"I'll wait for you." Lin Fan looked forward to meeting his opponent. It had been a long time since he'd encountered a strong opponent, let alone sparred with one. Gradually, the light within the decree talisman receded and dissipated, slowly falling into Long Yuan's hand.
"That's it?" Long Yuan looked down at the decree talisman in his palm, his mind full of questions. His ancestor had descended, even if not in their true form, it wasn't something anyone could resist. But what was this?
Are you kidding me?
I had so much faith in you, yet you've hurt me like this. Honestly, if you weren't my ancestor, I'd really want to curse you out right now. Is this how you treat your descendants?
Didn't you see how lawless and arrogant I was earlier, relying on your presence?
I'm screwed.
Completely and utterly screwed.
"He's very strong," Lin Fan said, looking at Long Yuan and the others, praising the ancestral mighty figure.
Long Yuan's old face flushed red. Finally, he nodded.
"Yes, very strong."
What else could he do? He could only agree with Lin Fan's words. As for his previous desire to contend with Lin Fan, after seeing Lin Fan fight fiercely with his own ancestor, he no longer had any such thoughts.
He conceded.
He genuinely admitted defeat, without any other thoughts.
Lin Fan walked up to Long Yuan. The previous situation had given him a bad impression of Long Yuan, but after that ancestor allowed Lin Fan to experience the joy of battle, his view of Long Yuan changed slightly.
"Is he a relative of yours?"
Long Yuan, looking dejected, nodded silently. "Yes, he's my ancestor."
"I'm really looking forward to fighting your ancestor," Lin Fan said expectantly.
Just now, the other party hadn't descended in their true form, and their power was limited, unable to display their true strength. This was the only thing Lin Fan felt was a pity.
A truly exhilarating battle must be one where both sides display their true strength.
Mo Wu looked at Long Yuan with a hint of relief in his eyes.
In the end, only after experiencing a beating did one understand their own situation. No matter how arrogant Long Yuan had been at the beginning, even though he and Long Yuan were of similar strength, he couldn't say anything. After all, the other party had a powerful ancestor's tool. Being arrogant was quite normal.
"Was it you who made it suddenly snow in the city I was in?" Lin Fan asked.
Upon hearing this, Long Yuan's heart skipped a beat. If the other party knew that his original intention was to wipe out humanity, he would definitely be retaliated against. He quickly pretended not to know.
It wasn't me.
I didn't do anything.
You can't falsely accuse me!
I'm just a passerby, just arrived here, unfamiliar with the place. How could it have been me?
"Strange, then who was it? I could clearly feel it." Lin Fan pondered, lost in thought. For him, he had clearly felt that power, and it had just been disrupted. But the other party said it wasn't him, so he could only search elsewhere.
"Alright, goodbye."
He waved his hand and walked off in another direction.
Watching Lin Fan's departing figure, Long Yuan let out a sigh of relief, then muttered angrily:
"Arrogant rat, you've gone too far! When my ancestor arrives, I'll make you pay the price."
Behind the unwillingness, there was always seething rage.
Just as Mo Wu was about to say something…
Lin Fan appeared in front of them again.
Startled, Long Yuan quickly shut his mouth.
I didn't say anything.
And… your ears aren't that sharp, are they? You can even hear my quiet muttering?
Long Yuan secretly swore, I've already been humble enough. If you dare to humiliate me, I, Long Yuan, will fight you to the death, even if my blood stains the sky.
"Do you know where there are other strong individuals?"
"I can't sense their aura."
Lin Fan inquired.
Long Yuan shook his head. "I don't know."
"Alright, sorry to bother you." Lin Fan smiled, waved at them, and then left again.
Only now did Long Yuan truly understand the deep shadow the other party had left on his heart.
"Who is he?" Long Yuan looked at Mo Wu, asking pointedly.
Mo Wu said, "On this planet, he's the only strongest person I've encountered. Very strong, very powerful. I couldn't last long against him. Fortunately, he doesn't have much of a killer instinct, otherwise, do you think you'd still be alive?"
Hearing these words, Long Yuan gasped, his eyes turning serious. Encountering such a thing was indeed a big problem, but he firmly believed that once his ancestor arrived, they would definitely be able to crush the other party.
Deep in the starry sky…
The Dragon Clan, as a major power in the starry sky, controlled a vast expanse of the surrounding star domain.
At this moment, a dark yellow planet emitted a dazzling light. Immediately afterward, a stream of light rapidly shot out from within the planet, its terrifying power shaking the starry sky.
Countless powerful beings were startled.
"Where is he going?"
Many powerful beings were astonished. At their level, any action could cause a great stir, let alone leaving their cultivation grounds.
