Chapter 856 - 806: Maybe, That’s All Artificial?

"Ru Yi, you head down the mountain first!"

As Qin Fan’s words fell.

The Six Paths suddenly grew heavy without warning.

Soon he turned his head toward Ru Yi.

"Yes, master!"

A bit surprised.

But Ru Yi dared not ask anything further.

With a quick response, the ghostly figure swiftly dashed down the mountain.

"What? Do you have something to tell me?"

Six Paths’ thoughts couldn’t escape Qin Fan.

After sensing Ru Yi’s presence had reached the foot of the mountain.

In the sudden silence, Qin Fan spoke ahead of the Six Paths.

"Qin little friend, if... I mean if, if there’s truly a Heavenly Son born on this Earth, perhaps- he will be our chance to return to Cangqiong Continent!"

Gazing into Qin Fan’s eyes, the Six Paths lost his smile and spoke firmly.

"What do you mean? Maybe he’s like us?" Qin Fan said playfully, pursing his lips.

"Impossible! If he were from the same place as us, he would have appeared to find you! Earth is not suitable for Cultivators to survive! No one would give up the pursuit of Ascension to remain in this mundane corner, living totally against their Dao Heart’s desire! So I dare to assert there is absolutely no chance he’s from the same place as us!" Six Paths shook his head firmly.

"Well, that makes some sense!"

Pausing, Qin Fan continued, "But you say it’s the chance to return to Cangqiong Continent, where does that idea come from?"

"In the unseen, only destiny! Fate is always difficult to escape the predetermined track of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation. Do you believe we will always stay in this place that doesn’t belong to us? I don’t believe this crossing from Cangqiong Continent to here was a coincidence. Because it’s impossible for such a coincidence to happen solely to me, many things are destined! Destined to lead oneself into a situation, then seek the way to unravel it! It’s been five hundred years, I’ve lived numbly as a walking corpse, and I believe the trajectory of fate’s gears should return to their track; Heavenly Son, Heavenly Son, if he truly is the Heavenly Son, then he might very well be our chance to return!"

Six Paths knew his reasoning was somewhat far-fetched, but he couldn’t help saying these purely speculative words.

But this too could be understood.

Having not found any clues to return for so long, now a being crowned the Heavenly Son appears, it was inevitable he would ponder over it.

"If the so-called Heavenly Son is inextricably linked to the Heavenly Dao Institute, then you should know, I absolutely won’t spare him! Even if it means going against the heavens, I must eliminate the earthly threat!"

Facing Six Paths’ gaze, Qin Fan’s eyes showed a firm resolve.

"Rest assured, even if this situation is true, I won’t obstruct you! After all, I believe in fate!" Hesitant, the Six Paths slowly shook his head and said.

"Hahaha, a Cultivator tells me he believes in fate? Among the Ascended ones, who believes in fate? Crossing Tribulation is inherently a defiance against heaven, yet you tell me you believe in fate? Were you worn down on Earth and lost your Dao Heart?" Qin Fan laughed with disdain.

"No, I never believed before! Now, I have no choice but to believe because these five hundred years are the best portrayal!" Six Paths sighed, self-mockingly.

At this voice.

Qin Fan didn’t respond immediately.

But fell into a struggle of thoughts.

For a moment.

He exhaled with a surge of mischievousness.

And spoke an eerie line.

"Perhaps, it was man-made!"

After speaking.

He calmly turned around.

And took steps down the mountain path all by himself.

However, behind him.

The Six Paths stood there, as if struck by lightning at those eerie words!

The whole body uncontrollably started a faint trembling.

Complexion suddenly turned pale.

Lips quivering.

"Impossible, how could this be!"

A heart that had been calm for hundreds of years.

Suddenly burst into turbulent waves at Qin Fan’s words!

Perhaps, from this moment, Six Paths can never return to the way he was!

...

Hubei.

Shennongjia.

Outside the scenic area.

Two young men stood at the entrance with tickets in hand.

Li Tiandao still hadn’t changed out of his eye-catching white clothes and shoes.

It seemed he had only this one outfit to wear.

Only his white hair was covered by a baseball cap.

"Master, why did we come to this place? Surely you didn’t bring me here for sightseeing?"

Looking at the ticket in hand, Xiao Er commented with a mix of laughter and tears.

They had traveled a great distance.

He initially thought the master was planning something big.

Unexpectedly, they came to the scenic area to buy two tickets?

Damn!

That doesn’t make sense!

"Deep inside, there exists an unknown race called the Training Spirit Clan!"

Without rushing in, gazing at the crowd inside, Li Tiandao said calmly.

"An unknown race? Training Spirit Clan?" Xiao Er widened his eyes, not understanding these claims.

But Li Tiandao didn’t pay him any attention.

Continued speaking to himself, "Half a year ago, a tribulation appeared here! At that time, it coincided with Qin Fan’s disappearance; later, I found out Qin Fan, Zhuge, and a woman named Li Wenxuan came here before the tribulation, a day later, Zhuge appeared in Jiangzhou and Li Wenxuan in Macau. Only Qin Fan remained missing! Only after the tribulation did he appear before the public again!"

"Master, are you saying Qin Fan is likely connected to the tribulation and that Training Spirit Clan inside?" Xiao Er lowered his voice and exclaimed.

"Not likely, absolutely! Therefore, I plan to visit the legendary Training Spirit Clan! If Qin Fan’s happiness is built on the Training Spirit Clan’s pain, hehe- that would be interesting!" Li Tiandao said slightly sinisterly.

"What if they’re friends, not foes?" Xiao Er reflexively responded.

"Then send them to the Yama Hall!" Li Tiandao said arrogantly.

Xiao Er wasn’t surprised by this answer.

He nodded understandingly.

Immediately asked the question that emerged in his mind, "By the way, Master, I’m a bit puzzled, isn’t our priority to reveal and deal with the forces behind the Heavenly Dao Institute? Is it really appropriate to confront Qin Fan now?"

"Not appropriate, but there’s no choice! Ever since testing Qin Fan at the Great Wall, I’ve suddenly lost complete confidence! Perhaps we’ve already missed the best timing, so we can’t wait any longer, besides there’s another issue, the turmoil in the Martial Arts World will surely cause unrest in the Forbidden City, you understand the significance of the Martial Arts World, they’ll definitely be more chaotic than those Martial Artists. I can’t accurately grasp Qin Fan’s current relationship with the Forbidden City, if he truly doesn’t hold grudges or acts transactionally to quell the chaos, do you think those few old men can withstand it? By then, without having pulled out the forces behind the Heavenly Dao Institute’s destruction, they’d have already been dealt with by Qin Fan.

So currently, I need someone to distract him, the Training Spirit Clan, Bai Clan, Gu Clan, Medicine Valley, these are my targeted plans! If they have animosity with Qin Fan, I will find ways to bring them into the human world! If they have no animosity with Qin Fan, that’s fine too, then let them quietly wait for reunion with Qin Fan in the Netherworld!"

The voice filled with a sinister smile had waves of cold intent.

After speaking.

Li Tiandao, tickets in hand, swapped to a completely harmless smile.

Stepped toward the ticket-checking entrance!
