Chapter 1234: Succession Ceremony (VIII)
"What about the second piece of information?"
Qin Fan looked at Fan Wanqian again.
"This is it." Fan Wanqian handed Qin Fan a token with three big words "Wanjie Tower" written on it.
"This is the message from above, asking me to pass on the trial order to Xia Jinyu. It is also a benefit that only the core members of Wanjie Building can obtain."
Qin Fan did not take the token, but put away his smile and kept staring at Fan Wanqian until a few drops of cold sweat oozed out of the other person's forehead, then he spoke.
"You have forgotten our agreement."
"It's not that I didn't follow the agreement. It's that you guys were so outstanding! I simply couldn't keep it secret any longer! But I didn't say a word about the fate body. I just had to selectively report the intelligence about you."
As Fan Wanqian explained, he pointed to the List of Hidden Dragons in All Worlds in Qin Fan's hand with a wry smile.
Qin Fan was silent for a moment and then nodded.
This really can't be stopped.
The previous war between the two worlds had to be fought, otherwise there would be no chance to obtain such a large amount of origin value. Not to mention that Qin Fan also used it to complete the Shinto system and had a more detailed control over the future development direction.
The outbreak of the war between the two worlds would inevitably expose them to the eyes of the Wanjie Building.
From the current perspective, because of Ying's timely action, things did not develop into the worst situation. And judging from this list and the trial order in Fan Wanqian's hand, the owner of Wanjie Building seemed to be slightly biased towards them.
Otherwise, with his intelligence, he would have known that those alien messengers suffered heavy casualties in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Based on their strength, it is not difficult to guess who the specific murderer is.
There is no need for any evidence. As long as this inference is told to Donghuang and Xixuan first, the attention that the Shanhai Realm will face next will at least increase several times.
So there is no need to continue to dwell on Fan Wanqian's betrayal of the agreement.
In comparison, Qin Fan was more curious about the fact that the other party could still get in touch with the Wanjie Building when the world barrier was open, and also had the means to deliver items.
Then Qin Fan directly asked the question in his mind.
“My Tongtian Chamber of Commerce also has a share in the development of the Mountain and Sea Realm, so it is normal for us to have some small authority. But don’t think that this method is easy. In addition to consuming the relationship with the Heavenly Dao, we have also invested a lot of resources.
Anyway, don't expect me to help you pass on a message or anything like that."
Qin Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at Fan Wanqian who emphasized the last sentence, and he suddenly asked.
"Is this also what the host meant? Or his position?"
"I don't know. I'm just conveying some original words." Fan Wanqian was very cautious. Even now, it seems that what he said might not necessarily reach the ears of the owner of Wanjie Tower. But on such an important issue of standing in line, he also gave a statement that best fits his neutral position.
Of course, the change in his tone was also an indirect reminder to Qin Fan.
"You really do things for money." Qin Fan said unhappily.
Fan Wanqian shrugged and gestured to the token in his hand.
"You can give it to 'Yu' in person. By the way, you should have bought a lot of good stuff during this message. Let him see which ones are suitable for purchase. As for this list."
"Just keep it. I believe you are the least likely to let the information inside leak out in advance."
Qin Fan nodded, threw the list to Feng Mo, and asked the trio to continue studying the information in it. Then he turned his attention to Kong Lin, who had not been paying attention to the transaction since it began.
This devil among monsters, who had been calm in the face of Taiwu's various verbal tests, shuddered unconsciously under the pressure of Qin Fan's gaze.
Because at this moment, he clearly felt a hint of murderous intent emanating from Qin Fan's eyes.
Different from the questioning they had just faced from Taiwu, it was impossible for Shushan to attack Fan Wanqian's guests directly just for his small Dharma Realm.
But Qin Fan is different.
Just one sentence, you know too much.
He already has the means to die!
This made him look at the fat guy Fan Wanqian again with some resentment!
Before Fan Wanqian could say anything, Qin Fan changed the subject.
"The third piece of news should be related to him."
"Yeah." Fan Wanqian nodded.
When he was about to explain in detail, Qin Fan waved his hand to stop him, and signaled Feng Mo to put away the Hidden Dragon List, and then tore open the barrier set up by Fan Wanqian with one hand.
At this moment, a long and boring popular science lecture on Daoyu history has come to an end.
Then it was switched to a talent show.
The players in Taoist robes formed a band, led by a woman who looked exactly like Xue Wuxia, and began to sing moving songs.
Of course, this is not Qin Fan’s main focus.
