Chapter 686 - 468: Suppressing Wang Yuan, Favoring the Powerful and Oppressing the Weak
Wang Yuan’s eyes flashed like electricity as he revealed the fact that Wei Fan relied on the Holy Blood Fruit to break through to the Saint Realm at the age of nineteen.
In fact, many people are aware that on the day at Huangfu Qingyang’s dojo, Feng Hua obtained two Holy Blood Fruits, which led to him being hunted by Human Race experts. It was Wei Fan who forcefully intervened and defeated all those chasing Feng Hua.
One person only needs one Holy Blood Fruit, and it was only natural that Feng Hua, having obtained two, would share one with Wei Fan.
"Even if Wei Fan used the Holy Blood Fruit to break through, so what? He’s still unparalleled in brilliance. When he was at the Martial King level, he could withstand Holy Soldiers bare-handed; could Zhou Cheng Ancestor do that?"
The young man pinned to the pillar sneered, still thinking that Zhou Cheng Ancestor was inferior to Wei Fan.
"It’s just bare-handed resistance to Holy Soldiers, who told you my cousin couldn’t do it? He merely didn’t publicize it."
Wang Yuan wasn’t in a hurry to kill this young man. His main goal today was to vindicate his cousin Zhou Cheng Ancestor, to let these ignorant frogs in Jianghu know that breaking through to the Saint Realm at nineteen doesn’t automatically make Wei Fan more talented than everyone else.
The young man nodded and said sarcastically, "I believe Zhou Cheng Ancestor can do it, after all, he’s the most exceptional successor of the Martial Emperor Family of this era, possesses the best resources, and cultivates the strongest Divine Skill. If he couldn’t even withstand Holy Soldiers bare-handed, wouldn’t he be a clumsy fool?"
Wei Fan came from the Land of Dao Collapse, if Zhou Cheng Ancestor had the same background, would you dare say Zhou Cheng Ancestor had already reached the Saint Realm cultivation now?"
Wang Yuan was about to go mad. No matter how he argued, this guy kept belittling his cousin Zhou Cheng Ancestor, thinking his cousin was inferior to Wei Fan.
The most important thing was that he couldn’t refute it. The originally dazzling identity as the successor of the Martial Emperor Family now seemed to be a blemish for Zhou Cheng Ancestor, strong as he might be, he couldn’t compare to Wei Fan who rose from insignificance.
"Utterly stubborn, Wei Fan doesn’t even deserve to die at my cousin’s hands. He dares to covet the Venerable Phoenix Body, he won’t live much longer."
Wang Yuan raised his palm, emitting a piercing brilliance, ready to kill the young man with one strike.
"Who!"
Suddenly he turned around, feeling a murderous intent locking onto him from behind, forcing him to abandon killing the young man who repeatedly disparaged his cousin.
However, upon turning, he saw no one, only a vast scene of mountains and rivers crashing towards him, with roaring rivers, towering mountains, and every grass and wood vividly clear.
"Primordial Spirit Martial Technique Mountain and River Seal..."
Wang Yuan’s mind had only time for this thought before those mountains and rivers struck him.
In the next moment, his whole body stiffened, and he knew nothing more.
Wang Yuan had just entered the Saint Realm; his Dao was less than a hundred zhang, Wei Fan’s Mountain and River Seal shattered his Primordial Spirit, causing him to die even though he was a disciple of the Martial Emperor Family.
"Wang Yuan is dead?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, and the young man awaiting death looked incredulous, watching as Wang Yuan slowly fell to the ground.
"Clang..."
The music of the zither on the lake abruptly ceased, and Fairy Qiushui also looked full of disbelief, the dancers from the Profound Lady Pavilion stopped too; hardly anyone expected such an outcome.
In an instant, all eyes turned to Wei Fan who made the move, looking at him with shock.
That was Wang Yuan from the Xining Royal Family, and Zhou Cheng Ancestor was his cousin, an extraordinary identity, otherwise no one would dare act in the Profound Lady Pavilion without repercussion, but who would’ve thought Wei Fan would silently make a move and directly kill Wang Yuan.
