Chapter 610: Gaining Insight

"It's not that I don't want to get close, it's that I don't dare to!" the person hurriedly replied via voice transmission.

"There are three groups of people fighting for the fruit of that spirit tree. Two sides are from major Sects, and the remaining side is from the Imperial Family. Not only is their strength formidable, but if I offend them, won't I be dead for sure once I leave this place?" The man hurriedly explained via voice transmission to Xiao Fan, fearing that Xiao Fan would misunderstand!

Xiao Fan nodded, feeling that what this person said made some sense.

After all, he had already encountered more than one or two people who had threatened him earlier.

"Where is the location?" Xiao Fan asked.

"It's to the west…" The man paused in his voice transmission, then changed his tone: "Big Brother, if you let me go, I'll lead the way, but you must promise to release me afterward!!"

"Hmm??" Xiao Fan was stunned, not expecting this person to use this as a condition.

He thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Very well."

The man's expression visibly relaxed. Remaining in this Secret Realm meant that he might still have a chance to obtain an Opportunity!

Xiao Fan glanced at the man's injuries and tossed him a Storage Pouch containing a few grade 4 pills.

The other party's Storage Pouch was in his possession; without the help of the Medicinal Pill, it would take at least several months for this man to recover somewhat.

But he could not wait. According to what this man said, a day had already passed since the grape spirit tree was discovered.

After consuming the grade 4 pill, the man's Qi stabilized significantly, and his bones also recovered somewhat. Although he could not reach his Peak, he was at least capable of talking and traveling.

"You've recovered, so lead the way!" Xiao Fan said.

"Alright, Big Brother!" The man replied, then began to lead the way!

Xiao Fan was surprised. He hadn't expected this person to be so cooperative. He had assumed this man would cause some kind of trouble, and he had even prepared to kill him at any moment!

But the result was unexpectedly smooth!

While traveling…

"Why aren't you running away?" Xiao Fan asked in surprise. "Are you not afraid that I will kill you afterward!"

"Big Brother… you spoke so many principles earlier, so I believe you are a person who values integrity. Therefore, you won't lay a hand on me!" The man replied with a sincere expression.

Xiao Fan: "…"

The other party had actually taken the words he said while attacking as the standard for judging Xiao Fan's integrity.

For a moment, Xiao Fan was left speechless. Even Xiao Fan himself felt that if he didn't let the other party go, he would be a person who broke his word.

"Big Brother, my name is Wei Zhongshan. May I ask for your honorable name?" the man asked very respectfully!

"Xiao Fan!" Xiao Fan said indifferently.

The two had been traveling for two hours, and this Wei Zhongshan had been flattering him the entire way, to the point where even Xiao Fan was surprised!

He began to admire Wei Zhongshan's shameless spirit, while at the same time, he couldn't understand what the other party's intention was in saying these things!

"Big Brother, you are truly a man of great talent and Bufan, one look and I can tell you are a True Dragon!"

"Big Brother Xiao, you are so young, you aren't married yet, are you? I have a younger sister at home, sixteen years old, beautiful as a flower; why don't I introduce her to you?"

"Big Brother, your little brother sees that you have an extraordinary air of heroism, and I am deeply impressed by you. I wish to follow you, I wonder if Big Brother would agree!"

"…"

Wei Zhongshan offered a continuous stream of praise, even willing to sell out his own sister, all just to follow Xiao Fan!

"You!" Xiao Fan was speechless. He never dreamed that there would be such a shameless person!

Beaten so miserably by him, yet still wanting to follow him in the end?

"Big Brother, I am sincere!" Wei Zhongshan guaranteed repeatedly, almost to the point of swearing to the heavens and kowtowing!

"Fine, alright then!" Xiao Fan exhaled, temporarily agreeing.

After all, he still had to rely on this Wei Zhongshan to lead the way for now. As for what happens afterward, he would wait and see how this Wei Zhongshan performed.

If his performance was truly good, Xiao Fan could consider letting this Wei Zhongshan follow him.

After all, the Secret Realm was very large. It was impossible for him to rob nearly twenty thousand people all by himself.

Furthermore, there were many people from major forces and large Families who had entered by joining forces, so having one more person by Xiao Fan's side would be good.

Moreover, this Wei Zhongshan had the strength of the 8th layer of the Yuanhun Realm and was a Genius capable of challenging those above his level. His movement techniques were so strange that even Xiao Fan had almost suffered a major loss.

"Are you a descendant of a large Family?" Xiao Fan looked at Wei Zhongshan and asked curiously.

"No, Big Brother!" Wei Zhongshan said respectfully: "I am currently a Loose Cultivator, and I entered by passing the City Lord's Mansion competition!"

Just like Chu Feng, this Wei Zhongshan did not belong to any large Family or Sect force, but had entered by winning the competition among the sixty-four cities.

Xiao Fan asked doubtfully: "Given your strength, it wouldn't be difficult to join a Sect. Why didn't you join one, instead choosing to be a Loose Cultivator?"

"Big Brother… I was originally a descendant of a Family, but my Family was wiped out. The major Sects were afraid of being implicated, so they didn't dare to take me in, and those enemies didn't wipe us all out…"

Wei Zhongshan recounted his past, which was very tragic!

Xiao Fan did not know if it was true or false, so he just nodded in response.

The two flew toward the west, heading toward the spirit tree that Wei Zhongshan had mentioned!

…

Inside the Wing Imperial Palace…

Inside the light screen leading to the Secret Realm, several young Geniuses were teleported out, looking disheveled and covered in wounds!

Forfeiting in the Secret Realm didn't require waiting for three months; one would be teleported out immediately!

"What is going on with you all?"

The people who were teleported out were all Disciples of the Hengyue Sect and the Yaolong Sect, wearing blue and black robes!

The Elders of these two Sects asked.
