Chapter 693: Meeting an Old Friend Again

Xiao Fan had already let go of the grudge between him and Xiao Tian after the decisive battle in Jingchuan City.

Even when the Xiao Family was later exterminated, Xiao Fan didn't have much of a reaction…

Wang Zhu still didn't realize that the Senior he was talking about was the very Xiao Fan he had just mentioned!

The group traveled for a day. Xiao Fan and Wei Zhongshan floated slowly in the air. Several groups of demon Cultivators appeared nearby, but they were all dealt with by Wei Zhongshan.

One must know that Wei Zhongshan was a powerhouse of the Pi Hai Realm, possessing the strength to establish his own sect in Wuhuang Province!

The food supplies carried by these ten thousand or so refugees began to run low, and their movement gradually slowed down.

However, these people had a strong will to survive; they gritted their teeth and persisted in moving forward.

Because they knew that if they stopped, only death awaited them!

Regardless of gender, these people were all pale with parched lips, lacking both food and water.

Xiao Fan couldn't bear to see this. He used One Thought, Heaven and Earth to condense droplets of fine rain above the crowd so they could drink.

He then disappeared, reappearing half a quarter-hour later. He had gathered countless wild fruits from the dense forest and scattered them from the sky to satisfy their hunger!

These people were deeply grateful, knowing that these were gifts from the Senior in the Void Realm.

Wang Zhu stood respectfully to the side, his heart filled with admiration for this Senior!

He was certain in his heart that Xiao Fan must be some old monster who had been in secluded cultivation deep in the mountains and had only just emerged!

Along the way, they encountered countless demon Cultivators blocking their path, but the strongest among them was only at the Yuanhun Realm. Xiao Fan didn't even need to act; Wei Zhongshan alone was enough.

This made Wang Zhu even more alarmed…

Wei Zhongshan was already this strong… just how powerful was Xiao Fan, whom Wei Zhongshan called "Big Brother"? What Realm must he be at!

After traveling for seven days…

Xiao Fan looked into the far distance and murmured to himself, "We're finally almost there."

With his current eyesight, he could see clearly for a hundred miles. Not far ahead of them were barriers and city walls built by the Human Race.

"Speed up. There are only another hundred miles ahead before we reach the territory of the Human Race." Xiao Fan's voice echoed in the ears of the refugees below…

"We're almost at a human city!"

"Great! We're going to be saved!"

"Hahaha… Are we finally going to be saved?!"

"…"

These people were incredibly excited. They hadn't expected to actually make it here alive. Only a hundred miles more and they would be within the Human Race's territory!

For the past few days, they had survived on the wild fruits Xiao Fan had brought from who-knows-where…

The group continued forward…

A day and a night later…

These people could finally see the perimeter of the Human Race's fortress.

"Who are you? Halt!"

At that moment, a man's powerful voice shouted from the fortress!

Behind him, dozens of Human Race Cultivators flew toward the crowd with surging Killing Intent.

"Who are you people?" asked the powerhouse of the Human Race who appeared from the fortress. His cultivation was impressively at the Xuandan Realm!

"Greetings, Senior. My name is Wang Zhu. We are refugees from Jianghua City!" Wang Zhu said respectfully to the man.

"Jianghua City is thousands of miles from here. How did you get here?!" The leading man clearly didn't believe him, his expression wary in case it was a trap by demon Cultivators.

"It's true, My Lord. A Senior escorted us here," Wang Zhu answered truthfully, his gaze turning toward the Void Realm.

At this, the dozens of experts opposite them were startled… and they all followed Wang Zhu's gaze.

They hadn't sensed the presence of anyone else nearby at all!

"You, you…" The leading youth was horrified. What was he seeing?

"Long time no see," Xiao Fan said calmly, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at the man.

"Xiao, Xiao Fan! You're not dead?!" the man cried out in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Murong Fu, it's been a long time… You've reached the Xuandan Realm. Not bad." Xiao Fan nodded. He hadn't expected to see Murong Fu here either!

Back when Xiao Fan was in Jingchuan City, he had fought a decisive battle against Murong Fu for a Spirit Stone Mine.

Later, Murong Fu joined Ziyun Cave Heaven, and Xiao Fan had seen him once more at the Imperial City Auction.

As it turned out, the first old acquaintance he met upon returning to Wuhuang Province was actually Murong Fu.

"Xiao Fan, it really is you!"

Hearing Xiao Fan's voice, Murong Fu was certain that this person was indeed Xiao Fan.

"Xiao Fan! He's actually Xiao Fan!"

"Wait… didn't Xiao Fan die in a Secret Realm a few years ago?"

"He… he's Xiao Tian's older brother!"

"…"

The Human Race Cultivators behind Murong Fu began to whisper among themselves. Their highest cultivation was at the first level of the Xuandan Realm, while the others were in the Tongtian Realm, all responsible for guarding the fortress in this area.

"I didn't die. What's the current situation like?" Xiao Fan asked.

"The situation… is not optimistic." Murong Fu's expression darkened when Xiao Fan asked about the state of affairs.

"First, bring these people into the city," Xiao Fan said, looking at the refugees on the ground.

"Alright… Xiao Fan, what is your current strength?!" Murong Fu asked. He realized he couldn't see the depths of Xiao Fan's power at all.

"I'm at the Yuanhun Realm," Xiao Fan said with a faint smile.

"Yuanhun Realm… Alright…" Murong Fu was initially a bit shocked to hear that Xiao Fan had the strength of the Yuanhun Realm, but he quickly felt relieved upon reflection.
