"Ah, Master, this person is so strange!"
As soon as Zhuge Xiucheng appeared, Zhong Ling, who had been hiding in Yang Fan's sea of consciousness and watching cartoons, suddenly sent a telepathic message to Yang Fan.
"What's strange?"
Yang Fan asked softly through voice transmission.
Zhong Ling said excitedly, "I feel that this person is very close, as if he's the same as me!"
'The same as me?'
Yang Fan raised his eyebrows. 'No way, this is the old principal of the Federation Martial Arts University. He's an antique from the same era as Gu Zeyan and Liu Silong. He's the founder of the Federation Martial Arts University and is famous throughout the 36 regions of the Federation.'
Even Yang Fan had heard of the legend of Zhuge Xiucheng in the northwestern border. How could someone who was so famous and so showy be a spirit?
Did he think that all the powerhouses in the Federation and even the three Rulers were blind?
"Hmph! Forget it if you don't believe me. Anyway, I feel that he's very close. He's the same as me! "
Sensing Yang Fan's thoughts, Zhong Ling scoffed angrily and ignored him. She hid in a corner and continued watching her cartoons.
Yang Fan shook his head speechlessly. 'This little girl's temper is getting worse.'
Nevertheless, since she was willing to be his Vitality and mental power storage warehouse, he did not argue with her.
Yang Fan glanced at Zhuge Xincheng again. Although he didn't really believe Zhong Ling's judgment, Zhong Ling's reminder had piqued his curiosity.
After all, Zhong Ling was no longer an ordinary spirit.
After going through the test and transformation in the land of the spirit source, Zhong Ling had grown into a true 10,000-year spirit and a Rank-3 Spirit Emperor. Someone who could make her feel strange was definitely not ordinary.
Therefore, even though he knew that it was impossible to succeed, and that it would most likely cause Zhuge Xincheng to be wary and displeased, Yang Fan still used his Mental Energy on Zhuge Xincheng to cast a Charm skill.
"You used the [Charm] skill on the ten thousand year spirit body Yu Die. The [Charm] failed. Yu Die sensed it and ignored it. Mental Strength + 2, Willpower + 2, Skill Proficiency + 4."
Hearing the system notification, Yang Fan was dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Ten-thousand-year spirit body?
Could it be that Zhong Ling's senses were not wrong? Could it be that Zhuge Xincheng was really a spiritual being?
How was that possible? If Zhuge Xincheng was a ten-thousand-year-old spirit in disguise, the three Sovereigns of the human race would have found out. It was even more impossible for them to let a non-human Anomaly become the principal of the Federation Martial Arts University!
Those who are not of my race are bound to have different intentions.
No matter how ambitious the three Sovereigns were, it was impossible for them to let a Anomaly teach and manage one of the most outstanding and elite prodigies of the human race, right?
Yang Fan did not believe it. He could not help but cast the [Charm] skill on Zhuge Xincheng again.
"You used the [Charm] skill on the Martial Emperor (Incomplete) Zhuge Xincheng. The [Charm] failed. Zhuge Xincheng sensed it and became vigilant. Mental Strength + 5, Willpower + 5, Skill Proficiency + 10."
Yang Fan was speechless.
'What the hell?
Why did it suddenly become Zhuge Xincheng? '
'Moreover, this Zhuge Xincheng's cultivation is the same as Li Liangcai and Tian Chanzi. They're all incomplete Monarch Stage!'
Yang Fan felt that his brain was not enough to process all this.
Although the [Charm] result this time proved that Zhuge Xincheng was undoubtedly a human, Yang Fan was even more puzzled and confused.
Zhuge Xincheng was clearly only one person, but why did the [Charm] skill detect two different identities on him?
'Who is this Zhuge Xincheng? Why did this happen to him when Yang Fan had charmed so many humans and demons?'
"Haha!" Zhuge Xincheng waved his folding fan to disperse the weak mental strength that Yang Fan had sent toward him. He chuckled and reminded him, "Sect Master Yang, it's very impolite to pry into other people's privacy like this!"
Yang Fan withdrew his mental strength and showed an apologetic expression. "It's a habit. I couldn't help myself. Please forgive me, Senior Zhuge!"
No matter what the 10,000-year spiritual body was, this Zhuge Xincheng was definitely someone that Yang Fan could not afford to offend.
He was an incomplete Martial Emperor, and he was not half-crippled like Li Liangcai and Tian Chanzi, who could only hide in the Carefree House.
It was a little scary just thinking about it.
How many big bosses like this were hidden in the Federation?
Didn't they say that the Human Clan was on the decline and had a pitiful number of top powerhouses? Yang Fan didn't have such a feeling. How could he encounter an incomplete Martial Emperor who was several times stronger than a half-step Martial Emperor?
"It's understandable." Zhuge Xincheng nodded slightly. He didn't think that Yang Fan was patronizing him. "With your current situation, it's never wrong to be careful no matter where you go."
"After all, the assassination bounty list jointly set up by the Six Great Demon Holy Lands isn't just for show. Even I am a little tempted by the reward for being the number one under the three Martial Emperors!"
Yang Fan's heart skipped a beat. 'What does this old man mean?'
"So," Zhuge Xincheng recommended himself to Yang Fan again, "it's really necessary to recruit I into your Demon Extermination Sect. I's strength is needless to say. It's definitely worth it to become a guest elder of the Demon Extermination Sect and occasionally act as your bodyguard or something!"
