Chapter 451 Finding Fault with the Feng Family 1
Those powerful Nirvana cultivators who recognized him all frowned deeply.
A level nine warship suddenly arrived in the Southern Lan Domain, and the number of Nirvana Realm cultivators it carried was almost equal to the total number of Nirvana Realm cultivators in all their forces combined!
Their aggressive demeanor clearly indicates ill intent!
Who exactly in the Southern Realm caused this trouble?
Many Nirvana cultivators appeared one after another. Although they did not gather together, they all followed the direction of the warship, preparing to disperse to any possible hidden place in all directions to observe the moment the warship stopped.
They were filled with suspicion and apprehension towards the warship.
Even among forces without Nirvana, a few of the highest-level cultivators would emerge and seek out a Nirvana cultivator they could still talk to to follow closely—even though they knew there might be dangers ahead, they were willing to take the risk for the sake of their respective forces, or for their relatives and friends.
·
Countless shadows swept past from different directions, all following the warship.
But those reborn on the warship's deck didn't mind.
Some cultivators who got close enough to observe for a while were then looked at coldly by the Nirvana cultivator they were observing—the sudden, dangerous aura that rushed towards them made them tremble with fear.
These reborn beings are also incredibly powerful!
Even so, those who are meant to follow will still follow.
The wind howled, as if the air itself was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
In the Southern Realm, no cultivator who is still free can live in peace.
·
The Lü family.
Faced with such immense pressure, a Nirvana cultivator quickly activated the clan's protective array, enveloping the entire clan and protecting its members.
Therefore, many of the tribesmen were finally able to catch their breath.
Their expressions as they looked up at the sky were almost horrified.
Lu Zheng and Lu Ping were meditating when they sensed something was wrong, so they went out of the room with the other members of their clan who had also reached the Spirit Transformation stage.
Although they dared not take to the air under such pressure, they could find a wide-open space to observe the situation.
The brother and sister squinted.
Lu Zheng lowered his voice and said, "That direction seems to be the Feng family's."
Lü Ping also spoke in a low voice: "If it's really about going to cause trouble for the Feng family, then that would be perfect."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Although they spoke in a polite, low voice, everyone present was sharp-eared and could not possibly miss the noise.
Another member of the Lü family, now a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, looked over and also expressed his full agreement.
Even those who heard it all shared similar ideas.
—Yes, the Feng family shouldn't have been so glamorous a long time ago!
Suddenly, an elder of the Lü family exclaimed in a low voice.
Lu Zheng, Lu Ping, and many other members of the Lu family looked over and were astonished to find that the Sixth Elder had actually torn off his beard.
Even though they were all staring at the Sixth Elder, he seemed oblivious to their intense gazes, instead showing a shocked expression.
"Battle Emperor..."
The Sixth Elder's voice was also not loud.
Similarly, it was impossible for the many cultivators present to miss hearing this.
The cultivators from the Lü family couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
At that moment, some people simply asked the question directly.
"Sixth Elder, what are you talking about, Battle Emperor?"
Lu Zheng and Lu Ping were also very curious and looked at the Sixth Elder, waiting for his answer.
The Sixth Elder suddenly came to his senses and, without hiding anything, said, "The strong young man in silver armor and a black cloak at the bow of the ship is at the peak of the Nirvana Realm. He is Lou Chuan, a top expert ranked twenty-second on the eighth-level martial arts ranking. What's even more terrifying is that he is only a little over a thousand years old."
It's already quite remarkable for such a young cultivator to reach the Nirvana Realm, let alone not only at the peak level, but also with combat power so strong that he can rank so high on the Sky Ranking!
You should know that there are quite a few Dou Huangs who dominate the eighth-level ranking!
·
The so-called "Dominating Douhuang" refers to a Douhuang who, after reaching the eighth level of the Martial Douhuang Ranking, fails to reach the Tongtian Realm within 650 years.
Therefore, they will not break through their cultivation level until the end of their lifespan—not even a minor breakthrough.
