Chapter 668: The Anger of the Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces’ Gold Star

"How many of these Divine Generals are there?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Hmm… so many years have passed, the Divine Temple has cultivated several hundred people… But I am not very clear about their current situation; I don't know if they are dead or alive now," Hou Wanli explained after a moment of thought.

After these people left, there was no more contact, and many of them might be dead by now.

"Several hundred?" Xiao Fan was stunned, then shook his head…

He had originally thought these people could be a great help, but it turned out there were only a few hundred!

"What is their cultivation Realm?" Xiao Fan asked again.

"Hmm… I am not clear about that at the moment. The last Divine General appeared 90 years ago… At that time, his cultivation was at the seventh level of the Pi Hai Realm!" Hou Wanli explained.

"90 years ago?" Xiao Fan was stunned, then asked again: "After these people left, the Divine Temple couldn't contact them?"

"Uh… yes." Hou Wanli nodded. He explained to Xiao Fan again that after these people left, the Divine Temple indeed had no way to get in touch with them again!

"The Divine Temple is lurking within a Secret Realm and cannot leave… Otherwise, it would be detected by the Heavenly Dao… The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces is in the hands of the Witch God Clan and the Weiyang Clan. If these two clans find out, they might send experts to descend prematurely… By then, everything will be destroyed!"

Xiao Fan nodded. He understood what Hou Wanli meant, and at the same time, he thought of the Mysterious Giant in the underground palace.

Was that giant also hiding in the underground palace of a Secret Realm, afraid of being detected by the Heavenly Dao!

Xiao Fan felt this was very likely!

But the trouble now is that the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces world is incomplete. Even if one reaches the peak here, what can be done in the end?

The other two clans will still send experts down, and it will be a catastrophe regardless!

Xiao Fan voiced his concerns to see what Hou Wanli had to say.

"Your Majesty… After so many years, we actually still have a chance. Now, every ten thousand years, the ones who enter our Nine Provinces are the young Prodigies of the two clans. The entrance they use to enter the Nine Provinces stays open for several months. If we kill them within those few months and then leave through the entrance they used to enter, and charge into the outside world, it is not impossible."

Hou Wanli stated the plan he had been thinking about for a long time.

First, kill these Prodigies of the two clans, then lead a large number of Nine Provinces experts to leave through the passage used by the Weiyang Clan and the Witch God Clan.

"If we leave, what will happen to the living beings of the Nine Provinces?" Xiao Fan asked with a solemn expression.

"This…" Hou Wanli hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "To succeed, there must be sacrifices."

If they really killed the Prodigies sent in by these two clans, Xiao Fan believed that the experts of these two clans would definitely not let it go. By then, the ones who would suffer would be the living beings of the Nine Provinces, and it might even lead to the destruction of the Nine Provinces!

"Forget it… let's not think about that for now." Xiao Fan let out a breath, feeling that he was worrying unnecessarily.

After all, there are still nearly 300 years left. With the star chart, he might be able to reach the Shie Realm the old man spoke of, or even the Zhanming Realm by then!

If he really reached the Zhanming Realm, Xiao Fan felt that with his ability to challenge those of higher cultivation levels, it might not be impossible for him to contend with those two clans.

At this moment, Xiao Fan suddenly closed his eyes… His Divine Soul entered the star chart.

Because he discovered that the gold star that had appeared earlier was trembling violently at this moment…

This trembling seemed to be in anger, in roaring, expressing its unwillingness!

"Could it be… that you represented the previous Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces?"

Xiao Fan was puzzled. The 3,600 stars in the star chart each corresponded to a top-tier expert.

The aura fluctuation emitted by this gold star was very strong, and judging by its reaction, it was very likely the first Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces that Hou Wanli spoke of.

"Boom!"

The gold star trembled violently again, as if responding to Xiao Fan.

"If it really is the first Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces…"

Xiao Fan felt a huge shock in his heart; the origin of the star chart far exceeded his imagination.

The Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces, according to Hou Wanli, must have been a person of profound cultivation and great fortune tens of thousands of years ago.

But in the end, the other party had already fallen in battle… So what was going on with this gold star?

"Could it be that the Divine Thought of the first Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces is inside this gold star?"

Xiao Fan muttered to himself. He had only unlocked the third stage of the star chart, so he still didn't know much about it.

He thought hard but to no avail, and as of now, he was simply unable to break open this star.

"Let's leave first; we'll deal with things later."

Xiao Fan's Divine Soul returned to his Physical Body. He thought clearly that the great battle 300 years later was not something he could just walk away from if he wanted to.

His friends from the Jixian Sect and the clansmen of the Dragon family were all in the Nine Provinces; what could he do if he didn't fight?

Furthermore, even if he wanted to avoid the battle, the other side probably wouldn't let him go!

If they knew he was the current Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces, those people would probably be the first to come and kill him!

Hou Wanli, having just seen Xiao Fan close his eyes, did not dare to disturb him, thinking Xiao Fan was troubled.

"Hou Wanli, what is your current Realm?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Me?" Hou Wanli shook his head with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, as of now… I am just a wisp of a remnant soul, and I don't have much strength left."

"A remnant soul?"

"That's right… During the great battle, I was killed, but my Primordial Spirit was not extinguished. The previous Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces linked me to this Divine Temple, so as long as the Divine Temple exists, I will not perish… At that time, he had already been fighting against the experts of those two clans for several years and knew well that the Nine Provinces could not resist, so he entrusted his final arrangements to me."
