Chapter 1039 - Everyones Contempt (1/2)

The man with a beard was a Golden Core Cultivator who was enveloped in bolts of azure lightning. When he was angry, his power was terrifying. Lightning struck and dozens of the surrounding trees were blown to pieces. Many more azure thunderbolts surrounded the man.

Chen Fan felt as if there were a mountain above him. All the plants in dozens of feet around him seemed to have been smashed by an invisible hand, and the terrifying energy even became concrete, making the air freeze.

“Hm?”

Chen Fan frowned with discontent in his eyes.

The man might be powerful for Fu Qiang and the girl in a red gown, but he was just a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator to Chen Fan. His energy was like a breeze and couldn’t even move Chen Fan’s clothes. Chen Fan didn’t want anything to do with him at first. After all, he had killed thousands of Golden Core Cultivators on Planet Tianhuang, but the man was apparently determined to go against him.

“Buzz!”

The flying sword behind Chen Fan let out some blurry azure light which surrounded him. Some Sword Qi surged out and formed an invisible s.h.i.+eld a few feet around him, blocking all the oppressive energy.

“Interesting.”

The man with a beard was shocked.

He knew how fierce and terrifying his gaze was. Many disciples in the sect would tremble when he stared at them. Was this weak Connate Cultivator unaffected by it? When the man was about to put more pressure on Chen Fan, Fu Qiang quickly said, “Officer Ding, stop. He saved our lives before. He’s definitely not the murderer.”

Under the pressure from Fu Qiang, the girl in a red gown also gave her explanation.

“Hm?”

The man with the beard was Officer Ding. He didn’t care about Fu Qiang as he was just a disciple of an outer sect elder, although things would be different if his Master, Perfected Cultivator Pofa, was present. However, the girl in a red gown was supported by a superior Ancestral Patriarch of the Spirit Husbandry Sect.

“I’m glad you’re okay.”

Officer Ding smiled.

He glanced over the dozens of dead bodies of the Tree Monsters on the ground and saw that they had been killed by a flying sword that went right through their hearts. He was a bit shocked. Officer Ding knew Fu Qiang and the girl didn’t practice Sword Arts.

“We were trapped by these Tree Monsters and we had used up all our talismans. We also let out the rescue fireworks and could only wait for someone to save us. If this man didn’t come and kill those Tree Monsters, we may not have survived until you came,” Fu Qiang explained.

“He knows such a powerful Sword Art?”

Officer Ding sized Chen Fan up and couldn’t believe it.

Fu Qiang was just a Core Formation Cultivator, so he would certainly think Chen Fan was worth recruiting. And yet, Officer Ding was already a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator and was only half a step away from becoming a peak-stage Golden Core Grand Perfected Cultivator. Once they reached such a level, Golden Cores below the fifth grade were nothing to him. Even if Chen Fan’s Sword Arts were comparable to Sword Art Perfected Cultivators, those were just Sword Arts after all.

Officer Ding could blow up everything in a ten mile range with a Thunder Art if he wanted; it wasn’t a big deal no matter how strong Chen Fan’s Sword Arts were.

That was why Officer Ding only nodded at Chen Fan indifferently, but was very concerned about the girl.

“Brother Fu, Sister Zhang, are you two all right?”

Then—

A few rays of light came from afar.

Those were the disciples of the Spirit Husbandry Sect. It was indeed one of the three large sects on Heavenly Jupiter. The Connate Cultivators among the disciples had powerful Dharma Power and a great foundation, which surpa.s.sed normal Connate Cultivators. As for the Golden Core Cultivators, their Golden Cores were basically above the fifth grade. The young man in white outfit who was leading the rescue group seemed to have a superior-grade Golden Core.

“Senior.”

Seeing that young man, even Fu Qiang and Officer Ding bowed immediately.

“Hm.”

The young man in white outfit was enveloped in layers of runes. He gave a quick glance at all the people present and only nodded gently when he saw Sister Zhang.

“If you’re okay, go to the Spirit Well quickly. Elder Sun is waiting for us,” said the young man.

“Brother Chen, this is our Senior, Qi Feng, who’s known as the ‘Perfected Cultivator of Spirit Runes.’ He’s good at using runes and secret arts. I’m sure you’ve heard about him,” Fu Qiang said with a smile after asking Chen Fan for his name, “The Spirit Well is about to open. Why don’t you come with us? It only opens to cultivators of the three large sects. If we go together, I’ll get a place for you as well.”

“No need.”

Chen Fan was about to shake his head.

The girl in a red gown said impatiently, “Brother Fu, let’s get going. The Spirit Well will be closed soon. We’ll miss the chance of enlightenment.” She glared at Chen Fan impatiently as she spoke.

Fu Qiang insisted, but Chen Fan shook his head, clearly uninterested.

“Hm, if he doesn’t come, it’s his loss. Only a limited number of cultivators can go into the Spirit Well each year and it’s guarded by the cultivators of the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect; other cultivators are forbidden entry. He’ll just waste his time if he goes there.”

The girl in a red gown grunted.

“Sister Zhang.”
