Chapter 1258 1217: The Storm Approaches

The thing on Earth before, he was preparing to kill people, and any ordinary Minor Heavenly Position character who encountered it would basically die. Its lethality is extremely terrifying, but the only pity is that there's just one of them, and it's a single entity.

In other words, this thing can only be used to kill one person. Once it kills, it's gone.

But there's no other option. What kind of existence is a Minor Heavenly Position character? They are above others, at the top of the firmament. That thing can annihilate such characters, which is quite extraordinary. If there were many of them, wouldn't that be too exaggerated?

It must be understood that even he, at the time, only by coincidence because of Pei Wanning, managed to gather all the materials needed to make that thing completely...

"Wanning..." Chen Fei's eyes darkened slightly, then the hand concealed within his sleeve clenched tightly, making a cracking sound. His eyes flickered, his pupils sharp as he murmured, "Just wait for me a little longer. It won't be long before I can come for you..."

With this thought, Chen Fei's gaze became cold and fierce. His goal is the Inner Region, the various Ancient Countries, the Three Imperial Domains, and even the ends of heaven—the Immortal Country of Myriad Gods!

So, Lan Family? Eternal Temple? Jianng Wanli? What do these count for! Things like ants. You want to die, very well, I'll fulfill your desire today.

And at this time, in Earth Martial City, terrifying figures from the Lan Family emerged one by one, silently heading toward the area where Chen Fei was located, carrying cold murderous intent. Such actions couldn't be concealed, and many were shocked.

Why such a big move from the Lan Family!?

Six full figures!

Besides the Seven Sword Protectors of Lan Family, this time, there were six Minor Heavenly Position characters stepping out from the Lan Family!? This quantity, even for forces of the same level as the Lan Family, would be daunting, causing an earthquake, because this number is really too many, too terrifying! It accounts for more than half of the upper echelons of the Lan Family.

"Quick! Follow them! With this kind of commotion, there's bound to be a big scene."

"Remember the guy from few days ago? He killed Lan Wuyong, stole the Black Light Great Sword, and also killed a Minor Heavenly Position character from the Lan Family. Now, the Lan Family is going all out and has paid a hefty price to borrow that mysterious reconnaissance treasure mirror from the Eternal Temple. They've located the suspect and are coming in full force to kill him."

"So they're out to kill him? That makes sense. Lan Wuyong was next in line as the successor of the Lan Family, the Black Light Great Sword is an ancient artifact passed down from the first generation of the Lan Family, and that Minor Heavenly Position character was a pillar. Losing any one of these would be a huge loss for any family! And now that kid has all three, it's no wonder the Lan Family wants him dead."

"Though that person is quite capable. It's said he hasn't even reached the True Monarch Realm yet..."

"What? Not reached the True Monarch Realm? Seriously!?"

"You tell me..."

...

After such commotion, countless people followed the six Minor Heavenly Position figures and the Seven Sword Guardians of the Lan Family out of the city.

This is a grand scene; missing it would be a lifelong regret.

But just as their figures moved out of the city, two whirlwinds swept by, and suddenly two figures appeared in front of the Lan Family forces! Blocking their path. With their appearance, everything around seemed to become mere backdrop, their astonishing aura and terrifying presence made everyone unable to refrain from being alarmed, staring at them.

"So strong!" The crowd gasped, with these two's appearance, even the six Minor Heavenly Position figures of the Lan Family and the Seven Sword Guardians had to stop. Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, this kind of terrifying majesty hinted at their formidable strength.

At this moment, the leading elder with a sword among the Seven Sword Guardians, Lan Qiu, stepped forward with a dark expression, glaring at the two and speaking in an unfriendly tone, "Li Pangbo, Hou Shan, what do you two mean?"

"Li Pangbo? Hou Shan?" Upon hearing Lan Qiu's words, everyone's eyes condensed, showing shocking expressions. Li Pangbo with Destroyer Crested Spear from Qi Family Fort, True Monarch Hou Shan, these are all invincible people from the previous era, Minor Heavenly Stature True Monarch Peak, the hallmark of Qi Family Fort.

"What do I mean? Nothing... Just a bit curious about this big array your Lan Family has assembled, is it to massacre the sect?" Li Pangbo glanced at them with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and said.

Their purpose here wasn't to fight, but to delay strategically.

"It seems there's really some connection between your Qi Family Fort and that little beast." The elder with the sword, Lan Qiu, gloomily stared at Li Pangbo, coldly said, "Step aside! This matter has nothing to do with your Qi Family Fort."

"Boom!" An overwhelming pressure emanated, rushing towards Lan Qiu, whose face changed dramatically. However, he along with the Seven Sword Guardians behind him reacted swiftly! Instantly forming the Seven Seas Battle Formation, blocking that pressure.

"Hou Shan, what is the meaning of this? Do you want to make a move?" the elder with the sword glared at Lan Qiu, coldly said. Just now it was this guy who silent acted against him.

"It's been ages since I've seen you, just a greeting, why be so excited?" Hou Shan's gray robe, his appearance was not striking, but his aura was somewhat imposing and cold, causing hearts to race.

