Chapter 1321: Departure

“The Underworld Clan’s territory is definitely not a place to stay anymore.”

Xu Fan said as he projected a map of the chaotic center’s influence area into the air.

“I can go to either the Heavenly Merchant Clan or the Holy Light Empire.”

After some thought, Xu Fan decided to head to the Heavenly Merchant Clan.

He needed to gather more chaotic truth, and he felt it would be easier to obtain from the Heavenly Merchant Clan.

The next day, Xu Fan visited the Heavenly Merchant Clan’s branch.

“Is there a way to quickly reach your clan’s outer territories?” Xu Fan asked directly.

“There’s a teleportation formation. First, you’ll need to reach the South Sixth Fifth transfer exchange world. From there, you can teleport directly to the East Zone Two’s Third transfer exchange world, which is within our Heavenly Merchant Clan’s territory.”

“Once you’re there, nothing like what happened recently will occur,” the branch chief of the Heavenly Merchant Clan assured him.

“Thank you for the information.” Xu Fan nodded and was about to leave when the branch chief called him back.

“Dear guest, as a gesture of apology, you can mention my name when you arrive, and you’ll be able to use the teleportation formation for free. This will save you 100,000 Primordial Purple Qi crystals,” the branch chief offered.

“Thank you, and I’ll continue to honor my agreement with your Heavenly Merchant Clan,” Xu Fan replied before returning to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“Grape, inform the Yuan Lord and the Lord of the Demon Domain to meet at the Seventh transfer exchange world,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood, Master.”

Meanwhile, in the chaotic center, within the Ancestral Land of the Underworld Clan, a maggot encased in slime was being displayed.

“I warned Yin long ago not to act recklessly when he saw something he wanted,”

“Now look at him—reduced to the lowest form of a maggot.”

“Even after ten epochs, even if he recovers, he’ll likely be useless.”

“Ling, why didn’t you step in to help him?” a Chaotic Great Saint from the Underworld Clan asked Ling.

“Yin coveted their secret technique. When he couldn’t overpower them, he summoned the chaotic River of Time just to deal with a Great Saint, only to be turned into a maggot by the human race’s protector.”

“I couldn’t bring myself to intervene in such a situation, even if he’s from our own clan,” Ling replied firmly.

The Chaotic Great Saint from the Underworld Clan turned to the chaotic saints from Yin’s family.

“If you’ve lost face, it’s up to you to regain it. The clan won’t interfere in this matter.”

“If this leads to any consequences for the Underworld Clan in the future, you will bear the responsibility,” the Chaotic Great Saint said before vanishing.

“Well, I’ve brought Yin back. I’ll take my leave now,” Ling said, waving his hand as he disappeared from the Ancestral Land.

Only the chaotic saints from Yin’s family remained.

“Yin has contributed greatly to the family over the years. If we don’t avenge this humiliation, his heart will surely be damaged once he regains his true form,” an elder chaotic saint from the Underworld Clan said.

“Earlier, even I couldn’t break this curse seal. That shows just how powerful that human protector is.”

“If we pursue this, are we really prepared to involve a Chaotic Great Saint from our clan?” another chaotic saint asked.

The implication was clear: it wasn’t worth provoking a being of that level.

Hearing this, several chaotic saints of the Underworld Clan fell silent.

“Look for an opportunity. If we can draw out the powerful beings behind him, we shall call upon our clan’s strength.”

“The humiliation of being transformed into a maggot must be avenged,” the leading chaotic saint of the Underworld Clan said with a determined tone.

In the Seventh transfer exchange world, the Lord of the Demon Domain was playing chess with an elder of his sect to pass the time.

“I wonder if Xu the Divine Master can hold on this time. Damn it, it’s not my territory, and I feel uncomfortable just staying here.”

“Just the slightest thing of value attracts others’ attention,” the Lord of the Demon Domain said, his frustration evident.

“Rest assured, Lord of the Demon Domain. Xu the Divine Master is profound and mysterious. He will certainly have a way to handle the current situation,” the elder from the Heavenly Dao Gate replied.

At that moment, the Lord of the Demon Domain received another message from Xu Fan.

“Now this is right; if you can’t win, then run.” Reading the message, the Lord of the Demon Domain smiled.

Hidden Spirit Island rose from the ground, breaking through space and appearing in the Chaotic Mist Area.

Then, it swiftly moved toward the Seventh transfer exchange world.

By a beautiful lakeside, Xu Fan and his good brother Wang Yulun were leisurely fishing.

“Big Brother Xu, with a few more pieces of chaotic truth, I’ll be able to become a chaotic saint based on my previous True Self’s foundation. By then, I’ll support you,” Wang Yulun said sincerely, waving his hand.

“You probably need a few more pieces to become a chaotic saint,” Xu Fan realized, almost forgetting that his good brother was already at the peak of the Great Saint level.

“Two pieces should be enough, at most three,” Wang Yulun replied after some quick calculations.

“Three isn’t much; I’ll go get them for you,” Xu Fan nodded.

“Then how many pieces do you need, Big Brother Xu, to become a chaotic saint?” Wang Yulun asked curiously.

“I don’t know; I probably need quite a lot,” Xu Fan said just as his fishing rod tightened in his grip.

A Heavenly Spirit fish over a yard long was hooked.

“Grape, half roasted and half steamed,” Xu Fan instructed, as he preferred to cook what he caught immediately.

“Understood.”

Finally, the Heavenly Spirit fish was placed into a Primal Spiritual Treasure from the gourmet division.

Not long after, an enticing aroma began to waft through the air.

At that moment, Wang Yulun saw Xu Fan suddenly grow excited.

“Big Brother Xu, now that we are both Great Saints, should we have a friendly duel?”

Saying this, Wang Yulun put down his fishing rod, his eyes sparkling with determination, ready for a fierce battle with his big brother.

“?” Xu Fan looked at his brother with a puzzled expression.

“Surely you don’t think that since we are both Great Saints, you can overpower me?”

Who gave you the courage?

“To be honest, when I was in the Feiyu Realm, I was suppressed in less than an instant, and that has become my inner demons.”

“Although it doesn’t greatly affect my cultivation, I always feel it’s a regret.”

“I don’t seek to defeat you, Big Brother Xu; I just want to exchange blows.” An inexplicable battle intent radiated from Wang Yulun.

Seeing his brother filled with fighting spirit, Xu Fan suddenly felt reluctant to discourage him.

“Let’s postpone the duel for a bit. Once we enter the Heavenly Merchant Clan’s territory, we can have a proper fight in the Chaotic Mist Area,” Xu Fan suggested.

Although Wang Yulun was at the peak of the Great Saint level, to Xu Fan, it was just the difference between a small ant and a big ant.

When he was in a good mood, he could easily lift a hand; when he wasn’t, he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger.

“Alright, once we reach our destination, Big Brother Xu, don’t forget,” Wang Yulun’s battle intent diminished.

“I remember that in your past lives, there was one where you achieved the Great Saint level through swordsmanship, right?” Xu Fan suddenly asked.

“Exactly! What’s up, Big Brother Xu? Do you want to guide me in swordsmanship?”

“Not really. Wang Xiangchi has been stuck in his training lately; shouldn’t you, as his father, show him some guidance?” Xu Fan said with a smile.

With Wang Yulun’s current strength, guiding Wang Xiangchi was well within his capabilities.
