Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Crossing the Line Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Crossing the Line They said Jiang Fan’s strength was above that of Liang Feiyan.
That was already enough to shock them for a year.
Now, it was said that Jiang Fan’s strength was above that of Xia Chaoge, the number one in the Nine-Sect?
it was Xia Chaoge herself who said it!
The shock in their hearts was already indescribable!
Lu Xiunian panicked and said, “Chaoge, don’t disparage yourself and boost others’ morale!”
“I recently witnessed Jiang Fan’s strength in the mines.”
“At most, he’s on par with Xue Wanchong.”
“How could he be as exaggerated as you and Liang Feiyan say?”
He admitted that Jiang Fan indeed had surprising strength.
But it wasn’t as ridiculously high as the two had claimed.
Xia Chaoge calmly said, “I speak no falsehood. Not long ago in Sky-breaking Canyon…”
“Junior Sister Xia, let’s not bring up the past.”
Jiang Fan promptly interrupted her.
Xia Chaoge then realized that mentioning the incident in Sky-breaking Canyon would expose the fact that Jiang Fan had harvested more than sixty demon cores.
Such a large number of demon cores would certainly provoke envy.
Especially with a group of powerful Tianji Pavilion disciples around.
She immediately stopped talking.
Lu Xiunian spread his hands and said, “See, you can’t even explain it.”
“Do I not understand Jiang Fan’s strength?”
Li Qingfeng was also slightly disappointed.
He had been greatly excited just now.
Smiling, he patted Jiang Fan on the shoulder and said, “It’s okay.”
“The fact that you can kill more Beast Kings than Xia Chaoge is already a brag-worthy achievement.”
“It’s normal to be less powerful than Xia Chaoge.”
He then looked at Lu Xiunian and said, “We shouldn’t stay away from Boundary Mountain for too long.”
“Who knows what kind of trouble those Tianji Pavilion guys will cause.”
Lu Xiunian’s expression turned serious.
“Let’s go! Rush back quickly!”
Jiang Fan swiftly took out three demon cores and hurried along with them to Boundary Mountain.
Along the way, he frowned frequently upon hearing about the actions of the Tianji Pavilion disciples on the front line.
It would be one thing if they were just fighting for merit.
But causing a Beast King invasion just to get a little more was too much!
Don’t think it was easy for them to kill a Beast King.
For a Foundation Establishment disciple, encountering a single Beast King was a life-and-death situation.
Not to mention, if the Beast King invaded ordinary towns.
A city like Lonely Boat City didn’t even have a Core Formation expert.
At most, their strongest were in the third or fourth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If a Beast King rampaged in, it would be like a natural disaster.
It’s unimaginable how many elderly and children would be killed or injured.
“Elder Li, are you just going to let it be?”
Liang Feiyan’s brows furrowed after hearing this.
Li Qingfeng smiled bitterly and said, “They’re Tianji Pavilion disciples with their masters backing them.”
“How could we, as elders, discipline them?”
“At most, we can give a verbal reprimand.”
“If they don’t listen, there’s nothing more we can do.”
Jiang Fan understood the difficulty the two elders faced.
It was like two children fighting, and even if one child suffered unfairly, the parents would find it hard to intervene directly.
They could only argue with the other child’s parents.
If the elders resorted to bullying, it would definitely cause a conflict at the higher level.
As elders of the Nine-Sect, how could they dare provoke the powerhouses of the Tianji Pavilion?
He rubbed his chin and said,
“If our disciples make a move, no matter the outcome, the Tianji Pavilion would have no grounds to complain, right?”
Li Qingfeng nodded heavily, “Of course!”
“They entered secretly. If they’re beaten by their peers, how could they escalate the matter?”
“Moreover, even if their elders want to back them up, they wouldn’t lower themselves to quarrel with juniors.”
Lu Xiunian hurriedly gestured for him to stop talking.
“Don’t say such unrealistic things aloud.”
