At this moment, Deer Congrong, who had been hiding under the table, suddenly quivered.
It began to understand why its master had kicked it for no reason.
It had previously told Yang Fan that there was no Demi-Emperor in the Wanyao Mountain.
In the end, Yang Fan's clone in the capital was directly attacked by a Demi-Emperor of the Wanyao Mountain. This was a blatant slap to its face.
What the hell.
When it had been in the Wanyao Mountain, it had never heard of a Demi-Emperor in the Phoenix Clan. The heavens had pity on it, it really hadn't lied to Yang Fan!
"Could it be that there really is a Demi-Emperor in the Wanyao Mountain?"
Deer Congrong began to doubt itself.
After all, it wasn't a direct descendant of the Wanyao Mountain. It could be said that it had joined the Phoenix Demon Emperor halfway. In the past few decades, it had been riding on the Wanyao Mountain's coattails. However, it had never heard of a Demi-Emperor by the Phoenix Demon Emperor's side.
"If there really is one, then this Demi-Emperor has hidden himself too deeply. He hasn't revealed anything in the past few decades. Is this possible?"
Deer Congrong's mind began to search bit by bit. It went through all the coattails it had ridden on the Wanyao Mountain, but it couldn't find any clues.
"This doesn't make sense. In the past few decades, I've even seen the Demon Emperor from afar a few times. If there really is a Demi-Emperor, how could there not be any traces?"
Deer Congrong lay on the ground. It still didn't quite believe that there was a Demi-Emperor in the Wanyao Mountain.
"A Demi-Emperor in the Wanyao Mountain?"
Zhuge Xincheng whispered to himself, "There shouldn't be a Demi-Emperor in the Wanyao Mountain on the surface. At least, I have never heard of this in the past hundred years."
"However, if Sect Master Yang is sure that the assassin really came from the Wanyao Mountain, then there's only one possibility."
Deer Congrong was stunned and couldn't help but perk up its ears.
Yang Fan also raised his head and looked at Zhuge Xincheng.
"The Phoenix Demon Emperor didn't pop out from a rock." Zhuge Xincheng said indifferently, "Before it became an emperor, when it was still very weak, it was always its mother, Feng Xijiao, who protected it from the wind and rain."
"Feng Xijiao?" Li Liangcai shook his head lightly. "Never heard of her!"
Zhuge Xincheng said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of them. After all, the Fire Phoenix Clan was born in the north, which is more than 100,000 kilometers away from China."
"Moreover, Feng Xijiao wasn't very famous back then. Only I had fought with her several times in the north when he was young."
"Later on, when the Phoenix Demon Emperor rose to power, she retreated behind the scenes and rarely appeared again. Many people might have already forgotten about her existence!"
"All those years ago, its cultivation was comparable to I. If it's still alive, then it's very likely that it would have stepped into the Quasi Monarch Realm after so many years!"
Lu Congrong had a look of realization.
So it was the Phoenix Demon Emperor's mother!
No wonder it didn't think of it before. That old demonic woman wasn't even in the Wanyao Mountain. It was said that she had already hidden in the ancestral land of the Fire Phoenix Clan eighty years ago and never appeared again.
Deer Congrong had been in the Wanyao Mountain for more than thirty years, so it naturally didn't have any impression of the Fire Phoenix Demon Emperor's mother.
Who would've thought that the Fire Phoenix Demon Emperor's mother would be a Quasi Monarch Realm expert?
"Feng Xijiao?"
Yang Fan narrowed his eyes and muttered this name in his mind. Then, he sent out a strand of his Divine Sense to check the system notifications from a few minutes ago.
Soon, he found this name in a string of system notifications before the death of his Spore Avatar.
"Your Spore Avatar Yang Fan No.3 was attacked by the Fire Phoenix Demon Emperor (Incomplete) Feng Xijiao's Innate Ability from a distance. It comprehended something, but it couldn't comprehend it because it wasn't strong enough. Mental Power + 10, Spirit + 10."
It really was that Feng Xijiao!
Yang Fan suddenly raised his head and said, "I can confirm that the Great Fiend that attacked is from the Fire Phoenix Clan. It's very likely that it's the Feng Xijiao that Senior Zhuge mentioned!"
"After the avatar died, part of its Divine Sense told me that the Great Fiend is undoubtedly a Quasi Monarch. Senior Zhuge, are you confident in going alone?"
Zhuge Xincheng waved the folding fan in his hand and gently fanned a few strands of hair in front of his forehead. He said confidently and calmly, "It was defeated by me a hundred years ago, and it is still the same now!"
"Saving people is like putting out a fire. Sect Master Yang, I will accept this request. I'll go now!"
After saying that, Zhuge Xincheng waved his right hand and directly opened a space tunnel that was about the height of a person. He leisurely lifted his leg and was about to step into it.
"Senior Zhuge, please wait a moment!"
Yang Fan hurriedly stopped him. He turned to look at Student Number Four beside him and said softly to Zhuge Xincheng, "Senior Zhuge's avatar has been destroyed.
"Junior's doppelganger in the capital has already perished. The Great City Barrier Formation outside the capital still lacks a person who is extremely familiar with the Ten Directional Purgatory Devil Slaying Formation. I will have to trouble Senior to send this doppelganger of mine back!"
