Chapter 1538: Chapter 1529: Wrath
“Ah! Ah! Ah!—”
“No, please don’t kill me. This has nothing to do with me, I don’t even know these people.”
“I’m just here to watch, please spare me!”
“I was wrong, I was wrong, I don’t want to die!”
…
Screams of agony and cries for mercy echoed along the seaside.
Under the leadership of Wufeng Jiang and Wufeng Chi, both at the late stage of the Nirvana Realm, the cultivators by the sea were utterly defenseless.
At this moment.
The cultivators who had just cast stones at Ye Chenfeng, regretted deeply. If they had known that Ye Chenfeng had such a powerful force behind him, even if given a hundred, or even a thousand times the courage, they wouldn’t have dared to surround him.
Yet there’s no remedy for regret in this world,
Once certain actions are taken, they must bear the necessary consequences.
Ye Chenfeng, with the Black Xuan Sword hanging from his back, had a cold expression on his face, indifferent to the cries and screams.
The sand on the ground by the seaside gradually turned crimson with blood.
These cultivators were not worth pity in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes.
If it weren’t for the Sea Clan’s intervention just now, Ye Chenfeng might have been killed at the hands of Tongtian City’s ancestors like Gu XingYuan, and these cultivators would surely have applauded.
This world is like this—where the weak are prey to the strong.
Especially in places like Earth Profound Realm, where strength is supreme.
Dong Yehai, at the initial stage of the fourth level of Nirvana Realm, focused his presence on the Great Elder of the Refining Sect Yang Fande, Tongtian City’s ancestor Gu XingYuan, and Tongtian City’s City Lord Gu Nanhong.
If Yang Fande and the others dared to make any move to flee, Dong Yehai would immediately strike them down.
Soon.
The seaside slowly quietened down, leaving only the sound of the wind stirring the sand.
Except for Ye Chenfeng and the Sea Clan members like Dong Yehai, the only ones alive were the Refining Sect’s Great Elder Yang Fande, Tongtian City’s ancestor Gu XingYuan, and City Lord Gu Nanhong.
Yang Fande and the three of them looked at the bodies on the ground, feeling the endless intent to kill from the Sea Clan members like Dong Yehai, their clothes on their backs were already soaked through.
Ye Chenfeng walked step by step towards Yang Fande and the others.
Dong Yehai noticed this and his aura rose to the extreme.
The oppressive force of the initial stage of the fourth level of Nirvana Realm pressed down on Yang Fande and the others, making their chests feel heavy, unable to move a bit.
After all, among them, Gu XingYuan only had the power of the first level of Nirvana Realm, Gu Nanhong was merely of Reincarnation Realm strength, and Yang Fande’s strength was the weakest, only at Creation Realm.
Ye Chenfeng looked indifferently at Yang Fande, saying, “Your Refining Sect is truly arrogant, aren’t you? Back then, Zhu Wenchang, an elder from your Refining Sect, and I agreed to resolve this with artifact refining. We both staked our lives, he lost to me in refining, so I naturally could take his life.”
Flickers of doubt appeared in Yang Fande’s eyes, while Gu XingYuan and Gu Nanhong knew there was no way to hide the truth now, they only wished to survive.
Thus, Tongtian City’s City Lord Gu Nanhong explained the event of Ye Chenfeng and Zhu Wenchang’s refining duel.
After speaking, Gu Nanhong looked at Ye Chenfeng, and said, “Brother, we were wrong in this matter, please show mercy this time.”
Show mercy?
Ye Chenfeng sneered coldly at the corner of his mouth, looking at Gu XingYuan and Gu Nanhong, who were completely restrained by Dong Yehai, unable to move.
He swiftly drew the Black Xuan Sword from his back.
A flash of black.
The Black Xuan Sword slashed across the necks of Gu XingYuan and Gu Nanhong.
A blood line immediately appeared on their necks.
Soon, the blood line widened, their eyes bulged like lanterns, and their heads rolled to the ground.
Yang Fande, similarly restrained by Dong Yehai, broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and spoke up, “Misunderstanding, all of this is a misunderstanding. We had no idea the true cause of Zhu Wenchang’s death was hidden. Our Refining Sect will surely give you an explanation.”
Yang Fande, the Refining Sect’s Great Elder, spoke with utmost sincerity.
However, Ye Chenfeng still caught a hint of murderous intent in Yang Fande’s eyes.
Ye Chenfeng never intended to spare Yang Fande, whether it was a misunderstanding or not. If the Sea Clan hadn’t appeared, wouldn’t Yang Fande and others have killed Ye Chenfeng?
