Asura Mad Emperor

"Han Jiuming and Han Shan, those two worthless beings, were killed by someone on this young master's orders. If you've come for those two wastes of space, then by all means, bring it on."

Upon hearing this, Han Feng's face turned frosty as he followed the voice.

The speaker was precisely that Meridian Opening Realm Cultivator among the congregation of saintly elders.

He stood there with his spear across his chest, looking disdainfully upon the Eight Desolates. Although he was merely a Meridian Opening Realm Cultivator, his entire being radiated an aura of invincibility.

"Hmph, where does this ant come from, daring to spout such madness here? Since when do you have the right to speak in this place?"

When Han Feng caught sight of Qinchuan, he was initially stunned. After coming to his senses, he erupted with rage. To stand at this place, one must at the very least be of the Holy's Realm. When had it ever been the turn of an ant to interject?

Although Qinchuan had mentioned Han Jiuming and Han Shan, and indeed, Han Feng's purpose here was to seek justice for the two,

how could a mere Meridian Opening Realm Cultivator like Qinchuan command a Great Saint of the Burning Heaven Sect to slay the elders and Saint Heir of the Jiuli Ghost Sect?

In his eyes, only Chi Shan was capable of authorizing such an act.

Thus, he was convinced that Qinchuan was nothing more than a scapegoat pushed forward by the Burning Heaven Sect to fool the Jiuli Ghost Sect.

Flames of rage filled Han Feng's eyes as he stared intently at Chi Shan and said, "Sect Leader, I indeed came here for my son and elder brother. They were tragically murdered in Northern Desolate City, and their corpses still contained traces of your Burning Heaven Sect's Nine Yang True Intent."

"Chi, you old ghost! Your Burning Heaven Sect has the audacity to act, but do you lack the courage to admit it? Now that it's come to this, you're actually using a youngster to take the fall! Is this really the conduct befitting of the illustrious Burning Heaven Sect, one of the four mighty powers? If word gets out, it will be the world's laughingstock. The Jiuli Ghost Sect refuses to be associated with such cowardice!"

After finishing, Han Feng looked towards Ye He and others, speaking out, "Elder Ye, your Heavenly Sword Sect is ranked alongside my Jiuli Ghost Sect and the Burning Heaven Sect. Do speak up, don't you find the Burning Heaven Sect's behavior utterly shameless?"

Ye He had been listening in for a while and had roughly figured out the situation. He thought to himself that it turned out someone from the Burning Heaven Sect had taken out Han Feng's son and brother, no wonder the man had come knocking on their door.

Immediately, he clasped his hands together and through gritted teeth said, "Sect Leader Han, this youngster Qinchuan may only have the status of a Meridian Opening Realm, but he's indeed very cunning. Even our Sword Sect's Elder Luo Hui lost his life to this boy. It's quite possible that it really was him who did for your elders and Saint Heir."

"What, you are Qinchuan!"

The moment he heard Ye He say this Meridian Opening Realm youngster was called Qinchuan, he shouted out loud. Regardless of who was responsible for the deaths of Han Jiuming and Han Shan, this so-called Qinchuan was certainly not free from blame. Seeing his foe right in front of him, his eyes turned red with eagerness to strike him down with a palm.

But when he heard from Ye He that even Luo Hui of the Heavenly Sword Sect had died at this youngster's hands, he hesitated.

Luo Hui was the Third Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect and had broken through to become a Great Saint. Even in a battle with Han Feng, at best they would come to a draw. Now Ye He was saying that Luo Hui had been killed by this Qinchuan? This was as unbelievable as a fantasy.

"Elder Ye, are you certain of this?"

"Sect Leader Han, with something so serious, how could I deceive you? If you don't believe me, ask the others."

Han Feng's gaze swept over the people from the Nine Great Clans, and the elders nodded one after another in agreement. An elder from Qianxing Sect even stepped forward to say, "This boy is truly ruthless and merciless. Our sects agreed to friendly spars, but he resorts to lethal moves the moment he strikes, using some unfathomably treacherous and cunning methods. Even the two great elders of our Qianxing Sect, Bai You and Bai Su, fell victim to this boy's schemes."

The Qianxing Sect elder, at this point, was vigorously stirring the pot and turning the blame back on Qinchuan.

