Chapter 219: Terrifying Power!

At this moment, Gu Fan had already been the first to flee far away. However, he was in no hurry. Even if he wasn’t fast enough, he could simply traverse another world to evade the crisis and return afterward.

The next moment, a thunderous explosion erupted, and a terrifying mushroom cloud rose above the Jia Residence!

Following that, a horrifying shockwave and surge of energy leveled the entire Jia Residence to the ground. The surrounding families were also obliterated in an instant.

At this moment, a terrifying aura appeared in the center of the city.

“Impudent! Who dares to wreak havoc in my Tianyun City!”

As the shout fell, a stream of light shot over, unleashing a terrifying might that exceeded the boundaries of the Solar Radiance Realm.

But when he saw the aura of destruction sweeping over due to the explosion, he could only curse loudly before urgently shouting:

“Old Qingshun, come help me now!”

The Tianyun City Lord formed a hand seal with both hands. Torrents of Mysterious Power surged forth as if costless, trying to resist the endlessly expanding shockwave and explosion.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to run. If he did, half of Tianyun City might be destroyed!

If he could contain it now, then by consequence, he’d also suppress the Jia Family’s entire faction. He had to minimize the losses!

At that moment, a voice rang out:

“Tianyun, hold on, I’ll help you!”

The next instant, a white-haired old man appeared in the sky. With a wave of the horsetail whisk in his hand, two streaks of green brilliance struck forth, blocking the destruction from spreading on the other side.

At this time, several members of the Qiu Family who had barely escaped the core blast zone turned around with terrified and despairing expressions as they looked back at the Jia Residence.

Qiu Hanyan’s legs went completely weak from fear. That wave of energy just now—if even the slightest trace had touched her—she would have been reduced to nothing but bones!

“Madman! That guy’s a total lunatic!”

Qiu Daoqi also wiped a cold sweat, gazing at the ruins where the Jia Residence had been completely consumed, his heart filled with lingering fear.

Gu Fan was truly a raving madman. Over a hundred members of the Huang Family in Tianyun City had already been annihilated, and now most of the Jia Residence had been obliterated as well.

Even if there were survivors, they’d only be a few from collateral branches—doomed to decline.

And the cause of all this? Just because Jia Bing had tried to kill him!

In the distance, the Tianyun City Lord and Elder Qingshun gritted their teeth furiously. Only after exhausting eighty percent of their Mysterious Power did they finally manage to suppress that one explosion!

Meanwhile, Gu Fan simply stood quietly at the side, showing no intention of fleeing.

When he saw the two Celestial Heart Realm Experts approach him after wrapping up, he quickly smiled and said:

“Esteemed seniors possess unmatched strength, saving the lives of this entire city!”

Tianyun’s face turned pitch black. He raised his hand, about to suppress Gu Fan for a thorough reprimand.

But Gu Fan instead pulled out another black, oval iron orb and weighed it casually in his hand.

His expression was extremely relaxed.

“Senior, please don’t be impulsive. I have plenty of these. I just wonder—can you block one? Or two? Or ten? Maybe a hundred?”

Tianyun’s expression instantly froze. This object was the very same artifact that had caused the explosion earlier—he didn’t dare take the gamble!

Elder Qingshun then stepped forward with a smile, stopping Tianyun and offering him an out:

“Tianyun, it wasn’t entirely this junior’s fault. Although it nearly caused a catastrophe, thankfully we managed to contain it.”

Hearing this, Tianyun followed the lead and let it go.

“Young man, your methods are far too ruthless and bloodstained. Be careful—it might affect your future cultivation! You could develop a Heart Demon!”

Gu Fan grinned and said:

“Thank you for the advice, senior. But all those I’ve killed deserved to die. The Jia Residence had to be wiped out!”

At this point, the Tianyun City Lord no longer dwelled on the matter. As for the losses… he would simply have to shoulder them himself.

At that moment, Qiu Hanyan stepped forward and saluted:

“Greetings, City Lord. Greetings, Teacher!”

