Chapter 843: Chapter 284: Royal Family of the Sky Demon Race? (4136 words)_2
Chen Fan: “But I still came.”
The woman: “I knew you would come.”
Chen Fan: “Nonsense, wasn’t it you who the hell called me here?”
The woman: “…”
Chen Fan descended from the sky.
It was dark around him.
Only a few bizarre plants were emitting a strange red light.
In the darkness, that red light was like the eyes of a monster, causing one’s heart to palpitate.
This was a small valley.
Under the big tree ahead, a woman in a white dress sat.
This scene, this atmosphere, was very much like the encounter between a female ghost and a scholar in the tales of Liao Zhai.
But Chen Fan was no scholar.
Chen Fan’s expression subtly shifted.
The spiritual power he radiated had sensed two other presences.
Two men.
One hidden within the stone on his left.
One buried in the ground on his right.
Three at the seventh-grade mid-stage.
Demon City really did have tight security…
Ninth Grade Realm of Nightmare Hall almost didn’t dare to get close to Demon City.
Even those of the Eighth Grade Realm did not dare to show themselves casually.
As for those in the Sixth Realm and Seventh Realm, they basically couldn’t stir up any waves as long as they weren’t so fed up that they came out to swagger through the streets; the strongmen of Demon City wouldn’t be too concerned about them.
Chen Fan walked up to the woman in the white dress and said indifferently, “Speak.”
The woman stood up, gave Chen Fan a charming smile, and said, “Lord Mengmo, was he captured by Li Mu?”
Chen Fan’s face remained expressionless: “Knowing that Lord Mengmo has been captured, you still dare to come?”
The woman smiled and shook her head, “Li Mu, that kind of existence, won’t notice us little ants…”
“Since Lord Mengmo has already entered your dreams, I suppose you know some things, right?”
Chen Fan remained silent.
The woman in the white dress continued, “You can control demons; haven’t you ever wondered why you can do that?”
That’s because I damn well have a system… Chen Fan grinned and said, “How do you know that I can control demons?”
The woman in the white dress said, “Although Demon City is impregnable, our Nightmare Hall has its ways.”
“You’ve made a contract with demons, more than one, and such a thing cannot be concealed from us.”
“You conclude that I’m from the Sky Demon Race just based on this?” Chen Fan’s face grew a bit odd, “Because I’ve contracted a few demons, so you think I’m from the Sky Demon Race?”
“Of course not,” said the woman in the white dress. “That’s just the most direct characteristic of the Sky Demon Race.”
“Ahem…”
“Lord Mengmo and the others, in fact, had already confirmed your identity.”
“It’s just that, the reasons behind it, he didn’t tell us.”
Chen Fan’s gaze turned chilling, “So, you actually don’t know who my parents are?”
“I may not know, but there are people in Nightmare Hall who do,” the woman in the white dress said. “Chen Fan, there’s no doubt that the blood of the Sky Demon Race flows in your veins.”
“Among the countless races in this world, only the Sky Demon Race can control demons!”
“The Sky Demon Race can not only control demons but even allow Star Martial Artists like us, who haven’t Awakened the Beastmaster’s Space, to contract demons!”
Chen Fan said nothing.
The woman in the white dress went on, “Coming from Earth, not only were you able to contract multiple Guardian Beasts while your cultivation realm was still low, but your cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds; in just a few months, you reached the Sixth-Rank Realm…”
“Aside from the Sky Demon Race, no one can accomplish such things!”
“Lord Mengmo told me that you’re not just from the Sky Demon Race, but you’re also of the royal family of the Sky Demon Race!”
Royalty?
Chen Fan’s expression showed a slight change.
After Lord Mengmo infiltrated his dreamland, he had once referred to him as “Your Highness.”
Chen Fan tilted his head back slightly and said, “Aside from Lord Mengmo, who else in Nightmare Hall knows about my parents?”
The woman in the white dress said, “There is also Lord Fengmo.”
Chen Fan: “Where is Lord Fengmo now?”
The woman in the white dress: “In Star Nation.”
Chen Fan frowned slightly, “Are you playing me?”
“Of course not,” said the woman in the white dress. “Follow me to Star Nation, and I will take you to meet Lord Fengmo.”
Chen Fan tilted his head, “Is that all the information you have?”
The woman in the white dress smiled, “I believe that’s more than enough information.”
