A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 294 Stop Being Insolent

Murong Jinshui continued, "Our eight great cultivation families are each stationed at the entrance of one of the eight spiritual domains to prevent the malevolent energy within these domains from leaking out."

Chao Bufan frowned slightly, thinking to himself: The eight great cultivation families guard the entrances to the eight spiritual realms, so what about the entrance to the demon realm? After a moment's thought, he smiled and said, "Elders, although I don't understand what you're saying, I've studied for a few years and know a little about the myths of HX, such as Pangu creating the world, Nuwa creating humans, and the Jade Emperor and Buddha. The spiritual realms you're referring to must be the demon realm, the monster realm, the heavenly realm, the underworld, and many other worlds, right?"

Upon hearing this, He Huacheng nodded and said, "That's right, exactly."

Chao Bufan had always harbored a question: why were all the beings in these spirit realms destroyed? Although he could ignore all the bizarre events that had occurred since his rebirth, he was still somewhat interested, given that he had now surpassed the unimaginable abilities of most people in many aspects. Therefore, after a moment's thought, he said, "In that case, let's go!"

"Young man, please!"

"please!"

J Province, X County, at the foot of Tulong Mountain.

Under the pitch-black night sky, there were no stars, no moon, no light at all; everything was shrouded in darkness. Perhaps tomorrow will be a rainy day!

In the distance, three beams of light rapidly approached Tulong Mountain. In the blink of an eye, three figures appeared at the foot of the mountain like ghosts. They were none other than He Huacheng, the eldest elder of the He family, Murong Jinshui, the eldest elder of the Murong family, and Chao Bufan.

He Huacheng and Murong Jinshui stood side by side in front, while Chao Bufan stood behind with his hands behind his back.

Thinking that this huge mountain peak contained some mystery, Chao Bufan asked, "Elder He, is this where your He family is located?"

He Huacheng laughed and said, "No, not here. Our He family has lived on the top of this mountain for generations."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan looked up and released his divine sense. However, to his surprise, even though his divine sense could reach more than 5,000 meters away, he still could not reach the top of the mountain. He exclaimed in shock: "Damn, how high is this mountain?"

"Young man, please!"

As they spoke, He Huacheng and Murong Jinshui transformed into a beam of light and disappeared at the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye. Chao Bufan did not hesitate and quickly followed.

This mountain soars into the clouds, steep and precipitous. While not reaching 10,000 meters, it's at least 9,000 meters high. Therefore, for mountaineering enthusiasts, reaching the summit of Tulong Mountain is no easy feat. In fact, no one has ever truly reached the top; most give up halfway because it's impossible to climb any higher. However, for those cultivators who can fly on swords or soar through the air on foot, it's a different story.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them appeared in front of the He Family Mountain gate.

Looking at the buildings hidden among the branches and vines, Chao Bufan couldn't help but be a little surprised. Such a secluded family, seemingly exposed to the outside world, was actually very well hidden. Without careful observation, or even without getting closer, it would be difficult to notice that what was in front of you was a house, let alone a bird's-eye view.

As soon as he appeared, two disciples of the He family rushed out of the darkness. They were about to shout a question, but after taking a closer look, they quickly bowed and said respectfully, "Elder."

He Huacheng nodded slightly and said "Hmm," then waved for the two gatekeepers to leave. He then turned and said, "Young brother, please!"

Chao Bufan nodded and said "Mm," then stepped forward and followed.

Before long, He Linfeng and several fellow disciples came towards them, waving happily from afar and saying, "Brother Bufan, we meet again!"

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Yes, we meet again."

"Senior Uncle, Senior Uncle Jinshui." He Linfeng and the others greeted He Huacheng as they approached him.

He Huacheng asked, "Nephew Lin Feng, has the patriarch gone to sleep yet?"

He Linfeng replied, "Reporting to Grand Master Uncle, my father and all the other senior uncles and masters are waiting in the 'Council Hall' and have specially ordered us to come and greet them."

He Huacheng grunted in agreement and said, "Then let's go!"

As he spoke, he walked forward in front of everyone, with the crowd following closely behind.

At this moment, He Jingde sat in the head seat, with his own elders and the important figures with absolute authority in the family all sitting on the right side of the entrance; on the left side sat the elders of the other six families.

They were talking about something when they saw He Huacheng and the others come in, so they all stopped talking and looked towards the entrance.

In an instant, Chao Bufan was stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes. Chao Bufan showed no fear; a casual glance swept over them, and he immediately grasped the cultivation levels of everyone present. He was secretly astonished: the He family truly lived up to their reputation as a cultivation family; their overall strength far surpassed that of Sun Village. Then, he realized it made sense. Sun Village was a small village abandoned by the gods, restricted by various restrictions, which would inevitably affect cultivation levels. The He family, on the other hand, without any such restrictions, naturally progressed faster in cultivation.

"Senior brother, I've brought the person." He Huacheng said to He Jingde, then walked to the first empty chair on He Jingde's left and sat down. Murong Jinshui gestured and sat down on his right. He Linfeng and the other fellow disciples sat in the last few chairs on the left.

He Jingde sized up Chao Bufan for a moment, then nodded and said, "Young brother, welcome to my He family. Please have a seat!"

Chao Bufan didn't stand on ceremony. He nodded politely, glanced around, and then walked over to Murong Jinshui, sitting down next to him and habitually crossing his legs.

However, his action immediately drew mocking glances from many people, and those who couldn't stand Chao Bufan's rudeness began to whisper among themselves.

Chao Bufan didn't mind. He made a loose fist with his right hand, coughed lightly, looked at He Jingde, the head of the He family, and then smiled slightly, saying, "Hey you... you must be the head of the He family, right?"

He Jingde smiled and said, "That's right, I am the head of the He family—He Jingde. Young brother, your name is Chao Bufan, right?"

Chao Bufan, with a nonchalant air, swung his leg and nodded, saying, "Yes, I am Chao Bufan, Chao Bufan is me."

Ding Jichun, the eldest elder of the Ding family, couldn't stand Chao Bufan's nonchalant attitude. Coupled with his fiery temper, he scolded, "Boy, don't be so presumptuous."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan scoffed and smiled slightly, "That's just how I am, I'm the same wherever I go, a very casual person. If you don't like it, you don't have to look. I didn't ask you to look."
