Chapter 343: The Desire to Survive

Chapter 343: Survival Instincts Maxed Out

“The Blood Demon Clan does not belong to our world; they come from the other side of the world,” Xu Chengdao explained.

Lin Fan and Qing Yang Heavenly God were surprised. Not long ago, they had dreamt of the Immortal Ancient Era and witnessed some major events.

Because of this, they knew how formidable the beings from that world were, far more terrifying than described in legends. The previous epoch was destroyed by them.

They just hadn't expected that in this epoch, there would still be foreign beings left in their world. If allowed to develop unchecked, this would be extremely unfavorable.

“According to the elders in our Family, they stirred up boundless bloody rain in the Immortal Ancient Era and are an extremely difficult race to deal with. They survive by consuming the essence Blood of all living beings, and their reproductive capacity is extremely strong…” Lan Xin explained.

Evidently, the Chang Sheng Family knew many secrets, truly living up to their name as a clan that has existed since the Immortal Ancient Era.

Then, they even revealed a piece of news: in the late Immortal Ancient Era, a powerful figure from their world had killed the Blood Demon Clan Old Ancestor here.

“It seems there are remnants left behind that weren't completely wiped out,” Lin Fan murmured.

In fact, such things were not uncommon in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. For example, Void Realm Beasts were descendants from another world.

However, most of them had been assimilated by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, their Bloodline no longer as pure, or it could be said they were new species of their world.

“By the way, didn't experts above the Heavenly God Realm from the Chang Sheng Family arrive? How are you two still being hunted?”

Lin Fan was curious; it was hard not to overthink it.

“When the underground palace first opened, immortal bones appeared, and our elders all went to contend for them. We were a step slow and followed behind. As a result, when we arrived here, we all got lost in the mist and couldn't get out.”

Lin Fan pondered, so that was how it was. No wonder Feng Xinglie encountered a life-or-death crisis, and no expert appeared to rescue him.

Immediately, understanding all this, he began to size up the two, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

“Emperor Brother… why are you looking at us like that?” Xu Chengdao and Lan Xin felt a bit unnerved by his gaze, trembling all over.

“I never save people for free. What are you prepared to offer as repayment…” Lin Fan’s eyes gleamed, full of cunning.

One should know that these two, in order to survive, one was prepared to sell his sister, and the other her sister, and they shouted it with such seriousness.

Xu Chengdao and Lan Xin were dumbfounded. Was he that direct?

However, they also breathed a sigh of relief that Lin Fan did not mention marrying off their sisters.

After all, those were words they spoke in desperation; it was impossible for them to truly have the ability to do so, nor did they have the right to decide, otherwise, they would be beaten to death upon returning.

“Emperor Brother, what kind of thank-you gift would you like? You can just say it.”

“That’s right. Since you saved us, we are not ungrateful people. We will definitely satisfy you.”

Both guaranteed it. Hailing from ancient Chang Sheng Families, they were always wealthy and confident, lacking nothing in terms of Supreme Art or resources.

“Is that so? That’s good.” Lin Fan smiled strangely, saying, “I reckon your lives are worth about seven or eight divine medicines.”

“What? Seven or eight divine medicines? Do you think these are cabbages? Even if you sold us, we wouldn't be worth that much!”

Xu Chengdao and Lan Xin were shocked; the other party truly was making an exorbitant demand.

One must know that even divine medicines were not abundant in the major Chang Sheng Families; they were extremely rare and precious items.

Whether it was the Chang Sheng Xu Family or the Chang Sheng Lan Family, to hand over seven or eight divine medicines at once would be like asking for their lives.

Therefore, even if they held significant positions in their respective clans, it was impossible for them to produce so many plants as an exchange or repayment for the sake of their juniors.

“Emperor Brother, please change your demand. We are truly not worth seven or eight divine medicines,” the Xu Family Young Master said earnestly.

“Supreme Art or scriptures are also acceptable, but they must not be inferior to Immortal Arts,” Lin Fan said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengdao and Lan Xin were completely petrified.

