Dragon Sovereign

"Feng Ling, take a look at the map and see if there are any other rivers or anything like that." After walking for some distance, Qiu Qingzhi asked, because this might create an incentive for them.    

    

"Yes." Zhang Fan nodded. "But it will still take a day."    

    

"That's enough," Qiu Qingyan said after hearing it.    

    

"Hehe." Zhang Fan couldn't help but chuckle before saying, "It's already noon. Let's rest for a bit."    

    

"There's no fish left. It seems I'll need to store a lot of them next time we meet a river," Qiu Qingzhi firmly said. He then took out some meat and started to fill his stomach for whatever it was.    

    

When they were almost done eating, Zhang Fan suddenly stood up and said, "Someone's coming." He looked ahead as soon as he finished his sentence.    

    

Along the way, they had met a lot of people. Thus, they were not very surprised. However, Zhang Fan was extremely vigilant every time he did so.    

    

A hasty voice rang out and a figure rushed out. That person was holding onto his chest with a pale face and blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were somewhat dim.    

    

Most importantly, this person was extremely familiar. He was one of the six people he had met a week ago. Zhang Fan had a fairly deep impression of him, because this was the person who had spoken to them.    

    

When the person saw the five of them, his eyes lit up as he sped up and arrived in front of them. He opened his mouth and also laid down.    

    

Zhang Fan gawked for a moment, then quickly walked over and helped the man up. With a flip of his right hand, a medicinal pill appeared in his hand, which he handed over to the man to consume.    

    

After a long time, that person woke up. He first handed the ring to Zhang Fan and said, "Little brother, I'll have to trouble you to give this to the Dongguo Clan of the Fire and Dance Empire." With that, the man took out an item wrapped in parchment.    

    

After Zhang Fan received it, the man took the ring from his finger and said, "This ring will be your reward." With that, the man took a breath and said, "The people behind you will chase us. Leave quickly and don't let this ring fall into their hands."    

    

After the man finished speaking, his eyes dimmed.    

    

Zhang Fan was stunned. Looking at the man's appearance, he knew that he was about to die. Perhaps the moment he rushed over here, the life force in his body would be completely erased.    

    

After the man closed his eyes, Zhang Fan stood up with two items in his hands. His brows were furrowed as his gaze flickered. His expression was somewhat strange, but it was not enough to make him feel weird. This person actually trusted him so much …    

    

"Feng Ling, what is this thing?" Qiu Qingyan curiously looked at the item in Zhang Fan's hand and asked.    

    

"I don't know." Zhang Fan lightly shook his head before putting it away after a quick glance.    

    

"Eh, you're not really planning to send it over to him, are you?" Qiu Qingyan asked.    

    

"Yes." Zhang Fan nodded his head directly. As assassins, they paid the most attention to principles and principles. This fellow was the one who gave them the reward, while giving them the items was a mission.    

    

"I really admire you …" Qiu Qingzhi couldn't help but shrug. They didn't think too much about it. They were very clear about Zhang Fan's character, so when he nodded, they didn't suspect much.    

    

Thinking of the dead man's words, he could hear the seriousness in his voice. Moreover, these men should all be very strong, the person who killed them could actually kill all six of them. This proved that those people were extremely strong, so for safety reasons, he would definitely change his direction, and then go back according to the map.    

    

As soon as Zhang Fan finished speaking, the four of them nodded their heads and followed him to another direction.    

    

After the five of them walked for about half an hour, four people appeared in their previous position. Four of them were middle-aged men who looked to be around forty years old, and their bodies were covered in streams of energy. The two of them had a few bloodstains on their bodies, as well as some visible wounds.    

    

At this moment, they quickly noticed the corpse that was lying on the ground. At this moment, one of them quickly walked up and probed the corpse. His face turned slightly gloomy as he said in a low voice, "The item is missing."    

    

The faces of the other three changed at the same time and they frowned.    

    

"Looks like it was taken away by someone else," one of them said indifferently. His eyes flashed as he looked in the direction that Zhang Fan and the others had gone. "Follow me." The four of them sped off once again.    

    

As for Zhang Fan and the others, they continued to travel for a long distance before finally stopping to rest.    

