Chapter 737 - 519: He Is Wei Fan
"Can you escape?"
Wei Fan also spotted two Martial Saints of the Wang Family, member of the Jin generation, in the Void World. It is very hard for them to hide in this place, and the fluctuations of a Saint Realm powerhouse is something ordinary people cannot fully conceal.
The two Martial Saints of the Wang Family Jin generation were still hundreds of miles away, and even if the speed of Wind Escape Step was extraordinary, there was still a possibility of losing track while chasing.
After all, it was two people, and if they fled separately, he would probably only be able to catch one.
"Boom!"
With a motion of his hands, he struck through the air, and the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell penetrated the Void World, blasting open a time-space tunnel.
Without even a chance to scream, the last two Martial Saints of the Wang Family vanished from the world, leaving not the slightest trace behind.
This was the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell at this moment, even if only a portion of its power was drawn through Bell Attraction, it was enough to instantly kill enemies hundreds of miles away.
He did not know if the current power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell could compare to the Emperor’s Soldier, but this kind of power definitely surpassed ordinary Martial Emperor Divine Soldiers.
[Killed Wang Jinyang, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 3,900 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
[Ordinary Power: 6.39 million years]
[Martial Saint’s Power: 17,800 years]
The panel flickered as another Dharma Martial Saint exploded with power.
In fact, in the Saint Realm, many have cultivated using the Demon Skill. Those who reach the Saint Realm often have a yearning for the highest realm of Martial Dao. When their cultivation stagnates, they switch to Demon Skill in hopes of further advancement.
Moreover, in the Saint Realm, if one cultivates using Demon Skill discreetly, it is often hard for outsiders to discover.
All four were killed using the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, leaving no spoils behind. Wei Fan emerged from the Void World, chose a direction, and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing from the place.
"The other two Dharma Martial Saints of the Wang Family are also dead!"
In Yanggu City, a Saint Realm powerhouse emerged to the heavens, sensing the aura in the skies, realizing that all four Martial Saints from the Wang Family who had left Yanggu City earlier were slain.
Including those previously slain, Wang Jinli, Wang Jin Yi, and Wang Jinsong, the Wang Family had a total of seven Saint Realm powerhouses killed in one day.
This was a terrifying number, and even Xining Continent over several hundred years had not lost so many Saint Realm powerhouses.
Seven Martial Saints, such a massive number is unthinkable, even for a Martial Emperor Family, it is unimaginable and enough for a significant loss.
"What kind of person has the Wang Family provoked?" While astonished, experts in Yanggu City were also puzzled.
Since Wei Ran quickly arrived in Xining Continent from the Holy City, many people in Xining Continent still did not know about the events where "Wei Ran" exterminated the Wang Family’s Jingxuan Pavilion in the Holy City.
Quickly, the event of the Xining Wang Family having seven Martial Saints killed in a day spread like wildfire across Xining Continent, then from Xining Continent to the Holy City, and further from the Holy City throughout the Eastern Domain.
"It’s Wei Ran. He really intends to annihilate the Wang Family. He used the Transmission Domain Gate to rush to Xining Continent to kill the Saint Realm powerhouses of the Wang Family."
Experts in the Holy City, upon learning of the Wang Family having seven Saint Realm powerhouses slain, instantly realized it was Wei Ran’s doing. They also knew that the Wang Family did not just lose seven Saint Realm powerhouses, as Wei Fan killed Wang Jinchang in the Holy City, resulting in the Wang Family losing a total of eight Saint Realm powerhouses in a single day.
Along with Wang Jin Yi and Wang Yuan previously killed by Wei Fan, in about a month’s time, the Wang Family lost eleven Saint Realm powerhouses.
"No! Plus Wang Tai and Wang Chuan Sect, altogether thirteen Divine Realm individuals are dead. Is this Wei Fan’s revenge? He probably can truly wipe out the Wang Family, no wonder he is known as the House-Slaying Demon Fiend."
In Shuiyun City, the Black Dragon Great Saint felt the chill upon hearing this news.
