One.
Fifteen minutes later!
The Lion's Roar Saintess finally finished narrating the events of the past few days. At this time, Xiao Fan finally understood the situation at the Great Western Prefecture.
Xiao Fan slightly nodded at the Lion's Roar Saintess. There was no change in his expression, but his dark eyes seemed to become even darker.
"It's all because I'm useless!" The saintess opened her mouth again. Sparkling tears continued to drip down as she sobbed: "In order to send me and Ling Yan away, Jiu Ye and the others sacrificed themselves to get us out of the Heavenly Wolf Legion's encirclement!
"Then yesterday, it was Ling Yan who brought me to hide in the Dragon-Devouring City. It was with great difficulty that we managed to avoid being hunted by many parties. After hearing about your whereabouts, the two of us rushed to the Dazzling Sun Manor. It was Ling Yan who sacrificed herself to send me in safely!"
"If I was of some use and could have helped, then Jiu Ye and Ling Yan wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"You have done very well, there is no need to blame yourself!" Xiao Fan gently sighed and then gently shook his head at the saintess.
Facing Xiao Fan's words, the saintess didn't say anything else. She only lowered her head and continued to sob; her heart was still filled with sorrow.
To the side, Akira Yuki, Xing Qing, and Lime were also moved by the saintess' experience. However, Akira Yuki only slightly raised her eyebrows before returning to normal.
Xing Qing, on the other hand, gently sighed. She somewhat admired the friendship between the saintess and the others. At the same time, she thought about how she didn't even have a single friend. A complicated and inexplicable feeling arose in her heart.
Lime, on the other hand, was the most affected. He quickly stepped forward and softly spoke, using a feminine way to comfort the saintess.
"In order to save that woman called Zhao Lingyan, the Magnetism Spirit Fruit and many other medicinal ingredients that you spent half a day collecting are all gone. What do you plan to do next?" Xing Qing opened her mouth and looked at Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by an old voice from outside the door. Akira Yuki, Xingqing, Lime, and the sobbing Lion's Roar Saintess all turned their heads to look.
"I am Ouyang Zi, an old man from the Ouyang family in the Dragon Devouring City. I am here to pay a visit to Young Master Xiao. Please open the door!" An old man dressed in luxurious brocade robes stood outside the door with his hands clasped behind his back and a smile on his face. His voice traveled far and wide. Not only could Xiao Fan in the courtyard hear him, but the entire Glorious Sun Manor and even those outside the manor could hear him.
"There are a total of seven families that control the Dragon Devouring City, and the Ouyang family is one of them!" Lime was knowledgeable and knew many things about the Dragon Devouring City. He immediately opened his mouth and whispered to Xiao Fan, "At the same time, the Ouyang family is the leader of the seven families. To put it bluntly, the other six families are only vassals of the Ouyang family. They follow the Ouyang family's lead in everything!"
Xiao Fan nodded to express his understanding towards Lime's words.
Lime pondered for a moment before adding, "As for Ouyang Zi, I don't know his exact status and identity in the Ouyang family. However, I am certain that he is definitely not an ordinary member of the Ouyang family. This is because during the Ouyang family's grand event two years ago, many big shots of the family were present. Ouyang Zi was among the upper echelons of the Ouyang family at that time!"
"Please come in!" Xiao Fan said at this time. He raised his hand and calmly opened the door to the courtyard to let Ouyang Zi in.
"Young Master Xiao!" Ouyang Zi didn't bring anyone with him. After entering the courtyard, he stood in front of Xiao Fan's group and spoke to Xiao Fan with a faint smile.
"What is it?" Xiao Fan's dark eyes looked at Ouyang Zi as he spoke calmly.
From the Lion's Roar Saintess' narration, Xiao Fan knew that not long after she and Zhao Lingyan escaped from the Heavenly Wolf Battalion's encirclement, the Ouyang family led people to search for them in the Dragon Devouring City.
To put it simply, Ouyang Zi's visit this time was definitely not out of goodwill.
Ouyang Zi didn't immediately answer Xiao Fan's question. He only smiled and praised Xiao Fan, "Young Master Xiao is so young, yet you have the Soul Mending Heavenly Pill and a peerless divine weapon. Since your debut, your battle record is so brilliant that almost no one can compare to you. You are indeed worthy of being one of the most outstanding and dazzling heaven's prides in the younger generation of our Spirit Realm. You can stand shoulder to shoulder with Jian Wuchen, the Son of the Northern Heavens, and the Titanic Crescent Spirit Maiden!"
"If you have something to say, then say it. If not, then scram!" Xiao Fan calmly spoke to Ouyang Zi without any ripples.
"Very well, I won't say anything else!" Ouyang Zi's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold glint after hearing Xiao Fan's blunt words. However, it quickly returned to normal and his old face was full of smiles as he continued to speak to Xiao Fan: "This old man is here for no other reason than to give Young Master Xiao something!"
"What is it?" Xiao Fan calmly asked.
