Chapter 880 - 870: The Vagabond’s Ambition

Ye Fan looked at the purgatory-like villages at the foot of the island, and then at the splendid Prison Emperor Hall above, feeling a wave of disgust.

What kind of Land of No Worries is this? This is the true land of sin,

Three days later, the Prison Emperor held a banquet to reward Ye Fan.

At that moment, the Prison Emperor said to Ye Fan, "Daoist Heavenly King, actually, I have a plan to trouble you with. Once this plan is complete, you and I will share the world equally!"

"Share the world equally?"

Ye Fan felt that the Prison Emperor was dreaming. Even at the Ancestor Realm Fifth Grade, he dared to claim to share the world equally. Ye Fan could only think that the Prison Emperor was too arrogant.

At this time, Ye Fan asked, "Your Highness Prison Emperor, just tell me anything, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"

The Prison Emperor laughed and said, "The strength of Daoist Heavenly King is obvious to all. At present, my plan lacks a person as heroic as Daoist Heavenly King!"

"I wonder how Daoist Heavenly King views the Demon Clan and the Sword Sect?"

The Prison Emperor asked Ye Fan.

Ye Fan said, "The Demon Clan is inhumane, they are the most brutal race. As for the Sword Sect, although their higher-ups conduct themselves well—"

"There are already many problems at the grassroots level. When the grassroots level has problems, it is only a matter of time before it collapses!"

The Prison Emperor laughed, "That’s right, Daoist Heavenly King has hit the nail on the head!"

"Actually, the people here were almost all driven to desperation by the Sword Sect. They are pitiful people indeed!"

"So, I have devised a plan to destroy both the Sword Sect and the Demon Clan!"

"What is this plan?"

Ye Fan asked.

To him, the Prison Emperor Hall was just a bunch of good-for-nothings, even being cannon fodder was too good for them; they had no such ability.

At this time, the Prison Emperor said, "Given the strength of the Sword Sect and the Demon Clan, our Prison Emperor Hall cannot possibly overthrow them!"

"Therefore, we need to leverage outside forces!"

"Outside forces?"

Ye Fan asked curiously.

"Actually, these outside forces are connected to the Demon Clan because, when the Sword Sect first rose, they suppressed a group of people!"

"This group was the strongest in this world; once released, they will undoubtedly attack the Sword Sect!

"When they and the Sword Sect are both severely weakened, the Demon Clan will step in to slay both, and then you and I will control the thirty-six sects of the Sword Dao."

The Prison Emperor’s ambition was great.

Then, Ye Fan said, "But how can you be sure that the Demon Clan will hand over the thirty-six sects of the Sword Dao to you?"

"Because this is my agreement with the Demon Clan!"

"I have agreed with the Demon Clan that I will help them annihilate the Sword Sect, but in return, I require the territories of the Sword Sect and to bow to them!"

The Prison Emperor said immediately.

But Ye Fan shook his head and said, "To bow is to recognize the Demon Clan as masters!"

"Though that may be so, Daoist Heavenly King should not just look at the surface. The Demon Clan is to deal with both the Sword Sect and that group; after they destroy the Sword Sect and that group, the Demon Clan will be greatly weakened!

"We will bow on the surface, but in reality, we can grow our own power, and one day we will be able to destroy the Demon Clan!"

"Although this path is very long, it is the most interesting path. We can enjoy this long journey!"

The Prison Emperor explained the plan fully to Ye Fan.

At this time, Ye Fan asked, "The plan is a good one, easily controllable, but I want to know, who exactly is this group?"

This was what Ye Fan was most concerned about, the crux of the plan.

The Prison Emperor said, "They are the Half-human Half-demon clan!"

"Intermixed between the Sword Sect and the Demon Path, they are rejected by both the Demon Clan and the Sword Sect because they are too strong, possessing both the Power of Demon and Sword Dao Power!"

"Even at their peak, neither the Sword Sect nor the Demon Clan dared to provoke them!"

"They are a force to be reckoned with in the world!"

"But because they fell victim to a Sword Sect plot, they were sealed by four Sword Gods. If they had not been sealed,

"In a head-on battle with the Sword Sect, even if the Sword Sect could wipe them out, they would have to pay a huge price! Being oppressed for so many years, they must hate the Sword Sect!"

