Ancient Nara.

Spreading out from the last consumer location of this fellow, Xu Fan is now certain that Ancient Nara is his final destination.

This certainty isn't based on mere guesswork but has considerable backing.

Nara, during the Tang Dynasty, was the capital of Dongying. The entire city was built as a replica of Tang Chang'an, known as the terminus of the Eastern Silk Road.

At that time, there was a great deal of exchange between the Central Plains and Dongying, and this place was the stage.

Among them, Monk Jianzhen, who traveled eastward from the Tang Dynasty to Dongying, is resting here.

This city, filled with a sense of history, is the most flourishing area of Dongying's Buddhist studies and, in Xu Fan's mind, also the likeliest place for Monk Xuyun to pass away.

There is an eighty percent chance that Monk Xuyun's martial arts heritage is buried here!

This fellow going to Ancient Nara now clearly means he's prepared everything to start searching for Monk Xuyun's martial arts heritage.

This signal directly sounded an alarm in Xu Fan's heart.

The time left for him is already scarce; this fellow has now shaken him off and will likely be unhindered, achieving his goal in no time.

By then, if Monk Xuyun's martial arts heritage falls into his hands, who knows what the situation will be when I try to find him again.

That's a martial arts heritage spanning over a thousand years!

"Master, did you... did you discover something?"

Xu Fan was pondering when Song Xiaozhu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hmm, if things go as expected, this fellow should now be over in Ancient Nara."

Xu Fan regained his senses and explained briefly to Song Xiaozhu and Honda Tsubasa.

"This..."

Upon hearing the words Ancient Nara, Song Xiaozhu's face became somewhat peculiar.

Xu Fan noticed this and was slightly startled.

"What? Do you know something?"

Uncertain what information his expression might carry, Xu Fan looked at Song Xiaozhu and asked.

"This..."

Song Xiaozhu looked awkwardly at Xu Fan and said, "Master, if it's Ancient Nara, I might not be able to assist you there."

Song Xiaozhu had already decided to help Xu Fan catch this fellow and make up for the mistakes of Seven Kills Tower.

But he truly has no solution when it comes to Ancient Nara...

"Master, this place Ancient Nara, not just me, even those martial arts families, generally won't step in easily."

Song Xiaozhu looked at Honda Tsubasa beside him and said.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Song Xiaozhu and Honda Tsubasa's cautious looks, Xu Fan couldn't help but frown.

The way they're acting, it seems there's something about this place that makes them very apprehensive?

"What exactly is the situation?"

"This..."

Upon Xu Fan's inquiry, Song Xiaozhu grimaced and said with a bitter smile, "Ancient Nara has a group of ancient cultivators, very domineering..."

The ancient cultivators in Song Xiaozhu's tone had a bit of a connection to the people cultivating Buddhism.

Reportedly, these ancient cultivators are a faction derived from Buddhist cultivators during the ancient Tang Dynasty.

Unlike typical Buddhist cultivators who focus on Buddhist principles, these ancient cultivators focus more on advancement in martial arts.

Though also practitioners of martial arts, these ancient cultivators never align with Dongying's major martial arts families.

They have even had conflicts several times.

However, the martial arts accomplishments of these ancient cultivators far exceed Dongying's various martial arts families, never allowing the martial arts families to gain any advantage during conflicts.

"These ancient cultivators clearly forbid martial artists from entering Ancient Nara..."

Having dealt with these fellows before, Song Xiaozhu explained their background to Xu Fan, his face showing a few traces of fear.

Seven Kills Tower had previously received a task targeting Ancient Nara.

Back then, Weitian Xin disregarded the words of Ancient Nara's ancient cultivators and directly accepted the task.

After planning, he dispatched elite members of Seven Kills Tower to execute in Ancient Nara.

But, the result was unacceptable.

The task was incomplete, and those martial artists dispatched to Ancient Nara were directly stripped of their cultivation levels by Ancient Nara's ancient cultivators.

Though they were spared death, those elite nurtured by Seven Kills Tower became invalids.

Regarding this, Weitian Xin did not believe in evil and initiated revenge at the time.

Yet, after significant losses of experts, he grew completely honest.

From then on, Ancient Nara became the forbidden place for Seven Kills Tower.

Telling Xu Fan about these past events, Song Xiaozhu sighed.

After he finished, he said, "Master, so I think, you don't have to trouble this fellow."

"Those ancient cultivators are enough for him to handle."

Xu Fan, being a martial artist, would encounter difficulties from those ancient cultivators if he went to Ancient Nara.

Song Xiaozhu explained and began to dissuade Xu Fan directly.

Even Honda Tsubasa, listening alongside, nodded repeatedly.

Song Xiaozhu was right; she was born in the Honda family and had almost the same impression of Ancient Nara.

"Xu Fan, this place Ancient Nara is quite peculiar, I think there's no need for us to go."

Upon hearing Song Xiaozhu and Honda Tsubasa's exhortation, Xu Fan smiled and shook his head.

"You don't need to go, but this time, I must go."

This time, coming to Dongying to catch the fellow is secondary; Xu Fan's primary goal is Monk Xuyun's martial arts heritage.

Now, his whereabouts have proven that Monk Xuyun's martial arts heritage is in Ancient Nara.

Abandoning halfway is unrealistic in every aspect.

Listening to Song Xiaozhu's tale, those ancient cultivators seem tough to deal with, which Xu Fan finds somewhat reassuring.

At least this time, someone can stall that fellow for him.

Not letting that fellow easily acquire Monk Xuyun's martial arts heritage before he arrives.

This counts as gaining some extra time for himself, and Xu Fan's heart feels a bit less anxious now.

"Alright! Master, since you're not afraid, this time I'll accompany you to venture into Ancient Nara!"

"I... I'll go with you too."

Knowing full well that at this crucial moment, it's impossible to turn Xu Fan back.

Song Xiaozhu pondered for a while, then decided to take the plunge and lead people to go with Xu Fan.

As for Honda Tsubasa, without even thinking, she echoed.

Where Xu Fan goes, she goes!

"Pfft."

Their resolve moved him, Xu Fan chuckled and said, "Enough, I appreciate your goodwill. This time, stay in Tokyo."

"I'm enough to go alone to Ancient Nara."

"But..."

Seeing both a bit worried, Xu Fan smiled and said, "He can go alone to Ancient Nara; why can't I?"
