Chapter 5857: Give Me the Map

"Dead…" Yun Yanran clenched her fists, speaking coldly.

"The Shuihan Sect gave my father a deadline. If he appeared with the map, they would spare my mother, but he didn't…"

Yun Yanran didn't say the rest.

But Xiao Fan could guess exactly what had happened.

Xiao Fan felt that Yun Borong was not in the wrong regarding this matter.

Even if Yun Borong had appeared, the Shuihan Sect would not have released his wife.

It was just that Yun Yanran could not accept this.

In fact, even if Yun Yanran knew the truth in her heart and understood the methods of the Shuihan Sect, she probably still could not forgive Yun Borong.

"So? After that, you and Yun Borong went into hiding under assumed names, right?" Xiao Fan asked.

"You could say that, but not entirely." Yun Yanran sneered.

"My father served the Shuihan Sect for so many years and knew countless secrets of the Shuihan Sect. Since they acted so ruthlessly, we had no need to be polite!"

"So? What did you do?!"

"Hehehe… My father and I leaked all the secrets of the Shuihan Sect! It brought endless trouble to the Shuihan Sect! This is also the reason for the decline of the Shuihan Sect!"

Hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded heavily.

After arriving in the territory of Immortal King Ting Yue, he had investigated various factions.

Originally, the Shuihan Sect was very strong, but it began to decline for no apparent reason.

It turned out to be the handiwork of Yun Borong and Yun Yanran.

According to Yun Yanran, they leaked all the evil deeds the Shuihan Sect had secretly committed.

In the end, even Immortal King Ting Yue found out!

It is easy to imagine how sensational the matter was back then!

Because of this, the Shuihan Sect began to decline and paid a heavy price.

They also hated Yun Borong to the core and had always wanted to eliminate him, while incidentally seizing the map in his hands.

Unfortunately, Yun Borong understood the Shuihan Sect too well.

As long as Yun Borong was determined to hide, the Shuihan Sect could not find him at all.

Yun Yanran was different from Yun Borong; she had a special Physique, a Physique known as the Xiangli Immortal Body.

This Physique could change one's appearance and aura every hundred years—a complete transformation!

Even the aura emitted by the Divine Soul could be completely altered.

This matter concerned his daughter, so Yun Borong had always hidden it from the Shuihan Sect.

There was no other way.

After all, once a special Physique like the Xiangli Immortal Body was known to the Shuihan Sect or other powerful Sect experts, it would surely bring great trouble to Yun Yanran.

Unexpectedly, it became Yun Yanran's means of survival.

Later, Yun Yanran changed her appearance and aura and opened an Auction House in Huantian City.

She secretly contacted Yun Borong. Yun Yanran earned immortal spirit stones in Huantian City and gathered information about the Shuihan Sect.

Yun Borong would Cultivate outside and, while he was at it, kill members of the Shuihan Sect.

It was also because of Yun Borong that the Disciples of the Shuihan Sect were all in danger.

"Telling me all this, aren't you afraid I might act against you?" Xiao Fan took a sip of tea and said indifferently.

"What is the use of being afraid? I am no match for you. If I don't speak the truth and a misunderstanding arises, hehehe…" Yun Yanran sneered a few times, then shook her head and gave a bitter smile.

"You are very smart." Xiao Fan nodded without saying more.

This was indeed the case; if Yun Yanran were not honest, things would only become complicated.

If Xiao Fan discovered a flaw and attacked Yun Yanran, it would be Yun Yanran who would be in trouble.

Xiao Fan was very calm and did not speak for a long while.

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Yanran whispered, "The Shuihan Sect is not a good Sect."

"I didn't know before, but I know now." Xiao Fan nodded.

"Then… why did you join the Shuihan Sect?" Yun Yanran looked into Xiao Fan's eyes and asked, "With your strength and talent, you could completely join a more powerful Sect."

The current Shuihan Sect was in great decline, far from what it used to be.

Xiao Fan was only at the Illusion Immortal Realm; joining other more powerful Sects would be more than enough, and he would even be groomed as a priority.

Yet he chose the Shuihan Sect!

This made Yun Yanran have to think more about it.

"Hehehe… My goal is not the Shuihan Sect, but to become a Guard for Immortal King Ting Yue."

"Immortal King Ting Yue? I see." Hearing this, Yun Yanran was surprised for a moment, then showed a look of realization.

"Indeed! Seeking refuge with Immortal King Ting Yue! With your talent, you will definitely soar to great heights!"

"Hehehe… That's right, following an Immortal King must be better than joining a Sect." Xiao Fan smiled.

Both sides were very honest.

Of course.

They each also hid their own secrets.

After some conversation, Yun Yanran slowly spoke, "Since that is the case! What would it take for you to be willing to help me hide this secret?"

"Regarding your identity? Right?"

"Correct." Yun Yanran nodded.

She was a smart person; don't look at how they were currently having a normal face-to-face conversation.

But her life and death were in Xiao Fan's hands.

The other party was still a member of the Shuihan Sect and could easily capture her and exchange her for a reward at the Shuihan Sect.

Since the other party was willing to talk to her, he must have his own intentions.

"Hehe… You are truly very smart. It's simple: tell me the secret about the map, and! Give the map to me!"
