Chapter 214: Ignorant and Unyielding

Xu Qingfeng's shouts echoed in the Crane Forest Valley. In the next moment, countless dark figures appeared, surrounding the convoy.

It had to be said that the Nightmare Knights were extremely well trained, and now, in this situation, it really showed, as they didn't panic at all. Instead, they formed a battle formation, their gaze firmly fixed on the strangely dressed martial artists surrounding them.

It wasn't until they perceived the cultivation levels of these martial artists, all at least in the Vajra Qi realm, that their eyes faltered slightly, and they flashed with astonishment, vigilance, and wariness.

When he saw the sect master of the Forgotten Sea Sword Sect, as well as three other elders at the Longevity Qi Stage, and the hundreds of renowned experts in the martial world in the Frost Water Empire around him, a heavy stone seemed to have been lifted off Xu Qingfeng’s heart, as he suddenly revealed a relaxed and cheerful smile. "Ji Lengxing, I’d treated you as a brother,” he said, as he mockingly stared at Ji Lengxing, “but you didn’t seem to feel the same way. Today, the sect masters and elders of various sects have joined forces, and we will surely exterminate you without leaving a trace!"

Some of these people were sect masters, and some were elders of major sects, all with cultivation levels at the Earth Profound Realm!

In the past, such a lineup could even wreak havoc in the imperial capital!

Ji Lengxing sighed lightly. "Qingfeng, I did treat you as a brother, that's why you have survived until now. Unfortunately, you have disappointed me."

"Brother? Then why did your Ji family plunder the martial arts heritage of my Forgotten Sea Sword Sect? Why did your Ji family collude with outsiders, undermining the martial foundation of the Frost Water Empire? Do you know how serious the consequences of your actions are?" questioned Xu Qingfeng angrily.

"There are many things you don’t understand....” Ji Lengxing shook his head slightly. “You only see the present, while our Ji family looks toward the future." Ji Lengxing’s gaze fell on Zhao Yan. "How should we handle this, Master Zhao?"

Zhao Yan smiled as he looked toward the carriage. "Should we kill them all or leave some alive, my lord?"

Before Fang Chen could respond, a voice rang out. "Such audacity!"

It was one of the elders at the Longevity Qi Stage, who couldn't contain his anger. "You think you alone can wipe us out? You're oblivious even in the face of death!"

"I alone might not be enough," a smile tugged at Zhao Yan’s lips, "but what if we add the Ji family patriarch?"

Ji Congyun?

The expressions of the Forgotten Sea Sect master and others changed slightly. Could Ji Congyun have been hiding in the shadows, waiting for them to show themselves?

Zhao Yan's words not only shocked the four elders at the Longevity Qi Stage, but they also saw the hundreds of experts in the Earth Profound Realm nearby. Fear appeared on their faces.

Compared to Fang Chen, Ji Congyun's name was even more chilling in the Frost Water Empire.

A moment of silence ensued, but even after a while, there was still no sign of Ji Congyun.

The old woman next to the Forgotten Sea sect master couldn't help but sneer. "Trying to scare us? The Forgotten Sea sect master said that Ji Congyun, that old man, is currently enjoying his newly hard-earned throne back at the imperial capital. He wouldn't have the leisure to accompany you on this trip."

Hearing that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The other party had to have been just saying this to intimidate them and bid for time.

The Sect Master of the Forgotten Sea smiled faintly. "Young friend, for you to be able to enter the Longevity Qi Stage at such a young age means that you're incredibly talented. Why submit to others and become a servant? Why don’t you leave with us and roam freely in the vast martial world?"

Zhao Yan's face turned a little strange at those words. He suddenly realized that these people hadn’t encountered cultivators before. They probably had no idea about Fang Chen’s abilities, even.

It was then that the carriage’s door flew open and Fang Chen got off.

The Forgotten Sea sect master and others' gazes all fell on him.

"So that’s Fang Chen of the Grand Xia Empire?"

