Chapter 101: The Flame Emperor, Universe and Stellar Transformation, Shocking the Protagonist! (Part 1)
Lin Fan was speechless.
"Fortunately, there is still room for maneuver. At the very least, I've basically figured out what template this Young Prince is following."
"With this, the success rate of resolving this matter should be quite high."
Lin Fan pondered.
Seeing the Young Prince's panic, Lian Bo smiled slightly and said, "Young Prince, you've done very well. These days, whenever the Prince mentions you, he's all smiles and very happy."
"He's aware of everything you've done."
"I believe that in the Prince's heart, you are not the useless person that others see, but rather his equally beloved third son and one of the people he cherishes the most."
"So, Young Prince, you need not worry."
The young assassin gradually calmed down, but his eyebrows remained furrowed, and he didn't relax for a long time.
"Sigh."
In the end, he said, "Forget it."
"Let's go, Lian Bo."
"This place is too far from our royal residence, and it would be too hasty to send troops rashly. Moreover, I'm fine, so let's just leave."
"As for Moonseizing Sect..."
"We have no grudges between us. The reason they captured me is because I made the first move."
"It's better to resolve grudges than to create them."
"There was no direct grudge between us, but we crossed paths because I accepted the assassination mission. This time, I've also received the punishment I deserved."
"How about we let this matter go, Lin Zongzhu?"
The young assassin looked at Lin Fan.
Lian Bo coldly snorted, "You're not letting him go?"
Jin Zhen looked at Lin Fan.
The latter nodded slightly.
Although his cultivation was stronger, he was still an outsider, so he followed the host's lead and released the young assassin from his restraints, restoring his freedom.
"Lian Bo, let's go."
The young assassin was about to leave.
However, Lian Bo remained unmoved and asked, "I wonder who the Young Master's target is?"
The young man was startled.
Xiao Ling'er frowned. Although she didn't know what was happening, she was certain that the young man before her was the assassin who had tried to kill her!
And this Great Power meant to take action personally?
She didn't panic, but she had already prepared for everything in secret. Yao Mu had also brought everything to its peak, and even made preparations for a deep slumber!
Seeing this, Lin Fan stepped forward and spoke slowly.
"Although you are strong, you are not invincible."
"Your Young Prince tried to assassinate my disciple. Even without any grudges, it's still unreasonable. You should be grateful that my disciple is unharmed. Otherwise, in the instant they saw him, he would already be a corpse!"
"And at this moment, if you dare to make a move, I'll ensure that you two won't return. If you don't believe me, feel free to try."
In an instant, Xiao Ling'er raised her head, and Master... was willing to offend a Seventh Realm Great Power and their backing for her sake?!
At this moment, she looked at Lin Fan's back, and her eyes were slightly blurred.
Lin Fan didn't release his aura.
On the surface, it seemed like an empty threat.
But in reality, Lin Fan had this confidence!
With Jin Zhen present, even if he wasn't a match for Lian Bo, he could still hold his ground.
Xiao Ling'er was willing to take the risk, or rather, the old gentleman in the necklace could also unleash Seventh Realm battle prowess in a short time if he fought with all his might!
Furthermore...
There were many Sixth Realm experts from the Liu Family here, and the teleportation array was still functional.
If a battle were to break out, the Liu Family could still gather their forces.
And as for himself...
Although he didn't want to fight, he also didn't want to reveal himself.
But if it came down to it, he wouldn't hold back.
When the time came for battle, he didn't believe that Lian Bo could return unscathed!
The young assassin, the Young Prince?
They would both die! Although it would be troublesome afterward, it didn't mean that he had to endure it.
Or...
If it were someone else, Lin Fan might tolerate it.
But he wanted to kill Xiao Ling'er to complete the mission...
How could this be tolerated!
"Fellow Daoist."
Although Jin Zhen knew he was no match, he wasn't overly afraid and coldly snorted, "You're out of line!"
Lian Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, "Oh?"
"I don't think so."
A gust of wind blew.
The atmosphere became extremely tense.
A battle seemed imminent.
"Lian Bo!"
The young assassin felt embarrassed and said, "Let's go, is this really necessary?"
"Wait."
Lin Fan stopped them, "Your Young Prince tried to assassinate my disciple first. I'm here to seek justice."
"You came to demand his release without investigating the situation, breaking our sect's formation, and now you want to leave just like that?"
"..."
The young assassin was shocked.
He couldn't understand why Lin Zongzhu, a Fourth Realm cultivator, was so stubborn.
