Chapter 481 - 263: Cloud Heaven Spirit Gathering Array, Another Kingdom Destroyed
Boom boom boom...
Behind the Dragon Royal Palace, this place was originally the ancestral land of the Qin Family and a natural Grotto Heaven Blessed Land. The reason the Qin Family chose to establish their capital here in the past was entirely because of this blessed land.
At this moment, as Wei Fan planted array banners into the ground, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi here rapidly increased, and its spirituality grew more abundant.
Long Jianying’s eyes shone with a sharp light: "His array formation technique is so skilled, forming so many array banners in such a short time, could he already be a Martial King?"
In fact, by now, many people speculated that Wei Fan had become a Martial King, but Wei Fan never publicly admitted it, even Long Jianying and others couldn’t be sure if Wei Fan was truly a Martial King.
Seeing Wei Fan’s skilled array formation technique at this moment, he couldn’t help but doubt again.
Although a Martial Venerable can also learn formations, no one other than a Martial King powerhouse could apply formations to such an extent; each array banner driven into the ground enhances the majestic power of Heaven and Earth.
No Martial Venerable could wield such methods apart from a Martial King.
Rumble rumble...
When the last array banner was buried underground, the entire back mountain and Imperial Palace trembled, emitting a heart-pounding momentum.
All at once, Essence Qi within the entire Capital City rushed over, pouring into the grand array, and after a while, the array’s commotion subsided.
Looking again, the mountain was still the same mountain, but it felt completely different, as if he had arrived at a Spirit Mountain Holy Land.
"This is the banner to control the grand array, take good care of it, old man. The array is only in its initial form now, still merging with the surrounding landscapes. After some time, once the array integrates fully with the surrounding heaven and earth, no one but a Martial King could survive breaking through it!"
Wei Fan flew over and handed the control banner of the array to Long Jianying.
This array is the same as the Mountain Protection Array of the Extreme Martial Sect, but the Mountain Protection Array of the Extreme Martial Sect, due to the founding ancestor’s cultivation level in array formations not being very deep, is far less potent than the one laid by Wei Fan!
He augmented it with his panel, directly elevating the array’s level far beyond the founding ancestor of Extreme Martial Sect, so the power of the formation laid was far beyond that of the Extreme Martial Sect’s array.
Long Jianying accepted the banner: "What’s the name of this array?"
"It is the Cloud Heaven Spirit Gathering Array, both offensive and defensive, and able to gather Essence Qi from all directions. The longer the array exists, the denser the Essence Qi inside becomes. This place will henceforth be where Dragon Kingdom nurtures its elite disciples!"
Single-handedly creating a cultivation holy land for a kingdom, Wei Fan appeared to have a sense of accomplishment. In his discussions with Long Jianying, this place would become a cradle for Dragon Kingdom’s experts, and he wanted every powerhouse of Dragon Kingdom to emerge from here.
"Good!" Long Jianying shouted: "With the Cloud Heaven Spirit Gathering Array, my Dragon Kingdom is now grounded in Martial King stature, and in the future, I shall use this as a starting point to pacify the Wilderness’ Demon Fiends!"
From initial reluctance, he now readily pronounced "We," clearly having truly embraced the role of Emperor.
With a grand aspiration rising in his heart, Long Jianying spoke grandly about leading Dragon Kingdom to flatten the Wilderness’ Demon Fiends, glancing at the Cloud Heaven Spirit Gathering Array set up by Wei Fan.
Of course, he wasn’t just boasting; bearing the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, it wasn’t impossible for him to become a Martial King in the future.
In truth, his talent wasn’t poor; it was only when faced with someone like Wei Fan who seemed to defy the norms, that he appeared ineffectual.
It’s known that the opportunity to gain the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations was originally Long Jianying’s, not Wei Fan’s. Wei Fan merely benefited from Long Jianying’s fortune.
The Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations is such an unparalleled divine skill, it would be normal to take a few years for entry-level, and a few hundred years to master one transformation, yet Wei Fan mastered one transformation in the span of ten days, something unheard of in history.
"Old man, your spirit remains undiminished!"
Wei Fan cupped his hands and said: "Now that Dragon Kingdom is stable, it’s time for this junior to leave. If someone causes trouble, inform the Demon Hunter Organization through Shentu Bao, and I will come!"
He intended to leave; with what he left Dragon Kingdom, unless a Martial King personally came, Long Jianying and the others would be safe. If a Martial King indeed attacked, even if he were present, he might not protect Long Jianying.
Leaving the Dragon Kingdom was actually beneficial for Long Jianying and others.
"Are you afraid of implicating us?" Long Jianying wasn’t dim-witted and immediately understood Wei Fan’s concern.
The Desert Martial Alliance had yet to take action, but that didn’t mean matters had concluded. Wei Fan executed a few disciples, and if Guangling Sect doesn’t seek revenge, the Holy Sect will become a laughing stock worldwide.
Additionally, on the side of Demon Fiends, it was said that the Saint Son of the Profound Crane Sect, along with the Little Ape King and Little Lion King, were also slain by Wei Fan, and they wouldn’t let it rest.
If Wei Fan stayed in Dragon Kingdom, there could be a day when the Demon Fiends and Desert Martial Alliance showed up at the doorstep.
Wei Fan shook his head: "Not all of it, I also have matters with the Yunhua Sect to handle. With seventy to eighty thousand disciples homeless, I must help find them a place to settle!"
After he returned, Chu Kingdom dared not trouble Yunhua Sect again, but the residence issue for Yunhua Sect’s tens of thousands of disciples still needed addressing.
Seeing this, Long Jianying did not persist in keeping Wei Fan. He merely suggested Wei Fan bid farewell to Long Xueyi.
"No need, both Xueyi and I are not sentimental people. Please convey my farewell, old man!"
While speaking, Wei Fan called to Li Yunfei and Xie Cailin, and together they soared into the sky, leaving the Dragon Kingdom directly.
"Are you going to destroy the Chu Imperial Family?" Li Yunfei asked, looking at Wei Fan excitedly.
He had never imagined that by following Wei Fan, he might one day annihilate a dynasty.
Wei Fan nodded: "Perhaps I will!"
Yunhua Sect’s disciples are not easy to settle; seventy to eighty thousand people equate to the population of some small county towns. It’s challenging to find a place to accommodate so many people.
Destroying the Chu Imperial Family and letting Yunhua Sect take over Chu Kingdom seems to be the best solution.
However, he was still hesitating. After all, the Chu Kingdom was not the Great Victory Dynasty. He had left the Great Victory Dynasty and had connections with many people here. After seizing the Qin Family’s lands, with the assistance of Pei Shinan, Shentu Bao, and others, Long Jianying was also the former general and had connections with many generals, so he could quickly gain control of the Qin Family’s territory.
But he had no acquaintances in the Chu Kingdom, and taking over the Song Family’s territory was not difficult; the problem lay in the subsequent management.
There were also no connections with the Yunhua Sect and the Demon Suppression Bureau in the Chu Kingdom, and forcibly elevating the Yunhua Sect might not be a good thing.
"If you’re really worried, after exterminating the Song Family, you could find a master from the Demon Suppression Bureau to become the emperor. Then let the new emperor grant a piece of land to the Yunhua Sect. I see neither Dongfang Ye nor Ji Qingyue are the type to desire being emperor!"
Xie Cailin proposed, suggesting that it wasn’t necessary for the members of the Yunhua Sect to become emperors, as long as the placement of Yunhua Sect disciples could be addressed.
Wei Fan nodded lightly, "That is indeed a solution!"
...
Chu Royal Palace.
"Still no sign of Wei Fan?" Song Yi said solemnly.
Since hearing that Wei Fan had exterminated the Qin Family of the Great Victory Dynasty and slaughtered the disciples of the Guangling Sect, the Song Family had been trying to resolve their grudge with Wei Fan.
