Chapter 503: How Do We Even Continue?!

Both Heavenly King Zhen Manor and the Void Immortal Sword Sect were highly renowned entities in the cultivation world. To ordinary cultivators, they were legends.

Just a single sword cultivator was already terrifying, and it was rumored that the Void Immortal Sword Sect had a hundred thousand of them. If they were to mobilize them fully, half of the cultivation world would tremble.

As for Heavenly King Zhen’s Manor, not only did it wield immense power in the cultivation world, but it also boasted experts ranked in the Emperor Ranking who have transcended Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations. Those experts stood at the threshold of the Ascension Realm.

Not to mention that there were countless empires serving under the Heavenly King Zhen's Manor, ranging from second-tier to third-tier empires. There were too many to count.

In terms of the number of formidable subordinates, the Heavenly King Zhen's Manor likely surpassed the Void Immortal Sword Sect by far.

No one truly knew how many forces were under the control of Heavenly King Zhen, as there were high-level experts supporting him covertly, making it difficult to gauge their true strength!

"Could that woman be Demoness Yu? The one various Central Continent Empire's Golden Core Realm cultivators had been relentlessly hunting in recent years?"

"That's her, no doubt about it. She hails from the Void Immortal Sword Sect and is their discarded disciple. No wonder even the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Dragon Soaring Pavilion fear her a lot."

"I heard that her feud with Heavenly King Zhen's Manor is quite unique, which also led to an agreement between the Void Immortal Sword Sect and the Manor. Only cultivators of the same level are allowed to pursue the Demoness Yu. If this rule is broken, the Void Immortal Sword Sect will intervene."

"The Void Immortal Sword Sect may have also promised not to meddle in this matter. But who is this person besides the Demoness Yu? If it's a sword cultivator from the Void Immortal Sword Sect, then what's the point of rules? The Heavenly King Zhen's Manor will surely retaliate."

Whispers filled the air, and Feng Chen furrowed his brows slightly.

What should he do in this type of situation? Even such distant cultivators have heard of this matter. This illustrated the immense influence of the Heavenly King Zhen.

After the cultivator from Dragon Soaring Pavilion expressed his stance, he stood silently in the void, his eyes sizing up Fang Chen and Fairy Yu. There was a sliver of curiosity in his eyes. Although these two were far below his level of cultivation, he knew in his heart that their backgrounds were unattainable to him. Even if the Pavilion Master were here, he wouldn't dare to intervene in this matter.

Perhaps drawn by the bloody aura, seven or eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators arrived. However, like the one from the Dragon Soaring Pavilion, they showed no intention of interfering and were all scrutinizing Fang Chen and Fairy Yu.

On the other hand, they paid no attention to Bai Xiujie and the others. It's been over ten years since that incident occurred, and anyone with a bit of background in the cultivation world would avoid getting swept into this mess.

If anyone was stupid enough to take part, it was those reckless individuals and the direct descendants of Heavenly King Zhen's Manor. They were the ones who would relentlessly pursue the opportunity to curry favor with the Heavenly King.

Bai Xiujie and the others' faces turned grim. It was clear that Fang Chen didn't take them seriously. Now, with so many cultivators watching, not taking action would likely cause them to lose face in the Central Continent Empire.

Perhaps there was an unspoken understanding, or maybe they had rehearsed this beforehand, but Bai Xiujie and the others almost simultaneously made their move. They unleashed their treasures and techniques, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to surge wildly.

A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator immediately set up a formation to protect the nearby buildings. If they didn't act, the aftermath of these attacks would destroy the area.

"Lord, we'll each take one," Fairy Yu said with a smile before turning around and slashing with her sword.

Fang Chen was much faster than her. His terrifying sword technique destroyed all kinds of methods employed by the Golden Core Realm cultivators. Whether it was treasures or techniques, they were as fragile as tofu before his sword.

The Golden Core Realm cultivator beside Bai Xiujie suddenly trembled as if struck by lightning. A line of blood appeared on his forehead and quickly spread down to his lower body. The line of blood began to glow, gradually consuming his flesh. In just a few breaths, that Golden Core Realm cultivator was completely annihilated.

Fairy Yu sighed softly. “Lord, it seems like my sword strike wasn't quite enough...."

Not far away, Bai Xiujie was hacking out blood. Even though he had blocked Fairy Yu’s sword strike, he had been left in bad shape, having suffered internal injuries.

As Bai Xiujie watched Fang Chen kill another Golden Core Realm cultivator effortlessly, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"The sword technique of the man next to Demoness Yu was even stronger than hers?!" he muttered in shock.

The information they received was completely different; it clearly stated that the demoness was the main force, and the man was just assisting!

Bai Xiujie didn't dare to make another move, and the other Golden Core cultivators became even more hesitant as they stood rooted to the ground. Two Golden Core Realm cultivators had just been instantly killed...!

How could they continue the fight like this!?

The onlookers had expected an exciting battle, but they were surprised when the Golden Core Realm cultivators' attack fizzled out as soon as it started.

"Come again." Fairy Yu chuckled lightly. "Since one sword strike didn't finish you off, then let's try another one."

Fang Chen stopped Fairy Yu and walked toward Bai Xiujie. "Don't waste your lifespan. Let me beat him until he’s half dead, and then you can kill him."

Struck with panic, Bai Xiujie suddenly turned toward the group of Nascent Soul realm cultivators. "Esteemed seniors, I am a disciple of the Profound Seeking Sect in the Central Continent Empire. I implore you to save my life. The Profound Seeking Sect will be extremely grateful to you!"
