Chapter 1097: Say That Again

The gate on an old altar deep in the Deity Burial Valley had been opened. There was blood on both sides of the gate. It seemed like the place was attacked the moment the gate was opened. The guards looked shocked and they seemed to be terrified before they died.

“Damn it!”

Chen Fan immediately flashed towards the Realm of Kunxu.

The Realm of Kunxu.

Since the small world was connected to Earth, the Spirit Qi had also surged there when the world changed and all kinds of Connate Beasts appeared. There were even some Golden Core Beasts.

But right then, a palace surrounded by clouds was floating above the Heavenly Capital. Lu Yanxue, Qi Xiu’er and Fire Spirit King were standing there with a serious look.

“Three days ago, the Mixed-Essence Sect was attacked by a group of people in black outfits. Not one survived.”

“Two days ago, the Mieqing Sect was also exterminated. Only their Sect Master made it out alive, but he was also severely injured.”

“Yesterday, Fentian Valley…”

Everyone became more serious.

The Mixed-Essence Sect, Fentian Valley… Those were the seven Exalted Sects of the Realm of Kunxu. Even though their Sect Masters had been killed by Chen Fan back then, there still were more than a hundred Connate Cultivators left. In recent times, since the Essence Qi on Earth had soared, those Connate Cultivators had become Golden Core Cultivators. Each sect had at least twenty Golden Core Cultivators, but they were still defeated by those mysterious attackers.

The Sect Master of the Mieqing Sect, the top cultivator in Kunxu, had also run away.

“Who are they? Why are they so cruel? When did we provoke them?” Fire Spirit King’s hands were shaking. Those mysterious people kepting killing as they moved. Not only the seven Exalted Sects, the other small sects were also eliminated. Not even Chen Fan acted this brutally when he visited Kunxu.

“I’m not sure. They’re all in black outfits. I heard that they came from the ‘Taichu Divine Realm.’ They’re here to do something for their Divine General. If they don’t destroy a sect, they still check all their cultivation arts, but so far they seem disappointed. Some have even said that they had only found low-level arts,” Qi Qingwei said coldly.

All of them looked furious.

Who would be happy to hear someone say that their cultivation arts were inferior and that they were lowly people? Even Lu Yanxue said, “If they want to come, then let them come. Gather all the Deities in Kunxu. I’ll wait for them in the Yuntian Palace!”

Half a day later.

When Chen Fan reached the Deity Burial Valley and entered the Realm of Kunxu—

The entire Yuntian Palace had been besieged. Countless cultivators in black outfits surrounded the Heavenly Capital with viciousness.

Lu Yanxue looked at the vicious cultivators outside in fear.

“None of them are Connate Cultivators. There are almost a hundred Golden Core Cultivators and they’re much more powerful than our cultivators in the same realm. They’re at the mid-stage or even peak-stage Golden Core Level. We’re in deep trouble,” Qi Qingwei said as she trembled.

Even the Deities from the Realm of Kunxu turned pale.

They thought that they could easily deal with those cultivators with a hundred Golden Core Cultivators and the Yuntian Palace, which was a Heavenly Treasure. And yet, their opponents had a similar number of cultivators who were a hundred times more powerful.

Fire Spirit King fought with them before, but he had been defeated by one of them after a single exchange, and he was supposed to be in the top ten among the other Deities.

“There’s no way we can defeat them…” Many old Golden Core Cultivators shook their heads.

A cultivator in black snickered and said, “Haha, you’re indeed a bunch of ants. Do you think you can survive hiding in a small Heavenly Treasure? This small world is the entrance to the deity ground. We won’t let you stand in our way.”

Dozens of cultivators surrounded a man with purple hair respectfully and they called him “Heavenly General Yuan.” This “Heavenly General” had never spoken since he showed up, but his fierce energy made many people have trouble breathing.

The Heavenly General with purple hair said, “Kill them. This cannot be delayed.”

“Yes!”

