Chapter 187: Chapter 187

Xiao Xiaofan was always strictly controlled, so his heart was always set on going out. But there were many people watching him, therefore he had not dared to act rashly.

Lei Xuan thought about it and said, “Immediately, we will go to the Cloud Sky Secret Realm. In that place, there are many natural restrictions and only people below the Golden Core realm can enter.”

Xiao Xiaofan spoke with some hesitation. “I also want to go out but my elder martial brothers and uncles won’t let me. They say that I have just advanced to Foundation Building so I need to stabilize my cultivation.”

When Lei Xuan heard Xiao Xiaofan’s words, he became even more anxious.

“Xiaofan.” A call came.

When Lei Xuan saw the person coming, alarm bells rang in his heart.

“Master,” Xiao Xiaofan called out towards the person who had just come and a strange feeling flashed in his heart.

Xiao Xiaofan vaguely remembered that when he first met his master, he still looked very young and was full of spirit, but now there was a deathly aura round him and his whole person looked much older.

Bai Lizheng gently touched Xiao Xiaofan’s head, and some complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

“You’ve finally advanced to Foundation Building. It’s several months later than I expected, but you are finally on Foundation Building anyway.” Bai Lizheng looked at Xiao Xiaofan with profound eyes.

When Xiao Xiaofan heard Bai Lizheng’s words, he couldn’t help feeling a little shy. “I don’t like to cultivate, so I advanced a little late.”

Bai Lizheng looked at Xiao Xiaofan and sighed not knowing whether it was with regret or blame. “You have such good talent, yet you don’t love to cultivate. What a waste!”

Lei Xuan only felt that the hair on his body began to stand up while Bai Lizheng gave Lei Xuan a meaningful look.

“Senior, please let Xiaofan go.” Lei Xuan couldn’t hold back the words anymore and blurted out.

Bai Lizheng pointed a finger at Lei Xuan’s eyebrow and knocked Lei Xuan unconscious.

Xiao Xiaofan was startled by Bai Lizhengs’ action and looked at him with uncertainty, saying “Master, what are you doing?”

Bai Lizheng laughed and said, “It’s nothing. This lad was too tired, so he needed to have a good rest.”

Xiao Xiaofan spoke with some distress. “But, Master, even if he needs to rest, we can’t let him lie here!”

Bai Lizheng looked at Xiao Xiaofan and said, “You don’t need to look after him.”

Bai Lizheng grabbed Xiao Xiaofan and ran straight towards his seclusion place.

As Xiao Xiaofan was carried by Bai Lizheng, his heart suddenly felt a little more uneasy. No matter how slow Xiao Xiaofan was, he could still feel the hostile intent from Bai Lizheng.

…………

After Lei Xuan woke up, he hurriedly looked for Xiao Xiaodong, who had already advanced to Foundation Building. Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaofan’s Foundation Building time difference was only one or two days. Seeing Lei Xuan’s bad expression, Xiao Xiaodong subconsciously realized that something was wrong.

“Xiaodong, Xiaofan was captured by his master.” Lei Xuan said.

Xiao Xiaodong thought: What should be coming, came after all.

“If I guessed correctly, Xiaofan’s master took him away because he wants to possess his body. I wanted to take Xiao Xiaofan to Cloudy Sky Secret Realm, but before I had time, I…”

Xiao Xiaodong thought: Lei Xuan really has the heart. It was a pity that although Lei Xuan was talented, he was still young. Yet he still had the guts to fight against Golden Core old man.

Looking at Xiao Xiaodong’s calm appearance, Lei Xuan said, “You don’t seem to be very worried.”

“There is a risk in possessing someone else’s body. Xiaofan will definitely survive.” Xiao Xiaodong said calmly.

Lei Xuan was not as optimistic as Xiao Xiaodong. “Elder Bai Li must have made sufficient preparations for possession.”

Xiao Xiaodong narrowed his eyes. So what if he had made sufficient preparations? Who let this guy want his own brother’s body.

