Empress Cliff in Peril, Five Senior Sisters, and the Eradication of the Hundred Refinements Ancestor

At that moment.

In White Emperor Province lay a tranquil place of cultivation, Empress Cliff.

Its mountain peaks stretched for ten thousand miles, with delightful scenery. The tallest and largest mountain among them was Empress Cliff.

Yet now, signs of battle rose everywhere.

Jiang Luoli, Great Emperor Xuanji's chief disciple, held a treasured sword, with several fellow disciples beside her.

Her gaze rested on the arrivals.

"All you sects, what is the meaning of this siege against our Empress Cliff!"

She questioned them coldly.

These forces all came from around Empress Cliff, some strong and some weak. Now that their master's whereabouts were unknown, they were responsible for managing and protecting Empress Cliff.

How could they tolerate outsiders provoking them!

The old man at their head was a Saint Realm expert from the saint-level Hundred Refinements Sect. Hearing her words, he laughed heartily.

"Great Emperor Xuanji has reincarnated. To cultivate back to the Great Emperor Realm will take countless years. Now, naturally, this blessed land belongs to whoever has the ability to claim it!" He stood high above them, looking down on ants.

The people beside him, several hundred experts in all, sneered as well.

Jiang Luoli's expression shifted slightly.

"Aren't you afraid our Empress Cliff will take revenge in the future!"

She made a veiled threat. Empress Cliff did not really count as a faction.

Their master had only these disciples, who cultivated in peace without contending with the world.

But with their cultivation, they were absolutely no match for a Saint Realm expert! Not to mention, there were more than a dozen Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts among these people!

"So what if you seek revenge?" The old man's gaze grew much colder. "By the time she returns, seas will have turned to mulberry fields. Besides, cultivation is no easy matter. She may not even return..."

"Attack!" With that, he gave the order.

The several hundred experts beside him had no intention of fighting one-on-one and swarmed forward.

Jiang Luoli knew a great battle was unavoidable.

Gritting her teeth, she said, "Junior sisters, form the array with me! We defend Empress Cliff to the death!"

"Yes, Senior Sister." The other four women beside her did not hesitate at all.

Then they rose into the air.

Working together, they soon brought a great array down over the mountain.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes flickering. "A mere mountain-protecting array. Let's see how long you can hold out!"

The next instant, he had already passed the crowd.

A palm descended from the sky, striking the array.

Boom.

With just one strike from a Sage, the array's presence had nearly fallen into disorder, its foundations destabilized.

Jiang Luoli's gaze remained resolute as she and her junior sisters desperately held on.

The array their master had left them could withstand a Sage, but it could hardly withstand this many people!

But their master could not return. If they failed to protect Empress Cliff, they would have no face to go on living.

Their master had been gone for twenty years. The only unexpected thing now was that these people actually dared invade Empress Cliff without any scruples!

But their master had also left them a fallback. If they could not protect it, they could only let jade and stone perish together!

The old man's gaze grew considerably more solemn.

No Great Emperor could be underestimated. Even though she had already reincarnated, what she left behind was still a difficult obstacle for them.

"Experts at the Dao Palace Realm and above, join this old man in breaking this array!"

At his words, more than twenty experts rose into the air.

They certainly did not dare be careless when dealing with Empress Cliff. Those sent were all experts from prominent forces.

"Strike together!" he shouted.

Their combined power made the earth quake and the mountains shake.

And that was with Empress Cliff being a truly extraordinary blessed land. Otherwise, the entire mountain could have been destroyed in an instant.

This is bad. Jiang Luoli sensed disaster.

Boom.

The next instant, the array began to shatter, and the disciples were blasted backward.

In an instant, they fell into despair, their hearts like dead ashes.

"Hahahaha! So much for that." The old man laughed wildly.

Because this gave him an immense sense of accomplishment.

Suddenly-

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Fan stood soundlessly beside the old man and offered his fellow Daoist a greeting.

His senior sisters had been beaten up.

"I..." The old man answered instinctively, then his expression changed drastically. He immediately pulled away. "Who are you!"

He watched Chen Fan warily, his heart trembling. This man was strong! Otherwise, even he would not have failed to notice him!

