Duanmu Supre and others were indeed terrified by the news coming from the Fire Worship Path domain.
Jin Haiwang, Blue Entropy Palace Master, Qianyi Supre, and six High-level Supres perished in this battle. The fall of six High-level Supres in one battle is extrely rare in the long history of the Chaos Universe.
The key point is that no one could have anticipated the confrontation between Jin Haiwang and Jing Yan would end in such a manner.
Upon receiving this news, Duanmu and his group rushed to the Fire Worship Path domain as quickly as possible.
When Duanmu Supre and the other High-level Supres arrived, Jing Yan showed considerable hospitality. Outside the Fire Worship World, Jing Yan t Duanmu Supre and others. This was Jing Yan’s second encounter with Duanmu Supre, the first being at Lady Nu Zhen’s birthday banquet.
To be honest, Jing Yan isn’t particularly enthusiastic about Duanmu Supre now, even sowhat cold towards him. The reason is simple: Duanmu Supre didn’t stop Jin Haiwang and others. Although Duanmu Supre seed to oppose Jin Haiwang and others from fighting Jing Yan, he didn’t actually intervene.
With Duanmu Supre’s status and influence, if he truly intended to stop Jin Haiwang, he could have done so. In this Chaotic Universe, Duanmu Supre’s position is comparable to Lady Nu Zhen’s. Moreover, Duanmu Supre has a great advantage over Lady Nu Zhen; he has close relationships with many High-level Supres.
Among the people in this universe you don’t want to offend, Duanmu Supre is definitely one. So, if he truly wanted to prevent Jin Haiwang from confronting Jing Yan, with Lady Nu Zhen’s support for Jing Yan, Jin Haiwang, even if he was truly mad, would have to think twice. Even if Jin Haiwang persisted, Blue Entropy Palace Master and others would not accompany him in madness.
In the end, Duanmu Supre is probably not as selfless as he appears; he also has personal interests but hides them well in public.
Of course, Jing Yan cannot overtly bla Duanmu for this. After all, Duanmu isn’t related to you; why would he help you stop Jin Haiwang?
"Fellow Daoist Duanmu!" Jing Yan greeted the High-level Supres from afar with a cupped fist salute.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan!"
"Fellow Daoist Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix, Fellow Daoist Nu Zhen..." Duanmu Supre, with a kindly deanor, exchanged greetings with the Supres on Jing Yan’s side.
The parties exchanged pleasantries.
"Fellow Daoist Duanmu and others, what brings you to the Fire Worship World?" Jing Yan inquired.
He was feigning ignorance.
Jing Yan actually understood the purpose of Duanmu and his group’s visit. The death of Jin Haiwang and six High-level Supres is a significant event in the Chaos Universe. Duanmu and his group couldn’t possibly remain indifferent. The deaths of Jin Haiwang and the six High-level Supres would certainly result in nurous subsequent impacts. Each of them had significant influence in the Chaos Universe, and their deaths affected many of their subordinates, each holding enormous power.
Upon hearing Jing Yan’s question, Duanmu Supre’s aged face showed so embarrassnt, and he chuckled dryly.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s strength is truly astonishing!" Duanmu remarked evasively.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, we want to know if Jin Haiwang, Blue Entropy Palace Master, and the others truly have fallen?" asked a High-level Supre beside Duanmu.
"Indeed, half a month ago, right outside the Fire Worship World in the Chaos Void, we clashed with Jin Haiwang and six High-level Supres. In this battle, all six High-level Supres on Jin Haiwang’s side were slain," Jing Yan stated directly.
There was no reason to hide this.
It was ti to show so strength before these esteed High-level Supres.
Currently, Lady Nu Zhen, Fu Qu, and Shi Yang — the three High-level Supres — are on Jing Yan’s side. Besides, Jing Yan has the imnsely powerful Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix as an ally, alongside his own formidable combat power. This force is nearly invincible in the Chaos Universe.
Even Duanmu Supre cannot contend. Duanmu Supre may have favorable relations, but he cannot persuade other High-level Supres to confront Jing Yan. Furthermore, those High-level Supres wouldn’t willingly beco Duanmu’s pawns.
In summary, Jing Yan’s power is now sufficiently strong. Unless beings like Lady Nüwa or the Primordial Chaos Hole Ancestor erge, Jing Yan faces no threat.
Thus, Jing Yan no longer needs to purposely remain low-profile.
Upon hearing Jing Yan’s statent, many inhaled sharply as they exchanged silent glances.
"Supre Jing Yan and Fellow Daoist Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix seem very close!" remarked soone, with a hint of jealousy, glancing at Jing Yan and then at the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix by his side.
Before Jing Yan could respond, Xiao Feng stared at the High-level Supre and said, "My relationship with Brother Jing Yan is none of your business."
Xiao Feng’s words were quite blunt.
Clearly, Xiao Feng felt no obligation to be polite to them. In the eyes of the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix, even High-level Supres are insignificant. Rember, she is the progenitor of the Beast Clan. At her peak, her combat power, while not equal to beings like Lady Nu Zhen, didn’t lag far behind. Moreover, the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix possesses an Undying Body, capable of Nirvana Rebirth after being slain, a rare ability among beings.
After being snubbed by the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix, the High-level Supre turned red but dared not react, silently cursing while envying Jing Yan’s fortune in forging such a close bond with the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, do you have any plans moving forward?" inquired Duanmu Supre, attempting to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Plans? What do you an, Fellow Daoist Duanmu?" Jing Yan squinted.
"Haha, the Fire Worship Path domain is now essentially under the control of the Sky Creation City Alliance. Their territory will expand significantly," Duanmu Supre replied with a smile.
"Indeed! Fellow Daoist Duanmu is absolutely right," Jing Yan nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, the subordinates of Jin Haiwang and others command forces and occupy vast territories. Will you take significant action against them in the future?" Duanmu Supre, recognizing Jing Yan’s pretense, asked directly instead of wasting ti circling the topic.
"Significant action? Fellow Daoist Duanmu exaggerates. Sorting them out doesn’t require dramatic action. Their leaders have been executed, and those remaining cannot withstand ," Jing Yan stated, waving his arm.
Duanmu’s expression darkened imdiately, feeling so anger.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I must say, now that Jin Haiwang and the six High-level Supres are dead, why can’t you spare their subordinates? Do you fear they might seek revenge in the future? Enough life has been lost in warfare; it’s ti to end it!" Duanmu’s tone beca more serious.
