Chapter 1525 This matter is somewhat strange
The young man suppressed the surging anger in his chest, his teeth almost grinding to powder.

But he forced a fawning smile that looked worse than crying, and the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

"What you say is true, senior. I was so anxious that I lost my composure..."

He bowed deeply, his tone extremely obsequious.

"However, my family is a renowned clan in the 'Qianlun Realm.' As long as we can return to our stronghold in the Upper Realm, I will immediately dispatch a massive army of guards to escort us. At that time, spirit crystals will be piled up like mountains, and you can choose any magical treasure you desire. This is a hundred times better than suffering in this godforsaken Lower Realm..."

Su Fan paused slightly in his hand holding the wine glass, a flash of undisguised mockery crossing his eyes.

This playboy's lies are full of holes and utterly ridiculous.

You're really good at bragging.

If the family truly possessed the power he boasted about, how could the message jade talisman have vanished without a trace, without even the slightest reply?

But he didn't point it out; instead, a faint, indifferent smile curved his lips.

"Your family is located in the 'Qianlun Realm,' how many people can you mobilize this time...?"

"Hey, senior, you have no idea..."

The young man immediately perked up, his face still flushed with alcohol, and he patted his chest, boasting loudly.

“I am a cultivator from the Upper Realm. The Nascent Soul stage cultivators from those sects in the ‘Chensha Starfield’ are nothing but lackeys in front of my family. They are at my beck and call and at my beck and call.”

Our stronghold in the 'Chensha Starfield' of the Upper Realm is manned year-round by several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the Upper Realm. If I just ask, they all give my family some face..."

Su Fan secretly curled his lip, a cold smile creeping across his face.

Go ahead and brag, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?

"Ouch..."

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing, and violent roar erupted from outside the cave, like a thunderclap, causing rubble to fall from the cave ceiling.

The sound was only a few miles from the cave, and its malevolent aura seeped in through the cracks in the rocks, carrying a strong stench of blood and decay that sent chills down one's spine.

Su Fan's expression changed drastically, and his originally indifferent eyes instantly became sharp as a knife.

His fingertips moved so fast that afterimages appeared, and his spiritual power surged, instantly reinforcing the concealment array around the cave. Layers of spiritual light spread out like ripples on water.

He pressed himself against the cold rock wall, his eyes warily fixed on the cave entrance, his pupils slightly contracted as he caught every movement outside.

The boy was also startled by the sudden roar of the beast, which made him tremble all over.

As if doused with ice water, the effects of the alcohol instantly wore off, and his face turned ashen white. His lips trembled, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably.

"It's...it's the demon race that's caught up with us..."

Su Fan didn't respond, but instead lay down at the entrance of the cave and listened intently.

The roars of the monsters outside the cave grew closer and closer, each one more shrill and more ferocious than the last, accompanied by the rumble of shattering rocks and the snapping of breaking trees.

Clearly, they had accurately sensed the presence of the two and were rushing towards them.

"The monsters have discovered us. There's no time to waste; we must leave the cave immediately..."

Before Su Fan could finish speaking, he grabbed the other person by the back of the collar, as if he were holding a chick.

His body crackled with lightning, and blinding purple lightning coiled around him. He activated his lightning escape technique instantly, and the two of them transformed into a blurry bolt of lightning, disappearing from the cave without a trace in the blink of an eye.

When they reappeared, they were already hundreds of miles away in the wilderness.

Before they could even get a foothold, roars of beasts rose and fell from all directions, dust billowed, and the earth trembled violently.

Clearly, the two had alerted the nearby horde of demonic beasts, and countless monsters were rushing toward their location, their ferocity overwhelming and blotting out the sky.

"Senior... Senior... Senior, let's run away quickly... Hurry..."

The boy was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. His voice was trembling with fear, and his eyes were filled with extreme terror.

Seeing his utterly terrified state, Su Fan's lips curled into a strange smile, his eyes icy cold and devoid of any warmth.

The boy felt a sudden "buzz" in his head, as if a scalding hot aura had rushed into his mind, like magma pouring into his heart.

He suddenly became agitated, his eyes turned bloodshot, his breathing became heavy, and an uncontrollable surge of hot blood rushed to the back of his head, his reason being instantly swallowed up by his violent impulse.

"what……"

Suddenly, the creature let out a roar that sounded inhuman, as if all its senses had been drained, and involuntarily charged madly toward the direction from which the beast's roar came.

