A mountain range in the eastern continent:
Rumble!
With a deafening rumble, a thousand-foot-tall mountain exploded. Someone darted out of the explosion and rose into the sky, standing proudly in the air.
The man was skinny and had a dark gaze with a vicious light flickering in his eyes. Faint traces of the aura of law flickered around him.
Chen Fan would have recognized the man instantly, as he was none other than Zhu Tianzong.
While passing by the Dead Region during his Myriad Demons Islands trip, he had snatched the Herbaceous Water Spirit from the hands of a group of Dead Region experts. Consequently, they had pursued him.
Zhu Tianzong was among them, with the highest cultivation and greatest strength. He had proved himself to be Chen Fan’s most persistent pursuer.
Had the True Martial City’s city lord not stepped in back then, perhaps Chen Fan would have died at Zhu Tianzong’s hands.
Thankfully, the city lord had sent Zhu Tianzong flying.
Unexpectedly, that only wounded him grievously. Even after spending years recuperating, he had only recovered partially. However, the disaster had become a blessing, allowing him to glimpse the power of law.
Though he had yet to fully master it, merely sensing the laws had propelled his strength to the peak of the Lesser Peak Manifestation realm.
He had made full use of the force of the city lord’s palm strike to touch upon the laws. Admittedly, Zhu Tianzong possessed extraordinary talent.
“Hahahaha, I, Zhu Tianzong, have come back to life. Chen Fan, I should thank you. Because of you, I turned disaster into fortune. Though struck by a Legend, I perceived the laws in the process. To show my gratitude, I’ll prepare a little surprise for you!”
A vicious light flickered in his eyes as he rushed toward the Hong Domain.
......
That day, atop Peerless Peak’s rear mountains, Chen Fan meditated, surrounded by intense ripples of law.
Suddenly, two sharp rays of light shot out from his eyes, tearing the tumbling sea of clouds. He shot up to his feet, and a terrifying aura swept out.
“Something’s happened!” His gaze turned ice-cold.
Moments earlier, his connection to the true primeval incarnation he had left by his parents’ side was severed, and he lost contact.
Someone had destroyed the true primeval incarnation.
He realized at once that something had happened to his parents.
Immediately, Chen Fan took to the skies. His powerful divine will swept across the Peerless Peak, leaving a word behind before he vanished like a bolt of lightning.
“What’s going on? Little Junior Brother’s divine will carried overwhelming killing intent!”
Jian Qi and the others appeared one after another, staring in the direction he had disappeared, their eyes filled with confusion.
The divine will he had left behind was like a volcano on the verge of eruption.
They knew at once that something big must have happened.
Chen Fan felt extremely anxious, believing that something had happened to his parents, so he raised his speed to the limit.
An hour later, he descended upon the Great Chen Imperial Palace. His powerful aura immediately alarmed the people inside the imperial palace.
Immediately, Nangong Baxiong, Chen Tianxiong, and the others flew over.
“Who is it?”
“Xiaofan! You’re back!”
Nangong Baxiong, Chen Tianxiong, and the others’ faces immediately beamed with joy when they saw him.
Chen Fan’s divine will had long since swept through the imperial palace. His parents and Chen Wushang were nowhere to be found. His worst fears were confirmed.
“Grandfather, Uncle, what happened? Where is Father, Mother, and Wushang?” asked Chen Fan immediately.
Nangong Baxiong, Chen Tianxiong, and the others’ expressions became ugly. Nangong Baxiong answered, “Not long ago, someone stormed the palace and attacked Zhengqing and them without a word. Your true primeval incarnation couldn’t withstand a single move from them and was smashed. We were powerless to stop him. He took Zhengqing, Xiaoyue, and Wushang.
An incomparably terrifying aura immediately erupted from Chen Fan, sending waves of suffocating pressure through the palace. Fear and dread gripped everyone present.
“Don’t be anxious, Xiaofan. Seeing the danger, Zhengqing and Xiaoyue hid in the city treasure with Wushang. That person couldn’t break through the city treasure, so he took them along with the treasure. He spared us only to deliver a message—if you want to save them, go to the Yandang Mountains.”
Chen Fan let out a slight breath of relief and retracted his terrifying aura.
Although that city treasure was only a Grade-7 exceptional quality treasure, its defensive power was shocking. Unless a Legendary realm expert took action, even a peak Manifestation realm expert would need some time to break it open.
However, the time varied from person to person.
“Uncle, did he leave a name? Do you know what he looks like?” Chen Fan asked.
The true primeval incarnation he left behind was killed in a second. From that, it could be seen that this person’s cultivation was in the high-level Manifestation realm.
Could it be that Nie Han still hadn’t given up and thus captured his parents and Wushang to use them to threaten him?
“He didn’t say, but he looks like this!” said Nangong Baxiong as he used his true primeval to draw a face in the air.
“Zhu Tianzong!”
When Chen Fan got a clear look at this face, his aura immediately erupted, forming a terrifying hurricane. The winds and clouds changed colors, terrifying the people in the imperial city. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Chen Fan didn’t expect the kidnapper to be Zhu Tianzong. He had thought it would be someone from the Scarlet Moon Hall.
Even so, that was the most consoling part of a misfortune.
Had it really been someone from the Scarlet Moon Hall, it would have been troublesome.
But if it was Zhu Tianzong...
“Damn it, Zhu Tianzong, you deserve to die! The city lord didn’t kill you back then, allowing you to keep your worthless life, but you didn’t know how to cherish it. Now you even dared to touch my loved ones. You deserve to die. You deserve a thousand deaths! This time, no one can save you!”
Overwhelming anger came from Chen Fan.
His loved ones were his reverse scale. Whoever dared to touch them would be courting death.
“Xiaofan, you know him?”
Chen Fan nodded and said, “I do. I have a feud with him. Grandfather, Uncle, rest assured. I’ll bring Father, Mother, and Wushang back safe and sound. I’ll get going first!”
Before his voice fell, Chen Fan shot forth toward the Yandang Mountains like lightning.
