Chapter 211 - 211 211 Turbulent Undercurrents

Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Turbulent Undercurrents Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Turbulent Undercurrents Huan Yun Sect was wiped out, unknown to the Tianwu Empire.

Only after Feng Wuchen led the Sky Shadow cavalry and Black Flag Army back to the Flamefire Empire did people discover that the Huan Yun Sect had been annihilated, without a single survivor.

As the news spread, it shocked the various forces of the Tianwu Empire.

The strongest sect in the Tianwu Empire had been destroyed silently!

However, all the forces within the Tianwu Empire guessed Feng Wuchen was responsible almost immediately.

Huan Yun Sect had made enemies with Feng Wuchen over the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, sending people to deal with him.

Feng Wuchen had just eradicated Ji Xing Sect, and Huan Yun Sect followed suit in destruction. It was naturally Feng Wuchen’s doing.

“Have you heard? Huan Yun Sect has been destroyed! It was Feng Wuchen’s doing,” someone exclaimed.

“Huan Yun Sect’s destruction went unnoticed for several days.”

“Feng Wuchen’s power is terrifying. Even the emperor doesn’t dare to intervene. Huan Yun Sect offended Feng Wuchen; it’s no surprise they’re dead!”

Countless cultivators of the Tianwu Empire talked about Feng Wuchen’s annihilation of Huan Yun Sect.

What they didn’t know was that Feng Wuchen also single-handedly opposed many strong practitioners from the Tianwu Empire as well as the Tianwu divine soldiers, overwhelming the royal family with his crushing power.

If the people of the Tianwu Empire knew that Feng Wuchen had faced the nation alone, who knows if they would have been scared to death?

Of course, how could the royal family leak such an embarrassing matter?

Several days later, the news of the destruction of Huan Yun Sect spread from the Tianwu Empire to other nations.

The shocking news bombarded the other three great empires!

Forces of all sizes within the three great empires and many top experts were taken aback.

First Ji Xing Sect, then Huan Yun Sect. Perhaps next would be Fenglei Sect or Tai Xu Sect.

As Huan Yun Sect was eradicated by Feng Wuchen, everyone speculated which power would be destroyed next, and many placed bets.

Fenglei Sect had already submitted to Feng Wuchen, so the next target was Tai Xu Sect!

Feng Wuchen didn’t yet possess a force strong enough to confront Tai Xu Sect, but a battle with Tai Xu Sect was inevitable, sooner or later.

Knowing about the destruction of Huan Yun Sect, the Tianwu Emperor was extremely shocked. Even Wu Kun had died at Feng Wuchen’s hands, and he secretly felt relieved that Feng Wuchen hadn’t made a move against the Tianwu royal family.

Otherwise, the royal family would have been doomed. If Feng Wuchen really had made a move, the Tianwu Emperor and other royal powerhouses would have been certain to die.

If Feng Wuchen destroyed the royal family and then eradicated Huan Yun Sect, wouldn’t the Tianwu Empire have become Feng Wuchen’s empire?

The more the Tianwu Emperor thought about it, the more terrified he became.

…

In the Tai Xu Sect’s great hall.

“Feng Wuchen has destroyed Huan Yun Sect, and we might be next. This young man takes his grudges seriously,” an elder spoke gravely, a hint of solemnity in his furrowed brow.

Another elder spoke angrily, “Feng Wuchen destroyed Ji Xing Sect before Huan Yun Sect, no doubt to intimidate Tai Xu Sect. Does he really think we’d be afraid of him?”

“One must acknowledge Feng Wuchen’s terrifying strength. He was able to kill Bai Shan and Wu Kun, which means his power is no less than that of a first-layer Tianyuan Realm, or perhaps he even has the strength to contend with the second layer. Otherwise, how would he dare be so rampant?” the Sect Master said with furrowed brows.

Hearing the Sect Master’s words, everyone’s expressions changed slightly in the great hall.

Strength to contend with the second layer of the Tianyuan Realm?

Didn’t that mean Feng Wuchen was capable of contending with the Tai Xu Sect Master?

The Tai Xu Sect Master also frowned slightly and said, “Feng Wuchen’s strength may have improved a lot, this young man is indeed remarkable.”

