Chapter 741 - Shaking the Realm of Kunxu (1/2)
In the Realm of Kunxu, thousands of ancient settlements were scattered around a ma.s.sive land tens of thousands of square miles in size. These settlements were controlled by sects or major families. Although the ordinary residences in Kunxu led simple lives that lacked exchange of information, the upper ruling cla.s.ses were very well connected.
News about what had happened at Lantai Mountain was spread across the land like wildfire.
Everyone was stunned.
Such an event had been unheard of for thousands of years, ever since the sages arrived in Kunxu. Many people believed that the reign of the Seven Exalted Sects would last until the end of time.
“Who is Chen Beixuan?”
“I’ve heard that he’s a young man in his twenties. It’s unbelievable that he was able to kill the Thearch’s Son and slaughter the overlords. Please go and support our new domain MangaBob.com.Thanks!I doubt that the Azure Mystic Sect Master could be his equal during his teenage years.”
“He is extremely powerful. Rumor has it that he captured the thousand years old water dragon and kept it as a pet. He’s a one in a thousand year genius!”
Many people heatedly discussed the news.
Leaders of many powerful families and sects were shocked.
The news had an explosive effect among the people of Kunxu. Many sects even forgot about their preparations for war against the mortal world and diverted their resources to search for more information about Chen Beixuan.
“He might be the youngest Earth Level Deity Kunxu has ever seen,” many cultivators exclaimed.
“He’s not only the youngest Earth Level Deity, but also the strongest. This battle may well have earned him a seat among the top twenty most powerful sages in Kunxu, making him an equal to the sect masters and the senior powerhouses,” some people remarked.
They were deeply shocked by Chen Fan’s achievement and their hearts were filled with fear.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan’s savagery and his willingness to use brute force had also left a deep impression in the minds of the powerful cultivators in Kunxu.
“He’s a monster. He slaughters people on a whim. Not even the Mieqing Sect or the Heavenly Thunder Sect could compare with his ruthlessness.”
However, some cultivation families who thought ahead had dispatched special envoys to try to rope him in.
Such powerful overlords were rare even by Kunxu’s standards.
Qishan City…
“What? Chen Beixuan killed the Thearch’s Son and seven Earth Level Deities from Exalted Sects?”
When Qi Mufeng and the others heard about the news, they turned into frozen statues.
They couldn’t believe what they had heard. Sages were powerful cultivators, yet Chen Fan had killed so many of them, as if they were pathetic worms.
“Is he really that ordinary looking Immortal Master Chen?”
Qi Mufeng and the other elders looked at each other with shock and disbelief.
However, as soon as they heard that Chen Fan intended to accept Qi Xiu’er’s as his disciple, a broad smile was spread over his face. Their eldest daughter had always been their greatest pride, and never did they expect their second daughter to achieve any greatness.
Once the Eastern River Sect got word of this, its Ancestral Patriarch, Earth Level Deity Donghe, gave the order for his disciples to never to step into Qishan City.
Chen Fan’s ruthlessness frightened the Eastern River Sect. What they heard about Chen Fan sent a chill down their spines. Those who had shouted and claimed for Chen Fan’s death changed their stance to silence out of fear.
Meanwhile, many people looked toward the Yuntian Palace and the Seven Exalted Sects. Chen Fan had executed seven of their overlords, how would they respond to such brazen provocation?
“This boy is dead! The Seven Exalted Sects will have their revenge.”
Many people shook their heads as they lamented Chen Fan’s impending downfall.
They were convinced that if Chen Fan couldn’t hold out against the ire of the Seven Exalted Sects, his success story would be a very short one.
Leiyin Mountain…
A scrawny and old monk had been sitting before a ten meter tall Buddha statue. When he heard about the news, he jumped out of his seat with such force that his movement shook the mountain.
The old monk had wide eyes filled with fury as he fumed. “Chen Beixuan killed my beloved disciple, I will make him pay!”
Many elders of the sect who had been sitting around him rose to their feet to swear vengeance against Chen Fan.
Inside a Dojo at the Azure Mystic Sect…
A Taoist wearing an azure robe decorated with sword motifs slowly opened up his eyes. His eyebrows were the color of jade and the sharp light glinting in his eyes could sever anything in the world.
“Chen Beixuan? I’ve never heard of this name before.
“I think it’s about time for me to visit the world once again.”
The powerhouses at the Mixed-Essence Sect, Fentian Valley and the Das.h.i.+ Sect were all furious and shocked after they heard the news.
Meanwhile, inside the largest sect in Kunxu, the Yuntian Palace…
A white-beard elder roared inside the central hall, “Punishment, we need to punish him for his crime! a.s.semble the sages! If eight are not enough, we will gather eighty! We will set him as an example for those who dare to step on our toes.”
Yuntian Palace had suffered the greatest casualties during the incident.
The death of Exalted Immortal Lingxiao was the least of the Yuntian Palace’s concerns; the loss of the Thearch’s Son was the true devastating blow to the Yuntian Palace. The Thearch’s Son was being groomed to be the next sect master and even his partic.i.p.ation in the compet.i.tion was meant to raise his prestige by defeating his peers. He was destined to lead the entire Kunxu for the next five hundred years. However, Chen Fan had shattered their plan into smithereens.
Cloud Heaven Thearch sat at the head of the table with a severe face and cold glinting eyes.
“Chen Beixuan is so powerful that I think only our sect master is able to bring him to justice,” a young Earth Level Deity shook his head and lamented.
“Then so be it. Let’s rally the leaders and elders of all the sects to join us with their treasures,” the white-bearded elder said.
