Chapter 1069: The Stirred World
Not only in the Lin State, the entire world was astonished by Chen Fan’s return.
At the Su family estate in Wu Zhou.
Old Lord Su sat on the chair and laughed when received the news. The other members of the Su family—who had been oppressed by countless cultivators in the Jiang Nan Province in the last six years—even started crying.
How long had it been?
Six years!
Ever since Fang Qiong and the others disappeared, the Su family turned from a powerful family in the world to a normal cultivation family, or a declined family everyone could step on, in Wu Zhou.
Those alien races that attacked the North Qiong Sect didn’t even care about the Su family. Their main focus was on the core disciples and elders of the North Qiong Sect, sparing normal families related to the sect, like the Su family. And yet, it had been a tough period of time for them.
The Su family mainly ran enterprises in the past, but the world had changed.
Cultivators had risen. Although the Su family had survived, they still had to give in. They gave up positions like the Presidency of the Jiang Nan Chamber of Commerce and the leaders.h.i.+p of the Wu Zhou Business League. The remaining group of members could only stay in the old mansion of the Su family, being mocked by the others.
Many members of the Su family had left because of all kinds of humiliation.
But Fang Qiong’s grandfather, and great grandfather Su Yanghao, couldn’t give up so they stayed in the end. Upon hearing this day’s news, even Su Yanghao laughed loudly.
Fang Qiong’s grandpa, Su Yangren, said as he weeped, “Yes, it’s finally over. Everything’s finally over!”
The junior members of the family, including Su Xiao and Su Peng, were also emotional.
Even though Chen Fan didn’t like them, and they also hated him in the past, they realized what they had lost once Chen Fan left. They only felt joy since Chen Fan had returned. How could they not respect him?
On the Island of Borneo, Southeast Asia.
A group of Dragon Hall disciples hidden in the rainforest started crying after getting the news. Their leader approached them and shouted, “Sect Master has returned. The North Qiong Sect will rise again and take revenge on the Dark Races!”
“Revenge!” everyone shouted.
Jin City, Jiang Nan Province.
Tang Yuanqin, who had reached the Connate realm and was the top cultivator in the Jiang Nan Province, was making tea. There was an unfinished game on the chessboard in front of him. It seemed to have been left there for a long time. Even the pieces became yellow, but had apparently not been moved at all.
This game was the one Chen Fan and Tang Yuanqin didn’t finish back then. Tang Yuanqin kept it until this day.
And then.
He grabbed a black piece and made his move.
“Perfected Cultivator, it’s good to have you back!”
In the Gu family territory.
Their leader, Gu s.h.i.+tong, was almost a hundred years old and had reached the Divine Sea Level. He burst into laughter after hearing the news.
“Quick, ask someone to prepare some presents for Perfected Cultivator Chen!”
A lot of members of the Gu family were also excited. Some elders wanted to ask Gu s.h.i.+tong to wait for a bit, but they didn’t say anything after seeing the smile on everyone’s faces.
In Kunlun.
Azure Dragon was drinking happily. Even though he was severely injured, he seemed to be extremely thrilled and he didn’t listen to the others who tried to stop him from drinking.
Chen Fan had returned.
It was certainly worth celebrating.
Kunlun didn’t have to guard China on their own anymore!
In the meantime, not only the Su family, the Tang family and the Gu family, almost all families related to Chen Fan were excited. The North Qiong Sect was indeed gone, but Chen Fan was back. The North Qiong Sect was Chen Fan.
The entire North Qiong Sect was tied to Chen Fan alone.
Even if their headquarters was destroyed, even after losing many of their senior members, the North Qiong Sect would still be there as long as Chen Fan was alive. He represented one sect, one family!
That was Chen Fan’s power, the might of the top Overlord on Earth.
When Chen Fan’s enemies received the news, they were all terrified.
j.a.pan, Southeast Asia, Dragon Tiger Mountain, the Tantric Buddhism pract.i.tioners, the Maoshan Sect, the United States, the European Union, Egypt… Many forces were stunned. They focused all their attention on China, the Dong Jiang Province and Qingyang County.
A lot of powerful forces whispered.
“Chen Beixuan, this isn’t your world anymore. You might still be able to suppress those Dark Races in the past, but now they all have the support from their ‘home planets.’ Some supreme Overlords also came to Earth through different Paths of Heaven. The Golden Core Overlords will come to stop you if you try to do anything here.”
They were a bit worried about Chen Fan’s return, but not the least bit scared.
After all, the era had changed and Earth was also changing constantly. A Golden Core Cultivator wasn’t so special anymore. The top five Overlords in the world, like Azure Dragon, could also be killed by a nameless cultivator from the Sun Palace, meaning that those who dominated the planet weren’t the Overlords anymore, but the Dark Races and their Ancestral Patriarchs.
Not to mention—
There were super powerful forces like the Taichu Temple, the Wuji Arena, the Sun Palace and the Xuankong Sect, who were the real dominators of Earth, above the Dark Races.
Even so, they were still a bit wary.
A decade later.
Chen Fan’s power was indeed nothing. The world’s superpowers also had Golden Core Overlords right then. The United States and the European Union even had the support from the Dark Races; the Sect Masters and Ancestral Patriarchs of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the Maoshan Sect and the Tantric Buddhism people had also reached the Golden Core Level.
But that didn’t make them less fearful.
Ten years in the past, Chen Fan could already kill Golden Core Cultivators with a slash, so how powerful would he be at the moment?
Many people wanted to try him, but dared not to. Chen Fan had shown his determination for revenge since he returned. He killed eight Connate Overlords of the Dark Races at once, which was already the best declaration.
That day.
Chen Fan was like a dinosaur, rus.h.i.+ng into the eyes and ears of countless people on Earth, no matter if they cared about him or not.
Even the Taichu Temple, the Wuji Arena and the Sun Palace were keeping an eye on Chen Fan, the former top cultivator on the planet.
This day, the entire Earth focused on Chen Fan.
Meanwhile.
Chen Fan was flas.h.i.+ng out of Qin Yang County.
Although that dead alien didn’t finish its sentence, the “last disciple of the North Qiong Sect” it mentioned, it apparently wasn’t referring to Chen Yaoyao, but “Auntie Xiu.”
“A’Xiu, could it be you?”
Chen Fan thought as the viciousness in his eyes grew.
