When the Yunleng Type-I airship flew back to Dai Xing City, the sky was not yet dark.
The red sunset hung in the sky, quietly illuminating everything on the ground.
The transparent shield above Dai Xing City glowed with a faint golden light. In the afterglow of the setting sun, it was covered with a layer of red, giving it a unique flavor.
The airship passed through the shield and hovered above the roof of the Dai Xing Guest House. The cabin door opened, and Sha Qingsi's voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the microphones in the cabins.
"I've just received notice that the entire city is preparing for war tonight. Students, please rest in the guest house for the night. After the alert is lifted tomorrow, gather at the House of Guardians."
"Now, students from all schools, please disembark in an orderly manner. Keep quiet!"
As soon as Sha Qingsi's voice fell, the cabins were thrown into chaos.
What had happened?
Why did the entire city have to prepare for war?
Could it be that the Beast Kings from the outer realms were stirring up trouble again?
Among the many students, some were curious, some were nervous, and some were excited. However, under the arrangement of the Supervisors on the airship, the noise of chaos was quickly suppressed. The martial arts students began to jump off the airship from the nearest cabin door in an orderly manner.
The six students from South China Martial Arts School, except for Yang Fan, followed the crowd and disembarked from the airship under the guidance of the inspectors.
"Student Yang Fan, Head Emissary Sha invites you. Please follow me!"
Fang Ze walked up to Yang Fan with a smile on his face and extended his hand to invite Yang Fan in a friendly manner.
Yang Fan cupped his hands. "Thank you for your trouble!"
Then, the two of them came to the control center of the Yunleng Type-I airship. Sha Qingsi and Su Li were sitting in the control center, observing the basic movements of the students below through the monitor.
Seeing Yang Fan come in, Sha Qingsi stood up and waved at Yang Fan affectionately. At the same time, she sent Fang Ze and Su Li away.
"Master, I didn't disturb you by asking you to come over, did I?"
After Fang Ze and Su Li left, there was no one else in the control room. Sha Qingsi casually set up a King's Will Barrier to isolate all spying and eavesdropping. She then respectfully bowed to Yang Fan and greeted him softly.
Yang Fan shook his head slightly and looked at Sha Qingsi. "Tell me, why did you call me here? Could it be related to the city's preparation for war that you mentioned just now? "
Yang Fan also had some doubts in his heart. With Sha Qingsi's current cultivation level, why couldn't she just send a telepathic message directly? Why did she have to make it so serious?
"Master is wise. That is indeed the case!"
Sha Qingsi smiled bitterly and said, "I just received the notice. It was Elder Qu who sent the message. He wants me to guard Dai Xing City tonight. At the same time, he wants me to keep you by my side to ensure your safety."
"Oh?" Yang Fan raised his brows and was slightly flattered. He hadn't expected Qu Hongde to take such care of him. "Can you tell me what happened? Will Dai Xing City be in great danger tonight?"
"Well …" Sha Qingsi hesitated for a moment and replied softly, "It isn't to the extent of being dangerous. It's just a precaution. After all, Lord Fu and Elder Qu aren't here. If the Beast Kings take advantage of this opportunity to invade, the consequences would be unimaginable. "
Yang Fan was stunned. There was too much information in Sha Qingsi's words.
Fu Zhengqing and Qu Hongde weren't in Dai Xing City, so where were they?
With their King Realm cultivation, they should be able to instantly rush back if anything happened in Dai Xing City as long as they didn't leave the northwest territory, right?
However, based on Sha Qingsi's words, it seemed like even if the Beast Kings invaded, they might not have the chance to return. Was it because they were too far away and couldn't rush back in time, or were they hindered by something or someone?
"Of course, this has nothing to do with you, Master. So, I didn't have to specially keep you by my side."
As she spoke, Sha Qingsi pointed at the surveillance screen in front of her and said softly to Yang Fan, "Master, do you see those people in front of the guest house? Don't you find them very familiar?"
Yang Fan glanced over and instantly recognized the identities of the three figures below.
Wang Zhihe, Zhao Lin, and their only son, Wang Yuansheng.
He hadn't expected this family of three to be so persistent. They'd actually come here so early to wait.
Were they afraid he'd run away in advance or something?
"The Patriarch of the Wang Clan of Taikang, Wang Zhihe," Yang Fan said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, they've probably come to seek treatment from me."
"I've already made an appointment with them. After the tournament ends, I'll visit them and treat their injuries." Yang Fan raised his head to look at Sha Qingsi and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the three of them?"
Sha Qingsi revealed an 'as expected' expression. Then, she glanced at Wang Zhihe and his wife and said, "There's nothing wrong with the three of them. In fact, this Wang Zhihe is very good at dealing with people. After he became the Patriarch of the Wang Clan, his relationship with the Guardian's Mansion has been quite harmonious."
"Originally, my impression of him was quite good."
Sha Qingsi recalled the scene of Wang Zhihe being severely injured by the two Beast Kings, Golden Brow Ancestor and Green Long-Armed Ape, when he was defending the city against the Demonic Beasts last night.
She sighed and said, "It's a pity that he's associated with an unreliable Ancestor. Now, he's being dragged into this mess."
Yang Fan was startled, "Is it because of the Wang Clan's Ancestor who's suspected to be a King Realm expert?"
