Chapter 77: Battle with Dragon Aotian, Great Sun Heaven Devastation! (Part 3)
Humph.
Wait, what's interesting?
No, it's not right, what's interesting?
······
"Teacher, you...???"
With no danger in sight, Huoyun had already left, and Liang Danxia returned Xiao Ling's body control to her. The latter was anxious, "How can you do this?"
"We're all women, how can we be so reckless?"
Liang Danxia was at a loss.
But sometimes, one really can't hold back, ah~
That was almost instinctual...
Cough.
However, even if she was at a loss, she couldn't admit it, and if she acted as if nothing happened, it would be embarrassing.
You've got to pretend!
Liang Danxia 'calmly said', "What you're saying, "If we're not all women, such behavior wouldn't be considered violating the rules, right? As a teacher, how could I violate the rules?"
"We're all women, and such behavior can even enhance the relationship between friends."
"We're not close friends, but we can develop in that direction, right?"
"As a teacher, I have good intentions..."
Xiao Ling was stunned.
Is that so?
This...
It...
Indeed, it's quite reasonable.
"I see, it's because the disciple was too anxious, teacher, don't blame her."
Xiao Ling quickly apologized.
"It's fine, this is a learning experience. You're still young, not understanding is normal. As your teacher, I'll slowly guide you."
"Fortunately, it was just a deception!
Liang Danxia was feeling guilty.
In other words, she was just a wisp of a soul now, otherwise, she might not have been able to stop sweating.
Xiao Ling'er was both grateful and pondering.
In that case, if she encounters other girls in the future and wants to become fellow cultivators or even close friends, perhaps... this could be a possibility?
After all, they are all girls, and playing around is quite normal, right?
How could this be considered hooliganism?
"Don't overthink it."
At this moment, Liang Danxia spoke again, "Now, it's unlikely that anyone who isn't blind will come looking for you. You inform your Master and Fan Jianqiang, and then find a hidden place to hide and recover. Once you're mostly healed, you can go out."
"Use the Blood Regeneration Pill I taught you before!"
"Yes, teacher."
Bringing up serious matters, Xiao Ling'er couldn't afford to let her mind wander. She searched for a hidden place and sent messages to Lin Fan and Fan Jianqiang.
······
"Junior Brother, I've shaken off the pursuers and am currently recovering. I'll be fine in an hour..."
Fan Jianqiang smiled as he listened to Xiao Ling'er's message, feeling rather good.
As long as there are no more unexpected incidents, the sect will continue to grow stronger.
"She's safe, I'll leave now."
Long Aotian stood up, ready to leave.
"Wait, wait~" Fan Jianqiang still wouldn't let him go. "Let's wait for an hour."
Long Aotian became angry and slapped him.
Boom!
Fan Jianqiang exploded.
But he didn't get angry. Instead, he walked over and clinked his cup with Long Aotian, "There's no rush for this hour."
"What, are you happy now? If you're not, you can kill me a few more times."
Long Aotian's lips trembled, and he painfully said, "Kill me? What a waste of energy!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm not a child. Old Dragon, you're the big man here. Come, come, continue drinking. It's just an hour, and it'll pass soon."
"I, Long Aotian, have always acted freely. Why should I heed the words of others?"
Long Aotian was feeling stifled.
But he couldn't show it; this guy was too difficult to kill, and he wasn't worth exposing his true strength, so he could only pretend to be calm, or else he'd lose face.
After a round of drinking, Fan Jianqiang's eyes lit up. "Old Dragon, I say, let's make a Sound Transmission Talisman together? Perhaps we'll have a chance to cooperate in the future?"
Although Long Aotian wasn't a good person, he couldn't be trusted. But this guy was strong!
And as long as he could withstand his debuffing halo and use people, and then blow in his ear~
This guy was definitely a 'thousand-mile horse'!
As the saying goes, 'thousand-mile horses are common, but good riders are rare.' But wasn't he the good rider?