He was well aware of Lian Bo's strength and temperament, and he became even more worried.
"Hmm?!"
Just as he was about to speak, Lian Bo frowned and then stared at Lin Fan, "Fine, I'll compensate!"
He threw out a storage bag, his face cold, "The resources inside are enough for you to set up a better Clan Protection Array. The excess can be considered compensation!"
It was difficult for him to utter the words "compensation."
"Anything else?"
Lin Fan took the storage bag.
But he still didn't let them leave.
Lian Bo frowned, "Don't make a mistake!"
"Are you his master or his servant?"
Lin Fan chuckled and pointed at Lian Bo, then at the young man.
"Of course, it's my Young Prince."
Lian Bo said, "Lin Zongzhu."
The young assassin bowed to Lin Fan, "My name is Qin Yu."
"I don't know what you want to teach me, but please feel free to speak."
Lin Fan said, "..."
Damn!
As expected, not only were their experiences, identities, and backgrounds similar, but even their names sounded the same.
"I understand you very well."
"In fact, better than you understand yourself."
Lin Fan smiled, "From what I've seen, you're a straightforward and reasonable person."
"I'll give you an opportunity."
"Make a Heavenly Dao Vow not to harm anyone from Moonseizing Sect, then stay here temporarily!"
"Here, you can achieve your heart's desire, gain the recognition of the person you truly care about, shed the label of a useless cultivator, and truly embark on the path of immortality.
"Enough said."
"How you choose is up to your own decision."
Lian Bo’s brows furrowed deeply.
To poach from their own Young Prince? How could this be?
Qin Yu was startled, his first reaction being disbelief.
But as he recalled how Lin Fan had continuously revealed his secrets, he felt that there might indeed be a possibility.
After all, it didn’t seem like some so-called 'mind-reading technique'!
Moreover, as a killer, he had always been trained in this aspect to prevent secrets from being leaked if captured.
Yet, Lin Fan was able to discern his secrets with only Fourth Stage cultivation.
Especially his years of desperate effort, all for the sake of earning his father’s recognition!
Others, even Lian Bo, thought he was trying to rid himself of the label of being a failure and become a powerhouse.
Only he knew that his desperate efforts were all for his father’s recognition.
How could this Lin Sect Leader know about it?
"Little Prince."
Lian Bo now interjected, "Don’t believe this man’s nonsense. The Prince has sought renowned scholars throughout the realm and even they have been at a loss. This man is just a Fourth Stage cultivator, the leader of a minor third-rate sect. How could he possibly have such means?"
Qin Yu did not respond.
Rationality told him that Lian Bo was right.
But...
There seemed to be a voice in his heart, constantly telling him that if he didn’t stay at the Moonseizing Sect, he might regret it!
For a moment, he hesitated.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth, "Lian Bo, I want to try!"
"..."
"Little Prince."
"Lian Bo!"
"I understand," Lian Bo sighed, "Little Prince, if that’s the case, you can stay at the Moonseizing Sect for now."
"But..."
"If anything happens to you at the Moonseizing Sect, it will no longer exist."
"Not a single soul will be spared!"
"On the contrary, if you succeed, the Moonseizing Sect will rise to glory."
"There’s no need for threats," Lin Fan looked at him, unafraid, "because you won’t have the chance!"
"That’s the best outcome."
Since the Little Prince wanted to stay, Lian Bo naturally couldn’t make things too difficult. After issuing a warning, he slowly retreated behind Qin Yu.
"Little Prince."
"You should go back first."
Qin Yu said, "Remember to tell Father to withdraw the army. There’s no need for such a large-scale operation for me."
"I also trust that Sect Leader Lin hasn’t deceived me."
"In the future..."
"Perhaps I really can recover."
"The army will withdraw, but I’ll stay nearby."
"Just in case."
The master and servant were arguing.
Lin Fan, however, ignored them.
Stay?
Better if he stays.
Safer!
But now wasn’t the time to watch them bicker.
Lin Fan smiled, "You two should step aside and talk. I have things to attend to.
Lian Bo frowned, taken aback.
Then he saw a sword light tear through the galaxy, roaring towards them.
The Spirit Sword Sect had arrived.
The Sword Son landed with ease, even more formidable than a year ago!
His sword aura was like an unsheathed immortal sword, capable of cutting through everything.
His sword intent was concentrated and didn’t dissipate. If one were to observe with divine sense, it would be hard to tell if he was a sword or a person.
