Chapter 5943: Soul-Devouring

Xiao Fan murmured, finally understanding why Soul-Burning Valley was a Forbidden Land.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out the world-fixing disk.

Using the power of the world-fixing disk, he forcibly suppressed the strange power of devouring in the surroundings.

Xiao Fan exhaled a breath of stale air.

If he left Soul-Burning Valley now and Leng Zhanfeng and the others were outside, it would be dangerous.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Fan decided to recover from his injuries in Soul-Burning Valley.

He would recover from his injuries first, then take things one step at a time.

Thinking this, Xiao Fan carved out a cave and set up numerous Magic Arrays to isolate his aura.

In a blink, half a year passed…

Xiao Fan's injuries had completely healed, and he left the cave.

"People of the Leng family, we will not rest until one of us is dead…" Xiao Fan murmured, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Xiao Fan took a deep look into the depths of Soul-Burning Valley.

During his half-year stay, Xiao Fan had sensed that there was a Mysterious Creature in the depths of Soul-Burning Valley.

The reason for the damage to his Divine Soul, and even the situation of being devoured, was all caused by this Mysterious Creature.

Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment and decided to leave first.

As he was now, even with the world-fixing disk in hand, he might not be able to deal with the Mysterious Creature.

Thinking this, Xiao Fan intended to leave.

"Junior, do not be in such a rush to leave."

At this moment, an aged voice rang out within Soul-Burning Valley.

"Hm? Who are you?!" Xiao Fan frowned and took out the tianming sword, remaining vigilant of his surroundings.

"Hehe… Didn't you already sense me?" the aged voice chuckled.

"Senior! This Junior did not intend to disturb you! Please forgive me." Xiao Fan whispered.

"Hehehe… It is no matter. Junior, come, shall we meet and have a chat?"

"No." Xiao Fan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Senior's strength is too great, and this Junior fears encountering danger."

"Hahaha… You are very vigilant. Very good, this point is very good, very good indeed."

Hearing the other party's praise, Xiao Fan was even more surprised.

He felt that the other party did not have good intentions.

"Senior, this Junior must be going. Farewell, we shall meet again."

"Junior, since you have come, do not be in such a hurry to leave… Come, let us meet. Rest assured, I have no malice toward you."

As the words fell, everything around Xiao Fan changed.

Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment and said vigilantly, "Senior, what are you doing?!"

"Hehehe… It is nothing. I have already merged with Soul-Burning Valley. Anywhere you are in Soul-Burning Valley is within my grasp," the aged voice chuckled.

Xiao Fan was stunned, suddenly feeling lingering fear.

If what the other party said was true.

Did that not mean that when he was recovering from his injuries, he was under the other party's control?

"Hehehe… You have guessed it, have you not? That is correct. I have been watching you the entire time; your every move is clear to me."

"Senior, you… please forgive me." Xiao Fan gave a wry smile.

The next moment, countless vines gathered, transforming into an aged tree person.

"Senior, is this your true form?!"

"True form? Hehehe… I have no body. What is a true form? I do not care about such things." The tree person shook his head.

Xiao Fan nodded and said nothing more.

If what the tree person in front of him said was true, and the other party was Soul-Burning Valley, it actually did not matter.

After all, having grown to this point, Xiao Fan had experienced far too much.

"Senior, what business do you have with me?!" Xiao Fan asked.

"Business? Hehehe… Junior, take a guess."

"I cannot guess." Xiao Fan shook his head and said straightforwardly, "Senior, this Junior still has matters to attend to!"

"Wait! You are so young and yet so impatient? That is not good." The tree person feigned anger and glared at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan gave a wry smile, "Senior, if you have something to say, you can speak plainly."

He had been recovering from his injuries in Soul-Burning Valley, and the other party had not disturbed him, only appearing after his injuries had recovered.

This proved that the other party had no malice.

"Hehehe… I wish to leave Soul-Burning Valley, and I want you to help me."

"Help? How can I help?" Xiao Fan frowned slightly.

"That Magical Artifact in your hand is not bad. It is a chaos divine treasure, is it not?" the tree person chuckled.

Xiao Fan understood that the other party was talking about the world-fixing disk.

"Senior, why do you not leave on your own?"

"I cannot leave. Sigh…" the tree person sighed gloomily.

"Senior, who exactly are you? Why are you here?!"

"Hehehe… All of this is a long story." The tree person gave a wry smile and began to recount his origins.

According to the tree person, he had no true form; he was merely a Soul-Devourer.

He had constantly been devouring the Divine Souls of others to strengthen himself.

But one day, he was discovered by Immortal Emperor Wuliang, who realized how dangerous he was and then sealed him in Soul-Burning Valley.

Many people came to Soul-Burning Valley afterward, and those people all became the tree person's rations.

But not long after, Immortal King Ting Yue took jurisdiction over this place and designated Soul-Burning Valley as a Forbidden Land, not allowing anyone to approach.

"Rations? You devoured them to strengthen yourself?" Xiao Fan frowned, "Why did Immortal Emperor Wuliang not kill you himself?!"

"Hehehe… He could not kill me." The tree person shook his head.
