Chapter 696: Something Happened to Nangong Lingxuan

"These past few years… I've been doing alright," Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"Come on, kid, let's go inside and chat." Warrior Feng laughed loudly. Only then did he notice someone else beside Xiao Fan.

The important thing was, he discovered that he couldn't see through this person's cultivation level at all!

"You, you are!!" Warrior Feng looked at Wei Zhongshan, his expression one of shock. His own cultivation was at the Great Perfection of the Yuanhun Realm. If he couldn't see through the other person's cultivation, didn't that mean… the other person was in the Pi Hai Realm!

"I, I am Big Brother Xiao Fan's follower!" Wei Zhongshan cupped his fists, being very polite to Warrior Feng.

From the way the two spoke, he could tell that their relationship was quite good.

"A follower…" At this moment, Warrior Feng was so shocked he couldn't speak.

Could someone at the eighth layer of the Yuanhun Realm actually take a Pi Hai Realm expert as a follower?

"Elder Feng, let's go into the city first," Xiao Fan said.

"Alright, alright!" Warrior Feng let out a breath, trying hard not to appear overly shocked.

Hu Rui also followed them into the city.

These fortresses were guarded every thousand miles by experts dispatched by the Four Great Forces and the imperial family, responsible for security and defending against sudden attacks by demon cultivators.

If a major battle broke out, experts from the Human Race would arrive to provide support in a very short time!

Within this city, the strongest person was Warrior Feng, who was at the Great Perfection of the Yuanhun Realm.

Xiao Fan and Wei Zhongshan entered the City Lord's Mansion of this city.

The current City Lord had already become Warrior Feng's subordinate, taking orders from him while overseeing the city to prevent any disturbances.

"It's too chaotic nowadays… How much do you know about the situation in Wuhuang Province?" Warrior Feng asked.

"I know a little, but not too much," Xiao Fan said.

They were currently conversing inside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Warrior Feng ordered people to prepare delicious food. Seeing Xiao Fan, he was overjoyed and intended to have a good drink with him!

"Xiao Tian has become a demon cultivator; do you know about this?" Warrior Feng said.

He had been part of the group that went to Jingchuan City back then, and he was very clear about the grudge between Xiao Fan and Xiao Tian.

"I know," Xiao Fan nodded, his expression calm.

Hu Rui sat opposite Xiao Fan, her expression complex, and she remained silent.

She was also aware of the matters between Xiao Fan and Xiao Tian.

"The current Xiao Tian has done all sorts of evil; he has even personally slaughtered hundreds of Human Race cities…" Whenever Warrior Feng mentioned Xiao Tian, he would burn with rage, regretting that he hadn't slapped that Xiao Tian to death back in Jingchuan City!

When Xiao Fan heard that Xiao Tian had slaughtered hundreds of cities, he was horrified!

Dozens of cities… that could be countless lives!

"What is his strength now?" Xiao Fan asked.

"The Yuding Realm!" Warrior Feng exhaled. The current Xiao Tian was a figure who could fight against the Ancestor of Jixian Sect.

"The Yuding Realm, huh? That's really fast," Xiao Fan muttered with a bitter smile.

Regarding this younger brother's talent, he had always felt inferior since they were young.

Back then, Xiao Tian was chosen by the Piaomiao Immortal Palace, and later crippled by him. He hadn't expected that after only a few years, the other party would have reached the Yuding Realm!

Wei Zhongshan, listening from the side, was horrified… His Big Brother's younger brother had actually reached the Yuding Realm!

He didn't know about the history between Xiao Fan and Xiao Tian. His first reaction was… this whole family, they were all monsters!

"Xiao Fan, it's really great that you've returned!" Warrior Feng laughed loudly, feeling as if he might shed tears of an old man.

Many Elders of the Jixian Sect had died in the great war…

Being able to see a former Prodigy Disciple of the Jixian Sect appear, he felt excited.

"Xiao Fan… what is your cultivation level now?" Hu Rui interjected from the side.

"Eighth layer of the Yuanhun Realm," Xiao Fan said. He felt that Hu Rui's expression was very grim, as if she had something on her mind: "What's wrong?"

"I… I…" Hu Rui hesitated.

"What happened?" Xiao Fan pressed, because he noticed Hu Rui's expression was very grim, and combined with her hesitant attitude, Xiao Fan felt it wasn't good news.

"Sigh, just tell him," Warrior Feng sighed. He felt that they should tell Xiao Fan.

"What happened?" Xiao Fan pressed.

"It's Junior Sister Nangong," Hu Rui said.

"Nangong, what happened to her?!" Xiao Fan's body trembled involuntarily, his breathing becoming rapid.

"No, nothing like that, it's just…" Hu Rui's expression was complex. After thinking for a moment, she said, "The Nangong Family was exterminated by demon cultivators… Because Junior Sister Nangong was at the Jixian Sect, she escaped the disaster…"

"And a while ago… Diao Zhen of the Diao Family and his father found Junior Sister Nangong and started talking about the previous marriage arrangement."

Xiao Fan knew about the marriage engagement between Nangong Lingxuan and the Diao Family.

Back then, Nangong Lingxuan had an agreement with the Nangong Family that if she could reach the Xuandan Realm before the age of 22, the marriage could be cancelled!

"The marriage, and then what?" Xiao Fan asked. He felt that with Nangong Lingxuan's talent, reaching the Xuandan Realm before 22 shouldn't be difficult.

"Junior Sister Nangong is currently at the second layer of the Xuandan Realm, but… the Diao Family refuses to acknowledge the agreement, especially Diao Zhen and Diao Peng, who are forcing Junior Sister Nangong to marry into their Diao Family!"

Hu Rui continued, "They said that Junior Sister Nangong's original agreement was with the Nangong Family, not with their Diao Family… And they also hold the marriage contract between the Diao Family and the Nangong Family in their hands…"

"Even the Jixian Sect finds it difficult to intervene in this matter… So…"
