Chen Fan became the focus.
Prepared meals were delivered to him proactively.
Because of the name Han Ye, he once again enjoyed the treatment of a city lord.
A food called Immortal Fish melted in his mouth. The pure spiritual energy made him feel comfortable all over, and the power circulated through his body before being absorbed.
Every cell seemed to be cheering.
Suppressing his curiosity, Chen Fan swept away the food in front of him.
Others kept looking this way, seemingly unsurprised.
They all knew that Han Ye had been trapped here for a long time, and life without spiritual energy to absorb must have been difficult. The passage in and out of the Forbidden Land was only controlled by major families. Even the strongest lone traveler, without a deep foundation, could hardly control a passage.
Night fell as promised.
"Hoo."
The wind finally picked up here.
For days, the Forbidden Land had been like a dead place. Now, there was finally movement, a trace of wind.
"Senior Han Ye."
A girl named Xiao Rou approached again, asking with admiration, "After we get out, can I contact you again?"
"???"
Chen Fan was confused.
Xiao Rou quickly explained, "Senior, please don't misunderstand. After we get out, I want to hire you once. It's just that I don't have enough treasures now. When I save enough, I'll find you, okay?"
"...All right."
Although he was unwilling, Chen Fan did not refuse.
Nor did he have any reason to refuse.
As a lone cultivator from the Eastern Continent, he would not refuse any opportunity to make money.
"Thank you, Senior. How can I find you?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Fan raised his finger and touched Xiao Rou's forehead.
As her face flushed, he said softly, "After we get out, I should be heading to the City of Freedom. You can find me there. As long as the distance between us is no more than ten thousand meters, I will be able to hear your voice."
Xiao Rou's eyes immediately reddened. "Thank you, Senior."
She even wanted to kneel and thank him, but Chen Fan stopped her.
He shook his head slightly and said no more.
Xiao Rou returned to the team.
"Young Master Huo."
Guo Shaofei whispered, "Han Ye, is he that approachable?"
Young Master Huo shook his head.
It wasn't an answer, but he didn't know.
There was too little news about Han Ye in the Immortal Realm.
All they knew was that he appeared and disappeared without a trace and was very powerful.
Little did they know, their entire conversation fell into Chen Fan's ears. Of course, it was also possible that Young Master Huo and the others had intentionally let him hear.
In any case, by the time dawn broke the next day, the team that had been searching all night had found nothing.
"Young Master Huo."
Chen Fan asked, "Are there any dangers in this Forbidden Land? Why did you hire me to protect you?"
He had been here for so long and hadn't encountered any danger.
The only time he was threatened was by a group of ordinary villagers.
Young Master Huo clearly knew some insider information and nodded, "Senior might be a loner and it's normal that you don't know. Actually, there is a giant burial pit in this Forbidden Land."
"Burial pit?"
"Yes, it's a burial pit that has existed for an extremely long time. It is said that the beings buried in that pit are not completely dead and occasionally come out."
So that's how it was.
Chen Fan looked again, "If that's the case, how did those ordinary villagers survive?"
"Those things don't attack ordinary people."
"I see."
His doubts resolved, Chen Fan nodded. "Young Master Huo, can we leave now?"
He had fulfilled his promise, and now it was up to Young Master Huo to take him away.
"Yes."
Young Master Huo nodded, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a bone appeared in his hand.
A bone?
Chen Fan stared curiously at the bone, which was clearly an arm bone.
"Bones from the burial pit, only these things can tear through the clouds and return to the Immortal Realm."
"Buzz."
As soon as he finished speaking, Young Master Huo directly activated the white bone.
Instantly, a dazzling golden light erupted.
A figure seemed to appear on the bone.
That figure, filled with immense hatred, let out no extra words and threw a punch.
"Boom."
The punch was not very strong.
But a rule from the unseen world emerged, directly tearing open the mist above their heads.
"Go."
Young Master Huo, holding the white bone, charged straight into the sky.
The others quickly followed, and Chen Fan was no exception.
"Senior."
While ascending, Young Master Huo spoke again, "My Huo family is not a dominant force, so we can only use a second-rate white bone. A second-rate white bone will return to the Immortal Realm using coordinates. That is to say, after we get out, we will appear at the Huo family's location."
Only now did Young Master Huo reveal the most crucial point.
Chen Fan glanced at him but said nothing.
No matter where, as long as they could get out of the Forbidden Land, it would be fine.
"Roar."
Suddenly, a sky-shattering roar echoed from the horizon.
"The burial pit has been alerted."
Young Master Huo's expression changed, and he quickly said to Chen Fan, "Please trouble Senior to intercept it. Every time the white bone is used, it will attract the attention of the burial pit, and it will attack. This time is no exception."
Boom.
A figure radiating surging killing intent was rushing towards them through the air.
There was no trace of life, only the origin and the last trace of obsession that refused to dissipate.
The figure that strode through the air carried only overwhelming killing intent.
Bang.
Chen Fan threw a punch.
The figure was directly annihilated under his fist.
"So weak?"
Chen Fan was astonished.
Perhaps the opponent had the strength of a divine level, but for the half-step supreme Young Master Huo, wouldn't a divine level be easy to deal with?
Why did he hire me?
Soon, his doubts were answered.
The shattered figure actually revived in place, and its aura was even stronger than before.
"This..."
This time, Chen Fan was truly shocked.
Rebirth in place?
I don't believe it.
He threw another punch, but the result was still the same.
The incoming figure was blasted apart again.
But then, it revived again.
In the blink of an eye, the person had been shattered by Chen Fan eight times, and had also been reborn eight times.
This was no mere cat, it didn't have nine lives.
What was this constant rebirth?
The figure was reborn once more, and this time, its aura had reached the level of half-step supreme.
"Will a supreme being appear if I keep fighting?" Chen Fan wondered curiously.
"Yes."
Young Master Huo, who was already close to exiting the Forbidden Land, answered him. "Let alone supreme beings, even beings above supreme have appeared."
"Hiss."
Chen Fan gasped.
This is brutal?
Then what's the point of fighting?
"Go."
He ascended rapidly, while suppressing the pursuing figure.
He dared not kill it, for fear of creating an immortal and indestructible supreme being, which would be troublesome.
Chen Fan restrained his power, defeating the opponent repeatedly without killing him.
Finally, everyone ascended through the mist.
The pursuing creature also tried to charge up, but was blocked by the rules of the mist.
"Roar."
The creature roared.
Angry and unwilling, but it could not emerge from the mist.
It could only watch as the passage closed.
The roar disappeared.
The Immortal Realm had been reached.
