Chapter 741 - Return to the Hong Domain
“Something big has happened in the Hong Domain!”
Li Yao’s words exploded like a bomb, causing Chen Fan’s aura to erupt.
However, he quickly calmed his mind and withdrew his terrifying aura.
Although it lasted only a fraction of a second, it struck Li Yao—a first-level Heavenly Star realm expert—hard. His face went pale, and a low groan escaped his lips.
“Sorry.” Chen Fan apologized with a dark expression and asked, “What happened?”
He had left the Hong Domain five years ago to join the True Martial Academy. During that time, he advanced from the Golden Core realm to the Heavenly Star realm.
No rocket could match his speed of progression.
One would be called a genius if they could just advance to the Divine Nascent realm in that span.
He could cultivate so quickly thanks to his talent and the opportunities he gained on the Ancient Trial Road.
Apart from him, Li Yao, Qiu Yuexin, Xiao Zhen, and the others had also become significantly stronger.
Back on the Hidden Dragon Island, Li Yao alone had advanced to the Divine Nascent realm, while the others were at the eight or nine revolutions Golden Core realm.
They had embarked on True Martial Academy’s trail roads next. Although danger lurked at every step, all who survived and made it to the True Martial Academy improved dramatically within just a year.
Li Yao quickly answered, “You remember how the blood demons have overrun our domain, right? I just received a letter from my imperial father—he says the blood demons are wreaking havoc again. Many empires have already fallen under their assault."
Hearing this, Chen Fan’s eyes shone with a sharp gleam, and he said, “Isn’t Emperor Li a Heavenly Star realm expert? No matter how powerful the blood demons are, they shouldn’t be a match for the Hong Domain’s strongest, right?”
Li Yao smiled bitterly and said, “It’s not that simple. Three thousand years ago, our domain’s experts forced the Blood Demon Cave to go into hiding and live ignoble lives. We managed to kill almost all of their Heavenly Star realm experts, but those who survived with heavy injuries went into deep slumber to recuperate. Recently, the blood demons have stirred chaos, killing and collecting qi and blood to awaken those slumbering old-timers.”
“Have some old-timers from the Blood Demon Cave already awakened?”
Their current cultivation levels were impressive. Although they hadn't broken through to the Heavenly Star realm, they were all at the eighth or ninth level of the Divine Nascent realm
“Let’s go!”
Chen Fan waved his hand. He transformed into a blur, tearing through space like a stream of light as he flew into the distance.
......
Hong Domain, Great Li Imperial Court:
The atmosphere was oppressive in the imperial palace.
Nowadays, the Blood Demon Cave’s demons were wreaking havoc, affecting the entire Hong Domain.
None of the empires’ forces were spared. Even those hermits living in the mountains had no choice but to come out of isolation.
In the throne room, over ten figures stood, their powerful auras revealing their cultivation—Heavenly Star realm.
Despite their strength, their expressions were grim, and the atmosphere was suffocating.
“Li Xun, any news from your side?” asked a white-bearded elder dressed in white, looking at a middle-aged man in golden imperial robes—none other than Emperor Li.
Once the most renowned figure in the Hong Domain, he now ranked near the bottom of this formidable group.
“Elder Bai, Yao’er has replied that he has already broken through to the Heavenly Star realm—”
“Li Xun, your son entering the Heavenly Star realm is great news and all, but it would be pointless even if he returns. His strength is far from enough to solve our situation,” said a black-robed man with an aquiline nose, interrupting Emperor Li.
“Hawk King, I haven’t finished speaking yet. Yao’er mentioned that he will be coming back with his fellow disciples from the True Martial Academy, and there will be experts among them who can resolve this blood calamity.” [1]
1. Hawk King is a nickname based on his real name which will be mentioned in the next chapter. The last word of his name is ‘鹰’, which means hawk or eagle. ☜