Cough, this metaphor wasn't very good.
The mighty Long Aotian became a cow and horse?
This guy was feeling pleased, and he had already started planning for the right opportunity to use Long Aotian.
"To cooperate with me, you're not worthy!"
Long Aotian glanced at him, but in the end, he still threw over a Sound Transmission Talisman, coldly huffing, "However, if there's some treasure you can't obtain due to your lack of strength, you can contact me."
"I, the unparalleled one of this generation, can even defeat the ancient clan's divine sons!"
"Those treasures should all belong to me!"
"Don't be afraid if you know, my talent is rarely seen in ancient times. If not, I, the young master, will be invincible across the world, sweeping through everything!"
"That third divine son of the Feather Clan, hmph, a chicken!"
"Even the first divine son of the Feather Clan, facing me, won't need a hundred moves!"
"What do you mean by a hundred moves?"
Fan Jianqiang leaned in, shaking his head, "Old Dragon, you're too highly of him, or you're underestimating yourself. In my opinion, he won't last more than three moves. He'll be begging for mercy."
Long Aotian felt refreshed hearing these words.
"You, an ant, actually have some vision~!"
"That's right. The third divine son can't last a move, and the first divine son can manage three. He's definitely a peerlessly talented person!"
The two started chatting.
Fan Jianqiang was so cunning.
After a round of boasting, he almost drank Long Aotian under the table.
······
"Master, I've escaped the pursuers and am currently recovering in a suitable location. I should be fine in an hour..."
Upon receiving Xiao Ling'er's message, Lin Fan wasn't surprised.
"As expected, this is the Flame Emperor's exclusive instance. No one can handle it."
He even felt that even if Fan Jianqiang didn't intervene, Xiao Ling'er could endure it.
Long Aotian was invincible, but as a protagonist template, Xiao Ling'er wasn't an ordinary person either, especially since this was the Flame Emperor's exclusive instance, and she had the home-field advantage~!
However, with Long Aotian as the main character, Xiao Ling'er would likely suffer, at least sustaining heavy injuries, and there was even a possibility of the old man in the necklace being put to sleep.
"Being a protagonist template does have its benefits."
This fellow couldn't help but sigh, feeling that his path was the right one.
Ordinary disciples had no use.
Not to mention ordinary disciples, even ordinary geniuses were of no use!
Facing these protagonist templates, they had no chance.
Like the third divine son of the Feather Clan, Yu Mo, facing Long Aotian, would be instantly defeated. If it were the second or first divine son, they wouldn't have an advantage, and there's a high chance they'd die.
Even the divine sons of the ancient clan, facing the protagonist templates, would mostly be background characters or stepping stones.
If not early on, then definitely later.
"I wonder what era the Immortal Martial Continent is in now."
"Is it the ordinary era, or the so-called 'Golden Grand Era'?"
Lin Fan was very familiar with the golden grand era, otherwise, it's not enough to explain the situation.
So-called Golden Grand Era is the era of geniuses, where any top-ranked genius can trample the first-ranked of the ordinary era!
Even various monstrous talents will appear, and there will be more than one protagonist template!
Moreover, this era will have various great crises but also accompanied by great opportunities.
The Immortal Martial Continent's 'world' is vast, terrifyingly so!
From the clues we've gathered so far, the entire world seems to be on par with the so-called Ten Thousand Worlds, even if it's just the Immortal Martial Continent, it's not smaller than an ordinary world.
Before this, he estimated that there should be around ten protagonist templates in a generation. But now, he discovers that the frequency of protagonist templates is surprisingly high! In less than a generation's time, he has encountered three protagonist templates, one of which is even a Mary Sue—it's a bit too much.
"So, this could be a golden era for protagonists."
"Then... how many protagonist templates are there?"
"Eight thousand?"
Lin Fan inwardly sighed, becoming even more vigilant.
The abundance of protagonist templates is both good news and bad news.
