Chapter 610 - 392: Young People Shouldn’t Be Petty
The Zilan Sect has been attacked with a Holy Weapon!
The fluctuations of the Holy Weapon spread, and the people in Zilan City instantly knew what had happened. As many were shocked, they surged out of Zilan City and floated into the sky to gaze toward the not-so-distant Zilan Sect.
"It’s Wei Fan, he’s here to reckon with the Zilan Sect!"
Many recognized Wei Fan. He had been wanted by the Zilan Sect, and his portrait had spread across the Beiding Continent. Many knew him, and the conflict between him and the Zilan Sect had erupted in Zilan City, where many had witnessed it firsthand.
"It’s not really a reckoning. Even if the Zilan Sect’s Martial Saint is not in the Beiding Continent and has gone to the Wilderness, no one here is a match for Wei Fan. However, the Zilan Sect’s Holy Array is still present—without a Martial Saint, there’s no way to subdue the Zilan Sect."
"Even if he can’t take down the Zilan Sect, he can still vent his anger. Attacking the Holy Sect is something many Martial Saints dare not do. Just think about how bold that is."
...
Few believed that Wei Fan could really affect the Zilan Sect. The Holy Sect’s Mountain Protection Array was laid by a Martial Saint personally. It contained Dao Marks beyond the grasp of Martial Kings and had long been imbued with the will of a Martial Saint. Even a Martial Saint would find it impossible to break the Holy Sect’s Mountain Protection Array in a short time.
Within the Holy Sect, the Mountain Protection Array’s importance surpassed even that of the Holy Soldier — it was second only to a Martial Saint Powerhouse and requires substantial resources for maintenance annually.
"Wei Fan, you’re outrageously bold, daring to defy the Holy Sect’s majesty!"
Sun Tao, wielding an Array Banner, rose into the air and confronted Wei Fan from across the Grand Array, his eyes seething with flames.
Regardless of whether Wei Fan would manage to affect the Zilan Sect today, the Zilan Sect’s reputation had already been tarnished. A Martial King had arrived at the gates of the Holy Sect — something never before seen within the Five Great Domains.
Moreover, without even the courage to go out and face the enemy, relying solely on the Grand Array for protection, it’s imaginable that after today, the Zilan Sect would become the laughingstock of the Five Great Domains.
"They really think they are above it all!"
Wei Fan’s killing intent surged like a tide: "Today, I will destroy your Zilan Sect; let me see what the majesty of the Holy Sect is!"
These people thought themselves superior as Holy Sect Disciples, thinking little of others’ lives. That day, just because he was with Feng Hua, the Zilan Sect aimed to kill him.
"All Zilan Sect disciples listen up, you have ten breaths to consider leaving the Zilan Sect on your own, or else, when I break through the Grand Array and begin the massacre, your life and death will be your own responsibility!"
The world fell silent at this declaration.
"Haha..."
"Does he think he’s a Martial Saint?"
"Grand Elder, don’t waste words with him, activate the Grand Array and obliterate this bastard, let him learn that the Holy Sect’s majesty is inviolable."
The Zilan Sect disciples burst into laughter, with few taking Wei Fan’s words seriously.
Only Sun Tao and a few Martial Kings’ expressions changed slightly. The Zilan Sect’s loss of so many Martial Kings was not known to all disciples. As for the idea of using the Holy Array to obliterate Wei Fan, it was essentially impossible unless Wei Fan entered the Grand Array himself.
"Done by oneself, cannot be lived," Feng Hua shook her head silently. Only she understood that Wei Fan never boasted, and whatever he stated, he would surely accomplish.
"Three, two, one..."
Wei Fan remained indifferent to the ridicule: "The ten breaths are over. You chose to stay, so don’t blame me."
He knew there might be innocents within the Zilan Sect, so he granted them a choice. Whether they cherished it was not his concern, as people always have to face the consequences of their choices.
The Zilan Sect had put a bounty on him and repeatedly sent people to kill him. If he did not retaliate with ruthless measures, everyone would think they could trample on him.
Furthermore, in a sect of this kind, no one is truly innocent. Every disciple contributed to the Zilan Sect’s audacity.
These people thought he couldn’t break the Holy Array; his prior attacks were merely casual strikes. With his power, if he fully activated the Holy Soldier, his attacks would not be much weaker than those of a Martial Saint. Could the Zilan Sect’s Holy Array withstand a few hundred attacks?
Anyway, with the Zilan Sect’s Martial Saint not present, he could attack for days, gradually wearing down the Grand Array.
As power surged, Wei Fan was about to activate the Holy Soldier, but suddenly, two figures approached from afar.
"Wei Fan, stop. The matter between you and the Zilan Sect is just a trifling issue. Why let it escalate to this point?"
The two figures, one elderly and one young, with the elder speaking first.
Wei Fan did not recognize the elder, but those nearby revealed his name and background.
Guo Yulun, the foremost Alchemy Master in the Beiding Continent, on par with Qu Qiancheng. Although not a Martial Saint, his position in Jianghu was not inferior to one; even a Martial Saint, upon meeting him, would call him Master Guo.
"Guo, I implore you!" pleaded Sun Tao from within the Holy Array, clasping his hands from a distance. Guo Yulun was not meddling uninvited; he had been called in by Sun Tao.
Wei Fan halted his action, curiously observing Guo Yulun.
Since his cultivation never required elixirs, the title of first Alchemy Master meant nothing to him. However, he wanted to see what capability Guo Yulun had to dare emerge at such a moment.
Guo Yulun stood with his hands folded behind him in midair. The breeze rustled, lending him a somewhat immortal presence: "A young man of such unparalleled talent should cherish his reputation. You must understand that actions should not go too far.