Qin Peirou and Shen You were dumbfounded.
No way, right?
Could it be that Principal Zhuge really wanted to join the Demon Extermination Sect?
What was this? He was the former principal of the Federation Martial Arts University, a super big shot who was like the pillar of the Federal Center City. He could get whatever resources he wanted. Why would he want to compete with them for a guest elder's job?
Also, what kind of sect was this Demon-exterminating Sect? Why was it so attractive that even Headmaster Zhuge kept recommending himself to it?
This made Qin Peirou and Shen You, who were still hesitating, make up their minds instantly. They would join the Demon Extermination Sect no matter what!
Even without the Soul Refining Pills, they would still join the Demon Extermination Sect. They would definitely be the guest elders!
Yang Fan wasn't too surprised by this, especially when he saw that Zhuge Xincheng was also an incomplete Monarch. He already understood Zhuge Xincheng's intentions.
Therefore, after hearing Zhuge Xincheng's recommendation, he looked at Zhuge Xincheng calmly. "Senior Zhuge, are you serious? Have you really decided to join this junior's Demon Extermination Sect? "
"Of course!" Zhuge Xincheng retorted. "Why, Sect Master Yang, don't you welcome me?"
Yang Fan said, "Senior Zhuge, this junior naturally couldn't ask for anything more.
"However, what this junior wants to say is that even if you don't join the Demon Extermination Sect, this junior won't refuse to treat your injuries when I advance to the Emperor Realm in the future and help you step into the true Monarch Realm.
"Therefore, there's really no need to wrong yourself. Moreover, this junior doesn't want to take in a guest elder who isn't sincere about joining the Demon Extermination Sect. "
Pa!
Zhuge Xincheng waved his right hand and closed the jade folding fan in his palm. He looked up at Yang Fan in surprise.
"Interesting."
"As expected of the number one Emperor-level doctor in the Federation. You can see through the hidden injuries in I's body in such a short time. Amazing!"
Zhuge Xincheng clicked his tongue and praised Yang Fan.
He didn't expect that not only did Yang Fan see through the hidden injuries in his body, but he also saw through his true cultivation.
In the entire federation, besides the 3 Emperors, there was no other person who knew that he was a Monarch Realm expert.
Even Li Liangcai and the old monk, Tian Chanzi, didn't know.
For a long time, he had been treated as a secret weapon by the Three Emperors like a trump card.
He didn't expect that today, Yang Fan, a little fellow in the King Realm, would see through his identity with a single glance.
Was it because of the trace of Mental Energy he released just now?
Zhuge Xincheng had some guesses in his heart.
This kid really did have some ability!
No wonder he could obtain such a great reputation in the Federation and obtain the favor of Old Man Li and that baldy, Tian Chanzi.
Zhuge Xincheng glanced at Qin Peirou and Shen You. With a thought, he erased their memories of the previous second. At the same time, he also restrained their bodies and consciousness so that they couldn't hear the conversation between him and Yang Fan.
"Apart from that, I wonder if Sect Master Yang has seen anything else?"
Zhuge Xincheng asked Yang Fan with a curious look in his eyes.
Yang Fan glanced at Qin Peirou and Shen You with a chill in his heart.
Although he didn't sense any danger from Zhuge Xincheng, he still felt a little uncertain when facing such a relatively unfamiliar incomplete Martial Emperor.
If Zhuge Xincheng had ulterior motives and wanted to harm him, Yang Fan wouldn't be able to deal with him at all with the silly deer in his arms.
Therefore, Yang Fan subconsciously held the Stone of Time and Space that he had been treasuring in his hand just in case.
"Eh, it's actually a Stone of Time and Space?"
Zhuge Xincheng couldn't help but glance at Yang Fan's right palm and said in surprise, "I didn't expect Sect Master Yang to have so many treasures on him."
"I'm afraid that there aren't more than 10 of these Stones of Time and Space in the entire Origin Planet. Even the 3 Rulers might not have one each."
"This is a great treasure that can save one's life, so don't waste it here." Zhuge Xincheng shrugged and said, "I don't have any ill intentions toward you, so you don't have to be so nervous."
"I hope so too." Yang Fan clenched his right hand again and said, "But there's nothing wrong with being careful. I hope you can understand, senior. After all, my life is really too valuable now!"
Following that, Yang Fan performed the Charm Skill on Zhuge Xincheng again. He would not be at ease if he did not turn such a dangerous person into one of his own.
"You performed the Charm Skill on the 10,000-year Spiritual Body Yu Die. The Charm was successful, and the 10,000-year Spiritual Body Yu Die's favorability toward you increased greatly. Mental Power + 2, Mental Will + 2, Skill Proficiency + 4."
"You performed the Charm Skill on the Martial Emperor (Incomplete) Zhuge Xincheng. The Charm failed, and Zhuge Xincheng sensed it and became vigilant. Mental Power + 5, Mental Will + 5, Skill Proficiency + 10."
Just like before.
The 10,000-year Spiritual Body Yu Die and Zhuge Xincheng's names kept appearing in the system notifications.
The only difference was that he had successfully charmed the 10,000-year Spiritual Body Yu Die!
Yang Fan's eyes lit up.
Compared to Zhuge Xincheng, Yang Fan was actually more worried about the 10,000-year Spiritual Body, which he didn't know whether it was good or evil. It would be great if he could charm it in advance!