Lin Fan was strolling through the Changbai Mountains.
He was searching for strong opponents.
Long Yuan, afraid of being killed for telling the truth, could only say it wasn't him, leading Lin Fan to continue searching for the one who had caused such a thing.
But he didn't know…
Not long after he left Yanhai City, the strange phenomena in various cities had already disappeared.
As for One-Eye and the others, they just wanted to say that having Lin Fan around was truly great. Any trouble in front of him was not a problem, and everything was resolved so quickly and easily.
But why hadn't he returned yet?
One-Eye wasn't worried that something would happen to him. If it were before, he might have been a little worried, but now he had blind faith in him. With Lin Fan being so powerful, who could possibly harm him?
At this moment…
A group of members from a starry sky clan were wandering around the Changbai Mountains.
They ran head-on into Lin Fan.
These starry sky members, relying on their own strength, didn't take the local humans seriously at all. However, they knew of Lin Fan, a being that inspired fear.
"Stay calm, everyone stay calm. I've already inquired about the situation. He prefers polite people. As long as we don't act arrogant and are polite, there definitely won't be any problems."
"Really? Don't mess with us."
"Bullshit, do I look like I'm lying to you?"
"How should we be polite?"
"Treat him like your dad."
"Easy to understand, simple."
Lin Fan looked at this group of strangely dressed people, not too surprised. He had seen similar ones before. He just wanted to greet them, but thinking of some people's bad tempers, he didn't take the initiative.
Don't think that just because Lin Fan didn't act, nothing happened.
They had already received the latest news.
How could they still be like before?
"Hello."
A member of the starry sky clan bowed low, his attitude excellent, a smile blooming on his face like a flower, perfectly expressing friendliness.
"Hello," Lin Fan smiled.
When everyone stood in front of Lin Fan, they appeared somewhat restrained.
This wasn't their true nature. Their true nature was very domineering. When encountering local humans, they were always quite arrogant. But when encountering someone like Lin Fan, they were as docile as children.
They had no thought of resistance.
Lin Fan asked, "Do you know where there are any strong individuals?"
"No."
How could they know where the strong individuals were? For them, their only hope was to retreat quickly and not think about anything else. Thinking too much was a sin.
"Alright." Lin Fan smiled.
When the starry sky members saw this smile, their hearts panicked a little. It was too terrifying. For some reason, it always gave them a sinister feeling.
"Big brother, is there anything else?" one member asked.
His manner was very respectful.
His attitude couldn't be better.
"Nothing else." Lin Fan shook his head.
A member said, "Big Brother, if you don't have anything else, we'll take our leave. We have some matters to attend to."
Lin Fan smiled, "Alright, go ahead. We'll meet again when the opportunity arises."
Soon, Lin Fan walked forward.
"You were so subservient just now."
"Bullshit, what do you mean subservient? I was being friendly."
"Besides, didn't we already agree to treat him like our father? I did just that."
Hearing this, the group burst into laughter and left.
They had arrived on this planet full of excitement, ready to search for treasures, but the situation wasn't what they had imagined. They encountered difficult opponents, and most importantly, Changbai Mountain wasn't safe. Some beings here were dangerous.
No weaker than them.
After a long while, Lin Fan stopped and saw a figure appear.
"Haven't we met somewhere before?"
Demon God Sister appeared before him. She was about to greet Lin Fan, but his words stopped her in her tracks.
A bit excessive.
"What do you think?" Demon God Sister retorted.
He had tricked her so badly before, and now he pretended to forget. It was truly infuriating.
Look... he was even lowering his head in thought, acting like he was really trying to remember. It was enough to make one explode.
Lin Fan shook his head. "I don't have any impression. Judging by your tone, you seem to know me, so we must have met before. But I don't remember. I apologize for this. I'm really sorry. Could you introduce yourself?"
He spoke impeccably.
Lin Fan's expression was serious and polite. He didn't want any misunderstandings to arise from this.
Often, many problems stemmed from a lack of communication.
Now, he wanted to avoid such issues if possible.
Demon God Sister took a deep breath, composed herself, and smiled.
"Introductions aren't necessary. Do you remember my face now?"
A hidden dagger behind a smile. A woman's words are the least trustworthy.
If a veteran in romance were here, he would definitely sense something amiss and then coax her with sweet words.
"Let me take a few more looks, in case I forget again after a while." Lin Fan was a bit embarrassed. It was indeed his fault. The dream had been long, and people he wasn't very familiar with had become strangers. This person with a smile on her face clearly seemed friendly, yet he had forgotten her. He really shouldn't have.
Demon God Sister clenched her fists.
She wanted to punch him.
His words were truly cutting.
Why hadn't she noticed before how irritating this guy's words could be?