But they are still Battle Emperors. Unless their combat power is surpassed by newcomers, they are forcibly pushed down, or they are killed, they will continue to be on the list.
The strength of Dou Huang is extremely powerful. Some Dou Huang even exceed the time limit when they are at the peak of Nirvana. Therefore, the Dou Huang on the list are at most at the same level as them.
Furthermore, even without breaking through to a higher realm, one can learn and comprehend more secret techniques, thus increasing combat power...
Therefore, the majority of those on the Level 8 Sky Ranking are actually top-ranked Dou Huangs.
Even getting onto this list is incredibly difficult, let alone ranking twenty-second!
Before this ranking, there might not be many others like him who "haven't reached their term."
It's easy to see how valuable Louchuan's ranking is!
·
The Sixth Elder respected Lou Chuan very much, so after taking a few more glances at the warship, he recognized the man.
Other members of the Lü family also understood this principle, and many of them were dumbfounded.
The Sixth Elder said in a deep voice, "Since it was led by Lou Douhuang, the cultivators on this warship are probably all the branch hall masters of the War God Hall."
The members of the Lü family couldn't help but gasp.
Temple of War!
Although the Nanlan Domain and the Xihe Domain are not adjacent, they are not too far apart. Therefore, cultivators from these eighth-level families, even those with lower cultivation levels, have at least heard of them.
Once one's cultivation level reaches the Fusion stage, one can view the Sky Ranking and gain a greater understanding of the talented cultivators listed.
In the past, the War God Temple did not have many cultivators on the list, but in recent decades, the War God Temple and the Spirit Immortal Sect have been making a great splash. As a result, more and more cultivators want to know about the War God Temple itself and are looking for information to check. Even if they can't see the images of the War God Temple disciples on different levels of the Sky Ranking, they still want to find out their names.
Therefore, upon hearing the words "War God Temple," the members of the Lü family immediately recalled a great deal of related information, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
They all knew that the disciples of the War God Temple were famous for their combat prowess. Among cultivators of the same level, they could suppress the vast majority of cultivators. Even those who failed to make it onto the Sky Ranking had outstanding combat strategies and could become stronger as the battle progressed, surpassing the vast majority of cultivators of the same level.
·
Similar to the Lü family, the other level-eight forces in the Southern Lan Domain also recognized Lou Chuan.
For example, the He family, which the Lü siblings described as only slightly inferior to the Lü family...
Another example is the Qinghai Gate, which is similar to the He family...
etc.
Naturally, they all knew that the Temple of War had arrived.
It's another shock, just like the one experienced by the Lü family.
·
Many forces watched helplessly as the warship continued to move forward, eventually hovering in front of the Feng family mansion.
Dozens of Nirvana Realm cultivators unleashed their power, directly suppressing the Feng family's protective formation. Even though their power alone couldn't destroy the formation, it still caused it to creak and groan.
At the same time, the great formation was unable to block all the pressure from the outside.
Previously, the pressure released unintentionally could affect members of nearby forces of all sizes. Now, if the pressure is concentrated and directed at the Feng family... the result is predictable.
The oppressive force penetrated the formation and instantly rendered many of the Feng family members unable to move.
Their joints occasionally made faint cracking sounds, and sometimes seemed frozen, as if even the blood had stopped flowing—
The overwhelming fear rendered the vast majority of the Feng family members completely unable to utter a sound.
Even more terrifying was that this time, no mercy was shown to the lower-level Feng family cultivators—they couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
In an instant, countless members of the Feng family turned pale as paper and suffered serious injuries.
However, most of the Feng family cultivators simply couldn't understand why anyone would target them.
Aren't they afraid of the one behind them who has achieved unparalleled power?
I can't understand it. I can't comprehend it.
In the end, they could only wait for the elders to give them an explanation.
·
Several "whoosh" sounds were heard, and the Feng family head and the Nirvana cultivators appeared one after another.
They hovered within the clan's protective formation, almost level with the ninth-level warship, their eyes filled with anger, but they tried their best to remain calm and not show any unusual expression.
These Nirvana Elders could certainly recognize that these were people from the Temple of War!