Did your elders not teach you that Martial Artists should not bully the weak? You’ve already killed several Martial Kings of the Zilan Sect, and now you bring the fight to their doorstep—this is somewhat excessive.
Show an old man some respect, and let the matter between you and the Zilan Sect be put to rest here, shall we?"
He looked at Wei Fan with a condescending gaze. As the number one alchemist on the Beiding Continent, even a Martial Saint had to speak politely to him. In the surrounding continents, the name Guo Yulun was more effective than that of a Martial Saint.
Wei Fan’s expression was calm as a still water, and he said, "Does the elder know about the grudge between me and the Zilan Sect?"
Guo Yulun nodded, "I know a little about it. It is indeed the Zilan Sect’s fault, but you haven’t suffered any losses. Young people shouldn’t be so petty. Besides, although the Zilan Sect can’t do anything to you now, when their Martial Saint returns, I don’t need to tell you the consequences."
Wei Fan laughed, "What a no loss. Since my cultivation was at the Martial King Second Layer, the Zilan Sect began to put a bounty on my head. Even a few days ago, they sent four or five Martial King Ninth Layer experts and the Fire Cloud Cave Martial King to hunt me down. If it weren’t for my superior skills, I don’t know how many times I’d have died by now.
The elder is so magnanimous to not hold a grudge over such matters."
Guo Yulun’s expression changed, knowing Wei Fan was mocking him, but before he could speak, his disciple spoke up first, "Wei Fan, don’t be ungrateful. My master cherishes talent, he is saving you. Otherwise, when the Zilan Sect’s Martial Saint returns, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough."
Wei Fan nodded, "So I should thank your master then."
Guo Yulun’s disciple nodded, "Naturally!"
Wei Fan laughed again, "But I have a habit that I only do what others ask if they can do it themselves."
What do you mean?
Guo Yulun and his disciple were taken aback, and the next moment, Wei Fan disappeared from their sight.
"You..."
Guo Yulun’s expression changed drastically, his figure retreated rapidly, but he saw that Wei Fan’s five fingers were already clasped on his disciple’s head.
"Let him go!" Guo Yulun shouted, his face turning sullen.
The onlookers from afar were stunned, not expecting Wei Fan to suddenly seize Guo Yulun’s disciple.
"Of all people to provoke, he chose to lord his age, provoking this House-Slaying Demon Fiend, little did he know that to him, a so-called Alchemy Master is nothing."
Feng Hua shook his head in secret. If Guo Yulun knew what Wei Fan had done in the Wilderness, he probably wouldn’t have used his status as the Beiding Continent’s top alchemist to preach to Wei Fan here.
Claiming fairness while leaning towards the Zilan Sect, does he think Wei Fan is a fool?
This so-called reconciliation is nothing but the Zilan Sect’s buffer tactic because their Martial Saint isn’t present to provoke Wei Fan. If she could see through it, how could Wei Fan not know?
This is a lawless guy, apart from strength, no status matters.
"What do you want to do?" Guo Yulun’s disciple was stiff.
Wei Fan showed a mouthful of white teeth, "You and your master advised me not to be petty, now if I slay you, and if you and your master can really not hold a grudge, I guarantee that I’ll turn around and go, and from now on won’t cause the Zilan Sect any trouble."
As soon as he said this, both Guo Yulun and his disciple’s expressions changed, but before they could speak, Wei Fan’s five fingers gently closed, and Guo Yulun’s disciple’s brain splattered and he died.
"This Wei Fan really is audacious, daring to even kill Master Guo’s disciple!"
"Good kill, now that Wei Fan has risen to power and can’t be provoked, they think a simple ’don’t be petty’ can let it go, when did things come so easily?"
"Trying to use seniority met a tough nut!"
"To others, an alchemy master’s status would mean they can’t wait to flatter, but to a demon like Wei Fan, he doesn’t care at all. Martial Saints respect him, and he thinks he’s a Martial Saint himself."
Many people showed satisfied expressions, knowing the matter between Wei Fan and the Zilan Sect, who was right and wrong was clear to any discerning eye. Wei Fan had made many great contributions to the Human Race, what had the Zilan Sect done?
Anyone with a shred of conscience wouldn’t side with the Zilan Sect on this matter.
"You demon, you kill with just a disagreement, you deserve to die!"
Guo Yulun’s eyes were red with rage, furious.
This was his most outstanding disciple, who had the potential to inherit his mantle and become a great alchemy master, yet now he had died tragically at Wei Fan’s hands, how could he not be angry?
As for not being petty, being magnanimous, those were words to coax others with.
Wei Fan sneered, "It’s not you who died, you didn’t lose anything, but when it’s your turn, you’re not magnanimous? Lenient to oneself, strict to others?"
A streak of blue light cut through the sky with a thunderous sound. When everyone reacted, Wei Fan already had his hand on Guo Yulun’s head.
Everyone’s gaze towards Wei Fan completely changed, as Wei Fan’s stance clearly indicated he intended to even take down Guo Yulun.
As the number one alchemist of the Beiding Continent, many Martial Saints from the nearby continents owed Guo Yulun favors. Killing Guo Yulun might provoke not just one or two Martial Saints.
Of course, there might also be nothing at all. When Guo Yulun was alive, it mattered, but now that he’s dead, those Martial Saints might not care about his business anymore.
"What do you want to do? I am the number one alchemist of the Beiding Continent, a friend to many Martial Saints." Guo Yulun’s voice was intense.
"Of course, to slaughter you. Do you think that jumping out to help the Zilan Sect would allow you to retreat intact?" Wei Fan’s voice carried a chill.
At this moment, Guo Yulun finally realized that Wei Fan was different from any martial artist he had encountered before.
