Chapter 5854: Huantian City

"A path to self-destruction… sigh…" Xiao Fan sighed, cupped his fists in a salute to the Pavilion Master, and turned to leave.

Xiao Fan rarely saw such pure-hearted people anymore.

As for slaying Yun Borong, it was no difficult task for Xiao Fan.

Leaving the Mission Pavilion, Xiao Fan departed directly from the Shuihan Sect.

Xiao Xuan, Xiao Li, and Xiao Qing were not at all surprised when they learned of this.

A mere Yun Borong at the third level of the True Immortal Spirit Realm certainly had no power to parry before Xiao Fan.

An Elder who had just entered the Illusion Immortal Realm taking on the mission to slay Yun Borong caused quite a stir in the Shuihan Sect.

Everyone felt that Xiao Fan was doomed!!

Of course.

As to how things would actually turn out, they would have to wait until later to know.

Just like that, Xiao Fan left the Shuihan Sect and, based on the information provided by the sect, headed toward the place where Yun Borong had most recently appeared.

"This Yun Borong… is not simple…" Xiao Fan muttered.

He had reviewed the records concerning Yun Borong; this person was very strong, but his most powerful aspect was his bizarre strength.

According to the Shuihan Sect's records, Yun Borong had originally been very strong, but not to the point of exceeding the Shuihan Sect's control.

But suddenly one day, Yun Borong's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and he severely injured an Elder of the Shuihan Sect before fleeing without a trace.

Afterward, the Shuihan Sect defined Yun Borong as a traitor and had never ceased their pursuit of him.

Furthermore, discovering clues about Yun Borong could earn one a large amount of contribution points within the Shuihan Sect.

Xiao Fan's reasons were, firstly, to earn contribution points, and secondly, he was interested in Yun Borong.

Otherwise, Xiao Fan could have completely taken on some simpler missions.

Ting Yue Immortal King's territory, Eastern Province.

Xiao Fan arrived here and went to the nearest city to investigate news about Yun Borong.

The nearest city was named Huantian City.

The City Lord was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ting Yue Immortal King; if any major events occurred, they would report directly to the Ting Yue Immortal King.

After entering Huantian City, Xiao Fan began asking if anyone had heard news of Yun Borong.

After visiting many stopping points, the final conclusion reached was that the last time news of Yun Borong had been heard was three years ago.

At that time, Yun Borong had appeared, and not long after, an Elder from the Shuihan Sect had arrived to investigate news about him.

It was just a pity that when Yun Borong came to Huantian City, he only showed his face once before disappearing.

Xiao Fan became interested in this news.

He just showed his face and left?!

What was Yun Borong trying to do?!

Or rather, did Yun Borong come to Huantian City to meet someone?

Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment, then sent a message to call the Fire Lizard to Huantian City, and explained the matter regarding Yun Borong.

"Xiao Fan, you're right… this Yun Borong definitely has a problem." The Fire Lizard nodded heavily, looking solemn.

"Exactly, I think so too. For no reason, he ran to Huantian City and then left inexplicably… Why did he have to come to Huantian City?"

"So you suspect…"

"Yun Borong came to Huantian City to meet someone."

"Someone? Who could it be?!"

"…"

Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment before deciding to use the tactic of luring the snake out of its hole.

The simplest method was for Xiao Fan to impersonate Yun Borong.

The Shuihan Sect had many records regarding Yun Borong, so it was easy for Xiao Fan to impersonate his appearance.

After impersonating Yun Borong, Xiao Fan asked the Fire Lizard to keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals.

After discussing it, Xiao Fan and the Fire Lizard began to act separately.

Xiao Fan appeared with Yun Borong's face and walked on the streets of Huantian City.

Regarding Yun Borong, only the Shuihan Sect issued a wanted notice throughout the entire territory of the Ting Yue Immortal King.

Therefore, it was actually fine for Yun Borong to appear openly in Huantian City.

Soon, someone recognized Yun Borong's identity.

Seeing Yun Borong and immediately reporting to the Shuihan Sect could earn a significant reward of immortal spirit stones!!

Consequently, the entire Huantian City became bustling with activity.

Xiao Fan was very calm; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

During this period, the Fire Lizard kept a close watch on the movements in Huantian City, wanting to see if there was anything suspicious.

The so-called suspicious matters were simply abnormal occurrences.

Normally, if Yun Borong appeared, Huantian City would be stirred up, and everyone would rush to contact the Shuihan Sect.

But if someone did not contact them, or took the initiative to contact Yun Borong, that would prove that person had a problem.

In fact, Xiao Fan was also waiting, wanting to see if anyone would take the initiative to contact him.

Just like that, Xiao Fan waited for the better part of a day…

The news of Yun Borong appearing in Huantian City also spread widely.

Finally, someone took the initiative to contact Xiao Fan.

"Follow me!" This person wore a bronze mask Magical Artifact, obscuring their appearance, but the voice was that of a woman.

"Alright." Xiao Fan nodded and followed the woman as she left.

The woman led Xiao Fan and departed directly from Huantian City.
