She still remembered the time when Chen Fan led his hunting team to Songjiabao and was targeted by bandits, putting him in a precarious situation.

How long has it been? Chen Fan...?

"Let's go inside and talk first."

Meng Xue took her arm and led her back into the house, closing the door behind them.

The six Celestial Fruits on the table were so eye-catching.

"Sister, is this the Heavenly God Fruit? It's so beautiful!"

Meng Yu couldn't help but walk over and stare at him intently.

"Yes, this is the Heavenly God Fruit."

Meng Xue walked over and sat down at the table, her expression complicated.

"Sister, why do you look unhappy?" Meng Yu blinked in confusion. Using these six Celestial Fruits to awaken not only increased her strength but also extended her lifespan. Wasn't this a great joy?

"Are you unhappy?"

Meng Xue snapped out of her reverie, gave a wry smile, and said, "How could I not be happy to spend more time by your side? It's just that I still have some worries in my heart."

"Sister, are you worried that after we all move into Anshan City, a beast tide will break out, right?"

"Um."

Meng Xue sighed softly and said, "Anshan City is located on the outermost edge. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a barrier for a medium-sized city. The same applies to medium-sized cities. Only large cities and the three mega-cities can be considered safe."

Even if Chen Fan can hold off the first wave of beasts, the other cities might not be able to. Large swathes of land will sink, and Anshan City could very well become an isolated island, its fall only a matter of time.

After saying that, she sighed again.

Meng Yu also fell silent.

She could imagine what kind of scene her sister was describing.

However, she quickly smiled and said, "Sister, I think we should have confidence in Chen Fan. He is a man of his word. Just like this time, he said he would get six Heavenly God Fruits, and he did it, didn't he?"

Now, he's leading everyone to Anshan City, so he must be confident that he can lead them to withstand the beasts' attack and defend the city.

What you said makes sense.

Meng Xue smiled.

"Right?"

Meng Yu's smile grew even brighter.

Meng Xue sighed inwardly. If Anshan City were located a little further inland, it would be so much better. Even if it were surrounded, it could still provide support to the surrounding medium and large cities.

But it's too outward-facing.

"We can only take it one step at a time."

She thought to herself.

After leaving this place, Chen Fan did not immediately go elsewhere to sell the materials of the commander-level ferocious beasts he had, nor did he return to Anshan City to refine pills. Instead, he turned a corner and headed towards the place where the old man who sold cultivation techniques lived.

Now he possesses almost all martial arts techniques below the peerless level, so even if the old man has some other good stuff, he might not be interested in it.

But what if?

If he happens to have one or two peerless martial arts techniques, it could save him a lot of points.

A distance of one or two hundred meters can be covered in the blink of an eye.

From afar, he could hear the other person's powerful voice.

"What? The people in the village are moving into Anshan City?"

"Yes, just now some awakened people from Anshan City came over and said that the people in our village can stay in Anshan City for free. Brother Chen agreed and told us all to come back and pack our bags so we can go to Anshan City first thing tomorrow morning. Grandpa, do you think this is reliable?" The middle-aged woman's voice rang out.

"Reliable? Reliable my ass!"

The old man grumbled, "Those Awakened Ones in Anshan City are all rotten! Ordinary people like us are worthless in their eyes. Hmm, letting us move into Anshan City for free? Humph, it's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—they're up to no good!"

"Yeah!"

The middle-aged woman exclaimed in alarm, "Then, what should we do? Brother Chen has already said he's leaving first thing tomorrow morning."

"How foolish!"

The old man said with a pained expression, "This Chen Guodong is still too young. He fell for their trap after just a few words. Doesn't he realize that if such a good thing really existed, would he even have a chance?"

"Yes, I think so too, sir. You and Brother Chen have a good relationship, why don't you go and talk to him? Try to get him to change his mind?"

"I, I..."

The old man's voice suddenly became stammering, and he stammered, "I do have a good relationship with that young man surnamed Chen, but that doesn't mean I have a good relationship with his father."

"Then what?"

The middle-aged woman's mouth was half-open, unsure of what to say.

"cough."

Just then, a cough was heard.

"Chen, Brother Chen!"

The middle-aged woman's eyes widened immediately.

Another younger woman was so frightened that she jumped up from her chair, unsure of what to do with her hands and feet.

"Chen, young brother Chen?"

The old man's face immediately broke into a fawning smile. "What brings you here? You didn't even give me a heads-up."

"You guys go out first."

Chen Fan glanced at the two of them.

"Yes."

The two looked at each other, seemingly wanting to say something, but then obediently went outside.

Chen Fan looked at the old man's plump face with interest, sat down in the chair with an air of authority, and said, "You seem to have been doing quite well lately, you've gained a lot of weight."

"Isn't this all thanks to you, young man?"

The old man wore a forced smile.

During this time, he lay in bed, not having to do any work, with food served to him and clothes provided for him. He was living a life of luxury and almost forgot about Chen Fan.

Now the latter suddenly appeared before him...

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. So, what brings me here today?" Chen Fan asked bluntly.

"I know, I know."

The old man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "I've already prepared it for you, young man. It's in the cabinet over there. You can see it as soon as you open it."

"Yeah?"

Chen Fan stood up, walked over, and opened the cabinet.

"It's in the first drawer."

Chen Fan opened the first cabinet and saw three secret manuals neatly arranged inside.

"Young man, these three books are all genuine. I specially saved them for you. Take a look, are you satisfied?"

The old man said with a smile.

Of these three books, one is the "Nine Yang Divine Skill," which is his most treasured possession.

Although it's not complete, then again, even if it were complete, he wouldn't be able to produce it, would he?

