Chapter 5775: Important Figure

"Half a year isn't long?!" Ye Miaoyin stood up abruptly.

"Miaoyin, calm down." Xiao Fan waved his hand. "With the Fire Lizard there, they won't come to any harm."

The Fire Lizard valued Xiao Xuan; having accompanied Xiao Fan to this ruin, he certainly wouldn't let anything happen to Xiao Xuan easily.

"Alright." Ye Miaoyin exhaled, trying her best to keep herself calm.

"Regarding this matter, I also… sigh… my apologies to you all." Patriarch Ouyang stood up and cupped his fists in a bow toward Xiao Fan and the others.

Xiao Fan suppressed the killing intent in his heart and said with a smile, "It's fine! You can't be blamed for this."

Hearing this, Xiao Li and Ye Miaoyin remained expressionless.

Huangfu Hao took a deep look at Xiao Fan, his admiration for him growing.

Even after something happened to his son, Xiao Fan could still suppress his fury; such forbearance was extraordinary.

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord." Patriarch Ouyang nodded with a smile.

While he said this on the surface, Patriarch Ouyang had actually developed murderous intent.

This matter was of great importance; if it leaked and drew the dissatisfaction of the Tianfu Imperial Clan, the Ouyang Family would be in trouble.

He had confessed to Xiao Fan also to gauge the other party's attitude.

If Xiao Fan pushed his luck, Patriarch Ouyang would have to consider whether to eliminate Xiao Fan and the others and pretend they had never been there.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan took a step back and didn't lose his temper.

Now, if the Ouyang Family cooperated well, they might be able to make amends for their oversight.

After all, unless absolutely necessary, they didn't want to kill Immortal King Chiling's people and plant a hidden danger for their Family.

"Hehe… waste no time. Make the arrangements and send us over," Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes… I'll arrange it immediately." Patriarch Ouyang nodded repeatedly.

That same day, Patriarch Ouyang took Xiao Fan and the others onto the Ouyang Family's teleportation array and left the Ouyang Family.

Over half a day later, they arrived within a gloomy, dense forest; above the Void Realm hung a blood-red moon.

"What place is this?!" Xiao Fan asked.

"This is a place our Ouyang Family discovered by chance… As for its name, we aren't sure either, so we named it the Land of the Blood Moon."

"Alright." Xiao Fan nodded.

According to Patriarch Ouyang, this Land of the Blood Moon was layered with Barriers and Killing Arrays.

They had carefully dismantled them before discovering the entrance to the ruins.

It was certain that the Land of the Blood Moon existed to protect the ruins.

Less than half a day later, they reached the ruin entrance, which was guarded by a large number of Ouyang Family experts.

Xiao Fan believed these people were waiting for Xiao Xuan to appear.

If Xiao Xuan really had taken the primordial immortal qi, he would likely have been caught by these people in one fell swoop.

"Patriarch!"

"Patriarch!"

"How is it? Any movement?!"

"No, it's very quiet."

"…"

Patriarch Ouyang spoke briefly with the experts guarding the ruin entrance.

"Lord Xiao, it's right here…" Patriarch Ouyang pointed at the ruin entrance and said with a smile.

"Alright." Xiao Fan nodded, staring intently at the ruin entrance.

The spiritual energy at the ruin entrance was intense and filled with killing intent.

If one's Physical Body was not strong enough, they would surely be torn apart by this violent spiritual energy.

This showed just how dangerous these ruins were.

"Is there a map of the terrain?!" Xiao Fan asked.

"There's some… but not much." Patriarch Ouyang took out a parchment map and handed it to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan looked at it and exhaled.

It recorded an area of about several dozen miles after entering the ruins.

The areas beyond that had not been explored by the Ouyang Family either…

"Lord Xiao, my apologies, we can't provide much more help than this," Patriarch Ouyang said with an awkward smile.

"Forget it, it's fine." Xiao Fan shook his head with a bitter smile.

Then, Xiao Fan, Ye Miaoyin, Xiao Li, and Huangfu Hao entered the Ancient Ruins.

As Xiao Fan and the others entered, Patriarch Ouyang's expression changed.

"Patriarch, who are these people?!" someone asked.

"Sigh… They are Immortal King Chiling's people. One of them is the Immortal King's Disciple, and another likely holds a very high status," Patriarch Ouyang sighed softly.

"What? They're Immortal King Chiling's people! If we let them know about this! We…"

"Don't worry. We don't have the authority to report across ranks. Even if Immortal King Chiling finds out, he won't blame us; I'm only afraid of the Tianfu Imperial Clan finding out…"

"Then will they tell the Tianfu Imperial Clan?!"

"I'm not sure for now." Patriarch Ouyang shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's see how things develop. If they get some benefits, they probably won't have any contact with the Tianfu Imperial Clan either, and… forget it, we'll talk about it later."

The Ouyang Family was at odds with the Yu Family, so the Ouyang Family was cautious about every move the Yu Family made.

Recently, the Ouyang Family discovered through investigation that the Yu Family had sold off many assets. Although the Yu Family had hidden this deeply, it did not escape the Ouyang Family's investigation.

According to the Ouyang Family's investigation, an important figure had arrived at the Yu Family.

The Ouyang Family was not clear on who this important figure was.

But now, Patriarch Ouyang guessed that there was an eighty percent chance this important figure was Xiao Fan's group.

Although it was still unclear what Xiao Fan had discussed with the Yu Family, currying favor with Xiao Fan's group certainly couldn't be wrong.
