Chapter 6140: Protecting to the Best of One’s Ability

"I had nothing to do, so I came for a stroll," Xiao Fan said with a smile.

Not long ago, Xiao Fan had just visited the Leng family. His sudden arrival at Soul-Burning Valley surprised Leng Qingfeng.

Soon, Xiao Fan met Fang Nan and Lin Pojun.

After Xiao Fan left, they had been living well following Leng Qingfeng.

Because of Xiao Fan, Leng Qingfeng took great care of them.

However, by comparison, the two of them preferred to be with Xiao Fan and follow by his side.

It was just that it wasn't convenient for people to follow Xiao Fan right now.

Even Xiao Xuan and the others had been staying inside the star chart and hadn't come out to the outside world.

After a brief catch-up, Xiao Fan headed to Soul-Burning Valley alone.

Leng Qingfeng's responsibility was to guard Soul-Burning Valley, but Xiao Fan was an exception and wasn't blocked at all.

Soon, Xiao Fan entered Soul-Burning Valley.

As soon as he stepped into Soul-Burning Valley, he heard a surprised voice.

"Kid, you've made rapid progress."

In the next moment, vines of heaven and earth stretched out, forming the body of a Treant, who looked at Xiao Fan with a smile.

"Yes, Senior, I've had some good luck," Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"Good luck? Hehe… I don't think so." The Treant shook his head and gave Xiao Fan a deep look.

"You're not simple; you even have Immortal King Ting Yue's protective restriction inside you."

"Huh? protective restriction?" Xiao Fan was stunned. "What's that?"

"It means the other party left a method within you. Once you encounter danger, her Incarnation will immediately go to protect you," the Treant spoke indifferently, sizing Xiao Fan up.

"Ah? I see." Xiao Fan was stunned, touched his chest, and suddenly understood something.

Earlier, Xiao Fan's Power of the Mortal Immortal had suddenly trembled for a moment.

Afterward, it returned to calm, and he didn't take it seriously.

As it turned out, it was actually because of Immortal King Ting Yue.

"Then Senior, wouldn't I be… here?"

"Don't worry, Soul-Burning Valley is a world of its own; she won't be able to sense it," the Treant said, waving his hand with a smile.

"That's good. I didn't know about this, please forgive me." Xiao Fan cupped his hands slightly.

"Hehehe… No matter. Tell me, what are you here for? Encountered trouble?"

"Not yet. I'm just curious, Senior, how is your Soul Fragment doing in the outside world?" Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"My Soul Fragment? It's fine. One died, but the others are still alive."

"One died? Who killed it?" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Immortal King Ting Yue."

"Her? What happened?"

"Nothing much. That Soul Fragment of mine wanted to leave the Endless Plains, and as a result…" The Treant pursed his lips.

Xiao Fan frowned and thought for a moment.

"So, Immortal King Ting Yue knows about your Soul Fragment leaving? But she didn't do anything about it?"

"You could say that." The Treant nodded, admitting it frankly.

"Senior, if you keep devouring, could you clash with Immortal Emperor Wuliang?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Immortal Emperor Wuliang? I can't fight him." The Treant sneered.

"Why?!"

"The reason is simple: he wouldn't let me keep growing stronger and would kill me halfway through," the Treant said very frankly.

As he devoured, the Treant's power would continuously increase.

But correspondingly, as his aura rose, the risk of exposure would also increase.

With Immortal Emperor Wuliang overseeing things, it was impossible for the Treant to grow to that level.

"Alright." Xiao Fan sighed softly.

"Senior, where is your Clone located now? Please let me know."

"What do you want to do?!"

"So that it's convenient for me to go there if I encounter danger later."

The Treant fell silent for a moment and sighed softly.

After learning the location of the Treant's Soul Fragment, Xiao Fan turned and left.

He felt he was overthinking things; the Treant's potential was great, but it couldn't possibly threaten Immortal Emperor Wuliang.

Otherwise, with Immortal Emperor Wuliang's methods, how could there be only a mere Soul-Burning Valley?

Xiao Fan took a step, his figure vanished, and he left Soul-Burning Valley.

For a period of time after that, Xiao Fan wandered within Immortal King Ting Yue's territory.

Midway, Xiao Fan went to pick up Yun Yanran.

This was what Xiao Fan had promised her: that once the Treasure Land of the Endless Plains opened, he would take her inside.

But he did not guarantee her survival.

Yun Yanran was aware of this herself; she only hoped that Xiao Fan would do his best to protect her.

Xiao Fan also agreed, saying he would protect her to the best of his ability.