Thirteen Saint Realm powerhouses, this number far exceeds just heavy losses. Even though the Wang Family is a Martial Emperor Family, such a catastrophic loss almost constitutes a certain demise. According to his understanding of the Wang Family, even including all the hidden Saint Realm individuals, they may struggle to gather thirteen Saint Realm powerhouses again.
Without Imperial Soldiers, the Wang Family is effectively doomed, unless they decisively abandon their ancestral land and disband the clan before Wei Ran comes knocking. In hiding for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps some day when Wei Ran or Wei Fan dies of old age, the Wang Family descendants can emerge to rebuild.
If they lack this awareness, within a few days, the Wang Family will be expelled from the Eastern Domain Martial Emperor’s Influence and turned to ashes.
"This Wei Ran is truly ruthless. How did the Wang Family offend him to the extent he would spare no cost to eradicate a Martial Emperor Clan."
In the Holy City, many people knew Wei Ran clashed with the Xining Wang Family, but along with the Wang Family, they too were unaware of what grudge led Wei Ran to take such ruthless action, striking from the Holy City to Xining Continent, slaughtering eight Wang Family Martial Saints in one day with intent to wipe out the Wang Family.
Compared to the fact that seven more Wang Family Martial Saints died, they are more curious about how the Wang Family managed to provoke Wei Ran.
"It’s him!"
In Xuanyuan Family Divine City, Feng Hua’s eyes lit up upon hearing the news.
This style, anyone familiar with Wei Fan recognizes its familiarity. Wei Fan is not one to suffer losses, and he has never been suppressed without retaliating, those who oppressed him always ended up with their house exterminated.
Previously, when her great-grandfather Xuanyuan Ting asked her if Wei Ran and Wei Fan knew each other, she thought Wei Fan had some secret she wasn’t aware of. Now she completely understands: the so-called Wei Ran is actually Wei Fan.
Wei Fan simply chose a different method to annihilate the Wang Family; it was still Wei Fan who made the move.
"He is still so stunning, vengeful, and loves to wipe out entire families!"
Feng Hua laughed and, after returning to the Xuanyuan Family, smiled for the first time in a long time because she knew Wei Fan was unharmed and was not injured by the powerhouses sent by the Wang Family.
"So he has broken through to the Saint Realm for just over three months, and he’s already a Dharma Martial Saint. No wonder, given his personality, he had to hide his identity for revenge."
While thinking, Feng Hua couldn’t help but show a moved expression. No wonder Wei Fan wanted to hide and keep a low profile.
Such a cultivation speed is unprecedented, even the young Martial Emperor was not so stunning.
If he weren’t low-key, he’d probably have to hide like the great-grandfather.
"Dear granddaughter, what are you smiling at?"
Xuanyuan Ting suddenly walked over, looking curiously at Feng Hua. Since they returned to the Xuanyuan Family, this was the first time he’d seen this great-granddaughter smile, apart from when hearing the news of Wei Fan becoming a Saint.
Feng Hua quickly collected her smile and said, "I heard that the Wang Family’s experts were slain, and I couldn’t help but feel happy. Isn’t the Wang Family a claw of the Zhou Family? The Wang Family offended such a person, I’m curious to see if the Zhou Family dares to start a feud."
She did not voice her suspicions about Wei Ran’s identity. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust her great-grandfather Xuanyuan Ting, but because in a place like the Holy City, once a secret is spoken, it might no longer be a secret. The divine abilities of the Martial Emperor are unfathomable, and besides, the Xuanyuan Family also has people watching them.
She actually didn’t know that although Xuanyuan Ting was unaware that Wei Fan was Wei Ran, he was the first to know that Wei Fan was already a Dharma Martial Saint.
Upon hearing these words, Xuanyuan Ting’s expression also became serious. After a brief thought, he shook his head and said, "Probably not. The Zhou Family is not run by just one person. It’s unlikely they would start a war with another Martial Emperor’s influence over a mere marital alliance."
