Chapter 468: Fishing for Trouble! The Fangcun Mountain of Xiniu Hezhou? (Part 1)

Qin Yu's eyes burned with fury.

Never before had he felt such intense hatred towards himself for his powerlessness.

But he couldn't afford to act on impulse.

He knew that if he made a move, all his fellow disciples, brothers, and sisters would be moved, and even his master might join the fight. However, if that happened, it would be like dooming everyone.

They would all die!

Jiang Li...

Would still be taken away!

"Good!"

He gritted his teeth and replied, "Wait for me."

"One day, I will come to the Divine Realm to bring you back!"

"And me," Jiang Ni added through clenched teeth, "Sister."

"Count me in," Xiao Ling'er said, her eyes filled with unwavering fighting spirit.

"And us too!" Ya Ya and the others chimed in unison.

They...

Were all furious.

Although their bond with Jiang Li wasn't as strong as Qin Yu's, they were still fellow disciples, their own people. Now, seeing him taken away by force, they felt helpless, and Jiang Li had to resort to threatening his life...

This humiliation wasn't something only Qin Yu could relate to.

They were equally enraged!

"You sure are brave," the Divine Realm youth laughed. "Are you not afraid I'll kill you all here?"

"You..."

Lin Fan fixed his gaze on him, his eyes narrowing slightly. "You're giving us a headache."

"Oh? You're not afraid?"

He was surprised.

Lin Fan remained silent.

"..."

"Boring."

"Let's go."

In the end, the Divine Realm youth didn't make a move. Instead, he waved his hand, and Jiang Li was lifted into the air.

Boom!

The 'Rainbow Bridge' descended from the sky, and the two of them disappeared.

Qin Yu stood in place, staring at the direction where the Rainbow Bridge had vanished, for a long, long time.

None of the others moved or spoke.

Lin Fan was the same, but his mind was filled with countless thoughts.

"In the end... it still came to this?"

"I thought that with my appearance, the 'plot' would change, but I never expected that in the end, it would still be mostly the same, with only minor details altered."

"Is this what they call the convergence of world lines?"

"But..."

"This is probably for the best."

He sighed inwardly.

Partings, especially forced ones like this, were always a blow to Qin Yu and all the disciples.

However, sometimes these blows weren't necessarily bad.

At least in the case of Star Transformation, if Jiang Li hadn't left, if they hadn't experienced this parting, Qin Yu's eventual achievements might have been much lower.

After all...

When you look at the latter parts of Star Transformation, it's mostly about Qin Yu's efforts to find his wife.

As for Xiao Ling'er and the others...

For them, the feeling of their junior sister and senior sister being taken away by force and their inability to do anything about it would leave a lasting impression.

In their future cultivation, they would strive even harder!

Emmm...

So, strictly speaking, if you ignore Qin Yu and Jiang Li's longing for each other, this is actually a good thing?

"Qin Yu."

Lin Fan finally spoke, intending to console him.

But Qin Yu turned around, and in his reddened eyes, there was no longer anger, only a determined look of not giving up, "Master, you don't need to say more. I understand."

"I..."

"I will definitely bring her back!"

"Just like..."

"Qin Yu."

He had read Star Transformation.

Actually...

He had already anticipated this.

But he had been deceiving himself, unwilling to believe it.

And when this moment finally arrived, he realized that even with his prior knowledge and mental preparation, he couldn't face it calmly.

His earlier display wasn't an act.

At the same time, he was even more shocked by the profound depth of his master's foresight.

It was so accurate...

That he had 'predicted' his entire life!

So, if this was the case, as long as he, like the Qin Yu in the story, fought hard for his beloved, one day, he would also be able to bring Jiang Li back.

And perhaps...

Even become the so-called controller of the Hongmeng Universe!

"Life is full of imperfections, and there are always things beyond our control."

"This parting is also a preparation for our next reunion."

"Work hard, young man... oh, you're no longer a youth, but the meaning is similar."

Lin Fan smiled helplessly.

"And you all, including me, are in the same situation."

"The Immortal Realm is a completely new environment, and we know almost nothing about it."

"The road ahead is long, and there are many things waiting for us, so..."

"Let's fight together."

