Chapter 2176: Chapter 2211: To Daozhen Villa
"Buzz buzz!"
At this moment, the sea wave surged abruptly, then rose up, spraying water all around. A terrifying aura emanated from the water, rendering everyone immobile, and Herr Ningshuang’s hand, poised to crush the jade pendant, was also frozen in mid-air.
"Hmm?"
In the depths of Zhong Wushang’s soul, there was a palpitating dread. He sensed a peculiar force enveloping him, a mysterious power pressing down on him from all directions.
"This... this..."
Fear surged within him, for he fully understood what it was — the power of the heavens and earth, repressing him, making him unable to move within this realm.
This "Might of Heaven and Earth" rarely manifested and could only be obtained by comprehending certain special circumstances between heaven and earth. The realm of "Might of Heaven and Earth" was at least the seventh-layer divine realm.
"Seventh-layer divine realm? Has Master Daozhen arrived?"
Zhong Wushang felt immense panic in his heart. Master Daozhen possessed the "Might of Heaven and Earth." It was through this that Master Daozhen could defeat several monarchs. It was one of the world’s most powerful divine skills.
"I’m afraid I’ll truly meet my end here."
A heavy sigh escaped Zhong Wushang. With such a powerful martial artist taking action, did he still have a chance to survive?
"Swish~"
Suddenly, torrents of water converged in mid-air, and a giant hand took shape under countless astonished eyes.
The hand was as large as a dragon’s, akin to the outstretched arm of a giant in the Meng family’s otherworldly realm. The hand did not pause and abruptly grabbed towards Zhong Wushang.
"Bang!"
Like catching a grasshopper, Zhong Wushang’s body exploded into fragments of flesh and blood that flew everywhere. Zhong Wushang was dead, and his divine sword shattered as well.
"Boom!"
The divine sword did not disintegrate but self-detonated, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that swept in all directions with a shrill howl.
"Plop~"
Two powerful figures from the Shen family were blown away by a mighty shockwave, rolling over. Even without the shockwave, they would have fallen in fear.
"Too terrifying!"
The hearts of Herr Ningshuang and the others were shaken. Although they had been training under Master Daozhen, Herr Ningshuang and Herr Rufeng had never witnessed such a thrilling scene before.
However... at this moment, Herr Ningshuang felt bewildered. Who was this mysterious and powerful person? If it were Master Daozhen, he wouldn’t hide. He would come out and take action directly, not needing to conceal himself like this.
If it’s not Master Daozhen, then who is it?
"Hiss..."
A gasp of astonishment came from a distance. Over a dozen powerful figures standing on the three super airships, all sent by various factions to protect their heirs, couldn’t help but gasp.
Everyone was looking at Ding Fan’s direction, looking at that terrifying hand and feeling the power of the heavens and earth. Although the "Might of Heaven and Earth" didn’t affect them directly, all the experts felt a tremendous wave rising in their hearts.
"This is bad, this is the seventh-layer divine realm, it might be that old undead has really come!"
Zhao Tianba ceased controlling the Flower Halberd Array. With a seventh-layer divine realm expert taking action in Tianmu Sea and instantly crushing Zhong Wushang to death, if he continued attacking Herr Qianjun, he might also be crushed to death.
"Who is it?"
Zhao Tianba harbored deep doubts. Two seventh-layer divine realm experts were in the Tianmu Sea: one was Master Daozhen, the other the great elder of the Herr Family.
Clearly, it wasn’t Master Daozhen; otherwise, there wouldn’t be such unnecessary trouble, and Zhong Wushang was killed instantly, which wasn’t Master Daozhen’s style. Was it the Herr Family’s great elder Herr Wanzhan? But there hadn’t been any rumors of Herr Wanzhan comprehending the Might of Heaven and Earth.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three collisions sounded from within the Formation below, then three shadows were forcefully knocked out, spraying blood wildly from their mouths, their faces ashen, with one strong figure already passed out.
The lead strongman of the Zhong Family, controlling his divine weapon, carried the three away at lightning speed.
