Chen Fan was also a discerning person, knowing that he had reached the Golden Daoist's limit.
If he continued, the other party would surely turn hostile.
It was enough to stop at the right time.
His gains for this day were sufficient.
With this thought, he immediately laughed heartily, "Senior's understanding of the Great Dao is truly as profound as the sea. Junior may never catch up to Senior in this lifetime. Senior is indeed worthy of being a Ninth Order."
A Ninth Order cultivator was forced into such a passive position, and in the end, he was met with mockery.
Yes, it was mockery.
The Lord of Brightness was utterly certain of this.
But what could he say now that things had come to this?
"Hmph."
Finally, the Golden Daoist could only let out a cold snort.
Afterward, Chen Fan's gaze fell upon the other two.
The two Eighth Order cultivators' faces turned pale.
Even the Ninth Order had conceded, what could they do?
"What compensation does City Lord Chen seek?" the Lord of Thousand Silks asked.
"The same," Chen Fan replied.
These two didn't even possess Dao Spirits.
The most important thing was their comprehension of the Great Dao.
As for anything else, sorry... this City Lord truly disdained it.
One of them cultivated the path of the spear, and the other... surprisingly cultivated the path of chaos.
"Too fitting."
Chen Fan turned to look at the Sword Master and the Dragon King, "Are the two of you interested in comprehending the Great Dao of others? Although these two are rather useless and don't have much of value on them, their comprehension of the Great Dao is somewhat passable."
"To comprehend it... not a bad idea."
The comprehension of the two Eighth Order cultivators was criticized by Chen Fan as worthless.
This made the two feel utter sorrow.
"Thank you."
The Sword Master did not refuse.
The same Great Dao, yet everyone's comprehension was different.
Whether it was the saber or the sword, in the end, they all led to the path of weaponry.
There were many aspects that could be learned from each other.
Moreover, to receive such benefits, they also had the right to partake.
Saying this, he directly infiltrated the Great Dao of the spear path expert and began to comprehend the other's Great Dao.
Since the Sword Master had made his choice, the Dragon King naturally wouldn't be pretentious.
The two Eighth Order cultivators could only unfold their Great Dao comprehension in extreme humiliation, allowing the other two to comprehend their own comprehension.
It was extremely humiliating, yet they were helpless.
But at this moment, looking at the Golden Daoist, they immediately felt balanced.
Even the Ninth Order had backed down, so it didn't seem shameful for the two of them to admit defeat.
It was just comprehension of the Great Dao, they would give it.
...
"City Lord Chen."
While the Sword Master and the Dragon King were comprehending, the Lord of Brightness spoke, "Since we have time now, why don't we... discuss the Order Heavenly Policy?"
They firmly believed that Chen Fan had found the location of the Order Heavenly Policy.
"Let's talk."
The compensation he sought had already been retrieved.
There was nothing left to hide now, so Chen Fan spoke directly, "I have indeed found the place."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited.
Although they had already vaguely had a premonition in their hearts, Chen Fan's direct confirmation truly put them at ease, and even made them excited.
"Of course it's true."
Chen Fan nodded, "And..."
Saying this, Chen Fan looked at the Golden Daoist with a smile, "Your guess was correct."
"Pfft."
The Golden Daoist spat out a mouthful of blood.
His eyes turned red, "I guessed correctly? Then why..."
"We'll talk later."
Chen Fan chuckled.
He had to wait for the Sword Master and the Dragon King to emerge.
If he told them now, everyone would surely flee.
Even the two Eighth Order cultivators might refuse to pay compensation.
But now... things had already come to this, and it would only take a little more time.
As for searching now, it was no longer necessary.
Among everyone, only the Golden Daoist's eyes were filled with venom.
As things progressed to this point, his losses were the greatest.
The Sword Master and the Dragon King emerged after a few hours.
"Good."
The Sword Master was very satisfied and turned to bow to the spear path expert, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."
The other party's expression eased considerably, and he returned the bow.
As for the Dragon King, he said nothing.
"Let's go."
Chen Fan turned, "I'll take you there."
The group quickly followed.
And as they proceeded, Chen Fan explained the doubts of everyone.
After hearing his explanation, everyone was speechless.
Such a thing was too simple.
It was a plan that the Sword Master and Chen Fan had long made.
That's right, it was the Sword Master who had found the place.
And the perilous location the Sword Master had told them about was completely fake.
No one suspected this matter.
"You..."
After hearing Chen Fan's explanation, the Golden Daoist's eyebrows shot up.
The venom in his eyes seemed impossible to wash away even with all the water in the Chaos.
"Haha."
Everyone was laughing heartily.
Even the Illusory Sect was laughing with joy.
As for why they were laughing, it was unknown, a matter for each to interpret.
...
Soon, the group arrived excitedly at a dark place.
"Yin Death Dao." everyone recognized it at a glance.
There were myriad Daos.
Yin, Death, Darkness... all belonged to the same origin.
In the end, they could all lead to the same destination.
"This is it," Chen Fan said.
After speaking, he stepped aside, crossing his arms and waiting.
He was waiting, observing... to see if anyone would turn hostile again.
As expected...
"Chen Fan."
The Golden Daoist's venomous gaze once again fixed on him, "Now that I kill you, do you think anyone will help you?"
"..."
The scene immediately fell silent for a moment.
"Heh heh."
Chen Fan sneered, "You really are an idiot. It's you again who steps out. If I don't trouble you further, I'd be letting down your impulsiveness, wouldn't you agree?"
"???"
The Golden Daoist suddenly had a bad premonition.
At this point, even the Illusory Sect was speechless.
He felt that the thing he regretted most in his life was finding a fool as a teammate.
Thinking about it carefully, it was truly a loss.
How many times had he cleaned up messes for this guy over the years?
He was truly annoyed to death.
The Golden Daoist's expression changed, "What do you mean?"
"Heh."
Chen Fan offered no explanation.
He said directly, "Esteemed seniors, please go ahead. Otherwise... Senior Golden Daoist will be displeased."
Hearing this, everyone stopped their nonsense.
Boom.
The group joined forces and directly used brute force to destroy the Yin Death energy in the outer layer.
As expected, after the Yin Death energy dissipated, it revealed the Yin Yang and Life and Death energies hidden within.
Buzz!
This power was perfectly intertwined.
Yin Yang and Life and Death, a boundless power filled the heavens and earth.
"City Lord Chen, please," the Lord of Brightness stepped aside.
Chen Fan did not move, but his gaze fell upon the Golden Daoist.
"What do you mean?" the Golden Daoist's face was gloomy.
He still didn't understand.
"Tsk tsk."
Chen Fan smacked his lips a couple of times and laughed, "Even the Lord of Thunder was severely injured and left here. Senior Golden Daoist, do you think you are stronger than the Lord of Thunder? Or else... why don't you try?"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Daoist immediately understood the key point.
Danger.
That's right, there was danger here.
The Lord of Thunder's power was famous throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Back then, when territories were divided by strength, the Lord of Thunder was qualified to establish his domain in the Upper Three Heavens.
The danger that such a powerful being was severely injured implied was unimaginable.
