Chu Xuan said that the city protection array of East Sea City can withstand the attacks of Ninth Grade Realm strongmen.

Ye Hao and the others asked more questions.

But Chu Xuan said that his grandfather wouldn’t let him tell, which made everyone furious.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan said, “Even if it’s an Eighth Grade Realm, even if it’s a Worm Tide and Centaur attack, it can’t break the city protection array of East Sea City, right?”

“Indeed, it can’t be broken.” Lin Xiao said, “So the Nightmare Hall has a backup plan…”

Lin Xiao pointed towards the cave entrance and said, “During this period, the Nightmare Hall has set up a huge array around East Sea City, covering hundreds of miles.”

“They want to use this great array to break the city protection array of East Sea City!”

“Whether East Sea City can be saved or not depends on you!”

Chen Fan’s heart skipped a beat, and he sneered, “You really think highly of me… I’m just a small fry, what abilities do I have to save East Sea City?”

“What do you want me to do by bringing me here?”

“Speak clearly, or don’t blame me for chopping you in half with a single blow.”

Lin Xiao said, “I want you to help me break this great array of Nightmare Hall.”

“If this array is not broken, East Sea City will be flattened for sure!”

“The Array Core of this great array is deep within the Abyss of Crescent Mountain!”

Chen Fan was silent for a moment before saying, “Why should I believe you?”

Lin Xiao opened his mouth and paused for a while, then said, “Chen Fan…”

“I admit, I, Lin Xiao, am not a good person. I’ve done a lot of bad things.”

“I am a Star Martial Artist…”

“Those of my generation, such as Ye Hao and Li Qingyan, are all Guardian Beastmasters.”

“I’ve watched them being regarded as geniuses and eventually joined the Pioneer Team to become the heroes of East Sea City with endless glory… And I was overlooked by everyone!”

“People of East Sea City only know about Ye Hao, Shen Xiao, and Li Qingyan…”

“They pay no attention to me, who has been superior to them since childhood, especially after my Awakening as a Star Martial Artist.”

“It’s like I’m just a passerby…”

“Later on, I worshipped Hong Quan as my Master. He’s a Beast Raising Master, the former President of the Beast Cultivator Association’s East Sea City branch, and it means Lin Family is climbing the higher branches.”

“Originally, my only intention was to learn beast-raising diligently so that, through a different path, I could surpass Ye Hao’s group.”

“But Hong Quan gave me another hope…”

“He asked me to join Nightmare Hall.”

Chen Fan tilted his head and didn’t speak.

Lin Xiao’s lips trembled, and he said, “Nightmare Hall gave me hope…”

Chen Fan spoke indifferently, “Because Nightmare Hall can help Star Martial Artists to sign contracts with Demons?”

“You… you already know?” Lin Xiao trembled, “Yes, it’s because the Nightmare Hall can help Star Martial Artists sign contracts with Demons!”

“Which Star Martial Artist can resist such temptation?”

Chen Fan’s eyes grew cold, “So you sold both your country and your family?”

“I didn’t!” Lin Xiao’s face twisted a bit, and he said hoarsely, “I… I just… I just used the Tian Sheng Pioneer Group to help Nightmare Hall’s people enter and exit the Secret Realm.”

“The people from Nightmare Hall entered the Secret Realm to search for a passage back to the Heavenly Feather Realm.”

“This… this won’t affect our Tang Country or our East Sea City.”

Chen Fan just looked at him silently.

Lin Xiao continued, “But I never expected they would want to destroy East Sea City just to capture Chu Tiannan!”

“Chen Fan, although I am not a good person, I am not a Demon.”

“And I don’t want to become a Demon either!”

Lin Xiao spoke somewhat hysterically, “I was born and raised in East Sea City. I don’t want to destroy it!”

“And I can’t accept to be the one who destroys East Sea City with my own hands!”

“My family members are still inside East Sea City!”

“Personally?” Chen Fan’s expression shifted slightly, “So they wanted you to activate this great array?”

Lin Xiao panted, “That was the original plan. That’s why I thought I had room to maneuver.”

“But this morning, Hong Quan brought two people to Crescent Mountain.”

“Those two took my place.”

“I had no other choice but to think of you…”

Chen Fan clenched his teeth, “Then you should’ve let me bring a master with me!”

“Are you expecting my level of cultivation to come here and die?”

Lin Xiao stammered, “No… it won’t work. They have many spies stationed both inside and outside East Sea City, and they’re watching the movements of those strongmen in the city.”

“Even if there’s a slight movement by a Fifth-grade Realm, they can know it immediately.”

“That’s why I asked you to come alone. With your level of cultivation, they won’t care.”

Chen Fan: “I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Lin Xiao said, “The City Lord’s Mansion should have set their sights on Hong Quan as well.”

“When Hong Quan arrived at Crescent Mountain, he said he was followed, but the female black-armored powerhouse was seriously injured by him and kicked into the Abyss.”

“That’s why Nightmare Hall prepared to advance their plan.”

“Originally, they wanted to wait for the Eastern Demon City Martial Arts University Admission League to start and then carry out their plan.”

Chen Fan glanced at the unconscious Lin Yuanyuan and frowned, “You only took your sister out of the main city?”

Lin Xiao’s face suddenly turned pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips trembled, “My… my parents are in Hong Quan’s hands.”

“Now, I don’t know where they are.”

As he said that, tears rolled down Lin Xiao’s eyes, “And my people, the Lin Family… Hong Quan told me that they were all abandoned and left to fend for themselves.”
