Chapter 686: Parting Ways

"You… are really amazing…" Xiao Fan held it in for a long while before finally squeezing out those words!

While he was fighting the Mao Family experts just now, he had been keeping an eye on the battle in the Void Realm.

He hadn't expected Zhangsun Ning to be so powerful, suppressing experts like Elder Mao Tai all by herself!!

She had beaten that group of Yuding Realm experts to the point where they had no ability to fight back!

"It was alright." Zhangsun Ning gave a bright smile; hearing Xiao Fan's praise put her in a very good mood.

"Big Brother… Big Sister…" Wei Zhongshan flew back at this moment, his face full of shock!

He originally thought he was a dead man… but who could have guessed that the group from the Mao Family would all end up dead!

He knew Xiao Fan was a Prodigy from their time in the Secret Realm, but he hadn't expected this beautiful Yuding Realm woman to be so fierce!!

She had single-handedly slain six Yuding Realm experts of the Mao Family!!

Just what kind of strength was this?!

"Big Sister?" Zhangsun Ning's brow twitched as she looked at Wei Zhongshan.

"Uh…" Being pinned by the gaze of a Yuding Realm expert made Wei Zhongshan feel entirely ill at ease. He shot a pleading look at Xiao Fan, but the latter ignored him.

"Call me Senior!" With a casual wave of her hand, Zhangsun Ning sent Wei Zhongshan flying several hundred feet.

Wei Zhongshan was dazed by the blow, but upon his return, he was well-behaved and didn't dare to utter another peep, addressing Zhangsun Ning as "Senior."

"Little fellow, where are you headed next?" Zhangsun Ning looked at Xiao Fan. Now that the Mao Family trouble was dealt with, she planned to return to Tianshen Prefecture!

"I want to go back to Wuhuang Province first. What about you?" Xiao Fan looked toward Zhangsun Ning.

"I'm returning to Tianshen Prefecture…" Zhangsun Ning explained. Her mission in Wuhuang Province was already complete.

"Tianshen Prefecture…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself, "I will be going there later as well."

"Little fellow… Wuhuang Province is very barren. Once you go back, it won't be easy to leave. Why don't you just come with me to Tianshen Prefecture instead?" Zhangsun Ning smiled, extending an olive branch and inviting Xiao Fan to join her faction.

She understood Xiao Fan's situation well; after all, an expert from Tianshen Prefecture had appeared and abducted Xiao Fan's wife, an event that had caused a massive stir in Wuhuang Province.

Had it happened to anyone else, it might not have been so widely publicized, but Xiao Fan was someone recognized by the Sacred Pill Tower—a person who could potentially become a Grade 6 Alchemist in the future!

"Don't worry, I'll head over there later!" Xiao Fan said. "How do you plan to get to Tianshen Prefecture?"

He felt a sense of reluctance in his heart; after all, the two of them had been together for quite some time.

"Every Major Prefecture has a Large Teleportation Array; it'll just take some time…" Zhangsun Ning said, informing Xiao Fan that all Major Prefectures possessed large-scale teleportation arrays.

Using these teleportation arrays could save a significant amount of time. Although they wouldn't take him directly to Tianshen Prefecture, he could reach it by traveling through a few more teleportation arrays.

"Little fellow, you should think carefully. Wuhuang Province doesn't have a Large Teleportation Array." Zhangsun Ning reminded him. When she had traveled to Wuhuang Province before, she had wasted a lot of time because there was no teleportation array.

"Why doesn't Wuhuang Province have a teleportation array?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.

"Your Wuhuang Province is so barren, what would it need a teleportation array for?" Zhangsun Ning glanced at him.

Xiao Fan understood… The people of Wuhuang Province were too weak. Any Yuanhun Realm expert from an outside province could dominate the entire region!

Zhangsun Ning then pointed out a route to Wuhuang Province. If he went by way of Yihuang Province, it would likely take Xiao Fan about five years of flying to get there…

"Alright then, I'll be going now. You… take care." Zhangsun Ning said, her voice tinged with a hint of melancholy.

"Wait." Xiao Fan stopped her, then produced a Storage Pouch and tossed it to her.

"Take this. Use it for your travels."

Zhangsun Ning caught the Storage Pouch… She was stunned after checking it…

500 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!

"Always sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong." Zhangsun Ning curled her lip and her figure vanished, though her heart was brimming with joy.

Xiao Fan let out a breath and stared blankly in the direction Zhangsun Ning had departed. Once she was gone, he muttered to himself.

"Tianshen Prefecture… Before long, I will go there as well."

To the side, Wei Zhongshan was in a daze. Ever since being taught a lesson by Zhangsun Ning, he hadn't dared to say a word!

"Big Brother, we're going to Wuhuang Province??"

Wei Zhongshan naturally knew of Wuhuang Province—the legendary Waste Province!

"That's right, we're going back for a visit!" Xiao Fan said flatly.

"How… how are we going to get there?" Wei Zhongshan's face was pale. Zhangsun Ning had just said that Wuhuang Province had no teleportation array, and getting there would require flying for several years!

"Just follow me." Xiao Fan said calmly, taking to the skies.

Wei Zhongshan gritted his teeth and flew off after Xiao Fan…

"Big Brother, I have a younger sister. Can we take her with us?" On the way, after much deliberation, Wei Zhongshan spoke up.

"You actually have a sister?!" Xiao Fan was surprised. Previously, Wei Zhongshan had mentioned introducing his sister to him.

At the time, Xiao Fan thought he was just blowing smoke, but it turned out…

"Yeah, I do." Wei Zhongshan scratched his head. "Before I entered the Secret Realm, I told her to wait for me in a major city. If we head to Wuhuang Province now… I'm afraid I don't know how long it will be before we can return."

Wei Zhongshan didn't know that Xiao Fan could use the Temple's teleportation array, so he was worried about his sister.

Xiao Fan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, we'll be back before long."
