Chapter 2988: Seeing the Grand Elder Again
“I’ve already found the tracks of the Chaotic Prime with the bamboo hat. He went to the Hefeng clan,” said Jian Chen.
“The Hefeng clan? That’s the organisation that ranks fourth on the Ice Pole Plane. In the past, they were an existence that our Moon God Hall could only look up to. We could never get in touch with them. However, it’s said that all the ancestors of the Hefeng clan have already died. The strongest in the Hefeng clan right now are just some Chaotic Prime great elders.”
“However, I’ve already shed the shackles of the Moon God Hall. I’m alone now. I’m not even afraid of offending the Flame Reverend, so why would I care about a mere Hefeng clan? My friend, let’s go. I’ll go to the Hefeng clan with you,” Yun Wufeng said freely and easily, as if death had already become nothing in his eyes. He truly seemed fearful of nothing.
So what if it was the Hefeng clan? So what if it was the Flame Reverend? At most, it was all just dying.
When a person overcame death and no longer feared death, even mentally ready to die at any time, then there obviously were not a lot of powers in the world that could knock him down.
Yun Wufeng was clearly in this state right now.
Jian Chen knew the events of the Moon God Hall had caused quite a large impact on Yun Wufeng. He did not try to console him either, as consolation was useless for something like that. He could only emerge from it by himself.
Jian Chen and Yun Wufeng immediately set off. With their speed as Chaotic Primes, they arrived at the Hefeng clan very quickly.
However, an intense battle was currently unfolding there. A colossal demonic castle stood tall on the ground, radiating with surging demon Qi. Cultivators emanating with heavy demon Qi flew out of the castle, falling into formation and rushing straight towards the Hefeng clan.
In the mountainous forest where the Hefeng clan resided, great power of formations pulsed away. Formations upon formations stacked together, forming a great force that protected the Hefeng clan.
Outside the formation, the various experts of the Empyrean Demon Cult and several powerful enemies launched an intense assault against the formations of the Hefeng clan.
Deafening rumbles rang out constantly. The violent pulses of energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings, making the ground sink and destroying countless mountains.
Jian Chen and Yun Wufeng concealed their presence and hid away carefully in a very distant location, observing the battlefield from a hundred kilometers away.
By now, all the experts of the Hefeng clan had hidden away in the formation as the many experts of the Empyrean Demon Cult barraged the formations with attacks, breaching through them in various ways while exhausting their energy.
Among them, the four balls of light in the sky were the most dazzling. A figure faded in and out in each battle of light, and the presence they gave off was so powerful that they had all reached late Chaotic Prime.
When Li Qingshan saw the four balls of light, he immediately recognised who they were. They were the Cloud Demon, Blood Demon, Wind Demon, and Blade Demon of the five generals of the Empyrean Demon Cult.
Elsewhere, Jian Chen also found the commander of the seventh army, Yaxi Lian!
It made Jian Chen recall the various events and conflicts that had occurred between him and Yaxi Lian back then in the Pingtian Empire, which filled him with sighs.
Back then, when he first met Yaxi Lian, he did not even have the ability to run away. If fairy Hao Yue had not stepped in and assisted him at the critical moment, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
Yet now, he had already become an expert who could kill Chaotic Primes. On the other hand, Yaxi Lian’s strength had increased slightly compared to back then, but she was still stuck as a Godking.
Yaxi Lian’s appearance made Jian Chen think of fairy Hao Yue. He immediately became gloomy.
“The Hefeng clan is probably done for. The Empyrean Demon Cult seems to have launched a full-blown assault on the formations, but actually, it’s only to distract the Hefeng clan. A portion of the Empyrean Demon Cult has already secretly cast down a formation around the Hefeng clan, and the formation seems to be some kind of powerful Demon Formation of Blood Sacrifice.” Yun Wufeng watched the battle sternly. Standing outside the picture, he could tell the Empyrean Demon Cult’s true intentions with a single glance.
“Looks like the Empyrean Demon Cult hasn’t just come to destroy the Hefeng clan. It’s not that simple.”
“The protective formations of the Hefeng clan are nowhere close to the past in terms of power. It’s said that the past formations of the Hefeng clan could stop attacks from Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes, but now, probably even a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime can get through them with ease.” Yun Wufeng’s voice was filled with emotion. Was the colossal organisation that once ranked fourth on the Ice Pole Plane going to be completely destroyed today?
Afterwards, Yun Wufeng looked at Jian Chen and said, “My friend, now that the Empyrean Demon Cult is attacking the Hefeng clan, we probably can’t get involved. Otherwise, if the Empyrean Demon Cult treats us as people of the Hefeng clan, that won’t lead to any good outcome at all. Some of the experts from the Empyrean Demon cult are even more terrifying than Yue Wuguang.”
Jian Chen said nothing. He stared at the headquarters of the Empyrean Demon Cult, and the light in his eyes flickered. After a moment of silence, he said, “Senior Yun, please help me keep an eye out for the expert with the bamboo hat we saw in the Ice Goddess Hall. Once you discover this person, please keep him busy for me, senior Yun.”
“Where are you going?” Yun Wufeng stared at Jian Chen in surprise.
“I’m off to get some powerful reinforcements!” Jian Chen flew away after throwing that behind. He concealed himself using the Laws of Space, silently approaching the demon castle.
Very soon, he arrived before the demon castle, but his appearance and presence changed once again. He had become a Godking from the Empyrean Demon Cult.
Currently, the gates of the demon castle were still wide-open. Various cultivators flowed out endlessly. Jian Chen used this identity as a cover to enter the demon castle without any obstacles.
Very soon, Jian Chen arrived in a remote corner of the demon castle. He began calling for the demon castle’s artifact spirit. As a high quality god artifact, the demon castle obviously had an artifact spirit.
However, after calling for a good while, Jian Chen received no reply at all. With no other choice, his presence immediately changed.
The moment his presence changed, a powerful pressure immediately descended, enveloping Jian Chen with a devastating demon Qi.
The artifact spirit of the demon castle immediately discovered the outsider who had slipped in.
“It’s me! I’m one of you! I want to see the grand elder!” A tablet immediately appeared in Jian Chen’s hand. The tablet radiated with a heavy demon Qi. The unique presence it contained immediately made the power of the demon castle in the surroundings come to a forceful halt.
At the same time, on the highest floor of the demon castle, an old man in black robes stood with his arms behind his back. Before him was a huge demon mirror that depicted the battlefield between the Empyrean Demon Cult and the Hefeng clan.
The old man issued order after order, personally commanding the battle.
The old man was the grand elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Cheng Ming.
Not only had he successfully reconstructed his body now, but even his cultivation had reached Grand Prime.
Suddenly, his expression changed. He was surprised. “Jian Chen? What is he doing here? Send him over to me.”
With that, demon Qi churned in Cheng Ming’s surroundings, and Jian Chen suddenly appeared there. He had been sent over by the artifact spirit of the divine hall.
“Greetings, grand elder!” Jian Chen immediately clasped his fist and bowed.