The Demon Hunter Organization didn’t intervene, so they sent people to the Dragon Kingdom to seek an audience with Wei Fan, but they still hadn’t seen Wei Fan.
Over such a long time, the Song Family had been in a state of constant fear, even secretly sending away a batch of elite disciples to preserve the bloodline in case Wei Fan truly exterminated the Song Family.
"No, the emissaries sent out haven’t seen Wei Fan, nor have they even seen Long Jianying!" said a Martial Venerable from the Song Family, shaking his head.
"Ancestor, should I just give up the throne and hide the family, maybe there’s still a chance for the Song Family!"
If the Song Family abandoned the throne and dispersed, even if Wei Fan still wanted to exterminate the Song Family, he couldn’t possibly hunt down every single member all over the world.
This method was actually quite good because if they really did this, Wei Fan indeed wouldn’t hunt them everywhere.
However, the proposal was immediately vetoed by Song Yi.
The honorable imperial family disbands before the enemy even arrives; even if they survive, they would lose face entirely. Better off dead than that.
"Not good!"
Song Yi’s expression suddenly changed drastically, as a terrifying sensation was transmitted to him through his Martial Arts Spiritual Sense.
Boom!
In the next moment, everything in front of Song Yi, including the Song Family experts, exploded, turning to ashes as a massive surge of lightning violently expanded before his eyes, destroying everything within a hundred meters in an instant!
Lightning?
This was an attack from Wei Fan’s Divine Bow!
"Wei Fan is here!"
Song Yi screamed as True Essence surged from his entire being, desperately resisting the lightning.
He wasn’t at the center of the explosive lightning, and together with the consumption of some of the lightning by the several Martial Venerables of the Song Family, by the time the lightning reached him, it couldn’t kill him, the first ancestor expert of the Song Family.
After a brief moment, the lightning dissipated, leaving an arrow quivering in the ground, and only two charcoal-black figures of the Song Family’s Martial Venerables who had been discussing Wei Fan, remained alive, emitting wisps of smoke.
The other Martial Venerables of the Song Family, including the main hall, had been evaporated by the terrifying lightning, erased from the world.
"Ancestor..."
"This Wei Fan, the Killing God, came. I suggested disbanding the Song Family, yet you spoke of royal dignity. Are you satisfied now?"
Seeing the scene before them, the two charred Martial Venerables of the Song Family trembled in fear.
There were eleven Martial Venerables in the Song Family, and seven or eight Divine Realm Martial Sect members had been discussing Wei Fan together here.
Yet after Wei Fan’s single attack, eight of the eleven Martial Venerables were dead, the Divine Realm Martial Sect members were all wiped out.
The destructive ripples spread, and countless ordinary disciples were likely crushed to death. Half of the entire palace had virtually been razed to the ground.
The Martial Venerable who suggested disbanding the Song Family loudly questioned Song Yi, showing no trace of reverence for the ancestor anymore.
In front of such a menacing Wei Fan, what’s the use of dignity and face? Do you really think it would spare you from being killed?
"Wei Fan, you despicable and vicious beast!"
Song Yi’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with rage.
Although he said it was disgraceful to flee before the enemy’s arrival, preferring death, seeing almost all the Song Family Martial Venerables die in front of him, he regretted it.
If he had decisively disbanded the Song Family earlier, not so many people would have died in vain.
Now, with eight Martial Venerables shot dead from afar by Wei Fan, who cares if the Song Family maintained dignity; everyone only knew that the Song Family provoked Wei Fan and was exterminated.
"I am Wei Fan. People of the Chu Kingdom Capital, listen well: no one is allowed to enter or leave the city temporarily, violators will be killed without mercy!"
A loud shout echoed throughout the Chu Kingdom Capital, several resplendent golden figures spread out, sealing off the Chu Kingdom Capital. Meanwhile, another figure slowly flew towards the direction of the imperial palace.
