Chapter 1729: Chapter 1725: Do You Know My Name? (Second Update)
As these words were spoken, the elderly man trembled all over, then looked at Kang Shuai Fu in bewilderment.
"You are...?"
Kang Shuai Fu sighed lightly and suddenly spoke a long sequence of obscure syllables.
After listening, the elderly man fell to his knees with a thud, and with a face full of excitement, continuously bowed his head.
"Master, I thought you had long perished at the hands of the Evil God, never imagined you were still alive! Where have you been all these years?"
Kang Shuai Fu shook his head with a bitter smile, "It’s a long story, let’s not discuss it now; please stand up!"
The old man only then stood up.
All the while, the two men standing behind him hadn’t moved an inch; rather, they coldly observed Kang Shuai Fu and Xue An.
"Who are they...?" Kang Shuai Fu inquired.
The elder quickly introduced, "Master, they are the rising talents of our Demon Race. This one is called Zhan Qianchen, and this one is Duan Wanfang!"
Within the new generation of demons, adopting Human Clan names has already become a custom.
So it wasn’t strange.
Yet, the pair inspected Kang Shuai Fu coldly, not even offering a semblance of a smile.
The atmosphere instantly grew tense.
Kang Shuai Fu’s expression gradually darkened.
The elder noticed the tension and promptly stepped forward to ease the situation.
"Master, you must be weary; please follow your disciple back to rest!"
With that, he attempted to lead Kang Shuai Fu away.
But at that moment, Zhan Qianchen stepped forward and blocked the path.
"Hold on!"
The elder hesitated, "Qianchen, you...?"
Zhan Qianchen coldly responded, "He may leave, but these two from the Human Clan cannot! Who knows if they’re spies sent by the Evil God?"
"Exactly! Plus, I’m very suspicious. Why has this elder suddenly appeared now, after hundreds of years of absence?" Duan Wanfang sneered.
"You all..." Kang Shuai Fu was so frustrated he might just cough up blood.
Originally, he was delighted, thinking that returning to the Demon Clan’s Territory would make everything better.
To his surprise, after merely a few centuries of absence, things had become like this!
Especially being repeatedly disrespected by the younger generation made it truly difficult for him to maintain dignity.
But Xue An, after hearing everything, laughed.
"A bunch of ignorant juniors trembling in a corner, dare to swagger before me?"
As these words fell, everyone was stunned!
"Bold!"
"Where did this brat come from, to dare behave so brazenly!"
Zhan Qianchen’s gaze instantly turned icy, "Good! Very well! Looks like our Demon Race hasn’t shown face for too long; even a mere Human Clan dares to act insolently before me!"
"Insolent?" Xue An chuckled, "I don’t think so!"
As soon as his words dropped, everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and Xue An vanished from the spot. When he appeared again, he was right in front of Zhan Qianchen, raising his hand for a resounding slap.
Slap!
With a crisp sound, Zhan Qianchen was slapped flying a hundred feet away.
While Xue An stood proudly in place, he said indifferently, "What do you think?"
The entire venue fell silent with tension.
Duan Wanfang’s pupils contracted to the size of needle points, and his aura suddenly became violent.
But before he could act, the infuriated Zhan Qianchen roared and charged at Xue An.
Yet just as he approached, Xue An’s hand, like a ghostly specter, struck again from an impossible angle.
Slap!
Zhan Qianchen was once again sent flying, this time even the other half of his face swollen.
"Have you yielded?" Xue An asked, somewhat uninterested.
Zhan Qianchen let out a fierce roar, directly revealing his true form, wildly charging at Xue An.
He had never suffered such humiliation, being slapped twice by a Human Clan whom he traditionally despised, so now he wanted nothing more than to tear Xue An into pieces.
Xue An’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam, as Zhan Qianchen charged closer, he abruptly lifted his foot, slammed it down.
Crack!
Amidst a series of dense cracking sounds, Zhan Qianchen howled in agony, as most of his body’s bones were shattered by Xue An’s foot.
Yet he was still not subdued, struggling to lift his head, but Xue An coldly said at this moment.
"Stay still. Move again, and I won’t mind crushing your head!"
The words were accompanied by a terrifying killing intent.
The perpetually unruly Zhan Qianchen shivered involuntarily, not daring to move again.
Because he had no doubt about Xue An’s resolve to kill him.
Thus, with just a single encounter, Xue An defeated Zhan Qianchen and then glanced around the venue with eyes as sharp as steel.
Where his gaze passed, everyone was horrified.
Even Duan Wanfang had to reluctantly retreat half a step.
Kang Shuai Fu was dumbstruck.
He never imagined things would turn out this way.
As soon as they met, this white-clothed youth oppressed his clansmen to the point they couldn’t lift their heads.
What on earth is he planning?
At this time, Xue An calmly asked, "Are you dissatisfied with what I just said?"
Duan Wanfang snorted coldly as a response.
Xue An laughed indifferently, "But I was entirely correct; you’re just a bunch of cowards hiding in this place, flaunting your strength! Not so fast to rebuke!"
"What did you do when facing the increasingly intrusive Evil God?"
Xue An’s questioning left these demons speechless.
Only after a long silence did Duan Wanfang forcefully say, "What has that got to do with you?"
"Well said! Indeed, it has nothing to do with me! In fact, if it weren’t for some matters needing clarification, I wouldn’t have bothered coming here!"
"Whether you live or die has even less to do with me!"
Kang Shuai Fu briefly opened his mouth but eventually closed it with a face filled with bitterness.
Once he believed Xue An intended to leverage demon power against the Abyssal Master.
But now he finally understood, Xue An had never had such a plan.
Because he simply didn’t regard the power of the Demon Race.
This realization angered him, yet left him unable to refute.
"Sir, please calm your anger; both are demons who have only developed over the last century and don’t know better; I beg you not to hold it against them!" The elder once more tried to mediate.
Xue An chuckled lightly, "Hold it against them?"
Then he shook his head, "You’re mistaken; if I wanted to get serious, he’d already be a corpse now!"
With that, Xue An’s foot lifted gently.
Zhan Qianchen dodged swiftly, only then rising with a face full of humiliation, looking at Xue An with eyes filled with fear and hatred.
Xue An couldn’t care less, saying indifferently, "Now I just want to know if those who sided with the Abyssal Evil God have any connection with you?"
If Xue An’s dominance left these demons trembling in fear, then this statement stirred an uproar.
"What does your asking mean?" The elder’s face also grew cold.
Xue An chuckled lightly, "It’s simple; I want to find them and through them locate the Abyssal Master!"
"The Abyssal Master? Why are you looking for the Abyssal Master?" Even Duan Wanfang couldn’t help but ask in alarm.
"Some debts, I need to settle with him! So, what’s the problem?" Xue An replied calmly.
The venue fell terrifyingly silent.
Every eye was filled with astonishment.
After a long while, Zhan Qianchen suddenly began to laugh coldly.
"What a joke, what entity is the Abyssal Master? Countless have sought to settle accounts with him, all failed! You alone think you can stand against him? It’s sheer folly!"
That was also the sentiment of nearly everyone present.
But Xue An coldly smiled and glanced indifferently at Zhan Qianchen.
Zhan Qianchen’s face turned pale, and he involuntarily retreated a few steps.
"I know many have failed, but I’m not like them!"
"What’s different about you?"
"Do you know who I am?" Xue An suddenly countered.
"Oh? Dare to ask your name then?" Zhan Qianchen sneered mockingly.
"My name is Xue An! But people usually call me Red Lotus Immortal Venerable; hopefully, you’ve heard of this name!"
