Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Exposing Each Other's Scars Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Exposing Each Other's Scars The atmosphere in the arena suddenly froze.
The first thing the Demon Emperor did upon arriving was to look for Jiang Fan?
Did Jiang Fan do something that made the Demon Emperor very concerned?
Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat.
He cupped his hands and said: “Yes!”
Due to being bound by chains on his feet, he moved slowly with tiny steps.
The Demon Emperor frowned slightly.
He impatiently waved his sleeve.
Jiang Fan felt the world spinning, and when he reappeared, the Demon Emperor's face was already close at hand.
This technique!
Jiang Fan was secretly shocked.
Even a Ninth Layer Core Formation practitioner couldn't possibly do this, right?
Facing the Demon Emperor at such a close distance.
He could even hear the Demon Emperor's steady and powerful breathing.
Like an ancient ferocious beast asleep in the dark abyss.
Jiang Fan tried hard to remain calm, to avoid showing any flaws to the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor picked up the chains on Jiang Fan's body and examined them closely.
His gaze swept over every inch of the chains.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but feel anxious.
Was the Demon Emperor suspecting that he could unlock the chains?
“How did you win last night?”
After examining the chains and finding no flaws.
The Demon Emperor lifted his eyes and gazed into Jiang Fan's.
It turned out he was very suspicious that Jiang Fan, despite being bound, could still severely beat Mu Ziyu.
Suspecting that Jiang Fan might have temporarily unlocked the chains.
So that's what's being asked!
Jiang Fan felt relieved, calmly responding: “Caught the opponent off guard.”
The Demon Emperor pondered briefly.
No matter how off guard, the opponent was a Jiedan Eighth Layer practitioner.
Could Jiang Fan beat the opponent like that?
However, Jiang Fan took action for his daughter after all.
Since he didn't break free from the chains, it was fine.
“I heard Ling Shu gave you a bottle of Memory Silver Water. Let me see it.”
Jiang Fan's heart tightened.
He guessed it right.
The Demon Emperor truly didn't trust the Memory Silver Water.
He had to look at it himself to be assured.
If he took out the Memory Silver Sand now, it would benefit the Demon Emperor for nothing.
He silently took out the jade bottle.
The Demon Emperor took it in his hand, examined it meticulously, even closed his eyes and used his powerful Nascent Soul soul power to probe.
Moments later, disappointment flickered in his eyes.
“It seems truly wasted.”
The Demon Emperor murmured softly, helplessly tossing the jade bottle back to Jiang Fan.
Even the Tiger Demon Emperor, close to Divinity Transformation Realm, could do nothing about it.
He didn't think keeping it would be of any use to him.
So he simply returned it to Jiang Fan.
Feeling a secret relief, Jiang Fan stuck it into his sleeve and said:
“Does the Demon Emperor have any other instructions?”
The Demon Emperor revealed a trace of a smile, patting him on the shoulder:
“You performed well last night.”
“If you wholeheartedly serve my demon tribe, it's not impossible to consider unlocking the chains in the future.”
Jiang Fan scoffed inwardly.
The chains could be unlocked at any time, what kind of reward is that?
“Thank you, Demon Emperor.” Jiang Fan cupped his fists.
The Demon Emperor nodded and waved his sleeve.
Jiang Fan felt the world spinning again and found himself back beside Liu Li.
At this moment.
Outside the main hall, the sound of gongs resonated, flags fluttered.
A long procession grandly approached the Demon Emperor Palace.
The demon tribes watched intently.
The North Sea Demon Tribe delegation had arrived!
Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, the procession entered the Demon Emperor Palace.
Leading the group was Yu Qingxuan, followed by four deputy envoys.
Then came four imposing and powerful young sea demons.
They were the sea demon tribe prodigies here for an exchange.
“Yu Qingxuan, under the orders of the North Sea Demon Emperor, leads the tribe to see the Sky Demon Emperor.”
Yu Qingxuan was the first to salute.
Those behind him respectfully followed suit, not daring to slack off.
Usually looking down on the mainland demons.
But the one before them was a Demon Emperor, deserving the highest respect.
“Rise and be seated.”
The Demon Emperor smiled.
Yu Qingxuan cupped his fists: “Thank you, Sky Demon Emperor.”
After everyone had taken their seats.
They began exchanging ceremonial greetings.
The Demon Emperor said: “I heard the North Sea has been unsettled lately.”
“Your tribe has suffered considerable casualties, do you need assistance?”
Oh?
Everyone was secretly surprised.
So, the North Sea Demon Tribe encountered big trouble.
Yu Qingxuan's face stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal. He smiled and cupped his hands:
“Thank you for your concern, Sky Demon Emperor.”
“The incident has been resolved, although our tribe suffered some casualties, we also gained much.”