Qiu Daoqi also saluted the two. Just then, Gu Fan seized the opportunity and said:

“Fairy Hanyan, since your teacher is present, why not take this chance to introduce me?”

Elder Qingshun was momentarily stunned, casting a puzzled glance toward his disciple.

Qiu Hanyan had no choice but to explain the general course of events to her teacher, then waited for Elder Qingshun’s response.

Elder Qingshun scrutinized Gu Fan briefly, his expression revealing surprise.

This fellow could actually manipulate Degenerate Energy?

However, he didn’t question it directly. Instead, he nodded in agreement and said:

“In that case, little friend, return to the Qiu Family with me. I will properly diagnose your friend’s condition.”

Gu Fan nodded courteously and saluted, then followed the Qiu Family members back into the residence.

Only this time, Qiu Hanyan no longer dared to yell at Gu Fan. This man had just obliterated the Jia Residence with a mere wave of his hand—he wasn’t some Mister Gu, more like Old Demon Gu!

Thinking back on her previous actions, Qiu Hanyan felt some regret. She had missed the chance to form a closer bond with him.

Had Gu Fan known her thoughts, he would’ve sighed at how people from great clans always prioritized profit in their first thoughts.

After everyone returned to the Qiu Family, the Tianyun City Lord remained at the ruins of the Jia Residence to handle the aftermath.

Looking over the scene of devastation, Tianyun couldn’t help but take in a sharp breath.

“This destructive power… if I had taken a direct hit, I’d likely be seriously wounded or even near death.”

As he spoke, he rubbed his brow.

Where in the world had such a monster come from? Even the prodigies of the Sacred Domain couldn’t possibly wield such terrifying destructive power, right?

As for the offensive magical tool Gu Fan had used, he couldn’t figure out what it was.

Besides Mysterious Power, it seemed to contain another force—something both familiar and alien…

Could it be Degenerate Energy?

The Tianyun City Lord fell into deep thought.

Inside the Qiu Family’s Side Courtyard, Elder Qingshun and Gu Fan were in the room examining Ruo Xi’s condition.

Sensing the wound on Ruo Xi’s Divine Soul, Elder Qingshun furrowed his brows tightly, finally letting out a sigh and saying:

“This child’s Divine Soul was devoured and torn by an extremely vicious technique. The fact that her condition has stabilized is already quite remarkable.”

“Judging by the signs, you must have used some sort of Divine Soul-type treasure to stabilize her. Otherwise, things would’ve deteriorated further.”

Gu Fan understood he was referring to the Tianhai Spirit Ginseng and nodded, then asked:

“Senior, is there a way to heal her?”

Elder Qingshun stroked his beard and replied:

“There is, but the problem is—you might not succeed.”

“Please speak, senior.”

Gu Fan cupped his fists in salute. Ruo Xi had ended up like this because of him—he had to save her!

Only then could he leave this realm with peace of mind.

He had a hunch that once he left this realm, it would be the day his Heart Demon erupted. If Ruo Xi’s matter wasn’t resolved by then, it would be difficult to withstand!

Elder Qingshun sighed.

“The Sacred Domain.”

“The Sacred Domain?”

“That’s right. If you want to save her, you must bring her to the Sacred Domain. Within the Sacred Domain is a sect called the Divine Soul Sect. Their research into the Divine Soul path is profound. If they are willing to help, this type of injury shouldn’t be a problem.”

“But they’re not exactly the kind to be reasoned with easily. If you want them to save someone, it won’t be simple. You must be prepared.”

“Furthermore… the Sacred Domain isn’t so easy to enter.”

Gu Fan reached out and took out a token, asking:

“Can this item allow me to enter the Sacred Domain?”

Elder Qingshun’s eyes flickered, revealing astonishment.

“Indeed, this item is related to the Sacred Domain. Holding this does give you a chance to enter the Sacred Domain!”

“However, whether this item is a blessing or a curse is uncertain. If I’m not mistaken… you’ve already been marked, haven’t you?”
