Chapter 3551: The Hunt Begins!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded. "Alright."

Since Xiao Fan had chosen to come beneath the ancient castle of the Nine Cauldrons Association with Feng Yuliu, he had to place his full trust in her.

Otherwise, some uncontrollable accidents might occur later.

Moreover, Xiao Fan was very clear about one thing: he had already followed Feng Yuliu into the territory of the Heavenly Saint Realm experts of the Upper Realm. If Feng Yuliu truly intended to harm him, she could easily notify the experts of the Upper Realm of his location. In that case, wouldn't he be unable to escape even with wings?

Therefore, looking at it purely from this perspective, Xiao Fan felt that Feng Yuliu's words were quite reasonable.

"Hehe… I hope you aren't a fool and truly understand." Feng Yuliu smiled, a different meaning flashing in her eyes.

Xiao Fan knew clearly that she was warning him. After all, he had only arrived here with Feng Yuliu's help; if he were to be exposed due to his own actions, Feng Yuliu would definitely be in danger later.

"Alright… let's go." Feng Yuliu waved her hand, immediately chanting an incantation, and her figure disappeared.

"Truly an impressive method…" Xiao Fan muttered. He never expected the Nine Cauldrons Association to have such a secret passage.

Who could have imagined that Feng Wuxiu, who intimidated the Middle Realm of the Divine Domain, would build such a safe haven at the headquarters of the Nine Cauldrons Association?

Of course.

Xiao Fan quickly realized that this secret passage might not be for protecting him, but for protecting Feng Yuliu.

After all, Feng Wuxiu could not always be by Feng Yuliu's side. Once Feng Yuliu encountered danger, as long as she was near the ancient castle, she could enter the secret passage to preserve her life.

These were just Xiao Fan's guesses; as for the actual situation, he had no way of knowing…

In a flash, three years passed quietly…

During this time, Xiao Fan had remained in the secret passage, located beneath Feng Yuliu's boudoir.

During this period, whenever Feng Yuliu had time, she would come to the secret passage to see Xiao Fan, and the two had gradually grown familiar with each other from being strangers…

Feng Yuliu told Xiao Fan everything about the outside situation. Before the trial began, the people from the Upper Realm had not stopped searching, but they could never find any news about Xiao Fan, so the matter had to be dragged on.

Now, the three-year deadline had arrived… Those Geniuses and Prodigies from the Upper Realm had all come to the Middle Realm to undergo training.

In this training, the winning Prodigy from the Upper Realm could obtain the opportunity for a Royal Blood baptism.

After receiving the baptism of the Upper Realm's Royal Blood and the Royal Bloodline, one could awaken all of one's potential and become a noble member of the God Race's Royal Bloodline.

And there was only one way to win: kill Xiao Fan or capture him alive…

If these two conditions could not be met, then no winner of the trial would be produced.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan was incredibly shocked. He never expected the people of the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain to be so generous, allowing ordinary people of the Middle Realm of the Divine Domain to receive the baptism of the Royal Bloodline and transform into members of the Royal Bloodline…

Through his understanding, Xiao Fan knew clearly the benefits of obtaining the God Race's Royal Bloodline. Besides being able to awaken potential, one could also obtain many privileges. Anyone who possessed Royal Blood was an existence revered by everyone in the Divine Domain, even in the Upper Realm, with infinite Cultivation resources and countless other benefits.

As for the descendants of those major God Race noble families, once a Royal Bloodline appeared among them, the benefits they would obtain could be imagined…

This was also why the major noble families of the Upper Realm would spare no cost, even willing to use their respective races' chaos spirit treasure, to find Xiao Fan's tracks…

If Xiao Fan had not met Feng Yuliu and was still hiding somewhere in the Middle Realm of the Divine Domain, without knowing these things, he would truly have been in danger…

But now, the situation was completely different. With Feng Yuliu's cooperation, the plan of the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain had basically ended in failure…

Nine Cauldrons Association, ancient castle.

Previously, Feng Wuxiu had ordered everyone to leave the vicinity of the ancient castle, while he and a few others remained here, together with a group of experts from the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain, preparing for the start of the trial.

Here, apart from Feng Wuxiu, there were also Zhan Tiange and others, as well as a Heavenly God Realm expert.

This Heavenly God Realm expert looked like an ordinary middle-aged man with white hair, gazing around with a calm expression…

This person was named Heavenly God Realm Master Zhu Yang, possessing the Royal Bloodline of the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain, with the blood of the God Race's royalty in his body.

Everyone nearby, including Feng Wuxiu, was respectful; with Heavenly God Realm Master Zhu Yang here, none of them dared to act presumptuously…

And the group of Geniuses and Prodigies who came from the Upper Realm were even more respectful in front of Heavenly God Realm Master Zhu Yang.

People with the God Race's Royal Bloodline were existences revered by everyone. At the same time, they were praying in their hearts that Xiao Fan must not die. If they could suppress Xiao Fan, they could obtain the same Bloodline as Heavenly God Realm Master Zhu Yang and become existences revered by everyone in the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain.

"It's about time. Let's begin." Heavenly God Realm Master Zhu Yang exhaled and spoke slowly.
