Chapter 935 - Startle Everyone (2/2)
The Heavenly Lord Families had gotten used to the safety at the top of the food chain. This sense of safety had turned into complacency and arrogance. They believed that no one could ever harm them, since any affront would imply going against a Heavenly Lord.
In their eyes, Chen Fan was no more important than a servant. They would forever pin Chen Fan under their thumb as long as he wasn’t a Heavenly Lord.
“Insolence! He defeated Ancestral Uncle Feng, and now he is after our entire family?”
“Turn on the Grand Array and summon my legions. Let’s show him the might of a Heavenly Lord Family.”
“I agree! We can’t take his insult.”
Many Feng family members and elders fumed.
The third elder Feng Wushang stepped forward and asked, “My lord, what should we do?”
“We will teach Chen Beixuan a lesson if he shows up,” Ninth Elder Feng Wuyan also put in hotly.
A Heavenly Lord Family would enjoy mustering a heavy clout in any region.
Although none of them were Chen Fan’s worthy opponents, the situation would greatly favor them if the battlefield was on their Ancestral ground. Over the last ten thousand years, the Feng family had set many secret arrays and traps all over the Ancestral ground. This would even deter a Heavenly Lord from entering.
Someone sneered and said, “I don’t even think he’s smart enough to locate our Ancestral ground.”
Despite their fear for Chen Fan’s power, they were confident in their defense.
“An Ancestral Chief from the Feng family tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate Chen Beixuan with a Heavenly Treasure!”
“Chen Beixuan overpowered a Heavenly Treasure with his bare hands and defeated both Feng Ziqiu and Heavenly Blade of Obliteration.”
“Chen Beixuan is heading toward the Feng family territory now.”
Many cultivators followed this battle and they spread the news all over the Beihuang region.
That battle had been so epic that some people called it the battle of heaven.
The two had leveled mountains and changed the course of the river, laying waste to a large swath of land in the State of Ancient Medicine. Everyone who witnessed the battle felt they were watching a fight between two G.o.ds.
“Chen Beixuan’s power has far exceeded any Golden Core Cultivator. He could easily crush Ancestral Patriarchs as if they were insects.”
“Since when did our Beihuang homeland produce such a mighty figure? He reminds me of Jun Aochen and Li Huaixian who sat at the top of the Longevity Roll.”
“Not even a Heavenly Treasure was able to subdue him.”
Countless people marveled at Chen Fan’s power.
Meanwhile, the news filled the Perfected Cultivator Xuannu and the Sanshan Sect Master with fear. Moments before, they had been calculating their next move, wondering if they should put Fang Yan into confinement as they had promised.
At the moment they hoped that they could jail Fang Yan for ten thousand years just in case Chen Fan decided to extend the punishment to everyone related to Fang Yan on a whim.
A lot of cultivators were floored, overwhelmed with fear after hearing that Chen Fan had gone after the Feng family.
“Heavenly Lord Families have lorded over the Beihuang Region for ten thousand years. No one would ever dare to ruffle their feathers. I think Chen Beixuan’s action is too much.”
“Just so. Heavenly Lord Families are powerful forces to be reckoned with.”
“It’s too early to say that. Chen Beixuan could ward off the attack of a Heavenly Treasure, he might be able to bring the Feng family to their knees.”
Everyone focused their attention on the Feng family.
The Heavenly Lord Family had stayed in the seat of power for too long; many people rooted for Chen Fan, wanting to see the families fall.
However, even the most optimistic person thought that Chen Fan could at most force the Feng family to apologize; eliminating the whole family would be too optimistic a plan. They thought no one could do that, not even the w.a.n.g family’s Heavenly Lord.
Meanwhile, the air in the Alchemy Guild was filled with a mix of complicated feelings.
Elder Situ and the Guild Master both fell into deep thoughts.
A long sigh was heard coming from the Wu family territory in Zhenhai City.
“Atta boy! He’s going to rule the Beihuang Region from now on.”
The Wu family sisters grew silent after hearing this.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan was closely following the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration.
Swis.h.!.+
The dark wash of light ripped across the sky. It’s sharp tip easily penetrated the air as it reached ten times the speed of sound.
However Chen Fan was hot on its heels. Each step he took summoned a golden path under his foot. The path even led Chen Fan into the Dimensional Storm, but it remained closely behind the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration.
“d.a.m.n it!” Feng Ziqiu screamed in his mind.
He didn’t expect to fail, much less the annihilation of his body. His Divine Soul had sustained heavy injuries so he was forced to turtle inside the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration. He would never fully recover his power, but survival was his top priority at the moment.
“Chen Beixuan, you have ruined my cultivation. I will make you pay for this!”
Hatred burned more intensely in his eyes. He doubled down on his escape and disappeared into thin air.
Chen Fan stopped and looked into the distance.
He saw a great city on a mountain above the clouds. A dark wash of light flickered and flew into the city.
It was the City of Neverwind, the home city of the Feng family.