Even within the Formation, they could sense the outside situation. He saw the sea water coalesce into a massive hand and clearly saw Zhong Wushang crushed to death by that hand.
He knew that if he didn’t flee now, everyone would be left behind. With a seventh-layer divine realm expert taking action, who here was a match for him?
"Swish!"
Herr Qianjun darted out of the Flower Halberd Array, and with Zhao Tianba no longer controlling the Formation, he could easily charge out.
He stood on his divine weapon, not pursuing the Zhong Family’s strongmen or others, but looked towards Ding Fan, eyes filled with doubt.
He was the third-ranked member of the Daozhen Household, very familiar with the two seventh-layer divine realm experts of the Daozhen Household, and was now certain it wasn’t Master Daozhen or Herr Wanzhan taking action.
"Who is it? And why did he save Ding Fan?"
Herr Qianjun’s hair fluttered as he furrowed his brows, not relaxing at all, but instead eying heavily. A mysterious seventh-layer divine realm expert had appeared in the Tianmu Sea, a development unexpected by their Herr Family, leaving him with a vague sense of unease.
The whole scene was dead silent. Zhao Tianba’s Flower Halberd Array slowly faded away, and his Divine Halberd ceased its rotation. Everyone directed their Divine Sense toward Fan, searching for that mysterious strong individual.
However...
Even with the powerful Divine Sense, Herr Qianjun explored the hundred-mile sea surface nearby, yet didn’t discover any powerful individuals lurking.
"Where did he go?"
No one could detect him, leaving only two possibilities: either he had a very strong Escaping Technique, or he immediately departed from the sea bottom after taking action.
"Whoosh!"
Shen Baoxu took Ding Fan up to the Super Airship, and the two Shen family elders who had fallen also flew back. Herr Ningshuang thought it through and decisively ordered, "Go!"
This place was too unsafe. Perhaps they could be completely safe in the depths of Tianmu Sea. Regardless of which strong individual made a move, they were at least safe now. Only after they left could Herr Qianjun freely handle this matter.
Shen Baoxu piloted the Super Airship away, quickly disappearing into the distance. Zhao Tianba was left unaware of what to do, as the Zhong family had fled; should he stay or retreat? Staying might lead to being killed, while retreating meant the Shenwu Country’s princess, Zhao Xiner, was still inside; they hadn’t come out yet.
"Humph!"
At this moment, an aged voice resounded, shaking the surroundings. Those powerful Martial Artists from various forces immediately unleashed their Divine Sense to search for the source of the voice, but even Herr Qianjun couldn’t locate it.
An ancient voice quickly rose up: "If you’re not from Tianmu Sea, get out! If you continue the chaos here, disturbing my secluded cultivation, I’ll slaughter you all!"
The voice sounded ancient, ethereal, slightly deep and hoarse. No one knew where this voice originated from; it was like a voice from above the Nine Heavens, clearly echoing in everyone’s ears.
"Whoosh~"
Zhao Tianba and the experts on the Super Airship charged toward Wolf Fall Cliff one after another, three glowing Super Airships darting out of Tianmu Sea.
Was this a Seventh Level monster from the Divine Realm? Who dared to stay in Tianmu Sea, lest they suffer the same fate as Zhong Wushang?
Herr Qianjun didn’t move; his eyes hesitated a bit. This voice seemed a little vague, making it impossible to discern its original sound. Who exactly was this person? Was he truly an old monster hiding in Tianmu Sea for cultivation, stepping in because he disliked outsiders’ attacks in Tianmu Sea?
Herr Qianjun wasn’t afraid of this person. Because of this person’s previous action, he believed this individual might have just recently broken through to the Seventh Level of the Divine Realm. Not to mention Master Daozhen, even by using "Might of Heaven and Earth," Herr Wanzhan could easily suppress him.
Moreover, it was obvious from this mysterious person’s words that he was someone from Tianmu Sea, so why would he harm the people of Tianmu Sea?
The person was well-hidden, and even with repeated explorations, he couldn’t be found. Herr Qianjun’s high cultivation level couldn’t pinpoint his traces.
