Chapter 923 - The Heavenly Lord Families Gathered (1/2)

The news about Chen Fan’s appearance outside Medicine City had circulated around the Beihuang Region.

Meanwhile, everywhere was weirdly peaceful. Although Chen Fan had become famous across the Heavenly Regions after the battle at Linjiang City, everyone knew that the Heavenly Lord Families wouldn’t just let him get away with it.

“The Heavenly Lord Families wanted to take away Chen Beixuan’s t.i.tle of Elixir Monarch and lock him up so he would make pills for all the families, but they didn’t know he would be so powerful. Even in the entire Beihuang Region, only a few people can fight with him. Their plan has failed,” someone said.

“Not necessarily. The power of the Heavenly Lord Families is way beyond our imagination. They have a history of thousands of years and we have no idea how many terrifying forces they have. Hu Xiao, Feng Yuqiu and Ancestral Patriarchs like Wu Wendin are part of them. Who knows how many more of these cultivators they’re hiding?”

Another old man shook his head.

The young cultivators were completely in awe of Chen Fan’s power and they regarded him as the strongest cultivator among the younger generation.

But the older generation was worried.

The Heavenly Lord Families had ruled over the Beihuang Region for countless years. Those super families like the Hu family and the Feng family weren’t just good at making pills like the Alchemy Guild. They had certain battling power and resources, which were strong enough to shake the entire Beihuang Region.

“The fact that Chen Beixuan defeated w.a.n.g Xuanlong and the others isn’t really that impressive.

“The elites of the Longevity Roll can’t represent the most powerful Overlords. Only those under five hundred years old can be listed, but the level and Divine Powers of all cultivators keep increasing as they grow older. So, how powerful would the Golden Core Ancestral Patriarchs, who have lived two thousand years, be? n.o.body’s sure about that.”

“Chen Beixuan is being too reckless.”

Many people sighed.

In fact, a crisis soon arrived.

On the fourth day Chen Fan arrived at Medicine City.

Even though the entire Medicine City was still closed off, the mountain outside the city was flooded with people. Countless cultivators came from all around the Beihuang Region.

Some went to ask to become his disciples, some only went to see him and other wanted him to make medicines for them.

But whatever they wanted, they all claimed that they were the disciples of some Ancestral Patriarchs or that their parents were the elders of a Heavenly Sect so they weren’t afraid of the Heavenly Lord Families at all. As long as Chen Fan promised to make medicines for them, they could protect him.

While Lin Wuhua was about to mock those bluffing cultivators.

“Boom!”

A beam of purple light struck down from the sky.

A claw as large as a mountain went towards Chen Fan. It was covered with scales and looked like a real claw. Countless cultivators were terrified.

This attack had apparently been made by an Overlord of the Longevity Roll who was as powerful as w.a.n.g Xuanlong and Lichen.

“Who’s that?”

Zhao Juexian widened his eyes and the thousand-foot python flew from his back towards the giant hand.

When Zhao Juexian was about to attack, a ray of black light was shot three feet away from Chen Fan. n.o.body had expected it to appear behind Chen Fan all of a sudden.

Not even Zhao Juexian noticed it, as if it had come from another world.

“Boom!”

After the black light appeared, a terrifying energy filled the world. Everyone felt like they had returned to the battle at Linjiang when the “Dragon’s Bane” had been awakened.

“A Quasi-Heavenly Treasure?”

Zhao Juexian turned around in shock.

Such a power was comparable to the attack of Long Hua and Lichen. It was apparently another cultivator on the Longevity Roll who had a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure.

“Go to h.e.l.l!”

A skinny old man in a black outfit showed up. The beam of black light in his hand was only a foot long, but it was s.h.i.+ning brightly and could tear the sky apart.

The old man smirked and attacked Chen Fan.

He was too fast and no one could respond in time. The Divine Souls of the Wu family sisters, the three girls and Situ Cheng were frozen before they could even turn around. Only Zhao Juexian noticed him, but it was too late. The black light in the old man’s hand was only a few inches away from Chen Fan’s back.

“You killed my descendants. I’m going to take your life to avenge them.”

The black light was getting closer.

Three inches, two inches, one inch. It was about to penetrate Chen Fan’s body.

While the old man opened his eyes wide and his mind was full of viciousness—

Suddenly.

A crystal clear hand appeared behind Chen Fan and two of its fingers pinched the black light gently so it couldn’t go further.

“What?”

The old man looked up.

He found that Chen Fan had already turned around and was looking at him indifferently.

“Who are you? Why are you attacking me?”

Bang!

The skinny old man tried to escape, but Chen Fan’s fingers held the black light tightly. In the end, a dagger made of iron which looked like a snake appeared.

“How is that possible? The G.o.d-killing Thorn is one of our Quasi-Heavenly Treasures. It was used to injure a Heavenly Lord and is extremely sharp. Ordinary people can already tear the sky apart using it. How can this man grab the G.o.d-killing Thorn with his bare hand?”

The old man’s eyes popped out.

“Answer me!”

Chen Fan shot out beams of light from his eyes.

“Ask that again in h.e.l.l!”
