The three Supre Elders looked at each other, their faces grim and sowhat frightening.
The forces within the Cultivation World are layered, yet today, Xu Fan single-handedly wiped out the lowest layer of this pyramid!
The Taoist sect stands high above, but with the foundation below it gone, it has beco a castle in the air. How can it continue to look down on others?
This realization made the three Supre Elders' faces turn ashen.
"Xu Fan! Do you even know what you've done!?"
"Tens of thousands of cultivators in the entire Huaxia Cultivation World! All major Hidden World Families in Huaxia have been slaughtered to extinction by you! Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for committing such massacres?!"
For so reason, Ming De's righteous reprimand carried a hint of tremble.
Originally, the three Supre Elders personally descended, without any concerns, needing no preparation, intending to kill Xu Fan directly.
However, at this mont, despite their unwavering confidence, none of the three dared to be the first to make a move against Xu Fan.
The bizarre deaths of dozens of Family Heads not only failed to reveal Xu Fan's trump card to the three Supre Elders but also made them more cautious of Xu Fan. Yet, they had co with disdain for bringing any attendants…
Therefore, the three exchanged a glance and decided to engage in a verbal confrontation with Xu Fan first.
Of course, the three Supre Elders wouldn't admit their reluctance to make a move was due to fear; they frad it as prudence, aiming to test Xu Fan's capabilities. Should Xu Fan reveal any flaw, the three would strike with rciless might, leaving no chance for Xu Fan to survive!
Drip, drip.
Blood converged into rivers, flowing under a cloud of bloody mist, blanketing the entire suburb. There was not the slightest breeze, and the sun, struggling through the thick clouds, could no longer pierce the blood mist, making the air within exceptionally chilling.
Xu Fan, who had been standing with arms crossed indifferently, finally raised his head, casting a cold gaze upon the three Supre Elders before him.
"Divine retribution? If sothing like divine retribution existed, the five Immortal Mountains of the Taoist sect would have been struck down to nothing long ago, wouldn't they?"
The three Supre Elders watched Xu Fan, while Xu Fan also observed them. Though Xu Fan had indeed previously defeated a strong opponent in the Mysterious Light Realm, facing three Supre Elders from the sa sect made Xu Fan uncertain.
Moreover, events of today weren't what Xu Fan had ever intended to see.
Xu Fan didn't want to kill, but those people stubbornly blocked his path, seeking to claim his head for a bounty from the Taoist sect, forcing Xu Fan to draw his blade.
But ultimately, the one truly responsible for this calamity wasn't Xu Fan; it was the Taoist sect!
"Thief! Insolent knave! You deny the murders you've committed? Not only do you refuse to admit it, but you even want to pin it on our Taoist sect?"
"Xu Fan! Such thick skin you have!"
Verbal battles are not about openly trading insults but about overwhelming the opponent in montum to seize an absolute advantage from the onset of combat. Ming De evidently mastered this art.
"Xu Fan! You've committed acts that outrage both humans and gods! There will be no place in Huaxia to shelter you anymore!"
"A detestable soul like you, still alive, for what purpose? Why not draw your sword and cut your own throat to atone?"
Ming Yun and Ming Xin also began to rebuke one after another, trying their utmost to demoralize Xu Fan and defeat him without battle.
"Silence!"
The stern shout resounded, leaving the three Supre Elders montarily stunned.
Before coming to kill Xu Fan, they had done their howork and hence considered themselves to have a thorough understanding of him.
Cunning! Vicious! Patient! Like a viper, or a lone wolf, capable of striking lethally!
These were the evaluations given by the five Supre Elders based on Xu Fan's previous performances.
Yet, the three Supre Elders never expected the always patient Xu Fan would now be visibly upset, even showing a hint of instability.
This…
The three exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of joy, realizing their words seed to have had a great effect! Xu Fan, albeit mature beyond his years, was still just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old lad!
If they made Xu Fan lose his rationality, everything would beco much simpler! They might not even need to use that thing to easily kill Xu Fan!
"Xu Fan! What now? Are you enraged out of sha?"
"Cold-blooded while killing, like a demon lord; now that the massacre is done, why fear being accused?"
"The Huaxia Cultivation World is destroyed by you alone! The fate of countless people changed because of you! If you don't perish, nurous wronged souls might haunt you day and night! Now, we give you a chance! End your life and atone to the world!"
Even as the three Supre Elders spoke relentlessly with venomous words flowing, they kept a keen eye on Xu Fan's deanor.
Suddenly, the eloquent trio abruptly stopped, as they noticed Xu Fan's expression had turned terrifyingly cold.
"Heh, giving a chance to end myself, atone to the world—Taoist sect, truly rciful, worthy of being a noble sect!"
Xu Fan's voice, as if freshly fished out from an ice cellar, carried not only an icy chill but also a piercing murderous intent.
It should be known that Xu Fan had just personally slaughtered over ten thousand loose cultivators! This overwhelming murderous intent had unconsciously seeped into his every move, and the inadvertent exposure of it was enough to chill ordinary people's hearts to death.
Moreover, having cultivated the Beast Taming Art, Xu Fan carried an inherently terrifying aura, which even now intimidated the three Supre Elders.
Xu Fan's angry voice, like a maggot clinging to bones, drilled into the ears of the three Supre Elders.
"The Huaxia Cultivation World consists of three major sects. The Taoist sect, though just one, acts with ruthless dominance, issuing indiscriminate kill orders without concern for the greater community of cultivators."
"Indeed, it was by my hand that thousands of loose cultivators and nurous Hidden World Families were slain, but ultimately, the fault lies with the Taoist sect!"
"Under the kill orders, if the Hidden World Families had remained inactive or the loose cultivators turned a blind eye, what awaited them? Surely, you know better than I!"
"It's precisely because of the Taoist sect's tyranny that they were forced to die! Even if it wasn't at my hand today, sooner or later, they would have faced the sa fate!"
"All of this… was the Taoist sect's doing! Clearly the root of all evil, yet you have the audacity to bring the dead here and twist the facts! You don't even possess the basic humanity to feel sorrow!"
This was what infuriated Xu Fan the most!
As one of the three major sects of the Huaxia Cultivation World, the Taoist sect showed no sign of anguish over such dire circumstances. To them, only their goals mattered.
Such people aren't even worthy of basic human dignity! Yet now, they were Supre Elders of the lofty Taoist sect!
How could one not be enraged by this?
