Xiao Fan didn't say anything in response to the cold words of almost all the young geniuses from the Ironwood Sect. He only shook his head gently.
The Ironwood Sect and Xiao Fan were not related at all. If it wasn't for Zuo Leng's kind offer to bring him along, Xiao Fan wouldn't have cared about the death of the Ironwood Sect.
Unfortunately, the Ironwood Sect didn't listen to his advice and insisted on seeking death. Xiao Fan couldn't be bothered to say anything more.
However, Zuo Leng, as well as the Ironwood Sect elder who had agreed to let him board the ship, had to be saved. As for the other people of the Ironwood Sect, if they wanted to court death, then they could court death. It had nothing to do with Xiao Fan.
"Let's go. We'll pass through the crater and head to the Heavenly Clouds Mansion!"
After muttering to themselves for several breaths, the few leading Iron Wood Sect elders finally made a decision. Their expressions hardened as they opened their mouths to give the order.
"Let's go!"
As soon as they finished speaking, all the people from the Ironwood Sect immediately returned to the Divine Boat. They were about to start the Divine Boat and pass through the crater.
Xiao Fan held the Akira Yuki in his arms and stood in the air with Xingqing. His body didn't move and his eyes were downcast. He didn't return to the boat.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Xiao!" Zuo Leng actually wanted to speak up for Xiao Fan, but he didn't know what to say. Moreover, the leading Ironwood Sect elders had already made the final decision. Hence, Zuo Leng was helpless. He could only smile bitterly at Xiao Fan and apologize.
"Martial Uncle Zuo, there's no need to pay attention to this person. Let's go!" Before Xiao Fan could respond, the 15 geniuses from the Ironwood Sect in the Divine Boat called Zuo Leng back to the Divine Boat.
"Goodbye, Young Master Xiao!" Zuo Leng cupped his fists at Xiao Fan and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Fan called out and stopped Zuo Leng.
"Is there anything else, Young Master Xiao?" Zuo Leng suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xiao Fan. He was stunned for a moment before he spoke.
"The journey ahead is really a journey of certain death. I don't care about the life and death of others, but I must care about your life and death!" Xiao Fan looked at Zuo Leng and said slowly.
"Xiao Fan, right?" Tie Chen had already heard about Xiao Fan's name from the 15 geniuses of the Ironwood Sect in the Divine Boat that Xiao Fan had been on. Thus, he said coldly, "The Ironwood Sect can't be bothered to argue with you. Yet, you're still trying to mislead us? Could it be that you really want me to capture you before you're satisfied? "
"Holy Son, please capture this man and interrogate him to see if he's an evildoer sent by other big sects to deal with our Ironwood Sect!" One of the geniuses of the Ironwood Sect shouted as he looked at Xiao Fan in an unfriendly manner.
"Young Master Xiao, please leave quickly. The Ironwood Sect can't be bothered to argue with you. However, if you continue to be so insensible, then don't blame us for being merciless!" A girl from the Ironwood Sect who was on the same boat as Xiao Fan said coldly. Her beautiful face was full of displeasure.
"You're trying to mislead us with your lies. You must be up to no good. I'll capture you first!" Tie Chen put his hands behind his back and walked out of the Divine Boat. He looked at Xiao Fan and sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked mercilessly. He spread his fingers and a wisp of Green Wood Qi wrapped around his palm. Then, this wisp of Green Wood Qi turned into a big green wooden hand in the air and grabbed at Xiao Fan.
"That's enough!"
Just as Tie Chen's big green wooden hand was about to land on Xiao Fan's head, the elder who allowed Xiao Fan to get on the boat frowned and said. At the same time, he shook his hand slightly and directly dispersed Tie Chen's big green wooden hand that was grabbing at Xiao Fan.
"Thirteenth Elder!"
Seeing that his attack was dispelled, Tie Chen was immediately dissatisfied. He immediately looked at the elder of the Ironwood Sect. His eyes were bright as he spoke.
"Young Master Xiao's motive is just a guess. There's no real evidence to prove that he has other motives!" The elder shook his head and said, "And before there's real evidence, you can't accuse others!"
"His motive can't be more obvious. Why do we need real evidence?" Tie Chen's face darkened as he said, "Thirteenth Elder, before I set off, the Sect Master gave me the Ironwood Token. I have the right to act on my own!"
"There's no need to say anything. Everything ends here. Everyone, set off for the Heavenly Clouds Mansion!" Hearing Tie Chen's words, the elder frowned as if he wanted to say something. However, in the end, he just shook his head and didn't say anything. Then, he looked forward and gave a simple order.
"Yes, Elder!" The person in charge of controlling the Divine Boat responded respectfully. Then, he started the Divine Boat and was about to move forward.
