Chapter 779: Zhao Family City
The sense of danger felt from Xiao Fan was definitely not fake.
Moreover, Youming Prefecture was different from the other large prefectures.
No one would doubt Xiao Fan's identity; here, all members of the Human Race were one Family!
As for the Yao Race and Demon Race, they would never go so far as to arrange spies.
Simply because the Human Race was weak, and the other two races disdained them.
“Thank you,” Xiao Fan said in gratitude.
Watching this from the side, Wei Zhongshan sighed inwardly; Big Brother was truly worthy of being Big Brother…
During this time, Zhao Bin kept a dark expression and remained silent, looking at Xiao Fan with an unfriendly gaze…
He harbored an invisible, heavy resentment toward Xiao Fan. If Xiao Fan hadn't appeared, Zhao Yanfu and Zhao Tianyi would have surely died!
If he had escaped back alone, there would have been no flaws or consequences.
But then this Xiao Fan!
It was all because of him!
Yet he completely forgot that without Xiao Fan's intervention, he himself would have certainly died at the hands of the Demon Race, with no possibility of escape.
Zhao Yanfu gave Zhao Bin a harsh look, utterly disappointed in this cousin she once respected.
Zhao Tianyi was the same, his eyes filled with disappointment toward Zhao Bin!
Zhao Bin abandoning them at the critical moment had caused a deep-seated sense of estrangement and disgust to grow within them.
In the main hall, Xiao Fan chatted briefly with the higher-ups of the Zhao Family.
“Alright, Young Friend Xiao, if you need anything while staying with the Zhao Family, feel free to ask,” the Seventh Elder smiled. “If there is nothing else, Tianyi, Yanfu, take Young Friend Xiao down to rest.”
“Yes.”
Zhao Yanfu and Zhao Tianyi bowed to the Seventh Elder.
Then they led Xiao Fan out of the hall.
“Elder, I shall take my leave as well,” Zhao Bin said with a dark face.
The Elders' expressions were all quite unsightly, deeply disappointed in Zhao Bin.
How could someone like this shoulder the responsibility of defending the Zhao Family in the future?
“You may leave,” the Seventh Elder said in a heavy voice.
Zhao Bin bowed and then left the hall.
…
The higher-ups of the Zhao Family had some doubts about Xiao Fan's identity; young prodigies from other large prefectures who came to Youming Prefecture for trials were far too few…
After all, for the Human Race of the Nine Prefectures, the continent of Youming Prefecture was a land of doom!
Very few were willing to go there.
But none of that mattered; the Human Race of Youming Prefecture treated all humans equally.
Over the next few days, Xiao Fan and Wei Zhongshan stayed in the separate courtyard prepared by the Zhao Family.
Zhao Tianyi and Zhao Yanfu would come over every day.
“Big Brother Xiao, we will set out to return to the main Family tomorrow,” Zhao Yanfu said. “Will you be coming with us?”
“Although the teleportation arrays are controlled by the Imperial Family… if we can convince the Old Ancestor, perhaps he would be willing to step forward and negotiate with them,” Zhao Yanfu continued.
“That's right, Big Brother Xiao, come back to the Zhao Family with us and take a look. If the Family is unwilling to help, or if their help is useless… we can discuss other options then,” Zhao Tianyi added.
Xiao Fan had told the two of them that he came from Tianshen Prefecture and now needed a teleportation array to return!
Youming Prefecture was broken; the situation with the Yao and Demon Races was unclear, but among the Human Race, only the Imperial Family possessed teleportation arrays!
So Zhao Yanfu invited Xiao Fan to return to the Zhao Family with them and then ask the Ancestor of the Zhao Family to negotiate with the Imperial Family, hoping the Imperial Family would allow Xiao Fan to use the teleportation array to leave!
“Alright, thank you,” Xiao Fan thought for a moment and cupped his fists.
In truth, Xiao Fan didn't have a better place to go in Youming Prefecture.
Since he needed a teleportation array, he would definitely need to head to the Imperial City.
Instead of going alone, it was better to see if the Ancestor of the Zhao Family was willing to help first.
If the Ancestor of the Zhao Family was willing to help, wouldn't that be even better!
With the Ancestor of the Zhao Family stepping forward, Xiao Fan could use the Imperial Family's teleportation array to head to Tianshen Prefecture!
In fact, before stepping into Youming Prefecture, Xiao Fan had also wondered if he could find some opportunities here to make himself stronger!
Cultivating in a Secret Room for a long time, even with countless Heaven And Earth Treasures at his disposal…
It was still not as fast as going out to kill and plunder, or fighting against powerful experts to improve one's strength.
Xiao Fan had deep personal experience with this point.
“Great, Big Brother Xiao.”
Joy appeared on the faces of Zhao Yanfu and Zhao Tianyi.
Zhao Bin had already left—or rather, the day after leaving the main hall, Zhao Bin had departed…
He had headed back to the Zhao Family ahead of them.
The next day, Zhao Yanfu, Zhao Tianyi, Xiao Fan, Wei Zhongshan, and the rest of the group returning to the Zhao Family set out!
The Zhao Family's location was within Youming Prefecture.
No members of the Yao or Demon Races appeared here; it was within the Human Race's sphere of influence!
Thus, Xiao Fan and the others encountered no danger along the way!
Two days later…
The Zhao Family!
This place was massive—a giant city that was entirely within the Zhao Family's sphere of influence.
“Big Brother Xiao, besides the Zhao Family members, there are other humans here. Anyone who is willing can live here,” Zhao Yanfu introduced.
Xiao Fan nodded; the gap between Youming Prefecture and the other large prefectures was too obvious.
In Family cities like this in Yihuang Province and Wuhuang Province, the residents would either be direct descendants or people related by blood to the Family!
Yet the Human Race in Youming Prefecture was exceptionally united.
Of course, all of this was under a certain premise: the Demon Race and the Yao Race.
If those two races didn't exist and the Human Race ruled completely, Youming Prefecture probably wouldn't be much better than the other prefectures!
“Big Brother Xiao, please,” Zhao Yanfu and the others led Xiao Fan and Wei Zhongshan into the city.
“Who is Xiao Fan?!”
Just as they entered the city, several Zhao Family experts appeared ahead, and Zhao Bin was among them!
