Chapter 421: Chapter 420 Going to Lanling

Just then, Shangguan Qiuyue arrived. Ye Fan hadn’t expected her. Her purpose for coming was simple: to attend a conference hosted by the many hidden sects of the Divine Land. The conference’s goal was to foster goodwill among them. After all, in these turbulent tis for the underworld, it was difficult for any single sect to protect itself; forming alliances was the only path to survival. When all the hidden sects united, their collective strength was a force to be reckoned with. There were dozens of them, after all. The Shangguan Family dominated the southwest and, as one of the more powerful hidden sects, had naturally been invited.

Ye Fan hadn’t wanted to go at first. He wanted to focus his efforts on investigating the Divine Dragon and prepare for their final battle. However, Shangguan Qiuyue gave him a reason he couldn’t refuse. This ti, the conference was being held in Lanling Ancient City, a place of imnse history. Of course, that alone wasn’t the reason. Ye Fan had little interest in admiring ancient cities, but agents of the Divine Dragon had once appeared in Lanling. For that reason alone, he wanted to go and see for himself if this gathering of hidden sects had any connection to them. So, he agreed without hesitation.

He had initially wanted to call for more backup, but the Heavenly King Hall was undergoing its second tamorphosis. After this transformation, they would likely have to confront the Divine Dragon. For that reason, Ye Fan chose not to disturb them. The stronger they beca, the greater his chances of victory would be. Lanling Ancient City would be his first stop.

Shangguan Qiuyue hadn’t wanted to disturb Ye Fan, but since the hidden sects’ conference could involve many complex matters, she felt she had to reach out. To her surprise, Ye Fan agreed instantly.

She told him, "Ye Fan, Yaoyao and Wu Shiyin have gone to the Witch Clan. I’ve arranged everything for them there, but they might need a few months before they can return."

"That’s fine," Ye Fan replied. "That’s where Yaoyao is supposed to be."

A resolution between Yaoyao and the Witch Clan was inevitable. Now that the Mo Sect had been destroyed, the Witch Clan was safe, so Ye Fan didn’t try to stop her. It seed Wu Shiyin’s final choice was the sa as his: letting Yaoyao beco the Witch Clan Inheritor. This was a very good thing.

The two set out for Lanling. This ti, Shangguan Qiuyue was representing the Shangguan Family, while Ye Fan’s official identity was her attendant, which wasn’t too bad.

"Darling," Shangguan Qiuyue said, "this conference includes more than half of all the hidden sects in the Divine Land.

"Among them, the Murong Family is the most powerful.

"Of course, there are other powers comparable to them, such as the Jiang Family and the Huyan Family. Although those two aren’t as powerful individually, their combined strength might not be inferior to the Murong Family’s."

From what she said, Ye Fan realized these three were all renowned hidden sects with ancient origins. The Murong Family, in particular, was rumored to be descended from an ancient martial arts sect, making them truly formidable.

Naturally, so hidden sects disdained such alliances. The Ye Family, with him as its backer, had no need for a flimsy coalition of hidden sects. The sa was true for the Gongsun Family, which had Su Qingxue’s support. Then there were families like the Liu Family, which had been close with the Mo Sect before Ye Fan destroyed it. And of course, many other hidden sects had declined over the years and no longer had the standing to participate.

Ye Fan remarked, "This conference of hidden sects is probably not as simple as it seems. The Shangguan Family doesn’t need to join such a tenuous alliance."

"Attending doesn’t an we’re joining," Shangguan Qiuyue responded. After all, the Shangguan Family had the backing of both the Witch Clan and Ye Fan—an even greater source of support. Still, it was proper to make an appearance when invited to avoid inviting gossip. Otherwise, the Shangguan Family would have had no interest in attending.

Ye Fan nodded in understanding.

The two arrived in Lanling.

Lanling had been famous throughout the Divine Land since ancient tis. Although modern buildings now covered much of the old city, a deeply ancient atmosphere still perated the air. Lanling was also the Murong Family’s ho base. In Ye Fan’s view, their goal was likely to beco the Alliance Hierarch of these many hidden sects. Everyone understood this, especially the other hidden sects.

In the ancient capital district of Lanling, Ye Fan and Shangguan Qiuyue browsed the shops, looking at vintage-style items. When she saw a set of retro clothing, Shangguan Qiuyue was srized.

"Do you like it?" Ye Fan asked.

"Mhm!" Shangguan Qiuyue nodded imdiately. She had been wanting to try a vintage look.

"If you like it, we’ll buy it," Ye Fan said grandly. "I’d sell everything I own to get it for you!"

"Oh, stop it!" Shangguan Qiuyue laughed, amused by his antics. "As if you’d ever need to do that!"

"I’m just setting the mood! Don’t take it so seriously," Ye Fan explained. "Isn’t that what the male lead always says in TV dramas when they’re poor and the female lead sees sothing she likes?"

He very much wanted to play out the scene, but he was t with a look of mock contempt from Shangguan Qiuyue.

"Hey! Are you buying that or not? If not, get out of the way!" soone behind them urged.

Embarrassed, the two quickly bought the outfit and left.

In the dressing room, Shangguan Qiuyue changed into the clothes. When she erged holding an oil-paper umbrella, she looked like a peerless beauty stepping out of a misty rain painting.

"You look breathtaking!" Ye Fan said, stunned. He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. He hadn’t expected that Shangguan Qiuyue could pull off such a classic style of beauty so effortlessly.

Seeing that she had srized Ye Fan so completely, Shangguan Qiuyue was secretly pleased. Her goal had been achieved.

"What a classic beauty. Would you be interested in joining this young master for a drink?" a discordant voice called out.

Ye Fan and Shangguan Qiuyue both turned. Sure enough, a man surrounded by several other rich young masters had just stepped out of a luxury car and was walking toward them. Both Ye Fan and Shangguan Qiuyue were annoyed.

"Murong Yunhai," Shangguan Qiuyue said to Ye Fan.

So, he’s from the Murong Family. No wonder he’s so arrogant and high-profile.

Murong Yunhai approached them, took out a check, and offered it to Ye Fan. "Kid, this one million is yours. Now you can scram."

Without a doubt, Murong Yunhai, like everyone else around, was captivated by Shangguan Qiuyue’s beauty. Indeed, a woman couldn’t be too beautiful without attracting trouble.

Ye Fan imdiately tore the check to pieces.

Murong Yunhai’s expression turned cold. "You’re not showing

any respect!" he shouted at Ye Fan. "While I still have my patience, I’ll give you one last chance. Scram!"

Everyone around knew that Young Master Murong was a scion of the Murong Family who acted with impunity. No one dared to provoke him, at least not in Lanling.
