Chapter 974 – The Return to Power (1/2)

The Return to Power

The 14th!

“You six major families are putting your face to an appalling degree of shame. It was a shame when you all killed Jiang Chen jointly. Today, you are all sentencing a junior to death in public? You all certainly have thick skins!” yelled Lang Xingtian.

They weren’t familiar with Han Yan and this was the first time that they saw him in person. Nevertheless, what Han Yan did really made them admire him. It was also very emotional when Han Yan was willing to sacrifice his own life just to avenge his sworn brother, making the entire world his enemy in the process. How many people in this world could actually do this? Moreover, Han Yan had the powerful Ancient Divine Devil Bloodline, which was stronger than any average physique. He was a true genius with excellent talent. The moment his bloodline was thoroughly awaken, he would become an unparalleled great devil with unfathomable strength.

This was something that the six major families noticed. Although he was merely a Fourth Grade Great Saint, no Fifth Grade Great Saint could ever match him. He could even fight ordinary Sixth Grade Great Saints. Even if he lost the fight, it wouldn’t be difficult for him flee, but when all of the Sixth Grade Great Saint experts of the six major families encircled him, running away was no longer an option, even if he had an unparalleled ability and was given an extra pair of wings. After all, he didn’t possess the Spatial Shift and the Flaming Wings of Jiang Chen.

“Lang Xingtian, go f*ck yourself. Won’t you feel your back aching while standing here talking? If you have lost as much elders and geniuses as we did, I’m afraid that you won’t be standing here speaking sarcastically.” Narang Changtian scolded Lang Xingtian.

“Gu Xuantian, Lang Xingtian, is there something wrong with you two? That Jiang Chen is already dead. What’s the point of trying to protect his people? Even if you put your heart into it, Jiang Chen won’t come back and reward you.”

“Exactly. There is no doubt that Jiang Chen is outstandingly gifted, even this little devil king in front of us is also a rare genius. However, a devil king is just a king, everybody has the right to punish them. These two devil kings went against us, and there is only one ending for them, death! The dignity of us, six major families, had been repeatedly challenged. If he isn’t executed today, how are we going to defend our dignity?”

Danyang Tian and Shi Haotian added.

What they said wasn’t unreasonable. Anyone who suffered such enormous losses would surely get infuriated.

Ever since the clash between Jiang Chen and them in Void Triangular Domain, the six major families hadn’t been at peace. Back in the ancient battlefield, Jiang Chen had brought them even greater losses. They hadn’t expected that another wild devil would appear after just a month of Jiang Chen’s death. This incident had brought chaos to the six major families. So, how could they not be angry about it?

“Don’t talk nonsense to them. Noon is almost here. At that time, we will slice off the flesh of this wicked devil. With our presence here, it would be impossible for the Gu Family and Demon Race to save him.”

Desolate Yuntian’s face turned dark and ruthless when he decided the fate of Han Yan. The reason they were all here today was to prevent the Gu Family and Demon Race from interrupting the execution. In other words, they were here to repress any opposition.

“Uncle, it’s almost noon. If Little Chen doesn’t come, Ah Yan will be in real danger.”

Wu Ningzhu felt extremely anxious and could no longer wait. If something were to happen to Han Yan, it would deal a great blow to Jiang Chen.

“Brother Gu, even if Jiang Chen arrives in time, I’m afraid that not only will he not be able to save Han Yan given his cultivation, but also send himself into the tiger’s mouth,” said Lang Xingtian worriedly.

“Rest assured, Brother Lang. Gu Palace has replied to my message, saying that Jiang Chen isn’t the same as the previous Jiang Chen. No one in the Pure Land will be his opponent now.” Gu Xuantian said.This message was personally sent by Gu Firmament. There was no doubt about it.

“Jiang Chen is really terrifying. It’s only been more than a month since he went to Saint Origin Palace. To a Great Saint, a month’s time isn’t really sufficient, it is virtually impossible to make any great progress within a month. I’m afraid that only those monstrous talents like Jiang Chen is able to do this.” Lang Xingtian marveled.

He had always looked up to Jiang Chen, but after hearing this news, he knew that he had underestimated Jiang Chen once again.

“Little Chen, come back quick!”

Wu Ningzhu was about to lose her patience, sensing that the hour was slowly approaching. The six major families would never let go of Han Yan. Given the present situation, even if the Gu Family and Demon Race interfered, they wouldn’t be able to save Han Yan.

“There is no need to worry, Ning Er. If he really comes late, uncle will stall them to buy him some time.”

Two rays of brilliant light flashed out of Gu Xuantian’s eyes. Today, whether he could save Han Yan or not, he had to do his best. There was a vast difference between waiting and acting regardless of the success. He wouldn’t feel guilty in front of Jiang Chen if Han Yan really died at the end, because he had done what he could. If he only watched Han Yan being tortured to death without doing anything, Jiang Chen would never forgive them and they would feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

“En.”

Wu Ningzhu nodded. It was useless for her to feel anxious now, also Gu Xuantian promised to buy Jiang Chen some time, which eased her worried heart. In any case, Jiang Chen had to come and deal with this situation.

Minutes and seconds passed. The crowd had been very silent and the atmosphere was stifling. Han Yan who was bound by chain didn’t have the slightest fear on his face.

“Patriarch, the time is up.” Someone said.

“En, let the Ling Chi Execution begin.” Desolate Yuntiang said emotionlessly.

Standing beside Han Yan was a Sixth Grade Great Saint with a face full of ruthlessness. A long sword appeared in his hands. Then, this extremely sharp sword slowly moved towards Han Yan.

“Brat, you have to pay for what you did. What do you think, should I cut your flesh into a thousand or ten thousand slices?” The Sixth Grade Great Saint asked with a sneer.

“I’m afraid even ten thousand cuts won’t kill me. I suggest you to kill me directly, otherwise, you will be tired to death instead of killing me. That will certainly cause you to lose your face.”

Han Yan grinned at the Sixth Grade Great Saint. It seemed like to him, Ling Chi wasn’t torturous enough of an execution but something that would only tickle his skin.
