CHAPTER 1457: CHAPTER 1457: HANDLING IT PERSONALLY

Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

From the actions of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain, it was evident that they were probing the All Paths Spirit Mountain branch, as well as testing him, the new Holy Master. If this opportunity was not seized to establish authority, the opposing side would look down on him, leading the other three to also underestimate the All Paths Spirit Mountain and disregard him as the new Holy Master.

"Besides the Northern Branch, have the other three branches made any moves recently?" Jing Yan chuckled coldly and looked towards Elder Su He for inquiry.

"The other three branches haven’t made any moves yet; they probably want to observe the situation first," Su He said in a deep voice.

"Since they want to watch the show, let them enjoy it," Jing Yan said, crossing his arms and looking towards the sky.

"Holy Master, what should we do? Should we send people to the border with the Northern Branch, or should we ignore it?" Seeing that Jing Yan hadn’t given more hints, Elder Hong Yuan couldn’t help asking.

"Elder Hong Yuan, don’t worry. I will personally handle this matter," Jing Yan smiled at Hong Yuan.

"Alright, all of you elders have worked hard, so disperse for now!" Jing Yan then said.

"But..." Several elders frowned as they looked at Jing Yan.

"I’ve said, I’ll handle it personally. You only need to keep things as they are. Elder Su He, please also keep a close watch on the Wanbao Divine Hall’s movements," Jing Yan shook his head.

Seeing Jing Yan speak this way, Su He and the others, although still unsure of Jing Yan’s plan, said nothing more. They respected Jing Yan as the Holy Master from deep within, not just on the surface. They would not go against the will of Jing Yan, the Holy Master.

After the elders dispersed, Jing Yan didn’t linger on the All Paths Cave Heaven Mountain for long but quickly left. Not only did he descend the mountain, but he also left the All Paths Spirit Mountain, flying towards the Northern Branch boundary.

With just one Ultimate Void Instantaneous movement, Jing Yan arrived at the boundary.

At the boundary, there were many disciples from both the All Paths Spirit Mountain and the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain. But from the current situation, the disciples of the All Paths Spirit Mountain were clearly at a disadvantage, in a defensive position. Meanwhile, the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain disciples were much more arrogant and often intruded into the territory of the All Paths Spirit Mountain.

Jing Yan observed for a moment from the sky and quickly assessed the situation between the two sides.

At this time, at the border gathering place of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain, Elder Zhang He was exuberantly communicating with some of the higher-ups of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain through a communication crystal.

"Hahaha..."

"The All Paths Spirit Mountain is just a bunch of cowards. I’ve been at the border for years and haven’t even seen a second-tier God Master Elder from the All Paths Spirit Mountain. I think they’re just scared!"

"What nonsense Holy Master, it’s just a facade. That Jing Yan is the coward of all cowards!"

"Over the years, I’ve intentionally killed a few Main God Disciples from the All Paths Spirit Mountain. But so what? That batch of cowards didn’t even dare to make a peep."

"I’ll continue to stay here, hehe... I want to see how long those cowards can endure."

Elder Zhang He often communicated with the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain, speaking derogatory words about the All Paths Spirit Mountain. In fact, the All Paths Spirit Mountain had taken no action against Elder Zhang He over the years.

This led to a misconception within the entire Northern Branch Spirit Mountain, believing that the All Paths Spirit Mountain hadn’t changed despite having a Holy Master who held the All Paths Order.

Not only the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain, but the other three Spirit Mountains also held a similar view. Gradually, no one cared about this so-called Holy Master named Jing Yan. Although the All Paths Order existed, it was just an inanimate object. Perhaps they could even snatch it. If they obtained the All Paths Order, they could justifiably overturn the All Paths Spirit Mountain.

"Alright, I’m done talking to you. My hands are itching again, I’m going out for a stroll to see if there’s any from the All Paths Spirit Mountain foolish enough to cross my path," Zhang He put away the communication crystal.

He led a group of Main God Disciples from the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain, departing the gathering place to fly towards the All Paths Spirit Mountain; the group was immense and imposing.

The All Paths Spirit Mountain gathering place quickly detected the unusual movements from the opposite border. A group of Divine Sovereign Martial Artists quickly convened. The person in charge was also a God Lord, though only at the ordinary God Lord level. Facing someone like Zhang He, an Emperor level individual, this ordinary God Lord had no way to resist.

He had requested assistance from the All Paths Spirit Mountain many times, but no Emperor Elders had been sent, which left him extremely anxious. He was truly exhausted during this period.

At this moment, upon hearing the report from a subordinate about Elder Zhang He from the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain leading a large group to attack again, his face instantly darkened.

"It’s outrageous!"

"It’s truly outrageous. An Emperor level figure acting so shamelessly!" The ordinary God Lord in charge stomped his feet in anger.

"Captain, what should we do?"

"The Northern Branch people are too despicable!"

"Alas, what are our All Paths Spirit Mountain elders thinking? Are they just going to let us suffer this bullying from the Northern Branch?" The voices of the Divine Sovereigns in the gathering place were filled with resentment.

"I think we should fight back! Even if it means dying, it’s better than enduring this humiliation!" There were hot-tempered Divine Sovereigns who thought enduring such indignities was worse than fighting until death.

"Everyone, calm down!"

"What we need to do now is endure. I believe the higher-ups won’t ignore this matter. We are now led by the Holy Master, and I’m sure the Holy Master has a plan," the person in charge, who was also the captain here, pressed his hands down to calm everyone.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a blue figure suddenly descended into the courtyard silently.

Not one person present detected how this figure arrived. Even the ordinary God Lord Captain didn’t sense it until they saw the person.

The martial artists in the entire courtyard were taken aback, their faces changing color.

Though this gathering place was somewhat simple, there were still some formations. However, the martial artist who suddenly intruded seemed to be unaffected by these formations.

The intruder was naturally Jing Yan, who had just transferred from the All Paths Spirit Mountain.

"Who goes there?" The captain shouted harshly, divine power rolling out, ready to take action at any moment.

The Divine Sovereign Martial Artists all looked at Jing Yan with wary eyes.

"It’s me, Jing Yan!" Jing Yan smiled at them.

"Jing Yan?"

"You... you’re the Holy Master?" The captain, after a moment of shock, finally recognized Jing Yan.

Although this captain had never met Jing Yan in person, he had seen images of him. So, although he didn’t recognize Jing Yan at first, once Jing Yan stated his name, the captain recognized him instantly.
