Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 461: Chapter 233: Jiang Wansui’s Move! Chu Chaoran’s Statement (Farewell 2024)

On the street, all the pedestrians stopped in their tracks, looking at the sun ”hiding” in the sky.

Yujing City seemed to have entered into night prematurely.

However, it lasted less than a minute, and the sun slowly revealed itself.

The clouds dispersed, and golden sunlight once again spread over every corner of Yujing City.

Looking up, the sky was clear, and everything returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

”What happened to my phone just now? The camera wouldn’t open.”

”I didn’t capture any shots either, now I can’t post anything on social media.”

”Why wasn’t the solar eclipse forecasted?”

The flow of people on the street returned to normal, pedestrians hurriedly resumed their life rhythm.

For those whose Primordial Spirit hasn’t awakened, what just happened seemed as if it hadn’t occurred at all.

”What about those three?” Lin Jianyue mumbled, distracted.

”I don’t know,” Zhang Fan replied, his face serious.

Magical Combat at the Celestial Master Level is beyond their comprehension; average people can’t understand it or even see it.

Right now, Zhang Fan’s main concern is not the outcome of this battle.

”You need to leave; get out of Yujing City right now.”

Zhang Fan turned to look at Lin Jianyue.

Initially, he thought the Daoist Alliance Headquarters would dispatch an investigative team to investigate Meng Qinghuan’s death.

But who would’ve thought they’d been watching Jiangnan Province all along and had secretly sent a Celestial Master along?

Indeed, everything went as the Daoist Alliance Headquarters had predicted, Jiangnan Province was deep waters, hiding fish that shun the light.

With today’s commotion, Zhang Fan could only imagine that soon, Yujing City would undergo a thorough investigation and cleansing.

If Lin Jianyue doesn’t leave now, it might be too late.

When the situation unfolds, he’ll become part of it, unable to remain detached.

”Not only should you leave Yujing City, but you must leave Jiangnan Province too,” Zhang Fan realized the gravity of the situation, fearing he might need to hide for a couple of days to avoid trouble.

”Okay,” Lin Jianyue understood the stakes, choosing not to say much.

With Huo Dharma King arriving, it was evident that Jiangnan Province was no longer safe; even the forces of the Wuwei Sect might have to retreat.

”After leaving Jiangnan Province, find a way to contact Zhao Jie Xuan and ask him to reach out to me,” Zhang Fan instructed.

Although he had already entered the Mahasattva Realm, he was still lacking compared to the Lord of the Profound Palace or Huo Dharma King.

Fortunately, he had already deciphered the secrets of the Golden Radiance Treasure Box; as long as he found Zhao Jie Xuan, there was a good chance to merge with the Evil Gods.

At that point, solidifying his Primordial Spirit, achieving unity, Zhang Fan would finally have the resources to stand firm amid the increasingly complex and chaotic situation.

”I understand,”

Lin Jianyue nodded, committing Zhang Fan’s words to memory, wasting no time and immediately took a taxi straight to the airport.

”Jiangnan Province is no longer a place to stay,” Zhang Fan watched Lin Jianyue leave, his mind racing.

”But I imagine leaving won’t be that easy.”

”Perhaps there are other ways.”

Previously, Zhang Lingzong had called him, saying he left a phone for him with a stored number, which could be dialed if he ever found himself at a dead end.

However, now didn’t seem like that pivotal moment.

”Stay calm, stay calm...”

Zhang Fan took a deep breath, suppressing his racing thoughts, and tried to sort through them.

The investigation team from the Divine Power Association is right in Yujing City; even if he can leave now, he shouldn’t. Leaving at this moment would be a blatant sign of guilt.

Meng Qinghuan’s death had nothing to do with him, it couldn’t be blamed on him.

Regarding Hua Yanqiu, they didn’t die at his hands. It was Human Xiao acting in broad daylight.

Even if they reviewed the surveillance, the Primordial Spirit Emergence was sure to impact the signal, so nothing might be captured, perhaps at most, an encounter between him and Lin Jianyue.

The identity disguises of the Thirteen Zodiacs in reality are nearly perfect, so they likely won’t find anything traceable.

Besides, now with Lin Jianyue gone, even if they investigated, it’d take time.

”Overall, I’m safe for now, but there’s no wall in the world that doesn’t let air through; if they want to investigate, they’ll eventually find something.”

”Observe and await, let’s see how things unfold first.”

Zhang Fan analyzed the current situation, taking a deep breath.

Beep beep beep...

Just then, the sound of a car horn drew Zhang Fan’s attention.

”Fang Changle!?”

Zhang Fan’s eyes brightened, seeing Fang Changle’s body lean out of the car.

”Get in,” Fang Changle called out.

”What a coincidence.”

Jiang Hu was sitting in the driver’s seat, turning back to greet Zhang Fan.

”When did you return?” Zhang Fan asked.

”Just now, we intended to head to the Daoist Alliance but met you here by chance.”

As they spoke, Fang Changle’s expression turned serious, his gaze landing on Hua Yanqiu lying in front of the Invisible Mountain Cafe, the latter’s Primordial Spirit was gone, leaving behind only a lifeless body.

”What’s the situation?” Fang Changle asked.

”It’s a long story,” Zhang Fan hesitated briefly before recounting what had just happened.

Overall, there wasn’t much concealed. After all, last time when facing Yin Hu, the opponent had already revealed quite a bit in front of Fang Changle, there’s no point in hiding it.

During that instance, they faced life and death together; Fang Changle was regarded as one of his own.

”This Human Xiao is ruthless, killing in the street, and the targets were members of the Divine Power Association,” Fang Changle said solemnly.

Meng Qinghuan was like this.

Hua Yanqiu was also like this.
