Chapter 2709: Contacting Hou Yangbiao

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "…"

Everyone responded in unison. Immediately after, they were assigned lodging. Or rather, it was less of an assignment and more of designating an area for them to choose their rooms freely.

On the Heavens Battlefield, there were massive casualties every single day.

It was just that currently, a major power like Kongchen Palace wasn't at war with other major territories.

Otherwise, one might be perfectly fine one moment, and gone the next…

When Xiao Fan and his group went to choose their rooms, none of the Kongchen Palace Disciples dared to pick first, instead deferring to The Terror, Xiao Fan, to go first…

Commander Jia You didn't know Xiao Fan's strength, but they knew it all too well. Who would dare offend The Terror?

Seeing this scene, Commander Jia You in the distance was taken aback and scratched his head: "Strange, why are the Kongchen Palace Disciples today… all so courteous?"

Commander Jia You couldn't understand why a group of Kongchen Palace Disciples would let a kid in the Wanwu Realm choose his room first.

And the way they looked at Xiao Fan was even more fearful than when they looked at him, a small commander of the fortress?! How strange!!

However, Commander Jia You didn't have the heart to dwell on these things. He shook his head, turned, and left; there were still many things in the fortress waiting for him to handle.

…

Xiao Fan randomly chose a room; for him, it didn't really matter.

Only after Xiao Fan had finished choosing did the group of Kongchen Palace Disciples select their own rooms.

In fact, being assigned to the same team as Xiao Fan gave them a sense of security…

Truth be told, after arriving at the Heavens Battlefield, they had felt some fear, discovering that the Heavens Battlefield was different from what they had imagined.

If a great war broke out later and Commander Jia You proved unreliable, they could still rely on The Terror, Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan's strength had been verified through real combat; he was absolutely reliable…

…

Xiao Fan sat cross-legged and took out his Jade Slip again, sending messages to Hou Yangbiao, Emperor White Bone, Yang Yun, and the others.

"Strange…" Xiao Fan muttered. Normally, if they were all on the Heavens Battlefield, Yang Yun and Hou Yangbiao should have been able to receive the messages. Why hadn't they replied yet?

"They couldn't have actually died, could they…" Xiao Fan sighed, a look of guilt appearing in his eyes.

If Yang Yun and Hou Yangbiao really had died, it would truly be Xiao Fan's fault…

Just at this moment, the communication jade slip in Xiao Fan's hand reacted.

"Hmm?" Xiao Fan was stunned and checked it impatiently. The message had come back from Hou Yangbiao.

[Xiao Fan? How are you sending messages… Where are you?]

Normally, the distance between them was vast; one was in Kongchen Palace, and the other was on the Heavens Battlefield. The communication jade slips manufactured in the Hongtian Star Domain certainly couldn't transmit over such a great distance.

"I am on the Heavens Battlefield. Where are you? How are you all doing?" Seeing this, Xiao Fan immediately replied.

[How did you come here too…]

"It's a long story… Where are you?" Xiao Fan messaged back again.

[I am at Fortress 73. And you?]

"Fortress 73…" Xiao Fan muttered. He didn't even know which fortress he was in.

"I am following Commander Jia You. Do you know him?" Xiao Fan sent the message.

[Fortress 199, Commander Jia You… That is the worst fortress; of course I know him.]

Seeing Hou Yangbiao's message, Xiao Fan's face twitched…

No wonder. Just a moment ago, Xiao Fan had been wondering why Commander Jia You hadn't told them the fortress number if they were numbered.

It turned out it was the worst fortress; Commander Jia You was ashamed of it, which was why he hadn't said anything…

Xiao Fan let out a breath; these things had nothing to do with him anyway.

"How do I get there?"

[For that, you from…] Hou Yangbiao had been on the Heavens Battlefield for a few years, at least, and was quite familiar with the routes back and forth. He immediately told Xiao Fan how to go.

"Alright, wait for me…" Xiao Fan replied. He planned to go see Hou Yangbiao in person and wanted to know how everyone was doing.

Although Xiao Fan hadn't gotten along with Han Fu, Huo Jian, Zhang Binhong, and the others back in the Hongtian Star Domain, after arriving at the Heavens Battlefield, he felt an inexplicable sense of kinship…

At least, that was how Xiao Fan felt.

"Could this be… a meeting of fellow countrymen?" Xiao Fan murmured, then got up, left the room, and headed out according to the route Hou Yangbiao had given him.
