"Right!"
The blood-red spider climbed up the silken thread in the air!
But a sweet voice echoed in Chen Nan's mind: "So, for your life, you must help me secure the position of leader of the Heavenly Demon Cave!"
"Remember to be obedient, and be good!"
Chen Nan was agitated!
He really wanted to crush the other party to death!
But in the end, he held back!
As long as it could help Yan Guang subdue the Heavenly Demon Cave!
He could endure all of this!
As for the spider venom...
He had the power of merit, so it should be able to resolve it, right?
"Sir, where are we going now? Continue our training, or return to the Divine Tree?" Cai Feng's voice interrupted Chen Nan's thoughts!
Chen Nan looked towards the northeast: "First go to Luofeng Ridge, then head south from Luofeng Ridge back to the Divine Tree! Uh, can you go to that place?"
Luofeng Ridge was located fifty thousand li north of the Divine Tree. Legend had it that a celestial phoenix perished there long, long ago, its blood staining the entire mountain range!
Hence, later generations named it Luofeng Ridge!
"I've always wanted to go there!" Cai Feng's eyes were complex. She was a descendant of a celestial phoenix and had always wanted to see the place where her ancestor fell, but it was too dangerous, and her parents had always forbidden her from going.
"Then let's head to Luofeng Ridge!" Chen Nan smiled slightly!
He had gained a lot from training with these young ones!
From the early stage of Mahayana, he had already reached the sixth level of Mahayana!
He believed!
Before returning to the Divine Tree, his strength would definitely reach the peak of Mahayana!
His true qi might even transform into immortal energy!
Becoming a cultivator in the Earth Immortal realm!
At that time, he could open the immortal mansion!
This would allow him to find a sliver of security in this vast, boundless, and myriad-clan-filled cultivation world!
Of course!
His plan was to go to Luofeng Ridge if he encountered members of the demon spider tribe!
It was just that!
He hadn't expected to be poisoned by Fan Hui's spider venom...
As for the matters of the Heavenly Demon Cave!
He wasn't in a hurry!
If Fan Hui truly needed the help of the bird race, he would contact him immediately!
His mission was to cultivate (devour) and refine (demons)!
Eleven individuals with divine bird bloodlines would fight monsters ahead, and he would cook behind them!
In fact, eating demon beasts, others would not be able to break through; it would only fill their stomachs!
But Chen Nan was different!
He was a mortal!
For a mortal, eating demon beasts was no different from consuming elixirs!
This was his cultivation method!
Of course, Chen Nan had no doubt!
If Yan Guang were willing to give him a wing to eat!
His strength would at least reach the Golden Immortal level after consuming it!
------
Heavenly Demon Cave!
Fan Gan, dressed in a black robe, sat on the throne in the main hall!
Below him, two teams of Heavenly Demon Cave powerhouses stood in formation!
Humans were the leaders of all races, so many demon races emulated humans!
They transformed into human form and built palaces!
The scene before him was very much like courtiers awaiting orders from their king!
Fan Gan loved this feeling of being on top!
Although he hadn't yet ascended to this position!
He could still indulge in it for now!
He looked coldly at the demon spider tribe powerhouses below: "A bunch of useless wretches who can't accomplish anything and only mess things up, haven't you found those seven traitors yet?"
"They are insane and defy all human ethics, actually taking advantage of their father's seclusion to seize Yinniang!"
"They even tortured her to death!"
"If I don't capture them and slice them into a thousand pieces, how can I face my father?"
"How can I face Yinniang who died tragically at their hands?"
The Spider Emperor was lecherous!
Therefore, he married many women from the demon spider tribe!
Yinniang was one he married ten thousand years ago!
However, since the Spider Emperor had gone into seclusion, the voluptuous Yinniang had been living a widow's life!
Coincidentally, it was Yinniang's birthday!
The eldest son, Fan Tian, held a banquet under the guise of celebrating Yinniang's birthday!
This banquet was a family affair, attended only by the eight brothers and Yinniang!
Fan Gan also took this rare opportunity to secretly add Soul-Shattering Powder to the food!
This was a colorless and odorless poison!
It originated from the human realm!
Legend had it that even a powerful expert at the Spirit Immortal realm would lose control and revert to their beastly nature after being poisoned by it!
Of course, Fan Gan left midway, citing physical discomfort!
When people heard Yinniang's tragic screams and rushed over, Yinniang was already dead!
The scene unfolding before them was shocking!
No one expected that their seven brothers, after getting drunk, would actually attack Yinniang!
Although Yinniang was not related to them by blood, she was still the Spider Emperor's recently married wife!
Their actions enraged countless demon spider tribe powerhouses and were deemed disgraceful!
This was undoubtedly the biggest scandal in the history of the demon spider tribe!
It was soul-destroying!
After all, seven brothers took turns, leading to Yinniang's tragic death!
Even though they were all from the demon race!
They felt that their actions were too contrary to social norms and ethics!
They deserved to be struck by lightning!
Fan Gan rushed over upon hearing the news!
Seeing this, he was furious and ordered the seven men to be captured alive!
They were to be imprisoned and handed over to the Spider Emperor for judgment after he emerged from seclusion!
However, they were all sons of the Spider Emperor, and their strength was not weak, so no one dared to strike them down!
Therefore!
The seven fled!
Well!
It wasn't that their strength was too great!
It was that!
Everyone sensed a conspiracy!
The demon spider tribe was not short of intelligent beings!
Anyone with discernment could sense the conspiracy!
Otherwise, why would nine people gather for a birthday celebration!
And only Fan Gan left midway, and then this soul-destroying scandal erupted on their side?
To put it bluntly!
This was a struggle between the Spider Emperor's eight sons!
At this time, the only thing they could do was to avoid this dispute as much as possible!
Otherwise, they might get burned!
Remaining neutral was the way to survive!
In fact, they were reluctant to believe that Fan Gan could pull off such a despicable scheme, especially since he was the most intelligent among the eight sons!
But the reality was so!
Besides him, it couldn't be anyone else!
"Third Highness, in my opinion, we should contact the experts of the bird race and ask them to help search for the whereabouts of the other seven princes!" Yang Xun, an elder beside Fan Gan, said.
"If they are still alive, the truth will surely be revealed when the Spider Emperor emerges from seclusion!"
"At that time, you may be in mortal danger!"
Fan Gan nodded calmly!
Based on his understanding of the Spider Emperor!
If he could kill his seven brothers, even if the Spider Emperor emerged from seclusion, he would at most scold him a few times!
After all!
The deed was done!
He would never kill him to avenge his other seven sons!
No matter what, he was still a member of the demon spider tribe!
However!
He was not sure if contacting the experts of the bird race would necessarily help him find his seven brothers!
Although the bird race was adept at discovery and searching!
In the dense forest, the demon spider tribe was extremely skilled at camouflage!
As things stood!
He also planned to return and send a message to Chen Nan, asking Chen Nan to dispatch strong experts from the bird race to search for his seven brothers!
The silk he left for Chen Nan had the function of communication!
But at this moment!
A roar came from outside the hall: "Fan Gan, get out here and die!"
Fan Gan was momentarily blinded by joy. He flashed out of the hall!
Looking at Fan Hui, he was stunned for a moment, then revealed a ferocious smile: "Fifth brother, don't you know I've been looking for you? Why did you come back? To seek death?"
