Chapter 489: The Witch Sect Gathering

“Witch Sect Gathering?

The other elders s.h.i.+vered as soon as Chen Fan spoke the words. An old man with an aquiline nose shouted out hotly: “Grand Elder! How dare you betray the secret of the Witch Sects?”

“Noisy!”

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and flicked a finger, sending out an azure aura at the aquiline nose. The elder acted quickly and pulled out his defense: a layer of s.h.i.+mmering dark screen.

However, any resistance would be futile before Chen Fan.

Not even a Perfected Cultivator could have withstood his attack.

“Puhh!”

The azure blade auras sliced through the elder’s neck and decapitated him in an instant. Seeing the brutal death, the other elders were suddenly overtaken by trepidation.

“Tell me where Yu Wenjin is, then I will leave some of you alive to carry on the legacy of your sect. Otherwise, I will see to it that the Ghost Witch Sect disappears from the face of the earth.”

Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and spoke to the white-haired elder impa.s.sively.

The Grand Elder swallowed down the humiliation and weighed his options. In the end, he heaved a sigh and said: “Yes..”

When Chen Fan started down the path that led to the foothill, the flame had already engulfed the temple, with the dead bodies of elders in it.

Of course, Chen Fan wouldn’t let any of those culprits live.

However, Chen Fan didn’t kill any more of their disciples as he had promised to the Grand Elder.

“Immortal Master, did you find Miss Yu Wenjin?”

Seeing Chen Fan had come out of the temple by himself, Perfected Cultivator s.h.i.+ hurried toward Chen Fan and asked.

“She was taken to the Witch Sect Gathering.” Chen Fan cast an icy glance at the people around him and asked: “Does anyone of you know what this thing is?”

“Witch Sect Gathering?

The listeners gasped after hearing the name.

Dong Hezi grimaced and said: “The Witch Sect Gathering is their equivalent of the Chinese Esotericism Conference or the Martial Arts Conference. However, this gathering is much larger in scale and follows strict procession and rules. They will vote on a Magus King to lead the Witch Sects. However, ever since the Dark Witch Sect was expelled from China, there hasn’t been a gathering for fifty years.”

“Everyone will be there during the gathering: the Ghost Witch Sect, Spirit Witch Sect, Blood Witch Sect, Cadaver Witch Sect, Heaven Witch Sect, just to name a few. I wouldn’t be surprised to see members of the Dark Witch Sect, either.” Dong Hezi said as concern flickered in his eyes.

Perfected Cultivator s.h.i.+ asked cautiously: “Immortal Master, were you able to find out the location of the Witch Sect Gathering?”

“They told me it’s close to the border, at a place called Mount Magus.” Chen Fan replied.

Although he was not sure where it was located, it’s exact coordinates was only one phone call away to Red Sparrow.

“I knew it!” Perfected Cultivator s.h.i.+’s face was lit up by the excitement. He went on to explain:

“Immortal Master, Mount Magus, is not a mountain, it’s a small settlement near the border between China and Myanmar. It was a lawless no man’s land with a harsh environment thrown in for good measures. People say that Mount Magus was controlled by the Witch Sects, and it’s a haven for murders and criminals alike.”

“That’s where I am going now.”

Chen Fan said readily.

Yu Wenjin had been taken away by the Grand Magus for a few days, so any minute that Chen Fan wasted would bring Yu Wenjin one minute closer to her doom. Worse, Chen Fan was outright furious after he learned what the Grand Magus was going to do with her.

The resolve in Chen Fan’s voice deterred Bai Wuji from talking Chen Fan out of his seemingly suicidal plan.

Perfected Cultivator s.h.i.+ suggested Chen Fan take one of their vehicles, but Chen Fan refused the offer.

He waved a dismissal and then turned into a streak of azure light that extended along the highway with Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa in tow. It’s much faster for Chen Fan to run than drive a car.

It wasn’t until Chen Fan disappeared did Dong Hezi finally open his mouth.

“Brother s.h.i.+, one of the key agenda of the Witch Sect Gathering, was to elect a new Magus King. The election is going to draw all Witch Sect leaders to the gathering, including the Dark Witch Sect. Worse, I am certain that the Mount Magus is protected by the Witch Sects’ most powerful Dharma Arrays. Do you think Immortal Master Chen can hold out against them?”

“Humph! It’s none of our business now. All things are well if he could succeed, but if he loses, I wish him dead and never return. One less trouble for us, I say.”

Seu Yunzhi snorted and said.

Perfected Cultivator s.h.i.+ shook his head in disappointment after seeing the others nodding in agreement with Seu Yuzhi’s shortsighted remark.

Southeast Province was a traitorous mountain region. However, both Chen Fan and Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa were extremely athletic and could scale mountains as swiftly as running on a track.

With such speed, they reached the China-Myanmar border in less than an hour.

The Mount Magus was a small village nestled along a basin grove that was surrounded by impa.s.sable mountains on all sides.

Inside the basin, the temperature was mild, and wildflowers were blooming in every corner. Meanwhile, the unique terrain around it made it a natural fortress against invaders. No wonder it had become a haven for criminals on the run.

Chen Fan and Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa traveled on the only road that led to the village for a while, and then they came across a checkpoint.

“The village of Mount Magus is closed to visitors. Please return.”
