C205 Returning to the Kingdom of Chen
The following week, however, was rather leisurely.
Bai Junyi hadn't come out since she had entered her room. She had been cultivating quietly in there.
As Chen Fan watched the countless stars flash by while piloting his flying boat, a myriad of emotions arose in his heart.
This flying boat was a top grade spirit weapon, so the amount of spirit energy needed to control it was naturally extremely high. Fortunately, he cultivated the Slaughterer's Path, and the spirit energy in his dantian was ten times thicker than cultivators of the same level, so he was able to withstand it.
If his spiritual energy was exhausted, he would take out a mid quality spirit stone and cultivate. In this week, he could control the flying boat and his cultivation would increase a bit.
This was already the seventh day of his flying boat, and he could already see a faraway planet shining with blue light. The planet was 70% sea, and it looked incomparably beautiful from afar.
This planet was Chen Fan's hometown, Bai Chi Xing. As he got closer to home, a feeling of homesickness gradually rose in his heart.
Especially after he saw that azure planet, everything he had experienced in the past 16 years flashed through his mind. He revealed a smile and muttered:
"Back then, what did the current Chen Nation become under my father's control? "And my big brother, he has already recovered his Dantian. I wonder what realm he has reached in the past half year, and whether he has reached the Qi Drawing Realm yet?"
This planet carried too much of his memories. Even if he cultivated for a year, ten years, or even ten million years, he would never forget this place.
The memories that flashed through his mind finally stopped at a few familiar faces: the benevolent and dignified father, the tall and sturdy big brother, and many people who had taken care of him.
With a smile, Chen Fan began circulating the spiritual energy within his dantian without holding back. Streams of powerful spiritual energy were sent into the flying boat.
Immediately, the entire flying boat emitted a blue light, and its speed increased by ten times. It turned into a streak of light, flying rapidly towards Bai Chi Xing …
Bai Chixing, Chen Guo.
Chen Tiexin was wearing a luxurious black and yellow dragon robe. He was pacing alone in an empty hall. His brows were tightly knitted and his expression was gloomy. Clearly, he was troubled.
Ever since he changed dynasties, the country of Chen had been on the right track for the past few months. The people lived and worked happily, but the price was that his temples had turned completely white and the wrinkles on his face had deepened by a few degrees.
After a while, he let out a sigh and shouted with a stern face, "Men! Send my orders. Bring Xiao Er here. I have something to say to him!"
Moments after his voice was heard, the entire palace was still cold and cheerless. No one replied, as if the people in the palace had already left.
"Stop shouting, the maids and eunuchs surrounding the Zi Jin Hall have all left! "Not only that, if you don't tell me where my son Chen Fan is, after a few days, you won't even be able to be the emperor anymore. After all, this old man's patience is limited!"
At that moment, a sinister voice rang out. It was an old man with a four-colored sword on his back and a harsh face. He looked very similar to Chu Huaiyuan. He had snow-white hair that was tied up in a bun.
Seeing this old man, Chen Tiexin's expression became even uglier as he coldly said:
"Since there's iron in the world of cultivators, you can't attack mortals. Aren't you afraid that the Five Elements Sect will cause trouble for you?!" "Besides, I don't know where Fan'er is, so even if I did, I wouldn't tell you!"
"Good, good, good. I hope that you will be this tenacious even at the last moment!" Since Chen Fan has destroyed my secular bloodline, I will let him have a taste of this! "If he doesn't come back, I will refine all of your Chen Clan's blood. Let's see who dares to cause trouble for this old man if a small, mundane country is destroyed!"
Chu Chenzhou's expression was cruel. His eyes shot out red light, and after he finished speaking, he let out a wild laugh. He turned around and slowly disappeared from the Purple Gold Palace.
"Fan'er, although I don't know what kind of trouble you have caused, I hope you won't come back!" Your father here will carry it for you. If you are unlucky and die, you will have to wait until your cultivation is high enough before coming back to avenge me! "
Chen Tiexin watched as Chu Chenzhou disappeared. His heart sank as he silently prayed.
It was clearly a sunny day outside, but the purple-gold palace, which had its doors tightly shut, was extremely dark. The sunlight couldn't enter, making it appear dark.
Chen Tiexin looked forward. In the front of the hall, there were gray decorations and chairs, just like his heart, he couldn't see the slightest bit of light.
As for Chen Fan, he had already landed in a mountain range tens of thousands of miles away from the Chen Kingdom while piloting a flying boat. There were barely any people here; even hunters would not come to hunt in such a remote area.
After all, he came back to Chen Nation this time to see if the Five Elements Sect had any relatives that would make things difficult for him. He did not want to be recognized because he was too ostentatious.
By the time the ship landed, Bai Junyi was already aware of it. She walked out of her room, and looked at the scenery around her before putting away the flying boat. She looked at Chen Fan with an inquiring expression.1
"About 30,000 miles to the north is the direction of my country!" Upon seeing Bai Junyi's searching gaze, Chen Fan turned his head and pointed off into the distance.
"Is that so? Then let's hurry over! " Bai Junyi smiled and didn't ask any more questions. She withdrew her spiritual qi and walked with Chen Fan like a mortal woman.
To cultivators, 30,000 kilometers could be reached in the blink of an eye, but at this moment, the two of them were pretending to be mortals. Even if they had the foundation of a cultivator, they would still have to travel for a while before reaching 30,000 kilometers.
Chen Fan had often set foot in mountains and rivers during his childhood. Now that he saw them again, he felt nostalgic. As they walked, he explained the names of these places to Bai Junyi.
Bai Junyi just quietly listened. From time to time, she heard Chen Fan talking about interesting things, so she had to ask in detail. This was very different from her usual noble appearance, but she felt at ease inside her heart.
"Why are there so few people on the way here? Logically speaking, this should be the time when the merchants of the Chen Empire would go out to do business. Why is it so deserted today?"
After walking for about 20,000 kilometers, and more than two hours, Chen Fan finally frowned. Something seemed off.
At this moment, they were already on the public road leading to the country of Chen. On both sides of the road, there were usually wooden sheds with various hawkers selling wild animals to feed the traveling merchants.
However, although the wooden sheds on both sides of the road were still there, there was no one inside. The dried wooden chairs and tables were just sitting there idly, covered with a thick layer of dust.
Chen Fan stepped forward and wiped the dust off the tables and chairs. He realized that it wasn't thick, but it wasn't something that could be formed in a short period of time.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a loud vibration came from behind, as if it was the kind that could only be produced by millions of cavalrymen galloping across plains.
When he turned around to look, he saw a troop of several tens of thousands of cavalrymen wearing blood-stained armor. They were dashing over from afar while flashing in the sunlight.
The cavalry carried a large, fiery red flag with the word 'Chu' engraved on it. They approached from afar and in a short while, they had already arrived in front of the two men.
Every single soldier in the group had an ice-cold look on their faces as they radiated with a frightening killing intent.
