Chapter 284 Ning Yuan Hidden Secret Room

From the moment Shen Yurou called out the name “I Am Invincible,” Li Fan’s attention was drawn to Su Xiaomei.

He never expected to encounter “I Am Invincible,” who he had previously seen in the Seated Discussion, under such circumstances.

Naturally, Li Fan became interested.

After leaving a message about how he thought he could defeat Senior Brother Zhang, he disappeared.

He hadn't reappeared until Zhang Qianmo was defeated by Zhong Shentong.

Li Fan had originally thought he had fallen.

He never imagined he was still alive and well.

“Why didn't he challenge Senior Brother Zhang later?”

Li Fan checked the battle records of the Sitting and Discussing Dao, feeling a bit puzzled.

He didn't seem like someone who made empty boasts.

Moreover.

Li Fan opened the battle record of “I Am Invincible” Shuo Feng against Zhang Qianmo.

In previous battles, Shuo Feng also used a Flying Sword, which was good.

But it was a set of eighty-one golden light mother-child swords.

This was vastly different from the Wooden Sword he was currently using.

“Is he holding back his strength, or…?”

“Did he re-cultivate?”

Having cultivated the Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword and mastered the Divine Ability of Congyun Twenty-Eight Swords.

Li Fan could barely be considered to have some understanding of sword techniques.

By repeatedly comparing Shuo Feng's battle processes against Zhang Qianmo and Su Xiaomei.

Li Fan concluded that the power of the current Wooden Sword was far stronger than that of the previous golden light mother-child swords.

“This Wooden Sword seems to be a Heavenly and Earthly Wonder?”

“And its grade…”

Without seeing the Wooden Sword unleash its full power, Li Fan couldn't make a rash judgment.

However, it could be affirmed that it surpassed the scope of ordinary wonders.

“Earthly Wonder?”

Li Fan's heart stirred slightly.

Fortunately, Su Xiaomei was also very curious about this Wooden Sword.

She launched a continuous barrage of questions on Li Fan's behalf.

“Uncle, your Wooden Sword just now was a bit amazing, can you let me see it?”

“Is it a Magic Treasure, like the armor on your body?”

“You even wear armor when fighting, that’s too unfair.”

“I hit it with all my might, but I couldn't break your armor! You're really bullying people!”

…

Shuo Feng also had a bit of a headache with this mischievous child, so he pulled Su Xiaomei, who was almost hanging on him, away and replied, “This is my Foundation Establishment wonder, the [Sword].”

“It cannot be shown to others unless in battle.”

“As for this golden light treasure armor on my body…” Shuo Feng patted his clothes, a hint of helplessness on his face.

“It was custom-made for me by my mother, Feixue Xianzun. Not to mention your Foundation Establishment cultivation, even that Nascent Soul Shen Yurou just now might not be able to break through its defense.”

Su Xiaomei's eyes widened upon hearing this. She reached out her small hand and touched Shuo Feng’s blue clothes repeatedly, her eyes full of envy.

Then she shook her head, “If you wear this, who would normally fight with you? How boring!”

Shuo Feng also sighed, “My mother’s command is truly hard to disobey. All this way, only Cultivators like you, little sister, who don't know my background, would fight me. As for Shen Yurou, no matter how much I provoked her with words, she wouldn't actively make a move.”

Su Xiaomei couldn't help but ask, “What's with your Cultivation Technique? Why is it so strange? You can't actively attack? How uninteresting!”

Shuo Feng wore an expression that implied she wouldn't understand, smiling without answering.

Su Xiaomei pestered him for a while, and seeing that Shuo Feng still had no intention of answering, she could only pout and give up.

“You've been asking me all this time, now it's my turn to ask. Whose disciple are you?” Shuo Feng asked with a smile.

“I won't tell you!” Su Xiaomei rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly.

Shuo Feng was speechless.

Zhang Haobo, who was beside them, also kept silent, appearing as if it had nothing to do with him.

Shuo Feng could only ask again, “Then let me guess, you two are definitely not natives of Nine Mountains State. Your arrival this time must be for the Chao Yuan Sect Ruins, right?”

Su Xiaomei snorted again, but this time it was considered an acknowledgment.

Shuo Feng asked, “Coincidentally, my destination is also there. How about we go together since it's on the way?”

Su Xiaomei looked up at Shuo Feng.

“Then let's go!” she said.

Then she took the lead and flew forward.

Shuo Feng smiled, shaking his head inwardly.

Then he followed unhurriedly.

Just like that, the group heading to the Chao Yuan Sect Ruins went from two people to three.

Along the way, there was much bickering.

Occasionally, Su Xiaomei and Shuo Feng would also spar again.

Nine Mountains State is vast.

There was still some time before they reached their destination.

While Shuo Feng and his companions were on their journey, Li Fan, after several months, felt a sensation in his heart, indicating that he could once again enter the Fallen Immortal Realm.

“fusheng xuanhuang heavenly lord!”

The ritual was activated, and Li Fan once again arrived outside Ningyuan City.

This time, Li Fan still chose the same pretext as last time.

He persuaded Senior Brother Zhang to secretly infiltrate the city, then they would split up and gather information separately.

Li Fan's goal was clear this time.

He conveniently borrowed some silver from a wealthy merchant in the city and began to inquire about “Mr. Bai.”

It is said that money makes the world go round.

What made Li Fan feel somewhat strange was that he scattered a lot of money, but he couldn't get any useful information about “Mr. Bai.”

It was as if such a person didn't exist in the city at all.

Li Fan had to change his approach and began to inquire about any exceptionally handsome young men in the city.

Under the peculiar gazes of the residents, Li Fan gathered three candidates who met the criteria.

The first two were excluded by Li Fan after some investigation and seeing them in person.

They were all ordinary Mortals, just good-looking.

Only the last one remained.

Li Fan arrived at the target's doorstep.

A secluded, dilapidated small courtyard.

According to the residents' descriptions, the owner of the courtyard was a young man who appeared somewhat sickly.

This young man was not a local.

He had come to Ningyuan City two years ago with a wave of displaced refugees.

After buying this courtyard with the only silver he had left, he settled down there.

During weekdays, the young man kept to himself and rarely showed his face.

It was said that he had excellent handwriting and made a living by teaching in wealthy households in the city.

And he was born with a handsome appearance; anyone who had seen him praised the young man's dignified looks.

…

The young man's information flashed through Li Fan's mind.

Not sensing any living presence inside, Li Fan flashed into the courtyard.

His Divine Sense swept through roughly, finding nothing unusual.

However, Li Fan knew that Mr. Bai's house had a stone statue made of absolute immortal stone, which could block Divine Sense perception.

Not letting it go, Li Fan pushed open each door one by one and entered to carefully check.

Upon reaching a room on the west side of the small courtyard, which seemed to be a storage room, Li Fan's footsteps paused slightly.

Pushing aside the scattered sundries on the floor, Li Fan lifted a thin Stone Slab on the ground.

A dark, black hole was revealed beneath it.

“absolute immortal stone slab…”

“This is the place!”

A slight smile appeared on Li Fan's lips, and he leaped into the secret chamber below.

After landing, a faint smell of blood assailed his nostrils.
