Rebirth Of The Urban Immortal Cultivator (Web Novel)

Chapter 923 The Heavenly Lord Families GatheredThe news about Chen Fan’s appearance outside Medicine City had circulated around the Beihuang Region.

Meanwhile, everywhere was weirdly peaceful. Although Chen Fan had become famous across the Heavenly Regions after the battle at Linjiang City, everyone knew that the Heavenly Lord Families wouldn’t just let him get away with it.

“The Heavenly Lord Families wanted to take away Chen Beixuan’s title of Elixir Monarch and lock him up so he would make pills for all the families, but they didn’t know he would be so powerful. Even in the entire Beihuang Region, only a few people can fight with him. Their plan has failed,” someone said.

“Not necessarily. The power of the Heavenly Lord Families is way beyond our imagination. They have a history of thousands of years and we have no idea how many terrifying forces they have. Hu Xiao, Feng Yuqiu and Ancestral Patriarchs like Wu Wendin are part of them. Who knows how many more of these cultivators they’re hiding?”

Another old man shook his head.

The young cultivators were completely in awe of Chen Fan’s power and they regarded him as the strongest cultivator among the younger generation.

But the older generation was worried.

The Heavenly Lord Families had ruled over the Beihuang Region for countless years. Those super families like the Hu family and the Feng family weren’t just good at making pills like the Alchemy Guild. They had certain battling power and resources, which were strong enough to shake the entire Beihuang Region.

“The fact that Chen Beixuan defeated Wang Xuanlong and the others isn’t really that impressive.

“The elites of the Longevity Roll can’t represent the most powerful Overlords. Only those under five hundred years old can be listed, but the level and Divine Powers of all cultivators keep increasing as they grow older. So, how powerful would the Golden Core Ancestral Patriarchs, who have lived two thousand years, be? Nobody’s sure about that.”

“Chen Beixuan is being too reckless.”

Many people sighed.

In fact, a crisis soon arrived.

On the fourth day Chen Fan arrived at Medicine City.

Even though the entire Medicine City was still closed off, the mountain outside the city was flooded with people. Countless cultivators came from all around the Beihuang Region.

Some went to ask to become his disciples, some only went to see him and other wanted him to make medicines for them.

But whatever they wanted, they all claimed that they were the disciples of some Ancestral Patriarchs or that their parents were the elders of a Heavenly Sect so they weren’t afraid of the Heavenly Lord Families at all. As long as Chen Fan promised to make medicines for them, they could protect him.

While Lin Wuhua was about to mock those bluffing cultivators.

“Boom!”

A beam of purple light struck down from the sky.

A claw as large as a mountain went towards Chen Fan. It was covered with scales and looked like a real claw. Countless cultivators were terrified.

This attack had apparently been made by an Overlord of the Longevity Roll who was as powerful as Wang Xuanlong and Lichen.

“Who’s that?”

Zhao Juexian widened his eyes and the thousand-foot python flew from his back towards the giant hand.

When Zhao Juexian was about to attack, a ray of black light was shot three feet away from Chen Fan. Nobody had expected it to appear behind Chen Fan all of a sudden.

Not even Zhao Juexian noticed it, as if it had come from another world.

“Boom!”

After the black light appeared, a terrifying energy filled the world. Everyone felt like they had returned to the battle at Linjiang when the “Dragon’s Bane” had been awakened.

“A Quasi-Heavenly Treasure?”

Zhao Juexian turned around in shock.

Such a power was comparable to the attack of Long Hua and Lichen. It was apparently another cultivator on the Longevity Roll who had a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure.

“Go to hell!”

A skinny old man in a black outfit showed up. The beam of black light in his hand was only a foot long, but it was shining brightly and could tear the sky apart.

The old man smirked and attacked Chen Fan.

He was too fast and no one could respond in time. The Divine Souls of the Wu family sisters, the three girls and Situ Cheng were frozen before they could even turn around. Only Zhao Juexian noticed him, but it was too late. The black light in the old man’s hand was only a few inches away from Chen Fan’s back.

“You killed my descendants. I’m going to take your life to avenge them.”

The black light was getting closer.

Three inches, two inches, one inch. It was about to penetrate Chen Fan’s body.

While the old man opened his eyes wide and his mind was full of viciousness—

Suddenly.

A crystal clear hand appeared behind Chen Fan and two of its fingers pinched the black light gently so it couldn’t go further.

“What?”

The old man looked up.

He found that Chen Fan had already turned around and was looking at him indifferently.

“Who are you? Why are you attacking me?”

Bang!

The skinny old man tried to escape, but Chen Fan’s fingers held the black light tightly. In the end, a dagger made of iron which looked like a snake appeared.

“How is that possible? The God-killing Thorn is one of our Quasi-Heavenly Treasures. It was used to injure a Heavenly Lord and is extremely sharp. Ordinary people can already tear the sky apart using it. How can this man grab the God-killing Thorn with his bare hand?”

The old man’s eyes popped out.

“Answer me!”

Chen Fan shot out beams of light from his eyes.

“Ask that again in hell!”

