Chapter 921 VengefulMeanwhile, the Linjiang Gathering was still going on.

Many people looked up in the sky, reminiscing the highest stakes, and the most intense fight they had ever seen in their lives. Long Hua, Gufen, and Heavenly Jade Sword Prince, each and every one of them were as powerful as an Ancestral Patriarch from a Heavenly Lord Family.

However, not even their combined efforts were able to bring down Chen Fan.

“Boom!”

A petrifying shock wave engulfed the world, carrying vast currents of Essence Qi that flooded everything. After the dust was finally settled, five shadows appeared in the sky.

Long Hua’s mouth had been stained by blood; her clothes were in tatters.

Half of Gufen’s body had been scorched by fire.

Wang Xuanlong’s skin was covered with deep cuts. Blood had tainted his shirt and his energy was waning by the second.

Heavenly Jade Sword Prince seemed to be in a better shape, but he was winded as well.

“Do you want to continue fighting?”

Chen Fan looked down at the four and cracked an airy smile.

After the brutal battle, Chen Fan was still unharmed. There wasn’t even a wrinkle on his shirt. Despite his relaxed appearance, everyone knew the battle had been tremendously intense.

Long Hua and her peers had gone all out and used four Quasi-Heavenly Treasures.

Li Chen’s Star Dust Blade, Gufen’s Grand Brahma Fire Wheel and Wang Xuanlong’s Astral Tripod Cauldron were all famous Quasi-Heavenly Treasures passed down from Heavenly Lords.

Not to mention Long Hua’s Dragon’s Bane.

The four Quasi-Heavenly Treasure had been awakened at the same time, sending out ripples of gut wrenching energy that crashed into the city below. Their power changed the course of the river and flooded half of the city.

Such a blow could kill countless Golden Core Cultivators. Even Zhao Juexian conceded that he wouldn’t have lasted longer than a second.

However, Chen Fan had not only survived, he had also defeated four Longevity Roll Elites with great ease and levity.

“What is the name of your sword?”

After a while, Long Hua finally broke the silence. Her voice was husky and dry, and her eyes were still filled with shock.

“Demon Blade of Heaven Slay. It’s from the Ancient Demons. It’s too weak right now, so I might melt it down and forge another blade sometime in the future.” Chen Fan shrugged.

“Weak my a**!”

Long Hua screamed in her mind.

She had experienced the power of that blade first hand just then and it was definitely not weak. It shone with a brilliant light in Chen Fan’s hand and nothing seemed to be able to survive its sharp edge. It sliced open space with each attack, unleashing countless Demon Arts from the abyss as its Blade Qi surged for thirty thousand meters into the heavens.

Long Hua, Gufen or Wang Xuanlong, none of them could handle a single blow from the blade. Even Lichen; he could only last for less than a second.

“What a blade! You are indeed a powerful cultivator and a worthy opponent.” Lichen let out a wry smile.

“Cut the crap and fight. I thought you think I’m not worthy of the title of Elixir Monarch. Don’t you want to deliver justice? Then do it.”

Chen Fan smiled.

“We were wrong about you. You are much more powerful than all four of us. I wager your power is on par with those in the top ten of the Longevity Roll. We have lost the fight.”

Li Chen lowered his head.

“Just so. After this fight, you will make it to the top ten on the Longevity Roll. The Beihuang Region is fortunate to have such a tremendous talent.”

Gufen also nodded.

Meanwhile, Long Hua pulled a dark face, and stood in silent acquiescence.

However, a light flickered in Wang Xuanlong’s eyes as he hesitated.

“If you don’t want to fight, then bugger off.”

Chen Fan sneered.

His insult riled up Long Hua. Even as she was going to flung back at him, Lichen grabbed her arm and pulled her away. The two flew into the distance afterwards.

Being humiliated by someone who was more powerful was a very common occurrence. Tianhuang was a world of cultivation and had to follow the cultivation rules. Chen Fan was much more powerful than them, therefore they had to stomach his insult. Plus, they were the instigators of the fight from the outset.

Wang Xuanlong’s face darkened as he shot Chen Fan with a cold glance.

“Chen Beixuan, I will never be at peace with what happened today until you pay the price.”

“One more word, and I’ll make you rest in peace.”

Chen Fan snickered.

Without a word nor hesitation, Wang Xuanlong turned around and flew away.

Wang Xuanfeng trailed behind his brother, shouting, “Brother, brother! Wait for me!” They were followed by all the other Wang Family members. Their scrambling and clambering was an ironic contrast to their previous dramatic and pompous entrance.

The sight unnerved many cultivators from the Beihuang Region. They looked to Chen Fan with more reverence and respect in their eyes.

Chen Beixuan had scared away Wang Xuanlong from the Wang Family!

Even the slowest cultivator would have figured that the power dynamics in the Beihuang Region were about to shift.

“Whoosh!”

Chen Fan descented and hovered right above Linjiang City.

