"I don't know the exact number either."
Li Liangcai said softly, "However, as far as I know, there are only six demi-emperors. Wushuang Jiao, whom we killed together, is one of them."
"As for the remaining five, there's one in Demon Saint Ridge, two in Black Wind Valley, and two in Eagle Worried Stream. I don't know if there are any left in Wanyao Mountain and Swamp Kingdom. "
Li Liangcai didn't mention the Fire Phoenix Demon Emperor's mother that Zhuge Xincheng had mentioned earlier because he hadn't seen her before and couldn't verify it.
"Now, let's talk about the number of demi-emperors in the human race."
Li Liangcai turned to look at the bald monk beside him and said softly,
"You might not believe it, but if Zhuge Xincheng hadn't suddenly joined forces with us to kill Wushuang Jiao, I would've thought that there were only two demi-emperors in the Federal Center City, or even in the entire Federation."
"That cunning old man hid his strength too well! He wandered around in front of us every day, but we didn't realize that he was also a demi-emperor! "
Li Liangcai knew that Zhuge Xincheng's real body had left and might've gone to the capital, which was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. Therefore, he didn't hide his thoughts at all.
"Ah Mi … That Buddha!"
Tian Chan Master nodded in agreement. "Benefactor Zhuge must've cultivated some kind of aura-concealing secret technique that can perfectly hide his cultivation aura. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hide from my spiritual senses. "
Tian Chan Master was a Spiritual Emperor, so his spiritual senses were naturally sharper than Li Liangcai and Zhuge Xincheng's. However, even he couldn't sense Zhuge Xincheng's true cultivation, so he was naturally not convinced.
Yang Fan's mouth twitched, and he understood.
Perhaps he was the only one who knew how Zhuge Xincheng hid from Tian Chan Master and Li Liangcai's spiritual senses.
Zhuge Xincheng's body was always fused with a 10,000-year spiritual body that was a half-step Ruler or above. Moreover, it seemed to be a spirit jade soul that was best at concealing one's aura.
With it and Zhuge Xincheng's Half-Emperor strength, it was not impossible to hide from the two of them.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him." Li Liangcai shook his head and said, "No matter how well he hides, he can't hide from the 3 Rulers. Since you didn't expose him on purpose, I'm sure you have other plans."
"However, the fact that this old fellow was able to step forward bravely this time allowed me and the old monk to heave a sigh of relief."
"Originally, we thought that we wouldn't live for long. If we suddenly died, the Humans wouldn't have a powerful half-emperor in the world, and the future of the Humans' Federation would be bleak."
"That's why we didn't dare to die all this time, and we couldn't afford to die. If Jiao Wushuang hadn't gone too far this time by wantonly killing people in the Federal Center City to test us, the old monk and I wouldn't have been so impulsive. We wouldn't have risked our lives to keep him and use him to threaten the other half-emperors of the Demons!"
Yang Fan nodded.
He knew that Li Liangcai and Tian Chan Master didn't suddenly attack Jiao Wushuang just for his spore clone, which was suddenly killed.
After all, the 2 Heaven-level Formations that he set up in the backyard of the City Governor's Office didn't seem to be able to hide from the spiritual senses of half-emperors. Perhaps the 2 half-emperors from the Carefree Residence already knew everything when his clone brought his disciples out in the morning.
It was Jiao Wushuang's fault for being too arrogant and offending the 2 guardians of the Central City.
Of course, it was also possible that Li Liangcai and Tian Chan Master were too afraid of Jiao Wushuang's special method of hiding his presence from their spiritual senses. It was so unpredictable that it was impossible to guard against him. If they didn't seize the opportunity to kill such a dangerous scourge in advance, they wouldn't be able to rest easy.
Zhuge Xincheng probably thought the same. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so impulsive and directly exposed his Yin body that he had been hiding for decades.
No matter what, a powerful Demon Clan figure who could take human form and perfectly avoid the spiritual perception of these Demi-Emperors was no less dangerous to the Human Clan than a real Demon Emperor.
Who knew if he would use this method to sneak into the city without being detected by the Spiritual Defense Formation?
Li Liangcai, Tian Chan Master, and Zhuge Xincheng couldn't afford to take such a gamble.
"So, you three are the only Half Emperors of the Human Clan?"
Yang Fan smacked his lips and asked Li Liangcai.
"That seems to be the case for now." Li Liangcai said, "But I can't be sure if there are other half-emperors like Zhuge Xincheng who are hiding among the Humans. Perhaps the 3 Rulers have other tricks up their sleeves. "
If Li Liangcai was still very certain before, then after this incident with Zhuge Xincheng, he was no longer as confident as before.
They couldn't even see through Zhuge Xincheng, who was right under their noses, let alone the powerhouses from the other 35 regions.
After all, due to their injuries, they hadn't taken a single step out of the central city of the Federation for several decades.
Yang Fan nodded. Even though Li Liangcai wasn't very clear and strictly speaking, he was very conservative, he had a rough understanding of the high-level powerhouses of the Humans and the Demons.
In short.
There was a huge disparity.
They weren't on the same level at all.
Even if the Humans didn't have complete statistics, there were still some half-step Rulers and half-emperors hiding in the dark.
