Chapter 78 Half-step King, the Mystery of Life and Death
"San Dao, let me ask you a question. Do you think the family leaders knew about our departure from the Chen family?"

Chen Fan suddenly asked a nonsensical question.

"He should know. After all, the elder in the Spirit Beast Garden knows everything."

Chen Sandao thought for a while and responded.

"Then do you think that if we go out with our identities, the family will not provide any guarantees?"

Chen Sandao suddenly realized that he was a bit stubborn, but not stupid, and he could still understand the logic.

"I'm right, Senior."

Suddenly, Chen Fan turned his head and looked out the window, and saw a conspicuous old man with purple hair standing by the sparkling river.

The magical thing is that even though the purple-haired old man was standing by the river, the pedestrians around him, including the tourists on the boats, seemed not to see him and just walked past casually.

"As expected of a young master who only appears once in hundreds of years in the Chen family. His brain is quite useful."

At some point, Zi Lei Zong had appeared beside Chen Fan, stroking his beard and smiling.

"I met the elder."

Chen Fan and Chen Sandao immediately stood up and wanted to salute.

However, before Chen Fan could make any move, he was fixed in place by a mysterious force, unable to move at all. Instead, Chen Sandao next to him performed a complete salute.

"You little fellow, are the young master of my Chen family. According to the clan rules, your status is higher than that of the elders like us. Why do you need to bow to me?"

Zi Lei Zong shook his head. He was indeed an elder, but not an outward-looking elder like the chief elder who sat in charge of the elders' council. Strictly speaking, elders like him were considered to be from the previous generation and a reflection of the Chen family's heritage.

"hehe."

Chen Fan chuckled.

In name, his status is higher than that of the elders, but who can say for sure in reality? After all, strength is what is respected in this world.

Although he couldn't see the strength of this elder, the method he just displayed still surprised Chen Fan.

If I hadn't been lucky and subconsciously glanced in that direction, I probably wouldn't have noticed it, as if... my perception was blocked.

"But you have caused quite a bit of trouble this time."

I saw Zi Lei Zong suddenly shook his head.

"The Black Dragon Empire?"

"Yes."

Zi Lei Zong nodded, and continued: "I was actually there at that time, but I didn't take action because I saw that you were not injured.

The Zhao family is quite powerful. Although they are rooted in the Nanzhuo region, they have a history of tens of thousands of years after all, and their foundation should not be underestimated.

Especially the ancestor of the Zhao family. I have dealt with him before. He is not a good person and is too domineering. He was a master-level figure before he went into seclusion. Now that he has come out of seclusion, he may have made even greater progress. "

Zi Lei Zong talked a lot, but Chen Fan only heard the last sentence.

"One step further? Above Grandmaster is the Mystery of Life and Death, right?"

Chen Fan was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that there would be such a strong man in the Nanzhuo area. Although only those who have reached the strongest half-step king can be considered to have reached the first level of the Mystery of Life and Death, it is also enough to be proud of.

After all, the gate of life and death is not like other realms. The true essence is refined into the blood vessels, and it can be truly controlled like an arm. The whole body seems to be condensed by the true essence, and the combat power is greatly increased.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to refine the true energy into the blood vessels. If there is no top expert to supervise, it will be extremely dangerous.

Generally speaking, forces below the fifth rank rarely have half-step kings because they are afraid of death. They don't have the help of a king to be rescued after a failed breakthrough. "It's almost the same."

Chen Fan frowned. A half-step king was definitely one of the top strong men even in the huge Chen family.

He seems to have made a big enemy?
“Haha, don’t worry. Although I am old, I still have some strength. What’s more, although the old guy is domineering, he boasts of his status and will not personally attack a junior like you.”

Zi Lei Zong laughed.

But this did not dispel Chen Fan's concerns. He would not attack him, but what if he attacked his father?
Chen Fan's mother died early, and he was raised by his father alone since he was a child. Even though he came from a different time period, after spending such a long time together, although he didn't say anything on the surface, he had already truly treated him as his father in his heart.

"Maybe we can bring Dad to the Thunder Realm."

Such a thought suddenly arose in Chen Fan's mind.

There are two reasons. First, it is a way to avoid disaster in case the Zhao family really has no martial ethics and directly attacks Chen Haoran.

Second, it was for Chen Haoran's sake. The cultivation environment in Tianfeng Country could only be described as average. In addition, as the head of the family was busy with affairs, he had not broken through to the Star Realm until not long ago.

You know, Dad was quite talented when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to go to the main lineage for further study, even with the help of his great-grandfather.

If possible, Chen Fan still hopes that Chen Haoran can break through to a higher level and live longer.

As his thoughts flowed, Chen Fan made this decision. Chen Haoran didn't say whether he agreed or not, because he had already made up his mind.

As for what the other members of the Chen family should do...all we can say is, leave it to fate.

Of course, after Chen Haoran, Chen Fan’s only direct relative, left, the Zhao family lost the reason to take action.

After all, the news that Chen Fan was on good terms with the Cang Xuan royal family was known to everyone in the Nanzhuo region.

Killing Zhao Long was a big deal. The Cang Xuan royal family might not be able to protect Chen Fan, or even Chen Haoran, but they could still protect some clansmen who were only slightly related by blood.

At most, they would just suppress it. After all, Nanzhuo Region was not the Zhao family's territory. Cangxuan Country, even the Ice and Snow Empire, and some sixth-rank forces would not sit idly by and watch the Zhao family act so arrogantly.

What's more, Chen Fan is not dead yet, and they don't mind doing a favor for this promising genius.

Of course, all this is based on the assumption that others don’t know that the Chen family of Tianfeng Kingdom originated from the Chen family of Leiyu.

If they knew... haha, they wouldn't mind sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers. No, they would sit and watch how the Zhao family would deal with the raging thunder from the Thunder Realm.

Uh... I've gone off topic...

"That…"

Chen Fan opened his mouth and was about to say something when he saw Zi Lei Zong raise his hand and chuckled, "Little guy, trouble is coming."

Hearing this, Chen Fan's heart trembled, and an inexplicable pressure emerged in his heart, but the embryonic form of his martial soul just shook, and this feeling instantly disappeared.

He frowned and looked in the direction of his perception, only to see a tall figure in a black robe outside the building, almost at the same level as him in the air, looking at him calmly.

"Black Dragon King."

For some reason, this person's identity emerged in Chen Fan's mind.

"Oh my god! Isn't that the Black Dragon King? Why is he here?"

At the same time, several powerful Star Realm warriors who sensed the pressure also turned their eyes to the window and saw the Black Dragon Emperor at first sight.

As a powerful person in the Star Realm, he is knowledgeable and experienced, so he naturally knows the three people with the highest status in Nanzhuo Domain.
