Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 828 - Get Chen Fan to Come See Me

As Chen Fan left the central demon palace, he found that Yan Shuiyi was still waiting for him outside.

Yan Shuiyi went up to him and asked, “Is everything alright?”

“Let’s go back,” Chen Fan said and rose into the sky.

Yan Shuiyi followed closely and said, “When the First Demon General and the others came out, their gazes were cold—full of killing intent. Did you fight with them?”

“First Demon General is interested in the princess,” Chen Fan replied.

“Is that so?” Yan Shuiyi’s eyes flickered, and she asked, “Why was the princess looking for you?”

He laughed lightly and said, “She thinks I’m too outstanding and thus tried to seduce me, hoping to make me the demon king’s son-in-law.”

She rolled her eyes and chided in a low voice, “Shameless.”

How noble was the princess? On the demonic island, she had such a high status that her suitors alone could fill the entire central demon palace.

Although Yan Shuiyi recognized Chen Fan’s excellence and strength, the idea of the princess trying to seduce him seemed absurd.

Unbothered, Chen Fan smiled and said, “I may have exaggerated a little, but the truth is she deliberately gave that impression to provoke the First Demon General and use him to test me.”

“It looks like the princess is indeed curious about you,” Yan Shuiyi said.

“You’re not worried about the first demon general?” Chen Fan asked in return.

“With how calm you are, it’s clear you have a plan. You’re not even concerned about him—just how strong are you?”

Yan Shuiyi found Chen Fan’s growing strength harder and harder to gauge.

The first demon general’s strength was well-known.

For nearly two decades, he had held his position firmly, defeating equally strong opponents—a testament to his power.

Yet, due to the princess, his gaze toward Chen Fan now carried clear displeasure and killing intent.

Even so, Chen Fan remained unfazed. Calm and collected, he showed no concern for the First Demon General’s hostility, as if he didn’t consider him a threat at all.

“I just advanced to the eighth level recently. How strong can I even be? I have to cultivate well after we return.” Chen Fan shrugged and sped up.

Before long, rumors spread through the demon sect: the first demon general seemed displeased with Chen Fan, the third demon general. The reason? Chen Fan had supposedly been disrespectful to the first demon general and even provoked him verbally.

The sect was abuzz with speculation.

Did the third demon general have the strength to go against the first demon general?

The first demon, often called the “Fifth Demon Lord” in secret, had held his title for too long, his true power a mystery. He was on an entirely different level from Dou Yan, making the idea of a confrontation all the more shocking.

The first demon general had been unshaken and unthreatened for years. So, it was rare for anyone to hear that he was dissatisfied with another demon general.

Now, since the first demon general was unhappy with the third demon general, it seemed a storm was brewing within the sect.

The conflict between them stirred many hearts and fueled rumors.

The third demon general’s residence:

Chen Fan asked Yan Shuiyi, “How did word of the first demon general being unhappy with me spread?”

He doubted that someone of the first demon general’s stature would go around spreading such rumors.

“Someone’s spreading the news to stir up trouble between you and the First Demon General—to provoke a fight,” Yan Shuiyi said.

“Is it the princess, or is it those people?” Chen Fan revealed a thoughtful smile.

It might have been the princess, given that it aligned with her earlier intentions.

But there were other potential culprits: the three other demon generals or even the princess’ personal attendants.

This matter was becoming more and more interesting.

Chen Fan did not have time to pay attention to the rumors spreading outside. He silently cultivated in his residence.

Then, one day, a figure appeared in the sky—a being clad in golden armor, radiating overwhelming demonic power. This was the first demon general’s guardian, a peak Heavenly Star realm expert.

The guardian proudly stood outside the third demon general’s residence, exuding an air of superiority like a deity overlooking mortals.

His thunderous voice boomed, “Chen Fan, Lord First Demon General orders you to meet him.”

Though merely a guardian and technically beneath a demon general, his status as the first demon general’s right hand made him brazen. He did not respect Chen Fan or the third demon general’s residence.

And with all the rumors surrounding Chen Fan, the guardian only had hostility toward Chen Fan.

Outside the palace hall, Yan Shuiyi’s cold, piercing gaze locked onto him as she snapped, “Audacious! How dare a mere guardian speak to Lord Third Demon General like this? Did the first demon general not teach you the rules?”

Although a guardian of the first demon general often held more authority than lesser demon generals, they were still subordinates. And Chen Fan was no ordinary demon general—he was the third demon general.

The guardian’s eyes sharpened like twin blades at Yan Shuiyi’s rebuke. He retorted coldly, “And who do you think you are, to dare speak to me like this!”

Yan Shuiyi was just about to respond when the palace hall’s gates opened. Chen Fan walked out from the demon palace hall.

His eyes locked onto the golden-armored guardian hovering proudly in the air. Chen Fan said indifferently, “You’re the first demon general’s guardian?”

“That’s right.”

“Did he not teach you the rules? Who gave you the guts to address me while standing in the air? Get down here!”

Suddenly, Chen Fan’s aura erupted like a rampaging beast, sending a violent tremor through the golden-armored guardian’s mind.

“You...” The golden-armored guardian’s expression kept changing, a vicious light flickering in his eyes.

“You what!” Chen Fan’s gaze was cold as he said, “Get lost and go tell your owner to come here himself if he wants to see me!”

“How dare you!” the guardian roared in fury. To demand that the First Demon General personally come was a blatant insult.

An incomparably sharp sword light shot out of Chen Fan’s eyes, and he spat out a single word, “Scram!”

Rumble!

In an instant, the air exploded from the vibrations.

This golden-armored guardian received internal injuries from Chen Fan’s shout, feeling like he had taken a direct, heavy hit. He let out a low groan. His demonic true primeval kept churning as he was pushed back repeatedly, his face filled with horror. @@novelbin@@

He was a top-tier, peak Heavenly Star realm expert. If he wanted to, he could become a demon general.

However, Chen Fan’s roar had injured him and his pride. It simply made his soul tremble.
