Chapter 202: The Ruined Jingchuan City

That meant Shou Yuanzhong was already dead…

Yet, at the same time, they all found this thought ridiculous.

A powerhouse in the Xuandan Realm, how could he fall so easily…

…

The members of the Long Family had already returned to the Long Mansion.

Xiao Fan had lost an arm; although the bleeding had stopped, he couldn't adapt to it for a while.

After arriving at the Long Mansion, he went to change his clothes first before coming out.

His left sleeve was empty…

When he arrived at the main hall, Ancestor Long Zizai was currently entertaining Kong Ping and the others.

Seeing Xiao Fan enter, the gazes of the few were somewhat strange…

Except for Jiang Yushan and Elder Cao Mu, the others hadn't seen how Xiao Fan fought.

To think he could be injured like this.

Especially Warrior Feng and Kong Ping; both had heard that Xiao Fan was very strong and capable of challenging those at higher levels, but how had he ended up in this state now?

And Jiang Yushan and Elder Cao Mu did not open their mouths to explain the process of the battle…

"How are you feeling?"

Kong Ping asked with a smile, looking at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan gave a bitter smile: "I lost an arm, so it's a bit hard to adapt."

Upon hearing this, the others also laughed.

"Your cultivation has already reached the Middle Stage of the ninth level of Qi Condensation. Once you reach the Tongtian Realm, as long as you spend some effort, your left arm will be able to regrow."

Warrior Feng said; losing hands or feet was very normal for a Cultivator.

Once cultivation reaches the Tongtian Realm, one can naturally regrow severed limbs, and the higher the cultivation, the faster the recovery speed.

Just like Elder Cao Mu and Jiang Yushan…

One had an arm chopped off, the other lost a leg, yet aren't they both fine now…

Although recovery consumes quite a bit of spiritual power…

Xiao Fan nodded; he naturally knew about the ability to regrow severed limbs in the Tongtian Realm.

"Thank you for your concern, Elders."

Xiao Fan clasped his fists and bowed, his attitude respectful.

For his sake, the Jixian Sect had actually sent three more Elders.

This moved him deeply.

The few had smiles on their faces…

"By the way, the Inner Sect Disciple selection is in three days. What about your current state?"

Kong Ping spoke again; upon hearing his words, the expressions of those around instantly turned ugly.

Ancestor Long Zizai, who was on the side, although not clear about the inside story, understood something upon hearing about the Inner Sect Disciple selection…

He looked at Xiao Fan with surprise, not expecting that Xiao Fan could participate in the Inner Sect Disciple assessment so quickly.

Although Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples are both Jixian Sect Disciples, the gap between them is like heaven and earth…

They could see that Xiao Fan was heavily injured and missing an arm; with such severe injuries, even taking many Medicinal Pills, he could not fully recover within three days.

And the Jixian Sect's Inner Sect Disciple selection included not just the Disciples of Xiao Fan's generation, but also Outer Sect Disciples from many previous years…

Among them were many Geniuses from previous years…

"I will participate; this injury is not a problem."

Xiao Fan said very seriously.

Only by joining the Inner Sect can one be considered a true Disciple of the Jixian Sect.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue had told him that the true foundation of the Jixian Sect was all in the Inner Sect of the Jixian Sect…

And if he missed this opportunity, he would have to wait at least another year for the next one.

He, Xiao Fan, did not want to wait…

Furthermore, he possessed the Enlightenment Seed; if this matter were to leak out, he would be in danger, so he needed to become stronger.

Become stronger as soon as possible!!

…

Jingchuan City was in chaos, with pedestrians coming and going everywhere.

Especially on the streets, many damages caused by the aftermath of the battle were being cleaned up by a large number of City Lord Mansion guards…

When the crowd reached the center of the City Lord Mansion and saw that huge palm print.

Everyone was stunned…

They could not imagine what kind of cultivation could cause such terrifying destruction.

The place where the palm print was located was completely destroyed…

Even worse was the City Lord Mansion, which had been beaten until only debris remained…

After City Lord Lu Zhiming saw this, his face remained dark.

Discussions about the Long Family and the Xiao Family were constant…

Although the current state of Jingchuan City was caused by these two families, no one dared to open their mouths to curse.

Because no one could afford to offend these two families.

But everyone knew one thing: the Long Family was about to rise this time…

Many people had seen the five people who flew in from the Jixian Sect earlier.

Coupled with the City Lord's respectful attitude, they all guessed the identities of the few…

Elders from within the Jixian Sect…

And looking at the Xiao Family…

The figure of Shou Yuanzhong was gone, but no one had seen his corpse…

And after the people of the Xiao Family returned to the Xiao Mansion, everyone was dumbfounded…

"Damn it, damn it! With so many places unaffected, why was my Xiao Mansion implicated…"

Xiao Yuan cursed viciously; half of the Xiao Mansion had been destroyed, and the remaining half was still burning with raging fire…

"The Xiao Mansion is gone… Tian'er has become like this…"

Wei Xia felt as if the sky was collapsing, and she sat down on the ground with a thud…

"Why aren't you putting out the fire? What are you thinking about!!"

Xiao Yuan loudly cursed the direct descendants and servants of the Xiao Family behind him.

Everyone knew that the Xiao Family had collapsed…

…

Inside the Long Mansion, the evening banquet began.

A table full of sumptuous dishes…

This time, they had taken out all the good things remaining in the Long Mansion's treasury…

The Long Family had really spared no expense.

Even when Ancestor Long Zizai celebrated his birthday, the Long Family had never prepared such a sumptuous evening banquet.

The five Elders—Kong Ping, Warrior Feng, Elder Cao Mu, Jiang Yushan, and He Yutang—along with Xiao Fan, Long Miaoyin, and Ancestor Long Zizai, eight people in total, sat at the table.

Warrior Feng and the others also knew that Long Miaoyin was Xiao Fan's wife…

The few sighed endlessly about this matter…

Forced to become a live-in son-in-law, marrying such an ugly wife, and now after Xiao Fan had risen…

He could still stand by his wife without abandoning her, cherishing their old affection.

They all sighed with emotion at this…

During the banquet, Ancestor Long Zizai handed Xiao Fan a Storage Pouch; inside were the panlong spear and the Magical Artifact longsword, which were already covered in scars…

This was retrieved by the Long Family members from the ruins after Ancestor Long Zizai ordered them to do so upon their return.

Xiao Fan sighed; he did not expect that the two Profound Rank Magical Artifacts in his hands would end up in this state.

However, thinking of what Beiming had said before… he didn't seem to be in a bad mood.

Anyway, they were both broken Magical Artifacts; he would just make do with them for now.
