Chapter 273: Chapter 125: Blood Saber Sect Annihilated, Seven Stars Gang in Peril! Brow Heart Platform Awakens, Tree of Qi and Blood Completed

Chu Fan was in high spirits. He joked with Zhao Tianxing for a moment before heading back to his room.

In the main hall, the food Mrs. Zhang had prepared was already completely cold.

Chu Fan glanced at Xiaobai, then suddenly waved Zhao Tianxing over and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What?"

Zhao Tianxing’s face paled in shock. He glanced at the Cyan Snake Xiaobai and stammered, "Is... is that really going to work?"

"It’ll work."

Chu Fan gave Zhao Tianxing a push. "Go, tell Master Cao and the others."

Zhao Tianxing blinked, but ultimately chose to trust Chu Fan and ran off.

The Cyan Snake Xiaobai narrowed her eyes. "You want me to make a move? Aren’t you afraid that County Magistrate Zhang Yunpeng will use it as an excuse to deal with you and the Seven Stars Gang?"

Chu Fan was silent for a moment. He sat down at the dining table and beckoned to Xiaobai with his finger.

Xiaobai’s curiosity was piqued, and she moved closer.

She saw Chu Fan pull a token from his robes and flash it before her eyes.

"This is..."

Xiaobai froze, her eyes fixed on it.

Immediately after, her expression changed drastically. She stumbled back three steps and exclaimed in shock, "A Demon Suppression Guard?! You’re from the Demon Suppression Bureau?!"

The token in Chu Fan’s hand was jet-black, neither gold nor wood.

It was engraved with intricate cloud patterns, with a single, pale gold character for "Chu" in the center—it was his Demon Suppression Guard Token!

"Shh!"

Chu Fan immediately put the token away. "Do you want the whole world to know?"

Xiaobai fell silent.

She never would have imagined that this kid, Chu Fan, was actually a Demon Suppression Guard!

’But how is that possible?’

When she first met Chu Fan, the boy hadn’t even achieved Mortal Transformation.

She had never heard of the Demon Suppression Bureau having a Demon Suppression Guard who hadn’t even achieved Mortal Transformation!

’Still...’

’With his strength and talent, it’s not too much of a stretch for him to be a Demon Suppression Guard.’

"You’ve seen it now."

Chu Fan said, "When it comes to power, I have official backing too... Why would I be afraid of some petty seventh-grade official?"

"But..."

Xiaobai blinked, still unable to process it.

Chu Fan said, "What are you panicking for? The Demon Suppression Bureau doesn’t just capture every demon they see. Humans are born from human mothers, and demons from demon mothers. There are good humans and good demons... What do you have to worry about?"

"If Seven Stars Castle and the Moon Worship Sect really do attack, after you make your move, we’ll just pin a label on them—we’ll say they’re colluding with Demon Fiends!"

"It’s true that officials can talk out of both sides of their mouths... but I’m an official too!"

"If things really get messy, I’ll just say I captured you, a Snake Demon, and that you’re atoning for your crimes by rendering a meritorious service."

"That... would work?"

Xiaobai’s eyes widened. The insidious cunning of these humans was a real eye-opener for her.

"Of course it’ll work."

Chu Fan said, "There are two methods. First, we’ll try to pin the label on them. If that doesn’t stick, we’ll use the second one."

"It’s foolproof."

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks from the table and began to eat ravenously.

But he had only taken a few bites when...

BOOM!!!

A deafening roar, like the sky falling and the earth cracking, suddenly erupted from the north side of the Martial Arts Arena!

Immediately after, a cacophony of battle cries, the clash of weapons, and enraged shouts surged forth like boiling water!

Having achieved Mortal Transformation, Chu Fan’s senses were incredibly sharp.

He instantly sensed several powerful, hostile auras, like torches in the night, brutally invading the Seven Stars Gang’s territory, cloaked in a chilling killing intent!

’It’s people from Seven Stars Castle and the Moon Worship Sect! They’ve come to attack!’

A flash of killing intent sparked in Chu Fan’s eyes as he flicked his sleeve.

With a SLITHER, the Cyan Snake Xiaobai transformed into a Little Cyan Snake and shot into his sleeve.

Chu Fan darted back into his room.

When he emerged again, he was wearing the Evil Ghost Mask, with the Sunset Bow and the Thunder Blade on his back.

SWOOSH!

A residual image flashed as Chu Fan shot out of the courtyard like a phantom.

Pushing his speed to the limit, he dashed through several alleys and appeared at the mouth of the lane by the Deacon Hall entrance.

This spot was closest to where the fighting had broken out!

Chu Fan unslung the Sunset Bow and drew a Black Kite Arrow from his quiver with his right hand.

"This is a little troublesome..."

The Cyan Snake Xiaobai said from within his sleeve, "Those two men in black robes... their strength is greater than mine!"

Xiaobai was a Spirit Demon, with strength comparable to the Fifth Heaven of the Spirit Awakening Realm.

’Stronger than her...’

’Could they be in the Divine Power Realm?!’

Chu Fan’s grip on the Sunset Bow tightened!

His gaze swept over the two black-robed men in the Martial Arts Arena, then moved to the others.

Master Cao, Senior Brother Cao Yan, and Senior Sister Qingxue were each facing two opponents...

Those six people were all in the Spirit Awakening Realm!

And on the sidelines were two more black-robed men, even stronger than Xiaobai, watching like hungry tigers!

Although his side had more people, apart from Master Cao and the other two, the rest were mostly at the Entering the Realm of Strength and Bone Tempering Realm!

Chu Fan’s heart sank...

’Does the Moon Worship Sect really place this much importance on the Seven Stars Gang?’

’To kill Master Cao and the other two, they sent a lineup like this?’

’And there are even two Divine Power Realm experts among them?!’

’What method can I come up with to eliminate those two black-robed men first?’

Chu Fan’s mind raced.

Just then, the two sides on the field clashed!

Cao Feng and the other two were each fighting one against two. Though they hadn’t lost the upper hand, their situation was precarious!

"Senior Brother, you’ve gotten old..."

Lin Luoxue’s Fast Sword forced Cao Feng back three steps. She said coldly, "Do you know why I chose to learn this Fast Sword technique back then? Because it’s the perfect counter to your Cao Family’s Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber!"

Cao Feng’s expression was as dark as still water.

He had received several Treasure Plants from Chu Fan, and his old injuries had already healed.

But facing Lin Luoxue, he felt immense pressure!

In just two years, this woman, who had been far weaker than him back then, had used the Moon Worship Sect’s Blood Refining Array to cultivate Demon Techniques, raising her strength to such a terrifying level!

His Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber, though powerful, was completely suppressed by her Fast Sword!

"Why bother..."

Lin Luoxue continued, "You had already retired. You should have just stayed as the Chief Instructor. Why did you have to come and ruin our plans?"

Her words had barely faded when...

A figure suddenly charged in from the side, unleashing a rapid series of slashes at Lin Luoxue!

"Seven-Star Bead Slash!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Flustered, Lin Luoxue retreated again and again. Seeing the ice-cold expression on Li Qingxue’s face, her own darkened. "A mere grain of rice, trying to shine like a pearl?!"
