While Xiao Fan had successfully taken away the Daluo Dragon Tree in the belly of the mountain, the forced offering of blood essence was still going on outside.
Almost everyone in the huge crowd had a look of unwillingness on their faces, but they were all intimidated by Esteemed Master Wuzhen's power. No one dared to take the lead and lead everyone to rebel against Esteemed Master Wuzhen.
In the end, everyone had no choice but to submit to Esteemed Master Wuzhen's power and hand over their blood essence one by one.
"These people are all my friends. Can you exempt them from the blood essence between their eyebrows as well?" Duan Xuan asked as he pointed at Wu Zheng, Wu Ruoqing, and the other young disciples of the Wu Family of Ping Yang.
"Young Master Duan, I'm sorry, but I can't!" Esteemed Master Wuzhen's disciple shook his head and said indifferently.
"You can't do it on account of our Duan Family?" Duan Xuan asked with an ugly expression.
"At most one person!" Esteemed Master Wuzhen's disciple sighed and said indifferently.
"Third Uncle, there's no other way. I can only choose Qingqing!" Duan Xuan said as he shook his head at Wu Zheng.
"It's fine. We'll save as many people as we can!" Wu Zheng smiled bitterly, but there was nothing he could do.
The other disciples of the Wu Family of Ping Yang couldn't hide their disappointment, as well as their jealousy and envy towards Wu Ruoqing. A few girls, in particular, stared straight at Duan Xuan, as if they wanted nothing more than to push Wu Ruoqing to the side and stand by Duan Xuan's side.
"Why can't I marry such a good husband?" a girl said faintly.
"Young Master Duan is so resourceful and capable. He's completely unlike the sickly Young Master Xu we saw before. He doesn't know anything at all and loves to boast. It's simply laughable!" another girl said as she looked at Duan Xuan with a burning gaze.
"That's right. It's better for a man to be practical. I have to say that Qingqing is really lucky!" a third girl chimed in with a sigh.
Wu Zheng and the others quickly handed over their blood essence between their eyebrows, and then the forced offering continued. Judging by the situation, they should be able to collect everyone's blood essence between their eyebrows in a short while.
However, at this moment, a figure rushed over from the distance in a panic. He arrived before Venerable Wuzhen's feet in an instant. It was Peng Peng.
"Peng Peng, why are you so flustered? Where is Xiao Fan's statue?" Exalted Master Wuzhen frowned as he looked at Peng Peng.
"Mas, Master, Xiao, Xiao Fan is here!" Peng Peng repeatedly kowtowed to Master Wuzhen before he cried out in horror.
"Xiao Fan? He's here? What do you mean? " Exalted Master Wuzhen immediately became stunned when he heard Peng Peng's words. Goddess Qianyu, Saintess Ming Yu, Wang Luoying, Song Xinshuang, and the others all looked over in confusion. They did not understand what Peng Peng meant.
"Xiao Fan isn't dead. He's right here!" Peng Peng screamed.
"What did you say? Xiao Fan isn't dead? " Suddenly, Exalted Master Wuzhen's face changed drastically. He immediately descended and stood before Peng Peng. At the same time, he extended his hand and grabbed Peng Peng into the air as he roared.
"Xiao Fan isn't dead?" Peng Peng's voice was very loud. It spread across the entire place in an instant, allowing everyone on the mountain peak to hear the news.
In an instant, the entire peak of Tianfeng Mountain fell deathly silent. Everyone's face was filled with intense shock as they looked in the direction of Peng Peng and Exalted Master Wuzhen in disbelief.
There was no doubt that Xiao Fan had died on Jade Mountain. Now, Peng Peng actually said that Xiao Fan was not dead and that Xiao Fan was on the peak of Tianfeng Mountain. How could this not shock everyone?
"Just now, before Senior Sister Ziruo's funeral began, I stopped two people at the foot of the mountain. They were not there to attend Senior Sister Ziruo's funeral, but they insisted on going up the mountain!" Peng Peng said in a hurried voice, "One of them was Xiao Fan!"
"Then why didn't you recognize him at that time?" Exalted Master Wuzhen roared furiously.
"Master, I have never seen Xiao Fan before. I also did not know what Xiao Fan looked like!" Peng Peng smiled bitterly and said, "Just now, I went to look for a portrait of Xiao Fan. When I saw Xiao Fan's portrait, I realized that the person was Xiao Fan!"
"Are you sure you didn't see wrongly?" Goddess Qian Yu's eyes narrowed as she asked.
"I definitely didn't see wrongly!" Peng Peng immediately took out a portrait from his bosom and unfolded it. He shouted, "That person looks exactly the same as the one in this portrait. If this portrait is correct, I definitely won't be mistaken!"
Looking at the portrait of Xiao Fan, Saintess Ming Yu's expression changed. She seemed to be in disbelief as she said, "Xiao Fan is clearly dead. How could he be resurrected?"
"Saintess Ming Yu, I'm not the only one who has seen Xiao Fan. Some of my junior brothers have seen him as well. Moreover, Duan Xuan, Duan Xuan, and the people from the Wu Family of Ping Yang have also seen him because Xiao Fan came with them!" Peng Peng shouted.
"Duan Xuan? The Wu Family of Ping Yang? " In an instant, everyone's gazes focused on Duan Xuan, Wu Zheng, Wu Ruoqing, and the other disciples of the Wu Family of Ping Yang.