    

"Heh, actually, we don't need to do this, right? Those people found us, they might not know that we got that thing." Qiu Qingyan couldn't help but say.    

    

"There are a lot of experts who can feel your aura. I'm afraid there might be such experts among them …" The one who spoke up at this moment was Yang Sixuan.    

    

Zhang Fan nodded his head. He had met them before, when he was running away with the Soul Devouring Secret Art. If he hadn't gone under the waterfall and lost his aura, he might have died at that time.    

    

"It's not that serious, is it?" Qiu Qingyan couldn't help but ask.    

    

"Yes," Yang Sixuan said solemnly. Then, she looked at Zhang Fan and said, "How do we leave now?"    

    

Zhang Fan looked at the sky and said, "It seems like this forest is about to leave soon. Let's try to leave this place by night." With that, Zhang Fan led the way forward.    

    

"Okay." The four of them followed closely after him.    

    

At night, they finally walked out of the forest and arrived at a valley. Although there were a few trees here, it was clear that they were sparser.    

    

At this moment, they stopped and did not move forward. Walking in the darkness was an extremely dangerous matter and one did not even know if one had entered the domain of a magical beast or not.    

    

After a simple meal, Zhang Fan could not help but say, "You guys rest. I'll keep an eye out."    

    

"Alright." Shen Jingyi lightly nodded his head and said, "If you're tired, I'll switch with you."    

    

In fact, he had said this many times before, but it had never worked. However, he still said it every time, 'Wan Xiang Fan is really tired'.    

    

Zhang Fan nodded his head and looked around warily before landing on a tree. He completely released his consciousness, trying his best to change the range of his senses. He then closed his eyes and began to recover with the little magical beast in his arms.    

    

This night, Zhang Fan's mind was in a state of extreme focus. If he were to endure through the next day, then the danger he would be in would be reduced to the lowest.    

    

The night grew deeper and deeper, and at the same time, Zhang Fan suddenly opened his eyes. His body descended down, waking the four of them up, and he said in a low voice, "Someone is coming, gather all your energy!" Zhang Fan brought the four of them and hid in an extremely dense patch of grass, and at this moment, safety was the most important thing, because he was unable to guess whether or not the people chasing after the six of them were people, and they were also extremely unsure of their strength. If it wasn't for him to be clear, then the six of them must have had a problem.    

    

Within a few seconds of their concealment, four figures appeared within ten meters of them.    

    

A blinding light appeared, lighting up the surroundings.    

    

What a strong energy fluctuation. Zhang Fan's eyes were filled with amazement. Not only him, but Shen Jingyi and the others were also extremely astonished.    

    

"The auras of the five people should be theirs …" The man who brought the energy up said coldly, "The auras are here, but they are not. They hid it, so their senses are quite sensitive. However, concealing it means that they really took it …"    

    

That person's voice contained a hint of coldness, causing Zhang Fan's pupils to constrict. That person was extremely intelligent.    

    

"Come out, I'll spare your lives if you hand it over. Otherwise, if you discover me, you'll be killed without mercy!" The man said as he coldly swept his gaze across the crowd.    

    

Zhang Fan's eyes were filled with coldness. If he was strong enough, even if he was lucky, he would come forward and kill these four people …    

    

"Alright, since you've already made your choice, then don't blame me for being impolite!" The man snorted coldly, and his momentum swept in all directions, "Go and find them. These five must be hiding somewhere. The sky is dark now, so I don't believe that they can hide until the next day."    

    

He frowned slightly. Although he knew that the other party was confident in their mentality, he was currently not doing it himself, but rather with five people. If it were the next day, at daybreak, the five of them would be in real danger, so he had to think of a way to deal with them.    

    

In the end, Zhang Fan decided to first take on the four others and then retreat. Although he was definitely not a match for the four of them, he was confident that he would be able to hold them off for a while under the influence of Xuan Yuan.    

    

Zhang Fan said to the four of them in an extremely weak voice, "You four go first. I'll stop them for a while. We can't drag this place out any longer."    

    

"Don't worry, I have confidence, but remember, you must escape, otherwise you'll be a burden if you leave alone." Zhang Fan took out the map and handed it to Yue Yi. "You guys head north, I'll gather with you as soon as possible."
