Chapter 712: Heading to Jingchuan City

"Xiao Fan, where did you get all these…"

Sect Master Wu Xinjue looked horrified, as did Sect Master Xu Yongnian and the others beside him.

Who would have thought that Xiao Fan would suddenly produce a pile of Earth Rank Magical Artifacts and Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!

"Hehe, I stole them," Xiao Fan chuckled, telling the truth.

*Hiss* *Hiss* *Hiss*

The sound of sharp intakes of breath continued. Xiao Fan's words caused Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others' expressions to change drastically… Good grief, where could one even go to steal so many Mid-Grade Spirit Stones?

In reality, he hadn't taken out that many Spirit Stones—only about two hundred million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Since he had plenty of Magical Artifacts in his Storage Pouch that he didn't use, he decided to take them all out and contribute them to the Sect.

After all, back at the Jixian Sect, the Sect had treated him very well.

"Good grief…" Even the Ancestor of Jixian Sect gasped upon seeing these items. Where did this kid strike it rich?!

He Yutang, Elder Shi Ji, Elder Shi Pin, Bei Ming, and the other Elders' eyes gleamed as they looked at the Earth Rank Magical Artifacts and Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

The items Xiao Fan brought out made the members of the Jixian Sect incredibly excited.

Xiao Fan didn't take out many Heaven And Earth Treasures. He had plenty in his Storage Pouch, but even if he took them all out, it would be a drop in the bucket and not very useful for the Sect.

Letting these people use Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to Cultivate was enough.

Two hundred million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to twenty billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

For the current Jixian Sect, it was a timely relief for their urgent needs.

Now that the Sect had been destroyed and its foundations emptied, they couldn't even distribute cultivation resources to the Jixian Sect Disciples.

"By the way, where is Long Caiwei? And Elder Kong Ping, Elder Jiang, and Elder Cao Mu—why haven't I seen them?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Kong Ping and Jiang Yushan are in Shengdan City with the Disciples of Danding Peak. Long Caiwei is there too… Cao Mu… he died in battle…" Sect Master Wu Xinjue said in a low voice.

As he said this, Xiao Fan noticed Bei Ming's face, at the back of the crowd, darken as killing intent surfaced from his body.

"Dead…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself, remembering the frail Elder who had helped him in Jingchuan.

Speaking of which, Xiao Fan still owed Elder Cao Mu a favor.

Back when he was weak, Cao Mu had helped him go to Jingchuan to confront Xiao Tian's Master, Shou Yuanzhong!

"Yes… when the Sect was attacked by demon cultivators, a large number of them appeared, and Elder Cao Mu died in battle then…"

At this moment, Xiao Fan thought of the City Lord of Xiluo City; that was the first time he had ever seen a demon cultivator.

Afterward, the Jixian Sect took the matter very seriously and sent out countless experts to investigate, but Xiao Fan wasn't sure what the final outcome was.

"How did those demon cultivators appear?" Xiao Fan asked; he hadn't had time to ask about it until now.

"I'm not sure… the Outer Sect suddenly fell, and more than half of the Utility Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples suddenly turned into demon cultivators…" Sect Master Wu Xinjue recalled that scene with a look of sadness and anger.

In that battle, the Jixian Sect was caught completely off guard.

At the same time, the other three of the Four Great Forces were also attacked by demon cultivators!

Otherwise, with the foundations of the Four Great Forces, they wouldn't be in such a miserable state now!

The Sect was even overrun before the defensive array could be activated!

Wu Juesheng's intention earlier was for Xiao Fan to keep a low profile and lay low, avoiding unnecessary actions for the time being to prevent exposing his Yuding Realm strength.

After all, there might be demon cultivator spies within the Human Race…

However, the news of Xiao Fan being alive didn't need to be kept secret.

Since the members of the Diao Family had left, this matter would definitely leak out.

Still, it would suffice to claim to the outside world that Xiao Fan only had Pi Hai Realm strength; after all, he was currently only at the eighth stage of the Yuanhun Realm, so there was nothing to hide about that!

Next, Xiao Fan asked about the situation of the Long Family. They had been quite lucky; Jingchuan City was within the Human Race's territory and hadn't been affected by the war.

Xiao Fan planned to find some time to visit them and stop by Shengdan City on the way.

He also asked about Zhu Gang's situation. Sect Master Xu Yongnian remembered Zhu Gang, but the little fat man wasn't in the Sect now… the outcome could be easily imagined.

"Are they all dead…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself. All the familiar faces from the Outer Sect back then were gone.

After talking with them for a while longer, Xiao Fan left and went to Nangong Lingxuan's room…

Nangong Lingxuan's bedroom was filled with a feminine fragrance. With her long hair flowing, she sat before her dressing table, looking into the mirror.

"You're back?" Nangong Lingxuan smiled, her bright eyes no longer cold as they once were.

"Yes," Xiao Fan smiled…

The two of them shared another moment of intimacy…

Three days later…

Xiao Fan and Nangong Lingxuan set off together for Jingchuan City.

Xiao Fan hadn't originally planned to take Nangong Lingxuan… but she insisted on coming along.

Their relationship was currently delicate, and his relationship with the Long Family they were visiting was also quite delicate.

Xiao Fan's original identity was the Long Family's matrilocal son-in-law, only for his wife to be taken away… and now he was bringing Nangong Lingxuan, with whom he had become intimate, which made things rather complicated.

Now that the Nangong Family had been wiped out, Nangong Lingxuan could be said to be all alone in the world.

Xiao Fan had initially been dead set against it… but in the end, his heart softened, and he agreed to take her with him.

Wei Zhongshan also insisted on following, repeatedly promising that he wouldn't get in the way…

Helpless, Xiao Fan had no choice but to take him along.

Wei Zhongshan truly wanted to see what the place where his big brother grew up was like!
