Chapter 888: Chapter 888

A single Sword Domain was already overwhelming Liao Fan, and now, with the Complete celestial Eight Trigrams Land’s Kun Domain layering upon [him] and Nine Palace Mountain’s suppression, Liao Fan had no power to resist!

"Who are you? How do you know the Demon Clan?"

"You are not qualified to know who I am. Answer my question: What is your purpose for infiltrating the Nine Swords Sect in the Western Territory for the Demon Clan?"

Wang Yang couldn’t be bothered to answer Liao Fan’s question. Judging by Liao Fan’s cultivation level, his status in the Demon Clan must be quite high, at the very least, a very important chess piece for the Demon Clan.

However, judging from his question, Liao Fan seemed unaware of Wang Yang’s existence, indicating he might not be from the direct lineage of the Demon Clan.

He was likely a Demon Marshal under the Demon God!

"Heh heh, since you know of my clan, you should be aware that you will get nothing from my mouth. I advise you not to waste your efforts and grant me a swift death!"

Liao Fan sneered repeatedly. The subordinates of the Demon Clan exhibit unyielding loyalty to their Demon God, and betrayal is simply impossible.

"Very commendable. Since you refuse to speak, I also won’t bother to ask further. As for how much I can find out, that depends on how long your soul can endure!"

Wang Yang’s lips curled into a sinister smile as he formed a seal with his hands. A terrifying wave of soul energy rippled out, causing Liao Fan’s eyes to widen in shock and horror!

"This fluctuation is impossible!"

"You come from the primordial great world!"

Liao Fan asked fearfully. Wang Yang smiled faintly, neither acknowledging nor denying, his gaze toward Liao Fan filled with mockery!

"This is impossible! Our clan requires significant effort to break through the domain boundary barriers of such domain planes upon arrival. How did you, alone, manage to come here?"

"There are things you should not inquire about. I will give you one final chance: answer my question, and I will grant you a chance for reincarnation. You must know that once soul techniques are employed, your fate will be complete annihilation, with no chance of reincarnation ever!"

Wang Yang’s words continuously echoed in Liao Fan’s sea of consciousness, causing him to hesitate momentarily. He did not fear annihilation by Wang Yang, for the essence of his soul lay in the primordial world; even in death, the Demon God could revive him through reincarnation.

However, the soul technique Wang Yang was about to employ was the soul-destroying technique of the Underworld, capable of forcibly extracting the soul and probing memories.

The memories probed would gradually fade over time, but due to Liao Fan’s cultivation level, his soul was unusually powerful, naturally allowing for a longer duration.

In other words, Wang Yang could extract a lot of memory information. More importantly, once the soul-destroying technique is utilized, the outcome is guaranteed to be complete annihilation!

Even if Liao Fan’s divine soul was somehow preserved within the primordial demon realm!

"I am Liao Fan, the third Demon Marshal under the Great Demon God. I infiltrated this world hundreds of years ago, entered the Nine Swords Sect, and became the Sect Master.

My mission was to await the signal and move at the opportune moment!"

"Whose signal are you waiting for?"

"The Demon Clan Saintess!"

"Waiting for the Demon Clan Saintess to break through to sanctity, using blood sacrifice to assist her in devouring the celestial Dao origin force, approaching the unique True Realm, the Domain Ancestor Realm, and ultimately consuming all living beings of this world!"

Wang Yang spoke along with Liao Fan’s confession, feeling a bit surprised inside. It seems the Demon Clan’s plan had begun hundreds of years ago; by this rationale, other domain planes must have been invaded one after another.

"How do you know of our clan’s plan?"

"Because I have already seized the opportunity for the Demon Clan Saintess to enter sanctity. Alright, you can meet your end now!"

Wang Yang didn’t give Liao Fan another chance to speak. His five fingers pressed decisively into the void, and Nine Palace Mountain instantly crushed Liao Fan’s body into dust.

"Thank you, Young Master. Ye Qiu owes you another life!"

Ye Qiu stepped forward, now almost entirely recovered, and expressed his gratitude towards Wang Yang. Wang Yang dismissively waved his hand, casually grasping the Tyrant Sword and tossing it to Ye Qiu.

