Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: Let’s Go Together!

Upon hearing Cao Lin’s voice, Bian Jin raised his eyes to look.

Cao Lin shook his head at Bian Jin.

This battle, continuing it any longer would be meaningless. Meng He is a Six-star Void God and also possesses a Divine Skill; Bian Jin could not possibly defeat Meng He.

Bian Jin sighed helplessly, sheathed the long knife in his hand, and returned to the crowd of the Qingmu Department.

"Let’s disperse!" Cao Lin waved his arm and said.

The disciples from the Water Moon Department came to block the gate in challenge; as the Chief, Cao Lin shouldn’t intervene, as their statuses are different. But Cao Lin had no choice but to step in when even Qingmu Department’s strongest, Bian Jin, was defeated. Originally, Cao Lin held some hope for Bian Jin. But now, that last hope was shattered.

Cao Lin hadn’t dismissed the possibility of Jing Yan, but while Jing Yan’s strength is indeed formidable, being at the Five-star Void God level, how could he compare to Meng He, who has already entered the Six-star Void God level?

Sending Jing Yan to fight would only be self-humiliating.

"Chief Cao Lin, are you saying... the Qingmu Department admits defeat, right?" Meng He turned his eyes, smiled at Cao Lin, and said.

Instantly, anger surfaced on Cao Lin’s face.

Numerous members of the Qingmu Department glared in rage.

Meng He and his group were simply too domineering.

"This matter isn’t over. Jing Yan, the matter between us isn’t settled. After Senior Brother Meng He’s match is over, it’s now our turn for a duel," Jin Guang chimed in, his eyes fixed squarely on Jing Yan.

He would not rest until he fought Jing Yan.

"Jing Yan, didn’t you just say something yourself? Would you forget so soon? If you don’t fight, it’s not impossible; just admit in front of everyone that you aren’t as good as me, Jin Guang," Jin Guang continued to provoke.

"Clowns, truly ridiculous!" Jing Yan sneered lightly.

"What did you say?" Jin Guang’s breath froze.

"I said, you all are just a bunch of clowns," this time, Jing Yan’s voice grew louder, echoing throughout the space around.

Everyone’s expressions drastically changed.

Jing Yan’s words were not merely aimed at Jin Guang alone, but at the entire Second Palace Water Moon Department; he said ’you all,’ clearly not referring to just Jin Guang.

"Young and ignorant, truly not knowing the heights of the heavens. You think being a member of the Qingmu Department shields you from our wrath?" Meng He’s cold voice echoed.

"Bring me harm?" Jing Yan laughed.

Laughing, he stepped forward.

"Hahaha... So this is Jing Yan?" At this moment, a voice of laughter rang out.

As they looked toward the source of the voice, an old man in white appeared before everyone’s eyes. The Chief of the Second Palace Water Moon Department, Guan Zhuo!

Guan Zhuo had actually arrived here.

"Indeed somewhat extraordinary! An average martial artist wouldn’t have such a bold tone. Hmm, geniuses always have some personality!" Guan Zhuo continued.

"Chief Guan Zhuo!" Cao Lin made a slight bow toward him.

"Haha, Chief Cao Lin!" Guan Zhuo also returned the courtesy and continued, "Chief Cao Lin, it’s just a friendly martial contest between disciples from both departments. Why did you personally come out to stop it?"

Anyone could hear the sarcasm in Guan Zhuo’s tone.

Cao Lin’s face flushed slightly, as Guan Zhuo’s words were indeed difficult to refute. Firstly, the Water Moon Department people didn’t forcefully attack the Qingmu Department members. Even when there was a fight, it was voluntary from both sides. Secondly, so far, although some members of the Qingmu Department were injured, none had lost their lives.

Because of this, Cao Lin truly didn’t have a good comeback to Guan Zhuo’s words.

"Chief Guan Zhuo has come as well?" Jing Yan said with a smile.

"Hmm?" Guan Zhuo’s eyes slightly narrowed as they swept over Jing Yan, cold and piercing.

However, Jing Yan didn’t care. Guan Zhuo was naturally powerful, and Jing Yan knew he was no match for him, but in this situation, Guan Zhuo, the Chief, clearly wouldn’t make a move against members of the Qingmu Department.

"I did come, but I have no intention of interfering in the disciples’ sparring. I’m just passing by to see the show," Guan Zhuo laughed again.

"Since Chief Guan Zhuo can come to watch the show, why couldn’t Chief Cao Lin?" Isn’t it much more convenient for Chief Cao Lin to watch this spectacle happening outside the Qingmu Department?" Jing Yan smiled and squinted his eyes slightly.

Guan Zhuo instantly felt a tightness in his chest, took a deep breath fiercely.

"Chief Cao Lin, it seems I misunderstood you. From Jing Yan’s words, you’re not stopping the disciples from sparring," Guan Zhuo was scheming and seized the opportunity from Jing Yan’s words, directly blocking Cao Lin’s attempt to stop the duel between both departments’ disciples.

Cao Lin frowned and glanced at Jing Yan.

"Jing Yan..." Cao Lin was unsure of Jing Yan’s intentions.

"Chief Cao Lin, if the disciples from the Water Moon Department are so eager to spar with ours from the Qingmu Department, then we’ll oblige," Jing Yan smiled at Cao Lin.

Cao Lin smiled bitterly.

Oblige? How to oblige? Bian Jin was already defeated; continuing would only bring more sorrow.

"Damn, those old guys actually came too!" Cao Lin’s gaze shifted to see more people joining the outskirts. These people were clearly the Chiefs from various departments.

Many Chiefs had arrived, dozens in all. These old fellows were clearly here to watch the spectacle.

"Chief Cao Lin, don’t worry. Let me play a little with these Water Moon Department clowns," Jing Yan continued to step forward.

Across from him, when Jin Guang saw Jing Yan step out, he cracked a sinister smile, then quickly joined.

"Jin Guang, are you confident?" Guan Zhuo asked Jin Guang in a low voice.

Jing Yan’s reputation was indeed significant. Defeating Kuo Shen with three swords during the selection assessment had Guan Zhuo worried that Jin Guang might not be able to defeat Jing Yan. With so many watching, especially the Chiefs, Guan Zhuo didn’t want the Water Moon Department to lose any match.

"I will trample this kid!" Jin Guang was quite confident.

Proud people always have a blind confidence in themselves. Even though Jing Yan defeated Kuo Shen with three swords, Jin Guang did not believe Jing Yan could compare to him.

"Jin Guang, you’re far from enough!" Jing Yan shook his head, "I don’t have time to play with you one by one. How about this, you three come at me together."

Jing Yan pointed at Jin Guang and then towards the two behind him, including Meng He.

"Hmm?"

"What?"

"Has this Jing Yan gone mad?"

"He’s actually challenging three people at once?"

When Jing Yan uttered these words, it naturally caused a wave of shock. Many felt Jing Yan was too arrogant. Meng He had just demonstrated, and it was evident to all. That was indeed a genuine Six-star Void God realm!

What basis did Jing Yan have to challenge three people, including Six-star Void God Meng He?

Cao Lin was also shocked, staring wide-eyed at Jing Yan.
