Chapter 494 Ancestor, do you think we are 3-year-old children?
Inside the underground stone chamber, Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes.
His face was devoid of joy or sorrow, and his eyes held a deathly clarity.
"Oh……"
After a long silence, he chuckled softly, his voice carrying faintly through the golden bowl:
"Our ancestor is quite the schemer."
Upon hearing this, the patriarch of the Soul Refining Sect's eyes flashed with a blood-red light: "You agreed?"
"Agree?" Chen Fan shook his head, his voice eerily calm. "Our ancestor has lived for ten thousand years; he surely understands human nature better than we do. The Great Oath of the Heart Demon? The Soul Contract? Faced with an absolute difference in strength, do these constraints... truly have any effect?"
The ancestor remained silent.
Chen Fan continued, "After you escape, your cultivation will be fully restored, perhaps even advancing further. At that time, the backlash from the contract will probably be nothing more than a minor injury, which you can recover from in a few years. And what use will our family be to you? We'll just be a used pawn, disposable at will."
"As for resurrecting Tianxiangzi..." Chen Fan's voice finally showed a hint of unease, but it was a cold sneer. "If the Mirror of Reincarnation were truly so easy to borrow, why didn't your connections help you when your Soul Refining Sect was at its peak ten thousand years ago? The treasure of the Cultivation Alliance, jointly controlled by three Loose Immortals... You think you can borrow it based on just a few empty promises?"
"Grandpa, do you think we're three-year-old children?"
After he finished speaking, a deathly silence fell over the ruins.
The color drained from the withered face of the Soul Refining Sect patriarch, turning it an iron-blue hue.
He never expected that the old eunuch would be so meticulous, seeing through all his schemes so clearly!
"Fine...fine!" The old patriarch laughed in fury, his voice turning icy again. "Since you refuse to listen to reason and choose to suffer the consequences, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"You think you can rest easy just by repairing three nodes? I'll show you what the skills of a Nascent Soul cultivator really are!"
Before the words were even finished, a terrifying and malevolent aura suddenly erupted from within the blood-red hall!
Ignoring the backlash from the seal, the ancestor forcibly burned his own essence, gathering all the remaining blood-red threads into a thick pillar of blood-red light, which he then slammed into the ruins of the earthquake zone!
He wanted to use absolute force to forcibly destroy the newly repaired node!
however!
Just as the blood-red light was about to strike the ruins!
Chen Fan made a move!
The dust formed from the golden bowl sprang up from the ground like ghosts, not fleeing into the distance, but rushing straight towards the person closest to them in the ruins!
Young Master Wang!
"What?!" Young Master Wang was horrified, but it was too late to retreat!
Although Chen Fan did not leak any spiritual power, the golden bowl itself was incredibly fast, and it arrived in front of Young Master Wang in an instant!
A golden light emanated from the rim of the bowl, and a sudden suction force erupted!
"No!! Ancestor, save me!!" Young Master Wang screamed in terror, unleashing all his magical treasures, but they were all easily crushed by the golden light!
The next moment, he was sucked into the bowl and disappeared!
Almost simultaneously, Chen Fan manipulated the golden bowl to turn around and pounce on two Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had not yet reacted!
Those were the ancestors of the Li and Sun families, two of the eight great families!
"die!"
Chen Fan gave a low shout in his heart, and the golden light from the rim of the bowl transformed into two sharp blades that flashed past!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Two heads flew into the air, spurting blood!
The two Nascent Soul cultivators didn't even have time to scream. Their Nascent Souls were shattered by the golden light as soon as they escaped, and their souls were destroyed!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. From Chen Fan's appearance to capturing the young master and killing the two men, it was only two breaths!
"You bastard!!!"
Inside the crimson hall, the patriarch of the Soul Refining Sect unleashed a deafening roar!
He never expected that Chen Fan would not only refuse his conditions, but also dare to kill and capture people right in front of him!
This is blatant provocation!
"Old eunuch! I will tear your soul from your body and torment you for eternity!!"
The ancestor was completely enraged. The thick, blood-red light changed direction and pounced on the golden bowl like a blood-red dragon!
Chen Fan had already anticipated this. The golden bowl spun sharply in the air, narrowly avoiding the bloody light, and then transformed into a barely perceptible golden ray, disappearing into the depths of the ruins!
"Where do you think you're going!"
The ancestor roared, and the blood-red light relentlessly pursued him!
But just as the blood was about to catch up with the golden bowl!
"Buzz..."
At the site of the earthquake, the newly repaired lightning node suddenly lit up with dazzling lightning!
Countless bolts of lightning shot out from the ground like chains, weaving together a giant net that fiercely entangled the blood-red light!
"BOOM!!"
The thunder and the blood-red light collided, unleashing a deafening roar!
The entire site trembled violently, and countless ruins collapsed once again!
The blood-red light was momentarily halted by the lightning!
In that instant, the golden bowl was enough to disappear into the depths of the ruins without a trace!
"ah!!!"
Inside the crimson hall, the patriarch of the Soul Refining Sect roared to the sky, his crimson threads dancing wildly around him, tearing the four walls of the hall to shreds!
For the first time, an extremely ferocious murderous intent appeared on his withered face.
"Chen Fan... Chen Fan!! I swear, I will tear you to pieces and throw your soul into the Soul Refining Furnace to suffer the torment of soul burning for ten thousand years!!"
The roar echoed through the ruins, lingering for a long time.
And at this moment, inside the golden bowl.
Chen Fan casually tossed the unconscious Young Master Wang aside, then sat down cross-legged and slowly began to regulate his breathing.
His face was pale. Although he had not used his own spiritual power in the series of actions just now, controlling the golden bowl to capture and kill people had greatly depleted his spiritual energy.
But a calm light gleamed in his eyes.
"As expected... after repairing the third node, the ancestor's control over the ruins was greatly reduced, and even his reaction was a beat slower."
Chen Fan looked at the gradually subsiding thunder and blood light outside the bowl, and already had a plan in mind.
"Next, it's time for the fourth node."
He closed his eyes and began to focus all his efforts on recovery.
In the corner of the bowl, Young Master Wang slowly woke up. After seeing his surroundings and Chen Fan sitting cross-legged, his face turned ashen.
He knew he was finished.
……
In the world within the bowl, time quietly slips away; three days outside, a month has passed inside the bowl.
Chen Fan sat cross-legged, his spiritual energy rising and falling like the tides, eventually settling into a deep pool of calm. His cultivation at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm had been completely stabilized.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze devoid of any emotion, only a frozen stillness.
The pale and serene face of Tianxiangzi before her soul dissipated is like a brand, etched into the deepest part of my heart. Every time I recall it, it brings me a dull, agonizing pain!
His gaze fell on something not far away.
Wang Xuan, whose cultivation and movement were sealed by the restriction, lay there like a lump of mud.
This once arrogant young master of the royal family, who regarded all living beings in the sealed land as ants, now had no arrogance on his face, only endless fear and dejection.
The soul restriction planted by the patriarch of the Soul Refining Sect tormented him constantly, but his deeper fear came from the silent old eunuch before him.
Chen Fan stood up, walked to Wang Xuan, and looked down at him. He didn't say a word, but his gaze was more chilling to Wang Xuan than the blood-red threads of the Soul Refining Sect.
"You... what do you want to do?" Wang Xuan's voice was hoarse as he tried to curl up backward, but he couldn't move. "Chen Fan! I am a direct descendant of the Great Yu Cultivation Kingdom! If you dare to touch me, the Wang family will fight you to the death! There will be no place for you in the Southern Tian Region!"