The disciples' hearts surged with emotion, "Let's fight together!"

But...

Long Ao Jiao rolled her eyes, "I'm not trying to dampen your spirits, but with our people taken away, what are we doing here, deceiving ourselves?"

"Moreover, have you figured out how to leave the Sword Aura Great Wall yet?"

"The road ahead is long, and we still have a lot to do."

"I'm asking how long you plan to keep us here?"

Lin Fan was speechless, "If you don't want to ruin the mood, people won't think you're mute."

He replied irritably, "And do you not have eyes? We've already left the Sword Aura Great Wall. This place should be within the Three Thousand Continents."

"If you want to venture out on your own, you can leave now!"

"If you want to stay for now, then watch and do more, and talk less!"

Then, Lin Fan turned to Ji Chitong, "Right now, we know too little about the Upper Realm. So, don't be in a hurry to leave."

"At least wait until we've settled down and you have a basic understanding of the Immortal Realm before you go."

Ji Chitong nodded in agreement, "Okay."

She wasn't as 'rebellious' as Long Ao Jiao.

"Hmph!"

"I won't leave just yet either."

"I want to see what tricks you can pull off."

Long Ao Jiao was very arrogant...

But she wasn't stupid.

In this unfamiliar place, and since she hadn't ascended but had 'sneaked' in, strictly speaking, her strength was still a bit lacking compared to those in the Upper Realm.

Still, it's better to follow the main group for a while.

Once my strength improves, I can go out and show off later.

"However, you're quite lucky. You've turned a disaster into a blessing and left the Sword Aura Great Wall ahead of time."

Long Ao Jiao surveyed the surrounding scenery...

But there wasn't much to see.

It was a desolate land, devoid of human life, and even the birds didn't leave their droppings.

However, even in such a place, it was filled with 'Immortal Qi'.

Taking a breath, one's heart felt refreshed.

"Let's choose a direction and move forward." Lin Fan thought, "We must first find a few 'living people' to gather information."

"Then let's go."

Long Ao Jiao hummed, "Speaking of which, the Immortal World is indeed amazing. Even in such a desolate place, there's Immortal Qi. Don't people in the Immortal World live for several hundred or even a thousand years?"

"That's normal."

Fan Jianqiang retorted, "Why else would it be called the Immortal World?"

Long Ao Jiao became angry, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

"Aren't you the same?"

"You damn...!"

Amidst the commotion, the group embarked on a new journey.

Chen Bei also became more lively.

Although there was still no sign of his memory returning, at least he got along well with his senior brothers and sisters. As for the lost memories, there was no rush.

It's not like they could find memories in this desolate place, right?

How could they possibly find anything here!

...

Not long after they set off, Lin Fan spoke, "When I soul-searched the one who wanted to possess my woman, I obtained some information related to the Immortal World from her."

"I think the most notable thing is that the Immortal World also has the Heavenly Mechanism Tower."

"Moreover, the rules are the same as the Immortal Martial Continent's Heavenly Mechanism Tower. It seems that the predecessors from the lower world's Heavenly Mechanism Tower ascended and established it here."

"Although the prestige isn't as high as the Immortal Martial Continent, their information is quite well-informed and reliable."

"So, I plan to visit the Heavenly Mechanism Tower first."

"But the prerequisite is still to encounter living people, and living people with cultivation."

"The Immortal World is vast. Even within the range of the Three Thousand Continents, any single continent is many times larger than the Immortal Martial Continent. Without asking for directions from living people or having a map, it would be difficult for us to find the Heavenly Mechanism Tower."

"Duh?"

Long Ao Jiao couldn't help but retort, "Who doesn't know that?"

"And it's not just me saying this, but even after soul-searching, you still managed to miss this information. If it were me, humph, I'd definitely have it all figured out!"

Unfortunately, no one paid her any attention.

Who didn't know she loved to brag?

Soul-searching causes significant damage to the divine soul of the one being searched. It's already good enough to obtain important information within a limited time; how could she expect to receive the other party's entire memory?

She's dreaming! Chen Bei, however, found Long Ao Jiao quite interesting and happily approached her to chat.

Long Ao Jiao was also pleased to have Chen Bei as a 'little brother'.

