Chapter 861 - The Two World Peak (1/2)

While the entire Beihan Region was in shock, Chen Fan was sitting in the middle of the Arctic Hall at the Sky-Swallowing Palace.

Chen Fan was sitting lazily on the emperor’s chair, which was made of gold and copper; it had nine pythons twining around it. Xiao Mang was next to him, feeding Chen Fan some grapes.

Many dead bodies of the royal family members had been removed from the Arctic Hall by the servants.

Many leaders of the Grotto-heavens and the strong families were standing respectfully in the hall, but a lot of them had disappeared.

The leader of the Chu family, Chu Yuanding, said as he knelt on his knees, “Perfected Cultivator, the entire Zhao family has been razed to the ground. Only ordinary members who don’t cultivate or some criminals are left. However, the Heavenly Ancestor took Prince Zhao Duming before he left and we couldn’t stop him.”

He had surrendered quickly enough during the battle, and Chen Fan also needed someone to help him get familiar with the situation in the royal city to control the Royal Palace, which was why he didn’t kill him.

The members of a few other families looked at Chu Yuanding with an envious face.

“It’s all right. He’s just a Golden Core Cultivator. The Heavenly Ancestor is quite clever. He took someone with the greatest potential as he knew they’d lost their power.”

Chen Fan nodded.

Among Lord Beihan’s sons, only Prince Zhao Duluo, Prince Zhao Duming, Prince Zhao Duxuan and Prince Zhao Qingchen had cultivation talent. They were the only ones who could become top Overlords and awaken the true form of the Sky-Swallowing Python in the future.

And yet, Chen Fan had killed three of them, and Heavenly Ancestor could only take Zhao Duming with him. As for the other members of the family, they were like ants in the eyes of the Heavenly Ancestor; they weren’t important, at all.

Chu Yuanding hesitated and said, “Besides, we’ve already broken into the place where Lord Beihan cultivates, but he isn’t there. We only found an old servant of his.”

“Lord Beihan is not here?”

Chen Fan frowned.

He knew something was wrong. That battle had been earth-shattering. Even Sword King had died and the royal city was destroyed. Why didn’t Lord Beihan show up at all? Chen Fan finally understood after he asked the old servant.

The old servant said, “My Lord went missing three centuries ago and has been trapped inside the Two World Peak. We recently received a message from him. He said the Two World Peak is going to open soon and he’s going to return, which is why we organized this a.s.sembly.”

“The Two World Peak? What’s that place?” Xiao Mang wondered.

Many people were startled and a few Sect Masters even looked terrified after hearing the name. When Chen Fan asked them about it, n.o.body answered.

Chen Fan wasn’t in a hurry, so he didn’t probe further.

As expected, someone paid him a visit at night.

“The Sect Master of the Tianji Grotto-heaven! What a surprise!”

Chen Fan smiled and Xiao Mang also looked at that man with her rounded eyes.

“Just call me Xuan Mingzi.” The Sect Master of the Tianji Grotto-heaven waved his hand. “How can I call myself Sect Master in front of a Perfected Cultivator? You’re even powerful enough to be listed on the Longevity Roll.”

Chen Fan said, “You must be here because of the Two World Peak. Just spit it out! I like straightforward people. If you give me enough information and help me catch Lord Beihan, I’ll offer the entire Xuan State to the Tianji Grotto-heaven.”

Xuan Mingzi was immediately short of breath.

The Tianji Grotto-heaven was located in the Xuan State, covering more than half of the available land, but they couldn’t conquer the entire state because of the Royal Palace. With Chen Fan’s promise, they could finally get what they had been hoping for.

“In fact, this is not a secret. It’s easy for you to find out,” Xuan Mingzi smiled and said, “The Two World Peak is a strange world. It’s located on the Zangtian Plateau and is a hundred thousand miles large. It’s extremely dangerous, ordinary Golden Core Cultivators will die once they go inside.”
