C99 Exposing His Identity
"Mu Er, are you okay?"
There was no reply for a long time. Third Elder asked in confusion.
"I don't think so, but did Master Gu cure Grandson?" asked the Third Elder. Hu Mu asked.
"Humph, that old man is indeed capable, but he is a man who eats people without spitting out their bones. He secretly poisoned hundreds of disciples of the Hua Ding Sect and treated them as food for blood!"
The Third Elder snorted coldly. Other than his anger, he must also be rejoicing in his heart that he had discovered this scam in time.
However, he would never have thought that he had actually fallen into the basin set up by Chen Fan. He had only seen the ordinary pit in front of him.
"I know, Grandfather. When you come back, we will go and chase that old man away."
"He still wants to settle down in the Yuan Sect. Tonight, I'll make him throw up all the rewards he collected."
The Third Elder was silent. Hu Mu was trembling, and he had yet to recover from his shock.
If that old man could cast a glance through the Jade Chip, he would definitely be able to see his own Grandson. His entire body was drenched in sweat, and he was so nervous that he almost lost control of himself.
The reason why this brat did not give up on Chen Fan just now was mainly because the latter had pressed a sharp knife against his throat in time.
"Master Gu, let's have a good talk. I will definitely persuade grandfather to stop. Please do not be impulsive."
Sensing the sharp aura of the golden energy, even his neck was slightly wet. As long as Hu Mu had a slight flaw, his head would immediately be cut off.
"What's going on? Didn't Grandpa make it sound nice just now? Why did he change his words so quickly?" Chen Fan said with a cold smile. His surprise was no less than Hu Mu's.
This incident happened too suddenly. It was completely out of Chen Fan's expectation. His plan to extort money from the Yuan Sect was completely out of Chen Fan's expectation. He has a lot of contingency records.
However, he didn't expect that the incident would happen in the Hua Ding Sect. His identity as Master Gu had been fabricated by Nangong Yi himself.
"Grandpa, I was wrong. You are a magnanimous man. Please spare my life..."
Hu Mu begged with a trembling voice. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He was afraid that Chen Fan would use his strength to report to the Underworld.
"What are you trembling for, big man? Why are you so timid?!" Chen Fan ordered, interrupting his train of thought.
Speaking of which, his actions in the Yuan Sect had proved his own methods. At the very least, it was true that the Void Tomb was activated, and Hu Mu's condition had improved.
If it was any other doubts, with his and Deer God's glib tongue, they might be able to avoid it. The Yuan Sect probably did not want to let those medicinal Spiritual Stones go to waste.
Regardless of whether or not that reverend Feng had any orders from Nangong Yi, as long as someone from the Hua Ding Sect spoke up, it didn't matter. A single sentence was enough to nail him to death. Any explanation would be useless.
"Hehe, what did I say? If I don't listen to the old man, I'll be at a disadvantage in front of my eyes. In the end, I have to go to the extreme."
This time, it was exactly what Deer God wanted. He let out a strange cry. Since he had already reached an irreparable state, there was no need to hesitate anymore.
"Which step did something go wrong?" Chen Fan's brows were tightly knitted. He muttered to himself, but he could not figure it out.
Although he thought about it, he eliminated Nangong Yi first. This old man had no motive to expose his identity.
Furthermore, Chen Fan had personally brought out the banner of Ancient Saint's successor. As a powerful Sect Leader, he should know the weight of these words.
This was why he had taken the initiative to talk about the marriage to the people of Yuan Sect. He had wanted Nangong Xuan and Chen Fan to become Dao partners for a long time.
"Taking a step back, it can't be Nangong Yi's intention. He wants to curry favor with you even more than Third Elder. He is just short of carrying his shoes. How could he do such a thing?"
Deer God was the same.
"Could it be the High Official Feng?" Deer God asked.
Chen Fan recalled the Third Elder's words. There were no other suspects.
He had some understanding of High Official Feng. When Nangong Xuan first went to the Qing Xuan Sect, he was the one responsible for escorting her.
However, he could not figure out the reason behind it. No matter what he did, there had to be a reason. Furthermore, High Official Feng did not know his actual identity.
"Didn't you hear what Third Elder said? He exposed you as a liar, but he didn't mention anything about the descendant of Ancient Saint or the Qing Xuan Sect."
Deer God reminded. However, he felt that this wasn't the time to worry about this matter, so he urged again.
"You better settle this matter first. Choose a safe place before making your decision."
There was no other way. Chen Fan could only slap the back of mahogany's head. He did not die. He only fainted temporarily. Then, he opened his Storage Bag and started to retract it.
Originally, he wanted to step into the Yuan Sect for the last time in his life. At the very least, it was impossible for him to return before he reached the Nascent Infant Stage realm. He wished he could dig three feet into the ground in this secret room.
