The First Venerable of All Paths

"Who do you want to die?"

When the brutal and cruel voice rang in his ears, Zheng Chu felt a crimson light flash before his eyes.

The next moment, a colossal python, hundreds of feet long, suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.

Those scarlet eyes, as bright as lanterns, were fixed on Zheng Chu.

A violent and powerful aura swept out from the giant python, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

It was none other than the Demon Emperor, Crimson Scale!

"A demon...a demon emperor?!"

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Chi Lin, Zheng Chu was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, his face filled with terror.

"This...this is a misunderstanding."

Zheng Chu swallowed hard, feeling his legs go weak.

He never expected that Fang Xuan would have a demon emperor protecting him.

This is a martial arts expert equivalent to the Divine Realm.

Moreover, the aura of this demon emperor was far more terrifying than that of many powerful beings at the Divine Intent Realm he had ever encountered.

"Misunderstand?"

A mocking look appeared in the eyes of the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, and his muffled voice seemed to shatter Zheng Chu's eardrums.

Do you really think I'm blind?

When the Demon Emperor is enraged, blood flows for miles.

This roar nearly shattered Zheng Chu's liver and gallbladder.

"run!"

At that moment, Zheng Chu had only this thought in his mind.

Without hesitation, Zheng Chu turned and ran.

It's true that he's at the half-step divine realm.

However, compared to true experts at the Divine Realm, there is an insurmountable gap between them.

Are we not going to run, but stay and wait to die?

"Can you escape?"

The Demon Emperor Chi Lin chuckled and gently pressed his sharp claws down towards Zheng Chu.

The crimson demonic power was released from between his claws, pushing the air aside and enveloping Zheng Chu.

Zheng Chu felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free.

"Don't kill me."

Zheng Chu was scared.

His voice was filled with extreme fear, and his pleading contained a hint of threat.

"I am an elder of the Ming family. If you kill me, the Ming family will not let you off!"

However, the Demon Emperor Chi Lin completely ignored Zheng Chu's pleas and threats.

His claws fell heavily with a seemingly slow but actually swift motion, and no matter how Zheng Chu tried to use his Yuan Power to resist, it was all in vain.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Zheng Chu's entire body exploded.

Minced meat was scattered all over the floor.

His dantian and soul were also destroyed.

Nie Song watched this scene from afar, completely stunned.

Zheng Chu, who was at the half-step Divine Realm, died just like that?

This filled him with terror and despair.

He was terrified that the demon king would do the same to him.

Fortunately, the Demon Emperor Chi Lin acted as if he hadn't seen him at all. He twisted his body and transformed back into a bracelet, which landed steadily on Fang Xuan's wrist.

Upon seeing this, Nie Song let out a long sigh of relief, his face still showing lingering fear.

He glanced at Fang Xuan cautiously, then prepared to leave quietly.

"stop!"

Fang Xuan's voice suddenly rang out.

Did I let you leave?

Nie Song paused, looking at Fang Xuan with an embarrassed expression.

"Young man, is there anything else?"

Nie Song rubbed his hands together, a forced smile on his face.

"Young man, I was blind to your greatness just now, please don't take offense."

He adopted a very humble attitude.

no way.

Even without that demon emperor, it wouldn't seem like it would be difficult for the other party to kill him if they wanted to.

Seeing that Fang Xuan didn't speak, Nie Song tentatively asked, "Um... young brother, may I leave now?"

"You don't just want to leave like this, do you?"

Fang Xuan spoke calmly, his tone somewhat cold.

"this......"

Nie Song's face darkened, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "Young brother, just say what you want."

Answer three questions for me, and I'll let you go.

Hearing this, Nie Song was somewhat surprised.

But he quickly replied, "I will certainly tell you everything I know."

Do you know who the Ming family is?

Nie Song was taken aback, but still honestly replied, "The Ming family is the number one family in Mingyang County, with an extremely profound foundation."

"I've also heard that the Ming family has dealings with the Beast-Taming Hall."

Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow.

It turns out that the Ming family is also related to the Beast-Taming Hall.

This was somewhat unexpected for Fang Xuan.

"The second question."

Fang Xuan asked, "Where did you learn that spear technique you just used?"

"You mean the technique of holding a gun in one's mouth?"

A glint flashed in Nie Song's eyes as he said, "This martial art was given to me by a... friend. It's only a Yellow Rank technique, so I'm afraid it won't meet your standards, young brother."

"Give me."

Fang Xuan's tone was forceful.

"this......"

Although he was prepared, Nie Song still looked troubled.

"What, you don't want to?"

Fang Xuan raised his voice, seemingly carrying a hint of coldness.

"No, no!"

Nie Song quickly took out a scroll, his face full of reluctance.

"This spear technique is merely a pearl hidden in my hands; only in the hands of you, young brother, can its true power be unleashed."

After saying that, Nie Song threw the scroll directly at Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan raised his hand, but instead of directly catching it, he wrapped the scroll with his Yuan energy and floated it in front of him.

Seeing Fang Xuan being so cautious, Nie Song's heart tightened.

Fortunately, he hadn't tampered with the scroll; otherwise, if Fang Xuan had discovered it, he probably wouldn't have survived.

"One last question."

Fang Xuan looked at Nie Song and said calmly, "Who instructed you to deliberately lure people to Red Spring Lake?"

"What?"

Li Tianjiao looked puzzled and asked, "Brother Fang Xuan, what do you mean by this?"

Without answering Li Tianjiao's question, Fang Xuan simply stared intently at Nie Song.

Nie Song's pupils contracted when he heard Fang Xuan's words.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Fang Xuan was filled with shock and a hint of horror.

"What...what did you say? I don't quite understand."

Even the slow-witted Li Tianjiao could detect the panic in Nie Song's tone.

"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it."

Fang Xuan said nonchalantly, "Anyway, the matter has been resolved, and the truth is no longer important to me."

"Let's go."

Fang Xuan nodded to Li Tianjiao and turned to leave.

"etc."

Just then, Nie Song suddenly called out to Fang Xuan.

"I can tell you, but could you do me a small favor?"

Seeing that Fang Xuan didn't stop, Nie Song quickly said, "I won't let you help for nothing. I can tell you some clues about a secret realm."

"A secret realm?"

Fang Xuan finally stopped and turned to look at Nie Song.

"Do you know any clues about the secret realm?"

Fang Xuan was well aware of just how important the secret realm was.

The Fang family's rapid development in just a few months was due to their acquisition of the Mysterious Realm.

This also gave Fang Xuan the confidence to destroy the Su family.

"good."

Nie Song said, "But you must promise me first, otherwise I will never tell you the clues to the secret realm, even if it means my death."

"no problem."

Fang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then readily agreed.

"But if you dare to lie to me, you should know what I'm capable of."

Upon hearing this, Nie Song waved his hands repeatedly: "Young brother, you think too highly of me. Even if you had ten more lives, I wouldn't dare to deceive you."
