Best Young Master

Inside the Light Gate, there are Time Laws that cannot be reversed; one can only move forward!

Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf flew forward uncontrollably along the pathway constructed by Time and Space Laws, braving the overwhelming evil aura.

"Damn, we’ve fallen into their trap this time."

Bai Yan wolf was extremely nervous, sensing immense danger from the overwhelming evil aura.

This was the aura of a Demon King, with unfathomable strength. It was impossible to measure what realm it had reached, but conservatively estimated, it was above the Mid-stage Venerable Realm.

Ye Fan’s expression was grave, his eyes shooting out cold light!

Clearly, the City Lord intended to lead them to their death, having no intention of letting them leave the Heavenly Prison alive.

Human Clan’s First City is so dark, and by extension, the entire starry ancient road might not be a good place; it’s all about survival of the fittest. Only strong power can earn fairness; otherwise, one could only be ruthlessly eliminated, without a voice to protest.

Judging by the proficiency of those involved in this affair, they must not be doing this for the first time. Human Clan’s First City needs a major reshuffle.

The starry ancient road is for all Cultivators, not just human Cultivators; even the Demon Clan can step onto this strongest trial path.

The City Lord of Human Clan’s First City persecutes Cultivators coming for trials so blatantly. Might people from other star domains be unaware?

The Law Enforcers on the starry ancient road haven’t fulfilled their responsibilities, or perhaps, Human Clan’s First City doesn’t have Law Enforcers at all—City Lord and Law Enforcer are the same person.

"Ye, I sense something wrong ahead; there’s huge danger. What should we do?"

Bai Yan wolf was a bit flustered. The soldier Ye Fan had thrown in earlier had long disappeared, but a bloody smell wafted in through the passage.

Clearly, that hapless guy had met his end; there must be something extremely dangerous ahead—the City Lord wants to kill witnesses and seize treasures!

"Let’s see how things unfold!"

Ye Fan said calmly.

He understood that if fear took root now and disrupted their strategy, the result was almost predictable—they would be swallowed alive by whatever lurked ahead.

...

City Lord Mansion!

The City Lord, clad in a golden robe, sat on a Purple Gold Taishi Chair, eyes glinting like golden lamps, emanating the majesty of a superior.

Not far in front of him, his confidant, who had swept Ye Fan into the Light Gate using a Treasure Seal, stood respectfully explaining something.

"Reporting to the City Lord, that Ye has been pushed into the Forbidden Zone by me. He’s likely been torn apart by that Demon King as a snack by now!"

The voice of the City Lord’s confidant echoed in the sparse hall, sounding somewhat depressing.

"Hmm, you’ve done well in this matter. Once I obtain the Emperor Weapon, you’ll be handsomely rewarded!"

The City Lord’s cold face revealed a hint of a smile as he nodded and said.

"I dare not, serving by the City Lord’s side is already an honor for me; I dare not have further desires."

His confidant was skilled in flattery, making the City Lord even more joyful, repeatedly saying: "Rewards are called for, deserving a reward for achieving success, once I acquire the Emperor Weapon, I’ll reward you with a secret technique."

"Congratulations City Lord on obtaining the Emperor Weapon!"

The confidant said obsequiously, "With the Emperor Weapon, your Cultivation will surely reach new heights, perhaps even a chance to Prove Dao!"

"I’ve grown old, it’s not possible; I’m not thinking about Proving Dao. I’ll be satisfied if my son is able to Prove Dao in the future. With the support of the Emperor Weapon, I believe he can dominate the starry ancient road, reaching the peak!"

The City Lord laughed heartily, in a spirit of satisfaction.

His son, Young Master Pang Xie, indeed has extraordinary talent, not to mention his father guards Human Clan’s First City, wielding Cultivation Resources far beyond that available to ordinary small world sects or clans, even comparable to Holy Lands or Wu Shang Sects of realms like Linxian Ancient Star Domain of Life.

Since his birth, Pang Xie has been cultivating the best Cultivation Technique and martial arts, with endless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for cultivation.

One could say, his father poured all his heart and hopes into him, yet also nurtured his arrogant and domineering, disdainful habits.

"Let’s go to the Forbidden Zone, and see if that Ye fellow has died!"

The City Lord stood up, striding dragonlike and tiger-like toward the hall entrance.

...

Within the Forbidden Zone, the wind roared with rage, black mist swirling like Hell, everywhere were ghastly white bones, occasionally clusters of Ghost Fire floated around.

Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf emerged from the passage, confronted by this scene, instantly making Bai Yan wolf shrink his neck.

The scenario here was eerie, even more unsettling than the Death Zone of the ancient star inhabited by the Lei Clan. Even Ye Fan’s Heavenly Eye couldn’t see far, as the ominous evil aura cut into one’s body like steel knives.

"Hehehehehe..."

A chilling laughter sounded abruptly, startling Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf simultaneously.

Bai Yan wolf immediately spat out the Purple Gold Bell, suspended it above his head, descending myriad Purple Lights, firmly protecting him inside.

"Unexpectedly, so much Blood Food is delivered this time!"