"This is a letter of challenge. Young Master Xiao, please take a look!" Ouyang Zi laughed heartily. He then raised his hand, and a letter of challenge made of black iron and shining with a cold light tore through the air. It whistled through the air as it turned into a streak of black light and shot towards Xiao Fan.
However, Xiao Fan simply raised his hand casually and caught the Black Iron Challenge Letter that could shatter a mountain!
"Tomorrow at noon, Deacon Zuo Leng of the Ironwood Sect, Thirteenth Elder of the Ironwood Sect, Elder Mu Yang of the Eternal River Sect, Sect Master Zhao Zhiping of the Eternal River Sect, Holy Son of the Purple Cloud Hall, Hall Master of the Purple Cloud Hall, Noble Prince of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Patriarch of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Holy Son of the Nine Leaf Holy Ground, Holy Lord of the Nine Leaf Holy Ground, Patriarch of the Lion's Roar Gate, and all members of the Lion's Roar Gate will be publicly executed on Mount Dragon Devourer!" Xiao Fan had just received the Black Iron Letter of Challenge. Before he could even open it and read the contents, Ouyang Zi had already told him the contents of the letter with a big laugh.
Hearing Ouyang Zi's words, Xiao Fan's hand that was flipping open the Black Iron Letter of Challenge paused for a moment. His gloomy eyes suddenly opened and they were like two black holes that could destroy everything, emitting an endless devouring light.
"This letter of challenge is jointly issued by Thousand Spirit Mountain, Fire Worship Sect, Myriad Beast Hall, Canglan Clan, Firecloud Sect, Jade Void Sect, and a total of 588 great sects. Young Master Xiao, please take a look!" At this moment, Ouyang Zi's voice was extremely loud and thunderous, echoing across the entire Illuminating Sun Manor.
As soon as he finished speaking, his voice spread in all directions. Not only did everyone in the central city hear it, but countless people in the entire Dragon-Devouring City also vaguely heard his words.
Ouyang Zi's voice reverberated in the sky above the Devouring Dragon City for a long time. Everyone who heard it was completely stunned. Only a small number of people who had already heard about it were able to maintain their composure, but they still couldn't hide the shock on their faces.
Spirit Realm had a total of eighteen prefectures. Each prefecture had a different size and number of great sects. The smallest was like the Great Western Prefecture, which only had twenty to thirty great sects. The largest was like the Devouring Dragon Prefecture, which had three hundred great sects.
According to the statistics of Spirit Realm, the number of great sects in Spirit Realm, including Heavenly Sword Mountain, Northern Heavens Sacred Ground, and Titanic Crescent Sacred Ground, was close to a thousand.
Right now, more than half of the great sects in Spirit Realm had issued a Black Iron Letter of Challenge to Xiao Fan. This shocking battle between two sides was extremely 'asymmetrical'. Once it was issued, countless people's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Heavens, 588 great sects have joined forces to set up a killing trap just to target Xiao Fan?" In the Devouring Dragon City, someone immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and said with a horrified expression.
"Five hundred and eighty-eight great sects working together. What kind of terrifying power is this?" Someone's entire body trembled. He was deeply shocked by this power.
"Who can survive in front of this power? I'm afraid even Heavenly Sword Mountain, Northern Heavens Sacred Ground, and Titanic Crescent Sacred Ground wouldn't dare to fight against them, right? "
"No, you're underestimating Heavenly Sword Mountain, Northern Heavens Sacred Ground, and Titanic Crescent Sacred Ground too much!" Someone shook his head and said with a solemn expression, "Heavenly Sword Mountain, Northern Heavens Sacred Ground, and Titanic Crescent Sacred Ground all have existences that have surpassed the fourth level of Empyrean Realm. It's as easy as flipping their hands for them to kill a fourth level Empyrean Realm cultivator!"
"To put it bluntly, whether it's Heavenly Sword Mountain, Northern Heavens Sacred Ground, or Titanic Crescent Sacred Ground, all of them have the terrifying power to annihilate all the other great sects in Spirit Realm except for them!"
"Although the combined strength of these 588 great sects is shocking and beyond imagination, in front of them, it can only be described as so!"
"Let's not talk about Heavenly Sword Mountain!" Someone immediately changed the topic and said with a strange expression, "How can this Xiao Fan survive the combined attack of such a terrifying force?"
"There's no need to even think about it, he's dead for sure!" Someone said with a resolute and decisive tone.
"He won't die immediately. At the very least, the true pill formula and refining method of the Soul Mending Heavenly Pill will be obtained by all the great sects. He'll only truly die after all of his valuables have been dug out!" Someone shrugged and said.
"Isn't that worse than death?" Someone said with a sigh with pity.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who asked this Xiao Fan to be so arrogant? He offended so many great sects in one go, so he deserves to end up like this! "Someone took pleasure in Xiao Fan's misfortune and ridiculed.
.....
Discussions broke out all over the Dragon Devouring City, causing the originally quiet night sky to be bustling with noise and excitement. Many people could no longer fall asleep as it was extremely lively.
