Dashing Student-Chapter 1279: Sowing Discord

In the Endless Sea, the existence of the Demon Clan is no secret; even the Demon Sect and the Righteous Alliance have collaborated with them before.

As a prodigy of the Demon Sect, Xiao Lie is privy to certain matters, knowing that the elders of the Demon Sect wish to utilize the power of the Demon Clan to completely suppress the Righteous Alliance.

So even if he doesn’t intend to make amends with the Demon Clan, Xiao Lie won’t antagonize them either. He originally just wanted to check if the person he was pursuing had mixed in with the Demon Clan.

No one expected that Chen Nan would jump out on his own.

"Lord Jiao Mie, I went through great pains to infiltrate the Righteous Alliance, only to be relentlessly pursued by this guy who keeps saying demons are an inferior race."

The Demon Clan holds their race in high regard, dividing themselves into higher and lower classes internally. Now hearing Chen Nan’s provocative words, they glared at Xiao Lie’s group with resentment.

Xiao Lie was dumbfounded. When did he ever say such a thing? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Moreover, who is this demon anyway? He clearly had never met him before.

At this moment, Ming Ye, beside him, suddenly leaned over and whispered, "My lord, he should be that Righteous Cultivator we’ve been hunting, but we don’t know why he’s mixed in with the Demon Clan."

Xiao Lie then suddenly realized, pointing at Chen Nan and roaring angrily, "Slander!"

Chen Nan snorted coldly, placing his hands on his hips and puffing his chest. "Just admit it, weren’t you pursuing me?"

"Yes, but clearly you..."

Before he could finish, Chen Nan interrupted, "Lord Jiao Mie, look, he has admitted it! Knowing I’m part of the Demon Clan yet relentlessly chasing me proves he holds no regard for us demons!"

"When did I know you were..."

"Stop making excuses. Do you think Lord Jiao Mie would trust you over me, a demon? Our Demon Clan is far more united than you humans." Chen Nan interrupted Xiao Lie again.

The crowd of demons had already been incited by Chen Nan’s few words, and Jiao Mie saw through Chen Nan’s intent, wanting to use his hand to solve the problem of Xiao Lie.

Upon rethinking, Jiao Mie thought, since they would need to dispose of Xiao Lie sooner or later, pinning the blame on the Righteous Alliance might be even more beneficial.

So he patted Chen Nan’s shoulder, then turned his gaze to Xiao Lie. "They say you’re a prodigy of the Demon Sect. I want to see what qualifies you as such."

Xiao Lie’s eyes turned red, experiencing for the first time what it meant to be speechless, his gaze wishing to tear Chen Nan apart.

"Damn beasts! Do you think your large numbers will scare me? Seeing you all gathered like this, you must be up to no good. No one would care if I wiped you out!"

The term ’beasts’ completely ignited the fury of the demons, who charged forward like a tide, while Jiao Mie and Xiao Lie flew higher into the sky, separating for an intense fight.

This scene left Chen Nan extremely satisfied: "Fight away. After all, it’s just a dog-eat-dog situation. More of them dead is only better."

Over a hundred demons surrounded the three Demon Cultivators, including Ming Ye, their eyes fierce. Even the nefarious Demon Cultivators trembled at this sight.

And the real culprit behind all this was that damn Righteous Alliance Cultivator!

The trio rapidly searched for Chen Nan’s figure among the Demon Clan, only to find him flying off into the distance, seemingly trying to escape.

"That little bastard dares to mock me; I’ll kill him for sure!"

Ming Ye watched Chen Nan’s retreating figure, gritting his teeth in hatred.

The other two Demon Cultivators made a resolute decision: "We’ll fight our way out, and the two of us will stay to hold off the demons, while you kill that guy! Otherwise, we’d die unsatisfied!"

"Alright!" Ming Ye readily agreed.

The three had been able to follow Xiao Lie because of their considerable strength, though Ming Ye’s cultivation was slightly lower, at just the Sixth Layer of the Golden Core Realm, but he excelled in areas other than combat.

They believed that dealing with a cultivator at the Fourth Layer of the Golden Core Realm wouldn’t be a problem.

As for the Space Law Chen Nan had once displayed, they merely thought of it as a special trick. Since Chen Nan hadn’t used it during their prolonged pursuit, they assumed he couldn’t anymore.

Confident in their abilities, they fought their way out, and Ming Ye darted straight toward Chen Nan while the remaining two Demon Cultivators blocked all the demons.

In the sky, Jiao Mie’s Jiao Long claw slapped, sending Xiao Lie flying hundreds of meters away.

"Jiao Mie, are you demons planning to declare war on our Demon Sect? Kill me, and you won’t escape either!"

Jiao Mie sneered disdainfully: "As long as we kill you all, who would know it was the doing of the Demon Clan? Besides, let me tell you, we’ve just wiped out a thousand of your Demon Sect cultivators."

"What?" Xiao Lie’s eyes widened in shock, and his expression immediately turned murderous. "Jiao Mie! I’m going to kill you!"

"Hmph, so boastful. How could you possibly be a match for the noble Jiao Long Clan?" Jiao Mie jeered, his form suddenly expanding. Dark clouds gathered rapidly above, and a fierce storm loomed!

...

As the mastermind behind all this, Chen Nan quietly slipped away without disturbing the Demon Clan. Even if they later realized they’d been tricked, there was nothing they could do to him.

"You little bastard, come meet your death!"

A sudden roar came from behind, and Chen Nan turned to see a hunched figure rapidly approaching. He recognized it as Ming Ye, who had been tracking him for Xiao Lie.

"Well, since you’ve come to me voluntarily, I’ll be more than happy to oblige."

Chen Nan snorted coldly, hovering in mid-air, fully confident facing the Sixth-Layer Golden Core Realm Ming Ye alone.

Seeing Chen Nan actually stop, Ming Ye grinned wickedly, his aged face appearing even more grotesque. "Today shall be the day you die!"

He then summoned a Bone Staff, topped with a fist-sized skull, its eyes glowing an eerie green. With a wave of the staff, dense black fog was released from the small skull head.

In just a blink, the black fog enveloped the surroundings.

Chen Nan slightly squinted, curious about Ming Ye’s methods, but knowing he couldn’t underestimate a demon cultivator, he instantly moved, charging toward Ming Ye.

Ming Ye chanted incantations, watching Chen Nan approach. He pulled a tooth from the necklace around his neck and threw it forward.

The tooth fell into the black fog, and immediately a giant wolf appeared, its body formed from the fog, looking fierce and malevolent. With a howl, it lunged at Chen Nan!

The fierce maw snapped down hard at Chen Nan, while sharp claws slashed toward his chest. The giant wolf seemed almost alive, its attack bringing rushing winds.

At this moment, Chen Nan maintained his "Heavenly Fox Form," a Dragon Elephant phantom appearing behind him. He twisted, dodging the wolf’s claws, and punched the wolf’s jaw.

The wolf’s jaw shattered under the punch, dispersing like smoke. But within moments, it reformed, and the wolf bit down hard on Chen Nan’s shoulder!
