Chapter 3516: Entering Taiyi Mountain

"Um… My Lord, I shall take my leave first."

Seeing that Feng Wuxiu had finished checking the contents of the Jade Slip, Xiao Fan spoke up hastily.

"Heh… Leaving? Why are you in such a rush?" Upon hearing this, Feng Wuxiu smiled vaguely, his gaze shifting back and forth over Xiao Fan.

Immediately, Xiao Fan felt that something was amiss, worried that his identity had been exposed.

"Um… there are still matters to attend to at Taiyi Mountain, and I need to rush back. I hope you will forgive me, My Lord." Xiao Fan said with a cheerful chuckle.

"You… are not bad." Feng Wuxiu was silent for a few moments before slowly smiling. "Very well, go ahead. Taiyi Mountain is quite a good place, very suitable for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded, cupped his fists in salute, and left the ancient fortress.

There was no doubt that Feng Wuxiu had seen through his identity… but the other party had not pointed it out and had even reminded him to return to Taiyi Mountain.

In the great hall, apart from Xiao Fan and Feng Wuxiu, the others were confused, not understanding why Feng Wuxiu was speaking so strangely to Shi Wenmao.

Of course, they didn't think too much about it; after all, Feng Wuxiu was the leader of the Nine Cauldrons Association, so it was normal for him to speak a bit strangely.

Xiao Fan left the Nine Cauldrons Association and hurried towards Taiyi Mountain…

"Feng Wuxiu saw through my identity… but he didn't say it explicitly. What is he thinking? Does he not want to get involved in this matter?"

After leaving the Nine Cauldrons Association, Xiao Fan muttered to himself, pondering Feng Wuxiu's intentions.

Was the other party not planning to get involved in this matter, or did he want to shift the trouble by sending him to Taiyi Mountain, only to later report his presence at Taiyi Mountain to the Upper Realm and use the Upper Realm to deal with Taiyi Mountain?

Or perhaps Feng Wuxiu had no other intentions and just wanted to help him…

After leaving the Nine Cauldrons Association, Xiao Fan considered many possibilities, but he still couldn't confirm Feng Wuxiu's specific intentions.

After all, Xiao Fan had not had much contact with Feng Wuxiu and did not know much about him.

"Forget it… Apart from Taiyi Mountain, I have no other retreat." Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly and continued rushing towards Taiyi Mountain.

Xiao Fan had considered whether to go to the Lower Realm of the Divine Domain.

But besides the entrance to the Lower Realm being heavily guarded, even if he managed to get there, if those people from the Upper Realm couldn't find him in the Middle Realm, they would eventually go to the Lower Realm to search as well.

The Lower Realm of the Divine Domain was smaller, making it even easier for the experts from the Upper Realm to search, and by then, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape back to the Middle Realm.

Now, Xiao Fan could only hide himself in Taiyi Mountain, then wait for an opportunity to act, and try his best to find a way to the Upper Realm.

As long as he could reach the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain, he could become stronger there, and then many things would be easily resolved…

A few days later, Xiao Fan arrived at Taiyi Mountain. Looking at the edge of the sky, Xiao Fan exhaled and walked into Taiyi Mountain.

If Feng Wuxiu had tipped off Taiyi Mountain in advance, he would be suppressed by the experts inside as soon as he entered.

According to what Shi Wenmao had said, there were three Heavenly Saint Realm experts in Taiyi Mountain, and he was far from being a match for three Heavenly Saint Realm experts…

In fact, Xiao Fan had already prepared himself; once he entered Taiyi Mountain and sensed any unusual activity, he would immediately force out the killing intent within his Level 2 Godhead, drive himself into a frenzy, and use that as an opportunity to escape…

However, after Xiao Fan entered Taiyi Mountain, he did not encounter any danger.

In fact, apart from the gate-keeping Disciple dozing off at the entrance, Xiao Fan didn't see a single person…

"Hmm? You're back, Shi Wenmao… Go in and report quickly." The gate-keeping Disciple was startled when he sensed someone entering, looked up at Xiao Fan, and spoke indifferently.

After saying this, the gate-keeping Disciple continued to doze off.

Xiao Fan was stunned, nodded, and then, based on what he had learned from Shi Wenmao previously, he knew he needed to first notify the Task Hall of Taiyi Mountain to report that the mission had been successfully completed, after which he would be free…

Xiao Fan had previously learned about the layout of Taiyi Mountain from Shi Wenmao, so he went directly to the Task Hall.

The process was extremely smooth, without any obstacles at all…

Even Xiao Fan himself was surprised, wondering what was going on with Taiyi Mountain, why it was so lax?!

Xiao Fan submitted the mission, and then, according to what Shi Wenmao had said, he went to the Immortal Cave where Shi Wenmao lived.

In Taiyi Mountain, there was no open strife or veiled struggle, nor was there any deceit… Everyone was comprehending their own Heavenly Dao.
