"Demon Emperor, Xiao Fan!"
As soon as these four words came out, the hearts of everyone in the restaurant trembled slightly. For a moment, no one said anything. Everyone was silent.
"Grandpa, Demon Emperor, Xiao Fan. Who is that?" The five to six-year-old girl shook her grandfather's arm. Her innocent eyes were filled with curiosity as she asked in a childish voice.
"That's … a legend!" The old man stroked his granddaughter's little head, then sighed and said, "A legend that has disappeared!"
"Why did he disappear? And him, is he very powerful? "The five to six-year-old girl's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Powerful? He's more than powerful. " A skinny diner answered. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "That's the Demon Emperor, one of the Five Emperors. You should know that there have only been four emperors in the Central Imperial Realm. Many old antiques wanted to take that step. They all wanted to be real emperors and be on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao. However, for hundreds of millions of years, no one was able to take that step!
"Only he suddenly rose to power five thousand years ago. He swept through the entire Central Imperial Realm and defeated all the superpowers that were on the surface and hidden. In the end, he stepped on countless people's corpses and sat at the peak of the world. He looked down on everyone and looked down on the world!"
"Son of Fate? Son of Destiny? "
"Heh, the number of Sons of Fate and Sons of Destiny that the Demon Emperor killed was not small. Not to mention the Sons of Fate and Sons of Destiny, he even killed the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. He even fought against the Heavenly Dao's original body. On the day he held the Emperor Ascension Ceremony, even the Heavenly Dao's original body appeared personally to congratulate him!"
"Tell me, is he powerful or not?"
"Oh!" The five to six-year-old girl clearly knew a lot about cultivation. Therefore, when she heard the skinny diner's words, her eyes widened cutely. Her cheeks puffed up, and she looked surprised.
"That was an era that belonged to Xiao Fan alone. In that era, all geniuses had to obediently make way for him. All forces had to keep quiet for him. Those who offended him and angered him were truly enraged. I don't care who you are. There's only one ending for you — death! "
"Demon Emperor Xiao Fan. Since ancient times, after a hundred million years, he is the only one, and I'm afraid there won't be a second such legendary figure!"
"It's a pity that the Devil Emperor is dead. The Magic Kingdom had been destroyed, and all the people and forces who had followed and relied on the Magic Emperor were dead. Demon Emperor Xiao Fan, in the end, has become a pale piece of history that only remains in our memories! "Another customer said, shaking his head and sighing softly.
"Yes, the Demon Emperor is dead, and the Magic Kingdom has been destroyed. Everything is in the past!" The excitement in the skinny diner's eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him. Then, he sighed heavily and said helplessly.
"What a pity for the hero of a generation!"
"We're not in that era. Otherwise, I'd really like to see the glory of this legendary figure!"
"The heavens are really jealous of the heroes!"
"Actually, the most pitiful ones are those who followed the Demon Emperor. Back then, when the Magic Kingdom was destroyed, how many people died? It was simply a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood! "
Many diners were discussing in low voices.
"The Demon Emperor isn't dead. He just disappeared!" The one who spoke was still the cold voice that first mentioned Xiao Fan.
When they heard this cold voice again, all the diners in the restaurant heard it. Hearing the voice, all the diners in the restaurant turned their heads and looked over. When they saw the person who spoke, many of them were slightly stunned.
This was because the voice sounded like a man's, but in fact, it was a woman. It was just that this woman's appearance was very ordinary. There was nothing special about her at all.
"The Demon Emperor isn't dead? If he's not dead, then the Magic Kingdom was besieged by countless forces back then. When it was completely destroyed, why didn't he appear? " All the diners just glanced at this woman and then looked away indifferently. The diner who said that Xiao Fan was dead suddenly couldn't help but refute.
"You don't have to refute me." This ordinary-looking woman glanced at this diner very calmly, then turned her head again, took a sip, and then said, "I'm just talking about a possibility. Moreover, the Demon Emperor didn't appear back then. It's very likely that he was trapped somewhere and couldn't appear at all. It's not that the Demon Emperor is really dead!"
