Chapter 928: Three Sect Upheaval

And just as Lin Feng and his companions rushed toward the Central Region, over at Starfall Pavilion a mobilization was underway.

However, at this moment, Starfall Pavilion was not only filled with its headquarters troops.

There were also several teams composed of women, along with some strong individuals exuding a strong, bloody scent.

Anyone with broader experience present could immediately recognize that these people belonged to the Flower Sect and the Heavenly Nether Sect.

Now, Starfall Pavilion, the Flower Sect, and the Heavenly Nether Sect—these three top‑tier forces of the Central Continent—have, for unknown reasons, suddenly gathered together.

It's hard to imagine what terrifying energy would erupt from these three sects joining forces!

Of course, among the people below, aside from those from the three major sects, there were also a considerable number of lone cultivators.

These people Xiao Yan originally didn't intend to summon, but Yao Chen still had him invite each one, eventually bringing in nearly twenty Dou Zun strongmen.

As for why Yao Chen did this, the reason is very simple.

These people—regardless of their strength—if you don't invite them, and later Lin Feng does, they'll become our enemies.

After all, Lin Feng himself is an Eighth Grade High-level Alchemist, and he also has the backing of the three great families of Dan Tower.

As soon as he raises his arm and calls, a large number of strong warriors will rush to aid the battle.

Now that they have invited more on this side, it will be much harder for Lin Feng to summon later.

"Master, the strong ones from the three major sects have now all arrived; we can set out."

After a brief chat with the strong ones from the other two sects, Xiao Yan—who had been severely wounded by the Six Celestial Lords of the Soul Hall in the previous battle—now revived, lively as ever, approached the blindfolded Yao Chen and said.

Hearing this, Yao Chen opened his eyes, his gaze slowly sweeping over the three major forces below, totaling nearly thirty Dou Zun strongmen.

Then he gave a slight nod, looked at Xiao Yan, who had turned misfortune into fortune by breaking through to the Two‑Star Dou Zun, and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, let's set off."

"Understood."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan turned to the many strong ones below and said, "Everyone, we have gathered today to encircle the city that Lin Feng's wife has newly built in the Central Region, to force Lin Feng to appear and retrieve the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, and the Three Thousand Yan Flame that the bandits stole, which may take some time, so I ask for your patience."

"Of course, once the matter is settled, my disciple and I will certainly not shortchange you; the previous promise will be fulfilled immediately!"

While speaking, Xiao Yan's voice was interlaced with Dou Qi.

Therefore, everyone below could hear his words perfectly.

After recovering from his near‑fatal injuries, Xiao Yan originally intended to go find Lin Feng to settle scores.

But after searching around, they found that Lin Feng had long since disappeared without a trace.

However, they did discover that Lin Feng's wife Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and Ye Xinlan were in a relatively spacious valley in the Central Region, beginning to build a city.

Given this situation, Xiao Yan and his disciple discussed and decided to simply gather the strong ones to block Lin Feng's wife inside.

In this way, they wouldn't doubt that Lin Feng would appear.

Moreover, that place is not a residence of the five great families of Dan Tower, so even if they cause trouble, Dan Tower can't say much.

After all, Dan Tower safeguards the safety of the five families' bases, but it doesn't concern itself with the safety of your expansion.

In such a case, even if the Dan family or the Cao family suffer losses, Dan Tower wouldn't intervene.

Thus, this is why Xiao Yan and his disciple dare to summon the strong ones to encircle.

"Hehe, young master Xiao Yan and Venerable Yao, rest assured; with our relationship, there's no need to distinguish between you and me. As soon as you give the word, we can seal that city off completely. Then, we will make Lin Feng obediently hand over the exotic fire."

Just as Xiao Yan finished speaking, a gaunt elder in gray robes from the Heavenly Nether Sect's ranks below raised his hands and smiled.

Although they knew that the Three Thousand Yan Flame was something Lin Feng had properly taken from the Star Region.

At this moment, of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to strike the other side in the face.

After all, the Heavenly Nether Sect wants to absorb the Flower Sect, and must first cultivate good relations with those people.

Otherwise, if the other side develops resentment toward the Heavenly Nether Sect,

their subsequent plans would become difficult to carry out.

"Then, for the subsequent matters, we will have to trouble Sen Luo Gui Zun with extra effort."

Xiao Yan saw the man and immediately smiled in return.

After all, Sen Luo Gui Zun is the second strongest sent by the Heavenly Nether Sect this time, second only to their deputy sect leader Liu Cang, so he naturally wouldn't put on airs toward him.