Once he spoke—

The people of Kunxu immediately felt the pressure. Even though the Yuntian Palace was a Heavenly Treasure that Heaven’s Equal had left behind, it only had the power of a Nascent Soul Cultivator. How could it withstand the attacks from a hundred peak-stage Golden Core Cultivators? In the end, the Heavenly General with purple hair also attacked and broke its outermost layer of arrays.

“Kill!”

Countless men in black came from the sky.

They were like tigers in a flock. The Golden Core Cultivators of Kunxu couldn’t resist at all; one of them died immediately. Qi Xiu’er had reached the Connate Level; she could be as powerful as a Golden Core Cultivator when she activated her Red Sparrow’s Divine Meridians. She was enveloped in fire and light like a phoenix, but she still struggled as she faced the attacks from six cultivators in black outfits.

“Why? Kunxu has done nothing to you. Why do you have to kill us?”

Lu Yanxue was wearing a long, white dress. She clenched her fists with a pale face and a hint of struggle and anger in her eyes.

“Hm, this is all because of the King of Kunxu, Chen Beixuan. He killed my brother and exterminated my sect. If our Divine General hadn’t gone back to the deity ground due to some urgent matter, he would also have been killed. Luckily, he’s fine. I’m going to kill everyone in Kunxu to take revenge for my brother.” The Heavenly General with purple hair sneered.

He was Yuan Xiao’s brother.

“What? Because of Perfected Cultivator Chen?”

“Perfected Cultivator Chen has returned?”

“Seriously? He should have appeared in the Heavenly Capital. That’s the end of the Path of Heaven.”

The Deities were shocked. Even Lu Yanxue and Qi Xiu’er were startled.

Chen Fan went on the Path of Heaven a decade before and had never returned since. The girls thought they had lost him. Many members of the Chen Family hiding inside the Yuntian Palace, like Chen Guoguo, were also wide eyed.

“Of course, I may spare your life if you hand over the members of the Chen family and surrender to become my servants. Hm, you two look quite beautiful. You can be my concubines.” The Heavenly General glanced at Lu Yanxue and Qi Xiu’er with a squinty look.

“Don’t even think about it! My Master will come after you,” Qi Xiu’er yelled with a golden aura around her. Her Red Sparrow Divine Art let out some golden fire, forcing back the cultivators surrounding her.

“You’re Chen Beixuan’s disciple. Wonderful! When I take you down, break your limbs nd torture you to death, I’ll see if Chen Beixuan can still be so arrogant.”

Heavenly General Yuan shot out two beams of purple light from his eyes and stepped on Qi Xiu’er.

“Argh!”

Qi Xiu’er let out a cry.

Several bones on her body were fractured and her Red Sparrow Dharma Form behind her was almost dispelled.

Even though she had the Red Sparrow’s Divine Meridians, she was two levels weaker than Heavenly General Yuan after all. That was the huge difference between a Connate Cultivator and a Nascent Soul Cultivator. There was no way she could fight back.

“Stop! Let Xiu’er go!”

The Deities of Kunxu immediately rushed towards Qi Xiu’er, while Lu Yanxue controlled the Yuntian Palace and released beams of light from the palace to form an energy ray, flashing towards Heavenly General Yuan.

“Losers.”

Heavenly General Yuan waved his hand and knocked eight Deities away, breaking those light rays. “I might have had to be careful if the Lord of this palace were here, but you little girl are just an ant.”

Then.

He pressed his foot down. Golden fire spouted out from the mouth and nose of Qi Xiu’er. She was almost crushed to pieces.

“My husband will never let you get away if you kill her!” Lu Yanxue said coldly.

“Oh, Chen Beixuan is your husband? That’s great. I’ll kill you and this little girl, then cut your bodies to pieces. I’ll also put your Divine Souls in a Dharma Treasure and burn them with Fiend Fire for ten thousand years…”

While Heavenly General Yuan burst into laughter.

Suddenly—

A banging sound was heard and a ray of golden light flashed in the sky, followed by someone’s voice that gave Heavenly General Yuan a chill down his spine.

“Say that again?”

Chen Fan had arrived!
