Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 408 The Shock of the Divine Covenant Squad
Chapter 408: Chapter 408 The Shock of the Divine Covenant Squad
After dealing with the Ancient God Incarnation, Chen Fan raised his hand and drew the floating Soul Force into his palm, then released his Divine Sense to envelop and absorb it.
Having reached the Golden Core Realm and with his Divine Sense strengthened, he could quickly absorb the pure Soul Force, no longer needing to spend as much time as before.
Previously, controlling the Flying Swords had exhausted too much of his mental power, but now with the supplement of the Soul Force, he felt a wave of ease throughout his body.
Without hesitation, Chen Fan controlled the still undissipated pair of Nine Revolutions Golden Crows and swiftly swooped towards the members of the Ghost Witch Sect.
Since he had declared he was there to annihilate the entire Ghost Witch Sect, it couldn’t just be empty words.
Moreover, these members were all evil doers, and their presence in the world was nothing but a calamity.
The members of the Ghost Witch Sect had just witnessed the power of the Golden Crows, and now seeing them flying towards them, they were scared out of their wits and hastily started to flee.
Unfortunately for them, they were not even one-tenth as fast as the Golden Crows. Barely had the thought of escaping formed in their minds when the Golden Crows had already swooped down in front of them, and with a burst of flames from their mouths, they were turned to ash in the blink of an eye.
In just the span of ten breaths, the members of the Ghost Witch Sect had been completely burnt to a crisp, and the Sect itself was aflame everywhere, rapidly falling into ruin.
Having finished this task, Chen Fan dismissed his Divine Skills and let out a long breath, then turned and walked down the mountain, retracting the Thundercloud Sword as well.
Although the Soul Force had nourished his spiritual soul, the Nine Revolutions Golden Crow Skills had drained Chen Fan considerably, leaving him in a weakened state. To prevent any further incidents, he needed to leave the area as quickly as possible.
He approached Su Qingyan and the others, "This place is not safe to linger, let’s hurry on."
Everyone looked at Chen Fan with complex gazes, and the air was filled with an indescribable atmosphere.
Having witnessed his various methods just now, Chen Fan had become a descended Immortal in their eyes.
Lao Cai even excitedly knelt down and kowtowed twice to Chen Fan, overwhelmed with excitement, "Immortal! You truly are the boundless and powerful Immortal, for Lao Cai to serve as a guide to an Immortal in this lifetime, even my ancestors’ graves would be billowing with blue smoke!"
Chen Fan was torn between laughter and tears.
The others also looked at Chen Fan with reverence, no longer could any trace of disdain be seen in their eyes.
Sun Heng was the first to speak, bowing respectfully to Chen Fan, "Immortal Master Chen, you truly are a Divine Dragon among men, unparalleled in the world! The techniques you displayed just now were truly inspiring, from the very beginning, I felt that Mr. Chen was extraordinary, but I dared not be certain and didn’t voice it. Now, it seems that my guess was indeed true!"
The rest of the people also started heaping praises on Chen Fan, all repeating similar sentiments about how they had felt from the start that Chen Fan was no ordinary person.
Chen Fan felt disdain in his heart, thinking, on the way here, I didn’t sense a shred of respect from you all. Now each of you speak as if you recognized a gem among the rocks, which is just utterly hypocritical.
Sun Jingyi also came up to Chen Fan, her head bowed, shoulders hunched, and full of restraint, she then gave a serious bow to Chen Fan, "I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have treated you with that attitude before. I am the frog at the bottom of the well, my vision is short-sighted, I am arrogant and conceited, please forgive me!"
Listening to Sun Heng and the others’ flattery, and seeing Sun Jingyi proactively admitting her mistakes without making any excuses for herself, Chen Fan thought more highly of her.
He smiled and said, "It’s good that you recognize your problems. Alright, let’s not delay any longer, hurry down the mountain."
After speaking, Chen Fan led Su Qingyan down the mountain.
