Chapter 2132: Chapter 1993: Hidden Agendas

On a moonless night of murder, when the wind roars and fire burns!

The Ancient Zhou Family in the northern part of the Eastern Domain faced a catastrophic blow.

Legions of savage extinction armies marched through, like death gods reaping lives.

Lives were as insignificant as grass, the entire Zhou Family Ancestral Land seemed transformed into Shura Hell, filled with blood and bones.

The mountain of corpses and rivers of blood!

The air was thick with a pungent scent of blood, nauseating.

Cries of battle shook the heavens, blood flowers bloomed as lives withered.

...

The night was deep, but no one slept!

"Will Ye Fan really succumb?"

Eastern Domain.

The Li Family’s Saint furrowed his brow, unsure.

Even with the pressure from the ten great families, given Ye Fan’s rebellious nature, he would likely dismiss it with disdain.

However, he believed that even if Ye Fan didn’t go, this affair would indicate the ten families’ stance, making Ye Fan more restrained in his actions, thus achieving their aim.

Unlike him, the Liang Family Saint of the Northern Domain firmly believed Ye Fan would go to request pardon.

The reason was simple: this time, the Zhou Family held the moral high ground, even Ye Fan’s Quasi-Emperor supporters wouldn’t openly help him, lest they be criticized publicly.

Quasi-Emperors cherish their reputation, valuing it above their lives, and would never act rashly knowing it’s uncalled for.

Even in action, the Gu Family’s Quasi-Emperors would resist, not affecting the situation.

Left alone, Ye Fan, however formidable, could not contend with a thousand-year-old Ancient Family!

If Ye Fan dared defy world opinion, dismissing the Zhou Family’s stern reproach, there would be no place for him in the world.

"I eagerly await good news!"

The corners of the Liang Family Saint’s mouth twisted into a cold smile.

His intentions were more profound, seeking to use this opportunity to reclaim the family’s inherited Dragon Seeking Formulas from Ye Fan.

It was their family’s secret technique, yet Ye Fan had plundered it, causing the family’s status in the Cultivation World to plummet.

Once, the Liang Family looked down on the Cultivation World, every disciple who emerged was treated as a special guest in any power.

Comparing it to their awkward situation now made the Liang Family Saint’s nameless rage flare.

Last time, they joined forces with the Gu Family, sending Venerable Realm Saints afar to hunt Ye Fan, with one primary goal: reclaim their original family Dragon Seeking Formulas.

This time, the opportunity was rare, and he had the plan ready, waiting for Ye Fan to request pardon from the Zhou Family to seize the opportunity to reclaim the Dragon Seeking Formulas and restore the Liang Family’s prestige!

"Ye, let’s see how you end this!"

Meanwhile.

By the edge of an absolute cliff in the Youyun Family, You Yunxiao’s garment flapped in the wind, his eyes cold, gazing toward the Southern Domain!

In the Immortal Treasure Land back then, he was terribly suppressed by Ye Fan, and in the end, he was plundered completely, stripped bare, arrayed in a broken-back position, and he was still the recipient.

This hurt him deeply, leaving him unable to lift his head for a long time, pointed and whispered at everywhere he went; those strange gazes made him want to kill.

Thinking about these, You Yunxiao had a maddening urge to rip Ye Fan apart alive, avenging the humiliation of the past.

The thoughts of other families were similar, some believed, like the Liang Family Saint, that Ye Fan would surely bow his head this time and request pardon from the Zhou Family.

Others shared the Li Family Saint’s view that Ye Fan’s unruliness, confidence in his skills, coupled with Quasi-Emperors backing him meant he would not bow his head.

Regardless of the outcome, they firmly believed this affair would serve as a deterrent to Ye Fan, making him more cautious in the future, less daring in his retaliations against them.

It’s good news, at least for them, it’s beneficial.

Otherwise, once Ye Fan stabilized, he might retaliate against each of them bloodily.

Among the younger generation, Ye Fan wasn’t the first to become a Saint, but his combat power surpassed all contemporaries; not only the young, even older Saint-level strongmen were no match for him!

