Chapter 1854: Eyes Are Sharp Indeed

Moreover, since they've already established connections with the Linglong Pavilion, they can extract more information from that side.

Their enemies can also be investigated!

Meng Guangbai and Zhang Bufan have only uncovered a few clues so far, and these clues are tied to Gao Hansong.

Otherwise, they could never have traveled from Tiandao City to Shanhe City.

Tiandao City is their hometown, but because both the Meng and Zhang clans were sealed in Dunhun Mountain, they were forced to wander endlessly searching for clues to rescue their clan members.

Even those clan members not sealed in Dunhun Mountain were either elderly, weak, or injured—none capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.

Previously, Meng Guangbai and Zhang Bufan were both spoiled heirs, but after the great catastrophe, they had no choice but to shoulder the clan's burdens and revive their families.

Luo Fu knew they would return.

Moreover, Luo Fu hadn't turned off the lights—he was simply waiting for them to come back and confess their true origins.

If they wish to travel this path together, Luo Fu will never believe in their character unless they confess.

Zhang Bufan knocked on the door.

"Big Brother Luo, we have something we need to tell you."

"Come in."

After the two entered, Gong Sun Huohuo was still inside; though they were surprised, Gong Sun Huohuo's eyes were sharp as a hawk.

Gong Sun Huohuo glanced at Luo Fu, then at Zhang Bufan and Meng Guangbai, and said: "Master, you predicted this perfectly—they've truly returned."

Zhang Bufan: …

Meng Guangbai: …

Luo Fu sat calm and composed, exuding confidence—something that made the two of them see him as a true transcendent of the mortal world.

Meeting Luo Fu on the Bright Continent, and receiving his aid in the Wild Boar Forest, was fate and fortune for Zhang Bufan and Meng Guangbai.

"Speak quickly—tell us what you want to say."

Gong Sun Huohuo whispered softly: "My master hates dishonest people most of all. If you confess, there will be no problem."

Meng Guangbai also quietly exhaled in relief, grateful they had returned.

If they had waited until tomorrow, they didn't know whether Luo Fu would still be willing to listen to their explanation.

Zhang Bufan and Meng Guangbai exchanged glances, then sighed in relief, and Zhang Bufan began recounting their origins.

Originally, both their families were powerful clans in Tiandao City, with many cultivators, and each generation produced strong cultivators who ranked among the top.

Unknown whether out of envy or greed, their clan elders were deceived into believing that Dunhun Mountain held a rare thousand-year-old Dunhun Spirit Bone.

The Dunhun Spirit Bone required nearly a thousand cultivators to jointly use their cultivation bases to summon it down before it could be fully reclaimed by their own clan.

So the two families conferred and gathered all their strongest cultivators to journey to Dunhun Mountain.

Only the elderly, weak, women, and children remained behind—some even injured or disabled—meaning the Zhang and Meng clans had lost all their combat strength.

But once they arrived, they vanished without a trace.

Half a month later, news came that Dunhun Mountain had collapsed; Zhang Jia and Meng Jia were stunned.

Zhang Bufan and Meng Guangbai escaped death only because, as spoiled heirs, they had not been included in the expedition.

In the end, the other two great families of Tiandao City divided up their assets—homes, medicines, and even the alchemy halls were seized outright.

After Zhang Bufan finished speaking, his chest rose and fell heavily, unable to calm for a long time.
