Chapter 2777: Just Along the Way

Qin Wuhan left by himself, and Xiao Fan let out a sigh. It was for the best that the matter could be resolved smoothly.

"Fortunately, nothing went wrong…" Xiao Fan muttered. If a great war had truly broken out between the Kongchen Realm and the Thunder Horn Clan because he kidnapped Lei Ao…

Xiao Fan would certainly have become a great sinner of the Kongchen Realm!

And a heinous one at that. Afterward, even if Qin Wuhan wanted to protect him, Immortal Lord Wen Zhen would likely have found a way to use the situation as a pretext to have him killed.

Fortunately, everything passed safely.

At this moment, the countless thunder clouds above the military camp dissipated, and that heavy pressure vanished.

"Is it over?"

"What happened?"

"The thunder clouds are gone… it should be fine now, right?"

"…"

Everyone was talking at once, each one filled with wonder, as the stone that had been weighing on their hearts finally disappeared.

"It's over. Everyone, disperse!" A Black-Armored Warrior appeared and spoke slowly, conveying Qin Wuhan's orders.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"…"

Hearing the confirmed order, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. It was great that they didn't have to go to war.

If they had gone to war with the Thunder Horn Clan, who knew how many casualties there would have been.

The people of Fortress 199 looked at each other and returned to the fortress one after another, their admiration for Xiao Fan growing even deeper… This guy was an absolute madman!

Not only had he killed Decai, who was at Nirvana Realm Level 9, but he had even kidnapped the Young Master of the Thunder Horn Tribe.

Is this something a normal person could do?!

It wasn't just the people of Fortress 199; those from other fortresses felt the same way. They thought Xiao Fan was too much of a Prodigy, and the things he did were earth-shattering—not at all what a normal person would do!

Hou Yangbiao, Yang Yun, Qian Daoling, and the others also returned to their respective fortresses, all of them breathing a sigh of relief that everything was fine.

They had been so worried that if something happened, they would be dragged into it as well…

After all, they were all grasshoppers on the same rope as Xiao Fan now. If anything happened to him, they would be in trouble later.

How fortunate. May the heavens protect Xiao Fan and keep him safe…

Xiao Fan returned to Fortress 199. Once he arrived, Commander Jia You was blocking the entrance, waiting for him to return!

Seeing Xiao Fan return, Commander Jia You rushed over and said in shock and anger, "Xiao Fan, you… when did you kidnap the Young Master of the Thunder Horn Tribe?!"

What had just happened had completely stunned Commander Jia You. His subordinate had actually kidnapped the Young Master of the Thunder Horn Tribe. If a war had really broken out, not only would Xiao Fan have become a sinner of the Kongchen Realm, but he, Commander Jia You, would have been one as well.

"Uh… it was just a coincidence." Xiao Fan scratched his head and briefly told Commander Jia You what had happened.

"You… wasn't your escape from the Buddhist Realm a narrow one? How did you still have the mind to kidnap the Young Master of the Thunder Horn Tribe?!" Commander Jia You said, his heart aching with distress.

"It was on the way, just along the way…" Xiao Fan said cheerfully.

"You… don't go reckless again in the future. I'm begging you, okay?" Commander Jia You said, looking pained.

"Fine." Xiao Fan nodded. Seeing Commander Jia You like this, he didn't know what else to say.

"Sigh… go back then." Commander Jia You waved his hand and let out a long sigh.

Xiao Fan nodded and entered Fortress 199.

Commander Jia You looked up at the sky and sighed, feeling very weary… even more weary than when Fortress 199 was being ignored.

"Perhaps this is what they call blessings and disasters being intertwined…" Commander Jia You muttered, comforting himself.

Other than that, he didn't know what else he could say.

…

Xiao Fan returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and let out a breath.

"Not bad… it's good that nothing happened." Xiao Fan exhaled. Although the Thunder Attribute Law Power was powerful, if his actions had truly led to a war, he would have felt genuinely guilty.

Xiao Fan continued to Cultivate. Immortal Lord Wen Zhen would certainly come after him again later.

But as for what would happen next, he would deal with it when the time came… when soldiers come, generals block; when water comes, earth covers. He would worry about it then.

…

Kongchen Palace.

The news of what happened at the Heavens Battlefield quickly reached Kongchen Palace as well.

When Immortal Lord Wen Zhen learned that Xiao Fan had kidnapped the Young Master of the Thunder Horn Tribe, he knew instantly that his opportunity had arrived.

Immortal Lord Wen Zhen summoned many Elders to denounce Xiao Fan!!

In the main hall of Kongchen Palace!

"Everyone, this boy cannot be tolerated!" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen's expression was grave as he said in a deep voice, "First, he killed De Ye's only Bloodline, and now he has kidnapped the Young Master of the Thunder Horn Tribe. Who knows what he'll do next? If such a person is not severely punished, what will happen in the future?!"

"…"

Immortal Lord Wen Zhen had already summoned everyone once before with the goal of severely punishing Xiao Fan, ideally to eliminate him.

But because Qin Wuhan was also involved in the matter of Xiao Fan killing Decai, many Kongchen Palace Elders believed it was better to treat the matter as a minor one.
