Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Start of the War

The secret entry of powerful figures from Yunzhou into Tianzhou has been like an invisible energy shield for the Feng family.

With this, Feng Wuchen could rest easy while cultivating in the Sky Pavilion, waiting for the arrival of the genius rankings competition.

The genius rankings competition gathers the elite students from the four great empire academies, all of them outstanding members of the younger generation with exceptional strength.

Feng Wuchen desired an opportunity to cultivate in the Divine Valley, but with his current cultivation level, it was simply impossible.

In the last genius rankings competition, the first place winner Nie Yang was already at the fifth level of the Yuandan Realm, an incredibly terrifying strength.

Therefore, if Feng Wuchen wanted to secure a spot, he had to reach the third layer of the Yuandan Realm within this month to stand a chance.

...

Hopefully, this genius rankings competition would not see the emergence of too many fearsome prodigies.

As time passed by day by day, everything in Unmatched City remained quite calm.

After leaving with Huangfu Zhantian, there had been no news from the Huangfu family.

Could the Huangfu family really endure this setback in silence?

As a genius disciple of the Tianyun Sect, Huangfu Zhantian had a lofty status. Would he let it go when he was injured by a young girl?

But why had there been no action from the Huangfu family for several days?

It was because of the fear of the mysterious and terrifying barrier set by Ling Xiaoxiao, and respect for her identity!

The Huangfu family hadn’t been inactive these days; instead, they were secretly investigating Ling Xiaoxiao’s background and had informed the Tianyun Sect of the situation.

Unfortunately, despite several days of investigation, they were unable to find out anything about Ling Xiaoxiao.

Within the grand hall, the high-ranking members of the Huangfu family had gloomy expressions, with a chilling murderous aura permeating the air.

“Reporting to the Family Head, Feng Wuchen is not at the Feng family. His whereabouts are unknown,” a Yuandan Realm expert reported respectfully.

“Any news of Ling’er?” Huangfu Yunzhong asked in a deep voice.

“Not yet. After leaving Unmatched City, there has been no word from Ling’er. It’s feared she may have encountered misfortune,” a member of the upper echelon reported respectfully.

“Family Head, in recent days, someone has been secretly watching us. I fear Feng Wuchen already has his next plan in motion,” an elder said gravely.

Huangfu Yunzhong nodded and frowned, saying, “Zhantian was careless and has startled the snake. Feng Wuchen will never allow the Feng family to be in jeopardy. Tianzhou is no longer peaceful.”

“Hmph! If it weren’t for that wretched girl, I would have killed Feng Wuchen a long time ago!” Huangfu Zhantian said coldly and angrily. But thinking of the terrifying barrier set by Ling Xiaoxiao, he still felt residual fear.

“Family Head, Feng Wuchen is growing too fast. We must get rid of him as soon as possible. Otherwise, once he becomes stronger, he will pose an even greater threat to our Huangfu family,” another elder said gravely.

“Humph! Qing’er and the Great Elder died at the hands of Feng Wuchen. Do you think I will let him go?” Huangfu Yunzhong banged the table and said angrily, “Doesn’t Feng Wuchen want to participate in the genius rankings competition? Let him live for one more month! By then, he will definitely return to Tianyan Academy.”

“That girl has been following him all the time. We can’t break through that mysterious force!” Huangfu Zhantian said darkly and angrily.

“I have my ways!” Huangfu Yunzhong said grimly, with a trace of ferocity on his face.

“Swoosh!”

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the grand hall.

“Grandfather!” Huangfu Zhantian exclaimed with joy.

“Old Family Head!” The high-ranking members bowed respectfully.

The person who arrived was Huangfu Tianba, the strongest member of the Huangfu family!

With the arrival of Huangfu Tianba, the entire hall was immediately enveloped by an extremely terrifying aura, causing people’s hearts to tremble with fear.

“Father, what was the outcome at the Tianyun Sect?” Huangfu Yunzhong inquired.