Lin Fan, Fan Jianqiang, and Xiao Ling'er didn't cooperate at all.

How could she show off without their cooperation?!

Newbies are better! Newbies triumph over the old~!

However!

Before she could start showing off, she heard Lin Fan say, "Finding people isn't difficult. As long as we leave this desolate area, we should be able to find living people soon. Even if they're just ordinary people, they must know the location of towns. With more people, gathering information will be easier."

"But the problem now is that we've just arrived, and we don't have any money from the Immortal World."

"The Heavenly Mechanism Tower isn't cheap. Without money, how can we ask for their help?"

"So..."

"I have a way."

Long Ao Jiao interrupted, "What method is needed for this?"

"Rob them!"

"Just rob whoever we don't like!"

Lin Fan nodded, "I was thinking the same."

Everyone was stunned, "Huh?!"

Long Ao Jiao was also taken aback.

This damn...

Did I hear that wrong?

Did those words come out of his mouth?

Just as they were confused, they heard Lin Fan continue, "However, robbing people without reason isn't very nice."

"So, I think we should do this..."

Lin Fan shook his head and spoke in a low voice, explaining his plan...

"This is outrageous!"

Long Ao Jiao stomped her feet and shouted, her saliva flying, "This is intolerable!"

"How could I do such a thing?!"

"Moreover, isn't Xiao Ling'er a woman? Isn't Ya Ya a woman? Huo Yun'er, Huo Ling'er... Who isn't a woman?"

"Even if we have to do this, why should I be the bait?!"

Lin Fan looked at Ling'er.

The latter understood and coughed, "Ahem."

"Actually..."

"I also want to help, but as bait? I don't mind, but..."

"Looking at all the women here, who has the charm to surpass you, Ao Jiao?"

"Indeed."

Ji Chitong quickly added, "Your beauty is unparalleled, and your figure is also so impressive."

"Even your clothing is much more beautiful than ours."

"We..."

"We really don't have the qualifications to compete with you."

"Huh?!"

Upon hearing their words, Long Ao Jiao immediately became angry.

Her mouth was harder to control than an AK-47.

But showing off was a must.

"Hmph..."

She folded her arms and hummed, "You do have some self-awareness."

"In terms of looks, figure, temperament, and fashion sense, who can compare to me?"

"When I was a man, I dominated the world."

"Even though I was deceived, I can only temporarily appear as a woman now. I, Long Ao Jiao, can still astonish the world."

"Hmph~!"

Long Ao Jiao looked around at everyone, her pride and arrogance reaching their peak, "Considering you all are so sensible and self-aware..."

"I'll reluctantly agree."

Fan Jianqiang immediately clapped, "You're right!"

Everyone laughed, "Ao Jiao is invincible!

"Long Ao Jiao is a beauty beyond compare, with a peerless appearance and a beauty unmatched in the world."

"Yes, yes, there's no one like Long Ao Jiao in the world!"

The crowd chimed in, showering her with compliments.

Long Ao Jiao's anger dissipated, and a confident and proud expression appeared on her face uncontrollably.

"Enough!"

"Stop flattering me."

"What you're saying, who doesn't know that?"

"Yes, yes, you're right."

The crowd couldn't help but laugh.

The tension was almost unbearable...

Even the sorrow of Jiang Li's departure was greatly diminished.

...

Finally, they exited the desolate area.

With a stunning appearance, a graceful figure, and a white silk miniskirt, a pitiful-looking loli walked alone in the mountains.

With each step, her delicate and weak demeanor evoked a sense of pity.

Just a glance was enough to make one want to embrace her and protect her tenderly.

She continued her journey.

When hungry, she ate her packed food, and when thirsty, she drank from the mountain springs. When tired, she would find a tree to lean against and rest.

One day... two days...

Finally, on this day, she reached a hill.

As she was about to climb over the mountain, several figures suddenly darted out from the dense forest.

"Oh my!"

"Such a beautiful little lady."

"Tsk tsk tsk, with cultivation, yet acting so pitiful?"

"She's at the Ninth Stage, what's she up to?"

"Is she hiding from enemies? I'm making me wait. If I play along, they'll take care of my enemies. I might as well enjoy myself with them."

