Chapter 939 - Who in the World Didn“t Know Him? (2/2)
“Is he really that terrifying?” A pang of suspicion rose in Gongsun Lan’s mind.
Meanwhile, Luo Qianyan stared at the direction where the carriage was headed in confusion.
“That’s where the Wu Family is. Is Chen Fan going to make a move against the Wu Family?”
The thought filled Luo Qianyan’s heart with fear.
Meanwhile, inside the black carriage…
Chen Fan was wearing an azure outfit while he sat cross legged on a bench. He looked nothing like a cultivator. A blade crescent blade lay over his lap.
The blade jittered from time to time, trying to break free from Chen Fan’s hold. Each time that happened, Chen Fan would tap it gently, pacifying it with a pulse of azure energy.
“Senior Chen Fan, are we heading to the Wu Family?” Mu Hongti asked with hesitation.
Lin Wuhua also furrowed her brow.
They had mixed feelings about the Wu Family. It’s true that some individuals in the Wu Family tried to betray Chen Fan, and Wu Baisu had also refused to help Chen Fan during a critical moment, but Wu Qinyan had treated the girls very well.
“I have no quarrels with the Wu Family, I just want to say goodbye and return a small favor.”
Chen Fan shook his head.
The Heavenly Blade of Obliteration vibrated violently as Chen Fan spoke, attracting the three girls’ attention. Although they had not seen Chen Fan’s battle at the Zilan State, they had heard a lot about it.
They heard that Chen Fan had completely uprooted the Feng Family, slaughtering every single member of the clan. After that, he took the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration from the city ruins.
The Hu family, the Nin Family and the Taiyi Sect had asked Chen Fan to return the Heavenly Blade.
However, after Chen Fan killed a couple of their messengers, everyone accepted reality and stopped protesting. By then, Chen Fan was the most dominating presence in the Beihuang Region.
“So, you’re going to talk to Sister Qinyan?” Yun Yier asked.
Even as Lin Wuhua and Mu Hongti were trying to pry out some information from Chen Fan, a wizened voice drifted to them from the distance.
“Wu Wendin of the Wu Family welcomes Elixir Monarch Chen!”
The Wu Family had not taken Chen Fan seriously the last time he went to visit them. However, they had gone all out this time. Ancestral Patriarch Wu Wendin had led the entire leaders.h.i.+p of the family to welcome Chen Fan a few thousand miles away from their home. The welcoming procession was escorted by the seven Zhenhai Legions of the Wu Family.
Over a hundred thousand cultivators and hundreds of Golden Core Cultivators filled up the sky. Banners of all colors flapped against the wind. They all bowed to Chen Fan with a great measure of deference.
The girls in the carriage were taken aback by the sight.
They were in awe of the reactions produced by Chen Fan’s unmatched prestige.
The Heavenly Lord Family had gone all the way to the middle of nowhere to welcome Chen Fan. Wu Wendin was the Ancestral Patriarch of the Wu family, but his voice was filled with respect. Luo Qianyan and Gongsun Lan had followed Chen Fan to that place; they were left aghast by the sight when they arrived.
“Not even my senior brother could make the Family Leader of a Heavenly Lord Family lower his head.”
Gongsun Lan’s arrogance had slowly been replaced by fear.
A faint voice drifted out from the carriage, “No need for the formality, much less the extravaganza. I’m here to see Qinyan.”
“Qinyan?”
The Wu Family members were taken aback.
Ever since Chen Fan toppled the Feng Family, he had risen to power in the Beihuang Region. Countless factions watched his every move with close attention. Therefore, the Wu Family had already known for a while that Chen Fan was on his way to see them; they had been overtaken by fear because of this.
Wu Xiao and many others thought Chen Fan had returned for revenge.
Even Wu Baisu was worried that Chen Fan would force the Wu Family into servitude. Wu Wendin had wished to befriend Chen Fan, but Chen Fan was no longer the aspiring cultivator. Instead, Chen Fan had grown, becoming a terrifying force and a Heavenly Lord’s equal. A visit by such a powerful man would scare anyone.
Despite the reverence Wu Wendin had plastered on his face, the Dark Cauldron of Aetherial Water let out faint waves of energy in his hand, ready to strike out. That was the Wu Family’s Heavenly Treasure; it was just as powerful as the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Chen Fan was there to see Wu Qinyan.
“I am here, my lord.”
Wu Wendin waved a hand and ordered Wu Qinyan to step out.
A voice drifted to her mind.
“I’m here to say goodbye.
“I owe you one for telling me Situ Cheng’s secrets. To pay you back, I will pa.s.s this Alchemy Manual of Clear Jade to you. If you follow the instructions, you will become a Heavenly Alchemist in no time.
“One last thing: look after Qiao Qiao for me.”
When the voice faded in Wu Qinyan’s mind, she saw the black carriage was already on its way. The only thing that made her believe that voice was real was the new memories of the Alchemy Manual.
“What a weirdo,” Wu Baisu mumbled.
Tianhuang Calendar, July 3rd, 129563.
Chen Fan spent three months in the Beihuang Region and was transformed from a no account alchemist to a household name!
