Chapter 815: Secret Path
Proofreader: Papatonks
“Your Majesty, I don’t think he would do that himself.”
Tuoba Tieshan shook his head, turning back to Zhuo Fan and shouting, “Zhuo Fan, since you had the nerve to barge into Quanrong imperial capital, I, as its captain of the guards, shall arrest you
”
“Father!”
Tuoba Tieshan started to shout, turning to see his son and daughter shaking their heads.
[Father, that’s the worst thing you could possibly do. He’s more savage than before!]
Confused, Tuoba Tieshan scratched his head.
[Once bitten, twice shy? The last time we only lost against an army.]
[But now he’s all alone against all of us. Yet you’re telling me I still can’t take him?]
[Father, don’t look down on him just for being alone. He’ll still mow us down.]
The Touba siblings knew what he was thinking, constantly shaking their heads. Tuoba Tieshan was still perplexed as to why.
“Ha-ha-ha, is the destroyer of Crown Prince’s manor here?” Four figures landed.
“Elder Hu, he’s the one!” The crown prince’s High Venerable carried the bedridden crown prince as he bowed before a muscled youth.
The crown prince crawled higher on the High Venerable’s back and cursed when he saw Zhuo Fan, “Elder Hu, he’s the one. Kill him
”
“With me here, all will be over soon.” The man turned to Zhuo Fan and then widened his eyes, roaring, “You again, brat?”
Zhuo Fan was perplexed.
Another youth next to Elder Hu stomped hard as his features twisted, “Rotten punk, I guess you don’t recognize us now, but we certainly do. After that loss, we vowed that one day we’ll pull every bone from your body and make you experience pain like no other. Who thought that today will be the day we’ll do it. No one will save you now, ha-ha-ha, not even heaven itself!”
The man cackled, releasing his mighty aura and making even High Venerable shake in fear.
[This is the power of an Ethereal Stage expert! So strong!]
“Elder Lang, you have something with the kid too?” The High Venerable asked, “Great, now old and new grievances will be washed away today.”
Elder Lang’s eyes were bloodshot, “Humph, just a grievance? That day in Tianyu, he ruined my body
”
Hu~
He didn’t finish as a whistling sound was heard, followed by a large scarlet dragon claw grabbing all four of them.
The four struggled for nothing, as even their souls were stuck in the draconic grip.
Elder Hu’s eyes bugged out, “W-what is this? Soul? You’re a Radiant Stage cultivator, how can you form a soul? Why is it so strong?”
The scarlet dragon claw came from behind Zhuo Fan like a third hand.
Zhuo Fan looked annoyed right now, “Since you survived, keep your nose down. Why the hell are two fleas coming to buzz in my ears about old times?”
Bam!
The dragon claw clenched and the four exploded in a shower of blood, splattering on everyone around.
The victims had no chance to even wail their demise, destroyed in body and soul, including the two Ethereal Stage cultivators.
The witnesses were speechless. Two Ethereal Stage experts and a peak Radiant Stage cultivator were squashed like bugs.
Tuoba Tieshan looked from his children to Zhuo Fan, now understanding their fear.
Zhuo Fan was no longer human to be able to kill Ethereal Stage experts so easily.
The Eight Wolf Wardens faltered and shivered. Zhuo Fan was worlds above them.
Even before, alone they were no match for Zhuo Fan, but using human wave tactics they could stall him.
Something impossible right now. Zhuo Fan was beyond their reach

An eerie silence fell.
Everyone regarded Zhuo Fan with fear. An Ethereal Stage expert was seen as a god by these people.
But they died all the same in the easiest manner possible.
Taking back the claw, Zhuo Fan returned to his calm demeanor, “Sixth prince, this pint is pointing at that hill. Is there something off about it?”
“Shouldn’t be. That is a view I often visited when I was small. It should be fine.” The sixth prince was puzzled as he looked around.
Zhuo Fan inspected his surroundings and smiled, “So it’s a concealing array, one powered by sacred stones. No wonder it’s hard to see. But what’s it hiding?”
“Void Annihilation!”
With a creepy smile, Zhuo Fan’s right eye flashed golden twice.
Rumble~
Something broke then and everyone’s view changed. It was like a mirror had just suffered a crack and started crumbling and vanishing.
Before them was a pitch-black cave in the hill.
The flower fairy pointed right at it.
Grinning, Zhuo Fan walked forward, but a shout came, “Wait, sir!”
Zhuo Fan started and turned to the speaker, the Quanrong Emperor. Only this time, the emperor had lost his panicking look, turning grave, “Sir, no matter who you are, if you go in, you may not come back. This barrier is Quanrong’s shame, and also a catalyst. You shouldn’t have broken it!”
“No one can stop me from getting what I want. Thanks for the reminder.” Zhuo Fan walked forward without hesitation and jumped in.
The sixth prince followed him, but the emperor shouted, “Son!”
“Imperial father, actually, I knew of this place long ago.”
The sixth prince smiled, his eyes sharp, “This is our empire’s shame and the imperial family’s disgrace. One day this barrier would’ve been lifted, only no one dared to, but I believe Sir Zhuo would be the one to break everything. I have seen his might in the Double Dragon Gathering. He’s not like those hypocrites!”
The sixth prince jumped in.
The emperor wanted to stop him but could only sigh as he was too late.
Tuoba Tieshan was puzzled, “Your Majesty, what’s in there? Why
”
“Old commander Touba, if they don’t come out, take your men and run, or they would destroy
” The emperor sighed and shook his head.
[Who’s they?]
Whoosh~
However, a figure flashed by and Lian’er jumped right in. Touba Lian’er rushed after her, “Lian’er!”
Four people had just gone into the dark cave, their signature lost.
Tuoba Tieshan was sweating, but the emperor held his shoulder, “Old commander, it’s all up to luck now. Seeing how easy the man killed two Ethereal Stage experts, I hope he will be able to bring everyone back. Then, I wish for Commander Touba to take my son and go.”
Shaking, Tuoba Tieshan looked at the emperor lost, his face grave.
[Why would His Majesty ask me to flee with his son?]
[Is the enemy
]
“Your Majesty, crown prince’s body
”
“Feed it to the dogs!” The emperor’s eyes were filled with hatred. Tuoba Tieshan was shocked more than ever.
Meanwhile, Zhuo Fan landed in the cave and all he saw was a winding path through the earth. The flower spirit pointed onward and Zhuo Fan nodded.
But then he heard a shout from above and Zhuo Fan shook his head. Sidestepping, he witnessed three mighty thumps as three people landed hard on their rear
