Chapter 4353: Exploring the flying boat

"This… My Lord, I've always been very honest, why do you suddenly say this?!" Xiao Fan was taken aback.

"You, honest? Where are you honest? Hah!" Chi Ling's face was dark, and he spoke with rising anger.

"Am I not honest enough?" Xiao Fan looked adorable and confused as he scratched his head.

"You, you… kid, don't give me that cheeky smile, do you hear me?!" Chi Ling was overflowing with Killing Intent; if not for his special status, it would be inconvenient for him to take action.

Chi Ling would have acted long ago to give Xiao Fan a harsh lesson.

Chi Ling let out a cold snort, turned around, and left Xiao Fan's room.

Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly, not expecting to have provoked this trouble.

Of course.

Xiao Fan was not afraid of Chi Ling.

"Strange, why did he come over? Telling me to be honest, what does he mean?" Xiao Fan murmured.

His Divine Soul entered the star chart to analyze the situation with the star chart, the black ring, and the others.

"Strange… why would he come over at this time?!"

"There is indeed something wrong…"

"Telling you to be honest? Why say that?!"

"…"

Suddenly, the Artifact Spirit spoke up: "Could it be that Chi Ling and the others are leaving?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Fan looked at the Artifact Spirit: "Why do you say that?!"

"Well… back when I was teaching my apprentices, if I had to leave for something and was worried they wouldn't focus on Artifact Refining, I would give them a warning, threaten them a bit, and then leave," the Artifact Spirit said awkwardly.

"That… actually seems to make sense."

Hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded, and the star chart, the black ring, and the others did the same, all nodding in agreement that the Artifact Spirit's words were very reasonable.

"They left? Where would they go?" Xiao Fan murmured.

"Do you think… it's possible they went to pick out other people? Other people entering the Nether Ghost Mansion?!" the star chart suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan showed a look of sudden realization.

"It should be…"

If the star chart's guess was correct, it proved that Chi Ling and the other True Emperors had left.

The other experts of the Nether Ghost Mansion would likely have mostly left as well.

If that was the case, Xiao Fan felt his opportunity had come.

So, Xiao Fan left his room and went to find Fang Liang to ask if Chi Ling had visited him.

"No…" Fang Liang shook his head.

According to Fang Liang, after entering the flying boat, he had been staying honestly in his room and hadn't seen a single soul.

"Alright." Xiao Fan nodded.

"Brother Wei, did something happen?!"

"It's nothing…"

Xiao Fan sighed and, with a wave of his hand, erased Fang Liang's memory.

Fang Liang fell into a deep sleep, his memory of just seeing Xiao Fan having been wiped away.

Xiao Fan left Fang Liang's room and noticed that the security on the flying boat had indeed loosened significantly.

"Just as I thought…"

Xiao Fan murmured, intending to take the opportunity to investigate the flying boat.

If there were no True Emperor Realm experts on the flying boat, Xiao Fan could erase the memories of anyone else later.

In this way, Xiao Fan could do as he pleased on the flying boat while Chi Ling and the others were away.

Of course.

The prerequisite was that there were no Barriers on the flying boat that could record Xiao Fan's actions.

Thus, this task was given to Wanxiang…

Wanxiang spent half a day shutting down all the monitoring Formations on the flying boat.

Then, Xiao Fan began his move…

Xiao Fan started to act without restraint; anyone he encountered was suppressed with a single blow, and then their memories were erased.

Soon, Xiao Fan reached the core of the flying boat.

This was the control center of the entire flying boat…

The control center was empty; the three Pseudo-Emperor Realm experts outside had already been suppressed by Xiao Fan, their memories erased, and were now lying on the ground.

Xiao Fan didn't waste any time. Upon entering the control center, he called out Wanxiang, the Artifact Spirit, and the others to begin the investigation.

He made a copy of every ancient book and Jade Slip found here.

Xiao Fan wasn't sure what use they would have later… but copying them all definitely couldn't be wrong.

Xiao Fan moved quickly. After copying the books and Jade Slips, he began to explore the mechanics of the control center.

Before long, Xiao Fan had mastered the operating principles of the flying boat…

However, three days had already passed.

Xiao Fan went to the next location to continue exploring the flying boat.
