Chapter 701 - The Kun Peng Clan’s Plans
Kun Zhi, who had just stepped into the Void City, stopped walking, his expression turning ugly.
Kun Xue, who was following him, looked at Kun Zhi in confusion. “Senior Brother Zhi, what happened?”
Kun Zhi tried his best to calm down as he replied slowly, “Kun Wei was killed just now.”
Only Di Jiu most likely could and had dared to kill Kun Wei. This implied that Di Jiu had been waiting outside the Shadow Void Castle and had immediately taken action against Kun Wei and Fan Yuan the moment he had seen that Kun Zhi and Kun Xue had left the castle.
“That bastard! I want to swallow that weakling whole!” Kun Xue, who was enraged, turned and got ready to charge to the Shadow Void Castle.
Kun Zhi stopped Kun Xue, who stared at him with bloodshot eyes. “Senior Brother Zhi, what are you trying to do?”
Kun Zhi stared at Kun Xue and asked coldly, “How powerful do you think the two of us are in comparison to Kun Wei and Fan Yuan combined?”
Kun Xue calmed down, as he understood what Kun Zhi was implying. The two of them were indeed stronger than Kun Wei and Fan Yuan together, but this difference was not absolute.
Kun Zhi, who saw that Kun Xue had calmed down, leveled his tone and said, “You should have already known that we could never suppress Kun Wei and Fan Yuan with our strength, Kun Wei. Plus, think of how long it has been since we left the Shadow Void Castle. Based on my observation of the video captured, Di Jiu did not face many difficulties when killing Kun Wei. He seemed to possess a Connate treasure. Dao Chuanxun helped Di Jiu as well. What are our chances of winning if we head over now? Perhaps Di Jiu is waiting at the Shadow Void Castle for us to head over.”
“So, do we just let Kun Wei’s death go?” He clenched his fists tightly, feeling bitter and reluctant.
“Yes, I had not thought things through thoroughly. I was too fixated on the mutated Kun Peng descendant.” Kun Zhi admitted to his mistake while bowing his head in apology. He suspected that Fan Yuan was only thinking of killing Di Jiu and was not doing it to lure the Kun Peng Clan. If that was the motive, Fan Yuan would not have to put his own life on the line.
Kun Kuntian waved his hand dismissively. “Kun Zhi, you were not wrong to seek out a mutated Kun Peng descendant like Lightning. The Kun Peng Clan has hidden away from the world in this mountain for a very long time and perhaps will remain here forever if no true expert is born. Your mistake was thinking that your strength was sufficient to dominate this realm.”
“Ancestor, there are really no Dao Integration experts in this realm. Junior Brother Zhi is currently at the half-step Dao Integration Realm, so he can be considered an apex expert in this realm,” said Kun Qianhe respectfully in an attempt to help Kun Zhi explain.
Kun Kuntian was the only Dao Integration expert in the Kun Peng Clan and in this realm. Therefore, everyone in the Kun Peng Clan would be extremely respectful to him regardless of their identity or position.
Kun Kuntian said, “I am not blaming Kun Zhi. However, this matter is very serious and Kun Zhi should have notified me immediately so that I would come out of seclusion. I understand that all of you want my cultivation to attain greater heights, but in truth, my cultivation level has remained stagnant ever since I attained the Dao Integration Realm more than a million years ago. Even if this situation had not occurred, the Kun Peng Clan could no longer have continued to hide away in this mountain.”
“Are we leaving?” exclaimed Kun Xue, who was at the perfected Primordial Chaos Realm.
To all Kun Peng Clan cultivators, the Kun Mountain was their root and home. If anyone else had forced them to leave this mountain, they would have battled it out with that person.
Kun Kuntian sighed and replied, “That’s right, we need to leave. Based on what Kun Zhi said, Di Jiu could battle on even ground with him even though he is only at the Primordial Dao Realm. Now, imagine if Di Jiu attained the Primordial Chaos Realm. Then, even I might not be his match. Plus, Di Jiu is an Array Dao expert so he would find this place sooner or later.”
“The Kun Peng Clan will fight to the end and bring Di Jiu down if he comes!” hollered Kun Xue as he clenched his fists.
Kun Kuntian waved his hand. “The Kun Peng Clan has never lacked courage, but bravery alone is not enough to bring the clan to greater heights. According to my prediction, a plane in the Beyond of Heaven and Earth is the home of the Kun Peng Clan. I have decided that the Kun Peng Clan will head to Heaven’s Beyond in 100 years. I will also hold a Dao discussion in the Kun Mountain during these 100 years. How much you will each benefit from it will depend on your own fate.”