The key is that the decisive battle in mid-air has already decided the outcome. After the collision of the two astonishing sword pressures, the ice arena set up by Xue Wuxia was shaken. Dugu Qiubai's body shook, and his aura began to drop rapidly. Dugu Yuyun was able to stabilize his body, but his condition was not too good either.
As for the result, Dugu Yuyun won by a small margin.
Situ Zhong and Liu Bai had already jumped out of the ice arena at this moment. After Xue Wuxia unsealed them, they supported their own members respectively and then landed back on their respective stands.
The Dao Domain also promptly provided the Zijing Yurong ointment which could quickly restore health.
This should be the work of Cao Gu, one of the Seven Sages of Shushan. He specializes in pharmacology, and the Legend of Sword and Fairy series also has a deep foundation in this area. This also gave Qin Fan the idea of having exchange students learn from each other in the future.
It is said that the first batch of disciples of Tianyi Pavilion who were deceived by Su Changqing to the Ghost Market have basically taken root in the Ghost Market now.
Except for a very small number of people who were tied to the Daxuan Dynasty because of family relations, the others helped Su Changqing to wield the big hoe, which also made Daxuan hurriedly stop the exchange student work.
"It's time to talk about the third piece of information." Qin Fan noticed that after a song ended, another Shushan disciple came out to perform a sword dance. He estimated that the succession ceremony would take some time, so he looked at Fan Wanqian again.
Kong Lin, who had just calmed down, became nervous again.
At Fan Wanqian's signal, he spoke despite the pressure brought by everyone's gaze.
"I did escape here from the Far East Demon Realm. In fact, in recent months, the interception at the Demon Locking Tower has been much looser. Perhaps it is because some Shushan disciples went deep into the Demon Realm to conduct investigations, which also caused their defense force to gradually become insufficient."
"But currently, you are the only demon who can successfully escape to Kyushu."
"Because other monster tribes were busy fighting, their original focus was on Shushan. However, starting from a year ago, many unfamiliar monsters appeared in the Far East Monster Territory, and it was inevitable that they would fight for territory.
In addition, some demon kings were curious about whether the Far East Demon Realm was connected to another world, so they also conducted a comprehensive search.
Therefore, they didn't know much about the unusual movements in the Demon Locking Tower.
Given the strength of the formation in the Demon Locking Tower, a demon with a lower strength than mine would not be able to safely pass through it. Even I had to risk my life to successfully escape from that place."
Qin Fan was silent.
He signaled Long Ming with his eyes to go and ask.
He was observing Kong Lin from all angles to see if he showed any signs of lying. Before his spiritual power was placed on the Dharmakaya world derived from himself, Qin Fan could completely use his absolute suppression of strength to distinguish which of the other party's words were true and which were false.
At the same time, he was also somewhat curious about the cultivation system of this demon clan.
You have to know that Xiangliu's realm is to pursue ferocious beasts, and the source of his strength is to constantly tap the potential of his own bloodline. However, Kong Lin, who is also a monster, takes the path of martial arts, which of course does not rule out his uniqueness.
"Why did you leave the Far East Demon Realm?"
"The collapse of the stable order, coupled with my unique foresight of danger, especially the tragic deaths of some great demons for no reason, makes me feel that if I continue to stay here, I might encounter unexpected events."
"It's not dangerous now that we're in Kyushu?"
"I have this."
Kong Lin took out the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce's unique shopkeeper's order, which was obviously not from the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"You have concealed some information." Qin Fan has lost his patience with this toothpaste-squeezing way of answering.
At this moment, he did not exude the slightest murderous intent, but Kong Lin's hand, which had just taken out the token, was shaking even more violently.
He said directly.
"I met Li Shizhou, and he told me some information about you and the ghost market. I also awakened the memory of my destiny body, so I have no idea about the Demon Lord Hun Tian..."
"Last chance." Qin Fan raised a finger.
Feng Mo on the side understood what he meant and grasped the Shen Yi Knife at his waist.
A gust of wind seemed to accidentally cut off a strand of Kong Lin's loose hair!
At this moment, Kong Lin seemed to see his grandmother waving at him!
“That bastard, Demon Lord Hun Tian, annexed my forces and wanted me to submit to him. Even though I had awakened the memory of my destiny body, I was unwilling to do so. However, since he was stronger than me, I could only bow my head temporarily. Just as he was reorganizing his forces, Li Shizhou came to my door.
He fought with the Demon Lord Hun Tian and both of them were injured, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so I took this opportunity to rescue him.