But they couldn't understand why the Temple of War was still coming to them when they should have settled things.
If they had come privately, that would have been fine, but they actually came together!
There are so many temple masters!
What are they trying to do?
Is it just because of that incident—even disregarding the fact that they already had an elder who was buried with a mere junior in the Fusion Realm?
The Temple of War is so unreasonable and unforgiving! How dare they do this!
Could it be that they're relying on their superior numbers to overthrow the Feng family?!
The Feng family has undergone numerous rebirths, their thoughts shifting like lightning.
However, they still couldn't be sure of the true intentions of the Temple of War, so they could only maintain this polite posture and wait for the Temple of War's reaction.
·
The members of the Temple of War showed no sign of delaying.
Lou Chuan spoke directly: "Since the Feng family refuses to give an explanation to the chosen one of the War God Temple, then we, as elders, have no choice but to reluctantly make the trip to ask your Feng family for an explanation."
After he finished speaking, seeing that someone from the Feng family was about to speak, Lou Chuan raised his hand to stop them—in his opinion, it was all just sophistry.
Lou Chuan continued, "Now the Feng family has two choices."
"Firstly, our War God Temple Master enjoys sparring the most. Now that everyone has come to challenge the Nirvana Realm cultivators of the Feng family, we will fight them one by one, and one round will suffice. If the Feng family is willing to take the initiative to challenge any of them, we can also do them a favor."
Secondly...
He surveyed the numerous members of the Feng family with a cold and stern gaze, exuding an aura that commanded respect and left even those within the Feng family who were reborn unable to react in any way.
Lou Chuan said, "Secondly, let my War God Temple's warships clash with the Feng family's protective formation. Our two forces can also have a friendly exchange and learn from each other."
These words are very straightforward, and their meaning is very clear.
In short, it's either a battle of thirty-five against the thirty-five Nirvana cultivators of the Feng family, or a war between the two forces.
Don't say that the Temple of War is heartless—isn't this something the Feng family can choose from?
They were being very polite.
·
Upon hearing this, the Feng family patriarch and all the Feng family elders' expressions changed drastically.
The other forces hiding in various nooks and crannies, along with other slightly weaker powerhouses, quickly grasped the meaning of Lou Chuan's words from the Temple of War.
They all captured one key word: explanation.
Many cultivators couldn't help but wonder what the Feng family had done to which of the War God Temple's chosen ones that would cause such a huge commotion from the War God Temple.
The cultivators had all heard of the reputation of the Temple of War.
The disciples in that faction were certainly warlike, but I had never heard of them doing anything unreasonable.
Even though everyone is from the Southern Lan Domain, the various forces and cultivators all feel that they might have more faith in the Temple of War.
In a short time, many forces began to communicate with each other.
They were all looking for clues—it must have been something that happened recently, that the Feng family had something to do with some young genius.
Although it's common for cultivators to compete, chase, and fight each other on a daily basis, no one pays much attention unless something major happens. This is especially true for those at relatively lower levels, who are even less likely to attract attention.
However, Lian Tianqi had been leading a group to constantly pursue Wu Dongxiao. Even though they were constantly moving around and mostly traveling between mountains and ridges, many cultivators still managed to see them.
Naturally, the cultivators didn't pay much attention at the time, thinking it was just an ordinary fight—after all, Lian Tianqi had been very arrogant in recent years, and he always made a big show of competing with others.
But now that they've compared notes, many cultivators have a vague idea.
Could it be that Lian Tianqi's previous display of power was against the chosen ones of the War God Temple?
Immediately afterwards, someone whispered, "It seems like it's been a long time since we've seen Lian Tianqi."
Upon hearing this, the other young cultivators thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true!
this……
Could it really be...?
Some of the older, more powerful individuals, upon hearing these commotions and analyzing the situation further, also began to have their doubts.
Perhaps... that really is the case?
Immediately, the discussion intensified, and other channels also began to pay attention.
Everyone gradually deduced the general situation.
