At this moment, the two arrived at the territory of the Carefree Demonic Lord.
Then they requested an audience with the Carefree Demonic Lord.
"Who are you?"
The Carefree Demonic Lord said, "You look somewhat familiar."
Originally, he was a powerful being at the level of a Demonic Lord, and typically, mere Great Saint cultivators were not qualified to see him.
However, Yun Fan claimed to be an old acquaintance, so at this time, he patiently met with Yun Fan and Chu Ling'er.
Especially on Chu Ling'er, he sensed an aura that did not belong to the demonic path.
Chu Ling'er then said, "Have you seen this person?"
Saying this, she produced Yun Fan's portrait.
The Carefree Demonic Lord was very angry. This woman, whom he found unsightly, dared to speak to him with such an attitude. Was she tired of living?
However, upon seeing the portrait, he said with confusion, "Isn't he..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yun Fan quickly said, "Let's talk in private!"
Then, without waiting for Chu Ling'er's agreement, he pulled the Carefree Demonic Lord into the inner hall.
"Presumptuous!"
As the Carefree Demonic Lord was about to fly into a rage, Yun Fan changed his appearance.
"It's you!"
The Carefree Demonic Lord looked at Yun Fan in shock. No wonder he felt so familiar! It turned out to be an old acquaintance.
"That's right, it's me!"
Yun Fan nodded.
Instantly, the Carefree Demonic Lord said with disdain, "I'm not saying this to be critical, brother, but your taste is a bit perverted! Why did you find another ugly woman again?"
In terms of ugliness, in his opinion, Chu Ling'er's ugliness was comparable to Feng Hua's.
Yun Fan's taste was indeed becoming more perverted.
Yun Fan then said, "Brother, let me explain! She is the Curse Immortal!"
"What?"
The Carefree Demonic Lord's killing intent surged. "Brother, this is not right. What do you mean by bringing the Curse Immortal here?"
It was well known that the enmity between the two races was great, and each desired the other's annihilation. Unexpectedly, Yun Fan had brought the Curse Immortal.
Yun Fan said, "I was forced to bring her here!"
"What do you mean?"
Facing the Carefree Demonic Lord's question, Yun Fan explained, "As you know, I'm from the mortal world. Now she wants to kill me, and in desperation, I brought her here, hoping you, brother, would help me, kill her!"
Hearing this, the Carefree Demonic Lord understood. No wonder Chu Ling'er was holding Yun Fan's portrait earlier.
"Brother, I can help you, but we each have our own interests. I don't get anything out of this, do I?"
The Carefree Demonic Lord looked at Yun Fan.
Yun Fan knew this guy would demand a sky-high price. Therefore, he immediately said, "As long as you help me and get rid of her, then this great beauty will be yours!"
"Uh..."
The Carefree Demonic Lord's face darkened. "Are you mocking me? I'm not like you; my taste isn't that heavy. Don't ruin my appetite with such an ugly woman!"
As soon as he said this, Yun Fan forgot that their aesthetic standards were different. Therefore, Yun Fan said, "Brother, look, I've actually helped you already! Didn't you want to arrange a marriage with Feng Hua earlier? Now that I've been taken by Feng Hua, you don't need to get married anymore!"
"But I can't get past the hurdle of the King of Rulers!"
The Carefree Demonic Lord said mournfully.
"No, no, no!"
Yun Fan said, "I'm also very familiar with Feng Ling. I'll help you overcome this hurdle!"
Hearing this, the Carefree Demonic Lord was instantly moved. "Brother, you're a good person!"
"Since you've shown so much sincerity, I'll help you deal with her as repayment for your kindness!"
In the Carefree Demonic Lord's view, Yun Fan had likely not just been taken by Feng Hua, but possibly by Feng Ling as well.
Indeed, in these chaotic times, for peerless handsome men like Yun Fan, if their strength was insufficient, they could only become playthings for ugly women like Feng Ling and Feng Hua.
He felt deep sympathy for this.
In fact, Yun Fan didn't need his sympathy at all, as Yun Fan was enjoying himself.
Therefore, Yun Fan said, "Brother, this woman's strength is not simple. She's on the same level as you, a Celestial Monarch!"
"That's interesting!"
The Carefree Demonic Lord said to Yun Fan, "Brother, act according to my cues later!"
