Chapter 2010 - 1875: Internal Strife and External Threats

Chapter 2010: Chapter 1875: Internal Strife and External Threats

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The turmoil not only failed to subside but seemed to be escalating!

On the Human Clan’s Ancient Star Path, you could hear discussions everywhere about Ye Fan’s earth-shattering battle in the Tenth Ancient City!

This time, among the four fallen Saint Lords, three were city lords from other ancient cities, yet they perished in the Tenth Ancient City.

This was simply an unbearable weight for the Human Clan’s Ancient Star Path!

Many people believed that Ye Fan was too bloodthirsty, surely a Demon Clan spy, otherwise, how could he possess such terrifying combat power?

However, a significant number of people thought that Ye Fan couldn’t possibly be a Demon Clan spy and must have been unfairly treated to act so aggressively. Otherwise, after cutting down Law Enforcer Pang Shitong, there was no one left in the Tenth Ancient City to confront him, so why didn’t he massacre the city?

It’s known that the Demon Clan, like human-shaped creatures, are inherently violent, relying on the death energy emitted during the demise of living beings to cultivate.

The Tenth Ancient City had hundreds of thousands of people, not counting those Xuan Beasts as mounts. If he had massacred the city, how massive would the amount of death energy be?

In one of the ancient cities on the Ancient Star Path, the Demon Clan’s proud Divine Prince and others also learned about Ye Fan’s impressive feat!

They were collectively petrified!

With his own power, he turned a certain-death situation around, counter-killing five elder-generation Saint Lord Level strong people. This achievement felt unreal to them.

"Such terrifying combat power indeed..."

The Demon Clan’s Divine Prince stood in the wind, two rays of strange light shooting from his eyes, muttering to himself.

He felt a chill in his heart, the gap between him and Ye Fan growing increasingly wider, making him feel incredulous!

Who is he?

The Divine Prince, the blood of the Sky-Breaking God Emperor, sealed since before the Taigu era to this age, believed to emerge and sing triumphantly to reach the Supreme position.

To his surprise, shortly after stepping onto the Ancient Star Path, he encountered Ye Fan and was defeated in battle, nearly shattering his indomitable Martial Arts Will.

Now, Ye Fan had grown even stronger, slaying five elder-generation Saint Lords. Such combat power — could anyone in the younger generation across the entire Ancient Star Path achieve this?!

It was known that Ye Fan had not used an Emperor Weapon, achieving this with his own combat power alone.

"Divine Prince, don’t think too much. Given time, you will definitely be the strongest!"

The nine-tailed fox girl approached gently and spoke softly.

"The path of Proving Dao is fraught with hardships..."

The Divine Prince sighed deeply, withdrawing his gaze, glancing at the nine-tailed fox girl beside him.

"Divine Prince, I have a question."

The young strongman of the Powerful Bull Demon Clan, Niu Yi, swayed his big head over, saying, "With Ye Fan’s strength, if he had wanted to kill us that day, could we still be alive now?"

"Shut up!"

Before the Divine Prince could speak, other followers sternly rebuked Niu Yi, telling him to be quiet.

"Did I say anything wrong?"

With his neck stiffened, Niu Yi glared with his bull eyes, saying, "Don’t forget, back then, it was he who let us go voluntarily. If he really wanted to kill us, we wouldn’t have survived. Perhaps, just as he said, he truly wasn’t a Demon Clan spy, and we all wronged him."

"Even if he is not a Demon Clan spy, so what? That Ye killed so many of our Demon Clan’s talents, he’s already irreconcilable with us. Regardless of whether he’s a Demon Clan or not, he must die!"

A young strongman from the Bei Clan said coldly.

"Exactly, don’t you remember? Back then, how many of our clan’s elites died at his hands, even the Heavenly Prince was killed by him. If this person is not removed, he will be a great calamity for our Demon Clan!"

Another follower of the Divine Prince echoed.

"Hmph! Perhaps we don’t even need to take action; the Human Clan might kill him themselves!"

The nine-tailed fox girl gritted her teeth and said.

In the previous battle, she suffered the most miserably, her image utterly ruined, harboring deep resentment.

"If possible, I truly wish to defeat him with my own hands, paving my own Godless Path..."

The Divine Prince’s expression was melancholic, muttering to himself.

Meanwhile, deep within the endless Ancient Star Path, Tu Sihai and the other five also learned of this matter and were deeply shocked.

"Boss, what should we do?"

With a gloomy face, Luo Yifu spoke, being closely connected to Zheng Wuji, not expecting Zheng Wuji to meet a gruesome end at Ye Fan’s hands, leaving him terrified.

"Yes, boss, you make a decision!" The others chimed in.

They were afraid, truly afraid. Ye Fan had even slaughtered a late-stage Venerable Realm law enforcer; such combat power was beyond what they could contend with.

"From now on, let’s avoid him as much as possible, avoiding encounters with him. In the vast Star Domain, it won’t be so easy for him to find us!" Tu Sihai said.

The six communicated secretly through a bone mirror, ultimately deciding unanimously to avoid Ye Fan as much as possible, letting the elder strong people of the Human Clan deal with Ye Fan, removing this threat for them.

"From now on, act cautiously, and avoid unnecessary contact. If other Humans detect us, we will have no place to be buried, understood?"

Finally, Tu Sihai ordered sternly, advising against contacting others unless necessary, to prevent revealing any weaknesses.

The influence of this incident was growing, spreading to a wider range, not only limited to the Ancient Star Path but even known by other Life Origin Stars.

