However, an untimely voice emanated from Tongshan, who had just been promoted to the rank of Jin Gang:
“Sect Hierarch, I understand all that you’ve said; our fear isn’t the Flame Dragon Organization or the Ancient Martial World.
It’s that guy named Xu Fan.
I’ve heard he single-handedly destroyed the carefully orchestrated operations by Huang Pao, killing all the experts including Huang Pao himself, even the Zhulong perished at his hands.
I’m afraid if this guy sets his sights on us, how will we ever stop him?”
Instantly, everyone seriously looked toward Tongshan, admiring his courage while implicitly deriding his cluelessness of the danger he was courting.
Speaking to the Sect Hierarch in this manner under such circumstances, wasn’t he essentially slapping him in public?
If they were a military force, Tongshan would have been immediately taken down and punished for disheartening the troops.
The person in the red robes glared at Tongshan unapologetically, inwardly regretting, in the heat of the moment, why he promoted such a fool to a position of Jin Gang.
...
He had seen the foolish, but never one as foolish as this.
Wasn’t this seeking death?
Upon seeing the expressions of the people around him, Tongshan also realized he had spoken out of turn, swallowing nervously and quickly bowing his head in silence.
However, Ren Tianhei still smiled confidently, far from blaming him, he went on to explain: “Xu Fan indeed poses a great trouble, but we need not deal with him ourselves.
Don’t forget, the Zhulong he killed was the Young Master of the Hegemon Emperor Sect from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
The Hegemon Emperor Sect is a top-tier Sect with many powerful figures.
Just by sending one or two strong figures after the two realms’ passage opens in half a year, they could slaughter Xu Fan as easily as one would kill a chicken or a pig.”
“Even more so, the strong individuals from the Hegemon Emperor Sect might take their anger out on the Ancient Martial World as well and eradicate it.
Wouldn’t that make it our world by then?”
“So, all of you just be at ease, let’s spend a few peaceful days here, and simply await the grand joyful event after half a year,” Ren Tianhei said convincingly, instantly easing the longstanding doubts in everyone’s minds.
There was a very important point he didn’t mention, however, which was that he planned to try and seek refuge with the Hegemon Emperor Sect when the time came.
If successful, he would be able to go to the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, gain access to more cultivation resources.
Once he was strong enough, no…
once his wings were fully fledged and he had amassed certain strength, he could break away from the Hegemon Emperor Sect.
Then he could re-establish the Black Blade Organization, letting the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm also experience the sin and terror brought by the Black Blade Organization.
This was his anticipation.
Even in his thoughts, he envisaged a day when the Black Blade Organization would rank among the top-tier powers of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
With this thought, his smile grew wider, his gaze filled with brighter anticipation.
However, he was unaware that someone was already on their way to kill him.
…
The sky slowly brightened.
After the military fighter jet landed at the airport in Kunyuan City, Yundian Province, its sole passenger Xu Fan emerged.
He headed straight to a secluded corner, soared into the sky, ascended to a high altitude beyond the range of human sight in the gloomy morning light, and flew southwestward.
He had not disclosed his plans for this mission to anyone beforehand, intending to tackle the Black Blade Organization’s stronghold alone.
The plane journey was nearly five hours.
During this time, he not only healed his injuries and restored his Spiritual Energy but also slept for an hour, reviving his spirit.
After searching Huang Pao’s memories, Xu Fan had a comprehensive understanding of the current Black Blade Organization; how many people they had, their phased combat power, and their current hiding place.
The Black Blade Organization had repeatedly troubled him and harmed his friends and family numerous times, leaving Xu Fan with nothing but a desire to kill.
If it weren’t for his initially insufficient strength to wipe out this evil organization, Xu Fan would have had no choice but to bear with it stealthily, to avoid startling them prematurely.
But now, with a sudden surge in power, having absorbed and refined a substantial amount of Chaotic Heavenly Thunder Force, the strength of his Divine Sense had reached the Golden Core Stage level, significantly enhancing his combat power and granting him the ability to settle both new and old scores with the Black Blade Organization in one blow.
“`
Xu Fan knew that this trip was solely for assassination and thus didn’t tell anyone, lest he be worried and tried to be dissuaded.
Gliding through the sky, Xu Fan was faster than a fighter jet; by 7 a.m., he had arrived at the top of a mountain within the forested area of Hei Luo Stockade.
Under his Divine Sense surveillance, the vicinity was found set with more than twenty sentries and scouts, the former responsible for the perimeter vigilance and the latter tasked with reconnaissance further afield.
However, their abilities were average, merely at the Grandmaster level.
In Xu Fan’s view, they were nothing more than small fish and shrimp.
Xu Fan continued to soar above the mountain forest, his aura unrestrained.
He flew directly towards Hei Luo Stockade.
The members of the Black Blade Organization under his Divine Sense were, without exception, struck by Divine Sense attacks, collapsing silently and breathlessly to the ground.
Upon reaching the outskirts of Hei Luo Stockade, his presence was immediately detected, and an alarm was triggered inside instantaneously.
“Not good, we’re under attack; get up quickly!”
“Wooooo wooooo wooooo~”
Hei Luo Stockade came to life like boiling water, and then a large number of strong figures rushed to the stockade’s gateway, weapons in hand.
Ren Tianhei also appeared through a swift leap, standing mid-air with an imposing aura as deep as an abyss, and his body was shrouded in a swirling layer of dark energy.
Behind him emerged a group of high-ranking members of the Black Blade Organization, each with a powerful aura, ready for a standoff.
Ren Tianhei looked towards the east of the sky, his gaze dark and profound, filled with intense wariness; even he could not help but feel a strong sense of danger for no apparent reason.
As the Sect Hierarch of the Black Blade Organization, his strength on Sea Blue Star had always been among the very elite, so much so that he had forgotten what fear was.
Not even Long Guhuang could make him afraid.
His face stern, Ren Tianhei issued his command in a deep, thunderous voice to all members, “Black Demon Hall, form the Nine Heavens Demonic Firmament Formation; the rest, prepare for battle meticulously.”
Upon hearing this, eighty-one figures immediately stepped out from the crowd, each with two flags on their backs.
After gathering, they formed an array, swiftly maneuvering with their flags.
The Nine Heavens Demonic Firmament Formation was a powerful offensive formation Ren Tianhei had acquired from Ancient Ruins, requiring precisely eighty-one people to activate.
The power it could unleash was tremendously fearsome.
As for the other members, not one dared to slacken.
Many directly employed Evil Spirit Possession, entering a transformed state.
Instantly their entire beings became monstrous, savagely bloodthirsty with eyes glowing crimson.
Although the Black Blade Organization was wanted by an entire nation, its combat power remained terrifyingly potent.
Even with Long Guhuang finding their location, it would not be easy to overcome them.
However, Long Guhuang could summon the assistance of the strong from the protectors of the dragon lineage so facing Ren Tianhei alone wasn’t daunting to him.
“May I know which distinguished visitor graces us with their presence?
Please, show yourself.”
Standing proudly in the sky, Black Sky Blade was like a devilish demon, his clothes fluttering in the wind, stabilizing the followers of the Black Blade Organization.
“You wish to see me?
Very well!”
The approaching voice was indifferent, devoid of emotion.
No sooner had the voice reached their ears than a young man’s figure appeared not far ahead.
