Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1541 714: Senior Brother_2

Fan Xiao said leisurely: "His background is extraordinary. He is a minister to the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate, the Crown Prince of Lady Houtu, the Grand Marshal of the World, and the infamous bandit leader on the Immortal Slaying List. The eminent Heavenly King Chen has been mining here for eight months; if you aren't dead, it's because your ancestors are offering incense for you in the underworld."

The mine boss was astounded. When he regained his composure and was about to inquire further, he saw Fan Xiao was already walking away.

The mine boss shook uncontrollably and suddenly realized, hurriedly ordering someone to find Guan Qinshuang to see if the girl was really dead.

Given that Heavenly King Chen once showed concern for her, if she isn't dead, it might be to his credit.

But he searched for a long time and still couldn't find Guan Qinshuang.

Guan Qinshuang was indeed dead.

For several consecutive months, the mine boss was uneasy, fearful that Chen Shi would come to settle accounts, but it never happened.

Fan Xiao left Dao Wang County, mobilizing the power of the Immortal Court, not to search for Chen Shi, but to look for traces of Zhong Wuwang. Soon, news came from areas like Great Yong and Da Chuan, showing signs of Zhong Wuwang's lingering presence.

"Heavenly King Chen is heading to the Northern Continent! Finally found you!"

Fan Xiao's spirits rose, and he immediately set off along this path, heading toward the Northern Continent.

The Northern Continent is where the Barbarian Clan resides, inhabited by barbarians, with simple folk customs. Along the way, Fan Xiao encountered more than ten robberies, initially by Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, then Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, and later by Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators.

Subsequently, he ran into immortals, then true immortals, golden immortals, and finally, Taiyi golden immortals also came to rob him.

Fan Xiao put on a grim face, mobilizing the forces of the Immortal Court in the Northern Continent to search for Chen Shi's traces.

After more than two months, he finally found Chen Shi.

When Fan Xiao found Chen Shi, Chen Shi's hairstyle had already changed. He no longer wore a golden crown but had his hair shaved; now new hair was growing out, shiny black, only about two inches long.

He wasn't wearing luxurious clothes but rather coarse cloth sewn with animal skins, seemingly hand-stitched, very rough. There were talismans and Dao patterns woven with silk and hemp rope on his clothes.

His face had three or four scars, probably marks left by claws or scales.

His skin was also tanned, following a beast hunting team, with many wounded and disabled members in the team. They were hunting a Desolate Beast called Heavenly Q.

That Heavenly Q, while running, tread on clouds and light; a hoot could make a true immortal dizzy. The horn on its head had an Outer Dao aura, proficient in breaking Immortal Laws, extremely clever, and repeatedly broke through their encirclements.

Chen Shi's beast hunting team, the strongest cultivator was merely a true immortal, while the others were heavenly immortals. Several attempts to capture Heavenly Q failed, with many in their party injured by it.

Besides them, other beast hunting teams also targeted this Heavenly Q, sabotaging them and crashing into their formations, resulting in the death of two members.

"We should kill Old Qian first! They're always scheming against us!"

The team gathered together when their captain, Pang Yunji, said viciously, "Capturing Heavenly Q, everyone will get a significant sum, and with enough money, Wang Chao can buy a True Immortal Technique, Little Lu can go into a life-and-death shut-in. Old Yu could find a magician skilled in creation to help him with his arm! Little Zhong, with money, what would you do?"

The group turned their eyes toward Chen Shi, who showed a simple smile, about to speak, when he saw Fan Xiao.

"Brother Pang, I have a friend coming."

Chen Shi stood up, still smiling, "Excuse me for a moment."

Pang Yunji looked at Fan Xiao, heart trembling: "A master! His attire is extremely luxurious; he must have an extraordinary background!"

"Little Zhong, if there's something, just say it."

Pang Yunji reached for the Immortal Artifact beside him, "We're not afraid of anything!"

Chen Shi looked back and smiled: "Nothing. It's my senior brother coming to look for me. You guys discuss how to get rid of Old Qian, I'll chat with my senior brother for a while."

Fan Xiao stood quietly not far away, waiting for Chen Shi to approach.

"Zhong Wuwang?"

Fan Xiao said expressionlessly, "Heavenly King Chen thinks changing a name will leave me no trace? You're underestimating me."

Chen Shi laughed, "I let you find me so that you could find me. If I shroud the Heavenly Mechanism without leaving any trace, how could you find me here?"

Fan Xiao snorted, not denying it.

If Chen Shi deliberately concealed and altered his appearance, indeed, he couldn't find him.

Fan Xiao said calmly, "Heavenly King Chen, you killed my four junior brothers and sisters, thwarted my sect's plan. I must kill you. Once I find you, I will strike; no one can stop me. Leading me here was the biggest mistake you made."

He was sharp, with a murderous aura, ready to attack at any moment to kill Chen Shi.

Chen Shi said, "Xi Muran said senior brother excels in Sword Dao, comprehending the mysteries of Hongmeng Division, the foremost sword master of our time. He also said, senior brother deciphered Hongmeng Division, gave him a Fu Xi Zither, taught him Dragon Battle Wild Song to kill me. I wonder if senior brother managed to decipher the Hongmeng Division I left behind?"

Fan Xiao was silent for a moment, then said: "No."

He paused, adding: "The Hongmeng Separation of Xuanhuang you left in the bamboo forest on Golden Turtle Island, I couldn't decipher it. Yet, the hatred between us is deep, and I won't spare you just because I can't break your move. I won't achieve Daluo without killing you, needing to satisfy my Dao Heart to certify my path."

Chen Shi laughed: "Indeed. If Xi Muran uses the Dragon Battle Wild Song you taught him against my Hongmeng Division, will he live or die?"
