Chapter 751: Chapter 751: The Blow is Not Light

Gu Wanquan and Gu Jinlan in the restaurant were not far from the Splendid Dojo.

Therefore, when the earth-shaking noise erupted from the Splendid Dojo, due to Jing Yan’s battle with Tong Yue, both of them heard it clearly. They immediately understood that Tong Yue had made a move on Jing Yan.

Now that the sounds had completely ceased, the battle was evidently over. They believed it was very likely that Jing Yan had been killed.

They had not considered the possibility of Tong Yue being killed in return.

Just as Gu Jinlan finished speaking, footsteps approached from outside.

In a moment, Gu Xianlun, accompanied by numerous Ancient Family Elders, quickly entered the room. Even then, Gu Xianlun still looked pale, haunted by what he had witnessed at the Splendid Dojo.

Seeing the Ancestor Gu Wanquan, he did not know how to start talking.

"Supreme Elder Xianlun, where is Mr. Tong Yue?" Gu Jinlan looked behind Gu Xianlun, noticing the absence of Tong Yue before Gu Wanquan could say a word.

At this question, Gu Xianlun’s body tensed suddenly, and the Ancient Family Elders all lowered their heads in silence.

They thought to themselves, Mr. Tong Yue, turned into ashes...

"Could it be that Mr. Tong Yue left the Holy City ahead of us?" Gu Wanquan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Ancestor! Mr. Tong Yue, he is dead!" Gu Xianlun finally blurted out.

When Gu Wanquan and Gu Jinlan heard this, one could imagine the expressions on their faces.

"How could this be?" Gu Jinlan exclaimed softly.

"Clan Leader Jin Lan, Mr. Tong Yue was slain by Jing Yan. Jing Yan’s strength is extremely formidable, even greater than Mr. Tong Yue’s," Gu Xianlun gathered his strength to speak.

There was no time for dawdling; he had to immediately convey this message to Ancestor Gu Wanquan. Given that even the Ancestor was in danger in the Holy City, it was uncertain whether Jing Yan, once aware of Ancestor Gu Wanquan’s presence, would come to kill him directly.

And Ancestor Gu Wanquan, likely unable to withstand Jing Yan. If the Ancestor were to die, the Gu Family would stand no chance against Jing Yan.

"Xianlun, you mean to say, Mr. Tong Yue was killed by Jing Yan alone?" Gu Xianlun stood up, his expression turning fierce and terrifying, his voice chillingly low.

"Exactly! Although he used the Big Array to kill Mr. Tong Yue, even in a direct confrontation, Mr. Tong Yue was no match for Jing Yan. At that time, Saint Master Shen Chong wasn’t there," Gu Xianlun nodded.

"This is bad!" Gu Jinlan suddenly cried out, "Ancestor, we must leave the Holy City immediately. Jing Yan probably doesn’t know we are here now, but once he finds out, it will be very dangerous. Saint Master Shen Chong, fearing backlash from other families, can’t directly attack us, but if Jing Yan finds out you’re in the Holy City, he definitely won’t stand idly by!"

Gu Jinlan’s thinking was indeed sharp. Although still in shock, he had already considered this possibility.

"Damn!"

"Damn it!"

"Gui Yang lost to Jing Yan in alchemy, and Tong Yue was also killed by this bastard Jing Yan!"

"This goddamn bastard, why is he so formidable? It’s infuriating that he didn’t die in the Death Abyss back then!" Gu Wanquan felt a surge of anger in his chest, nearly bursting.

However, he also knew that Gu Jinlan was absolutely right; they couldn’t stay here any longer. Jing Yan had not noticed them yet, but any further delay could be catastrophic.

"Let’s go!" Gu Wanquan viciously clenched his teeth and roared.

Gai Family members, dejected, left swiftly. Gu Wanquan left first, while Gu Xianlun led Gu Jinlan and others at the rear.

They indeed were lucky, as Jing Yan genuinely had not expected Gu Wanquan to come to the Holy City. Initially, Jing Yan had paid attention to the members of the Gai family, but at that time, Gu Wanquan and Gu Jinlan had not arrived; they only came later in the final stages.

Splendid Dojo!

Over a hundred thousand Martial Artists gradually dispersed.

Though the crowd dispersed, Jing Yan’s name began to ferment across the continent. Numerous pieces of news, with the Holy City at its center, radiated throughout the entire Heavenly Origin Continent.

Of course, there were also about a thousand people who did not leave the Splendid Dojo. Most of them were Intermediate and High-level Alchemists, with a few pure Martial Artists.

Some people from large family clans, still not having given up on the Longevity Pill, also stayed. They wanted to find Jing Yan and exchange for Longevity Pills.

At this time, Jing Yan, Saint Master Shen Chong, several Hall Masters, and others, were all within a room.

Yan Family Ancestor Yan Chao, Pill Spirit City Lord Hu Donghe, Ghost Hand Grand Pill King Gui Yang were also there.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, has your Martial Arts Realm broken through?" Shen Chong inquired Jing Yan.

Through the descriptions of the Hall Masters earlier, Shen Chong had learned the details and confirmed Jing Yan’s Martial Arts strength. It should be no weaker than his.

But, a few months ago when Jing Yan and Hu Donghe had just arrived at the Holy Palace, Shen Chong believed that Jing Yan did not possess such strong Martial Arts Cultivation at that time. At that time, although Jing Yan’s combat power could definitely match a first-level Dao Emperor Realm Peak, the idea of him killing Tong Yue at that level was utterly fanciful.

Therefore, Shen Chong specifically asked if Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Realm had indeed broken through.

"Indeed, it has broken through. I am now in the Late Stage Dao Emperor Realm," Jing Yan candidly admitted.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, when you just became a Hall Master, you were only in the Early Stage Dao Emperor Realm, right?" Min Huo asked, surprised.

Others also looked at Jing Yan with surprised eyes.

If Jing Yan didn’t use his Primordial Energy, indeed, they couldn’t discern his realm; even back in the Early Stage Dao Emperor Realm, they couldn’t tell. But back then, Jing Yan suppressed Kui Long with a move, his Primordial Energy boiling, and the more formidable Dao Emperor Realm Peak Martial Artists could sense that Jing Yan was likely around the Early Stage Dao Emperor Realm.

"That’s right, at that time, I was only in the Early Stage Dao Emperor Realm," Jing Yan nodded with a smile.

"This..."

"That’s outrageous!"

"To break through two realms in such a short time? How many months has it been?"

"How do I feel like I’m dreaming?"

The Hall Masters all felt like they wanted to die by smashing their heads on tofu. When they were in the Dao Emperor Realm, they typically needed a hundred or even several hundred years to break through a minor realm. Yet Jing Yan had broken through two realms in a matter of months.

This blow, indeed, was not light, considering they were among the most talented Martial Artists on the Continent.

"No wonder Hall Master Jing Yan could kill Tong Yue. Hall Master Jing Yan, in the Early Stage Dao Emperor Realm, was comparable to a first-level Dao Emperor Realm Peak Martial Artist. Now being in the Late Stage, then on the entire Heavenly Origin Continent..." Ghost Hand Gui Yang paused here.

What he meant to say was that Jing Yan on Heavenly Origin Continent, in terms of Martial Arts, probably has no rivals. But, considering that the Saint Master was here, he did not continue, to spare Saint Master Shen Chong any embarrassment.

Shen Chong, however, didn’t mind; he smiled and said, "Ghost Hand Grand Pill King’s words are not off at all. Even for me, in a direct fight, I could at most equal Jing Yan, definitely gaining no advantage."
