Chapter 6810: Meeting the Empress

The mission Xiao Fan had undertaken was inherently easy to complete.

After completing it, Xiao Fan returned to the main city.

Soon, news of the disappearance of Helian Yucheng, Cang Nu, and the others began to circulate in the main city.

Everyone was curious as to where Helian Yucheng and his group had gone.

Unfortunately for them…

Helian Yucheng and the others had planned this action thoroughly; with the exception of one person, no one knew of their movements.

That person was Zhao Quan.

After Xiao Fan returned to the main city, he went to see Zhao Quan in secret.

“Here! Your share of the benefits.”

Xiao Fan smiled and tossed two storage rings to Zhao Quan.

The death spirit stones inside made Zhao Quan incredibly excited.

“Hahaha… Brother Xiao! You truly are a man of your word!” Zhao Quan beamed, unable to close his mouth from joy.

“Don't mention it! We are good brothers,” Xiao Fan said with a smile, patting Zhao Quan on the shoulder.

Xiao Fan wasn't worried about Zhao Quan betraying him.

They were now grasshoppers on the same boat.

If something happened to Xiao Fan and this matter was exposed, Zhao Quan would also be in deep trouble.

Because of Zhao Quan's help, Xiao Fan had gained unimaginable benefits.

The power of the void ring had skyrocketed dozens of times over.

Aside from that, there was still a massive amount of Death Qi that hadn't been refined yet.

Xiao Fan still had a large number of death spirit stones on him, which he could use for a shopping spree in the main city later.

It was just a pity…

After this incident, there were very few people left who had previously opposed Xiao Zhen.

Furthermore, even if Zhao Quan tried to set a trap, those people might not necessarily fall for it.

But it didn't matter; Xiao Fan had obtained enough benefits and could leave the Undying Realm at any time.

Following this event, the relationship between Zhao Quan and Xiao Zhen could be considered reconciled.

In truth, Xiao Zhen had never really taken Zhao Quan seriously before.

It was Zhao Quan who had constantly been working against Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Fan even acted as a mediator, arranging for Xiao Zhen and Zhao Quan to meet in secret.

“Heh heh… Zhao Quan, I never imagined we would meet like this,” Xiao Zhen said with a bitter smile, sizing Zhao Quan up.

“Hehehe… I didn't expect it either! Don't worry, from now on I'll follow your lead! You're my big brother! Xiao Fan is my second brother!” Zhao Quan laughed and scratched his head.

“Rest assured, for Xiao Fan's sake, I won't make things difficult for you,” Xiao Zhen smiled. “From now on, we're on the same side.”

“Good! Great! We're on the same side!” Zhao Quan nodded repeatedly, acting exceptionally well-behaved.

The matter was settled smoothly.

Zhao Quan and Xiao Zhen reconciled and became friends.

Xiao Fan did not hide his intention to leave from Zhao Quan either.

After all, Zhao Quan would find out sooner or later anyway.

Of course…

This was also a method to win people over.

Xiao Zhen had already planned it out; Xiao Fan would help Helian Jin handle some business outside, using the opportunity to make his escape.

Nominally, Xiao Zhen was a subordinate of Helian Jin.

Helian Jin was also a powerful expert at the Peak Immortal Venerable Realm, a Half-Step Emperor Tribulation Realm, and held great influence in the main city.

On paper, excluding those truly in the Emperor Tribulation Realm, Helian Jin was the number one figure.

Afterward, more and more rumors about Xiao Fan spread through the main city.

Currently, the most discussed topic in the main city was Xiao Fan.

Everyone was curious about the relationship between Xiao Fan and Xiao Zhen, and they were all surprised—was Xiao Fan really just Xiao Zhen's subordinate?!

Because the strength Xiao Fan now displayed had far surpassed Xiao Zhen's.

Even though Xiao Zhen had been very arrogant before, compared to Xiao Fan, he was like a small sorcerer in the presence of a great one—hardly worth mentioning.

Xiao Fan didn't care about this at all; he was leaving soon anyway.

Xiao Zhen felt the same way and didn't care in the slightest.

Soon, the appointed day arrived.

Xiao Fan went to the Mission Pavilion and accepted a mission posted by Helian Jin.

Xiao Fan intended to use this mission to make his getaway.

After accepting the mission, Xiao Fan prepared to leave.

The mission details were to head to the Battlefield in three days.

Once he reached the Battlefield, Xiao Fan could naturally slip away.

Just as Xiao Fan was about to depart, a massive aura tore through space and arrived.

Everyone was startled, looking toward the rift before bowing respectfully.

“Greetings, Empress!”

“We pay our respects to the Empress!”

“Greetings, Empress!”

“…”

Indeed.

The person who arrived was the Undying Empress.

The Undying Empress was expressionless as she stepped out of the spatial rift and walked toward Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was startled and immediately bowed to the Undying Empress.

“Greetings, Empress.”

“Hehehe… Xiao Fan, I didn't expect to see you here,” the Undying Empress said with a smile.
