"Does the Huang family still have someone hiding in the shadows?"
Fatty Wang nervously swallowed.
He went through so much with Xu Fan. Back then, in order to help Xu Fan find information about the Ghost Path, he even dealt with the Ghost King alone for quite some time.
But of all these attempts, the Huang family is the only ones who have managed to catch Fatty Wang.
Although Fatty Wang didn't suffer much at the hands of the Huang family, for some reason, he felt extremely uncomfortable whenever he saw the Huang family members.
Now that he had finally been rescued from the Huang family by Xu Fan, Fatty Wang naturally didn't want to see the Huang family again.
"It's alright, don't worry, he's just a small fry."
As Xu Fan spoke, he suddenly raised the Zhuxian Sword in his hand and slashed it fiercely in a certain direction not far from the factory.
As Xu Fan swung his sword, ripples suddenly spread across the ground dozens of meters away, and then a large crater quickly formed on the ground.
From within the large pit, a mournful cry, like the cry of a crane, could be faintly heard.
Xu Fan and Fatty Wang walked towards the edge of the pit.
Fatty Wang peered out and saw a dark, roasted chicken-like thing lying in the pit.
"Brother Xu, what's this? It can't be a turkey, can it?"
Xu Fan grinned: "Pretty much."
Looking at the pitch-black turkey in the pit, which looked utterly unappetizing, Fatty Wang felt a chill run down his spine: "Luckily, I didn't think about eating this thing when I was in America."
Xu Fan beckoned, and Wan Yao Xue Liuli obediently jumped into the pit, picked up the pheasant from the pit, and placed it in front of Xu Fan.
Xu Fan squatted down and looked with great interest at the golden pheasant that had turned into roast chicken on the ground.
Its once beautiful fur had now turned completely black, looking exceptionally bleak.
Seeing the pheasant lying motionless on the ground, Xu Fan said with a smile:
"If you don't get up, I'm really going to turn you into roast chicken."
As he spoke, Xu Fan intentionally released his killing intent.
Under the oppressive aura of this murderous intent, the pheasant instinctively sensed that its life was in danger and jumped up from the ground.
Fatty Wang chuckled: "Brother Xu, if I were to film this, I'm afraid it would attract a lot of traffic."
Many girls nowadays are completely powerless against cute and clumsy animals. If this "roasted chicken" video were posted online, it would probably attract a lot of fans.
Xu Fan replied, "You should save your breath for now. This matter is related to the Huang family. Even if you want to release the video, you have to wait until I've settled things with the Huang family."
Upon hearing the words "Huang family," Fatty Wang looked the pheasant up and down, but strangely, the pheasant did not have the same strong, unpleasant aura he had sensed from the royal family.
However, Xu Fan discovered something different.
When he first met the old man in the long robe and the pheasant, even though the two were putting on an act in front of him, the contempt in their eyes was undeniable.
It was a silent contempt from the strong towards the weak.
Even when the old man in the long robe took the initiative to leave, the pheasant still maintained an arrogant attitude.
However, the pheasant was behaving very strangely at this moment. Although it subconsciously distanced itself from Xu Fan out of fear, it was still acting very strangely.
But what his pupils revealed was intense greed.
"Something's not right with this."
Xu Fan immediately thought of the time he tried to control his emotions. It seemed that the pheasant was trapped in greed and couldn't extricate itself.
Fortunately, it was just an emotional issue, and Xu Fan had a way to resolve it.
He took out a five-pronged flaming fork from his spatial backpack and then gently stabbed the pheasant.
An overwhelming wave of fear surged through the pheasant's soul. Under the influence of this force, the pheasant seemed to have witnessed something utterly terrifying, its entire body trembling uncontrollably, like a cowering quail.
Then the pheasant's body stiffened, as if two emotions were fighting within it.
Its small eyeballs twitched from side to side in an exaggerated manner, as if facing an extreme stretch.
At a certain moment, the pheasant's eyes narrowed, and as if all its strength had been drained, it lay motionless on the ground.
"Thank you for your help, sir."
"Looks like you're awake? Then tell me what you know about the Huang family."
When Xu Fan discovered that the pheasant had not left, he was willing to go and find it, mainly because his purpose was to obtain some information related to the Huang family from its mouth.
Mentioning the Huang family, the pheasant, which had been lying weakly on the ground, suddenly became anxious and frantically flapped its wings.
"Oh no, something has happened to the master."
"What exactly are your identities?"
Xu Fan was still very curious about the identities of the two of them. As his understanding of the supernatural deepened, Xu Fan also learned more about the strange situation.
For example, the Four Mysterious Emperors, or the Seven Mysterious Emperors under the Emperor.
However, this old man was clearly not within Xu Fan's understanding of the situation.
The pheasant hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you are willing to help me rescue the master, then I will tell you everything I know."
Xu Fan summoned the Immortal Execution Sword, but made no move, simply watching the pheasant in silence.
Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?
The pheasant's head visibly lowered.
"My master was originally a rogue cultivator in Zhongnan Mountain."
A hermit cultivator in Zhongnan Mountain?
That means they must be like Longhushan, someone who already possessed certain skills before the global resurgence of terrorism.
"Later, with the resurgence of terror around the world, Master's strength also began to surge. Even the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain noticed us. However, after they learned that Master had no intention of re-emerging into the world, they stopped bothering us."
"No intention to enter the world?" Xu Fan scoffed. "Then why did you try to stop me in the first place?"
"We were doing this for the Huang family because we needed to get a clue."
"A clue about what?"
The pheasant lowered its head, not daring to look at Xu Fan, and slowly uttered three words.
"Fuxi Qin"
Fuxi Qin?
Xu Fan was also taken aback, then immediately realized: "Wait, isn't this something from ancient mythology?"
Pheasant shook his head: "The people and gods in the myths of ancient China were real, but most of them disappeared into the long river of history."
Xu Fan remained silent for a long time, slowly calming the shock in his heart.
"You mean, you've found clues to the Fuxi Qin?"
The pheasant shook its head, then nodded.
