Chapter 705: Black Fiend Hall Master

“You said you were passing by despite using a Void Transference Talisman to come here?” said Meng Chuan coldly. “Since you’ve come, don’t leave.”

Boom.

Fiend Lord Fire Cloud felt the surrounding space collapse rapidly; he couldn’t escape at all.

The space instantly collapsed into a point, and Fiend Lord Fire Cloud was completely annihilated. All that was left were sufficiently tough weapons and artifacts.

Since I encountered him, I’ll just crush him in passing. Meng Chuan instinctively felt killing intent toward Black Fiend Hall’s members.

This was because he could see the heinous sins on Black Fiend Hall’s members. Every Black Fiend Hall member had an immense grudge and endless wailing over them since they had slaughtered countless living beings. As a core member of Black Fiend Hall, Fiend Lord Fire Cloud’s sins were even more terrifying. Unfortunately... The other party had a true body in his homeworld.

Meng Chuan had only destroyed the other party’s outer realm true body.

...

“I took the initiative to curry favor with him and bowed my head in submission, but he actually killed my true body.” In his homeworld, Fiend Lord Fire Cloud was furious. He had been extremely humble and had put on an obsequious stance, but he had still met with such an end. “He’s gone too far. He thinks nothing of Black Fiend Hall. I want to report this to Hall Master!”

Fiend Lord Fire Cloud had never suffered such humiliation. He immediately reported to Black Fiend Hall Master through Nebula Palace.

...

In one of Nebula Palace’s halls.

A handsome man with fair skin sat on the main seat and flipped through Black Fiend Hall’s dossiers.

Black Fiend Hall had two hall masters—one main and one deputy. The main hall master was Lord of Li Rainbow, who had cultivated for an extremely long time—more than 120,000 years. When his might shook the River of Spacetime, Ancestral Magus King was only at the Sixth Tribulation realm.

Although he hadn’t reached the echelons of the top Seventh Tribulation Eminences after cultivating for so long, the passage of time had made his attainments in the temporal law extremely high.

Lord of Li Rainbow’s rise was slightly earlier than Guild Master Fiend Eye’s. It was said that he had committed heinous sins as Black Fiend Hall’s supreme leader, but he seldom took action. This was especially so when the deputy hall master was also an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence. His Essence Soul avatars fought everywhere, so it was even rarer for Lord of Li Rainbow to take action.

A bunch of fools. Lord of Li Rainbow flipped through the dossiers. He could see the provocations from some factions in the River of Spacetime.

Lord of Li Rainbow enjoyed too many resources as Black Fiend Hall Master, causing other Seventh Tribulation Eminences to spy on him. This was especially so since he was still not a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence.

Top Seventh Tribulation Eminences waste their time comprehending a second Origins law, thought Lord of Li Rainbow. Isn’t it better to spend time studying the temporal law? This way, one’s chances of grasping the temporal law will be greater.

Lord of Li Rainbow was ambitious. He had also reached the Seventh Tribulation realm after cultivating for slightly over 10,000 years, and he had become famous earlier than Fiend Eye.

He focused on studying the temporal law and didn’t want to be distracted. But before he completely grasped the temporal law, his combat strength was inferior to those who combined two Origins laws.

“Hall Lord.” Fiend Lord Fire Cloud walked in from outside the hall.

“What’s the matter?” Lord of Li Rainbow glanced at him and continued reading the dossiers.

“City Lord Eastcalm—Meng Chuan—has gone overboard with bullying our Black Fiend Hall!” Fiend Lord Fire Cloud was furious.

“Tell me in detail,” said Lord of Li Rainbow calmly.

Fiend Lord Fire Cloud said respectfully, “This was what happened. A Fifth Tribulation Eminence from our Black Fiend Hall went to snatch the treasures obtained from a cave abode, but he was surprisingly ambushed by City Lord Eastcalm. I learned of the news and knew that it happened in my Heavenly Cycle River Zone! He took the initiative to attack a member of our Black Fiend Hall in my Heavenly Cycle River Zone, so I naturally had to investigate the culprit who was bold enough to provoke our Black Fiend Hall.”

Lord of Li Rainbow listened.

“I immediately rushed over and discovered that it was actually City Lord Eastcalm,” said Fire Cloud. “He’s a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence after all, and I wasn’t stupid enough to provoke him. Thus, I naturally submitted to him and didn’t dare cross him at all. But to my surprise, he still killed my outer realm true body.”

“He still killed your outer realm true body?” Lord of Li Rainbow was somewhat alarmed.

“Yes,” said Fire Cloud immediately. “I naturally don’t dare to lie in front of you. I really didn’t dare to cross him, but he still attacked without any hesitation.”

“Alright, I understand.” Lord of Li Rainbow nodded. “You may leave.”

“Yes.” Fire Cloud didn’t dare say anything else. He knew his hall master’s personality very well.

Black Fiend Hall’s rules didn’t allow Sixth Tribulation Eminences to provoke them. If anyone dared to provoke them, Black Fiend Hall would kill one to warn the rest. These rules were naturally decided by Lord of Li Rainbow, who had been in power for more than 100,000 years.

