"Don't be brave. Otherwise, forget about living here recently. With my father here, even if everyone in Piaomiao Village comes, they can't do anything to you."
The worried look on Zhan Bingyun's face was clearly revealed. For Fang Chen, she felt increasingly inseparable from him. Previously, when she heard that Fang Chen killed two heaven-level masters in Piaomiao Village in a rage. She had been worried for a long time. She was afraid that something might happen to Fang Chen. But now that she saw Fang Chen, she wanted him to stay by her side and didn't want him to leave.
"Haha. Don't worry. I'll be fine."
Fang Chen smiled. He felt very happy in his heart. Having such a beautiful girl worried about him was worth it even if he died.
"Is your father here?"
"Here. Find him."
Zhan Bingyun responded. However, the worried look on his face still did not fade away.
"Well. I have something important to do with him. Please take me to see him."
Fang Chen held Zhan Bingyun's white and tender hand and said with a smile.
"OK."
With a simple response, Zhan Bingyun pulled Fang Chen towards the villa. She also hoped that Fang Chen could communicate more with her father. This would be of great benefit to Fang Chen's cultivation.
"Bingyun. There are quite a few people from your Zhan family coming this time. Can your villa accommodate us?"
Fang Chen asked with some confusion.
"Haha. There are quite a few quiet rooms below my villa. So you don't have to worry about not having enough rooms in my villa."
Zhan Bingyun responded with a smile. When she bought the villa, she asked the Zhan family to rebuild it. A quiet room for cultivation was built underground. It just comes in handy now.
"So that's it."
Fang Chen nodded. Then he asked some other things. As he spoke, he came to the outside of the quiet room where Zhan Aotian lived.
"Father, are you free now?"
Outside the quiet room, Zhan Bingyun shouted.
"Bingyun, please let Fang Chen come in directly."
The quiet room door opened. Fang Chen walked in.
Walking inside, Fang Chen looked around. There was only one futon in the quiet room. Other than that, there was nothing else.
"Haha. My good nephew probably won't come to talk to me about home affairs this time."
Zhan Aotian sat cross-legged on the futon and looked at Fang Chen with a smile. His tone was also very friendly, as if he was talking to his junior.
"Uncle, I actually have something important to do here."
Fang Chen didn't say any nonsense. He went straight to the point. He used his mental power to build a barrier outside the two of them.
Seeing this, Zhan Aotian's eyes flashed, and his face gradually became serious.
"Uncle should know where the ruins are."
Zhan Aotian nodded. There was no change on his face. Among the various forces in Yangcheng, there were almost no rumors that the ruins were in the maze.
"Haha. I can definitely tell my uncle that the ruins are in the maze. And I also know its precise location."
Fang Chen said again.
"Oh. Listen to my nephew. It seems that you have been to the entrance of the ruins."
Zhan Aotian's expression remained unchanged. He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked tentatively.
Fang Chen naturally knew what Zhan Aotian wanted to know. He smiled slightly and said, "Haha. Yes. I have indeed been there. I just didn't choose to go in at that time."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Zhan Aotian looked shocked. He took a deep breath and asked again: "So, the key is in the hands of my nephew."
Although Zhan Aotian's tone was questioning, it was full of affirmation at the time. He suddenly thought that Fang Chen had also participated in the underworld alliance's black list battle. In this way, he did have a chance to snatch the key to the ruins.
"The key is indeed in my hand. And I came here this time to talk to my uncle about cooperation."
Fang Chen said in a deep voice.
"My nephew should know that various forces are gathering outside the maze. There are countless strong people among them. Even if you and I join forces, we can't get into the ruins first."
Zhan Aotian frowned. He was wondering what Fang Chen meant. The current situation was beyond the control of any force. If Fang Chen had chosen to cooperate with him before the Jiang family came, I'm afraid the current situation would be much better.
"If this were not the case, I would not choose to cooperate with you, uncle."
Fang Chen shook his head with a wry smile.
"What kind of cooperation can you think of?"
Zhan Aotian stared at Fang Chen for a while, making sure that he did not have any strange thoughts before saying this.
"Now, as my uncle said, it is impossible to seize the opportunity. But having the key in the ruins will definitely be beneficial. My uncle should admit this."
Fang Chen did not think that Zhan Aotian would choose to cooperate with him without any benefit, so he could only increase his bargaining chip.
Zhan Aotian nodded. Although the key was not in his hand, judging from the previous conditions of the ruins, people with keys can indeed avoid some dangerous places in the ruins.
"What do we need to do."
Zhan Aotian asked.
"I hope to consume the Jiang family's strength before entering the ruins."
Fang Chen revealed the purpose of his visit.
When Zhan Aotian heard these words, he fell into deep thought. "Tell me why you did this." After a while, Zhan Aotian said suddenly. He also looked at Fang Chen and added: "I want to hear it." The truth."
"Haha. It's very simple for Bingyun. Ever since I found out that Bingyun was engaged to Jiang Yuntian of the Jiang family, I have no choice."
Fang Chen smiled and said with sincerity.
While Fang Chen was speaking, Zhan Aotian kept using his mental power to detect Fang Chen's mental fluctuations. After confirming that his words were indeed sincere, he slowly said: "A total of twelve elders from the Jiang family came this time. Except for the great elder who has the same level of cultivation as me, there are five high-level experts and six mid-level experts."
"And there is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world. People with my strength cannot take action at will. And our Zhan family can't do too many things, so there are only two people who can help you."
Zhan Aotian looked at Fang Chen and said.
"Five high-level experts."
Fang Chen murmured in slight surprise.
"The Jiang family is good at the method of talismans and seals. Both the resources and techniques are much stronger than other forces. So it is not surprising that there are so many high-level experts."
Zhan Aotian sighed. He thought that the Zhan family was also a formidable force back then. It's a pity...
"Two people."
Fang Chen pondered for a moment. In fact, it was mainly up to him to kill the powerful men that the Jiang family might send. The reason why he cooperated with the Zhan family was mainly to use the latter's intelligence and deal with some special situations. This way, he could Make sure nothing goes wrong.
