"Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"
Yue Chan was furious. She hadn't expected to be manipulated by Yun Fan. She had always been the one to scheme against others, but today, she had fallen into a trap.
With the last of his consciousness, Yun Fan propped himself up and said, "It doesn't matter. We can die together!"
With that, he fainted.
Yue Chan was enraged and wanted to get rid of Yun Fan immediately. However, at this moment, she could only escape with Yun Fan.
After Han Ba died, Yue Chan found an opportunity and fled from Duan Hun Cliff.
When Yun Fan woke up, it was already a day later.
"Can you remove the demonic power you left inside me now?" Yue Chan asked angrily.
Yun Fan replied, "That's no problem. However, you must escort me safely outside the Feng Shan Land first!"
"Don't push your luck!"
Yue Chan was angry. This guy was truly getting out of hand.
"It doesn't matter. If I die, you won't survive either," Yun Fan said indifferently.
"Let's go!"
Yue Chan had no choice but to compromise. She had missed the opportunity to kill Yun Fan this time. So, next time, she would tear him to pieces.
Yun Fan was not satisfied with her attitude. It seemed Yue Chan still didn't understand who was in charge.
Therefore, he immediately said, "My strength hasn't recovered yet, so I can't walk on my own. You decide how to arrange it!"
"Stop pretending. Do you think you're the only one whose strength hasn't recovered? I haven't either!" Yue Chan wished she could tear Yun Fan apart.
"Then there's nothing I can do. I'll just lie here!" Yun Fan lay down, playing the rogue.
Yue Chan angrily picked Yun Fan up and placed him on her shoulder. Reluctantly, she carried him outside the Feng Shan Land.
"Alright, put me down now!" Seeing that the time was almost right, Yun Fan no longer needed Yue Chan to escort him.
At this, Yue Chan reluctantly threw him to the ground. "You're playing with fire!"
"It's fine. I'm not afraid of getting burned!" Yun Fan said. "I'll break your demonic power restraint, and we'll settle our life and death next time we meet!"
"Do you think you'll survive next time?" Yue Chan scoffed. Although Yun Fan had become a formidable force now, she still didn't take him seriously.
At this moment, Yun Fan released her demonic power restraint. Instantly, Yue Chan had new thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan saw through her intentions at a glance. "I advise you to give up. Our situations are similar right now!"
"Hmph!" Yue Chan snorted coldly. "Get lost! Even if you don't come looking for revenge, I will come to find you!"
"You say that like I'm scared!" Yun Fan sneered and then disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, Yue Chan turned around angrily, as she still had to find Hun Chan for revenge.
Unexpectedly, Hun Chan was kneeling outside the meditation chamber of the Zen Master.
"Zen Master, your disciple is incompetent. I failed to protect my junior sister, and she perished with that brat!" Hun Chan said with a tragic tone. "I beg the Zen Master for punishment!"
A faint voice came from within. "Don't worry, she's not dead yet. Her soul lamp is still burning!"
"What?" Hun Chan's heart skipped a beat. Yue Chan was not dead. That meant that once Yue Chan returned, he would be the unlucky one. After all, he was the one who pushed Yue Chan and Yun Fan down Duan Hun Cliff together.
Of course, he didn't need to worry too much. Although Yue Chan was not dead, she might not be able to escape Duan Hun Cliff. However, at this point, he couldn't afford to gamble. If he gambled incorrectly, and Yue Chan returned, his death day would be near. He didn't believe the Zen Master would believe him over Yue Chan. Therefore, he quickly came up with a plan to save himself.
He quickly said, "Zen Master, I hope you can return my Dao Heart to me. With my Dao Heart, I can help you carry out the purification plan in the mortal world!"
Unexpectedly, the other party directly said, "Your cultivation is not yet sufficient. Your Dao Heart will remain with me for now. I will return it to you after you have swept through the mortal world!"
Upon hearing this, Hun Chan was shocked. How could he not know the Zen Master's intention, which was not to return his Dao Heart? This enraged him.
Therefore, he immediately said to the Zen Master, "Zen Master, if you don't return my Dao Heart, I'm afraid I will be powerless!" He was certain that the Zen Master had no one else to rely on. Although the Zen Master's lineage had many disciples, he was the only one at the half-step Emperor realm. The Zen Master also could not leave seclusion, so he was the only one to rely on. Although Yue Chan was stronger than him and the Zen Master's daughter, she still had to get out first. That's why he had the courage to issue a threat.
Unexpectedly, the Zen Master directly said, "Since you truly want your Dao Heart, then come in!"
Instantly, Hun Chan's heart rejoiced. His ploy had worked. As long as he got his Dao Heart, he could flee far away. No one would be able to control him then.
