Chapter 1603: Kong Su’s Fury, Summoning the Strong

Xiao Fan took several steps forward… forcefully suppressing the experts of the Imperial Family.

The news spread like wildfire, setting the entire Zhao Family City abuzz. Before long, it began to reach other Human Race cities within Youming Prefecture.

The news of Xiao Fan's return had already caused a minor sensation in the Human Race's Domain of Youming Prefecture a few days ago.

After all, he had previously killed the prodigies of the Demon and Monster Races with overwhelming force, offending the two races to the point of no return.

With his return, many believed that the Demon and Monster Races might launch a full-scale invasion!

Previously, with the Imperial Ancestor presiding, the two races did not dare to cross the line.

But now, the Secret Room where the Imperial Ancestor was in seclusion was filled with deathly Qi; his time was nearly up, or perhaps he had already passed away.

The Demon and Monster Races would not let him off!

But just as the Human Race was in the midst of heated discussion…

Word actually got out that Xiao Fan had, with just a few steps… forced hundreds of the Imperial Family's experts to their knees!

And among them were experts of the Jiesheng Realm!

"This—this can't be true, right?!"

"That Xiao Fan… seems to be less than thirty years old right now!!"

"Oh—oh my God… that's too terrifying!!"

"Hahahaha… it seems our Human Race in Youming Prefecture is saved!!"

"…"

Discussions of all kinds continued.

Some humans thought Xiao Fan was audaciously reckless.

But others believed he was the hope of the Human Race!

They thought he might replace the Imperial Ancestor as the new pillar of the Human Race in Youming Prefecture to deter the Demon and Monster Races!

…

Inside the Imperial City.

After learning what had happened, Kong Su trembled with rage: "You—didn't you say… the gap between you and Xiao Fan was only slight?!"

Cao Yang's Face was ugly to the extreme; he felt like dying right then and there.

"Your Majesty… it's possible that this lowly one misjudged Xiao Fan's strength!"

Cao Yang said with a trembling voice.

How could he dare to say he had done it on purpose?

"Argh…"

Kong Su was furious. With a single palm strike, he directly reduced Cao Yang to a mist of blood.

"That beast!!" Kong Su roared. Killing Cao Yang alone did not satisfy his rage.

"Someone, come! Execute the entire Cao clan!"

"Yes!"

Because of Cao Yang, Kong Su had now completely offended Xiao Fan.

The strength Xiao Fan had just displayed!

That was the hope of the Human Race!

And yet now…

"Damn it!"

Kong Su was livid and full of resentment, trying to think of a way to make amends.

In truth, Kong Su was not a brainless person.

It was just that having held supreme power for so long, he had become somewhat arrogant.

Coupled with the Imperial Ancestor's seclusion and the deathly Qi, the internal strife within the Human Race had intensified.

Xiao Fan's previous attitude had angered him…

Furthermore, he had always been wary of the Zhao Family.

Or rather, he was wary of all the Five Great Families!

He initially thought that Xiao Fan's assertiveness might be related to the Zhao Family!

So he also wanted to take the opportunity to test the Zhao Family's stance.

Once the Imperial Ancestor truly passed away…

And if the Demon and Monster Races didn't attack and swallow them up…

Would the other great families harbor rebellious intentions?

One could say… those in power always overthink things.

Even in this broken Youming Prefecture!

But now.

Everything was vastly different from what he had expected.

Xiao Fan's strength was absolutely terrifying!

He could effortlessly suppress the many experts Kong Su had sent!

But for him to personally condescend and go there…

What would happen to his Face as the King of Youming Prefecture?

He thought for a moment, then took out a communication jade slip and sent a message back to the Ancestor of the Zhao Family.

Previously, the Ancestor of the Zhao Family had sent a message telling him… not to offend Xiao Fan, as he was the hope of the Human Race.

Now he wanted to message the Ancestor of the Zhao Family.

To have him act as a mediator.

To ask Xiao Fan to give him some Face and personally come to the Imperial City for an audience.

"Things have come to this; there's no other way…"

Kong Su's Face was ashen!

…

…

Zhao Family Main Manor.

Inside the Great Hall.

"Lord Xiao… what do you think of this matter?!"

The Ancestor of the Zhao Family said to Xiao Fan with a sycophantic smile.

He had already conveyed Kong Su's suggestion.

"Hehehe… not much. Tell Kong Su to come see me. He has one day. If he doesn't arrive, then it's time for a new King of Youming Prefecture."

Xiao Fan said indifferently, taking a sip of tea as he spoke.

"Big Brother, what do you think of me? Replace Kong Su and let me be the King of Youming Prefecture!"

At this moment, Wei Zhongshan leaned in and said with a grin.

"You?" Xiao Fan sized him up, nearly spitting out the tea he had just sipped!

"You'd better stick to visiting houses…"

"Uh… alright then." Wei Zhongshan scratched his head helplessly.

The Ancestor of the Zhao Family had a bitter smile on his Face.

The Head of the Zhao Family, standing to the side, didn't even dare to voice an opinion.

From Xiao Fan's tone… it seemed he truly intended to replace the Youming Prefecture Imperial Family!

This… this was actual rebellion!!

The Ancestor of the Zhao Family departed and relayed Xiao Fan's stance.

…

When Kong Su learned of the situation, he flew into a towering rage!!

"Damn it, damn it… this little beast really thinks he's invincible!!"

Kong Su was, after all, the current King of Youming Prefecture, the true holder of power!

And yet.

Xiao Fan didn't give him any Face at all.

He only gave him one day.

If he didn't go to see him, then he wouldn't have to be King anymore!!

Who did he think he was? The Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces?

"Argh!!!"

Kong Su let out a furious roar: "Pass down the order! Summon all the strong to return!"
