"Is that so? I’m really curious about how esteemed your Chen family’s guests are. If I neglect them, even ten of my lives won’t be enough to compensate."
Wei Fan strolled towards the man in blue, his expression cold and indifferent.
[Chen Yuanxiang: Golden Body Ninth Forging, bullying the weak, killing the innocent]
[Kill him, and you can obtain 20,000 years of Ordinary Power]
The panel has shown a response, so there’s nothing more to say. Initially, they also planned to meet this Chen family, which only harms the civilians. Chen Yuanxiang’s arrival just provided a pretext.
"This is Ghost Mountain City, kid, if you want to stir up trouble, at least choose the right place!"
Chen Yuanxiang was still unaware that these few people in front of him seemed young, but even the weakest among them were powerhouses at the Fifth Layer of Martial King. Hearing Wei Fan’s words, he continued to shout arrogantly.
In the next moment, Wei Fan disappeared from his sight.
Chen Yuanxiang’s pupils constricted violently; being fast enough that he couldn’t see him, only Martial King powerhouses could achieve that. Just as he thought of retreating, Wei Fan already lifted him up, his face turning red.
Witnessing this scene, the shopkeeper of the tavern was dumbfounded. The Chen family, arrogant and overbearing, had hit a hard wall? frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"He’s reached the Fifth Layer of Martial King!" Zhi Hua and Feng Hua’s eyes lit up, worried that this might disrupt Wei Fan’s breakthrough.
"Let me go, or you’ll never leave Ghost Mountain City!" Although Chen Yuanxiang was shocked, he still threatened Wei Fan.
He was easily lifted by Wei Fan, like a chick, without the slightest ability to resist.
"Then let me see how your Chen family will make sure we can’t leave Ghost Mountain City!"
Wei Fan exerted his strength, and a sound of bones grinding emerged from Chen Yuanxiang’s body, causing him to scream in pain.
"Senior! This is a misunderstanding!"
Although Chen Yuanxiang’s bones were not hard, Wei Fan merely punished him slightly, and he began to plead.
"Let’s go, let’s pay this Chen family a visit!"
With Chen Yuanxiang in one hand, Wei Fan led the way down the stairs, followed closely by Zhi Hua and Feng Hua.
Ghost Mountain City had its origins in over three thousand five hundred years ago, established by a family surnamed Zhou. However, as the Zhou family declined and the Chen family rose, they expelled the Zhou family and occupied Ghost Mountain City.
To the entire Beiding Continent, the Chen family was not a great power, merely a second or third-rate small family. But to the civilians of Ghost Mountain City, they are an undeniable powerful force, not to be provoked.
So, after seizing control of Ghost Mountain City from the Zhou family, although the Chen family gradually increased taxes and exploited the civilians, most people were angry but did not dare to speak out.
Yet on this day, many citizens of Ghost Mountain City witnessed a young man carrying Chen Yuanxiang of the Chen family through the streets, heading straight for the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Are you here for revenge?"
By now, even if Chen Yuanxiang were dull, he realized that Wei Fan and his companions were not addressing the tavern dispute but were obviously there to cause trouble for the Chen family.
"I’m just curious how esteemed your Chen family’s guests are!"
Wei Fan, expressionless, kept exerting pressure, causing Chen Yuanxiang’s golden body to crack all over, with golden blood flowing everywhere.
Chen Yuanxiang’s face looked dire: "Who exactly are you?"
Simply curious about how esteemed Chen family’s guests are over such a trivial matter, treating him like a fool.
However, Wei Fan did not respond, just like that, carrying Chen Yuanxiang through the streets, until they arrived near the City Lord’s Mansion, where a group of Chen family members aggressively emerged.
"Second Uncle, save me!" Chen Yuanxiang shouted.
Though not the clan leader, his second uncle Chen Xuewu was a powerhouse at the Fourth Layer of Martial King, a prominent figure in the Chen family.
"Release Yuanxiang!"
"You’ve got the wrong place if you’re looking to cause trouble at the Chen family!"
"Enough talk, let’s kill them together."
Seeing Chen Yuanxiang’s miserable state, the Chen family disciples were all furious and wanted to rush forward but were stopped by a wave from Chen Xuewu.
Even if he hadn’t witnessed Wei Fan’s skill, taking down Chen Yuanxiang so easily must mean he’s a Martial King powerhouse.
The disciples in the clan probably were arrogant and domineering throughout Ghost Mountain City, but he, as a Martial King powerhouse, understood many strong figures exist outside, many of whom the Chen family can’t afford to offend.
Despite his anger, Chen Xuewu was still courteous, clasping his hands and bowing: "I wonder where dear friends come from, how did my Chen family disciple offend you, if he acted wrongly, I will apologize on his behalf."
Wei Fan looked at Chen Xuewu, and a flashing panel appeared:
[Chen Xuewu: Fourth Realm of Martial King, fallen into Demon Dao, cultivating Demon Skill]
[Kill him, and you can obtain 100,000 years of Ordinary Power, 400 years of Martial King’s Power]
"No need for an apology. We were living well at the inn, yet your Chen family rushed us to leave abruptly, or else if we neglect your guests, even ten of our lives won’t be enough to compensate.
Therefore, we’re very curious about how esteemed your Chen family’s guests are, that merely neglecting them implies even ten of our lives won’t suffice for compensation. Please invite your guests from your Chen family to let us see what sort of figures can be honored to such an extent."
Though Chen Xuewu spoke politely, Wei Fan’s tone, while free from aggression, was undeniably challenging.