Upon entering the forbidden area of seclusion, he saw an altar with seven Dao Hearts on it. One of them was his. At this moment, the Zen Master still had not appeared. Instead, he said to him, "The Dao Heart is there. Go and get it yourself!"
"Thank you, Zen Master!" With that, Hun Chan walked over. Just as he was about to take his Dao Heart, a surge of power erupted, directly piercing his body. Hun Chan never imagined that his final fate would be like this.
"Do you think your Dao Heart is that easy to take?" The Zen Master said playfully. "You are merely seven chess pieces cultivated by this Zen Master. Your Dao Hearts have all grown sufficiently. Now is the season for harvesting!"
"What?" At this moment, Hun Chan, who was on the verge of death, was completely shocked. He hadn't expected all of this to be the Zen Master's scheme.
"What do you want our seven Dao Hearts for?" Hun Chan asked, clinging to his last breath.
The Zen Master sneered. "You don't need to know so much, because you are not qualified to know!" With that, he directly devoured Hun Chan's vitality. Hun Chan's body shriveled rapidly. Hun Chan, the leader of the seven sons of Feng Shan, did not die at Yun Fan's hands, but at the Zen Master's hands.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Yue Chan returned.
"Father, that scoundrel Hun Chan dared to scheme against me! Where is he? I'll skin him alive!" Yue Chan said angrily. If it weren't for Hun Chan's meddling, she would have already dealt with Yun Fan. It was Hun Chan's last-minute scheming that caused her plan to fail completely and almost cost her her life. Her hatred for Hun Chan had reached its peak. Now, all she wanted was to kill this traitor.
The Zen Master's voice sounded again. "He is already dead!"
"Dead?" Yue Chan showed a confused expression. Logically, even though her father had immense power, he shouldn't know the situation.
The Zen Master said, "He wanted to reclaim his Dao Heart. I refused, and he tried to threaten me, so I dealt with him!" Upon hearing this, Yue Chan finally understood.
"It's good that he's dead. It saves me the trouble!" Yue Chan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the Zen Master emerged. He was a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance, exuding an aura of dominance. He was the only man in this era, and after the ancient times, who had broken through to the Emperor realm without relying on the faith of all beings. Especially in this era of declining magic, even half-step Emperor realm experts were rare, yet he had crossed the curse and become an Emperor realm powerhouse. His legend, compared to Yun Fan, was not inferior, and even surpassed Yun Fan by a large margin. Even from ancient times to the present, his legend remained brilliant.
At this, he said to Yue Chan, "All seven Dao Hearts are gathered. Daughter, can you help me complete my great undertaking again?"
"What great undertaking does Father need to complete?" Yue Chan asked, confused. She only had reverence for her father, as he was the first man in five thousand years to create a miracle. Therefore, since childhood, she had obeyed her father's every command, even considering her father's great undertaking as her lifelong aspiration. She also hoped that one day, she could become an Emperor realm powerhouse like her father, without relying on the faith of all beings.
The Zen Master said, "With the seven Dao Hearts now gathered, my plan is only one step away!"
"You may not know my plan, so I will tell you!" The Zen Master said, "Although I have broken the first miracle in five thousand years and reached the Emperor realm, my Emperor realm cannot be maintained!"
"Why?" Yue Chan asked, confused. Did her father use the faith of all beings? It didn't seem so.
"Do you know why I asked you to exterminate the mortals in the secular world?"
"No!" Yue Chan answered truthfully. For thousands of years, their lineage had striven to destroy the secular world, but always ended in failure. It was only in this generation that they had absolute confidence, but they didn't expect a stumbling block like Yun Fan.
The Zen Master said, "Because the faith of all beings collided with my Emperor realm. Only by exterminating all beings and making their faith disappear can I avoid falling from the Emperor realm!" Upon hearing this, Yue Chan finally understood. She didn't question right or wrong, because in her eyes, everything her father did was right.
"As for the seven sons, they were also part of my plan. I intend to use their Dao Hearts to reshape my origin. Therefore, they are all chess pieces cultivated through secret techniques. Now that all the chess pieces are here, the day I reshape my origin is not far away!"
"Does Father mean for me to go and exterminate the secular world?" Yue Chan asked, as it seemed to her that the faith of all beings was the last barrier, and it should be her responsibility to resolve it.
However, the Zen Master said, "It doesn't matter. The ants in the secular world can be exterminated after I reshape my origin. But now, I need your Dao Heart!"
"What?" Yue Chan was startled. She hadn't expected her father to have this plan. He needed her Dao Heart. Once the Dao Heart was refined, she would not have long to live.