"Just like the Celestial Emperor, the Immortal Emperor, and the other Four Emperors, aren't they all missing now? But if everyone doesn't see their bodies for a day, do you dare to say that they're really dead? "
"This …!" This diner was suddenly speechless and couldn't say anything.
"Although that's true!" This diner had nothing to say, but another diner who looked more steady shook his head and said, "But now, not only me, but many people actually believe that the Demon Emperor is dead!"
"Because it's been three thousand years since the Demon Emperor disappeared. For three thousand years, there's been no news of him. Even when the huge Magic Kingdom was destroyed by the joint forces of many forces, he didn't appear. Even if he's trapped somewhere and can't leave, after such a long time, even if he's really not dead, I'm afraid he's not far from death!"
"Although the Demon Emperor's body hasn't been seen, and we can't be sure whether the Demon Emperor is really dead or not! “
"However, there's extremely secretive news that the forces that besieged the Magic Kingdom somehow got an arm of the Demon Emperor from somewhere to prove that the Demon Emperor is dead. Therefore, the faith of many people in the Magic Kingdom suddenly collapsed, and the once prosperous Magic Kingdom was completely destroyed in just a year!"
"Is this true? Why haven't I heard of it? " Hearing this steady diner's words, many diners were shocked and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it's true. Otherwise, do you think the Magic Kingdom, which was at the peak of its power at that time, would be destroyed in such a short time with so many experts in the Magic Kingdom even if the Demon Emperor wasn't around, and even if the Heavenly Court couldn't take care of itself because of the disappearance of the Celestial Emperor, how could the Magic Kingdom be destroyed in such a short time with so many experts guarding it? They couldn't even hold on until the Heavenly Court stabilized itself and the reinforcements from the army arrived? "This steady diner said with certainty.
"That's true!" Many diners nodded in agreement.
"Of course, not only do I have a speculation, but I also have a reliable source of information. Otherwise, I wouldn't say that!" This steady diner said again. "As for the source of the information, I won't say much because everyone knows that the Demon Emperor Xiao Fan is now a taboo topic. Because our Red Rock City is located in a remote place, even the Water Cloud Holy Land doesn't care much about it. It can be said that the mountain is high and the Emperor is far away. Therefore, we can talk about the Demon Emperor Xiao Fan's past when we have nothing to do!"
"If you were in the Central Region, Upper Region, and other places where the major forces gathered, the Demon Emperor wouldn't even know the name of the Demon Emperor. I'm afraid that many people wouldn't even know the name of the Demon Emperor, right? "
"That's true!" Many diners nodded in agreement.
"To cut the weeds, one must remove the roots. The best way to remove the roots is to completely erase everyone's memory of the person. Isn't that what the major forces are doing now?" This steady diner put down the wine glass in his hand, then shook his head and sighed. "In my opinion, after a few decades, when our generation dies, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Central imperial realm will remember the Demon Emperor!"
"When that time comes, the Demon Emperor Xiao Fan won't even be considered as history!"
"Sigh!" Many diners shook their heads and sighed again. Their faces were filled with extreme regret.
Although many diners sighed with regret, they didn't show any grief on their faces. Firstly, it was because they had nothing to do with Xiao Fan. Although they talked about Xiao Fan and admired Xiao Fan, that was that. Even if Xiao Fan really died, it had nothing to do with them.
Secondly, it was because this was the Central imperial realm. It was an extremely beautiful but cruel Central imperial realm.
Since ancient times, just how many people who were once famous for a time had died? But who still remembered them now? No one!
Even if the Demon Emperor died, as time passed, he would eventually be forgotten by everyone and turned into an ordinary wave in the long river of history!
Xiao Fan was no exception!
"Talented people emerge from every generation. The new generation replaces the old!" A diner lamented.
