"You are Chen Tianjiao, aren't you?" the Heavenly Dao Master said coldly.
"No, Chen Tianjiao has already left."
However, after the Heavenly Dao Master finished speaking, the man shook his head and said.
After saying this, the man turned towards the Heavenly Dao Master and others and added,
"My name is Ji Liu Zi, from the Kunlun Secret Realm."
That's right!
This person was Ji Liu Zi, who had come to the Southern Ocean with Chen Fan!
Upon seeing Ji Liu Zi's appearance, the Heavenly Dao Master's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock as he looked at Ji Liu Zi's face!
"You... you are!"
Seeing the astonished Heavenly Dao Master before him, Ji Liu Zi smiled heartily, raised his hand to greet the Heavenly Dao Master, and said with a chuckle,
"Junior Brother Sanren, it's been so many years, I hope you are well."
As Ji Liu Zi spoke, his expression was as if he had met an old friend he hadn't seen in years.
That's right, the Heavenly Dao Master was the legendary Sanren!
Of course, Chen Fan already knew this answer before coming to the Southern Ocean!
Everything Chen Fan had done was not for this answer.
What Chen Fan wanted was the Dragon Pattern Compass shard.
He had already learned that Sanren possessed a Dragon Pattern Compass shard.
And once Chen Fan obtained this Dragon Pattern Compass shard, there would only be one shard left in the world that was not in his possession!
Since arriving in the Southern Ocean, Ji Liu Zi, who had been hiding his whereabouts, had actually been using his profound cultivation to help Chen Fan locate the Dragon Pattern Compass shards.
And now, after days of their combined planning, they had each fulfilled their roles.
Ji Liu Zi was here to draw the attention of the Heavenly Dao organization's experts.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan had already employed the stratagem of "the civet cat for the prince," playing a clever diversion!
He was now moving unhindered through the headquarters of the Heavenly Dao organization, which was guarded by nothing but a bunch of weaklings!
But how could Chen Fan have reached the hidden headquarters of the Heavenly Dao Sect?
In fact, not long after the person who feigned death made his move, Chen Fan had quietly followed him.
The true purpose of the person feigning death was precisely to lead the way.
Otherwise, with Chen Fan's strength, how could he have allowed himself to be in that feigned state earlier?
Now, everything was under control.
Chen Fan was determined to obtain this eighth Dragon Pattern Compass shard from Sanren!
At this moment, Chen Fan was moving unhindered through the Heavenly Dao organization's base, which was devoid of any experts.
Soon, he found the Dragon Pattern Compass shard in a secret chamber.
After absorbing the power from the Dragon Pattern Compass shard into his body, Chen Fan then put away the shard and left the Heavenly Dao organization's stronghold.
Then, with quick steps, he retraced his path, intending to meet Ji Liu Zi.
When Chen Fan returned to the entrance of Tianfu Yajun, the peace-loving Ji Liu Zi was already fighting the Heavenly Dao Master Sanren single-handedly.
It was at this very moment that Chen Fan truly witnessed Ji Liu Zi's strength!
At this point, Ji Liu Zi was not only fighting Sanren alone but also fighting against the more than a hundred Heavenly Dao experts under Sanren's command!
These hundred-plus experts were not the spineless individuals Chen Fan had dealt with earlier; they were the core combat power of the Heavenly Dao organization!
Yet, at this very moment, Ji Liu Zi, solely on the defensive, was already able to hold his own against these hundred-plus individuals!
If he were to go on the offensive, what terrifying combat power would he unleash?
Chen Fan, who had just returned, had a fairly accurate judgment of Ji Liu Zi's true strength.
That is, Ji Liu Zi's strength was absolutely no weaker than his own when he unleashed his chaotic power!
"Little friend Chen, you're finally back!" As soon as Chen Fan arrived, Ji Liu Zi, who was fighting like a soaring dragon, discovered Chen Fan's presence at the first possible moment and greeted him calmly.
"Come quickly and help, there are so many people, I can't handle them all by myself."
Looking at Ji Liu Zi's smiling and composed demeanor, Chen Fan drew the Tian Cong Yun Sword and replied, "Coming right up!"
Then, Chen Fan charged into the fray, sword in hand, eager to test how much his strength had increased after absorbing the power of the eighth Dragon Pattern Compass shard!
Chen Fan brandished his sword, unleashing the newly harmonized chaotic power within him!
At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to change color!
The more than a hundred core combatants of the Heavenly Dao on the field all felt an immense pressure, their breathing becoming labored. One by one, they stopped fighting, clutching their chests where a sudden, sharp pain had erupted!
And the Heavenly Dao Master Sanren's expression was also not relaxed.
He too stopped his movements, circulating the vital energy within his body to forcibly resist the immense pressure emanating from Chen Fan!
That's right!
The reason why so many martial arts grandmasters looked grim, feeling threatened and fearful, was not because Chen Fan's moves were too powerful.
It was simply because Chen Fan had unleashed his aura before making his move!
At this moment, the only person present who could maintain a calm demeanor was Ji Liu Zi!
"This power... is excellent!" Chen Fan felt an incomparable sense of exhilaration as he sensed the abundant power within him!
With a loud roar, he raised the Tian Cong Yun Sword high and slashed horizontally towards Sanren not far away!
Instantly, a vast sword energy erupted from thin air, locking onto Sanren!
Then, this sword energy, carrying the power to crush everything in its path, sped directly towards Sanren!
Sanren's expression turned extremely grim.
Because, this was only the second time in his life that he had witnessed such powerful might!
The first time he had witnessed such power was when he had first entered the Kunlun Secret Realm, and saw the legendary Kunlun Heavenly Master of that realm, as he was guiding the cultivation of the three great Dao Masters of that era, inadvertently unleash such power!
However, according to legend, that supreme Kunlun Heavenly Master had cultivated for over a thousand years to possess such immense power!
Yet, this young Chen Fan before him, why did he possess such formidable strength?
Could it be that he had gathered all nine Dragon Pattern Compass shards and obtained the Dragon Power he had been desperately seeking?
Trouble!
He had fallen into a trap!
At this critical juncture of life and death, Sanren's heart suddenly realized that he had been tricked.
This was all a setup, and his Dragon Pattern Compass shard must have already been taken by Chen Fan!
Chen Fan must have gathered all nine Dragon Pattern...
No! That's not right!
