“But as for the other plan, the one about the secret realm, we do know a little bit about that…
“After our people entered the secret realm, they set up a Heavenly Array in it, using the monsters’ Crystal Cores to enhance the power of the array, and then searched for the passage between the secret realm and the different world.”
“Looking for a way back to the Heavenly Feather Realm?” Chen Fan’s lips slightly curled up.
Chiyoko had already mentioned this to him earlier.
The triangular-eyed man was taken aback.
Why did this young man know so much despite his young age?
Chen Fan continued asking, “With all of your commanders killed in East Sea
City, what are you still doing here?”
The triangular-eyed man shook his head and said, “We received orders to hold our ground and do nothing.”
“But a few days ago, we received information telling us to come to the 2nd
Secret Realm to kill a Ghost-faced Giant Lizard at Level 12 and retrieve its Crystal Core.”
“To get the Crystal Core of the Ghost-faced Giant Lizard…”
Chen Fan interrupted, “In order to break the Ancient Array?”
‘ The triangular-eyed man’s eyes widened: “Who… Who exactly are you?
How do you know so much?”
Chen Fan smiled slightly: “I know a lot more than you’d imagine.”
That’s all I know.
Don’t tell me any more, or I won’t know anything at all.
Chen Fan looked at the triangular-eyed man with a mocking smile.
The triangular-eyed man stared at Chen Fan, feeling as if he was shrouded in an indescribable mysterious fog.
He took a deep breath before saying, “I originally had no way of knowing about the Ancient Array due to my rank.”
“But when several of our superiors were preparing to sneak into East Sea City to capture Fan Ling, I accidentally overheard them…”
“I heard that the Ancient Array was in a restricted area outside of Demon City.” “Both the Sky Demon Sect and Nightmare Hall have set their sights on that restricted area.”
“It’s said that the Ancient Array contains the ‘Five-colored Divine Stone’ which has the power to alter the world…”
“As long as we can obtain that Five-colored Divine Stone, controlling Blue Star would be a breeze!”
“But I have no idea what that Five-colored Divine Stone actually is.”
“Five-colored Divine Stone, restricted area…” Chen Fan stroked his chin.
Chiyoko hadn’t mentioned the Five-colored Divine Stone before, so he didn’t know if she had deliberately hidden it, or if she genuinely didn’t know.
And Chiyoko had said that the Array was in a secret realm, not a restricted area.
There’s a significant difference between secret realms and restricted areas.
If the people from Tang Country searched all the secret realms in Demon City, turning each of them upside down, they still wouldn’t find it.
That woman, Chiyoko…
Chen Fan nodded slightly and continued, “There are military forces guarding every secret realm in East Sea City, including strongmen from the Black Armor Army.”
“But you guys come and go as you please, like it’s your own house…”
“Who in East Sea City is helping you?”
“I don’t know.” The triangular-eyed man shook his head.
Chen Fan frowned, pinching the triangular-eyed man’s chin, preparing to pour that half-bottle of water into his mouth.
“Ugh!”
The triangular-eyed man showed a look of fear and struggled to say, “I really don’t know!”
Chen Fan loosened his grip and said faintly, “You’ve been talking for quite a while, but you’ve only mentioned things I already know… Although I don’t know about the Five-colored Divine Stone, you didn’t reveal any information about it, did you?”
The triangular-eyed man wanted to cry, “What I just told you is classified information!”
Chen Fan pondered, “I’ve encountered several people from Nightmare Hall before, but strangely, all of them were Star Martial Artists.”
“Doesn’t Nightmare Hall have any Guardian Beastmasters?”
“Yes!” Eager to show his value, the triangular-eyed man immediately said, “Of course Nightmare Hall has Guardian Beastmasters; there are many of them. But there are even more Star Martial Artists!”
“The reason is very simple…”
“It’s because Nightmare Hall has a way to help Star Martial Artists contract with demon-attribute Guardian Beasts!”
“What!” Chen Fan was shocked.
The difference between Guardian Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists is that Star Martial Artists can only cultivate themselves and cannot contract with Guardian Beasts!
Star Martial Artists do not have Beastmaster’s Space!
Nightmare Hall actually has a way to help Star Martial Artists contract with demon-attribute Guardian Beasts?
Chen Fan stared at the triangular-eyed man and asked, “So, the reason you guys didn’t summon any demons after I slashed you was that you hadn’t contracted with any demons yet?”
“That’s right!” The triangular-eyed man said, “We need to be at least in the Fourth Realm before they’ll let demons form contracts with us.”
“All three of us are only in the Grade 2 Heavenly Realm 3, far from reaching the Fourth Realm.”
After reaching the Fourth Realm, Nightmare Hall can help Star Martial Artists contract with demons…
No wonder Nightmare Hall has such a large force… Just for this one point alone, the Star Martial Artists of the world would probably rush to join Nightmare Hall!
However, the Five-grade strongman who chased Zhen Qing and Ye Hao before didn’t summon any demons. Did they not have any, or did they just not summon them?
I’ll ask Ye Hao about it later.
Chen Fan felt a storm brewing in his heart but kept a stoic expression on his face.
With that thought, Chen Fan beckoned Chu Xuan from the side.
Chu Xuan came over, holding the hooked-nose man.
Chen Fan flipped the knife handle and knocked out both the triangular-eyed man and the hooked-nose man with two strikes.
Then he asked, “What did the hooked-nose man say about the Ancient Array?”