Huangfu Tianba was silent for a moment, then said gravely, “The protector of the Tianyun Sect agrees with our decision to eliminate Feng Wuchen as soon as possible. This boy poses too great a threat.”

“Grandfather, what does the Sect Master think?” Huangfu Zhantian quickly asked.

Huangfu Tianba replied, “He did not approve, but did not object either.”

“That means he has consented. Before I left the mountain, the Sect Master also said he supported my decision. Besides, the Tianyun Sect wouldn’t want Feng Wuchen to grow stronger either,” Huangfu Zhantian said with a cold smile, his expression brimming with smug satisfaction.

A flash of viciousness in his eyes, Huangfu Zhantian continued, “In less than ten days, I don’t know what kind of magical pills Feng Wuchen consumed. His cultivation jumped from the ninth layer of the Transformative Realm to the second layer of the Yuandan Realm, a pace of increase so terrifying that not a second like it can be found in the entire Empire.”

What Huangfu Zhantian dreaded the most was that Feng Wuchen could withstand sixty percent of his Qi Force!

“On the grand birthday of Feng Zhengxiong, that wretched girl gave him a treasure named Blood Jade Bodhi, which instantly improved Feng Zhengxiong’s cultivation by one level. If Feng Wuchen also consumed it, it’s not surprising that he could break through to the second layer of Yuandan Realm,” Huangfu Yunzhong said grimly.

“Dispatch someone to eliminate those spying on us. The audacity to spy on our Huangfu family is simply courting death,” Huangfu Yunzhong said coldly.

…

A month swiftly passed by.

Huanyang and Luanshen made smooth breakthroughs to the third layer of the Yuandan realm. The batch of death-row prisoners they brought also greatly improved in strength, reinforcing the might of Sky Pavilion considerably.

The Sky Pavilion was still in its initial developmental stage with not many members. All the death-row prisoners combined didn’t even number a hundred, but their strength was not to be underestimated!

After exiting his seclusion, Feng Wuchen headed to Tianyan Academy with Ling Xiaoxiao and others, with Chi Huang and Huanyang following covertly.

There were three days left before the start of the genius rankings competition. Feng Wuchen was to regroup at the academy, to be led to the Divine Valley by Xing Tianfeng and the elders!

On the way to Tianyan Academy, Dao Soul suddenly appeared.

“Reporting to the Grand Commander, the Huangfu family has set an ambush! It’s at Tianyue Mountain, a place we must pass through. Huangfu Tianba is very likely to make a move,” Dao Soul reported respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen’s brows furrowed and he said coldly, “It seems they have been waiting for this opportunity all along. No wonder there was no movement for a month, but then again, have I not been waiting for this opportunity too?”

“Huangfu Tianba?” Liu Qingyang’s eyes flashed with fear before he expressed his concern, “Big Brother Feng, their interference at this time will cost us a lot of time, and the headmasters of the academy are all waiting!”

“Huanyang, Chaos God, command Xuantian Sect to head to Tianyue Mountain immediately! Swift battle, swift resolution!” Feng Wuchen ordered as they continued on their way.

The shadows following them, Huanyang, and Chaos God had already set off to execute the order at top speed.

“Big Brother Feng, what about the Feng family?” Miao Qingqing asked with worry.

Feng Wuchen said solemnly, “Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for Leng Mucheng to inform the Great Commander and the Capital Lord of the royal city.”

Not long after Feng Wuchen and his group departed, a figure with hair as white as snow and a profound gaze that flickered with imperceptible ferocity suddenly appeared.

This elder was none other than Huangfu Tianba! However, he did not obstruct Feng Wuchen nor did he make a move.

Half an hour later, Feng Wuchen and his companions had already arrived at the forest in front of Tianyue Mountain, their expressions becoming extremely grave as they vigilantly scanned their surroundings.

Feng Wuchen and the others were not in a hurry to enter Tianyue Mountain; they had to wait for powerhouses like Mu Tianyun to arrive before they dared to go in.

“Something is not right!” Zhang Junlan said gravely, feeling uneasy.

