Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

He immediately summoned Little Foodie from the Chaos Immortal Palace and took it to begin a careful search within a hundred feet around the Jinque Mountain Villa.

As the sun sets, its afterglow casts its rays on the earth. Lin Fan and Little Foodie shuttle around the Jinque Mountain Villa. Their movements are quick and cautious, for fear of missing any possible hiding place.

After some effort, they indeed found an almost negligible trace of blood about ten feet away from the yard.

Lin Fan's heart tightened, as the bloodstain seemed to be the last clue left by the escaped ghost cultivator.

However, as the search deepened, no more traces appeared, as if the ghost cultivator had really turned into air and disappeared among the mountains and rivers.

Lin Fan's figure seemed a little lonely in the light and shadow. He hit his head in annoyance, his brows furrowed, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

The night breeze blew, bringing a cool breath, but it could not blow away the resentment and frustration in his heart.

If he had known earlier that the Ghost Escape Technique had such a shortcoming, then the seriously injured Pavilion Master Li would never have been able to escape from under his nose.

This regret is like the night, deep and hard to dispel.

As the night deepened, Lin Fan's heart gradually calmed down. He knew that annoyance and regret could not solve the problem. Only by working harder could he prevent similar things from happening again.

The next morning, when the sun shone on the Jinque Mountain Villa, Ximen Zhi and Jin Buke had already woken up.

Although their bodies have not fully recovered, the light of life has rekindled in their eyes.

The two smiled at each other. Despite the many crises they encountered yesterday, they were still full of vitality today. Their tenacious spirit is admirable.

In the simple yet warm ward, the two excitedly talked about the sudden encounter with the ghost cultivator Pavilion Master Li.

In their memories, the dangerous battles and the escapes between life and death, every detail made them feel excited and heart-pounding.

Just as Lin Fan, Ximen Zhi and Jin Buke were discussing yesterday's battle and future plans.

Jiang Shuiling's sudden appearance was like a gust of wind, breaking the warm yet tense atmosphere.

"There's news about Fang Yutian!"

Jiang Shuiling hurried into the room, her voice sounding a bit anxious, as if she had brought bad news.

Lin Fan's heart tightened. He immediately put down the teacup in his hand and looked directly at Jiang Shuiling: "Fang Yutian, how is the establishment of the branch going?"

His voice was urgent, and it was obvious that he was extremely concerned about Fang Yutian's situation.

Jiang Shuiling looked solemn, her brows furrowed. She took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice, "It's not optimistic. Fang Yutian's situation is not good either!"

This answer was like a bombshell that exploded in the room, making the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.

Lin Fan frowned, feeling an unprecedented anxiety: "Where is he now, what is his specific situation?"

He almost stood up, walked to Jiang Shuiling and asked anxiously.

At this moment, he could no longer maintain his usual composure, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped.

Jiang Shuiling looked at Lin Fan's anxious expression. She knew how important this news was to him.

She hesitated, as if trying to find the best way to start her speech.

Finally, Jiang Shuiling spoke, her voice full of worry: "Fang Yutian is a descendant of the Fang family in Yunxiao City. This time he planned to build a branch in Yunxiao City, hoping to take advantage of the family's influence. Unexpectedly, not only did the branch fail to be built, but the Fang family's ancestral home and the Fang family's position in Yunxiao City were also in danger!"

This news is as chilling as the cold winter, making people feel cold.

Lin Fan and his companions sat together, discussing the complicated situation in Yunxiao City and Fang Yutian's predicament.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the air and everyone's expression was extremely serious.

Jin Buke, who has always been known for his steadiness, could not help but nod repeatedly upon hearing the news that Fang Yutian was planning to establish a branch in Yunxiao City, expressing his agreement with Fang Tianyu's vision.

"Yunxiao City is located in Yan State, where several other major forces converge in Xia State. The forces are complicated and intertwined, but the trade is developed and the information is convenient. It is indeed a great place to establish a branch!"

His voice was full of appreciation for Fang Yutian's choice, but also revealed his concern about the current situation.

Ximen Zhi, dressed in white, although not yet fully recovered, slowly spoke after hearing Jin Buke's words and expressed his own opinion: "The Fang family is also a noble family. Who can pose a threat to the Fang family in Yunxiao City? Especially the Zhan family, a subordinate of the Fang family, is famous for its fighting ability!"

His words revealed his recognition of the Fang family's strength, but were also filled with doubts as to why anyone would dare to threaten the Fang family.

Jiang Shuiling's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, making the atmosphere in the whole room even more solemn: "The Zhan family is really good at fighting. This time, it is the Zhan family that threatens the Fang family!"

Although her voice was gentle, every word she said was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone present.

The intervention of the Zhan family undoubtedly made the dispute more complicated.

Lin Fan's expression became more solemn. He had vaguely heard of the strength of the Zhan family, and such an opponent should not be underestimated.

He turned his gaze to Jiang Shuiling and asked eagerly, "How long does it take to get to Yunxiao City from here?"

There was a sense of urgency in his voice, and he seemed to be considering the possibility of going to Cloud City.

Jiang Shuiling responded: "If we go forward normally, it will take about a month! If we ride on a fairy bird, we can arrive in three to five days!"

Her answer provided Lin Fan with a glimmer of hope. Although time was tight, if he could reach Yunxiao City quickly, there might still be a chance to save the situation.

At this critical moment, Lin Fan stood up, with a determined look in his eyes.

He knew that this was not the time to hesitate and that he had to take action immediately.

Jiang Shuiling's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart: "If we reach Yunxiao City in a month, I'm afraid not only Fang Yutian, but the entire Fang family will no longer exist!"

This sentence made the already solemn atmosphere even heavier; every word was filled with a sense of powerlessness and urgency.

Lin Fan turned around, looking directly at Jiang Shuiling with a sharp gaze: "Do you have any fairy birds in Tan State for us to ride?"

There was a glimmer of hope in his voice, as if he was looking for the last possibility.

Jiang Shuiling shook her head, with a hint of apology in her expression: "To be honest, Tan State is a small country and there are no fairy birds!"

Her voice was low, and she sounded very certain and very embarrassed.

This answer seemed to pour a bucket of cold water on Lin Fan, instantly dampening his hope.

Seeing Jiang Shuiling's embarrassed expression, a flash of inspiration came to Lin Fan's mind.

His spiritual consciousness suddenly probed into the Chaos Immortal Palace, looking for the one who might be their savior - Little Foodie.
