Chapter 228: The Undying Nether Emperor (9)
"Capture it alive! We must take that divine bird alive!"
Chen Bufan gave the order.
The surrounding powerhouses immediately sprang into action. Every expert he had brought from the Abyssal Sea Sacred Land was at the Void Refining realm—figures who could serve as elders even within the Sacred Land. However, Chen Bufan was the disciple of a quasi-Saint. That status made all the difference.
Su Chen watched the "ants" charging toward him with icy eyes. He sensed a faint familiar aura from the young man. In an instant, his figure flickered and appeared behind the attackers.
Chen Bufan watched in horror as the black divine bird stood upright like a human and walked toward him step by step. Behind the bird, every expert he had brought from the Sacred Land suddenly burst into black flames before turning into ashes.
Chen Bufan stood frozen, dumbfounded.
The black figure had already appeared before him like a ghost. Only then did Chen Bufan recall his ancestor Chen Tianyi's final words. After Chen Tianyi had slain a Demon King while defending the Great Wu Dynasty and returned to the sect gravely wounded, he had left one last message for his descendants:
"Our Chen family has been blessed by the divine crow. This is already a great fortune. Never… never harbor malicious intentions…"
Chen Bufan had never taken the ancestral teaching seriously—until now. He finally understood its meaning. But it was too late.
