"No need to fear," Chen Fan said to everyone.
"If a fight truly breaks out, Zhan Nian, you hold them off first. I'll be down soon." With that, Chen Fan soared upwards.
Only then did Zuo Shendian appear at the cave entrance, looking as weary as Chen Fan had previously.
Or rather, Zuo Shendian's current appearance was one of true dishevelment.
As the people from District Thirteen surged in, the situation was now that Zuo Shendian's hundred-plus men were confronting Chen Fan's twenty-odd.
"Don't you like the current situation? Do you have a chance of winning?" Although Zuo Shendian did not yet know Chen Fan's full strength, based on Zhan Nian and Yan Rong's cultivation levels, even if Chen Fan were a peerless genius, he would only be at the Nascent Soul middle stage.
Moreover, if Zuo Shendian were to consume the potential-enhancing drugs from District Thirteen, his true qi could instantly surge to the pseudo-demigod level. Although this would only last for ten minutes, combined with the joint attack formation, it would surely possess the power of a divine-level expert. Furthermore, the current situation was a six-to-one confrontation.
The drugs and the joint attack formation were Zuo Shendian's true trump cards. However, Zuo Shendian felt that these mere foot soldiers didn't warrant their use.
"Where is Chen Fan?" Zuo Shendian looked left and right, not seeing Chen Fan, and then asked.
Bai Zhannian pointed upwards. Zuo Shendian looked up.
He saw Chen Fan at that moment leaping back and forth between the tomb walls, heading ever higher.
"Seeking death!" Zuo Shendian drew his treasured sword and unleashed a sword energy strike towards the sky.
Bai Zhannian simultaneously flung out a sword energy strike. The two beams of energy collided directly.
"Boom."
After a great explosion, in Zuo Shendian's eyes, his sword energy should have easily cleaved through Bai Zhannian's.
At this moment, Bai Zhannian became a troublesome opponent in Zuo Shendian's eyes.
"You... what is your cultivation?" Zuo Shendian asked.
"I am the same as you, at the peak. Your opponent is me."
As Bai Zhannian spoke and charged forward, his fearless demeanor genuinely startled Zuo Shendian.
Chen Fan, observing from above, saw Bai Zhannian engaging Zuo Shendian below. Meanwhile, Chris, as the副将 (fùjiàng - second-in-command), led the members of the Undead Knights in a charge against the District Thirteen forces. The two sides began a fierce battle. Who could have imagined that Chen Fan's side would have two peak Nascent Soul stage experts?
The situation below instantly reversed. At this moment, Chen Fan had estimated he had climbed to the position of the treasure pearl. It turned out to be a hollow design. Chen Fan looked inside and saw a silken, gossamer-like robe intricately carved with gold thread lying quietly within the pearl.
"Is this the new divine artifact?" Chen Fan asked, taking it into his hand, but he could feel no weight from it.
The voice in the sky rang out again.
"Chen Fan, this is the divine artifact that once accompanied me in my conquests. I hope you will cherish it."
"This item is called the Golden Silk Cicada Robe. Its function is to conceal one's aura, alter one's appearance, and it even possesses extremely high defense, allowing me to stand undefeated in my era."
"This item is also one of the Seven Great Divine Artifacts. Its method of wear is to combine with it. It may take some time, so I hope your friends can hold on. I must depart. When you have fully absorbed this Golden Silk Cicada Robe, you will be my inheritor."
As the words fell, the voice vanished instantly.
Chen Fan glanced back at the battle below and found that the situation was now an overwhelming victory. He then entered the state of interacting with the divine artifact.
However, Chen Fan had fought so many difficult battles, each time effortlessly crushing his enemies. While he understood the principle of a thousand changes in a breath on the battlefield, Chen Fan still chose to trust Bai Zhannian's strength.
At this moment, Bai Zhannian was leisurely engaging Zuo Shendian in a passionate duel, while Chris's contingent was holding off all the pseudo-Nascent Soul stage experts.

"I hope Brother Chen can hurry," Bai Zhannian thought only these words in his mind. Although the battle was going smoothly and Zuo Shendian was being pushed back step by step, Bai Zhannian always felt that something bad might happen.
On Chris's side, he alone was fighting against the remaining six pseudo-Nascent Soul stage experts from District Thirteen. Although he was a peak Nascent Soul stage expert, he was still facing the situation of being outnumbered and had sustained considerable injuries.
