Chapter 1248: Expansion

Proofreader: Papatonks

Excited to cultivate, Zhao Chen called for a few people on Devil Mountain to enter his chambers, only for them to scream in horrible agony as they died.

Zhuo Fan sneered from the outside, leaving for his own matters. Once he got out of the hall, the whole of Devil Mountain kneeled with utter respect, Greetings, Steward Zhuo, endless fortunes and everlasting life!

In just a few minutes, Devil Mountain knew Zhuo Fan had become the Demonic Emperors representative, promoted from the head of the twelve demon guards into the crown prince.

Everyone conformed with this change, showering with flatteries.

Zhuo Fan beamed.

[One moment was all it took to lose everything, but I spent a century to gain it all back, ha-ha-ha]

Zhuo Fan shook his head, flicking his hand, Every town and city within the Demonic Emperors domain is to be ready for battle. In three months, we will go to war!N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Yes, sir!

The huge crowd roared.

After Zhuo Fan took power, all the cities under the Demonic Emperor had a change in management. The Luo clans high officials were sent to rule them. With their many experts, the Luo clan gained swift control of every inch of Zhao Chens lands, with the latter none the wiser.

The Demonic Emperor had many city lords in the early to late Emperor Stage, but the Luo clan had scores of them, with a dozen even possessing obscene strength for their level.

A bit of flexing and smashing was all they needed to establish their rule.

Three months, that was how long Zhuo Fan took to usurp all power in the Demonic Emperors domain. Zhao Chen would have a hard time getting everything back.

Zhuo Fans plan to take over Zhao Chens forces from the inside was achieved.

Zhao Chen would surely shed tears if he knew. Alas, ignorance is bliss, oblivious to the Luo clans true power.

Otherwise he would never have given so much power to Zhuo Fan.

Steward Zhuo, weve taken everything from Zhao Chen and can remove him. No one will raise a fuss!

Li Jingtian bowed to Zhuo Fan in a hall, reporting the last three months activities. Zhuo Fans eyes shone, smiling, Not yet, he still has uses. Did you send him cultivation resources?

I have, but he demands more and more from you!

So eager for quick gains, to drain them, humph!

Zhuo Fan muttered, Its almost time. March on the Wraith Emperor and the Falcon Emperors unmanned lands. We will challenge them this time and destroy them!

[Even if youre great at everything else, ha-ha-ha]

Before a room on Devil Mountain, Zhuo Fan bowed, Demonic Emperor, Ive brought what you requested!

Rumble~

The stone door cracked open after a series of heavy sounds, then Zhuo Fan stepped in. He grinned at the familiar room as the door closed behind him.

A man wrapped in thick black energy sat in center, with a fervent gaze, that of a demented person.

After three months of cultivating, his aura took a darker and foul air, giving him a sinister vibe, like that of an abomination on the prowl for man flesh.

[He should be close to going mad at this rate.]

Zhuo Fan bowed, Demonic Emperor sir!

Zip it and give me the ingredients. Where are they? Zhao Chen barked, exposing an excited grin, like that of a beast.

In a flash of azure, hundreds of people appeared, unconscious.

Zhao Chen said, So little? Thats only 532, where are the rest? Did you use them?

You jest, sir, I can only take one a day at most.

Why then

Sir, so many people missing is bound to raise suspicions, especially when sir requires high quality materials. Zhuo Fan smiled, Now that were at war with the Falcon Emperor and Wraith Emperor, it will work as a good cover for any missing people. Im slaughtering every city I come across, sending everyone there for sirs cultivation.

Zhao Chen nodded, Good, very good Eh, were at war?

Why yes, so that we get even more ingredients. War is the best way to fool everyone. Please dont blame me for going ahead with this. Zhuo Fan snickered.

Zhao Chen squinted, nodding after a pause, Its fine. Nothing matters so long as you supply me with ingredients.

Zhao Chen activated his cultivation method and a dreadful black energy spilled over the people. It wrapped around them before returning over to him, leaving the people to crumble to dust.

Zhuo Fan smiled as he left.

[Idiot, didnt you always want Nine Serenities Secret Records? Now youre training in its core teaching, Demon Transformation Art. Though I did leave one part out.]

[Renounce your old art before training this one.]

[The previous cultivation method would conflict with Demon Transformation Art and youll be unable to grasp its essence, that all paths have the same destination. Youre too rash in cultivating, taking so many lives and others cultivation without even considering if theres a limit.]

[Its only a matter of time before you suffer for your greed. Thats why I didnt impart it to you back then. Now though, ha-ha, have your fill]
