Yun Fan was already on his way home.
But an accident occurred on the road. A power descended from beyond the void, launching a fatal attack on him.
That's right, this person was the Lord of the Universe. Even though he hadn't emerged from seclusion, a strand of his power was not to be underestimated.
Upon learning of his son's failure, he knew it must have been Yun Fan who killed his son, Hun Tian.
Therefore, even though he had not yet emerged from seclusion, the universe was within his dominion, and he quickly deduced Yun Fan's location.
A world-shattering power, though much weakened by the unknown thousands of miles, was still a fatal force to Yun Fan.
The next moment, Yun Fan hurriedly moved to resist, as this power had locked onto him, leaving him no chance to evade.
*Bang!*
Under the impact of this power, Yun Fan felt his internal organs shatter, and he fell unconscious.
…
No one knew how much time had passed. At this moment, Yun Fan woke up on a continent, but he had lost his memory.
"Who am I? Where am I?"
Yun Fan asked doubtfully.
He tried hard to recall, but could not remember any useful information. His mind was blank.
"How could this happen?"
Yun Fan stood frozen, not even knowing his own name.
At this moment, he looked at his body, which was on the verge of cracking. However, due to the power of his soul, he was not dead, but his injuries would not heal immediately.
He dragged his broken body forward. After an unknown amount of time, unable to support himself, he collapsed on the ground.
It began to rain, and the sky was overcast, feeling very oppressive.
Just then, a group of people rushing on their way discovered him.
"Stop!"
At this moment, the carriage pulled by several demonic beasts came to a halt.
"Young Lady, we can't delay any longer, or it will be too late!"
A young man urged.
However, a gentle and elegant woman stepped out of the carriage and said, "He looks like a pitiable person. Let's save him!"
Clearly, she sensed Yun Fan's faint aura, and thus decided to save his life.
But the young man said, "Young Lady, we can't save him. This person appeared here for no reason. Who knows what his background is?"
The young man tried his best to dissuade her.
But the woman said, "There's nothing strange about him; he's a normal person. Taking him away will also prevent him from being corrupted by the aberrations, and we will have one less enemy!"
This continent had been infected by aberrations that had recently reawakened. Those infected martial artists had become puppets of the aberrations.
In the woman's opinion, if Yun Fan were infected by the aberrations, he would also become a puppet. More importantly, this continent was once ruled by her family.
The people on this continent were all her family's subjects, so she had an undeniable responsibility to save Yun Fan.
Afterward, the young man, with no other choice, ordered his subordinates to rescue Yun Fan.
They drove their demonic beasts across the continent, evading the pursuit of the aberrations. With their strength, they could have left the continent without issue.
But the aberrations had sealed the continent, so at this time, they could only flee for their lives within its borders.
No one knew how many more days they could last, as the uninfected areas were shrinking, making it seem like it was only a matter of time before they, too, were infected.
At this point, they were tired from their escape and decided to rest in a purple bamboo forest.
The gentle and elegant woman took out immortal dew and carefully fed it to Yun Fan, but he remained unconscious.
"I don't know why you sustained such severe injuries! But rest assured, as my subject, I will not abandon you!"
The woman comforted him.
Then, she ordered her maid to take good care of Yun Fan and returned to her camp to cultivate.
At this time, the man who had been lurking in the shadows walked out coldly and said to the maid, "You all go and rest. I will heal him!"
"Yes!"
This man was named Jian Chen. He was the most talented prodigy on Purple Mansion Continent. Despite his young age, his strength had already reached the Immortal King realm.
If not for the resurgence of the aberrations, he would have wanted to participate in the Path of the Universe. Fortunately, he hadn't, or such a being as himself would have been utterly outmatched on the Path of the Universe, barely even a morsel.
At this moment, he approached Yun Fan, revealing a cruel expression. Although his Young Lady, Lu Zhu, had not shown any affection for Yun Fan, he was still jealous. He was jealous because his Young Lady had cared for Yun Fan earlier. In his opinion, someone as lowly as Yun Fan did not deserve her attention.
He had been infatuated with his Young Lady for a long time, but she had never even given him a second glance. Therefore, at this moment, he wanted to eliminate any man who was associated with his Young Lady.
His Young Lady would be his prey sooner or later. Dealing with Yun Fan was merely a matter of raising a hand.
However, just as he was about to act, Yun Fan suddenly opened his eyes.
"What do you want to do?"
Although he had lost his memory, it did not mean Yun Fan lacked vigilance. Just now, he had clearly sensed a murderous intent.
Jian Chen quickly said, "I'm here to heal you!"
"No need!"
Yun Fan refused decisively.
At this moment, Lu Zhu, who had overheard their conversation, came out and quickly asked Yun Fan, "Young Master, I am Lu Zhu, the daughter of the Purple Mansion. May I know your name and what you have encountered?"
She quickly asked Yun Fan two questions.
Yun Fan, after hearing her, said directly, "I don't remember my name!"
"Amnesia?"
