Then, a Dark Cardinal turned his gaze towards the Illuminati, killing intent rippling in his eyes. "He's with you, ambushing our Sixth Dark Cardinal of the Dark Church."
The Dark Church's aura was menacing.
In the distance, powerhouses from the Skull Society also flickered into view, observing the Illuminati.
"Heh."
The members of the Illuminati remained unafraid.
Where were they?
This was the Sacred Mountain of the Angelic Sacred Assembly.
How could the Illuminati possibly fear them? Instead, they took a step forward, "What? Did you lose someone from your own side and want to blame the Illuminati? Or do you think the Illuminati are easy to bully?"
From the direction of the Sacred Mountain, powerful auras began to surge.
Backup had arrived.
On our Angelic Sacred Assembly's territory, you dare bully my subordinates? Are you looking for death?
The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became tense and volatile.
The smaller factions trembled.
Only Wenlan City and the Demonic Beast Legion watched with expressions of amusement, as if watching a show.
"Fight, fight."
The people from the Demonic Beast Legion fanned the flames from the side.
These guys were all desperadoes.
"Heh."
Chen Fan also watched the unfolding scene with a smile.
Unfortunately... the two sides ultimately did not engage in battle.
It would have been even more spectacular if they had fought.
Chen Fan sighed, but his senses were still keenly aware of the Old Demon's presence.
Thankfully, the Old Demon hadn't gone far.
This fellow was likely wary of Chen Fan deliberately luring him and was hovering nearby.
The Old Demon's concealment abilities were not weak, yet he intentionally did not block Chen Fan's detection.
"He has quite a few tricks up his sleeve."
Chen Fan smiled and did not continue to transmit his voice.
For now, it was best to hide outside for a while.
In the main area, the confrontation between the two sides did not last long.
What a shame, why didn't they fight?
Time continued to flow, and almost everyone was cultivating.
Who would be foolish enough to pass up such a good opportunity to "fleece the sheep"?
At this moment, someone approached from the direction of the Demonic Beast Legion.
Lan Kuang, seizing the opportune moment, opened his eyes and stepped forward to intercept the visitor from the Demonic Beast Legion.
There were three in total, two men and one woman.
The men were middle-aged, their divine-level auras unhidden. The two women also possessed strong auras, having already touched the edge of the divine level, just one step away, or perhaps needing a stroke of luck, to break through.
"What business do you have?"
Lan Kuang questioned.
He had the right to inquire.
Despite only being at the Nascent Soul stage, and having just advanced, he had the courage to stand before three divine-level powerhouses.
This was something he wouldn't have even dared to imagine before.
Because of the person behind him, he had gained confidence.
The three also appeared annoyed. The man cupped his fists and said, "I am Ge Lie, the Second Commander of the Demonic Beast Legion. I seek an audience with Mr. Chen Fan."
"One moment."
Lan Kuang turned to look at Chen Fan.
After receiving a nod, he stepped aside, "Please."
"Thank you."
Although it was only a few hundred meters, the conversation between powerhouses could be heard completely.
Lan Kuang's obstruction seemed somewhat redundant.
But let's not forget, powerhouses have their own prestige.
Chen Fan stood calmly, watching the three approach.
Before they even got close, Ge Lie cupped his fists, "Ge Lie, Second Commander of the Demonic Beast Legion, pays his respects to Mr. Chen."
"You are too kind."
Since the other party was polite, Chen Fan naturally displayed a suitable magnanimity, "Please."
As the words fell, Lan Kuang's guards immediately brought out tables and chairs from the carriage, setting them up in an instant to entertain guests.
"Please."
Chen Fan took the seat first, and Ge Lie followed suit.
The two women remained motionless, standing behind Ge Lie.
Lan Kuang also walked over, standing behind Chen Fan.
Ge Lie smiled slightly, picked up the brewed clear tea, and took a sip. "This Night God Tea, from the shores of the East Sea, is indeed excellent."
The East Sea, and beyond it, lies the Eastern territory.
This was not brought by Chen Fan, but rather gathered by Lan Kuang's men.
Chen Fan smiled faintly, "Lan Kuang is thoughtful. He knew I missed my homeland in the East and specially sent people to collect it, carrying the taste of home."
Ge Lie glanced at Lan Kuang, "You are very considerate."
"Why have you come to find me?" Chen Fan asked proactively.
"There's no other reason, we just wanted to meet the peerless powerhouse who has recently become famous in Damilia," Ge Lie replied with a smile.
In the recent period, the name Chen Fan had already spread to every corner of Damilia.
A peerless powerhouse from the East, facing six opponents alone, killing one Cardinal, while the remaining five fled in disarray.
The mysterious Eastern powerhouse's cultivation was unfathomable.
No one could ignore this fact.
"Mm."
Chen Fan nodded. "I saw it. How do you feel about it?"
"His reputation is well-deserved."
Chen Fan did not respond but changed the topic, "How many commanders are there in the Demonic Beast Legion?"
"Three."
"You, sir, are second in command and have already reached the Half-step Supremacy realm. I assume the First Commander has already entered the Supremacy realm."
"Mr. Chen, you jest."
Ge Lie shook his head with a bitter smile. "In Damilia, before the Saint Emperor enters the Supremacy realm, who dares to claim Supremacy?"
"Oh?"
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.
There was a hidden meaning in his words.
Although Chen Fan was keen to inquire further, Ge Lie did not elaborate.
He changed the topic again, "Mr. Chen, during this Cardinal selection大会, the six major powers have gathered. Only you and I are alone..."
"Six major powers?"
Chen Fan blinked in surprise.
The Angelic Sacred Assembly, the Dark Church, the Skull Society, the Illuminati, and the Demonic Beast Legion – that made only five factions.
"Mr. Chen has forgotten himself."
Nowadays, Wenlan City was also qualified to contend for a position among the six powers.
"..."
Chen Fan remained silent but instead asked, "So, Commander Ge Lie's intention is for our two sides to join forces?"
