CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 295: HEADING TO THE WEST EMPEROR PALACE

Song Siyu and the people from the West Emperor Palace moved forward, and Luo Qingyan no longer obstructed them. Since Li Fan had already executed those Song Family cultivators, the matter was settled.

Li Fan was not the type to kill indiscriminately and would not implicate the entire Song Family. Killing Song Xiang and these cultivators who sheltered Song Boling was enough; the decline of the Song Family was inevitable.

Song Siyu came to Song Xiang’s corpse, her eyes bloodshot. She raised her eyes to look at Li Fan, wondering how he dared to slaughter her Song Family like this.

Yet, she saw Li Fan looking at her indifferently, his gaze calm, just like when Song Siyu looked at him in the past. Recalling that day, Song Siyu realized that Li Fan had never regarded her, the so-called Heavenly Pride Girl of the West Emperor Palace, with any significance.

He even dared to kill Nan Zhengchuan.

"There’s no need to look at me like that. If your Song Family had not relied on power to bully others and handled things differently, it wouldn’t have come to this." Li Fan said casually.

"You killed Nan Zhengchuan and then returned to West Emperor Island to kill my Song Family members. How dare you do such a thing?" Song Siyu said, staring fixedly at Li Fan. She couldn’t quite understand; even though he had the merits of that battle, how could he act so recklessly?

This West Emperor Island, after all, was still ruled by the West Emperor Palace.

"I act on behalf of the heavens; what’s there to fear." Li Fan replied.

"What a righteous act on behalf of the heavens." At this moment, a voice came from afar. The crowd turned and saw a group of imposing figures approaching. The leading figure was dressed in a golden robe with sharp eyes, an aura of pressure emanating from him, making everyone in the area feel oppressed.

"Elder Nan." The people around murmured, thinking that Yang Qingshan might be in trouble.

"Elder Nan." The people of the West Emperor Palace all bowed in salute. The newcomer was the captain of the law enforcement team of the West Emperor Palace, Nan Chen, who had already met Li Fan during the previous battle with the demons.

Nan Chen walked forward, the pressure from his aura falling on Luo Qingyan, Meng Hong, and others, making them feel as if they were locked by an invisible force, an oppressive force bearing down on their bodies, giving them an extremely uncomfortable and almost suffocating sensation.

Nan Chen was a Sixth Realm Dao Body cultivator. For such a Great Cultivator, erasing them might only be a matter of thought.

Luo Qingyan did not dare to act arrogantly in front of Nan Chen and stood quietly.

Nan Chen walked past them, step by step, towards where Li Fan was, the same oppressive aura also falling on Li Fan. Li Fan felt an invisible pressure enveloping him, a feeling he hadn’t experienced when facing the Sixth Realm Jiao Dragon.

Reaching the Dao Body Realm, one already ranked among the Great Cultivators.

"This West Emperor Island needs you to act on behalf of the heavens? Without knowing, one might think you are the master of this West Emperor Island." Nan Chen glanced at the Song Family members who had been killed below and looked at Li Fan, "Even if you have the merits of that battle, is it your reason for reckless slaughter?"

His tone seemed calm, yet he exuded an unyielding authority, his aura locking onto Li Fan, pressing down on him.

Li Fan stared directly at Nan Chen, his gaze like a sword, replying, "A Sword Dao cultivator, slaying demons, purging not only demons but also the evil within humans. The Song Family deserved to die, so naturally, they were killed. As for your son, Nan Zhengchuan, who shielded the Song Family and targeted me without investigating the reason, he also deserved to die. If Elder Nan wishes to avenge him, you may say so directly, no need to pressure me with righteousness."

"Insolent..." Nan Chen angrily rebuked, a violent aura sweeping out like an invisible giant hand pressing down on Li Fan.

"This guy!" The people around quivered upon hearing Li Fan’s words. This Sword Cultivator was truly gutsy, standing strong even in front of the West Emperor Palace’s Law Enforcement Captain.

Was he not worried Nan Chen would kill him outright?

Luo Qingyan and Meng Hong stepped forward, somewhat displeased with Nan Chen. This old man relied on his seniority, but others didn’t know; they were aware that Li Fan had killed an old Sixth Realm Jiao Dragon on Jiao Demon Island, his Sword Intent able to intimidate the Jiao Dragon.

Now they understood Li Fan’s background was immense, Nan Chen wanting to pressure Li Fan with force was obviously futile.