If Feng Wuchen’s killing of Bai Shan was just a fluke, it couldn’t be said the same for the killing of Wu Kun.

With two Tianyuan Realm experts dead at Feng Wuchen’s hands, the Tai Xu Sect Master couldn’t underestimate him.

“Sect Master, instead of waiting for Feng Wuchen to come to us, we should take the initiative to attack, so we don’t give the boy enough time to cultivate! The empire has been silent all this while. If we let this brat grow stronger, it will be difficult to kill him later on,” the Third Elder suggested, with a ruthless look in his elderly eyes.

The brow of the Tai Xu Sect Master furrowed deeply, the Third Elder’s words made sense. Feng Wuchen, as the top genius of the Flamefire Empire, had an astonishing rate of cultivation. If they didn’t act now, once Feng Wuchen grew stronger, no one would be able to deal with him!

If Feng Wuchen broke through to the Tianyuan Realm, then no one in the four great empires could stand against him, something the Tai Xu Sect Master could not overlook.

After a pause, the Third Elder continued, “Sect Master, don’t forget Feng Wuchen’s identity. He’s a Fifth Grade Thought-Forming Instrumentation Artifact Refiner who can refine Spiritual Artifacts at any moment, and he’s also the overlord of Yunzhou. The sooner we get rid of him, the better for us.”

“Feng Wuchen!” The eyes of the Tai Xu Sect Master flashed with a chilling intent to kill.

“Sect Master, I, along with the Grand Elder, will test Feng Wuchen’s strength. If we have the chance, we will kill him for sure!” the protector volunteered, his confidence evident in his words.

With Feng Wuchen holding the terrifying power to kill those in the first layer of Tianyuan Realm, the Tai Xu Sect’s protector was still so confident. Could it be that he also possessed the power of the Tianyuan Realm?

“Do not take him lightly,” the Tai Xu Sect Master nodded and said sternly, “Lei Zhenfeng has not made a move yet, probably waiting for the best opportunity. The battle between Tai Xu Sect and Feng Wuchen will be his perfect chance.”

The Shuiyue Emperor had always been worried about Feng Wuchen’s growth, fearing it might threaten the Shuiyue Empire, and he had long wanted to get rid of Feng Wuchen to take the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.

After returning from the Flamefire Empire the last time, the Shuiyue Emperor had ordered to kill Feng Wuchen as soon as possible, but now there had been silence, unsure if he was afraid of Feng Wuchen, or for some other reason.

The protector said in a deep voice, “No matter what, Feng Wuchen must die.”

…

The royal palace of the Shuiyue Empire.

The news of Huan Yun Sect’s annihilation by Feng Wuchen had reached Lei Zhenfeng’s ears.

Lei Zhenfeng was shocked, nothing but shocked.

Within the palace, many officials stood dumbfounded, their faces filled with fear.

“Feng Wuchen has… has he killed another Tianyuan Realm?” In the great hall, Lei Jue’s face was blank with shock, his eyes wide and his mouth agape.

Lei Jue shook his head blankly and said, “To what realm has Feng Wuchen’s strength actually reached?”

“I fear he has already broken through the Eight Layers of the Yuandan Realm, Huan Yun Sect and Ji Xing Sect are of similar strength, and if Feng Wuchen could eliminate Ji Xing Sect, naturally he could annihilate Huan Yun Sect as well,” the State Preceptor said solemnly.

“First Ji Xing Sect, then Huan Yun Sect, the last one will be our empire’s Tai Xu Sect! I wonder when that kid Feng Wuchen plans to deal with Tai Xu Sect,” Lei Zhenfeng said with a darkly angry tone.

“Tai Xu Sect is the strongest sect of our empire; how could we let Feng Wuchen say it will be annihilated and let it be so?” the Great General said angrily.

Lei Zhenfeng ordered, “Great General, go immediately to Tai Xu Sect, deliver my royal decree, tell the Sect Master of Tai Xu Sect to come to the palace, say that I have important matters to discuss.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” the Great General said respectfully, accepting the order.

…

Amidst the shock and sensation that swept across the nations, another earth-shattering piece of news once again swept through the four great empires.