In addition, as I continued to submit to the Demon Lord Hun Tian, I could feel that I was inexplicably admiring him more and more, which made me very uneasy, so I had to leave the Far East Demon Realm as soon as possible.
And this token was one of the spoils that Li Shizhou got from smashing his space ring.
After Li Shizhou recovered, he had a deep talk with me. After knowing that I didn't want to stay in the Far East Demon Realm any longer, he asked me to return to Jiuzhou. He also told me about the weakening of the defense of the Demon Locking Tower."
"You believed him when he said the defense of the Demon Locking Tower had weakened? And you came back just like that?"
Long Ming discovered that although Kong Lin seemed honest, he was definitely hiding some information.
Qin Fan didn't need to give any more warnings this time.
Kong Lin quickly took out the Five Tribulations Demon-Repelling Awl, which was one of the three magic weapons in the original work that could revive the Demon Lord Hun Tian. Judging from its grade, it was at least at the Universe Grade. No wonder Feng Mo almost hung the knife on his neck, but he dared to continue hiding it.
"This must be the spoils of the young marquis."
"Well, it was because he gave me the Five Tribulations Demon-Repelling Cone that made me believe his words. After all, my personal value is not as great as this magic weapon."
"Then you followed Li Shizhou's instructions and successfully returned to Jiuzhou, and that's how you found Shopkeeper Fan?"
"Yeah, I really didn't hide anything else."
Qin Fan looked at Kong Lin who was pretending to be honest and stretched out two fingers.
"Two questions. First, this Demon Lord Hun Tian also appeared suddenly, right? Or is it possible that he came from the Far East Demon Realm from another world?"
"Yes, at least with his strength, it is impossible for him to have been unknown before."
"Second, Li Shizhou only asked you to contact Shopkeeper Fan, but didn't tell you anything else?"
"No."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Mo's knife was already hanging at his neck.
The bone-chilling murderous intent penetrated the blade and completely enveloped Kong Lin. Even though he was holding the Five Tribulations Demon-Repelling Cone, under the suppression of Feng Mo's momentum, this so-called magic weapon directly and cleverly absorbed all the scattered demonic energy.
He looks honest and well-behaved.
"My Lord, it is impossible for Li Shizhou to..."
"No, it is possible."
Qin Fan interrupted Feng Mo's hesitation to speak.
Logically speaking, after Li Shizhou temporarily entrusted the Shaohou Mansion to himself, if he had the opportunity to arrange for personnel to return to Jiuzhou, he would definitely send a message.
But the problem is that, on the one hand, Kong Lin is indeed not trustworthy, and on the other hand, Kong Lin has a big trouble in his hands, that is, the shopkeeper token of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
This has already involved the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce of the two worlds, and it is even more likely that the behemoth Wanjie Building will be dragged into it. Based on Li Shizhou's previous understanding of his own situation and his responsibility to his own Shaohou Mansion, he will never let himself wade into this muddy water.
Therefore, what Kong Lin said before, that Li Shizhou told him the information about the Ghost Market, was a lie!
The other party could only learn some information from Fan Wanqian, and then use the relationship with Li Shizhou to get close to me.
However, he ignored the fact that Li Shizhou only asked him to join Tongtian Chamber of Commerce in order to completely separate himself from any potential risks. In the end, he didn't care whether Kong Lin lived or died.
However, the return of such a demon clan could indirectly expose some information, which was what Li Shizhou wanted him to know.
"What do you think?" At this moment Qin Fan looked at Fan Wanqian, ignoring the pitiful look on Kong Lin's face as the knife still hung around his neck.
"Something has changed in the Far East Demon Realm. This time I came here not only to watch the ceremony, but also to negotiate with the Dao Domain. I can go in and check the situation, especially this Demon Lord Hun Tian. He has a token, which shows that he is a certified shopkeeper, but his behavior is obviously over the line."
"Where's Kong Lin?"
"He is the best guide, and I think he has a connection with the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."
"He was not honest just now."
"I will pay for his life."
Qin Fan nodded. He did not take the opportunity to ask for the Five Tribulations Demon-Repelling Awl. The cost-effectiveness of this thing was not as good as the Fang of Taowu that Xiao Wan had chewed. Moreover, weapons like the awl were too unpopular. He believed that after a glance, he could get it.
Fan Wanqian would not give a lower compensation than the Five Tribulations Demon-Repelling Cone.
It is said that all major forces nowadays are full of talented people, except for the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, which has been pretending to be low-key recently and cannot even recruit a decent thug.
Then, while digesting these three pieces of information, Qin Fan looked at the succession ceremony which had finally entered the critical stage.
