86: The Heavenly Secret Token has recognized its master, Xiao Fan's destiny!

It actually automatically triggered some special mechanism, ignoring Ye Chen's corpse, and turned into a streak of light, tearing through the spatial blockade laid down by the Panhuang Void Sword at an incredible speed.

"Hmm? Trying to run?"

Lu Yuan frowned and raised his hand to grab it.

But the tianji golden order seemed to have burned some extremely high-level Origin of Dao, its speed reaching the extreme, and it carried a powerful Karma-evading attribute.

This grab of Lu Yuan's actually grasped nothing.

He could only watch helplessly as it drilled into a Void Realm crack and disappeared in an instant.

"Consider yourself lucky to have run fast."

Lu Yuan withdrew his hand, not paying too much attention.

It was just a token; without Ye Chen as its Host, it couldn't stir up any major waves.

He waved his hand, taking Ye Chen's corpse into his Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, and threw it directly into the System space, intending to refine it slowly when he returned.

...

Zhao State, Tianyuan City.

In a simple inn.

Xiao Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, with a jar of ordinary tea leaves bought from Tingyu Pavilion placed in front of him, his face so gloomy it was about to drip water.

"Damn it! It's fake again!"

"What enlightenment tea! What Opportunity!"

"This is just a jar of moldy, rotten tea leaves!"

Xiao Fan was so angry that he smashed the tea jar fiercely against the ground, shattering it into pieces.

Ever since he missed the real enlightenment tea that day, he had been like someone possessed, searching everywhere in Tianyuan City for Opportunity, but the result was hitting a wall again and again, disappointment again and again.

That feeling of being toyed with by fate made him almost go mad.

"Fan'er, calm your mind."

Venerable Yao's voice rang in his mind, carrying a trace of fatigue: "Matters of Opportunity cannot be forced..."

"How can I calm my mind?!"

Xiao Fan's eyes were bloodshot: "I feel like everything of mine is being snatched away by someone! But I don't even know who that person is!"

Just at this moment.

Hum!

The Void Realm above the inn suddenly cracked open a tiny fissure.

A dark golden streak of light fell from it, landing exactly on the table in front of Xiao Fan, making a crisp sound.

It was an archaic token, dark gold in its entirety, engraved with countless star trajectories, emitting a mysterious and unfathomable aura.

Xiao Fan was stunned.

"What is this?"

He subconsciously reached out to take it.

However, before he could even touch the token, Venerable Yao in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly let out an exclamation.

"This... is this the tianji golden order?!"

"tianji golden order?" Xiao Fan was stunned, "Teacher, do you recognize this item?"

"Naturally, I recognize it!"

Venerable Yao's voice became incomparably excited: "This is the supreme token of the legendary Tianji Pavilion! Whoever holds this order, no matter where they are, can communicate with Master Tianji and request him to deduce the Heavenly Secrets and seek good fortune while avoiding calamity!"

"It is said that there are no more than three such orders in the entire cultivation world. I didn't expect it to fall from the sky and land in your hands!"

"Fan'er! This is a tremendous Opportunity!"

"With it, we can find out who exactly is targeting you!"

Hearing this, a light of wild joy instantly burst forth in Xiao Fan's eyes.

He held the token with trembling hands.

Hum!

The moment he touched the token, it trembled slightly, and a profound ripple spread out.

An illusory, aged figure slowly emerged above the token.

It was none other than Heavenly Secret Master, who had just suffered a great loss in the Pan Huang Treasury.

At this moment, although Heavenly Secret Master's aura was somewhat weak, his deep eyes still revealed the wisdom of someone who had seen through the world.

His gaze fell on Xiao Fan, and his brows furrowed imperceptibly.

"Eh?"

Heavenly Secret Master's fingers moved slightly, quickly calculating.

"Black within gold, Luck like a dragon but trapped by shackles..."

"This kid's fate actually has such intricate Karma entanglement with that Lu Yuan?"

Moreover, the depth of this entanglement was even more complex than that of Ye Chen before.

Heavenly Secret Master felt a sense of helplessness in his heart, but it immediately transformed into a gleam of brilliance.

Since Ye Chen was useless, this Xiao Fan seemed to be a better pawn.

And the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Thinking of this, a mysterious smile appeared on Heavenly Secret Master's face as he nodded slightly towards the dazed Xiao Fan.

"Little friend, do not panic."

"This seat is the seventy-second generation Master of Tianji Pavilion, Heavenly Secret Master."

"Since this order has fallen into your hands, it means you and I are fated."

Heavenly Secret Master's gaze was deep, as if he had seen through the deepest desires and anger in Xiao Fan's heart.

"Your heart seems to be shrouded in mist, with the path ahead unclear."

"Speak, what do you wish to calculate?"

Tianyuan City, inside an inn room.

Xiao Fan stared fixedly at the tianji golden order floating in mid-air, his eyes bloodshot, his chest heaving violently.

Coming all this way, he had been too stifled.

From the Fire Spirit Bead, to the Foundation Establishment Opportunity, and the enlightenment tea.

Every time, he felt that the Opportunity was clearly right at hand, and even Yao Lao had sensed it, yet it was snatched away by someone a step ahead.

Once is a coincidence, twice is bad Luck, but to have it happen one after another, if he didn't believe someone was targeting him in the dark, he would die before believing it.

"Senior!"

Xiao Fan's voice was hoarse, carrying deep hatred: "This Junior indeed has a great confusion in his heart."

"During this period, no matter where this Junior goes, no matter what Opportunity I encounter, it is always snatched away by someone a step ahead, as if there is an invisible big hand, constantly shrouding this Junior's head."

"This Junior wants to know, who exactly is it? Who is targeting me?"

Heavenly Secret Master's illusory figure sat cross-legged on the golden order, and upon hearing this, a trace of imperceptible brilliance flashed in his deep old eyes.

He had long calculated this layer of Karma.

The Luck entanglement between Xiao Fan and Lu Yuan had reached a point of life-and-death.

"For this question, there is no need for any price; I will treat it as a greeting gift and give it to you for free."

Heavenly Secret Master stroked his beard, his tone flat, yet it exploded like thunder in Xiao Fan's ears.

"The person targeting you is far away, yet right before your eyes."

"This person is... the Old Ancestor of the Azure Cloud Sect in Zhao State, Lu Yuan."

"Lu Yuan?"

Hearing this name, Xiao Fan's whole body shook violently, and then a monstrous rage instantly rushed to his crown.

"It was actually him?"

"It was actually him!"

Xiao Fan clenched his fists tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, blood dripping through his fingers, but he was completely unaware.

Scenes from the past flashed rapidly in his mind.

Back at the Azure Cloud Sect, it was also this person who was high and mighty; just because he confessed to the Sect Master, he was thrown into the dungeon and suffered greatly.

Even Lu Xueyao, whom he later took a liking to, was taken as a Disciple by this person.

He originally thought that leaving the Azure Cloud Sect would allow him to get rid of this person, but he didn't expect this nightmare to follow him like a shadow!

"Lu Yuan... old dog!"

"I, Xiao Fan, swear to heaven, if I do not kill you in this life, I swear I will not be human!"

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, every word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying bone-deep hatred.