Although he had tried to move the battle as far from the city as possible, he had destroyed the Ancient Deity Plateau and changed the course of the river. In the half-ruined city, many cultivators looked up at him expectantly.

For a while, no one uttered a word.

“Senior Chen, you kick a**es!”

Yun Yier flew up to Chen Fan and grabbed hold of his arm, hugging it tightly.

“Master.” Zhao Juexian also followed suit.

“Senior Chen, Perfected Cultivator Chen…” Lin Wuhua and Mu Hongti also went over and bowed to Chen Fan. Mu Hongti’s face bloomed like a flower; her slender body swayed slightly as she said, “Congratulations Senior Chen. I’m afraid that you will become famous in the Beihuang Region.”

“Not only in the Beihuang region. Lichen, Long Hua and Gufen were all members of the longevity Roll. Elixir Monarch Chen’s victory would make him a member on the list as well. I wager that only the top warriors on the Longevity Roll could have matched Elixir Monarch’s heroic achievement. I bet his ranking will be higher than Luo Changshen,” Wu Baisu chimed in.

There was a mix of complicated emotions on her face: shock, guilt, and something warm and fuzzy.

Wu Baisu’s shock and disbelief was shared by nearly all the cultivators who had seen the fight.

“I thought he only was an Elixir Monarch, how come he’s such a fearsome warrior?”

Many people were perplexed by the development.

Both cultivation and alchemy were time consuming and required a great measure of devotion. Although some Heavenly Alchemists had been able to attain a Nascent Soul level in their cultivation, their power was a far cry from that of a Heavenly Lord who was trained for battle.

However, Chen Fan was not only able to do both, but did so exceptionally well. He had proven his incredible might by defeating the four elites. It was as if a cook had defeated a black belt Taekwondo master in a competition.

“The Longevity Roll means nothing to me.”

Chen Fan shook his head and landed his gaze on the crowd.

Chen Fan had killed Hu Xiao and Feng Yuqiu, but he didn’t forget their families’ crimes. Lichen and the other elites were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. The real culprit deserving of punishment was the Hu family and the Feng Family.

However, seeing that the two families had only sent their younger generations to the gathering, he decided to spare them for the moment and focus his efforts on their elders back at their homes.

Chen Fan’s icy gaze sent an icy chill down the spines of the Hu family members. Perfected Cultivator Xuannu piled smiles onto his face and asked, “Elixir Monarch Chen, what do you mean?”

Half an hour before, no one thought highly of Chen Beixuan. Both Perfected Cultivator Xuannu and the Sanshan Sect Master were dominant forces in the Beihuang Region, an Elixir Lord simply couldn’t compare.

“So, you are Perfected Cultivator Xuannu? What were you mumbling about me while I was fighting?”

Chen Fan crooked his head slightly and grinned.

“I would never. My loyalty to you is as vast as the northern sea, and will flow through me for fifty thousand years.” Perfected Cultivator Xuannu shook his head.

He ranked among the top fifty of all the cultivators in the Beihuang Region, and was a worthy opponent for Zhao Juexian. However, he would not dare to challenge Chen Fan after watching him kill powerful cultivators with great ease.

“I see. But why don’t I think it’s the same case when it comes to your disciple standing behind you… What is his name? Fang Yan? I don’t think he likes me.”

Chen Fan looked past Perfected Cultivator Xuannu.

Fang Yan had been shaking even before Chen Fan named him. After hearing his name, he nearly fell to the ground in fear. Fang Yan had been injured by Zhao Juexian earlier, but physical injuries were much easier to heal than psychological wounds.

Before the fight, Fang Yan had been planning his revenge, however, after the fight, his only wish was that Chen Fan would forget that he ever existed.

“You imbecile! How dare you offend Elixir Monarch’s companion? I will not let this go unpunished. After we return home, I will break his leg and ground him for a hundred years,” Perfected Cultivator Xuannu said angrily.

“Very well,” Chen Fan nodded and then said, “A hundred year might not be enough, how about a thousand years?”

Perfected Cultivator Xuannu paused for a second and then agreed, “As you wish.”

Fang Yan suddenly collapsed to the ground. He would be able to live just over a thousand years at the most, so he had practically been grounded for life. Fang Yan also knew that his master did not have the balls to lie to Chen Beixuan. As long as Chen Beixuan was still alive, he would be grounded for the rest of his life.

The thought of being confined in one place for his entire life made Fang Yan lose all hope and even the will to live.

Many people exclaimed in their minds, “Chen Beixuan is vengeful. Fang Yan had offended him verbally, and for that he’ll be thrown into confinement for a thousand years. It’s worse than killing him.”

After that, The Sanshan Sect, the Huang family and the An Family stepped forward and stated that they would punish their insolent disciples.

In the end, Chen Fan walked over to Situ Cheng.

“Brother Situ, long time no see. I bet you didn’t expect me to live through this.”

Situ Cheng stood in silence with a dark face.
