Chapter 581: Setting Off, Imperial Capital

Xiao Fan had been careless; he had completely forgotten that a Heaven Rank Magical Artifact required binding. After all, he had never owned a Magical Artifact that needed binding before. When he bound the star chart back then, he had simply dripped his own blood inside the star chart!

"How do I bind it?" Xiao Fan asked, his expression unfriendly. He needed to complete the binding before Zhangsun Ning returned. If she really had designs on the tianzhu sword, what would he do? Once he bound it to himself, that would be the end of it!

"This… drip your Essence Blood onto the sword body," the black sword said, finally caving in. Mostly, it was because it saw Xiao Fan's face turning dark, and it felt that if it didn't answer honestly, it would definitely suffer more!

Xiao Fan forced a drop of Essence Blood from his palm and dripped it onto the black sword!

The tianzhu sword did not resist; this time it was very obedient. As the Essence Blood dripped onto the sword body, it slowly seeped inside, and the runes on the black sword began to flicker…

At this moment, Xiao Fan felt that he could communicate directly with the tianzhu sword's artifact spirit through his Divine Thought.

"Is this binding?" Xiao Fan asked.

"That's right, you can communicate with me directly using your Divine Thought," the artifact spirit answered honestly. It wasn't lying this time; the binding was truly complete. There was no helping it; it was scared. It felt that if it didn't behave, Xiao Fan might keep using it to poke the anuses of Yao Beasts!

"Very good!" Xiao Fan communicated with his Divine Thought, confirming that he had successfully bound the black sword.

A cold smile hung on the corner of Xiao Fan's mouth. He wiped away the blood foam that had flowed from his lips again, then turned into a stream of light and left…

Following this, in this dense forest, the roars of beasts could be heard every little while!

These roars were exceptionally painful, and one could vaguely hear the shame and annoyance amidst the pain!

"Ah… little beast, you are truly a beast!"

"God damn it, I've already bound myself to you, why do you have to treat me like this!!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong!!"

"No, Master, Master, I was wrong, please don't keep poking my anus!"

"…"

After being used by Xiao Fan to poke over twenty anuses, the artifact spirit had completely surrendered.

"Master, even if you beat me to death, I will never betray you. Rest assured, I will be your most loyal subordinate from now on!!" the artifact spirit begged repeatedly.

After the artifact spirit had witnessed over twenty different Yao Beast anuses… it was completely broken.

"Very good. I hope you remember what you just said, otherwise…" Xiao Fan sneered, then condensed the moisture in the air to clean off the nauseating yellow substance on the sword body.

"Rest assured, I… even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't dare!" the artifact spirit promised.

Before long, Zhangsun Ning returned, her expression extremely ugly.

She felt that she had been played by Xiao Fan. When she touched the black sword earlier, why didn't he say anything? He had to wait until she had touched it for a long time before reminding her!

"Xiao Fan!" Zhangsun Ning looked at Xiao Fan, her expression grim.

"Uh… I'm here!" Xiao Fan replied.

"Brat, you actually set me up just now. Let's see if I don't beat you to death!" The more Zhangsun Ning thought about it, the angrier she became, and she attacked directly!

Xiao Fan couldn't beat her, and he knew this matter was indeed his own fault, so he ran away!

However, Zhangsun Ning's strength was too great, and she completely suppressed him!

In the end, Xiao Fan was beaten up by Zhangsun Ning, which finally relieved much of her anger.

Now, Zhangsun Ning was genuinely disgusted by the tianzhu sword from the bottom of her heart. A broken sword that had just poked anuses—even if it was a Heaven Rank Magical Artifact, Zhangsun Ning loathed it!

"Let's go, let's leave this place." Zhangsun Ning looked at Xiao Fan, who was on the ground coughing up blood from her beating, and said.

Xiao Fan stumbled to his feet and nodded… There was no helping it; the trouble he caused would have to be paid for sooner or later! The two continued on their way toward the east.

"Where are we going?" Xiao Fan asked.

"We're going to the imperial capital of Yihuang Province to see if there are any Grade 6 or Grade 7 Medicinal Pills!" Zhangsun Ning said, her expression unfriendly.

"…Didn't you say before that it was very dangerous and we couldn't go there?" Xiao Fan was speechless, feeling that women were truly fickle.

"I said we couldn't attract the attention of the imperial family, I didn't say we couldn't enter the imperial capital!" Zhangsun Ning said, her tone unfriendly!

The fact that Xiao Fan used a sword that had poked anuses to make her touch it—she would remember that for the rest of her life!

She never imagined that it was because Xiao Fan was afraid she would snatch the black sword away that he had acted that way. After all, who wouldn't bind a Heaven Rank Magical Artifact immediately upon obtaining it?

Xiao Fan didn't say a word, afraid of angering this woman, so he decided it was better to just obediently follow along.

At the same time, he was curious that Zhangsun Ning seemed very familiar with Yihuang Province.

"Have you been here before?"

"Nonsense, Longwu City sells overall maps of Yihuang Province; wouldn't it be fine to just buy one!" Zhangsun Ning glared at him.

Xiao Fan felt that this woman wouldn't forgive him for a while.

…

Longwu City.

City Lord Ming Long had already contacted the imperial capital and told them about Xiao Fan.

The news of Xiao Fan's Breakthrough caused a sensation within the imperial capital.

To trigger a Heavenly Tribulation upon promoting from the Xuandan Realm to the Yuanhun Realm—a Prodigy, a peerless Prodigy!

The King of Yihuang Province really wanted to meet this Xiao Fan in person; after all, this was the kind of Prodigy Genius they needed.

But Xiao Fan had already left, and his whereabouts were unknown!

In the end, news came from the imperial capital to let the second-place Chu Fan replace Xiao Fan as the first, and go to the imperial capital!

City Lord Ming Long was to go along, with Chu Fan accompanying him, and City Lord Du Ling was also among those following.

Xiao Fan had run off, but the reward belonging to the City Lord still fell to him!
