Things in this world were often not as simple as they appeared. Beneath the surface turmoil, hidden mysteries might lie concealed.
The string of battles from before had been just like that.
On the surface, Fan Lang had fought alone, but in truth, an ally had been waiting in secret. That ally was Gu Kehan.
During the battle, Fan Lang had secretly contacted Gu Kehan. He had not rushed to ask Gu Kehan for help, waiting instead until he was in the greatest danger before making the request.
Gu Kehan unleashed all the power of his life's cultivation and shattered Fan Sha's spatial barrier from afar, giving Fan Lang a sliver of hope for survival.
Without Gu Kehan's help, Fan Lang could only have relied on Twelve Times Burst to break the barrier himself. Whether he could have escaped successfully would still have been unknown.
Saving Gu Kehan had not been in vain.
Neither had the efforts Fan Lang had put in at the Ancient Clan.
This one great favor alone had paid it all back.
"I hope the Ancient Clan won't be implicated because of this. This place is cut off from the world, and many methods of communication can't be used. I have no way to ask about the Ancient Clan's situation."
Fan Lang thought to himself.
Over the past while, the system had finished rebooting and issued the rewards he deserved. Even escaping from Fan Sha's hands earned rewards.

Normal methods could not be used to contact the outside world from Blind Man Ridge, so Fan Lang could only communicate with Demoness Mengxue and the others
