Chapter 1029 989: A Name Reverberates Across the Land

With Chen Fei's current strength, he can return straight to Eagle Ravine without any further hurdles or need for concealment.

Just when he successfully retrieved the Demon King Corpse and returned to Eagle Ravine, news of what transpired in the Mysterious Underground Palace spread through Ghost Wolf City as if it had wings!

A young human cultivator named Chen Fei buried countless Second Heavenly Layer to Peak of Second Heavenly Layer, even Third Heavenly Layer powerhouses of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm in that Mysterious Underground Palace!

Moreover, even Zhul Xing died! The Yan Zhen Sect team was completely annihilated.

This news shocked countless people.

Who was Zhul Xing? He was the most outstanding and extraordinary disciple of the Yan Zhen Sect this generation, hailed as a future hope and a candidate for the next Sect Master of Yan Zhen Sect, but now!?

He actually died? That Chen Fei actually dared to be so audacious?

"This is simply a fiend, a demon... isn't he too audacious?" Many were drenched in sweat, incredibly shaken.

From now on, the name Chen Fei will surely spread throughout Ghost Wolf City. Many already know this guy surnamed Chen is simply a madman! Because he is truly too audacious.

Before this, even if there were some rumors about Chen Fei, many of the older generation paid it little mind. But from now on, none among them will find this audacious name unfamiliar!

Zhul Xing—a remarkable individual with the potential to become the next leader of Yan Zhen Sect, a top-notch talent, an unignorable Dominating Emperor figure of the young generation in Ghost Wolf City! Someone with hopes of reaching the supreme, strong realm.

But now? Such a genius really died, left with no remains by an unknown boy...

Not only that, but one of the Qian Long Sect's Eighteen Peaks leaders, Lu Hong, a genuine Peak of Third Heavenly Layer Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert!

Who in Ghost Wolf City didn't know him? But now? He was also severely injured!?

Such a series of news left many stunned and incredulous.

There is no doubt, as time goes on, more and more people will become aware of the news about Chen Fei.

In Ghost Wolf City, a young man named Chen Fei, audacious yet incredibly powerful!

His name will soon spread to every inch of land under Ghost Wolf City's jurisdiction.

Henceforth, none under heaven will not know you. This is not an exaggeration; Ye Fan subdued Yao Xi, the Golden-Winged Little Roc King, and the Holy Son of Shaking Light, which will make his name spread across major sects.

"Hey, have you heard? Yun Zhen Pill King seems to have fallen silent. Absolutely not mentioning the bounty and Sky Cloud Pill anymore."

"Isn't that obvious? Even Zhul Xing is dead, and a figure as formidable as Peak Leader Lu Hong returned injured. No matter how valuable the Sky Cloud Pill is, who dares to take it!?"

"That's true... But I heard, the Yan Zhen Sect seems sealed off. Zhul Xing's death completely shook their high echelon."

"There's no way around it. Before Zhul Xing died, who among the young in Ghost Wolf City dared to challenge him? With such talent, any power would treat him as a precious treasure! And now, with Zhul Xing dead, it's no wonder the Yan Zhen Sect is going mad!"

"Sigh, it seems you really shouldn't underestimate anyone in this world. Before this, who would have thought an extraordinary being like Zhul Xing would die at the hands of someone so obscure?"

"Indeed... But I reckon that boy is in trouble now. I just heard someone say, Lu Qiuqing from the Yan Zhen Sect quietly left Ghost Wolf City."

"Gasp! Lu Qiuqing? Are you talking about the Great Elder Lu Qiuqing of the Yan Zhen Sect!?"

"Yes, precisely!"

"Gasp! The Great Elder of Yin Zhen Sect? If I'm not mistaken, they should all be above the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm."

"You're not mistaken. The Yan Zhen Sect is truly insane this time; they even dispatched a Supreme Elder."

"...It's understandable. If Chen Fei doesn't die, I reckon Yan Zhen Sect wouldn't have the nerve to even mention aiming to become the fifth top-tier force."

"When you put it that way, it seems so..."

...

In Ghost Wolf City, a turmoil brews.

Many find it astonishing, but more feel a chill at the descent of Lu Qiuqing, the Great Elder of Yan Zhen Sect.

Supreme Elder, just the mention of such a title is evidently enough to prove its extraordinariness. And indeed, that is the case.

The Supreme Elders of the Yan Zhen Sect, although it is unknown how many there are, were all ferocious and illustrious figures of the Yan Zhen Sect decades ago. It is only after they have settled down that they are qualified to sit in such a position.

Just like Lu Qiuqing, who was invincible in Ghost Wolf City over forty years ago! Apart from the older generation, almost no one dared to provoke him.

And now, he has probably long reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, hasn't he?

The Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm is frighteningly strong, even in Ghost Wolf City!

Meanwhile, in an ancient underground demon lair in the dark region of Ghost Wolf City, a massive, pitch-black figure sat on a throne! Its eyes glowed with a ghostly green, carrying a hint of amusement.

Moments later, it turned to a robust figure below and chuckled, "Batian, it seems your information is still a step behind. Not only is that person's alchemy prowess strong, but even his combat power is astonishing."

"Indeed..." Batian paused for a while and then said, "Deputy Pavilion Master, I suspect that young man has an unusual background. If he were just an ordinary person, it's impossible for him to cause such astonishing disturbance repeatedly! His alchemy skills are indeed unbelievable, it's just too exaggerated."

"That's certainly possible." The figure referred to as the Deputy Pavilion Master nodded and said, "The profession of an alchemist is unlike others. Without a formidable mentor, a strong heritage, and unmatched financial resources, it is absolutely impossible to emerge. Moreover... his Demon God Puppet is something that's hard to explain."

"Is that really the Demon God Puppet from the Demon God Sect of the Inner Region?" Batian was slightly taken aback and said.

"Very likely." The Deputy Pavilion Master nodded, "The Demon God Sect had long followed Lord First Emperor Qin to the Dominating Emperor Domain, leaving almost no heritage in the Inner Region. Unless it's those top Ancient Sects or Sects, only then might they have such toys."

Batian's eyes flickered, "Deputy Pavilion Master, do you suspect that Chen Fei is from some Ancient Sect or Sect in the Inner Region?"

"That's one idea, but I'm not certain." The Deputy Pavilion Master nodded and then suddenly laughed, "Forget it, why overthink? After all, you and that young man have some connection. It's far more valuable to befriend him than to offend him."

"Indeed." Batian nodded and sighed, "So young, yet possessing such terrifying alchemy and combat power. If given more strength, the prospect is unimaginable."

"So, better think of how to build a rapport with him. Just don't offend him. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, his mind is probably not set on Ghost Wolf City. Most likely, he's just a powerful passerby." The Deputy Pavilion Master's eyes flickered and said.

Batian paused and also nodded, "Indeed."

"Alright, I have other assignments for you. As for his matter, you don't have to worry—I will handle it personally." The Deputy Pavilion Master waved a large hand and said.

"Yes! Deputy Pavilion Master." Batian nodded.

Meanwhile, within the Snow Cloud Tower, one of the four top forces in Ghost Wolf City, Hua Jinming and Zhuge Xu were together.

Around them were numerous elder-level figures from the Snow Cloud Tower, all of whom had extraordinary identities.

"Zhuge Xu, you witnessed everything that happened that day clearly." On a mountain peak, an old man with long white eyebrows spoke ethereally, giving the impression of being extremely elusive, as if he didn't exist.

"Yes, Great Elder, I don't know about Zhuxing's matters, but that day in the underground palace, I saw with my own eyes that he wiped out all the Yan Zhen Sect people, and even seriously injured Lu Hong, the peak master of Qian Long Sect! Then he left, with no one daring to stop him." Zhuge Xun nodded and said.

The old man with long white eyebrows was the Great Elder of the Snow Cloud Tower, immensely powerful, and held a very high status... Besides the Supreme Elders who have not appeared for a long time, he generally is considered the foremost person.

"Wow!"

"Is it really true? That kid caused so much trouble all by himself?"

"Lu Hong of Qian Long Sect is at the Peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, is that kid truly so formidable... this is no joke."

...

The crowd was in an uproar, incredulous.

"Haha, hahaha... Yan Zhen Sect, oh Yan Zhen Sect, you fiercely tried to catch up with us to become the fifth top force in Ghost Wolf City? And what happened now, you got dealt with by a youngster? Listening to this is indeed thrilling! Haha, hahaha!"

Suddenly, the Great Elder of Snow Cloud Tower laughed and was very pleased. The Snow Cloud Tower and the Pei Family were mortal enemies, but they also disliked the swaggering Yan Zhen Sect of late.

"Hehe, now those old geezers probably have no face to mention becoming the fifth top force anymore, right? At the very least, they should wait until they've killed that kid." A hunchbacked, bald elder chuckled while gloating a bit.

"Do they still think they can kill that kid? I guess that kid named Chen Fei probably has an unusual background." The Great Elder with white eyebrows also chuckled and said, "So, let's just watch from the sidelines. I have a feeling that our Ghost Wolf City is going to be lively for a while."

Although his premonition was correct, he couldn't possibly have predicted that this time it wouldn't just be 'lively for a while' but could possibly turn the world upside down.

Meanwhile, in the Enlightened Deity Cave of Eagle Gorge, a group of unexpected visitors arrived.
