Chapter 756: Are You the One?

The boundary barrier—it was the dividing line between Wuhuang Province and other major provinces!

Stepping outside the barrier was equivalent to leaving the territory of Wuhuang Province and entering an endless deep sea…

This sea was vast, stretching out without end…

If one wanted to fly across the sea to leave Wuhuang Province, it would take at least several decades of flight to possibly make it across.

And this flight speed referred to experts of the Yuanhun Realm!

As for the Xuandan Realm… they probably couldn't cross it even if they flew for hundreds of years!

Therefore, if one's cultivation had not reached the Yuanhun Realm, stepping out of Wuhuang Province's range and attempting to cross the endless deep sea was simply seeking death!

What happened next had nothing to do with Xiao Fan.

He returned to the Imperial City.

At this time, Wuhuang Province was in a state of post-war recovery. Countless human experts had fallen, the territory and mountains had collapsed, and numerous cities had become ghost towns, completely destroyed…

Sect Master Wu Xinjue, Sect Master Xu Yongnian, and others from the Jixian Sect rushed back to their Sect one after another…

They wanted to rebuild the Sect and restore the Jixian Sect to its original state as soon as possible!

The Jixian Sect Disciples who had remained in the Imperial City also followed them and departed.

The other three major forces did the same, leaving the Imperial City one by one to return to their own Sects.

Rebuilding the Sect was something that had nothing to do with Xiao Fan.

Inside the Imperial City, Xiao Fan picked up Nangong Lingxuan and Long Caiwei. With Wei Zhongshan by their side, the four of them left together.

Before Xiao Fan went to join the war, he had left Wei Zhongshan behind to ensure the safety of the two women.

If anything had happened to Xiao Fan, Wei Zhongshan was to take the two of them and hide in a safe place…

The demon cultivators of Wuhuang Province had been wiped out, and Nangong Lingxuan was in a daze…

The Nangong Family had also been exterminated by demon cultivators.

“Thank you,” Nangong Lingxuan said softly to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan smiled; he naturally knew what Nangong Lingxuan meant!

“Brother-in-law, where are we going?” Long Caiwei asked.

At this moment, Xiao Fan was leading the group away, soaring through the Void Realm!

“To help an old friend take revenge,” Xiao Fan said indifferently, his voice filled with a killing intent.

…

Three hours later…

Xiao Fan and his group arrived at a medium-sized city.

This was Pingwan City, the place where Zhu Gang was born.

This city had been within the human territory during the fighting, so it hadn't been affected.

By now, the news of the human victory and the demon cultivators' defeat had reached the city. The streets were filled with jubilant residents, and it was very lively.

Xiao Fan asked around for the location of the Zhu Family.

The Zhu Family was a prominent Family in Pingwan City with a very high status; anyone living in Pingwan City knew of them.

Someone pointed out the location of the Zhu Family to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan and the others headed there…

*Knock, knock, knock.*

“Who is it?”

The gates of the Zhu Family opened, and a servant inside saw the two men and two women before him.

“Who are you looking for?” the servant asked.

“We are friends of Zhu Gang,” Xiao Fan said.

“Zhu Gang!” The servant was startled. “The Eldest Young Master's friends?”

“Correct.”

“But the Eldest Young Master isn't here… He left many years ago and has never returned.”

“I know. I've come here because he entrusted me to handle some matters for him,” Xiao Fan said calmly.

“Alright, then I will go inform the Master,” the servant said. “Please wait for me.”

Xiao Fan nodded, his expression serene.

After a short while, Xiao Fan was welcomed inside by the servant and led to the Zhu Family's main hall!

Zhu Gang's father, Zhu Wan, was currently sitting in the main hall.

Seeing Xiao Fan and the others enter, he asked in a heavy voice, “You know Zhu Gang?”

This Zhu Wan maintained the dignity of an elder. His cultivation was at the eighth level of the Xuandan Realm, which definitely made him an expert for a medium-sized city!

He couldn't probe the cultivation levels of Xiao Fan and Wei Zhongshan, but he felt a sense of trepidation from the two of them.

Nangong Lingxuan was at the third level of the Xuandan Realm, while Long Caiwei was at the first level of the Tongtian Realm.

“We do.” Xiao Fan nodded. He could see a hint of worry on Zhu Wan's face.

“Where is he now?”

“He is dead.” Xiao Fan sighed.

“Dead?!” Zhu Wan's body trembled involuntarily.

“How… how did he die?” Zhu Wan's voice was low and filled with sorrow.

“He turned into a demon cultivator and was slain by me,” Xiao Fan said.

Hearing this, Zhu Wan snapped his head up to look at Xiao Fan. “You killed my son?”

“Yes.” Xiao Fan nodded. In truth, the act of personally killing Zhu Gang also caused him immense pain!

A surge of killing intent emerged around Zhu Wan… but it dissipated a moment later…

“Forget it, forget it… Turning into a demon cultivator… death… perhaps it is a release.” Zhu Wan sighed. He, who had been full of spirit, seemed to age significantly in this instant.

At that moment, a beautiful woman dressed in fine clothing walked into the hall. She was good-looking, the type who still retained her charm despite her age.

This woman's cultivation was only at the Huaqi Realm. After entering, she scanned Xiao Fan and the others with a contemptuous gaze, then walked up to Zhu Wan.

“Master, I heard that some friends of that wild brat have arrived?” the woman said. As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Xiao Fan and the others out of the corner of her eye!

Given that she couldn't even probe Long Caiwei's cultivation, how could she possibly sense Xiao Fan's group?

Zhu Wan was the strongest person in Pingwan City. Since marrying him, she had been arrogant and overbearing every day, thinking herself invincible!

This person was Zhu Gang's Stepmother.

“Yes,” Zhu Wan said heavily. Knowing the news of his son's death, his expression was very grim.

“That wild brat has been gone for years. What news did he send?!” The woman's tone was immediately unfriendly; she didn't know about Zhu Gang's death!

Zhu Wan's face was gloomy, and he had no mood to pay attention to her, being consumed by grief over his son's death.

The woman turned back and looked at Xiao Fan and the others!

“What message did that brat Zhu Gang have you bring?” the woman asked harshly.

She had rushed over as soon as she heard from the servant that Zhu Gang had friends visiting!

That bastard Zhu Gang… She had sent people to intercept him back then, yet they hadn't managed to kill him!

“Before he died, Zhu Gang entrusted me to kill his Stepmother.” Xiao Fan looked at the woman with a cold, piercing gaze and said chillingly, “Are you the one?”
