Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

This region belongs to the Heavenly Demon Mink Clan, one of the four great overlord clans.

Here, they are the undisputed true overlords, and every race in this region holds an extremely strong sense of awe for this behemoth.

When Lin Fan and his two companions arrived in the Heavenly Demon Domain, it was already two days later. Upon arrival, the three of them immediately headed towards the Heavenly Demon Mountains, the deepest part of the Heavenly Demon Domain.

Deep within the Heavenly Demon Realm lies an endless expanse of ten thousand mountains. These mountains are towering thousands of feet high, steep and treacherous, with extremely fierce gales forming in the sky. Even a powerful expert at the Death Profound Realm would find it difficult to fly here for long.

Upon arriving at the Heavenly Demon Mountains, Wu Chong let out a howl, summoning a massive blood eagle to serve as his mount.

The three of them then crossed the towering mountains, and half an hour later, ancient palaces stretched out above those mountains. At the same time, powerful and domineering auras also appeared in Lin Fan's perception.

Above these mountains, flocks of ferocious-looking giant birds occasionally fly by. These monsters also possess powerful auras, forming a natural defense here.

During this period, the Heavenly Demon Mink Clan seemed to have become exceptionally heavily guarded. Even though Lin Fan and Lin Dong were led by Wu Zhong, they were still carefully checked before being allowed to enter.

"These guys are getting more and more clueless. They even dare to interrogate the people that A Diao hired!" Wu Chong said indignantly as he watched the scene.

"There's no need to get angry about this. Let's go find Little Mink first," Lin Fan said calmly with a slight smile.

Wu nodded and continued to lead the way into the interior of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan.

The three headed straight into the depths of the mountains. A dozen minutes later, Wu Chong descended from a majestic mountain peak, and Lin Fan and the other two followed suit.

Just as they landed, Wu Zhong's figure stiffened for a moment, and then they saw several figures approaching them from the front.

At the very front of those figures was a man dressed in gray and black clothes.

He appeared to be quite young, with a handsome face, though somewhat effeminate. His slightly thin lips, when pursed, seemed to have an unsettling smile emanating from the corners.

"Hehe, Brother Wu Chong, are you out on business?" The man walked up and smiled warmly at Wu Chong, his smile sincere.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chong chuckled dryly and nodded: "Bringing two friends to visit the clan shouldn't be a problem, right, Young Clan Chief Hao Jiuyou?"

Within the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan, anyone who is a candidate for clan leader can be called the Young Clan Leader.

"These two friends must be A Diao's friends, Lin Fan and Lin Dong, right?" Hao Jiuyou shifted his gaze to Lin Fan and Lin Dong and smiled.

Lin Fan nodded in acknowledgment but did not say anything more.

Lin Dong politely cupped his hands in greeting to Hao Jiuyou.

"Hehe, guests are always welcome. Please feel free to explore the clan. If you need anything, just come and find me," Hao Jiuyou said amicably, looking Lin Fan and his brother up and down.

"Thank you very much then," Lin Fan said with a faint smile.

"Young Clan Leader Jiuyou, we have other matters to attend to, so we will take our leave first."

Wu Chong clearly didn't want to have a deep conversation with Hao Jiuyou. After saying a few words, he led Lin Fan and Lin Dong past Hao Jiuyou and his group, and then quickly disappeared into the distance.

"That person just now must be Little Mink's biggest rival, right?" As he walked away, Lin Dong glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and then said softly.

"Hmm," Wu nodded, his expression slightly gloomy. As a member of the Heavenly Demon Mink Clan, he knew better than anyone how ruthless that guy was.

"Hmph, if it weren't for A Diao being ambushed and disappearing for a hundred years, how could he possibly compete with A Diao? Back when A Diao was around, that guy was as obedient as can be in front of him," Wu Chong sneered.

As they spoke, Wu Chong led Lin Fan and Lin Dong to a secluded courtyard, where a familiar figure could be vaguely seen deep within.

The three entered the courtyard, and then they saw a tall, slender figure sitting cross-legged in the stone pavilion. The pavilion was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, making it quite peaceful.