Yang Fan Number Four took the opportunity to step forward and cupped his hands at Zhuge Xincheng, "Thank you, Principal Zhuge!"
Zhuge Xincheng glanced at him and nodded lightly, "If that's the case, let's go together!"
After saying that, Zhuge Xincheng put his left hand on the right shoulder of Yang Fan's avatar and took him directly into the space tunnel.
Whoosh!
The aura disappeared and the space tunnel closed. Everything returned to normal.
Li Liangcai glanced at Yang Fan and comforted him softly, "Young friend, don't worry. With Mr. Zhuge's cultivation, it'll only take a few breaths to reach the capital. That Half-Emperor Fire Phoenix won't be able to do anything."
After all, the capital was a city that the Federation government supported. It was also the birthplace of the Federation Martial Arts University. The Psionic Defense Array that was set up back then was the same as the one set up in the Federal Center City. It could even temporarily block the attack of a Monarch Realm cultivator, let alone a Half-Emperor Realm monster.
As long as the Psionic Defense Array outside the city was not broken, the residents of the city would not be in danger. Once Zhuge Xincheng arrived, the crisis of the capital would be resolved.
"Amitabha … Buddha!"
Master Tian Chan softly chanted the name of Buddha and sighed softly. "This year is really an eventful year, especially after the Spirit Energy Tide. Those monsters in the Demon Territory have all become restless."
"At first, only King Realm human and demon powerhouses were fighting. Later, Emperor-level powerhouses joined in. Now, it's even more ridiculous. Not only have half-step Monarch Realm cultivators joined in, but even Half-Emperors from various clans have begun to appear!"
"In my opinion, if the three Emperors don't come out of seclusion, the battle for survival between the human and demon races will probably be right in front of us!"
Tian Chanzi looked worried. Once the battle between the human and demon races began, with his and Li Liangcai's half-crippled state, how could they help the human race survive this disaster?
Thinking of this, Tian Chanzi could not help but look at Yang Fan lightly.
Yang Fan had previously promised that he would become an Emperor in half a year. After that, he might completely heal their Dao injuries and allow them to possess true Emperor Realm cultivation.
But the problem now was, would the demon race give the human race another half a year?
Yang Fan nodded lightly. He also had such a premonition. He felt that the demon race's invasion of the human race's territory was becoming more and more frequent. Perhaps they really could not wait much longer.
"Seniors, do you know how many half-step Demon Emperors and half-step Demon Emperors there are in the demon race? How does their strength compare to our human race's? "
Yang Fan could not help but ask Li Liangcai and Tian Chanzi.
If there was anyone in the Human Federation who knew more about the number of Demon Race experts, it would be these two who were definitely the most authoritative.
Sang Duoji, Ling Tian, the Gu Brothers, and even Deer Congrong, who was lying under the corner of the table, could not help but perk up their ears.
They were also very interested in this question.
"This question … is hard to say."
Li Liangcai frowned and shook his head slightly. Then, with a wave of his hand, he directly set up a soundproof barrier around him, Yang Fan, and Tian Chanzi.
Seeing Yang Fan looking at him, he explained softly, "It may not be a good thing for too many people to know some things. For ordinary martial artists, knowing some secrets will only add to their troubles, which is not beneficial to their cultivation. "
"However, my young friend Yang Fan is not an ordinary person. Since you have asked, I can have a simple chat with you."
Yang Fan straightened his body and said respectfully to Li Liangcai, "I'm all ears."
"First, let's talk about half-step Demon Emperors." Li Liangcai said, "According to the latest statistics from the Federation's government in March this year, there are a total of 531 half-step Demon Emperors in the five Holy Lands of the Demon Realm who can be called."
"Of course, we didn't include those who live in seclusion or those who don't belong to the five Holy Lands. This portion of them isn't a small number, and there are at least 100 of them."
"On the other hand, there are only a little over 150 half-step Monarch Realm experts in our human race. Even those who haven't recovered from their heavy injuries are included. The total number is only 1/6 of the half-step Demon Emperors in the demon race! "
Yang Fan was stunned.
He knew that there was a huge gap in strength between the top experts of the human race and demon race, but he'd never imagined that this gap would actually be over 6 times.
No wonder the human race had been accustomed to hiding in seclusion for over 100 years, and they'd repeatedly avoided the provocations of the demon race. Even if the Spirit Defense Formation had appeared 80 years ago, they still defended more than they attacked.
Now it would seem like it wasn't that the human race didn't want to fight back, it was that they couldn't afford to fight back at all.
Once a large scale war for the survival of the race erupted, then the human race might not be able to endure such an enormous gap in strength.
When he sensed that Yang Fan seemed to be slightly depressed, Li Liangcai suddenly raised his head to look at Yang Fan, "How is it? Do you feel despair to the point you don't even have the courage to continue working hard on your cultivation?"
"Not to that extent." Yang Fan shook his head lightly, "I'm just slightly surprised."
"However, I'm even more clearly aware that since our Federation's human race was able to survive for 100 years after the calamity, we definitely possess an advantage that belongs to us. So, we might not necessarily be unable to compete with the demon race!"
"Haha!" Li Liangcai chuckled and nodded with satisfaction, "I knew that you're an extraordinary person. Your disposition and wisdom are both top-notch. Not bad!"
"Let's not talk about the advantages of the human race for now. Now, I'll talk about the number of half-step Demon Emperors in the demon race …."
