Everyone was horror stricken as they watched Chen Fan kill the Hu family siblings. Feng Yuqiu, Nin Haichao and the elites from other families hung fearful expressions on their faces. Meanwhile, the Wu sisters were stupefied.

Even Situ Cheng wore a shocked look.

Wang Xuanlong and Lichen were the least affected by the development. They had been taken aback at first, but quickly gathered themselves. However powerful Chen Fan’s attack might seem, they could pull that off just as easily.

“He’s a hot headed one,” a white-haired elder shook his head and lamented.

“Just so. I agree that we have underestimated Elixir Monarch Chen’s power. Who would have thought that he could defeat Hu Xiao so easily? However, I hope he knows how much trouble he is in. The Hu family of Xuandu has presided over the land for many generations, commanding a world-shattering might.”

The scholarly man heaved a sigh as consternation flashed in his eyes. “There are more powerful forces on the plateau aside from just Hu Xiao.”

His words had hit the mark.

Once the crowd had recovered from the initial shock, they realized something immediately.

There were another four elites on the Longevity Roll around Chen Fan.

Heavenly Jade Sword Prince, Goddess Long Hua and the Young Lord of Gufen City; they were all Overlords on the Longevity Roll and possessed enough power to strike Hu Xiao down. Not to mention Wang Xuanlong and the fact that they were on the Wang Family’s territory.

Those facts quickly calmed everyone.

“Chen Beixuan, you’re a savage dog! Hu Xiao invited you to his family, did you really have to do this?” Feng Yuqiu stepped forward and pointed a finger at Chen Beixuan.

“Just so, Brother Hu was simply doing the collective bidding of all the families. Do you want to be the public enemy in the Beihuang Region?”

Shang Hangkong fumed.

Nin Haichao waved a sleeve and said with a great measure of righteousness, “He’s a vile murderer. Don’t let him get away.”

Even Situ Cheng heaved a sigh and lamented, “Elixir Monarch Chen, Young Master Xuanlong had made it clear that revoking your title was a temporary measure. They will give you a fair trial before making a final decision. Why did you have to do this?

Situ Cheng shook his head as if lamenting Chen Fan’s downfall.

Lichen’s face darkened a little as a sharp light glinted in his eyes. His body was shrouded in a conflagration.

Wang Xuanlong let out a cold snort as his anger flared. Chen Fan’s disregard of his words chafed against his mind. Meanwhile, Long Hua tood a steep forward and closed Chen Fan’s escape route.

Although those elites had so far kept quiet, the look on their faces had exposed their feelings. If Chen Fan couldn’t give them a satisfactory reason for killing Hu Xiao, they would bring him into justice.

“Oh no!”

Wu Qinyan felt her heart skip a beat.

The elites of the Beihuang Region had forced Chen Fan into a corner. The thought of taking on so many powerful fighters was suffocating for her.

“What’s going to happen now? Elixir Monarch Chen might be strong, but will he ward off so many Longevity Roll elites?”

Lin Wuhua’s face became as pale as a piece of paper.

Knowing Chen Fan stood no chance, the countless onlookers shook their heads.

“Surrender now and we might spare you life for the sake of our friendship with the Alchemy Guild,” Nin Haichao said coldly.

Feng Yuqiu gave Wu Baisu a surreptitious glance. “Does the Wu Family have anything to say about this? Make a move if you want to be ostracized by all the other families.”

Wu Baisu’s face was iron and her lips were sealed.

“Hm.”

Wang Xuanfeng scoffed loudly. The Wu family’s attitude had even irked Wang Xuanlong.

“My lady, let’s not get involved in this,” said a young member of the Wu Family.

“Just so, sister. Chen Beixuan had nothing to do with the Wu Family. He made some pill for us and got paid for it. That’s all. Why should we stand up for him?” Wu Xiao complained.

Wu Xiao was not as powerful as Wu Baisu, but she had attained the Golden Core and was able to land on the Ancient Deity Plateau nonetheless.

“What is the meaning of this?” Wu Qinyan peeled her eyes and asked with rancor.

Lin Wuhua also looked over at her.

“They meant exactly what I have just said. Chen Beixuan is in the wrong. He needlessly killed two members of the Hu family while everyone had promised to protect his safety and reputation. The Wu Family should not stand by a heartless murderer such as Chen Beixuan!” Wu Xiao flung back at her sister.

“That’s right!”

“Just so!”

Many young Wu Family members chimed in.

By then, even Wu Baisu started to waver. In the end, she heaved a sigh and moved away from Chen Fan.

The development gave Lin Wuhua a pang of despair. Wu Qinyan’s face looked troubled and embarrassed. However, Chen Fan still had a smile on his face, and didn’t mind the loss of an ally.

“Chen Beixuan, not even the Wu Family is willing to stand up for you. You should abandon all hope now,” Feng Yuqiu said with a smirk.

‘Why? Would you like to die as well? “Chen Fan cracked an eerie smile.

Feng Yuqiu’s face hardened.

