Chapter 867 - 817: So It Was You! (1)

"Master Hua, it seems your Taoist elder has no desire to see you, huh!"

They were still several kilometers away from the tavern.

Qin Fan stopped his flickering pace, paused his steps and spoke leisurely.

"Master Qin, what-what’s happened to him?"

Hua Xiaotian followed behind Qin Fan with a vacant gaze, asked absent-mindedly.

At this point, he seemed to have become numb.

"He fled!" Qin Fan exclaimed, his speed once again surged.

Regardless of the bustling surroundings.

With a speed invisible to the naked eye, his figure crazily sped away.

Outside the tavern.

The middle-aged man hadn’t had a chance to recover from the Taoist elder’s instant disappearance.

Then, two more black dots flashed past in front of him.

At that moment, he was almost frightened into collapse.

He was certain that they were not human!

How could humans possibly have such speed?

Thinking this, he trembled with excitement, looking towards the disappearing black dots in succession.

"This, this, just what the hell are these gods or monsters!"

The bull-nosed Taoist fleeing fearfully from the tavern, after traversing tens of kilometers, suddenly came to a halt.

Apart from Hua Xiaotian’s aura, he sensed a playful aura closely following behind him.

No matter how fast he moved, the other party seemed to maintain a controlled distance, this - was obviously a cat-and-mouse chase!

And he, was playing the role of the mouse, destined to be caught regardless of how he fled.

"Running, why aren’t you running anymore?"

Seeing the old Taoist halt his escape, Qin Fan’s playful voice sounded.

Swoosh-!

Facing Qin Fan’s voice.

The old Taoist abruptly turned around.

However, upon seeing Qin Fan’s face with a disdainful, amused grin.

He was taken aback, "It’s you after all!"

"What? Surprised?"

Glancing around the construction site that halted due to approaching year-end, Qin Fan said with a smile.

"Surprised, surprised that you would intervene for the Martial Arts World, surprised that you would serve the Forbidden City!"

The old Taoist took a deep breath to calm his mind and said.

"Old Wang said, he could leave you a complete corpse! The drunk in the east, the monk in the north, the idle in the west, have already gone ahead!" Regarding this response, Qin Fan gave no definite answer, looking at the Taoist who suddenly appeared calm and indifferent, Qin Fan said slowly.

"It’s also good, this is the best outcome for them, after all, they can be relieved!" said the Taoist.

After the words fell.

He looked at Qin Fan’s back.

Finally, the panting Hua Xiaotian arrived belatedly.

One at the middle stage of the God Realm.

One, a monster capable of instantly killing the middle stage of the God Realm.

In such a chase of speed, it was evident that he, merely at the Gang Realm, could not easily catch up.

"Old Bull, why?"

Without waiting for the bull-nosed Taoist to speak.

Gasping for breath, Hua Xiaotian asked numbly.

At this moment, his eyes had lost any emotional color.

The bull-nosed Taoist’s life or death had been decided upon Qin Fan’s appearance.

He now just wanted an answer, one that he could accept.

"Qin Fan, the Child of the Heavenly Dao is very dangerous, and his insidiousness is beyond your imagination! You must be increasingly careful! I wish you luck! Since my three brothers have reached the netherworld waiting for me, it is futile for me to struggle further. If you can kill them, you can certainly kill me without much difficulty! So I won’t bother you with the trouble!"

Without answering Hua Xiaotian’s question.

Looking directly at Qin Fan’s handsome face, as if speaking his last words, the Taoist said.

Finished speaking, his fists were already poised, suddenly clenched.

A biting of teeth!

His body trembled violently at this moment!

Immediately after.

A mouthful of essence blood spewed forth violently.

His face turned pale and paper-like in an instant.

The body heavily fell forward.

"Old Bull!!!"

Unexpectedly, the bull-nosed Taoist ended his life in such a manner.

Hua Xiaotian frantically rushed towards him.

"Child, don’t cry! Don’t hate your master, and don’t hate us, because everyone is helpless! Old Bull is done for, live well! If you can, go to another country and live a hidden life! The whirlpool of Huaxia is very deep, so deep that once you step into it, you can never come out! Cough-cough - take care of yourself!"

Laying his head in Hua Xiaotian’s embrace, the old Taoist muttered with blood bubbling from his mouth intermittently.

Yet, upon his colorless and terrifying face, a smile overflowed.

As these words finished, his head directly drooped into Hua Xiaotian’s embrace.

A middle-stage God Realm.

In the end, he bid farewell to life by suicide.

Once one of the four Heavenly Kings of the Guardian Institute.

Now reunited in the Netherworld!

Holding the lifeless bull-nosed Taoist.

Hua Xiaotian did not cry.

Silently standing up, he hugged the old Taoist and walked towards the distant barren land for burial.

When he returned to Qin Fan’s side again.

His eyes were completely filled with mist.

"Master Qin, why do they all say not to resent my master, why? What did my master do, what role did he play? Why!"

Speaking of which, Hua Xiaotian could not withstand another soul collapse.

He cradled his head in his hands and squatted down, bursting into heart-rending tears.

This man in his forties, this righteous teacher of the Gang Realm.

Witnessed the successive passing of his closest kin, he completely scattered all his will.

But he knows, this is only the beginning.

The real torment still lies ahead.

Still in Chuanshu.

It is for the one who gave him life, gave him everything.

For the one whose reputation once intimidated countless formidable foes, the Demi Immortal!

The deaths of the four Guardian Heavenly Kings, even without knowing the answer, have already shattered his heart.

Imagine, once facing his master Qi Lian, the Demi Immortal, once facing the final answer, what could happen to him?

Hua Xiaotian dared not imagine such calamitous torment!

"Clearly, the reason they ended up here, your master is the mastermind behind it! The answers you want, the reasons you want, unquestionably are no longer necessary! Now, you can go back! This is the best outcome for you, to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to avoid it! There’s no need to burden yourself with such meaningless torments, you know, things have come to this, you cannot change anything!"

Looking down at Hua Xiaotian who cradled his head and sobbed.

Qin Fan slowly shook his head as he spoke softly.

To be honest.

For Hua Xiaotian, he truly felt sympathetic at this moment.

After all, witnessing all of this, the blow and torment he could imagine.

If it were him instead of Hua Xiaotian, he dared say he could not endure it.

That Hua Xiaotian managed until now, he could already be considered a person of strong will.

The words concluded.

Hua Xiaotian did not respond.

Still cradled his head, fiercely hitting the ground.

Even though his face was already covered in blood, he seemed completely unaware.

Without saying more.

Turning around.

Qin Fan strode away, his back towards Hua Xiaotian.

Whether to choose impulsively to face or rationally to avoid.

It was all Hua Xiaotian’s choice.

He could only offer his opinion and advice, whatever Hua Xiaotian chose, he would understand!

"Master Qin, I want to continue further! I want to hear my master’s answer personally!"

As Qin Fan’s figure drifted away swiftly.

Suddenly, Hua Xiaotian got up from the ground, looking at the thin back, he roared hoarsely.

"Alright, suit yourself!"

With a slight nod.

Qin Fan slowed his pace.
