Chapter 3920: I Am Trying to Protect It

However, how could it be easy for Xiao Fan to leave?!

Along the way with Zhuge Wen, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan spread out his Soul Power.

No aura could evade his prying eyes…

"Hmm?!"

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan frowned, suddenly sensing an aura of the Heavenly Saint Realm.

Beside him, Zhuge Wen was still diligently leading the way.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan grabbed Zhuge Wen by the collar, and their figures vanished.

The next moment, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan arrived with Zhuge Wen in front of Xiao Fan.

"Hehehe… Stop right there."

At this moment, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan slowly appeared, sneering as he stared down at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan: "…"

Good grief.

So the Pseudo-Emperor Realm expert mentioned by the star chart was actually Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan.

What a coincidence!

"Hehehe… Zhuge Wen, is this the person you were talking about?" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan asked indifferently.

His aura had already locked onto Xiao Fan firmly; there was no way for the other party to escape.

"Ah? Yes… it's him!!" Beside him, Zhuge Wen nodded repeatedly.

"Even though he changed his aura and appearance, the identification via the Secret Technique is absolutely unmistakable… My Lord, in order to catch this person, I specially set a trap, and I even devised a way to impart our Zhuge Family's Secret Technique to him. One could say that I have gone to great lengths to capture this person!!"

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan: "…"

Xiao Fan: "…"

Hearing Zhuge Wen's words, Xiao Fan even had a fleeting thought that perhaps he had truly been schemed against by Zhuge Wen.

Upon seeing Zhuge Wen, Xiao Fan also realized through the Qi mechanisms on the other party's body that he had been careless.

He had practiced the Zhuge Family's Secret Technique, and there must be secrets within the other party's Secret Technique that he was unaware of.

As a result, Zhuge Wen had led Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan here…

Of course.

Xiao Fan was no fool; he could roughly guess that Zhuge Wen must have been in a critical situation, which was why he had led Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan over.

Otherwise, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan wouldn't have arrived only now; he would have come to seek revenge long ago…

"Kid, who are you? You want to steal the coffin of the Xiahou Family's Old Ancestor." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan looked coldly at Xiao Fan and spoke in a deep voice.

Xiao Fan let out a breath. Since the other party was Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan, perhaps he still had some room for maneuver.

Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should reveal his identity.

Moreover, after some recent reflection, Xiao Fan had thought of one thing.

That was, what relationship Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan had with Xiahou Yan.

Judging by Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan's attitude, he shouldn't be Xiahou Yan's enemy; otherwise, the Xiahou Family would have been wiped out long ago.

However, then who was he?!

And what was his relationship with Xiahou Yan?!

"Kid, did you hear me? I am asking you a question." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said coldly, and a terrifying pressure descended from all directions.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"…

"Rumblings"

In an instant, the pressure from the Pseudo-Emperor Realm weighed down on Xiao Fan.

The surroundings roared, and an area of a hundred miles was razed to the ground.

It was merely a single thought from Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan, yet the vicinity was reduced to a mess.

Xiao Fan clearly felt the gap between himself and the other party.

"I… that was just an Opportunity." Xiao Fan exhaled and spoke while cupping his fists.

"An Opportunity? What do you mean?" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to My Lord… the matter is like this: that day, I was originally a Guest Elder of the Xiahou Family, but I saw Zhuge Wen. He had snuck into the Xiahou Family's high tower. I was worried that he had ulterior motives, so I quietly snuck in as well… After entering, sure enough, this Zhuge Wen intended to steal the coffin!!" Xiao Fan pointed at Zhuge Wen and said through gritted teeth.

"You, you, you… you are spouting nonsense!" Zhuge Wen gritted his teeth and looked at Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan beside him: "My Lord, don't listen to him, it's fake!"

"Get lost. I am not a fool. Do you think I don't know what you went to the Xiahou Family for in the first place?" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said with a dark face, glaring fiercely at Zhuge Wen.

Zhuge Wen: "…"

Hearing this, Zhuge Wen obediently lowered his head, too scared to make a sound.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Fan sneered and spoke indifferently: "My Lord, you should be well aware of Zhuge Wen's notoriety… This person commits all kinds of evil and is guilty of heinous crimes. Many evil deeds in the Divine Domain were done by this Zhuge Wen!"

"Get to the point!" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said in a deep voice.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan was naturally aware of Zhuge Wen's reputation; he was someone even the God Emperor had inquired about.

Of course.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan also knew that Zhuge Wen had been framed, but he did not know who exactly was impersonating Zhuge Wen to commit evil, nor who that person was.

"Understood." Xiao Fan nodded heavily.

"At that time, I took advantage of the fight between Zhuge Wen and Ancestor Xiahou. I was worried that the old thief Zhuge would succeed, so I… secretly hid the coffin. I was not trying to steal it; I was trying to protect it!!" Xiao Fan said with heartbreaking grief, looking at Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan with a sincere expression.
