Jinling.
In the bustling train station, the crowd was dense, yet a figure moved through like a fish in water, swiftly passing through the people with an excited expression on his face. It was Xu Fan!
Why was he squeezing out from the train station?
There was no choice; the first ti he took a plane, he was forcibly pulled off by the old undying, the second ti, a group from the base forced him down with fighter jets. By the third ti, Xu Fan refused to take any more planes no matter what.
It wasn't that Xu Fan was afraid of attacks—in fact, after killing Elder Mu and most of the elders from the Hidden World Families in the base, leaving only one alive to send a ssage, Xu Fan wouldn't encounter any more attacks for a short while.
Though the Taoist influence is extensive and completing a kill order can bring many benefits, the premise is having a life to enjoy them.
The iron-handed tactics Xu Fan used in the base were enough to deter all petty crooks!
Leaving the base, Xu Fan headed straight for Jinling. However, since he had entered the secular world, he couldn't flaunt his Fire Wings to return to Jinling. Xu Fan's explosive speed could certainly surpass satellite monitoring, but that was just an explosive speed, and maintaining it constantly was unsustainable, even for Xu Fan.
So, considering all these factors, it was no surprise that Xu Fan squeezed out from the train station.
Walking again on the familiar streets of Jinling filled Xu Fan with emotions.
Entering the school, first eting Sumr Xiao Die, taking over Lingyan Pavilion... events from the past seed like they happened just yesterday.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Fan collected his emotions and strode toward the familiar direction.
At this mont, Xu Fan was unaware of what had happened to the Taoist sect and knew even less about the happenings in Jinling. He was simply walking toward the familiar direction with full anticipation.
For lovers, a day apart feels like three years, and Xu Fan and Sumr Xiao Die hadn't seen each other for several months! Since getting involved with the base and the Hidden World Families, realizing the massive influence of the Cultivation World on the secular world, Xu Fan hadn't even called Sumr Xiao Die once.
Despite Xu Fan's mind being as firm as iron, the longing in his heart was now uncontrollable.
Knock knock knock!
He lightly knocked on the door, hiding a bouquet of fresh flowers behind him, waiting for Sumr Xiao Die to open the door and reveal a joyful expression upon seeing him.
However, there was no sound of footsteps from inside the room.
Knock knock knock!
"Xiao Die! It's ! I'm back!"
Xu Fan couldn't help but call out, but there was still no response from inside the room.
This scene made Xu Fan's expression change slightly. His Divine Sense surged out, scanning the room, which was orderly as always, yet there wasn't a single figure.
"Sothing's wrong!"
Bang!
Xu Fan gently exerted force, pushing the door open directly, his eyes sweeping over the arranged furniture, his brows involuntarily furrowing.
According to reason, from the mont Xu Fan stepped into Jinling, Lingyan Pavilion should have noticed his presence. Shi Lei, Chen Dongdong, Hu Busan, Igarashi—these people should have received the ssage long ago.
Originally, Xu Fan thought these people were gathering to give him a surprise, but now, as he looked at the empty room, he felt sothing was amiss.
Though everything looked the sa, Xu Fan felt sothing deliberate as if everything had been disrupted and rearranged.
Could sothing have gone wrong?
Lingyan Pavilion had long been the predominant force in Jinling, and with Xu Fan's arrangent for the Grey Wolf Team, its strength should have significantly increased. What kind of mishap could occur in Jinling? Even if sothing happened, it must be significant. Why hadn't he heard any news?
Regardless of being in the secular world, a pair of Fire Wings suddenly spread from Xu Fan's back. With a swift flap, Xu Fan had disappeared from his original place.
Since there was no one at ho, Xu Fan decided to go outside and look! Jinling was only so big; Xu Fan didn't believe he couldn't find a single person!
A vast Divine Sense surged out from the Spiritual Platform, extending wildly to every corner of the city—company, bar, street, police station... Xu Fan wasn't willing to miss an inch of land.
However, in the end, there was still no trace of Sumr Xiao Die.
Not only Sumr Xiao Die, but Xia Yanyu, Qin Lan, Shi Lei... a group of very real individuals seed to have suddenly vanished from this world at this mont, completely disappeared without leaving a trace!
At this mont, the Jinling Xu Fan was once so familiar with suddenly felt strange. Everyone seed so unfamiliar, even those he had only t once seed to have all disappeared!
No longer worrying about exposing his whereabouts, Xu Fan picked up his phone and flipped through contacts, calling them one by one.
Sumr Xiao Die, powered off.
Xia Yanyu, powered off.
Qin Lan, powered off.
Shi Lei, powered off.
...
He called through all the numbers in one go, only to find that everyone's phone was powered off. This change made Xu Fan clench his fists, his eyes even starting to turn a bit bloodshot.
Whew!
Xu Fan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Blindly worrying would only make him lose his composure and worsen the situation. Only clear judgnt could solve the problem.
Moreover, people like Sumr Xiao Die were just ordinary people or cultivators. Even if opponents captured them, it was rely to target him!
In Jinling, Lingyan Pavilion was already like a leading dragon. Even an ordinary Hidden World Family couldn't kidnap everyone silently without a trace, much less control or directly obliterate them. Only a force beyond ordinary Hidden World Families could do that!
Even a Mysterious Light Realm expert couldn't manage to conceal taking a large group of people from this world without any trace.
In the Huaxia cultivation world, there aren't many forces beyond the typical Hidden World Families, and even fewer would attack Xu Fan!
Who exactly is the enemy?
The Taoist sect! Heavenly Witch Sect! Or first-class forces like the Lan Family and Luo Family! All were possible!
And what is the enemy's purpose?
Clearly, the purpose was Xu Fan! Or rather, it was Xu Fan's life!
But since the enemy had seized his weak point, why didn't they leave clues, set traps, and wait for him to co in? Or simply state their conditions, demanding he surrender?
This point was sothing Xu Fan couldn't figure out no matter what.
Taking out his phone again, Xu Fan habitually dialed the old undying's number, but before he could answer, Xu Fan quickly hung up.
It's inappropriate!
Though the old undying had settled in the Six Gods, he wasn't all-powerful and might even have his communications cut off by them. If the old man knew Sumr Xiao Die and others had disappeared, he would've already called!
This ant contacting him now would only add one more person to worry!
Regaining his composure, Xu Fan's eyes flashed with determination. With a gentle flap of his Fire Wings, he shot off like an arrow in a direction.
Since the enemy left no trace, Xu Fan would find the answers in his own way!