"Who is he? Could he have deliberately come here to kill Wang Yuan?"
Everyone gazing at Wei Fan was full of doubt, except for Li Jianchen whose eyelids twitched wildly.
He didn’t stop Wei Fan; even he was enraged by Wang Yuan’s words, let alone the more murderous Wei Fan.
"Cousin..."
"Damn you! How dare you kill a member of my Wang Family?"
Two disciples from the Wang Family who were with Wang Yuan were bloodshot and madly tried to rush and fight Wei Fan, but both were only at Martial King cultivation, and with just a sweep of Wei Fan’s Heart Spirit, their Primordial Spirits collapsed, and their aura quickly dissipated.
Everyone felt chills, all stunned by Wei Fan’s murderous presence.
"Thank you, Elder, for saving us!"
The companion of the young man swiftly stepped forward and withdrew the Divine Sword, freeing the young man.
He was at Martial King cultivation; as long as the Primordial Spirit remained, even having half his body chopped off wouldn’t lead to death.
Wei Fan shook his head, "No need to thank me!"
Despite acting at a critical moment to save this young man who had been speaking for him, Wei Fan essentially wanted to silence Wang Yuan.
The Zhou Family was so domineering, eventually they would aim to kill him, keeping Feng Hua stable was only the reason they hadn’t acted yet, and his feud with the Xining Royal Family had long existed; at Huangfu Qingyang’s dojo, he had slain another Wang Family disciple, even if Feng Hua wasn’t involved, he’d still be adversary to the Wang Family.
"Boom!"
A suspended pavilion suddenly opened, from which a middle-aged beautiful woman flew out: "Who are you? Killing in the Profound Lady Pavilion, if you don’t give Profound Lady Pavilion an explanation, you might not leave today."
Wei Fan stood up, and Li Jianchen followed.
"You three, leave quickly. This matter has nothing to do with you!"
He transmitted his voice to the three, Lu Shun’an, knowing very well Wei Fan’s temperament. If this discussion didn’t go well, a fierce battle was inevitable. The Profound Lady Pavilion might intimidate others, but it would definitely not intimidate Wei Fan.
"Together we came, together we leave!"
"Do you take us for people without loyalty?"
The three shook their heads and stood up, taking their place behind Wei Fan. With so many Saint Realm individuals, each with their own histories, even if the Profound Lady Pavilion wanted to make things difficult, they would have to consider it. The world was not solely dominated by the Xining Royal Family’s Martial Emperor Clan.
Seeing this, he no longer insisted. Instead, he transmitted his voice to Wei Fan, saying, "Be careful, this is Yun Yun. I’ve heard that he has an unusual relationship with an elder of the Xining Royal Family."
Wei Fan raised his eyelids slightly, sweeping his gaze towards the middle-aged beautiful woman, Yun Yun, "Is there a rule in the Profound Lady Pavilion that forbids killing?"
Yun Yun nodded, "Naturally, this is well-known. If anyone could act recklessly in the Profound Lady Pavilion, it would have been torn down long ago."
Everyone was watching Wei Fan, curious to see how this formidable stranger who had killed Wang Yuan would respond to the inquiries from the Profound Lady Pavilion.
It was known that the Profound Lady Pavilion was even older than the Demon Hunter Organization; very few knew how powerful it really was. Furthermore, due to the pavilion’s nature, most famous experts in the Eastern Domain had ambiguous relations with its disciples. Acting rashly here without background was a consequence not easily borne by anyone.
Wei Fan’s expression darkened. Pointing at the lifeless Wang Yuan, he said, "If that’s the case, why did he get away with harming others in the Profound Lady Pavilion, and why did you not care? I killed him, and now the Profound Lady Pavilion jumps out demanding accountability. Do you think I’m easy to bully?
If you don’t give me an explanation today, don’t blame me for wreaking havoc in your Profound Lady Pavilion."
He let Wang Yuan bark for so long just to see where the Profound Lady Pavilion stood. Those who knew him knew he abided by rules meticulously and never violated them.