“We unexpectedly discovered a Divinity Transformation relic hidden deep in the sea.”
He hadn't expected the Sky Demon Emperor to be so well-informed!
So quickly aware of the North Sea Demon Tribe's incident.
This time, the North Sea Demon Emperor specifically instructed him not to deepen animosity between the tribes.
One reason was that the North Sea Demon Tribe suffered great losses this time.
It's not beneficial to make enemies externally.
Divinity Transformation relic?
The Demon Emperor's pupils widened in shock.
He only knew that recently, a great upheaval occurred in the North Sea.
Something fierce emerged from the North Sea.
Causing significant casualties among the North Sea Demon Tribe.
According to his information, three Ninth Layer Core Formation experts fell.
There were over a dozen Ninth Layer Core Formation practitioners among the casualties.
The number of lower-level tribe members couldn't even be counted.
But it hadn't occurred to him that the North Sea Demon Tribe found fortune in disaster, discovering a Divinity Transformation relic!
A hint of envy grew in his eyes.
Why didn't such a great opportunity happen to the Mainland Demon Tribe?
Yu Qingxuan's eyes sparkled, he said: “I also heard that your tribe seems to be at war with the Human Clan?”
“And suffered considerable losses.”
“Rumor has it the Dead Spirit Army was completely annihilated.”
“Your tribe's Dead Spirit Army is a rare and formidable force, the North Sea Demon Emperor has often expressed envy.”
“Losing them like this is truly unfortunate!”
Was it a mutual revealing of scars?
Who's afraid of whom!
Now.
It was the Demon Emperor and the seated demons' turn to feel awkward.
Jiang Fan found it amusing.
The two sides were discrediting each other.
He grabbed the fruits on the table, enjoying them as he listened with a grin.
“Ahem…” The Demon Emperor cleared his throat.
“Master Yu's information is not up-to-date.”
“It's true our Dead Spirit Army was defeated.”
“But the main culprit has been successfully captured by the demon race.”
Yu Qingxuan chuckled.
“Main culprit?”
“What kind of culprit is so capable to destroy a ten-thousand-strong Dead Spirit Army?”
He felt the Demon Emperor's excuse was somewhat far-fetched.
A battlefield of tens of thousands, how grand?
Could a mere one or two individuals change the outcome?
Unless that person was at the Nascent Soul level.
The Demon Emperor took a sip of his wine, nonchalantly saying:
“Before last night, Deputy Envoy Mu never thought he'd be severely beaten by a junior.”
Yu Qingxuan's smile froze.
This matter was only known to him and the Demon Emperor.
But now it was revealed in front of the entire demon tribe's high ranks and the delegation.
Immediately making him feel incredibly embarrassed.
Furiously, he retorted: “That's still better than having a single person wipe out a ten-thousand-strong Dead Spirit Army!”
The Demon Emperor also secretly fumed.
Grasping the demon tribe's sore spot endlessly, huh?
He heavily put down his wine cup and called: “Jiang Fan!”
“Tell Master Yu loudly, what stage are you at?”
Swish, swish, swish–
With the words spoken.
The eyes of the demon tribe all turned sharply to Jiang Fan, who was cheerfully munching on a melon.
Jiang Fan was taken aback.
I was eating your tribes' melons!
What has this to do with me?
He put down the melon and said: “I… just broke through to the Fourth Layer Core Formation this morning!”
“So, last night, you were still at the Third Level of Core Formation.”
The Demon Emperor said with a smile that wasn't a smile: “A dignified Eighth Layer Core Formation practitioner from the North Sea Demon Tribe.”
“Couldn't defeat a junior at the Third Layer of Core Formation.”
“Such a result has never happened in our mainland demon tribe.”
Yu Qingxuan was shocked!
The opponent was not only a junior but was at the Third Level of Core Formation?
He had always thought it was one of the top juniors of the demon race, at least around the Seventh Layer of Core Formation.
Who knew, it was only the Third Layer of Core Formation!
“How is this possible?”
Yu Qingxuan looked at Jiang Fan, noticing his hands and feet were bound, and couldn't help but be confused.
In this kind of setting, why was someone bound by chains?
Then he realized: “You are the Human Clan's captive?”
“The one who annihilated the ten-thousand-strong Dead Spirit Army?”
He laughed.
Suddenly, he didn't feel embarrassed anymore.
“Haha, ten-thousand-strong Dead Spirit Army, destroyed by a junior at the Third Layer of Core Formation.”
“Compared to this, Deputy Envoy Mu being beaten by him isn't embarrassing at all.”
Hmph!
The Demon Emperor's face darkened.
He said heavily: “Jiang Fan!”
“You were there!”
“Say, who is more embarrassing?”
Jiang Fan was dumbfounded.