"Your son Nan Zhengchuan, aiming to please a Song Family girl, intended to kill me without asking why. Was I wronged?" Li Fan continued to look at Nan Chen calmly, "Elder Nan wants to avenge Nan Zhengchuan? This West Emperor Island, does the West Emperor Palace call the shots, or do you, Elder Nan?"

Nan Chen’s eyes, like an abyss, stared at Li Fan. Using the West Emperor Palace to pressure him?

"I manage the West Emperor Palace’s law enforcement team. On this West Emperor Island, matters of crime are under my jurisdiction. You slaughtered the Song Family members, and yet you dare remain so righteous. Since you accuse me of favoring my own, then I will take you to the West Emperor Palace and publicly decide how to deal with you. Do you have any objections?"

Nan Chen stared at Li Fan. Now this matter had escalated, and everyone on West Emperor Island was watching. Plus, with Li Fan’s previous victory over demons, even he found it difficult to openly execute Li Fan under such circumstances, as that might provoke dissatisfaction from the cultivators on West Emperor Island, and there would be many voices from the West Emperor Palace as well.

Therefore, even though he wanted to execute Li Fan on the spot, he couldn’t kill him.

"I, too, want to see the West Emperor Palace." Li Fan responded. In the West Sea regions, he had already broken through to the Solidifying Pill stage, returning to West Emperor Island to slay demons.

Moreover, there was a matter regarding Lu Yuan’s heritage; he wondered if the Moon Palace would be accessible.

The West Emperor Palace now shouldered the banner of demon slaying on the island; cultivators from the sea regions and inland were coming to support, making it a period of converging storms.

He wanted to see what the West Emperor Palace’s attitude would be toward a ’meritorious’ demon slayer like him.

Li Fan had no concern about potential danger. Not to mention having the protection of Seven Realm Sword Intent; this West Emperor Palace is not like a loose cultivator, but an actual power stationed here. If they really wanted to act against him, all he needed to do was reveal his identity as a Li Mountain Sword Cultivator. Would the West Emperor Palace really dare to make a move against him?

Song Siyu looked up at Li Fan, her eyes filled with the flames of hatred. Then to the West Emperor Palace, she also wanted to see how the West Emperor Palace would deal with this Sword Cultivator who killed her father, Nan Zhengchuan, and many Song Family members.

"Elder Nan, will you lead the way?" Li Fan said indifferently, his tone light and casual, seemingly unaffected by the pressure exerted by Nan Chen. Such an attitude surprised the surrounding cultivators; this exceptionally talented Sword Cultivator possessed an extraordinary confidence.

He gave them the illusion that Li Fan did not regard Nan Chen, a Sixth Realm Great Cultivator, at all.

For the vast majority of cultivators on West Emperor Island, a Great Cultivator like Nan Chen, the Law Enforcement Captain of the West Emperor Palace, was seldom seen, let alone confronted with such composure.

In this light, this Sword Cultivator had likely seen big scenes.

It seemed he had quite an impressive background.

"Your son, Nan Zhengchuan, desired to kill me to please Song Family’s girl, without even asking the reason. How is that anything I should apologize for?" Li Fan continued to look calmly at Nan Chen and said, "Does Elder Nan want to avenge Nan Zhengchuan? Is it truly the West Emperor Palace that calls the shots on West Emperor Island, or is it you who calls the shots, Elder Nan?"

Nan Chen’s eyes were as deep as an abyss as he stared at Li Fan, questioning if using the West Emperor Palace was a means to press him?

"I am in charge of the West Emperor Palace’s Law Enforcement Team. On this West Emperor Island, I am in charge of matters of crime. You killed the Song Family members wantonly and yet dare to act so righteous. Since you claim I am unjust and partial, I will have you taken to the West Emperor Palace for an open decision on how to deal with you. Do you have any objections?"

Nan Chen stared at Li Fan, the matter causing an uproar on West Emperor Island, and everyone was watching. Despite Li Fan’s previous combat achievements against the demon, even Nan Chen found it difficult to openly execute Li Fan under such a situation, as it might arouse discontent among the Cultivators on the West Emperor Island and also attract many voices from the West Emperor Palace.

So, even if he wanted to execute Li Fan on the spot, he couldn’t do so.

"It so happens that I want to take a look at the West Emperor Palace." Li Fan responded. Having broken through to the Solidifying Pill in the West Sea area and returned to West Emperor Island to slay demons.

Additionally, there is a matter regarding Lu Yuan’s background, which he wondered if he could explore at the Moon Palace.

Now that the West Emperor Palace has raised the banner to slay demons on the island, he wanted to see their attitude toward this Cavalier of Li Mountain who killed her father, Nan Zhengchuan, and many Song Family members.
