Chapter 2540: The Return of Zhao Yilong

Inside the main hall of the Heavenly God Palace.

"Greetings, Lord Xiao!"

The two Liandao Realm powerhouses were extremely respectful upon seeing Xiao Fan, not even daring to breathe loudly.

This was Xiao Fan… the number one The Terror of the Hongtian Star Domain.

"Rise. Who are you?" Xiao Fan asked indifferently.

He did not recognize these two people in his memory, nor did he know why they had come.

Chu Feng, Yun Che, Yun Lou, Ox Ghost King, and some Prodigy Geniuses from the Nine Provinces who had come from outside were also nearby and had not left.

They all looked at these two, curious as to who they were.

"Replying to… Lord Xiao, we are from the Zhuiyun Sect. I am the Sect Master of the Zhuiyun Sect, and this is the Deputy Sect Master." The Zhuiyun Sect Master stepped forward, cupped his hands in a salute to Xiao Fan, and acted respectfully.

"Zhuiyun Sect Master… what brings you here?" Xiao Fan said indifferently.

The Zhuiyun Sect was a small force in the Hongtian Star Domain that Xiao Fan had never heard of; he would not even deign to notice such a small force.

"Well… Lord Xiao, it is like this; we have come to apologize and plead guilty." The Zhuiyun Sect Master's face was ashen and very ugly. He took out a spirit beast bracelet and released a person from within.

"Lord Xiao, this talented youth from the Nine Provinces was accidentally captured by us before… We are returning him to you now. For our offense, we hope that Lord Xiao, seeing the sincerity of the Zhuiyun Sect, will be the bigger man and forgive us this once." The Zhuiyun Sect Master said weakly.

The Zhuiyun Sect had previously captured someone from the Nine Provinces, but they had no idea at the time that this person was from the Nine Provinces!

Now that the Nine Provinces were rising, and the slave in their hands had revealed his true identity, the people of the Zhuiyun Sect were worried about being investigated by Xiao Fan later. Therefore, they had specially sent the person over to apologize, hoping that Xiao Fan would be magnanimous and forgive them.

After this person appeared, he looked left and right with a look of horror on his face. He was wearing tattered clothes, and it was evident that he had not been living well during this period.

"Hehehe… are you alright?" Xiao Fan smiled bitterly, not expecting that this person would be Zhao Yilong.

"Cap… Captain!!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Yilong looked up. Upon seeing it was Xiao Fan, Zhao Yilong was instantly moved to tears.

"Captain, it really is you!" Upon seeing Xiao Fan, Zhao Yilong became instantly excited, unable to believe everything before his eyes.

"It is me." Xiao Fan laughed, not expecting that Zhao Yilong was still alive.

Back then, this guy's ability to suck up was truly unparalleled!

"Captain?!" Hearing how Zhao Yilong addressed Xiao Fan, the Zhuiyun Sect Master and the Deputy Sect Master both turned ashen-faced.

The slave who had been in the hands of their Zhuiyun Sect for many years—could it be that he had been so close to Xiao Fan before?

If that were the case, then their Zhuiyun Sect would be in big trouble…

Would Xiao Fan, this The Terror, wipe out their Zhuiyun Sect to vent his anger?

Such a thing seemed possible!

Thinking of this, the Zhuiyun Sect Master and the Deputy Sect Master looked terrible, regretting having sent Zhao Yilong back.

If they were to be retaliated against by Xiao Fan just because they sent Zhao Yilong back, they might as well have waited for Xiao Fan to come to their door; at least they could have lingered on for a few more days.

"It is me…" Xiao Fan laughed.

Upon seeing Zhao Yilong, Jian Wuyou was also stunned for a moment. They had spent quite a long time together; before Xiao Fan arrived in Tianshen Prefecture, Jian Wuyou and Zhao Yilong had been together. Now, seeing Zhao Yilong in such a sorry state, he was filled with Killing Intent, looking at the Zhuiyun Sect Master and the Deputy Sect Master, wishing he could tear them alive.

Zhao Wuji, Ye Cang, Yun Che, Yun Lou, and Chu Feng were the same. Looking at the Zhuiyun Sect Master and the Deputy Sect Master, they were all filled with Killing Intent at this moment and really wanted to wipe them out.

"How dare you treat a person of my Nine Provinces like this, Zhuiyun Sect… you have a lot of nerve." Ye Cang shouted furiously. Although his Realm was weak, the lingering prestige of the Heavenly God Palace Master was still present.

"This… we dare not, we dare not! We didn't know at the time!" The Zhuiyun Sect Master's face was ashen as he spoke immediately.

"Yes, yes… that's right, we didn't know he was from the Nine Provinces. If we had known, we wouldn't have dared!" The Zhuiyun Sect Deputy Sect Master also spoke up immediately.

Both of their faces were extremely ugly, afraid that if they spoke too slowly, Xiao Fan would take action.

"What happened?" Xiao Fan looked at Zhao Yilong.

"Well… Captain, I wanted to become stronger back then, so I left the Fan Sect, but my luck was too bad. Not long after, I was captured and fell into the hands of the Zhuiyun Sect, becoming a slave. However, I never dared to say that I was from the Nine Provinces… Then, until now, when I heard about the great feats you accomplished, Captain, I spoke up!" Zhao Yilong said honestly.

Zhao Yilong was very smart; he addressed Xiao Fan as Captain, which could evoke Xiao Fan's memories and bring them closer together.

Zhao Yilong did not lie. He was a man of his word; after leaving the Fan Sect and being captured, he had not leaked any information about the Fan Sect.

On one hand, Zhao Yilong did not want to affect the Fan Sect because of himself.

On the other hand, if he had revealed his identity, his outcome at the time would have been even more miserable.
