Chapter 1072: Chapter 663: Sudden Change! (4K)

“Is there a possibility that the reason I’m being hunted by the Wan Family is my own doing?”

Xiao Fan explained, seeing the other party assuming it was due to his Calamity Body.

Though the Calamity Body is the Lone Star of Destiny, it hadn’t reached the terrifying level where anyone who touches him would die.

Otherwise, this constitution could theoretically use cause and effect to kill any existence in the Three Realms.

“Really?”

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, fearing she might cause another person’s death.

“Do you usually reside in this cave?”

Xiao Fan surveyed the cave, noting the dozen or so formations used to shield its presence, preventing the Wan Family Ancestor and the God Hunting Hound from finding it.

“Yes. My constitution is special; I don’t want to implicate others, so I live in seclusion here.”

“How long has it been since you last spoke to someone from the outside?”

“Several thousand years, perhaps…”

When the woman spoke of this, her brows carried a hint of sadness.

“… …”

Xiao Fan was secretly shocked.

This woman had secluded herself in the desolate wilderness for countless years without interaction, just to prevent her cursed fate from affecting others.

However, even being in the wilderness hasn’t hindered her cultivation.

The woman’s cultivation level was very high, likely at the Great Success Immortal Emperor level.

The Calamity Body affects those around, but has no impact on her own cultivation.

“Once your pursuers leave, you should hurry and depart too. While my misfortune hasn’t affected you yet, better safe than sorry.”

The woman remained worried.

“My fate is controlled by me, not by heaven. I don’t believe that a brief encounter could end my life!”

As a descendant of the Ancient Xiao Family, with the War Heaven Tyrant Body, Xiao Fan was inherently disdainful of Qi Destiny and causality, truly unafraid of the Calamity Body.

“You’re not afraid of losing your life?”

The woman was stunned; ordinary cultivators would avoid the Calamity Body like the plague, yet there were people who didn’t believe this misfortune.

“Our cultivation is akin to defying the heavens. If we’re afraid to stay even ten days or half a month, wouldn’t it be shameful?”

“It’s different…”

The woman was concerned yet somewhat expectant.

After all, she hadn’t communicated with anyone for a long time.

“The Wan Family is still hunting me; I should stay until the situation calms down. I have many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures here that can support our cultivation without needing to leave.”

Xiao Fan perceived that the Wan Family Ancestor was still searching the world for him, and thought it prudent to stay here for a while.

He observed the surroundings and found the cave’s interior to be orderly, with flowers and plants, and even a Spiritual Fire illuminating the cave like a sun.

Women’s clothes hung on the stone walls.

Embarrassed, she quickly stored them in her Space Ring.

“Are you a descendant of the Changsun Clan?”

Xiao Fan’s keen eye noticed a plum blossom motif on one of her garments, reminding him of a vanished ancient family.

In ancient times, the Changsun Family, like the Xiao Family, was a prestigious cultivator clan, producing many experts. However, legend has it that the Changsun Family seemed to be cursed, as its experts fell one by one, and even later born geniuses met with untimely deaths.

A cursed ancient family long lost to history.

This woman, possessing the Calamity Body, was likely a Changsun descendant.

“Yes, our Changsun Family is cursed by the heavens; clan members encounter calamities and implicate relatives and friends, so you’d better not get too close to me.”

The woman hugged her knees in the cave’s corner; her beautiful gaze carried a shadow.

“Perhaps there really is a special constitution that attracts misfortune, but I believe there’s a way to break this curse. If I find a method to break the Calamity Body, I’ll surely inform you.”

Xiao Fan couldn’t fathom the woman’s experiences.

The Xiao Family’s downfall was that it became an insignificant family, with Xiao Fan at worst mocked by relatives. This woman had likely suffered loss and been forced to live in solitude, honing her cultivation.

The woman felt slightly better after Xiao Fan’s comforting words: “Thank you for your kind words.”

“What’s your name?”

“Changsun Limu, and you?”

“Xiao Fan.”

Xiao Fan knew the Changsun Clan likely faced some catastrophe, decided not to dwell on her sorrow, and instead shared tales from recent years.

Changsun Limu, having been isolated for so long, listened eagerly to anything Xiao Fan said.

Meanwhile, outside, the Wan Family Ancestor was still furiously searching for Xiao Fan.

However, the Wan Family Ancestor found nothing.

Xiao Fan seemed to have vanished, so much so that even the God Hunting Hound couldn’t detect him.

To avoid the world, Changsun Limu had set up her family’s Ancient Mysterious Gate Formation in the cave, concealing their presence, making it impossible for the God Hunting Hound to detect them.

In the Demon Realm, Tu Mountain, Lu Changsheng was cultivating in his room, days passing without a sign of Ji Xuan.

“Hmm?”

Though Lu Changsheng didn’t want to interfere with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan affairs, Ji Xuan was his direct disciple. Should these matters affect Ji Xuan’s interests, Lu Changsheng would choose to take away his disciple.

Lu Changsheng utilized a tracking spell to find Ji Xuan’s whereabouts.

Finally, Lu Changsheng found Ji Xuan on the mountaintop.

Ji Xuan was sitting on a tree branch, staring blankly at the moonlight.

Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He had worried the Clan Leader was angry over something and had imprisoned Ji Xuan.
