Chapter 834: Chapter 397: Ten Great Mountains Sect Leader! The Terrifying Flight

Yujing International Airport.

In the departure lounge

After a year, Zhang Fan once again embarked on the journey to Zhenwu Mountain. Looking back, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Last time when he traveled with Li Yishan, he was just an ordinary person, freshly heartbroken and depressed. But now, he possessed the cultivation of the Great Master Ninth Realm.

"What are you thinking about?"

Fang Changle sat beside him, looking at Zhang Fan, unable to resist asking.

"Nothing much, just marveling at the mysterious opportunities in life," Zhang Fan chuckled.

In the span of a year, his life had undergone a tremendous change, entering the extraordinary and mysterious world of cultivation from being just an ordinary person.

Fate is indeed intriguing.

"Why aren’t you traveling with your Maoshan group?" Zhang Fan turned to ask.

"Traveling with the elders means too many rules. It’s better to go with you, explore the path first," Fang Changle replied helplessly.

"Have you booked your hotel?"

"Yes," Zhang Fan casually replied, "just at the foot of Zhenwu Mountain."

This Transcendent Zhenren’s disciple ceremony was kept simple, yet still, too many sects, noble families, and organizations came to send their regards.

The vast Zhenwu Mountain could hardly accommodate so many people; many disciples had to give up their rooms to entertain the esteemed guests.

As a nominal disciple like Zhang Fan, there was even less space for him, so he had to make his own arrangements.

"This time I can really relax."

Zhang Fan also felt a rare calmness; Transcendent Zhenren’s disciple ceremony should bring many familiar faces; however, this time there should be no disturbances, no conflicts, purely joining the fun, treating it like a leisure outing.

"Hmm!?"

Just then, Fang Changle stared at his phone and suddenly made a surprised sound, then looked up at Zhang Fan with a strange expression.

"What’s wrong?" Zhang Fan paused, the hand holding the water cup stopped at his mouth.

"When did you get together with Yu Xuanji?"

"Pfft..."

As soon as Fang Changle spoke, Zhang Fan spit out his water.

"Cough cough... Who... who the hell said I got together with Yu Xuanji?" Zhang Fan exclaimed in shock.

"See for yourself!"

Fang Changle handed over his phone, and right on the screen was a news push from an app.

"Shock! Sanqing Mountain’s Yu Xuanji revealed with a mysterious partner!?"

"According to a Pure Yang Family in Qin Chuan who wished to remain anonymous, recently, during the 23rd Daoist Youth Debate Forum held in Chang’an, Sanqing Mountain’s Yu Xuanji was seen with a partner, reportedly..."

"Secret love, reaching out, sending love messages, like dry wood to fire..."

Zhang Fan looked at the report’s bold words, his expression becoming rather complex. The worst part was they attached a side photo of him; though a bit blurry, those familiar would recognize him at a glance.

This photo was taken at Yunshen Hall, where he was looking at a note left by Yu Xuanji.

However, the news image description said, Yu Xuanji sent love notes, mysterious man yearning.

"Damn..." Zhang Fan couldn’t help but curse.

"Qin Chuan’s Pure Yang Family who wished to remain anonymous..."

Is there a second Pure Yang Family in Qin Chuan? Isn’t it just the Wang Family?

This news definitely came from someone in the Wang family like Wang Qingyi, Wang Qingshan, Wang Qinghe, Wang Qinglian...

"What’s the matter? You conquered Yu Xuanji? Impressive," Fang Changle couldn’t help but say.

During the Hundred Thousand Mountains battle, Yu Xuanji firmly stood with Li Changgeng’s camp; back then, Fang Changle, Qi Delong, Qi Dongqiang, Li Miaoyin, all were involved; that battle was truly life and death, even Li Changgeng was permanently gone there.

Only Yu Xuanji survived and escaped.

How long has it been? They already rendezvoused in Chang’an.

No mistake, the news used words like "rendezvous," "secret meeting."

"What the hell is this app?" Zhang Fan looked at Fang Changle’s phone, itching to smash it.

This was tarnishing his reputation.

"Little Taoist App, haven’t you heard of it?" Fang Changle quickly snatched his phone back upon seeing Zhang Fan’s expression.

Little Taoist App is the hottest news application within the Daoist Sect, equivalent to the Daoist version of the "Little Yellow Book." Initially, it was called [Gossip], later renamed [Little Tao], now with nearly ten million downloads, covering almost all cultivators and related practitioners.

In other words, now almost the entire Daoist Sect knows Yu Xuanji has a partner, and it’s not Li Changgeng, only a step away from naming Zhang Fan.

"Look, the topic [Yu Xuanji’s Partner] already hit the ninth place on the trending list," Fang Changle pointed out on the phone.

This thing even has a trending list.

Zhang Fan took a glance; the current top trending topic was naturally [Zhenwu Mountain Disciple Ceremony]; as for [Yu Xuanji’s Partner], it’s ranked ninth, with a noticeable upward trend.

"You’re truly a model for our generation!" Fang Changle couldn’t help but say, "This says you had a secret meeting in a hotel for three hours, is it true?"

"That wasn’t me," Zhang Fan spat.

"This is absolute nonsense, those people spreading rumors don’t even need to verify?"

"Listen to what you’re saying, why verify rumors?" Fang Changle laughed, "Besides, the source is a Pure Yang Family."

"Authenticity guaranteed!"

"Damn it!" Zhang Fan muttered through clenched teeth.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but regret; in the past, he was too polite to the Wang family.

At this moment, Zhang Fan really wanted to use his newly forged [Black Gold Ancient Seal] to smash on the Wang family’s skulls.
