Chapter 621: North Sea Demon Clan

Because he was a four-star Soul Master, he could completely refine the Memory Silversand. As for the potent poison inside, others might fear it, but Jiang Fan did not. His poison core had not absorbed new potent toxins in a long time!

"Thank you," Jiang Fan said with a smile.

Ling Shu smiled charmingly and said, "You're too kind, Brother. Ling Shu is very happy that you're willing to accept it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Li frowned with a cold gaze. She was tired of Ling Shu's "green tea" act. She cupped her hands towards Han Feidao and said, "Teacher, my stomach isn't feeling well. I'll take my leave now."

Han Feidao nodded, "I was planning to leave too. Ling Shu, I'll accompany you to see the Demon Emperor. I'll ask him to make sure you receive more compensation regarding the Cold Dragon Marrow Elixir."

Smart, sensible, and capable of charming people, anyone would be willing to lend a hand. Ling Shu's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Elder Han."

The Demon Emperor highly valued Han Feidao. He was one of the few who could enter and exit the Demon Emperor's court at any time without the Emperor's permission. If he put in a good word, the Demon Emperor would certainly give him face and grant more rewards.

Seeing that they had all left, Hunyuan and Baxing naturally wouldn't stay either.

"Alright, let's disperse then," Hunyuan said. "Judging by the time, the North Sea Demon Clan should be arriving soon. Let's spar more to keep ourselves in peak condition, ready to face their challenges at any time!"

Baxing was brimming with fighting spirit. He immediately followed Hunyuan and left.

With everyone gone, Liu Li finally didn't have to maintain her composure. She leaned back in her chair, her previously straight back slumping. "Phew, so tired! Being pregnant, my body is clearly not as good as before. Sitting for a bit too long causes backaches."

Pfft—

Jiang Fan couldn't hold it in and chuckled aloud. Liu Li glared at him, initially intending to scold him. But thinking about how well Jiang Fan had performed today, saving her a lot of face, she changed her mind and gave a soft rebuke: "You men simply don't understand how hard it is for women."

Jiang Fan suppressed his laughter. "Yes, yes, then shall we head back?" He was eager to refine the Memory Silversand.

Liu Li nodded slightly.

At this moment, the demon warriors gathered outside the Huicui Tower not only didn't disperse, but instead grew in number as more friends were called upon. At a glance, the crowded demons were almost forming a beast tide.

"Will you dare to leave the Demon Emperor's court next time?" Liu Li asked with a mischievous smile.

Jiang Fan was speechless. With so many demons surrounding them, riding the Heaven-Devouring Tiger back was not very realistic. They could only fly with a sword.

"Hold on tight," he said, summoning his purple sword. Jiang Fan carried Liu Li, broke through the window, and flew through the air.

"It's him!""Don't let him escape!""Chase him!"

The vast crowd chased after the purple sword, running wildly. Jiang Fan chuckled. With a thought, the purple sword easily outdistanced them.

Just then, Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed, and he whispered, "Watch out!" Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an incredibly fast, dark afterimage heading towards him. One must know that Jiang Fan was currently flying on his sword. Without a doubt, the approaching figure was a flying creature, and a very fast one at that!

Whoosh—

The afterimage flashed by. Jiang Fan ducked to avoid it. But he suddenly felt the purple sword become lighter and ascend considerably. Oh no! He turned his head to look! Liu Li was gone! She had been snatched by the flying creature!

Jiang Fan's thoughts raced. The reason Jiang Fan was alive and moving freely among the demon race was for one sole reason: to cover up for the Demon Emperor's daughter! If anything were to happen to the Demon Emperor's daughter, Jiang Fan would lose his value. And his fate...

Jiang Fan immediately looked. At the end of his vision, he saw an afterimage carrying Liu Li speeding into the distance. In a breath, it became as small as a sesame seed. Even for a flying creature, this speed was terrifying!