At this sudden turn of events, the other experts also looked over.

Caught off guard, Jiang Luoli and the others looked at Chen Fan. Who was he...?

"Senior Sister." The junior sister beside her was bewildered. Should they use their master's imperial seal and let jade and stone perish together?

"Let's watch first," Jiang Luoli replied.

Chen Fan stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Who am I? Naturally, the one who's going to take your lives!"

Then his expression turned cold. They had ruined his good mood. Not one of them would leave!

The old man's eyes flickered, as though trying to see through Chen Fan's cultivation, but it was shrouded in mist. He probed, "I am the Hundred Refinements Sect's ancestor. Might there be some misunderstanding, Your Excellency...?"

"Great Emperor Xuanji's youngest disciple, Chen Fan!" With that, Chen Fan released his imperial might. Mere ants-he could not even be bothered to lift a hand.

Great Emperor Xuanji had this disciple too? While everyone was still bewildered, the terrifying pressure made their expressions change drastically!

"It's you!" The Hundred Refinements Ancestor could not believe it. He had heard that Great Emperor Xuanji had a laughable disciple from some small Lineage.

"The Great Emperor Realm..." Yet after sensing Chen Fan's cultivation, even his voice went hoarse.

How could he be at the Emperor Realm! How old was he, anyway? Who the hell knew!

Run.

He could not spare a thought for why. This was his only thought.

The many Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts reacted extremely quickly. Run! Don't ask why. Just follow the Hundred Refinements Ancestor and flee.

"Little Junior Brother?" Jiang Luoli and the others' heads buzzed. Chen Fan? Could he be the three-year-old...

Looking at that handsome figure... how was that possible?

"Since you dared invade our Empress Cliff, stay here!" Chen Fan reached out with one hand.

The Hundred Refinements Ancestor had no way to escape his clutches. Besides, beneath imperial might, all were ants.

He watched helplessly as that imperial palm grabbed toward him. "A misunderstanding, Great Emperor! It's all a misunderstanding..."

Terror, like plunging into an abyss. Who the hell knew Empress Cliff had another Great Emperor, and Great Emperor Xuanji's disciple at that? It was like a joke!

"Die!" Chen Fan uttered the word coldly, instantly crushing the Hundred Refinements Ancestor into a mist of blood, destroying his soul utterly.

As the Hundred Refinements Ancestor vanished without even ashes remaining, everyone's hearts pounded wildly, including Jiang Luoli and the others.

Chen Fan showed not the slightest mercy.

Beneath his imperial might, every fleeing expert burst into clouds of blood mist.

Like crimson fireworks, they spread into dust.

Then they began to dissipate.

Jiang Luoli and the others watched it happen, the sight delivering an immense shock to their nerves.

Their three-year-old junior brother had been gone for so long...

And now this? A Great Emperor! Casually erasing a Saint Realm expert! That was a Sage!

Surely this was fake? He was already this powerful!

Their hearts trembled unceasingly.

After doing all this, Chen Fan turned to look at his five senior sisters.

"Senior Sisters, long time no see."

Jiang Luoli and the others could not believe it. It really was Chen Fan!

"Little Junior Brother?" Was this still their good-for-nothing junior brother?

Of course, back then, they would not have picked a fight with a three-year-old junior brother.

It was just that their junior brother's Lineage background was poor, and he lacked the necessary resources in every respect. They did not know why their master had accepted him.

But thinking about it, with their master reincarnating, their junior brother was rather pitiful too.

Chen Fan smiled. "Senior Sister, it's me, Chen Fan."

"Husband..." Just then, Ling Qingcheng arrived riding the Imperial Qilin.

She had no choice. She could not hold her Great Emperor husband back, so she had watched from afar. Only after seeing that everything was resolved did she hurry over.

Jiang Luoli and the others jumped in fright. What a powerful demonic beast! After hearing that form of address, they all froze again.

Husband?

They even turned to look at Ling Qingcheng...

Chen Fan hurriedly offered a reminder. "Senior Sisters, you wouldn't want Empress Cliff to be left undefended either, would you?"
