Chapter 1071 - The Enemy (1/2)
“The Dark Races weren’t the only ones who attacked the North Qiong Sect!” What A’Xiu said astonished everyone else.
Even Tang Yifei and Chu Minhui widened their eyes. That was completely different according to the information they had received. According to A’Xiu, six years before, the world had just started changing and the Spirit Qi had just been restored.
All the members of the North Qiong Sect and the Deities in the Realm of Kunxu felt something was wrong.
In the end, Chen Huaian predicted with the “Thunder Soul Refinement Art” that the world was going to change and great danger was on its way, so he sent most members of the Chen family and ordinary people like Fang Qiong’s parents to the Realm of Kunxu, where they would be guarded by Lu Yanxue. They thought the cultivators of the alien races like the Mayans might visit Earth, traveling all the way from their home planets through the Path of Heaven.
Chen Huaian, Fang Qiong and A’Xiu had already prepared for it.
If they couldn’t defeat the enemies, they would immediately escape to the Realm of Kunxu and block the Mayan fleet with the ancient array there. However, all of them suddenly disappeared.
That is, including Chen Huaian, Fang Qiong, Chen Fan’s parents, Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa, Hua Yunfeng, Xie Yan, Yu Wenjin…
All of them disappeared from the face of the Earth all of a sudden. Not even spy satellites or specialized cameras were able to find them.
“We wondered if the Overlords of the alien races came from their home planets and took them away, but it doesn’t seem possible after thinking it through. The array didn’t even give us a warning back then. That was the array you formed. No Golden Core Cultivator could attack it,” A’Xiu said and she was still in shock.
According to her, she was the only one who made it to the Realm of Kunxu, so she stayed there and refused to see other people who were related to Chen Fan. At the same time, many people, like Ye Qincang and top Overlords of the large sects, also went missing.
“It happened on December 31st, 2020.” A’Xiu said.
“Master Cangqin…”
Chen Fan lowered his head in shock.
December 31st, 2020.
It was the time when he got drunk and fell from a building. That night, he and Fang Qiong were taken away by Master Cangqin and they were gone for five centuries.
Chen Fan could understand why Ye Qincang, Hua Yunfeng and Xie Yan were taken away.
Every time Master Cangqin went to a planet, he would select many talented cultivators as a backup for the True Martial Celestial Sect. Even Chen Fan spoke highly of Ye Qincang’s talent and thought he would be able to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator or even a Soul Formation Cultivator if he went to the Star Ocean.
However, Chen Fan’s parents, Sister An and Xu Rongfei didn’t have any cultivation talent at all. Why did he take them away?
A thought came to Chen Fan’s mind, “Wait, is it because they practice the cultivation arts of the True Martial Celestial Sect?”
Xu Rongfei, Sister An, w.a.n.g Xiaoyun and Chen Gexin might not be talented, but they practiced the real “True Martial Divine Art,” the core cultivation art of the True Martial Celestial Sect. So, it also made sense if Master Cangqin decided to take them too.
After thinking of this, Chen Fan was relieved.
Aside from other sects, the True Martial Celestial Sect was too large, so there were disciples or Grand Cultivators dying and reincarnating from time to time.
So, whenever they saw other cultivators practicing their own cultivation arts, they wouldn’t kill them right away. They would try to trace the origin and see if they had been pa.s.sed down by their own Grand Cultivators. If they didn’t find Chen Fan, they would never do anything to Xu Rongfei, Sister An and the others. Otherwise, if Chen Fan really was a Grand Cultivator of their own, they would definitely be punished.
But Sister An and the others would still be watched closely in the True Martial Celestial Sect.
“Phew, that’s great. They’ll never do anything to my parents as long as I hide my ident.i.ty. Besides, Xiao Qiong has become one of them and is an important disciple. She’ll be able to protect them.” Chen Fan took a deep breath.
“After that?” Chen Fan asked.
“Then, we started looking for everyone, but found nothing. Until one day, the Dark Races ambushed us. Later on, the Ancestral Patriarch of the Kindred put a curse on me since I killed several Connate Cultivators of the alien races. Then I ran back to the North Qiong Sect, but it had already collapsed. Countless disciples were killed… The entire East Mountain and the North Qiong Pavilion were destroyed…” A’Xiu said with hatred in her eyes; there was a hint of fear only Chen Fan was able to notice.
“Apart from the Dark Races, there were many mysterious human cultivators among those who attacked East Mountain.
“They were all very powerful and there were even a few Golden Core Cultivators among them. If it wasn’t for them, the array on East Mountain wouldn’t have been destroyed. I quickly took Chen Yaoyao and escaped to Jiang Bei when one of them hurt me. I’ve been investigating all these years and have confirmed the ident.i.ty of the Dark Races, but I still know nothing about those human cultivators.”
“Huh? Could they be Overlords from other countries or forces like the Christian Church and Dragon Tiger Mountain?”
Tang Yifei covered her mouth.
It was too earth-shattering. That was like a battle between humans. If the news was spread, the entire world would be stunned.
“That’s impossible. There weren’t many Connate Cultivators on Earth back then, but those humans were all Golden Core Cultivators. Their energy was unpredictable and their clothes were totally different from those on Earth. They seemed to be from other planets.” A’Xiu shook her head.
