Chapter 488: Revenge

Xiao Fan spoke with a firm tone, his gaze shifting toward Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others.

"Sect Master, Elders, thank you…"

Xiao Fan didn't say anything more. Facing such a powerful opponent, they had still been willing to stand and fight; to Xiao Fan, this was a great kindness.

The opponent was terrifyingly strong, something Xiao Fan knew better than anyone.

Let alone that old man, even against that young man, he was far from being a match; they simply weren't on the same level…

…

After staying in Xiao Fan's room for a while, Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others left, returning directly to the Jixian Sect.

They actually had many matters to attend to back at the Jixian Sect.

Before leaving, Kong Ping left behind many Medicinal Pills, and Huangfu Cheng did the same.

Although Xiao Fan's injuries were severe, with these Medicinal Pills, it wouldn't take long for him to fully recover.

Long Caiwei also left with them, as per Xiao Fan's request…

The only one who didn't leave was Lu Yueshan…

She was completely stunned. Finding out Xiao Fan was a live-in son-in-law had been surprising enough, but then such high-level powerhouses had appeared during the wedding.

After staying at the Long family home for another two days, Xiao Fan also departed.

The Long Mansion was now shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. For such a thing to happen on a day of great joy was hard for anyone to accept.

It wouldn't be long before word of this event spread throughout Wuhuang Province. The arrival of powerhouses from other major provinces was an extraordinary shock to Wuhuang Province.

Before leaving, Xiao Fan left several million Spirit Stones for the Long family. This amount was nothing to him.

But for the Long family, it was of great significance, allowing them to better expand their influence and provide clan members with more cultivation resources each month.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan left some Grade Three and Grade Four Medicinal Pills for Ancestor Long Zizai. The latter's cultivation had been stuck in the Tongtian Realm for many years, and it was likely he would soon achieve a Breakthrough after taking the pills.

…

"Where are we going?"

Lu Yueshan looked at Xiao Fan and asked.

"We'll find a secluded place first. I need to achieve a Breakthrough!"

Xiao Fan spoke. His injuries had already healed. In fact, he had considered just snatching Lu Yueshan's Storage Pouch and driving her away.

After all, having a woman following him around was indeed a hindrance.

Now, Xiao Fan only wanted to become stronger.

"Tianshen Prefecture…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself, a ruthless light flashing in his eyes. He swore he would avenge the humiliation he suffered and take Long Miaoyin back.

He wouldn't give up on himself. He had the star chart, along with countless resources and Cultivation Techniques to support him.

He had the Enlightenment Seed, and also Wanxiang…

It had only taken him half a year to reach the Fifth Level of the Tongtian Realm; why should he give up!

He wanted revenge.

He wanted to slaughter that Red-haired Youth.

Two days later…

Deep within a dense forest…

There was no one for a hundred miles around; it was a remote, ancient forest. Xiao Fan sat cross-legged near a waterfall within the woods.

Dozens of miles away, the Golden-Haired Lion and Lu Yueshan stood together, looking toward Xiao Fan's direction.

While at the Long Mansion, Xiao Fan had been too preoccupied with being intimate with Long Miaoyin to let it out…

Now that they were in the wild, he had finally let the lion out.

As for Lu Yueshan, given her arrogant nature, she wouldn't run away on her own.

Beneath the waterfall…

Xiao Fan sat cross-legged, his aura steadily rising…

His eyes were tightly shut as terrifying cyclones of Qi emerged around his body…

"Boom!"

"Rumble…"

A series of sounds erupted, creating a startlingly loud roar that resonated for dozens of miles around Xiao Fan.

The shockwaves caused the birds and beasts in the forest to cry out in alarm, fleeing in all directions as if it were the end of the world.

The surrounding ground cracked inch by inch, the pressure terrifying and appalling…

Xiao Fan's cultivation broke through to the Middle Stage of the Fifth Level of the Tongtian Realm.

However, he didn't stop there. After another fifteen minutes…

"Boom…"

"Rumble…"

The massive sounds continued incessantly as Xiao Fan began a series of Breakthroughs.

His Foundation was exceptionally stable; he could have broken through long ago, but he had been suppressing it.

Finding this deserted place made it the perfect spot for his Realm Breakthroughs.

Half a day later…

The powerful vibrations caused everything within a hundred miles of him to shake violently.

It was a terror that seemed to tear the heavens and split the earth…

In the distance, Lu Yueshan and the Golden-Haired Lion watched, dumbfounded…

"Awoo…"

Xiao Jin let out a low roar, appearing somewhat frightened.

"Coward," Lu Yueshan glanced at Xiao Jin, though she was also deeply shocked.

The commotion caused by Xiao Fan's Breakthrough was simply too immense and inexplicably shocking; even a Breakthrough to the Xuandan Realm likely wouldn't be this loud.

Xiao Fan didn't come out…

After his cultivation reached the Early Stage of the Sixth Level of the Tongtian Realm, it gradually stabilized…

His gaze sharpened as he took five ancient artifacts out of his Storage Pouch.

Among them were items like daggers and engraving knives, their surfaces covered in rust…

As soon as these things appeared, the Enlightenment Seed and Wanxiang inside Xiao Fan's body became restless…

Each one trembled violently, overcome with excitement…

These two little fellows knew Xiao Fan had been in a bad mood lately and hadn't dared to cause a fuss—especially the Enlightenment Seed, which hadn't even brought up the idea of devouring Wood-attribute Spirit Stones…

Xiao Fan exhaled. "They're all yours. Go ahead and devour them."
