69: The origin of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountains: the remains of a phoenix deep underground!

"Damn Chu Changge! No wonder he didn't make a move himself!"

Chu Hao had already cursed Chu Changge to death in his heart.

However, now was not the time to curse.

He stared at Xiao Fan, realizing that the person in front of him was not using his own energy, but someone else's Soul energy.

Such a massive amount of energy definitely wouldn't last long.

Chu Hao immediately changed his approach.

"Senior, there's no enmity between us. How about this: you hand over the nine-leaf sword grass, and I can guarantee your safe departure from this place!"

Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "No, compared to that option, This Divine Son would rather beat you to death and then leave with the nine-leaf sword grass!"

Chu Hao heard such arrogant words, but he wasn't angry.

He looked at the faint golden blood that was already seeping from Xiao Fan's body.

Chu Hao smiled and said, "Senior, if you want to beat this young Revered Master to death, you'll have to see if you have enough time."

"The body you're using was only at the Meridian Connecting Realm cultivation previously, its Physical Body is fragile. Yet you're making it unleash Nirvana Realm cultivation. Even if he possesses the Archaic Sacred Body, his Physical Body won't last much longer!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan looked down at his body.

He didn't care in the slightest.

"Don't worry, before my disciple's body can no longer hold on, I can deal with you!"

As his voice fell, Xiao Fan's figure suddenly vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already behind Chu Hao.

"Such speed!" Chu Hao was shocked. Before he could react, a heavy punch landed on his back, sending him flying.

After hitting Chu Hao, Xiao Fan didn't hesitate and turned to run.

Chu Changge, who was in the distance, naturally wouldn't let Xiao Fan leave so easily.

He immediately gave chase.

"Brat, trying to escape from the eyes of This Divine Son? You're being a bit too wishful!"

Chu Changge's cultivation was not weak; he was a powerful expert at the Nirvana Realm.

He took a step, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Xiao Fan, blocking his path.

Seeing that it was Chu Changge, Xiao Fan was momentarily stunned.

He didn't want to fight Chu Changge; this person had too many things from the Immortal Realm on him.

Perhaps her enemies from the Immortal Realm were behind him.

Xiao Fan immediately changed direction and fled.

It was a cave.

Watching the direction Xiao Fan left in, Chu Changge saw his plan succeed, and he then followed from a distance.

"Revered Master! What do we do now? That Divine Son Chu, he can't be shaken off!"

In Xiao Fan's mind, the true Xiao Fan's Soul anxiously shouted.

"Xiao Fanzi, don't worry. There's a place ahead. Once we enter, we can shake him off!"

"Revered Master can only help you this far. Your body is too weak to sustain this powerful energy for too long, otherwise you will explode and die!"

Yaochi True Immortal said anxiously from the side.

More and more blood was seeping from Xiao Fan's body.

This was the blood of the Archaic Sacred Body, every drop carrying incredibly pure energy and fragrance.

Suddenly, it attracted many Vicious Beasts, which began to surround them.

These Vicious Beasts didn't catch up to Xiao Fan, but they caused a lot of trouble for Chu Changge and Chu Hao behind them.

"Damn Vicious Beasts, get out of this young Revered Master's way!"

Chu Hao chased after Xiao Fan while dealing with the Vicious Beasts that kept surrounding them. For a time, the depths of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range were covered with the corpses of Vicious Beasts.

Chu Changge did not make a move; he wouldn't attack any Vicious Beasts he could avoid.

He wanted to save his strength to deal with Xiao Fan later.

Before long, they chased Xiao Fan to the foot of a giant Sword Mountain.

To call it a Sword Mountain, it would be more accurate to say it was a giant ancient sword.

This was the origin of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range.

It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, a supreme Sword Emperor and a powerful Vicious Beast engaged in a great battle in the Eastern Desolation Dao Domain.

That battle was earth-shattering, dark, and lasted for a long time, ultimately resulting in the Sword Emperor's victory.

This sword was the giant sword left behind by that supreme Sword Emperor.

The entire ancient sword was ten thousand meters tall, and half of this ancient sword was inserted into the ground.

Over tens of thousands of years, this ancient sword had gradually formed a mountain.

On this Sword Mountain were countless swords belonging to Sword Cultivators.

These were all left behind to commemorate that Sword Emperor from tens of thousands of years ago!

Xiao Fan arrived in front of this Sword Mountain and entered a cave.

Chu Hao and Chu Changge followed without hesitation.

However, as soon as they entered, they were disoriented by the intricate underground cave system.

"What is this place? Why are there so many underground passages?" Chu Hao grumbled.

Xiao Fan had entered that passage, but he hadn't seen clearly.

Was he supposed to explore it himself?

Chu Changge, however, didn't care in the slightest. He could clearly perceive the aura on Xiao Fan's body, whether it was his own or his Revered Master's.

His Chaos Immortal Pupils began to exert their power, and an aura guided him towards a certain passage.

However, Chu Changge did not directly make a move.

He looked at Chu Hao and smiled, "Brother Ritian, please. There are so many paths here; it seems we'll have to split up first!"

Chu Hao glanced at him.

Seeing the smile on Chu Changge's face, he knew this person had ill intentions.

He smiled and said, "Divine Son, please go first. Your cultivation is powerful. If you encounter Xiao Fan, you will surely be able to deal with him immediately, unlike me just now, who actually gave him a chance to escape!"

Chu Changge didn't waste any words. He followed the guidance of his Chaos Immortal Pupils and walked towards the passage Xiao Fan had chosen.

Chu Hao, seeing this, looked triumphant.

He knew that Chu Changge definitely had a way to know which passage Xiao Fan had chosen.

The next second, Chu Hao moved swiftly, his feet transforming into a Kunpeng phantom, and he entered a passage one step ahead of Chu Changge, rapidly flying to chase Xiao Fan.

Chu Changge wasn't annoyed.

Let that foolish boy lead the way; let him deal with Xiao Fan first.

Chu Changge thought this in his heart, then he leisurely followed...

Deep within Sword Mountain, after Xiao Fan entered, Yaochi True Immortal lost control, then immediately allowed Xiao Fan to return to his own body.

"Revered Master, what should we do next?"

Yaochi True Immortal said weakly, "Keep going. If Revered Master remembers correctly, there should be a Phoenix remnant here. When you refine its essence blood, you can restore your body, and even your cultivation can advance to the next level!"

"You'd best move quickly. Although Revered Master has shielded your aura, they absolutely won't be able to catch up. However, Revered Master will soon fall into slumber, and I won't be able to shield your aura for much longer. They will definitely discover you here after a while!"

Xiao Fan listened to his Revered Master's increasingly weak voice, no longer caring about the intense pain from his body, which felt like it was about to split apart.

He ran frantically, desperately, towards the deepest part of the ground.

Soon, after he emerged from the passage.

He saw the remnant of a Phoenix impaled to the ground by a giant longsword!
