The three of them passed through the stone gate and found themselves in a huge hall. Around the hall, passageways stretched out in all directions, and for a moment, they had no idea where to go.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan and Venerable Tianhuo both turned their gazes to Xiao Fan, since Xiao Fan had shown an extremely familiarity with the ruins since they entered.

However, looking at the interconnected passageways, Xiao Fan was at a loss as to where to go.

After all, there were no changes to the fire passage and stone gate ahead, and he knew how to get through them. But the passage in front of him was interconnected, and where it would ultimately lead was up to luck.

"Now that we're here, I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen next. These passages might hold some opportunities; it's all up to luck now!"

Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yan and Venerable Tianhuo, shook his head slightly, and then asked the two of them, "Do you want to go together or split up?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan and Venerable Tianhuo exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Let's split up!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes as he said, "This is, after all, the ruins of a Dou Sheng. If we go together, we might miss out on countless opportunities. With our strength, as long as we are careful, even if we are no match for them, we can still escape. If we go separately, our gains will be much greater."

Heavenly Flame Venerable nodded slightly upon hearing Xiao Yan's words; he shared the same sentiment.

"it is good!"

Xiao Fan looked at their choices without interfering too much. He took out two tokens from his pocket and handed them to the two of them: "If you encounter any emergency, crush this token and I will be able to detect it immediately."

Xiao Yan and Venerable Tianhuo solemnly accepted the tokens from Xiao Fan, then the three of them exchanged a glance and each chose a passage to fly deeper into the area.

At this point, Xiao Fan could only rely on his luck. He randomly chose a passage and stepped inside.

Shortly after the three stepped into the passage, powerful figures from various forces in the Central Continent finally arrived inside the hall.

Upon seeing the network of passageways, a hint of surprise crossed their faces. Without hesitation, they scattered and surged into each of the passageways...

After entering the passage, Xiao Fan looked at the exquisite pavilions on both sides. His vast soul power surged towards the pavilions, but he found that it was blocked at the moment it came into contact with them.

It seems this attic has the ability to block soul perception; if you want to know what's inside, you'll have to step inside yourself.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan was not surprised. He walked to the door of a pavilion and pushed it, but felt a resistance.

"crunch..."

However, as Xiao Fan's power gradually increased, the pavilion door slowly opened with a muffled thud.

As soon as the door opened, an ancient and decaying aura rushed out. Xiao Fan stepped inside and saw scrolls neatly arranged on the bookshelves.

"Looks like I'm in luck..."

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Fan's face; it was rare to find a pavilion so well-preserved.

Xiao Fan casually picked up a scroll from the bookshelf beside him, opened it, and saw that it recorded some strange and unusual events on the Dou Qi Continent. He then put it into his storage ring.

Xiao Fan picked up another scroll from the bookshelf and opened it. His smile froze, and he looked sullen.

He originally thought this was a place to store fighting techniques and cultivation methods, but now it seems that the scrolls on this bookshelf record all sorts of strange and wonderful things from the Dou Qi Continent.

"Well, at least I didn't go back empty-handed!"

Xiao Fan sighed, shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, a scroll on the bookshelf was put into his storage ring.

As he walked deeper into the area, the surrounding bookshelves became increasingly thick and ornate.

When he reached the deepest part, a gleaming golden bookshelf held only three scrolls.

"Oh?"

Xiao Fan looked at the bookshelf in front of him with a hint of surprise on his face. The scroll that was treated so carefully by a Dou Sheng powerhouse must have been about a reporter's story that was sure to cause a sensation across the continent.

Xiao Fan raised his hand, only to find that there was a battle qi seal on the bookshelf in front of him.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, dark flames emerged from him and his palm, enveloping his hand. He reached out again, and the seal in front of the bookshelf ignored him.

Picking up the golden scroll, Xiao Fan unfolded a corner, and the title on it made his heart tremble.

At the far right of the money scroll, several large, gold-embossed characters appeared in Xiao Fan's sight, and they seemed to possess a power that pulled at one's soul, making Xiao Fan unable to resist wanting to immerse himself in them.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan's soul power was not something that ordinary experts could compare to. Sensing the strangeness of this scroll, Xiao Fan's soul power trembled, and his mind instantly became clear.

"What terrifying allure!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Fan's face. He looked at the scroll with utmost seriousness and rolled it up again.

As Xiao Fan moved, the scroll that had been exposed was sealed again, and its title gradually dimmed.

Chapter 254 An Unexpected Standoff

"The Battle Emperor Visualization Diagram..."

Xiao Fan looked at the scroll in his hand and spoke softly, his face showing an undisguised excitement.

The scroll that appeared in his hand just now was called the Dou Di Visualization Diagram. However, Xiao Fan carefully recalled the pulling sensation that came from his soul just now.

Ultimately, it was concluded that the visualization diagram was merely an exaggeration. Although the soul-pulling force within it was extremely powerful, it was simply no match for a Dou Di.

