Chapter 626: Land of Changsheng
"We should hurry up and leave this place; if those people come back, we're doomed," Kuang Zhu said anxiously.
Those Ghost Warriors were extremely formidable, with astonishing combat prowess. If it hadn't been for Mei Xian's exceptional Divine Sense, the two of them would have already perished at the hands of these Ghost Warriors.
"I'm afraid we can't leave now; those Ghost Warriors must have already sealed off all the main exits," Ding Fan said calmly.
In fact, Ding Fan didn't really care whether the Ghost Warriors had sealed the exits or not. With his cultivation, he could leave whenever he wanted, and no one could stop him. Ding Fan posed the question mainly because it was not easy for him to come here, and he still wanted to probe into the details of the Ghost Warriors.
Otherwise, he would feel too uncomfortable just leaving like that.
After hearing Ding Fan's words, Kuang Zhu fell silent for a moment before calming down again.
The Ghost Warriors were frighteningly strong in battle, and Kuang Zhu understood that if they really let the other side discover them, they would only have death to look forward to.
"Regarding this person, how do you want to handle him?" Ding Fan suddenly asked, turning to Mei Xian.
Although Kuang Zhu had not said why he wanted to attack Mei Xian, Ding Fan had a good guess. The two of them had fled to this place, and although they were already far from Changsheng, there was still some distance before they could completely escape.
Kuang Zhu must have felt that Mei Xian was too weak, and bringing her along was a burden. But at the same time, abandoning her seemed too wasteful. So Kuang Zhu harbored sinister thoughts, planning to take advantage of Mei Xian here and then eliminate her with a single strike, making his escape from this place in a lighter state.
If Ding Fan could guess this, how could Mei Xian not realize it? Mei Xian glared at Kuang Zhu with a face full of rage.
"Mei Xian, for the sake of the Korean citizenship that I secured for you, please spare me. Just now was my bad, please, I beg you to let me go," Kuang Zhu knew that if Mei Xian decided not to forgive him, Ding Fan could execute him in minutes.
Mei Xian's brows furrowed after hearing Kuang Zhu's words.
Recently, going abroad has been popular, and Korean citizenship is not easy to obtain. From another point of view, Kuang Zhu had indeed helped her.
Seeing Mei Xian's hesitation, Ding Fan's impression of her dropped even further.
If it weren't for Mei Xian's greed, how could she have followed Kuang Zhu here? This situation was in line with an old saying from Huaxia Country: a fly does not bite an uncracked egg.
Kuang Zhu, on the other hand, was very observant. As Ding Fan's expression turned colder, he was the first to notice it.
With a thump, he knelt down directly in front of Ding Fan. "I beg you, don't kill me. If you spare my life, I'm willing to do anything as a beast of burden..."
Seeing Kuang Zhu like this, Mei Xian found it even harder to harden her heart. "Benefactor, please let him go..."
At this moment, Ding Fan acted as if he hadn't heard Mei Xian at all. He asked, "Do you still remember the way out of Changsheng we took earlier?"
Kuang Zhu was stunned; he hadn't expected Ding Fan to suddenly ask about the way out of Changsheng.
"I do remember..." Kuang Zhu hurriedly said, feeling the intense aura emanating from Ding Fan.
Ding Fan contemplated for a moment, then said, "You lead the way up front; we are going to Changsheng."
What? Going to Changsheng?!
Surprised, Kuang Zhu's mouth gaped wide open.
The Light Pearl had exerted a great deal of effort to escape from Changsheng, and now Ding Fan was actually demanding that they return.
"Benefactor, there are too many vicious characters in Changsheng. If we go back in, I'm afraid it might be impossible to come out again..."
"If you don't go, I won't mind killing you right here and now," Ding Fan said calmly but with an undeniable tone.
At this moment, Light Pearl dared not harbor the slightest bit of resistance, fully believing that Ding Fan was a man who meant what he said and could act on it.
Without wasting time, Ding Fan immediately commanded Light Pearl to stand up and lead the way, with Ding Fan following not too close yet not too far behind.
Mei Xian, who had been given the cold shoulder by Ding Fan, pondered for a while before making a decision, and followed behind Ding Fan and Light Pearl.
The three of them set off for Changsheng like this.
Along the way, they often saw Ghost Warriors hurrying out from the direction of Changsheng.
Ding Fan of course knew the intent of these Ghost Warriors; they were trying to intercept Light Pearl and Mei Xian.
The secrets of Changsheng had been sealed for so long. If Light Pearl and Mei Xian really managed to escape, it would surely cause a great commotion in Changsheng. Therefore, the Lord of Changsheng would never allow Light Pearl and the others to get away.
Along the journey, the Lord of Changsheng would certainly deploy a large number of Martial Artists to intercept Light Pearl and Mei Xian.
This made things even more advantageous for Ding Fan; first, with the people inside Changsheng being drawn out, it would be quite empty, which would be very convenient for him to sneak into the Changsheng Residence.
Secondly, with the experts out, if a conflict did arise, with his current level of cultivation, Ding Fan would still be able to handle it.
The three walked on and eventually came to a lake.
"Big brother, we originally escaped from within this lake," Light Pearl pointed at the lake and said when they arrived.
Ding Fan immediately opened his Divine Sense to its fullest to conduct a brief survey of the area.
On the other shore of the lake at this moment, Ding Fan could clearly sense a tremendous Power. Upon further investigation with his Divine Sense, he could feel that this overwhelming Power was that of a Prohibition, guarding a piece of land on the opposite side.
It seemed that within that Prohibition lay the location of Changsheng.
Changsheng, nestled against the mountains and waters, was surrounded by a respectable Spirit Stone Vein, which made the Spiritual Energy here incredibly dense.
It was probably because of this vein that the Lord of Changsheng had been ruthless in decimating the entire Changsheng Village.
As dusk fell, the originally tranquil surface of the lake began to emit wisps of white smoke.
Previously, the lake was shrouded with a layer of white fog, but the white smoke that rose now was even thicker, suddenly turning the entire Land of Changsheng into a sort of fairyland enveloped in mist.
"Master, this white fog is poisonous..." Light Pearl, who had seen the rising fog, said with a worried face.
Having stayed in Changsheng, Light Pearl knew all too well how dangerous this white fog was. It could claim lives directly; many of Light Pearl's companions had died from the poison in this white fog...
