The Sword God of the Universe

Some Jing Family Disciples began to leave Jing Family Square, gathering their belongings to leave the Jing Family Mansion. They could settle in any city once leaving Donglin City.

”Jing Bao!”

Jing Yan looked at Jing Bao.

Jing Bao lowered his head, not daring to meet Jing Yanʼs eyes.

”From this moment, you will face the wall in contemplation for ten years. Return to your courtyard, and do not leave unless it is a matter of great importance.” Jing Yan stated firmly.

This was Jing Baoʼs punishment.

”Understood!” Jing Bao responded.

Perhaps at this moment, Jing Bao still didnʼt feel he was wrong, but he dared not defy Jing Yan or leave the main line of the Jing Family.

Jing Bao left.

The five Elders and Supreme Elders, along with many Jing Family Disciples, also departed from the square. Soon, they would leave the Jing Family Mansion in Donglin City.

”Jing Yun, summon all disciples within the family of the Void God Level and Peak of Saint Realm.” Jing Yan instructed Jing Yun.

Jing Yun was slightly surprised but still called over the top experts of the Jing Family as his father Jing Yan ordered.

The majority of the Jing Familyʼs top experts serve as family elders or Supreme Elders. However, some members do not hold any position since they focus solely on cultivation and avoid dealing with administrative matters, thus opting out of elder roles.

The Jing Family indeed had numerous Martial Artists in the Void God and Saint Realm. However, almost ten Void God and Saint Realm members just left the main line. This undeniably had a significant impact on the overall strength of the Jing Family.

Swiftly, aside from those unable to return from distant places, all other top experts gathered before Jing Yan.

”Do any of you have objections to how I dealt with Jing Zhu and others?” Jing Yan inquired of the group gathered there.

Everyone shook their heads.

”Ancestor, Jing Zhu and others went too far; they forgot how they became powerful, forgot how the Jing Family became powerful. Without you, Ancestor, the Jing Family might still be an obscure small family unable to even step out of Donglin City, or perhaps even be extinct.”

”It can be said that everything the Jing Family has belongs to Ancestor Jing Yan. Zhou Shang Yun, the Zhou Family Patriarch, has long served in upper management at the Splendid Pill Tower and contributed significantly to its development. Regardless of Zhou Shang Yunʼs relationship with you, Ancestor, we should allocate certain resources to the Zhou Family.”

”We all support your handling of the situation, Ancestor Jing Yan.”

”I support it too. However, losing so many top Martial Artists and many middle and lower-level disciples does have a considerable impact on the family as a whole.” another person said with a furrowed brow.

Once this person finished speaking, the others fell silent. Because this was indeed the truth, everyone had to accept this reality.

”This isnʼt much of a problem. The resources of our Jing Family are sufficient to quickly cultivate some top-level martial artists to fill the gap. As for the mid to lower-tier members, thatʼs even less of a problem.” The Clan Leader Jing Yun squinted his eyes and said.

”The Clan Leader is right!”

”Those who leave our main branch wonʼt receive our resources anymore. The resources we save can gradually cultivate some martial artists at the Saint Realm or even at the Void God Level.” A Supreme Elder nodded and said.

”As long as you all believe my handling is correct, thatʼs fine!”

”Honestly, I really donʼt want to see problems within the Jing Family, nor do I want to see a split in the family. However, for those descendants who cannot be united, itʼs better to not have them.”

”Alright, letʼs not discuss this matter anymore.”

”Next, those whose names I call, step forward.” Jing Yan then said.

”Jing Haiyan!”

”Jing Tao!”

”Jing Ziluo...”

Jing Yan called out one name after another.

The Jing Family members whose names were called all stepped forward with faces full of confusion. They didnʼt know what Jing Yan wanted by calling them out. Could it be they also did something wrong, and Ancestor Jing Yan wanted to punish them?

Some had indeed made some minor mistakes, and their hearts were even more uneasy.

”Ancestor! I was wrong, please forgive me!”

Jing Tao, a Jing Family disciple, directly knelt down and said to Jing Yan with a mournful face.

”Hmm, what mistake did you make?” Jing Yan was slightly stunned.
