The investigation results were like dropping a bomb directly into the already chaotic Extreme North!
For a moment.
A stone stirred a thousand waves!
Originally.
The many sects and families that wanted to intercept Ye Qingchen quickly withdrew their dispatched forces without hesitation, daring not to obstruct him any further.
Thus, Ye Qingchen’s path of pursuit became smooth once again.
"These damn bastards, boasting themselves to the heavens on ordinary days, but as soon as there’s real trouble, they’re quick to hide like turtles!"
Zhan Family.
Inside the great hall, Zhan Feng slammed the table with anger in his eyes.
He originally thought that these forces, even if they couldn’t kill Ye Qingchen, would at least make him flee desperately.
But who knew, those forces only managed to block Ye Qingchen for more than ten days. Fortunately, these ten days allowed him to escape safely back to the family.
"Great Elder, what should we do?"
The once full hall of Earth Immortals was now almost empty, as everyone turned pale at the news of Ye Qingchen killing his way forward. No one dared to stop him, which meant he would surely charge straight through next.
And the ancestor was still in seclusion, leaving them as the only ones to rely on.
"We mobilize all the family’s forces to completely stop him." Zhan Feng slammed the table and said fiercely, "I refuse to believe that gathering the Zhan Family’s thousands of years of heritage can’t annihilate him!"
Many Earth Immortals in the hall looked at each other.
Gathering all of the Zhan Family’s forces just to kill Ye Qingchen?
However.
Thinking of the battle at Ice City, the power Ye Qingchen displayed made everyone feel chills.
He must be killed!
...
Extreme North, Nu Bing City.
This city is the headquarters of the Zhan Family, and with Zhan Feng’s orders, Earth Immortal experts scattered across Southern Heaven rushed back to the family immediately. Everyone could feel the impending storm.
At this moment.
The Zhan Family’s millennial heritage finally revealed itself.
The entire Nu Bing City had turned into a fortress as solid as gold and iron. Along the way, there were eighteen defensive lines, each lined with arrays and traps.
It can be said.
The Zhan Family had put all its Earth Immortal Race’s thousand-year fortune and heritage on the line.
If Ye Qingchen couldn’t break through the Zhan Family, he would face their counterattacks. Likewise, if the Zhan Family couldn’t stop Ye Qingchen, this ancient Earth Immortal Race would be completely wiped out!
"Ahead is Nu Bing City!"
A hundred miles away.
Ye Qingchen stood with his hands clasped behind, gazing at the giant city ahead. Compared to Fallen Immortal City, it was like a rundown village; looking from afar, this city stretched for dozens of miles, with city walls more than ten feet high.
Countless runes flew up and down, forming a massive golden barrier, enveloping the entire Nu Bing City. From a distance, it was like a giant beast hiding in the snow and wind!
It gave a terrifying sense of oppression!
"My goodness, what’s going on with the Zhan Family? They’ve put everything on the line! Could it be that those old Earth Immortals have declared war on the Zhan Family? This is a major event unseen in the Extreme North for a thousand years!" Someone gazed at the Zhan Family’s overwhelming army and couldn’t help smacking his lips.
"Indeed, in my life, I’ve never seen the Zhan Family this prepared, as if facing a great enemy!" Another person lamented in awe of the sight.
However.
Some who knew the inside story shook their heads secretly:
"A bunch of boors, how could they know that all this is just because of Ye Qingchen!"
But.
Even these informed people were horrified.
They initially knew the Zhan Family was sweeping forth with overwhelming momentum to deal with Ye Qingchen, thinking success was assured. But who would’ve thought, they went out with confidence but came back looking miserable.
"Now, the Zhan Family is reacting, gathering millennial heritage, and betting all their forces. Even though Ye Qingchen is stronger, in front of this war fortress, he may have to retreat!"
Someone gazed at the army and nodded in agreement.
"Slaying over three hundred Earth Immortals, leaving no mercy on this path! If the Zhan Family doesn’t bet everything, they’re utterly foolish." An Earth Immortal exclaimed with hands crossed, unable to hide his sigh.
Though.
In battles between extreme path experts, ordinary Martial Artists can’t intervene, but for the Zhan Family, that doesn’t apply. This Earth Immortal Race has countless methods, and numerous devices and puppets that even Human Immortals can use to kill Earth Immortals.
"Ye Qingchen now wanting to invade the Zhan Family won’t be so easy!" Someone shook his head and sighed, "Now, in the hundred-mile radius outside Nu Bing City, it’s been cleared of wilderness. Anyone who enters this area will surely face an army, even Ye Qingchen would be obliterated instantly!"
"Isn’t that too exaggerated?"
Someone couldn’t help but marvel.
However, more people were eagerly waiting. They estimated Ye Qingchen would arrive here in three days. The reason these people gathered here was simply to see the outcome of this battle.
Will Ye Qingchen, this newly risen predator, step on the Zhan Family’s corpses to reach the Northern Peak? Or will the Zhan Family crush Ye Qingchen under absolute might?
"At this point, I think Ye Qingchen might not dare come anymore!" An Earth Immortal stared ahead, shaking his head, "The Zhan Family’s array is truly terrifying! If it were me, I wouldn’t last a quarter of an hour!"
"A quarter of an hour? Look at the siege weapons along the way! Those bed crossbows are all made from the corpses of demon beasts, and each crossbow arrow takes half a year for Array Masters to create. A Human Immortal would die upon touching it! No Earth Immortal can cross this killing ground!"
An Earth Immortal sneered coldly, "If I were him, I’d retreat back to Fallen Immortal City right now. His journey has already made him famous, continuing further, will only bring harm and no benefit!"
In the crowd.
Ye Qingchen stood with his hands clasped behind, gazing at Nu Bing City like a giant beast lying down, ready to leap up and devour people.
"The Zhan Family is forcing me to stop with their thousand-year heritage!"
"But I won’t! I want to kill my way through and show the world the cost of besieging Ye Qingchen! Otherwise, any Earth Immortal Race will freely attack me in the future?"
His mind flashed.
Under his eyes, a cold gleam appeared, and he walked forward openly, heading toward Nu Bing City.
And what he faced was the Earth Immortal Race that had been rooted in the Extreme North for thousands of years!