If he killed Wang Yuan and the Profound Lady Pavilion continued to ignore it, he wouldn’t trouble the pavilion.
Now that the Profound Lady Pavilion was applying a double standard and demanding an explanation from him, they were clearly bullying him. It was not for him to give the pavilion an explanation; the pavilion should be the one giving him an explanation.
He wasn’t joking or threatening. If the Profound Lady Pavilion didn’t provide a satisfactory explanation, he would certainly turn the place upside down today. Since the pavilion leaned towards the Wang Family, they would likely be enemies in the future, leaving no need for reservations.
"Who exactly is this person, first killing Wang Yuan, then demanding an explanation from the Profound Lady Pavilion?"
Everyone was taken aback, not expecting Wei Fan to turn the situation around and demand the Profound Lady Pavilion for an explanation. The pavilion’s favoritism was evident, but with great power, what could be done?
If not for Wei Fan stepping in, the young man earlier would have suffered in silence, beaten to death by Wang Yuan.
Yun Yun revealed a mocking expression, "Just with you, a Saint Realm, you want the Profound Lady Pavilion to give you an explanation, and even threaten to create chaos here?"
Li Jianchen stepped forward, releasing an overwhelming Sword Intent, "If the Profound Lady Pavilion fails to uphold its own rules, flattering the high and trampling the low, then give me, Li Mou, an explanation."
"Others act recklessly in the Profound Lady Pavilion and you don’t care, but when we act righteously, you demand an explanation from us. Do you think we’re all pushover?"
Bang bang...
Lu Shun’an, Gao Peng, and Zhang Ye stood out, releasing the aura of Saint Realm powerhouses along with Wei Fan. Altogether, five were Saint Realm powerhouses, and aside from Lu Shun’an, four were Town Territory Envoys.
It is known that not just anyone with Saint Realm cultivation can be a Town Territory Envoy in the Demon Hunter Organization; one must also be a genius.
While four Town Territory Envoys were not given regard by the Profound Lady Pavilion now, who knew how far they could grow in the future? Moreover, not all were without backgrounds.
The White-haired Sword Saint Li Jianchen, his master was a Great Saint powerhouse, well-known in the Holy City for cultivating the Sword Scripture of Annihilation, with powerful combat skills and a record of killing a Great Saint Level Demon Saint.
Lu Shun’an, whose Wanxiang Commerce Association conducts massive business, had connections with many great forces throughout the Eastern Domain and was highly likely to take over the Wanxiang Commerce Association in the future.
Lastly, Gao Peng and Zhang Ye, though not as prominent as the two, had elders in the Dharma Realm.
Yun Yun’s expression changed dramatically!
The main point was she hadn’t figured out the background of this Saint Realm whom she didn’t recognize. Amid her inquiry, Li Jianchen, Lu Shun’an, and others stood firmly with him.
Keep in mind, the one slain was a disciple of the Xining Royal Family, the cousin of Zhou Cheng Ancestor, involving both a Martial Emperor Family and a Martial Emperor Clan. Instead of distancing from the situation, these people drew closer.
"And me. Doesn’t the Profound Lady Pavilion forbid anyone from fighting here? I was attacked and injured in your pavilion, and rather than addressing it, you question those who acted righteously. If I don’t get an explanation, today’s matter won’t end well."
The young man who was nearly killed by Wang Yuan stepped forward, glaring fiercely at Yun Yun.
If anyone held the most contempt for the Profound Lady Pavilion now, it was undoubtedly him.
"What are you?"
Yun Yun looked disdainfully at the young man. Just a Martial King nearly killed by Wang Yuan, and he dared question her? If not for the pavilion’s rules, she would have slain him with a palm.
"Flattering the high and trampling the low, such an ugly face of the Profound Lady Pavilion. No wonder many say you’re all whores, and it’s not slandering you."
On hearing this, including Yun Yun, all members of the Profound Lady Pavilion looked grim, revealing killing intent.
The young man wore a mocking smile, "Do you really think I have no background and am nothing?"
As he spoke, he produced a golden jade token and crushed it without hesitation.
