CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 301 IGNORED

Liu Zonglin finished speaking, and the Great Elder Murong Gang stepped forward, standing in mid-air and said loudly, "The Demon Slaying Summit officially commences. Since we are slaying demons, let’s first ’invite’ the demons."

As his voice fell, a procession came from afar, accompanied by the low roars and growls of demons.

Everyone looked towards them and saw that the Cultivators of West Emperor Palace were holding chains, having captured quite a few demons, and were moving towards the Martial Arts Arena.

Those demons were captives from the last battle, West Emperor Palace did not execute them, but reserved them for this Demon Slaying Summit.

"The Demon Slaying Summit uses demons as a sacrifice." Murong Gang announced aloud, as the Cultivators of West Emperor Palace placed each demon in the center of the Martial Arts Arena and unlocked their chains; they were all demons of the Fifth Realms.

The demons kept growling, their eyes flashing with a bloody light, staring at the human figures in the sky, knowing they were doomed.

"Which Cultivator is willing to take the lead and slay a demon?" Murong Gang asked.

"I am willing to give it a try." A Cultivator stepped out from the crowd, followed by several others, as there was more than one demon.

Amid the crowd, Li Fan sat quietly, watching the Cultivators who stepped out to fight the demons. Luo Qingyan beside him smiled and said, "The West Emperor Palace is quite innovative, but these demons are just captives and can be easily slain. What can be seen from this? Ultimately, it’s the battles between Cultivators that matter."

"It’s a demon slaying summit after all, naturally, it requires some pretext for slaying demons." Meng Hong beside them also laughed.

At this time, the battle had already erupted; the Cultivators who stepped out unleashed their spells, attacking the demons in the Martial Arts Arena. As predicted, the demons were soon cleaned out, all being exterminated.

However, those who appeared first were merely cannon fodder.

More people continued to display their skills, hoping to attract the attention of Liu Zonglin and the other big figures from the Sun and Moon Dual Palace, but these ’big figures’ merely watched quietly, smiling and chat casually, at ease.

Beside Li Fan, Meng Hong looked towards the direction of the main hall and said softly, "The Cultivators at this Demon Slaying Summit want to win their attention and become part of the inner circle, but how easy is that? Most Loose Cultivators don’t even catch the West Emperor Palace’s eye on regular days, let alone that of the Palace Master."

The West Emperor Palace itself is filled with geniuses and Great Cultivators of the Seven Realms, and his standards are incredibly high. Wanting to become his disciple, how could it be simple?

As for the Sun and Moon Dual Palace... these two palaces don’t even recruit outsiders, trying to catch the eye of the messengers from the Sun and Moon Dual Palace wouldn’t be much easier than being favored by Liu Zonglin.

"Aren’t you planning to go?" Luo Qingyan smiled as she looked at Li Fan; although the other Cultivators couldn’t achieve it, the person beside her certainly could.

If Li Fan went out to display his skills, Liu Zonglin, the Sun and Moon Dual Palace, and even West Flame Island might want to recruit him into their sects.

"I came to participate in the Demon Slaying Summit, but I will not join any forces." Li Fan glanced at Luo Qingyan.

"I know, just joking with my little brother." Luo Qingyan smiled in response, clearly aware that Li Fan himself was already from a major force.

Above the Martial Arts Arena, two Qi Cultivators of the Condensed Core Realm were currently dueling.

But in the direction where the disciples of West Emperor Palace were located, several gazes were directed towards Li Fan.

Li Fan seemed aware and also looked to the side, seeing several people watching him, including Song Siyu, her senior brother Liu Liangchen, and other fellow disciples.

"Since entering our West Emperor Palace, this child has been practicing behind closed doors and hasn’t appeared. Now during the Demon Slaying Summit, he’s sitting quietly there; what is he waiting for to show himself?" A Cultivator of the Condensed Core Realm said beside them.

"Senior brother means, will he go out and fight?" asked a person beside him.

"Otherwise, what’s he doing at our West Emperor Palace; surely not just to slay demons?" The middle-aged Cultivator said indifferently: "This child has outstanding talent and strong combat power; he’s just lacking an opportunity. This Demon Slaying Summit is probably the chance he’s eyeing. But whether he wants to join West Emperor Palace or has other schemes, such as..."

The Sun and Moon Dual Palace, or West Flame Island.

As a Sword Cultivator, the possibility of scheming for West Flame Island seems greater.

Song Siyu listened quietly, her brows furrowed. Li Fan killed her father, her brother, her kin; this hatred is hard to resolve. If Li Fan performed excellently and joined West Emperor Palace, or even caught the attention of the Palace Master... then wanting revenge would be impossible.

"Senior brother, can we stop him from joining West Emperor Palace or West Flame Island..." Song Siyu’s beautiful eyes looked towards those around her.

"Rest assured, Junior Sister Song, though this child has high talent, his realm is ultimately lacking a bit of polish. If he truly dares to step out and show off, there is indeed a possibility of being noticed. At that time, we might have to sacrifice some face and drive him away." A somewhat older middle-aged man said.

