Chapter 3162: Preparations Before the Breakthrough

"Sigh… I hope my decision isn't wrong," the Ancestor of the Qingling Clan sighed softly.

For the future of the Qingling Clan, the Ancestor of the Qingling Clan could only take a gamble now.

The current situation of the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds was unpredictable… Aligning with Xiao Fan was a great risk, but it was also a great opportunity.

If they aligned themselves well, the Qingling Clan would surely soar to the sky in the future…

After doing all this, the Ancestor of the Qingling Clan let out a breath and sat cross-legged.

…

"Not bad…" At this moment, Xiao Fan, who had already left the Qingling Realm, murmured.

When he released those suppressed Qingling Clan experts, he left marks on them.

Those marks were Secret Technique Marks, a new Secret Technique Xiao Fan had learned from the Ancestor of the Qingling Clan. Through the eyes and ears of those Qingling Clan experts, Xiao Fan had already witnessed the process of them seeking an audience with the Ancestor of the Qingling Clan and being suppressed by him.

Xiao Fan naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to blindly trust the words of the Ancestor of the Qingling Clan. If the other party was sincerely cooperating, Xiao Fan would naturally be happy; if they had ulterior motives, Xiao Fan had to be on guard…

At least from the look of things now, the Ancestor of the Qingling Clan had no intention of setting a trap for Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan let out a breath and sped away, needing to prepare a site for his upcoming Breakthrough…

Afterward, Xiao Fan's greatest threats would be the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace and the God Race.

Of course, he also had to guard against other Domains… They all believed the chaos spirit treasure was still on him. If those people saw him safe and sound, they wouldn't dare try to seize it, but if he were injured during his Breakthrough, they might not miss the opportunity.

After all, in their eyes, a chaos spirit treasure was a supreme treasure that could change the fate of a Domain.

"I hope everything goes smoothly…" Xiao Fan murmured. Now, he could only pray that everything would go well and no accidents would occur.

Xiao Fan released Princess Huang Ji, and the two of them headed toward the Heavenly Phoenix Realm.

"What are we going to the Heavenly Phoenix Realm for?" Princess Huang Ji looked surprised, but then a look of realization dawned on her, and she cried out, "Don't go to the Heavenly Phoenix Realm to cause destruction again…"

Previously, Xiao Fan had lured the Ancestral God of the Qingling Clan to the Heavenly Phoenix Realm, resulting in heavy casualties. Naturally, Princess Huang Ji did not want to see such a thing happen again.

Princess Huang Ji thought Xiao Fan was going to the Heavenly Phoenix Realm to continue causing havoc.

"Hehehe… No, don't worry, I'm just going to gather some intelligence," Xiao Fan laughed, knowing Princess Huang Ji had misunderstood.

"Am I, Xiao Fan, really that bad?" Xiao Fan flashed a grin, showing his pearly white teeth.

Princess Huang Ji: "…"

"Are you serious?" Princess Huang Ji looked at Xiao Fan in shock.

"Of course…" Xiao Fan nodded.

"Sigh… If you aren't bad, then there are no bad people in the world."

Xiao Fan: "…"

Hearing Princess Huang Ji's words, Xiao Fan was speechless and didn't know what to say.

The people of the Heavenly Phoenix Realm kept causing trouble for him, and he wasn't allowed to take revenge?

Where was the logic in that?

However, Xiao Fan didn't say these things to Princess Huang Ji; there was no need to argue over such a small matter…

Soon, Xiao Fan and Princess Huang Ji arrived at the Heavenly Phoenix Realm Battlefield. With Xiao Fan's current stealthy methods, he easily brought Princess Huang Ji into the Heavenly Phoenix Realm.

The Heavenly Phoenix Realm was still a mess… however, the Heavenly Phoenix Palace had returned to its original state.

Furthermore, to maintain the abundance of spiritual energy within the Heavenly Phoenix Realm, they had increased the extraction of spiritual energy from the outside world…

"How selfish…" Xiao Fan sighed. Even now, the Heavenly Phoenix Palace was only thinking of itself, completely disregarding the living beings of the outside world.

"Isn't this because of you…" Princess Huang Ji curled her lips.

"How was I to know the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace wouldn't dare to fight the Ancestral God of the Qingling Clan? That coward," Xiao Fan muttered.

Xiao Fan did not leave; instead, he stayed there temporarily with Princess Huang Ji and quietly infiltrated the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, leaving behind many marks…

These marks were well-hidden and wouldn't be easily discovered; even those who were marked didn't notice a thing.

Now, Xiao Fan could perceive everything happening within the Heavenly Phoenix Palace through their eyes and ears.

After finishing this, Xiao Fan left with Princess Huang Ji.

"Why did you do that?" Princess Huang Ji asked in surprise.

"Hehe… Just to be safe. Don't worry, it's fine," Xiao Fan laughed.

He did this indeed as a precaution, worried that the Ancestor of the Qingling Clan might betray him at a critical moment.

Although it was a bit suspicious, Xiao Fan felt he wasn't wrong.

He left marks on the people of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, so he would know their every move from then on.

If the Ancestor of the Qingling Clan contacted the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace, there would definitely be unusual movements, and Xiao Fan could then detect the signs through these people.

He could afford not to rush his Breakthrough, but he couldn't be without means to deal with danger…

"Alright," Princess Huang Ji nodded and didn't say more.

Next, Xiao Fan and Princess Huang Ji left the Heavenly Phoenix Realm. Xiao Fan briefly checked the current situation of the Heavens Battlefield; no major wars were occurring, so he began looking for a place to prepare for his Breakthrough.