Immortal Arts were the ancestral forbidden secret techniques of the major Chang Sheng Families, and one of the important reasons for their strength and transcendence. They could not be leaked.

If anyone dared to pass them on to outsiders, they would absolutely become a sinner of their clan and be hunted down by the entire clan.

“Heh… Dao Brother, please change your condition again. Immortal Arts are not for those who are not our clan members. Changing it to a Supreme Art would also work,” Lan Xin said.

Lin Fan’s expression slightly changed, displeased, “This won’t do, that won’t do. It seems your lives aren’t worth much…”

“Zzzzz!”

The next moment, a sound like fingernails scraping echoed from the Human Emperor Banner, like demonic music, immediately startling the two.

“Ugh, why do I feel like I just escaped the wolf’s den only to enter the tiger’s lair? This one doesn’t look like a good person either,” Lan Xin transmitted, feeling uneasy in her heart.

Xu Chengdao’s eyelids twitched, his heart also panicking. When he looked at that banner, his eyes became dazed, and he almost lost consciousness.

In a trance, the two saw mountains of corpses and seas of Blood, endless Gods wailing and Demons roaring, sending shivers down their spines.

“Why do I feel like I’ve seen that long banner somewhere before?” Xu Chengdao mumbled.

“What time is it, and you still have time to care about that!” Lan Xin was displeased.

The next moment, Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and chuckled sinisterly, “Hehehe, have you two thought it over? Are you going to exchange things for your lives, or should I send you to feed the Blood Demons…”

“Ah… no! Let’s talk this over! How about I give you my sister Lan Xian to be your wife?”

“Brother-in-law!”

Lan Xin’s eyes sparkled like stars, teary-eyed and pitiful, like a little sister from next door.

For a moment, Lin Fan actually felt a sense of shame, feeling like he was bullying a child.

After all, among the few, she was the youngest, looking around sixteen or seventeen, delicate and charming.

“Be serious. You’re a Heavenly God, why are you pretending to be young here?” Lin Fan was unmoved.

“Not at all. I’m actually only in the Divine Fire Realm. It’s because of the armor on my body that my Realm has crossed two major levels,” Lan Xin explained.

With a whoosh, she took off her azure armor. The Heavenly God aura disappeared, and her Realm instantly dropped to the Divine Fire Realm.

“There’s such a treasure armor?!” Lin Fan was surprised, his gaze burning, immediately fixing on that treasure.

He wondered if, were he to wear it, his strength wouldn't be comparable to the Void Realm, allowing him to contend with Master Level experts?

Lan Xin缩了缩脖子, tightly hugging her armor, like a mother hen protecting her chick, saying, “It’s useless to you. At most, it can only raise a person’s Realm to Heavenly God.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan lost interest. He was currently in the Saint Offering Domain, so even if he wore it, it wouldn't improve him much.

So, he turned his head to Xu Chengdao, “Brother Xu, what are you prepared to offer in return for saving your life?”

“Brother-in-law, I’m like her. I’ll introduce my most beautiful younger sister, Yaoyue, to be your Dao Companion.”

Xu Chengdao immediately expressed his stance, decisively choosing to sell his sister at the critical moment of life and death, without even a hint of hesitation.

Princess Yaoyue: Thank you, my dear elder brother!

However, Lin Fan didn’t fall for this trick and scolded, “Do you take me for a fool? You’re not the head of a clan, how can you decide your sister’s life events!”

“An elder brother is like a father!”

“A younger sister is like a mother!”

Xu Chengdao and Lan Xin said in unison.

Lin Fan: “…”

At this moment, he was truly speechless. “An elder brother is like a father” made sense, but what in the world was “a younger sister is like a mother”?

“Pfft!”

Beside them, Qing Yang Heavenly God couldn’t help but laugh out loud. These two clowns were truly hilarious, with their survival instincts maxed out.

However, Lin Fan had no intention of letting them off so easily. He smiled wickedly and said, “Words mean nothing. Let’s make a written agreement.”