Naturally, this included the Xuan Realm of Linxian Ancient Star! ℯℯ𝘭.

The first to receive the news was not the human race of the Xuan Realm, but the Demon Clan!

When the news reached the Demon Clan in the Xuan Realm, the entire Demon Clan was almost boiling over, and many demon geniuses were stunned.

"Quasi-Emperor, I believe we should send out a few elders to enter the Xing Kong Gu Road and quickly kill the one surnamed Ye, to prevent him from harming more of our demon clan geniuses." A Demon King proposed to Chi Lin.

Other Demon Kings also echoed the sentiment, suggesting to send more elders, not giving Ye Fan any chance.

Chi Lin gently shook his head and said, "You are all mistaken. If Ye Fan were truly doing such things, there is no way the Divine Prince and others could still be alive now. But they are unharmed, which shows that Ye Fan has not struck against our demon clan."

"But..."

The demon wanted to say that by the time bad news arrived, it would be too late to say anything.

However—

Before he could open his mouth, the demon Quasi-Emperor Chi Lin continued, "Moreover, whether Ye Fan is a demon clan spy or not, the decision on how to handle him should be left to the human race; we should not interfere."

"Quasi-Emperor, this concerns the safety of the Divine Prince, please reconsider!"

A group of demon kings knelt, hoping Chi Lin would send strong people into the Xing Kong Gu Road to kill Ye Fan, or else they couldn’t feel at ease.

"My mind is made up, no need for further words; just manage yourselves well."

Chi Lin’s authoritative voice echoed in the ears of the demon kings, and he was already gone.

Shortly after the demon clan received the news, the human race of the Xuan Realm also received the news and were shocked beyond measure.

How long has it been?

Ye Fan’s strength has grown so quickly, making many people uneasy!

Five Saint Lord Level strong people...

Among them was a law enforcer from the Xing Kong Gu Road, and all were wiped out in one battle; this achievement is truly too glorious.

Northern Domain!

Gu Family!

In the golden and splendid hall, a group of white-haired elders gathered together, discussing something.

The leader was a pinnacle Venerable Realm, Supreme Holy Master Level strong person of the Gu Family, already a Supreme Elder, with an esteemed status!

"The purpose of gathering everyone here this time is to enter the Xing Kong Gu Road and kill the brat surnamed Ye, to eliminate this harm for all living beings!"

The words of the Gu Family’s Supreme Elder were sonorous and stern, seemingly truly for all of humanity, for all living beings.

However, the attendees knew this was just an excuse; the real purpose was to kill Ye Fan and avenge their clansmen.

Among the attendees were the Li Family and Zhou Family from the Northern East Domain, also some Wu Shang Sects and Holy Lands.

They all had one thing in common: a Saint Heir or heir died at Ye Fan’s hands, having a deep-seated grudge against Ye Fan.

This was also the cleverness of the Gu Family.

They knew that rallying others was useless; the Southern East Domain’s Barbarian clan, Nine Great Bandits, Immortal Academy, Imperial Academy, Treasure Pavilion, Spirit Manor, Eastern Domain Sikong Family—these forces all had ties with Ye Fan, it was impossible for them to act.

At this moment, they could only watch and not act to help Ye Fan; being grateful for that was already something, but expecting them to join to besiege Ye Fan?

Therefore, this time, those entering the Xing Kong Gu Road to besiege Ye Fan were almost all those with deep hatreds against him, who would absolutely spare no effort in their actions.

"We are all here for this, willing to follow Ancient Senior’s lead, ready to be ordered!"

A group of white-haired elders spoke one after the other, with killing intent soaring, eyes flashing with sharp light.

Their gathering couldn’t be hidden from the eyes and ears of Treasure Pavilion; gatherings of strong people of this level, trying to conduct it silently, was simply impossible.

Moreover, they were not afraid of being known, because they believed they occupied the righteous cause, killing demon clan spies to eliminate harm for the human race and all living beings, was upright.

"Grandpa, discuss with other grandpas, also enter the Xing Kong Gu Road, protect Ye Zi!"

Meanwhile, Hu Fei found his grandfather Hu Tian.

Because Hu Tian possessed an Emperor Weapon, his words carried weight; if the Nine Great Bandits joined forces to enter the Xing Kong Gu Road, it would likely make many people fear.

"Kid, don’t worry, nothing will happen; he is much stronger than you."

Hu Tian said with a smile, then changed the subject and continued, "Honestly, I really want to throw you onto the Xing Kong Gu Road to temper you for a while."

"Alright, I’ll go!"

Hu Fei gritted his teeth, decided to enter the Xing Kong Gu Road to reunite with Ye Fan; no matter what, a good brother, they’d die together if necessary.

"Save it!"

Hu Tian gave Hu Fei a flick on the head, saying, "I only have one grandson like you, still counting on you to take care of me in old age; your talent is lacking, the Xing Kong Gu Road is too harsh, I don’t want you to die unnecessarily."

"How do you know I will definitely fall? Maybe I’ll defeat all strong people on the Xing Kong Gu Road!" Hu Fei muttered.

"What are you muttering? Get into seclusion!"

Hu Tian kicked him into a cave, set up a restriction at the entrance, not allowing him to exit for several years.

"You old bastard, this is illegal detention..." Hu Fei wailed inside the cave.

"This little rascal..."

Hu Tian cursed with amusement, but secretly sighed in his heart, "Every Great Emperor, the Proving Dao path is never easy; if young Ye Fan can withstand this tribulation, what will others have to contend with him?!"