On the other hand, the Demons weren't completely exposed either.
Having said that, the comparison of their strengths on the surface was enough to make any human martial artist feel hopeless.
"The biggest advantage of a human martial artist as compared to a demon is their comprehension of the rule power, as well as the advancement standard of a peerless powerhouse of the same rank."
"But even if a peerless powerhouse of the Humans can fight 2 or 3 against 5 opponents at once, he'll probably be too weak to face opponents of the same rank who are several times or even 10 times stronger than him, right?"
Yang Fan slowly calculated in his heart. Given the current situation, the human race had to face reality.
If he was given time, perhaps he could use the master-disciple system to nurture a batch of peerless powerhouses like the Demons, who could directly advance without the rule power of domains, within 5 to 10 years.
Nonetheless, the problem was, would he have so much time?
The situation between the Humans and the Demons was becoming more serious. Yang Fan was worried that a war between the races would break out before he fully grew up.
"Alright, keep these things to yourself. Remember not to tell anyone else."
Li Liangcai said softly, "Don't be too pessimistic. Ever since the first spiritual power tide broke out, the Humans have always been facing this situation. Over the past century, even if the situation wasn't critical, the Humans weren't exterminated by those demon b * stards. On the contrary, they became braver with every setback, and each generation was stronger than the last!"
"I've always believed that the Humans were like this in the past, now, and will be even more so in the future!"
"The Humans aren't that fragile, especially after the 3 Rulers appeared out of nowhere. The number of top-notch martial artists among the Humans has increased by tens or even hundreds of times compared to 50 or 100 years ago!"
"I believe that the situation between the Humans and the Demons will be reversed one day, and the Humans will still become the true rulers of the entire origin planet!"
Yang Fan nodded.
As a human, he naturally agreed with Li Liangcai's words. At least, he had always hoped for this in his heart, and he had been working hard in this direction for more than half a year.
"Alright, there's no need to say more. Little friend, you're an extraordinary person, so you don't need I to persuade you."
Li Liang Cai cupped his fists towards Yang Fan and said, "Once again, I thank Little Friend for his kindness in gifting us these Soul Refining Pills. With these Soul Refining Pills, this old monk and I will be able to hold on for a while longer. Perhaps Little Friend will be able to break through to the Emperor Realm."
"I'm leaving. I won't see you off!"
After saying that, Li Liangcai and Heavenly Cicada Master left at the same time.
After the imprisonment was lifted, Sang Duoduo, Ling Tian, and the others gathered around Yang Fan at the same time. The admiration on their faces had not disappeared.
"Master is so amazing! He can even refine Emperor-grade Soul Refining Golden Pills! "
"An Emperor-grade Soul Refining Master! He's definitely the first person in the history of the Federation. He's definitely unprecedented!"
Gu Qifeng and Gu Nanshan both flattered Yang Fan. Sang Duoduo and Ling Tian also came forward and asked Yang Fan softly, "Master, what did Elder Li and Heavenly Cicada Master say to you just now? Is it convenient for you to tell us?"
Obviously, the two were more concerned about the question Yang Fan asked Li Liangcai at the end.
Yang Fan shook his head gently, "No need to ask anymore. I've already promised Elder Li that this matter will not be leaked. When your strength reaches a certain level in the future, you don't need to ask. Someone will tell you. "
Sang Duoduo wrinkled her nose, feeling wronged. She was already a half-step Spiritual Emperor and could be considered as one of the top people in the Federation. How could her strength not be enough?
Could it be that she had to advance to the Monarch Realm or become a half-step Spiritual Emperor like Elder Li before her strength was enough?
Yang Fan didn't say anything else to them. He took the opportunity to encourage them to train harder and with a wave of his hand, he created another Spore Avatar in front of the four of them.
"Although the situation outside the city is getting more and more dangerous, we can't stop the construction of the Great City Barrier Formation for even a moment.
"This Spore Avatar's cultivation is similar to Master's. At the same time, it has all of Master's experience in formations. With it here, it's enough to deal with all of the formation's problems."
After saying that, Yang Fan turned around and said to his four disciples, "Master, I want to add another Purgatory Purgatory Array.
"In addition, I want to add a hidden illusory formation inside the Ten Directional Devil Slaying Formation. This formation is called the Six Paths of Reincarnation! It can be considered as a perfect addition to the Purgatory Purgatory Array.
"Later, I will give you the relevant array diagrams. When you set up the Purgatory Purgatory Array, you must integrate the Six Paths of Reincarnation into it!"
Ever since Yang Fan discovered that the Ten Directions Purgatory Fiend Slaying Formation had a limited effect on Great Demons of half-step Emperor realm, the first thing that came to his mind was the set of higher level combination formations taught by Huyan Jingde.
When Huyan Jingde had taught Yang Fan this Combination Array Formation, he had boasted about it. He had said that this Combination Array Formation was a trump card that he had created specifically to trap and kill Emperor level Great Demons. As for whether it was really effective, Yang Fan had never had the opportunity to verify it.
But now, seeing that the Evil Slaying Formation of Ten Cardinal Purgatory was unable to withstand the attack of a Half-emperor Great Demon, Yang Fan had no choice but to take out the Six Paths of Reincarnation Virtual Illusory Formation.