While Xiao Yan spoke, Yao Chen beside him extended both hands, unleashing a terrifying spatial power capable of killing a Dou Zun, which began to spread.

"Buzz!"

As the spatial force continued to expand, in the blink of an eye a black spatial rift formed right before him.

"This spatial passage was completed not long ago by the old master of the North Dragon; once you enter it, you can go straight to the destination, saving everyone a lot of effort."

When the rift was formed, Yao Chen smiled faintly and addressed the strong ones below.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Yan gestured, signaling the strong ones from Starfall Pavilion to set out.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

With his command, for a moment the entire Starfall Pavilion base rang with bursts of wind.

"Then we shall also set out!"

Seeing the Starfall Pavilion people take the lead, the leader of the Heavenly Nether Sect immediately raised his hand.

Having said so, he darted forward, plunging headfirst into the spatial rift.

Meanwhile, Sen Luo Gui Zun, who had spoken with Xiao Yan earlier, quickly called the rest of the Heavenly Nether Sect to follow.

Soon after, the Heavenly Nether Sect party closely followed the Starfall Pavilion strongmen, disappearing together into the rift.

"Hey, let's go too."

Seeing the other two major forces depart, the elderly leader of the Flower Sect let out a sigh, then called the Flower Sect disciples to set out.

"We shall obey Elder Two's command!"

After he finished, the group of strikingly beautiful female disciples behind him quickly saluted and likewise flew toward the spatial rift.

And the lone cultivators in the corner, seeing that the others had already set off,

after exchanging glances, they all hurried away from their spots, swiftly vanishing into the black passage in the sky.

"Teacher, that bunch of North Dragon King's men don't even want to go out themselves; they keep urging us to act every day. There must be some unknown secret behind it, so we have to be careful!"

Seeing those people leave, Xiao Yan immediately went to Yao Chen's side and whispered.

Hearing that, Yao Chen gave a wry smile, helplessly saying, "That part, as your master I naturally know, but even if we know those guys are hiding something from us, if we don't go, can you manage it?"

While speaking, Yao Chen also turned his head helplessly, looking at the disciple beside him.

"Hehe, those who gave me life are my parents, and those who know me are my teachers."

At his teacher's words, Xiao Yan also gave a wry smile and scratched the back of his head.

After all, during this period his teacher also mentioned some information about his father Xiao Zhan.

It is said that his father now has already been taken back by the Soul Clan behind the Soul Hall.

At this moment he should be imprisoned within the Soul Clan's small world.

And if he wants to rescue his father, he at least needs the power of the Saint of Battle realm.

Therefore, the exotic fire on Lin Feng and his wife cannot be watched by Xiao Yan idly as it swirls before him.

After all, if he wants to save his own father, snatching the exotic fire from Lin Feng and his spouse is the biggest and nearest chance.

If he abandons the exotic fire on Lin Feng and his wife and instead searches the world himself for exotic fire,

Even if he manages to reach the Saint of Battle realm, by then his father would probably have already died of old age.

Thus, no matter what, he will try again to seize the exotic fire of Lin Feng and the others.

"Eh, let's go. This time, regardless, the North Dragon King side has agreed to us; if Lin Feng contacts the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan for reinforcements, they will help block. That way we won't have to worry again like last time when a strong one of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan suddenly appeared to aid Lin Feng."

Yao Chen sighed, then recalled those people's previous promise, and his tone lost a few degrees of worry.

After all, those beast lords, if they rushed to help Lin Feng, even he now would not be able to resist.

But fortunately, now they no longer need to worry about that.

Hearing that, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.

However, thinking of those people's strange actions, he suddenly frowned and said, "But from the bizarre behavior of those under the North Dragon King, the current Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan must have experienced something."

"Otherwise, since Lin Feng is friendly with the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan, why would someone secretly contact us and have us act against Lin Feng?"

"The old man thinks the same, but from their actions they may be fearing something, thus not daring to act. I guess those under the North Dragon King are urging us to act in order to see some people's reactions and thus confirm certain matters."

Thinking of those North Dragon King envoys, Yao Chen's eyebrows twitched slightly, pondering.

But then he waved his hand toward Xiao Yan and said, "However, the arrow is already on the string and must be released; let's finish this battle first."

As soon as the words fell, Yao Chen was the first to leave, chasing after those people ahead.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan also gave a slight nod, then quickly planted his foot on the ground and leapt toward the spatial rift in the sky.

"Father, brother, wait for me a little longer. I, Xiao Yan, no matter what, will find a way to rescue you; no matter how powerful the Soul Clan is, I will not give up on you!"

Staring into the pitch‑black ahead, Xiao Yan silently resolved his determination.
