Chapter 1627: Chapter 1497: Battle It Is—Who’s Afraid?

With those words, the entire mining area fell silent, everyone staring in astonishment at Ling Gu and his companions.

Shu!

The middle-aged cultivator from the Gu Family and Ling Gu continued their conversation, their voices icy, clearly targeting Ye Fan.

Ye Fan’s face turned an intense shade of iron blue, his fists clenched tightly, fingernails digging into his flesh unnoticed, purple blood dripping onto the hard ground below.

At this moment, Ye Fan’s eyes seemed almost ready to spit fire, but he rationally restrained his anger!

Because he was well aware that Ling Gu and the middle-aged cultivator from the Gu Family were deliberately provoking him.

Though he had some abilities now, he was far inferior to Ling Gu, and could not afford to act impulsively!

"That middle-aged man is the Gu Family genius whom Ling Gu wanted your mother Ling Yun to marry back in the day. His name is Gu Yunfeng, quite a genius, now at the Lord Realm Peak!"

In Ye Fan’s sea of consciousness, Elder Xuan’s icy voice echoed. Clearly, he was also suppressing his anger, refraining from taking action.

On one hand, if he took action, it would consume the energy of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown. More importantly, he wanted Ye Fan to personally resolve this matter, motivating Ye Fan to cultivate more diligently!

"Hey, Ling Yun, that fool, not only refused to marry me but also defected from the Ling Family, bringing shame upon the Di Clan, and gave birth to such a little bastard, even handing him the Emperor Weapon, simply outrageous!"

Gu Yunfeng cast a contemptuous glance at Ye Fan, sneering as he spoke.

"She was ungrateful, oblivious to the big picture, her actions are blaming her own fate!"

Ling Gu nodded in agreement, showing no perception of any wrongdoing by his sister, indicating his malicious mind.

"Humph, I treated her reasonably well back then, yet that wretched woman was so ungrateful. If I had known, I’d have destroyed her cultivation first," Gu Yunfeng jeered, "I heard your Emperor Weapon, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown is now in the hands of this little bastard, why not take it back?"

Gu Yunfeng’s comment, hitting a sore spot, instantly changed Ling Gu’s expression to resemble pig liver in embarrassment.

The two chatted blithely, not sensing any impact on their families. In their eyes, Ye Fan’s mother, Ling Yun, was merely an object for trade.

Through their conversation, Ye Fan gradually understood the whole story, with Elder Xuan withholding some truths. His mother’s life in the family was genuinely arduous, facing exclusion at every corner back then.

Especially Ling Gu, lower than an animal, even willing to harm his own sister, pushing her into the flames!

The genius of the Gu Family was nothing but a spoiled disciple, living extravagantly while having a violent disposition.

Ling Yun possessed a kind nature. If it weren’t for the protection from Elder Xuan, she would have fallen into Gu Yunfeng’s hands long ago—his mother’s life in the Ling Family was a tragic history of blood and tears!

"Ling Gu, one day, I will personally tear you apart!"

Ye Fan clenched his fists, silently swearing. He never felt a stronger urge to kill than now, with the flaming hatred almost consumed his spiritual wisdom.

He might spare anyone in the Ling Family, but he would never spare Ling Gu. His death is necessary for cosmic justice!

Feeling Ye Fan’s intense murderous intent, Elder Xuan refrained from speaking further.

Ye Fan naturally kind-hearted, placing great emphasis on family bonds, producing such strong murderous intent; other than Ling Gu, no one else could evoke it.

Moreover, Ye Fan inherited his father Ye Haotian’s mettle and strategic mind along with the resilient and decisive character. His decisions were irrevocable.

Besides Ling Gu, the Gu Family also deserved death for their vile persecution of his mother Ling Yun back then.

Back when Ling Yun fled to the depths of the Xuanshou Mountain Range in the Southern Domain, a big reason was the bounty issued by the Gu Family, leaving her with nowhere to live, no path above nor passage below, forcing her to the Demon Clan territory.

"What are you looking at?"

The message in their glance asked coldly, disregarding any notion of shame in their words.

The Ling Family’s Saint Master furrowed his brow, casting a glance at Ling Gu yet choosing to say nothing, internally resentful. Revisiting such disgraceful history in public, only stained the family’s reputation!

Elder Xuan’s previous lessons hadn’t sufficed; one day he’d perish due to this foul mouth!

At this moment, Gu Family’s strongest descendant Gu Xiao stepped forward facing Ye Fan, arrogantly demanding: "Brat, hand over the Emperor Weapon—Emperor Weapon belongs exclusively to those with Emperor Bloodline, and only a true descendant should wield it. How can an outsider bastard possess the Ling Family’s Emperor Weapon? Hand it over quickly, and I’ll spare your life!"

Clamor!

With those words spoken, there was an uproar!

No one expected Gu Xiao’s bold move, coming forth on behalf of the Ling Family asking Ye Fan for the Emperor Weapon.

"Who are you? Meddling when not needed, is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown your Gu Family’s Emperor Weapon? It’s like an emperor unhurried while the eunuch is anxious!" Hu Fei, wielding a replica of the Heavenly Weapon sword, stood by Ye Fan coldly speaking.

"Brother Gu Xiao, though you’re strong, meddling in others’ affairs isn’t wise!" Wu Jingtian also stood by Ye Fan.

Shortly, Yue Chuan, Han Sandong, Shi Ye, and others stood beside Ye Fan, forming a powerful aura, stably suppressing Gu Xiao’s aura.

"What’s the meaning of this?"

Gu Xiao frowned, despite his arrogance and strength, faced with formidable heirs from the Wu Family, Imperial Family, and Barbarian clan, he was somewhat apprehensive.

