Rebirth Of The Urban Immortal Cultivator

Chapter 1071: The Enemy

"The Dark Races weren't the only ones who attacked the North Qiong Sect!" What A'Xiu said astonished everyone else.

Even Tang Yifei and Chu Minhui widened their eyes. That was completely different according to the information they had received. According to A'Xiu, six years before, the world had just started changing and the Spirit Qi had just been restored.

All the members of the North Qiong Sect and the Deities in the Realm of Kunxu felt something was wrong.

In the end, Chen Huaian predicted with the "Thunder Soul Refinement Art" that the world was going to change and great danger was on its way, so he sent most members of the Chen family and ordinary people like Fang Qiong's parents to the Realm of Kunxu, where they would be guarded by Lu Yanxue. They thought the cultivators of the alien races like the Mayans might visit Earth, traveling all the way from their home planets through the Path of Heaven.

Chen Huaian, Fang Qiong and A'Xiu had already prepared for it.

If they couldn't defeat the enemies, they would immediately escape to the Realm of Kunxu and block the Mayan fleet with the ancient array there. However, all of them suddenly disappeared.

That is, including Chen Huaian, Fang Qiong, Chen Fan's parents, Yukishiro Sa, Hua Yunfeng, Xie Yan, Yu Wenjin…

All of them disappeared from the face of the Earth all of a sudden. Not even spy satellites or specialized cameras were able to find them.

"We wondered if the Overlords of the alien races came from their home planets and took them away, but it doesn't seem possible after thinking it through. The array didn't even give us a warning back then. That was the array you formed. No Golden Core Cultivator could attack it," A'Xiu said and she was still in shock.

According to her, she was the only one who made it to the Realm of Kunxu, so she stayed there and refused to see other people who were related to Chen Fan. At the same time, many people, like Ye Qincang and top Overlords of the large sects, also went missing.

"It happened on December 31st, 2020." A'Xiu said.

"Master Cangqin…"

Chen Fan lowered his head in shock.

December 31st, 2020.

It was the time when he got drunk and fell from a building. That night, he and Fang Qiong were taken away by Master Cangqin and they were gone for five centuries.

Chen Fan could understand why Ye Qincang, Hua Yunfeng and Xie Yan were taken away.

Every time Master Cangqin went to a planet, he would select many talented cultivators as a backup for the True Martial Celestial Sect. Even Chen Fan spoke highly of Ye Qincang's talent and thought he would be able to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator or even a Soul Formation Cultivator if he went to the Star Ocean.

However, Chen Fan's parents, Sister An and Xu Rongfei didn't have any cultivation talent at all. Why did he take them away?

A thought came to Chen Fan's mind, "Wait, is it because they practice the cultivation arts of the True Martial Celestial Sect?"

Xu Rongfei, Sister An, Wang Xiaoyun and Chen Gexin might not be talented, but they practiced the real "True Martial Divine Art," the core cultivation art of the True Martial Celestial Sect. So, it also made sense if Master Cangqin decided to take them too.

After thinking of this, Chen Fan was relieved.

Aside from other sects, the True Martial Celestial Sect was too large, so there were disciples or Grand Cultivators dying and reincarnating from time to time.

So, whenever they saw other cultivators practicing their own cultivation arts, they wouldn't kill them right away. They would try to trace the origin and see if they had been passed down by their own Grand Cultivators. If they didn't find Chen Fan, they would never do anything to Xu Rongfei, Sister An and the others. Otherwise, if Chen Fan really was a Grand Cultivator of their own, they would definitely be punished.

But Sister An and the others would still be watched closely in the True Martial Celestial Sect.

"Phew, that's great. They'll never do anything to my parents as long as I hide my identity. Besides, Xiao Qiong has become one of them and is an important disciple. She'll be able to protect them." Chen Fan took a deep breath.

"After that?" Chen Fan asked.

"Then, we started looking for everyone, but found nothing. Until one day, the Dark Races ambushed us. Later on, the Ancestral Patriarch of the Kindred put a curse on me since I killed several Connate Cultivators of the alien races. Then I ran back to the North Qiong Sect, but it had already collapsed. Countless disciples were killed… The entire East Mountain and the North Qiong Pavilion were destroyed…" A'Xiu said with hatred in her eyes; there was a hint of fear only Chen Fan was able to notice.

"Apart from the Dark Races, there were many mysterious human cultivators among those who attacked East Mountain.

"They were all very powerful and there were even a few Golden Core Cultivators among them. If it wasn't for them, the array on East Mountain wouldn't have been destroyed. I quickly took Chen Yaoyao and escaped to Jiang Bei when one of them hurt me. I've been investigating all these years and have confirmed the identity of the Dark Races, but I still know nothing about those human cultivators."

"Huh? Could they be Overlords from other countries or forces like the Christian Church and Dragon Tiger Mountain?"

Tang Yifei covered her mouth.

