting Jing Yan.

In fact, it wasn’t only the Mystic Moon Trading House Blue Rain Divine Continent Headquarters that wished to recruit Jing Yan. Within several formidable powers of Blue Rain Divine Continent, numerous similar discussions were occurring.

If Jing Yan could be recruited, even at considerable expense, it would be worthwhile.

It can be imagined that, in the coming period, Jing Yan might encounter many people from great powers.

...

Divine Martial City was steadily recovering; various places destroyed were being swiftly rebuilt.

Jing Yan continued temporarily residing at Seventh Young Master Ying Zuo’s residence.

Two days after Divine Martial City’s battle concluded, Jing Yan met Chunyu Qing from Radiant City. Arriving at Divine Martial City, Chunyu Qing did not dare to directly seek Jing Yan but first met Lord Ying Zhu.

Lord Ying Zhu knew that the Chunyu Family leaked the information, but facing a figure like Chunyu Qing, he dared not show displeasure. In the end, the Ying Family was too weak, everything relying on Jing Yan.

"Mr. Jing Yan, Lord Chunyu Qing is at my father’s residence, pleading to meet you," Ying Zuo said respectfully upon approaching Jing Yan.

Though Jing Yan told him to call him Brother Jing Yan, Ying Zuo truly couldn’t utter those words.

"Heh, he isn’t totally stupid! If he didn’t come, I surely would have gone to Radiant City to find him," Jing Yan squinted his eyes, his mouth slightly curved upward.

"Then let’s go meet Chunyu Qing," Jing Yan said as he stood up.
