CHAPTER 284: CHAPTER 279: ADMISSION

"This guy..." Luo Qingyan glanced at Li Fan’s back. The Jiao Dragon had extremely strong defenses, able to have its head severed in an instant. This showed the sharpness of that broken sword. Li Fan had not used it in front of them before, but it must be a very powerful magical treasure.

His gaze swept around the surroundings, where the dead demons had reverted to their original forms, occupying a large area.

These were all slain by Li Fan alone.

Foundation Establishment slaying Condensed Core; one could call him a genius. But this Foundation Establishment slew more than ten Condensed Core ranks, including a demon comparable to the Mid Stage of Condensed Core. What does this mean?

The crowd watching from afar were also shocked, silently gazing at the silhouette in white.

Who is this young man?

Li Fan descended, smiling, "Looks like everyone can feast today."

Fifth Realm demons, apart from the Demon Core, their muscles and flesh can also be supplements. The body of this Jiao Dragon can be used as raw materials for refining magical treasures.

"Makes sense. We shouldn’t waste it," Meng Hong laughed heartily, moving forward to drag the Jiao Demon’s body toward the courtyard, saying, "With so much meat, I’m afraid we’ll eat ourselves full."

"If we can’t finish it, we can sell it. If Brother Meng wants anything from these demons, you can take it. If not, just throw it away," Li Fan said.

"It’s delivered to us; throwing it away would be wasteful. We can trade it for something we need," Meng Hong replied. "However, after this battle, I’m afraid..."

The Song Family had investigated them before; Song Siyu personally probed their strength, but Li Fan concealed his abilities.

This battle’s news will definitely reach the Song Family. They’ll naturally wonder if we killed Song Boling.

"No need to worry so much. With demons causing chaos, the West Emperor Palace also has to deal with demons. As for the Song Family, Song Boling colluded with Old Monster Li to kill and rob treasures; he deserved death," Li Fan said nonchalantly.

The Song Family is the Song Family, and the West Emperor Palace is the West Emperor Palace.

Even if Song Boling from the Song Family dies, surely the West Emperor Palace won’t openly support them. It wouldn’t look good either.

If this issue does not escalate, even if Song Siyu came with people to kill him, the West Emperor Palace wouldn’t be implicated.

But Song Siyu cannot kill him.

"Makes sense. Then let’s feast first," Meng Hong laughed. Since Li Fan says so, he naturally isn’t afraid of the Song Family.

The strongest from the Song Family on West Emperor Island is Song Boling’s father, at the Late-stage of Condensation, who holds a position at West Emperor Palace. Judging by Li Fan’s performance, he likely has a trump card and isn’t afraid of cultivators at the Late-stage of Condensation.

Moreover, the Song Family would need to rely on Song Siyu’s connections to summon stronger Qi Cultivators. Song Siyu’s master is an elder at West Emperor Palace, with Sixth Realm Dao Body level cultivation.

"The demons of the sea have boldly come to the island. Compared to the Song Family, we need to be more wary of Jiao Demon Island," Li Fan said, aside from killing Song Boling, he also killed the Young Master of Jiao Demon Island, whose Island Master is a Great Demon Jiao Dragon of Sixth Realm.

Before long, the courtyard was filled with the aroma of grilled meat, wafting in the air. Cultivators nearby looked toward this direction, seeing Li Fan and the others eating Jiao Dragon meat, making them a bit envious.

Of course, they were only envious; these guys had thoroughly offended Jiao Demon Island.

Li Fan couldn’t care less. He already killed the Young Master of Jiao Demon Island; why worry about offending them further?

After eating and drinking their fill, Li Fan continued cultivating, consuming Demon Cores and taking pills, all aids for cultivation.

Now he has many Demon Cores on him. After killing Han Qingzi, he also obtained many pills, naturally, he couldn’t waste them.

Since he started cultivating, his foundation has been stable, his Foundation Establishment is of top-tier root bone, so even using external aids for cultivation won’t affect his fundamental path and can even speed up his cultivation.

Currently, for Li Fan, the most important thing is to condense his core as soon as possible to face the changes in the West Sea territories.

Sun Zhao and Meng Hong took the leftover demon corpses to the city for sale. Eating grilled Jiao Dragon meat was already sufficient; extra demon corpses could be exchanged for cultivation materials.

The demons heading for West Emperor Palace retreated, traversing high in the sky, leaving no one on West Emperor Island daring to act rashly.

Soon, news spread from the West Emperor Palace, quickly disseminating on West Emperor Island.

"The demons attempted to negotiate with West Emperor Palace, wanting the palace to withdraw from the island, to let them have it. West Emperor Palace refused, talks broke down."

When Meng Hong and the others returned, they relayed the news to Li Fan.

"Fortunately, West Emperor Palace did not agree. If they withdrew, it would truly be a catastrophe for the cultivators on West Emperor Island," Luo Qingyan said.

West Emperor Palace is the strongest force on the island. Without it, the demon army encircling the sea might easily sweep over West Emperor Island.

"According to the rumors, a Seven Realm Great Demon will lead the demon army, intending to swallow the entire island. Their goal might be the entire West Sea territories," Meng Hong added. "It seems highly likely that the Great Demon Nine Infant is making a comeback."

