Chapter 6429: Making Way

"Good! Great! You did very well!"

The Grand Elder nodded repeatedly and clapped his hands happily, asking the Disciple before him to recount the process of speaking with Xiao Fan.

The Disciple nodded again and again, explaining how he had approached Xiao Fan and relayed the information to him.

"Grand Elder, please rest assured. Xiao Tian definitely doesn't know that I was sent by you!"

"Good! You've done very well." The Grand Elder nodded with satisfaction, slowly stood up, and walked over to the man's side.

"Zhang Dong, I understand your loyalty to this Elder." The Grand Elder patted the Disciple's shoulder.

"Yes! I am naturally loyal to the Grand Elder unto death!"

“Hehehe… just how loyal? Tell me.”

"If the Grand Elder tells me to die, I won't say a word! I'll go to my death immediately!"

"Good! Very good, Zhang Dong. Then… sacrifice yourself for me."

Hearing this, Zhang Dong froze, looking at the Grand Elder in disbelief.

"Grand Elder, what do you mean by that?!"

"It means… it's time for you to go on your way." As he spoke, the Grand Elder's palm struck Zhang Dong's shoulder.

With a "bang," Zhang Dong turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Afterward, the Grand Elder continued his strike, obliterating every last trace of Zhang Dong's life force.

"Sigh… Zhang Dong, since you know about the Diming matter, you must die. This is the rule of the Blood Flame Sect." The Grand Elder sighed softly.

The moment he told Zhang Dong about the Diming Land, the man was already as good as dead.

Zhang Dong was a bait, a lure used to entice Xiao Fan to the Diming Land.

Now that the bait's mission was accomplished, it was naturally time for the bait to perish.

"Xiao Tian, you're the next one to die." The Grand Elder chuckled to himself.

…

Having learned about the Diming Land from Zhang Dong's mouth,

Xiao Fan had immediately sensed that something was wrong.

So, while interacting with Zhang Dong, he had tampered with him, leaving behind a small mark.

This mark was formed from the Power of the Imperial Dao; even an expert at the Immortal King Realm would be unable to detect it.

Later, Xiao Fan tracked the mark attached to Zhang Dong and found it had gone to the Grand Elder's Immortal Cave.

He could then confirm that this matter was related to the Grand Elder, just as he had expected.

But soon, the mark dissipated, proving that Zhang Dong was dead.

"He died in the Grand Elder's Immortal Cave, so there is only one killer," Xiao Fan murmured.

Without a doubt, the person who killed Zhang Dong was the Grand Elder.

Why would the Grand Elder kill Zhang Dong?!

The man had clearly completed his mission and relayed the information to him.

"He killed him to silence him. There's only one reason: the news Zhang Dong told me was true, but it's of such great importance that Zhang Dong had to be killed." Xiao Fan talked to himself, the corners of his mouth curling upward uncontrollably.

Xiao Fan didn't doubt for a second the Grand Elder's desire to eliminate him.

The fact that he arranged all this meant he definitely had another scheme in mind.

Luring him to the Diming Land?!

Was it because the Diming Land was extremely dangerous, or did he plan to use the Blood Flame Sect's rules to get rid of him?!

Currently, the best way to break this situation was to do nothing at all, pretending he knew nothing about the Diming Land.

That way, all the Grand Elder's efforts would be in vain.

However, Xiao Fan was curious about the Diming Land, so he planned to go take a look.

If something went wrong later, he could just dust off his hands and leave; he didn't necessarily have to go to the Ghost Mother Immortal King's palace.

The Grand Elder's calculations were good, but his only mistake was underestimating Xiao Fan's strength.

He would never imagine in his wildest dreams that Xiao Fan possessed Immortal King Realm strength; even the Ghost Mother Immortal King wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

The next day, Xiao Fan went directly to the Ancestral Hall.

On the way to the Ancestral Hall, everything went smoothly.

Xiao Fan felt that someone had been secretly following him the whole time.

"The Grand Elder's people? Interesting," Xiao Fan murmured.

Normally, it would be difficult for an ordinary Disciple to reach the Blood Flame Sect's Ancestral Hall.

But Xiao Fan was different; he was the number one Inner Sect Disciple.

His status even surpassed that of ordinary Elders in the Blood Flame Sect.

Even the Disciples guarding the Ancestral Hall didn't dare to offend Xiao Fan.

"I want to pay my respects to the ancestors of our Blood Flame Sect. Step aside," Xiao Fan said indifferently.

Hearing this, the several experts guarding the Ancestral Hall looked at each other, nodded, and made way.
