Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 494 - 491: The Truth

Chen Fan walked straight to the table, picked up the Heavenly Creation Pearl, and toyed with it. He never expected that the third Heavenly Creation Pearl would actually be in the Ye Family.

He turned to Ye Qiuchen and said, "Elder, I find this bead quite remarkable, so I’ll take it."

Ye Qiuchen nodded, "I obtained this bead by chance in my earlier years. Although I was aware of its extraordinary nature, I never managed to figure out its purpose all these years. It’s normal for you to recognize its uniqueness since you’ve been taught by an immortal."

Chen Fan said no more, took the Heavenly Creation Pearl, and left the room with Ye Qiuchen.

That night, Chen Fan sat cross-legged in his room, transferred the map hidden within the third Heavenly Creation Pearl onto paper, and then merged it with the maps from the first two beads, resulting in a complete map.

"This must be the map to Two Realms City. However, by the looks of this map, it doesn’t seem to be a place on Earth. Could it be that Two Realms City isn’t even on this planet?"

At that thought, Chen Fan suddenly felt overwhelmed. Although he knew that to a Cultivator, even a star could seem minuscule, his power was only at the Golden Core Realm, and he was not yet capable of traversing the starry skies. If Two Realms City were indeed on another planet, then it would be impossible for him to find it.

"Well, having a clue is better than none. Maybe I’ll get lucky and find Two Realms City by some twist of fate."

He handed the third Heavenly Creation Pearl to Little Ling, who began to integrate it with excitement.

Knocking sounds came from outside, followed by Ye Ziqing’s voice, "Lin Yang, why don’t we... just share a room tonight? You’re not an outsider; it doesn’t make sense for you to sleep in the guest room at home."

Chen Fan didn’t dare to respond and pretended to be already asleep.

Since his return today, Ye Ziqing’s family had completely changed their attitude towards him. Not only had his mother-in-law, Zhao Ping, become tender, showing care and concern, but Ye Ziqing’s eyes also shone when looking at him. She even wanted Chen Fan to share a room with her that night.

Naturally, Chen Fan could not agree and used the excuse of not yet being adapted to their home to decline.

He hadn’t expected that Ye Ziqing would actually come knocking in the middle of the night, indicating that she must have felt a certain loneliness over the years.

It was a shame that he wasn’t really Lin Yang, and Ye Ziqing wasn’t his wife, so of course, it was out of the question for him to share a room with her. Otherwise, if something untoward happened, it would lead to disaster.

Ye Ziqing stood outside the door for a long time without a response, thinking Lin Yang was asleep, she had no choice but to turn away disappointedly and return to her room.

In the following days, Chen Fan, disguised as Lin Yang, infiltrated deep into the Ye Family, uncovering many secrets and confirming that the Ye Family indeed had dealings with an Evil Sect, committing deeds that were heinous and contrary to natural order.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, he used his extraordinary Cultivator abilities to sneak into the Ye Family’s treasury, taking away the ledgers that recorded the transactions with the Evil Sect, then he fled without a trace.

...

Divine Covenant Capital division.

Within a secret chamber.

Xiao Zhantian and Elder Lingxi, after reviewing the ledgers Chen Fan had brought back, both nodded in satisfaction.

"Now that we have concrete evidence of the Ye Family colluding with the Evil Sect, we have the confidence to take action against them. I will contact headquarters right away and have them send someone to expunge this cancer that is the Ye Family," said Elder Lingxi.

Chen Fan spoke, "Elder, according to my observations, Ye Ziqing’s family has not participated in the Ye Family’s dealings with the Evil Sect. They are completely unaware. I hope the Elder could show leniency and spare them when the time comes."

Elder Lingxi nodded, "Rest assured, we will not let any bad person go, nor will we harm a single good one."

Chen Fan did not say more. After all, he was not truly Lin Yang, and speaking up for Ye Ziqing’s family was already quite benevolent of him.

"Now that I have completed the task, you should be able to tell me what I want to know, right?" he asked again.

Elder Lingxi said with a smile, "Of course. The Divine Covenant always honors its promises. However, only our Alliance Hierarch has knowledge of what you seek, so you need to come with me to meet our Alliance Hierarch."

Chen Fan asked, "Where is your Alliance Hierarch?"

Elder Lingxi replied, "Mount Kunlun."

Three days later, at the Divine Covenant Headquarters in the Kunlun Mountains.

Within a grand and imposing mountain structure, Chen Fan followed Elder Lingxi to an old man with a white beard.

Elder Lingxi introduced him, "This is our Divine Covenant’s Alliance Hierarch, Ren Cangsheng."

Chen Fan greeted with a fist and palm salute, "I’ve seen Alliance Hierarch Ren."

Ren Cangsheng looked at Chen Fan with a smile, sizing him up, "Indeed a rare good seedling. Follow me."

He turned and walked into the interior of the building, with Chen Fan quickly following behind.

The two arrived in a quiet room.

Ren Cangsheng took out a piece of paper, upon which was the crescent-shaped symbol Chen Fan had seen in the hands of the mysterious robed figure.

"You wish to know about this symbol?"

Chen Fan nodded, "Please enlighten me, Alliance Hierarch Ren."

Ren Cangsheng said with a touch of emotion, "This symbol is related to a calamity that befell the world during Ancient Times. That calamity brought devastation and endless war, leading to shattered space and the dissipation of Spiritual Energy."

"You might not know, but our world was once inhabited by immortals. The fantastical myths and legends you’ve heard all have a basis in reality. However, due to the calamity I mentioned, immortals were nearly wiped out, spaces collapsed, and the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth dissipated. After a long period of change, the world evolved into the state you see now."
