Chapter 745: Chapter 254: Empress Ye Hongyan in Trouble! (4586 words)
“Boom!”
Li Fengxing’s body burst with a surge of Qi strength.
“Hahaha, hahahaha!”
Li Fengxing burst into laughter: “I’m finally ahead of you guys! My confidence is back!”
Three Void Demons stood obediently before Li Fengxing.
Chu Xuan and Ye Hao had each signed a contract with a Void Demon.
Plus their previously controlled beasts, Chu Xuan and Ye Hao now both had five Guardian Beasts each.
Meanwhile, with Chen Fan’s help, Shen Hongxiu, Fang Qingqing, Shen Daodao, and Bai Ruge each signed contracts with two Void Demons, bringing their total number of Guardian Beasts to five as well.
Unexpectedly, Li Fengxing had signed contracts with three Void Demons all at once!
This thrilled Li Fengxing. With narrowed eyes, he glanced at Ye Hao, Chu Xuan, and the others, looking proud and confident.
Bai Ruge, feeling irritated, kicked him: “What are you so smug about? Wasn’t it my Junior Uncle who helped you sign the contracts? Without his help, you couldn’t have signed anything!”
“Hehehehe!” Li Fengxing looked at Chen Fan and scratched his head sheepishly.
“What’s going on?” Shen Hongxiu asked in surprise, “Chu Xuan is already in the Sixth-Rank Realm, and his mental power is clearly much higher than Li Fengxing’s. How can Li Fengxing sign a contract with an extra Void Demon?”
Li Fengxing arrogantly grinned: “Because my talent is stronger than Chu Xuan’s!”
Everyone was speechless.
In the world of Guardian Beastmasters, talent was indeed measured by the number of controlled Guardian Beasts.
Being able to sign more Guardian Beasts represented stronger talent.
But…
Fang Qingqing held back her laughter and said, “Now that you’ve signed contracts with three Void Demons all at once, don’t bother playing Gomoku anymore. Just focus on cultivating. You should be able to break through to the Fifth-grade Realm in one go.”
Li Fengxing clenched his fist, and a surge of Qi strength burst onto his palm.
Then, he said indifferently, “My current strength is not weak compared to the Fifth-grade Realm… To break through to it will be a piece of cake!”
“The most important thing is that I now have six Guardian Beasts, and three of them are 28th-level Void Demons!”
“When Brother Fan helps my Guardian Beasts make breakthroughs, my strength will soar dramatically, leaving you all far behind!”
“You guys… Hey? Don’t leave me behind, wait for me!”
While Li Fengxing was basking in self-admiration, Shen Hongxiu, Ye Hao, and the others were pulled into the Beastmaster’s Space by Chen Fan.
…
Demon City.
At Chen Fan’s house.
The Lame, three-legged person and Li Mu sat beside the stone table.
Two virtual screens stood in front of Li Mu.
One screen showed Zhang Jiang, Chen Fan’s master’s brother, who was stationed in Imperial City.
The other screen showed Cold River Snow, Ye Wushuang’s master, who was guarding Demon City.
Zhang Jiang looked roughly the same age as Li Mu, with a resolute face full of determination.
Cold River Snow looked much younger and didn’t look like Ye Wushuang’s master but more like Ye Wushuang’s sister.
With a serious face, Zhang Jiang asked, “Do you want me to go to Demon City?”
Li Mu shook his head: “No, if you came to Demon City, who would manage the Imperial City?”
Cold River Snow’s face paled, her eyes darkened, “Li Mu, if something happens to Chen Fan, I will kill you!”
Li Mu forced a smile and said, “I can’t control these things either. I never thought he would go from the Ancient Divine Domain to the 5th Restricted Area’s barrier… ”
Cold River Snow snorted coldly without saying anything else.
Zhang Jiang frowned and asked again, “There is still no response from the Far North?”
Li Mu shook his head: “I’m afraid something has happened… ”
“I have a unique connection method with Ye Hongyan, but now I can’t contact her.”
“The Demon Race people said that the Empress left, but know nothing about where she went.”
Cold River Snow raised her eyebrows: “She left the Far North?”
“What’s going on?”
“Li Mu, are you still hiding something from us?”
Zhang Jiang also looked at Li Mu with annoyance.
Li Mu remained silent for a moment before he said, “My mole in Nightmare Hall has sent me a piece of news… ”
“Three days ago, the Eastern Domain Demon King and the Western Domain Demon King went to the Far North.”
“What!” Zhang Jiang was shocked: “Why didn’t you say something earlier?!”
Li Mu replied, “I just received the news.”
The Lame spoke up at this point, “Nightmare Hall is trying to take advantage of you guys focusing your attention on Demon City’s 5th Secret Realm to get rid of Ye Hongyan once and for all.”
“After all, Ye Hongyan holds a Five-colored Divine Stone too.”
“Killing Ye Hongyan and stealing the Five-colored Divine Stone from her would be much easier than getting the Divine Stone from the 5th Restricted Area.”
“Although they don’t know the situation in the barrier of the 5th Restricted Area, even if the Demon King and his forces were to face them all at once, it would be useless.”
Zhang Jiang said in a solemn voice, “Eighteen years ago, the Eastern Domain Demon King and the Western Domain Demon King were severely injured by Qingcheng. They are incredibly strong, and it’s unknown whether their injuries have healed after all these years… Have you not received any distress signals from Ye Hongyan?”
“None.” Li Mu shook his head.
Cold River Snow said, “I’ll go to the Far North! If Ye Hongyan is in trouble, the world will be in chaos!”
This time, Li Mu did not object.
If something happened to Ye Hongyan, the Five-colored Divine Stone might fall into the hands of Nightmare Hall.
By then, Nightmare Hall would be unstoppable!
On the other hand, the Centaurs of the Far North might flood into Blue Star like a tidal wave, adding insult to injury to the already monster-ravaged world.
Li Mu took a deep breath, turned to the Lame, and bowed to them.
