Chapter 699 - Where is Chen Fan?

When Chen Fan killed the asura, his score skyrocketed.

About an incense’s worth of time later, it rushed to first place on the solo board. Peerless Peak's ranking also skyrocketed from below one hundred to the top thirty in an instant.

This sudden shift left countless experts on the Demon Realm Platform stunned.

They watched the names flicker on the crystal scoreboard, some vanishing completely—a clear sign that those experts had fallen. The Little Demon Realm wasn’t a paradise, but a deadly battlefield where death was inevitable.

“Look, that’s Chen Fan. My god, his score’s rising so quickly. It’s jumping non-stop, and he’s already hit first place on the solo board!”

More people noticed the spike in Chen Fan’s ranking.

“What’s going on? How did his points suddenly skyrocket? Did he kill several Heavenly Star realm demon experts?”

“This is absolutely impossible! Sure, he’s a genius, but taking on multiple Heavenly Star realm demons? That’s suicide—he’d be the one dead!”

“Then what’s going on here?”

“I know! So many names disappeared just now. He must’ve slaughtered them. He didn’t target demons—he went after his fellow disciples instead. He’s a demon spy, no doubt about it!” Xiao Qianhe from the Law Enforcement Hall immediately cast a vicious, underhanded accusation.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the faces of many disciples from different halls darkened. It seemed plausible to them—how else could Chen Fan’s score rise so fast?

“Di Chen, what do you guys say? Instead of hunting the demon race, Chen Fan attacked his fellow disciples. He’s simply a demon reincarnate, the scum of our True Martial Academy. We must kill him across space right now and remove this tumor!”

The Law Enforcement Hall’s people tried to make things difficult for Di Chen.

“Cut your bullshit, Xiao Qianhe! Even if my junior brother did kill those weaklings, they deserved it. They were just a bunch of trash, wasting space while they lived." Di Chen’s voice was domineering, filled with contempt.

His words immediately provoked outrage from the other halls, and they all began to rebuke him.

Unfazed, Di Chen sneered, “Shut up, all of you! Do you think I don’t know what you’re plotting? You hate to see our Peerless Peak’s monstrous genius doing well, and you sent people into the realm to take down my junior brother. Fine by me—if they can kill Chen Fan, that’s their strength. But if they fail, then your people are nothing but losers. True Martial Academy doesn’t need to waste resources on weaklings."

The crowd seethed in anger, but Di Chen simply smiled coldly, unwilling to argue further.

They were all very happy to see Chen Fan soaring to first place on the crystal scoreboard. Peerless Peak itself had surged into the top thirty.

This was what being a disciple of Peerless Peak meant.

In the Little Demon Realm, many experts also noticed the changes on the scoreboard. Seeing Chen Fan’s meteoric rise to the top, they were all stunned.

In a mountain range, the First Dragon Lord had just slain several half-step Heavenly Star realm demons and was holding a bloody head in his hand. He roared furiously, “Damn it, what on earth is going on? How did that little bastard Chen Fan’s score shoot past mine?"

Next to him were many disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall.

The First Dragon Lord did not enter any of the nine major peaks. Instead, he directly entered the Law Enforcement Hall.

The Law Enforcement Hall was strong enough that they could be considered the tenth peak.

Many rookie disciples wanted to join the Law Enforcement Hall, but they were very strict in their recruitment, second only to the Peerless Peak.

He was now a Heavenly Star realm expert. Earlier, he was ranked within the top ten, but Chen Fan had surpassed him, claiming first place.

This turn of events nearly made the First Dragon Lord, who held a deep grudge against Chen Fan, spit blood in frustration.

He “stared” fixedly at Chen Fan’s name in his mind, wishing he could swallow him whole.

“Has no one found Chen Fan’s whereabouts yet?” asked the First Dragon Lord coldly, glaring at the Law Enforcement Hall disciples around him.

A blond man with a very high nose, a half-step Heavenly Star realm expert, said, “Not yet. That brat is moving alone. He’s like a fish in the sea, so finding him is proving to be very difficult.”

“All the brothers of the Law Enforcement Hall have spread out. They’ll immediately notify us once they discover his tracks. We’re also in contact with the other peaks, but no one has found Chen Fan’s tracks so far.”

The First Dragon Lord took a moment to calm himself and said, “Tell them to locate him as soon as possible. It will become even harder to kill Chen Fan if he finds some opportunity and raises his cultivation level.”

Though short-tempered by nature, he became increasingly composed when handling significant matters.

In addition to the First Dragon Lord, other prides of heaven like the First Fiend and Qin Wang were also searching everywhere for Chen Fan. Their search for him had only intensified after seeing his new ranking. Rage had gotten into everyone’s heads.

These people ordered all disciples participating in the Demon Hunting Competition to search for Chen Fan. If they found Chen Fan and reported his location, they would receive ample rewards after the competition.

As a result, many began searching for Chen Fan’s whereabouts while hunting the demon race.

Although they did not have any deep grudge against Chen Fan, who would refuse a chance for benefits?

They only needed to provide information. As long as Chen Fan remained unaware, they faced no danger. It was a task with significant rewards and minimal risk.

For some time, the entire Little Demon Realm was in turmoil.

Countless individuals were on the hunt for Chen Fan, casting a vast net that left even the smallest fish nowhere to hide.

Chen Fan remained completely oblivious to this turmoil.

After killing the asura, his score soared wildly, and an exhilarated expression spread across his face.

He let out a thunderous roar that echoed across the fifty thousand kilometers of land, killing everything in his path.

He killed Half-step Heavenly Star realm demons and even a Heavenly Star realm asura. The remaining useless troops weren’t a match for him at all. The lands were washed with a river of blood.

“Excellent, the energies of about a dozen half-step Heavenly Star realm demons and an asura are enough for me to break through to the ninth-level Divine Nascent realm!”

Without hesitation, Chen Fan blasted a large hole in the mountain range and dove inside, entering seclusion to advance to the next level.

He could already kill a recently advanced Heavenly Star realm expert. Once his cultivation level advanced, he would only become stronger. Then, he wouldn’t even be afraid to fight the First Dragon Lord or the other top geniuses in the Heavenly Star realm.

Although the asura was powerful, he was still much inferior when compared to geniuses like the First Dragon Lord.

Chen Fan could kill the asura, but he might not be a match for the First Dragon Lord and the others. Thus, he had to raise his cultivation further.
