Ancient Ancestral Gods

After leaving the northwest region, they saw a lush and verdant mountain forest. It was a stretch of green, blue sky and green water; it was very comfortable to look at.    

    

The people from the four academies were familiar with the route. Within ten days, they had left Han Shui City at the northwest border.    

    

And a mile behind them, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yun were currently secretly following them.    

    

If they knew that the two of them were secretly following behind the team, they would definitely be shocked.    

    

Ten kilometers away from Han Shui City, Xiao Fan was invited to return by a person sent by Xiao Yun. He said that he would return with Godly Armored Army in a few days.    

    

And now, the two of them were secretly following the group, just what were they planning to do?    

    

"Big Brother, is your news reliable?" Xiao Fan asked Xiao Yun doubtfully.    

    

At that time, he was already five kilometers away from Han Shui City, but Xiao Yun sent someone to invite him back, telling everyone that Xiao Fan was not going back yet.    

    

After returning, Xiao Yun told Xiao Fan that from the news he received from the City of God, there had to be a group of people who would assassinate him on their way back to the Four Great Academies.    

    

Except, they had left the northwest capital for quite a few days. Seeing that they were only two days away from the capital, not a single trace of the people who had attempted to assassinate him could be found.    

    

They quietly followed behind because they wanted to know who exactly was the person that tried to assassinate Xiao Fan.    

    

"Don't worry, the news is absolutely reliable. They haven't appeared yet, maybe they haven't reached the place they want to attack yet." Xiao Yun said with an affirmative tone.    

    

Xiao Yun's words were not unreasonable, as the commander of the Godly Armored Army, the information he obtained should not be wrong, maybe the opportunity for those people to make their move was not right.    

    

As for being found out by the killers, Xiao Fan was not in the team, so there was no need to worry.    

    

Xiao Fan had first left with the rest, and then he was quietly called back to Han Shui City. The spy from the assassination group would definitely not know about this.    

    

Furthermore, a strong Ranker like Xiao Yun had extremely strong perception.    

    

They had been following Bai Qing and the others the entire time, and the distance between them was only one kilometer. If there was any movement in the surroundings, Xiao Yun would be able to detect it.    

    

The two of them quietly followed the crowd for another day. They were only one day away from the Divine Capital, but the killers did not appear.    

    

However, one thing that was out of the ordinary was that in areas that were close to the capital, there were bandits causing trouble. Home raids were rampant, and the local security was quite poor.    

    

Who in the world would be so bold as to do such a thing?    

    

Moreover, this bandit was only present in the last half month. The government officials in this area were weak and could not deal with the bandit groups for a short period of time.    

    

Faced with this situation, the people from the four academies decided to stay and help the local officials, manage the public security, and confront the bandits. They would only come back to their senses when the imperial government's reinforcements arrived.    

    

Because of this, Xiao Fan and the Xiao Yun brothers secretly investigated the surrounding area for a day or two. They found out the general situation of this group of bandits and also discovered the home of this group of bandits.    

    

Furthermore, the two of them came to the conclusion that this group of bandits might be a trap, and this group of bandits might very well be the group who wanted to assassinate Xiao Fan.    

    

This group of bandits had appeared at a very special time, half a month ago. At that time, Xiao Fan and the others had left the northwest region.    

    

If they pretended to be bandits and killed Xiao Fan, they could only blame it on being robbed and killed. It very well covered up the fact that this was a murder that no one could track down.    

    

The forest at night was completely silent. Fifty miles away from the town, in a valley with three sides of precipices, a group of bandits were stationed.    

    

In the dark of the night, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yun sneaked into the mountain stronghold, wanting to seriously investigate the background of this group of bandits.    

    

Inside the village, the lamps were brightly lit. In the main camp's hall sat three people, two men and one woman.    

    

The two men looked to be about 26 or 27 years old. One of them had a shifty appearance and looked very much like a bandit.    

    

It was a gentle and quiet one, giving off a very delicate feeling.    

    

As for the other woman, she was Xiao Fan's girlfriend, Xiao Yueqian.    

    

"It's her!" On the rooftop, Xiao Fan saw Xiao Yueqian's figure through the cracks.    

    

Since Xiao Yueqian was here, then this group of bandits had really appeared to cover up the truth.    

    

At the same time, Xiao Fan understood that Xiao Yueqian's hidden forces had also begun to attack him.    

    

"Xiao Yueqian, last time, you and your father let their Xiao Family go, but now, you still dared to participate in the assassination. Xiao Yun said to Xiao Fan in a low voice.    

    

"It's a pity, I originally thought that she would wake up, but I didn't expect that she hadn't changed at all." Xiao Fan said with a sigh.    

    

"Another person has come. Let's hear what they want to do first." Xiao Yun said.    

    

Not long after, another person appeared in the main camp's hall. This person was wearing a long black robe and a bamboo hat. His face was covered as if he didn't want others to know his identity.    

    

When this person arrived, the three people in the hall immediately stood up and were very respectful.    

    

"I believe all of you know that the person the Tenth Prince sent to assassinate Xiao Fan failed and only one person managed to escape. The people from the four great academies are currently in a town fifty kilometers away." The man in black spoke in a deep voice to the gentle man, "Cai Yuan, are you confident about this mission?"    

    

"Master, don't worry, Lin Dong Lai and Xiao Yueqian and I have complete confidence in killing Xiao Fan." Cai Yuan said confidently.    

    

"Yes, Cai Yuan just broke through and reached the third grade of the Fated Star Realm. Lin Donglai and Xiao Yueqian are also at the peak of the second stage of the Fated Star Realm. The black-robed man said somewhat worriedly, "Just don't forget that Xiao Fan had already broken through half a month ago and reached the first stage of the Fated Star Realm."    

    

When Xiao Fan was still a third stage Astral Soul, he was already very abnormal.    

    

According to the information they had, Xiao Fan had killed eight members of the Sun and Moon Academy's allied forces. Those people were all peak Astral Souls.    

    

It would not be an exaggeration for Xiao Fan, who was at the peak of the Astral Soul level, to be able to fight against a first stage Life Star Cultivator.    

    

Now that Xiao Fan had broken through to the first stage of the Fated Star Realm, his strength would definitely increase by leaps and bounds. No one knew just how much he had reached, but this was a potential variable, and was what the black-robed man was worried about.    

    

"Don't worry, Master, no matter how abnormal Xiao Fan is, he wouldn't be able to kill all three of us at the same time. Besides, Brother Cai has already broken through to the third grade of the Fated Star Realm, which is something Xiao Fan can't compare with. Lin Donglai said with a confident and arrogant tone.    

    

Yue Qian's brother is also one of the people from the Four Great Academies. We can let Yue Qian pretend to go and help and lure Xiao Fan to a dangerous place so that he can execute Xiao Fan without anyone knowing about it and not let his brothers know about it. Cai Yuan said.    

    

"Yueqian, do you think this plan will work?" The black gowned man looked at Xiao Yueqian and said.    

    

"Master, Yue Qian will definitely cooperate with Big Brother Cai and eliminate Xiao Fan in one fell swoop." Xiao Yueqian's tone was cold and her expression was cold, just like an ice-cold killer.    

    

"Very good! I'll be waiting for your good news! " The black robed man said in satisfaction.    

    

After giving some instructions, he left the main hall and prepared to leave the mountain stronghold.