Now, only Quasi-Emperors could threaten him.

Beneath the Quasi-Emperor, he swept through 3000 worlds without a foe!

...

Northern Domain!

Gu Family!

Within the Secret Realm, a massive Heaven Grade Spirit Stone, two cubic meters in size, floated above the altar, radiating dazzling light, like a blazing sun.

Inside the Heaven Grade Spirit Stone, a tall and sturdy figure was sealed within, his face sharp as if carved by a blade, with wolf eyes, a hooked nose, and lips thin as a knife edge.

"Szzz!"

With a flash in the Gu Family Saint Master’s hand, he sliced open his wrist, letting blood rain upon the altar while chanting ancient scriptures, like Heavenly Sound, resonating through the Secret Realm, harmonizing with the Dao.

"Buzz!"

The altar’s radiance burst forth, blood light soared skyward, gradually enveloping the Heaven Grade Spirit Stone.

"Supreme Ancestor, sorry to disturb you, Elder."

The Gu Family Saint Master had chanted an extensive scripture before sincerely bowing, using his Divine Soul to resonate Heavenly Sound and communicate with the figure within the Spirit Stone.

"What matter hastens me?"

After a while, the figure within the Spirit Stone transmitted a wave of Divine Soul, inquiring of the Gu Family Saint Master.

"No, Supreme Ancestor, it is thus..."

The Gu Family Saint Master dared not lift his head, using his Divine Soul to communicate the plan to the figure within the Spirit Stone, requesting the Supreme Ancestor’s assistance.

He was extremely treacherous, treating the Zhou Family completely as bait to lure Ye Fan.

He had already discerned that, with Ye Fan’s rebellious nature, he would never succumb to threats from anyone—the Zhou Family had no solid evidence, boldly issuing a stern demand for Ye Fan to seek pardon, Ye Fan most likely wouldn’t let it rest and might act against the Zhou Family.

However—

As an Ancient Family capable of contending with a Holy Land, the Zhou Family’s heritage is also very profound, with Quasi-Emperor Level strong people sealed until now.

If Ye Fan takes a strong stance, when the Zhou Family is at the brink of life and death, they will inevitably unseal these powers.

At that time, the Zhou Family’s heritage could kill Ye Fan, and his plan to use a borrowed knife to kill would completely succeed, while also weakening the Zhou Family’s strength.

What he fears most is a Quasi-Emperor Level strong person stepping in to help Ye Fan, resisting the Zhou Family’s heritage, making the situation uncontrollable.

He absolutely cannot allow this to happen, so he offered a blood sacrifice, requesting the assistance of the Great Ancestor at a crucial moment to resist Ye Fan’s Quasi-Emperor side, creating an opportunity for the Zhou Family’s heritage.

In summary, the goal is only one: to kill Ye Fan, stifling him in his growth phase, and not letting him have a chance to rise.

Ye Fan’s growth speed made him feel astounded; in just a decade, he grew to such a level, unparalleled in history.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely prove his Dao in the future, no one can stop his progress!

"This little ant has quite a big life, not only escaping from the hands of the Quasi-Emperor of the Di Family but also surviving chaotic space currents."

When Ye Fan was fighting on the Xing Kong Gu Road, the Gu Family Ancestor had conspired with the Gu Family Saint to scheme against Ye Fan, then secluded himself. Now upon hearing the Gu Family Saint’s words, he was somewhat surprised, and his eyes flickered with killing intent, "Your thinking is correct, this little ant must die, otherwise his future growth will indeed be a threat to my Gu Family!"

"Indeed, he acquired the Immortal Elixir and Emperor Weapon embryo at the Eighteen Cities of the Xing Kong Gu Road, such fortune is unmatched by the younger generation..." The Gu Family Saint let out a sigh of relief and continued.

However—

This time, before he could finish, the Gu Family Ancestor’s pupils slightly enlarged: "Is this true?"

"Absolutely true!" The Gu Family Patriarch nodded solemnly.