That Wei Ran clearly wants to destroy the Wang Family and isn’t negotiating. If the Zhou Family gets involved, they would only completely offend this Wei Ran.
The Zhou Family doesn’t resist the Demon Fiends, essentially bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Such a family wouldn’t start a war with the Martial Emperor’s influence over outsiders, unless that Wei Ran isn’t from the Martial Emperor’s influence. But no one knows the true origin of Wei Ran now, so the Zhou Family probably wouldn’t bet on it."
Based on his understanding of the Zhou Family, Xuanyuan Ting judged that they would not intervene in the Wang Family’s affairs.
Hearing this, Feng Hua showed a disdainful expression: "I wouldn’t marry into such a Martial Emperor Clan even if it killed me. If the Xuanyuan Family ever becomes like the Zhou Family, I think it’s better to destroy it, so as not to become parasites of the Human Race, only sucking its blood."
Upon hearing these words, Xuanyuan Ting didn’t have much of a reaction, but Xuanyuan Changkong and Xuanyuan Changming, who were secretly monitoring, looked ugly, realizing that Feng Hua meant she wouldn’t marry Zhou Cheng Ancestor even without Wei Fan.
Because her opinion matched Xuanyuan Peak’s: without pride, a Human Emperor Clan might as well be dead.
...
In Xining Continent, the Wang Family was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere, the entire ancestral land covered in terrifying pressure, as if a boulder weighed on every clan member’s heart.
Even though they hadn’t yet heard the news of Wang Chuanqi and Wang Chuanfeng’s fall, they sensed something was amiss with the family’s situation because the Saint Realm powerhouses within the clan were all exuding a gloomy aura.
"Clan Leader, what did the Zhou Family say?"
In the council hall, as Wang Chuanxuan put down the Communication Token, the elders of the Wang Family couldn’t help but ask.
Four Saint Realm powerhouses were sent, two of whom were Great Saint powerhouses, carrying two Heavy Artifacts to kill Wei Ran, yet it was the people of the Wang Family who died. All the elders of the Wang Family couldn’t sit still and immediately had the Clan Leader Wang Chuanxuan seek aid from the Martial Emperor Zhou Family.
Even Heavy Artifacts couldn’t kill Wei Ran. The Zhou Family was already at their wits’ end and beginning to feel fear.
At this moment, only by calling upon a Martial Emperor’s influence could the Wang Family be saved.
Putting down the Jade Token, Wang Chuanxuan’s expression was grim as he hoarsely said, "The Zhou Family said that at an appropriate time, they would step in to stop Wei Ran and negotiate with the other party."
"Bastards!"
An elder of the Wang Family couldn’t help but curse out loud. What appropriate time? It was just an excuse. With no clear answer, it meant the Zhou Family didn’t care whether the Wang Family lived or died.
What is the appropriate time? After the Wang Family is exterminated?
And it was only said they would negotiate with Wei Ran, not necessarily save the Wang Family.
It must be noted that, in their speculation, it was offending Wei Ran by attempting to kill Wei Fan that brought about this situation. And the reason the Wang Family clashed with Wei Fan was ultimately because of the Zhou Family.
"Contact Cheng Ancestor. Given Cheng Ancestor’s status in the Zhou Family, as long as he is willing to help our Wang Family, the people of the Zhou Family won’t disrespect him."
An elder of the Wang Family thought of Zhou Cheng Ancestor. Wang Chuanxuan was Zhou Cheng Ancestor’s maternal uncle. Even if Wang Chuanxuan didn’t care about the lives of the other Wang Family members, he wouldn’t ignore Wang Chuanxuan, not to mention the Wang Family had provided much help during Zhou Cheng Ancestor’s rise. If the Wang Family could be preserved, it would greatly benefit Zhou Cheng Ancestor’s future control of the Zhou Family.
Wang Chuanxuan nodded: "I have to swallow my pride and ask Cheng Ancestor. But he seems to be away from the Eastern Domain currently, and I’m afraid it’s difficult to reach him immediately..."
