Chapter 477: Chapter 240: Pure Yang Treasure! Sitting and Forgetting the Void (5,000-Word Chapter)

Deep night, Zhang Family’s Old Mansion.

The moon seemed like the eyes of a fox, gazing indifferently at the mortal world.

A cool wind rose during the night, stirring the ancient tree in the yard, leaves fluttering like the chill of a harsh winter.

Rumble...

Suddenly, a terrifying aura burst into the sky, in this thin, cool night it was like a great star breaking through the long sky, dispersing the endless clouds.

The next moment, figures darted out from the main house of the old mansion like startled birds, their eyes fixed unsurely on the interior of the house, on the seated figure.

In the haze, the soaring aura slowly dissipated, like thick ink unfurling, like the Great Night is not bright.

"Big Brother Zong... Fan... has he mastered the Divine Demon Holy Embryo?"

"Impossible... how is this possible... throughout history, never have two people been able to simultaneously refine such a profound skill."

"The heavens change, the person changes like a demon... is this an anomaly?"

"His Divine Demon Holy Embryo seems somewhat different."

A series of bewildered voices rose and fell in the small courtyard, like waves surging wildly, difficult to suppress.

In front of the house, a lean man’s eyes blazed like fire, yet he said nothing, but his gaze towards the interior was laced with worry.

Sigh...

At that moment, under the dim light, a graceful silhouette flickered, appearing beside the seated figure, a jade hand lifting and pressing on the latter’s Celestial Spirit.

"Fan, remember, the greatest demon tribulation in this world is the Human Xiao..."

"In the future, should you encounter such a great tribulation again, only the Human Xiao can save you."

A soft, melodious voice came from inside the house, and then the soaring aura gradually dissipated, the seated figure under the dim light slowly falling into the embrace of the graceful silhouette.

At the doorway, the spirited man breathed a sigh of relief, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket, picking off the filter, a spark ignited in the night.

"Mom..."

On the high-speed train to An Nan City, Zhang Fan suddenly awoke, his low exclamation immediately attracted the eyes of those around him.

"Were you dreaming?"

Fang Changle glanced over.

"Yeah, I dreamed of my mom."

Zhang Fan covered his face, glancing sideways out the window, night obscured his view, distant mountains seemed to flee rapidly in the darkness.

He hadn’t slept in a long time, let alone dreamed.

Whenever Zhang Fan slept, it always meant something had happened, if his heart felt it, there had to be a response.

During the day, he received a message from Su Shiyu, just a simple sentence, the gist being they encountered misfortune in Huizhou Province, and she is now seriously injured, hiding in An Nan City.

Zhang Fan hurriedly booked a ticket for that day’s train and rushed over.

Actually, An Nan City isn’t too far from Yujing City.

In ancient times, Huizhou Province was also part of Jiangnan Province, until the Qing Kangxi Period when they were separated.

Today, although on the internet they say Jiangnan is a fragmented Jiangnan, with each city not acknowledging the provincial capital Yujing, some cities in Huizhou Province are loyal to Yujing, willing to act as its subordinate, among them is An Nan City.

Because of this, travel between the two places is quite convenient, just a nap and they were within the borders of An Nan City.

"I wonder how they’re doing."

Thinking of the call with Su Shiyu earlier, Zhang Fan felt restless.

Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu had been with him for some time and were quite efficient in handling tasks.

For quite a period, they, along with Liu Xingyu and Liu Xingtui, formed Zhang Fan’s help on both the obvious and hidden sides.

As Zhang Fan’s strength grew day by day, the cultivation of the two Little Demons seemed insufficient.

However, over time, their feelings for each other only grew stronger.

As for Black Rat, the two were enemies turned friends, and because of Bai Buran, for Zhang Fan, it was a love-for-your-environment scenario, and he had come to regard him as one of his own.

On the phone, Su Shiyu’s voice was weak and intermittent, stating only the broad strokes, clearly severely injured.

But from what she said, the fact she survived was pure luck, whereas Shi Shougong and Black Rat weren’t as fortunate.

"Calm down, find them first." Fang Changle glanced over, speaking calmly.

He knew Zhang Fan was a person deeply rooted in loyalty, and for this reason, he followed along.

Loyalty is a double-edged sword, it can overcome obstacles, but it can also harm oneself.

"Huizhou is not Jiangnan, this is Qi Yun Mountain’s territory," Fang Changle reminded.

Qi Yun Mountain is one of the Ten Great Daoist Mountains of the world, named with Maoshan, its temple is within the borders of Huizhou Province.

They have a significant voice within the Daoist Alliance.

Meng Qinghuan is a disciple of Qi Yun Mountain.

"I know."

Zhang Fan took a deep breath, fidgeting with a small black iron plate in his hand, trying to distract himself.

"Hmm!?"

Right then, Fang Changle’s eyes fell on the little object in Zhang Fan’s hand.

It was a black iron plate, one end wrapped with a string, forming a special handpiece.

"Why does this look so familiar?" Fang Changle thought for a moment before recalling.

This was the day they went to the black market looking for the Tiger Hong Mountain Monarch, Zhang Fan picked it up as a little trinket.

Back then, the shop owner claimed it was a relic fragment, asking thirty thousand for it, eventually letting Zhang Fan haggle it down to a hundred and fifty bucks.

"You still kept it, even playing with it, aren’t you afraid of tetanus?" Fang Changle looked at the residual rust on the black iron plate, couldn’t help but say.

"Don’t say that, this thing might really be a fragment of some magical treasure," Zhang Fan toyed with the black iron plate.

Ever since acquiring it, he studied it thoroughly, even his kitchen knives couldn’t leave a mark on it, nor did it show any reaction under heat, most notably, he even attempted to smash it with the Mighty Spirit Demon-Suppressing Gold Seal, and it stayed completely intact.