Alarm bells rang in his mind, and he tried to stop himself, but his body was completely out of his control. His legs seemed to have the wind, and he could only run wildly toward the abyss of death.

"Ouch..."

Just then, a giant rhinoceros demon, tens of feet tall, smashed through a small mountain and appeared like a moving mountain, blocking his way.

The giant rhinoceros was covered in black armor as hard as steel, with ferocious bone spikes on the armor plates. Its eyes were blood red, radiating a bloodthirsty ferocity. The single horn on its forehead, several meters long, gleamed with a cold light, like a divine weapon.

Before the creature could react, the giant rhinoceros demon charged forward with heavy steps and an aura of world destruction, its single horn piercing the creature's chest with precision like a sharp sword.

But just as the horn was about to pierce his body, a dazzling spiritual light suddenly shot out from his body, forming a tough protective shield that barely blocked the fatal blow.

Although his protective treasure was activated, blocking the thunderous blow for him.

The terrifying impact of the giant rhinoceros demon still displaced his internal organs, and his body was lifted into the sky by its single horn like a kite with a broken string, with blood dripping continuously from the gaps in the protective shield.

"Wow..."

Immediately afterwards, a sharp and mournful cry came from the sky, and a huge flying monster spread its wings that blotted out the sky and descended from the sky.

This monstrous beast resembles a roc, but it has three heads and six wings. Its sharp claws are like hooks, gleaming with a chilling, eerie light. Its entire body is covered with jet-black feathers, each feather like a sharp blade, exuding a suffocatingly ferocious aura.

It brandished a pair of ferocious claws, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as it ripped through the air, and lunged at the protective shield in the air.

"Click..."

With a crisp sound, the tough spiritual energy shield was torn apart like fragile glass, scattering spiritual light and disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the flying monster's claws tore the unsuspecting creature in mid-air into several pieces as easily as tearing paper.

Blood, bits of flesh, and entrails splattered everywhere, staining the wasteland below red.

His mangled body fell to the ground in several pieces, still scalding hot.

Before the corpse even hit the ground, the giant rhinoceros beast charged over with heavy steps, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed several pieces of the corpse whole. The chewing sound was clearly audible, sending chills down one's spine.

"Whoosh..."

A faint ray of light shot out from the shattered corpse; it was the nascent soul that he had desperately escaped.

The nascent soul still bore traces of extreme fear and resentment on its face, and wanted to flee into the distance.

Before he could fly even a few feet, the flying demon swooped down. It opened its sharp beak, snatched the nascent soul in its jaws, and then swallowed it whole, giving him no chance to struggle.

Seeing that the boy die and his soul dissipate, even his nascent soul couldn't escape, Su Fan stood in the shadows in the distance, smiled slightly, his eyes calm and undisturbed.

From the moment he saved that kid, he never intended for him to live.

Su Fan had seen countless people; he had met all sorts of people.

He saw through the boy's character at a glance.

Selfish, arrogant, and narrow-minded.

Once he's rescued, this guy won't be grateful at all. Instead, because Su Fan saw his pathetic state, he'll try every means to kill Su Fan in order to save face.

However, since the other party was a cultivator from the upper realm, Su Fan really didn't dare to kill him personally.

After all, this guy is a scion of a powerful family in the upper realm. Who knows what kind of tracking marks or backup plans his elders have set on him?

If you take action yourself, you might end up getting burned.

That's why he came up with the idea of ​​using someone else to do his dirty work. He subtly used his evil spirit energy to control the boy's mind, guiding him to rush towards the horde of monsters, so that two ferocious monsters could solve this problem for him.

"Aww...aoww..."

At this moment, more than ten tall demonic beasts had discovered Su Fan's whereabouts. They roared and howled as they pounced on him from all directions.

These monstrous beasts were all enormous and ferocious. Some were engulfed in raging demonic flames, some spewed poisonous miasma, and some brandished sharp bone spikes. Their ferocity was overwhelming, as if they wanted to devour the entire world.

Su Fan's eyes narrowed, and his spiritual energy once again reached its maximum.

Just before dozens of demonic beasts pounced, his figure vanished from the spot like a ghost, leaving only a faint afterimage.

Su Fan used the Thunder Escape Technique several times in succession. When his figure stopped again, he was already more than 100,000 miles away.

He found a hiding place in the nearby mountains and then stepped into the void.

Just as he expected, the moment the boy was torn to pieces, his family in the upper realm had already learned of his death.