As the three approached, the figure opened his tightly closed eyes, looked at Lin Fan and Lin Dong, and said with a helpless expression on his handsome face, "I didn't expect to have to call you here."

"Who told us to be brothers?" Lin Dong smiled and said.

Lin Fan said jokingly, "Since my little brother has been bullied, it's only natural that we older brothers would stand up for him."

Little Marten rolled her eyes upon hearing this, but did not refute what the two said.

After they finished catching up, Xiao Diao waved his sleeve, and a circle of light enveloped the stone pavilion. Then, his slightly deep voice slowly drifted out:

“I need someone to help me go to the Heavenly Cave where my father is in seclusion. He has been in seclusion for a hundred years, and no news has come out during this time. Even if we send him a message, he will not respond. So... I suspect that he may have encountered trouble in the Heavenly Cave, or rather... he is trapped.”

"what?"

As soon as Xiao Diao finished speaking, Wu Zhong, who was standing to the side, suddenly stood up, his face full of shock, clearly frightened by Xiao Diao's deduction.

Lin Dong frowned slightly. As the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Mink Clan, Little Mink's father must be incredibly powerful. Is it possible to keep him trapped for a hundred years without disturbing the other members of the clan?

Lin Fan wasn't surprised by this. "Did you discover something?"

"The lifeblood feather that my father left me has gradually changed its appearance not long ago," Little Marten said, stretching out his slender hand, in which was a blood-red feather.

However, this once magnificent feather has now become extremely dull, and the vitality that once swirled around it is also weakening.

The little sable brushed its fingertips across the blood-red feather in its hand, and then a surge of blood-red light appeared on it, forming two extremely obscure characters: "Demon Prison".

"Demon Prison? What is that?"

Wu Zhong looked at the font and seemed a little confused, clearly having never heard of it before.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged a glance, a look of understanding flashing in their eyes, their expressions subtly changing.

"Do you know what this is?" Little Mink asked, somewhat surprised, looking at Lin Fan and the other person's expressions.

"A mysterious organization formed by the alien demons, it is probably the most terrifying force in the world..." Lin Dong sighed and then gave a general account of what they had experienced in the Flame God Temple.

"I could guess that this might be related to the Otherworldly Demons, but I never expected... it would be an organization."

The little sable muttered to himself, then his eyes turned sinister, "These damned things have actually invaded our Heavenly Demon Sable clan without us even realizing it!"

Lin Fan said calmly, "To accomplish something like this, it's probably not just the Demon Prison Organization, but also your Heavenly Demon Mink Clan as inside agents."

"Which bastard is it?" Wu Chong's eyes were ferocious, and a strong killing intent emanated from his body, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.

The little sable smiled, but that smile was tinged with a sinister intent: "Who else could it be?"

"Hao Jiuyou".

Lin Dong pursed his lips. Who else could it be but that guy who suddenly rose to prominence in the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan and tried to seize power?

"I'm going to kill that bastard!" Wu Chong stood up, his face contorted with murderous intent.

But soon, Little Marten scolded him and made him sit back down: "These are all our deductions, how are you going to kill him?"

Wu Chong gritted his teeth and said, "Then what do we do now? If that guy really gains power within the clan, won't my Heavenly Demon Sable clan be doomed?"

Lin Fan said, "The best way now is to enter the Heavenly Cave and investigate."

Little Mink nodded and said, "That's what I meant too, that's why I asked you to come over."

"I'll go," Lin Dong said, pursing his lips. "I'm the weakest, so I'm not likely to attract attention. Little Mink and Brother Lin Fan can create some noise outside and take the opportunity to send me into the Heavenly Cave."

"I will go into the cave to investigate and try to rescue Little Marten's father. Only in this way can the situation be reversed. Otherwise, no one will believe Little Marten's words."

"Then be careful," Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, but did not try to dissuade him.

"It's up to you!" Little Marten stared at Lin Dong with a solemn expression and said, "Tonight, we'll send you into the Heavenly Cave. Not only will you rescue my father, but you also need to be careful."

"Don't worry," Lin Dong smiled. Over the years, he had dealt with many demons and possessed two ancestral symbols and ancestral stones, which gave him a great advantage against demons.

