Chapter 790 Imperial Ancestor

"Senior, what are you saying…" Xiao Fan said.

He could also tell that the situation in Youming Prefecture was indeed very dire!

Who could have imagined that the imperial capital of one of the Nine Prefectures would end up in such a state!

With the Ancestor of the Zhao Family leading the way, the group faced no obstacles and entered the imperial palace directly.

"Senior Zhao, Head of the Zhao Family, why have you both come?" The ruler of Youming Prefecture, a middle-aged man, came out to greet them personally.

"There are some matters, so I wished to request an audience with Brother Guo," the Ancestor of the Zhao Family said. His face was aged, and a scent of decay constantly radiated from his body.

"Very well, Senior Zhao, please wait a moment," the ruler of Youming Prefecture said.

He was also very polite to the Head of the Zhao Family…

After all, the Zhao Family was also a major Family of the Human Race and a force in resisting foreign races.

"Sorry to trouble you," the Ancestor of the Zhao Family said politely.

During this time, Xiao Fan, Wei Zhongshan, and Zhao Yanfu remained behind him. When Xiao Fan saw the ruler of Youming Prefecture, he merely cupped his hands slightly.

The ruler of Youming Prefecture ordered someone to notify the Imperial Ancestor, and after a short while…

"Senior Zhao, the Old Ancestor has agreed; you may go see him now," the ruler of Youming Prefecture said after glancing at the communication jade slip.

"Very well," the Ancestor of the Zhao Family nodded, then looked at Xiao Fan.

"Could this young friend accompany me?"

"Uh… certainly… Senior, please do as you wish," the ruler of Youming Prefecture said.

"Many thanks," the Ancestor of the Zhao Family said, then took Xiao Fan with him.

The ruler of Youming Prefecture led the way personally, bringing Xiao Fan and the Ancestor of the Zhao Family into the underground palace.

This was the underground palace of the Youming Prefecture imperial Family.

"Senior Zhao, you and this young friend may go in."

"Very well."

With that said, the Ancestor of the Zhao Family and Xiao Fan entered the underground palace.

After entering the underground palace, Xiao Fan could feel a vast aura within…

At the same time, upon entering the palace, Xiao Fan could smell the scent of vitality…

It was not radiating from a Cultivator, but from a large quantity of Heaven And Earth Treasure, all of which were for boosting Lifespan…

"Could it be that the Old Ancestor of Youming Prefecture is truly nearing the end of his Lifespan…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself.

The Ancestor of the Zhao Family's expression was calm, but Xiao Fan could see a hint of melancholy in his eyes; it seemed he knew some inside information.

After the two walked for a while, they reached the center of the underground palace!

This was a magnificent underground palace, even more opulent than the imperial palace above…

In the center of this underground palace sat an old man. His body was withered, his eyes were dull, and he was surrounded by a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure, all used for replenishing Lifespan.

And the aura radiating from this old man far surpassed that of the Ancestor of the Zhao Family…

"Brother Guo, it has been a long time," the Ancestor of the Zhao Family said in a deep voice, his expression serious…

He had not expected the current situation of the Imperial Ancestor to be so dire.

"It has indeed been a long time, five hundred years, has it not…" the Imperial Ancestor said, his voice extremely aged…

If not for these Heaven And Earth Treasures, Xiao Fan believed that this Imperial Ancestor might have already died long ago.

"Indeed, five hundred years," the Ancestor of the Zhao Family said with a melancholy expression, as if recalling the past.

"Why have you come here? And this little fellow beside you does not seem to be of your Zhao Family Bloodline…" the Imperial Ancestor said, looking at Xiao Fan.

The aura radiating from Xiao Fan was potent. Although he was only in the Yuanhun Realm, this Foundation shocked even him!

The other party was definitely a rare Prodigy!

"This young friend is named Xiao Fan… strictly speaking, he can be considered my Zhao Family's son-in-law," the Ancestor of the Zhao Family said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan was speechless…

However, the other party was not wrong; he really was the son-in-law of his Zhao Family now!

"Not bad, not bad, young and promising," the Imperial Ancestor said with a chuckle, his face kind.

In Youming Prefecture, all the Human Race are one Family!

When a Genius is born to the Human Race, his imperial Family is naturally happy!

"It is a pity… Xiao Fan is not from our Youming Prefecture; he comes from Tianshen Prefecture…"

The Ancestor of the Zhao Family sighed and said, "This is also the reason I came to find you; I hope to borrow your imperial Family's teleportation array to send this young friend to Tianshen Prefecture."

"So that is how it is."

The Imperial Ancestor's gaze was deep as he stared at Xiao Fan for a long moment.

He had just been surprised, wondering how he could be unaware if Youming Prefecture possessed such a young Prodigy.

As it turned out… the other party actually came from Tianshen Prefecture.

He felt that Xiao Fan must be a young Prodigy from some major power in Tianshen Prefecture, who had come to Youming Prefecture for training.

But he could not understand… which power would send their Disciple to Youming Prefecture!

"You also know that the imperial Family's teleportation array… if one wishes to activate it, it is very troublesome…" the Imperial Ancestor said in a deep voice.

"I am naturally aware of this…" the Ancestor of the Zhao Family said, "The Spirit Stones required, my Zhao Family can provide."

"Sigh, it is not just a matter of Spirit Stones… You also know how many people have come to beg, hoping to borrow my imperial Family's teleportation array, hoping to send their descendants away, and I have never agreed… It is purely out of fear that the hearts of the people in Youming Prefecture would be thrown into chaos, leaving no successors."

The Imperial Ancestor sighed.

Xiao Fan stood stunned to the side; he felt that the situation in Youming Prefecture seemed even more serious than he had imagined!
