Chapter 785: A Great Stir

Zhao Wuya's crushing defeat was something no one had expected!

This young Prodigy from outside possessed a formidable strength that surpassed everyone's imagination!

Even the Elders of the Zhao Family felt the same way!

They couldn't fathom where another prefecture could produce a young Prodigy of this caliber!

Despite being only in the Yuanhun Realm, he had easily defeated Zhao Wuya, a powerful expert at the third level of the Yuding Realm!

This incident would undoubtedly turn Zhao Wuya into a stepping stone for Xiao Fan.

It allowed Xiao Fan's reputation to shine brilliantly within Zhao Family City!

At this moment, not only had the Third Elder arrived in the shadows, but many other Zhao Family Elders had also gathered…

No one expected that Xiao Fan could erupt with such terrifying power just now!

Forget Zhao Wuya; even they had felt a sense of dread!

Terrifying—this young Prodigy was simply too terrifying!

“If only such a talent were a member of our Zhao Family, how wonderful that would be…”

Someone sighed from the shadows; this person's cultivation was extremely high, their aura reaching the Early Stage of the Jiesheng Realm!

“There is nothing to be done… A Prodigy like this is likely a once-in-ten-million-years find…”

Another voice responded from the darkness…

These two were none other than the Head of the Zhao Family and the Grand Elder of the Zhao Family.

They had also arrived, secretly watching this match from the shadows!

They had originally thought this would be a well-matched contest!

In the end, who could have guessed that Zhao Wuya, their Zhao Family's young Prodigy, wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow!

It was embarrassing—or rather, it was an absolute disgrace.

Unlike other prefectures, within the cities of the Youming Prefecture, there were other members of the Human Race present besides the Zhao Family.

It was fundamentally impossible to keep this matter hidden!

Word would spread sooner or later, and this incident would undoubtedly have a massive impact on the Zhao Family's reputation!

The Zhao Family's young Prodigy, defeated in a single strike by a Yuanhun Realm Prodigy!

One could imagine how significant the impact on the Zhao Family would be; more importantly, Zhao Wuya's reputation was ruined…

And the culprit responsible for all of this was Zhao Bin!

Zhao Wuya had also come to his senses by now… Zhao Bin had set him up!

That guy told him that Xiao Fan was very weak and that Zhao Yanfu had feelings for this outsider, which was why he had acted this way!

He thought this outsider had used schemes to seduce Zhao Yanfu!

“Zhao Bin!!!”

Inside his private Secret Room, Zhao Wuya roared in fury; he realized he had been played!

Meanwhile, elsewhere…

Xiao Fan went to Zhao Yanfu's home.

Zhao Yanfu's great-grandfather was also an Elder in the Zhao Family's Council of Elders.

In the Zhao Family, the title of 'Elder' corresponded to the 'Clan Elders' of other prefectures.

These Elders were numerous, and only descendants of the Zhao Family's direct Bloodline could enter the Council of Elders.

After Xiao Fan arrived, he came forward to pay his respects to Zhao Yanfu's great-grandfather.

This old gentleman had also appeared by the Arena just now; Xiao Fan knew the old man had gone there for his sake.

However, Xiao Fan's manner of greeting was the same as before—a slight cupping of his fists, but no bowing!

Because in these Nine Provinces, there was no one who could receive a bow from him, Xiao Fan.

“Good, good. Young friend, I did not expect you to possess such strength at such a young age. You have truly impressed this old man…” Zhao Yanfu's great-grandfather said, showing no signs of anger.

He even believed that young people should have this kind of arrogance!

Given the strength Xiao Fan had displayed, he might even be more powerful than the old man himself!

Such a young Prodigy had a limitless future ahead of him.

He was pleased to see his descendant befriending such a Prodigy.

“You flatter me, Senior,” Xiao Fan said with a smile, cupping his fists.

“Young friend, I heard from Fu'er that you are from an outside prefecture and wish to use the Great Teleportation Formation to leave?” the old man asked.

“Yes,” Xiao Fan nodded.

“Great-grandfather, please help Big Brother Xiao. He wants to return to Tianshen Prefecture, but he cannot leave right now…” Zhao Yanfu said from the side.

When she mentioned Xiao Fan, her face was full of respect and admiration…

What woman wouldn't love such a Prodigy and Genius?

Moreover, Xiao Fan was her savior!

“Hmm… Regarding this matter, I will take you to meet the Family Head. If he agrees as well, we shall go together to see the Old Ancestor…” the old man said.

The Great Teleportation Formations were only in the hands of the Imperial Family.

In the Zhao Family, the only one who could speak with the Imperial Family was the Ancestor of the Zhao Family.

In Youming Prefecture, families of various surnames were countless!

And the control of the Imperial Family was even more startling than one might imagine!

“Alright, thank you, Senior!” Xiao Fan cupped his fists and thanked the old man.

“Don't mention it, you're too polite,” the old man said with a chuckle.

The next day…

Zhao Family City!

“Have you heard? Zhao Wuya was defeated… beaten in a single blow by an outsider in the Yuanhun Realm!”

“More than just heard it, I saw it with my own eyes! That young Genius from outside is truly terrifying!”

“Yeah, I saw it too. That battle was really… tsk tsk…”

“Are all outsiders this strong?!”

“…”

Discussions about Xiao Fan were everywhere in Zhao Family City!

At this time, Xiao Fan and Zhao Yanfu's great-grandfather had entered the main hall of the Zhao Family!

This was the place where the Head of the Zhao Family resided!
