The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 1874: Obstruction

Beyond the borders of the Shelun Country.

A dark red figure emerged from the wormhole fissure. His expression was stern, and with a flash of his silhouette, he directly entered the boundary domain of the Shelun Country.

This person first arrived at the Changshan Continent, at the place where Jing Yan and Die Dong had clashed, and locked onto a trace of aura.

Then he swung his arm, tearing through the chaotic space. When he walked out from the wormhole again, he was already near the Imperial City of Shelun Country.

This person was a Void Deputy Hall Master of the Void Divine Hall.

The Void Deputy Hall Master of the Void Divine Hall held a status comparable to that of the Vice Palace Master of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

Emperor Chenyuan’s judgment was correct. After Void Son Die Dong was killed by Jing Yan, the Void Divine Hall immediately learned of this incident. The Void Divine Hall placed special emphasis on their Void Sons and generally endowed them with numerous treasures for self-protection while venturing outside.

Moreover, in the Endless Chaos, it was rare for anyone to dare to kill a Void Son.

This time, with Die Dong being killed, the higher-ups of the Void Divine Hall were both furious and shocked. They quickly pinpointed the location where Die Dong was killed. This Void Deputy Hall Master locked onto Jing Yan’s aura, knowing that Jing Yan had not yet left the Shelun Country and was within the Imperial City of Shelun Country.

The Deputy Hall Master felt a surge of anger in his heart, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. Whoever dared to kill a Void Son would be made to pay by the Void Divine Hall.

After arriving in the Imperial City, he did not act rashly.

The ruler of this nation was Emperor Chenyuan. Even as a Void Deputy Hall Master of the Void Divine Hall, he had to show enough respect to Emperor Chenyuan. If dealing with some ordinary national royalty, this Deputy Hall Master would have stormed in directly without any pleasantries. But here, it was after all Emperor Chenyuan’s domain.

Inside the Emperor’s Palace, Emperor Chenyuan was discussing some major events that had occurred in the Endless Chaos and the Ultimate Land with Jing Yan when he sensed a Controller entering his Shelun Country.

"Jing Yan, someone from the Void Divine Hall has arrived," Emperor Chenyuan said to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s expression shifted slightly.

The people from the Void Divine Hall had truly arrived quickly. He had just arrived in the Imperial City with Emperor Chenyuan, and it hadn’t been long, yet the high-ranking members of the Void Divine Hall had already reached Shelun Country.

"Don’t worry!"

"Let me first see who has come!" Emperor Chenyuan said, pointing a finger.

An image appeared in the space of the Great Hall, showing a man in a dark red robe revealed within the scene.

"It’s him!"

"Tao Wu! I didn’t expect him to come personally," Emperor Chenyuan squinted his eyes.

Tao Wu, the Void Deputy Hall Master, was a formidable presence at the Controller level.

If Die Dong had not been killed in Shelun Country but rather in a relatively ordinary nation, the Void Divine Hall might have dispatched a Chaos Pavilion Master instead.

The Chaos Pavilion Master of the Void Divine Hall was equivalent to the Chaos Hall Master of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

"Jing Yan, you stay here. I’ll go meet Tao Wu!" Emperor Chenyuan said to Jing Yan, casting a sidelong glance, then vanished from the Great Hall in a flash.

Outside the Imperial City, two figures met.

"Deputy Hall Master Tao Wu!" Emperor Chenyuan said, staring at the person in front of him.

"Emperor Chenyuan!" Tao Wu took the initiative to cup his hands towards Emperor Chenyuan.

However, Emperor Chenyuan did not return the gesture or show any interest in reciprocating.

"Deputy Hall Master Tao Wu, is there something you need in my Shelun Country?" Emperor Chenyuan asked directly, grinning.

"Indeed, there is one matter," Tao Wu nodded. "Our Void Divine Hall had a Void Son, named Die Dong, killed on the Changshan Continent within Shelun Country’s domain. I have already verified it, locked onto the murderer’s aura, and know he is hiding within the Imperial City of Shelun Country."

"Emperor Chenyuan, you know what a Void Son means to our Void Divine Hall. Therefore, on behalf of the Void Divine Hall, I request your convenience in allowing me to enter the Imperial City and take the murderer away. The Void Divine Hall will be grateful to you, Emperor Chenyuan," Tao Wu said slowly.

At the moment, he actually already knew that the person who killed Die Dong might have been brought to the Imperial City by Emperor Chenyuan. Even if it wasn’t Emperor Chenyuan himself, it must certainly be a member of the high-ranking officials of Shelun Country. Otherwise, the murderer couldn’t have arrived in the Imperial City from Changshan Continent in such a short time. Even using Shelun Country’s Super Transmission Array, it shouldn’t be that quick. Of course, this was just speculation.

"Yes, I’m aware of this matter."

"The one who killed Void Son Die Dong is named Jing Yan, and he is indeed in the Imperial City at this time, and he is within my palace," Emperor Chenyuan nodded and said.

"Hmm?" Tao Wu’s eyes tightened.

He realized that the matter seemed more troublesome than he anticipated. Earlier, he still held hope that Emperor Chenyuan might willingly turn over the murderer. But now, it seemed that Emperor Chenyuan probably had no intention of allowing the murderer to be taken away.

"However, I cannot let Deputy Hall Master Tao Wu take Jing Yan away. He is my guest," Emperor Chenyuan said firmly, with an air of authority.

Tao Wu looked at Emperor Chenyuan, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Why is Emperor Chenyuan stopping me?"

"As I said, Jing Yan is my guest. Moreover, it was Die Dong who provoked Jing Yan first, which is why he was killed," Emperor Chenyuan said with a wave of his hand. "Deputy Hall Master Tao Wu, I ask you to leave!"

"Is Emperor Chenyuan obstructing the actions of the Void Divine Hall?" a flash of sharp light flickered in Tao Wu’s eyes.

"Obstructing the Void Divine Hall?" Emperor Chenyuan laughed. "If you think so, that’s fine. I can’t change your thinking. In any case, this time, Deputy Hall Master Tao Wu will not be able to take Jing Yan away. Even if the Hall Master of the Void Divine Hall himself came, he wouldn’t be able to take Jing Yan from my hands."

"Well then, Deputy Hall Master Tao Wu, please leave. I have other matters, and I won’t be entertaining you this time," said Emperor Chenyuan.

"Fine!" Tao Wu’s heart boiled with anger.

But facing Emperor Chenyuan, he truly lacked confidence. Emperor Chenyuan was an existence capable of contending with Ultimate Strong People. Even if the Hall Master of the Void Divine Hall came personally, it would be difficult to deal with him in Emperor Chenyuan’s territory. With Tao Wu’s strength, in a confrontation with Emperor Chenyuan, the odds of victory were slim.

"Farewell!" Tao Wu waved his arm, tearing open the chaotic space with an angry heart.

When he arrived, to show respect to Emperor Chenyuan, he deliberately chose the chaos outside Shelun Country. But now, he directly tore through Shelun Country’s chaotic space to leave.

After Tao Wu left, Emperor Chenyuan returned to the palace.

Seeing Emperor Chenyuan return, the tension on Jing Yan’s face eased a bit. To say he wasn’t at all nervous would be a lie. Jing Yan knew that if he were taken away by the people from the Void Divine Hall, it would be the end for him. With his current level of strength, escaping from the Void Divine Hall was nothing short of a delusion.
