Chapter 98: Chapter Ninety-Eight: Meet an Acquaintance
Translator: 549690339
On a certain seaside in the Endless Sea, a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air, falling onto the sand.
“Old Jian, you already knew, didn’t you?” Ye Xiaoyao angrily said in his heart.
“l didn’t know, I just guessed it.” Old Jian quietly replied.
“Why didn’t you say it earlier? The Giant Slaughter Demon Venerable is a well-known figure in the Demon Spirit World, with unparalleled combat power.”
“Once he arrives, the entire Xiangzhou will be finished,” Ye Xiaoyao said in despair, feeling as if he had harmed the people of the entire state. “I tried to dissuade you, but you didn’t listen,” Old Jian replied helplessly.
“Then you should have been more explicit.”
“If I had been more explicit and you showed any signs of panic, you would have died. Not all those Demon Venerables are pushovers,” Old Jian said.
“At least, you could have thrown away the magical treasure that allows transportation,” Ye Xiaoyao said despondently, holding his head. He knew he had no other choice at that time.
Old Jian remained silent. He knew that his words of comfort would be futile.
At this moment, an old man with a young girl appeared on the beach.
“Fellow, looking at your extraordinary bones, I wonder if you’re interested in joining the Central State Sword King Sect. Our sect leader is at the Mahayana stage. ”
On seeing Ye Xiaoyao, the old man’s eyes brightened up. A dispirited Sword Immortal youth needed to be redeemed.
On the other side, after Xu Fan and the others had just arrived in Extreme North City, they heard the news of the destruction of the Heavenly Gate and the Forbidden Land Defense Line the very next day.
Inside an inn, Wang Yulun’s family and Xu Fan’s disciples gathered together.
“How are things with your family?” Xu Fan asked.
“All’s well. They’re planning to move to Yulong State. Brother Xu, do you want to come with me?” replied Yulun.
Yulong State is separated from Xiangzhou by a large continent and is also the strongest large continent in the southern region around it.
“I plan to take them directly to Zhongzhou to check out the most powerful continent in the Central Continent of the Cultivation World,” Xu Fan said after some thought. Now, all he wanted was to distance himself from this place rife with troubles. It would be useless even if he stayed.
“Zhongzhou, the cost of spirit stones just for cross-state teleportation would be quite high,” Wang Yulun said.
“Why don’t you come to Zhongzhou with me? With my identity as a master of both alchemy and artifact refining, we can at least make a living there.”
“For the spirit stones needed for cross-border teleportation, I’ll cover it for you,” Xu Fan said. He definitely wouldn’t give up on Wang Yulun, who was like a ‘bug.’
Besides. your two sons are with me. We’re in this together.
After hearing Xu Fan’s words, Yulun and Murong Qian’er exchanged glances. Their youngest daughter then said, “Dad and mum, why don’t we take a look at the bright side?”
After Murong Qian’er gave Wang Yulun a look as if asking him to decide, Wang Yulun cupped his hands at Xu Fan and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble Brother Xu. Give me a days time.”
Xu Fan punched Wang Yulun on the shoulder.
“We’ve been bros for decades, and now you’re being polite with me,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Yuexian, plan the route. We will set off the day after tomorrow,” Xu Fan said.
He could foresee that according to the unfolding drama, the surrounding states of Xiangzhou would be implicated in the days to come. It would be better to do it once and for all, and seek refuge directly in Zhongzhou.
As for saving the world, that’s Zhu Jiao’s problem. It may even be a mess stirred up by him.
If the world really needs him to save, he needs to be given 5,000 years to become invincible.
On the third day, when everything was ready, Wang Yulun brought everyone on his flying ship to the edge of Xiangzhou where the border teleportation array was. They found the place was already crowded with cultivators waiting to teleport.
There were not a few cultivators who had the same idea as Xu Fan.
“Master, what should we do?” Xu Yuexian asked. With so many people here, it might not be their turn by the time the world comes to an end. Moreover, at least there were Nascent Soul Stage cultivators waiting here.
“Is there any other way?”
Honestly, their group of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators really stood out among these Nascent Soul and God
Transformation cultivators. The slightest propensity to play tricks on their part would probably spell doom for their entire group.
“Master Xu, didn’t expect to meet you here. What a coincidence.”
A burly hand landed on Xu Fan’s shoulder, causing Xu Fan to sink a foot lower.
“Shan Chen, I can’t withstand your Void Refining Stage sturdy palm,” Xu Fan turned back to face Shan Chen, someone he had previously met at the Forbidden Land Defense Line.
“Where do you guys wish to go? Maybe we’re heading the same way,” Shan Chen said with a smile. Getting acquainted with a potentially powerful Artifact Refiner was definitely the right choice.
“Shan Chen, we plan to head to Zhongzhou,” Xu Fan replied directly. He was certain Shan Chen, the powerful Void Cultivation stage cultivator, was definitely interested in getting acquainted with him. If they could go together, it would be an added bonus.
“Zhongzhou,” Shan Chen’s eyes lit up.
“l also plan to go to Zhongzhou. If you don’t mind, we can travel together.”
“Of course we don’t mind. With you around, aren’t we all that much safer?” Xu Fan said with a smile, thinking that his biggest problem heading to Zhongzhou had been solved.
“Alright then, follow me,” Shan Chen said, leading Xu Fan and his group forward, under the envious gazes of the Nascent Soul and God
Transformation cultivators who were waiting in line for the teleportation array.
“l often went on missions to other states before, so 1 know some of the seniors here.”
“They won’t teleport us for free, but they can give us a 30% discount.” Shan Chen was chatting with Xu Fan and leading the way at the same time.
This made Xu Fan’s followers admire him even more.
“Husband, Master is so amazing. Even the formidable Void Refining stage senior is willing to make friends with Master,” Xiao Xi whispered to Xu Gang.
“Master is amazing in both alchemy and artifact refining. It’s only a matter of time before he becomes a Grandmaster,” he said.
“Like this senior, he definitely wants Master to help him refine a Dao tool.”
Then, Shan Chen led Xu Fan and his group to an internal cross-state teleportation array which was exclusively for God Transformation cultivators.
“What, the teleportation fee has now risen to 3 million Spirit Stones per person!” Shan Chen exclaimed. Before, it only cost 500,000 Spirit Stones per person here.
“And no discounts,” the Nascent Soul cultivator responsible for maintaining the teleportation array said helplessly.
“Master Xu, not only can we not get a discount, but the fee has increased,” Shan Chen said with slight regret.
Xu Fan took out a Storage Bag with 30 million Spirit Stones in it. Over the years, Xu Fan had made a fortune with the orders from the Wild Territory Chamber of Commerce. This amount of Spirit Stones was nothing for him.
“Senior, here are exactly 30 million Spirit Stones, please also include Shan Chen senior’s,” Xu Fan said. Now was the time to escape, there wasn’t much point in counting little pennies.
The Nascent Soul cultivator in charge of maintaining the normal operation of the array took the Storage Bag, checked it, and then activated the teleportation array.
Shengling State, the most prosperous Main Immortal City, was the farthest that the cross-border teleportation array could teleport..
