Chen Fan didn’t leave the other four or five vicious men alive either. After killing the leader, he sent the rest to hell to join him. With their deaths, all their fortune fell into Chen Fan’s hands. Although they were outlaws, they had accumulated a substantial fortune over the years. The immortal stones alone totaled more than a thousand, which was a huge fortune. Of all their possessions, only the immortal stones caught Chen Fan’s interest. The rest, cultivation techniques and martial arts, were unremarkable. The only notable one was the leader’s ghost Dao art: a low-grade immortal art, surpassing the basic immortal arts. However, this ghost Dao immortal art was too sinister. To gain any mastery of it, one needed to keep killing people and refining their souls, turning the victims into evil spirits. It harmed the peace of the world; Chen Fan couldn't practice it. “Later on, I’ll hand this ghost Dao cultivation technique to the sect and let them handle it. They will probably reward me with quite a bit of merit points.” Chen Fan didn’t destroy this ghost Dao immortal art and put it away instead. “Hmm? What’s this remnant map?” Chen Fan discovered a remnant map about the size of a palm in the leader’s storage ring. There were some lines drawn on it, and from the break in the remnant map, he could vaguely make out the word “Qian,” a detail only visible with careful inspection.[1] “Could this be a treasure map? Qian... Qian what? Shame it’s just a fragment. No way to tell how many pieces exist. Whatever. If I come across more in the future, I’ll explore it then.” Chen Fan didn’t think much of it and put the remnant map away. The odds of finding the other pieces were slim, but there was always the chance—what if. After organizing his trophies, he was about to leave when the winds suddenly rose and the clouds surged in the sky. A terrifying aura pressed over, pressing down on him with suffocating force. At the same time, a fierce shout rumbled. “Chen Fan, I finally found you!” “Hmm?” Chen Fan’s expression changed, revealing a serious look. Someone had come specifically to find him? He didn’t believe for a second that they were here to look for him to drink and chat. No one released such a powerful aura, with clear killing intent, just to chat. A thought suddenly struck him, and his face darkened again. Could it be Gu Xun... Although he had defeated Gu Xun and heavily injured him, making it impossible for him to get out of bed without a month or two of recuperation, if he wanted to take revenge, he didn’t have to act personally. With his status as the Gu Clan’s young patriarch, he had options: hire assassins, or simply send clan experts to do the job. The Gu Clan was an Immortal King clan in the eastern region, having stood in the Heavenly Realm for over ten thousand years. At their peak, they had several Immortal King realm giants in their clan, and even a quasi-Emperor realm powerhouse had emerged in their clan once. Had they taken one more step, transcended the king realm, and broken into the emperor level, they could’ve turned into an Immortal Emperor clan, becoming brilliant as sun and moon. Although the Gu Clan was no longer as glorious and only had an Immortal King old ancestor left, they could still easily crush Chen Fan. A figure appeared in Chen Fan’s vision almost instantly. It was a man dressed in a Featherlight Daoist Robe, radiating the aura of an Invincible Legend, nearly touching the Void Immortal level. Not a member of the Gu Clan... a disciple of the Featherlight Sect! Chen Fan recognized him at once, not from the man’s face, but the robe. Only disciples of the Featherlight Sect were allowed to wear it. Luckily, he’s not an Immortal Platform realm expert, just an Invincible Legend. I might not win, but I can still escape. Dozens of escape plans flashed through his mind as he quietly sighed in relief. If Gu Xun had invited Immortal Platform realm experts from the Gu Clan to strike, Chen Fan would have stood no chance. Against such power, he’d be utterly helpless. He quickly channeled his cultivation and the pressure locking him down, and shot into the distance. Not even for a second did Chen Fan consider it. “Thinking of running? Can you run away from me, Zhao Jun?” The man sneered coldly. Dense laws entwined around him, turning into a terrifyingly large hand that blotted out the sky. Its momentum could collapse heaven and earth as it flew toward Chen Fan. He was a powerhouse in the peak Invincible Legendary realm, just a step away from the Void Immortal realm. Not even ordinary Invincible Legendary realm experts could withstand a strike from him, let alone a peak Lesser Legend. The space cracked and crumbled under Zhao Jun’s large hand. The air shattered from the crushing pressure, producing loud rumbles. The mountains below were destroyed under this terrifying force. In an instant, Zhao Jun’s massive hand appeared in the sky above Chen Fan, reaching down to catch him. Without hesitation, Chen Fan stepped forward and shot out like a streak of golden light. As the hand tore through the sky, it closed in on its target; just before it reached him, Chen Fan vanished, slipping past like mist. Afterward, he appeared a thousand meters away. Using his Wings of Rain Dragon, he flickered through the air, vanishing and reappearing as if teleporting. Above, Zhao Jun’s eyes flashed with surprise. For a moment, he couldn’t understand how Chen Fan had escaped his grasp. When Zhao Jun saw the Wings of Rain Dragon at Chen Fan’s back, he immediately came to a realization. A flicker of greed and determination crossed his face. “It’s no wonder he slipped past me. That martial art isn’t ordinary. If I master it, my speed will be unmatched below the immortal realm!” Zhao Jun surged forward, chasing after him. “Chen Fan, give up! Escape is impossible!” shouted Zhao Jun. The sound waves turned into a large saber and slashed at Chen Fan. Chen Fan ignored him. Flapping the Wings of Rain Dragon, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot, leaving the sound blade to strike empty space. The slash tore a deep gash into the ground, shattering stone and exposing demon bone spirits hidden below, who were instantly annihilated. Seeing him slipping out of his grasp once more with his instantaneous acceleration, Zhao Jun felt even more excited. His desire for Chen Fan’s Wings of Rain Dragon burned even hotter. “Good, good, good. I’ll take this secret technique of yours. You can’t escape, not even if you flee to the ends of the world.” 1.
