Chapter 520: Chapter 523: The Fall of the Shi Family (1) (Thanks to everyone for the recommendation votes)

Black clouds covered the sky above Xuanwu City, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. With a drip the size of a bean falling, a torrential downpour ensued.

On the Floating Island, nearly a thousand black-clad individuals brimming with killing intent gathered before the Shi Family Hall; these were the Shi Family Disciples who had arrived first after receiving the summons.

"Everyone, Ziyi Hall has wantonly slaughtered our Shi Family disciples. If we don’t avenge this hatred, how can our Shi Family stand in Xuanwu City? Tonight, we flatten Ziyi Hall. Leave no one alive. Set out!"

With the Shi Family Patriarch’s command, a thousand sword lights flashed, the sound of swords breaking the night, like a hundred sword dragons rushing out of the Floating Island toward Ziyi Hall.

The rain continued to pour. This was the first time it had rained so heavily since Yan Rufeng ascended to the Divine Realm.

Inside Ziyi Hall’s grand hall, Yan Rufeng withdrew his Divine Sense from his Purple Mansion, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Not bad. Two thousand True God Pills have elevated two thousand people’s cultivation to the True God Realm, enough to establish a foothold in Xuanwu City."

"Haha..."

"Once Mo Qianchou and the others go to the Divine Realm to gather resources, I think it won’t be long before the immortals who followed me to the Divine Realm no longer need to stay in the Purple Mansion World. I didn’t let them down..."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A thousand sword lights approached from afar. Yan Rufeng squinted his eyes, glanced, and suddenly became serious. He then contacted Mo Qianchou and his group in the Purple Mansion World.

Those who had just raised their cultivation to the True God Realm rekindled their enthusiasm upon seeing Yan Rufeng’s return.

Especially Yan Wushuang, the son of Blood Slaughter and Xue Ying, who appeared particularly excited. In an instant, he was by Yan Rufeng’s side.

"Godfather, you returned. Did you bring a pill stronger than the True God Pill?"

Yan Rufeng did not answer Yan Wushuang directly but smiled and patted his head, then shifted his gaze to the crowd.

Feng Mohan and Feng Moran, the two sisters, seemed to have noticed something.

"Brother Rufeng, since we chose to follow you to the Divine Realm, don’t hide anything, just instruct us."

At this moment, Jiang Mang’er twisted her waist and smiled sweetly.

"The Feng sisters are right. No matter what Brother Rufeng asks us to do, I, Jiang Mang’er, will never back down."

Meanwhile, Mo Qianchou, Jiang Xuedao, and other former Immortal World leaders expressed their stance.

Mo Qianchou bowed and said, "We chose to follow Emperor Yan and have long since entrusted our lives to you. Please issue the command, Emperor Yan!"

Jiang Xuedao became serious, cupped his hands, and said, "Please issue the command, Emperor Yan!"

"Please issue the command, Emperor Yan..."

Tens of thousands of voices echoed throughout the universe, resonating endlessly.

Yan Rufeng gestured for everyone to quiet down.

Seeing the eager eyes of the crowd, Yan Rufeng’s aura changed. His white robe fluttered without wind, and a kingly presence emanated from within, his deep eyes shooting out a gleam.

"What virtue or ability does Yan Rufeng have to deserve such high regard from all of you? Since everyone has chosen without hesitation to enter the Divine Realm with me, tonight marks the official day of entering the Divine Realm!"

"Gods, listen to my order, follow me into the Divine Realm, and conquer all directions!"

"Glorious Emperor Yan!"

"We are willing to follow Emperor Yan to the death!"

Someone shouted, followed by the unanimous voices of the crowd.

"We vow to follow Emperor Yan to the death, willing to give everything for Emperor Yan until our last breath..."

...

Before the Shi Family’s people arrived, Yan Rufeng had already arranged everything before the Ziyi Hall grand hall.

Twenty thousand True God Realm powerhouses, each holding a bottle of fourth-rank Replenishing God Pills and a hundred fourth-rank attack Divine Talismans, appeared before the Ziyi Hall grand hall.