"Hmm!"
Yun Fan nodded.
Then, the two of them went to the main hall.
"Where did you go just now?"
Chu Ling'er looked at Yun Fan coldly, her beautiful eyes narrowing.
Yun Fan said, "Don't be angry. I went to inquire about that young man. The Carefree Demonic Lord said he knows where he is?"
"What?"
Instantly, Feng Hua's expression became extremely excited. As long as she could slay Yun Fan and take his head back, she would have made a great contribution.
Of course, she hadn't realized yet that the Yun Fan in front of her was the person she was looking for, as Yun Fan hadn't reverted to his original appearance.
The Carefree Demonic Lord emerged.
"Two, the person you are looking for is indeed with me. After all, he is a peerless handsome man, and I intended to offer him to others. But since you are my friend, I will return him to you!"
"That would be best!"
Chu Ling'er asked directly, "Where is he?"
"He is in the back mountain. Follow me!"
The Carefree Demonic Lord said calmly.
Thus, the two of them followed him to the back mountain, the place where demonic energy was most concentrated. Chu Ling'er felt very uncomfortable here.
"Where is he?"
As they reached the end, Chu Ling'er asked.
Unexpectedly, at that very moment, Yun Fan struck her with a palm. This palm would not have posed any threat to her, but Yun Fan had used the power of the Heaven-Battling Technique.
Therefore, caught off guard, Chu Ling'er immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, this was not the end. In an instant, the Carefree Demonic Lord sent another blast of power from a distance, striking her.
Thus, Chu Ling'er suffered two severe blows.
At this moment, the Carefree Demonic Lord activated a formation, trapping Chu Ling'er within it.
"How does it taste?"
Yun Fan sneered.
"Why are you targeting me?"
Chu Ling'er looked at Yun Fan in fury.
Yun Fan, from beyond the formation, restored his appearance in front of her.
"It's you!"
Seeing the peerless handsome man before her, Chu Ling'er realized she had been tricked. The person she had been searching for was Yun Fan.
"Are you surprised?"
Yun Fan smiled playfully. "You wanted to kill me, but you didn't know I had been plotting against you long ago!"
"Hmph!"
Chu Ling'er sneered. "I should have killed you long ago!"
"It's too late now!"
Yun Fan said directly, "With my brother helping me, why should I be afraid of you?"
The Carefree Demonic Lord said mockingly, "The Curse Immortal dares to run rampant in my demonic territory. Today, you will not leave alive!"
"Just you two?"
The next moment, Chu Ling'er moved, directly unleashing her Xuanwu True Art, attempting to break the formation. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she suffered a backlash from the formation, severely injuring her.
"Puff!"
Chu Ling'er spat out another mouthful of blood.
It was important to note that this formation was not set up by the Carefree Demonic Lord but by his father, a Demonic Emperor of the King of Rulers level.
Therefore, even though Chu Ling'er was a Celestial Monarch, she could not break the formation.
Seeing her pathetic state, Yun Fan was extremely pleased.
"Don't waste your energy. If I were you, I'd just die. Why struggle uselessly!"
"Exactly!"
The Carefree Demonic Lord said disdainfully, "You can't break my father's formation!"
Chu Ling'er said in extreme rage, "Kid, when I get out of here, I'll kill you first, then him!"
"Hahahaha!"
Yun Fan and the Carefree Demonic Lord burst into laughter. In Chu Ling'er's current state, she still dared to speak of killing them. Let's see if she could even escape the formation first.
At this moment, the Carefree Demonic Lord asked Yun Fan, "Brother, do you want to keep this ugly woman, or kill her directly?"
Hearing this, Yun Fan said, "Kill her directly!"
"Very well!"
The Carefree Demonic Lord said, "When I gather demonic power, I will kill her!"
"Okay!"
Yun Fan nodded. He had expected Chu Ling'er to beg him desperately at this moment, but to his surprise, she didn't, nor did she show any sign of fear.
This made Yun Fan very confused. Did this woman not fear death?
At this moment, the Carefree Demonic Lord began to gather demonic power and integrate it into the formation, intending to instantly kill Chu Ling'er.
However, at the very next moment, Chu Ling'er vanished from her original spot.
"What's going on?"
