Chapter 354 Darius

The middle-aged man standing at the front of the group had an imposing presence, but his confidence vanished when Xuefeng appeared before him.

"This bracelet... You are Liu Xuefeng!" the man announced, his sturdy build tensing up.

"To think people can recognize me so quickly," Xuefeng chuckled as he pulled his sleeves to reveal the five shiny stones embedded into his bracelet. "You guys had the chance to kill me when I was weaker. Now it's too late for you."

As soon as Xuefeng confirmed his identity, all the cultivators in the area paled. They seemed to be debating whether they should run or not, but no one wanted to be the first to pull the trigger.

'Be careful about this man,' Ling warned beforehand. 'Not only is he a Fate Holder, but his aura rivals that of Emi. He must have completed his second refining so we can't predict how powerful he is. The woman by his side is also strong.'

Tianshi only confirmed Ling's worries as she pinpointed the two most dangerous individuals. 'I wasn't able to see the future around this man and the blue-haired woman behind him. They must have run away without a fight or they possess an Artifact that blocks my ability. Either way, we shouldn't provoke them.'

'I can sense the Sword Intent from the girl,' Yi reported with interest. 'I will handle her if we were to fight them.'

'It has been a while since we encountered any Fate Holders, so we can play with the two of them, but don't touch any other cultivators with the blessing. We don't want to offend any Constellations just yet,' Xuefeng suggested as stared down his opponent.

The leading man took it as a challenge and frowned, "I wasn't involved in the Heaven Realm's hunt in any way, so if you hold grudges against the cultivators of the God Realm, I'm not one of them. You are also not the target of our ambush, so let's separate peacefully. I'm not interested in your Elemental Bracelet like everyone else."

"Ah, it's not good to lie. We already know you were stationed here for weeks as you waited for us. We also know about your reinforcements," Xuefeng exposed as he gave a signal. Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

His group momentarily teleported behind their opponents and surrounded them from all sides. If they wanted to run away before, it wasn't an available option anymore.

"Are you going to tell the truth, or should we beat you up first?" Xuefeng asked with a confident smile.

"So, can you let us go now?" Darius asked impatiently. "I have no intentions of fighting you."

"Didn't you say you will lead me to the people responsible? Who are those Fate Gods and where can I find them?" Xuefeng asked curiously.

"Their gathering place is called the Godly Arena and it's located in the capital, about three days West from here. You can get there sooner if you are using Teleportation Stations located near the Elemental Temples," Darius explained, causing Xuefeng to smile.

'So it was indeed his plan all along. Letting me fight all those Fate Gods only to appear at the last moment to deliver the final blow,' Xuefeng thought while looking at the rest of the cultivators. 'Maybe we were reaching too far thinking he wanted to involve the Constellations.'

'Does that mean we can go all out against them?' Wuying asked as she cracked her knuckles.

'Well, I'm still yet to decide what kind of Gate I would offer as a Constellation, so it doesn't hurt to do some research,' Xuefeng suggested, his lips curving into an evil smirk. 'Let's see what kind of powers besides the limitless lifeforce they can get.'

His words prompted a chain reaction, with all his wives activating their Dragon Bloodline. Darius watched as everyone was covered in shiny scales and frowned as the air around them exploded with an overwhelming aura.

"I already told you everything I know. Do you really want to push this into a brawl?" Darius asked, his own bloodline turning his skin blue. "I'm sure you have sensed that I'm a Fate Holder as well. I might not be able to kill you, but I will take a few of your women with me."

The rest of the cultivators paled, activating all of their defenses in preparation for a battle. "We told you it's pointless to reason with them! You helped him and he is still going to kill us! We have to fight back together!"

"Well, I never said I'm going to let you go," Xuefeng replied in a friendly tone. "I'm going to be honorable though and offer you a deal. Let your girl fight my wife one on one. If she can survive for five minutes, I will spare you."

The blue-haired girl didn't even let Darius speak as she agreed on his behalf, "Fine by me. Choose anyone besides that elf and I will cut them to pieces."

"Your opponent has already been decided," Xuefeng informed as his Water Stone lit up.

The river underneath them seemed to stop and the water floated in the air, circling around them to create a massive Ice Dome to trap everyone inside. The temperature dropped significantly and the whole area was covered in a thick layer of snow.

"Yi, she is all yours."