It was too earth-shattering. That was like a battle between humans. If the news was spread, the entire world would be stunned.

"That's impossible. There weren't many Connate Cultivators on Earth back then, but those humans were all Golden Core Cultivators. Their energy was unpredictable and their clothes were totally different from those on Earth. They seemed to be from other planets." A'Xiu shook her head.

"Was it the Taichu Temple…?" Chu Minhui said.

Everyone was startled.

The Taichu Temple, the Wuji Arena, the Sun Palace and the Xuankong Sect appeared out of nowhere and they were all powerful. Not even the superpowers dared to provoke them. If they had something to do with this, it would be difficult for the North Qiong Sect to settle the scores.

A'Xiu also hesitated.

"I'll know after I visit all those sects," Chen Fan said calmly.

He clearly knew that disciples of many large sects in the Star Ocean had already gone to Earth. Whoever controlled the Taichu Temple, the Wuji Arena and the others were definitely related to those large sects.

And yet, even Chen Fan wasn't sure where those Divine Princes were.

Once they entered the Solar System, there was no sign of them anymore, but Chen Fan believed that they would certainly show up after he crushed the Taichu Temple and the Wuji Arena.

"No, Perfected Cultivator Chen. You've just returned to Earth. You have no idea about the situation here right now…" Tang Yifei and Chu Minhui immediately said.

"I've already made a decision. You don't have to say anything else. Just go," Chen Fan said.

The two of them wanted to try to convince him again, but thought otherwise after seeing his cold face; they finally got up and left.

Once they stepped out of the building—

Chu Minhui whispered, "Hatred has gotten into Perfected Cultivator Chen's head. He has no idea how terrifying sects like the Taichu Temple and the Dark Races are. Earth isn't the same anymore. The superpowers aren't the ones who dominate the planet. Those alien races would even kill the President of the United States and the Prime Ministers in Europe, and they see the superpowers as their pawns."

Tang Yifei also said anxiously, "Let's go. We won't be able to convince him. Only my father or Azure Dragon can reach him. Besides, Perfected Cultivator Chen knows what he's doing. He'll definitely not act rashly."

When the two of them left and Chen Yaoyao stepped away to make some tea, Chen Fan shot out a beam of azure light that enveloped the entire building. "A'Xiu, you seemed to be hiding something just then. Now that everyone's gone, talk to me."

A'Xiu hesitated and finally said, "Master, I lied to you. In fact, I got the curse after I returned to the North Qiong Sect."

"Huh?" Chen Fan gazed at the air.

"When I rushed back to the North Qiong Sect, I didn't only see the Dark Races and the cultivators from other planets. Their leader was a man who stood there like the sun in the sky and had boundless energy. He discovered and injured me with just a glance. All the cultivation arts you taught me and the power of the Golden Core Level… none of it was enough to resist him… After that, the Ancestral Patriarch of the Kindred took the opportunity to put the curse on me," A'Xiu said with fear in her eyes.

"That man is too powerful. He's even a thousand times stronger than Chen Huaian. I would still feel weak in front of him, even though I've gone through the Thunder Tribulation. I think he's not a Golden Core Cultivator, but a Nascent Soul Cultivator like the ones you talked about!"

A'Xiu was trembling.

A Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord!

An inferior-grade Golden Core Cultivator was already invincible on Earth, so how terrifying would a Nascent Soul Cultivator be? That was even the time when the world hadn't changed.

"Do you know where he came from?" Chen Fan said coldly.

"No, I was injured by him after watching outside for a while. Before I escaped, I heard people call him 'Divine General' and they said he came from 'Apollo Palace' to look for cultivation arts which could present opportunities for a Divine Prince. That's why they attacked the North Qiong Sect, but they didn't find anything," A'Xiu said.

She grabbed Chen Fan's hands and begged, "Master, don't even think about taking revenge. That Divine General is a Nascent Soul Cultivator and he has the support of a powerful Divine Prince or even a sect. He crushed the North Qiong Sect only to find an opportunity. We can't fight against him. Our disciples wouldn't want you to be in danger, either. You're the last hope of the North Qiong Sect. If you die, the sect will truly be gone."

Tears ran over her pretty face.

Chen Fan looked at her eyes and saw that her hatred of those cultivators had gone beyond his. After all, she was the one who stayed in the North Qiong Sect with the disciples. And yet, she was willing to let things go for Chen Fan's safety.

Chen Fan caressed the girl's head and said, "Don't worry, kid. I'm much more powerful than you think I am, even stronger than those Divine Princes and the Divine General." He slowly looked up when A'Xiu became calm.

"Haha, Apollo Palace? The name sounds powerful."

Chen Fan had heard of this name from Lord Dragon, Luo Changshen, Lin He and all the disciples from the Star Ocean he had met before.

Apollo Palace.

The top sect among the planet regions in the Little South Heavenly Realm!
