Best Young Master
Chapter 605 - 538: Dan Tribulation - Part 2

Chapter 605: Chapter 538: Dan Tribulation - Part 2

"Dare I ask, Sect Leader Zhang, who is the young man by your side?" Jie Dao asked with some curiosity.

"He is my youngest disciple, Yuan Feng," Heavenly Master Zhang said, his face flush with pride.

Yuan Feng was his youngest disciple, with exceptional talent from a young age. He had deliberately kept him hidden, personally imparting Martial Arts, preparing to create a sensation at the Qing bang contest hosted by Wudang, to enhance Wudang’s prestige.

Now, with Yan Jiang deciding to hold the Qing bang contest at Mount Tian, Wudang’s reputation had suffered. Upon learning that Ye Fan was going to defy nature and refine the Lifespan Extension Pill, Heavenly Master Zhang immediately decided to bring Yuan Feng to witness the event.

In doing so, not only could he introduce Yuan Feng to the public and create a sensation, regaining some face for Wudang, but it could also act as revenge for the day Ye Fan had slain Murong Sheng—by bringing his most outstanding disciple to witness Ye Fan being obliterated by the Dan Tribulation!

Sure enough, upon hearing Heavenly Master Zhang’s words, both Jie Dao and Emperor Bai’s expressions changed subtly, silently acknowledging Heavenly Master Zhang’s cunning and deep plans.

Master Chu, however, saw right through Heavenly Master Zhang’s mind and said coldly, "Heavenly Master Zhang, don’t tell me you and Jie Dao are both seeking death?"

"Master Chu misunderstands, we are here simply to admire the peerless grace of your disciple, not to cause trouble," Heavenly Master Zhang replied with a smile.

"Leave within three breaths!"

Master Chu’s tone was harsh; with Ye Fan in immediate peril, if these people affected Ye Fan’s resistance to the Dan Tribulation, they could have a negative impact on him.

"Evil Emperor, long time no see. You still have quite the imposing manner, just like in the old days."

The next moment.

Before Heavenly Master Zhang and Jie Dao could respond, a voice came from afar.

Yet another current of air rolled in from the south of Ao Xiang Villa, with two figures standing motionless within the air current.

One of the figures, an old man in a gray robe, had white hair but a ruddy complexion and sparkling eyes. A terrifying aura emanated from him, spreading out in all directions.

Standing beside the old man was a young man.

The young man had long flowing hair, a proud stature, star-like eyes, and a burly figure, radiating immense power and carrying a halberd in his hand that was extremely rare in modern times, bearing a close resemblance to the Fangtian Halberd wielded by Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms era.

Whoosh!

The arrival of the old man and the young man immediately caused Jie Dao, Emperor Bai’s disciples, Heavenly Master Zhang, and Yuan Feng’s disciples’ expressions to change.

Even... Master Chu’s expression shifted subtly!

As one of the banner figures of the Hua Xia Cultivation World, he recognized the old man in front.

The elder was the Family Head of the Martial Arts Family, the Lv Family, Lv Yuan.

The Lv Family was said to be related to Lu Bu from the Three Kingdoms, its legacy passed down since ancient times, never declining but had withdrawn from the world in recent times, completely hidden from public view. It was unexpected that they would reveal themselves today.

"Master Chu, your disciple sure commands a lot of respect, even the hidden Martial Arts Family, the Lv Family, has been stirred by his actions!"

After a brief moment of shock, Jie Dao laughed mockingly. He had the Bai Family spread the news of Ye Fan’s plans to defy nature and refine the Lifespan Extension Pill in secret, with the intention of attracting various figures from the Hua Xia Cultivation World, hoping for Ye Fan to be killed by the Dan Tribulation in front of everyone, thereby causing Master Chu to lose face.

"It seems I’ve come late!"

Shortly afterward, without waiting for Master Chu’s response to Lv Yuan’s remark, another current of air roared in, an old crone flying in the air with a young girl.

The old crone’s aura was terrifying, no weaker than that of Jie Dao or Heavenly Master Zhang, even comparable to Master Chu!

The girl had a delicate face that looked sweet and amiable at first glance, but when looking at Wudang’s Yuan Feng and the Lv Family’s young man, her eyes were full of pride, as if she would not be satisfied until she was on top of the world. Only when looking at Emperor Bai did she show a hint of wariness.

"Jie Dao, I’ll only ask you once, will you leave or not?"

Seeing that representatives from two great Martial Arts Families had arrived after years of seclusion, Master Chu immediately guessed the trick at play and once again directed a terrifying deadly intent towards Jie Dao, making no attempt to conceal it.

"Master Chu, we are all here to admire the splendor of your disciple, yet you are so overbearing as to drive us away. What is the meaning of this? Do you intend to defy the rules of the Yanhuang Organization and help your disciple refine the pill blatantly, interfering with state affairs?"