It must have been because Lian Tianqi relied on his superior numbers and used Nirvana to deal with a genius in the Fusion Realm. When that genius used some means to fight back and kill him, the Feng family did not continue to pursue him, but they felt that they had suffered a great loss, so they did not need to give an explanation... and that is why they aroused the anger of the War God Temple.
This guess is very close to the truth.
It wasn't until the powerful Lü family, with its two siblings who had reached the Spirit Transformation stage, offered another conjecture that they were able to complete the information.
There's a 99% chance that the genius from the War God Temple was able to kill the Feng family members, whose cultivation levels were higher than his, because he sought help from his relatives.
And that relative was no ordinary person! They were the extremely famous genius couple from the War God Temple and the Spirit Immortal Sect!
A level seven Dou Wang! A level seven Dan Wang!
They are that genius's uncle!
Recalling the glorious achievements of Zhong Cai, the seventh-level Pill King... and then thinking about his affection for his Daoist partner, Wu Shaogan... and then thinking about Wu Shaogan's terrifying strength whenever he made a move...
Lian Tianqi has met his match.
The Feng family's neglect of the couple and their pursuit of the couple's nephew exposed the displeasure of the War God Palace and the Spirit Immortal Sect.
So, the Temple of War simply brought a group of people with them.
If the Feng family doesn't know what's good for them now, more warships might come.
At that time, it will not only bring about the nirvana of thirty-five beings.
That means more than a hundred of them will probably come at once!
If the warships were to unleash their full power, they could probably carry countless disciples from the War God Temple and the Spirit Immortal Sect!
By then, the Feng family will be completely finished.
·
After quickly understanding the situation, numerous forces all scoffed at the Feng family.
What a bunch of self-important bastards.
A mere level eight power dares to be disrespectful to the level nine power, the Temple of War.
The Feng family has handled affairs in the Southern Lan Domain without much trouble over the years. Although some family members have been a bit domineering at times, they haven't caused too many problems overall.
Unexpectedly, he was just a junior who might be favored by Tongtian, yet he went and did something big!
Next, let's see what the many Nirvana beings of the War God Temple will actually do.
Even if the Feng family chooses the first option, it probably won't be an easy decision for them...
·
The Feng family members were filled with anger and resentment, but faced with such a massive warship and such overwhelming pressure, they certainly wouldn't be stubborn anymore.
They had considered many things when they discussed it before, but now they had little time to think.
There's no need to think about it.
Patriarch Feng gave a wry smile, cupped his hands, and said, "I humbly request that you all spar with us. Our clan's formation is weak; how could we possibly contend with your warships..."
The other elders also showed a hint of bitterness.
They actually looked rather pitiful.
However, on this "battlefield," no one will truly pity them.
At that moment, a gentle and handsome man with a smile walked out from behind Lou Chuan.
None of the many cultivators present, including those from other factions, recognized him.
But judging from the relatively gentle aura emanating from this person, and the fact that this person wasn't among the terrifying auras sensed earlier... someone who was initially overlooked, but who stands out remarkably upon appearing...
It should be Lou Chuan's Daoist partner, Xiao Zinuo, Xiao Danhuang.
His arrival proves that this incident is of a very high level within the Temple of War, and Xiao Danhuang himself possesses exceptional alchemy skills, enabling him to provide solid logistical support and ensure sufficient resources for all temple masters.
Seeing this, the many members of the Feng family felt even more bitter.
They no longer know how they came to be...
·
Xiao Danhuang's appearance was not intended to show off to everyone, but rather to set up the battlefield.
He raised his hand and threw out a formation plate.
The array plate transformed into a blue light, which spread out extremely quickly.
There was originally a very spacious area in front of the Feng family's house, but now not only was the entire area shrouded in blue light, but the surrounding streets and the nearby airspace were also covered.
It's like a giant dome, isolating a large area of three-dimensional space.
The warships were right outside the enclosure, as were the Feng family members.
The power of this blue light spread silently, gently pushing away cultivators hiding in every corner of the area it passed through.
The hidden cultivators: "..."
This is a bit awkward.
