"Your Excellency, as the lord of a city, for what reason do you indiscriminately slaughter the Supremes of my White Emperor Mountain?"
"..."
White Emperor Mountain was utterly silent.
The words of the Blade Sovereign also conveyed a signal.
Chen Fan, the City Lord of Sword City, had killed the Supremes of White Emperor Mountain.
Five Supremes had vanished.
This meant Chen Fan had killed five White Emperor Mountain Supremes.
Instantly, all the Supremes belonging to White Emperor Mountain were enraged.
"Chen Fan."
A white-haired Supreme roared, "You dare to challenge the majesty of White Emperor Mountain, you are courting death."
"We will raze Sword City to the ground as a warning..."
"Come out, this Supreme will flay you alive."
"..."
Shouts of anger continued to erupt.
They were truly furious.
What kind of place was White Emperor Mountain? In the Immortal Realm, it was a sacred land.
To dare challenge the majesty of a sacred land was to court death.
"Come out, I, Di Zun Xiliu, challenge you to a battle to the death..." the white-haired Supreme was still roaring.
His voice boomed, and the entire Western Continent could hear the white-haired Supreme's challenge to the City Lord of Sword City.
...
At the foot of White Emperor Mountain, in a hidden corner.
"He's challenging you," Kuang Di said with a gloating expression.
"Oh."
Chen Fan's tone was very calm.
He looked up, his expression unreadable.
He withdrew his gaze and looked towards the mansion ahead.
Within that mansion, powerful, singular Supreme aura surged.
"A second-tier Supreme," Chen Fan smacked his lips.
Killing him would be easy.
But at this moment, all the Supremes of White Emperor Mountain were erupting with aura.
If he made a move, he would undoubtedly alert everyone.
What to choose?
Kuang Di beside him offered no opinion.
He would do as the City Lord commanded.
"Forget it, let's rest for a while," Chen Fan finally decided to continue hiding.
Wait a moment.
Someone else hadn't arrived yet.
The battle of Chu Lao Mo was causing a great commotion, even White Emperor Mountain could feel the tremors.
However, there was no rush, and no one perceived anything amiss.
A normal competition, no one would think too much of it.
The Supremes guarding the Imperial Palace around White Emperor Mountain waited, but ultimately... Chen Fan did not appear.
"He's gone?"
Everyone hesitated.
The Blade Sovereign thought the same. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Be careful, guard against a sneak attack. Jin Tian, take a few people to Sword City. If Chen Fan isn't there, annihilate Sword City."
A threat to the city.
This statement was not concealed.
"Yes."
Jin Tian stepped out.
He was a top-tier second-tier Supreme, with the potential to reach the third tier.
Jin Tian stepped out, quickly selected four people, and they disappeared into the sky like streaks of light.
The remaining dozen or so Supremes swept their divine senses across every inch of White Emperor Mountain. Any disturbance would be met with a thunderous blow.
"What should we do?"
Kuang Di sought the City Lord's opinion.
"What's the hurry?"
Chen Fan remained calm.
"???" Kuang Di.
What did that mean?
He was aware of Sword City's situation, it was completely empty.
The second-tier Supreme Jin Tian could annihilate Sword City with ease.
Yet Chen Fan remained unfazed, seemingly unconcerned.
This, in turn, made Kuang Di bewildered.
Why?
Was he going to abandon Sword City?
"No."
Kuang Di shook his head.
He knew Chen Fan's character; he would never abandon Sword City.
"Does he have a backup plan?" he could only guess.
Chen Fan glanced at Kuang Di and smiled, "Wait until they're further away, then we'll pursue them. Remember... instant kill."
Upon hearing this, Kuang Di immediately understood.
He remembered that the City Lord could teleport.
How powerful was the teleportation of a third-tier Supreme?
Kuang Di was relieved.
...
"Whoosh."
Five figures rapidly sliced through the sky.
Sword City was on the verge of destruction.
Jin Tian, as the leader, said, "When I say kill, everyone attacks simultaneously and instantly slaughters Sword City."
"Yes."
Their killing intent was astonishing.
At the same time, Chen Fan, who had been hiding, finally stood up. "That's about it."
Kuang Di rose with him.
He said nothing, but his expression became solemn.
"You go into the Samsara Realm first."
Chen Fan instructed, "Gather all the Half-Emperors. When the Imperial Palace opens, have everyone blast outwards. Remember, give it your all."
"Yes."
A deadly trap.
Kuang Di immediately returned to the Imperial Palace.
The Samsara Realm, surrounded by vast stars, exuded a vibrant vitality.
This was because it was a newly formed world, with opposing forces encircling it. Blades of grass took root in the earth, and dense spiritual energy was like a vast network interwoven within the world, circulating endlessly.
Kuang Di returned and directly vibrated the Great Dao.
"All Half-Emperors, awaken."
The Great Dao roared, alarming the stars, and pairs of long-dormant eyes looked over.
The sun and moon appeared in the sky simultaneously.
Currently, in the Samsara Realm, besides the Overlord's physical star and Kuang Di's destruction star, the sun and moon were the strongest.
Within the sun and moon, Zhao Kai and Tian Wen opened their eyes. "What is it?"
The two of them now commanded undeniable respect.
Samsara and Vitality Qi permeated the entire Samsara Realm.
Like rulers.
Even Kuang Di could not disregard the two of them and directly stated, "The City Lord has ordered all Half-Emperors to gather. Shortly, the Imperial Palace will open for a fleeting moment. When it opens, everyone will attack with all their might and blast outwards."
Within the Samsara Realm, no one could ignore Chen Fan's orders.
The crescent moon spoke, solemnly saying, "Zhao Kai accepts the order."
Zhao Kai was no longer the pitiable figure struggling for the Mingyue Pavilion.
For the City Lord who gave him new life, he would execute any order without hesitation.
Tian Wen felt the same.
"Tian Wen accepts the order."
In the distance, from a star, a voice responded, "Lu Feng accepts the order."
"Xi Qiu accepts the order."
"Huo Xing accepts the order."
Dozens of stars responded, dozens of Half-Emperors.
This was the foundation of the Samsara Realm now.
"Good."
Kuang Di nodded and said no more.
He would also be among those attacking.
Everyone stopped cultivating and began to wait for the fleeting moment when the Samsara Realm would open...
...
On the other side.
Chen Fan stepped out, and star rivers flowed beneath his feet.
At the foot of White Emperor Mountain, the floating Blade Sovereign instantly sensed a fleeting aura.
"Caught you."
Clang.
Blade light flashed ferociously, disappearing in an instant.
That fleeting aura wanted to leave.
Heh, how could that be possible?
"City Lord Chen."
As the blade light flickered, the Blade Sovereign's voice boomed, "Since you're here, don't be in such a hurry to leave. My White Emperor Palace is always hospitable, won't you stay for a cup of tea?"
Clang.
The blade light retracted.
Chen Fan's voice returned, "Thank you for your kind offer, Blade Sovereign. This City Lord has matters to attend to and will be back shortly."
As the words fell, his aura had already vanished.
The Blade Sovereign gave a soft exclamation, "What speed..."
He was indeed surprised.
In an instant, Chen Fan's aura had disappeared.
He had never seen anyone move with such speed.
"No."
Soon, the Blade Sovereign reacted, "It's not speed... it's teleportation?"
Divine light shone from his eyes.
That's right.
It must be teleportation.
Otherwise, such speed would be impossible.
It was a spatial leap, the Great Dao touching upon space.
Just as he thought this, the Blade Sovereign's expression changed drastically. "Not good, he's going to kill Jin Tian."
