The Ancient Holy Body thinks I'm too extreme!

Chapter 184 Those who learn from me will live, but you can't! Zhang Kun and Ye Fan team up to kill! (3k)

Ye Fan quickly made a guess.

Some believe that Zhang Kun's extraordinary weapon-forging method may have originated from Jiang Jiang, the divine body of the Jiang family!
As a treasure of the Eastern Wilderness human race, the Desolate Tower could not be replicated by the Ji family or other holy lands. Only the Jiang family was able to replicate it.

This alone is enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the Jiang family's weapon-forging techniques.

Zhang Kun remained calm and collected the six-story ancient pagoda.

His gaze swept calmly across the area, and wherever it fell, people quickly moved aside, none daring to meet his eyes.

Everyone seemed afraid that they would become the next Wang Chongxiao and be ruthlessly suppressed!

"Brother Zhang, by suppressing the royal body with a mortal body, you are destined to become famous throughout the Central Plains. This can be described as writing an unconventional destiny for mortal body cultivators."

Hua Yunfei spoke, letting out a long sigh, expressing his heartfelt admiration.

"Looking back, when Brother Zhang came to Zhuofeng, he renovated the mountain gate, turned around Zhuofeng's decline, and ultimately made Zhuofeng flourish..."

"Brother Zhang is truly an extraordinary person. If Yunfei can learn even a little from him and change his own and Xingfeng's fate, it would be a great blessing!"

Zhang Kun sized Hua Yunfei up and down, and said indifferently:
"You can't learn."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yunfei was stunned.

The others froze, all feeling that Zhang Kun had been too straightforward, making Hua Yunfei's attempt to flatter backfire and leaving him in an awkward position.

"You want to learn from me and reform Xingfeng, but I see that Xingfeng remains unchanged, which shows that you don't have the courage to turn the knife inward!"

Zhang Kun shook his head slightly and said calmly:

"In the end, in order to prevent Xingfeng from declining, they might even kill me in the future, believing that as long as they do so, Zhuofeng will fall again, while Xingfeng will remain!"

"Could it really be like that?!"

"Perhaps in the future, because you failed to reorganize Xingfeng, someone else will take over, and all your efforts will be in vain!"

Hua Yunfei remained expressionless, feeling extremely uneasy.

He always felt that what Zhang Kun was talking about didn't seem to be about the rectification of the mountain gate, Zhuofeng, and Xingfeng.

But -

He is Hua Yunfei!
Lacking the courage to resist the ruthless lineage, they could only obediently follow orders, seize the essence of others, and turn them into puppets!
And he believed that as long as he waited, he would definitely have a chance and would be able to defy fate sooner or later!

But the fact is...

Is that really the case?!

Hua Yunfei didn't know!

All he knew was that he was nothing more than a discarded pawn, a tool to benefit others!

Hua Yunfei's thoughts were in turmoil; a scene from when he was five years old reappeared before his eyes—

A child, radiating light, appeared intelligent and divine, almost like the son of God.

He was holding a guqin at the time, timid and fearful, constantly retreating.

He had no choice but to agree to the mysterious protector's request!

Go be a pawn destined to fail from the start!
Despite his determination to defy fate over the years, time and again he could only obey orders!

Like a pitiful fish, it struggles to leap up again and again, each time thinking it has escaped the river.

But each time, a large hand forcibly pulls it back and throws it back into the same unchanging current, always moving in one direction.

He stared at Zhang Kun, watching the other casually toss the small tower, and felt a turmoil in his heart.

Zhang Kun gave him the feeling that he had seen through everything.

"Yunfei has learned a lot."

Finally, Hua Yunfei bowed slightly.

Zhang Kun laughed it off and ignored it.

poor person must have something mean.

If he hadn't seen that Hua Yunfei truly admired him, he probably wouldn't have bothered with all that talk.

"Speaking of which, there's something else I want to ask Wang Chongxiao."

Ye Fan walked over and glanced at Hua Yunfei:
"I heard that he fought a great battle with Ye Huiling and was eventually ambushed by a mysterious figure. I don't know who that figure is or where Ye Huiling went."

Hearing him say that, everyone else looked over.

Everyone present heard the rumor, and Wang Chongxiao disappeared for a long time as a result.

Zhang Kun smiled.

Ye Fan clearly suspects Hua Yunfei in this matter.

Because he and Ji Ziyue had also encountered a similar situation, being suddenly ambushed!

"This is not easy!"

Zhang Kun patted the small tower, signaling Wang Chongxiao inside to respond.

At first, there was silence, but unable to withstand the suppression of Zhang Kun's manipulation of the Xuanhuang Qi, it had no choice but to respond:
"Ye Huiling is definitely not dead. The person who ambushed us that day was very powerful, definitely a senior figure!"

Wang Chongxiao gritted his teeth and refused to say anything more.

But for Ye Fan, this seemed to be enough. He deliberately coughed up blood and took his leave in advance.

Seeing this, everyone took the opportunity to disperse.

Li Xiaoman saw her off, saying:
"If you have no choice, then just sever your cultivation. Actually, being a mortal is quite good too."

Hua Yunfei also came over, but he came to Zhang Kun's side.

“Xingfeng is different from Zhuofeng. Zhuofeng has no people, so it is naturally easier to organize the mountain gate.”

"Besides, Brother Zhang has Senior Li backing him up!"

"Although I am the great-grandson of the Tai Xuan Sect Master, I am not only facing Xingfeng, but also external pressure... I can only take expedient measures and have to postpone it!"

Hua Yunfei seemed to want to defend himself, to prove that he was not lacking in courage, but rather had something he couldn't say.