The good news is that he can find more protagonist templates to join the sect, but the bad news is that it also becomes more dangerous.
After all, not all protagonist templates can be recruited! For instance, those with the surname Tang—who dares to recruit them?
Lin Fan, for one, wouldn't dare.
As for those with the surname Gu Yue...
And those with the surname Long—that's out of the question! Like this Mary Sue, Lin Fan wouldn't dare to bring him into the sect. His intelligence-reducing halo is too powerful, and it doesn't differentiate between allies and enemies.
In the short term, Lin Fan and the sect members might be able to withstand it, but over time... they might all lose their minds! Moreover, Lin Fan is worried that this guy might return with an intimidating aura, forcing Lin Fan to kneel before him.
You wouldn't believe it, but a Mary Sue like him could indeed do such a thing.
Although Lin Fan can share their power and isn't afraid of him, it's like swatting flies—annoying but not deadly.
So...
It's better to keep him outside and let him do his thing.
With more protagonist templates around, Lin Fan isn't afraid of him.
Lin Fan walked while pondering.
He stopped at a secluded area, scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense, and confirmed no one was nearby.
"You've been following me all this way?" He turned back to look at the path he came from.
"You actually discovered me?"
Ma Shixiong and his group suddenly appeared, surprised but not panicked. "In that case, let's settle this here and now."
"This place is indeed serene and beautiful, a fitting burial ground."
"Yes, you're right."
Lin Fan nodded.
"But why target me?"
"I'm just a poor and insignificant person. I haven't gained any benefits from them..."
Ma Shixiong's assistant immediately spoke up, "But the items you've collected are numerous, even if they're not of high value. It's enough for us to take action."
Although Lin Fan hadn't seen it himself, he could pretend to have witnessed it.
Such opportunities are rare.
"Then, aren't you afraid I'll counterattack?"
"Hmph, that's a joke."
Ma Shixiong scoffed, "We clearly see through your situation. You're weak, an easy target. Otherwise, why would you just watch from the sidelines, even when your own disciple was being chased and you didn't dare to show up?"
"I wouldn't even fight for those treasures, Instead, I'd destroy even the grass under my feet."
"You don't have an Unusual Flame, and you can't replicate Xiao Ling'er's Heaven-Swallowing Spirit Art or the bizarre resurrection technique of the Moonseizing Sect disciple. Now, there's only one path before you."
"Death."
"Saying this is just to ensure you die with clarity, so you don't become a clueless ghost!"
Lin Fan: "..."
So, I should thank you?
"Could there be others aware of your actions? Or are there others targeting me?" Lin Fan asked further.
Ma Shixiong, about to take action, slightly frowned but then realized, "You're trying to deceive me even at the brink of death? Rest assured, smart people like me are rare."
"Moreover, even if others are targeting me, I have the confidence to stop them, even to the point of killing them!"
"Oh~~~"
"Then that's good."
Lin Fan revealed a mocking smile.
Smart.
You're too smart.
Is this guy crazy?
"Don't understand?"
"It's fine."
Seeing their hesitation, Lin Fan smiled.
Immediately, his aura surged, increasing dozens of times and directly reaching the Fourth Cave Heaven Realm Tier Six.
Then, the Immortal Fire Nine Transformations' first transformation was activated.
He even reached the Ninth Tier of the Cave Heaven Realm!
"You?!"
Ma Shixiong and his group were shocked, feeling a sense of foreboding. They wanted to flee but didn't have time.
Lin Fan took the initiative, instantly defeating them.
To prevent any accidents, he destroyed everything in their storage bags except for Essence Stones, Spirit Herbs, and other items that wouldn't cause trouble. This included various Spirit Armors, Treasures, and oddities.
After all, they were disciples of other second-rate sects, and no one knew if their storage bags contained any strange items that could be used for tracking.
Bringing them back might cause trouble!
