Chapter 1680: Chapter 1549: Protecting One’s Own
"No..."
Sun Tianxi screamed, collapsing on the ground as if his bones had been removed, tears streaming down his face.
"Did I make a mistake?"
Seeing this, Ye Fan frowned slightly. Generally, he would not kill ordinary people.
But after several brutal slaughters, he found his heart growing cold and hard. Whether ordinary people or cultivators, if they deserved to die, he would not hesitate.
"You, I’ll fight you to the death!"
Sun Tianxi shouted, charging at Ye Fan, but as an ordinary person with no cultivation, he was no match for Ye Fan.
"Now you feel the pain; what were you doing before?"
"If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beams will be crooked. Sun Tianxi is no good either."
"The father and son are both of the same ilk; they deserved to die long ago!"
The onlookers discussed fervently, revealing Sun Tianxi’s past misdeeds.
It turned out that the Sun Family’s current stature was built on oppressing the good and innocent. When young, Sun Tianxi was no saint, murdering and arson without qualms.
Although he later became a landlord, old habits died hard. He exploited and bullied, forcibly buying and selling. Having a prodigious son chosen by a sect only made him more brazen.
Particularly after his son entered the Immortal Academy, he became exceedingly arrogant. Common loose cultivators dared not offend them, and instead aided and abetted them in many evil deeds.
Upon learning this, Ye Fan’s last shred of compassion vanished. The Sun Family was a tumor in the Ancient City.
"Poof!"
Ye Fan pointed a finger, and a bloody hole appeared in Sun Tianxi’s forehead. He fell backward to the ground, dead.
"Hiss..."
The crowd gasped, not expecting Ye Fan to be so decisive, finishing off Stone Village.
********, this was experience paid in blood and tears by Ye Fan. If not for his master’s mercy in releasing Chen Daozang back then, none of this would have happened.
Thus, he would not make the same mistake again. Even the genius from the Immortal Academy could not deter his resolve to destroy the Sun Family.
Before everyone’s eyes, Ye Fan, with Bai Yan wolf, headed directly to the Sun Family’s residence in the city.
In the entire Ancient City, the Sun Family wasn’t considered excessively rich or noble, but it was far from shabby, with tall walls, large courtyards, and imposing red-lacquered gates.
Ye Fan kicked the gate open and began a bloody cleansing. Anyone whose hands were stained with blood or who had committed evil acts couldn’t escape his Dharma Eye.
With a sweep of divine consciousness, he knew of one’s past misdeeds and promptly executed them.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the cultivators of the Qing Family couldn’t escape his reckoning, let alone the ordinary members of the Sun Family.
In a mere cup of tea’s time, only a few people were left alive in the Sun Family’s large courtyard; dozens were killed by him.
Subsequently, Ye Fan distributed the Sun Family’s wealth to the poor of the city.
Ye Fan lingered in Huntian City for a few days, waiting for Sun Shaobao’s brother to arrive. He wanted to see what was so remarkable about someone who could enter the Immortal Academy.
However—
After waiting several days, no one came looking for him. After improving the constitution of the old man Wang Ping, Ye Fan decided not to stay any longer and headed back to the Immortal Academy.
As for Sun Shaobao’s brother, he had ways to handle him. Whether by force or reasoning, he held the moral high ground.
During Ye Fan’s return to the academy, a great upheaval shook the cultivation world across the Five Domains. Many Holy Lands and Wu Shang Sects lost their Saint Heirs.
Of course, some Holy Lands might not have known that their Saint Heirs participated in the hunt for Ye Fan, but they were worried nonetheless.
Many Holy Lands dispatched numerous strong people to search for their Saint Heirs, focusing their efforts on the battlefields where Ye Fan fought and killed those Saint Child level powerhouses.
The search results were mixed: some were relieved, holding onto a sliver of hope when no trace of their Saint Heirs was found; others were sullen, with clear evidence that their Saint Heirs were slain by Ye Fan.
"That brat named Ye, breaking rules and using an Emperor Weapon—it’s necessary to pressure the Immortal Academy now!"
Some Holy Lands and Wu Shang Sects believed Ye Fan used an Emperor Weapon; otherwise, he couldn’t have killed so many Saint Child level powerhouses.
They intended to press the Immortal Academy to stop protecting Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was unaware of this. By then, he was already back at the academy, practicing in seclusion within the Dragon Tower!
Among all disciples, Ye Fan was the first to be exceptionally permitted to cultivate in the Dragon Tower. Even those Great Emperors who graduated from this academy never had such treatment.
"Old Bastard, quickly hand over Ye Fan!"