"This sword may not suit you very well, but the tyrant blade intent within it can serve as a reference for you. The last time I imparted the tyrant blade intent to you, it was quite profound, although you have an exceptional talent and aptitude for the Sword Dao, you lack the opportunity for tempering!

"Just follow me for now. I see you can’t return to the Nine Swords Sect!"

Ye Qiu accepted the Tyrant Sword, bowed deeply to Wang Yang, and nodded. He had no doubt about Wang Yang’s instructions.

Now that Wang Yang had uncovered the Demon Clan’s hidden chess pieces in this world, in the northwest two territories, the Demon Clan Saintess disguised as the Princess of the Royal Manor in the Northern Border, and Liao Fan, the Sect Master of the Nine Swords Sect in the Western Region, both held high positions.

It stands to reason, then, that the southeast two territories also harbor hidden chess pieces.

Most importantly, Wang Yang’s intuition informed him,

that in the capital Luoyang, the Demon Clan’s hidden chess pieces may be the most numerous. The Sword Saint, who traverses spacetime, must reside within Luoyang.

And the capital Luoyang being the gathering place of the world’s fate, the presence of Saint experts from the Imperial Royal Family should not be few, implying that Emperor Wang Mingyu must be aware.

But currently, Luoyang remains calm as still water, and shows a complete lack of interference in the affairs of the Four Territories.

This puzzled Wang Yang somewhat.

Although the Imperial Royal Family showed indifference towards the Cultivation Sect in the Western Territory, and had not even stationed any officials there, they should have at least dispatched spies to monitor the situation.

Yet, all the factions Wang Yang had traversed so far showed no sign of the Royal Family’s chess pieces.

"Could it be that one of the Seven Sects and Eight Factions has already pledged allegiance to the Royal Family?"

Wang Yang suddenly considered this possibility. If so, then the Royal Family would surely know about Zhang Xiaofan’s escape from the Underworld Hell.

This would indeed complicate the situation in the Western Territory.

But which forces would the Royal Family send to suppress the matter this time?

"What did Young Master say?"

"Nothing! Come with me to the True Martial Sect!"

Wang Yang smiled and shook his head, Ye Qiu nodded, and the two figures vanished in a flash. Just about an incense stick’s time after Wang Yang left, two figures slowly emerged from the void!

A young man and a woman, the young man’s eyebrows were clear and eyes bright, not older than Wang Yang, dressed in green, holding a folding fan, gently waving it with a scholarly air.

The woman wore servant garb, standing behind the young man at a distance, showing great respect towards him.

"Wan’er, ever since we came to the Western Territory, quite some time has passed, but the intelligence we painstakingly gathered over the years is not as much as this young lad obtained in mere months, to be precise, the information is of greatest value!"

The young man sighed, his voice tinged with helplessness. His identity was highly sensitive and could not be exposed, or he would have long shown up to protect Wang Yang.

But now it seemed, Wang Yang required no protection at all!

"Your Highness need not worry, the Demon Clan’s aura is concealed and undetectable. We are not like Young Master Wang Yang, from an outer realm plane!"

Wan’er, the young girl, spoke to comfort him.

Hearing this, the young man’s mood indeed lightened a bit, he nodded.

"You’re good with words. Convey the information here to the Emperor as soon as possible. Take some time to return to the capital Luoyang!"

"Will Your Highness not accompany me back?"

Wan’er asked with surprise upon hearing his arrangement, but the young man shook his head. He still could not leave the Western Territory.

Though his task was completed!

"The Demon Clan’s hidden chess pieces surely aren’t limited to Liao Fan alone, I am aware of this, Wang Yang certainly knows too. The fact that he eliminated Liao Fan directly indicates that besides keeping his promise, he already understands the Demon Clan’s presence in the Western Territory. He must have a way to eradicate them completely!"

The young man had great confidence in Wang Yang, for whether it was Wang Si Yun’s messages or materials regarding Wang Yang, all pointed to one thing.

Wang Yang acts with calculated precision, keeping everything under control!

If Wang Yang were unaware of the other Demon Clan chess pieces, he wouldn’t have eliminated Liao Fan so easily.

"Alright, I will set off immediately!"

The young man waved his hand, and Wan’er, understanding, vanished. The young man gazed in the direction of Wang Yang’s departure, his eyes heavy with contemplation.

"Is it the Summit of celestial Mountain?"
