832 Controlling the Dimension (1/2)
In Zhuyan City, part of the Beihan Region.
Chen Fan was wearing a black robe and his black hair was loose. He seemed to be an ordinary person walking across the moat. He had been away for five months. Zhuyan City didn't look very much different. Countless people walked past him and he saw some cultivators on the way.
Still, all those cultivators had serious looks and seemed to be in a hurry, as if they were afraid of something.
Chen Fan arrived at the Mu family mansion. He was here to say goodbye to some of his friends in Zhuyan City before continuing his journey to the place where the Chinese had gathered. However, Chen Fan found the mansion in ruins.
”What's going on?”
Chen Fan frowned.
He asked a random person.
”You don't know? A group of guards of the royal city came five months ago. They killed the Ancestral Patriarch of the Mu family and imprisoned the rest. I heard that none of their descendants escaped. It was awful!”
The man who was dressed like a student heaved a sigh.
”What?”
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows.
Zhuyan City was only a small city and there were thousands more like it in the entire Beihan Region. Why would the Overlords of the royal city travel all the way here to deal with the Mu family?
He had a feeling he had something to do with it, but he wasn't sure.
”I saw what happened with my own eyes. Not only the Mu family, all the cultivation families in Zhuyan City, including the Yun family, the Wu family and the Zhang family were captured. Their Connate Ancestral Patriarchs had barely gotten out of the Juehan Mountain Range, but they ended up being killed by the royal city guards. The entire Zhuyan City was flooded with blood and dead bodies were all over the place. Countless cultivators were caught, filling several flying ships.”
The student shook his head.
”Even the Zhang family and the Wu family were caught?” Chen Fan hesitated. ”Do you know why?”
It might be because of him if they had only taken Mu Hongti's family, but the Zhang family hated him. Why would they also catch them?
”I'm not sure. I heard that the royal city is looking for a Chinese man, but how would there be a Chinese person in this small city? Is that a joke? Most Chinese people are staying in Old China Town, which is more than ten thousand miles away from here…”
The student suddenly glanced at Chen Fan's face and froze.
”A… A Chinese?”
Chen Fan immediately used his Immortal Will and secret arts to wipe this conversation away from the student's mind. He could easily twist all the memories of an ordinary person.
When the student woke up, Chen Fan had already left. He shook his head and continued his way to school with his lunchbox.
”Was it because of what I did to Zhao Qingchen? Looks like I've underestimated the royal family,”Chen Fan said coldly to himself.
Even though he didn't really know Mu Hongti, that girl had given him the information about the elders of the Qingyang Sect and warned him on several occasions. Chen Fan would always return a favor.
”If you're killed by Lord Beihan, I'll slaughter a thousand cultivators of the royal family,” Chen Fan pondered.
He arrived at the headquarters of the Golden Crow after taking a few steps. This building was a hundred feet tall, and there were two giant Golden Crows at the entrance.
”Who's that?”
All the guards at the gate were Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivators.
But Chen Fan ignored them and went directly to a dungeon dozens of meters underground. He sensed someone he knew was inside.
”Perfected Cultivator Chen?”
Old Ding, who had been chained up, got up excitedly when he saw Chen Fan.
”Who are you? How dare you break into the dungeon of the Golden Crow? Don't you know this is a forbidden area?” There were five unfamiliar Divine Sea Cultivators guarding the dungeon. All of them looked serious. However, Chen Fan had never seen them in the Golden Crow before.
The Golden Crow had only two Divine Sea Cultivators; their Sect Master and Old Ding. These five people were almost as powerful as the cultivation families.
”Shut up!”
Chen Fan flicked his fingers.
An invisible energy surged and killed four of them. The last guard was terrified and was about to take out his Dharma Treasure to escape.
”You think you can run away from me?”
Chen Fan grunted.
He solidified all the Essence Qi in a hundred feet like a piece of iron without even moving. Dozens of guards, including the running Divine Sea Cultivators, were smashed immediately. A Golden Core Perfected Cultivator could control the Essence Qi with his Immortal Will and kill like a God.
”Greetings, Perfected Cultivator.”
Old Ding bowed with tears covering his face.
He had lived miserably during those days. He thought he would end up dying inside the dungeon, so he had never expected to see Chen Fan again.
”What happened? I was gone for a few months and Zhuyan City became like this? Even Mu Hongti was caught.” Chen Fan pointed at the chains around Old Ding's limbs and the Spirit Light immediately disappeared. Old Ding could then break them easily.
”The White Python Guards did all this,” Old Ding explained.