"Don't refuse a good offer!"

The group consisted of five men, each more rugged than the last, four of them with thick beards.

The fifth one was beardless, but his entire head was hairless, giving him an exceptionally fierce appearance.

They surrounded Long Ao Jiao, each taking turns to tease her.

But they were also keen observers! Even with Long Ao Jiao's excellent acting, she couldn't escape their scrutiny.

Not only did they see through her strength, but they also searched the surroundings and confirmed she was alone before intercepting her.

"You... who are you?"

Long Ao Jiao's face changed, and she tensed up, wanting to retreat.

But the five men had already surrounded her, leaving her nowhere to retreat.

In an instant, her face turned even paler.

"Who are we? We're good people, of course!"

"We'll make you feel good from head to toe!"

"Not bad!"

"Haha, we're all immortals. Don't think about anything else, just serve us five brothers well. Once we're satisfied, we'll take care of your enemies for you."

They were very confident! Since Long Ao Jiao wasn't 'fishing,' her extreme caution and disguise as an ordinary person could only mean she was hiding from enemies.

How powerful could a Ninth Stage enemy be?

Or rather, how strong could someone be to allow a Ninth Stage girl to escape their grasp?

At most, they were low-level immortals.

"Come here, little sister, let your brother have a good look."

One of them, with bushy sideburns, reached out to grab Long Ao Jiao, laughing, "Let your brother love you well."

"Look at you, you're so pitiful, I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you."

"Right, you used some transformation technique, didn't you? Not bad, after we're done playing, you can change into other forms... hmm, we can play for a long time!"

Long Ao Jiao's face turned pale, her eyes red and filled with tears.

"You... you..."

Seeing this, the five men became even more excited.

"I'm the leader, I'll go first!"

The bald man pounced on Long Ao Jiao like a hungry tiger.

"Ah???~"

Long Ao Jiao cried out in surprise.

But suddenly...

Boom!!!

She unleashed her powerful attack, a killing move she had been brewing for a long time, filled with hatred.

She had experience fighting against True Immortals alone years ago.

The opponent she faced now was merely an ordinary Immortal, and at such close range, almost defenseless...

"Wow!!!"

The bald man had no time to react before the Overlord Divine Fist's final strike landed on his chest.

His chest caved in instantly!

His ribs shattered into fragments.

His internal organs exploded.

His eyes bulged out.

He couldn't help but open his mouth, spewing out a mixture of blood and organ fragments.

"What?!"

"Big brother!!!"

The remaining four were shocked.

Just as they were checking on their leader, they discovered that not only was his physical body severely injured, but his divine soul had been annihilated!

One punch had directly killed him!!!

They were shocked beyond belief, and when they heard Long Ao Jiao's words, they were terrified.

"Run!!!"

They turned and fled...

Long Ao Jiao, with her arms crossed, didn't pursue them.

At that moment, a large group of people surrounded the four men from the outside.

"Break out!"

Someone shouted sternly.

They now understood that they had been set up, and someone wanted to kill them all.

But at this moment, they had no choice but to flee.

However, their escape was a mere fantasy.

Lin Fan didn't even need to take action.

They were just a few Immortals; it wasn't necessary for him to get involved.

To provide more opportunities for the disciples to gain experience, starting from the 'Immortal' level and gradually increasing their strength, wouldn't that be perfect?

"Take them down."

"Remember to leave one or two alive."

"Yes, Master!"

Xiao Ling'er and the other direct disciples immediately rushed forward, yelling excitedly.

Especially Wang Teng.

This guy was thrilled, fighting against an Immortal!

"Master, we want to join too."

Tian An and Fu Ning Na, the sisters, were also very interested and rushed forward without hesitation.

And so...

These four brothers were quickly overwhelmed.

They weren't even enough to share!

Xiao Ling'er, Ya Ya, and Shi Hao didn't even need to do much; they mainly coordinated from the center, giving others a chance...

As for Chen Bei, he unleashed a punch and, upon realizing that they couldn't withstand even a single punch from him, he simply stepped aside to watch the commotion.

"It's... not what I imagined."

Beside Lin Fan, Ji Chitong tilted her head slightly, observing everything, and whispered, "I should say it's completely different.
