The words didn't need to be said too clearly.
These were enough.
"The Western Heavenly Emperor will come to kill me?" Chen Fan frowned.
"No."
Han Ye, having recovered more than half of his strength, refused to continue cultivating. He got up and said, "Heavenly Emperors are high above and do not concern themselves with mortal affairs. However, other forces will come for you, to summon certain people, or... well, to kill you, to prevent you from summoning certain people."
Chen Fan: "..."
Alright.
He understood.
Some people wanted to use his hand to summon the fallen heroes, while others did not want him to summon those troublesome individuals.
Therefore, many people would come looking for him.
After speaking, Han Ye continued, "Coupled with your identity as a visitor from the wasteland, I believe even more people will seek you out."
"Mm-hmm."
Pang Tong echoed with a nod.
That's right, exactly.
They had heard Chen Fan's conversation with Ni earlier.
In other words, Chen Fan would soon become the most famous person in the Eastern Continent.
Chen Fan didn't mind, and he smiled, "Those are matters for later. For now, the most important thing we need to do is to deliver the baby to the City of Freedom."
"Mm."
Han Ye agreed.
Pang Tong wanted to speak but hesitated, ultimately saying nothing.
"Let's go."
Chen Fan personally led the way.
The Azure Needle airship was destroyed, so they had to rely on their own two feet.
"Whoosh."
The three of them shot into the sky, rapidly flying towards the direction of the City of Freedom.
...
At the same time.
A piece of news spread from the Twelve Palaces, the most mysterious force in the Eastern Continent.
"Chen Fan, the visitor from the wasteland, not only knows the passage to the lower realm but has also comprehended the Great Dao of the Undead and can summon fallen heroes... Furthermore, their target is the City of Freedom."
Upon hearing this, various forces were alerted.
The City of Freedom instantly became the eye of the storm.
Countless people surged towards the direction of the City of Freedom.
"Haha."
In a forbidden zone somewhere in the Eastern Continent, a heavily injured Burrowing Rat roared with laughter, "Chen Fan, you finally showed up, you bastard. If you hadn't, I would have been beaten to death by now. City of Freedom, I'll find you. Damn it, you're the one who got me into this mess."
"Over there..."
Suddenly, shouts of alarm reached Tian Zai's ears.
In an instant, powerful auras rapidly charged towards Tian Zai's location.
Tian Zai cursed and instantly broke through the void.
"Crack."
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, splitting Tian Zai's flesh and skin.
Damn it.
Tian Zai cursed.
This damn forbidden zone was filled with lightning everywhere.
If not for his Burrowing Rat ability, he would have been struck to death by this lightning.
It was only he who could move freely with the Burrowing Rat ability.
Anyone else would have been struck to death by now.
As for those pursuing him, they were the natives of this forbidden zone, and these fellows did not trigger the forbidden zone's lightning at all.
"Run."
The Burrowing Rat sprinted madly.
But this time, he had a target.
...
It wasn't just the Burrowing Rat.
The Imperial Butterfly, the White Bone Forest, Wu Sheng, Old Demon Chu... everyone was in a bad situation.
They were luckier than Chen Fan, appearing in the Immortal Realm immediately after passing through the passage, without experiencing the Land of Exile.
And precisely because they didn't go through the Land of Exile, their origin from the wasteland was directly exposed.
Well, as expected.
They were targeted and hunted by countless people.
The Hall of All Beings.
In front of the hall, a phantom Imperial Butterfly flapped its wings gently.
It was the Imperial Butterfly.
In the Hall of All Beings, powerful figures gathered, their gazes all fixed on the Imperial Butterfly.
"Is the Chen Fan you mentioned him?" the Hall Master of the Hall of All Beings asked the Imperial Butterfly.
The Hall of All Beings was a powerful force comparable to the Endless Fire Domain.
They had secretly captured the Imperial Butterfly long ago and questioned her about the location of the passage.
Unfortunately, the Imperial Butterfly was stubborn and refused to say anything.
Furthermore, the Imperial Butterfly was only a soul, incredibly ephemeral, and they dared not use excessive force for fear of her dissipating on the spot, so they could only imprison her.
And the Imperial Butterfly had revealed a name, Chen Fan.
As long as the people of the Hall of All Beings brought her to Chen Fan, she would tell them the location of the passage.
"That's right."
The Imperial Butterfly's tone was calm, but her heart was already excited.
I knew this fellow wouldn't die so easily.
...
These past few days, the City of Freedom had been very lively.
Although it was usually lively, the current situation was unprecedented.
Even on the day the City of Freedom was founded, it hadn't been this lively.
Countless powerful figures flooded into the City of Freedom, filling it to the brim.
This was even with many forces leaving their people outside the city.
Interception.
Being able to intercept Chen Fan in advance gave them a head start.
Therefore, each faction had people stationed outside the city, waiting to intercept Chen Fan.
...
And at this moment, in a valley a hundred miles away from the City of Freedom.
Three people were lying at the edge of the valley, looking ahead.
"Chen, cough cough... big brother, what should we do next?" asked Pang Tong.
The Full-time Nanny held the baby in her arms.
The baby had woken up but was not crying, playing by itself.
"..."
Chen Fan did not answer immediately.
He had no solution either.
He turned to look at Han Ye.
"Fight our way through." This was Han Ye's solution.
Pang Tong: "..."
Alright.
She had figured out this person's personality.
Other than fighting, he had no other suggestions.
If she could defeat him, Pang Tong would have long ago asked him, "How have you survived all these years?"
Curious.
"Sigh."
There was no hope in relying on Han Ye, so she thought, "Why don't we disguise ourselves?"
There was no choice.
There were too many people chasing them along the way.
Although they had had a premonition, the pursuit by hundreds of enemies along the way had exhausted even the most resilient person.
A moment later...
A figure, carrying a powerful aura, shot into the sky and rapidly flew towards the City of Freedom.
Ahead, a team was stationed, belonging to an unknown faction.
"Boom."
From within the team, a powerful aura surged into the sky.
At the same time, a sharp shout rang out: "Stop."
Pang Tong stopped in his tracks, his face filled with fear. "Quick, I saw Chen Fan. They killed my teammates, and only I escaped. Quick... they ran south."
Pang Tong, alone, had come to scout ahead.
Upon hearing this, more than a dozen figures immediately rushed out from below, surrounding Pang Tong.
Pang Tong's heart trembled.
"Holy crap, so many."
These dozen or so people were all at the Supreme realm.
It was terrifying.
It even scared Pang Tong, the spy, to the point of losing his courage.
"Who are you?"
A young man in brocade robes stepped out, fanning himself with a folding fan. "You, a mere God-level expert, could escape from Supremes?"
The other party was skeptical of Pang Tong's identity.
"I am a rogue cultivator..."
"Clang."
Just as Pang Tong was about to explain.
In the distance, sounds of combat suddenly echoed.
Two powerful individuals clashed, and destructive storms rippled outwards.
"Water and Fire Twin Dragons, Annihilate." A loud shout rang out.
"Rain come, wind come, lightning come..."
The five elements, all unleashed.
"It's Chen Fan."
By now, everyone knew.
Chen Fan, the visitor from the wasteland, mastered multiple Great Daos of rules and possessed immense combat power.