As soon as the Shi Family members stepped onto Ziyi Hall’s territory, they were surrounded by twenty thousand True God Realm powerhouses.

Faced with this sudden change, not only the Shi Family members but even Xia Yu and his dozen companions were completely baffled.

"Brother Yan, where did so many True God Realm powerhouses come from? What’s going on?"

Yan Rufeng did not answer Xia Yu, coldly glaring at the Shi Family members.

"Shi Family, you’ve gone too far!"

"Gods, listen to my order, kill without mercy!"

With Yan Rufeng’s command, killing intent surged instantly, piercing through the clouds. The entire Xuanwu City was enveloped in this overwhelming murderous aura.

Immediately, the sound of talismans exploding echoed through Xuanwu City. Frequences of colorful spells were constant, even the ground trembled under the onslaught of twenty thousand True God powerhouses. If not for the robust laws of the Divine Realm and the thick world barriers, the entire Xuanwu City might have been shattered.

The nearly thousand True God powerhouses of the Shi Family couldn’t withstand such an attack. Within moments, everyone perished in terror.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the rain gradually ceased.

Yan Rufeng coldly gazed towards the Floating Island, brandished the Creation Divine Sword, and pointed at the Shi Family, growling lowly.

"Everyone, follow me to the Floating Island and annihilate the Shi Family!"

The Shi Family clashed with Ziyi Hall, and in an instant, a thousand fell. Everyone in Xuanwu City wiped a cold sweat.

The heads of the Qin, Zhao, and Song families were even more terrified, urgently convening a family meeting.

Upon hearing the news, the Shi Family Patriarch’s face turned ashen. Cold sweat poured down as if he had fallen into an ice pit. He hurriedly ran to the family’s forbidden area, seeking their ancestor’s intervention to handle this crisis.

The Shi Family Ancestor, whose cultivation had reached the Main God Realm, was one of the four main gods in Xuanwu City. Because of this, the Shi Family occupied the Floating Island and became one of the Four Major Families.

Just as Yan Rufeng and his group reached the Shi Family’s stronghold, the furious roar of the Shi Family Ancestor echoed in their ears.

"Who dares to act recklessly on my Shi Family’s territory?!"

Before the words were finished, the Shi Family Ancestor appeared before Yan Rufeng.

Faced with a Main God Realm expert a whole rank above him, Yan Rufeng was utterly unafraid.

"I’ll hold off the Shi Family Ancestor, you guys continue!"

"Kill..."

The cries of battle echoed for miles, making everyone within and outside of Xuanwu City anxious.

"You impudent brat!"

The Shi Family Ancestor’s face contorted in rage. He hastily formed a spell and summoned a magic artifact to attack Yan Rufeng.

Silence!

Utter silence!

The world fell quiet.

Yan Rufeng slowly opened his eyes, staring at the familiar surroundings, puzzled.

"How did I leave the Divine Realm and return to Earth?"

"No, it seems I never went to the Divine Realm..."

"Rufeng, Rufeng!"

"That voice... Mom’s voice!"

Yan Rufeng walked quickly toward the voice. Seeing the person, tears welled up instantly.

"Mom, Mom!"

"You silly boy, why are you crying? Look who’s here?"

Yan Rufeng followed the voice and stood frozen in place.

"Mumu!"

"Brother Rufeng, I’ve missed you so much. You seem so busy every day; you never come to see me!"

"Mumu, I missed you too." Yan Rufeng rushed toward Mumu.

"Good son, you have a good chat with Mumu. Mom won’t disturb you!"

"Something’s off!"

Yan Rufeng suddenly remembered something and took several steps back.

"How does Mom know Mumu? She shouldn’t know that Niuniu is Mumu; it’s all an illusion!"

"Xiao Jian, quickly kill those two!"

Clang!

With the sound of a sword, the scene before Yan Rufeng’s eyes began to change.

"Haha..."

The Shi Family Ancestor laughed wickedly.

"You little bastard, you indeed have some skills. To be able to see through the Illusion Realm in my Main God Domain!"

"Since that’s the case, no more games. The hunt starts now..."
