At that time, the Twelve Palaces had sent out so many people and among them, there was no lack of intelligent ones. Although they were loyal to the palaces they belonged to, they still retained a shred of rationality. Fan Zhuo's parents were one such example. They had found the Dark Emperor's tomb a step later than Hua Yao and the others, but they had been forced to make an agreement with those who had arrived a step earlier. They tattooed the map on their backs and returned to the Middle Realm.
Fan Zhuo's father seemed to have sensed something and he did not bring Fan Zhuo and his wife back but temporarily settled them down near the Heaven's End Cliff.
But when he returned to the Middle Realm, what awaited him was a nightmare.
He never had the chance to see his wife and son again. He and his entire family were accused of blaspheming the Dark Emperor's name and sentenced to death by a thousand cuts.
And the palace that he was in had also found out that his wife was wandering outside and in order to prevent the news from being leaked, they had sent people down to the Lower Realm to have her executed. Fan Zhuo's mother had died right before his eyes and he himself had been severely wounded by the people from the Twelve Palaces and thrown into the forest, where he was left to be devoured by the wild beasts.
Fortunately, Fan Qi had arrived in time and saved the severely wounded Fan Zhuo.
Fan Qi was indebted to Fan Zhuo's parents and Fan Qi had raised Fan Zhuo to repay the kindness. But after Fan Zhuo's health was severely wounded, his condition deteriorated day by day and in order to ensure Fan Zhuo's safety, Fan Qi had even referred to his biological son as his adopted son and treated Fan Zhuo as his real son, taking good care of him.
That was to prevent anyone from using his status as an adopted son to bully Fan Zhuo.
However, the injuries Fan Zhuo had sustained when he was young had caused him to suffer for a long period of time. Before he met Jun Xie, he had thought that he would not be able to live and no matter how much he hated the Twelve Palaces, he knew that he was powerless to change the situation.
If he could not even keep his life, what right did he have to fight against the Twelve Palaces?
Until Jun Wu Xie appeared, and completely changed his life!
Fan Zhuo told Jun Xie and the others everything about him, being so open and honest, which greatly surprised Qiao Chu and the others.
Fan Zhuo was right. They were all lucky enough to survive because of Yan Bu Gui. Yan Bu Gui had hidden them in the Phoenix Academy and successfully avoided the Twelve Palaces' pursuit. But Fan Zhuo had not been so lucky.
He had not only seen with his own eyes his own mother tragically die under the hands of the Twelve Palaces, even he himself had been severely wounded by the Twelve Palaces, where his bones and tendons were completely damaged, turning him into a crippled man.
Qiao Chu and the others had experienced firsthand how intense the blood feud and hatred was and they naturally understood why Fan Zhuo would make such a probe.
"But now, everything is different. I see that all of you seem to be intending to go to the Dark Emperor's tomb. Why is that?" Fan Zhuo's expression was calm, and there was even a smile at the corner of his mouth. It was as if everything he said was a story that had happened to someone else.
But Qiao Chu and the others would never forget, just a moment ago, how deep the hatred in Fan Zhuo's eyes had been.
"We need to become stronger. The Dark Emperor's tomb holds the most powerful magical weapon in the Middle Realm. As long as we are able to find the Dark Emperor's tomb, we will definitely possess the power to exact vengeance on the Twelve Palaces!" Qiao Chu said as he drew in a deep breath, not hiding anything anymore.
Fan Zhuo laughed.
"That's a good idea, but the Dark Emperor's tomb isn't that easy to find."
"No matter how difficult it is, we must still give it a try. This is the only chance we have to gain the power to stand against the Twelve Palaces." Hua Yao said resolutely.