He nodded to Lin Fan, then looked at Xiao Ling'er, tilting his chin towards the sky.
Xiao Ling'er said nothing.
She took to the air.
The Sword Son followed closely, and the two tore through the sky, clashing in the heights!
Rumble!
Soon, the battle erupted, and the roar of the clash echoed continuously. Sword qi surged, sword intent permeated, and the space seemed to turn into a vast ocean of sword qi.
Lian Bo saw this and couldn’t help but frown, inwardly realizing he had made a mistake!
Earlier, he had agreed to ‘compensation’ so quickly because he sensed a Great Power breaking through the void!
And there were two of them!
He thought they were Lin Fan’s reinforcements, which was why Lin Fan had such confidence. Therefore, he didn’t want to cause more trouble and planned to leave after compensating for the formation’s cost.
But now it turned out...
It was a misunderstanding!
These two weren’t reinforcements for the Moonseizing Sect; they seemed more like troublemakers.
If he had known this earlier, he...
He shook his head, smiled helplessly, and looked at Qin Yu.
He saw Qin Yu looking up at the sky, closely following the battle, his eyes filled with envy.
Though his combat strength was greater, he was still very envious.
The means of immortal cultivators...
Lian Bo didn’t say anything more, just watching quietly.
But after a few exchanges, he was surprised and whispered, "Does the Moonseizing Sect still have the essence of its past?"
"The strength of this young girl, and the combat power she unleashes, is on par with Sacred Sons and Sacred Daughters!"
Such talent and strength were rare even in top-tier sects, let alone holy lands.
The final outcome of the battle was even more surprising.
Xiao Ling'er won!
The Spirit Sword Sect Sword Son was defeated.
Though Xiao Ling'er looked no less strained, a win was a win!
This made Lian Bo view the Moonseizing Sect and Lin Fan in a much higher light.
To cultivate such a disciple, even if it was due to Xiao Ling'er’s own talent, it must have been related to their cultivation methods.
Perhaps...
This seemingly ordinary third-rate sect really could cure the Little Prince?
Thinking of this, his heart tightened.
He inwardly warned himself to be more respectful to the Moonseizing Sect and Lin Fan in the future.
...
"Ha ha ha!"
The Sword Son, despite losing, was not disheartened. Instead, he laughed heartily, "Xiao Ling'er, you truly are the opponent I’ve been most looking forward to!"
"This past year, I’ve trained hard at the Spirit Sword Sect, defeating countless geniuses, even those a major stage above me."
"Only you can match me at the same stage, and fight with such intensity, even causing my defeat."
"Refreshing!"
"Refreshing!"
"Next year, we’ll battle again."
"Ha ha ha!!!"
Though defeated, it did not affect his belief or Dao heart.
Instead, it made his belief even stronger and his sword intent purer and more solid.
The more setbacks, the braver he became!
"Having an opponent like you is also a blessing for me."
Xiao Ling'er was also smiling.
Having such an opponent was a blessing in life.
It could drive her to make great strides forward.
But...
If you were a bit stronger, it would be even better.
Although no one noticed, he had left a hint.
Xiao Ling'er understood.
He had to leave a hint for the Sword Son to see.
Otherwise, the Moonseizing Sect would be in great trouble.
But leaving a hint meant he couldn’t exert his full strength, making the battle less challenging, but it was still a decent opponent, at least on par with each other.
He had to use about seventy to eighty percent of his strength to defeat him.
However, if next year he could force out eighty to ninety percent, or even a hundred percent of his strength, that would be even better, and further motivate himself.
...
Rrip!
The sword light tore through the void. The two great powers of the Spirit Sword Sect acted together, swiftly taking the Sword Son away.
On the way, the two exchanged a glance, their faces heavy with concern.
"The Moonseizing Sect actually found two great powers to sit in, and one of them is even at a higher realm than you and me! How could this small Moonseizing Sect manage to do this?"
They were puzzled, very confused, and somewhat shocked.
A great power, even in a top-notch sect, had a high status! With more strength, he could at least mix with the elders, or even a real elder.
He, a small Moonseizing Sect, would struggle to gather ten cultivators above the Fourth Firmament Realm, so how could they invite two great powers, one of whom even surpasses the two of us?
"One of them is the Fire Virtue sect’s Great Elder, Jin Zhen, the other, I have no impression of at all."
"I don’t recognize this person either!"
"How could they silently arrange this, the Moonseizing Sect, could they truly be aiming to return to the peak?"
