Chapter 5517: No Return Date

"Consider yourselves lucky…" Xiao Fan smiled and looked back at Saint Evil Venerable, leaving a Restriction in his mind.

"Saint Evil Venerable, you had better behave and listen to me. Otherwise, hehehe… you know the consequences."

Saint Evil Venerable's expression turned extremely gloomy, but he didn't dare to resist and silently nodded.

Afterwards, everyone went to the main hall of Shengtian Mansion, where the Eight Heroes of Shengtian arrived one after another.

During the earlier battle, Saint Evil Venerable had not let them go out, wanting to preserve a spark of hope for Shengtian Mansion.

Upon seeing Xiao Fan and Xiao Li, Cheng Yushi was shocked.

"Xiao Fan, you… how are you this strong now?!" Cheng Yushi looked astonished.

"It's alright, just ordinarily strong." Xiao Fan smiled faintly.

His relationship with Cheng Yushi was not bad, so he did not make things difficult for him.

But for the others who had grudges against him or had targeted Tianming Holy Land, Xiao Fan intended to settle the score.

But before settling scores, Xiao Fan needed to consolidate the power of Shengtian Mansion; he still needed their help.

Now that he had suppressed the creatures of the Huanming Clan and defeated Saint Evil Venerable.

Xiao Fan had completely taken over the power of Shengtian Mansion and sent Cheng Yushi and the others to handle this matter.

Cheng Yushi and the others were obedient and quick, and they completed the task very soon.

All members of Shengtian Mansion who were outside, upon hearing the news, rushed towards Shengtian Mansion.

During this time, Xiao Fan interrogated Saint Evil Venerable alone, wanting to learn the truth from him.

Part of the truth was consistent with what Xiao Fan had guessed, and Saint Evil Venerable told him everything he knew.

"Back then… the Three Ancient Ancestors defeated various powerful enemies and finally opened the gate of transcendence, but the result… on the other side of the gate was a purgatory… It was a conspiracy of the Wuliang Immortal Realm. They wanted to occupy every small plane without any effort, but the strength of the Three Ancient Ancestors far exceeded their imagination! The Three Ancient Ancestors defeated the gatekeepers! Then they quickly returned to the Ancient Burial Holy Land! They wanted to take us away… to pursue a higher Realm." Saint Evil Venerable said in a low voice, his face filled with melancholy.

"And then? You didn't go! Right?!" Xiao Fan asked in a deep voice.

"That's right, I didn't go… I felt that this journey was dangerous and feared that the chances of survival were slim, so the Three Ancient Ancestors left me behind to guard the Ancient Burial Holy Land. This matter was a secret; everyone who knew about it has already left except for me…" Saint Evil Venerable sighed.

Xiao Fan remained silent upon hearing this, contemplating Saint Evil Venerable's words.

Indeed.

This kind of thing was shocking, and when the Three Ancient Ancestors would return remained an unknown.

Leaving the Ancient Burial Holy Land and heading to the Wuliang Immortal Realm was indeed very dangerous.

According to Saint Evil Venerable, experts like the King of Ten Thousand Weapons who were loyal to the Three Ancient Ancestors had all left with them.

At this moment, the Soul Fragment of the King of Ten Thousand Weapons inside the star chart also finally understood the reason.

"So… that's what happened…" The King of Ten Thousand Weapons revealed a look of relief.

Xiao Fan thought for a moment and continued to question Saint Evil Venerable.

"And after that? After the Three Ancient Ancestors left, was there no news?!" Xiao Fan asked.

"Gone, completely gone. During that period, I would go to the Outer Realm Battlefield once every hundred years, but… there was no news, and the gate to the Wuliang Immortal Realm had also disappeared." Saint Evil Venerable shook his head.

"Hehehe… and so, you developed the idea of establishing your own sect, attacked the Ancient Burial Holy Land. Without the Three Ancient Ancestors and the top experts under them, you easily destroyed the Ancient Burial Holy Land, right?!" Xiao Fan sneered.

"Yes… that is correct." Saint Evil Venerable was also very frank and nodded directly to admit it.

"I wished to pursue a higher Realm. The Ancient Burial Holy Land had countless treasures that could help me achieve a Breakthrough, so…" Saint Evil Venerable sighed heavily.

In the eyes of Saint Evil Venerable, even if the Three Ancient Ancestors were not dead, they could not return.

Therefore, he destroyed the Ancient Burial Holy Land and took away all the treasures of the Ancient Burial Holy Land.

This was also the fundamental reason for the destruction of the Ancient Burial Holy Land!

Perhaps the Three Ancient Ancestors themselves did not realize that their departure would be indefinite, with no return date.

"Hehehe… Saint Evil Venerable, you really deserve to die." Xiao Fan sneered.

"I… I know I was wrong, but continuing on, the result would not have changed. I… I also needed power! My strength was not enough! How could I protect the Ancient Burial Holy Land?!" Saint Evil Venerable explained desperately.

Xiao Fan naturally did not believe Saint Evil Venerable's explanation.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Three Ancient Ancestors were not there, he destroyed the Ancient Burial Holy Land and established Shengtian Mansion himself.
