Chapter 2001: Chapter 2006: Meeting an Old Friend

"I certainly intend to go, but not just yet. Don’t worry, I won’t die before explaining things to my fellow disciples."

This was Xia Liu’s promise to everyone.

Before fulfilling his promise, he will not die!

"Alright, senior, it was my intrusion."

"Very well, focus on your cultivation, I need to go elsewhere to check for any surprises."

Xia Liu instantly left the Imperial Sky Tower.

He didn’t want Bai Nian to worry too much about him.

His next task was Core Formation.

He must not be distracted.

Upon returning to the palace, Xia Liu saw Li Yun and Qingqing present.

"Senior."

"Glad to see you. I was really worried you’d rashly charge into Baichuan Realm."

Thinking about it gave Li Yun a headache.

There was no choice; she was stuck with Xia Liu.

Her old bones could perish, but Xia Liu, Qingqing, and the younger generation were the future hope.

No accidents could be allowed.

"Senior, you’re overly worried. My intelligence might not be at the top, but it’s certainly not at the bottom either."

"Hehe, perhaps I’m being sensitive; with your wisdom, I might describe it as monstrous."

"Giggle, monster, monster, intelligence must be monstrous too."

Qingqing affirmed.

"Haha, junior takes that as a compliment from senior."

"Of course!"

Now, Xia Liu finally smiled.

Though tough, Li Yun and Qingqing were comforted.

They knew he had adjusted his emotions well.

"What are your plans next?"

"I plan to visit the Fan Family, then focus on my cultivation. Once I reach the Nascent Soul Stage, I’ll go to Baichuan Realm to demand justice from my fellow disciples."

"Good! With such thoughts, the old woman’s mind is at ease."

Li Yun almost clapped.

Xia Liu had indeed recovered his former self.

"Senior, let’s go together."

Xia Liu proposed proactively.

"Alright!"

Three days later, Xia Liu reached the Fan Family.

On the way, he inspected many things.

Li Yun also helped, though they didn’t find any more casualties.

This time, Sha Tongtian and others precisely descended upon the Imperial Sky Gate for slaughter.

At the moment of stepping into Fan City, Xia Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Fan Family was safe.

Cloaked in a black robe, no one recognized Xia Liu.

Xia Liu straightforwardly went to Fan Mansion.

As three figures arrived at Fan Mansion, it caused a commotion.

Foundation Establishment Cultivator Fan Dexing instantly portrayed himself.

His friend Ye Shengtian was right behind.

"I wonder what brings the three seniors to the Fan Family?"

Due to the infamous Imperial Sky Gate massacre, the Fan Family, even the entire Dongliu County’s cultivators, trembled with fear.

When the massacre began at the Imperial Sky Gate, a Nascent Soul Great Power sent a message forbidding anyone from approaching the gate half a step.

Or face the extermination of their clan!

Facing the overwhelming pressure of the Nascent Soul strength.

No one dared make a move, let alone approach the hundred miles around the gate.

What made Fan Dexing tremble was his inability to discern the cultivation level of the three sudden arrivals.

He was certain their cultivation surpassed his own.

"Old Master Fan, long time no see, your cultivation has deepened since last time."

As Xia Liu lifted the black robe, Fan Dexing and Ye Shengtian gasped: "Xia Liu!"

"Yes, it’s I, Xia."

"Young Friend Xia! It’s so good to see you! Half a month ago, upon hearing of the massacre at the Imperial Sky Gate, I thought you were among them..."

Fan Dexing stepped forward to tightly clasp Xia Liu’s hand, almost shedding tears.

Xia Liu had given him immense gratitude and even provided his granddaughter Fan Xin the chance to enter the Imperial Sky Gate.

With gratitude and acknowledgment, how could Fan Dexing not worry?

"We’ll discuss this later. I wish to know, is Little Sister Fan Xin at home?"

Xia Liu hurriedly came to the Fan Family.

First, to confirm the safety of the Fan Family.

Second, to ensure Fan Xin’s safety.

"Here she is!"

"Shengtian, have someone bring Xin over."

"Grandpa! No need, I’m already here."

At this moment, Fan Xin was already tear-stricken.

The Imperial Sky Gate massacre had left her sleepless for days.

Upon seeing Xia Liu again, her emotions were uncontrollable.

"Brother Xia Liu, the senior disciples all..."

Fan Xin swiftly rushed into Xia Liu’s embrace, tears sliding down her cheeks.

"I know everything, don’t be too sad. It’s already over now."

Xia Liu managed to comfort her, albeit with little confidence.

Because he knew all these disasters stemmed from him.

After a while of crying, Fan Xin grasped the situation.

She led Xia Liu, Li Yun, and Qingqing into the hall.

An hour later, all the high-ranking members of the Fan Family gathered in the hall.

To hear what Xia Liu might instruct.

"Let me introduce, this is Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse from Baichuan Realm, Senior Li Yun."

"This is Qingqing, also possessing impressive cultivation, capable of exerting effort to match Golden Pill Late Stage."

When Xia Liu introduced Li Yun and Qingqing, the hall fell silent.

Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse!

For the first time, those present were in such close proximity!

Moreover, making them awkwardly aware was Qingqing’s youthful appearance; yet, she was an intimidating figure matching Golden Pill Late Stage cultivators!

Heavens!

"Greetings, two seniors!"

"Old Master, I dare not accept the title of senior. I still have much to learn from you."

Qingqing politely responded.

"You’re friends of Young Friend Xia, thus friends of mine, Li Yun’s, no need to be too formal."

On hearing Li Yun say so.

Everyone in the Fan Family gave Xia Liu a thumbs-up inwardly.

In just a few years.

He could already engage with Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses.

And establish significant relations!

Truly terrifying!

Indeed, they hadn’t misjudged him back then!

"You must be wondering how the massacre at the Imperial Sky Gate happened."

"Hm? Brother Xia Liu, do you know the details?"

Fan Xin asked with curiosity.

"I do; this disaster I brought..."

In the shock of everyone, Xia Liu detailed his enmity with Sha Tongtian and others in Baichuan Realm.

"Truly despicable! Those with Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, yet behaving like beasts!"

Fan Dexing was the first to express his outrage.

The Imperial Sky Gate massacre was not Xia Liu’s fault.

The fault lay in the opponent’s powerful divine skills and brutal means.

They lacked any humanity!

"Brother Xia Liu! You mustn’t be impulsive; they are all Nascent Soul Stage strong, you..."

Fan Xin didn’t complete her sentence.

This could be Xia Liu’s sore spot.

He was merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Facing such a situation, he was powerless.

It might severely affect him.

"Xin, I know what you want to say. As you say, my cultivation is currently lacking, it’s not the right time to claim justice."

"It may sound rough but isn’t wrong. May I ask, Young Friend, what is your current cultivation level?"

Fan Dexing harbored a super bold idea.

To dedicate all the Fan Family’s resources, all properties to forge Xia Liu.

Using every capability to elevate his strength to a new level.

Even if the Fan Family declines to the lowest level, they must assist.
