Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1049 - Scarlet Moon Hall

After Qin Yao was taken, Chen Fan remained in the Ji Clan for a month to heal his injuries.

During that month, he often kept Qin Changkong and Ji Lingyu company, helping them slowly come to terms with Qin Yao's absence.

As for the Ji Clan, they publicly claimed that Qin Yao had suffered backlash while climbing the phoenix stairs and died in the ancestral grounds, avoiding any mention of the real events to avoid wild speculations.

The truth was hidden because the Patrol Envoy’s attack on Ji Huang and the forced abduction of Qin Yao was a huge shame for the clan.

But against absolute strength, they were powerless.

“Uncle Qin, Auntie, take care of yourselves, and don’t worry. I will bring Senior Sister back in the future. Definitely!” Chen Fan told Qin Changkong and Ji Lingyu.

It wasn’t just a reassurance to them; it was an oath to himself.

After leaving the Ji Clan, Chen Fan went back to the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation.

Having quelled the internal disorder, although the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation was weakened, their foundation was still intact, so they recovered their prosperity.

Chen Fan spent three days with Zhuge Qingfeng before bidding him farewell and heading towards the eastern continent.

......

In the vast wilderness ahead lay a sprawling, rugged mountain range

Chen Fan streaked through the mountains like a blur, moving at an extremely fast speed. It would still take ten days to half a month — the land was simply too vast

A ten-thousand-foot-tall mountain peak appeared in his sight. It pierced through the sea of clouds, spanning hundreds of kilometers.

Chen Fan’s mind flicked through the mental map as he approached the towering Colossal Clouds Heavenly Peak, a faint smile curling his lips.

“That is the Colossal Clouds Heavenly Peak, a key landmark between the central and eastern continents. Just two hundred thousand kilometers more... True Martial Academy, I’m back!”

After leaving the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation, he had headed east all the way. He had already been on the road for close to half a month, looking travel-worn.

Suddenly, Chen Fan slightly raised his gaze, looking at the top of the Colossal Clouds Heavenly Peak.

Even the mountain’s waist was cloaked in thick clouds, but that wasn’t what caught his attention.

“Who is it?”

Chen Fan sensed cold killing intent that penetrated right into his heart and soul. Had it not been for that killing intent, he might not have noticed anyone there at all.

Given his current strength, to be able to make him feel threatened, the other party had to be a Lesser Peak Manifestation realm top expert at the very least.

However, Chen Fan quickly sensed that the other party was in the Greater Peak Manifestation realm. Their aura was no weaker than top-tier Greater Peak Manifestation realm experts like Ji Mo and Ji Yang.

Before Chen Fan could ask anything, a terrifying red light ripped through the clouds. It blazed like a blood-colored sun, piercing through the void with the speed of a shooting star.

A cold, gloomy aura enveloped the area, carrying a sharp whistling sound as it blasted toward him.

Boom!

Chen Fan’s expression changed, feeling a strong sense of danger from this attack.

“So strong!” Chen Fan narrowed his gaze as he quickly punched.

Rumble!

The two terrifying attacks collided in the air and led to an explosion, generating a destructive shockwave that swept out in all directions and flattened the surrounding mountain peaks.

But before Chen Fan could even catch his breath, another extremely dangerous aura appeared behind him.

Chen Fan’s expression changed, sensing another Greater Peak Manifestation realm aura behind him.

He immediately turned around and slashed out violently.

The shocking sword qi swept through space, tearing everything apart. It destroyed that terrifying attack, but he was pushed back from the shock as well, letting out a low groan.

Rumble!

Before he could steady himself, two blood-colored light disks screamed toward him from the left and right, cutting through space with the force to obliterate everything in their path.

His face kept changing. With a sudden dip, he plunged downward, narrowly slipping past the deadly blades.

Yet before he could draw a breath, a terrifying palm seal blasted down from above.

“Break!” Chen Fan shouted furiously and sent out a palm strike, shattering the oncoming palm seal and sending the assailant flying.

But as the dust cleared, realization struck him: he was surrounded.

Two Greater Peak Manifestation realm top experts blocked his front and back. To his left, right, and above stood three Lesser Peak Manifestation realm experts.

Five peerless experts had laid down an inescapable net of heaven and earth here to surround and kill him. The attackers had gone to great lengths to ensure his doom.

In an instant, streaks of light flashed across Chen Fan’s mind.

Is it the Sun Moon Divine Sect?

“Chen Fan, you shall be buried here today!” A chilling voice echoed from the mountain’s peak. A figure leaped down, soaring towards him with overwhelming momentum.

The other four people also simultaneously tightened the encirclement. Their terrifying auras intertwined with one another, forming a huge net that shrouded Chen Fan.

Seeing such a terrifying line-up, Chen Fan knew that it would be useless to panic. With a calm expression, he asked coldly, “Who are you people?”

“Hoho, of course, we are the ones who will kill you!”

Chen Fan’s gaze flicked across the formation. The faint glint of crimson embroidery on their robes caught his attention.

Seeing the blood-colored moon pattern, Chen Fan immediately guessed the identities of those five people. freēnovelkiss.com

“You people are from the Scarlet Moon Hall!”

The Blood Heavenly Demon Sect had nine palace halls, thirty-six halls, and a hundred and eight branches. The Scarlet Moon Hall was one of the thirty-six halls, and it ranked within the top ten halls, boasting tremendous strength.

Chen Fan's gaze hardened as the realization sank in. Even after being crushed time and time again, they still clung to life like a venomous centipede, refusing to die.

The leader smiled coldly and said, “You’re quite knowledgeable to recognize our identities. Unfortunately, recognizing us won’t save you. You will surely die today!”

“The Blood Heavenly Demon Sect is really like a cockroach. First, it was the Blood Demon Cave, and now it’s the Scarlet Moon Hall. Two Greater Peak Manifestation realms and three Lesser Peak Manifestation realms... Seems like you hold me in very high regard.”

The leader laughed and said coldly, “Hoho, Chen Fan, no need to be modest. Your great name has long since spread throughout the Tianwu Continent. If we’re not cautious, killing you wouldn’t be so simple.”

Sending such a grand line-up to besiege a seventh-level Manifestation realm martial artist? If word got out, it would be seen as overkill, a ridiculous show of force.

However, the one they were trying to kill now was Chen Fan, a monster who could fight above his level. If they had sent one or two Peak Manifestation experts, failure was almost certain.
