Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Master’s Great Tactics

Su Qingyan subconsciously tightened her grip on Chen Fan’s arm, targeted by such a terrifying entity, anyone would surely struggle to remain composed.

Chen Fan, however, appeared nonchalant as he smiled at Su Qingyan and said, "You don’t need to be too nervous, didn’t Jiang Yunlei say that the people from the Ghost Witch Sect don’t dare to reveal their identities in the Capital? Even if they have grasped our qi, they definitely won’t dare to strike at us here. Just avoid going to less populated places during this time."

These words were to comfort Su Qingyan, but his fearlessness in the face of the Ghost Witch Sect naturally stemmed from his absolute confidence in his own strength.

Although he had not yet broken through to the Golden Core Realm, a Cultivator’s power is inherently superior to a Martial Arts expert. Coupled with the trump cards Chen Fan held, even facing a third-tier Divine Realm might not be an impossible fight.

Compared to the Ghost Witch Sect, Chen Fan was more curious about the Divine Covenant mentioned by Taiyi Ancestor. He turned his head to look at Taiyi Ancestor and asked, "You just mentioned that the Ghost Witch Sect is a prime target for the Divine Covenant, does that mean there are many evil sects like the Ghost Witch Sect?"

Taiyi Ancestor nodded, "Although the world seems calm and peaceful and the secular world is thriving, in those dark corners that people do not notice, evil has always been festering. Sects of the Heretical Path like the Ghost Witch Sect are not only numerous but also pose significant threats. Many disasters in history have been caused by them behind the scenes; ordinary people just can’t touch this level of truth."

"The original intention of establishing the Divine Covenant was to combat these evil sects."

Chen Fan nodded, thinking of the Ancient God Incarnation he had encountered earlier, which must have been part of these malevolent forces.

He could guess that the prevalence of such heretical forces was related to the current Martial Arts cultivation system.

After the Divine Realm, Martial Arts Cultivators, whose Spiritual Sense of Spiritual Energy is inherently weaker than orthodox Cultivators, can only rely on Spiritual Medicine or Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures for cultivation. Both Spiritual Medicine and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures are scarce resources, completely relying on luck to come across.

In such difficult cultivation conditions, it is normal for some to resort to malevolent means to increase their strength.

"The Ghost Witch Sect people not daring to expose themselves in the Capital is also because of the Divine Covenant, right?" Chen Fan asked.

Taiyi Ancestor nodded, "Correct. The branch of the Divine Covenant in the Capital is very powerful. The Ghost Witch Sect may be untouchable for us, but for the Divine Covenant, they are merely a mouse. The advantage of these evil sects lies in their ability to hide; they are not easily found. Otherwise, the Divine Covenant would have eradicated them long ago."

Chen Fan’s eyebrows rose, "The Divine Covenant only has a branch in the Capital? Where is their headquarters located then?"

Taiyi Ancestor shook his head, "I’m not clear about that, but rumors suggest that the headquarters of the Divine Covenant is likely hidden within the mysterious Kunlun Mountains."

Kunlun has always been the most mysterious place in Huaxia since ancient times, with many legends persisting to this day having an indistinct connection to Kunlun.

A spark of curiosity ignited within Chen Fan, thinking that he should take a trip to the Kunlun Mountains someday to uncover the secrets hidden within.

Taiyi Ancestor looked at Chen Fan and said, "Master, Jiang Yunlei transmitted your and this young lady’s qi to the Ghost Witch Sect, which is a huge hidden danger. Shall we contact the Divine Covenant to see if they can help resolve this trouble?"

Chen Fan smiled and replied, "It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. In some time, I will personally take a trip to the Ghost Witch Sect and, once I have eradicated them, there won’t be any need to worry about trouble anymore."

Taiyi Ancestor’s eyes widened in astonishment, "But where the Ghost Witch Sect is, even the Divine Covenant can’t figure it out, Master, how will you... "

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Their inability to find them doesn’t mean I can’t. When I killed Jiang Yunlei with a single palm strike earlier, I locked onto the location of the Ghost Witch Sect using the Secret Technique he used to transmit qi. These methods might seem secretive to ordinary people, but to me, they are nothing but child’s play."

Although Taiyi Ancestor’s face showed shock, recalling that Chen Fan was the legendary Cultivator, he came to terms with it and then bowed to Chen Fan, "Master, what a deft move."

Chen Fan waved his hand dismissively, but suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the entrance to the courtyard.

A man who appeared to be in his late twenties, wearing a black cloak with a white auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on the chest, had appeared there without anyone noticing.

Chen Fan could tell at a glance that this person actually possessed the strength of the first tier of the Divine Realm.

"A Divine Realm cultivator so young?" Chen Fan was somewhat surprised.

Taiyi Ancestor had also noticed the man and turned his head to take a look before exclaiming, "It’s someone from the Divine Covenant! He must have detected the evil aura released by Jiang Yunlei and came specifically to investigate."

Chen Fan understood and thought to himself that the people from the Divine Covenant were quite quick to react; hardly any time had passed since Jiang Yunlei exposed himself and they had already found him.

Now there really wasn’t too much to worry about regarding the people from the Ghost Witch Sect coming to the Capital to trouble him and Su Qingyan.

The man had a cold expression on his face. After entering the courtyard, his gaze quickly fell upon Jiang Yunlei. Confirming that the other party had no breath left, he asked, "What happened here just now?"

Taiyi Ancestor stepped forward, cupped his hands with a bow, and said with a smile, "My good sir is from the Divine Covenant, yes? A dishonorable descendant of mine was corrupted by an Evil Sect, and he revealed his identity just now, but the issue has been resolved."

The man glanced at Taiyi Ancestor and asked, "Are you that ancestor of the Jiang Family?"

Taiyi Ancestor nodded.

A hint of contempt was clear in the man’s eyes. Both were of the first tier of the Divine Realm, but one was young and vigorous while the other was old and decrepit. As the younger, he naturally had some arrogance.

Nevertheless, he went through the motions, "My name is Xiao Che, a member of the second action group of the Divine Covenant’s Capital division. I was patrolling nearby when I sensed the evil aura here, so I came to investigate. Please recount to me all the information about this Evil Sect individual."

Taiyi Ancestor did not dare to neglect, and relayed the incident regarding Jiang Yunlei.

After listening, Xiao Che snorted coldly, "The Ghost Witch Sect again, those damn beasts. My Capital division will soon find out the location of their lair, and when we do, we’ll tear those bastards to pieces!"

He then asked Taiyi Ancestor, "Who was the person that Jiang Yunlei wanted to take?"

Taiyi Ancestor pointed at Su Qingyan.

Xiao Che’s gaze first fell on Chen Fan, felt the latter was unremarkable, and then promptly ignored him.

He then turned to look at Su Qingyan. The moment her exquisitely beautiful face entered his sight, his heartbeat unexpectedly quickened.

"So beautiful..."

He just stood there, staring blankly at Su Qingyan, momentarily enchanted.