The Feng family of the Zilan State was a Heavenly Lord Family. Among Feng Yuqiu’s ancestors, one had been a Heavenly Lord who had dominated Tianhuang using his Wind Element Qi many centuries in the past. Feng Yuqiu had reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core and was ranked among the top five of the Beihuang Region’s young cultivators.

His strength was only slightly greater than that of Hu Xiao. Therefore, he would not last long under Chen Fan’s deadly force.

“Hehe, Chen Beixuan, you can laugh at me because I’m weaker. But there are four Longevity Roll elites who are ready to tear you apart. Your little trick is no match against their powerful arts!”

Feng Yuqiu gathered himself and sneered at Chen Fan.

“I can sense your strength, and I’m indeed impressed by your Wood Element Divine Power. However, I will still be able to easily deal with you because of your low level of attainment,” Lichen said with a hint of regret in his voice.

A few sparkly lights appeared on his body as he spoke. They shot out into the sky as they gained size and brightness by the second. Many people’s faces paled at the sight. They knew that the light came from the Heavenly Jade Institute’s incredible Sword Art. Each of the glittering lights was a deadly Sword Qi.

“That’s enough.”

Gufen folded his hands.

Long Hua also shot out an arm, casting a purple energy dome over the plateau, cutting off access to the battleground.

Someone exclaimed a name: “Heavenly Dome of Violet Cloud.” It was the Long family’s famous Spirit Treasure. Not even the most powerful Art of Concealment could sneak out of the dome.

“Chen Beixuan is going to lose.”

The Scholarly cultivator shook his head.

Meanwhile, Violet Moon Fairy heaved a sigh of lamentation. The Ethereal Heavenly Sect was right next to the Dragon Burial Region. Therefore, she knew the power of the Heavenly Dome of Violet Cloud better than most people. Many years past, Long Hua had used this Spirit Treasure to ward off the attacks of three of her fellow sect sisters, while all of them being on the Longevity Roll.

“Kneel or we will kill!” Wang Xuanfeng shouted.

Chen Fan stood still; an azure light surged in his eyes. “DIE!”

“Boom!”

The battle began in an instant.

Five gushing Qi Energy surges were shot up and went straight for Chen Fan from all directions. The entire plateau was filled to the brim with the deadly energy from those five attacks.

The sight drove many people outside of the dome to a fit of panic. Wu Baisu stopped as she made her way to safety and rushed to save Lin Wuhua before it was too late.

“Go to hell!”

A pair of dark wings appeared behind Feng Yuqi. They were over a hundred meters wide and a single flap of these wings would cause deadly typhoons that would wipe out everything in its path.

The elites had attacked at once. Feng Yuqiu, Nin Haichao, Shang Hangkong and Daoist Tai Yi had also hurled their deadly energy at Chen Fan.

So far, none of the Longevity Roll elites had gotten involved yet. Their prestige and power made them believe that Chen Fan was beneath them, and the combined might of the other elites should be enough to do away with him.

“Heavenly Wings of Xuanfeng!”

Feng Yuqiu fanned out his dark wings, their sharp tips sliced reality open, creating a pair of hundred meter long slits in space.

“That is the Heavenly Lord’s Divine Powers,” someone shouted.

Shang Hangkong, Nin Haichao and Daoist Tai Yi didn’t hold back either.

“Heaven Annihilating Art of the Martial Emperor.”

“Twin Blades of Ethereal Firmament.”

“Heaven Battle Art of Tai Yi!”

All of them used their most powerful Heavenly Lord Arts. Their energy shook the ground, making the world tremble before their might.

The audience was shaken to the core.

Even Zhao Juexian put on a shocked look. Each of the five attackers were as powerful as him. If he were to take on five of them at the same time, he would have been annihilated in an instant.

“What a shame. Their enemy is Heavenly Lord Chen.”

Zhao Juexian shot Chen Fan a glance and then lowered his head in deference.

As soon as the Wu family sisters and Lin Wuhua flew out of the danger zone, they watched as an unbelievable sight played out before them.

Surrounded by five deadly attacks, Chen Fan stood unflinchingly. His sleeves and dark hair danced against the wind. He lifted one hand, and brought it above his head.

“Azure Thearch… God Killing Hand!”

As Chen Fan shouted out the name of the art, a wave of energy, ten times more frightening burst out from his body.

The four Longevity Roll elites were floored when they saw Chen Fan’s art.

They watched as Chen Fan’s five stretching fingers turned into five monstrous pillars that supported heaven. They towered above the Ancient Deity Plateau, turning his enemies into insects within his palm.

“Stop!” Wang Xuanlong shouted, but it was too late.

“Boom!”

The palm pressed down and crushed the top few hundred meters of the Ancient Deity Plateau.

A mushroom cloud rose to the sky, pushing away the other clouds that were already there. A shock wave rippled out from the plateau, sweeping across the mountains around it and shaking them violently. The shockwave made many cultivators stagger under the plateau, making them think that the sky had fallen.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan’s enemies were nowhere to be seen. They had perished completely under Chen Fan’s unforgiving palm attack.

He had killed five young elites with one push of his palm.

“Stth!”

When the dust finally settled, everyone was stunned by the aftermath.

It was a terrifying sight to behold.