Seeing this, Tie Chen's face turned pale. He looked at Xiao Fan coldly and didn't make a move in the end. Instead, he turned around and returned to the Divine Boat. He didn't want to continue fighting with Xiao Fan.
The Saintess of the Ironwood Sect didn't say anything. She just looked at all of this thoughtfully. Her gaze lingered on Xiao Fan for a long time. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Let's go!"
All the elders of the Ironwood Sect gave the order.
As soon as they finished speaking, the light green Divine Boats of the Ironwood Sect suddenly emitted a faint glow. Then, their auras connected, and the glow on the Divine Boats fused together as if they were one. They slowly flew toward the sky above the sinkhole.
Although they didn't listen to Xiao Fan in the end and followed Tie Chen's suggestion, these elders of the Ironwood Sect were very careful. Before they passed through the sinkhole, they first activated the defensive mechanism on the Divine Boats.
It would be best if everything went as usual. However, if there were any unexpected situations, they would be prepared to a certain extent. They wouldn't be in a panic and exhausted when danger was right in front of them.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Not far away, there was a big sect that was delayed by something like the Ironwood Sect. They were the last batch of people to go to the Heavenly Clouds Mansion.
There were a lot of people from this big sect this time. There were thousands of people riding on chariots. They were extremely imposing. They arrived above the sinkhole before the people of the Ironwood Sect and wanted to cross the sinkhole.
However, as soon as they arrived above the sinkhole, a shrill sound that almost tore their eardrums apart was heard from the sinkhole.
Then, countless humanoid monsters that emitted an extremely strong stench rushed out of the sinkhole. Their bodies were covered with white maggots, and there was an unknown black and green sticky liquid all over their bodies. They opened their ferocious black mouths and pounced on everyone from this big sect.
"Ahh!" "Ahh!" "Ahh!"
Screams filled with horror suddenly resounded in the sky above the sinkhole!
"What?"
Seeing this scene, the Divine Boats of the Ironwood Sect immediately stopped at the edge of the Heavenly Pit. Then, all the people of the Ironwood Sect rushed out of the Divine Boats and looked at the scalp-numbing scene in the distance with incomparably shocked eyes.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"
The sound of flesh and blood being torn apart rang out continuously. A large group of Rotten Underworld Ghosts were fighting for food in the air. In the blink of an eye, they were torn apart in the air.
Their flesh and bones were snatched clean by the Rotten Underworld Ghosts. Even the blood that spilled out was licked clean by the Rotten Underworld Ghosts.
Finally, they were completely devoured by the Rotten Underworld Ghosts. Not a single bit of them was left.
It was not that the people of this big sect did not retaliate. They tried to kill the Rotten Underworld Ghosts and escape to save their lives.
But it was useless!
All their attacks had no effect on the Rotten Underworld Ghosts. Other than some rotten flesh that was emitting a strong stench, they could not do any real damage to the Rotten Underworld Ghosts.
In fact, even the tens of greater celestial cultivators of this big sect could not do anything. Although they were not killed immediately, they could only hold on for 15 minutes before they could not hold on any longer.
Then, they screamed miserably as the Underworld Rotting Ghosts swarmed over and tore their bodies apart. Then, they were completely eaten.
Silence!
A deathly silence!
Everyone from the Ironwood Sect watched the scene unfold before them as their breathing quickened and their minds temporarily went blank.
Fortunately, they were a step too late and did not enter the sky above the sinkhole. Otherwise, they would have been torn apart by the swarming Underworld Corrosive Ghosts just like the rest of the people from this great sect.
What Xiao Fan had said was true!
"These Rotten Underworld Ghosts wanted to kill us. But, the big sect had more people. To the Rotten Underworld Ghosts, that was the real feast!" At this moment, Xiao Fan's expression was calm as he looked at everything in the distance and said, "So in the end, the Abyss Corroding Ghost revealed itself and chose to kill those people instead of us!"
Hearing Xiao Fan's words and looking at the tragic end of the big sect, the people of Ironwood Sect were speechless. They were silent.
At this moment, all the young geniuses of the Ironwood Sect were flushed red and swollen. Every one of them lowered their heads, feeling ashamed and unable to show their faces.
They were the ones who had eyes but failed to see!
Among them, Tie Chen's expression was the most unsightly because he had spoken with confidence and assurance just now. He had criticized Xiao Fan as if he was nothing, which was the most eye-catching.
Now, the situation had reversed. His words from before were like countless slaps that fiercely struck back at him, heavily slapping his extremely handsome face, causing him to be unable to say anything. He could only fidget restlessly and unbearably as if his body was being nibbled by tens of thousands of ants.
