Chapter 998 - Completing the Solitary Cultivation (1/2)

Over a dozen Heavenly Lord Demon Commanders flocked to the Deity ground to bring Chen Fan down.

This news had been spread all over Tianhuang and therefore attracted many cultivators to the area. Even those listed on the Longevity Roll wanted to witness the momentous battle, unprecedented on the Tianhuang Planet.

However, their focus was neither on Chen Fan nor on his opponent; instead, they wanted to see Chen Fan’s servant girl and Shenxi.

“Someone saw them at the southeast corner of the fifty-ninth floor. But I’ve also heard that Goddess Shenxi was called back by Heavenly Lord Xuhuang,” Gu Xiaoyi said with a smile.

“How arrogant of him to remain in Ancient Demons Loch!”

Xiao Hong’s eyelid twitched a little, while paired with a sneer.

At least seven Heavenly Sects had issued a manhunt order for Lin Wuhua. Anyone who managed to kill her would get a superior-grade Spirit treasure as reward. If she was captured alive, the captor would receive a one-time favor from a Heavenly Lord. The reward was too great to pass up; countless cultivators flocked to the Ancient Demons Loch.

However powerful Lin Wuhua was, she would be overwhelmed by the unending waves of onslaught.

“It seemed that they wished to break into level sixty, so that they could use the Ancient Demons to stop the attackers.” Jun Aochen nodded as the battling spirit flared in his eyes.

“It has been four months since Chen Beixuan entered the deity ground. He has been turtling there ever since, despite Mount Emperor’s insistent aggressions. They don’t believe he’s unaware of his situation. Ancestral Patriarch Fudu ordered his disciples to shout at the deity ground every day,” Gu Xiaoyi said, shaking his head.

“Humph! I think Chen Beixuan is afraid.”

Xiao Hong sneered.

At the moment, even Jun Aochen remained silent.

Chen Beixuan!

This was the name that belonged to the man who took Tianhuang by storm. He slaughtered Heavenly Lords and Demon Commanders, forcing the ten Heavenly Lords to intervene. Any of those deeds could make a man famous, but he had done all of them.

Jun Aochen knew that all the Qinhe Towers across Tianhuang were packed with cultivators, eagerly waiting for news from the front line.

Even if Chen Fan was able to break through the encirclement of the ten Heavenly Lords, he would still have to face Mount Emperor.

“I bet he’s going to chicken out. He must know how dire the situation is. Ten Heavenly Lords and five Demon Commanders are hot on his heels. If I were him, I wouldn’t come out ever again.”

A senior cultivator sneered.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

It wasn’t that Chen Fan had become weaker, it was the power of his enemies that had made them doubt Chen Fan. Ancestral Patriarch Fudu, Heavenly Lord Shenyan, Tianxuan Sword Master and Heavenly Lord Shenyan, each one of them possessed world shattering strength.

Chen Fan had indeed killed Hongyang, but he wouldn’t stand a chance before the combined might of the ten heavenly lords.

“Rumor has it that Mount Emperor has slaughtered all the connate cultivators of the Chinese race. Despite its small size and meager influence, the Chinese have been truly resilient, never surrendering to their Essence Core enemies. I’ve heard that the Grand Elder of the Chinese race is the only Connate Cultivator left among them. It would only be a matter of time for Mount Emperor to find him and kill him.”

Another cultivator said with a sigh, “It’s going to be a massacre. The Heavenly Lords are too much for the average civilians.”

A young cultivator stood up and shouted, “If I were Chen Beixuan, I would storm Mount Emperor to avenge the dead!”

A cultivator from the Ghost Underworld Sect said with a gloating smile, “Humph! Chen Beixuan has been quiet for four months now. I bet he already ran away. He must be aware of the situation outside. Well, I don’t blame him, he’d be doomed if he stayed.”

To that, some people shook their heads in disagreement; some were indifferent, and some shared his gloating sentiment.