But they quickly slipped away and disappeared into other corners.
·
The battlefield has been prepared.
Emperor Xiao Dan said gently, "Now, let my War God Hall send a Hall Master to seek guidance from the Feng family's Nirvana." He looked at the Feng family members, "Please send someone first."
The head of the Feng family and the other elders of the Feng family looked at each other in bewilderment.
Someone needs to be sent.
But who goes on first?
Seeing the overwhelming momentum from the Temple of War, the Feng family dared not delay any longer.
Finally, Elder Feng Wu stepped forward, still with a wry smile.
"I'll go first."
·
Elder Feng Wu was a mid-stage Nirvana cultivator with formidable strength. Among the many Nirvana cultivators in the Feng family, he was the strongest besides the two late-stage Nirvana cultivators, even stronger than the deceased Elder Feng San.
It's quite appropriate for him to come out and test the waters.
Elder Feng swayed slightly and entered the protective barrier, hovering in the right corner.
At the same moment, a tall, slightly rugged but very handsome man appeared on the warship, and he also appeared on the other side in a flash.
but--
As can be seen from all the Nirvana states, this person is not in the middle stage of Nirvana, but in the early stage!
Why was this person chosen for the first battle?
Although this person's aura was indeed solid and powerful, he was still only at the initial stage.
Elder Feng was somewhat displeased, feeling as if he had been looked down upon.
But after the initial discomfort, there was a slight sense of relaxation.
He's the one who's coming out to fight the first match, and if he wins, it will be a good thing for the Feng family.
At least it can boost morale a little.
Elder Feng Wu suppressed his emotions and politely asked, "How shall I address you?"
The burly man revealed a cold smile.
"I am Jiang Chongguang, the grandmaster of your Feng family who almost killed that junior. I have come here specifically to seek your guidance!"
The moment he finished speaking, the burly man's aura suddenly erupted, like a raging storm or a volcanic eruption, incredibly terrifying, instantly filling the entire enclosure.
He didn't say a word, but it was as if a huge, ferocious tiger phantom overlapped with him and let out a fierce tiger roar!
The tiger's roar, combined with its fierce aura, shook out the terrifying pressure layer by layer.
That's too overbearing.
So savage, it was as if one could see the gaping maw of a tiger roaring—
Elder Feng was startled, and a halo of light instantly appeared around his body, which helped him withstand the attack of the aura.
He was horrified!
That was just now—
Elder Feng Wu dared not be negligent and immediately took out his long sword and attacked with lightning speed!
The blade whistled fiercely, the move extremely brutal, unleashing a single, devastating strike—
However, just as Elder Feng was about to draw his sword, he had to withdraw his sword and quickly dodge to the side.
It turned out that amidst the tiger's roar, the phantom tiger had already brought Jiang Chongguang close by!
Its imposing presence was like a heavy hammer, or like an open tiger's mouth hanging overhead.
Elder Feng seemed to smell a terrifying stench of blood that was about to engulf him instantly.
Although he reacted quickly and dodged at top speed, he was still hit.
The terrifying energy, accompanied by a tiger's roar and unleashed by Jiang Chongguang, slammed directly into Elder Feng's chest.
At that moment, it was as if he hadn't been punched, but rather struck by the level nine warship, flying uncontrollably backward and crashing into the shield at great speed.
Severe pain.
The pain was excruciating, as if every bone in my body had been broken!
Elder Feng suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The blood also contained traces of shattered internal organs.
This Jiang Chongguang attacks too fast!
Elder Feng Wu found it hard to believe.
The power of that punch just now was nowhere near what one would expect from someone in the early stages of Nirvana.
Could it be that the difference between the rebirth of an eighth-level power and that of a ninth-level power is so vast? He's clearly in the mid-stage, yet he can't even withstand a punch from an early-stage power! He's not even as fast as that early-stage power!
Elder Feng felt an overwhelming surge of grief and indignation, but he dared not hesitate for a moment and continued to dodge.
He already sensed it!
The next punch was about to hit his neck!
Is he going to be beaten to death?