Therefore, she directly asked, "Father, aren't the seven sons' Dao Hearts enough?"
"No, their Dao Hearts only have auxiliary functions. The true core is your Dao Heart!" the Zen Master said bluntly.
Unexpectedly, this statement deeply struck Yue Chan, as it completely overturned her perception of her father. She hadn't expected that she, like the seven sons, was just a pawn in her father's game. At this moment, her inner faith completely vanished.
The Zen Master said, "You are the object of my focused cultivation. Your Dao Heart has been tempered and is now at its most mature. If you give your Dao Heart to me, I can stabilize my Emperor realm and avoid falling!"
"But Father, that means I will die too, won't I?" Yue Chan blurted out her inner thoughts.
The Zen Master said, "Yes! But I am undertaking the greatest endeavor in history. As my daughter, shouldn't you support me in completing my endeavor?" Upon hearing this, Yue Chan instinctively took a few steps back.
"Father, I deeply admire you and support your endeavor, but I don't want to die yet. Because one day, I want to become someone like you!" She spoke her true feelings. Her support was one thing, but staying alive was another.
Unexpectedly, the Zen Master said, "Once my plan is initiated, it will not stop. Don't struggle, and let's not make things unpleasant between us!"
"Father, I am your biological daughter. You cannot do this!" Yue Chan said warily. At this moment, she could only try to appeal to their emotions to make her father stop stripping her of her Dao Heart.
Unexpectedly, the Zen Master's face turned cold. "Unfortunately, you are not my daughter!"
"What do you mean?" Yue Chan asked, confused. Could there be some hidden secret?
"Have you ever heard of the Deputy Zen Master?" he asked Yue Chan. Yue Chan had indeed heard of him. In the past, the Feng Shan Land was controlled by two people: one was the Zen Master, and the other was the Deputy Zen Master. Unfortunately, the Deputy Zen Master betrayed the Feng Shan Land and was personally eliminated by the Zen Master. But what did this have to do with her?
At this, the Zen Master continued, "You are the Deputy Zen Master's daughter!"
"What?" Yue Chan was completely stunned. She hadn't expected to be the Deputy Zen Master's daughter. This truth was beyond her expectations.
"Then why didn't you kill me along with him back then? Why did you keep me?" Yue Chan asked, sobbing.
The Zen Master said disdainfully, "Because you are exceptionally talented, far surpassing your peers. Therefore, I kept you, merely to cultivate the strongest Dao Heart!" This truth completely shattered Yue Chan's faith.
"So you are the murderer of my father. Unfortunately, I only learned the truth now!" Yue Chan smiled sadly and then asked, "Why did you kill my father? Was it just because he contended with you for power?"
"You are mistaken!" The Zen Master said disdainfully. "He was not qualified to contend with me for power. Although he was my junior brother, the gap between us was huge. I originally thought he was my obedient junior brother, so I treated him like a dog. I never expected him to dare to disrupt my plan, so how could I spare him!"
"What do you mean?" Although her life was in danger at this moment, Yue Chan was still eager to know the truth.
The Zen Master said, "He was the second strongest expert in my lineage. He should have supported my plan to completely stabilize my Emperor realm. Perhaps later, when the opportunity arose, I could have helped him enter the Emperor realm. But he had a saintly heart and was unwilling to eliminate all beings, daring to oppose me. Was that not seeking death!" Upon hearing this, Yue Chan instantly understood. At this moment, her faith completely dissipated. "So I have been mistaking a thief for my father all these years. I even considered your achievements as my lifelong dream. How ironic everything was!"
At this, Yue Chan said, "Your plan will not succeed. Even if your plan has reached a critical stage, so what? Your father had Yun Fan back then, and now Yun Fan is here. He will eventually shatter your plan!"
"Hahahaha!" The Zen Master laughed wildly. "The rise of that brat is just an accident. He will soon die. How can a half-step Emperor realm demon contend with an Emperor realm powerhouse like me!"
"Just because he has a heart to save all living beings!" Yue Chan said directly.
"Ridiculous!" The Zen Master said to Yue Chan, "Do you want me to take action, or will you hand over your Dao Heart yourself!"
"I would rather self-detonate than fulfill your wish!" Su Dan Novel Network
With that, Yue Chan immediately prepared to self-detonate, as she knew her strength was far inferior to the Zen Master's. At this moment, there was no other way except self-detonation.
"You still want to self-detonate in front of me? You're overthinking it!" The Zen Master immediately took action.
Just as Yue Chan was about to resist, she realized that under the pressure of the Emperor realm, she couldn't move at all. She could only watch helplessly as her Dao Heart was taken by the Zen Master. Next, as long as the Zen Master refined her Dao Heart, she would not have much time left to live.
