Chapter 433: Chapter 211: Deviant Flame Acquired, Fame Spreads in the Dark World

In the direction of Jiuxiao Mountain.

The dark, oppressive mountain range resembled five fingers reaching for the sky.

Below the mountain.

A dark, gloomy cave exuded a cold, sinister aura.

The Nine Heavens Elder crushed the teacup in his hand. A cold light erupted from his sinister eyes as he stared directly at the middle-aged man before him. The man’s expression faltered, but he quickly composed himself.

"What did you say? My disciple is dead?"

The Nine Heavens Elder’s voice was ice-cold.

Not only dead!

His body wasn’t even left intact!

Not even a corpse remained!!

His disciple, Yue Zhen, had been invited over by the Wuuu family. And now the Wuuu family was delivering this kind of news to him?

"Nine Heavens Elder, please don’t be angry. Calm down."

His mouth dry, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained, "This was all done by that Chen Xuan. It’s not like you haven’t heard of Chen Xuan’s power. He single-handedly killed several hundred Outer Saints and even hunted down three Dharma Realm masters. The man is a monster! Besides, he’s teamed up with Feng Wuji now. Even if we wanted to retaliate, it would be incredibly difficult..."

"Chen Xuan? Yama Chen?"

The Nine Heavens Elder’s face darkened. As expected, he calmed down quickly upon hearing that name and asked in a low voice, "Why would he come here?"

"He was likely invited by Feng Wuji."

The middle-aged man continued, "Feng Wuji is a guardian of the mortal realm, and that Yama Chen is also from the mortal realm..."

"So what do you intend to do? Is my disciple supposed to have died for nothing?"

the Nine Heavens Elder said grimly.

"The Patriarch sent me to deliver this message, which is... actually to discourage you from seeking revenge, lest you throw your life away for nothing. Nine Heavens Elder, the Wuuu family has wronged you this time. If you require any compensation, we will do our best to accommodate you. As for revenge, perhaps... it’s best to just forget about it?"

the middle-aged man, Wuu Biao, said.

Although the Jiang family and the Lu family were both demanding revenge.

They were all secretly contacting various powers, preparing to make a move...

But the Wuuu family alone thought differently.

’Is Chen Xuan really that easy to kill?’

They had thoroughly investigated all of Chen Xuan’s past deeds.

Chen Xuan had been cultivating for less than a year, and everyone who had made an enemy of him was eventually obliterated by his heaven-defying growth in power, not even a trace left behind.

’If he were that easy to kill, he wouldn’t have survived long enough for them to get a chance...’

The fact that Chen Xuan was still alive and kicking was undeniable proof that he was terrifyingly powerful and someone who absolutely could not be provoked.

That was why the Wuuu family had decided not to get involved in this mess.

"You’re going to let it go?"

The Nine Heavens Elder’s expression changed.

"Yes. If you’re unwilling to let it go, that’s fine too. You can go find the Jiang family and the Lu family. They should be secretly gathering people to ambush and kill Chen Xuan."

Wuu Biao replied, "Whether you succeed or fail, the Wuuu family will not get involved. But if you fail, do not sell us out. This has nothing to do with the Wuuu family!"

The Nine Heavens Elder took a deep breath, his mind racing. Suddenly, the sinister look on his face vanished, replaced by a smile. "Younger Brother Wuu," he said, "then how do you plan to compensate me? My disciple accompanied me for many years. We were very close; he was dear to my heart..."

"You’re not seeking revenge anymore?"

Wuu Biao was puzzled.

"Life and death are ordained by fate; wealth and honor are decreed by heaven. What more can I say?"

The Nine Heavens Elder sighed softly.

He was, after all, an old and cunning fox.

’Even the Wuuu family is unwilling to seek revenge. If I still insisted on it, how would that be any different from seeking death?’

’If a disciple is gone, I can just find a new one.’

’The last thing I need is to get on Yama Chen’s radar. Especially since that Yama Chen is known to be vengeful over the smallest slight and can even sense the fluctuations of hatred from others.’

’If you harbor any hatred for him, he’ll track you down from a thousand miles away...’

’I, the Nine Heavens Elder, haven’t lived long enough. I have a big family to support; it’s not like I only had that one disciple.’

’So it’s better to just forget it and get some benefits instead.’

"..."

Wuu Biao was momentarily speechless.

"Fine. Name your price for compensation."

...

「Meanwhile, elsewhere.」

Much the same scene was playing out.

On the surface, it seemed that the major families, having suffered such heavy casualties, would stop at nothing to hire people to assassinate Chen Xuan and the City Lord.

However, after the Jiang family elders contacted them one by one, almost no one was actually willing to make a move.

Even the Lu family, who had originally been on their side, went completely silent after returning home.

The Jiang family sent people to press them several times but were never able to see their Patriarch again.

When they tried contacting him with a communication Jade Pendant, no one ever answered.

This infuriated the Jiang family Patriarch, Jiang Yunfeng, so much that he smashed the entire communication Jade Pendant to pieces.

Left with no other choice, he had to personally fly toward Qin family Village to inform them.

But this, of course, caused a delay.

As a result, Chen Xuan and his group had already left the City Lord’s Mansion, traveling an unknown number of miles.

"Weren’t there supposed to be assassins? Why is it so quiet?"

Chen Xuan looked puzzled. The entire journey was unspeakably peaceful.

The strange situation greatly surprised even Chu Shanhe and Feng Wuji.

This was completely different from what they had expected.

They thought the major powers would stop at nothing, bringing in taboo-level entities and experts to ambush them.

But what was the result?

Not a damn thing!

Forget about experts and taboo-level entities.

They hadn’t even encountered a single fluctuation of Divine Thought.

"Well, it looks like our luck is pretty good."

Chu Shanhe chuckled.

"This just goes to show we have Young Friend Chen’s good fortune to thank. Perhaps those people were too wary of Young Friend Chen, which is why nothing ever came of it."

Feng Wuji said with a smile.

"City Lord Feng, you really shouldn’t say that, hahaha."

Chen Xuan burst out laughing.

"Young Friend Chen, do you have other business to attend to out here? If not, how about... you come and help me out? Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to make the compensation worth your while."
