Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Capítulo 1420: Chapter 159: Another Pilgrimage

At Zhou Yan’s brow, a majestic and terrifying Thunder Seal manifested.

However, this seal leapt, releasing much of its Origin Energy, which poured evenly into the brows of all the elf spirits around.

At this moment, all eternal beings within the Elf Domain, including Yamina, Yalis, Feng Zishuang, Ping’er, etc., experienced a significant ascension in their Realm.

For some of those with lower realms, a cracking sound emanated from their brows, followed by the continuous magnificent transformation of their Eternal Spirits.

This scene utterly stunned the eyes of all beings present.

“Hmm? Interesting, so the previous Thunder Seal was indeed yours. But is it you, or the Emperor Lei Yan behind you?”

The Green Bull King of the Xue Ling Domain, Yin Tianshu, stared at Zhou Yan, his voice cold and merciless.

It seemed that Zhou Yan’s methods of slaughter did not truly concern him.

At this moment, Zhou Yan remained silent, while an Eternal Spirit, using the body of the Mantis One Autumn, suddenly derived from the Thunder Flame Seal at Zhou Yan’s brow.

Soon after, the Thunder Flame Yuan Ci Sword appeared in the Eternal Spirit’s hand.

Upon its emergence, the Eternal Spirit did not take its form, nor that of the Mantis Woman One Autumn, but instead appeared as —— the image of Emperor Lei Yan.

He was someone with a somewhat similar appearance to Zhou Yan, but exceptionally cold, ruthless, and divinely imposing.

Standing a full two and a half meters tall, Zhou Yan seemed diminutive before him.

Upon his appearance, he raised his hand into the void, and then, the Thunder Flame Yuan Ci Sword released a faint Primordial Magnetic Power.

The Hong Jun Sword, at this moment, secretly emitted a strand of Hongmeng Power, causing that touch of Primordial Magnetic Power to instantly drain all of Yin Tianshu’s strength.

The Evil Spirit within him broke out instantly.

The Purple Flame Thunder Power then engulfed Yin Tianshu’s Evil Spirit, crushing it directly.

“Boom——”

Yin Tianshu’s entire body nearly shattered in an instant, on the brink of destruction.

However, the Emperor Lei Yan derived by Zhou Yan retracted his crushing, and with a single breath blew.

Yin Tianshu fully returned to his original state.

This was both a warning and a true deterrent.

“Tell the Lord of Sin that certain matters are better handled according to the rules.”

“Now, you may kneel before me, and then, return to report.”

The Thunder Flame Supreme said coldly.

That voice shook the heavens and the earth.

At that moment, besides Zhou Yan, even those like Yamina could not help but tremble all over, immediately preparing to kneel.

This time, Zhou Yan did not stop them, allowing them to kneel in respect for the Sovereign ruler.

This time, after Yamina and others knelt, the rest, such as the representatives from the Heavenly Extreme Domain, other beings from the Ten Thousand Tree Domain, Sky Saber Mantis Domain, as well as the Blood Fire Domain, Sky Wing Domain, Soul Tablet Domain, and Blood Witch Domain, all knelt with utmost reverence, with not a hint of disrespect.

The phantom of the Thunder Flame Monarch flickered briefly, then disappeared from Zhou Yan’s brow.

Zhou Yan, however, remained standing, showing no signs of abnormality.

He appeared merely coldly observing the scene, indifferent to everything.

After the departure of Emperor Lei Yan, the scene fell into a dead silence.

“This recent reverence lacked sincerity. In three days, the reverence will begin anew. By then, I hope for an explanation.”

“Additionally, anyone who spoke insults against the elf people prior, step forward, sever your Eternal Spirit’s limbs until it withers, to spare your life.”

“Otherwise, I will use the Heavenly Punishment in place of the Master of Rules to sanction your domains.”

Zhou Yan spoke calmly and softly.

But everyone truly sensed an incredibly chilling feeling, their bodies already cold.

However, no being dared to defy, thus they gradually stepped forward, kneeling before Zhou Yan, then began to sever their own Eternal Spirit.

This process was without reluctance, but rather decisively done.

Each eternal being was no fool, compared to the future of their racial domain, the once withering of one’s Eternal Spirit, although extremely tragic, ultimately held the chance for recovery.

However, the rise of the Elf Domain was now unstoppable, so offending them was no longer a rational act.

Moreover, the Lord of Thunder Punishment, this ruler, would never speak of rules or morality since he himself was the embodiment of rules and morality.

So, if one did not adhere to the rules, then the Lord of Thunder Punishment would surely act unbound by them.

The Lord of Thunder Punishment was ruthless but extremely self-driven, so his protective nature was equally renowned.

Precisely because of this, even if merely a thread of the Lord of Thunder Punishment’s will had manifested, no being could dismiss it.

Thus, the words from Zhou Yan were effectively a transmission of the Lord of Thunder Punishment’s intent.

In this way, the situation quickly and smoothly calmed.

Those beings who initially came with ulterior motives could only depart with a sense of shiver.

Particularly the beings from the Sky Saber Mantis Domain, who felt an overwhelming chill, filled with an impending sense of unknown fear.

