Chapter 664: Tearing Apart the Clan Genealogy

“Alright, I’ll let that little rascal have his way,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

At this moment, Qian Bing looked at the three beast kings whose true forms only had a slight injury on their heads, laughing so hard he could barely close his mouth.

He declared that this time, they had made their profit back.

Just then, Xu Fan’s expression shifted, and a mournful cry emanated from the sword formation sphere.

“The Hedgehog Beast King is dead; we can start arranging the formation now,” Xu Fan said with a grin.

The sword formation sphere dissipated, turning into countless Spiritual Swords that returned to the sword box behind the sword formation puppet.

He also stored the true form of the Hedgehog Beast King away.

The last tiny quill appeared in Xu Fan’s hand—it was the demon bone of the hedgehog, the Invincible Beast King.

“Let me see what good stuff is here,” Xu Fan said expectantly, like opening a blind box.

A pile of spirit stones and miscellaneous items fell from the sky, leaving only a gourd of a Daoist artifact in Xu Fan’s hand.

“A gourd of celestial energy is still worth something,” Xu Fan said, waving to store the gourd into the Daoist artifact palace.

“Grape, set up the Absolute Spirit Grand Formation here, and then establish a Void Isolation Formation from the outer layer.”

With these two large formations, Xu Fan could utilize the sword formation puppet to slowly eliminate them within the grand formation.

“I wonder where this teleportation formation will lead,” Xu Fan pondered, a bit curious, but then he became guarded.

“Don’t even try to trap me~,” Xu Fan said, gazing up at the sky.

“Grand Elder, do you still want these items down here?” Qian Bing asked, looking at the stuff Xu Fan had just discarded.

“Take them all; use these things to establish an Outer Sect of the Hidden Spirit Sect in the Celestial City and recruit some promising disciples,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Grand Elder, why don’t you let Zi Yuan handle this? I’m not suited for it,” Qian Bing replied, feeling a bit troubled.

“If you’re unwilling to do it, hand it to someone who is. With so many wandering cultivators in the Celestial City, can’t you find anyone with management skills?” Xu Fan said.

“I understand, Grand Elder,” Qian Bing replied with a smile.

If it were left to him to manage, he wouldn’t want to do it even for a moment; dealing with people wasn’t as enjoyable as leading puppets to hunt down the beast race.

A day later, everything around the strange teleportation formation transformed.

The Absolute Spirit Grand Formation was set up inside while the Void Isolation Formation surrounded it from outside, with Xu Fan and the others waiting on the outside of the grand formation.

After everyone relaxed, Xu Fan began to guide Xu Gang and the others.

…………

Three months later, a Star Ship descended upon the Celestial City.

Master Qianling excitedly came to Xu Fan, who was basking in the sun.

“Every time I see the Grand Elder, you are so leisurely; I can’t help but envy you,” Master Qianling remarked.

“Retirement life is like this,” Xu Fan joked.

“Has the beast race over in Tianlong Prefecture stabilized?”

“I sent the boss there personally, and it’s basically stable now. With the boss’s clone stationed there, there shouldn’t be any problems,” Master Qianling replied.

“But something seems off over there. Should I ask my sister-in-law to come and help you out?” Master Qianling said, glancing at the grand formation nearby.

Though not a formation master, he had a keen eye.

The power of this grand formation was so immense that even the Invincible Beast King couldn’t break through it anytime soon.

“No need to trouble my sister-in-law for such a small matter; I can handle it myself,” Xu Fan replied.

“Right now, in the human and demon realms battle, the beast race has the upper hand, and it’s unclear what will happen next,” Master Qianling sighed.

“Has there been another battle in the Extreme Void Domain recently?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

He still remembered the scene when he left the Elder Council headquarters last time.

“Yes, a battle just ended not long ago.”

“All the top-tier experts from the human and demon realms showed up, fighting fiercely,” Master Qianling explained.

He had come to share some juicy news with Xu Fan.

“What caused it?” Xu Fan asked, intrigued.

“The beast race’s empress, the blood phoenix, had her egg stolen by our human race.”

“……”

Why was the plot so different from what he had imagined?

Wasn’t the battle supposed to start because the beast race’s schemes were exposed by the humans?

Xu Fan hadn’t expected the humans to be the ones to provoke the conflict.

“Who was bold enough to do that?” Xu Fan exclaimed in surprise.

“It was the third-ranked elder of the Elder Council, Huan Tian. They say he’s a backup left by the Upper Zun.”

“How did it end?”

“When it comes to top-tier experts, our human race has always held its own, but the beast race offered a condition no one could refuse to get the egg back.”

“What condition?” Xu Fan frowned.

He couldn’t imagine any condition that would make them give up an egg that could become the greatest threat to the human race in the future.

“I don’t know the specifics, but the battles between the human and beast races have decreased a lot recently,” Master Qianling said, clearly curious himself.

At his level, he couldn’t get the full details.

“Doesn’t my sister-in-law know?” This only made Xu Fan more curious.

You brought me this gossip, but you’re only giving me half of it—what’s the deal?

“She knows, but she won’t tell me.”

“From her expression, I can tell the beast race paid a hefty price.”

“Well, hearing your words is like hearing a whole lecture.”

Feeling frustrated, Xu Fan thought he’d been left with a half-baked story.

“Grand Elder, I may not have brought the most crucial news, but I did bring you the battle footage of those top-tier experts.”

“This is something only circulated among the higher-ranked elders; ordinary people can’t get their hands on it,” Master Qianling said, presenting a spherical treasure as a gift.

Xu Fan’s eyes lit up; this was a valuable item that might help him figure out what the beast race had sacrificed.

“Grand Elder, let’s watch it together. I haven’t seen it yet, so I came specifically to share it with you,” Master Qianling said.

“Thank you, respected elder.”

With a wave of Xu Fan’s hand, the two were instantly transported to another realm.

In the Extreme Void Domain, the top-tier experts from the human and beast races were locked in a standoff.

Xu Fan even spotted Ming Kong among them.

Standing in the center, Ming Kong was saying something, his mouth moving.

Xu Fan, who understood lip-reading, could piece together his words.

Ming Kong was essentially saying that the battles between the human and beast races were tribal wars, with no right or wrong. The beast race slaughtered humans, and humans retaliated by exterminating the beast race—each relying on their own strength.

A Purple Jade Flood Dragon, one thousand feet long, was furiously spewing insults at the human race.

Xu Fan knew immediately it was mocking the human lineage.

“Truly top-tier experts; just their presence is enough to strike fear,” Master Qianling remarked beside him.

Master Qianling’s fighting strength wasn’t weak, but compared to that group of top-tier human experts, he was still someone they could easily dismiss.

“What’s that silly flood dragon saying? It doesn’t sound friendly,” Master Qianling said, eyeing the distant dragon.

“It’s tearing apart the human lineage,” Xu Fan said lightly.

“What does that mean?”

“Figure it out yourself.”
