In the sky, a brilliant golden light approached from afar, eventually transforming into a figure appearing opposite Wei Fan.

The newcomer was clad in a python robe, with a four-colored halo interwoven with the golden light behind him, clearly marking him as someone from the Imperial Family.

Wei Fan glanced over, and the panel didn’t react: "You’re fast. You caught up with me this quickly."

"I am Song Bangguo, a Martial Venerable of the Chu Kingdom Royal Family. No matter where you Demon Hunters hail from, hand over Ning Xiaoye, or you won’t leave the Chu Kingdom alive!"

Song Bangguo glanced at Xiaoye below, not hastening to strike.

According to the information he received, both opponents were Martial Venerable powerhouses; their cultivation level was unknown, but if he could get them to hand over the person willingly, he preferred not to fight.

After all, these two had another identity: Demon Hunter Patrol Envoys.

Those who serve as Demon Hunter Patrol Envoys aren’t simple folks; without a four-color level Golden Body, the Demon Hunter Sub-Hall wouldn’t even glance at you.

Wei Fan’s expression was indifferent, his eyelid slightly lifted: "Are you sure you have the capability to stop us from leaving the Chu Kingdom?"

His emotionless expression made Song Bangguo uncertain for a moment, as he didn’t know the opponents. Yet, with his cultivation at the Four-Colored Golden Body Eighth Forging, plus being a Martial Venerable of the Chu Kingdom Royal Family, he was well-known in the neighboring countries.

The person in front should recognize him; if they aren’t concerned about him, maybe they’re truly experts unknown to him?

As he pondered, Song Bangguo spoke heavily: "Dare you belittle the Chu Kingdom Song Family? Even if the Song Family can’t deal with you, there’s the Demon Hunter Organization. You’re aware that the Ning Family colluded with Demon Fiends and fell into the Demon Dao, yet you’ve taken Ning Family members.

If we report this to the Demon Hunter Sub-Hall, you better consider the consequences!"

"Then go ahead and report." Wei Fan’s expression remained unchanged. They took Xiaoye without breaking Demon Hunter rules.

Colluding with Demon Fiends to annihilate families is a rule of the Demon Suppression Bureau, not Demon Hunter protocols.

"Besides, I have something to report to the Demon Hunter Organization myself. A thousand years ago, the Chu Kingdom Royal Family colluded with Demon Fiends, leading to the death of the Ning Family ancestor. I think the Demon Hunter Organization should investigate this matter!"

As soon as he said this, Song Bangguo’s expression changed slightly. He wasn’t involved in that incident—he hadn’t been born yet.

However, now as a Martial Venerable powerhouse of the Chu Kingdom Royal Family, he’s aware of some of the past’s secrets. Although surprised, he didn’t panic.

The parties implicated have all died. Even if the Demon Hunter Sub-Hall investigates, they can’t possibly pursue a group of deceased people.

"Let’s get to the point. If I’m not mistaken, you’re also after the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique. Hand over the technique, and the Chu Kingdom Royal Family will let you leave!"

Song Bangguo simply dropped the pretense.

How could a dignified Demon Hunter Patrol Envoy find the Ning Family by chance and discover their fall into the Demon Dao? It’s almost certain they’re just like the Royal Family, coveting the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique.

Being fellow practitioners, there’s no need to hide anything. Besides, there are no outsiders here. Admitting the Chu royal family wants to seize the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique from the Ning Family is of no consequence.

Wei Fan shook his head, sneering: "Really think everyone is like you Chu Kingdom Royal Family, betraying animals? How many achievements did the Ning Family bring to the Chu Kingdom, how many Demon Fiends were slain for the Human Race, and you’re coveting their things?"

Upon hearing this, Song Bangguo’s expression completely darkened. Whether the opponent feigns righteousness or truly isn’t after the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique, it seemed they’d have to fight to seize it today.

"Let’s see real skills then. Chu Kingdom Song Family, Song Bangguo accepts the challenge!"

Song Bangguo produced a saber emitting the aura of a middle-level Martial Venerate Divine Soldier, unleashing astounding waves.

The next moment, his body turned into a shadow, the blade aimed at Wei Fan’s chest.

"Even a Four-Colored Golden Body Eighth Forging dares to claim you’ll teach me a lesson? The Nether Crow Demon Venerable I slew earlier wasn’t as arrogant as you..."

Wei Fan’s voice was flat, causing Song Jianping to involuntarily contract his pupils.

The calm man suddenly emitted piercing golden light, weaving a faint seven-colored halo behind him.

"Seven-Colored Golden Body? You’re Wei Fan!"

Song Bangguo was utterly shocked, instantly recognizing Wei Fan’s identity.

Most people weren’t aware that Wei Fan had reached the Great Victory Dynasty’s Capital City and slain their Emperor, Qin Hao, but the Chu royal family’s intelligence network had sent a detailed account back to Chu long ago.

Wei Fan single-handedly threatened the Great Victory Dynasty’s Imperial Family, eventually leaving unscathed. Seven or eight Martial Venerables from the Great Victory Dynasty had no choice but to swallow their pride, and now he had challenged such a fearsome person.

And if he wasn’t mistaken, Wei Fan had said he’d already slain the Nether Crow Demon Venerable.

He didn’t know the Second Patriarch’s cultivation at the Great Victory Dynasty, but was aware of the terror of the Nether Crow Demon Venerable.

Four-Colored Golden Body Ninth Forging, wielding a high-level Martial Venerate Divine Soldier, able to kill.

But even such an old fiend was slain by Wei Fan!

"This is bad!"

Song Bangguo realized this, but it was already too late. His speed was too fast, and the divine weapon was about to cut Wei Fan.

The formidable saber forced Wei Fan’s hair to dance chaotically, but at the moment it was to strike Wei Fan, he seized it effortlessly, unmoved.

Song Bangguo was horrified: "Barehanded interception of a Martial Venerate Divine Soldier?"

What kind of Demon Fiend is this? How heaven-defying is a Seven-Colored Golden Body? Even at the Sixth Forging, the physical body is unscathed by a middle-level Martial Venerate Divine Soldier.

"Is this thing what you dare use to attack me?"

Wei Fan wore a mocking smile.

The next moment, his five fingers clenched firmly.
