Chapter 514: Zhang Fan

The twilight is vast, the sea of clouds is floating.

One of the ten great Daoist sect famous mountains under heaven, Mount Laojun Mountain.

In the sunset glow, this thousand-year-old Daoist sect famous mountain stood like a pill furnace, breathing in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Lianlu Palace, built along the mountain, the huge gossip furnace platform before the palace was ancient and mottled, engraved with the traces of time, and although there was no bright fire in the furnace, it was filled with a faint medicinal stone fragrance all year round, as if refining a great pill that couldn't be seen.

"It is truly a time of many events."

Beside the furnace platform, Fang Fang Changle's face was covered with a layer of gloom that couldn't be dissolved.

After the Bai Yujing River Beach battle, he had used all the relationships and connections he could use, searching all over the south and north of the river, but Zhang Fan seemed to have evaporated from the world, the vast heaven and earth, actually having no trace left.

Helpless, he passed through South River Province and came to Mount Laojun Mountain, hoping to find some clues from the Qi Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang brothers here.

"You even went to Zhenwu Mountain!?"

Qi Qi Delong looked at Fang Fang Changle's slightly tired face and couldn't help but ask.

It could be seen that after the Bai Yujing River Beach battle, finding Zhang Fan had almost become a heart disease for Fang Fang Changle.

That kind of anxiety of a close friend being trapped in a desperate situation, while he was unable to do anything, and even unable to know his life or death, gnawed at him day and night.

So much so that he, a dignified descendant of Maoshan, a great expert of the Dashi realm, felt exhausted at this moment.

"I originally wanted to ask Li Li Miaoyin..." Fang Fang Changle whispered.

That day, in the ten thousand great mountains, Zhang Fan, Fang Fang Changle, the Qi brothers, Xia Xia Weisheng, and Li Li Miaoyin had joined forces to fight against Li Li Changgeng's group and achieved a major victory in that battle; among each other, they could be considered life-and-death friends.

Especially Li Li Miaoyin...

Fang Fang Changle knew very well that her relationship with Zhang Fan had long since been extraordinary.

The world was vast; apart from Zhang Fan's parents and that brother, he feared the person closest to him was Li Li Miaoyin.

"She doesn't know either? Logically speaking, such a big thing happened, she should be unable to sit still," Qi Dongqiang's voice came from the same body.

Fang Fang Changle shook his head and sighed: "Ever since she was accepted as a disciple by Chu Chu Chaoran Zhenren, she has been in seclusion deep in the Golden Summit; she probably doesn't know anything about the wind and rain outside."

"This..."

Qi Dongqiang heard this and smacked his lips, lowering his voice.

"If she knew Zhang Fan's current situation, I fear she would be furious and break out of seclusion."

"You know, she is now Chu Chu Chaoran Zhenren's disciple; maybe she could find Chu Chu Chaoran Zhenren to come forward," Qi Qi Delong pointed out a line of thought.

"That's all for later," Fang Fang Changle's eyebrows didn't unfold, but the worry in his eyes grew thicker.

The urgent matter now was to determine Zhang Fan's life or death, to know where he was; as for other plans, they had to be put behind.

"Old Fang, actually..."

Qi Qi Delong looked at him like this, his lips moved a few times, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, and finally he gritted his teeth and leaned in quietly, his voice pressed extremely low, as if afraid of disturbing the silence of the mountains.

"The day before yesterday, I did hear some wind, but I wasn't sure."

"What?"

Fang Fang Changle turned his head violently, his gaze surging like lightning in the dark night, terrifyingly bright.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"You think only you care about him? I haven't been tossing and turning these days either; it's just that I haven't confirmed it," Qi Qi Delong said in a deep voice.

"Don't look at how we are in a mess; in fact, Old Zhang's news is still kept very tight; even the people below responsible for the capture know very little about his specific situation," Qi Dongqiang explained.

"So it takes time to get news."

"Where is he now?" Fang Fang Changle couldn't help but pursue.

"He was suspected to have appeared in the Shanhai Pass area," Qi Qi Delong said uncertainly.

"He ran to the north?" Fang Fang Changle's gaze condensed, revealing a look of deep thought: "It looks like he wants to run outside the pass."

"Not sure yet," Qi Dongqiang took over the conversation and whispered: "We brothers have already entrusted an elder in the sect to ask."

"He is in a high position in Dongshan Province, so there should be definite news soon."