Seeing that Chen Fan held no blame against her, Sun Jingyi felt an overwhelming surge of excitement, thinking that her image might still be redeemable in the eyes of such a powerful figure as Chen Fan, and she quickly followed them down the mountain.
The others did not delay any further and quickly followed suit.
Meanwhile,
Not far from the Ghost Witch Sect headquarters, a small team of seven was stealthily making their way toward the direction of the Ghost Witch Sect.
The aura of these seven was incredibly robust, all having reached the Divine Realm level!
The leader was a middle-aged man with a square face, a stern gaze, and restrained breath.
This person was the captain of the third squad of Divine Covenant’s Capital branch, named Xue Qishan, a powerful fourth-grade Divine Realm expert.
The remaining six were members of the third squad, two second-grade Divine Realm and four first-grade Divine Realm.
Among the four in the first-grade Divine Realm was the son of Xiao Zhantian, Xiao Che!
At this moment, Xiao Che’s face was fraught with tension; it was his first time formally joining the team on a mission, and the target was to eliminate the Ghost Witch Sect, which had troubled the Divine Covenant for a long time. Naturally, he dared not slacken in the slightest.
Last time he wanted to rely on the Dragon Vein for a breakthrough, but the Dragon Vein had mysteriously disappeared, which had frustrated him for a long period. However, with the Dragon Vein having vanished on its own, there was nothing anyone could do about it, and he had to silently accept it, starting to look for other means of breaking through.
It just so happened that through various means, the people within Divine Covenant had finally pinpointed the location of the Ghost Witch Sect headquarters, dispatching their third squad to annihilate this evil Sect.
If the mission were completed, they would receive a great deal of merit, which he could then use to apply for Heaven and Earth Treasures from the Divine Covenant to aid his breakthrough.
Although he was the son of Xiao Zhantian, Xiao Zhantian did not want his son to become someone who only knew to rely on his elders, so he would not lend Xiao Che too much help.
Asking someone to help him find the Dragon Vein was already the utmost help he could offer, and with the Dragon Vein gone, Xiao Che had no choice but to figure out a way to break through by himself.
"The Ghost Witch Sect’s patriarch is only at the third-grade Divine Realm, while our captain is at the fourth grade. This mission is practically fail-proof, and getting the merit is almost a certainty. Once we’re back, I’ll be able to exchange merits for a breakthrough item. My strength will increase, and then I’ll be able to settle the score with that guy Chen Fan!" Xiao Che calculated silently in his heart.
Just then, a powerful surge of energy suddenly emerged from the direction of the Ghost Witch Sect headquarters.
Xue Qishan immediately halted, squinting to look over.
"It’s coming from the direction of the Ghost Witch Sect, a battle seems to have erupted there. With such a strong fluctuation being felt from such a distance, the people involved must be extraordinary. Let’s pick up the pace and see what’s going on!" Xue Qishan made the assessment and then hastened their speed, sprinting towards the front.
Xiao Che and the others immediately followed.
"Someone found the Ghost Witch Sect before we did? However, apart from our Divine Covenant, I doubt anyone could easily wipe out the Ghost Witch Sect. Recklessly challenging the Ghost Witch Sect will only be a death wish," Xiao Che thought to himself.
Before long, they arrived at the headquarters of the Ghost Witch Sect.
But as the scene before their eyes came into view, everyone was stunned.
They saw destruction all around, and although the sea of fire had receded, the surroundings were still suffused with high temperatures. The ground was littered with a great deal of ash, and with their Divine Realm prowess, they could easily determine that these were human ashes!
Xue Qishan looked at the scene in astonishment. After inspecting it, he turned to look at the six people behind him with a grave expression, slowly stating, "The Ghost Witch Sect has long practiced Evil Cultivation Skills, so remnants of an evil aura linger after death. I just discerned five Divine Realm auras, which I can almost certainly identify as the patriarch and four elders of the Ghost Witch Sect."
"There’s a large amount of ash around here, and if I’m not mistaken, the Ghost Witch Sect... has been exterminated!"
