Chapter 1881 - 1877: Coming to the Door Once Again
At this point.
The old Taoist’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he sneered, "Ancient Demon Clan, you didn’t expect this, did you? You once launched a full-scale attack on Earth with all your clan’s forces. Although Earth paid a heavy price, you gained nothing and even lost a super expert, ultimately defeated and went back in disgrace. Now, you want to take advantage of Earth without Emperor Tianqi’s protection and make your return? Hmph, no chance. You would never have thought that another Emperor Tianqi is about to be born. Come if you dare, but don’t expect to go back if you do!"
With those words said.
The old Taoist gritted his teeth, then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
After all, his injuries had just healed, and he needed to stabilize his state, so he patiently cultivated for a while to stabilize himself.
After all, no matter what, he was just a Soul Body, not comparable to a physical body.
So he needed to expend additional energy.
Otherwise, if his state were unstable and his strength regressed.
Then, the effort he spent absorbing nature’s spiritual energy through Chen Feng’s physical body would have been for nothing.
All of Chen Feng’s suffering would have been in vain.
As Chen Feng and the old Taoist both entered cultivation.
The Tianqi World once again fell into silence.
However, the outside world was not as calm...
The ten Heavenly Rank Experts dispatched by the Nether Flame Hall set out early in the morning.
They took the fastest mode of transportation, the airplane, directly to Coastal City.
After getting off the plane.
Gazing at this international metropolis, all ten Heavenly Rank Experts were filled with interest.
After all, the headquarters of the Nether Flame Hall was located deep in the mountains, far from the bustling scene of Coastal City.
Over time, this made them yearn for the life of this prosperous world.
Although they were Heavenly Rank Experts from the Ancient Martial World, and among them, three had nearly reached Heavenly Rank Perfection, attaining the Heavenly Rank Late Stage Peak.
But people always yearn for prosperity.
Even those who dedicated themselves to cultivation envied this prosperous lifestyle, eager to experience earthly pleasures.
"Why don’t we take a walk around Coastal City first? After all, as for the trivial Chen Family, the ten of us can easily wipe them out in no time. Instead of rushing, let’s take this chance to enjoy ourselves here; otherwise, who knows how long it will be before we have another opportunity to come out?"
One tall Heavenly Rank Expert, looking at the others, suggested.
"That’s true! All we do is cultivate day in and out. When we want to venture out, all we see around us are dense mountains with no one in sight. It’s so monotonous and boring. We’ve never really enjoyed life in such a large city!"
A nearby Heavenly Rank Expert, only one and a half meters tall, nodded in eager agreement.
"Ah, I’m really envious of the Chen Family. They even set their headquarters in such an international metropolis. Aren’t they having a delightful time?"
Another Heavenly Rank Expert, who was a bit plump, said enviously.
"Tch, what’s there to envy? The Purple Bamboo Forest, where our Nether Flame Hall is located, is a Cave Heaven Blessed Land! It’s full of nature’s spiritual energy, which is greatly beneficial to our cultivation. Many sects would die of envy trying to have what we have!"
"And as for the Chen Family, although their headquarters is in this international metropolis, the more developed the place, the weaker the spiritual energy. Cultivation will become a problem for them. I bet their Family Head and the other experts will be stuck at their current realms for the rest of their lives!"
"Take their Family Head, Chen Feng for example. According to intelligence, he’s only at Heavenly Rank Early Stage now, right? With such weak spiritual energy in Coastal City, I reckon he won’t break through to the Heavenly Rank Middle Stage even in ten years, so what’s there to envy?"
A thin Heavenly Rank Expert in the middle spoke with disdain.
After he spoke, the other Heavenly Rank Experts nodded.
Because what he said indeed made sense.
The location of the Nether Flame Hall, although deep in the mountains, isolated without any human presence and surrounded by mountains.
It was truly a Cave Heaven Blessed Land!
The abundance of nature’s spiritual energy there made it one of the few cultivation treasure lands still left on Earth.
It was precisely due to this that the Nether Flame Hall had grown to become a first-rate force in the Ancient Martial World.
It’s not just the Nether Flame Hall.
Throughout the Ancient Martial World, the headquarters of these first and second-rate forces.
They are mostly located in secluded, remote areas.
Because in such wild areas, the spiritual energy is rich and abundant.
In urban areas like Coastal City, due to the large population, the spiritual energy is thin, making it very unfavorable for cultivation.
Hence, those sects established in urban areas are generally weaker in strength.
While those occupying the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, with abundant spiritual energy, have much stronger strength.
Such as the Nether Flame Hall, Flying Dragon Sect, and the Leisurely Sect, three established first-rate forces.
The locations of their sects are among the few remaining cultivation treasure lands on Earth today.
Although located deep in the mountains, the spiritual energy is abundant.
Therefore, urban areas and mountainous wilderness each have their advantages.
Urban areas offer prosperity and pleasure.
Mountainous wilderness provides abundant spiritual energy, more conducive to cultivation.
It all depends on one’s choice.
"Alright, keep quiet, all of you!"
The leading Heavenly Rank Expert turned back and glared at the Heavenly Rank Experts, speaking in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Rank Experts immediately fell silent.
This lead Heavenly Rank Expert was the strongest among them, at the Heavenly Rank Late Stage Peak, being only a step away from Heavenly Rank Perfection. It’s estimated that it wouldn’t be long before he became another Heavenly Rank Perfection expert of the Nether Flame Hall.
Thus, the other nine Heavenly Rank Experts held high respect for this leader.
"Let’s hurry and complete our mission. Once we destroy the Chen Family, I’ll take you all for a tour around Coastal City. Afterward, you don’t need to envy Coastal life too much. After we wipe out the Chen Family, everything they own will belong to our Nether Flame Hall. We will definitely establish a branch here, and you can apply to oversee it. Then you can live here every day!"
The leading Heavenly Rank Expert turned and addressed the ones who had been discussing.
Upon hearing this.
Those individuals quickly nodded, thinking it was quite reasonable.
So they stopped talking.
After all, the task assigned by the Hall Master was more important.
Seeing that no one objected further.
The leading Heavenly Rank Expert then directly led them toward the Chen Family headquarters.
Along the way.
They didn’t take much time.
After all, the location of the Chen Family headquarters had long been investigated by the Nether Flame Hall.
So they took no detours, directly reaching the gates of the Chen Family headquarters.
The two Chen Family guards at the gate, seeing these ten menacing figures, couldn’t help but show bitter smiles, not knowing what to say.