Ye Fan did not expect such a group of people; it was indeed beyond his expectations. Half-human and half-demon, they have the characteristics of both the Demon Clan and the Human Clan.

They are definitely the most powerful beings.

Therefore, Ye Fan asked, "What we need to do is to release them?"

"Correct, after so many years, the Sword Sect has become lax in their watch over that place, so all we need to do is release them, and the plan will be a success."

The Prison Emperor said ambitiously.

Ye Fan asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to escort me there, clear a path through blood, and once I release this group, everything will be a success."

"Do you dare?"

The Prison Emperor asked Ye Fan.

Ye Fan said, "Why wouldn’t I dare? The Sword Sect betrayed me, so I must ensure the Sword Sect’s downfall!"

At this moment, he agreed to the Prison Emperor, but he knew that the beings sealed by the four Sword Gods must be threats to the world.

He absolutely could not go through with it.

But for now, he could only agree to the Prison Emperor and then come up with a plan to counter the Prison Emperor.

The Prison Emperor said, "With the help of Daoist Heavenly King, I will certainly be victorious!"

"When do we act?"

Ye Fan asked.

The Prison Emperor said, "Five days from now, time is tight, I can hardly wait to see it all unfold. Daoist Heavenly King, go and rest for now!"

"I will notify you in five days!"

The Prison Emperor said to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan nodded and then went down.

...

Back at his lodging, Ye Fan knew that the Prison Emperor would undoubtedly have someone watching him, as he did not trust him, but he found himself with nothing to do anyway.

In these days, he avoided contact with anyone, putting the Prison Emperor at ease.

Then one day, Huan Chen arrived.

Ye Fan asked, "Brother Hua Chen, are you part of the plan?"

"Plan? What plan?"

Huan Chen asked Ye Fan.

Ye Fan knew that Huan Chen was not involved in the Prison Emperor’s plan, it seemed the Prison Emperor still looked down on his weak strength.

At this time, Ye Fan said, "Do you hope for chaos in the world, where the Demon Path runs rampant?"

"I don’t know why Brother Heavenly King would ask such questions?"

Huan Chen found Ye Fan very out of the ordinary, asking such questions unprompted!

"Just answer truthfully!"

Ye Fan said.

Huan Chen sighed and then said, "How could I possibly bear the world descending into chaos, nor can I allow the Demon Path to run rampant, because we are the Human Clan!"

"If it weren’t for the rise of the Sword Tao Ancestor back then, the Human Clan might still be living in dire straits. How could I let the Demon Clan run rampant? But alas, my power is too insignificant. I can’t do anything!"

Huan Chen felt very disheartened.

Ye Fan patted him on the shoulder.

Ye Fan said, "How do you feel about the Prison Emperor Hall? Be honest now, it’s just the two of us, no need to hide your words!"

Huan Chen immediately said, "I don’t have a good impression of the Prison Emperor Hall. Although this place is a Land of No Worries, it is also a land of cruelty; every day I face endless sorrows!"

"I see, it seems your assessment of the Prison Emperor Hall is quite fair!"

"Why then, do you still work for the Prison Emperor Hall?"

This was what Ye Fan could not understand. With Huan Chen’s strength, even if he went to the Sword Sect, he had the potential to become an elder in the future.

Yet he remained in such a place of sin.

Huan Chen said, "Many things are not up to personal choice; I grew up in the Prison Emperor Hall, not knowing my own parents!"

"I was raised by an elder, but that elder was killed by the Sword Sect, so from that moment, I vowed to stay at the Prison Emperor Hall!"

"Because this is my home, and I will fight for my home for my entire life!"

After hearing this, Ye Fan said, "I see, I understand now, Brother Hua Chen, in five days I will go carry out a task! The Prison Emperor Hall’s plan!"

"If one day the Prison Emperor Hall no longer exists, I hope you will treat these displaced people kindly!"

"What plan?"

Huan Chen asked curiously.

But Ye Fan shook his head and said, "Some things are better left unknown, knowing too much only hastens demise!"

"I understand!"

Huan Chen said with a grave expression.