Understanding the situation, Chen Xuewu’s smile vanished instantly: "Do some of you have a vendetta against my Chen family?"
Wei Fan shook his head: "It seems your presence is insufficient for us to meet your esteemed guests from the Chen family."
Splat!
Blood splattered as he crushed Chen Yuanxiang in his hand.
"Yuanxiang..."
The Chen family members’ eyes were bloodshot, as Chen Yuanxiang was deformed by the terrible power. In an instant, four or five Chen family disciples flew up, charging at Wei Fan.
"I told you, bring out your guest for me to see what kind of person they are, do you not understand?"
Wei Fan’s expression was cold and stern. After throwing aside Chen Yuanxiang, he immediately extended a large hand to grab outwards.
Boom!
The large hand grew larger with the wind, tearing apart the few who charged at him mid-air.
Chen Xuewu’s pupils contracted, "Martial King Fifth Layer!"
Wei Fan’s large hand emitted a terrifying wave, pressing down. Before it even approached, the Martial Venerable disciples next to Chen Xuewu exploded one after another, their blood staining the street red.
"Enemy attack!" He screamed harshly, warning the Chen family members while retreating to avoid Wei Fan’s large hand.
But with Wei Fan having broken through to the Martial King Fifth Layer, if a Martial King Fourth Layer like him could escape, he’d better find a piece of tofu to knock himself dead.
Chen Xuewu had barely retreated a few meters when the large hand covered over, grabbing him tightly.
"Now, can you bring out your respected guest from the Chen family?" Wei Fan held Chen Xuewu, his expression unwavering.
The display before him flickered rapidly, signifying that none of the Chen family disciples were innocent; they all deserved to die.
Chen Xuewu’s expression was sad and twisted, "Damn it, who are you? How exactly has my Chen family offended you, to where you’ve killed so many of our disciples?"
He hopelessly scanned the place where they had stood, only to see that the seven or eight Chen family Martial Venerable powerhouses who had come out with him were all reduced to pieces of flesh, scattered on the ground, not a single one survived.
Where the hell did this madman come from, demanding to see the Chen family’s guest over a single sentence?
Wei Fan insisted on seeing the Chen family guest, and Chen Xuewu somewhat believed it because if he’d come for vengeance, he wouldn’t deny it at this point.
This means that so many of the Chen family died just because Chen Yuanxiang had said something disparaging, prompting an attack on the Chen family to see what the guest was like, and slight disrespect could cost ten Martial King lives.
"That bastard, tasked to requisition a few inns for the wedding guests, caused such a disaster."
If Chen Yuanxiang wasn’t already dead, he felt like slapping him to death.
"Who dares to behave recklessly in my Ghost Mountain City!"
Suddenly, a voice like a thunderclap echoed, causing the whole of Ghost Mountain City to tremble with it.
Following this, several strong Martial King presences surged up like waves, heading towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
As the local power in Ghost Mountain City, the Chen family’s Martial Kings weren’t just one or two people; aside from Chen Xuewu who was held by Wei Fan, four other Martial King presences erupted.
"Big brother, quickly activate the Grand Array, he has the cultivation of Martial King Fifth Layer!"
Chen Xuewu shouted, because if the one holding him escaped now, not even his big brother Chen Xuelun might be able to keep him.
Chen Xuelun, City Lord of Ghost Mountain City, Clan Leader of the Chen family, Martial King Eighth Level powerhouse.
Information about the City Lord of Ghost Mountain City flashed through Wei Fan’s mind, yet his expression remained calm.
This kind of Martial King who had lived nearly a thousand years with an Eighth Level cultivation, with Wei Fan’s battle power, even if he couldn’t kill the opponent, the opponent couldn’t do anything to him either.
"Oppressing the people, plundering wealth, it’s you who is reckless!"
Feng Hua had long been unable to hold back. With a cold drink, she struck out with a palm from a distance.
The four Martial King figures, like Great Suns, had just soared into the sky, only to be slapped down by her palm, collapsing a section of houses.
"Martial King Eighth Level? A single palm to suppress big brother at the same level?"
Chen Xuewu’s hair stood on end, unexpectedly it wasn’t the man holding him who was the most terrifying, but the previously silent woman.
To suppress the same level with one palm, that is the potential of a Martial Saint.
In fact, Feng Hua had already gone easy, knowing that back in Linyao City, she could smash a Human Race Martial King Seventh Layer winged serpent in a few moves, roasting it alive, her combat power at the same level being nearly equivalent to Wei Fan’s.
If she hadn’t been concerned that this was in the city, and worried about affecting ordinary people by restraining her power, one palm could have smashed all four Martial Kings of the Chen family.
From the City Lord’s Mansion came a mixture of frightened screams, as the four Martial Kings were knocked from the sky, the aftermath was not something ordinary people could withstand.
Boom!
Knocked down from the sky, Chen Xuelun appeared again, wielding the Array Banner to activate the Grand Array of Ghost Mountain City.
"Courting death!"
Feng Hua’s eyes flashed coldly; she wasn’t worried that Chen Xuelun could use the Grand Array against them, but if she forcefully broke it, it would inevitably harm the city’s people.
Her figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, Chen Xuelun’s arm wielding the Big Banner fell, not even getting a chance to activate the array.
The severed arm flew, crimson blood splashing, leaving Chen Xuelun pale and fearfully retreating.
Feng Hua caught the Big Banner from the severed arm and swept it horizontally, sending Chen Xuelun’s head flying, his lower body dropping weakly.