The elusive voice sometimes seemed distant, as if coming from the edge of the sky, and sometimes it was close, like a whisper in the ear.

Gradually, the black mist dissipated, revealing not far ahead a burly elder, dressed in tattered clothes, hair disheveled, standing in the void. His eyes were like golden lamps, emitting a dazzling divine radiance, his whole body exuding a sky-high demon energy, clearly a powerful Demon King of the Demon Clan.

"Awoo..."

The Bai Yan wolf let out a long wolf howl, its entire body exuding the majesty of a king, fully activating its Imperial Family bloodline power, attempting to communicate with this powerful Demon King.

However—

What awaited them was a gigantic beast claw covering the sky, like a thousand-zhang Heavenly Dragon, shimmering with dark scales, reaching out to grasp them, showing no response to the Bai Yan wolf’s communication.

Too fast!

The dark giant claw, seemingly solid, tore through the void, collapsing heaven and earth, its terrifying aura of destruction instantly enveloping Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf.

"Space confinement?"

Ye Fan was shocked, feeling as if he was completely immobilized, unable to move at all, watching helplessly as the gigantic scaled claw came crashing down.

Just then, Ye Fan suddenly saw that the elder was bound by golden chains, completely confining him within this area.

The golden chains flickered with mysterious runes, these were the divine chains of Heaven and Earth Laws, incredibly strong, once bound, even a Supreme Holy Master level strong person couldn’t hope to escape.

"Ah!"

At the life-or-death moment, Ye Fan unleashed endless potential, with a loud shout, he painfully broke through the space confinement, grabbed Bai Yan wolf by the top of its head, and took a step, dodging into the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown’s Virtual Space.

"Boom..."

A loud explosion, as if an earthquake and tsunami occurred within the Virtual Space, intense vibrations, surging divine power rushed into the Virtual Space, instantly blasting Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf out.

"Puff!"

Ye Fan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, dissolving the astonishing killing intent, his face turning pale as paper.

At this moment, his heart was even more shocked, the Virtual Space is the internal space of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, as long as the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown is fine, the Virtual Space can never be broken, it’s like being in another space.

And this Demon Clan Saint actually struck once and forced divine power into the Virtual Space, equivalent to injuring them across a world, this kind of strength is truly terrifying.

The Bai Yan wolf flew over ten li, and after landing, rolled forward nearly a li before getting up, covered in dust, wobbling like a drunk towards Ye Fan.

At this moment, in the place where Ye Fan originally stood, the golden Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown quietly floated in the air, emitting a gentle light, forbidding and inviolable.

"Boom!"

At this time, a powerful aura suddenly surged into the Forbidden Zone, matching the Demon Clan Saint locked by the Heaven and Earth Laws chains.

"Hmm?"

The Demon Clan Saint couldn’t bother with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown hovering in mid-air, his eyes shooting out two beams of divine light towards where the powerful aura appeared, capable of piercing the heavens.

"Boom!"

The powerful aura also shot out two beams of gaze, colliding with the Demon Clan Saint’s gaze, causing a thunderous explosion, shaking the entire Forbidden Zone.

"Pang, if you have the guts, let me out, and we’ll have a one-on-one fight. If I die at your hands, I have no complaints. Confine me here like this, what kind of hero does that make you?"

The Demon Clan Saint’s whole body surged with blood energy, roaring hoarsely at the approaching City Lord with dragon-walk steps.

"Shut up, you rampaged the Xing Kong Gu Road, indiscriminately killing the innocent, committed boundless slaughter, your suppression here is the deed of the previous City Lord, don’t put it on my head."

The City Lord’s majestic figure appeared in the distance, confronting the Demon Clan Saint without losing momentum.

Two people stood on his left and right, one of whom was indeed the City Lord’s son Pang Xie, and the other was the confidant who forced Ye Fan into the Forbidden Zone.

They were here to claim the Emperor Weapon, and in their eyes, Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf entering the Forbidden Zone meant certain death.

The Light Gate directly led to the center of the Forbidden Zone, as long as they stepped through the passage, they would inevitably encounter this Demon Clan Saint.

Trapped here for thousands of years, the Demon Clan Saint had long gone mad, and would surely attack immediately, treating them as Blood Food to consume, replenishing his strength and divine power.

But what they didn’t expect was that Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf actually hid in the Emperor Weapon’s Virtual Space and avoided disaster.

"Father, we can claim the Emperor Weapon, then with father’s divine skills, erasing the mark on the Emperor Weapon should be effortless, then release that Ye and that beast, let this Demon King eat them, permanently removing future troubles."

Pang Xie’s eyes flashed with a ruthless glint, glanced at the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, and suggested to the City Lord.

All his followers died in the Trial Arena, though there was no direct evidence that Ye Fan killed them, he still believed Ye Fan was connected to their deaths, and he hated Ye Fan, naturally wanting to kill him quickly to prevent problems from lingering.

"The young master is right, now is the heaven-sent opportunity, absolutely not to be missed!" the City Lord’s confidant agreed.

He and Pang Xie had the same idea, the enmity between the parties was beyond peaceful resolution, only by completely killing Ye Fan could future troubles be solved.

Moreover, they could gain an Emperor Weapon?