Chen Fan: “It’s a bit disappointing.”
The woman in the white dress: “But we are not disappointed.”
Chen Fan: “You lured me here to take me away?”
The woman in the white dress said, “Yes.”
Chen Fan asked, “What if I’m unwilling?”
The woman in the white dress replied, “You don’t have a choice.”
As soon as she said this…
“Snap!”
Chen Fan performed a Thunder Flash, appearing right before the woman in the white dress, and with a cracking sound, his right hand grasped above her head.
“No, I do.”
He applied a slight force with his palm, distorting the woman in the white dress’s face into a grimace as she was forced to kneel on one knee.
“You!”
Furious beyond measure, the woman’s hand glowed, and a short sword materialized out of thin air, stabbing into Chen Fan’s abdomen.
“Clang!”
The sound of clashing metals rang out.
“…” The woman in the white dress was stunned for a moment.
The very next moment, a mountain-collapsing, sea-overturning force surged into her body, instantly sealing all her meridians!
At this time, two men who had been hiding in the stones and underground, revealed themselves at once!
One knife and one sword crossed above Chen Fan’s neck like lightning!
“Let her go!”
One of the men said coldly, “Well boy, your move was quite fast, taking the initiative to attack first!”
“But no matter how capable you are, you won’t escape from my hand today!”
Chen Fan slightly tilted his head and asked, “Is the information you two have the same as hers?”
The man who had just spoken said, “If you want to know more, come with us. Once you meet Lord Fengmo, everything will become clear.”
“Don’t think just because you’re a royal of the Sky Demon Race that we wouldn’t dare to touch you!”
“Beating you half to death before taking you to Lord Fengmo won’t lead to any blame on us!”
Chen Fan said indifferently, “If that’s all the information you have, then…”
“You’re useless.”
No sooner had his words fallen than his right hand, which was clutching the woman’s head, squeezed slightly and with a crack, crushed her head!
“Damn it, how dare you…”
The two men behind were shocked, but they did not dare to actually strike Chen Fan’s neck with their weapons.
They both withdrew their arms and struck towards Chen Fan’s back!
“Snap!”
Chen Fan performed another Thunder Flash, moving behind the man wielding the knife, and with a hand-chop swift as lightning, struck down on his shoulder.
“Puchi!”
The man’s shoulder, as though cleaved by a sharp greatsword, slipped diagonally, his body severed in two!
“Impossible!”
The man holding the longsword stood petrified, then instantly drew back his sword, transforming into an escapist light that dove into the darkness!
At the same time, a summoning array appeared on the ground behind him, and a demon with three horns crawled out!
He was actually trying to use the demon to block Chen Fan’s pursuit!
“Thinking of running now? Isn’t it a bit too late?”
Chen Fan’s spiritual might locked onto the man and the demon, invoking “Whispers of the Demon King”.
“Rumbling!”
The man only felt as if a furious thunder exploded in his mind.
The very next moment, he had lost control of his body, abruptly turning midair and flying back towards Chen Fan!
And the demon that had just crawled out from the array, with a boom, lay prostrate on the ground, daring not to move an inch!
“…”
The man with the longsword had never witnessed such uncanny occurrences before, almost swearing in fright!
Regrettably, at this moment, he couldn’t even make a sound.
“Swoosh!”
He flew directly in front of Chen Fan, motionless as if he were a puppet.
A flash of red light shot from Chen Fan’s eyes as he immediately searched the man’s memory through the control of “Whispers of the Demon King”.
No additional information was found.
Just as that woman had said, the three servants of the Dream Demon only knew that Chen Fan might be a royal of the Sky Demon Race.
After the Dream Demon was captured by Li Mu, the three panicked and could only come up with this desperate strategy, risking an attempt to lure Chen Fan out and capture him for the Star Nation.
“Wasting my time…”
Chen Fan frowned and said, “Seeking you out is even less useful than looking for the Dream Demon.”
“However, you are somewhat useful, allowing me to see in your memory the method and process by which Nightmare Hall helped you contract with demons.”
As he spoke, Chen Fan’s right palm struck out like lightning, hitting the man on top of his head.
The man groaned, his body collapsing limply to the ground.
At the seventh-grade mid-stage, he had no power to resist!
Behind him, the demon suppressed by the “Whispers of the Demon King,” trembling all over, crawled fearfully, not daring to move!