"Really? It's normal to forget things. After all, I'm not as beautiful as the women around you, right?" Demon God Sister said.
Lin Fan replied, "Well, my wife is very beautiful. Even if I haven't seen her for a long time, I wouldn't forget her."
Demon God Sister wanted to slap herself. She really shouldn't have said that.
She had been in a good mood, and she just had to ruin it for herself.
However, Demon God Sister came to find Lin Fan because she needed his help. She had stayed in Changbai Mountain for a long time and hadn't returned because she hoped to obtain certain items.
"Can you do me a favor?" Demon God Sister asked.
Lin Fan smiled. "Of course, I love helping others."
"Follow me."
He followed Demon God Sister deep into the mountain. It was a difficult path, covered with thorny plants. Most ordinary people would avoid this route.
Soon, they arrived at an opening that was clearly man-made, but the entrance was sealed by a giant stone.
"This isn't an ordinary stone door," Lin Fan said.
He could sense a surprising power contained within the stone door.
Two human figures were carved on the door.
The mighty gods of ancient mythology.
It was as if two mighty gods were suppressing this stone door. Demon God Sister couldn't lift it at all; the difference in strength was too great.
"Can you help me lift the stone door?" Demon God Sister asked.
Her plan was simple: Lin Fan would hold the door for her while she went inside, and he would wait until she came out.
"I'll try," Lin Fan said.
He grabbed the base of the stone door and exerted his strength. Cracking sounds echoed, and under Demon God Sister's expectant gaze, the stone door was actually lifted.
"It's so heavy. I've never lifted anything this heavy before. But luckily, I'm quite strong," Lin Fan said.
Demon God Sister was eager to try. "Hold it for me. I'll be in and out quickly."
Then, she swiftly rushed inside. The opportunity was rare, and she trusted Lin Fan. This guy gave her a strange feeling, unlike those treacherous fellows.
A sense of security.
Something many women longed for.
Not long after, Demon God Sister ran out of the cave, covered in dust.
Her expression was filled with disappointment.
As if she had seen a ghost, her spirits were low.
Lin Fan asked, "Did you find what you were looking for?"
"No, there's danger inside. I couldn't get close," Demon God Sister said.
She was very unwilling.
She had come this far, only to be blocked. It was truly disheartening.
Lin Fan said, "I can help you."
Demon God Sister looked at Lin Fan. What he said made sense, but...
"If you go in, what about the door? Once inside, the door will merge with the ground, leaving no gap at all."
Lin Fan said, "I can break the door."
"That's too risky," Demon God Sister thought. What if he couldn't break it?
"Is that so?" Lin Fan thought for a moment, looked at the stone door, then exerted his force. With a grunt, the surroundings trembled, and under Demon God Sister's shocked gaze, he directly ripped the stone door off its frame.
"Is this alright?"
He considered these things trivial matters.
Nothing to be troubled about.
Demon God Sister was dumbfounded. Perhaps with great strength, one could truly do anything.
"Yes, it's alright."
She could only tell Lin Fan that he was truly amazing, and she was completely awestruck.
Demon God Sister stood at the entrance, gazing at the surrounding scenery.
Sighing in her heart.
It was indeed an extraordinary place.
One mountain with four seasons, ten miles with different skies.
This saying perfectly described Changbai Mountain.
A place of legends, how could it be ordinary?
"Let's go in."
The cave was unremarkable, and if one listened carefully, one could hear the dripping of water.
Drip!
Drip!
"Up ahead is where I couldn't go," Demon God Sister said. "There's danger there."
When they reached the spot, they saw a ball of light floating in the air.
Sensing the arrival of Lin Fan and Demon God Sister, the ball of light transformed, condensing into a long blade. A terrifying pressure bore down on them, but it didn't strike immediately, clearly giving the intruders a chance to escape.
As long as they left, they would be safe.
"Be careful, this is very dangerous. I can sense the power contained within it. It's terrifying. I don't know who left it behind, but after such a long time, it still possesses such terrifying power. It's truly frightening," Demon God Sister warned.
During her long stay in Changbai Mountain, this was her only discovery.
No one knew how much effort and energy she had spent searching for this place.
"It's alright, I can handle it."
Lin Fan and Demon God Sister didn't leave. The condensed long blade slashed down, incredibly sharp, definitely not as simple as it seemed. Even a Saint Realm expert would be defeated, if not killed, by this terrifying strike.
At this moment, Lin Fan raised his hand and caught the long blade.
A wave of impact pressed down, but it quickly dissipated.
The long blade shattered, turning into specks of starlight that vanished without a trace.
"See? Wasn't that easy?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Demon God Sister remained speechless.
She was convinced.