In the end, Lin Fan directly crushed their bones to ashes, leaving no trace.
After doing all this, Lin Fan muttered, "I indeed can't use the Great Sun Heaven Devouring Art, nor am I a Straw Man. But I can share their power!"
After sharing their power, whatever they knew, Lin Fan would too. However, Lin Fan didn't use the Great Sun Heaven Devouring Art or any Unusual Flame. He used conventional methods to defeat them, but these methods were common and unremarkable.
After all, the Great Sun Heaven Devouring Art and Unusual Flames are too distinctive.
If someone investigates later, they would immediately know it was Xiao Ling'er's doing. In the end, the blame would fall on the Moonseizing Sect.
But the methods Lin Fan used were ordinary and widespread.
Nine out of ten cultivators would know them; it was purely because Lin Fan's realm was higher, and he crushed them to death.
If someone investigated, they wouldn't find any issues, as there weren't any high-level cultivators here, nor were there any bizarre and strange methods in the Fourth Realm.
As for the long-term implications, Lin Fan wasn't too worried about someone uncovering the truth.
If, by that time, the Moonseizing Sect and Lin Fan were still around, there's no reason to fear a second-rate sect like this.
If they're not around...
There's even less reason to fear.
...
On his way out, Lin Fan pondered.
"Speaking of which, the Tomb of the Fire Devouring Daoist is almost at its end."
The Immortal Fire Nine Transformations dissipated, but the shared power wasn't released. Instead, Lin Fan used a secret technique to conceal his cultivation, appearing to outsiders as just an ordinary cultivator in the Fourth Profound Realm Tier Four.
Just in case someone launches a sneak attack, Lin Fan wouldn't be caught off guard!
"However, going out will be even more dangerous."
"Cloud Heaven Valley is fine, with Liu Family's presence, they won't dare to cause trouble. Moreover, there's already enmity, and even if others see Xiao Ling'er killing them as the temporary master disciple, it wouldn't matter much."
Regarding the deaths of others, at least on the surface, it seems unrelated to the Moon Embrace Sect.
"But regarding treasures..."
"Just a single Unusual Flame is enough to tempt most second-rate sects."
"Those who will take action are not few, and the Liu family will definitely be overwhelmed."
"Fortunately, there's Long Aotian. Compared to him, he's even more impressive, and there will likely be more people targeting him..."
Why didn't Fan Jianqiang let Long Aotian kill him?
To share the pressure!
Lin Fan understood.
The Long family's strength is inferior to the Liu family, and he even killed the Third Godson of the Feather Clan!
As the saying goes, soft persimmons are easy to squeeze.
The Long family is softer, they also have heavy treasures, and the Feather Clan is backing them up. Is it better to deal with the Moon Embrace Sect?
However, there will definitely be people targeting the Moon Embrace Sect, and not a few at that.
As for how to resolve this, it depends on future developments.
Moreover, Lin Fan always felt that it shouldn't be too difficult.
After all, the divination showed great fortune~~~!
...
Half a shichen later, the entire grand tomb was shaking!
Xiao Ling'er was startled awake and quickly rushed out of her hiding place, only to discover that this small world was rapidly collapsing...
"What's happening?"
She was astonished.
Liang Danxia found it strange, saying, "The treasures within must have been exhausted, especially the 'Heavy Treasure', causing the formation to fail. Hence, the small world is about to collapse."
"You will be 'transmitted' out as well, so there's no need to worry."
"But after leaving, you must be extremely cautious."
"Mm."
Xiao Ling'er understood.
...
The Outside World.
Many elders were quietly waiting.
Su Xinghai was quite anxious.
Liu Xun and the others were fine, although the Liu family disciples they brought weren't strong, they weren't the Liu family's Heavenly Talents or the most core members. Even if they died...
This loss was bearable.
As for Xiao Ling'er and the others, if they died inside, then the Liu family's investment would be wasted.
Liu Xun couldn't help but ponder.