“If the Tianji Pavilion disciples hear it, they’ll laugh at us Nine-Sect for indulging in fantasies.”
Li Qingfeng immediately stopped talking with a bitter smile.
Indeed, it was self-consolation.
Because it was impossible for the Nine-Sect to have such powerful disciples.
If they did, the Tianji Pavilion disciples wouldn’t be so brazen.
Lu Xiunian said, “Chaoge, after you get to Boundary Mountain, try not to get entangled with the Tianji Pavilion disciples.”
“Just focus on killing Beast Kings and earning merit for yourself.”
“These Tianji Pavilion disciples will get their comeuppance sooner or later!”
Xia Chaoge didn’t say anything.
Obviously, she also felt that the actions of the Tianji Pavilion disciples were excessive.
She glanced at Jiang Fan.
She noticed Jiang Fan calmly watching the place where the Monkey Beast Kings had broken through the defenses.
She smiled knowingly.
Silently, she thought, “I knew Master Uncle wouldn’t stand idly by.”
She realized that she really liked this Master Uncle a lot.
Every action he took perfectly aligned with her wishes.
the fact that he had too many women around him was an exception.
Jiang Fan arrived at the foot of Boundary Mountain.
Standing at the base, he could truly feel how vast Boundary Mountain was.
Looking up, he couldn’t see the top.
The great walls on either side were even more magnificent and grand.
The ancient and majestic pressure was overwhelming!
“You all act independently. This Boundary Mountain is huge, and there are demons everywhere.”
Li Qingfeng instructed a few disciples and then, along with Lu Xiunian, rushed into the mountain to patrol.
Their main task was to guard against powerful Beast Kings that the disciples couldn’t handle.
Additionally, they would offer help if they saw disciples in danger.
The task of dealing with low-tier Beast Kings mainly fell to the disciples.
He utilized his movement technique, treading on snow and heading swiftly toward the mountain peak.
Xia Chaoge also moved almost simultaneously.
Liang Feiyan was stunned: “Are those two really so in sync?”
“Both want to teach the Tianji Pavilion disciples a lesson?”
“Well, I want to go too, hehe!”
On the mountain peak,
Li Shiqian clutched her bleeding abdomen, her face as pale as paper.
She leaned against a snow pile.
The blood turned the snow pile red, seeping deep within.
It made the snow pile strikingly vivid.
Her face showed weakness and pain as she looked at the group of black-robed people in front of her, laughing and collecting demon cores from the slain beasts.
Then she looked at the Nine-Sect disciples lying all around, writhing in pain.
This included even the Big Senior Brother, Hua Xiangchen.
His injuries were the most serious, lying in a pool of blood, his life or death unknown.
while they struggled to resist the Monkey Beast Kings’ onslaught,
this group of Tianji Pavilion disciples suddenly appeared and attacked them from behind.
they were attacked from both sides and suffered heavy casualties.
She had been knocked over by a Monkey Beast King, its sharp claws piercing a hole through her abdomen.
But she was somewhat lucky.
At least she survived.
Some disciples were trampled to death by the Monkey Beast Kings on the spot.
With no remains left!
“You call yourselves Tianji Pavilion disciples! You’re worse than bandits and robbers!”
Li Shiqian shouted with grief and indignation.
Her words drew the attention of the black-robed people.
Among them, a tall figure wearing a mask engraved with ancient sword patterns, seemed to be the leader, and the others seemed to follow him.
He turned his head and said mockingly, “Who said we’re Tianji Pavilion disciples?”
“You can eat food carelessly, but you can’t speak carelessly.”
If they dared to cause such chaos,
naturally, they would never admit to being Tianji Pavilion disciples.
Beside him, a thin young man with eyes full of wickedness licked his lips.
“Boss, since she thinks I’m a bandit, I’ll be a bandit for once!”
“I’ve been out for so long, and I haven’t touched a woman yet.”
“This woman’s body is exceptionally good!”
His greedy gaze fell on Li Shiqian’s chest.
He hungrily ogled her ample bosom.
