Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1534 - Fairy Crimson Lightning

In the past, if someone had told Gongsun Jing and his companions that they’d spend a thousand immortal stones just for a private chamber, the sting would have lingered for quite some time.

However, after destroying the Deng Clan and seizing their centuries' worth of wealth, they gained 300-400 thousand in immortal stones alone, not even counting the rest of the Deng Clan’s assets.

Naturally, Gongsun Jing set aside half that amount and handed it straight to Chen Fan. After all, without him, they couldn’t have destroyed the Deng Clan; instead, they would have faced annihilation.

Chen Fan didn’t refuse the offer either, as his consumption of immortal stones was tremendous. For example, he had expended pretty much all of the immortal stones he had obtained within the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm to become an Immortal.

Afterward, he obtained a little over 200 thousand immortal stones from Cao Zhengyang. Yet even before they could warm in his hands, Xuan Gan launched a relentless pursuit. Fleeing for his life, Chen Fan set his immortal stones ablaze, quite literally, and soon found himself emptied out again. Eventually, victory came by snatching Xuan Gan’s storage ring and, with it, another 200 thousand stones to bolster his drained reserves.

At present, he had a total of 400 thousand immortal stones. It sounded impressive—a sum rivaling immortal clans with millennia of heritage, yet for someone like Chen Fan, whose resources vanished into a black hole, it was still far from enough.

If he ran into trouble in the Chaotic Demon Sea, he would need a lot of immortal stones to use his life-saving trump cards like the Vicious Suppressor and the Wheel of Myriad Laws. Without sufficient immortal stones, he simply didn’t have enough law power to activate them.

Thus, even with a lot of immortal stones on hand, Chen Fan felt the familiar pressure; he needed more. Much more.

Guided by the female attendant, Chen Fan’s group made their way to a private chamber on the second floor.

They heard waves of gasps ringing out behind them.

“Look, even the Crimson Lightning Sect’s Fairy Crimson Lightning has come.”

In the midst of the hubbub, a stunning figure cut through. She was tall, beautifully proportioned, her sharp purple attire hugging every curve, drawing countless eyes in open admiration. Unlike the innocent exuberance of Gongsun Ling’er, Fairy Crimson Lightning radiated effortless allure; her every motion oozed seduction, driving onlookers to the brink of infatuation.

Gongsun Ling’er saw Chen Fan glance at Fairy Crimson Lightning and snorted coldly, “Tch, it’s obvious at a glance that she’s no good.”

Gongsun Jing’s expression immediately changed.

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Alas, Fairy Crimson Lightning heard Gongsun Ling’er’s comment. She immediately turned and approached them. She said with a smile, “Heh, little girl, you’re the first to dare talk about me like that. I’ll remember you. Such delicate skin and soft flesh... How enchanting! Yes, I like it.”

However, her gaze was like a venomous scorpion’s, sending Gongsun Ling’er scrambling in terror to hide behind Gongsun Jing.

Gongsun Jing’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly said, “Please, Fairy Crimson Lightning, show some magnanimity. My daughter spoke thoughtlessly and offended you. I apologize on her behalf, and I’m willing to compensate you.”

“Kekeke, if apologies and compensation were enough, who’d need fists?”

Fairy Crimson Lightning’s words caused Gongsun Jing’s expression to turn pale.

Fairy Crimson Lightning ignored his expression and looked at Chen Fan. She smiled coquettishly and said, “Tsk tsk, what a handsome man. Mmm, I like you too.”

She licked her lips, grinning. Chen Fan, for his part, remained stoic. Eyeing her coolly, he replied, “But I’m afraid I have no interest in a hag like you.”

Her expression immediately changed. A frigid killing intent radiated outward, even as her two attendants bristled with hostility.

The crushing immortal might inside the chamber left Gongsun Jing and his companions pale as death.

Chen Fan remained indifferent and said, “Where are we? The Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce.”

Fairy Crimson Lightning withdrew her chilling intent. She glared at Chen Fan and said, “Very well, I’ll remember you. Hope you can walk out of Chaotic Demon City alive!”

With that, she walked past Chen Fan and the others, accompanied by her two attendants.

She couldn’t lay a finger on Chen Fan and the others within the Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce, but it was a different story outside of its premises.

“Wow, those people are bold! Offending Fairy Crimson Lightning? There’s no chance they’ll walk out of Chaotic Demon City alive.”

“Indeed. If not for the chamber’s protection, Fairy Crimson Lightning wouldn’t even need to lift a finger; I’d tear them apart myself. Who are these fools to insult my goddess?”

Glowering stares from the surrounding crowd made it clear: Chen Fan and the others in his party looked like walking corpses.

“We’re finished! We’re finished!”

Ma Xinglong and the others’ faces turned green. While Chen Fan and Gongsun Ling’er might not know Fairy Crimson Lightning, they were well aware of her.

She was the beloved daughter of the Crimson Lightning Sect’s sect leader. The sect itself ruled Crimson Lightning Island, perched right next to the Chaotic Demon Sea. Its leader was a fearsome expert in the high-level Immortal Platform realm, able to snuff them out with a flick of his finger.

Offend Fairy Crimson Lightning, and you might as well offend the Crimson Lightning Sect itself: a one-way ticket to disaster.

It was said that a descendant of an Immortal clan teased Fairy Crimson Lightning because he coveted her beauty. Ultimately, she ripped this silkpants’ mouth apart right in front of countless people and smashed his family jewels with a kick.

As for his clan, they didn’t dare seek revenge: the patriarch marched up to Crimson Lightning Island with lavish gifts and executed the offending youth on the spot, begging for the Sect’s forgiveness.

Now, Gongsun Ling’er had insulted Fairy Crimson Lightning with a careless remark, followed closely by Chen Fan’s biting retort. They’d crossed a line with no turning back.

So, while panic gripped Gongsun Jing and the others, Chen Fan’s expression was as usual. Even Gongsun Ling’er’s face was drained of color, her eyes wide with regret.

“Hey, isn’t it just offending Fairy Crimson Lightning? What’s the big deal?” Chen Fan said.

Ma Xinglong stammered, his face crumpled in grief, “Fairy Crimson Lightning is the cherished daughter of the Crimson Lightning Sect’s sect leader. The Crimson Lightning Sect is also a major force in this region, with high-level Immortal Platform realm experts overseeing it...”

Now, Chen Fan finally understood the situation.

High-level Immortal Platform realm. Indeed, they were powerful. Chen Fan was far from being a match for them. If he activated the Nine Immortals Bell, however, he could handle them.

“Since things have already come to this point, there’s no use dwelling on it. Let’s head to the private chamber first. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Maybe she will just forget about us.”

“Do you even believe that?” someone muttered.

“What’s done is done. It’s too late for regrets. We’re better off thinking of a way to win the bids on some good stuff to raise our strength.”

The group arrived at their private chamber. Other than Chen Fan, everyone’s heads hung low. Their earlier enthusiasm was nowhere to be seen.