In an extremely luxurious palace in the upper realm, the beams and pillars were all carved from millennia-old warm jade, the floor was covered with rare starry sky animal hides, and dozens of fist-sized luminous pearls hung from the ceiling, emitting a soft glow.

More than ten powerful cultivators, exuding a deep and imposing aura, gathered in the main hall.

Each of them exuded a suffocating aura, clearly indicating that they were all individuals with unfathomable cultivation.

The leading elder, dressed in a dark gold brocade robe, had an aged yet vigorous face and eyes like deep pools, containing boundless majesty. He was none other than the patriarch of the family to which that fellow belonged.

His gaze was fixed on a life tablet hanging in the center of the hall. The life tablet had been broken into several pieces and emitted a faint spiritual light, indicating that its owner had already died.

The old man's expression was extremely grave. He said in a deep voice, "When did Xiao Ba's life tablet break...?"

At this moment, a member of the clan stepped forward and bowed deeply to the patriarch.

"Reporting to the patriarch, just a moment ago, the life tablet suddenly shattered. I have confirmed that it is indeed Xiao Ba's life tablet..."

The old man's face grew increasingly gloomy, and a chilling aura emanated from him.

"Does he bear the blood mark of his family...?"

"Reporting to the patriarch, before Xiao Ba left, I personally planted a blood-red mark on him, which can track his whereabouts and record his last moments..."

"Then let's see who killed him..."

As the old man finished speaking, his aura surged, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze.

Upon hearing the patriarch's words, the clan member who had reported dared not delay and immediately got up and walked to a blood-red altar in the center of the main hall.

He quickly formed hand seals, channeling his spiritual power into the altar.

"boom……"

Suddenly, the altar erupted with a dazzling crimson light, and a crimson transparent light curtain rose into the air, hovering in the center of the hall.

The light and shadow on the screen flowed, completely recording the last moments of my little Baba's life.

The scenes of him being launched into the air by the giant rhinoceros demon, and finally being torn apart and devoured by the flying demon beast, with even his nascent soul not spared, were presented to everyone with crystal clarity.

Witnessing Xiao Ba being devoured alive by two ferocious demons, leaving not even a trace, the atmosphere in the hall became exceptionally heavy and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

Although Xiao Ba is the most disliked playboy in the family, and is arrogant and domineering, causing trouble every day, he is, after all, a legitimate member of the family and carries the family's blood.

A member of a family from the upper realm actually died in the mouth of a monster from the lower realm.

This is an utter disgrace for a family with a long and distinguished history; what has become of their reputation?

"How unreasonable..."

An elder with a fiery temper slammed his hand on the table, instantly turning the solid wood table into dust.

"What kind of useless people are those in the lower realm? They actually let Little Eight die at the hands of a demon beast..."

"Investigate... find out the truth... find out who sent Xiao Ba to that damned lower realm battlefield, it's utterly reckless..."

The other elder was also furious, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"There's something fishy about this..."

An elder with a sinister face frowned and said in a deep voice, "Even if those sects in the lower realms are incompetent, they know Xiao Ba's identity. How dare they send him to the front lines where demonic beasts roam..."

Seeing the elders of the clan discussing amongst themselves and burning with anger, the patriarch waved his hand, and the hall immediately fell silent, with everyone's eyes focused on him.

"There's no need to argue anymore..."

The patriarch's voice remained cold, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"Immediately contact the family members in the lower realm and order them to thoroughly investigate this matter. They must find out why Xiao Ba was there and why he was attacked by a demonic beast..."

The family's efficiency was indeed astonishing; in just a quarter of an hour, news from the lower realm was transmitted back via the communication jade talisman.

A member of the clan responsible for delivering messages strode into the main hall, bowed, and said, "Reporting to the patriarch, news has come from the lower realm that Xiao Ba's death was an accident..."

Upon hearing the report from the clan members, the patriarch's face immediately darkened to an extreme degree, and the chill emanating from him almost froze the entire hall.

"Accident……"

"It was indeed an accident..." a member of the clan quickly explained.

"According to news from the lower realm stronghold, when Xiao Ba's flying boat was passing through the 'Chensha Starfield', it was suddenly attacked by a large number of demonic beasts. The flying boat was surrounded and attacked by the demonic beasts and was eventually shot down."

Of the nearly ten thousand cultivators on the flying boat, almost all were killed or wounded. Only a handful managed to escape, and Xiao Ba was one of them. However, unexpectedly, he still couldn't escape the pursuit of the demonic beasts..."
