Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Silver Fox Clan Refuge

He quietly touched the space storage device in his arms.

He thought that with Xi Feijue dead, no one would know the spell, and this space storage device would become useless.

Xiao Ya’s words left him quite surprised.

“How did you know?”

Xiao Ya said weakly, “My bloodline talent is lip reading.”

“When he was mumbling once, I recognized it.”

Hiss!

He didn’t expect that such an inconspicuous talent could have such a big effect.

After a brief consideration.

He decisively said, “Alright!”

“I’ll see you off on your journey!”

“Sea Charm, hold onto her!”

Sea Charm nodded.

One arm around Jiang Fan, the other holding Xiao Ya.

Just as they were about to set out.

The male Silver Fox Clan member, still spitting blood, showed a pleading expression:

“Young Master Jiang, please save me too.”

“I’m done for.”

He, who had been in despair, watched as Xiao Ya, who was more severely injured than him, was not only rescued.

But also personally escorted back to the refuge by Jiang Fan.

Suddenly felt like he was saved from inevitable death.

Jiang Fan glanced at him coolly and said:

“I can only protect myself now.”

“You’ll have to rely on your own luck.”

Not to mention he couldn’t bring more people along.

Even if he could, why save someone like this?

When he returns to the refuge, they might say, you just happened to save me on your way, it doesn’t count as saving my life.

Wouldn’t that be disgusting?

After coldly leaving these words, he launched Cloud Shadow and flickered away.

Leaving behind the male Silver Fox Clan member’s desperate shouts:

“No! Don’t leave me behind…”

Jiang Fan, several hundred yards away, could no longer hear his voice.

Because, a terrifying sword qi landed just a hundred yards ahead of him.

Fortunately, Jiang Fan stopped in time.

Otherwise, he’d be struck directly by the sword qi!

“Why is it getting more intense?”

Jiang Fan’s eyes were heavy with anxiety.

In that very instant of his sighing, another exceedingly powerful wave appeared around him.

His scalp went numb: “The center of the battlefield is moving over here!”

“Quickly, let’s go!”

If they get caught in the center of the battlefield, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough to die.

Xiao Ya hurriedly pointed in a direction.

“Over there, two thousand yards, then around that mountain, and we’re there.”

Jiang Fan didn’t dare to hesitate.

Swiftly he operated Cloud Shadow, turning into a thunderbolt and leaving.

And just as he suspected.

The battlefield was indeed shifting towards this area.

Massive, terrifying attacks swept through.

Just as he was barely stopping.

Above his head, the eternal Qingshan Mountain Range.

Made a cracking sound.

Looking up!

It was a gigantic sword, a thousand yards long, leveling the mountain!

Several towering peaks fell downward with an overwhelming, apocalyptic sound.

The massive shadow obscured the sky, enveloping Jiang Fan and the others.

Also causing Sea Charm and Xiao Ya’s pupils to contract dramatically.

Jiang Fan’s eyes also turned serious, urgently activating Cloud Shadow.

Shh–

He instantaneously moved out several hundred yards.

But still didn’t escape the shadow of the rolling mountains.

Gritting his teeth.

He continuously operated Cloud Shadow.

Only after five times.

When his Thunder Power was nearly exhausted.

Light finally reappeared above his head.

And not far behind, a terrifying shockwave exploded from the mountain crashing to the ground!

The intense airwaves nearly swept the few of them off their feet!

Jiang Fan didn’t look back, decisively operated Sword Flight.

Skimming along the ground to bypass the mountain ahead, he took a detour.

Indeed, he saw a chaotic pile of rocks, resembling a Secret Realm.

Xiao Ya hastily bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the pile of rocks.

Rumble.

The pile of rocks split apart.

Revealing a passage leading underground.

“We’ve arrived!”

“What’s the spell?”

Jiang Fan hastily asked.

They needed to leave this place quickly.

The center of the great battle had completely moved over!

Xiao Ya jumped off the Flying Sword and quickly said, “Great luck and prosperity without any taboos!”

Jiang Fan memorized it, decisively operated the Flying Sword to leave.

But at this moment.

A terrifying blade qi came slashing towards them with pinpoint accuracy!

