Chapter 5776: Saving Xiao Xuan

Patriarch Ouyang's gaze was burning. If Xiao Fan successfully brought Xiao Xuan and the Fire Lizard out, the grudge between them and Xiao Fan would be settled.

Afterward, if the Ouyang Family treated Xiao Fan well and curried favor with him, they might be able to gain some benefits.

At the very least, they could not let Xiao Fan help the Yu Family.

This was Patriarch Ouyang's current plan.

If Xiao Fan and his group came out without seeing Xiao Xuan and the Fire Lizard, they would have to gauge Xiao Fan's attitude.

If things went poorly, they would have to kill Xiao Fan and his companions to eliminate future trouble.

Patriarch Ouyang let out a breath and summoned a large number of the Ouyang Family's experts.

Whether they would be enemies or friends with Xiao Fan afterward depended entirely on whether Xiao Fan could bring Xiao Xuan and the Fire Lizard out.

…

Xiao Fan knew exactly what Patriarch Ouyang was thinking.

If something happened to Xiao Xuan, Xiao Fan would inevitably fight the Ouyang Family to the death.

If Xiao Xuan remained unharmed, Xiao Fan would still need to consider his future relationship with the Ouyang Family.

Inside the ruins, Xiao Fan voiced his thoughts.

For the first several dozen miles into the ruins, all dangerous areas were marked on the map provided by Patriarch Ouyang, so they were very safe.

"This Ouyang Family! Truly hateful!" Ye Miaoyin said angrily.

"We cannot blame them entirely for this matter… We are neither relatives nor friends; it is understandable that they would not help," Xiao Fan said in a deep voice.

Xiao Fan could understand the Ouyang Family's actions.

But this was on the condition that Xiao Xuan remained unharmed.

If something happened to Xiao Xuan, even if Xiao Fan understood, he would still annihilate the Ouyang Family.

"Lord Xiao, here… it feels very wrong," Huangfu Hao said in a deep voice.

"What feels wrong? Speak!" Xiao Fan asked.

Huangfu Hao was a Disciple of Immortal King Chiling; although his strength was a bit weak, he definitely had his own insights.

"In this place… I have sensed the residual aura of an Immortal King…"

"The residual aura of an Immortal King??!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"That's right! I cannot be wrong… Although this aura is very faint, it is definitely the aura of an Immortal King…" Huangfu Hao said with certainty.

"Explain clearly," Xiao Fan's expression changed.

Huangfu Hao nodded and revealed everything he knew.

He was a Disciple of Immortal King Chiling and was in frequent contact with Immortal King Chiling.

The aura on an Immortal King was different from that of normal experts; while powerful, it could leave a remnant in the world.

Roughly speaking, wherever an Immortal King was present, they could control the surrounding world and forcibly master the power of the Heavenly Dao.

This was what Immortal King Chiling had told Huangfu Hao, and it was also the first lesson after becoming a Disciple of Immortal King Chiling.

He had taught Huangfu Hao a Secret Technique; once he sensed this kind of aura where the Power of Heaven and Earth had been forcibly altered, it proved that an Immortal King had definitely been here, or was currently here.

This was also to remind Huangfu Hao that if he sensed this kind of aura, he must not be arrogant afterward; even if he reported his master's name, there would still be a possibility of death.

"So that's how it is…" Xiao Fan nodded, staring intently at Huangfu Hao.

"Lord Xiao, you… you want to learn??!"

"That's right, teach me," Xiao Fan nodded.

"This… alright." Huangfu Hao let out a breath and taught Xiao Fan the method for sensing the aura of an Immortal King.

At the same time, Xiao Li and Ye Miaoyin also learned this technique.

Upon using this technique, Xiao Fan indeed sensed that the surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth had indeed been forcibly controlled by a certain force.

"Is this the power of an Immortal King…" Xiao Fan muttered.

Upon reaching the Immortal King level, one could forcibly manipulate the power of the Heavenly Dao. In that case, even if an enemy mastered the Power of the Realm, it would be a futile effort in front of an expert at the Immortal King level.

This was the power of the Immortal King level!!

"That's right! That's why I said… this place is very dangerous… It would be fine if this Immortal King were not here, but if they are…" Huangfu Hao's expression was ugly, and he hesitated to speak further.

The Ouyang Family was merely a Family in the territory of the Tianfu Clan. Perhaps only a few people in the Family had ever seen an expert at the Immortal King level before, so they were not aware of these things.

"Let us continue deeper," Xiao Fan said in a deep voice.