The two were instantly stunned. They were sure she had disappeared. If it were Yun Fan, even if they couldn't see the person, they could still sense their aura.
But at this moment, they couldn't even sense her aura.
However, at the very next moment.
"Be careful!"
The Carefree Demonic Lord pushed Yun Fan aside and then single-handedly confronted Chu Ling'er, who had suddenly jumped out of space.
Boom!
After a burst of power, both of them staggered back a few steps. Although the Carefree Demonic Lord had the upper hand, their strengths were actually evenly matched.
After all, Chu Ling'er had already been injured earlier.
"How did you escape?"
The Carefree Demonic Lord looked at Chu Ling'er in confusion.
"Hmph!"
Chu Ling'er snorted coldly. "Although this is the formation of the King of Rulers, don't forget that my father is the renowned Space Master! Even in any desperate situation, as long as I want to escape, I have a chance to do so!"
"What?"
The two were instantly stunned. Without a doubt, this was something they had not anticipated.
The Carefree Demonic Lord said disdainfully, "Even if you escaped, what of it? Here, I have the final say! If I want you dead, you will die!"
Instantly, he charged forward and clashed head-on with Chu Ling'er.
Yun Fan gasped. Fortunately, he had the Carefree Demonic Lord. Otherwise, if he had tried to plot against Chu Ling'er with his own methods, he might not have even known how he died.
At this moment, the two engaged in a world-shattering battle within the demonic domain.
The Carefree Demonic Lord firmly held the advantage, as this was his home turf, and Chu Ling'er was already injured.
Therefore, at this moment, he was clearly crushing Chu Ling'er.
The battle between the two sides erupted, shocking everyone; it was truly too powerful.
"Damn it, I'm not his match here!"
Chu Ling'er had already realized the seriousness of the situation. If the battle continued, she was bound to lose. Although she also had a trump card, in her opinion, the Carefree Demonic Lord also had a trump card, and she did not have the advantage.
Therefore, at the next moment, she decisively unleashed her final trump card.
However, her trump card was not aimed at the Carefree Demonic Lord, but at Yun Fan.
At this moment, Yun Fan was dumbfounded.
"Seeking death!"
The Carefree Demonic Lord unleashed a trump card, blocking the killing blow, but Chu Ling'er, at this moment, used her spatial powers to forcefully and dominantly take Yun Fan away.
Seeing the two disappear from his territory, the Carefree Demonic Lord's expression instantly changed. "It's over!"
...
When Yun Fan and Chu Ling'er landed on the ground, he realized the situation was not good. He was about to prepare to flee at full speed, but unexpectedly, Chu Ling'er was looking at him with a cold smile.
For Yun Fan, this was definitely a smile of death!
"That... that... let's talk properly!"
Yun Fan said awkwardly.
At this moment, in his heart, he cursed the Carefree Demonic Lord's eighteen generations of ancestors. He had the advantage, yet he couldn't even protect him.
For Yun Fan, this was undoubtedly an unbearable blow.
"Were you quite smug when you were dealing with me earlier?"
Chu Ling'er sneered. "Now, let's see how I kill you!"
"No!"
Yun Fan's expression changed. Unexpectedly, Chu Ling'er had no intention of instantly killing him but was constantly torturing him.
This kind of torture was unbearable for Yun Fan.
"If you have the guts, kill me. What's the point of torturing me?"
"Oh?"
Chu Ling'er said disdainfully, "Then I'll fulfill your wish!"
But at the very next moment, Yun Fan said, "Wait a moment!"
"What? Are you afraid of death?"
Chu Ling'er said indignantly. This time, no matter what, she would not let Yun Fan go. The thought of being almost tricked by Yun Fan earlier made her want to tear him into pieces.
But now, she wanted to see how Yun Fan struggled in despair before she beheaded him.
This was her revenge on Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "You've misunderstood. I'm not afraid of death, but dying like this is worthless!"
"Then how do you plan to die?"
Chu Ling'er scoffed.
"I can remove the immortal curse for you!"
This was Yun Fan's bargaining chip. He didn't know if he could gain a foothold among the Curse Immortals, but for now, he knew this was his only chance to survive.
"The immortal curse makes me stronger. Why would I remove it?"
Chu Ling'er said disdainfully, "You're too naive!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected this move to be useless against Chu Ling'er. It seemed the Curse Immortal lineage hadn't realized the severity of the situation.
