Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1010 - Chen Fan’s Rage

Ji Clan’s manor, the imperial city, the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation:

Though the Ji Clan had not personally intervened in the imperial palace’s upheaval, they had witnessed every moment unfold from afar. The Legendary realm expert from the Ji Clan laughed out loud and said, “Spectacular, truly spectacular.”

Initially, it seemed inevitable that the sovereign faction would collapse under both internal rebellion and external threats. With countless experts storming the imperial palace to force Zhuge Qingfeng’s abdication, his downfall appeared certain. Even if he resisted, it was assumed he would perish.

But reality had taken a far different course.

Zhuge Qingfeng’s blood poison was purged, and his strength had recovered to its peak.

In that decisive battle, he unleashed divine might, slaying over ten Legendary realm experts and single-handedly reversing the game.

Lei Dongtian had schemed extensively, orchestrating what seemed like a flawless plan. Yet in the end, all his calculations amounted to nothing. Not only did he suffer a crushing defeat, but he was also forced to scurry back to the Sun Moon Divine Sect in disgrace. It was certain that he would not escape punishment for this failure.

The sheer spectacle of it all left even the most seasoned experts stunned.

Beside the elder, Ji Hanyou’s eyes also flickered with extraordinary splendor.

The imperial palace battle had been nothing short of earth-shattering. The terrifying clash between apex Legendary realm experts had unleashed countless phenomena, shaking the entire imperial city.

Zhuge Qingfeng was too strong, or rather, now that his strength had fully returned, there were few in the Invincible Legendary realm who could stand against him.

First, he killed Prince Jing, Prince Qi, and the others overwhelmingly. Then, Lei Dongtian joined seven Greater Legendary realm experts to besiege Zhuge Qingfeng, but Zhuge slew five alone, leaving the last three gravely injured.

Even though Zhuge Qingfeng was covered in blood and was also heavily injured, how many people could match the grace he’d displayed?

As expected of the sovereign of a ten-thousand-year-ancient nation, his presence was truly unparalleled.

“He truly is worthy of being a sovereign of a generation. Such unparalleled grace.” Ji Hanyou sighed in admiration.

They were of noble birth, being core descendants of the Ji Clan, especially someone like Ji Hanyou who had been groomed as a future head of the clan. Ordinary Legendary realm experts simply could not enter her eyes.

In this battle, however, Zhuge Qingfeng had earned the respect of her lofty heart.

The strong were always admired. And feared.

That Legendary realm expert also nodded and said, “That’s right. Even in our Ji Clan, Zhuge Qingfeng could rank among the top three, an existence second only to Void Immortal behemoths.”

“Lei Dongtian and his group... What a joke! They schemed, they plotted, believing their plan flawless... only to end up with nothing. Not only did they fail, but they lost their own men and had to flee in disgrace.”

“Elder, the Sun Moon Divine Sect suffered such a huge loss this time, would they let things go just like that?” asked someone.

The middle-aged Legendary realm expert said, “The Sun Moon Divine Sect only turned a blind eye to this because Lei Dongtian masterminded this whole operation for Yuan Shasheng. If he had succeeded, they could tolerate it. But since he failed? Hoho... Zhuge Mingyue is a Peerless Peak freak. No matter how furious the Sun Moon Divine Sect is, their wrath will fall solely on Lei Dongtian.”

“Alright, this show is over, and we’re done watching. It’s time for us to fulfill our duty.”

Without another word, he led Ji Hanyou and the others into the sky, their figures streaking toward the imperial palace.

The imperial palace:

Although the experts had retreated and the rebellion had been quelled, the devastation in the surroundings bore clear testament to the brutal battle that had just taken place.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Zhuge Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and looked to the distance ahead. A powerful aura surged from him as he stood up and shouted, “Who goes there?”

Chen Fan and the others instantly turned their gazes forward.

From the distant horizon, a group streaked toward them at alarming speed. Someone among them radiated a Legendary realm aura, shaking heaven and earth.

A new threat? Has some force, unwilling to accept defeat, seized this moment to strike?