"You can capture others, but I can't ignore it if you capture Liu Li!" Jiang Fan recalled Zi Xing's words. Before they arrived, people had been disappearing throughout the city. So they had gone to investigate the cause. For some reason, this matter was still unresolved! He couldn't believe this was happening in Demon Emperor City, right under the Demon Emperor's nose. Such a major incident, lasting for so long, yet the Demon Emperor remained indifferent. To the extent that they were audacious enough to capture the Demon Emperor's daughter!

"What you've taken is my very life!" Jiang Fan's thoughts stirred. He immediately activated the second layer of the "Six Heavenly Thunder Divisions: Cloud Shadow" technique!

A tearing sound—

A purple bolt of lightning swooped down, transforming into a majestic thunder dragon, carrying Jiang Fan to catch up in an instant. This single leap covered a distance of nearly two thousand zhang. Only then did Jiang Fan get a close look at the "flying creature." It wasn't a flying creature at all! It was a person! A woman moving at high speed, surrounded by a large bubble.

She appeared to be around thirty years old, with a pleasant appearance and a slender figure. However, her clothing was rather unusual, consisting of green seaweed hastily covering her vital parts. Liu Li was inside the bubble beneath her. At this moment, she looked utterly bewildered. She seemed to still be recovering from the shock of being captured.

The woman wore a mocking smile. "Another one captured. The Demon Emperor's Palace defenses are nothing but a facade. If our clansmen are studying here, can they expect any safety?"

Indeed. She was one of the four deputy envoys of the North Sea Demon Clan's visiting delegation. At this time, all four deputy envoys were carrying out an assigned test. They were operating separately, randomly capturing residents of Demon Emperor City. If the strong cultivators of Demon Emperor City failed to stop their actions by dawn, or if they captured more than a hundred residents, it would sufficiently prove that Demon Emperor City offered no protection for the North Sea Demon Clan's disciples. Then the upcoming visit would be a mere formality, quickly dealt with and concluded. The matter of both sides exchanging clansmen for further study would no longer be mentioned.

"The mainland demons possess brute strength but very few have innate bloodline talents," she muttered. "If anyone wants to stop me, Mu Ziyu, there's no one in the demon race besides the Demon Emperor..."

A tearing sound—

She was still muttering to herself when a bolt of purple thunder streaked across above her head. She looked up, slightly stunned. A person was standing on the lightning?

"Put her down and get lost!" Jiang Fan looked down at the woman and coldly commanded.

Mu Ziyu looked closely. She saw a handsome young man whose hands and feet were bound. He must also be a demon clan disciple, right? Her beautiful eyes blinked, and she said with a smile, "A thunder cultivation bloodline talent? Your speed is quite astonishing. You actually managed to catch up to big sister."

On the surface, she appeared calm and composed. In reality, a tempest raged within her heart. Her current escape speed was enough to rank among the top ten in the North Sea Demon Clan. But the young man before her had casually caught up? Who was this person? Which tribe was he from? She hadn't heard of any mainland demon tribes so skilled in thunder cultivation.

What made her pretty face change even more was this: As their eyes met, the young man unceremoniously struck out with a palm. A ten-foot-wide thunder palm print, imbued with explosive lightning arcs, fiercely imprinted itself upon her. Mu Ziyu secretly gasped. Even at the eighth layer of Core Formation, she felt a hint of danger before these lightning arcs. This... could this really be a bloodline talent displayed by a junior demon? She had intended to state her origin to avoid unnecessary conflict, but then her hunting instincts took over.

She opened her mouth and spat out a series of bubbles. The bubbles grew larger with the wind, each one bigger than the last. They layered themselves around the thunder palm print. No matter how powerful the thunder palm print was, the bubbles seemed to stick to it, impossible to break.

"Heh heh, demon thunder cultivation is nothing special after all," Mu Ziyu said with a playful expression. "If you don't put more effort into it, I'll take this delicate female companion back and reward her to my subordinates." She was very curious to see what thunder technique Jiang Fan would use next.

"Impudent!" However, Jiang Fan let out a cold shout. A soul spike shot out from between his eyebrows. It pierced directly into her soul.

"Ah!""Soul secret art?""Why aren't you playing by the rules?"