He was at the late-stage of Condensation, and if Li Fan dared to step out and show off, he wouldn’t mind bullying him as a senior, and disregarding his dignity would also help vent his junior sister’s anger.

"Thank you, senior brother." Song Siyu expressed gratitude.

"This child breaks the rules, not only killing Junior Sister’s family members but also killing Elder Nan’s son. Even if we don’t act, Elder Nan won’t let him off easily; West Emperor Palace cannot accommodate him."

"Seems they are talking about you." Luo Qingyan whispered beside Li Fan.

"No need to bother." Li Fan replied indifferently, not caring about what the Cultivators at West Emperor Palace thought.

In his eyes, he still couldn’t see them.

It can only be said that those cultivators of the West Emperor Palace think too highly of themselves and too highly of the West Emperor Palace.

His participation in the Demon Slaying Summit was indeed purely for the experience of slaying demons.

Additionally, there’s the Moon Palace, and that’s because of Lu Yuan’s background.

"Hmm?"

At this time, Luo Qingyan exclaimed: "Song Siyu, she’s actually gone out, interesting."

Currently, in the Martial Arts Arena, a young cultivator of the Condensed Core Realm saw Song Siyu and slightly cupped his hands, saying, "Miss Song wishes to spar with me?"

"I observed your extraordinary combat power, thus I stepped forward to spar. If you can defeat me, perhaps one of our West Emperor Palace elders might take notice." Song Siyu said courteously.

The cultivator’s eyes brightened a bit, and the cultivators at the Demon Slaying Summit all showed a peculiar expression.

Actually, this is what they want to do, how does one demonstrate exceptionalism? Of course, by defeating the cultivators of the West Emperor Palace, or even, defeating the Heavenly Pride of the West Emperor Palace.

Song Family’s Song Siyu is also somewhat well-known on West Emperor Island, a Heavenly Pride Girl of the Song Family and a direct disciple of an elder of the West Emperor Palace.

"Please instruct me." The young Condensed Core Realm cultivator smiled and cupped his hands.

"Please instruct me." Song Siyu responded, and Sword Intent began to flow from her body, instantly engaging the duel.

This young cultivator specialized in Wood Element abilities, while Song Siyu, apart from being a Sword Cultivator, also cultivated Fire Attribute abilities, restraining her opponent.

During their battle, the sword seemed like flowing fire, engulfing the sky above the battlefield, causing many cultivators at the Demon Slaying Summit to show a serious expression, indeed, the people of West Emperor Palace are powerful.

Thus, being noticed by Liu Zonglin is even more difficult than climbing to the heavens.

This battle did not have many surprises; Song Siyu defeated her opponent shortly, cupping her hands and saying, "Thanks for letting me win."

"Thank you, Miss Song, for showing mercy." The cultivator retreated into the crowd, yet Song Siyu did not leave but looked around the crowd, then gazed in a particular direction, which was precisely where Li Fan and his companions were.

"The last battle ended without a victor; today, since I came to the West Emperor Palace to participate in the Demon Slaying Summit, let’s have another duel, how about it?" Song Siyu’s gaze fell on Luo Qingyan beside Li Fan.

She naturally knew she was no match for Li Fan and didn’t dare provoke him directly, even though she hated Li Fan, her power was inferior.

However, Luo Qingyan had blocked her with a Magical Treasure last time, and she remembered that grudge.

Before Li Fan steps forward, she wanted to teach Luo Qingyan a lesson, not thinking that just by staying beside Li Fan, one can disregard all.

"I concede." Luo Qingyan laughed casually, looking at Song Siyu indifferently.

"You..." Song Siyu was momentarily stunned by Luo Qingyan’s smile.

"I came to the Demon Slaying Summit to slay demons, I’m not interested in showing off, and I can’t beat you, the Heavenly Pride Girl of the West Emperor Palace. After all, I’m just a Loose Cultivator." Luo Qingyan crossed her arms in front.

She didn’t care about appearances; this Song Siyu wants to provoke Li Fan by suppressing her?

Thinking too much...

"Since you’re not interested, are the people beside you interested?" In the direction of the West Emperor Palace, Liu Liangchen, who was with Song Siyu, gazed at Li Fan and spoke: "Your talent is exceptional, causing a stir on West Emperor Island, once Foundation Establishment swept the Four Realm Demons unbeaten, and now entering Condensation, the stage is set, what are you waiting for?"

Isn’t this the chance Li Fan desires?

For an instant, countless gazes turned to Li Fan, many recalling that Foundation Establishment Cultivator who appeared on the battlefield.

This person has entered the Condensed Core Realm?

However, many who know about the Song Family matter understand that Yang Qingshan, a Condensed Core Realm cultivator, will definitely have a place in this Demon Slaying Summit.

Just as Liu Liangchen said, the stage is set, and it’s likely he will act any time.

Li Fan casually glanced in Liu Liangchen’s direction, it seemed these people thought he wanted to use this opportunity to make a display and join the West Emperor Palace or other forces.

However, he was not interested in this.

Thus, Li Fan straightforwardly ignored them, not bothered to respond, making the scene somewhat awkward.