"Other than being slightly handsome, he doesn't seem particularly extraordinary. Does he really possess the abilities rumored to be comparable to experts in the Longevity Qi Stage?"

The faces of the hundreds of Earth Profound Stage martial artists around showed doubt.

However, the sect master of the Forgotten Sea and the others did not dare to underestimate Fang Chen. They knew that this young man before them had comparable abilities to theirs and could not be taken lightly.

Zhao Yan and the others greeted Fang Chen one after the other.

"Young Master.”

Xu Qingfeng stared at Fang Chen with intense hatred. If it weren't for this man in front of him, the martial world of the Frost Water Empire wouldn't have experienced such turmoil!

"You have two choices, either leave now or die in the Crane Forest Valley." Fang Chen looked at the Forgotten Sea sectmaster and the others, his eyes indifferent. "You have the time it takes for half a stick of incense to burn to consider."

A hint of anger appeared in the eyes of the crowd. He’s too arrogant!

The Forgotten Sea Sword sect master had a deep gaze. "Fang Chen, the martial world of the Frost Water Empire has always kept a distance from your Grand Xia. Matters between nations have nothing to do with us. If you want us to leave, we can, but hand over the martial arts heritage you plundered, and we will depart. Otherwise, there will be a battle today."

"Do you three think the same?" asked Fang Chen, looking at the other three elders with Longevity Qi Stage. "For you to have reached such a stage in your cultivation surely wasn’t easy. I hope you consider your next move carefully."

The three of them exchanged glances.

The old woman sneered. "Since we are here, that means that we’ve already made up our minds. It's impossible for us to watch the martial arts heritage of the Frost Water Empire fall into the hands of Grand Xia. That would cross a line we can’t accept!"

"Yes! Hand over what belongs to our Frost Water Empire!"

"Trying to take away the martial arts of our Frost Water Empire is impossible!"

Fang Chen sighed lightly, turned around, and returned to the carriage. Before getting in, he whispered, "Elder Ji, I'll leave the rest to you. Don't disappoint me."

The expressions of the crowd changed slightly. Is Ji Congyun really here?

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

Turning around, they saw groups of Nightmare Knights coldly staring at them.

There were thousands of Nightmare Knights!

"That’s impossible!" exclaimed the old woman. "How can there be so many Nightmare Knights? Where did they come from? There hasn’t been any signs of their presence! We've been cautious all the way and haven't detected any trace of these knights!"

"Hehe. This old man arrived here many days prior. I’ve been waiting for you." Ji Congyun walked out from among the Nightmare Knights, a faint smile on his face. Several figures stood beside him, and their aura was not weak; they were all Longevity Qi Stage martial artists!

However, unlike the members of the Forgotten Sea Sword Sect, Ji Congyun’s companions were Longevity Qi Stage martial artists from the army.

Seeing that Ji Congyun had really appeared, the faces of the Forgotten Sea Sword sect master and others turned extremely solemn. When they heard that Ji Congyun had been waiting here for several days, their faces turned even more unpleasant.

After a moment, the Forgotten Sea sect master's face turned serious. "Ji Congyun, are you truly unrepentant?"

"Well, Xu Dong, we can be considered old friends. Why choose to oppose me?" Ji Congyun smiled lightly. "How about you change your mind? I can intercede with Lord Fang on your behalf, and we can let bygones be bygones."

The Forgotten Sea sect master burst into laughter, the sound echoing loudly in the surging internal energy.

Ji Congyun remained silent, waiting patiently.

The laughter abruptly stopped, and the Forgotten Sea sect master's expression steeled. "Everyone, let's kill them all. Once they're dead, the Frost Water Empire will return to how it used to be!"

When the martial artists, who were initially somewhat apprehensive, heard this, they steeled their resolve and got ready for battle.

In the next moment, under the leadership of the Forgotten Sea sect master and others, the martial artists charged toward Ji Congyun and his group.

"Ignorant and unyielding," said Ji Congyun, sighing. He lifted his hands in the air.

"Kill!"