The old man cracked a smile and released the God-killing Thorn. He then turned into a black whirlwind and disappeared.

Chen Fan grunted, then clenched his fist and threw a punch.

“Boom!”

The Fist Qi flashed across the sky and someone suddenly appeared a thousand feet away. It was the skinny old man who was wearing a black outfit. And yet, he was completely frightened right then.

At this moment.

Everyone saw.

There was a giant hole on his chest, which had apparently been caused by Chen Fan’s Fist Qi.

“Chen Beixuan, what a punch!”

The old man smiled wryly and his entire Divine Body exploded. His Golden Core and Divine Soul were both destroyed and the black hand was already gone.

Chen Fan lowered his fist expressionlessly.

The Wu family’s sisters then reacted.

“Senior Chen, are you all right?”

Mu Hongti and the other two girls quickly checked on Chen Fan. Chen Fan shook his head and told them he was fine. After a while, Wu Baisu approached him.

“Do you know who that was?” Chen Fan asked.

“It was Feng Qianjue from the Feng family. He’s a cultivator of the same generation as my Ancestral Patriarch and is known for his assassination arts. I heard he had even tried to kill Heavenly Lord Astral Sea, but Heavenly Lord Astral Sea let him go in the end. Feng Qianjue should be the grandpa of the Feng family’s leader, but rumor has it that he’s been dead for seven centuries. I can’t believe he’s still alive.”

Wu Baisu said seriously, “As for the one who attacked first, he didn’t show up so I’m not quite sure. However, the cultivation art he used is definitely the Nine Illusions of Heavenly Fox of the Hu family, but he doesn’t seem like their leader.”

Zhao Juexian and Wu Qinyan became serious.

A top cultivator, who had been dead for seven centuries, came back to kill Chen Fan and the one who covered for him was probably an Overlord of the Hu family.

The two of them were as strong as the elites on the Longevity Roll, but people thought only the leaders of the Hu and Feng families had reached such a level. Everyone knew what this meant.

“Looks like we’ve underestimated the power of the Heavenly Lord Families. They might have tons of people like Feng Qianjue.”

Zhao Juexian lowered his head.

Situ Cheng stood next to them and sneered.

“What should we do now, your Majesty? Should I ask my Ancestral Patriarch to come to protect you?” Wu Qinyan said anxiously.

Wu Baisu frowned, but didn’t say anything.

Those two cultivators seemed to have shown up to gauge how powerful Chen Fan was.

When the Heavenly Lord Families truly attacked, they would kill everyone on sight. Although Chen Fan had killed Feng Qianjue, how many Heavenly Lord Families could he fight at the same time?

“No, I’m not that close with the Wu family. Wu Wendin wouldn’t want to be the enemy of all the families in the Beihuang Region because of an alchemist.”

Chen Fan shook his head and sat down calmly. “You should also go back to take cover with the Wu family. They won’t hold back next time and you’ll probably be harmed as well.”

Everyone went silent. Wu Qinyan wanted to say something, but Wu Baisu stopped her and nodded to Chen Fan.

“All right, please stay safe, your Majesty.”

Then, she bowed to Chen Fan and took Wu Qinyan away. The other cultivators, who went there to meet Chen Fan, also left.

After a while.

Situ Cheng, Zhao Juexian, Lin Wuhua and the girls were the only ones left on the mountain.

“How can they do that? We agreed that we had to stay by Senior Chen’s side.” Yun Yier stomped her foot.

“They are only people who bend with the wind. When the Heavenly Lord Families get more serious, who would dare to stay?” Lin Wuhua grunted and looked at Chen Fan with a worried face.

“Senior Chen, what should we do next? Should we hide for a while?”

Mu Hongti and Zhao Juexian also looked at Chen Fan with a worried face.

“No!”

Chen Fan continued making pills.

Ten days, twenty days, thirty days later…

Ever since the last attack, many nameless Overlords made an appearance, but they weren’t there to kill someone. It seemed as if they had gone there to show off. As the attacks got more frequent, Zhao Juexian and the others also became more anxious.

Each of those Overlords were as powerful as Wang Xuanlong, but all of them had completely different kinds of energy.

Up until then, more than ten Overlords of the Longevity Roll Level showed up, but nobody had heard about them before.

“The Heavenly Lord Families are too terrifying.”

Countless people were startled.

Mu Hongti and the others also looked anxious. Although Situ Cheng was lowering his head respectfully, he was smiling deep down.

A month later, the Treasure Cauldron of a Hundred Medicines became three hundred feet tall and the Heavenly Pills inside had had thirteen transformations. While they were about to be completed…

“Boom!”

An unimaginable energy fell from the sky and shattered the mountains. The storm was raging as if the apocalypse had begun. This was beyond ten times more powerful than the time when Feng Qianjue attacked.

A group of people appeared.

All of them were glittering while showing indifferent expressions. Their energy, which was comparable to that of the elites of the Longevity Roll, swept the world. There were twenty Overlords, which completely frightened people. Their leader then started talking.

“Seven families, including the Hu family, the Feng family and the Nin family, are here to see Elixir Monarch Chen.”