"Alright, let's talk about something else. Let's talk about that Young Master Tianqing? Young Master Tianqing has become a star glory. The Water Cloud Sacred Ground will definitely advertise in the entire Tianqi County and the surrounding counties. As such, the Water Cloud Sacred Ground's recruitment of new disciples this year will definitely be explosive! "
"That's for sure. Oh right. That brat of mine has to work harder because there's still some time before the Water Cloud Sacred Ground's recruitment. If he doesn't work hard, he might be eliminated! "
"My daughter has to be urged as well because the competition this year will definitely be intense. If he's eliminated, it will delay his cultivation for a year and it will be very detrimental to his future cultivation!"
"I heard that Young Master Tianqing has some connections with our Red Rock City? I wonder if he'll make a trip to our Red Rock City? "
"Dream on. Would Young Master Tianqing come to a small place like our Red Rock City?"
"Heh, that's not impossible. Anyway, I heard that Young Master Tianqing has a deep relationship with our Red Rock City!"
"What kind of deep relationship?"
"Don't ask me because I've only heard about it!"
"Cheh!"
Shortly after, all the diners in the restaurant changed the topic and started chatting about other things.
The ordinary-looking lady didn't say anything after the two conversations. Instead, she sat there quietly, sipping her wine while gazing at the scenery outside.
Xiao Fan, who had been quietly watching everything from the side, finally withdrew his mind at this moment. After which, he glanced at this ordinary looking lady and seemed to have some doubts. However, he did not say anything in the end. Instead, he once again looked outside and was lost in thought.
He didn't expect that it had been three thousand years since he left the Central imperial realm!
In that case, the time ratio between the Central imperial realm and Earth wasn't one thousand to one anymore.
In other words, the ratio of time between the Central Emperor Realm and the Earth used to be one thousand to one. However, during the time he had been away, the time in the Central Emperor Realm had sped up. Deducting the one year he had spent searching for the Earth in the spatial turbulence, the time in the Central Emperor Realm was now passing at twice the speed of the other worlds.
One year on Earth was two thousand years in the Central imperial realm!
The time in the Central imperial realm had always been stable. Now that it suddenly sped up, something was wrong. This should be related to the sudden disappearance of the Sky Emperor and the other three!
As for the specific reason, Xiao Fan couldn't say for the time being. He could only vaguely guess something from the letter based on his past experience. However, he couldn't be completely sure that it was the truth.
Right now, all he could do was take one step at a time and observe the changes. Then, he could slowly search for the secret.
"Hi!"
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Fan's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. A pretty figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Fan. Then, she giggled and greeted Xiao Fan.
It was Shangguan Tong!
"Here you go!" Shangguan Tong handed Xiao Fan a white card. Then, she smiled and said, "This is Golden Roc Trading Company's anonymous cloud card. There are five hundred thousand cloud coins in it. You can withdraw it at any time!"
Xiao Fan looked at Shangguan Tong, nodded, and took the card. Then, he said, "Okay!"
"You can stay in the Moon Reflection Inn for three days. During these three days, I'll waive all your expenses!" After completing the transaction, Shangguan Tong seemed to be in a good mood. She immediately spoke to Xiao Fan with a smile of exultation.
"Thank you!" Xiao Fan smiled. Then, he said, "Since that's the case, I won't take advantage of you. For the time being, I owe you a small favor. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties that you can't solve, you can come to me. No matter what the difficulty is, I can solve it for you!"
"No matter what difficulty I come to you, you can solve it for me?" When Shangguan Tong heard Xiao Fan's words, she was momentarily stunned. Then, she couldn't help but laugh. Just as she shook her head and was about to say something, an ear-piercing sneer suddenly sounded beside Shangguan Tong and Xiao Fan.
"Haha, did I hear wrongly? A sickly man with no strength to truss a chicken actually said that he would be able to solve any problem? This is simply too interesting, simply too interesting! "
This voice was Sun Zhengwei's.
At this moment, Sun Zhengwei stood beside Shangguan Tong and Xiao Fan. He looked at Xiao Fan with a mocking expression. Moreover, it wasn't just him. The group of extraordinary youths that Xiao Fan saw outside the city were also standing beside Shangguan Tong and Xiao Fan. After a brief moment of shock, they all laughed along with Sun Zhengwei. Their laughter was filled with mockery and disdain for Xiao Fan. (Not yet)