"Marvelous!"

The Gu Family Ancestor let out a cold laugh, saying: "Since this is the case, that ant must not only die, but we must also seize this opportunity to acquire the Immortal Elixir and Emperor Weapon embryo, at least one of them!"

"Great Ancestor, what do you mean?" The Gu Family Saint was puzzled.

"As you said, since that ant will probably deal with the Zhou Family, he is likely to be in mortal danger, and the Quasi-Emperors behind him will not stand by idly. At that time, we can use this opportunity to reach an agreement with the Zhou Family—helping the Zhou Family is fine, but the Immortal Elixir and Emperor Weapon embryo, we must at least get one for our Gu Family!"

"Great Ancestor, you are wise!"

On hearing these words, the Gu Family Patriarch suddenly understood and quickly praised.

...

While the other nine major families harbored their own schemes, in the northern part of the Eastern Domain, the battle at the Zhou Family Ancestral Land was even more intense.

The bloodshed and brutality couldn’t sufficiently describe the tragedy of the war; the entire Zhou Family seemed like hell, with people continually falling.

"Kill..." the ground was littered with bones, rivers ran red with blood, the mountains and rivers shattered, both heaven and earth filled with cavalry, flags fluttering, and the sounds of battle shaking the sky.

Thousands of soldiers and horses trampled the Zhou Family; the war had reached its final stage, with everyone courageously charging and finally breaking into the Zhou Family’s Ancestral Land.

The Heavenly Weapon swept across, its fierce killing aura slashing the Nine Heavens Stars, countless Zhou Family disciples were directly cut into blood mud by the Blade Energy.

The Stone Axe soared into the air, shattering each suspended Divine Palace with a legendary Divine weapon, flesh and blood flying, Divine Souls turning to emptiness.

This was a picture of slaughter; this was a feast for the Death God; this was an overture to the Requiem.

"Ah..." a miserable cry echoed, as a strong person at the Lord Realm Peak was split in half by someone, and a figure rushed through the split body.

"Hiss!"

A Supreme Strongman from the Zhou Family made a move, casting a fierce Killing Light, almost world-ending, countless disciples from the Ancient Sacred Land’s bodies were disintegrated, Divine Souls turned to ash.

"Autumn brings death, all things wither!"

Zhou Zhaolong’s father took action.

Zhou Zhaolong perished at the hands of Ye Fan, but before that, he had imparted part of Emperor Sha’s legacy to his father.

At this moment, Zhou Zhaolong’s father acted with hatred, exhibiting terrifying power like never before!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

...

Blades of Killing Sword emerged from the Void, slaughtering dozens of Barbarian warriors.

This secret technique was pioneered by the Eternal Slaughter Emperor, the Four Seasons Killing Technique, resembling the arrival of deep autumn, slaughtering all life.

"Void, devour!"

Sikong Po confronted Zhou Zhaolong’s father, unleashing the family’s Void Divine Skill, directly opening layers upon layers of Void, completely absorbing the Killing Sword into the endless Void.

"Your Sikong Family and that Ye brat attacking my Zhou Family will not have a good ending!"

Zhou Zhaolong’s father’s eyes blazed, on the verge of breaking apart, in a posture of complete desperation, applying the Four Seasons Killing Technique to the extreme.

He himself had already become a Saint, now employing Emperor Sha’s deadly techniques, his power was naturally doubled, like a Killing God.

"Puff!"

Sikong Po, caught off guard, almost got his head cleaved off, with a deep wound left on his neck, blood gushing endlessly.

"I’ll send you on your way, so your son won’t be lonely on the road!"

At this moment...

Ye Fan roared, with a wave of his large hand, the Chaos Dragon Spear in his hand thrust out, transforming into a light beam, instantly piercing through Zhou Zhaolong’s father’s body.

Puff—

In the next moment, Zhou Zhaolong’s father’s body exploded, soul scattered and dispersed!

He, although long since achieving sainthood, still could not withstand a single strike from Ye Fan!