"You're wrong!"
Yun Fan said directly, "You think the immortal curse is a good thing, but in reality, you're just a puppet of the immortal curse. You've already reached the Celestial Monarch level, and I don't believe you have no drawbacks. Haven't you realized that the immortal curse isn't helping you, but controlling you!"
As soon as he said this, Chu Ling'er froze. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to know her situation so well; this was something she hadn't discovered herself.
Therefore, she asked Yun Fan, "How do you know so much?"
"I've been dealing with the immortal curse for so many years, how could I not know!"
Yun Fan said, "The immortal curse originated in the Immortal Realm, but it is definitely a disaster. Even if I don't say it, you probably know this, but you just don't want to admit it!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Silence!"
Chu Ling'er said, "The immortal curse is the origin of our cultivation. But are you sure you have a way to dispel the immortal curse?"
"I do have a way!"
Yun Fan said directly.
At this moment, Chu Ling'er said, "Then tell me the method, and I'll give you a quick death!"
Her meaning was clear: she needed the method, but whether she would use it was her business. After all, her father had told her that the immortal curse was the true path, and only by cultivating the immortal curse could one surpass the limits of the immortal way.
Yun Fan was speechless. As expected of a stingy woman, she wanted to kill him even if he gave her the method.
"That's impossible!"
Yun Fan said, "Unless you let me go, I will never give you the method!"
"Let me go?"
Chu Ling'er said disdainfully, "Then there's nothing to discuss. Let's see how I torture you to death!"
Saying this, she was about to act.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt the immortal curse within her body shifting. Due to her injuries,
As the immortal curse was healing her, she unexpectedly sensed that the immortal curse had taken away more than half of her immortal origin.
This sudden accident left Chu Ling'er stunned on the spot.
Yun Fan, standing beside her, didn't know what was happening, but he could feel Chu Ling'er's killing intent waning.
At this moment, Chu Ling'er carefully sensed her surroundings and had a bad premonition. Her immortal origin had been infected by the immortal curse by more than half.
If this continued, and her body was completely filled with the immortal curse, her consciousness would completely dissipate, and she would become a puppet of the immortal curse.
After all, immortal origin was the source of her consciousness. If even her immortal origin disappeared, what consciousness would remain?
Therefore, at this moment, even if she wanted to kill Yun Fan, she couldn't act.
"Are you sure you have a method to dispel the immortal curse?"
Chu Ling'er said coldly, "Words are not proof. I want to see it happen!"
"Isn't that simple!"
Yun Fan grabbed a strand of immortal curse and then used the Heaven-Battling Technique to directly shatter it.
"What do you think of this result?"
Facing Yun Fan's question, Chu Ling'er was stunned. The fact proved that Yun Fan did indeed possess the ability to dispel the immortal curse.
Therefore, she immediately said to Yun Fan, "I didn't expect you to truly have this ability. It's beyond my expectations!"
"So, do you think my value is enough to save my life now?"
Yun Fan said smugly. He didn't know why Chu Ling'er had suddenly changed her mind, but to him, it was a good thing.
As long as Chu Ling'er was willing to spare him, it wasn't impossible for him to help Chu Ling'er, as every puppet controlled by the immortal curse he rescued meant one more ally.
"Yes!"
Chu Ling'er said.
"How will you help me solve it?"
Facing her question, Yun Fan wanted to say that he could directly inject the Heaven-Battling Technique, but he always felt that Chu Ling'er was not a good person.
Women like Chu Ling'er, who were cunning and mischievous, would kill you the next moment after you saved her.
Never try to trust such a woman. If you truly believed her, you would be close to death.
This was Yun Fan's consideration.
Therefore, at this moment, he immediately said, "We cultivate together, and then I can help you solve it!"
Bang!
The next moment, Chu Ling'er struck him with a palm, sending him flying. Before Yun Fan could catch his breath, she stepped on him.
"Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Chu Ling'er said angrily.
She hadn't expected Yun Fan to say something so shameless. In fact, Yun Fan wasn't trying to take advantage of Chu Ling'er with this move.
He just wanted to make Chu Ling'er his woman. Only by doing so could Chu Ling'er possibly spare his life.
