Chapter 421 - Raiding Hell Valley (2/2)
Zhuo Fan closed his eyes, tuning in to the natural symphony around him, of cries, wails, pleadings, slumping bodies in their own blood, forming a sweet melody to his ears and bringing an innocent and genial smile to his lips.
These sounds gave the signal for the Luo clan’s expansion, Luo clan’s march to rule them all with an iron fist.
It was what he had hoped and aimed for. This goal of his was finally taking shape…
Meanwhile, a stone gate flew open as a bloody and filthy Hell Valley disciple plopped inside, blood gurgling from his throat.
The four elders inside cried, “What is going on out there?”
“Enemy… attack…” The disciple gave his very life uttering those two words. His head slumped, his life gone.
All that remained were eyes filled with horror, further unnerving the men.
“This is absurd! Just what the hell is going on? Who are the ignorant fools that dare set foot in Hell Valley?” The leader roared.
Another said, “But why has there been no reaction from the array? Has it been breached?”
The four panicked. It had to be done swiftly for these elders to not notice until now that they had been invaded.
[What power must’ve done this?]
The four released their Discerning Fields.
Their mind’s eye view had them all gasping.
They saw a swarm of people shouting as they killed anyone they saw. Their ten thousand disciples couldn’t muster a token of resistance against a meager few thousand.
The four’s senses looked further and noticed two men on a hill.
One was in the 3rd layer of Profound Heaven Stage and was ignored, turning to the peak Radiant Stage expert next to him. The four men felt like crying.
The number of peak Radiant Stage experts in Tianyu could be counted on one hand. How come one of them has come to Hell Valley?
The High Venerable was in the 5th layer while the rest were only in the 4th. Not even together could they hope to beat that freak.
“For god’s sake, who the hell is it? Regent Estate or imperial family? What did we do to have them wipe us out?” One complained.
High Venerable shook his head, “No, Valley Lord said we’re still allied with Regent Estate. As for the imperial family, it’s now stuck dealing with problems cropping up in the last thousand years. It won’t come. And that Radiant Stage expert’s aura feels familiar…”
“High Venerable, do you know him?” The rest shouted.
High Venerable shuddered and sighed, “How could I ever forget? We all know him. Didn’t we witness him clashing with Huangpu Fenglei on the eve of the Luo clan’s ceremony?”
“Mad Dipper?” They all cried.
High Venerable nodded depressed, “What’s worse, what other Profound Heaven expert do you know of who stands by his side? It’s Zhuo Fan, that demonic steward of Luo clan. We all saw him taking Li Jingtian and Huangpu Fenglei’s all out attacks like nothing. We have no hope of winning!”
The other three’s hearts sunk to the bottom, their faces ashen.
They couldn’t even handle one of them.
The four old men felt like weeping.
[Zhuo Fan has finally struck! We get it that you have to attack at some point, but why come to us? Wasn’t the Regent Estate always against you at every turn?]
[We’ve already lost enough elders to you, so why come back for more? Think we’re pushovers now, is that it?]
They all felt like heaven had beset them with the greatest grief in the world.
But reality came knocking and they had to man up to the danger.
High Venerable’s eyes flashed with resolve, “Old third, you are the fastest. Fly to Valley Lord and report the situation. We three will buy you time.”
“Elder brother!” Old third teared up.
But High Venerable nodded with a reassuring smile.
Zhuo Fan had his eyes turned to the source of those Discerning Fields, “Oh, four senses have picked us up. So what’s taking those geezers so long to come out? Are they scared and huddled together?”
“He-he-he, totally!” Li Jingtian laughed…
