Chapter 711 Leaving the Sanctuary - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

After Su Xuan left the grand hall, Wang Haoran spent some time with Hua Feixuan and the others before finding an excuse to temporarily slip away from their sight. Once he was out of sight, Wang Haoran brought Gu Hongyi out of the Heaven-Opening Pagoda. Although it seemed like only a short while in the pagoda, due to its differing time flow, Gu Hongyi had actually spent a significant amount of time inside. Her once dim and insubstantial soul shadow had become much more solidified. "Su Xuan is preparing to leave the Yin Moon Sect,” Wang Haoran said to Gu Hongyi. "Then I should go too, to find the materials to reconstruct my body with Su Xuan." Gu Hongyi felt a bit unwilling but was eager to reforge her physical body as soon as possible, craving a real body over her ethereal soul form. "Stay safe and act within your means," Wang Haoran advised. "I understand, I will take my leave then," Gu Hongyi nodded, casting another reluctant glance at Wang Haoran before transforming into a red streak of light and departing. Before long, Gu Hongyi found Su Xuan and entered into the ring on his hand. "Master, where did you go?" Su Xuan asked with curiosity, communicating with Gu Hongyi through his mind. "I sneaked into the Yin Moon Sect's library to look around and found a way to quickly reconstruct my body," Gu Hongyi fabricated a story, keeping Wang Haoran's presence a secret as he had instructed. Hearing this, Su Xuan was overjoyed, "Is that so? That's fantastic!" He had long wished for Gu Hongyi to reform her body. Firstly, once Gu Hongyi reconstructed her body, she could gradually regain her former strength, allowing him to have her support. Secondly, with Gu Hongyi having a physical form instead of a spectral soul, certain special desires in Su Xuan’s heart might have a chance to come true. Feeling his spirits lift, Su Xuan eagerly asked, "Master, what exactly do we need? Let's search for it as soon as possible." "These materials are exceedingly rare, and it might be challenging to find them in the Eastern Domain," Gu Hongyi expressed her concerns. "If we can't find them in the Eastern Domain, then the Central Domain surely has them. Why don't we go there?" Su Xuan suggested. "I thought of that too, but I'm concerned you might find it overwhelming with all the talented individuals there," Gu Hongyi said. "Master, let's go to the Central Domain!" Su Xuan declared firmly. The whole Sacred Domain is divided into four parts: east, south, west, and north. At the intersection of the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Domains, lies a special area. This place is referred to as the Central Domain, the most prosperous part of the Sacred Domain and its center. In the Central Domain, powerful sects and ancient clans are prevalent, serving as the gathering hub for the elite forces atop the Sacred Domain's hierarchy. For instance, a family like the Wang family may dominate the Eastern Domain, but in the Central Domain, they are just considered minor players. The Central Domain offers abundant resources and even more opportunities. Su Xuan, eager to surpass Wang Haoran, naturally desired to venture to such a place. Moreover, Su Xuan had made a promise to a girl. He and the girl were fond of each other, but she belonged to a top faction in the Central Domain. Due to her family's disdain for him, they forcibly took her away. Upon parting with the girl, Su Xuan vowed to find her in the Central Domain once he grew stronger. The girl, in turn, promised she would wait for Su Xuan, anticipating the day he'd come for her in glory. With things settled, the master and disciple left the Yin Moon Sect, embarking on their journey to the Central Domain. In the mundane world. Two days after emerging from seclusion, Ye Fan sought out Long Qianshan. "Where is that person?" Ye Fan easily subdued Long Qianshan, questioning him coldly. During an earlier encounter on the Chunshen River, Ye Fan had been injured by Long Qianshan. Initially thinking that Long Qianshan had concealed his true strength, he later realized that the familiar power he sensed wasn't Long Qianshan's. Ye Fan deduced that the power wielded by Long Qianshan actually belonged to a young man from the Feng family on Hong Kong Island, who was the true culprit. Unable to locate Wang Haoran after leaving the mountains, Ye Fan decided to start his search with Long Qianshan. "I don't know what you mean," Long Qianshan, slightly understanding Ye Fan's real target was his teacher, feigned ignorance, unwilling to divulge Wang Haoran's whereabouts. "The person who granted you power, where is he?" Ye Fan repeated sternly. "I have no idea what you're talking about. If you're seeking revenge, then do it quickly," Long Qianshan retorted defiantly, willing to die rather than betray Wang Haoran. "Even if you won't tell me, I have ways to find out," Ye Fan, losing patience, coldly retorted before using his soul powers to search Long Qianshan's memories. From there, Ye Fan gleaned snippets of exchanges between Wang Haoran and Long Qianshan. "Going to a prosperous place..." Ye Fan extracted critical information from the conversation. After Wang Haoran's departure, he instructed Long Qianshan to seek out Fang Xuan, casually indicating he was heading to a prosperous location without giving specifics. With this intel, Ye Fan quickly pieced things together. The most thriving place under heaven had to be the Imperial Capital. That person had gone to the Imperial Capital. With that realization, Ye Fan glanced at Long Qianshan, who had fainted, then turned into a streak of light, heading straight for the Imperial Capital. In the Eastern Domain. Wang Haoran, through his leisurely days in the Yin Moon Sect, had truly experienced the charm of the demonic women. During this time, he had been so content that he almost forgot about the world outside. While interacting with Hua Feixuan, Wang Haoran gained a deeper understanding of the Sacred Domain. The most intricate area of the Sacred Domain lay in the Central Domain. The Wang family's power may keep them seated as rulers in the Eastern Domain, but it is inconsequential in the Central Domain. Thus, Wang Haoran realized he had been misled by old Wang Wanli. Old Wang Wanli had once promised he'd have any woman he fancied in the Sacred Domain, but that was clearly an exaggeration. While the Wang family's position in the Eastern Domain was secure, it was insignificant in the Central Domain. From Hua Feixuan, Wang Haoran learned a little about the Central Domain and was eager to see it for himself. A place like the Central Domain surely had no shortage of main characters and female leads. Wang Haoran eagerly wanted to witness it up close. However, he had been away from the mundane world for quite some time. The female leads back there must be yearning for him by now, so he thought it was time to return and see them. Moreover, Ye Fan's injuries must have healed by now, likely prompting him to flaunt elsewhere. Wang Haoran aimed to give this guy a good punishment. Among the current and active cultivation protagonists, the reincarnated Immortal Ye Fan posed the biggest threat to him. He couldn't allow Ye Fan to continue showing off and progressing in cultivation. If Ye Fan surpassed him in strength, it would spell trouble. (End of Chapter)