This time, Tianmu Sea triumphed. The Zhong family was destroyed by him, losing two Fifth Level Divine Realm cultivations, equivalent to demolishing two strong individuals, and another Zhong Wushang was directly killed, losing three Fifth Level Divine Realm experts. Coupled with the talented young Zhong Clan Leader Zhong Wugu, the Zhong family patriarch would likely be furious enough to vomit blood.
As for the possibility of the Zhong family and Shenwu Country retaliating?
Herr Qianjun didn’t mind. If the Three Kingdoms dared to retaliate against Tianmu Sea, they would have already led their strong individuals to invade, never allowing Tianmu Sea’s arrogance to reach its current state.
As long as Tianmu Sea existed, the Three Great Kingdoms would be humiliated as long as Master Daozhen lived; none of the royal families dared to invade Tianmu Sea.
Herr Qianjun waited a while, watching everyone head toward Wolf Fall Cliff, not daring to step into the sea. He too flew back to Xiao Dao.
The Three Great Kingdoms’ people didn’t come out either. This treasure hunt wasn’t over yet; although the Night Wolf Emperor’s coffin had already flown away, the Three Kingdoms’ experts hadn’t retreated. Why should Herr Qianjun retreat?
Zhao Tianba and the Three Kingdoms’ experts were atop Wolf Fall Cliff, all with darkened expressions, feeling utterly humiliated, wanting to retreat immediately. Yet, since their young family members hadn’t emerged, these people were uneasy, forced to continue their awkward wait on Wolf Fall Cliff.
"Whoosh!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
A few hours later, a flying eagle arrived at Xiao Dao. Herr Qianjun took a letter from the eagle, read it, and nodded lightly.
Herr Ningshuang and the others had returned to Baihe Island; now they were likely being transported to Daozhen Island, completely safe.
"Send a message back!"
Herr Qianjun pondered a moment and quietly commanded. A Herr family Scout Cavalry appeared in response, bowing to Herr Qianjun and saying, "Lord Qianjun, please give instructions!"
Herr Qianjun ordered, "Send a message back, recount what happened here, have the family investigate this Seventh Level Divine Realm expert. Also... convey Ding Fan’s situation to Miss Yan, let her decide how to handle it."
The Scout Cavalry quickly wrote a letter for the flying eagle to carry back. This eagle, a spiritual beast meant for communication, moved at astonishing speed, able to send information back to Daozhen City swiftly. Herr Qianjun didn’t want to handle future matters; he couldn’t. He was but a Battle Hall elder; such matters would naturally be handled by other elders.
"Soul-type Martial Skills?"
Herr Qianjun recalled Ding Fan roaring at the sky, reflecting on Herr Ningshuang’s speculation. His gaze shifted to Daozhen Island, coldly stating, "Kid, if you know when to advance and retreat, Tianmu Sea will have a place for you. Ningshuang cherishes you; you might have a chance to become our Herr family’s son-in-law. Everything depends on whether you know how to advance and retreat."
Ding Fan and others indeed reached Daozhen City. Herr Ningshuang feared an assassination or sneak attack by the Zhong family, promptly taking them back to Daozhen City, where a group of young masters and mistresses were panicked, only feeling completely at ease upon returning to Daozhen City. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Ding Fan fell unconscious; Zhong Wushang casually injured him. How powerful was a Fifth Level Divine Realm? His rib cage fractured, yet he fought through his injury to strike Zhong Wushang once, aggravating the wound further, fainting after boarding the Super Airship.
"Go to Daozhen Villa!"
Herr Ningshuang arrived in Daozhen City, immediately ordering everyone to go to Daozhen Villa. At this moment, everyone’s mood hadn’t fully calmed; not wanting to scatter, they accompanied Herr Ningshuang to Daozhen Villa.
Of course, being able to go to Daozhen Villa also made many feel honored.
Upon entering Daozhen Villa, they saw Madam Yan waiting with Steward He above. Watching Shen Baoxu carrying the gravely injured Ding Fan inside, a cold light flickered in Madam Yan’s eyes as she remarked, "What transpired? Steward He, take them to rest, treat Ding Fan well, condo and Rufeng stay with me."