While Ye Fan was in seclusion, several Saints Masters joined forces to demand that the Immortal Academy abandon its protection of Ye Fan, or else they would become enemies with them.
The Immortal Academy Director Old Immortal personally took action, confronting the Saints Masters in the skies above the mountains outside the academy.
"Ye Fan is a disciple of our Immortal Academy. I cannot hand him over. If you choose to fight, I will accompany you." The Old Immortal showed a strong side, directly revealing his realm.
The Quasi-Emperor Level cultivation emitted a terrifying pressure, causing the faces of several Saints Masters to drastically change. They never expected that the Old Immortal, who had been keeping a low profile all these years, had actually broken through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
It is known that the further a cultivator progresses, the harder it becomes to advance. Sometimes one can be stuck in a small realm for a lifetime.
And each difference in a small realm is like a world of difference in power; although they are Saints Masters of various great powers, facing the Quasi-Emperor Old Immortal, they have no chance of winning.
"Are you really intending to protect Ye Fan?"
A Saint Master asked with a sullen face. He was the Saint Master of the Yin Yang Sect, and their Saint Child was among the missing. Without asking, it was certainly killed by Ye Fan.
"Indeed, Ye Fan is a disciple of our Immortal Academy. Unless you level our academy, no one dare harm him. Our Immortal Academy will destroy their entire clan!"
Having finally found such a promising talent, the Old Immortal would never let go, nor allow anyone to set their eyes on Ye Fan.
This time, through the Treasure Pavilion, the Immortal Academy learned about the incident, clearly understanding that these people brought it upon themselves, and Ye Fan was merely acting in self-defense.
"You..."
The Yin Yang Saint Master looked as if he had eaten a dead child, his face extremely unsightly.
"Old Immortal, since you insist on protecting him, there’s nothing more we can say. But I don’t believe you can protect him forever. Don’t forget, you are not invincible in this world." Another Saint Master also said.
"Are you threatening me?"
The Old Immortal said faintly, slowly emitting a Quasi-Emperor’s pressure.
"You..."
The Yin Yang Saint Master’s face changed abruptly, letting out a cold snort, "Let’s go, I don’t believe you can protect him for a lifetime."
Besides them, other Holy Lands and Wu Shang Sects, as well as ancient clans, are also searching for their Saint Children. For a Holy Land, a Saint Child is their future Saint Master, and they cannot afford any mistakes.
But in the vast crowds, finding them is almost impossible, and they can’t find them either, because some Saint Children are still suppressed within Ye Fan’s Azure Furnace.
This time, Ye Fan gained a lot, with many Spiritual Treasures of excellent quality. Ye Fan himself didn’t need them, so he let Elder Xuan absorb the energy from these Spiritual Treasures to repair the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.
"Xiao Fan, although the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown has now been repaired to seventy percent, it has encountered a bottleneck, and unless you reach the Venerable Realm, it cannot be further repaired." Elder Xuan said to Ye Fan after absorbing some energy from the Spiritual Treasures.
"How could it be?"
Ye Fan was stunned. His greatest wish was to fully repair the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown; otherwise, what cards would he have when facing the Demon Clan?
"The Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown suffered too much damage during the last dark turmoil. It needs the yin and yang extreme fire, along with Immortal Materials, to be fully repaired."
Elder Xuan revealed a secret: back then, the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor found the yin and yang extreme fire in the outer starry sky while refining the Emperor Weapon in order to succeed.
But now, Ye Fan’s cultivation has far from reached the level to traverse the starry sky and cannot delve deep into the vast universe.
In this world, there is nowhere capable of producing the yin and yang extreme fire, so the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown can only be repaired to its current state.
"What level must be reached to traverse the universe?" Ye Fan’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
This world and Earth are two completely different worlds. The starry sky here is also different from Earth’s starry sky. What differences exist between them?
"You must cultivate to the Venerable Realm."
Elder Xuan replied, pausing for a moment before continuing, "But given your strength, reaching the late-stage peak of the Lord Realm should suffice."
With Elder Xuan’s explanation, Ye Fan gained some new understanding of this world.
This world is also a sphere, but much larger than Earth, with slightly different environments, yet there is a similar atmosphere above the planet.
Outside the atmosphere lies the vast universe, with no Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, no oxygen, where ordinary humans absolutely cannot survive.
However, once cultivation reaches the Venerable Realm, one can traverse between star systems with the body, and at that time, human abilities reach a very high level, even able to absorb other energies in the universe to sustain life.
Ye Fan’s physique is unique, combined with the inheritances from the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor and Thunder Venerable Master, with an unparalleled body, perhaps allowing him to traverse the star universe at the late-stage peak of the Lord Realm.
