The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 135: First Entry into Duyang City

About thirty minutes later, Liu Daquan finished a rough inventory of the resources in the Mayor Mansion’s Treasure Vault, and took out both the available Spirit Stones and the Spirit Stone Gold Card to hand over to Jing Yan.

"Young Master Jing Yan... should we... should we run away now? Where should we go? Should we go to Donglin City?" Liu Daquan’s heart was in turmoil.

"But... but what about my daughter Xiao Yue? She’s still in the hands of the Wei Family." What Liu Daquan cared about most was his daughter, Liu Xiaoyue.

Seeing the listless state Liu Daquan was in, Jing Yan helplessly waved his hand and spoke, "Family Head Liu, you need not worry. I will depart for Duyang City right now to bring your daughter Liu Xiaoyue back. Rest assured, so long as Liu Xiaoyue is still alive, I will definitely rescue her."

Jing Yan had no idea if Liu Xiaoyue was still alive.

However, so long as Liu Xiaoyue was alive, he was certain he would rescue her from the Wei Family.

If, unfortunately, Liu Xiaoyue had died!

Then...

A coldness flashed through Jing Yan’s heart!

He would definitely, make the Wei Family pay a bloody price, making them know that for killing a Liu Xiaoyue, their entire family would be buried with her.

"What?"

"You’re going to the Wei Family in Duyang City?" Liu Daquan was stunned, exclaiming in surprise, "Young Master Jing Yan, don’t go, please do not go to Duyang City."

Although Liu Daquan wanted to rescue his daughter, he knew that if Jing Yan really went to the Wei Family, it would surely be a suicide mission. Let alone saving Liu Xiaoyue, even Jing Yan’s own life would not be safe.

"Young Master Jing Yan, if... if you really want to save Xiao Yue, it would be better to return to the Jing Family and ask the Fourth Elder to intervene and negotiate with the Wei Family..." Liu Daquan gritted his teeth.

He knew how excessive his request was, but it was probably the only hope for rescuing his daughter.

"Family Head Liu, you needn’t say any more. You, stay here in Black Wind Town, and wait for my news. Take care of the resources from the Mayor Mansion’s vault," Jing Yan shook his head.

As for the thoughts in Liu Daquan’s mind, Jing Yan of course knew them.

But Jing Yan also understood that even if he asked the Jing Family to get involved, they might not necessarily be able to rescue Liu Xiaoyue. If the Jing Family was a major family in Duyang City, then it would be feasible. However, the Jing Family was a power from Donglin City, with no prestige at all in Duyang City. The Wei Family would not fear the Jing Family.

Even if the Wei Family was eventually willing to step back, they would surely demand an exorbitant price from the Jing Family, a price that was unimaginable. At that time, the Jing Family might be unwilling to pay a huge price for Liu Xiaoyue’s sake.

Moreover, Liu Xiaoyue, if she was still alive, must be having a hard time in the Wei Family. The longer Liu Xiaoyue stayed in the Wei Family, the more danger she was in. Jing Yan, had to rush to the Wei Family as quickly as possible to rescue Liu Xiaoyue from their hands.

"Swoosh!"

After saying these words to Liu Daquan, Jing Yan vanished from the Mayor Mansion and sped towards the direction of Duyang City.

Liu Daquan stared blankly at the spot where Jing Yan had disappeared from his sight, letting out a long sigh.

How could things have turned out this way?

Several days later, Jing Yan’s green figure appeared outside the city gates of Duyang City.

"Wei Family, I have arrived!" Jing Yan stood outside the city gate, pausing momentarily before lifting his foot and stepping into Duyang City.

Duyang City, by the looks of it, seemed larger than Donglin City. The permanent population here must also be considerably larger than that of Donglin City.

Jing Yan hurried along the streets while Martial Artists continuously moved around him.

He felt that although Duyang City had a larger population, the overall Cultivation of the Martial Artists seemed to be weaker than those in Donglin City.

Indeed, Donglin City was backed by the Black Stone Mountain Range. Many Martial Artists active in Donglin City were there because they wanted to enter the Black Stone Mountain Range from other places, which was different from Duyang City.

Inside the territory of Duyang City was the Moonlight Forest, but Moon Lake Forest was a considerable distance away from the downtown area of Duyang City. To enter Moonlight Forest, one did not need to go through the downtown area.

"Excuse me, which way is the Wei Family?"

Jing Yan randomly picked a Martial Artist in his forties or fifties on the street and asked.

The Wei Family was considered a prominent family within Duyang City, so any local Martial Artist should know the location of the Wei Family Mansion.

"The Wei Family?" The Martial Artist glanced at Jing Yan, his brow creased, "Are you from outside the area? You don’t even know where the Wei Family is?"

"I am indeed from outside, it’s my first time in Duyang City," Jing Yan nodded in confirmation.

"Heh, so what are you going to the Wei Family for? Don’t tell me, you’re a relative of the Wei Family, or are you looking to join them?" the middle-aged Martial Artist chattered away.

Jing Yan’s brow furrowed.

"I have something to discuss with the Wei Family Patriarch!" Jing Yan didn’t want to say too much, but since he was asking for help, he still patiently replied.

The Martial Artist, hearing Jing Yan’s words, was momentarily startled, and then burst into laughter.

"You have something to discuss with the Wei Family Patriarch?"

Such arrogance from this young Martial Artist!

"Young man, the Wei Family Patriarch is not someone just anyone can meet. But, you are in luck. The Wei Family is currently holding a grand family competition, with the Wei Family Patriarch and many other senior figures likely on their Martial Arts Arena. Looking to meet the Wei Family Patriarch, now that’s a good opportunity." The middle-aged Martial Artist was obviously finding Jing Yan too arrogant and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

Although the Wei Family was not the topmost powerful family in Duyang City, they were still a formidable second-tier force.

Indeed, someone of the Wei Family Patriarch’s status was not someone easy to meet.

However, although the middle-aged Martial Artist thought Jing Yan was presumptuous, he still gave directions to the Wei Family Mansion.

"Thank you!" Jing Yan expressed his gratitude, then with a flash, darted off swiftly.

The middle-aged Martial Artist blinked, his mouth agape, and involuntarily stood there dumbfounded for a moment.

Where did he go?

How did the man vanish so suddenly?

"Old Zhao, what are you daydreaming about?"

Just then, another Black-clothed Martial Artist walked out from a neighboring shop, calling out to the middle-aged Martial Artist, Old Zhao.

"Ah... I... Old Wang, did you see a young Martial Artist in green clothes?" Old Zhao frowned, turning to the Martial Artist who had spoken to him.

"A young Martial Artist?" Old Wang was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, he was just here a moment ago. He even asked for directions to the Wei Family Mansion, saying he wanted to meet the Wei Family Patriarch," Old Zhao furrowed his brows, looking around, but where could he find a trace of Jing Yan?

"Old Zhao, are you seeing things? It only took me a few breaths to enter that shop. A young Martial Artist in green clothes? And he wants to meet the Wei Family Patriarch? Ha ha, are you talking in your sleep?" Old Wang clearly did not believe Old Zhao’s words, laughed out loud, and shook his head.

Old Zhao, however, fell silent. Hallucinations? Talking in his sleep? How could that be possible?
