Itās already the third time someone has erased his memory.
The first time was the Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva.
The second time was Green Pearl.
Each time, the Void Ancient Tree has blocked it, and this time is no exception.
But he merely inquired about the whereabouts of Ling Shu and Liu Li, showing neither hostility nor friendliness, yet the Demon Monarch decisively erased his memory.
It seems that there really is a problem with the two women.
Since the other party erased his memory, he will just go with the flow and see what the situation is.
The Demon Monarch withdrew the Domain and looked at Jiang Fanās dazed expression, cautiously probing:
"Wang Chongxiao, are you okay?"
Jiang Fan said blankly: "Who is Wang Chongxiao? Me?"
The Demon Monarch continued to probe: "What, you donāt even remember who you are?"
Jiang Fan shook his head, furrowing his brows: "Whatās wrong with me?"
"Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?"
The Demon Monarch finally relaxed.
Good, a succession of three questions indicates successful memory deletion.
Thereās really no way it could fail; a mere Nascent Soul Realm cannot possibly block a Divinity Transformation Venerableās Domain, right?
"You are a servant of our Demon Continent, now taking you to see our master."
Master?
Jiang Fanās eyes flickered for a moment, he said without any change in expression: "Alright."
The Demon Monarch grabbed Jiang Fanās shoulder and used Instantaneous Movement to leave.
Close to the Spiritual Snake Mountain, Jiang Fan discovered the mountain range had suffered considerable damage.
Countless palace caves had collapsed, with demon corpses and Hell Creature remnants everywhere.
Swarms of the Demon Race had joined in cleaning the battlefield, but even so, manpower was seriously lacking.
Many corpses had begun to rot and stink.
This resulted in the golden gleaming Spirit Snake Mountain Range being filled with stench and scattered corpses.
Itās not hard to imagine what a fierce battle erupted here after the interlayer world connected to the Spirit Snake Mountain Range.
Jiang Fanās heart sank.
Ling Shu and Liu Li couldnāt be in trouble, could they?
Shortly after.
A cave dwelling hidden beneath the Spirit Snake Mountain Range.
The cave dwelling was densely packed with tunnels, connecting various parts of the Spirit Snake Mountain.
The terrain was intricate and complex.
The Demon Monarch brought Jiang Fan, bowed respectfully in front of the cave dwelling:
"Great Venerate, thereās an important matter to report."
An eerie voice came from the dim cave dwelling:
"Did the Golden Scale Venerate die in the interlayer world?"
The Demon Monarch lowered his head deeper: "Reporting to the Great Venerate, no."
He glanced at Jiang Fan and raised his hand to set up a barrier sealing Jiang Fan.
Only then did he say: "This person came looking for the Golden Scale Venerateās daughter, and I discovered him in time."
Jiang Fan was secretly astonished.
Is there a Great Venerate in this cave dwelling?
It shouldnāt be!
The strong ones from various states have come to support the Spirit Snake Mountain, thereās no reason for the Great Venerate of the Spirit Snake Mountain to hide in the mountains and not come out, right?
Could it be that Spirit Snake Mountain has two Great Venerates?
Itās just unknown whether the Great Venerate before him is Liu Liās father.
Unfortunately, theyāre guarding against him, not letting him hear their conversation.
Thinking about it, he secretly activated the Mute Zen Bead and exchanged a glance with the Demon Monarch.
Next, what he wants to say, and what he receives, will first pass through his mind.
Jiang Fan simply needs to guard his Heart Spirit, not producing thoughts, to secretly listen to their conversation.
"Looking for the Golden Scaleās daughter?"
A silhouette stepped out from the darkness.
To be exact, a half-human, half-snake Great Demon.
The upper body was a tremendously burly Human Clan, with ink-black hair and eyes, the exposed chest muscles bulging.
The lower body was a long black snake tail, its scales shimmering darkly in the faint light.
His nape had a Divine Ring.
Upon it were five Flame Marks.
Jiang Fan secretly marveled.
Already in the Heavenly Human Five Declines realm, yet still half-human, half-snake?
In his impression, demons reaching Nascent Soul Realm could completely transform into Human Clan.
