Chapter 1415: Chapter 1415: Incomprehensible
Liu Liyue felt completely stunned!
To the Viper Emperor, are you actually speaking in such a tone?
The tone unmistakably carried a teasing flavor. Everyone present could hear it.
Even Zhao Tianmei was looking at Jing Yan with a disbelief in her eyes. She knew Jing Yan was extremely powerful, at least a strong figure at the Second-tier God Master level, and she even suspected Jing Yan might be a First-class God Lord, an existence as formidable as the Emperor level. But even an Emperor shouldn’t disregard another Emperor this much, right?
In the distance, Ying Li also turned her gaze toward Jing Yan.
But what happened next made these people feel even more bizarre.
The Viper Emperor, upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, showed no sign of anger. In fact, there was a strange smile on the Viper Emperor’s face, like one that was ingratiating and carried some fear.
Viper was very famous in the All Paths World, certainly not someone easy to talk to. So what was happening today?
"Misunderstanding! It’s really a misunderstanding!" Viper spoke up, explaining from afar in an ingratiating tone.
At the same time, he secretly activated his divine power, ready to escape at any moment. However, remembering Jing Yan’s speed from a few months ago, he weighed the situation and felt that if he tried to flee right now, he’d surely be caught by Jing Yan. Besides, he no longer had another space treasure. What’s more, even if he did have a second space treasure, such treasures are incredibly valuable and using them is distressing.
Viper’s tone carried a clear sense of submission.
"Misunderstanding?" Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed.
"Lord Jing Yan, it really is a misunderstanding. I was chasing this girl with no other intentions, I truly didn’t mean to kill her. Had I known she was acquainted with you, I would’ve definitely stayed out of her path," Viper explained helplessly.
"Come over here!" Jing Yan waved a hand to Viper.
Viper was slightly startled.
Come over?
Viper couldn’t help but glance around before gritting his teeth and flying toward Jing Yan’s ship.
Although there was some distance between him and Jing Yan, at the Emperor God Master level, this distance was not a buffer at all. Viper also sensed that Jing Yan didn’t seem to intend on making a direct move. If Jing Yan was still bent on killing him, he wouldn’t be talking so much, nor would he be calling him over.
Of course, Viper was inevitably a bit nervous; he definitely didn’t want to die.
Once nearby, Viper flashed Jing Yan an awkward smile.
"What did you grab from Yingli?" Jing Yan asked.
Just now, Ying Li had already explained that she beat Viper to the purchase in Black Sun City, acquiring an item that might also have caught Viper’s attention. That’s why she got into trouble with Viper. Ying Li, perhaps to avoid being hunted down, voluntarily gave the item to Viper, but Viper persisted, chasing them out of Black Sun City.
Hearing Jing Yan’s question, Viper quickly took out a green object, exuding a rich fluctuation of the Power of Laws.
This was a piece of Bitter Immortal Wood, indeed very precious. Whether it was in the All Paths World or in the God Realm, it was not something ordinary. Sometimes, no matter how many Divine Crystals you have, you still couldn’t purchase it.
Bitter Immortal Wood, even for a God Lord at the Super First-class Divine Sovereign level, is of significant use. It has an excellent auxiliary effect on God Lords comprehending Wood Attribute Basic Laws.
"Viper, return the Bitter Immortal Wood to Yingli," Jing Yan said with narrowed eyes.
"Okay!" Without any hesitation, Viper tossed the Bitter Immortal Wood, turning it into a stream of light that flew towards Yingli.
Yingli instinctively caught the Bitter Immortal Wood, still appearing somewhat bewildered.
"Apologize!" Jing Yan’s indifferent voice continued.
"Miss Yingli, I was wrong in this matter; I should not have taken your belongings. Here, in front of Lord Jing Yan, I sincerely apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness," Viper straightforwardly responded.
On that day outside the All Paths World, he even knelt in front of Jing Yan and begged for mercy. As long as he could survive, his face was of no concern to him. As for the dignity of an Emperor powerhouse, it didn’t matter to him at all.
Hearing Viper’s apology, Yingli widened her eyes, confused. She glanced at Viper and then at Jing Yan on the ship, her thoughts swirling chaotically, unable to understand why the Viper Emperor feared the young Martial Artist, who was with her two junior sisters.
"Viper!" Jing Yan stared at Viper.
Viper bowed and said, "If Lord Jing Yan has any instructions, just say the word, and I, Viper, will do my utmost to fulfill them."
Jing Yan waved his hand, saying, "I have nothing to instruct you. However, there’s one thing I must make clear. Today, I can spare your life, but if I catch you looting and killing again, don’t blame me for taking action against you."
Hearing Jing Yan’s words, Viper was instantly overjoyed.
Truthfully, his heart had been in turmoil. Although Jing Yan didn’t seem too intent on killing him, he wasn’t certain. Now, he felt completely relieved.
A smile appeared on Viper’s face.
"Rest assured, Lord Jing Yan, I have decided not to plunder others’ resources again, I swear! I, Viper, am going to be a good person!" Viper solemnly declared.
"Lord Jing Yan, may I leave?" Viper’s eyes flickered as he cautiously asked.
"Get lost!" Jing Yan waved a hand.
"Looking forward to seeing you again, Lord Jing Yan!" After leaving this line, Viper quickly activated his divine power, his body turning into a stream of light, rapidly fleeing away.
He was not heading toward Black Sun City but away from it. Clearly, he noticed that Jing Yan and the others intended to enter Black Sun City. His only thought now was to get as far away from this calamity as possible; he certainly didn’t want to see Jing Yan again. If possible, he never wanted to see Jing Yan for the rest of his life.
Watching Viper’s figure disappear, Jing Yan chuckled softly.
Meeting the Viper Emperor this time, Jing Yan did not have a strong intent to kill, differing from the time outside the All Paths World. In fact, since the day Viper knelt and begged for mercy, Jing Yan’s killing intent towards Viper had somewhat faded.
At this point, Yingli also returned to the vicinity of the ship.
Zhao Tianmei, Liu Liyue, and Yingli all widened their beautiful eyes, staring at Jing Yan.
The attitude of the Viper Emperor towards Jing Yan was clear to them; the Viper Emperor was obviously very afraid of Jing Yan.
But what on earth was the reason for this?
Could it be that Mr. Jing Yan’s strength far exceeded that of the Viper Emperor?
How could this be possible! In the All Paths World, there are not many who are far stronger than the Viper Emperor.
Zhao Tianmei knew that Jing Yan came from the Human Territory, but from her understanding, the Nine Great Divine Realms in the Human Territory didn’t have many Warriors exceeding the First-class God Lord.