Both of them looked confused, not expecting Yun Fan to have lost his memory.
Lu Zhu said to Yun Fan, "It's alright. Young Master, please get some rest. We will be traveling tomorrow!"
"Okay!"
Yun Fan nodded. The most important thing now was to recover from his injuries and then find a way to regain his memory.
After they left, Jian Chen said to Lu Zhu, "Young Lady, we can't keep carrying him. He will only be a burden to us!"
However, Lu Zhu said, "Jian Chen, we are the only survivors on the entire Purple Mansion Continent. I will never abandon any of my subjects!"
With that, she left angrily.
Jian Chen was filled with rage, but he suppressed it. Originally, he had wanted to directly take Lu Zhu, whom he had coveted for a long time.
But he did not have the confidence to defeat Lu Zhu now. It was not that his strength was inferior to Lu Zhu's.
On the contrary, his strength was greater than Lu Zhu's. Lu Zhu was only at the third stage of the Immortal King realm, while he was already at the fifth stage. However, Lu Zhu still possessed a hidden method left by the Mansion Lord.
The reason he had been restraining himself for so many days was simply to wait for Lu Zhu to use her trump card, after which he would claim her.
Even though he knew that surrounded by aberrations, they would not live much longer, he still wanted to enjoy himself before death.
The next day, Yun Fan, supported by Lu Zhu's maid, got up. Unexpectedly, someone rushed forward.
"Young Lady, disaster! A group of aberrant puppets has appeared and surrounded us!"
"What?"
Lu Zhu's expression turned to horror. They had fled in a desperate escape, but in the end, were they still unable to escape?
As expected, at this moment, the aura of aberrations was spreading towards them.
Jian Chen instantly fell into despair. He had not yet had Lu Zhu before his impending death. To die like this, he was unwilling!
Thus, he vented his rage upon Yun Fan.
"Boy, it's you!"
He cursed, "It's because we took you in that the aberrations caught up to us so quickly! Therefore, you are a spy for the aberrations!"
As soon as he said this, everyone turned their accusations on Yun Fan.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lu Zhu said to Yun Fan, "Young Master, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault!"
At this time, Jian Chen and the others were shouting, calling for Yun Fan's death, which was becoming increasingly unbearable for Lu Zhu.
Of course, the most bothersome was Yun Fan himself.
"Enough!"
Yun Fan said, "We should focus on solving the current problem first!"
"Hmph!"
Everyone glared at him fiercely, intending to erupt in anger again. Unexpectedly, at this moment, countless aberrant energies surged towards them.
Those at the forefront were infected by the aberrations and directly became puppets, attacking their own people.
In less than fifteen minutes, out of more than a hundred people present, only a dozen remained.
At this time, Jian Chen quickly said, "Young Lady, quickly use the Mansion Lord's technique, otherwise, we will surely die!"
"Yes! Young Lady, please use it quickly!"
Everyone pleaded with Lu Zhu.
Lu Zhu, however, was extremely hesitant. Her father had left her a trace of the Immortal Emperor's power before his death.
But she did not want to use this power. Jian Chen's ambition was written all over his face, how could she not know?
She was not Jian Chen's match. If she used it here, Jian Chen would have almost no power to resist him if he decided to capture her.
However, if she didn't use it, everyone present, including herself, would die. Therefore, at this moment, she unleashed the last trace of power.
Instantly, a purple aura surged from the east. These aberrant puppets were instantly annihilated, but after annihilation, they revived again.
The characteristic of aberrations was to die and be reborn.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone fell into despair. Then, these aberrant puppets attacked, and in the blink of an eye, only three people remained.
"Escape!"
Jian Chen abandoned the other two and quickly fled.
Lu Zhu hurriedly pulled Yun Fan, about to flee with him. However, at this moment, the aberrations had already surrounded the two.
"It's over!"
Lu Zhu despaired, as in such a situation, wanting to escape was akin to talking nonsense. She could only blame the aberrations for being too terrifying.
However, when the aberrant energy and puppets attacked to within a hundred meters of the two, they no longer dared to advance.
Not only did they not dare to advance, but they were so scared that they retreated and vanished on the spot.
"What's going on?"
Not only Lu Zhu was stunned, but Yun Fan was also dumbfounded. Even he had despaired just now, as he did not know he was the bane of aberrations.
He never expected the crisis to pass so quickly, far exceeding his expectations.
At this time, Lu Zhu, who had narrowly escaped death, did not think further and quickly took Yun Fan away from the scene.
No one knew how long they ran before Lu Zhu finally put Yun Fan down, because she realized that Yun Fan could not endure prolonged travel in his current state.
Otherwise, he would fall apart!
At this moment, Lu Zhu asked Yun Fan, "Young Master, do you know what happened?"
Yun Fan shook his head, "I don't know, it was very strange!!"
"Mmm hmm!"
Lu Zhu said, "We'll set off again after resting!"
However, at this very moment, Jian Chen, who had returned, emerged from the shadows, revealing a greedy and playful smile.