If these individuals joined forces, even at his Lord Realm Early-Stage Peak, securing victory wasn’t assured, especially with their backing from powerful forces!

"You know what we mean, so what’s your take?" Hu Fei assertively spoke, the Heavenly Weapon sword replica in hand, its sword light pulsing, filled with towering murderous intent.

The Heavenly Weapon is Emperor Sha’s Emperor Weapon, despite being semi-abandoned, still immensely powerful, and even as a replica, holds significant might.

"You brats need fixing, or you want a war?"

The Gu Family’s Saint Master snorted coldly, first glancing over Hu Fei and others, and then towards their elders, allowing a massive Azure Gold Furnace to appear above his head, spinning and exuding ancient majestic aura with Emperor Weapon presence permeating the mining area.

"Fight then, who fears whom!"

Hu Tian shouted fiercely, his hand glowing with brilliance, the Heavenly Weapon treasure sword appeared in his palm, and the sharp killing intent surged straight into the Nine Heavens.

Bandit Hu Tian was ready to make a move!

On one hand, Bandit Hu had a good personal relationship with Ye Fan, and Hu Tian also saw Ye Fan’s potential. More importantly, he had old grievances with the Gu Family’s Saint Master, and seeing his precious grandson being reprimanded by the opponent was unbearable!

"Since we must fight, let’s go to the battlefield outside the heavens to fight, to avoid affecting the innocent!" The Gu Family’s Saint Master glanced at Hu Tian, flying into the sky first, a great battle was about to commence.

"Fine!"

Hu Tian shouted fiercely, brandishing the Heavenly Weapon treasure sword and following.

At the same time, the Saint Master of the Wu Family hesitated for a moment, and suddenly an eight-sided Purple Gold Hammer appeared overhead, although covered in cracks, it still emitted a trace of destructive imperial weapon aura.

This is not a true imperial weapon but a forbidden artifact refined by later generations imitating the imperial weapon, only able to unleash ten percent of the true imperial weapon’s power!

Even so, the Wu Family’s Saint Master, wielding this forbidden artifact, could sweep across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths without an imperial weapon. Facing this forbidden artifact, even quasi-emperor level strong people would turn tail and flee.

"Brother Hu, wait for me!"

The Wu Family’s Saint Master finally flew into the sky too.

"How can I remain uninvolved?"

The Imperial Family’s Saint Master also released a forbidden artifact and followed, the terrifying scene shocking everyone.

"What do you mean? Are you all against my Gu Family?"

The Gu Family’s Saint Master felt a sinking heart, Gu Family’s Imperial Weapon was the least damaged, but if, while facing the Killing Emperor’s Heavenly Weapon treasure sword, they met two artifacts able to exert part of imperial weapon power, they would stand no chance. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"No particular meaning, just here to watch!"

The Wu Family and Imperial Family’s two artifacts stabilized the void, preventing the great battle from affecting the onlookers.

The battle was on the verge of eruption.

The heroic lords of various major forces present also ascended to the sky, observing this rare battle, and the sky was filled with silhouettes for a while.

Gu Xiao couldn’t care about Ye Fan, he also took to the sky, standing with his family’s strong people, watching the movements on the battlefield.

Ye Fan and Bandit Hu and others naturally also rose to the sky, the battle was because of him, he naturally couldn’t stand by and do nothing!

"Hu Tian, make your move, let’s settle new and old scores together!"

The Gu Family’s Saint Master coldly looked at Hu Tian and said.

"Fine! Eight hundred years ago, you attacked me during my injuries. Even though you didn’t show your true face, the old me still recognized you!" Hu Tian said with a gloomy expression.

"Brother Hu, I am here to assist you!"

As a loud shout rang out, a burly, disheveled middle-aged cultivator strode forward, each step causing the void to tremble.

"Third Bandit Wenren Tongtian? He has come too!"

The surrounding heroic lords watching in the sky frowned upon seeing the arrival. The Nine Great Bandits shared the same breath and honor, Wenren Tongtian’s arrival was not good news for the Gu Family.

"Third Brother, you came so timely, help me wield the Heavenly Weapon treasure sword together and chop this shameless old cur to pieces!" Hu Tian laughed.

"Not only I have come, Second Brother and other brothers are also on the way. I have already sent Old Ninth to invite the boss!" Wenren Tongtian glanced at the Gu Family’s Saint Master upfront and said with a laugh.

Swish!

These words not only changed the Gu Family’s Saint Master’s expression but also made other heroic lords nearby want to curse, the Nine Great Bandits gather together, plus the Heavenly Weapon treasure sword, who dares provoke?

"Old cur, taste my blade!"

Hu Tian wasted no words, directly slashed out, the sword light transformed into a hundred-zhang Divine Dragon, fiercely cleaving at the Gu Family’s Saint Master, nearly shattering the entire sky.

"Boom!"

The azure-colored furnace quickly enlarged, viciously collided with the sword light, issuing a huge roar, the place immediately turned into chaotic energy, creating a massive black hole, absorbing all the energy.

"Kill!"

The Gu Family’s Saint Master urged the Azure Gold Furnace to crash toward Hu Tian, fast as lightning, it reached before him in a blink.

"Don’t be arrogant!"

Bandit Hu and Wenren Tongtian jointly wielded the Heavenly Weapon treasure sword, resisting the Azure Gold Furnace, both imperial weapons gradually revived.

The Azure Gold Furnace was ancient and majestic, the sun, moon, and stars engraved on it seemed to come alive, emitting ten thousand rays!

The Heavenly Weapon treasure sword also revived, the sharp killing intent moved through the Nine Heavens, beneath the Nine Netherworld, from a distance making flesh feel like crumbling, worthy of the Killing Emperor’s imperial weapon!
