Chapter 869: Chapter 869: Kunlun, A Place You Can See But Cannot Reach

After listening to Yuan Feng’s account, Ning Fan showed a contemplative expression.

He had originally planned to enter Kunlun to find his parents; now, he had an additional reason.

He needed to find a way to help Xu Yourong regain her memories!

"Then, how can one travel to Kunlun?" Ning Fan asked impatiently.

He had thought this question would be quickly answered, but he was met with a collective silence from the tower guardians.

Even Yuan Feng, who was supposedly from Kunlun, had no answer.

"Have none of you ever entered Kunlun?" Ning Fan was surprised.

Zhou Kan awkwardly said, "Didn’t we tell you? We challenged Kunlun back in the day and failed."

"Yeah, challenged Kunlun, but how did you challenge them without finding it?"

"The point isn’t the challenge, but the failure."

Finally, with Yuan Feng’s explanation, Ning Fan eventually understood the meaning behind their words.

Back then, these folks had provoked Kunlun by attacking the sect’s disciples outside, prompting those disciples to report back.

Then, the Elders behind the disciples came, beat them up, detained them, and they ended up as tower guardians.

In fact, from beginning to end, they had never entered Kunlun.

Ning Fan sighed, turned his head towards the only Kunlun man: "So, Elder Yuan Feng, do you know how to enter Kunlun?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Feng also sighed, helplessly shook his head and said, "Back then, I was defeated by Ning Potian, and the people of Kunlun regarded me as a disgrace. Later, after offending a major sect within Kunlun, they erased my memory about the entrance to Kunlun and threw me out to become a tower guardian."

"Strictly speaking, for many years now, I have been dissociated from Kunlun—I am a castaway of Kunlun."

In his words, there was no sense of loss, only a light sense of relief.

Kunlun, a place unreachable for ordinary people.

But the memories of Kunlun that remained in his mind told Yuan Feng that it was not the paradise it appeared to be.

It was a place with more significant entanglements of interests and more complicated feuds and grievances.

"People know Kunlun has immortals, but little do they know that immortals of Kunlun are also human beings; the feuds and grievances of immortals are even more chaotic than those of the secular world," Yuan Feng remarked.

After his reflection, Yuan Feng turned to Ning Fan, apologized, and said, "Sorry, I can’t help you with this matter."

Ning Fan waved his hand, "No problem, I have other methods."

The Su Family had mentioned connections with Kunlun before; even if Su Han doesn’t know exactly how to enter Kunlun, he should have some clues.

He turned his head to the others: "Elders, I wonder what plans you have next?"

With the tower gone beneath the thunder, they had lost their constraints and regained their freedom.

When asked by Ning Fan, they all seemed a bit lost.

"Yeah, where do we go now?"

"Just find a place to retire, I guess."

"We’ve been guarding this tower for so many years, and now you want to find a place to retire? Are you out of your mind?"

"You make some sense. Let’s just wander around and see then," someone said.

Seeing that everyone had discussed their respective arrangements, Ning Fan smiled lightly, stood up, and bowed: "If that’s the case, then I wish all the elders smooth sailing. If there’s a chance to meet again in the future, I, the younger one, will treat the elders to a drink."

Although they had guarded his own father for so long, there were no real deep hatreds between them; they were both victims of Kunlun.

Moreover, having so many Transcendent Realm powerhouses in the outside world is also a considerable force.

He was bound to enter Kunlun sooner or later, and by then, perhaps he could ask them to look after his family outside, given their acquaintance.

Hearing this, everyone burst into hearty laughter.

"Alright, alright, I’ll be waiting for your drinks then, kid."

"Just make sure you don’t hide and make it impossible for us to find you."

"Isn’t his dad just like that? Hiding anything good all to himself," someone joked.

After some more friendly exchanges, they waved and said goodbye.

With their strength, finding each other in the vast world was not a difficult task.

...

While Ning Fan was challenging the tower, the powerful families of Capital City had gathered for a serious meeting.

Once known as The Greatest Eight, only seven families remained after the Li Family was expelled.

Ning Fan’s strength instilled fear in them, which posed a significant danger to these powerful families.

"Should we find a chance to eliminate this kid?" the Patriarch of the Bao Family suggested.

Su Han scoffed, "Are you stupid? Even Transcendent Realm Patrons can’t defeat him; what are you going to use to eliminate Ning Fan?"

"Then give us a better idea!" the Patriarch of the Bao Family yelled.

Su Han appeared indifferent: "I don’t have any ideas; it’s up to you."

He now had the backing of Kunlun, so he wasn’t as afraid of Ning Fan and wanted to win him over.

However, in front of the other six families, he could not show this attitude openly.

Still, if there was a chance to eliminate Ning Fan, he would be willing to contribute.

After all, it’s best to remove a powerful figure who isn’t under control.

At that moment, Ning Caiwen suddenly spoke in a cold voice: "I have a way."

Upon hearing this, the rest of the families turned their eyes toward him all at once.

Ning Caiwen’s expression was dark. Ever since he had failed to win over Ning Fan, he had been plotting to eliminate him.

If he could not use him, he might as well destroy him!
