Chapter 1993: Chapter 1990 Cold and Deathly Silence (3)
The Demon Dragon did not dare to look at Ren Feifan, fearing Ren Feifan’s anger, and could only bow its head and say, "Lord Heaven Extinguishing Demon Sovereign, have you...forgotten that I was your mount back in the day...but later you thought I was too weak, and when passing the Dragon Clan, you directly abandoned me..."
Ren Feifan was slightly stunned, not expecting the Demon Dragon’s fate to be so tragic.
Suddenly, Ren Feifan realized something—the Demon Dragon was actually calling him Heaven Extinguishing Demon Sovereign!
Isn’t Heaven Extinguishing Demon Sovereign the title of that person in the mysterious space?
Could that guy have left this Demon Dragon here?
That’s entirely possible!
Suppressing his inner shock, Ren Feifan said, "Most of the matters from back then have been forgotten by me, and now that I am in this youngster’s body, I didn’t expect to encounter you at the Dragon Clan."
Upon hearing Ren Feifan’s personal confirmation, the Demon Dragon’s face showed delight, excitedly saying, "Demon Sovereign, it really is...you! I knew it!"
"By the way, Demon Sovereign, why don’t you use your previous body?"
Ren Feifan then remembered the Heaven Extinguishing Demon Sovereign constantly asking him to find a body; could it be that this guy knows the whereabouts of that body?
Not bothering to hesitate, he directly asked, "I’ve lost my sense of the body; back then, the tomb was stolen. Do you know the whereabouts of my body?"
The Demon Dragon pondered for a moment and nodded, "There was once a Dragon Clan expert who reached the fifth layer and mentioned that your body was forcibly taken by someone named Ye Qingtian."
Hearing Ye Qingtian’s name, Ren Feifan clearly felt the second mysterious space shuddering violently!
It’s evidently the anger of the Heaven Extinguishing Demon Sovereign!
He has always wanted to reclaim his body!
Now knowing that the body was taken away by this guy, how could he not be furious!
Ren Feifan didn’t waste words and continued asking, "Do you know Ye Qingtian’s whereabouts?"
The Demon Dragon shook his head, "I don’t know. You’ll have to ask that Dragon Clan expert from back then; he should know about Ye Qingtian. After he traversed the fifth layer, he left."
"What’s the name of that Dragon Clan expert and where is he?"
The Demon Dragon still shook his head, "I don’t know his name, only that he always carried a fan with him, which had three words, Long Taolang, written on it. Not sure if that’s his name."
The clues about the Demon King’s body end here.
Ren Feifan felt a bit troubled; he could only wait to leave the Nine Dragon Tower to ask Ren Ao Tian, or perhaps consult the Supreme Elder outside.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Ren Feifan asked.
The Demon Dragon hesitated for a moment, surprised, "Demon Sovereign, what do you intend to do to me?"
"Considering our acquaintance, I will not destroy this wisp of thought. Disperse yourself."
The Demon Dragon was terrified, a thick black fog emanating from his body, directly transforming into a middle-aged man kneeling before Ren Feifan: "Demon Sovereign, could you allow me to stay by your side? The cultivation of your current body isn’t deep; I could completely protect you!"
This time, it was Ren Feifan’s turn to be puzzled: "Can you leave this Nine Dragon Tower?"
"Demon Sovereign, I’m not just a wisp of thought; what you see here is my true form!"
"You’re in your true form? Not a thought?"
Ren Feifan was genuinely baffled; according to the rules of the second to fourth layers, each guardian was a thought left by a previous expert.
But the fifth layer wasn’t?
Ren Feifan repeatedly confirmed this, receiving affirmative answers.
"Demon Sovereign, can I go out with you? I’ve guarded this place for many years, with countless opportunities to leave. If it weren’t for the old fool of the sixth layer asking me to wait for someone here, I would’ve left long ago! Yet, that old fool truly didn’t deceive me by letting me see Demon Sovereign!"
The Demon Dragon said excitedly.
Ren Feifan was eager to take him along from here; dealing with the Overlord Dragon King wouldn’t be enough relying solely on himself and the Dragon Maiden. If the Demon Dragon were included, their strength would directly multiply!
How could he not be pleased!
Though thrilled, Ren Feifan still feigned reluctance, saying, "Since you want to follow, then follow me. You can stand up."
"Thank you, Demon Sovereign!"
The Demon Dragon was overwhelmed with excitement; he had initially been abandoned by the Demon Sovereign due to his lack of ambition and weak strength. Now the Demon Sovereign was willing to accept him again, which surely affirmed his power!
Beside them, the Dragon Maiden was naturally observing the two. She noticed Ren Feifan deliberately pretending to be someone else, lowering his voice, and calling himself the Sovereign, gazed at Ren Feifan with a rolling eye: "Humans really love to deceive."
Ren Feifan coughed lightly, glaring fiercely at the Dragon Maiden, then addressed the Demon Dragon: "You mentioned the sixth layer earlier; do you think I have the strength to enter with my current power?"
The Demon Dragon thought for several seconds, shook his head: "That old man is a bit powerful; given your cultivation level, Demon Sovereign, it might very well be crushed to pieces just stepping onto the stairs."
Feeling a bit unconvinced, the Dragon Maiden, who had ascended with ease all along, did not find the Demon Dragon’s boasting impressive.
She directly approached the sixth layer’s stairs, ready to take a step, when a formidable resistance charged directly at her!
"Bang!"
The Dragon Maiden’s form flew straight out! Her face turned pale, quickly tearing the space behind her! Directly transferring to Ren Feifan’s side!
Naturally, Ren Feifan couldn’t let the Dragon Maiden get hurt; just about to reach out to help, a violent force forced him back several steps!
"So strong!"
Ren Feifan looked thoughtfully at the sixth layer, knowing he wasn’t strong enough to enter yet.
Managing to get through the fifth layer today was satisfactory.
Not only did his cultivation advance significantly, enhancing his strength, but now he had an additional powerful ally beside him; this wave was definitely worthwhile!
"Since that’s the case, let’s go down; we will revisit the sixth layer another time."
Ren Feifan instructed.
The Dragon Maiden didn’t dare have any objections, merely glaring fiercely at that sixth layer.
As the three prepared to descend the steps, a cold voice came from the sixth layer:
"Ren Feifan, come up!"
At that moment, Ren Feifan’s steps almost halted in mid-air.
He even doubted his ears had misheard?
Did the end of the sixth layer seem to speak?
Quite notably, it even addressed him by name!
The Dragon Maiden and the Demon Dragon beside him also stared at Ren Feifan in astonishment, unable to decipher the situation.
"I must be hearing things; among the dragon tribe, I only know a little..." Ren Feifan muttered to himself.
Just as he was about to continue leaving, a reprimanding shout came again from the sixth layer!
"Ren Feifan, if you do not come up, I will kill you beneath this tower!"
Hearing these chilling words, Ren Feifan’s entire body seemed covered in a chill.
Someone indeed called him!
He furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment, then turned and walked towards the sixth layer.
"Wait here for me; since they know my name, they likely won’t harm me."
After speaking, Ren Feifan headed towards the sixth layer.
That layer had no sign of life, only coldness and silence.
