Chapter 302: Chapter 282: Ningyuan’s Secret Room

Translator: 549690339

From the moment Shen Yurou said the name “I am Invincible”, Li Fan’s attention was drawn to Su Xiaomei.

He never expected to meet the owner of the alias “I am Invincible”, whom he had once seen on [Seated Discourse], under these circumstances.

Li Fan naturally became interested.

Since leaving a message about how to defeat senior apprentice-brother Zhang, he had disappeared without a trace.

He was nowhere to be found until Zhang Qianmo was defeated by Zhong Shentong.

Li Fan assumed that he’d already fallen.

But he’s alive and well.

“Why didn’t he challenge senior apprentice-brother Zhang later?”

Li Fan checked the battle records on the Seated Discourse and was somewhat puzzled.

He didn’t seem like someone who would brag without reason.

Moreover.

Li Fan opened the battle records of “I am Invincible” Shuo Feng’s previous bouts with Zhang Qianmo.

In his previous battles, Shuo Feng had also used a flying sword, which wasn’t bad at all.

However, it was a set of 81 Swords of Golden Progeny.

Which was far from the wooden sword he uses now.

“Is he hiding his strength, or…”

“Re-establishing his abilities?”

After practicing the Ocean Command Rapier and mastering the divine techniques of the 28 Thundercloud Swords.

Li Fan had some understanding of sword arts.

He compared the battle process between Shuo Feng and Zhang Qianmo and Su Xiaomei over and over again.

Li Fan concluded that the wooden sword’s power now was far greater than the previous set of Swords of Golden Progeny.

“Is this wooden sword a Natural Treasure?”

“and its quality…”

Having not seen the full extent of the wood sword’s power, Li Fan was cautious about making conclusions.

However, it’s safe to say that it transcends the realm of ordinary Miraculous Human Items.

“Earth’s Oddities?”

Li Fan’s mind wavered.

Luckily, Su Xiaomei, was also very curious about this wooden sword.

She launched a continuous barrage of questions on Li Fan’s behalf.

“Uncle, your wooden sword just now was quite impressive, can I borrow it to take a look?”

“Is it a Magic Treasure like the armor on your body?”

“You fight while wearing armor, that’s a cheap strategy.”

“I hit it with full strength and I still can’t break the armor! It’s really unfair!”

Shuo Feng was also a bit troubled by this brat, he lifted the clingy Su Xiaomei from his body and replied, “This is my Foundation Establishment Strange Object, the [Sword].”

“Only upon battle, could it be shown to a mortal.”

“As for the golden armor I’m wearing…” Shuo Feng patted his clothes with a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

“This was custom-made for me by my mother, the Frostive Immortal. Not to say your Foundation Establishment Stage, even Shen Yurou who recently obtained Nascent Soul, might not be able to break its defense.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaomei widened her eyes and touched Shuo Feng’s blue clothes with her little hand, full of envy.

Then she shook her head: “With that on, no ordinary person would want to fight you. How boring!”

Shuo Feng also sighed: “I can’t disobey my mother’s orders. Along the way, only cultivators who are unaware of my background like you are willing to fight me. Like Shen Yurou, no matter how I provoke her with my words, she won’t rise to the challenge.”

Su Xiaomei couldn’t help but ask: “What’s up with your techniques, why are they so weird? Can’t even launch an attack first? That’s no fun!”

Shuo Feng had a ‘you wouldn’t understand’ expression and smiled without answering.

Su Xiaomei persisted for a while, seeing that Shuo Feng had no intention of answering, she reluctantly pouted, giving up.

“You’ve always been the one asking questions, isn’t it my turn now? Whose disciple are you?” Shuo Feng asked with a smile.

“I won’t tell you!” Su Xiaomei glanced at him and humphed.

Shuo Feng was speechless.

Zhang Haobo at the side also chose to remain silent, showing no interest in the matter.

Shuo Feng could only ask again: “Well, let me guess then. You definitely aren’t locals from Jiushan Province. You must have come for the Chaoyuan Sect ruins, right?”

Su Xiaomei hummed again, effectively acknowledging the point.

Shuo Feng asked: “Coincidentally, I also intend to go there. Should we go together on this trip?”

Su Xiaomei looked up at Shuo Feng.

“Let’s go then!” she said.

She went forward, leading the way.

Shuo Feng chuckled and shook his head subtly.

Then he casually followed behind.

In this way, the team heading towards the Ruins of the Chaoyuan Sect expanded to three members.

There were many verbal skirmishes along the way.

Occasionally, Xiaomei and Shuo Feng would challenge each other again.

The region of Jiushan Province was vast.

There was still some time before their destination would be reached.

While Shuo Feng and his group were midway, Li Fan, who had been travelling for months, felt a heart sensation and was once again able to enter the Fallen Immortal Realm.

“Blessing Lifespan Xuan Huang Respectful Deity!”

As the ceremony began, Li Fan once again found himself outside Ningyuan City.

This time, Li Fan selected the same pretext as before.

He persuaded Brother Zhang to secretly infiltrate the city, then they divided up to investigate individually.

Li Fan’s goal this time was clear.

He skillfully borrowed some silver from the wealthy individuals within the city, and began investigating information about “Mr. Bai”.

They say money can make the devil turn millstones.

What made Li Fan somewhat puzzled was that despite sprinkling a lot of money, he wasn’t able to garner any useful information regarding “Mr. Bai”.

It was as if such a person didn’t exist in the city at all.

Li Fan had to change his approach, asking instead about the exceptionally handsome youths of the city.

Under the strange gaze of the locals, Li Fan shortlisted three candidates who satisfied the conditions.

Upon further investigation, seeing them in person, Li Fan dismissed the first two.

They were normal mortals, just a tad bit more attractive.

Only one was left.

Li Fan arrived at the doorway of the last target.

It was a small, remote and dilapidated courtyard.

According to the locals’ description, the owner of the courtyard was a somewhat frail young man.

This man was not a local.

He had come to Ningyuan City two years ago along with a group of refugees displaced by a disaster.

After buying this courtyard with the little silver he had left, he settled down here.

The young man kept a low profile, rarely showing his face in public.

It was said that he had impressive calligraphy skills, and made a living teaching the children of wealthy households in the town.

Despite his low profile, he was extremely good-looking, and everyone who had seen him praised his elegance and demeanor.

The young man’s information flickered in his mind.

Feeling no sign of life within, Li Fan entered the courtyard in a flash.

After a cursory scan with his divine sense, he found nothing unusual.

But Li Fan knew that Mr. Bai’s house contained a Statue made out of Absolute Immortal Stone, which could shield divine perception.

Not giving up so easily, Li Fan opened each door one by one, checking inside carefully.

Coming to a room in the west that seemed like a storage room, Li Fan paused slightly.

Tossing aside the miscellaneous items on the floor, Li Fan lifted a thin stone slab.

Below, a dark hole was revealed.

“Absolute Immortal Stone slab…”

“This is the place!”

A thin smirk emerged at the corner of Li Fan’s mouth as he jumped into the secret room below.

As soon as he touched ground, a faint smell of blood rushed towards him
