The Eastern Manor was noisy and lively.
"Hahaha."
Laughter came from behind the manor, it was Hong Si's laughter.
Followed by Ling Long's laughter.
It seemed Ling Long was getting along very well with the Qin family army.
Suddenly, Ling Long's body trembled, its bloodline seeming to boil.
"Who?"
Ling Long vanished instantly, reappearing at the front gate of the Eastern Manor.
Ling Long appeared, staring at the young girl beside the City Lord. Da Feng Novel Network.
Huo Mo was also staring at her.
"You..."
"You..."
Looking at each other, neither spoke.
"Ancient fierce beast?" Ling Long's voice held a hint of joy.
"Earth treasure transformed into spirit?"
Huo Mo's eyebrows shot up, ecstatic, and he hugged Chen Fan's arm: "That's great, Chen Fan, you actually found such good food for me."
Bang.
Chen Fan rapped Huo Mo hard on the forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is Ling Long, a comrade from now on."
"Oh..."
Huo Mo nodded, but his eyes still showed some reluctance.
Occasionally glancing at Ling Long, his eyes held a flicker of heat.
Ling Long, too, looked at Huo Mo, as if feeling a slight tremor.
Chen Fan was surprised and looked at Ling Long: "What, do ancient fierce beasts also attract you?"
"Mm."
Ling Long nodded vigorously: "He can help me solidify my physical body completely."
Alright.
So be it.
Stepping into the manor, the others dispersed, with only Huo Mo following Chen Fan into the room.
In such a situation, outsiders naturally wouldn't think much of it.
A fierce beast and a human, there would be no boundaries beyond their races, and no one would overthink it.
Bang.
Two stone tablets appeared directly before Huo Mo: "Do you recognize the characters on them?"
"Eh, ancient demon script?"
Huo Mo was startled, then nodded: "My bloodline inheritance has records of these characters, but I don't recognize them all."
It's good that you recognize them: "Quick, translate the characters on them for me, the general meaning will do."
"Okay."
Seeing Chen Fan's seriousness, Huo Mo also became serious.
He looked intently at one of the stone tablets. After a moment, he said, "This stone tablet records a great battle. It says that Tian Zai, one of the Eight Generals of the Ancient Demons, swallowed a human supreme being at sea. Most of it describes the battle."
"Useless."
Chen Fan was not interested in the other Eight Generals of the Ancient Demons. He pointed to another stone tablet: "What about this one?"
"It's also a record of a battle, and the master recorded is also Tian Zai, one of the Eight Generals of the Ancient Demons."
"Sigh."
Chen Fan sighed.
Then he took out a piece of paper. The ancient demon script on the paper was even more complex than that on the stone tablets.
Huo Mo looked for a while, then said, "This seems... to be a speculation about the ancient demons. The Eight Generals of the Ancient Demons seem to come from the distant East..."
Chen Fan shook his head.
He was not interested in the origins of the Eight Generals of the Ancient Demons.
He only wanted to know where the White Bone Forest was.
The beast army and the things from the Skull Society were useless. Now, he could only hope for the remaining three blood threads.
Chen Fan took out the bottle, his expression somewhat solemn: "This is the last clue, I hope it's useful."
Pfft.
The bottle cap flew off, and a blood thread automatically flew out.
As soon as the blood thread flew out, it melted automatically, and at the same time, a voice filled with immense rage echoed in the room.
"Wuji, Wuji, Wuji..."
Six characters, two pairs identical.
That voice, filled with boundless fury, then slowly dissipated.
As the blood threads disappeared completely, the voice also vanished.
Huo Mo's eyes widened in surprise: "Wuji, is that a person?"
Chen Fan thought of the person Ling Long had mentioned.
Bai Gu Sen Lin, one of the eight ancient demon generals, and the ancient demons came from the East. Could it be that the Eight Generals of the Ancient Demons were following that person?
Was that person Wuji?
"There's too little information."
Chen Fan sighed, and had no choice but to take out another blood thread.
He needed to know about the White Bone Forest. He hoped the last two threads wouldn't disappoint him.
"Hoo."
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the tension in his heart, Chen Fan opened the bottle again.
Buzz.
The second blood thread appeared and melted in the air.
As the blood thread melted, the ancient voice sounded again.
This time, the voice was somewhat chaotic, as if on a battlefield somewhere.
"I'm not convinced, you can't do this..." The voice slowly weakened.
This time, Chen Fan did not hesitate at all and used up the last blood thread.
The blood thread melted.
"Bang."
There was only this sound.
It seemed like something was being closed, or more like... a door.
"Doorway of Space."
Combining it with the previous words, Chen Fan was almost certain that the Eight Generals of the Ancient Demons might be imprisoned behind the Doorway of Void.
"I must go and see."
Chen Fan looked up, piercing through the roof, as if seeing the sky.
High above the firmament, a phantom portal was sealed by three seals.
"City Lord, is there anything else?" Huo Mo wanted to leave.
There was no good food here.
"Go."
Chen Fan nodded.
Huo Mo ran off happily.
Not long after, Lan Kuang arrived.
"City Lord."
Lan Kuang bowed.
Chen Fan handed Lan Kuang three pieces of paper: "Deliver these three pieces of paper separately to the Skull Society, the Dark Church, and the Beast Legion."
Information needed to be shared.
"Yes."
Taking the papers, Lan Kuang turned and left.
...
Time passed.
When Chen Fan opened his eyes again, it was already three days later.
He was awakened by a powerful aura.
"Come in."
The door opened automatically, and Ti Nu Ke, who had been missing for a long time, walked in.
Ti Nu Ke was also casual, walking into the room and laughing, "This trip really tired me out."
This guy had been gone for so long, he was chasing the remnants of the Angel Church.
"How was it?" Chen Fan asked.
"Caught up."
Ti Nu Ke drank some water: "Caught up to the previous Holy Emperor, and he still ran away."
"Mm?"
Chen Fa was surprised.
Ti Nu Ke was someone who wouldn't move without profit.
Since he decided to pursue them actively, he must have been confident that he wouldn't let them escape.
Now, the old Holy Emperor had escaped...
After drinking the water, Ti Nu Ke said, "Not only did the old Holy Emperor escape from me, but also three other factions, several Elders in Empty Robes and Cardinals, all escaped."
"Mm?"
This time, Chen Fan was truly surprised.
"What happened?"
One person escaping could be ignored, but everyone escaping, that was a problem.
"Sigh."
Ti Nu Ke sighed, mocking himself, "Back then, I founded the Bright Society, proclaiming it one of the five great powers. Who would have thought that there would be such powerful beings hidden in the shadows?"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Fan was surprised: "You mean, there's a stronger force hidden in the shadows? From what you're saying, it seems to be even stronger than those outside."
"Yes."
On this point, Ti Nu Ke nodded with great certainty: "Can you imagine, just among those I encountered, there were three Half-Step Supremes?"
"Three?"
"Mm."
"You didn't misread?"
"How could I possibly misread?"
Ti Nu Ke gave a wry smile: "I believe in my judgment, there's no mistake."
