On the other side.
The three Half-step Emperors of the Eagle Grieving Stream were also shocked by Yang Fan's method of killing Long Aotian.
They didn't expect that a Half-step Emperor Great Demon, whose cultivation was not weaker than theirs, would be killed so easily!
Of course, unlike the other Half-step Emperors of other clans, Hu Peng and the two Half-step Emperors beside him saw something different from the method Yang Fan used to kill Long Aotian.
"Great Elder, don't you think that Long Aotian's state of kneeling down to be executed was somewhat familiar?"
Hu Yue, the third elder beside Hu Peng, couldn't help but whisper to Hu Peng.
"Yes, Great Elder, I also feel that it's very familiar!"
Before Hu Peng could speak, the other Half-step Emperor, Hu Jun, couldn't help but interrupt.
"It looks a bit like the method used by the Tiger Demon King to control the Human Puppets!"
"Also, look at the Floret cat in Yang Fan's arms. Don't you feel that its aura is very similar to the Tiger Demon King's?"
Hu Peng narrowed his eyes and lightly nodded his head without a trace.
Even Hu Yue and Hu Jun were able to see some clues. As the Great Elder of the White Tiger Clan, how could he not be able to see through it?
However, unlike Hu Yue and Hu Jun, the two of them only had some suspicions, but Hu Peng was already completely certain that the mastermind behind the scenes who had secretly controlled Long Aotian and made him kneel on the ground to be executed was most likely the little tabby cat in Yang Fan's arms.
Other demons didn't know the origin of the Floret cat, but as the Great Elder of the Eagle Grieving Stream, how could Hu Peng not know?
It was simply the Blood Essence Doppelganger of the Tiger Demon King. Of course, its aura and means of defense were very similar to the Tiger Demon King's!
However, what Great Elder Hu Peng didn't expect was that the Blood Essence Doppelganger of the Tiger Demon King clearly had the cultivation of a Half-step Demon King. It hadn't completely evolved to the Half-step Demon King yet. How could it completely control Long Aotian, a Half-step Emperor, without anyone noticing?
"As expected of the Tiger Demon King! His bloodline talent has actually become so powerful! "
Hu Peng exclaimed in his heart. He felt that the situation in front of him was both unexpected and reasonable.
That was the Baleful Tiger Demon Emperor's Blood Essence Clone. What was the big deal about fighting someone of a higher realm than him? If he was forced into a corner, even if a True Emperor expert came, the Baleful Tiger Demon Emperor's Blood Essence Clone might still be able to fight back!
Hu Peng's eyes flashed with a trace of excitement and fanaticism. He knew that the Tiger Fiend Demon Emperor of their White Tiger Clan had always been the strongest amongst all the Demon Emperors!
However, it was a little confused. Why would the Demon King's Blood Essence Clone help and cooperate with Yang Fan so wholeheartedly? It gave such a good opportunity to show off to Yang Fan. This was not in line with the Tiger Fiend Demon King's character.
Was it to hide his identity?
"You two are thinking too much."
Hu Peng's expression became serious. He replied to the two semi-emperor elders beside him in an indifferent tone, and said:
"That's just a Manchurian Tiger that looks a little like the Demon King. How can it be compared to the Demon King?"
"In my opinion, Yang Fan must have activated some kind of innate ability to temporarily imprison or control Long Aotian in that attack just now. That's why he was able to succeed in one strike despite being seriously injured."
Hu Peng did not dare to expose the Baleful Tiger Demon Emperor's Blood Essence Clone. He was very clear about the Baleful Tiger Demon Emperor's temper. If he exposed his Blood Essence Clone without the Demon King's permission and ruined the Demon King's plan, he would definitely be punished when the Demon King's true body came out.
"Is that so?" Hu Yue had a puzzled look on her face, "But I really think it's similar!"
Hu Jun also nodded at the side. It was indeed very similar, but their cultivation and strength were too far apart from the Baleful Tiger Demon Emperor's, so they were a little unsure.
"It's just a coincidence!" Hu Peng gently shook his head disapprovingly and said, "Why don't you think about it? If it's really the Baleful Tiger Demon Emperor, why would it be willing to stay by the side of a human Beast Tamer as a pet?
"If I were you, I would never say such nonsense again. Be careful not to be heard by the Baleful Tiger Demon Emperor. If you dare to talk about it like this, you will be punished for the crime of disrespect!"
Hu Yue and Hu Jun couldn't help but tremble at the same time when they heard this. They shook their heads repeatedly and said that they wouldn't dare.
The Great Elder was right. They all knew that the Baleful Tiger Demon Emperor's temper was very fiery. If it knew that there were demons behind its back saying that it was very similar to a human's pet, it would definitely skin them alive!
"However, Great Elder, are we really not going to do anything this time?"
After a while, seeing that Yang Fan's side was silent, and there was still no second Half-emperor demon daring to go out to kill him, Hu Yue was a little eager to give it a try.
"It's the first person below the Emperor Realm on the Demon Realm's bounty list. The bounty put out by the Five Saints Alliance is even more generous than killing a human emperor!"
Killing a human peak-level King Realm junior would give him a bounty that was no less than killing one of the three human emperors. What a good deal!
