Chapter 2007: Ling Xiao’s Compromise

"Heavens… No, it can't be!"

"…"

The Geniuses and Prodigies of the Ziwei Pavilion were greatly shocked.

Ling Xiao had known Xiao Fan's identity before, but these Ziwei Pavilion Disciples did not; they had gone into seclusion with Ling Xiao immediately after entering the Secret Realm Star Domain.

Therefore, now that Xiao Fan had revealed his Clone Cultivation Technique, these Geniuses and Prodigies of the Ziwei Pavilion were struck with shock, their expressions changing drastically.

Xiao Fan's original body sat calmly atop Ling Xiao's head…

The three Clones that appeared exchanged glances, each brimming with Killing Intent, before charging toward the Ziwei Pavilion Disciples.

In reality, three Clones weren't needed at all.

A single Clone of Xiao Fan would have been sufficient…

However, by manifesting three Clones at once, they could also act as Protectors for him, ensuring the process of suppressing Ling Xiao remained worry-free.

"You… damn you!!" Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, filled with resentment.

"Stay there quietly and don't waste your energy. Once Huian wakes up, I'll let you out," Xiao Fan said calmly.

The appearance of his three Clones was a complete slaughter; those Ziwei Pavilion Disciples had no power to resist.

Before long, the Ziwei Pavilion Disciples were routed. They retreated in disarray; some had their Physical Bodies blown apart, leaving only their Primordial Spirits, while others had both their Physical Bodies and Primordial Spirits annihilated together.

Some of these Ziwei Pavilion Disciples even tried to threaten Xiao Fan's Clones by self-detonating.

But unfortunately… it was useless.

Even if they self-detonated, it might have some impact on Xiao Fan's Clones, but the effect was definitely minor.

Ling Xiao looked as if he had swallowed a dead rat, his face gloomy to the extreme. Of course… he never stopped trying to shatter the cage.

But with Xiao Fan there, the time he would need to break the cage would be very long.

Nearby, more and more Geniuses from various forces arrived, all curious and coming to watch the spectacle.

Liu Wuxin, Liu Wuyan, and others from the Pixin Sect were the first to arrive.

Upon arrival, they saw Xiao Li and Xiao Qing pummeling those Prodigies and Geniuses from the Witch God Clan, Weiyang Clan, and Sacred Beast Realm.

Later, the Wuliang Palace and other forces also arrived one after another.

When they saw Ling Xiao suppressed within a golden cage with Xiao Fan sitting on top, they were all stunned.

"What happened to Ling Xiao!!"

"He's been Sealed?!"

"Is there a grudge between them?!"

"What is Huian doing?!"

"…"

Countless people nearby cried out in surprise, but none of them were fools; no one dared to get too close, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

It was too dangerous to get close to a clash between Prodigies of this level.

After a while, the Ziwei Pavilion Disciples were beaten into a daze. Unable to withstand the assault, they retreated repeatedly.

One of Xiao Fan's Clones pressed the attack.

Another Clone returned to Xiao Fan's side, staying alert of the surroundings.

The remaining Clone went toward the Geniuses from the various observing forces to serve as a deterrent.

Upon seeing Xiao Fan's Clone… the one with the ugliest expression was Liu Wuxin.

She was filled with resentment; she had been pummeled by Xiao Fan's Clone before, and yet she had no way to retaliate.

Liu Wuxin's malice was sensed by Xiao Fan's Clone. The Clone looked at Liu Wuxin and flashed a row of white teeth.

Liu Wuxin: "…"

She felt she was being provoked, and Liu Wuxin wanted to strike.

But on second thought, she decided against it.

This was currently a grudge between Xiao Fan and the Ziwei Pavilion; what business did she have getting involved?

Besides… even if she did get involved, what use would it be?

To go get beaten up?!

Xiao Fan exhaled; the process was going smoothly without any interference.

Looking at it now, Huian could perform his Spirit Journey in peace.

"I wonder where his consciousness went," Xiao Fan murmured.

He was very close to Huian and could feel that Huian's Physical Body was currently very strange. His Primordial Spirit was clearly within the body, yet it was also very ethereal, as if only an empty shell remained… while the spirit was gone.

This state was very peculiar.

At least, Xiao Fan had never seen it before.

"It's likely a Divine Ability of the Buddhist Sect…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself. Not only that, he also felt a sense of danger emanating from Huian.

But Huian's Realm clearly hadn't changed.

Where was this sense of danger coming from?!

Xiao Fan shook his head, planning to ask Huian once he woke up.

For now, the priority was to keep Ling Xiao suppressed.

Ling Xiao was furious, but he had no way out; he couldn't leave the cage!!

"Damn it, damn it!!" Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and roared.

"Behave yourself," Xiao Fan said indifferently.

"Release me, and I can promise you any condition, any condition at all!" Ling Xiao said through gritted teeth, choosing to compromise.

He had poured everything into this moment…

Between him and Huian, only one could succeed.

He was unwilling… It was clearly a perfect plan, yet this variable had occurred.

The variable of Huian was one thing, but now Xiao Fan had appeared as well!

"Hehe… Scram. Your promises are worth nothing," Xiao Fan said flatly.

"As long as you let me leave, I will agree to anything you want! Believe me, I have the power!!" Ling Xiao bellowed.

But Xiao Fan remained unmoved: "Hehe… Scram."