Fang Fang Changle remained silent, but the tense and gloomy expression relaxed a lot; after tossing and turning for so long, he finally saw a glimmer of light.

"Three master brothers..."

Just at this moment, a young Daoist walked over with light steps and bowed to the three.

"There is a letter from Jiang Shishu."

Once these words were spoken, Qi Qi Delong's spirit was lifted, and he hurriedly said: "Bring it here quickly!"

He turned to Fang Fang Changle and explained, "This Jiang Shishu is the elder we just mentioned."

"He is an expert of Life Merit 【technique】 completion, serving as an honorary president of the Dongshan Province Daoist Alliance, in a high position."

"We brothers practiced on the mountain when we were young and had a very good relationship with him."

As he spoke, Qi Qi Delong couldn't wait to take the thin fax letter and waved his hand to let the young Daoist retreat.

"What era is it, why use a fax?" Fang Fang Changle couldn't help but mutter.

"Old Fang, we must respect the habits and traditions of old comrades," Qi Qi Delong whispered.

As he spoke, he opened the fax letter.

However, the moment his gaze swept over the content on the paper, the urgency and expectation on Qi Qi Delong's face instantly solidified, as if frozen by extreme cold frost.

His pupils contracted violently, his fingers holding the fax trembling uncontrollably, and that originally steady face lost all blood in a short instant, becoming pale as paper.

Hoo...

That light fax slipped from his powerless fingers and fell onto the cold bluestone ground.

Fang Fang Changle was stunned by his sudden violent reaction.

"Brother..."

Qi Dongqiang's voice also sounded, carrying a trace of sharpness and shock.

Fang Fang Changle's gaze condensed, and the ominous premonition in his heart suddenly climbed to the peak.

He bent down, almost holding his breath, and picked up the fax.

His gaze landed on those few lines of text.

Just one glance, and Fang Fang Changle was struck as if by lightning, his whole body swaying violently, and if he hadn't supported the furnace platform in time, he would almost have been unable to stand steady.

"Outside Qin Huang City, before Lu Zu temple, a great change has occurred."

"Thirty-seven Daoist Alliance experts, all perished, none survived."

"Zhao Shanhe, Qin Qin Tiandeng, Leng Leng Canxiang, Yuan Baitian, Feng Feng Qinghan, five great Zhai Shou, confirmed dead in battle."

"Seven characters left in blood at the scene: The killer is the Three Corpse Daoist."

At this moment, before the Lianlu Palace, it seemed that only the sound of mountain wind roaring remained.

Fang Fang Changle, Qi Qi Delong, and Qi Dongqiang stood stiffly in place like clay sculptures, the air filled with a near-deathly suppression.

The content on the fax was simple, yet shocking to the extreme...

Earth-shattering!

Truly earth-shattering!!!

Thirty-seven Daoist Alliance experts... five great Zhai Shou... wiped out...

Zhai Shou realm!

That was an existence with Jin Dan born and Life Merit 【technique】 completed; placed anywhere, they were figures capable of opening a sect; in the past, even if one died, even if it were a normal death, it would cause a huge sensation, reported to the capital, various memorial services, memorial meetings.

Now, five died at once; that was an immeasurable loss, especially figures like Qin Qin Tiandeng and Leng Leng Canxiang, who were giants famous on one side.

Died, actually all died!?

Even so, the most shocking thing in this fax letter was not the fall of the five great Zhai Shou realm experts, but those last seven characters.

The killer is the Three Corpse Daoist.

What did this title mean? What did it represent?

These seven characters were more like a red-hot branding iron, fiercely burning into the depths of the three people's souls.

"No, Old Qi, what kind of intelligence is this? Are you sure it has to do with Zhang Fan?"

Fang Fang Changle's mind seemed to have ten thousand thunders exploding at the same time, roaring and ringing, shaking his spirit to the point of trembling.

He almost couldn't understand the terrifying information contained in these few lines of text.

He couldn't even connect these words with Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan, when everyone was worried about him, not only didn't he die, but he actually did such an earth-shattering, heaven-piercing event!

He was declaring to the whole world.

This was not fleeing, but counterattacking!

Responding to the Daoist Alliance's pursuit with a bloody and domineering declaration!

"Perhaps... probably... maybe..."

The Qi Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang brothers were also bloodless, their expressions solemn. ===== CHAPTER 515 =====

The brothers Qi Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang were somewhat uncertain, their voices intertwined as they emerged from that shared body.

They were likewise bloodless, their expressions solemn.
