Chapter 2248 - 2230: I Am Not Lin Feng
Neither the Sky Sword Ancestor nor Jue Tiannan expected that at this moment, Fang Yan was watching everything about the Divine Sword Sect from a hundred miles away. After seeing these matters, he felt relieved. The Divine Sword Sect truly had no intention of revealing his affairs, and moreover, the Divine Sword Sect was acting according to his arrangements. In this way, he had no need to worry about the Divine Sword Sect.
With a movement, he disappeared from his original spot...
Back at the Heavenly Demon Forest, Fang Yan used his divine sense to notify all the Great Demons above the Demon Immortal Realm within the forest. Before long, many Demon Beasts arrived at the Myriad Demon Lake in the Heavenly Demon Forest upon hearing his call. When they saw Fang Yan, they were all very puzzled, not knowing what Fang Yan suddenly gathering them was about.
A group of Demon Beasts who had all taken human form stood in front of Fang Yan, waiting for him to speak and clear the doubts in their hearts.
When most of the Demon Beasts had arrived, Fang Yan looked at them with a solemn expression and said, "The reason I’ve gathered everyone here is because there is something I want to discuss. The Eternal Joy Immortal Realm is about to go to war with Earth, and I want to ascertain what stance the Heavenly Demon Forest holds regarding this matter."
The Demon Beasts were all taken aback upon hearing this, not understanding what Fang Yan meant. Even if the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm was going to war, it seemed to have no direct relation to the Heavenly Demon Forest. What exactly did Fang Yan intend to convey by gathering them this time?
As the third-in-command in the Heavenly Demon Forest, the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle stepped forward, looking at Fang Yan with an equally serious expression, and asked, "Mr. Fang, what exactly do you mean? Could you tell us directly?"
At this time, all the Demon Beasts directed their gaze towards Fang Yan, wanting to know what Fang Yan was thinking.
Under their gaze, Fang Yan stated, "I want the Heavenly Demon Forest to join the war!"
Ah!
What is this?
Join the war?
...
The Demon Beasts in the Heavenly Demon Forest were instantly stunned upon hearing Fang Yan’s words. They couldn’t believe their ears. Fang Yan actually wanted the Heavenly Demon Forest to join the war between humans. How would that even be appropriate? A mistake might bring trouble to the entire Heavenly Demon Forest.
At this moment, the other Demon Beasts dared not speak. Eventually, the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and asking Fang Yan, "Mr. Fang, are you not joking about this matter?"
"Of course not, I am serious." Fang Yan looked at the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle and replied seriously. This matter was no joke; otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought it up to the Demon Beasts.
"This matter is a significant one, and I cannot make the decision. How about this, Mr. Fang, you come with me to meet with the king of our Heavenly Demon Forest. If he agrees, we have no objections." The Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle said to Fang Yan very seriously. This matter was beyond what he could decide; the true ruler, the true king of the Heavenly Demon Forest, must make the decision.
"No problem." Fang Yan answered directly upon hearing the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle’s words. In fact, he was already curious about the master of the Heavenly Demon Forest whom he had never met. He couldn’t understand why the other party was always avoiding him, and this time it was a good opportunity for a meeting to carry out his subsequent plans and arrangements.
The Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle nodded, and then looked at the other Demon Beasts, saying to them, "This matter is of great importance. You all understand the danger involved. Once you’re back, keep your subordinates in check. Do not let anyone leak anything about today, otherwise... no mercy will be shown."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Beasts all nodded in agreement, and then they immediately left, returning to their respective territories. However, they were very apprehensive, not knowing how the king would decide. If the Heavenly Demon Forest were to join the war, it might be a crisis for many of the Demon Beasts...
On the other side, the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle led Fang Yan into a valley, and they walked through a cave into the mountain. After walking for over ten miles, they took a turn into a deep pit underground and descended along the pit. Before long, they arrived at another incredibly vast cavern.
The cavern was massive, spanning several thousand feet in diameter. It looked like a whole new world, and somehow there was a mysterious light shining within that gave the space a touch of enigma.
Fang Yan arrived here with a puzzled expression, wondering why the king of the Heaven Demon Forest would be in such an environment. Just as he was pondering this, a faint glow appeared before him, which then transformed into an elder wearing a green robe in his sight.
"Old Turtle, why have you brought Fang Yan here to see me?" the elder began to speak, his tone curious but without a hint of displeasure. Though he had dwelt here for countless years, he knew everything about Fang Yan, and with a smile, he nodded towards Fang Yan, offering a simple greeting.
At this moment, Fang Yan returned the gesture with a deep bow to the elder, demonstrating his respect for such strength. His own power was not enough to perceive the elder’s realm, which in itself proved the elder’s strength was extraordinary and beyond imagination.