As Zhou Yan released them, these beings immediately bowed and retreated, their attitude unbelievably good.

Zhou Yan didn’t bother with them; these Eternal Life Beings, in his eyes, were indeed quite cheap.

Treating them kindly would only make them overstep, disrespectful, and think the Elves of the Elf Domain were easy to bully.

But treating them like servants, severely punishing and oppressing them would make them exceedingly respectful.

Zhou Yan watched these beings leave coldly, without a hint of kindness.

Many of those beings still maintained obsequious smiles.

Even Yin Tianshu, who had been suppressed by Zhou Yan, was very respectful at this time, without any bitterness.

Among them, the people from Ziwei Sect and the Ancient Fu Xi Clan were a different scene.

Because they were rather close with the Elf Domain, although the three showed respect, it seemed they were enjoying the spectacle of those beings’ embarrassment, showing a look of delight.

Among them, Lin Xuefei’s reaction was naturally the most direct.

Jiang Hongyi was also quite apparent.

Qian Luoshui, as usual.

If Zhou Yan hadn’t integrated the Demon Heart Sword Body before, it would have been quite awkward to meet Qian Luoshui.

But now, he really didn’t feel any embarrassment.

When all the beings had left, and only Jiang Hongyi’s trio and the Elves from the Elf Domain remained, Zhou Yan finally said, “Alright, Ning’er, you lead everyone to the Life Ancient Tree for some Enlightenment Cultivation, then prepare again for the worship three days later, this time we should show some enthusiasm.”

Zhou Yan instructed.

This time, his tone wasn’t cold at all, but instead very gentle, akin to speaking to a lover.

In the distance, Lin Xuefei widened her eyes, looking at Zhou Yan in shock and admiration, clearly feeling that Zhou Yan’s charm was simply too great.

As for Jiang Hongyi, her pretty face twitched for a moment, before pursing her lips in dissatisfaction, unhappy with Zhou Yan’s romantic tactics with the Elf Queen.

“Bah, lecherous scoundrel!”

Qian Luoshui gritted her teeth, seeing Zhou Yan talking so intimately with the Elf Queen Yamina, even calling her ‘Ning’er’, she felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

For a moment, Qian Luoshui even had the urge to strangle Zhou Yan.

“Calm down, why care about this rogue? With his personality, isn’t such flirtation quite normal? Your heart, Qian Luoshui, exists only to become stronger!”

Qian Luoshui advised herself, and soon, her spirit indeed settled down.

However, her expression naturally grew a few degrees colder.

In such a situation, Qian Luoshui herself didn’t realize much, but Jiang Hongyi and Zhou Yan, and even Jiang Yuning, all sensed it.

She wasn’t actually foolish; from the moment Zhou Yan left seven days ago, when the three rushed over hastily and then continuously cared for Zhou Yan’s safety, she had already inferred something.

Moreover, although she couldn’t fully understand Qian Luoshui, Jiang Yuning, having been through similar things, knew quite a lot. She was well aware that possibly the world’s number one extraordinary woman, Qian Luoshui, might have had some interactions with Zhou Yan, and although Lin Xuefei hadn’t yet, she was close.

That’s why Jiang Yuning’s heart was particularly clear.

At this moment, seeing Qian Luoshui like this, she couldn’t help but smile.

With a gentle look at Zhou Yan, she hinted with her eyes, indicating some unstable elements were appearing behind Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan laughed heartily, not minding at all, and after arranging a few things, many Elves also left under Jiang Yuning’s arrangement.

Then Zhou Yan smiled and said, “Dear Luoshui, what is it? Are you worried about me almost falling into a desolate land?”

Zhou Yan teasingly used Breathing Control.

Flirting with Qian Luoshui was indeed a type of happiness.

Now, as just Zhou Yan, he naturally wouldn’t let this slip by.

Lin Xuefei looked at Qian Luoshui in amazement.

As for Jiang Hongyi, her pretty face inevitably twitched again.

“What nonsense are you talking? If you don’t believe me, I’ll rip your mouth! Who’s worried about you, you’re just being self-indulgent!”

“If not for your obtaining the Thunder Lord’s inheritance, I would’ve definitely suppressed you in the Beast Clan’s million-year-old dung pit!”

Qian Luoshui angrily said.

“Alright, dear Luoshui, don’t say such insincere words, or it’ll make me sad.”

Zhou Yan said with even more tenderness.

“You deserve to be sad. I’m only happy when you’re troubled!”

Qian Luoshui coldly said.

She didn’t look at Zhou Yan, seemingly a bit afraid to face his intensely bright, star-like eyes.

“As long as you’re happy, I don’t mind being sad or sorrowful. As long as you’re joyful, I feel everything I’ve given is worth it.”

Zhou Yan seriously said.

Qian Luoshui’s brows furrowed coldly, “Save your sweet words for others. In this Elf Secret Realm, there are many women. Earlier, that Long Xianyin, Qian Xi, seemed eager to throw herself at you. Just say the word, and I guarantee you’ll have her at your fingertips.”

Qian Luoshui taunted.
