This time coming to Dongying, Xu Fan never planned to return empty-handed.

Even though the Ancient Nara was rumored by two people to be extremely sinister, Xu Fan was still fearless.

That guy dared to break into Ancient Nara, so what should he be afraid of?

Throughout this journey from Huaxia to Dongying, that guy kept scheming against him, causing no small amount of trouble. How could he not find him and settle the score properly?

"Alright, there's no need to ramble on about this matter."

Since he made the decision, Xu Fan was not planning to back down. Looking at Song Xiaozhu, Xu Fan said, "Song Xiaozhu, prepare for me, tomorrow, I'm heading to Ancient Nara."

"By then, you and Honda Tsubasa will stay in Tokyo, keep an eye on that guy's whereabouts, and report to me anytime."

Going to Ancient Nara alone, though risking danger by himself, allowed more freedom in action.

More importantly, the Seven Kills Tower and Honda Tsubasa couldn't offer much help, so rather than having them on the front line with him, it was better to let them assist him from Tokyo.

Especially Honda Tsubasa, Xu Fan didn't want to see this woman get into trouble.

"Got it, I understand."

The order from Xu Fan was given, Song Xiaozhu didn't waste any time and agreed with a nod.

It was getting late, and after giving Song Xiaozhu a few instructions, Xu Fan drove back to the hotel with Honda Tsubasa.

The night passed uneventfully, and soon, it was the next day.

Early in the morning, after Xu Fan woke up, Song Xiaozhu and Honda Tsubasa had everything prepared for him.

This time on the journey to Ancient Nara, the only thing they could do was these logistical tasks, which they handled with care, leaving almost no faults.

Once everything was ready, the group drove to the Tokyo Shinkansen.

As the departure for the Shinkansen heading to Ancient Nara was close, Honda Tsubasa saw Xu Fan to the station entrance, showing a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"Xu Fan, make sure to be careful by yourself."

She didn't know if Xu Fan could return safely from Ancient Nara, so the only thing she could do was remind him as much as she could before he left.

Though she seemed a bit nagging, in Xu Fan's eyes, it was still heartwarming.

This girl, being labeled as a cold-blooded assassin, was something Xu Fan couldn't quite agree with anymore.

She was now on the road to becoming a gentle wife, with no turning back.

"Alright, don't worry, I'm waiting to come back for what you promised me..."

Gently touching Honda Tsubasa's soft cheek, Xu Fan teased her.

This teasing remark instantly reminded Honda Tsubasa of that night of romance.

Her cheeks slightly flushed, yet she was no longer shy as before, boldly giving Xu Fan a stunningly sweet smile.

Her warm smile was more beautiful than any cherry blossom in Dongying.

"Alright, I'll wait for you."

"Ahem..."

Honda Tsubasa's boldness caught Xu Fan a bit off guard. He touched his nose, glanced at Song Xiaozhu pretending not to hear anything, and said, "Alright, it's not early anymore, you two should head back."

"If anything comes up, I'll contact you both immediately."

After bidding them farewell, Xu Fan entered the station, and after a short wait, the station announced the departure of the Shinkansen.

Following the crowd, Xu Fan boarded and quickly took his seat.

Before long, the Shinkansen started moving slowly. Xu Fan gazed at the streets retreating outside, lost in thought.

This time, going to Ancient Nara, the first thing he needed to consider wasn't the one who stole the Seven Treasures Relic, but rather the Ancient Cultivators spread across Ancient Nara.

According to Song Xiaozhu's report, martial artists were forbidden from entering Ancient Nara.

This meant that all the transportation routes to Ancient Nara had the spies of those Ancient Cultivators.

As soon as a martial artist enters Ancient Nara, they'll be under their surveillance.

If caught by them, it would mean endless trouble.

The rule prohibiting martial artists from entering Ancient Nara wasn't much trouble for Xu Fan. In fact, it made him quite pleased.

Firstly, with his Entering Dao Realm cultivation level, it's not too difficult to conceal his cultivation traces.

If he wanted, he could make those Ancient Cultivators think he's just an ordinary person.

Absolutely no trace of a martial artist aura would be visible on him.

Secondly, the prohibition exposed a major piece of information to Xu Fan.

This clearly indicated that those Ancient Cultivators were telling him that Ancient Nara had treasures, and they didn't want others to come and take their good things.

These Ancient Cultivators inherited from ancient Dongying Buddhists likely had connections with the martial monks who traveled from the Tang Dynasty to Dongying.

If this speculation was correct, the things they guarded in Ancient Nara might be Monk Xuyun's legacy.

Upon figuring out the situation in Ancient Nara, Xu Fan thought he might as well visit the Ancient Cultivators' territory.

Though it was highly risky to venture into their headquarters alone, Xu Fan estimated that going there would definitely result in great gains.

As plans for going to Ancient Nara unfolded in his mind, time flew by, and soon, the Shinkansen arrived at the Ancient Nara station.

The train slowly stopped, Xu Fan put away his thoughts, and exited the train with the crowd.

He concealed his aura, blending with the crowd, and walked out of the station.

Without any obstacles, he quickly left the station.

Even after leaving the station, Xu Fan remained cautious.

He couldn't be sure whether the informants of the Ancient Cultivators covered this entire area.

Taking a breath, Xu Fan observed the surroundings and was about to hail a cab to leave the station.

"Onī-chan!"

While waiting on the road, he suddenly heard a shout from behind.

Xu Fan turned around to see a girl in a sailor uniform with twin ponytails excitedly running towards him.

Before Xu Fan could react, the girl pounced straight into his arms.

What the heck is going on?

Xu Fan found himself bewildered, looking at the girl who seemed to be a schoolgirl hugging him.

Since when did he have a sister?

"Uh, miss..."

"Onī-chan..."

Held by this girl, before Xu Fan could explain clearly, feeling somewhat awkward with her pressing against him, he saw the girl smiling like a crescent moon, looking up at him.

"Stay still and don't move, or you'll die."