"King, there is something I need to discuss with you. I cannot make the decision alone, so I hope you and the second in command can discuss it together." The Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle immediately knelt before the elder, respectfully making the request.
"Alright, the rest I can discuss with Fang Yan; you may step outside." With a glance at the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle, the elder instructed plainly. Bringing Fang Yan here clearly meant the matter concerned Fang Yan, and it would be better for Fang Yan to express his intentions directly than relaying through the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle.
"Yes, my King!" Upon hearing the elder’s words, the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle promptly complied, turning to leave the area.
After the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle left, the elder looked at Fang Yan with a smile in his eyes and said, "I’ve heard of you long ago. Thank you for all you’ve done for the demon beasts of the Heaven Demon Forest! Allow me to introduce myself; I am the king of the Heaven Demon Forest, the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast."
On hearing this, Fang Yan took a step forward and gave another deep bow as he spoke to the elder: "Elder, I won’t introduce myself. I have come to the Heaven Demon Forest to discuss something with you. The battle between the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm and Earth is soon to begin, and I wish for the demon beasts of the Heaven Demon Forest to join the fight. I hope you can agree."
His words were brief, but the intention was clear, leaving the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast quite surprised. There was an inexplicable depth in his eyes as he looked at Fang Yan with a smile. Although surprised, it made sense. If it weren’t such a significant matter, the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle wouldn’t have brought Fang Yan here.
"I want to know why the Heaven Demon Forest should join the battle. It seems the Heaven Demon Forest has no reason to get involved in human wars, and what benefits would the Heaven Demon Forest gain by participating?" The Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast smiled as he asked Fang Yan.
Fang Yan looked at the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast and, after a brief contemplation, spoke directly: "To be honest, I am from Earth. My plan is that once the war begins, the demon beasts of the Heaven Demon Forest can harass the sects on the Eternal Joy side to alleviate pressure on Earth. As for the benefits of joining the war, please feel free to name them. As long as I can do it, I won’t say a word more."
"If it’s just harassment, that’s not a problem." The Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast nodded after hearing Fang Yan, agreeing straightforwardly. It was clear that Fang Yan was being honest. From Fang Yan’s perspective, wanting the Heaven Demon Forest to join the battle was reasonable. Given how much Fang Yan had aided the Heaven Demon Forest, such assistance was indeed something they could provide. With the Heaven Demon Forest’s strength, harassing other sects would not be an issue at all.
After speaking, the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast turned to Fang Yan, smiling as he pointed at him and said, "Actually, I suspected you weren’t truly of the Fang Family; your true identity must lie elsewhere. The bloodline of the Fang Family doesn’t possess such astounding talent. If you trust this old man, I would like to see your true form, if that’s possible?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yan was momentarily stunned, not expecting such a request from the king of the Heaven Demon Forest. However, there was no one else here, and his relationship with the Heaven Demon Forest was favorable, so he had no fear of this matter being exposed. With a simple activation of a Secret Technique, a completely different young man appeared before the elder and the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle, revealing Lin Feng’s doppelganger’s actual appearance.
Seeing Fang Yan transform into his current form, the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast laughed, pointing at Fang Yan and saying: "I never imagined, really, that the renowned Lin Feng, who has caused the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm so much trouble, would hide under an assumed name here in my Heaven Demon Forest, hahaha..."
The Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast laughed heartily, purely out of joy, which left Fang Yan momentarily speechless. He hadn’t expected the other to recognize his true form. The king of the Heaven Demon Forest wasn’t supposed to be a demon beast; how did he know about the affairs between the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm and Earth, and even Lin Feng’s true appearance? What was going on here?
Perhaps seeing Fang Yan’s confusion, the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast nodded and explained with a smile: "Are you wondering how I know about Lin Feng? It’s no secret. I once visited the Holy Soul Sect, and they have your portrait there. Several old fellows are researching how to deal with you, which is how I recognized you. But no one expected you would be here. Seeing how those old fellows at the Holy Soul Sect are stumped makes this old man quite pleased. Well done, well done, Lin Feng."
After hearing the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast’s words, Fang Yan finally understood the situation. It was clear that the king of the Heaven Demon Forest also had issues with humans, but he was more astonished at the power of the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast. The ability to wander through the Holy Soul Sect undetected was unimaginably impressive. Only now did he understand why the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast could be the king of the Heaven Demon Forest, reigning supreme!
Facing such a formidable entity, Fang Yan knew that to achieve his aims, honesty was the best policy. With a slight contemplation, he began to explain: "Actually, you’re mistaken. I am not Lin Feng."