A Demon Emperorās daughter was born in human form.
Whatās going on with this Great Venerate before him?
The Great Venerateās black pupils stared at Jiang Fan, said:
"Whatās his background?"
The Demon Monarch said: "Claims to be from Taicang State, named Wang Chongxiao, ordered to go to the interlayer world to assist."
Snake Tail Venerateās gaze narrowed: "Taicang State? Golden Scaleās daughter came from Taicang State."
"This person, indeed, has a significant connection with Golden Scaleās daughter."
"Luckily, he encountered you; if he met Golden Scaleās people, the news of his daughterās return couldnāt be concealed."
The Demon Monarch nodded: "This person represents Taicang State, so I didnāt dare kill him."
"Just temporarily erased his memory."
"Great Venerate, how do you plan to handle him?"
Snake Tail Venerate said indifferently: "Of course, silence him."
"However, donāt let him die here, take him to the interlayer world and let him die reasonably among the Hell creatures."
The Demon Monarch nodded, smiling slightly: "Great Venerate is wise."
"Just let him, in your name, kill more Hell creatures and earn some credit."
"To contribute to your dominion over the Spirit Snake Mountain."
"Then Iāll remove the barrier, let Great Venerate personally assign him a mission."
Saying this, he flicked a finger, removing the barrier.
Jiang Fan decisively closed Mute Zen, his heart surging with difficult-to-hide agitation.
Liu Li and Ling Shu came to Spirit Snake Mountain.
But, it seems they found the wrong Great Venerate, ending up in front of Liu Liās biological father, Golden Scale Venerateās arch-enemy.
His heart was tumultuous.
What did the Snake Tail Venerate do to Liu Li and Ling Shu?
Did he kill them?
Probably not; killing Liu Li yields him no benefit.
Keeping her alive might help constrain Golden Scale Venerate at a critical time.
Thinking of this, his heart finally steadied slightly.
He couldnāt help but sigh.
Where there are people, there is the world; demons are no exception.
He must find a way to contact Golden Scale Venerate and inform him about Liu Li.
Otherwise, he alone, trying to rescue people from a Heavenly Human Five Declines demon Great Venerate, is nearly impossible.
"Wang Chongxiao, you are my servant."
"Now go to the interlayer world, try to slay Hell creatures as much as possible, make sure they donāt escape."
Snake Tail Venerate said indifferently.
Jiang Fan snorted coldly in his heart, thinking of borrowing a knife to kill?
Is he so easy to use?
His eyes flashed as he showed a contemplating expression: "Great Venerate, I am Human Clan, you are Demon Race."
"Why would I be your servant?"
The Demon Monarch furrowed his brows, suspiciously observing Jiang Fan.
But itās not strange, some overly cautious individuals maintain strong rational capacity even after memory deletion.
Snake Tail Venerate said indifferently: "Youāre doubting my words?"
An intent to kill danced in his eyes.
If not for Jiang Fanās identity as a Taicang State envoy, inconvenient to kill directly, how could he engage in unnecessary speech?
Jiang Fan bowed: "Junior does not dare, only, Junior remembers nothing."
"Without proof, I dare not heed orders blindly."
Snake Tail Venerate laughed angrily but had to suppress his temper.
He sensed briefly, detecting Jiang Fanās Heavenly Thunder Stone, immediately conceiving a plan.
The fingers he kept behind his back gently flicked, causing a scale to silently fall into Jiang Fanās Heavenly Thunder Stone.
"See if on your body, thereās a scale of mine?"
Jiang Fan certainly noticed changes in the Heavenly Thunder Stone.
Feigning ignorance, he opened the Heavenly Thunder Stone, extracted the scale, and matched it against the Snake Tail Venerateās aura, then bowed respectfully:
"Master, I truly am your servant."
Snake Tail Venerate said: "Then go immediately to the interlayer world."
Jiang Fan nodded: "Yes, Master!"
Yet he did not leave immediately, instead hesitating:
"Master, I remember nothing, not even cultivation techniques, magic artifacts, or talismans."
"That interlayer world must be very dangerous, right?"
"Wouldnāt it be very dangerous for me to go like this?"