Yang Fan understood when he saw Sha Qingsi nodding her head.
Yesterday, Dai Xing City and the entire Northwest Guardian's Mansion were in danger. Fu Zhengqing, a King Realm expert on the surface, was threatened by four giant Beast Kings who were as strong as him. However, the Wang Clan's Ancestor didn't come to rescue them.
Because of this, the Wang Clan's Ancestor had violated a taboo and angered everyone.
However, this didn't seem to have much to do with Wang Zhihe. They were in the Federation now, which was barely considered a civilized society that was reasonable and legal. There was no need for joint responsibility.
The Wang Clan's Ancestor didn't care about what he did, but it didn't mean that his descendants couldn't be trusted.
Moreover, Yang Fan had worked hard to raise Wang Zhihe's favorability to an extremely friendly level. They probably wouldn't have any ill intentions towards him.
"Wait!" Yang Fan's body suddenly trembled. He couldn't help but raise his head and ask Sha Qingsi, "You just said that Lord Fu Zhengqing and Lord Qu Zhengqing aren't in Dai Xing City. Did they go to Taikang City? They went to kill the Wang Clan's Ancestor to get rid of future troubles? "
"Master is wise!"
This was the second time today that Sha Qingsi praised Yang Fan's wisdom. Yang Fan was delighted to hear this. He liked to hear this old disciple speak the truth without thinking.
"However," Sha Qingsi changed the topic and said, "It's unlikely to kill the Wang Clan's Ancestor. After all, he's a King-stage expert. It's too risky to kill him rashly. Moreover, the Federation government won't sit idly by."
"More importantly, if the commotion is too big, it'll most likely attract the attention of the Four Major Beast Kings from the extraterritorial region. If they take the opportunity to cause more trouble, the entire Northwest Guardian Residence will definitely be in a mess."
"Therefore, Lord Fu Zhengqing and Lord Qu Zhengqing went to Taikang City to drive out the Wang Clan of Taikang City. The Northwest region can no longer accommodate the Wang Clan's Ancestor."
Yang Fan nodded. He wasn't surprised by Fu Zhengqing's actions at all. If it were him, he would be the first to get rid of this unstable factor.
"However, what does this have to do with me treating Wang Zhihe's injuries?" Yang Fan was puzzled. "Wang Zhihe's cultivation is only at the Half-step King Realm. Even if his injuries are completely healed, he's definitely not a match for Fu Zhengqing and Qu Zhengqing. There's no need to be so vigilant, right?"
Sha Qingsi glanced at Yang Fan speechlessly.
Why are Lord Fu Zhengqing and Lord Qu Zhengqing so nervous? Don't you have any idea what's going on?
"Master." Sha Qingsi reminded him softly, "You seem to have forgotten that your medical skills are outstanding. Your treatment of all kinds of injuries is also extraordinarily effective."
"After you treated Lord Qu's injuries, Lord Qu successfully advanced to the King Realm. You also treated my injuries. After that, I also seemed to have smoothly advanced to the King Realm. "
"Although all of this might just be a very simple coincidence, no one can guarantee that the same coincidence won't happen to Wang Zhihe, right?"
Sha Qingsi said with a slight headache, "Lord Qu said that if you treat Wang Zhihe to the King Realm, then the Wang Clan of Taikang will have two King Realm experts at once. If Lord Fu Zhengqing and Lord Qu Zhengqing want to deal with them and expel them from the clan, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."
Yang Fan also felt a slight headache when he heard this.
His Intermediate Healing Technique actually had the miraculous effect of helping people advance. Why didn't he know about it before?
It was complete nonsense!
If the Intermediate Healing Technique was really so awesome, then why did he spend so much effort to take Tian Feiyao and Sha Qingsi as his disciples and teach them martial skills and cultivation techniques? He could have just used the Intermediate Healing Technique on them and let them advance easily.
"It's all groundless rumors. Why did Lord Qu take it seriously?"
Yang Fan said speechlessly, "Although I'm indeed very awesome, this Healing Technique really doesn't have the effect of helping people advance in strength. Everything before was just a coincidence. It's not to be believed."
While they were talking, the surveillance screen downstairs shook. In the sky above Wang Zhihe's family of three, a giant palm that was more than ten meters long suddenly appeared. With lightning speed, it quickly grabbed the three of them in the palm, and then directly tore through the space barrier and broke through the sky.
"You observed the Sixth Grade Martial King Wang Hongfang using the Spatial Divine Ability to travel between two places. You felt something in your heart, but because your cultivation was insufficient, you were unable to comprehend it."
Yang Fan felt a burst of annoyance in his heart. If he couldn't comprehend it, then why did he remind him so clearly every time? Was he deliberately teasing him?
Sixth Grade Martial King Wang Hongfang, could he be the King Realm Ancestor of the Wang Clan of Taikang City?
Looking at his posture when he attacked just now, this Wang Clan Ancestor seemed to be a bit awesome!
Just as Yang Fan was sighing and feeling vexed in the airship, a skinny, dark, and huge palm suddenly appeared behind Yang Fan.
"Thief, you dare!"
Sha Qingsi's expression changed greatly. She roared loudly and raised her arm, wanting to block the huge palm.
As a result, the speed of the huge palm suddenly increased. "Whoosh!" It wrapped Yang Fan's entire body in its palm, and then it went back into the space barrier, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