"The sea demons want the entire West Sea," Li Fan murmured. If so, the Land of the West Sea will face a massive disaster, affecting not just West Emperor Island.

"Many years ago, humans and demons in the West Sea area constantly waged war. If it weren’t for the Sun and Moon Palace overseeing it, the Land of the West Sea might have already been ruled by demons. Now, after over a decade of peace, demons are making a comeback."

Li Fan knew that a thousand years ago, the world was amidst chaotic warfare. It was the Li Mountain Sword Ancestor and the Da Li Dynasty’s ancestors who swept through the world to bring peace. In that era, it was probably the most chaotic time.

After the Da Li Dynasty unified the lands, its control over the sea areas was still not very strong. The West Sea area had always been a place of chaos.

Though calm for over ten years, now, it merely returns to its former state.

"So, is a war about to break out?" Li Fan looked at Meng Hong and the others, asking.

"I’m afraid it’s unavoidable." Meng Hong nodded, "With negotiations broken down, the demon army will surely invade West Emperor Island. This island’s decade-long peace is likely coming to an end."

As Li Fan and his group were chatting, a group of silhouettes appeared grandly in the distant sky, led by Song Han, the leader of the Song Family and also the uncle of Song Boling, who had come before.

"The Song Family is here," Meng Hong said.

Li Fan glanced in that direction, seeing Song Han leading the Song Family cultivators as they approached and halted in the air, his gaze fixed on Li Fan.

Last time he came, he was actually deceived by the opponent.

At this moment, he carefully observed Li Fan’s physique and indeed found it remarkably similar to the man in black robes that day.

"I heard you killed a Jiao Demon and over ten Fifth Realm demons?" Song Han lowered his gaze to Li Fan and asked.

"If you’ve heard, why ask again?" Li Fan looked up indifferently at the opponent, causing Song Han to squint his eyes. At this moment, Li Fan was completely different from the one when he came last time; there was no previous sign of weakness.

"So, are you the person from that island?" Song Han’s eyes stared at Li Fan.

"It’s me." Li Fan responded frankly.

"Boom..." As he finished speaking, Song Han and others surged with mana, readying themselves for action as silhouettes moved forward.

"So, did you also kill Song Boling?" Song Han continued to ask.

"Song Boling colluded with Old Demon Li, plotted against the cultivators attending the trade event, teamed up with Old Demon Li to murder and loot, deserved to be killed." Li Fan responded, "Since the Song Family ignored this, I had to take the matter into my own hands, cleaning up your family for you."

Song Han was silent for a moment after hearing Li Fan’s words, having just heard about Li Fan’s extraordinary combat power, being able to kill a mid-stage Fifth Realm Jiao Dragon, he was probably not a threat to Li Fan.

"You are indeed bold, killing my Song Family member, and still speaking so arrogantly." Song Han said sternly.

"I have already said that Song Boling deserved to die. If your Song Family seeks revenge for Song Boling, then I believe Song Boling acted under the Song Family’s instructions, and thus, the Song Family deserves the same fate."

Li Fan said, "Going to act?"

Song Han stared at Li Fan, his aura surging, but ultimately dared not act rashly. With a wave of his sleeve, he turned around and said, "Yang Qingshan, see you again."

With that, he left with the Song Family members.

Seeing the Song Family members disappear, Luo Qingyan said, "The Song Family will certainly not let go of Song Boling’s death; Song Han didn’t act only because he is wary of your power. He probably has gone to the West Emperor Palace to inform his brother and Song Siyu. Why not just ’leave’ them here? It would spare you from dealing with them in the future."

"I have already said. I killed Song Boling because he deserved it, but as for other Song Family members, unless they act first, I currently have no reason to harm them." Li Fan responded.

"You certainly have principles, but others may not have such principles." Luo Qingyan said with a smile, this guy had killed Song Boling and Old Demon Li, then tricked and killed Han Qingzi, resembling a ruthless person, yet he has this side to him.

West Emperor Palace was not as peaceful as usual; its cultivators were preparing for the upcoming battle.

In one place, Song Xiang and his daughter Song Siyu listened to Song Han’s words with different expressions.

"He is so arrogant." Song Xiang’s aura surged, his eyes showing a murderous intent.

"You say he killed over a dozen Fifth Realm demons and even a mid-stage Fifth Realm Jiao Dragon?" Song Siyu stared at Song Han and asked, "That day I probed his combat power. Even if there’s some hiding, it’s impossible for him to kill a mid-stage Fifth Realm Jiao Dragon."

"Maybe he used magical treasures or other means, but this youth’s combat power shouldn’t be underestimated." Song Han said, "I had to come here."

"I’ll take his life." Song Xiang said coldly, but Song Siyu said, "Father, calm down first."

"Siyu." Song Xiang looked at her.

"This youth acknowledged it frankly, must have some reliance, and with such innate combat power, he likely has an extraordinary background." Song Siyu said, making Song Xiang pause and calm down a bit.

"Even so, can’t let your brother’s death go unavenged." Song Xiang said.

"Of course, he must be avenged, but it’s not fit for the Song Family to intervene directly. Under the name of the West Emperor Palace, I’ll go capture him, that way, even if there’s power behind him, they can’t do anything against the West Emperor Palace." Song Siyu said.

Song Xiang fell silent, clenched his fists; although wanting to go straight to revenge, Song Siyu’s words made sense.
