Chapter 2746: Rising Fame

Xiao Fan blinked at Immortal Lord Wen Zhen, pretending he knew nothing.

"You… brat, you are courting death!" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen seethed with anger and immediately prepared to strike.

"Wen Zhen, get this straight—what place do you think this is!" Qin Wuhan said coldly, stopping Immortal Lord Wen Zhen.

Although he didn't know the truth of the matter, De Ye was a powerhouse of the Divine Wheel Realm. Even though Xiao Fan was a Prodigy, how could he possibly have killed him?

"I…" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen's face turned livid, but now that Qin Wuhan had spoken, he couldn't say anything and could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Xiao Fan's expression remained calm as he cupped his hands in a salute to Qin Wuhan. "Thank you for intervening, Senior…"

"No need for that," Qin Wuhan said calmly. "Alright, you may withdraw first. This no longer concerns you…"

"Yes, Senior!" Xiao Fan cupped his hands, his attitude respectful.

"Commander Jia You, you should withdraw as well…" Qin Wuhan glanced at Commander Jia You.

"Yes, my lord!" Commander Jia You acknowledged and left the main hall with Xiao Fan.

After leaving the main hall, Commander Jia You breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're fine… Xiao Fan, how exactly did you escape?"

"I just escaped, that's all… I took advantage of their carelessness and ran off. On the way, I discovered a team from the Thunder Horn Clan and caused them to clash with the people from the Buddhist Realm, and that was that…" Xiao Fan painted the Thunder Horn Clan as great benefactors.

It was because of them that Xiao Fan was saved…

"So that's how it was. Your luck wasn't bad…" Commander Jia You nodded, feeling that what Xiao Fan said made sense.

Just like that, the two returned to Fortress 199…

Qin Wuhan, inside the main hall, had heard the conversation between Xiao Fan and Commander Jia You clearly.

"Slippery fellow…" Qin Wuhan muttered. He felt no sadness over the death of De Ye; the two had never been close to begin with.

But for Immortal Lord Wen Zhen to cause trouble in the military camp and try to use the camp as an excuse to secretly commit murder—that was going too far.

"Wen Zhen, don't you need to give me an explanation for this?" Qin Wuhan looked at Immortal Lord Wen Zhen with cold eyes and said coldly.

"I am unaware of this matter as well. De Ye asked me to help him do it…" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen remained expressionless, pushing all the responsibility onto De Ye.

"De Ye…" Qin Wuhan muttered.

Matters were more troublesome than he had imagined… Furthermore, Xiao Fan was far less simple than he had imagined.

…

Xiao Fan returned to Fortress 199 with Commander Jia You. He went straight to his room and released the captured Thunder Horn Clan powerhouse.

"You… what do you want to do?" the Thunder Horn Clan powerhouse said angrily.

"Rest assured, I won't kill you. I just want to borrow some lightning from you to comprehend…" Xiao Fan said with a chuckle.

"You won't kill me?" The Thunder Horn Clan powerhouse was stunned. He had a large build, but his voice was quite youthful.

Xiao Fan was not of this race, so he didn't know his age.

"But the premise is that you cooperate with me obediently. Afterward, I will let you go. How about it?" Xiao Fan smiled.

"Very well." The Thunder Horn Clan powerhouse nodded. In truth, he had no other choice at this moment.

Besides agreeing, did he have any other path to choose?

No!!

If he didn't agree, Xiao Fan might just kill him directly!

"Very good, I like straightforward people like you!" Xiao Fan said happily. "Display some of your lightning power and let me take a look."

"Mm…" The Thunder Horn Clan powerhouse nodded. His single horn emitted lightning power, containing terrifying might.

Xiao Fan smiled in satisfaction and began to absorb and refine the lightning power, extracting the Lightning Law runes from it to comprehend…

The Thunder Horn Clan powerhouse was very cooperative. Whatever Xiao Fan told him to do, he did… working without complaint, not daring to resist.

Xiao Fan had never dreamed that the Thunder Horn Clan would be so easy to talk to!

It wasn't like what was rumored in the outside world at all!

But this was a good thing after all, and Xiao Fan was happy with it…

In the blink of an eye, three days passed…

Xiao Fan was still in his room comprehending the Thunder Attribute Law Power.

The Thunder Horn Clan powerhouse cooperated obediently, lightning densely covering his forehead.

Meanwhile, in the territory of the Kongchen Realm within the Heavens Battlefield, news about Xiao Fan began to spread.

"Xiao Fan of Fortress 199… This guy is too ferocious, right? He fell into the hands of the Buddhist Realm and was still able to escape!"

"Damn… Is that Xiao Fan the one in the Wanwu Realm?"

"No way, he's only in the Wanwu Realm?!"

"You guys don't know. Let me tell you, that Xiao Fan previously at Kongchen Palace actually forcibly dragged Wen Xing of Immortal Lord Wen Zhen's Family to the main hall."

"…"