"That's not right, it's not that miserable. At worst, we can merge the Moon Embrace Sect into the Liu family, and the twenty-five Spirit Mountains can serve as a decent branch territory."
"Moving a branch over, we won't lose much."
The Feather Clan's elders smiled.
As for the harvest from the Fire Devouring Daoist's tomb, it naturally belongs to their clan.
Although Yu Mo was only the Third Godson of the Feather Clan, the Feather Clan was incredibly powerful. The entire clan could rival a Sacred Ground, and the Third Godson was a peerless genius!
These second and third-rate forces' disciples, what could they compare to?
The Fire Virtue Sect's people weren't worried.
Although they were concerned about Huo Yun'er's safety, but as the Sect Master's daughter, she was cherished.
Moreover, the Fire Virtue Sect was renowned for their artifacts.
She had no shortage of treasures, in their eyes, those who could kill Huo Yun'er in the Fourth Realm weren't few, but these people weren't worthy of the treasures~
At least they should be contemporary prodigies from first-rate sects, or even 'Holy Son' level figures.]
The Cloud Heaven Valley's elders weren't worried...
The Cloud Heaven Valley's strength wasn't too strong among second-rate sects, but they were decent, and the current Master Uncle's strength was passable. As long as he didn't provoke those few unprovokable people.
Even if the harvest wasn't much, it shouldn't be this disastrous.
But...
The Dragon Clan was panicking!
They knew better than anyone what kind of person Long Aotian was.
This guy loved to show off, and his actions were impulsive. He would start a fight at the slightest disagreement, and he would go all out!
These years, if Long Aotian had another episode and started killing indiscriminately...
He would definitely go on a killing spree.
Even so, the Long family has provided substantial compensation.]
Yet, Long Aotian's talent and strength were evident, and anyone could see that with proper cultivation, he would absolutely become a Saint and lead the entire Dragon Clan to new heights.
Therefore...
They must increase their cultivation support.
This caused Long Aotian to become more arrogant and domineering.
His personality became more domineering, and his strength also increased.
Others might not understand, but the Long family members knew very well.
In their eyes, those young people who entered the Fire Devouring Daoist's tomb, Long Aotian could finish them off in an instant.
If Long Aotian had another episode and started killing indiscriminately...
Oh no...
Just hope that he restrains himself this time and doesn't kill too many influential people. Otherwise, the Long family might not be able to handle it.
The Long family's elders exchanged glances, sighing.
If he were someone else's disciple, they would love to beat him up. But since he was their own genius, they could only sigh.
Crack, crack, crack!
Suddenly, cracking sounds filled the air.
Everyone held their breath.
"The light screen is breaking..."
Before he could finish.
Boom!
The light screen covering the Fire Devouring Daoist's tomb shattered, and beams of transmission light flashed continuously.
The elders immediately focused, and after finding their juniors, they quickly pulled them over to prevent any accidents.
Subsequently...
Some rejoiced, some worried.
Seeing Lin Fan and the other two return safely, Xiao Ling'er's breath was slightly unstable, and Su Xinghai's heart finally settled, but immediately, he was shocked.
Xiao Ling'er had...
Reached the Third Primordial Realm's Ninth Layer?!
The Long family's attention wasn't on Long Aotian anymore, instead, they scanned the area, checking if any top geniuses had been killed, and then...
They trembled.
The Feather Clan's elders escorted Huo Yun'er, asking with concern.
The Cloud Heaven Valley's elders were shocked.
"The Xiao Ling'er killed her, and she obtained a secret technique to enhance her strength, and she also got a heavy treasure, an Unusual Flame!"
"What?!"
But the most terrified were the Feather Clan's elders.
"Where's our Third Godson?!"
Subsequently, a terrifying pressure descended from above, and the Third Godson's protector arrived!
His strength was terrifying, and his pressure overwhelmed everyone, but his face was filled with shock.
"Where's my clan's Godson?"