Of course, this was just a gamble. Whether it would pay off depended on luck, as in such situations, luck played a significant role.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "This is indeed the last resort for now. But if you don't believe me, then forget it!"
"You're seeking death!"
Chu Ling'er did not believe him at all and thought Yun Fan was playing her. Therefore, at this moment, she wanted to deal with Yun Fan.
Just at this critical juncture, suddenly, a power descended from the nine heavens, crushing down towards Chu Ling'er.
Chu Ling'er's expression changed.
"King of Rulers!"
Even she, a dignified Celestial Monarch, felt a sense of dread. Who else could it be but the King of Rulers? Instantly, this power descended upon her.
"Break!"
Chu Ling'er shouted, barely managing to shatter this power from afar.
But she was also on the verge of death. Helplessly, Chu Ling'er had to give up killing Yun Fan and flee for her life.
Although she couldn't escape, she had the trump card of the Space Master. She managed to escape, but this time she dared not abduct Yun Fan.
After all, in the face of a King of Rulers, she truly had no such courage. Escaping alive was good enough. To think of taking someone away from a King of Rulers was a joke!
Yun Fan instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he couldn't kill Chu Ling'er, being able to save his life was quite good for him.
After a long while, Feng Ling finally arrived. Because they were separated by billions of voids, even she couldn't reach Yun Fan's side in one go. She first attacked Chu Ling'er from a distance, injuring her, before embarking on the journey to save Yun Fan.
At this moment, Feng Ling tenderly helped Yun Fan up. "Little man, how are you?"
Yun Fan said weakly, "I'm not dead yet!"
Then he fainted.
...
Immortal Realm.
In the immortal land of the Space Master.
At this moment, Chu Ling'er was increasingly feeling that something was wrong. Because of Feng Ling's distant strike, she was almost killed.
After she escaped and recovered, she discovered that more than two-thirds of her immortal origin had been infected by the immortal curse.
Even she felt her consciousness blurring at times. If this continued, it would truly be as Yun Fan had said: she would become a puppet of the immortal curse.
Upon realizing the seriousness of the situation, she directly went to find her father, the Space Master.
"Ling'er, weren't you chasing that young man from the mortal world? Why do you have time to visit your father?"
The Space Master asked Chu Ling'er.
Chu Ling'er said, "Father, I've discovered a serious problem!"
"What problem?"
The Space Master asked doubtfully.
"Father, have you ever thought that the immortal curse isn't helping us grow, but rather wants to turn us into puppets!"
Chu Ling'er said directly.
"Silence!"
The Space Master said coldly, "Do not doubt the immortal curse. It is precisely because of the immortal curse that we have achieved our current powerful strength. You actually doubt the immortal curse. Looking back through the ages, those righteous immortals who once considered the immortal curse a disaster have long since disappeared into the river of time. And we Curse Immortals have survived to this day precisely because of the immortal curse. You must not slander the immortal curse, understand?"
Hearing this, Chu Ling'er was greatly disappointed. She hadn't expected her father to have always supported the immortal curse.
Therefore, she immediately said, "Father, I can clearly feel that I am being controlled by the immortal curse. If this continues, I will completely become a puppet!"
"Presumptuous!"
The Space Master reprimanded, "You are still doubting the immortal curse. Don't you know that your current state is something many people envy? It proves that you are growing stronger and maturing. One day, when you no longer doubt the immortal curse and completely accept it, you will understand that you have truly become stronger!"
"Go down!!"
Helplessly, Chu Ling'er had to go down.
Feeling her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, she knew she absolutely could not sit idly by, or she would truly be finished.
After losing all consciousness, what was the difference between her and a puppet?
At this moment, she deeply regretted it. If only she had agreed to Yun Fan's unreasonable request earlier, perhaps he really could have helped her.
"No, I cannot succumb to this!"
Chu Ling'er said firmly, "Before my consciousness completely blurs, I must find him and have him help me!"
Before, she didn't understand, but now she understood it thoroughly. Perhaps Yun Fan was the only one who was truly clear-headed.
The consciousness of others was likely already muddled, and she was also walking towards being muddled step by step. If she did nothing, one day, she would also completely lose consciousness and become a puppet.
She even felt that her father had already become a puppet.
Therefore, at this moment, she thought of Yun Fan.