A greeting? Hou Shan's way of greeting is indeed unique.

"You..." The elderly swordsman Lan Qiu's face turned pale then purple, glaring at the opponent, filled with ferocity.

The opponent's attitude was truly dismissive, treating them as if they were easy to bully?

At this moment, a figure appeared, a storm swirling around. Everyone's gaze turned slightly solemn... including Li Pangbo and Hou Shan.

"Wang Zhanxin? What are you doing here?" Li Pangbo frowned as he looked at the figure, asking indifferently.

This newcomer was none other than Wang Zhanxin, a peak Minor Heavenly Stature True Monarch from the Eternal Temple.

"I've been here, who could miss such a commotion?" Wang Zhanxin spoke with a cold sneer, his face later adorned with a sardonic smile as he said, "But, don't you two feel something strange? The Lan Family is out for revenge, and rightly so, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the person is from your Qi Family Fort, and you instructed him to kill Lan Zhan and seize the Black Light Great Sword?"

This statement caused everyone's expression to change; such an accusation was serious. If the Qi Family Fort had indeed done such a despicable thing, other forces would surely band together against them.

After all, if the Qi Family Fort could secretly instigate someone to kill the Lan Family's members and rob their belongings, why couldn't they turn around and do the same to them? With one person dead, everyone would feel endangered, and there's some truth to that.

"Wang Zhanxin, you're making quite an extensive accusation." Hou Shan's eyes, cold and fierce, looked at Wang Zhanxin, speaking slowly.

"Heh, really?" Wang Zhanxin sneered, unfazed, instead laughing meaningfully as he said, "Haven't you exposed yourselves with your own charade?"

"Cackle, cackle, cackle..." Suddenly, a repulsive laughter sounded, a demonic gust passing by, revealing the figure of an old one-eyed blind man. He cackled as he looked at Hou Shan and Li Pangbo, chillingly saying, "Could it really be you who acted in secret? If so, the sword should be in your hands now, right? Sell it to me, sell me the sword, and I'll help you kill a few more of the Lan Family's wastes, how about it? Worth the deal, right?"

"The Old Blind Man of Four Directions Demon Sect?" Everyone's expression changed drastically, looking at the blind old man with fear and astonishment. This old guy was one of the most dangerous old monsters of the Four Directions Demon Sect, but years ago he was blinded by the Lan Family's Elderly Woman of Kunshan, holding a grudge ever since. Now, seeing this scene, he couldn't resist stepping out to make trouble.

"You, you..." The Lan Family's six Minor Heavenly Position characters and the Seven Sword Guardians of the Clan glared angrily at the newcomer, their eyes red and fierce, but none dared to step forward with any harsh retort.

This Old Blind Man was known for being lawless and vicious, having secretly caused the death of at least two or three of their Lan Family's Minor Heavenly Position characters. Yet lacking evidence, and backed by the formidable Four Directions Demon Sect, they could only suppress their rage, swallowing their bitterness.

So over time, they had grown fearful of this old creature. It became a habit.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense. Li Pangbo and Hou Shan glanced at each other, remained silent for a moment, then shook their heads, stepping aside.

"I told you it's just a greeting. If not welcomed, then forget it, goodbye."

Having said that, the two turned and left.

"Hmph!" Seeing Li Pangbo and Hou Shan step aside and leave, the elderly swordsman Lan Qiu snorted coldly, his face sullen, then waved his big hand, saying, "Let's go."

With that, they swiftly vanished into the sky, departing. Wang Zhanxin was tolerable, but the blind man was among the last people they wished to see, so the sooner they left, the better.

"Heh, heh." Seeing this, Wang Zhanxin shook his head with a contemptuous smile, looking at the near distant Old Blind Man, saying, "It seems you've truly made the Lan Family fearful of you, so scared they dare not speak a word?"

The Old Blind Man cackled, touching the pustule on his face, raspingly saying, "That old witch of the Lan Family blinded one of my eyes back then. If it weren't for her power countering mine and me losing, I would have slaughtered that heap of trash from the Lan Family long ago..."

As he spoke, he humped his back, a swirl of demonic qi underfoot as he stepped directly onto it, sticking out his crimson tongue, cackling maliciously while taking flight, saying, "Today is just right. It's been a long time since an opportunity like this to profit came along, can't miss it."

Speaking, he leisurely rose into the sky, also pursuing in the direction where the Lan Family and others had disappeared.

Watching this scene, Wang Zhanxin fell silent for a long time, finally unable to help but murmur, "This old lunatic!"

With that, his figure flickered and he too disappeared.

Meanwhile, in the area where Chen Fei was located, on the cliff, he sat cross-legged, the sea breeze blowing, the sun setting, and the sky gradually darkening. Before long, a cold and silent atmosphere emerged at this time, permeating the world.

Staring into the distant sky, Chen Fei was expressionless, silent and unmoving. After a long time, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and then a faint cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he murmured to himself.

"Finally, the suicidal fools are coming..."