Qinchuan stood unmoved to one side, looking disdainfully at Qianxing Sect and the other elders, scoffing, "You seem to think too highly of yourselves. Why would I need to stoop to underhanded tricks for the likes of you, a bunch of chickens and dogs?"

The Qianxing Sect elder seethed with anger, but remembering the efficiency of Qinchuan's methods and how even Luo Hui had died by his hand, he snorted angrily and dared not speak further.

With the corroboration of over twenty elders from the Nine Great Clans, Han Feng had no more doubts. His eyes narrowed to slits as he stared unblinkingly at Qinchuan, as if trying to see exactly what this Meridian Opening Realm youngster was capable of, to even be able to kill Luo Hui?

It was at this point that Chi Shan, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke with a quiet voice, "Han Jiuming and Han Shan committed an unforgivable offense against our Burning Heaven Sect's Supreme Elder. They were executed by my own hands."

"What?"

"Chi Shan, you are pushing me too far—"

Ever since the death of the Great Elder in the Burning Heaven Sect, that position had been vacant for thousands of years. No recent news had suggested that the Burning Heaven Sect had appointed a new Great Elder, so Chi Shan's remark, while factual, was.

But to the ears of Han Feng, it was a blatant provocation.

It meant, "Not only do we, the Burning Heaven Sect, intend to kill your elder from the Jiuli Ghost Sect, we'll also fabricate some trumped-up charge to blame you after the fact."

Without a Great Elder in their Sect, how could Han Jiuming and Han Shan offend some non-existent person from the Burning Heaven Sect?

The anger that had already been burning within him suddenly flared up, his blood surged to his head, and he lost all reason in an instant, regardless of the truth, he roared in fury.

"Chi Shan, you provoke my Jiuli Ghost Sect time and time again. Do you really think my Sect is so easy to bully!"

"The Burning Heaven Sect killed my Sect's elder and insulted the dignity of the Ghost Sect. Elders, heed my command—kill!"

"Kill!"

The ten great elders behind Han Feng shouted in unison, their voices carrying the Great Dao Principles that thundered to the skies, deafening to hear.

Following this, the ten elders' figures shifted again, forming a colossal formation.

"Rise!"

Then, within a ten-zhang radius of the formation formed by ten people, black Qi began to emerge from the ground incessantly.

The Qi that gushed from beneath the earth seemed to come from the Jiuyou Purgatory, capable of corroding anything it touched.

The ghastly Qi from Jiuyou instantly condensed in the void into a colossal hand, its fingertips glowing with a netherworldly green light, fiercely pressing down toward Chi Shan and Qinchuan.

"Elders, the Jiuli Ghost Sect insulted our Great Elder first and dishonored our Sect afterward. What should we do?"@@novelbin@@

Chi Shan stood suspended in midair, eyes wide and beard bristling, and he shouted in rage.

Qinchuan's performance in the Dao arena had already won over the elders of the Burning Heaven Sect, and the elders shouted with one voice, "Die! Die! Die!"

Their voices thundered through the heavens, shaking mountains and rivers, with the might to split earth and shatter mountains, their momentum even surpassing that of the Jiuli Ghost Sect's members.

More than twenty elders swiftly formed a peerless great formation.

With seal gestures in their hands, a multitude of Great Dao Principles burst forth, and soon after, a resplendent golden wheel emerged, glittering brightly.

"The Fusang Golden Wheel Formation!"

From afar, the Nine Great Clans exclaimed in unison, and even the cloaked elder's face changed, for the Fusang Golden Wheel Formation was too well-known—it was the Burning Heaven Sect's Mountain Protection Array.

The Fusang Golden Wheel Formation required a minimum of twelve cultivators and a maximum of twenty-four at the Holy's Realm to set it up. The more people and the higher their realm, the greater the power of the formation.

Once activated, the formation could move mountains and stir seas, burn the heavens and split the earth, and it could even disturb the thunder and lightning of the Nine Heavens and grasp the stars beyond.

Legends tell that tens of thousands of years ago, twenty-four Supreme Saints of the Burning Heaven Sect combined their power to set up this formation and killed a Quasi-Emperor who dared to provoke them, a feat truly terrifying.

His aim in assembling the elders of the Nine Great Clans was to tie down the elders within the Burning Heaven Sect, ensuring that no one inside would be able to deploy this formation when the time came to attack the mountain.

Unexpectedly, the Jiuli Ghost Sect struck first, forcing the elders of the Burning Heaven Sect to set up this formation.