“Everyone be careful.” Feng Wuchen cautioned, as he too felt a sense of unease.

“Whiz, whiz, whiz!”

Suddenly, from all directions, there came a dozen sounds of sonic booms, as arm-thick, sharp, spiked branches shot towards them.

An ambush had clearly been set in the forest long ago!

“Be careful!” Feng Wuchen shouted in a low voice, as they quickly dodged.

“There are people underground!” Ling Xiaoxiao noticed movements in the ground and immediately warned.

No sooner had she spoken than six people burst from beneath the ground, launching a ferocious attack on Feng Wuchen, targeting him specifically.

All six attackers were not weak, each possessed cultivation between the First Level and the Third Layer of the Yuandan Realm.

“Brother Feng, be careful!” Ling Xiaoxiao charged forward with haste.

“What skill is there in bullying with numbers?” Zhang Junlan and the others also did not hesitate to strike.

“Courting death!” Feng Wuchen roared, his overwhelming strength erupting, golden light flashing violently, and his fierce Qi Force wildly sweeping around.

The attackers’ faces changed drastically with shock and fear, and they hurriedly retreated.

“Yuandan Realm Third Layer! This kid actually made a breakthrough again!” one of the Third Layer Yuandan Realm experts exclaimed in horror, and even though he was at the same level, he was still intimidated by Feng Wuchen’s violent power.

“Kill!” A cold murderous aura enveloped Feng Wuchen, his fierce gaze sweeping over the six, and with a mere gesture, his Fiery Blade appeared out of nowhere, ready to lash out.

But just then, behind Feng Wuchen, the ground beneath Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly opened as a hand reached out and grabbed her ankle, pulling her into the ground in an instant.

“Xiao Xiao!” Feng Wuchen’s face drastically changed!

“Not good!” Liu Qingyang broke out in a cold sweat with fear.

A powerful enemy was still hidden underground!

Feng Wuchen and his companions wanted to rescue her, but it was already too late.

“Feng Wuchen! In just one month’s time, you’ve made another breakthrough! Truly astonishing and unexpected!” A haughty, cold laughter sounded, followed by a figure that materialized abruptly.

The person who appeared was Huangfu Zhantian!

“Whiz, whiz, whiz!”

After him, several figures flickered into existence, all of them high-ranking members of the Huangfu family, including Huangfu Yunzhong among them!

“Feng Wuchen, today you shall not escape even if you had wings!” Huangfu Yunzhong said coldly.

“If you dare harm a single hair on Xiao Xiao, I’ll ensure the Huangfu family is reduced to ashes!” Feng Wuchen’s chilling voice trembled with murderous fury, spreading out wildly.

“Just with the few of you?” Huangfu Zhantian scoffed disdainfully, “Feng Wuchen, your people will not make it!”

“What?” Hearing this, Liu Qingyang and the others’ complexions changed drastically.

Feng Wuchen’s face turned completely somber!

…

On their way to Tianyue Mountain, Mu Tianyun and many other strong individuals from Yunzhou were suddenly stopped by someone.

“Huangfu Tianba!” Mu Tianyun was extremely astonished.

“Yuandan Realm Ninth Level!” Chu Wuheng and others’ faces turned pale, that surging pressure causing them to feel terror.

“I had already guessed that you would come to Tianzhou to aid Feng Wuchen, Mu Tianyun, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to save him now!” Huangfu Tianba spoke slowly.

Mu Tianyun frowned deeply and said solemnly, “I will hold him off, you all go immediately to reinforce the Grand Commander!”

“Sect Master Mu! I’ll take you!” Huanyang shouted lowly, and instantly used a teleportation skill to disappear with Mu Yunshan.

“Snap!”

“Humming!”

Huangfu Tianba suddenly brought his hands together, his Ninth Level Yuandan Realm’s fearsome power bursting forth wildly, the ground shaking and exploding, and fierce winds howling.

“You shall not pass!” Huangfu Tianba roared loudly.
