Less than thirty seconds.
The screams vanished.
The Guardian Tian Can had been completely consumed by the Ancient Demon Fire.
A once mighty Tribulation Stage expert had perished.
An honorable Tribulation Stage powerhouse, yet before Yao Hun, he was slaughtered like an ant, powerless to resist.
Yao Hun merely used the Ancient Demon Fire, not even exercising his true strength.
It must be said, Yao Hun’s power is terrifying.
Yao Hun indeed deserves the title of Great Venerable of the Medicine God Hall.
The faces of the Thousand Tomb Sect Leader and others were filled with fear.
The faces of all disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect were also filled with fear.
"Gu Chenfeng really ordered him killed..."
"Such terrifying flames, they feel even scarier than the Demon Fire, who exactly is he?"
"He actually killed the Guardian Tian Can, is he truly not afraid of offending Penglai Immortal Island?"
The disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect discussed in terror, their courage completely shattered.
"The Guardian Tian Can is dead!" The Thousand Tomb Sect Leader said, extremely fearful and worried, "We’ve offended Penglai Immortal Island, we’re truly finished now."
"This young man is too impulsive," said the Immortal Sword Sect Leader in fear, "Why wouldn’t he listen to advice? This is going to be a huge problem; with Penglai Immortal Island’s terrifying strength, we are utterly powerless to resist."
The Netherworld King looked at Yao Hun in horror, fearfully thinking, "Such horrifying flames, if I’m not mistaken, it should be the Ancient Demon Fire, and this fire is even more terrifying than the Origin Fire of the Fire Spirit Race."
"A Tribulation Stage expert was actually burned alive... He truly dared to kill," Ling Qiushui and Shangguan Yanran watched in shock, their dainty faces written with fear.
No one present dared to believe that Gu Chenfeng really dared to order the killing of the Guardian Tian Can.
Could Gu Chenfeng truly not fear retaliation from Penglai Immortal Island?
What kind of confidence allows Gu Chenfeng to be so arrogant and fearless?
Does he believe that with only Yao Hun, he can contend against the entire Penglai Immortal Island?
After the initial shock, Thousand Tomb anxiously said, "Gu Chenfeng, you were too impulsive, killing the Guardian Tian Can means we’re completely finished."
"It’s too late to say anything now," Celestial Monarch Xing said with a helpless bitter smile, "When in three days, Guardian Tian Can and his others do not return, the Profound Cyan Sect will surely know something is wrong, and that will be a true catastrophe."
"Alas," the Immortal Sword Sect Leader also sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say.
"Everyone stop talking," Ling Qiushui frowned, "The Profound Cyan Sect intended to attack in full force; they should have been killed—if we feared everything, we wouldn’t have spread the news about the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill in the first place."
"Besides, Gu Chenfeng ordered the killing of Guardian Tian Can as vengeance for the deceased fellow disciples, and it might not even be a bad thing."
"With this senior so powerful, the Profound Cyan Sect might not dare to attack us."
Shangguan Yanran nodded and said, "Qiushui has a point, without Gu Chenfeng, today both of our sects might have already been wiped out."
The support from the two martial uncles made Gu Chenfeng feel quite touched inside.
Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly and said, "Sect Leader, not killing this person would be letting the tiger return to the mountain; he would definitely make another move, and by then, he would only bring more powerhouses, making it even harder to deal with, increasing the death toll."
"Now that he’s killed, at least the Profound Cyan Sect loses a Tribulation Stage powerhouse, and it will make them wary, not daring to act rashly, thus giving us more time to prepare."
The Thousand Tomb Sect Leader, Immortal Sword Sect Leader, and various elders fell silent.
"Sect Leader, esteemed elders, I believe what Gu Chenfeng said makes sense,"
Fen Qianmu smiled slightly, "The rationale of killing to set an example is understood by all; if we let him go back, they would instead think we’re afraid, only letting them act with impunity."
"Exactly!" Ling Qiushui again supported Gu Chenfeng, "Therefore, Gu Chenfeng was right to kill! Killing a Tribulation Stage figure is enough to make them fear."
"I also agree with what Young Master Feng said," the Netherworld King said gravely, "Even if the Profound Cyan Sect won’t let it go, they won’t act rashly, especially since the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association will not stand by idly."
"Moreover, with the addition of this Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation powerhouse, should the Profound Cyan Sect dare to attack again, it’s unclear who would die then."
Upon hearing the Netherworld King’s words, everyone finally realized they also had the commerce association’s support.
The Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association is indeed a terrifying power.
Shangguan Celestial Map breathed a sigh of relief, nodding, "If the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association assists, the Profound Cyan Sect truly wouldn’t dare to act recklessly."
Thousand Tomb immediately clasped his fists and said, "Netherworld King, upon returning, please convey my gratitude to Elder Tian Jizi."
"The Ancient Sect Leader is too kind," the Netherworld King smiled slightly and glanced at Gu Chenfeng.
If not for Gu Chenfeng stepping in, the Ancient Divine Sect’s crisis would not have prompted the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association to intervene.
Of course, the Netherworld King naturally wouldn’t voice these thoughts.
"Ancient Sect Leader, Immortal Sword Sect Leader, Young Master Feng, I shall return to report this matter to the great elder, so as to prepare for the next steps. Farewell," the Netherworld King clasped his fists again. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ n0velfire.net
Gu Chenfeng replied with a faint smile, "Return and inform Elder Tian Jizi that I will visit the commerce association shortly."
"Alright!" The Netherworld King nodded and, before leaving, couldn’t help but take another look at Yao Hun.
"This person is terrifyingly powerful, the Earth Ancestor should know him," the Netherworld King thought to himself, then flashed and disappeared.
After the Netherworld King left.
Yao Hun looked at Gu Chenfeng and respectfully whispered, "Old Ancestor, I will also take my leave."
Gu Chenfeng whispered, "Return and have Yao Xuan open the teleportation array to the Frozen World."
Yao Hun asked in surprise, "Old Ancestor, are you going to see her?"
"Hmm," Gu Chenfeng nodded.
"Old Ancestor, the array can be opened tomorrow, disciple takes his leave," Yao Hun said respectfully, then waved his hand, and a vortex of flames appeared out of nowhere.
"Farewell, Senior Candle Dragon," Yao Hun transmitted, then stepped into the vortex of flames and disappeared.
"This young man’s strength might just rival the Fire Spirit Ancestor," Candle Dragon thought to himself.
Just as Yao Hun left, Ling Qiushui immediately pointed at Gu Chenfeng and scolded angrily, "Gu Chenfeng! Come down here!"
If Yao Hun hadn’t left, Ling Qiushui wouldn’t dare to be so brazen.
"This brat dares to speak to the master like that, she’s tired of living!" The small Fire Dragon immediately fumed and was about to descend to teach Ling Qiushui a lesson.
"I wonder how dragon meat tastes," Gu Chenfeng said coldly, casting a sharp glance at Candle Dragon.
Candle Dragon was so frightened that his dragon eyes nearly popped out, cold sweat pouring down his body, then hastily explained, "Master, don’t misunderstand, I just wanted to share a bit of the Ancient Fire Attribute Origin with her."
"Is that so?" Gu Chenfeng sneered, "Just right, uncle wants Demon Fire, your Ancient Fire Attribute Origin would suit better."
Gu Chenfeng slowly floated down.
The Three-headed Demon Wolf quickly transmitted, "Brother Fire Dragon, Ling Qiushui is the master’s martial uncle."
"Almost forgot, the master is now a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect, that little girl is the master’s martial uncle, this little grandma must not be provoked," the small Fire Dragon felt a wave of fear in his heart.