After all, Xiao Fan had personally encountered Zhu Kun, a powerful expert at the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng, and Zhu Kun's mere glance was enough to nearly annihilate him.

Xiao Fan still feels lingering fear when he faces Zhu Kun back then. If it weren't for the existence of the system, he wouldn't have been so bold back then.

Not to mention those at the Dou Di level.

"Even if this visualization diagram is not at the Dou Di level, it is still an extremely powerful magic weapon for ordinary experts to train their soul power."

Xiao Fan's eyes flickered as he put the scroll away, then his gaze turned to the other two scrolls in the array beside him.

Having gained something from the Dou Di Visualization Diagram, Xiao Fan's interest in the remaining two scrolls greatly increased.

However, just as Xiao Fan was about to put away the two scrolls in front of him, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

"Why is the attic door open? Did someone get there first?"

As a series of commotions arose, several powerful figures suddenly burst into the main hall from outside the pavilion. Looking at Xiao Fan, who stood at the deepest part of the hall, they revealed sinister smiles.

"Kid, I saw a lot of scrolls and such on the bookshelf just now. Did you take them all for yourself?"

The crowd sneered, then stepped forward and surrounded Xiao Fan in the center.

The leader, whose strength had reached the level of a one-star Dou Zun, looked at Xiao Fan with a calm gaze and said, "Friend, everyone who sees something gets a share. As long as you hand over what you just got, we'll split it equally. We promise not to make things difficult for you, how about it?"

"I don't think so."

Xiao Fan turned around and looked calmly at everyone, his expression unchanged.

The other powerful figures showed a hint of resentment when they saw Xiao Fan's performance. He was just a young upstart, how dare he?

One of the peak Dou Zong experts looked at Xiao Fan, stepped forward, and said to the leading one-star Dou Zun, "Boss, let me test this kid's strength."

"Be careful, you don't kill him!"

The leader, a one-star Dou Zun, nodded slightly, agreeing with the suggestion of the powerful figure behind him. Then, like everyone else, he looked at Xiao Fanfan with a playful gaze.

"boom!"

Having received the approval of this Star Dou Zun, the peak Dou Zong expert's body blurred, and he instantly appeared not far from Xiao Fan. His fist, wrapped with dense Dou Qi, slammed down hard towards Xiao Fan's face.

"Kid, let me see what makes you so arrogant."

As soon as he finished speaking, a green vine flew out of his hand, twisting and turning in mid-air before falling towards Xiao Fan from all directions.

The sharp vines whistled through the air, emanating a chilling aura.

Just as everyone was mocking Xiao Fan, a scene that shocked them unfolded.

Xiao Fan made no move whatsoever, merely glancing at the peak Dou Zong expert. With a slight glance, a vast and terrifying invisible wave emanated from his body.

In mid-air, the resilient vines instantly turned to dust the moment they came into contact with this invisible fluctuation.

The invisible fluctuations continued to spread and instantly landed in front of the peak Dou Zong expert.

Sensing the terrifying power of this invisible fluctuation, the peak Dou Zong expert's face showed fear. He knew that if this fluctuation landed on him, he would have no chance of survival.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, one of them, a one-star Dou Zun, made a move, his body instantly appearing in front of him. Terrifying power emanated from his palm, blocking the fluctuations emitted by Xiao Fan.

"boom!"

A dull thud resounded, and an invisible shockwave spread out. Everyone took a step back, their eyes filled with horror as they looked at Xiao Fan in the center.

Xiao Fan ignored the gazes of others fixed on the one-star Dou Zun and spoke calmly.

"Don't hold it in, just throw it up!"

"Pfft..."

As Xiao Fan finished speaking, the one-star Dou Zun expert's face suddenly turned pale, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura weakened.

The other powerful figures looked at the one-star Dou Zun, who was seriously injured after only blocking an invisible wave from Xiao Fan, and a trace of fear was undisguised on their faces.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan's attention was not on them. Looking at the one-star Dou Zun, Xiao Fan suddenly asked, "You must be humans living in the Demon Realm, right?"

"Yes...yes..."

The crowd looked at Xiao Fan with a mixture of surprise and fear. When they heard Xiao Fan reveal their identities in a single sentence, their expressions were subtle, but they dared not hide anything.

As for how Xiao Fan learned their identities, it was quite simple. He sensed a vast and boundless aura emanating from this group of people, which was something he had only felt after entering the Demon Realm.

If they hadn't spent years in the demon realm, they wouldn't have been tainted with such a strong demon aura.

Moreover, it's not that Xiao Fan is narcissistic; by now, his portrait has probably spread throughout all the major and minor forces in Zhongzhou, and no one would be so foolish as to provoke him again.

The strongest among this group was only a one-star Dou Zun, yet they dared to surround and kill him, which shows that they had no idea of ​​his identity or strength.

"Senior, we were blind and ignorant. We will take our leave now. Please spare the lives of the brothers behind me!"

After a brief respite, the leading Dou Zun powerhouse finally caught his breath.
