Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1110 - Heartless Man

On this day, a figure stepped into the demonic door from the Tianwu Continent and disappeared.

Buzz.

Next, the figure emerged on the Myriad Demon Islands' side of the portal. It was Chen Fan.

He gazed at the churning sea and the scattered demonic islands that dotted the Endless Sea like stars. A faint smile appeared on Chen Fan’s face.

“Myriad Demon Islands... I’ve returned,” he murmured.

The air here still felt familiar.

After getting his bearings, Chen Fan shot off in the direction of Xuan Ting Demonic Island.

“I wonder how she is doing?” he mused, smiling at the thought.

Counting the days, it had been more than twenty years since he left the Myriad Demon Islands.

He had promised Xuan Shitong he would visit often. Although he had finally come today, he couldn't be sure Xuan Shitong wouldn’t be angry. After all, it had been far too long.

Swish, swish.

He flew quickly; before long, the Xuan Ting Demonic Island’s silhouette came into view.

It had grown even more prosperous.

Since the fall of the Huyan Demon Sect, their territory—including Huyan Demonic Island—had come under Xuan Ting’s control. The bitter rivalry between the two had ended, and now, the islands exchanged with each other frequently.

Therefore, the Xuan Ting Demon Sect had become even more powerful.

In the last decade or two, Demon King Xuan Ting had improved tremendously, having broken through to the seventh-level Manifestation realm.

When Chen Fan had first come to the Myriad Demon Islands, the Xuan Ting Demon Sect only had five Manifestation realm experts, including Demon King Xuan Ting. Now, that number had increased dramatically.

Aside from the four original Demon Lords under Demon King Xuan Ting’s command, Xuan Shitong had also advanced to the Manifestation realm and was currently a third-level Manifestation realm expert.

The former First Demon General Tu Shan had also advanced into the Manifestation realm. And two other demon generals had broken through as well.

The Xuan Ting Demon Sect now boasted nine Manifestation realm experts.

Today happened to be the day of the Demon General Ranking Battle.

The atmosphere was very lively at the majestic training grounds outside the demon king’s palace.

What was once a force of twenty-eight demon generals had now expanded to forty-nine.

The Xuan Ting Demon Sect now had nine Manifestation realm experts. Aside from Demon King Xuan Ting and Xuan Shitong, the three newly promoted Demon Lords were all now qualified to command their own demon generals.

Forty-nine demon generals. That was almost twice as many as before. A testament to the Xuan Ting Demon Sect’s explosive growth.

On the tall viewing platform at the center of the grounds, Xuan Shitong reclined lazily in her seat, watching the ongoing matches below with thinly veiled boredom.

Next to her was Yan Shuiyi, once the last-placed demon general and former steward of Chen Fan’s demon palace.

After Chen Fan had left, she began following Xuan Shitong; the two now shared a close bond.

Yan Shuiyi was still at the peak Heavenly Star realm, but she was a lot stronger compared to before. She had already begun condensing her Martial Soul and pushing toward the Manifestation realm.

To Xuan Shitong’s left and right were several demon lords, and among them was Tu Shan.

Tu Shan watched the fierce battle on the training grounds, his mind drifting elsewhere.

He still remembered that Demon General Ranking Battle, when Chen Fan was around. Qi Xue had abandoned Chen Fan, only for him to be taken in by Yan Shuiyi. Together, they overcame countless trials, and she even gave up her demon general position so Chen Fan could challenge and kill Dou Yan, becoming the third demon general.

The current Demon General Ranking Battle was impressive. Among the forty-nine demon generals, the top twenty had all reached the peak of the Heavenly Star realm, with the top five demon generals having combat strength nearing the half-step Manifestation realm. They were far stronger than their predecessors.

Of all the Demon General Ranking Battles he’d witnessed, none had left as deep a mark as the one with Chen Fan.

Tu Shan looked up and into the distance, mumbling in his heart, And now, how far have you gone? Have you already reached the Legendary realm?

He still recalled their conflict, sparked by Xuan Shitong. In the end, Chen Fan had defeated him and taken his place.

Later, Chen Fan had gone on to represent the Xuan Ting Demon Sect in the Demonic Child Selection Battle and obtained a spot as a demonic child candidate. He ascended the demonic mountain, entered the Sacred Palace Hall, and when disaster struck the Xuan Ting Demonic Island, he turned the situation around with his strength...

Those moments made one thing crystal clear to Tu Sha: he would never catch up to Chen Fan. Not in this lifetime.

Some people were born to be looked up to by others, and Chen Fan was such a person.

He didn’t know what level Chen Fan had reached now, but he knew that with Chen Fan’s talent, he would flourish wherever he went.

Tu Shan was not the only one thinking about Chen Fan. Xuan Shitong and Yan Shuiyi were the same.

That damned guy! It’s been more than twenty years, yet he never came to visit me. Hmph, heartless man! Xuan Shitong was grinding her teeth a little, but her eyes were filled with a deep sense of longing.

Yan Shuiyi was also reminiscing and let out a sigh in the end.

What woman wouldn’t fall for someone like Chen Fan?

But she knew such feelings would never be returned, and she had long accepted that truth.

Xuan Shitong swept a glance at the fierce battle taking place on the training grounds. The Demon General Ranking Battle had reached its peak.

Two demon generals with top-tier peak Heavenly Star realm strength were fighting fiercely. Such an intense scene left the onlookers very excited, their clamoring filling the sky.

However, Xuan Shitong didn’t feel the slightest hint of interest in it. She yawned, turned to Yan Shuiyi, and said, “Shuiyi, let’s return to my chamber palace. I’m feeling tired.”

“Alright.” Yan Shuiyi nodded.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from the wind.

“Who is it?”

“Who dares to barge into our Xuan Ting Demon Sect?”

Tu Shan and the other demon lords jumped up from their seats at once. Their fierce gazes shot into the distance, and powerful auras rose to the sky.

“Hmm?” Xuan Shitong, who was about to leave, also stopped and looked over. Then, she trembled.

In the next moment, she shot into the air like a streak of lightning.

When Tu Shan, Yan Shuiyi, and the others saw that, their faces changed, and they hurriedly shouted, “Your Highness!”

But even as they called out, her joyous voice echoed through the skies. “You heartless man, you’re finally willing to come back and see me!”

Before the stunned crowd, the noble princess—the goddess of countless dreams—threw herself into the approaching figure’s arms, disregarding her image. Then, without hesitation, she sank her teeth hard into his chest.

The newcomer also hugged Xuan Shitong with one arm without any trace of politeness. He hissed in pain, sucked in air from the corner of his mouth, and said, “You witch, were you born in the year of the dog or what!”

“Hmph, I was born in the year of the dog. I’ll bite you to death. Who told you not to come visit me for so long, you heartless man!”

The people of the Xuan Ting Demon Sect were dumbfounded, all petrified on the spot.

Meanwhile, Tu Shan, Yan Shuiyi, and the others also froze when they saw the newcomer.