"You've really had a tough time," Zhang Kun nodded and said.

"But if we're talking about background, your mother is from the Ji family... I think even in the Eastern Wilderness Holy Land, who can compare to the Ji and Jiang families?"

"Your so-called expedient measure is nothing more than wanting both and having both."

Hua Yunfei froze.

Because his mother was indeed a member of the Ji family, and not just any ordinary member of the Ji family!
He could even address Ji Hui as his great-aunt, just like Ji Ziyue and Ji Haoyue!
Back then, when faced with the mysterious protector and that child who seemed like a god... it was indeed entirely possible to seek help from the mother clan!
But why are you unwilling to try even the slightest bit?
Tai Xuan has no ancient scriptures, so if he wants to achieve something, he is destined to have to find another lineage!

Zhang Kun smiled, ignored Hua Yunfei, and left with Ye Fan.

The so-called ruthless lineage once sought out the young Jiang Yifei.

In the end, he was still killed by the Jiang family. All these years, he didn't even dare to seek revenge.

Is Hua Yunfei really facing as many difficulties as he claims?
I'm afraid that's not necessarily true!
Although Earth has only a history of more than two thousand years, in most dynasties, the maternal clan and maternal uncles served the emperors as their nephews.

"The mysterious figure may be one of Hua Yunfei's men."

Ye Fan stroked his chin and guessed:

"I suspect... Hua Yunfei cultivates a ruthless demonic art that requires him to plunder the essence of others, which is why he attacked me and Ji Ziyue back then, and is now targeting Wang Chongxiao and Ye Huiling!"

This is undoubtedly a bold guess!
In the original novel, Ye Fan did indeed make a bold deduction based on these clues!
Moreover, this time, Zhang Kun had given them a heads-up beforehand.

Ye Fan became even more certain!

“I don’t care. All I know is that he sent people to kill me back then.”

Zhang Kun tossed the small tower in his hand.

The two exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.

Back at Zhuofeng, the two went together to see the old man Li Ruoyu.

"Master (senior), please help us intercept a terrifying figure."

Li Ruoyu's eyes were as calm as water.

To him, both of them were disciples, and disciples who brought glory to Zhuofeng's family.

He didn't stop the two from doing what they wanted to do; he simply nodded in agreement and lifted them up!

On that very day, Ye Fan left the Tai Xuan Sect alone.

He traveled slowly towards Yandu, not in a hurry, and kept a close eye on everything in the shadows.

"Buzz!"

On the seventh day, a dazzling light descended from the sky and struck him!
This was a giant purple hand, covering the sky and earth, and the shockwaves it generated were as terrifying as a vast ocean.

"boom!"

Li Ruoyu appeared, raising one hand to block the attack!
With a deafening roar, the peak of a nearby mountain was ripped off, demonstrating just how terrifying such power was.

"Who are you? I seem to have sensed your presence before."

Li Ruoyu calmly faced the gaunt, powerful figure in the void. He had sensed the figure's aura at the Tai Xuan Sect!

"I never expected you to be so difficult!"

The gaunt, powerful man did not respond to Li Ruoyu, but instead stared coldly at Ye Fan.

"I knew you were coming to kill me."

Ye Fan sneered and said:

"Since you can't kill me, then I'm sorry, I'll go kill him."

Soon, an earth-shattering battle broke out here!
The old man Li Ruoyu used the Great Dao of Nature to force the emaciated strongman to ultimately choose to commit suicide!

Ye Fan bid farewell, realizing that the old man was a late bloomer and could already rival the Holy Lord.

On that very day, rumors spread throughout the Southern Region that the Holy Body was about to pass away!

Many people saw him coughing up blood and stumbling all the way to Yandu.

"The Holy Body is clearly not going to survive!"

Almost everyone in the Southern Region knew about this news, and many people were discussing it.

Soon, news spread that Ye Fan was willing to enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land on behalf of several generations of holy lands and the supreme sects of Zhongzhou to harvest the immortal elixir!
This led everyone to believe that Ye Fan's days were numbered and he had no choice but to take a risk!
They were willing to be used as herb-gathering boys in the holy land in exchange for a final chance at life.

Zhang Kun remained at Zhuofeng, claiming to be in seclusion, but he kept a close eye on Xingfeng's movements.

At this moment, the star peak emerges from between the peaks.

Hua Yunfei remained calm and composed, playing the instrument with a composed expression, completely focused and no longer paying attention to anything outside.

It seems that only playing the piano can bring him inner peace and stop him from thinking about anything else.

"The Holy Body is dying, it's time for you to make your move!"

From the void, a voice came, commanding him.

"Zheng!"

Hua Yunfei pressed down on the strings, his face expressionless.

At this moment, Zhang Kun's words echoed in his mind, and his hand slowly clenched...

But in the end, they let go.

Hua Yunfei did not resist, just as before, he did not object to the pursuit of Ji Ziyue, Ye Fan, and others.

He rose to his feet, finally standing atop the precipice, his blue robes billowing, ethereal as a fairy, and sighed softly:
"What a pity that Brother Ye is about to pass away. Junior Sister Xiaoman, let's go and see him off."

Li Xiaoman stood on the cliff, her white clothes fluttering, her eyes gazing towards the southern region, lost in thought, before nodding.

After the two left, Zhang Kun, who had been watching them closely, finally took his leave.

He arrived at the former site of the Xuan Yuan Sect, reunited with Pang Bo and the Black Emperor's group, and boarded the bronze warship.

Thinking back to the original novel, if we want to keep Hua Yunfei, we might need the Black Emperor's help!
