Chapter 3278: The Safest Place

"Are you sure I should say it now?!" Zhu Zhenghao asked seriously, putting away his playful demeanor.

The meaning behind his words was crystal clear: with Xiao Fan right there, was he sure he wanted Xiao Fan to know about this?!

One had to understand that once the ancient contract was known, if the God Race found out, the situation would become extremely dangerous. If they fell into the hands of the God Race, then Zhu Zhenghao's fate would be their fate as well.

Zhu Zhenghao was unaware of the grudge between Xiao Fan and the God Race…

"It is fine." Wu Jie nodded.

Zhu Zhenghao looked at Xiao Fan and sneered, "Kid, this matter is of great importance. If you find out about it, it will do you no good… You had better think clearly, do you understand?!"

"You… what do you mean?!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Hehehe… If the people of the God Race find out that you know about the ancient contract, how do you think they will treat you? By then, there will be no place for you to hide in all the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds." Zhu Zhenghao sneered, thinking Xiao Fan was truly an idiot for not even being able to figure out such a simple question.

Xiao Fan: "…"

"It's as if the God Race would let me go if I didn't know about the ancient contract." Xiao Fan shook his head, looking speechless.

"You… you mustn't underestimate the God Race. I suffered greatly because of them back then. They can invite experts from the God Realm to temporarily descend to the Lower Realm, and their methods are extremely bizarre!" Zhu Zhenghao paused.

"Hehehe… I am well aware." Xiao Fan said indifferently. It wasn't as if he hadn't dealt with experts from the God Realm before…

"You…" Zhu Zhenghao looked puzzled, wondering why Xiao Fan, who was only in the Nirvana Realm, had such confidence.

Zhu Zhenghao acknowledged Xiao Fan's strength, but he hadn't seen Xiao Fan fight with his own eyes after all.

"Senior, rest assured, he will be fine." Wu Jie said with a wry smile.

"This… fine then." Zhu Zhenghao thought for a moment, let out a breath, and nodded.

"The ancient contract is actually located in…" Zhu Zhenghao spoke slowly, telling Wu Jie and Xiao Fan the location of the ancient contract.

"It's… it's in a place like this?!" Wu Jie looked bewildered.

"Old man, you aren't lying to us, are you?!" Xiao Fan was extremely astonished.

"Hehehe… What benefit would I get from lying to you?!" Zhu Zhenghao sneered and spoke indifferently.

Hearing Zhu Zhenghao say this, Xiao Fan and Wu Jie exchanged a look, both with expressions of disbelief.

"This is called 'all is fair in war'; the most dangerous place is the safest place… Do you understand?" Zhu Zhenghao said slowly.

"Awesome!" Xiao Fan couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Senior, you are ruthless!" Wu Jie nodded. The location of the ancient contract was something Wu Jie never could have imagined in his wildest dreams.

"Hehehe… Alright, stop flattering me. Is there anything else you want to know? Ask it all now." Zhu Zhenghao said indifferently.

In truth, Zhu Zhenghao had bottled this up for all these years, and he had long since had enough. In fact, Zhu Zhenghao even regretted it slightly; if he had leaked the secret regarding the ancient contract earlier, would he have been safe?!

Now, Zhu Zhenghao only wanted to say everything he knew, and then close himself off in peace to recover his strength.

"This… there are indeed a few other things I would like to ask you about, Senior." Wu Jie thought for a moment, exhaled, and spoke slowly.

"What is it?" Zhu Zhenghao said indifferently.

"Back then, did Senior Shang Dao… did he not leave behind any contingency plans?!" Wu Jie asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Zhenghao was once a powerhouse who followed Shang Dao, and he was also the person designated by Shang Dao to guard the ancient contract when he fell.

That was why Wu Jie asked this question.

"Hehehe… Contingency plans?" Zhu Zhenghao shook his head, his expression becoming strange. "Didn't you fail?!"

Upon hearing Zhu Zhenghao's words, Wu Jie remained silent for a long time.

And Xiao Fan, his expression became strange as well.

Failed?!

Wu Jie failed; what did that mean?!

Had something happened to Wu Jie?!

How did Wu Jie fail?!

All sorts of thoughts surged in Xiao Fan's mind, and he immediately began to let his imagination run wild…

These words from Zhu Zhenghao contained too much information.

"Sigh… I didn't want to either." Wu Jie sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Then there is nothing left… Lord Shang Dao probably never imagined that later generations would be so dull, to the point that not a single person appeared who could reach the heights he once attained." Zhu Zhenghao shook his head helplessly.

Following that, Wu Jie asked many more questions, and Zhu Zhenghao answered them one by one…

Xiao Fan listened quietly from the side.

Many of them concerned the secrets of the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, most of which Xiao Fan knew nothing about.

"Alright, is that all?" Two hours later, Zhu Zhenghao asked slowly.

"That is all, Senior." Wu Jie said calmly.

"Hehehe… Since that is all, arrange a place for me; I need to get some good rest." Zhu Zhenghao said with a smile.

He felt a sense of relief; the stone that had been pressing down on his heart had finally fallen, and the words he had buried within for many years had finally been spoken.
