Chapter 147: Light Cocoon

The battle between the two strongest disciples of the sect began hastily and ended just as swiftly.

Yet none of the disciples present to witness it dared claim that the fight was anything short of spectacular.

Even in the end, the two had unleashed their full strength, resulting in an outcome that was nearly a draw!

“They say Overlord Peak is no match for Holy Son Peak, but I think Senior Sister Fang Xue is terrifyingly strong too!”

“Indeed, didn’t someone just say it? Senior Sister Fang Xue has grasped the Domain Power that only those in the Three Blossoms Realm can control!”

“But doesn’t that make the Holy Son even more impressive? Even against the Domain Power of the Three Blossoms Realm, he still fought his way out!”

“Too terrifying…”

An elderly man with a white beard looked to the young Lin Yi beside him and smiled:

“Well? Do you still think the Holy Son is all talk and no substance?”

Lin Yi curled his lips and sneered coldly, “He was just born a few years earlier, that’s all. Give me five years, and I’ll kill him like a dog!”

The white-bearded elder’s breath hitched slightly, then he said gruffly:

“So confident—five years to catch up to the Holy Son? Don’t forget he’s a genius too. He’ll improve as well!”

Who knew Lin Yi would just scoff.

“Five years if it’s me, but if it’s Brother Gu, two years will be enough! If you don’t believe it, Old Ancestor, just wait and see—within two years, Brother Gu will return to the sect for revenge!”

“Hehe, fine, I’ll be waiting to see whether your Brother Gu has the ability.”

With that, the two of them walked slowly toward the sect. Under the elder’s feet, a bridge of Divine Light Rainbow formed, carrying them away.

After the great battle ended, Fang Xue returned to Overlord Peak and vomited three liters of blood as soon as she landed.

Clearly, her injuries were far more severe than they appeared—she had only been holding on by sheer will.

The disciples of Overlord Peak quickly surrounded her, but Fang Xue waved her hand to stop them.

“I am fine. For the next half year, I will be in seclusion. Unless it’s something important, do not disturb me!”

The crowd exchanged glances and then nodded:

“Yes, Senior Sister!”

Fang Xue nodded in return and staggered back to her cultivation chamber, beginning her healing seclusion.

Meanwhile, the other disciples of Overlord Peak could only look at one another and withdraw with concern.

In the days that followed, Brahma God Sect returned to its usual peaceful routine.

But the earth-shattering battle between the two was still passed from mouth to mouth by many.

The story evolved from its original version—that Fang Xue, the Peak Master of Overlord Peak, had challenged the sect’s strongest disciple, the Holy Son, to avenge her junior brother.

Gradually, it changed into another version: the domineering Peak Master, in fury for the sake of her beloved junior brother, cleaved off one of the Holy Son’s arms!

Later, the tale became that the Holy Son had harbored affection for Fang Xue, but in jealousy had struck at Gu Fan, leading Fang Xue to challenge him for revenge on her beloved junior brother…

In short, the versions changed daily.

But the one who had triggered this whole affair—Gu Fan—remained completely unaware.

At that moment, in the Zombie World, Gu Fan slowly opened his eyes.

“I’ve finally accumulated enough Life Essence. I can now restore my body!”

Then Gu Fan glanced at the Evil Lotus, which was still absorbing Yuan Crystals beside him, and waved his large hand.

Streams of surging Life Essence continuously surged out, gathering in the air.

Eventually, they formed into massive clumps of Life Essence.

“With this much, it should be enough to restore myself, right?”

At that moment, the Evil Lotus nudged Gu Fan, conveying its thoughts.

“Haha, don’t worry. If it’s not enough, I won’t hold back from you. Just focus on devouring the Yuan Crystals!”

With that, Gu Fan opened his mouth wide and inhaled deeply, directly swallowing a massive lump of Life Essence into his body.

Instantly, Gu Fan’s body emitted a soft radiance, which grew more and more intense, until it finally seemed to transform into a cocoon of light!

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the hospital in the distance, three figures appeared.

“Sister Yan, did Boss really run into a formidable enemy this time?”

“Youyou! Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t!”

Chi Manman immediately rebuked her younger sister, then glanced apologetically at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan looked at the two of them and then said:

“Boss did indeed return this time with injuries he’s never had before. But for Boss, it’s not a major issue. Once he recovers, he’ll still be the same Boss.”

The meaning behind her words was clear—no matter how weakened Boss may seem, dealing with them would still be a walk in the park.

Of course, Xia Yan didn’t believe the two of them harbored any such thoughts.

Chi Youyou stuck out her tongue and smiled:

“I was worried that the Zheng brothers and Liao Tie would come and we wouldn’t be able to handle it. After all, all three of them are Level 7 Evolvers.”

Xia Yan just smiled. Originally, the leaders of the western and northern districts of the city included only two Level 7 Evolvers. With her own strength and a host of Evolvers under her command, she could still put up a fight.

However, not long ago, for some unknown reason, the younger brother of the leader of the western district had also broken through to Level 7. Now that family had two Level 7s, and they were blood-related brothers.

Xia Yan immediately felt tremendous pressure. Still, deterred by the mysterious Boss behind her, and all the rumors about this Boss, the Zheng brothers and Liao Tie didn’t attack directly. Instead, they claimed they wanted to “pay a visit” to Gu Fan.

But to everyone, their petty scheme was a joke. Visiting Gu Fan was clearly a pretense—their real goal was to test his strength.

After all, it had been a long time since Gu Fan last made a move. His past records were only around Level 5.

Now that all three were Level 7 powerhouses, they assumed that perhaps the mysterious Boss behind the hospital shelter was only of that level too, and had merely advanced earlier.

But the higher the level for Evolvers, the harder it became to progress. It was entirely possible that they were now all stuck at Level 7.

If that were the case, then a three-on-one battle would let them take the rich southern and eastern districts of the city with ease!

But how could Xia Yan not see through their intentions? In the past, she might truly have been worried.

But now? Heh.

After understanding the difference between Immortal Cultivation and Evolver abilities, she realized why Gu Fan’s every appearance had resulted in overwhelming domination—these were simply two completely different classes of power!

To put it bluntly, Gu Fan was like a max-level big boss, while this group of Evolvers were just newbies who had barely left the beginner village.

Even more terrifying was that this boss’s growth rate was faster than the newbies!

How could anyone keep playing at that point?

At that moment, Chi Manman smiled and said:

“Now that Boss is here, if those three Level 7 Evolvers dare to come, they probably won’t even know how they died.”

Xia Yan snapped back to attention, looked at the two, and said:

“Send someone to deliver a message. Just say our Boss has returned. Didn’t they want to visit him? Tell them Boss will be waiting here in three days. Let’s see if they dare show up!”

Chi Youyou, always fond of watching drama unfold, immediately responded and dashed off to deliver the message.

Xia Yan continued looking toward the cocoon of light beside the Blood Pool in the distance.

Last time, Gu Fan had told her to call for people, but because the other party wasn’t at the base, the chance was missed. Now that Gu Fan happened to be recovering at the base, it was the perfect opportunity to call them in.

She hoped to unite all survivor factions in Chi City.

The goal: to make sure that, from now on, Chi City would have only one leader—Gu Fan!