At that moment, this thought rose in their hearts.
But soon, they shook their heads with a smile.
"You and I are too sensitive."
"Although this matter is quite difficult, but in the end, it’s nothing. Striking iron requires the iron to be hard. To return to the peak is not as simple as this."
"However, in the future, we should be more cautious."
They thought of something!
Following the original plan, once the Sword Son won, the two of them would make their move, immediately wiping out the Moonseizing Sect.
But...
If the Sword Son had won just now, would the two of them have made their move?
What if they couldn’t handle it?
Would they be counter-killed?
Although logically, Jin Zhen would never dare to kill a Spirit Sword Sect elder, and that unknown great power likely would not have the nerve either, but what if?
Would the two of them be stuck here?
Or flee with severe injuries?
"..."
Next year, they should make more preparations!
...
The crisis gradually subsided.
As the hour of Zi arrived, marking the end of the day, Lin Fan finally relaxed.
"Damn, so perverse."
When alone, he couldn’t resist complaining.
It was truly perverse!
An annual mini-crisis, and this was only the second year, yet great powers kept jumping out, especially Lian Bo from the Qin Yu family, who was even more amazing!
"Although there were no casualties, the Clan Protection Array is gone again!"
"This took a massive bloodletting from the Lian Family to pull off."
"Fortunately, I made that Lian Bo compensate the elders, or the Lian Family would cry."
"Additionally, this year’s reward..."
"Not bad, not bad, it’s coming true soon!"
Crisis and rewards coexisted.
Surviving a crisis should come with a reward.
Clearly, Qin Yu was one of them.
And his template should be that Primordial Universe Overlord!
A true big-shot, once he grows to the peak, everything in the universe would be under his control, even reversing time and space would be effortless!
However, it wasn’t stable yet!
The meat was already at the mouth, whether he could eat it depended on his own moves.
Moreover, he had killed Xiao Ling'er, and if he mishandled, Xiao Ling'er might bear a grudge.
"Comforting Xiao Ling'er isn’t hard, if I can recruit Qin Yu, making him compensate would be the key."
"But with Qin Yu, to make him loyal, I need to show him the real thing!"
"Also, in three days, it’s the grand opening of the sect for new disciples, preparations have to be made."
"The formations need quick fixes, otherwise, the security would be insufficient."
"Fortunately, I don’t need to do much of these things, the elders will arrange them properly."
Qin Yu’s character was excellent. Although there had been conflicts earlier, fortunately, no harm was done, so it wasn’t entirely irreconcilable.
As for recruiting ordinary inner and outer sect disciples, Lin Fan didn’t have to personally oversee it. If he did everything himself, what would the sect and elders be for?
Moreover, with the iron laws for recruiting disciples he had written, they shouldn’t miss the protagonist template.
Thus, he didn’t have to worry about that.
"But first, let’s get Qin Yu."
"However, I can’t hand him the Golden Finger, only..."
"Let’s take the path like YaYa."
Lin Fan thought it through and realized he could only do that.
After all, his Golden Finger couldn’t ‘intuitively’ help others, he had to use his mind.
Otherwise, directly pulling out the cultivation technique Stellar Transformation and slapping it in his face: “Come, cultivate according to this. What can’t open the Mystic Gate? This isn’t your flaw, but your fortune!”
Would Qin Yu cry his eyes out directly?
Unfortunately...
No.
So, he could only settle for the next best.
"Pen and paper again~!"
This guy smiled slightly, once again using his divine sense to control hundreds of pens and papers, writing wildly.
"Speaking of which, I’m getting more familiar with this operation."
Lin Fan stroked his chin, writing with his divine sense while speaking: “Regarding the posture of the Great Emperor, I only proposed a theory for him to research, but according to him, he’s been consistently improving.”
“YaYa did see some progress, but I feel she should have some enlightenment.”
“Xiao Ling'er has yet to read Flame Emperor.”
“However, Qin Yu~ must have time to read this Universe and Stellar Transformation.”
“Mm...”
“After writing, hand it over to him directly.”
...
Meanwhile, Lin Fan also ‘divided his divine sense’ and communicated with Xiao Ling'er.
No hiding, he went straight to the point.
"Set aside Qin Yu for now, do you blame the Master?"
Xiao Ling'er was alarmed: "Master, why do you say this?"
"Master, you must have your reasons, besides, although the disciple faced danger earlier, he wasn’t injured, and he has already been beaten half to death, and sworn to never harm the disciple or sect members again.