Chen Fan glanced at them one by one, and in less than a second, he put the three books back in his hand.

The old man was immediately terrified, his voice trembling: "Young, young brother, are you... are you dissatisfied? Or do you think these three books are fake? Heaven have mercy, even if I had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, I wouldn't dare to deceive you!"

"It's not fake."

Chen Fan said.

"yes."

The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These three books are my most treasured possessions. I only took them out because of you, young man. No one else could have them!"

"Unfortunately, I already have all of that."

"what?"

The old man was stunned when he heard this.

"Young man, you... you just said you have all three books?"

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded.

"This, this..."

The old man looked embarrassed.

He wanted to suggest that he change it himself, but he felt that would be a bad deal.

Do you possess any unparalleled martial arts techniques?

Chen Fan asked, "Is it a martial arts manual that's even more powerful than the Nine Yang Divine Skill?"

"Even more powerful than the Nine Yang Divine Skill?"

The old man stared wide-eyed, looking on incredulously.

"It seems you don't have any on you."

Seeing this, Chen Fan shook his head.

He wasn't particularly disappointed, after all, he hadn't come with high expectations.

"Alright, that's enough. Take good care of your injury."

Chen Fan turned around, then suddenly remembered something and said, "When I was outside, I heard you say that the Awakened Ones in Anshan City had bad intentions. That's not true. Tomorrow morning, you'd better set off with the main group. Of course, if you want to stay, that's fine too, but those who stay might not treat you as well."

"I followed the main group."

The old man quickly raised his hand.

"You really are something."

Chen Fan gave him a speechless look.

"Young man, wait a minute."

Seeing that Chen Fan was about to leave, the old man quickly spoke up.

"What, did you suddenly remember that you have a peerless martial arts manual?" Chen Fan turned around and asked, squinting his eyes.

"Young brother, I really don't have any peerless martial arts techniques."

The old man gave a wry smile.

"The best thing I have right now is the Nine Yang Divine Skill, but you don't like it. I really don't have any peerless martial arts techniques. However, I know a place that might have the peerless martial arts you're looking for."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan immediately became interested and turned around completely, asking, "Where?"

Qingfeng Mountain.

The old man uttered three words.

"Qingfeng Mountain?"

Chen Fan frowned; he didn't recall anything about it.

"Yes, Qingfeng Mountain, but this name is not what it was called ten years ago, but several hundred years ago. Nobody knows what that place is called now."

"Um?"

Chen Fan feigned anger, "Are you kidding me? You don't even know where this place is, and you want me to go?"

"Young man, don't be in a hurry, let me finish what I have to say." The old man quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not completely unaware, I know a little bit about it. That place is in the Tianshan Mountains."

"Tianshan Mountains".

Chen Fan laughed and said, "Do you know how long the Tianshan Mountains are, and how many peaks they have?"

"I... I know, but young man, that's all I really know, and this information is actually from books passed down from my ancestors."

The old man sighed and said, "I remember you asked me where these secret manuals came from, right?"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Chen Fan immediately became interested and said, "What, are you willing to tell me now, or are you going to continue making up a lie?"

"Young man, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

The old man coughed a few times to hide the embarrassment on his face.

"Young man, please don't hit me here."

Actually, he really didn't plan to talk about this before today.

However, Chen Fan's dismissive attitude towards what he had just taken out had instilled a strong sense of crisis in him.

You should know that he was able to stay here and enjoy this heavenly life thanks to Chen Fan.

If he has no value in Chen Fan's heart, then it's hard to say what he will face next.

Therefore, he needs to prove his worth.

"Okay, then you can continue."

Chen Fan sat down on the stool again.

"it is good."

The old man let out a long sigh and said, "Actually, this story goes back several hundred years, to my great-great-great-grandfather..."

Get to the point.

"Yes, yes, one of my ancestors went hunting in the mountains and accidentally entered a cave. There was a path leading inside the cave. Out of curiosity, my ancestor followed the path and walked for who knows how far until he came to a place full of palaces. Inside, there were broken walls and ruins, and the place was in a state of decay and disrepair. No one had lived there for a long time."

"My ancestor was also bold. He held a knife in his hand and entered a palace. The place was in a mess and still empty. He mustered his courage and went to look around. The scene was the same. Then he came to a hall and saw a plaque on the ground with the words 'Shenwu Gate' written on it."

"Shenwu Gate?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly. "So, the place your ancestor discovered was an ancient sect called the Divine Martial Sect?"

"Young man, you are indeed clever."

The old man gave a thumbs up. "My ancestor thought the same thing. Although he was filled with fear, he also realized that this was an opportunity. So he searched everywhere. When he was thirsty, he drank water from the gourd; when he was hungry, he ate the dry rations he had brought. Hard work pays off. My ancestor finally found a place called the Scripture Pavilion, where he found a large number of martial arts manuals."

Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, seventy or eighty percent of the secret manual passed down from my ancestor to my generation has been lost. Even the remaining one or two percent is almost entirely incomplete.

As he spoke, the old man gave Chen Fan a pitiful look, as if to say, "It's not that I'm unwilling to give you the complete manual, it's just that I really don't have it."

"Really? And then what happened?" Chen Fan asked curiously.

He had long been curious about the origins of these martial arts techniques.

After all, these things couldn't have existed naturally; they were created by humans. If that's the case, who created them? And where did those who created them go afterward?

Are they all dead?

But what about those who created unparalleled martial arts techniques?

For example, the Sacred Heart Technique, the Hun Tian Treasure Mirror, and the Divine Demon Body Technique—even if the people who created these things eventually reach the end of their lifespan, it's possible that they could live for hundreds or thousands of years.

Where did those people go?

"later……"
