Chapter 433: 433 The Terrifying Demonic Qi of the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds
After all, he did not want to expose Master Ding’s secret in front of Fan Wuyan and the others.
Moreover, the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water was diminished with each use, and he wanted to save it for dealing with the Undying Death God and his companions.
In the end, Ji Wudi and the Demon Ape covered their retreat, and everyone fought as they withdrew.
Empowered by the strength of his two Divine Elixirs, Yang Xiaotian blasted away at an unknown number of Death Spirits, and finally, the group broke through the encirclement. Yang Xiaotian steered the flying ship back the way they came. Fortunately, Jian Jiu and the ancient ancestors of the Fan Family did not pursue them, as they seemed to be guarding something.
Looking back, Yang Xiaotian saw an endless sea of Death Spirits surrounding the Fan Family, suddenly emitting a sharp, grating noise that formed a terrifying sound wave, piercing straight into the mind, causing headaches to the point of splitting.
Luckily, the flying ship’s protective ward shielded them, otherwise, it would have been difficult for everyone to retreat safely.
After retreating a good distance, Yang Xiaotian stopped the flying ship on top of an Uninhabited Peak.
Fan Wuyan sat in a corner, his face filled with disappointment and his eyes devoid of spirit.
“Are you sure your family’s heirloom treasure is still intact?” Yang Xiaotian asked pensively.
Fan Wuyan confidently replied, “I am certain! Because only the successor in each generation of my family can inherit the heirloom treasure, no one else can.”
“Moreover, I am spiritually connected to it, and I’m sure it’s still there.”
Then, with a pleading look, Fan Wuyan said, “Xiaotian, if you can help me retrieve my family’s heirloom treasure, I will be forever grateful.” He clenched his teeth and added, “I know you are looking for Divine Flame, Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, and Divine Grade elixirs. Our Fan Family possesses both the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water and Divine Grade elixirs.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was pleasantly surprised; the Fan Family actually had Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water and Divine Grade elixirs.
“I heard that the Undying Death God has already taken away your family’s treasury,” Yang Xiaotian said.
Fan Wuyan shook his head, “The Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water and the Divine Grade elixirs are not in the Fan Family Treasury.” He continued, “If you help me retrieve my family’s heirloom treasure, I will tell you the whereabouts of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water and that Divine Grade elixir.”
“However, we don’t have much Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, only about three doses.”
“That Divine Grade elixir was refined by the Ancient Thousand Buddhas Medicine God.”
Yang Xiaotian agreed on the spot: “Fine, I will help you retrieve your family’s heirloom treasure.”
Ji Wudi saw that Yang Xiaotian was about to enter the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds and frowned, “Xiaotian, this is too dangerous.”
Yang Xiaotian reassured him, “Don’t worry, Lord Wudi, I have a way to enter the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds.” He then inquired about the detailed location of the heirloom treasure from Fan Wuyan.
Afterward, Yang Xiaotian employed his Life-Bound Soul Skill of Space Concealment and had Master Ding shield his aura before tearing through the sky and departing.
Ji Wudi was astonished to find that he couldn’t sense Yang Xiaotian’s presence, wondering if Yang Xiaotian possessed a true Divine-Level artifact capable of concealing his aura; otherwise, it would be impossible for even him not to detect it.
Fan Wuyan, Fan Cheng, and the others apparently came to the same conclusion as Ji Wudi, thinking that Yang Xiaotian had a Divine-Level artifact capable of concealing his presence.
The once-hopeless Fan Wuyan couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope.
As Yang Xiaotian’s strength increased, his Life-Bound Soul Skill of Space Concealment grew stronger, merging with the space around him during flight, causing no disturbance to the space at all.
With Master Ding concealing his aura, he effortlessly passed through the legions of Death Spirits and returned to the plaza in front of the Fan Family.
Seeing dozens of Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirits guarding the area, Yang Xiaotian was a bit nervous, but with Master Ding’s protection, he passed by them without incident and entered the Fan Family grounds.
Inside, there were fewer Death Spirits.
On occasion, he encountered a Death Spirit who was once an ancient ancestor tasked with protecting the Fan Family, but now, they had all been turned into Death Spirits.
Looking at these ancient ancestors, who once defended the Fan Family but now served the Undying Death God, Yang Xiaotian felt a profound sense of melancholy.
The Fan Family territory was vast, with countless buildings.
But palace after palace was destroyed.
Some of these palaces, even those left from ancient times with the Fan Family’s ancient powerhouses’ seals imprinted on them, were now also blasted to ruins by the Undying Death God.
The ground, everywhere, was pitted with terrifying deep pits.
For an ancient family with a heritage from antiquity like the Fan Family, the ground had been tempered through a thousand trials, hardly destructible even by Divine Spirits, but now, under the power of the Undying Death God, it had been bombarded beyond recognition.
Although he had not witnessed the fierce battle between the great powers of the Fan family and the Undying Death God, Corpse Demons, the sight was enough to imagine how extremely brutal and earth-shattering the fight had been.
Finally, he arrived deep within the Fan Family grounds.
Yang Xiaotian saw Jian Jiu again.
Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses, once corrupted by the Undying Death Qi, retained their intelligence even if they turned into Death Spirits, so seeing Jian Jiu guarding the way, Yang Xiaotian was extremely cautious.
In the end, Yang Xiaotian safely bypassed Jian Jiu and flew towards the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds.
Upon reaching the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds, Yang Xiaotian became even more cautious.
He saw in the Forbidden Grounds of the Fan Family, two figures standing tall.
Each of these two figures was far more terrifying than Jian Jiu.
Yang Xiaotian looked at the two figures with surprise and apprehension. One of them was undoubtedly the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God who had dominated an era with his sword a hundred thousand years ago.
But who was the other person?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The other person’s aura was not only no weaker than the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God’s but even stronger.
Apart from the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God, the Fan Family actually had such a powerful Ancient Ancestor!
And this person had also died in battle!
Having seen the Undying Death God blasted away twice by Master Ding, Yang Xiaotian had somewhat underestimated the Undying Death God, but now, he truly realized the horror of the Undying Death God.
An ancient family as powerful as the Fan Family had been annihilated by the Undying Death God.
The Fan Family had nearly two hundred Divine Spirits, and even with invincible swordsmen like the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God, and the ancient powerhouses’ seals, they could not stop the Undying Death God.
This showed the strength of the Undying Death God.
However, Yang Xiaotian was puzzled as to why the Undying Death God would have people like the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God and Jian Jiu still guarding the Fan Family.
It seemed as if the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God was waiting for something within the Forbidden Grounds to emerge.
What exactly was it that required the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God and Jian Jiu to stand guard?
Though puzzled, Yang Xiaotian did not forget his main task, so he bypassed the two guardians of the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God and arrived at a certain spot within the Forbidden Grounds, where he found the inheritance treasure spoken of by Fan Wuyan.
The Fan Family’s inheritance treasure was placed within a treasure box.
Yang Xiaotian did not hesitate; he immediately took the treasure box, then bypassed the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God and returned the way he came.
However, not long after Yang Xiaotian left the Fan Family, suddenly, heaven and earth trembled, and a terrifying surge of Demonic Qi rose from the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds. The horrific Demonic Qi spread at an alarming rate, sweeping over and covering more and more territory, forming ink-colored Demonic Clouds that enveloped large swathes of the land.
Yang Xiaotian was shocked.
How could such terrifying Demonic Qi emanate from the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds?
Could it be related to what the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God and the others were guarding?
Yang Xiaotian immediately turned back to investigate.