The mountain range along the way was all severed.

Sea Charm was full of despair, unable to hold back a scream.

Jiang Fan’s heart pounded intensely.

At this moment, what more could he care about?

The Flying Sword turned, becoming a shadow, and dove into the secret passage.

Rumble–

The world was replaced with deafening thundering sounds.

Jiang Fan’s ears buzzed, while an incredibly fierce airwave from behind swept him, sword and all, further into the passage.

Only stopping when he slammed against a stone wall.

Even with Jiang Fan’s strong physique, it felt as if all his bones were about to fall apart.

Fortunately.

His life was spared!

“Young Master Jiang, are you alright?”

Xiao Ya, who had entered before them and was less affected, looked much better.

Rushed forward with a concerned expression.

“I’m fine, but I fear I can’t leave this place for the time being.”

Above, the resounding thunder echoed without stop.

Needless to say, above were groups of Nascent Soul experts making moves.

Going out now would surely be a death wish.

Xiao Ya looked apprehensive and said, “Young Master Jiang, this place isn’t very safe.”

“Come with me to the underground.”

Jiang Fan hesitated and said, “This place forbids outsiders to enter.”

“If your clansmen find out you brought us here, it will bring you trouble.”

Xiao Ya bit her red lips slightly and said, “A punishment is just a punishment.”

“Young Master Jiang saved my life twice, what does a punishment matter to Xiao Ya?”

Jiang Fan secretly admired her.

This female Silver Fox isn’t bad at all.

Much better than that tigress, Concubine Yunxia!

After a brief thought, he said, “Let’s do this.”

“If the refuge has somewhere to hide us, just hide us there.”

“Once things calm down outside, we’ll discreetly leave.”

“We will try not to cause you any trouble.”

Xiao Ya thought for a moment, her eyes brightened and said:

“The refuge is quite spacious, with no place to hide anyone.”

“However, you can hide in the room of the two male clansmen who sacrificed themselves.”

“The refuge has prepared a room for every clansman, and usually, we don’t enter others’ rooms without permission.”

“Now those two rooms are vacant.”

“You can just hide there.”

Jiang Fan nodded, “Alright.”

Under Xiao Ya’s guidance, they quietly made their way underground.

It was an underground space much more expansive than the Secret Realm.

With caves dug into the mountain walls.

All around was quiet.

The Silver Fox Clan were nocturnal, and now in daylight, they were mostly sleeping.

Xiao Ya tiptoed, arranging Jiang Fan in a room with the number “29” on the door.

Sea Charm and Ling Shu were placed next door.

She made a silencing gesture, then slipped back into her own cave.

Jiang Fan understood.

Carefully closing the cave door.

He didn’t dare speak or cultivate, to prevent Spiritual Power fluctuations from emerging and alerting the Silver Fox Clan.

With nothing else to do.

He could only rest.

Luckily in the cave, there was a large soft bed.

Undressing, he comfortably lay down.

Listening to the faint sounds of battle from above, he felt completely at peace.

Even the Nascent Soul experts, no matter how powerful, couldn’t penetrate such deep earth.

As his mind relaxed, a wave of drowsiness overcame him.

To break through the Fifth Level of Core Formation, he had been training non-stop for seven days, plus another big battle after the breakthrough.

His mental exhaustion was substantial.

With eyes closed, he fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, in the clan leader’s cave.

The door suddenly opened, and a weary figure clad in snow-white attire walked out.

Under the dim light, her thin face appeared ethereal and beautiful.

Like a celestial being walking among mortals.

Inside the cave, a weak voice of an elderly woman echoed.

“You have worked hard.”

“Saving clan members and taking care of this useless old woman.”

Yun Xia shook her head and softly said, “It’s alright.”

“Just need a little rest.”

The clan leader apologized:

“Stay in my room tonight for rest.”

“Ever since you joined the Demon Emperor Court, your room has been neglected and unused.”

Yun Xia waved her hand, “No problem.”

“Didn’t three clansmen get captured?”

“Tonight, I’ll temporarily borrow one of their caves to use.”

With that.

She staggered to a cave entrance.

Gazed at the number “29” on the door.

Then pushed it open and stepped into the pitch-black room.
