Departure

Time flies, and more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Jiang Family leisurely delivered 100,000 jin of Source.

"Zhou Tong, we can't wait here any longer. We've been stuck here for half a year!" Ye Fan frowned, holding the 100,000 jin of Source of resources. "The Jiang Family definitely wants to keep us imprisoned here indefinitely. Every time I need resources, they make excuses and then slowly send them over..."

"Although this 100,000 jin of Source is enough for me to advance to the Dao Palace Fourth Heaven, I suspect that they will definitely use various excuses to stall for the next million jin of Source, and end up leaving us hanging for a year or two..."

Ye Fan was already very anxious. He could clearly sense that the Jiang Family's attitude was different from before.

"In a hurry?" Zhou Tong asked in return.

Ye Fan is now at the third level of the Dao Palace Realm, which is much faster than in the original story; moreover, this is because the Jiang Family family has vaguely regretted their previous promises and the speed at which they send resources has slowed down.

"It's not just about me, it's also about Pang Bo! Pang Bo has been possessed by that old demon," Ye Fan said. "If we stay here, Pang Bo will probably be in grave danger."

"Then do you know where Pang Bo is?" Zhou Tong countered.

Ye Fan was taken aback, then shook his head, somewhat frustrated. He didn't even know where Pang Bo was, so how could he go looking for Pang Bo?

Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan and said calmly, "If Pang Bo is with that group of demons you saw last time, they're probably with the Azure Flood Dragon King, the fourth largest bandit in the Northern Region... To save Pang Bo, we must find the Azure Flood Dragon King's residence!"

"You've already found out?" Ye Fan, somewhat surprised.

"How did I find out? It was just a guess. I know that the Demon Emperor Descendant went to seek refuge with the Azure Flood Dragon King. If Pang Bo is with the Demon Emperor Descendant, then he is most likely with the Azure Flood Dragon King!"

It was not a secret that the Demon Emperor Descendant went to seek refuge with the Azure Flood Dragon King; in fact, many people knew about it.

"So you're really giving up on the Jiang Family's million- jin of Source?" Zhou Tong asked.

"Give up!"

As Ye Fan spoke, his gaze was fixed directly on Zhou Tong: "However, you're still here! You promised to give me a million jin of Source; if you don't hand them over to me, it won't count!"

"Damn it..." Zhou Tong almost cursed out loud. "You Ye Black, you've tricked me again."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Tong calmed himself down and decided not to argue with Ye Fan. He slowly said, "After we get out, go find the whereabouts of the Azure Flood Dragon King first, and while you're at it, look up some information and find out about the Jade Pool Ruins. I have a place I need to visit. We'll meet up in the Northern Region Holy City then."

As they spoke, Zhou Tong casually tossed a piece of jade to Ye Fan: "Keep this with you, otherwise, with such a big city like Holy City, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you!"

"Understood!" Ye Fan nodded and solemnly accepted the precious jade.

"However, what are you looking for in the Jade Pool Ruins? Could it be related to the complete ' Empress West Scripture '?" Ye Fan's eyes lit up immediately. He cultivated the incomplete "Empress West Scripture", but even though it was incomplete, he could feel that this scripture was extremely profound.

"You already know, so why are you asking?" Zhou Tong said calmly. "The complete ' Empress West Scripture ' is in the Jade Pool Ruins. That place has been abandoned by Jade Pool, or rather, it can be said to have been sealed away. You just need to find a general location, and I know how to get in."

Ye Fan nodded and then reached out his hand.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Tong looked at Ye Fan, slightly taken aback.

"Gathering information is free!" Ye Fan said seriously.

"You really think of me as a babysitter?" Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan and then said, "I don't have money to give you, but I can show you a way out."

"In the Ji Family Stone Workshop's Heaven-Grade Stone Garden workshop in the Holy City, there is a Wonderful Sound Stone and a dark blue stone pier next to the Eclosion Ascension Stone. There are treasures inside. But their value is not particularly high, and they are only worth a million Yuan in total."

"If you know how to operate, such as betting against someone, you can make a lot more money. You might even be able to raise enough resources to advance to the fifth level of the Dao Palace Realm without my help."

Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan and said indifferently.

Ye Fan was shocked. "Is this how you earned your resources?"

Zhou Tong: "Pretty much... Anyway, those holy lands and powerful families are so big and powerful. If we don't borrow some resources from them, how can we rogue cultivators survive!"

Ye Fan: "How do you know what's inside the stone?"

Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan, too lazy to continue on this topic. He casually tossed a formation platform to Ye Fan and said, "This is for recording Array Patterns. If you're brave enough, you can use this to go and collect debts from the Jiang Family!"

"Wasn't this thing taken away by the Jiang Family? You even made a backup?" Ye Fan was shocked.

"Nonsense, we finally got a handle on the Jiang Family, how could we just give up like that?" Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at Ye Fan and walked straight out of Crane Courtyard.

Ye Fan quickly followed and soon arrived at the outside of the Crane Courtyard.

"How do we leave here?" Ye Fan asked curiously. Even he could clearly sense that the Jiang Family's guards nearby had been upgraded significantly, and there might be a powerful figure watching this area.

"Just leave. The Jiang Family has only set up some Array Patterns here, similar to sensing arrays. How could any powerful being be watching this place 24 hours a day?" Zhou Tong said calmly. "After all, in the eyes of those powerful beings, we are just juniors from the Dragon Transformation Realm and the Dao Palace Realm."

"The powerful figure who set up the Array Patterns in the Jiang Family has terrible Array Patterns skills; it can be broken with ease."

"Follow behind me, stepping in my footprints, and don't make a single wrong step." Zhou Tong said, opening his Martial Heavenly Eye and continuously drawing Dao Pattern in the Void the Great with his hands. Then, a series of footprints appeared on the ground.

He walked directly out, stepping on the footprints.

"I understand!" Ye Fan's heart tightened, knowing that this concerned his freedom. He didn't dare to say anything more and followed behind Zhou Tong, stepping forward step by step in the footprints.

Along the way, no one came, and the two left the Jiang Family's residence without any problems.

"Zhou Tong, what kind of skill do you have? With this skill, you can go anywhere in the world!" Ye Fan asked.

"I haven't reached the pinnacle of my cultivation yet, and there are still many places I can't go and dare not go!" Zhou Tong said. "Now that we've left the Jiang Family's territory, let's split up! You go find the Azure Flood Dragon King's territory, and I have my own matters to attend to. We'll meet in the Holy City later!"

"Zhou Tong, if you don't give me something to save my life, what will I do if I encounter danger?" Ye Fan saw that Zhou Tong wanted to leave, so he still wanted to swindle something from him.

Zhou Tong glanced at him, casually tossed him a scroll, and turned to leave.

"A scroll? What kind of scroll is this?" Ye Fan was very curious and excited at the same time.

Since it came from Zhou Tong, it certainly wasn't anything simple.

However, after taking one look, his face immediately darkened. This was actually a rough map of the Northern Region during World War I, and it was very inaccurate, containing only some general details!

"Zhou Tong, you're too stingy! Would it kill you to give me a Mysterious Jade Platform that lets you traverse the Void the Great?" Ye Fan said helplessly. He was very envious of Zhou Tong's Mysterious Jade Platform that allowed him to traverse the Void the Great.

"Well, it's alright. Having a map is good enough. At least Dao Yi information and won't run straight into the Jiang Family's territory!" Ye Fan put away the map and walked out.
