Chapter 305: Daoist Kuishan

After waiting for a while longer, and seeing that no one else was coming, the man waved his hand and closed the main gate.

Finally, he returned to the main hall, smiling at the group as he said:

“Everyone, we meet again. Most of us here are old acquaintances, of course, we also have one new face.”

“Let me briefly introduce myself. I am Fan Zheng, and I am also the one who called everyone here for this matter.”

He then pointed to the man who had been here from the beginning and said:

“This is Han Qiuyi, a rather well-known expert in the nearby area.”

“This fairy is Fairy Hualing from the neighboring city, her strength is something you should all be aware of.”

After speaking, he continued by pointing to the man who came in last and said:

“Blood Blade Six Tianzi, no need for me to say much more.”

Finally, he looked toward Gu Fan and froze for a moment, as if realizing he had forgotten Gu Fan’s name.

Gu Fan took the initiative to smile and say:

“Gu Fan, just a wandering cultivator passing through.”

Fan Zheng immediately laughed and said:

“Haha, yes, yes, Brother Gu Fan is someone I met near the Immortal Boat, and he’s also interested in this operation of ours. It’s all fate.”

At this time, the man called Six Tianzi chuckled and said:

“Old Fan, what you’re doing is a bit against the rules, isn’t it?”

After saying that, he looked at everyone else and continued:

“I recognize everyone here. Brother Han and Fairy Hualing are both famous figures, naturally I acknowledge them, but this Brother Gu Fan is a new face.”

“It’s fine that we don’t know him, but we also don’t know his strength. If he drags us down during the operation, it could very well put us all in danger.”

After he finished speaking, Han Qiuyi and Fairy Hualing didn’t say anything, only looking at Fan Zheng as if waiting for his explanation.

Fan Zheng’s expression changed slightly, but he knew those words weren’t wrong.

However, he himself cultivated a special sensing technique, which allowed him to be certain that Gu Fan’s strength was definitely not weak.

That was one of the reasons why he had taken the initiative to invite him.

More importantly, Gu Fan was an outsider. When they succeeded, they could simply work together to get rid of him—wouldn’t that mean one less share to split?

A foreign expert dying here would be just that—dead. Who would even investigate?

“Six Tianzi’s words make sense, but I can guarantee that this Brother Gu Fan definitely has enough strength to take part in this matter, so everyone can rest assured.”

“Could it be that Brother Fan has crossed hands with him?”

“No, I haven’t…”

When Blood Blade Six Tianzi heard this, he immediately laughed and said:

“Then there’s no guarantee. Since that’s the case, I’ll help Brother Fan test Brother Gu Fan’s depth!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Blood Blade Six Tianzi attacked without warning.

A streak of blood-red blade light flashed through the air, carrying endless killing intent and blood energy as it slashed toward Gu Fan!

Gu Fan, however, was not angry. With a casual wave of his hand, he dispersed the blade energy.

“Good power, but the solidity is lacking. Why don’t you take one move from me as well?”

After saying that, Gu Fan also casually pointed toward Six Tianzi.

In the next instant, the same blood-red blade light appeared, but this time the killing aura within it was even more intense, the blood color nearly turning black, concentrated to the extreme.

The exact same move of the Peaceful Dispersal Decision ruthlessly slashed toward the other party.

Six Tianzi’s expression changed drastically—this blade light’s killing intent surpassed his own!

Although he had not used his full strength earlier, to have his attack taken so easily, and then see his move instantly replicated and sent back at him, was enough to prove Gu Fan’s might.

He quickly circulated his spiritual power and struck with all his strength.

Only then did he barely block Gu Fan’s casual strike!

When the blade light dissipated, the scene was momentarily quiet.

After a short pause, Fan Zheng suddenly laughed aloud and said:

“Hahaha, that should be enough for you all, right?”

“I told you, Brother Gu Fan’s strength is absolutely solid—he won’t hold us back.”

Blood Blade Six Tianzi’s face was a bit unsightly, but he didn’t continue provoking him. He only nodded and said:

“Indeed strong, I was the one who offended you just now.”

Han Qiuyi then laughed and said:

“Since there’s no problem, Brother Fan can now tell us about the matter, right?”

Fan Zheng, hearing this, quickly smiled and sat down.

After pouring everyone a cup of tea, he began to explain:

“This time, while tracking the clues of a senior from a hundred years ago, I discovered a certain ancient treasure ground.”

“This senior was not widely known, but he was quite active in our region back then and was considered a somewhat famous expert. It’s said that his cultivation had already reached the Three Blossoms Realm.”

Hearing this, Han Qiuyi immediately showed curiosity and asked:

“Three Blossoms Realm… what was this senior’s name?”

Fan Zheng smiled faintly and said slowly:

“This senior was called Daoist Kuishan. However, it’s said that after one treasure-hunting expedition, he disappeared without a trace and never appeared again.”

“Some suspect he died at the treasure site, but through some of his manuscripts and scattered information, I was able to locate this treasure ground.”

“What do you think? Although this place is dangerous, for it to draw someone like Daoist Kuishan of the Three Blossoms Realm, there must be a great treasure there!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan was stunned.

Daoist Kuishan… this name was extremely familiar.

Gu Fan slowly searched his memory for the name and finally remembered.

The Ten Thousand Transformations Golden Booklet!

Back then, when the Ten Thousand Transformations Golden Booklet tried to scheme against him within his Sea of Consciousness, he had forcefully suppressed it.

After mastering the Domain Suppression of Myriad Phenomena—one of the Four Ultimate Combat Techniques—he completely devoured its divine soul.

During that process, he absorbed all of its memories, and the owner of the booklet had originally been a human cultivator.

He had died during a treasure-hunting conflict, leaving him with no choice but to attach his divine soul to the Ten Thousand Transformations Golden Booklet.

In that human cultivator’s memories, his name was Daoist Kuishan.

It turned out Daoist Kuishan was at the Three Blossoms Realm…

What he hadn’t expected was such a coincidence—running into this matter here.

Currently, Gu Fan only had the first five layers of the Domain Suppression of Myriad Phenomena. The rest of the technique was incomplete.

The complete version might only be inside the treasure left behind when Daoist Kuishan perished.

This was a perfect chance to retrieve it.

Moreover, it seemed that the treasure might not only contain the complete version of the Domain Suppression of Myriad Phenomena, but also other treasures.

Fan Zheng continued smiling as he looked at everyone:

“Everyone, what are your thoughts?”

This time, Blood Blade Six Tianzi was the first to speak.

“Thoughts? As long as you can guarantee the location is correct, of course we’ll give it a try! If the treasures inside truly exist, they could help us cultivate two great realms higher!”

Fairy Hualing, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke:

“I agree as well. Who wouldn’t want to explore a treasure ground?”

Seeing the two agree, Han Qiuyi also nodded, indicating he had no objection.

At this point, everyone turned their gaze toward Gu Fan.

Now that they knew Gu Fan was strong, none of them wanted to deliberately offend him.

When necessary, his opinion was worth asking.

Gu Fan smiled and nodded.

“Since everyone is going, naturally I can’t spoil the mood. Besides, what cultivator doesn’t lack cultivation resources?”

Hearing this, Fan Zheng knew the matter was settled.

He immediately laughed heartily and said:

“Then it’s decided! The five of us will go explore this treasure ground together!”
