Chapter 2542: Has The Terror Changed His Ways?

The news that Xiao Fan had let the Sect Master and the Vice Sect Master of the Zhuiyun Sect go quickly spread throughout the Hongtian Star Domain.

"What?!"

"The Terror, Xiao Fan, actually didn't take action?!"

"No way, no way…"

"It's true, it's really true!"

"Quick, contact the people from the Zhuiyun Sect and ask what exactly is going on!"

"…"

Upon learning this news, countless small and medium-sized factions were shaken and immediately contacted the Zhuiyun Sect to inquire about the situation, wanting to know what was actually going on.

Could it be that the temper of The Terror, Xiao Fan, had changed?

Was he no longer as irritable as before?

If that were the case, they wouldn't need to take risks and dispose of the people from the Nine Provinces they held in their hands.

After contacting the people from the Zhuiyun Sect, these small and medium-sized factions all received a definitive answer.

The Sect Master of the Zhuiyun Sect personally stated that Xiao Fan's attitude had been very calm and amiable, and he hadn't made things difficult for them at all.

He only said that in the future, if the people enslaved by the Zhuiyun Sect became strong enough, they could come to seek revenge on their own.

Furthermore, in his words, the Sect Master of the Zhuiyun Sect praised Xiao Fan highly and was full of admiration…

"This… could it really be true!"

"The Terror, Xiao Fan, has changed his nature!"

"Wait, no, could this be a pretense by The Terror?"

"That shouldn't be, it shouldn't be… Someone like Xiao Fan, do you think he would go back on his word?"

"That's true…"

"…"

Countless small and medium-sized factions discussed it among themselves; if Xiao Fan really wasn't going to settle scores, then why should they take the risk of disposing of the people from the Nine Provinces they held?

It would be better to just give them to Xiao Fan.

Consequently, a few more factions went over and handed the people from the Nine Provinces they held over to Xiao Fan.

"Lord Xiao, forgive us, forgive us… Please forgive us!"

"Yes, Lord Xiao, forgive us!"

"Lord Xiao, we know we were wrong."

"…"

A group of experts knelt on one knee before Xiao Fan, their eyes filled with worry.

If The Terror, Xiao Fan, were to turn against them, they would be finished.

Dozens of people from the Nine Provinces were released, and upon seeing Xiao Fan, they burst into tears.

"Your Majesty…"

"Your Majesty, I truly never thought I would be able to see you alive again!"

"Your Majesty!"

"…"

The group of people from the Nine Provinces were all deeply moved; they hadn't expected to still be alive, let alone return to the new Nine Provinces.

"It's good that you're alive…" Xiao Fan smiled bitterly, then looked at the group of trembling experts.

"You may go back. In the future, if they want to seek revenge against you, it will all depend on your own abilities, understand?"

"This… yes, yes, yes, thank you, Lord Xiao!"

"Thank you, Lord Xiao, thank you, Lord Xiao!"

"Farewell, farewell!"

"…"

The experts from the small and medium-sized factions all agreed, bowing repeatedly with clasped hands, their hearts filled with relief.

Just as the Sect Master of the Zhuiyun Sect had said, The Terror, Xiao Fan, did not turn against them.

After leaving, they all breathed a sigh of relief; as for being retaliated against by Xiao Fan later, that was a problem for later.

With these examples, those factions that had been hesitant before also sent the people from the Nine Provinces they held back.

Xiao Fan remained the same as before, choosing to forgive them.

There was no other way; if he didn't do this, it might cause fatal trouble for those people from the Nine Provinces who were still barely surviving.

Having experienced this incident, it was actually good enough that the group of people from the Nine Provinces were still alive.

Moreover, it wasn't that Xiao Fan wasn't going to take revenge, but rather that he wanted them to take revenge themselves.

The wealth of the Nine Provinces far exceeded what other factions imagined.

The resources in Xiao Fan's hands had reached a terrifying height; not even the foundations of the Three Great God Clans were as wealthy as Xiao Fan!

When it came to cultivating experts, Xiao Fan would certainly not be stingy with resources; he would vigorously cultivate the Geniuses and Prodigies of the Nine Provinces.

Before long, the new Nine Provinces would be teeming with experts and become the number one faction in the Hongtian Star Domain!

"Say, Xiao Fan, when will you be able to give me the saint-grade artifact?" Hou Yangbiao found Xiao Fan once again, chasing him for his saint-grade artifact.

After Xiao Fan promised to give him the saint-grade artifact, there had been no news, and he hadn't paid him any mind.

If it were anyone else, Hou Yangbiao would have already turned against them, but he was very clear about the strength of this guy, Xiao Fan.

Even if he were to fight him, he wouldn't gain any advantage.

Therefore, Hou Yangbiao could only calmly come to ask Xiao Fan for it.

"What are you in such a rush for?" Xiao Fan asked irritably. "Do you think I would welsh on a debt?"

"Kid, you never know… It's been so long, and you're still stalling and not giving it to me!" Hou Yangbiao replied irritably, staring at Xiao Fan with an unfriendly expression.

"Rest assured, I will give it to you later," Xiao Fan said helplessly.