Apart from Spiritual Being and magic treasures, he didn't let go of those wooden shelves either. He lined them up and collected the Storage Bags. The Third Elder's family background was almost enough to establish a small sect.
In just a short period of time, Chen Fan had searched through all the accumulated wealth of that old fellow for hundreds of years. His actions were swift and merciless.
Looking at the empty secret chamber, Chen Fan felt more at ease. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he discovered that there were still those Spell Formation outside the stone door.
"Hey, wake up!"
After waking up in a daze, Hu Mu thought that he was already dead. Seeing Chen Fan's face, he quickly regained consciousness. The cold killing intent made him feel fear.
"Send me out of Yuan Sect and I will spare your life."
This kid was completely blinded. The impact of half a day was too great. There was no room for resistance or choice.
"Alright."
There was only an empty house in front of them. The Third Elder must have been so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Hu Mu's eyes were lifeless as he replied simply.
Subconsciously, even he didn't know how those Seals were created. After the stone door closed, he led Chen Fan down the Spiritual Peak and headed straight for the Yuan Sect's mountain gate.
Fortunately, the news of Reverend Feng hadn't spread across the entire Sect yet. Many of the disciples he met on the way were still greeting Chen Fan warmly.
Sect Leader and the others were still in discussion. They didn't intend to deal with Chen Fan on the day of the lecture. It would be too much of a shock to them.
A few days ago, a group of higher-ups had personally brought Chen Fan to an extremely high position. In the end, there was such a shocking turn of events.
If they expelled Chen Fan in front of everyone or made the so-called swindler public again, wouldn't that make Sect Leader and the others slap their faces in a disguised manner?
There was a sharp dagger hidden in her sleeve. It was aimed at Hu Mu's spine, making him feel the threat of death at any moment. Only then did he leave the Yuan Sect smoothly.
Whether he had killed Hu Mu or not, he had been tortured for quite some time. There was no need to kill him anymore.
Furthermore, the insights they had contributed were enough to support their cultivation for a long period of time, as if they had bought their own lives.
"Return to the Qing Xuan Sect?" Deer God asked. There had to be a place to go next.
"Let's go to the Wilderness to hide for a while. Let's take a look at the limelight and restore my original appearance. It shouldn't be a big problem."
This time, the Yuan Sect would certainly fall into a frenzied state. Chen Fan had caused all of them to lose face, and it would certainly cause a huge commotion in the entire North Domain.
Although he didn't involve the Qing Xuan Sect, he still had to be cautious. He couldn't lose his face no matter what.
Fortunately, he had been hiding his true identity. From Master Gu to the disciples of the Qing Xuan Sect, no one would be able to guess that there was a connection between the two unless he exposed himself.
"You are about to reach the Foundation Establishment realm. You must have a stable environment. At the slowest, you must have a stable environment. In just a week's time, there will be a breakthrough."
Deer God naturally knew that this was the key to stepping onto the path of Dao once again. He absolutely could not let his guard down.
"Sigh, human calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. Looks like my title has to be changed." Chen Fan mocked himself faintly.
As the saying goes, there is no heaven. The prerequisite is that he can regain his supreme combat strength. This mysterious Heavenly Dao had already given him Ma Wei.
With a total of 50 million Spiritual Stones and the entire wealth of an elder from the Yuan Sect, Chen Fan prepared to start his first escape.
However, what he didn't expect was that he would see Nangong Xuan again just as he left.
At that time, he had already noticed something strange. Holy Maiden of the Hua Ding Sect had appeared in the vicinity of the Yuan Sect's mountain gate by herself. This was very unusual.
"Why are you here?" Just like how Hu Mu trusted himself, Chen Fan also didn't think that Nangong Yi and his grandson would harm him.
"Master Feng has been sneaking around recently. Today, he came to the Yuan Sect quietly. I will follow him." Nangong Xuan said.
"Sigh, this old man sold me out the moment he came up." Chen Fan sighed. Judging from the former's reaction, he probably did not know about this matter.
"Ah? How could this be?!"
Nangong Xuan was shocked. She only had some doubts about High Official Feng, but she did not expect such an outcome.
"Don't worry about it so much for now. You should change your appearance as well. This face is too eye-catching." Chen Fan didn't want to delay any further. The best choice was to leave the Yuan Sect as soon as possible.
Hu Mu might turn around and report to the three old men. Even the higher ups of the Yuan Sect were gathering. They could rush out and search at any time.
If they saw Nangong Xuan again, everything would be exposed. Things would fall into a deep abyss, and Chen Fan's identity would be exposed.
Nangong Xuan's pretty face turned red when she heard this. Immediately, divine light flashed. She had some thoughts and changed into the appearance of the female servant that she had fired earlier.
As long as one did not pay attention to one's eyes, there would definitely be no one who would linger on her body for a moment longer.
