Chapter 1417: Fame Shakes Demon Territory Mountain

Very soon, Jun Yu directly vanished from this world.

Seeing this, Chen Fei’s eyes flickered slightly. He also returned to the top of the Desolate Demon Lion’s head and left.

The people of the Jun Family had been slaughtered by Ancestor Jun Yu himself, and the top experts of the Dugu Family had also been cut down by him. As for the leftover riffraff, ignoring them didn’t matter at all.

And when everyone witnessed this scene, seeing the Ancient King Level ancestor of the Jun Family, Jun Yu, and Chen Fei leave one after another, the previously silent place finally began to boil over.

“Heavens, just what kind of scene did I witness today?”

“I didn’t expect that Ancestor Jun Yu would actually fear that man to such a degree, personally killing the people of his own Jun Family?”

“There’s no helping it. Just one look and you can tell that person isn’t a Cultivator of our Demon Territory Mountain, and he’s alone. If he really flies into a rage, don’t talk about the Jun Family, even the Dugu Family probably wouldn’t be able to withstand him.”

“Exactly. If an Ancient King Level Expert secretly targets you, in a massive clan, how many people can block his assassinations?!”

“Even though that makes sense, this kind of cruelty and ruthlessness is still a bit hard to accept…”

…

Many people were sighing. The Ten Great Families on Demon Territory Mountain were existences like gods, absolute overlords! Yet now they had ‘fallen’ to such a state, completely slaughtered clean. While people lamented, they couldn’t help being deeply shaken.

This was the deterrent power of an Ancient King Level Expert! Incomparable. As long as you aren’t sure you can kill him, then even a giant like the Jun Family can only pinch their nose and endure it, even raising the blade against their own people…

Very soon, someone personally saw Chen Fei riding the Desolate Demon Lion away from Long Scorpion Island, entering that boundless Demon Sea.

One day later, the entire Demon Territory Mountain quaked, and two names completely spread throughout Demon Territory Mountain.

Chen Fei, Ancestor of the Jun Family, Jun Yu.

The Dugu Family and the Jun Family together had over eight Peak of Mystic Heaven Position experts fall, and all these casualties were caused by those two.

In many people’s eyes, casualties of this level were already no different from losing an Ancient King Level Entity.

What was even more shocking was that this fellow named Chen Fei, suspected to be an Ancient King Level Entity, actually possessed a mount that was suspected to be a King of Desolate Beasts.

This news directly shook all of Demon Territory Mountain!

All along, the legends of Kings of Desolate Beasts had left a deep impression on everyone, endlessly coveted. Yet to this day, only the undisputed number one of the Ten Great Families, the Feng Family, had the ability to truly achieve this. But now, another new opportunity had appeared…

And accompanying this news, a terrifying bounty order directly spread throughout Demon Territory Mountain.

“An outsider, suspected to be an Ancient King Level Entity, Chen Fei—bounty: three million Top Grade Spirit Stones, or one Supreme Spiritual Weapon. Life or death, no restrictions…”

And the signature on this bounty order was impressively from the Dugu Family.

Clearly, just as Dugu Qing had worried and predicted before, once they learned of this, they had absolutely no intention of letting it go.

As for the content of the bounty order—’a mere’ three million Top Grade Spirit Stones, or one Supreme Spiritual Weapon, to buy the life of an Ancient King Level Entity—this was undoubtedly wishful thinking.

But those with sharp eyes all understood this was obviously the Dugu Family putting on a show to save face.

Chen Fei, the Dugu Family definitely wouldn’t let him off, yet they also weren’t willing to borrow someone else’s hand. Because their target wasn’t only killing Chen Fei; they also very, very much wanted that King of Desolate Beasts!

On one of the Demon Territory Mountain Islands, deep inside the Mansion of the Head of Dugu Family, within a vast residence.

“So he’s the one who killed Jing Yun and Tian Ming?” A burly man with a height of over two meters and a long beard held the bounty order coldly, staring at the portrait of Chen Fei on it as he spoke in an icy tone. He lifted a jug of wine and gulped it down.

“Master, do you need me to go avenge them? Jing Yun and Tian Ming are both my junior brothers. This grudge, I cannot leave unavenged.”

Beside him, a gaunt elder with a gloomy face spoke through gritted teeth, a vicious look surfacing on his face.

He and Dugu Jingyun as well as Dugu Tianming were not only brothers, they were also under the same master. Now that those two had been killed, of course he wanted revenge.

But hearing this, the long‑bearded burly elder paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, “You may have just broken through to the Ancient King of Supreme Heavenly Position, but wanting to kill that man… there should be no chance. Others might not know, but I’m very clear that old thing Jun Yu is absolutely a sly old fox. Even he fears that man this much—that alone proves that man’s strength is not weak and cannot be underestimated.”

“Master, then how should we handle this matter?” Hearing this, the gloomy‑faced elder spoke somewhat agitatedly.

“Don’t worry. Anyone who dares touch my disciples under Dugu Hong, no matter who it is, I’ll make him pay the price. Besides, does he think he alone can keep that King of Desolate Beasts? Hehe…”

With a sneer, the long‑bearded burly man’s eyes flashed with a shrewd cold light as he laughed icily, “We’ll just sit here on Demon Territory Mountain Island and quietly watch how things develop. Anyway, sooner or later, we’ll meet him.”

