Chapter 166 Tempest, Part Two (2/2)
The crow cries from within the eighth level of the Flame Region became louder and louder over the next few days.
Five days passed, and the copper furnace of the Ji Family’s powerful expert released a heaven-shaking sound, like thunder as it shook the sky. It could be heard clearly throughout the entire Flame Region.
But at this time, the eighth level’s cave released an angry yell and another nine pieces of snow white divine iron were thrown out.
“So annoying!!!”
The seven-colored mist surged, and a dazzling light exploded from within that cave, followed by an angry old Daoist.
His body was covered in black feathered clothing. He appeared only fifty or sixty, and due to his clothes made of feathers, he really did look like an old crow.
“Who was so unbridled while refining things that he shook the entire Flame Region?!” The old Daoist’s voice clearly passed throughout the Flame Region.
His anger surged and he directly flew up into the sky and towards the sixth level.
Ye Fan only managed to see a black light that immediately broke through the sky and descended into the sixth level.
A demon capable of refining in the eighth level was someone whose power would cause people’s scalps to turn numb!
“Who are you…?” the Ji Family’s powerful figure called out.
However, with loud booming sound, his words were cut off.
Ye Fan might not be able to see, but he could imagine the scene. The old demon was definitely a fierce person. Ye Fan really didn’t know just how far he would go.
BOOM!
A terrifying fluctuation exploded from the sixth level. Purple Qi soared into the sky, as if someone had sent it surging out.
“Why are you…!” This was the voice of the Ji Family’s powerful expert.
“You shook the entire Flame Region while refining, causing my divine bell to turn to trash. Explain that to me!” The old demon seemed to be completely infuriated now. “Originally, Daoists are not supposed to cause any trouble, but today I must relieve this anger!”
“What does your divine bell turning to trash have to do with me?” The Ji Family’s powerful figure seemed to become slightly apprehensive.
“If it weren’t for you and your irritating rumbling shaking the heavens and disturbing my mental state, how could it have turned to trash?! If I weren’t allowed to leave this place, I would have already come to find trouble with you!”
Ye Fan was listening from far away. He didn’t dare approach in case he was caught up in their disagreement.
“The Flame Region has no master. How could you possibly blame it on me? My Ji Family has never been afraid to be provoked!”
“You’re trying to remind me you’re from the Ji Family?” The old Daoist’s words were very cold. “Maybe if it was someone else I’d let them go, but someone from the Ji Family…”
Ye Fan was speechless. This old demon definitely had some kind of grievance with the Ji Family.
BOOM!
The sixth level immediately turned wild with purple Qi madly surging everywhere.
“They’ve begun to fight!” Ye Fan was startled, but he didn’t go closer. He knew those people had extremely sharp senses and he absolutely couldn’t approach.
Luckily, the five-colored mist had an engulfing power that prevented probing into it. Otherwise he might have already been noticed.
The energy fluctuations were absolutely terrifying, but they quickly calmed down, and there were no more sounds coming from there again.
“This fast…has the fight ended?”
“Back when this Daoist Crow was fighting your Ji Family’s sovereign, your grandfather had yet to be born…” A black light soared into the sky.
Ye Fan only saw a brief silhouette, but it truly did appear like a crow. The black feathered clothing and the wizened figure disappeared in an instant, directly leaving the Flame Region.
“Daoist Crow…” Seeing him disappear, Ye Fan entered into the sixth level.
That huge copper furnace had already disappeared. Most likely it had been taken by Daoist Crow.
The Ji Family’s expert’s corpse had been split apart and was now lying in a pool of blood. A dozen black feathers were stuck into the ground around him, actually blocking the purple flames away from them, not letting his body be burnt.
Ye Fan felt his blood turn cold. For him to be able to kill a powerful figure of the Ji Family just like this, how terrifying was that old crow?!
Although the body had been left behind, his divine sense was extinguished and he definitely would not be able to come back to life.
Ye Fan was absolutely speechless. A powerful expert was killed just like this? The cultivation world truly was cruel. Without reaching the peak, it was impossible to live forever.
He quickly calmed down and reached his hand down to grope around the corpse. After all, the remnants of a Ji Family’s expert definitely had treasures that were unordinary.
However, he was disappointed to find the corpse held no treasures. Whether it was the Wheel and Sea or the Dao Palace secret realms, they were all empty.
“That old crow truly was thorough. He must have taken everything.”
Seeing the dozen black feathers on the ground, his heart shook. Daoist Crow had obviously intentionally left them behind to provoke the Ji Family.
For a powerful figure of the Ji Family to die, that would definitely cause a storm! The southern region would definitely not be able to stay calm.
Chi.
Just at this moment, space suddenly split apart, and an Elder from the Ji Family suddenly appeared. He was wearing a special kind of clothing that blocked the purple flames.
When he saw the corpse and then Ye Fan, he immediately became dumbfounded and a disbelieving expression immediately appeared in on his face. “You…”
The instant space had split apart, Ye Fan took out his cauldron and directly sent it smashing down.
Even if not considering their previous enmity, just the current scene that could not be explained here was enough to cause trouble for him. He had to capture this person while he was still off-guard, otherwise he definitely would have no path of survival!
