Chapter 58: Leaping Off the Cliff

  Yang Fang stood calmly in front of the two men, a dazzling and enchanting smile hanging on his face.

  However, in the eyes of two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, it was like a dream, and their bodies involuntarily trembled with fear.

  "You... you're really a Qi Refining stage cultivator?"

  One of the guards in green uniform stared at Yang Fan, his face unwilling, and trembled with anger.

  He tried to climb up from the ground, but with a "thud", he fell back down.

  Two green-robed imperial guards no longer had even a thread of strength or magical power; even an ordinary person could have slaughtered them.

  "Qigong beginner?" Yang Fan slightly shook his head: "I am no longer one."

  In just one or two days, he has advanced from the initial stage of Qi Refining to the intermediate stage.

  "Spare my life! Spare my life!"

  Two men lay on the ground, their eyes revealing a desperate look, and began to surrender to Yang Fan.

  They finally realized that the man in front of them was definitely a high-ranking cultivator who had been hiding his true abilities, with such dense and powerful spiritual energy and a long and steady breath, at least a strong practitioner above the Condensing Spirit stage.

  In an instant, the faces of these two people revealed complex emotions such as regret, despair, and helplessness.

  Yang Fan's face revealed a strange expression, he didn't think that his own cultivation base, which was only at the initial stage of refining Qi, would cause such a big reaction from these two people. The gaze they directed towards him was filled with reverence.

  "Elder brother, spare our lives! We won't dare again..."

  "Sorry, no matter what happens today, you will not be leaving alive."

  Yang Fan crouched down and took off the two people's storage bags in an orderly manner, lightly tapping on the spoils of war.

  "Two poor devils, with only thirty or forty spirit stones."

  Yang Fan put away the spoils of war, a look of disappointment on his face, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

  Apart from these twenty or so spirit stones, there were also a few pieces of magical equipment, a small amount of spiritual pills, and some insignificant miscellaneous items.

  However, for a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, this amount of capital is actually quite normal.

  "What is this thing?"

  Yang Fan looked at the colorful jade token in his hand and asked.

  He had never seen such a rune artifact before, perhaps it was some high-end toy.

  "Hmph, if you want to kill us, then kill us! You'll never get any information out of our mouths!"

  Two imperial guards in green robes showed a hint of unusual color on their faces.

  "Heh heh, you guys didn't say anything, thinking I wouldn't be able to find out?"

  Yang Fan smiled faintly and lightly touched the texture of the colored jade symbol, feeling the extremely intricate array and spiritual energy fluctuations on it.

  "Alright, if you two are of no other value, I'll send you both to the Yellow Springs immediately."

  Yang Fan stretched out one hand and condensed a ball of flames, crackling with energy, as a wave of heat dissipated away.

  "Wait! Upperclassman!"

  One of the guards in green uniform looked shocked and hastily called out.

  "Hehe, you say."

  Yang Fan said calmly, at the same time, his senses controlled the space within a radius of 200 feet, and if there was any unusual movement, he could react immediately.

  "This jade token is called 'Divine Message Token', a kind of large-scale communication tool."

  The green-clad guard replied.

  "Oh? Divine Sign?"

  Yang Fan had heard of this prop before, it was rarely used and very valuable.

  This symbol is generally used for rescue and has a wide range of uses in some major battles of Xianmen.

  "Senior, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask me."

  The young imperial guard replied obediently.

  Yang Fan's eyes showed a hint of unusual color, and he became even more vigilant in his heart, but he indeed had questions to ask the two.

  "How did your young master get acquainted with Yun Xianzi?"

  Yang Fan asked.

  "It's like this..." The green-clad guard said slowly, "I don't know if Senior has heard of the 'Kyoto Lin Family'? This immortal cultivation family has a tacit understanding with our Yang Family..."

  "Kyoto Lin family, of course I know, isn't it one of the four major Xian families in Youyang country? Stop beating around the bush and get to the point."

  Yang Fan urged, holding the Divine Message Token in his hand, entering the Omniscient Mode, but there was a faint sense of unease in his heart.

  "This 'Kyoto Lin Family' in the secular world, mainly does medicinal material business, often can gather some rare medicinal materials and treasures. For hundreds of years, it has had a complex relationship with the mysterious hidden world sect 'Yao Xian Gu'. The contemporary Lin family's daughter, Lin Yu, is even a registered disciple of 'Yao Xian Gu', and has been close to Yun Xianzi since childhood. The two major families have a tacit understanding, and Yang family's young master and Lin family's daughter are also acquainted. Through this relationship, our family's young master became acquainted with Yun Xianzi..."

  The guard in the green robe spoke very detailed, and after finishing, he asked again: "Sir, do you have any other questions about my young master, as well as the Yang and Lin families of Kyoto? We will answer everything."

  Yang Fan's eyes stared at him intensely, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

  It's obvious that these two are trying to stall for time.

  However, delaying for a little while longer would be of no use. The three of them ran out of the "Xiū Yù Gé" several hundred miles away, who could save them?

  Even if someone knew they were in distress, how could their location be determined?

  Yang Fan's heart was as calm as water, with rapid thoughts racing through his mind, while also observing the expressions of these two people.

  Finally, in "omniscient mode", he finally captured that subtle fluctuation from the "Divine Sign" in his hand.

  If it wasn't for his concentrated and thorough sensing, Yang Fan wouldn't have noticed this subtle change even in "omniscient mode".

  "Hehe......" Yang Fan cast his gaze at the Divine Message Token in his hand, and the smile on his face grew thicker.

  Two men in green robes changed their expressions.

  "This is your last resort? With this token, your young master can pinpoint your location."

  Yang Fan slightly raised the "Divine Message Symbol", causing the two of them to turn pale as if they were dead.

  Yang Fan could guess that Yang Yu's hands should also have a similar "Divine Message Symbol".

  As the young master of the Kyoto Yang family, I must have some protective measures, otherwise, if I encounter a strong enemy, wouldn't I die unjustly?

  Pffft! Pffft!

  Yang Fan took out a short sword with a fish intestine scabbard and directly cut the throats of the two men. The precious sword in the world, not a drop of blood was stained on it, its sharpness was like this.

  Yang Fan then used two fireballs to burn the bodies of the two men.

  Hehe~

  The bodies of the two began to burn and soon spread to their heads.

  However, just as their souls were about to disappear, their corpses suddenly burst open, exploding into a patch of green light.

  A faint, startled whistling sound accompanied a ripple that undulated into the distance.

  "How despicable! There's actually such a move!"

  Yang Fan's expression was grave, he had been careful to the extreme, yet such a move still caught him off guard.

  To eradicate this situation, unless one possesses immense power and authority, they would have to annihilate the corpses and souls of these two individuals in one fell swoop.

  He is currently still a Qi Refining stage cultivator, even if he has some defensive measures, it would be difficult to block this matter.

  "These two are dead, and the message has already been passed on to either Yang's family in Kyoto or Yang Yu... And I have this 'Divine Message Token' in my hand, making me a moving target..."

  Yang Fan regained his composure and quickly thought out a plan...

  "Kyoto Yang family... Since it's come to this, I'll go all out!"

  Yang Fan's eyes suddenly flashed a fierce light, and he crushed the divine message symbol in his hand.

  In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from the divine message symbol, with waves of energy radiating in all directions, stirring up an area of several hundred miles around.

  "This divine symbol is so terrifying!"

  Yang Fan was shocked and jumped away from the scene instantly.

  He soon arrived at the cliff and leaped into the clouds, plunging into the depths of the ten-thousand-foot chasm.

  Isn't he... going to take his own life?