Likewise, on one of the Demon Territory Mountain Islands, inside a palace floating in the firmament.

One of the Ten Great Families, the most notorious Dong Family.

“Pa!”

Inside the vast palace, a bald middle-aged man with his chest bare and a thick mat of hair on it slammed the Dugu Family’s bounty order hard onto the table, then stepped on it with one foot, laughing madly as he spoke.

“All of you see this? What is this, a King of Desolate Beasts—this shit is really some damn good news!”

“Fifth Elder, with this King of Desolate Beasts our Dong Family is going to soar! We have to get it into our hands.” The others also shouted excitedly. Their Dong Family ranked fourth among the Ten Great Families, but if they could get this King of Desolate Beasts, then they would definitely be able to compete even for third, even second!

Such a huge temptation—no one could resist.

“No crap! Of course we are. But with you bunch of trash, there’s no way you can do anything to that guy…” The bald middle-aged man swept his wicked gaze around the hall, then let it land on someone in the corner of the main hall. He sneered and said, “Old Sixth, how about the two of us brothers go together? With the two of us joining hands, killing an ordinary Ancient King Level Cultivator is more than enough.”

In the palace, that figure slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of unfathomably sinister eyes. He let out a cold smile, and a chilling voice followed.

“Fine.”

At the same time, on a Demon Territory Mountain Island, within the continuous palace complex of the Feng Family, ranked first among the Ten Great Families.

Immortal Qi coiled, white cranes flew, the fragrance of Lingzhi drifted… inside an inconspicuous courtyard.

“Grandfather, this is the latest news that just came in. It seems a powerful Ancient King Level Cultivator has come to our Demon Territory Mountain.”

A young man with sword-like eyes and starry brows walked in and said excitedly. In his hand he held the Dugu Family’s bounty order.

“Oh?” A kindly faced old man walked out from within the courtyard, casually took the bounty order and the documents, glanced through them, then frowned slightly and muttered, “King of Desolate Beasts?”

“That’s right! It’s a King of Desolate Beasts!” The sword-eyed, star-browed young man stared at the kindly old man and asked softly, “Grandfather, should our Feng Family get involved in this? If the other families obtain this King of Desolate Beasts…”

“Forget it.” The kindly old man shook his head and said, “Our Feng Family already has one King of Desolate Beasts. Having another is actually just piling up numbers for show. Besides, right now our focus should be entirely on the Ruins of the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants over there. How are things over there now?”

“Between Celestial Star Island and Grand Eagle Island, our people have already found information about the Ruins of the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants, but the exact location is still being confirmed.”

The sword-eyed, star-browed man replied quickly.

“And the other forces? How are they reacting?” the kindly old man asked blandly.

“The Ten Great Families have basically already started moving. This matter is too big; there’s no way to hide it at all.” The sword-eyed, star-browed man said regretfully.

“That’s only natural. The Ten Great Families all have spies in each other’s ranks. News like this could never be kept secret.”

The kindly old man smiled, unsurprised, then his gaze sharpened as he said, “But since it’s already come to this, an old fellow like me should also get moving and go take a look. The Ruins of the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants—this is what truly matters, and we can’t afford any mistakes.”

Two thousand years ago, Demon Territory Mountain actually didn’t bear this name; it was called the Domain of the Four Elephants, because the power that ruled this place back then was the Heavenly Palace of the Four Elephants. Its strongest figure was this Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants, a dignified existence of the Supreme Saint Realm.

But later, this renowned Saint Realm giant returned from somewhere with incurable injuries all over his body, and fell within the Heavenly Palace of the Four Elephants. That ignited the greed of countless forces, who rose up together and attacked, destroying the Heavenly Palace of the Four Elephants. After that, many Demon Clan forces in Demon Territory Mountain seized the chaos to rise, taking the territory of Demon Territory Mountain into their own hands.

As for the whereabouts of the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants at the time, they vanished. However, later, news emerged that when the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants was on the verge of death, he carved all his life’s blood and effort into an Underground Palace. Whoever obtained it would be able to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants.

And now, after more than two thousand years, the Underground Palace of the Ruins of the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants has finally reappeared in the sight of the world.

How could news like this not be shocking?!

At the same time, in the boundless Demon Sea, a purple-gold-robed figure covered in wounds knelt in front of Chen Fei, face pale as he begged for mercy, “Spare my life and I’ll tell you a heaven-shaking secret.”

“What secret?” Chen Fei was likewise drenched in blood, yet he gave off the feeling of Sword Qi soaring to the heavens, incomparably domineering. At those words, he frowned slightly and asked faintly.

“From here, head seven thousand li to the west, and the Underground Palace of the Ruins of the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants is hidden in that region. Whoever gains the Underground Palace will obtain the lifetime blood and effort, and inheritance, of that Saint Realm powerhouse from more than two thousand years ago, the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants.” The purple-gold-robed figure hurriedly said.

“Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants? Saint Realm powerhouse’s inheritance?” Chen Fei was slightly stunned.

This kind of secret did indeed sound big enough.

“Get lost.” Chen Fei turned around and left, saying faintly.

The next second, his figure appeared atop the head of the Desolate Demon Lion. The Desolate Demon Lion let out a roar, fierce winds howled as it shot into the sky, and the direction it headed in was precisely the west!
