Chapter 158: A Man, Not a Youth

The few famous personages of the Ji Family had ugly expressions on their faces, especially Ji Hui, the fingers hidden within the sleeves of her dress were actually trembling lightly.

Within the Southern Region, who dared to address the Ji Family in such a manner? It had been so many years since someone had the gall to do so. However, a youth of barely fifteen years of age had actually dared to insult them, how could they bear with this humiliation?

Right now, the Peacock King had also appeared as he stood together with the youth, saying the same words causing everyone to clench their fists.

Even so, they simply could not vent themselves. Who was the Peacock King? He was a great exponent of the demonic race, arrogantly looking down on all within the Southern Region, even the sacred leader of the Ji Family was unable to restrain him, who could possibly match up against him?

More importantly, if they were to agitate Ye Fan, he would immediately transmit the Great Void Technique to the entire city, this would be a calamity for the Ji Family. The few famous personages of the Ji Family could not advance nor retreat, their hearts were filled with aggrievement as they hesitated.

At the back, the youths of the Ji Family were infuriated as the visage of Ye Fan was carved in their minds, he was the number one person on their must-kill list, the common enemy of all the youths.

Although the youths were hot blooded and rash, no one dared to move a single inch forward as the entire area was shrouded in silence.

There were many cultivators within the large city, some were mere passersby while others actually stayed here, their mouths were currently dry from the shocking scene before them.

How many years had it been? The Ji Family had always been high above the masses, an existence that was looked up to without anyone daring to question them. Within the Eastern Badlands, who dared to aggravate them? Who dared to recklessly badmouth them?

Today, they had actually been insulted openly, this was simply too shocking and inconceivable as the crowd looked up into the sky.

“The Peacock King engaged in a great battle with the leader of Twinkling Brilliance Sacred Ground eight hundred years ago, he is a fearless individual and it’s no surprise that he dares to aggravate the Ji Family. However, what background does that youth Ye Fan have? He actually dares to do so as well. Also, the Ji Family seem to be hesitant, could there be some incredible backing?”

“Another person dares to challenge the authority of the Ji Family, who knows whether he will be able to continue living on. Over the countless years, there were also audacious individuals but they only had tragic outcomes, no one was able to truly shake up an ancient aristocratic family.”

“Back off a step and the sky will be clear, bear for a moment and all will be calm, I’m afraid he won’t have anywhere to continue living……”

“What would you know? A person like the Peacock King is known throughout the Southern Region, if he were to back off, he would no longer be worthy of the title Peacock King. As for that youth, it is likely that he is someone of similar calibre, he could even be a senior great exponent.”

At this moment, Ye Fan had become the centre of attention. Not only had his name been remembered by all, even his looks had been deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone.

From today onwards, there was simply no way for him to remain obscure and low profile.

At this moment, he was actually standing side by side with the Peacock King, many people felt that they were people of the same calibre, besides the people who were in the know, the others actually imagined him to be some peerless expert.

“Still not getting out of my sight? Haven’t you heard me clearly enough?”

The words of the Peacock King were not sharp but rather calm and indifferent, however, it made one’s heart palpitate. He had dominated the Southern Region eight hundred years ago and was clearly even more terrifying now.

“Peacock King, you are a senior great exponent, the few of us aren’t a match for you but there’s no reason for you to be so arrogant……” Ji Hui’s face was pale as she slowly spoke, not daring to be overly aggressive.

At the back, the others were gritting their teeth. An ancient aristocratic family had mobilised their forces but was now in such a pitiful state, this was a really rare scene. Even so, no one dared to act out, if they were to aggravate the person before them, it was very likely that they would all have to leave their lives behind.

What was a great exponent? He was someone who could command the clouds and rain, covering the sky with a single hand. He was an existence who stood at the pinnacle looking down on all others, once he acted, mountains and rivers would move.

Ji Hui waved her hand as the mass of people began to slowly retreat, they were filled with a fiery indignation as they slowly moved off into the distance.

“Take your time, I won’t be sending you off!” Ye Fan transmitted.

A superpower that had lasted since ancient times, being commanded to leave in such a fashion was indeed infuriating and humiliating. However, they simply didn’t have a choice, otherwise, if the Peacock King felt like it, he could kill them without leaving a single person behind.

The only reason why the Peacock King had not acted was because he also had his concerns, if he were to recklessly kill without care for any consequences, the large number of demons within the Southern Region would also be swept up in a storm of blood, creating a bloody river in this region.

In the city below, everyone was exchanging glances. The people of the Ji Family had been forced to retreat, the events of today would surely spread throughout the entire Southern Region.

“Not bad, you’ve got some guts.” The Peacock King turned to look at Ye Fan as he laughed.

Ye Fan found it difficult to smile, it was his last resort and he had been planning to go down with the Ji Family in an attempt to find a sliver of hope.

It was at this moment when the Peacock King suddenly appeared, freeing him from the immediate danger, in the long term however, he was still in an extremely precarious situation.

One had to know that the Peacock King was a great exponent of the demonic race, he was already enemies with the Ji Family and Twinkling Brilliance Sacred Ground, there was no difference whether he acted or not.

“Many thanks to senior for helping junior!” Ye Fan went forward to pay his respects.

“No big deal, don’t worry about it.” The Peacock King smiled before continuing: “I believe you don’t have any other options, why not follow me?”

Currently, Ye Fan was really stuck in a rut. He could only choose to follow the Peacock King, otherwise, if the Ji Family chose to come back again, the same scenario would repeat itself.

Multicoloured lights shot forth in all directions as a mysterious and shrouded path swiftly extended to the horizon. The Peacock King brought him along as they swiftly disappeared into the distance.

After their departure, the city below was in a clamor. Several cultivators rushed to the sky, the events of today was simply too shocking.

At the distant horizon, the people of the Ji Family were tightly clenching their fists, some people were howling to the sky as they vented their anger.

In an ordinary state within a remote mountainous region, the area was already burnt black without a single living vegetation. Not long ago, the Peacock King had a great battle with Nan Gongyin causing this area to be razed to the ground.

Ye Fan did not think that the Peacock King would actually stay hidden within this area, going further into the remote mountainous region as they left this burnt region behind, advancing another five hundred Li before finally reaching their destination.

Up ahead, the mountains were precipitous, it could not be considered exceptionally beautiful but clouds and mist swirled, there were many rivers and even waterfalls could be seen in abundance.

Not far away was a small dwarf mountain, it was not eye-catching and seemed bald with a small amount of vines encompassing it.

The Peacock King stopped as he stretched his hand forward causing the sky to suddenly be filled with stars as it suddenly began to press downwards. A gentle glow could be seen as a door suddenly appeared from within the stone mountain. Ye Fan went forward as he followed the Peacock King into a dim passageway.