The Zen Master said, "Even if you know the whole truth, so what? Not only do you lack the strength to seek revenge, but you can't even save your own life. Now, let me send you to see your parents!" In an instant, the Zen Master decisively attacked Yue Chan, who was already in despair.
But at this moment, a roar entered the Zen Master's ears.
"Brat, didn't you promise to lift this King's seal? Why haven't you done it yet?" In the next moment, a force flew out from the bottom of Duan Hun Cliff and attacked the Zen Master. The Zen Master's expression instantly changed, and he took action, blocking the force.
"Demon King, why are you in such a hurry? Once I stabilize my Emperor realm, I will naturally break all your seals!" the Zen Master reprimanded.
However, the other party said, "You didn't say that back then. I told you the method to stabilize your Emperor realm, yet you still haven't let me out!"
"How can the seal of Emperor Yan be so easily broken? You need to give me time!" the Zen Master said. It was clear that he was also wary of the Demon King's strength. After all, this was a Demon King capable of destroying an era. Even with his Emperor realm strength, he might not be able to defeat the other party.
"I'll give you another month. If you haven't broken the seal after a month, you will bear the consequences!" With that, the other party's aura dissipated. The Zen Master was furious, but at this moment, he could only be angry by himself. Looking at Yue Chan's direction, he saw that Yue Chan had already escaped. He did not choose to pursue her, as he still had to condense his Dao Heart. As for Yue Chan escaping, he wasn't worried at all. After all, as long as he refined her Dao Heart, Yue Chan would not have much time left to live.
...
At this moment, Yue Chan, who had just escaped from Feng Shan Land, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face turned pale, looking as if she were half dead. She knew that her Dao Heart had been refined, which meant she didn't have much time left to live.
"Father, I'm sorry!" Yue Chan cried. She had been mistaken for her father's daughter for so many years. Now that it was time for revenge, she found that she didn't have much time left to live. At this moment, it was impossible for her not to despair.
"It seems I can only rely on him!" Yue Chan knew she wouldn't live long, perhaps only a month or two. But before she died, she had to make some preparations. Even if she died, she had to eliminate the Zen Master, this great devil. People said Yun Fan was a devil, but now she knew that compared to Yun Fan, the Zen Master was the real devil.
Then, she supported her weakened body and came to Jiangnan. Of course, at this time in Jiangnan, there was not only Yun Fan but also Qing Xuan. The reason only Qing Xuan was there was because Qing Xuan had decided to break through her emotional tribulation. As for Qing Ming, she naturally didn't have time to accompany Qing Xuan here. The Shen Nong World had cracks, and she was helping to repair it.
When she saw Yue Chan arrive, she couldn't believe her eyes. Don't forget, in the prison, she had been tormented by Yue Chan to the point of almost losing her life. At this moment, Yue Chan said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you. I want to see Yun Fan!"
"What do you want to see him for?" Qing Xuan said disdainfully. "Do you think you can see him just because you want to?"
"You're not qualified to talk to me. Let him come out and see me!" Yue Chan said directly. Clearly, she had lost her patience. At this moment, all she wanted was to see Yun Fan as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Qing Xuan said coldly, "Do you think I'm afraid of you!"
"Seeking death!" Just as Yue Chan was about to teach Qing Xuan a lesson, Yun Fan, who had arrived, directly attacked and struck her with a palm. Yue Chan immediately flew backward and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft!"
"So weak?" Yun Fan and Qing Xuan were confused. Logically, Yue Chan was on par with Yun Fan. She shouldn't have been so badly injured by a single palm strike from Yun Fan. They didn't know what she was plotting again. However, after carefully sensing Yue Chan's strength, Yun Fan's face showed a hint of confusion. Because he found that Yue Chan's condition was very bad at the moment, and she seemed to be on her last breath. This situation should not have occurred with Yue Chan. If Yue Chan was just acting, wouldn't the price be too high? Therefore, he decided to wait and see.
"What are you pretending for?" Qing Xuan asked impatiently. Yue Chan's behavior was very suspicious. She suspected that this woman was faking it, but she had no idea what her purpose was.
Yue Chan said, "I'm sorry for letting you see me in such a sorry state. I've come to seek cooperation!"
"Cooperation?" Yun Fan sneered. "Isn't it ridiculous to seek cooperation with your mortal enemy?" At this moment, not only did Qing Xuan find Yue Chan's behavior ridiculous, but even Yun Fan thought that this Yue Chan was up to her old tricks again. However, this was the secular world, his territory. Yue Chan coming alone like this, wasn't she showing him too little respect?
"I don't think it's ridiculous, because we have a common enemy, the Zen Master!"
