Gou in the world of comprehension

Chapter 1390 is becoming increasingly inhumane.

Su Fan got up and left the teahouse. The bluestone pavement was slightly hot from the afternoon sun. He strolled slowly down the street, stepping on the dappled shadows of the trees.

Such comfortable days are probably gone forever.

He didn't plan to change locations, so he decided to stay here and meet those desperate criminals from the Taihao Immortal Realm.

Su Fan didn't pay much attention to the bounties issued by the Celestial Race throughout the Taihao Immortal Realm.

It's not like he hasn't been wanted with bounties before.

Su Fan understood perfectly well that some causes and effects were unavoidable.

Instead of hiding like a stray dog, it's better to take this opportunity to solve the problem once and for all.

Of course, his confidence ultimately comes from his own strength.

After absorbing the blood of the true dragon, he knew that there were probably not many people in this realm who could truly threaten him anymore.

In the past, Su Fan would probably have found a place to hide long ago.

But now, he's too lazy to even take the most basic countermeasures, and is just quietly waiting for those people to come knocking on his door.

Sudan returned to the inn and entered his personal secret realm.

The pool beside the thatched hut shimmered with light, and the jade at the bottom of the pool glowed with a lustrous green under the nourishment of spiritual energy.

He sat cross-legged by the pool. Neither Zhenjie nor Li Chongxiu were there. In the small courtyard in front of the thatched hut, a dozen or so little girls with their hair in topknots were laughing and playing.

Since thousands of children have joined the portable secret realm, the once deserted secret realm has finally gained a bit more liveliness.

The once quiet bamboo forest, where only the sound of wind rustling through the trees, is now filled with the chattering voices of children.

They are, after all, a group of children. Having overcome the initial tension and confusion, they have now let their true nature shine through.

Although Su Fan found them a bit noisy, he couldn't bear to scold these poor little girls.

Sister Zhen and Li Chongxiu were quite excited that so many children had come to their portable secret realm.

The two of them finally have something to do. Now they spend all their time hanging out with a bunch of kids and living life to the fullest.

Su Fan plans to take some time in a few years to send these children home.

He had been a parent himself, so he knew what a child meant to a family.

Just then, a little girl with her hair in two buns finally saw Su Fan and quickly gestured for her companions to be quiet.

She came running over, lifting her skirt, and quickly brewed him a pot of spiritual tea.

"Sir, shall we make you some late-night snacks tonight?"

Su Fan smiled and said, "No need, you guys go have fun..."

He waved his hand, watching the little girl skip and hop back to her friends, before picking up his teacup and taking a sip.

Sister Zhen and Li Chongxiu had long ago handed over all the cooking duties to these young girls.

They built a school near the thatched hut, and spent their days teaching the children breathing exercises with bamboo clappers, even walking with the air of a teacher.
Their main job now is to teach a group of children cultivation; they've become addicted to being teachers.

Su Fan didn't say anything; as long as the two girls were happy, that was all that mattered.

He gazed at his reflection in the pool and noticed some gray hairs at his temples, and couldn't help but sigh with melancholy.

The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the more their heart becomes like a frozen lake, too lazy to even ripple.

At this moment, Su Fan felt himself becoming increasingly inhuman. Aside from cultivation, he had no interest in anything else.

At this moment, a light rain is falling among the ruins of Yunhan City in Shenxiaotian.

The once magnificent city, capable of housing millions of cultivators, is now nothing but ruins.

The land within a radius of a thousand miles looked as if it had been splashed with ink, turning into a pitch-black, spiritless place.

Not even a single weed could grow; only the wind carried the stench of decay through the ruins.

Since the Celestial Race issued the bounty, in recent months, starships from various star regions of the Taihao Immortal Realm have been constantly arriving here.

The Celestial Race, who have always regarded "Shenxiao Heaven" as their exclusive domain, surprisingly built a welcoming pavilion outside the ruins and gave a grand reception to every cultivator who came.

These people who came here from various star systems were all people who accepted the bounty.

This includes top-tier assassin organizations from the Great World, infamous evil cultivators, lone sword cultivators, and cultivators from various races such as demons and monsters who are unaware of Su Fan.

The reason these people came to "Shenxiaotian" was for one purpose: to collect Su Fan's aura in Yunhan City.

Even the most powerful divination cultivator would need certain conditions to calculate Su Fan's exact location.

For example, the target's vital energy or any residual aura left at the scene.

This is indeed a vast world, with numerous secret techniques for tracking auras. At least with Su Fan's current abilities, he certainly cannot escape being tracked.

After arriving in Yunhan City from various star regions, these people began to use their respective methods to track Su Fan's exact location by utilizing the residual aura he left behind.

Someone was using a tortoise shell for divination, and golden threads seeped out from the cracks in the shell.

Some people cut open their palms and dripped blood onto the charred stone slabs; the blood then congealed along the lines to form the outline of Su Fan.

In just a few months, at least several thousand people have come to Yunhan City.

Many people successfully calculated Su Fan's exact location in Shenshui Immortal City, and then successively boarded flying boats to converge on Shenshui Immortal City.

Fortunately, apart from some underground organizations, notorious evil old devils, and lone sword cultivators, these people who came for the bounty and commission were not included.

Super sects, top-tier cultivation families, and various powerful forces in the Taihao Immortal Realm are not interested in this.

Because they didn't lack the money at all, and were also afraid of Su Fan's strength, they became bystanders, all waiting to see what would happen.

Su Fan didn't take the impending storm to heart at all.

For months, he has continued to cultivate in his personal secret realm every day, occasionally wandering around the city as if those who came to hunt him down did not exist.

So many people went to "Shenxiaotian" and all of them came to Shenshuixian City without prior arrangement.

Even the most oblivious person would sense that something was wrong.

Especially the higher-ups of the Divine Water Immortal Sect, they naturally had their own intelligence system and learned of this news through different channels.

Therefore, the group of Nascent Soul Realm experts inside the sect also guessed that Su Fan had come to Divine Water Immortal City.

As more and more cultivators entered the city, these old guys finally became restless. Of course, they didn't want Shenshui Immortal City to become a battlefield.

Therefore, a group of Nascent Soul Realm experts who have been living in seclusion within the mountain gate for many years are now all guarding the city and on high alert.

They also strengthened security in Shenshui Immortal City, and recently all high-level cultivators entering the city must undergo identity checks.

Under no circumstances should the city of Shenshuixian be affected by the great battle between the two sides.
