Chapter 814 The Leader

After Yao Hui returned, countless people greeted him. They seemed very familiar with each other. Chen Fan's expression remained as calm as before, looking at the excited faces of these people. Indeed, these matters were different from what he had imagined. However, at this point, he was very clear about how to arrange these things next. Yao Hui looked at Chen Fan and whispered, "When you go to see the leader later, remember not to speak recklessly, otherwise..." "I understand!" Although these people all appeared friendly, it was only towards Yao Hui. This woman was well-liked in this territory. Chen Fan, however, did not have such good luck. As he walked, no one looked at him kindly; their gazes were fierce, as if Chen Fan were their enemy. This situation was quite strange. However, for Chen Fan, the current matter was not a big deal; everything was still under his control. Yao Hui quickly led Chen Fan to the end of a territory, where a very small house was built on a cliff face. As Chen Fan approached, he immediately felt a chill down his spine. When he walked closer, the room door actually opened. "Xiao Hui, you go do your thing. I'll handle him," a hoarse voice came from inside. Chen Fan glanced at Yao Hui. She nodded, made an encouraging gesture, and then left. Chen Fan shook his head helplessly and then slowly walked into the room. Inside the room, an old man was sitting by a table, seemingly deep in thought. Hearing the sound, he looked up at Chen Fan and said in a low voice, "I thought so. We should have met a long time ago, but I never expected this meeting to be delayed for so long." "You..." "I know you exist, and I know you will come here. Chen Fan, we finally meet!" The old man looked at him, smiled faintly, and said, "The shamans of the Undead Knights who managed to survive are getting fewer and fewer, and the Undead Knights are no longer as powerful as they once were!" "You just defeated District 13!" "But they were just small fry from the vanguard. Xu Daming's strength is passable, but he is not a formidable character within District 13!" The old man's eyes flashed, and his tone changed. "Now, regarding this matter, I hope you understand the seriousness of the situation. What is happening before you is not that simple." Chen Fan looked at the old man and nodded. Although he did not fully understand what this senior was talking about, he had a general idea of how to proceed. Smiling at the old man, he thought about how to deal with the subsequent troubles. "The Undead Knights have many problems, involving no small amount of trouble. Therefore, I am very curious about what you will be able to do next! We can only tell you where the Eye of the Emperor is now, but how to obtain what is inside the Eye of the Emperor is something we can never help you with!" At this point, the old man couldn't help but sigh. Even though they tried their best to help Chen Fan, at this point, this matter could only bring despair. It was not something that could be easily resolved. Seeing the old man's expression, Chen Fan nodded and whispered, "I haven't had the chance to ask for your name yet." "According to your Da Hua people, you can call me Silu'er." Silu'er, a powerful being passed down from a very, very long time ago, whose abilities far surpassed imagination. Now, Silu'er was old and frail, and many of his past abilities could no longer be displayed. His current state could not change the series of troubles that might occur. Looking at Chen Fan, he understood the troubles he would face next. Chen Fan smiled and said softly to Silu'er, "Senior, you seem to know me very well. I am very impressed. There are very few people who can reach your level." "You will set off for the Eye of the Emperor tomorrow. However, there is something I need to explain to you. While the Eye of the Emperor can indeed find the carrier, it is not the true carrier." "What?" "In the past, to prevent meddlers from causing trouble, we dismantled all the carriers. Only we can gather this thing completely. However, some things happened later, causing the carriers to be scattered and gradually become treasures in the tombs." Hearing what Silu'er said, Chen Fan's face was filled with despair. He thought he could settle the matter this time, but who would have thought that this so-called carrier had such a hidden rule? This was truly adding trouble where it wasn't needed. Judging by what had happened before, even bigger problems surely awaited him. Chen Fan looked at Silu'er and then muttered, "I thought I could settle this matter, but who would have thought it would turn out like this? This is quite different from what I expected." At this point, he couldn't help but give an awkward smile. The past events now seemed so vivid. Silu'er looked at Chen Fan's expression, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying, "I believe in you, young man. You will handle all the troubles. As for the carrier, you don't need to worry too much. You will find it; there is still enough time..." If only it were that simple, Chen Fan thought grumpily. When the problem became like this, his first feeling was a headache. If it were before, it would be manageable, but now, he truly didn't know what to do. What was happening was far more complicated than they had imagined. "I understand. I will do my best." "Take this. The Undead Knights can no longer help you much now, so everything depends on yourself. I can only pray here that you will, as previously stated, end all this chaos here." Chen Fan nodded and accepted the golden coin from Silu'er.