The group crossed a great distance in the blink of an eye, halting at the edge of the imperial palace.

“Hoho, Ji Clan’s Ji Ye offers his congratulations to Your Majesty on quelling the internal rebellion and repelling powerful foes from beyond. What unparalleled grace.” A bright voice came, shaking the void. The speaker was that middle-aged Legendary realm expert from the Ji Clan.

The Ji Clan!

Chen Fan and the others narrowed their gazes.

Among the nine overlord-class forces—the three great clans and six supreme sects—the Ji Clan stood as one of the mightiest. Ruling the eastern territories of the central continent through the Great Jin Imperial Court, their influence was vast, and their reputation unmatched.

But what were they doing here now?

Did they, too, have designs on the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation?

Different thoughts flashed in the people’s hearts.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan’s eyes gleamed coldly as he scrutinized Ji Ye and his entourage.

“Hoho, you’re too polite, Brother Ji Ye. What brings you to my imperial palace? Do you also intend to compete with me?” Zhuge Qingfeng’s voice shook heaven and earth, emitting a royal might as he looked at Ji Ye.

Ji Ye smiled and said, “Your Majesty jests. I’ve merely come to deliver an invitation.”

“Deliver an invitation?”

Ji Ye waved his arm. An invitation flew over to Zhuge Qingfeng, and he said, “In three months, our clan’s pride of heaven, Qin Yao, will be wed to the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s pride of heaven, Beishan Hong. We would be honored if Your Majesty graced the occasion with your presence.”

Suddenly, a violent aura erupted. Chen Fan stepped forward, his eyes blazing with fury. He stared at Ji Ye intensely, his eyes nearing popping out, and he roared furiously, “What! What did you say?”

Chen Fan’s sudden outburst surprised everyone present.

Even Ji Ye momentarily faltered before calmly repeating, “Three months later, on the eighth day of the tenth month, our Qin Yao will marry Beishan Hong. If you gentlemen from the Peerless Peak have the time, you may accompany the sovereign to the Phoenix Stage.” [1]

“Marry?!” A terrifying storm of energy surged from Chen Fan. The entire hall trembled under his wrath.

“You people are making Senior Sister marry Beishan Hong or whatever that bastard’s name is? I object!” Chen Fan roared angrily.

Realization crashed down on him. This was the matter Lin Xian’er had cryptically mentioned. The ‘great event’ concerning Qin Yao... was a forced marriage!

When Ji Ye and the others from his group heard that, their gazes immediately darkened. Their expressions turned hostile, and they shouted coldly, “Hmph, who do you think you are? It’s not your turn to stick your hands into our Ji Clan’s matters.”

“Little Junior Brother.” Huang Wuji pressed his palm on Chen Fan’s shoulder.

Chen Fan’s eyes turned bloodshot. He turned to look at Huang Wuji and said, “First Senior Brother, Qin Yao is my senior sister and more than that... She’s my woman!”

“Insolence!”

“Outrageous!”

The Ji Clan members’ auras immediately erupted and swept out, causing the winds and clouds to change colors.

Even Ji Ye’s gaze turned cold in an instant. Icy killing intent flashed across his eyes.

“Alright, Little Junior Brother. Since that is the case, I’ll go with you to the Phoenix Stage in three months,” said Huang Wui.

Chen Fan nodded and took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage in his heart, and turned to look at Ji Ye and the others.

He met their murderous glares with nothing but cold defiance and said coldly, “I will go to the Phoenix Stage in three months to take my senior sister back. And I will kill anyone who dares stand in my way.”

“Also, tell Beishan Hong that I’ll take his worthless life on the Phoenix Stage in three months! Who does he think he is; he’s not qualified to marry senior sister!”

“What arrogance!”

“You’re courting death!”

“Overestimating yourself!”

The Ji Clan members laughed coldly when they heard Chen Fan’s words. Killing intent swept out.

Did he really believe that being a disciple of Peerless Peak meant he could act with impunity?

1. They seem to be following the lunar calendar, so saying October would be wrong. ☜