The Black Xuan Sword in Ye Chenfeng’s hand rose again.
Yang Fande watched as the Black Xuan Sword inched closer to his neck, his face brimming with viciousness. He shouted hoarsely, “You little bastard, just wait. If you kill me, the Refining Sect won’t let you go. I’ll be waiting for you to join me, I…”
“Swish!”
The sound from Yang Fande’s throat abruptly stopped, and his head instantly rolled onto the ground.
However, at the moment of Yang Fande’s death.
A red light flashed from within Yang Fande’s body. Ye Chenfeng hadn’t anticipated this turn of events; the red light swiftly imprinted on Ye Chenfeng’s forehead.
Ye Chenfeng felt that this red light was a kind of spirit imprint.
Ye Chenfeng attempted to use his divine sense to expel this spirit imprint, eventually transferring it from his forehead and briefly stopping on his right arm, leaving a red circle on it.
Being the Great Elder of the Refining Sect, Yang Fande’s body naturally contained some kind of restriction. Once he was killed, the restriction would activate.
If anyone from the Refining Sect were to see the red circle on Ye Chenfeng’s arm in the future, they would instantly recognize him as the one who killed Yang Fande.
Moreover, the restriction on Yang Fande was extremely unusual; even a strong person at the Nirvana Realm couldn’t remove the red circle from Ye Chenfeng’s hand.
However, this red circle would only last five years and would gradually fade away afterwards.
Old White and Old Black also explained about the restriction inside Yang Fande to Ye Chenfeng.
Upon hearing that the red circle on his right arm wouldn’t harm his body, Ye Chenfeng felt completely at ease. After all, he was dressed, and typically, people couldn’t see the red circle on his right arm.
Ye Chenfeng decided not to return to Sunset Island.
The journey from the coast to Sunset Island was time-consuming, so Ye Chenfeng planned to visit the Red Flame Sect to check on his uncle’s children, Sun Xiaoli and Sun Hengfei, and others. How were they faring?
After all, Sun Xiaoli and the others had come to the Earth Profound Realm with Ye Chenfeng back then, but they got separated before reaching it.
Back then, they learned from the people of White Snow Villa that a Red Flame Sect elder had found Sun Xiaoli’s talent appealing, so Sun Xiaoli and the others were taken there. Otherwise, Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t have felt so reassured about them.
Ye Chenfeng had previously obtained the location map of the secluded sect Red Flame Sect from Wu Qingshan, the ancestor of Sunset Island.
Ye Chenfeng took a jade slip from his storage ring.
This jade slip could store sound. After recording his well-being into it, he handed the jade slip to Dong Yehai, saying, “Help me give this jade slip to the ancestor of Sunset Island, Wu Qingshan. You must also be extremely discreet when you go up there.”
The bodies on the coast were naturally left for the Sea Clan to handle.
After arranging everything, Ye Chenfeng set off again.
…
Meanwhile, as Ye Chenfeng headed to the secluded sect Red Flame Sect.
Earth Profound Realm.
Inside the main hall of the Refining Sect.
Wang Zhenshan, the sect master of the Refining Sect, sat at the head seat.
The Second Elder, Chang Baikong, stood at Wang Zhenshan’s lower position, with the other elders standing behind Chang Baikong.
Just moments ago, the Lifebound Token of Great Elder Yang Fande shattered, signaling that Yang Fande was already dead.
The entire hall was filled with anger.
Previously, Elder Zhu Wenchang of the Refining Sect had died, and now it was Great Elder Yang Fande’s turn.
Yang Fande was a Fifth-Rank Artifact Refiner of the Refining Sect and one who had comprehended the Space Law.
Yang Fande’s death dealt a devastating blow to the Refining Sect.
“Investigate! Find out for me! I want to see who dares act recklessly over our Refining Sect. I vow to make the murderer die without a burial place and to take down everyone close to the murderer too,”
Wang Zhenshan’s face was twisted with rage, his early stage Reincarnation Realm Fourth Sky aura churning within him.
The entire Refining Sect erupted in fury once more.
The previous rage had been due to Elder Zhu Wenchang’s death.
This time, the anger was tens of times stronger than before.
After all, Zhu Wenchang’s death didn’t significantly impact the Refining Sect.
But the death of a Great Elder who was a Fifth-Rank Artifact Refiner was a grievous loss for the Refining Sect.
The people of the Refining Sect would never have imagined that both Zhu Wenchang and Yang Fande were killed by Ye Chenfeng, this seemingly insignificant figure in their eyes.