Chapter 454 The Most Primitive Rules! [Please Read On]

The Celestial Demon Sable Clan, before their ancestral temple.

Normally, the ancestral temple is a very important place within the clan, with quite strict defenses, but today, this area has become bustling with people and extremely lively.

Today, the Celestial Sable Clan will decide on the true candidate for the next clan leader.

This matter is considered exceptionally important within the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan, so to show its solemnity, it naturally needs to be carried out in a sacred place like the ancestral temple.

In front of the ancestral temple, there is an altar square paved with ancient bluestone. On the altar, there stands a huge stone tablet, on which are engraved the names of many ancestors of the Heavenly Demon Mink Clan. These ancestors all had great achievements.

A lively atmosphere enveloped the altar square in front of the ancestral temple, but beneath the hustle and bustle, there was a subtle strangeness to the atmosphere. The source of this strangeness was the two distinct groups of people on the square.

On the left, the leader was tall and slender, with a handsome face that was almost demonic. His lips were tightly pressed together, like the edge of a knife, exuding a cold and sharp aura. His narrow eyes still held that innate arrogance. Standing here, he appeared quite extraordinary.

This figure was none other than Little Marten. At this moment, his hands hung down, his eyes fixed on the stone tablet in front of him, his handsome face calm and undisturbed.

Unlike the group behind him, he didn't stare at the group on his right with the same cold, wary gaze.

That group of people was also quite large, and the leader of them was none other than Hao Jiuyou.

Although this person's aura was not as imposing as Xiao Diao's, his face was full of gentle smiles, and he would chat with others from time to time. His laughter was like a gentle breeze.

"Hmph, what a hypocrite."

Beside Xiao Diao, Wu Chong glanced at Hao Jiuyou and snorted coldly, his voice full of disdain.

As a member of Xiao Diao's faction, he naturally had no good feelings towards Hao Jiuyou.

"Be quiet, or you'll give people something to talk about," Little Mink said without turning his head.

Wu Chong curled his lip indignantly. If it weren't for Xiao Diao's disappearance for a century, given his prestige within the Heavenly Demon Diao Clan, even if Hao Jiuyou had a few more lives, he probably wouldn't have dared to do such a thing.

"I wonder how Brother Lin Dong is doing. He's been in the Heavenly Cave for quite a few days now," Wu Zhong said in a low voice, his tone tinged with worry.

On the night Lin Fan and Lin Dong arrived at the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan, they acted according to plan, letting the little sable attract the attention of the Heavenly Cave Guardians, while Lin Dong took the opportunity to sneak into the Heavenly Cave.

Several days have passed by now.

Xiao Diao's expression flickered upon hearing Wu Zhong's words, then he shook his head helplessly.

Lin Fan, standing next to Xiao Mink, chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems with Lin Dong."

Little Marten smiled and said, "Of course I trust him too."

In the square, many eyes lingered on the two figures at the forefront of both sides, while those looking at Xiao Diao were filled with regret.

Many of those present were of the same generation as Little Sable back then, and they knew very well who held true absolute authority within the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan at that time.

Back then, Little Sable was unmatched among the younger generation of Heavenly Demon Sables in terms of both talent and prestige.

At that time, almost everyone believed that Little Marten would be the rightful next patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Marten Clan, but that accident completely changed the situation...

The noise continued in front of the ancestral temple until more than ten elderly people appeared on the steps in front of the temple, at which point the noise gradually subsided.

In recent years, with the old patriarch in seclusion and the little sable who could have established a true position in the clan having been missing for a hundred years, the clan elders have been in charge of all the affairs of the clan. Their status in the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan is obviously quite high.

At the top of the steps, the ten elders were seated at the head. One of them was an old man in a gray robe. His hair was white, and although he was not young, his skin was like that of a baby. His slightly closed eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and every move he made emanated extremely powerful Yuan energy.

This person is none other than Zhu Li, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan.

Zhu Li's gaze slowly swept across the altar plaza. Under his gaze, many members of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan wore respectful expressions, but when his gaze shifted to Little Sable, the latter merely nodded slightly at him.
