Chapter 816 - The Golden Crow (1/2)

“What’s wrong with Chinese people?” Chen Fan asked.

Their gazes made him feel uncomfortable, like people in the city staring at someone from the suburbs or white people looking at Africans! No, it was more than that! It was like the ancient n.o.bles glaring at their slaves.

“Nothing, nothing.”

Everyone was startled. They suddenly thought that even though this man was Chinese, he was also a Connate Cultivator and a Connate Cultivator was superior in any city.

But Yun Yier and the others gazed at Chen Fan with pity. They pitied him for being Chinese.

Chen Fan then noticed.

The appearance of this group of people was a bit different from his. It seemed to be due to the local climate. Most of them had light blue eyes and they had a high-bridged nose. The shape of their faces was also different from that of Chinese people. However, this wasn’t the reason why they looked down on Chen Fan.

“Don’t worry, Senior. You’re already a peerless talent able to reach the Connate Level as a Chinese. Besides, you’re such a young man; there’s still a chance for you to join the large sects,” Mu Hongti said.

But she was apparently worried about Chen Fan’s future.

When Chen Fan was about to ask something else, rays of light appeared in the sky.

“It’s someone from the family!” Yun Yier jumped and exclaimed.

The backups from the cultivation families of Zhuyan City were grand. A few flying s.h.i.+ps sailed across the sky and their leader was a Connate Cultivator. There were many warriors in azure armors, Immortal Cultivators, Ethereal Enlightenment and Divine Sea Warriors on the s.h.i.+ps.

“Thank you for saving our Master. We’ll definitely offer you something to express our grat.i.tude. Our Lord has organized a banquet for you,” the white-haired elder said.

The elders of the other families also moved forward and greeted Chen Fan. They were astonished since he had been able to reach the Connate Level at such a young age, so they were extremely respectful and friendly.

Zhang Lingfeng suddenly said, “Sect-servant Sang, Senior Chen… is Chinese.”

Chinese?

The elders were startled and started sizing up Chen Fan. Indeed, he had black hair and black eyes which was different from everyone else.

He was really Chinese?

Not only the elders, many other Divine Sea and Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivators were also stunned. They stared at Chen Fan, feeling amazement.

“Ah, a friend from China… What a surprise!”

Sect-servant Sang laughed soullessly.

The elder apparently became indifferent all of a sudden. He invited Chen Fan to get on the flying s.h.i.+p without sincerity and was obviously just trying to be polite.

“Captain, Sect-servant Sang used to be thrilled when he saw Connate Cultivators in the past. Why is he so cold right now? Senior Chen seems to be a talent. He should be someone around our age, right?” Someone on the flying s.h.i.+p wondered.

The captain looked at Chen Fan in pity and mumbled, “You fool! Can’t you see he’s Chinese?”

“What a shame. He could have had a promising future. He might have been able to conquer a city or even become a Golden Core Cultivator, but… he’s Chinese!”

Chen Fan witnessed all this.

He didn’t seem to mind it, but there were more and more doubts in his mind.

The elders of a few other families invited Chen Fan to get on their flying s.h.i.+ps, but Chen Fan rejected their offers. Those elders were only being polite. They left immediately after giving Chen Fan their address.

Mu Hongti, who was the last one to leave, also felt sorry for him.

“Senior Chen, I didn’t know our family would react like this, but don’t worry. We’ll never forget what you did for us. Feel free to look for the Mu family if you need anything.”

“Hm.”

Chen Fan nodded.

As for Zhang Lingfeng, he didn’t even look back.

When the flying s.h.i.+ps left, Chen Fan pondered for a while. He had a picture of the situation in the Beihan Region. What interested him most at the moment was to know what had happened to the ancient Chinese cultivators that made those people act so indifferent after knowing he was Chinese.

“There was a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord and many Golden Core and Connate Cultivators among the Chinese cultivators back then. Heaven’s Equal should have been able to become a top figure even on Planet Tianhuang. What exactly happened?” Chen Fan wondered.

He pondered for a while, then turned into a ray of golden light and went to Zhuyan City.

With an address, Chen Fan could travel a thousand miles in a blink. A magnificent old city appeared ahead of him soon. The walls around the city were a hundred feet tall, which were covered in black iron. There were many talisman inscriptions carved on them and they were s.h.i.+ning even during the day.

The soldiers stationed on the walls were wearing heavy armor. Even though they hadn’t started working on Immortal Cultivation, they were all hunky and powerful. The moat around the city was a hundred miles long and there were millions of people living inside. An invisible array enveloped the moat, so n.o.body could fly inside.

“Swis.h.!.+”

Chen Fan turned back to a mortal and entered the city.

The array of the city had been formed by a Golden Core Cultivator, but Chen Fan could break it easily. However, he didn’t want to be so high-profile as he had just arrived.

Zhuyan City was bustling.