Didn't they see that there were more and more Half-step Demon Emperors and Half-step Demon Emperors gathering in the Human Realm? Did they really think that they were here to eliminate the hidden dangers of the Demon Clan and for the sake of the Demon Clan?
Don't joke. Which of these Demon Clan's great demons didn't come for the bounty on Yang Fan!
Hu Yue really couldn't figure out why the Great Elder decided not to participate in the assassination of Yang Fan from the beginning. She had never seen the Great Elder so soft-hearted and indecisive before.
"No, this time we are just here to watch the show, not to participate in the assassination of Yang Fan."
Hu Yue shook her head decisively. What a joke. Was Yang Fan so easy to kill?
If Yang Fan didn't have anything extraordinary, would the Tiger Fiend Demon Emperor rest assured to put his blood essence avatar beside him and even condescend to recognize him as his master?
Also, didn't they see that only the Demon Saint Ridge and the Black Wind Valley participated this time?
Wanyao Mountain and the Swamp Kingdom didn't even send a peak Demon Emperor. Wasn't this enough to explain the problem?
"No matter how generous the bounty is, you have to be alive to take it."
"All of you, remember this. We are only here to watch the show and to investigate the real situation of the human powerhouses. Don't participate in it!"
Hu Peng was worried that the two elders beside him would secretly take action, so he couldn't help but sternly warn them again.
In fact, when he noticed that there was no movement in the Wanyao Mountain closest to the Capital City, not even a peak Demon Emperor was sent out, Hu Peng already regretted his rash action this time.
It was a bit too hasty. It was understandable that E Xin didn't take action in time.
However, Feng Xi Jiao, that old witch, had a temperament that wished for the whole world to be in chaos. This time, if she hadn't sensed the danger beforehand, how could she not participate in such a huge commotion in front of her?
"I should be like Feng Xijiao and E Xin, hiding at the border and spying from afar. Why do I have to come personally and take the risk?"
At this time, Hu Peng already felt a little uneasy.
In fact, he also had a certain degree of selfishness.
With so many half-step Demon Emperors coming to besiege Yang Fan, if Yang Fan really showed signs of defeat, Hu Peng also wanted to get a share of the loot. At least, he had to ensure that the Tiger Fiend Demon Emperor's blood essence avatar would not be lost, so that he could show his face to the Tiger Fiend Demon Emperor.
Blood essence avatar was different from ordinary avatar mystic arts. It was condensed from at least one-third of the blood essence and Divine Soul origin of the caster. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the Tiger Fiend Demon Emperor's second life.
Once this blood essence avatar died, the Tiger Fiend Demon Emperor's true body would inevitably suffer an extremely serious backlash.
The reason why Hu Peng was so attentive was that he wanted to firmly grasp the credit of saving the emperor's life. When the Tiger Fiend Demon Emperor came out of seclusion in the future, he could bestow more rewards to him.
"Yes, Great Elder!"
"Don't worry, Great Elder, we will remember it!"
Hu Yue and Hu Jun bowed at the same time.
Hu Peng nodded slightly, then glanced at Yang Fan and the others below. He cautiously transmitted his voice to Hu Yue and Hu Jun:
"It's not safe here. Let's go deeper into the Void!"
Without waiting for the two half-step Demon Emperors to respond, Hu Peng directly covered the two beasts with his mind and teleported away.
Hu Yue and Hu Jun were dumbfounded.
Was it necessary to be so cautious?
Wasn't Great Elder always quite fierce? Why did he become so cautious today? What was he afraid of?
Just as the three Demon Beasts moved deeper into the void, a second Half-step Demon Emperor finally jumped out from the battlefield below.
"Since you don't want to be the first to stand out, then let me, He Yannian, test the strength of this human genius!"
Before appearing, a half-step Demon Emperor with the head of a red-crowned crane suddenly released his Divine Thought and quietly transmitted his voice to all the half-step Demon Emperors hiding in the dark.
"Before I make my move, who is willing to help me pin down the three half-step Demon Emperors and the two half-step Demon Emperor pets around Yang Fan?"
"You don't need to risk your lives. I just need a moment. I can guarantee that if I succeed, all the brothers who help me will equally share the reward for Yang Fan. I will never go back on my word!"
He Yannian narrowed his eyes and waited for the beasts' reply.
He knew that there would definitely be some beasts who would be willing to help because they needed a half-step Demon Emperor like Long Aotian to test whether Yang Fan still had the strength to use the mysterious method just now.
And this was He Yannian's chance.
Although it was a little risky, it was worth a gamble.
Otherwise, if the two Holy Lands, Demon Saint Ridge and Black Wind Valley, were to seize the initiative, these lone demi-emperors might not even be able to drink the soup.
"Okay, count me in!"
"Leave that Iron-teethed Crocodile to me!"
"I'll pin down that human Taoist …"
Soon, five half-step Demon Emperors responded one after another.
They only needed to slightly pin down the five half-step Demon Emperors around Yang Fan. They didn't really need to fight with their lives, so the risk wasn't great. It was worth a try.
"Then, thank you very much!"
He Yannian grinned. He knew that some beasts wouldn't be able to resist.
"Everyone, listen to my command. I'll count to three. After three counts, everyone will attack at the same time. I don't ask for much. You just need to buy me one or two seconds!"
Success or failure depended on this!
