The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 1099: The General Director’s Favor

Guan Lun left the Jidao Palace and rushed to the Fifth Palace from the Ninth Palace of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

Towards Jing Yan, this little fellow, Guan Lun has a great affection. Ever since Jing Yan entered the Luo Jiu Divine Palace and joined the Qingmu Department, in just a decade or two, he has already advanced to the Fifth Palace.

In other words, as of now, Jing Yan alone has helped the Qingmu Department obtain four Divine Spring Hall rewards. From the First Palace to the Fourth Palace Qingmu Department, each palace has received a Divine Spring Hall because of Jing Yan. The overall allure of the Qingmu Department has thus greatly increased.

What makes Guan Lun even more proud is that he can feel the hidden envy from many General Directors when they see him. This gives Guan Lun immense secret satisfaction.

As for the conflict between Jing Yan and Yin Hua, Guan Lun doesn’t care much. This matter, he had already understood earlier. Not to mention this matter wasn’t Jing Yan’s fault, even if it were Jing Yan’s fault, Guan Lun would still help Jing Yan shoulder this matter.

A genius like Jing Yan is a rare sight in a thousand years within the Luli Divine Domain, and even rarer within the Luo Jiu Divine Palace. How could such a prodigy not be given extra care? freewebnσvel.cѳm

Guan Lun decided to meet Jing Yan not to criticize him, but because he is genuinely curious about Jing Yan. Guan Lun had never met Jing Yan face-to-face, and he had long wanted to meet him. Now is the perfect opportunity to do so.

Fifth Palace Qingmu Department Estate.

The news of General Director Guan Lun’s arrival quickly spread throughout the estate. Director Xu Yan, upon receiving the news, rushed to greet at the fastest speed.

"Why would the General Director suddenly arrive?" Xu Yan’s heart, unavoidably, was a little flustered.

Before this, she had received no information at all, and did not know that the General Director of the Qingmu Department would come to the Fifth Palace Qingmu Department.

Hence, this news truly shocked her.

The General Director holds such a high position. Although Xu Yan is the Director of the Fifth Palace Qingmu Department, she rarely has the chance to meet General Director Guan Lun. As for General Director descending from the Jidao Palace, it is even a more rare occurrence. He rarely even visits the Seventh Palace, let alone descending to the Fifth Palace.

If the General Director has something to command the subordinates, there are usually two choices: one is to directly send a message to the Directors of each Qingmu Department of the Palaces. The other is to go to the Eighth Palace Qingmu Department Headquarters to command the headquarters’ deacon to handle affairs.

"Could it be because of Jing Yan’s case?"

"But... wasn’t I instructed by the General Director to refuse handing over people to the Sixth Palace Sky Wolf Department?" When the Chief of the Sixth Palace Sky Wolf Department sent the message, Xu Yan had already reported this matter.

Carrying a belly full of questions, Xu Yan met Guan Lun, who had already entered the Qingmu Department Estate.

"Greetings, General Director!" Xu Yan greeted respectfully.

Guan Lun smiled, waving a hand to Xu Yan, "Director Xu Yan, no need for such formalities."

Seeing the General Director with a pleasant demeanor, Xu Yan let out a sigh of relief. It seems the General Director’s descent this time is probably not a bad thing, at least not a serious matter.

Xu Yan led Guan Lun into the Council Hall.

Four deacons of the Fifth Palace Qingmu Department also hurried over to greet upon receiving the news.

"Everyone, act with ease. In my presence, there’s no need to be nervous. I came from the Jidao Palace this time, without much of an agenda, just to casually inspect our Fifth Palace Qingmu Department. And I also want to meet a member of the Fifth Palace Qingmu Department."

"Director Xu Yan, is Jing Yan here currently?" Guan Lun asked, looking at Xu Yan.

"He is. Does the General Director wish to see Jing Yan? I will send someone to call him over." Xu Yan said, ordering a deacon to bring Jing Yan over.

The deacon found Jing Yan and told him that the General Director wishes to see him, which indeed shocked Jing Yan.

The General Director, an authentic high-ranking figure in the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, is a very powerful high-level True God. Within the entire Luli Divine Domain, figures like the Chief of the Ninety-nine Divisions are prestigious, revered by countless Martial Artists.

Even though Jing Yan now has some reputation, he is surely far from such figures as the Chief of the Ninety-nine Divisions.

Upon hearing that General Director Guan Lun was going to see him, Jing Yan dared not slack, immediately following the deacon to the Fifth Palace Qingmu Department Council Hall.

After entering the Council Hall, Jing Yan quickly scanned around and confirmed Guan Lun. Among the few people in the Council Hall, there was only Guan Lun, whom Jing Yan hadn’t met before while knowing Xu Yan and the others.

"Greetings, General Director!" Jing Yan immediately greeted respectfully.

"Haha, greetings to you too, little brother Jing Yan." Guan Lun assessed Jing Yan with a kind gaze, nodding slightly.

Indeed, very young.

Under two hundred years old, possessing such formidable combat strength; the future is limitless.

"Jing Yan, have a seat; let us have a casual chat." Guan Lun continued.

Jing Yan, without pretense, thanked the General Director and took a seat.

"This Jing Yan is truly bold, appearing so composed even in front of the General Director." Xu Yan and others watched Jing Yan, somewhat dumbfounded.

"Jing Yan, I heard you killed a member of the Sixth Palace Sky Wolf Department named Dun Rong?" Guan Lun asked in a gentle tone.

"Yes, I killed Dun Rong on the day I advanced to the Fifth Palace." Jing Yan nodded.

"That Dun Rong is a one-star True God, and being from the Sixth Palace, his strength should be quite formidable. Jing Yan, you haven’t yet entered the True God Realm; I’m curious, how did you manage to kill Dun Rong?" Guan Lun asked.

"This..." Jing Yan furrowed his brow, momentarily unsure how to explain.

"I heard you’ve mastered two types of first-class Divine Powers?" Guan Lun continued.

"Yes! The Divine Powers I have mastered are the Sword Intent Divine Ability and the Nihility Divine Ability," Jing Yan replied.

Mastering two Divine Abilities is a well-known fact, not a secret at all. The General Director would be unaware of this, and that would be truly strange.

"Is your Sword Intent Divine Ability already at the Third Realm?" Guan Lun’s eyes slightly narrowed, asking softly.

"Ah?"

"Indeed, it is the Third Realm Sword Intent Divine Ability." Jing Yan showed a trace of surprise upon hearing Guan Lun’s words.

His Third Realm Sword Intent Divine Ability was achieved during the battle with Dun Rong, so apart from himself, perhaps no one else knew his Sword Intent Divine Ability had reached the Third Realm. How did General Director Guan Lun, who had not seen the battle with Dun Rong, know his Sword Intent Divine Ability had reached the Third Realm?

"As expected!"

"When I heard you killed Dun Rong, I thought your Sword Intent Divine Ability might be at the Third Realm."

"Yet, solely relying on the Third Realm Sword Intent Divine Ability, killing Dun Rong is also quite difficult. Did you use an Intermediate Level Attack Divine Artifact?" Lately, Guan Lun had been analyzing the components of Jing Yan’s combat power.

Even he couldn’t completely dissect how Jing Yan managed to kill Dun Rong.