"Xiao Fan came with us!" Hearing Peng Peng's shout, Duan Xuan, Wu Zheng, Wu Ruoqing, and the other disciples of the Wu Family of Ping Yang froze like statues as if they were struck by lightning.
But soon!
"It's that Young Master Xu!" Duan Xuan was the first to react. His face instantly turned pale as he cried out in alarm.
Wu Zheng, Wu Ruoqing, and the other disciples of the Wu Family of Ping Yang also reacted in an instant. Then, they were all stunned on the spot, unable to say a word.
"This old man can ask you, is this person among the two people who came with you?" Esteemed Wuzhen held the portrait of Xiao Fan in his hand. In a flash, he arrived before Duan Xuan, Wu Zheng, Wu Ruoqing, and the other disciples of the Wu Family of Ping Yang. Then, he stared at everyone and asked in an extremely low voice.
"Yes!" Duan Xuan, Wu Zheng, Wu Ruoqing, and the other disciples of the Wu Family of Ping Yang trembled. Their eyes were filled with fear as they nodded reluctantly.
"Then that's not bad!" Esteemed Wuzhen's eyes suddenly burst with two balls of heart-palpitating light. He opened his mouth and said slowly, a sharp killing intent slowly rising in his eyes.
"But it could also be someone who looks like him!" Goddess Qianyu raised her doubts and said.
"If it's Xiao Fan's original body or someone who looks like him, it'll be clear at a glance once we find him!" Esteemed Wuzhen shouted forcefully. Then, he once again looked at Duan Xuan, Wu Zheng, Wu Ruoqing, and the other disciples of the Wu Family of Ping Yang and said coldly, "Since that Xiao Fan came with you, then what about the other person, Xiao Fan? Where are they now? "
"I don't know. Because when we went up the mountain, the two of them insisted on not coming to attend Fairy Ziruo's funeral and insisted on going up the mountain, so they were stopped by Peng Peng. We went up the mountain first and separated from them!" Duan Xuan looked at Esteemed Wuzhen who was on the verge of exploding in anger and felt his scalp go numb. He hurriedly said with a slight stutter.
"Peng Peng!" Esteemed Wuzhen immediately turned his head and shouted at Peng Peng.
"Xiao Fan and Princess Mu Yan's people are together. After Young Master Duan Xuan and the others went up the mountain, a fatty with Princess Mu Yan's token appeared and wanted to bring Xiao Fan up the mountain. I couldn't stop him, so I could only let them come up as well!" Peng Peng said hurriedly.
"Where are Princess Mu Yan's people?" Esteemed Wuzhen shouted.
"Master, Princess Mu Yan's people are over here!" One of Esteemed Wuzhen's disciples pointed at the group of people brought by Yan Ziping and shouted.
Esteemed Wuzhen immediately moved over.
"Speak, where is Xiao Fan?" Esteemed Wuzhen immediately grabbed at a person and shouted angrily.
However!
"Boom!"
A white light shot down and directly broke Esteemed Wuzhen's hand. Then, a figure with a delicate fragrance fell from the sky and blocked Esteemed Wuzhen and these people.
It was Princess Mu Yan!
As for Fairy Ziruo, she stood in the distance and didn't attack.
"Esteemed Wuzhen, it's not good for you to attack the people of our Qinghua Ancient City's City Lord Mansion like this, right?" Princess Mu Yan looked at Esteemed Wuzhen in front of her and said calmly.
"They know Xiao Fan's whereabouts!" Esteemed Wuzhen shouted.
"Xiao Fan's whereabouts?" Princess Mu Yan was stunned. She and Fairy Ziruo had fought for half a day and had just returned. She didn't know what had happened.
"Xiao Fan is here. Moreover, it's your people who brought Xiao Fan up!" Esteemed Wuzhen stared at Princess Mu Yan. His voice was filled with suppressed anger as he said, "Princess Mu Yan, I advise you not to delay my interrogation. Otherwise, don't blame me for injuring you. It won't be easy to explain to your father!"
"Esteemed Wuzhen, feel free to try!" Princess Mu Yan's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness. She looked at Esteemed Wuzhen and said indifferently.
"You …!" Esteemed Wuzhen held his breath and couldn't say a word.
Esteemed Wuzhen was very clear about how terrifying the City Lord Mansion was in Qinghua Ancient City. He didn't dare to hurt Princess Mu Yan. He knew the consequences.
"Princess Mu Yan, you shouldn't do this. Xiao Fan is Esteemed Wuzhen's mortal enemy. It's inappropriate for you to stop Esteemed Wuzhen from taking revenge!" Song Xinshuang said.
"I'm not stopping him. It's just that not everyone can interrogate the people of my Qinghua Ancient City's City Lord Mansion!" Princess Mu Yan glanced at Song Xinshuang and said calmly.
"This old man is too impatient. However, please …!" Esteemed Wuzhen forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked at Princess Mu Yan and took a few deep breaths. He forced himself to calm down and said.
However, before Esteemed Wuzhen could finish his words, at this moment!
"Boom!"
Behind him, the platform that originally held Fairy Ziruo's coffin suddenly shattered, and then three figures slowly walked out under everyone's gaze, appearing in front of everyone.