Given his status, I can let the matter of killing a Fifth Tribulation Eminence in a sneak attack pass. However, Fiend Lord Fire Cloud is a top Sixth Tribulation Eminence of Black Fiend Hall. He deliberately tried to curry favor with Meng Chuan, but Meng Chuan still killed him with a flip of his hand. That’s equivalent to insulting my Black Fiend Hall. Lord of Li Rainbow’s eyes turned colder.

This isn’t an ordinary provocation; he is going too far! This is equivalent to trampling over Black Fiend Hall and shitting and pissing all over it! He’s only a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence, yet he’s so arrogant? Lord of Li Rainbow was secretly vexed.

He could tolerate the provocations of Seventh Tribulation Eminences. However, he couldn’t tolerate a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence stepping on his toes. If news of this spread, how would the various factions view Black Fiend Hall?

My studies of the temporal law have also reached a bottleneck. It’s no longer suitable for me to focus on cultivating arduously. Perhaps it’s time to have some action. Lord of Li Rainbow’s anger surged. I’ll destroy this Meng Chuan’s Thousand Mountain Star—which he’s guarding—as punishment.

...

“Grandfather, what’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to escape?” Meng Yu asked Meng Chuan in an outer realm void.

“The Fifth Tribulation Eminence that I just killed is a member of Black Fiend Hall. Black Fiend Hall is a bunch of lunatics, and they will take revenge for killing their members. When you roam the outer realm in the future, be careful of Black Fiend Hall,” reminded Meng Chuan.

Meng Yu nodded. “I understand. I’ve long heard of Black Fiend Hall’s reputation in the outer realm. Grandfather, will they find you for your actions?” historical

Meng Chuan comforted him. “Don’t worry; I’m very cautious. We slipped away when I sensed something amiss. The dead Fifth Tribulation Eminence didn’t see me with his own eyes, so Black Fiend Hall doesn’t know who the murderer is.”

Meng Yu understood.

“I’ll be leaving first. I’ll look for you after exchanging for treasures from Eternal Tower,” said Meng Chuan.

“Grandfather, do you know where to find me?” asked Meng Yu.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be able to find you by following the karma.” Meng Chuan then left by tearing through the sky.

Meng Yu stood rooted to the ground. He had a nagging feeling that his grandfather was mysterious in his doings. He spent very little time with him, his grandson.

Perhaps he’s careful because he has a powerful enemy, thought Meng Yu.

...

Three Bay River System, Thousand Mountain Star.

This was the planet Meng Chuan was presiding over. It was naturally extremely prosperous; it was now one of the top ten bustling planets in Goddess River Zone. Many river system cultivators in the vicinity rushed here to conduct transactions.

Whoosh.

A figure traversed the distant spacetime and arrived outside Thousand Mountain Star.

This figure was dressed in a pale-gold robe. His skin was fair, and he had a handsome appearance. Wherever his gaze landed, the vast spacetime around him was like a box that appeared in his eyes.

Oh? A Seventh Tribulation array formation—which even prevents me from seeing through Thousand Mountain Star—is set up? Lord of Li Rainbow was somewhat surprised.

The vast spacetime was like a box, and Thousand Mountain Star was a tiny black dot in the box. It was so dark that it was impossible to see through it.

With his realm, only a Seventh Tribulation array formation could stop him from spying on its interior.

Meng Chuan was already a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence, so it was very normal for him to set up a Seventh Tribulation array formation.

“Meng Chuan!” Lord of Li Rainbow spoke calmly. His voice echoed in the vast spacetime around him, echoing throughout Thousand Mountain Star.

“Meng Chuan!” “Meng Chuan!” “Meng Chuan!” “Meng Chuan!” “Meng Chuan!” “Meng Chuan!” ...

All the cultivators on Thousand Mountain Star clearly heard the voice.

“Come out!” “Come out!” “Come out!”

Lord of Li Rainbow’s voice was very calm, without any hint of anger. But when this calm voice sounded in the ears of every cultivator, it was extraordinary.

“Not good. Something big has happened.”

“Thousand Mountain Star is probably in danger.”

Thousand Mountain Star instantly broke into pandemonium. Cultivators were very sharp. Some chose to rush toward the Eternal Tower branch, while others immediately fled outside Thousand Mountain Star. A few cultivators also calmly stayed on Thousand Mountain Star.

In short, the entire Thousand Mountain Star was in chaos.

In the void outside Thousand Mountain Star.

Lord of Li Rainbow stood there calmly. Given his status as Black Fiend Hall’s supreme leader and one of the top existences in the River of Spacetime, he disdained sneak attacks.

He would simply warn Meng Chuan and destroy Thousand Mountain Star in front of him as punishment.

Punishment had to be done publicly! Meng Chuan would have to endure it obediently.

Whoosh.

A figure appeared outside of Thousand Mountain Star and stood outside it, facing Lord of Li Rainbow.

“Black Fiend Hall Master, you were looking for me?” Meng Chuan looked at Lord of Li Rainbow.

Lord of Li Rainbow—who had been as calm as water—couldn’t help but narrow his eyes when he saw the black-robed, white-haired man. He then softly said, “Meng Chuan?”

Meng Chuan nodded. “That’s me.”
