toward his own little yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his way back, he spent the whole time thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As nice as the Patriarch had been to him today, Jing Yan didn’t feel relaxed or relieved at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan detected hostility from the First Elder, Jing Chunyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the First Elder wouldn’t do anything to Jing Yan directly, but Jing Yan had to be prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone like the First Elder simply indicated his dissatisfaction with Jing Yan, a bunch of people would go against Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Jing Clan, there were tons of people who would take any chance they could to kiss the First Elder’s *ss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he wielded tremendous power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that his son was the manager of the Jing Clan’s treasury vault, which meant, to a great degree, that he was in charge of allocating the Jing Clan’s sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that Grandpa isn’t with me anymore, I can only rely on myself.” “As long as I regain my Precelestial rank, the First Elder won’t be able to put any more pressure on me.” “At the end of the day, my strength will decide everything!” “Now, I have to hurry up!” Jing Yan furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was well aware of the difficulties he would face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a family like the Jing Clan, it was difficult to focus on one’s cultivation in peace to improve one’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might be different if a warrior didn’t have much potential, because not many people would pay attention to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The less attention he got, the less jealousy he might induce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, if a warrior did well in martial arts but couldn’t become overwhelmingly stronger than those who were jealous of him, troubles would find their way to his door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when Jing Yan’s grandfather, the old Patriarch, was alive, quite a few people had attempted to provoke Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, people’s attempts to mess with him would only be worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to be left alone, he had to be so intimidatingly strong that those jerks wouldn’t dare to interfere with his business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan!” When Jing Yan reached the gate of his little yard, he saw Jing Chuanling standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chuanling, what’s up?” Jing Yan asked, meeting the other man’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could tell that Jing Chuanling wasn’t planning to pay him a pleasant visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Jing Chuanling had even called Jing Yan by his name—he wasn’t even bothering to keep up the appearance of politeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan, I’m not here for small talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m simply asking, do you dare to accept my challenge for a fight?” Jing Chuanling said in an aggressive tone, eyes blazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Jing Chuanling still felt a sense of inferiority in front of Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Jing Yan’s heyday, Jing Chuanling used to follow Jing Yan around, although he never really wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would support Jing Yan and listen to him no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As respectful as he used to act in front of Jing Yan, deep down in his heart, he had cursed Jing Yan so many times that he had lost count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jing Yan’s rank started falling, Jing Chuanling thought it was an opportunity to finally get rid of Jing Yan’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he wanted to stand on top of Jing Yan and stomp on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had waited too long for this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, everything was going well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Chuanling’s status in the Jing Clan was slowly on the rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, out of nowhere, Jing Yan was showing signs that he was preparing to climb back to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, he had already heard many voices accusing him of being ungrateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jing Yan never had a chance of coming back up, all this would never have happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it was all Jing Yan’s fault!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why among all the Jing Clan members, Jing Yan was the last person Jing Chuanling wanted to grow strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, he came to see Jing Yan today to challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way he saw it, as long as he defeated Jing Yan in front of other Jing Clan members, it would prove that he was better than Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t have time for that,” Jing Yan said, suppressing his urge to roll his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was well aware of Jing Chuanling’s plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think you can trample me underfoot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You?” Jing Yan thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave Jing Chuanling a scornful glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Jing Yan still wasn’t sure if he could beat Jing Chuanling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Chuanling was at the Eighth Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the disciples in the younger generation, Jing Chuanling was considered one of the top performers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wasn’t 100 percent sure, Jing Yan wouldn’t take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he reached the Seventh Heaven, Jing Chuanling would be as weak as a kitten by comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, beating someone like Jing Chuanling would be sickeningly easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might as well wait until his rank went up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan, are you too much of a coward to take the challenge?” Jing Chuanling’s face contorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked like he was about to lose it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chuanling, if you don’t have anything else that I can help you with, please go home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, right, I have a word for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to be my opponent, you have a long way to go,” Jing Yan waved his hand breezily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…” Jing Chuanling gritted his teeth in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to leave like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t do anything about it if Jing Yan didn’t want to fight him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F*ck!” Watching Jing Yan enter the little yard, Jing Chuanling stomped furiously on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expression of cold hatred in his eyes didn’t start to fade away until he saw Jing Yan enter his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half a zodiac hour later, two Jing Clan guards arrived and took up positions outside of Jing Yan’s little yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two guards were sent by the Fourth Elder, Jing Tianying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their responsibility was to make sure that no random people showed up to interfere with Jing Yan’s cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room, Jing Yan sat down cross-legged on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s about time to get ready for the breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once I do, I will be at the Seven Heaven and become a High-ranking warrior.” “With the help of the Soul Crystal, I shouldn’t have any problem breaking through.” Jing Yan’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soul Crystal he got from killing the Shadow Gale Wolf in the Blackrock Mountains was a tremendous boon for Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using only a small piece of the Soul Crystal had taken Jing Yan from the Fourth Heaven to the Fifth Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest should be enough to help him break through from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that?” Suddenly, noises came from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“B*stards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare you try to stop us?” someone yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out of the way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you still won’t let us in, I will find a way to kick your *sses out this place for good!” a high-pitched voice screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded extraordinarily aggressive and arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something flashed through Jing Yan’s eyes the second he heard the voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He certainly recognized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Jing Yuqin, who would act so outrageously arrogant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if someone ordinary had come to see Jing Yan, they would undoubtedly have left as soon as they saw the guards sent by the Fourth Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only extremely well-connected people like Jing Yuqin would treat the guards sent by the Fourth Elder like they were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That d*mn woman!” As much as Jing Yan was unwilling to see her, if he didn’t go to meet her, she would never go away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her making this much noise, he wouldn’t be able to concentrate on his cultivation anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, if he really didn’t show up, someone like Jing Yuqin might actually come in by force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a hag!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan pulled the door open and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Jing Yan knitted his eyebrows tightly when he saw the people outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people were standing outside the yard, yelling at the two guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading person was the one that Jing Yan furrowed his brows at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person, wearing a long white gown, was standing with his hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each breath he took was long and deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something intimidating glistened in his triangular eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tianlong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the First Elder’s grandson, and he was a mighty warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jing Yan’s rank dropped, he had unquestionably been the most talented Jing Clan member in the last decade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jing Tianlong had been considered the No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1 warrior the decade before that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tianlong was about ten years older than Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been a genius of the Jing Clan, and the family’s senior members had held high expectations for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t disappoint them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he was 24 years old, Jing Tianlong had become a Precelestial warrior and was enrolled in one of the three major institutes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1525,"2026-06-03T10:25:51.540Z",1,"novelbin.me","419b4468941e7792d69ae22e1d0f1ace9179ffc844a91976649f92f963b43caa","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-33","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-31",2108,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sword-god-of-the-universe-cover.jpg"]