For the sake of his brother, his father even refined the legendary Soul Fixing Pill. Xu Muan at first concealed it from Xiao Xiaodong, but when he could no longer keep it secret, Xu Muan simply told Xiao Xiaodong everything.

Xiao Xiaodong looked at Lei Xuan and said, “Go over and take a look, if there is anything, you can help me inquire.”

Lei Xuan looked at Xiao Xiaodong’s appearance and only felt that his calmness was strange.

Lei Xuan looked at Xiao Xiaodong’s composed manner, and suddenly felt a little calmer. Xiao Xiaodong was so calm that he should have some assurance. “I’ll go over and take a look.”

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Thank you.”

Lei Xuan went to the seclusion place of Bai Lizheng. That place was locked from inside for a long time. Lei Xuan knocked for half a day, but no one opened the door for him.

After a long time, Xiao Xiaofan opened the door and walked out of it.

Lei Xuan rushed over and tentatively grabbed Xiao Xiaofan’s shoulders, saying, “Xiaofan.”

Xiao Xiaofan froze and his eyes widened as he said, “Lei Xuan?”

“How are you? Are you alright?” Lei Xuan asked.

Xiao Xiaofan said with some shock, “Yes.”

Lei Xuan looked at Xiao Xiaofan. Although he looked frightened, he moved normally so he breathed a sigh of relief secretly. According to his family elders, once taking over the body is successful, it would take a while for the body possessor and body to fit together. Although Xiaofan’s actions were a little stiff, he should just be scared.

“Where is your master?” Lei Xuan asked.

Xiao Xiaofan raised his head, his face pale as he said, “Master, he… is not moving.”

Lei Xuan, “…” Not moving? Is he dead? If he failed to possess the body, death was the only option left.”

Bai Jingfan hurried over, looked at Xiao Xiaofan, and said gloomily, “Xiaofan, where is grandfather Bai?”

Xiao Xiaofan hid behind Lei Xuan and mumbled, “He’s not moving.”

Bai Jingfan looked at Xiao Xiaofan fiercely and said, “What did you do? There’s no way the old ancestor could have failed.”

Xiao Xiaofan looked at Bai Jingfan with some tremor. Lei Xuan pulled Xiao Xiaofan and said, “Senior Brother Bai, Xiaofan has only advanced to Foundation Building. What could he have done?”

Xiao Xiaofan’s hands trembled as he grabbed Lei Xuan’s hand. Lei Xuan’s face did not show anything but his heart was relieved.

“Ancestor Bai.” Shortly after Bai Jingfan entered the cultivation room, the sound of crying and howling came. Bai Jingfan’s cry was full of bitterness.

Not long after, Bai Lizheng relatives and disciples poured over from all directions and they all walked towards the forbidden room where Bai Lizheng had last gone into seclusion.

The crowd was crying at first but soon they started to fight. Lei Xuan heard vaguely that it was for Bai Lizheng’s space ring.

Bai Lizheng was a cultivator in the late period of Golden Core and he was only second to the two supreme elders in the sect.

It’s hard to say who would have the ownership of the property after Bai Lizheng’s death. There were many relatives and disciples of Bai Lizheng, including many thorny ones.

In the secret room, there was a big fight and Xiao Xiaofan was also targeted. Under Lei Xuan’s persuasion, Xiao Xiaofan handed over all his things and was able to stay out of the matter.

The crowd was in a mess, which alerted the supreme elders of the sect.

None of the people who had been originally quarreling could get a good deal. When the elder came, all the things left by Bai Lizheng were confiscated.

The sect’s Supreme Elder probed Xiao Xiaofan consciousness, then, not knowing whether he was disappointed or relieved, he patted Xiao Xiaofan’s shoulder and said, “This will be the end of this matter. Cultivate well and try to advance to Golden Core as soon as possible.”

The Supreme elder came and went in a hurry, he left just after teaching a few noisy people a lesson.

Xiao Xiaofan’s eyes turned towards his former friendly elder martial brothers. His elder martial uncles looked differently at him as well as other people around. Some were relieved, some were gloating, some with an expression of impending disaster, and some looked at him full of hatred.