Faced with Master Chu’s terrifying intent to kill, Jie Dao was not afraid. Firstly, he did not believe Master Chu would dare to strike, and besides, Ye Fan had slain Murong Sheng, making enemies with Wudang—if Master Chu made a move, he could join forces with Heavenly Master Zhang to fight back.

"You’re courting death!"

Master Chu’s faced turned cold, ready to take action.

"Xuanji, do not strike!"

Just at that moment, a voice drifted from afar.

As the voice ceased, a person appeared.

As the number one figure on both the Dragon Ranking and Divine List, Leader Yan made his presence known, stepping through the air towards Master Chu.

"Leader Yan!"

When Yan Yi appeared, Jie Dao, Heavenly Master Zhang, Lv Yuan, and the old matron from the Jiang Family all clasped their hands and bowed in greeting.

Yan smiled and returned the greeting, then noticed Master Chu looking at him with an unhappy expression.

"Your disciple’s pill refining has spread throughout the entire Cultivation World. Today, those who have come to watch him refining pills aren’t limited to just them," Yan said with a wry smile.

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, Master Chu unleashed his mind, and immediately sensed currents of aura streaming in from all directions towards Ao Xiang Villa.

Realizing this, Master Chu’s heart stirred, and he understood the cause—Earth’s Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi had suddenly increased, and various factions were dispatched to find the truth. Upon suddenly hearing that Ye Fan was about to refine the legendary Immortal Pill, it was natural for them to come and watch!

"The Lifespan Extension Pill, even in the Ancient Cultivation World, is a unique Immortal Pill, rarely refined successfully. The Evil Emperor’s disciple, daring to refine this pill with his Innate Perfection Magic Cultivation, just this audacity alone is enough to look down on the younger generation!"

Heavenly Master Zhang originally feared Master Chu and didn’t dare to provoke him, but now seeing Yan appear, the fear in his heart completely dissipated, and he started to mock openly.

"Indeed, the younger generation is to be feared. After today, the name of the Evil Emperor’s disciple will probably resonate throughout the Hua Xia Cultivation World, and even the global Cultivation World!"

Jie Dao sneered in agreement, the sarcasm in his words self-evident—he simply didn’t believe that Ye Fan could withstand the Dan Tribulation and succeed in pill refining!

"Evil Emperor, as I know, refining the Lifespan Extension Pill can attract a terrible Dan Tribulation. How is your disciple going to resist it?"

Upon hearing this, Lv Family Patriarch Lv Yuan looked up at the increasingly dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the sky, and asked with a hint of curiosity.

Shua!

Lv Yuan’s question was exactly what everyone wanted to know. Instantly, including Yan, everyone’s gaze turned to Master Chu.

"Hmph!"

Master Chu snorted coldly and did not answer. Instead, he turned and flew towards Villa Number Seven.

Clearly... he also knew that, at this point, even if he knew Jie Dao and Heavenly Master Zhang were here to gloat, it was no longer appropriate to take action, lest he publicly embarrass Yan.

And the Lv Family, Jiang Family, and the cultivators rushing towards the villa, though drawn by curiosity, most likely also didn’t believe that Ye Fan could successfully refine the Lifespan Extension Pill.

"Xuanji, today is a great opportunity for your disciple to make a name for himself. Why are you driving them away?"

Yan quickly followed Master Chu, asking with full curiosity.

He had personally witnessed Ye Fan resisting the Heavenly Tribulation with a mysterious Crimson Gold Crown inside his body, it never crossed his mind that Ye Fan couldn’t withstand the Dan Tribulation.

In his view, the more people who came to watch Ye Fan’s pill refining, the happier Master Chu should be, not the other way around!

"That Crimson Gold Crown inside him is damaged," Master Chu said with a grave tone.

"What... what?" Startled by Master Chu’s words, Yan was shocked, "Then what will he rely on to resist the Dan Tribulation?"

"He’s gambling on that mysterious Crimson Gold Crown appearing at the most critical moment to save him," Master Chu explained, his brows completely knitted together.

"To help his father reach the top, he doesn’t hesitate to bet with his life. Compared to him, those so-called privileged young masters truly have no shame in living," said Yan, his heart stirred by Master Chu’s words, guessing the reason behind Ye Fan’s insistence and heaving a sigh, "But... this is too risky—with the concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi gathered in the sky, today’s Dan Tribulation will be extraordinarily terrifying. If that mysterious Crimson Gold Crown inside him doesn’t appear in time to help him resist the Dan Tribulation, even our help would be futile!"

Master Chu remained silent, a hint of regret surfacing in his heart.

Yan said no more and fixed his gaze on Ye Fan.

Defying the heavens, becoming known throughout the world?

Overestimating oneself, seeking one’s own death?

He silently questioned himself.

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish..."

Without an answer, one figure after another appeared on the hills surrounding Ao Xiang Villa, their gazes unanimously fixed on Ye Fan.

Shua!

Ye Fan opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

He was the center of attention.

Yet he had no way out.