The news stated that the next power Feng Wuchen intended to eliminate was Tai Xu Sect!

The news was absolutely true, coming from the Feng family in Unmatched City. It was said to be spoken by Feng Wuchen himself.

After the news spread, all countries were shaken, and all powers, big and small, were extremely shocked.

Feng Wuchen had just annihilated Huan Yun Sect, and now arrogantly claimed that the next power he would eliminate was Tai Xu Sect.

Tai Xu Sect was the strongest sect of the Shuiyue Empire, its Sect Master had already reached the Second Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, possessing a terrifying strength, and the Tai Xu Sect was regarded as the strongest among the four great empires, with no other power capable of contending against it.

Therefore, the mighty figures of major powers in various countries all felt that Feng Wuchen was too arrogant, too dismissive, not even regarding Tai Xu Sect in his eyes.

When Tai Xu Sect learned of this news, its upper echelons were furious as thunder, and the disciples within the sect were red with rage, all clamoring to kill Feng Wuchen.

The conflict between Feng Wuchen and Tai Xu Sect undoubtedly worsened invisibly.

For a time, all the big and small powers of the four great empires were speculating when Feng Wuchen would mobilize troops against Tai Xu Sect; could it be another month before he would move?

With Feng Wuchen eliminating one major power per month, many were guessing whether he would attack Tai Xu Sect after a month.

One piece of news rocked the four great empires, nearly overturning them all.

…

The royal palace of the Tianwu Empire.

Upon receiving the news, Duan Tian Hun’s face was filled with shock.

“Has that kid Feng Wuchen gone mad?” Duan Tian Hun stood up abruptly and said, “With such a fearsome strength held by Tai Xu Sect, does he really have the confidence to eliminate it?”

“Whether the master has the confidence, I don’t know, but the Shuiyue Emperor will definitely take the opportunity to intervene! The Shuiyue Emperor and the Sect Master of Tai Xu Sect joining forces is what I am worried about,” Yang Tianxian said, frowning.

Situ Zhentian spoke gravely, “The State Preceptor’s words are extremely true, moreover, our master is no fool; he would not speak rashly about matters he is not certain of, especially since our master has not specified when he will attack Tai Xu Sect. Your Majesty need not worry.”

Duan Tian Hun expressed his concern, “What I’m worried about is not this, set out for Unmatched City immediately! I’m worried that Feng Wuchen is in danger!”

“Danger?” Yang Tianxian and the others’ expressions changed abruptly.

Duan Tian Hun said grimly, “Knowing that the enemy is powerful, would you give them time to prepare? Feng Wuchen spreading the news of annihilating Tai Xu Sect, how could Tai Xu Sect give Feng Wuchen time to cultivate?”

“Other than the Sect Master of Tai Xu Sect, who else could contend with the Grand Commander?” a high official asked doubtfully.

Duan Tian Hun’s expression turned somber, “What if the Shuiyue Empire and Tai Xu Sect joined hands?”

Hearing this, Yang Tianxian and others’ expressions changed once again; if the Shuiyue Empire and Tai Xu Sect joined forces, their strength would indeed be terrifying!

Yang Tianxian, Situ Zhentian, and Ye Cangqiong immediately rushed to Unmatched City, not daring to delay in the slightest.

The royal family of the Shuiyue Empire and Tai Xu Sect might not be on good terms under normal circumstances, but when facing a crisis, they were still people of the empire; who knew whether they would join forces?

Duan Tian Hun’s worries naturally had his reasons.

Feng Wuchen was of mighty strength, capable of killing even those of the First Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, and he possessed a powerful semi-grade Immortal Artifact; logically, Duan Tian Hun should not have to worry about Feng Wuchen’s safety.

What was all this about? What else did Duan Tian Hun know?

All of this, Feng Wuchen was completely unaware.

At this very moment, Feng Wuchen was cultivating, hoping to break through to the Tianyuan Realm as soon as possible.

Once Feng Wuchen broke through to the Tianyuan Realm, he could challenge the Shuiyue Empire and Tai Xu Sect at any time, eliminating Tai Xu Sect would be as easy as flipping his hand!
