Chapter 1043  : Gathering Of The Three Sects.

Meanwhile, Lin He was pinned under Chen Fan’s feet and was shaken to the core by what he had just heard.

“Uh? So you know about the Azure Thearch God-trapping Array?” Chen Fan asked with a half smile.

“Then you must know that the array is one of five that make up the god-slaying Five Emperor Deity Array.

“The presence of the Azure Thearch God-trapping Array means that every single blade of grass belongs to the Five Elements Immortal Sect. I’ve heard that Five Elements Immortal Sect is well known for their vengefulness, and they would wage war for minor offences.”

The temperature was mild, but Lin He was soaked in his own sweat.

“Oh? Are you a trespasser?” Chen Fan gave him a side-long glance.

Lin He listened as he started to tremble uncontrollably. The Five Elements Immortal Sect and the Azure Thearch God-trapping Array were feared names among the disciples of the Demon Sun Sect, such as Lin He.

It was one of the Nine Celestial Sects that resided at the center of the Central Galaxy.

The Demon Sun Sect was located at the Little South Heavenly Realm, a second tier sect in a second tier realm. Despite the Soul Formation Cultivators that guarded the sect, it was a far cry from the Nine Celestial Sects. Any ordinary disciple from the Nine Celestial Sects would deserve a red carpet treatment in the Demon Sun Sect.

“I... I didn’t...”

Lin He was going to explain himself, but he quickly realized that it was all too late.

He had gone too far and had not only taken Heavenly Medicine, but also had his mind set on the Heart of Wood God. It was an unforgivable affront.

“It’s all your fault!”

A light flowed in Lin He’s eyes as he glared at Chen Fan. Suddenly, his body turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.

“Interesting.”

Chen Fan looked up.

Lin He gathered himself and killed the female cultivator right away; then, he gave Chen Fan an expressionless stare. “If I kill you, no one will know what I did.”

“Are you sure you can kill me?” Chen Fan asked.

“You have a higher level of attainment than me. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t kill you,” Lin He said as he produced a lantern with an azure flame. “This is the lantern of Qinyou, a family heirloom of mine. You shall taste its wrath.”

Lin He tapped the lantern and the azure light started to dance, eventually lashing out at Chen Fan.

The green flame burned through the fabric of space, robbing reality of its colors. It was the fire of Kodama, with a hint of the wood element thrown in for good measure.

“You’re an expert in wood elements, but can wood survive the flame?” Lin He’s lips thinned into a smile. He had killed a Nascent Soul Cultivator with this flame, so he was confident that Chen Fan wouldn’t stand a chance.

“Really?”

Chen Fan cracked a smile and took a step forward.

Suddenly, the Chaotic Divine Tree turned into a giant Red Sparrow that extended its enormous flaming wings. It easily overpowered the flame of Kodama and dashed towards Lin He.

“No!”

Lin He screamed as he was swallowed by the blaze.

Meanwhile, outside the Spirit Well...

The cultivators present watched in fear as one after another mighty figure arrived.

A cultivator looked up at the Nascent Soul Cultivators and exclaimed, “Heavenly Lord Qingtian from the Thunder Pole Institute, Ancestral Patriarch of the Zhang family, and even the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect have sent two of their Grand Monsters: Fuhai and Tunshan.”

Someone put in, “The three brothers of the Chu Family were the precious princes from the Thunder Pole Institute. Their combined might can defeat any Nascent Soul Cultivator. No wonder their deaths have infuriated the Thunder Pole Institute.”

“I’ve heard that the culprit was a Sword Cultivator.”

“Indeed. He killed them with a blade. Right now they’re combing through all the Sword Sages present to find out the murderer. Even the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect and the Spirit Husbandry Sect have joined the search.”

Everyone waited in anticipation for the result of the investigation.

The Spirit Well was a small place and it was only a matter of time they checked every place. Regardless of who the murderer was, one thing was certain: he was dead.

“I wonder what they’re going to do with him. Death by thunder or soul extraction?”

Many shook their heads.

Meanwhile, inside the Spirit Well, an investigation was being carried out meticulously. Their focus was on Golden Core Cultivators who could descend to four thousand meters beneath the earth and ignored most Connate Cultivators. Fu Qiang and Sister Zhang were sitting on a giant rock, cultivating in peace.

The first day, the second day, the third day...

As time flew by, the investigators combed through their target area and narrowed the search down to a few suspects; all of them had solid alibis.

Qi Feng stood up and put in, “There is one more suspect. He is a Connate Cultivator and appeared at the bottom of the well out of nowhere. We forgot about him.”

“Indeed, I remember such a person.”

Many people agreed.

Even the Monster Princes from the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect had also agreed. They tried to look for Chen Fan but he was nowhere to be found.

“Interesting. How could a Connate Cultivator appear at the bottom of the well? There must be something more than meets the eye. I suspect that he is related to the murder.”

A senior disciple nodded.

“Then, we know what we should do. When the well is opened three days from now, we will turn it upside down. I’m sure we will find him,” said the senior disciple.

However powerful Chen Fan was, the Spirit Well was a small place; he wouldn’t be able to evade the search of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Three days later...

Boom!

A ray of emerald light burst out from the bottom of the well. The well was about to open up.
