Cheng Kun's fate is self-evident; the Golden Lion King will eventually become a monk.

Lin Bufan obtained the Dragon-Slaying Saber, and Zhou Zhiruo became the leader of the Emei Sect and the leader of the martial arts alliance.

After the Lion Slaying Assembly, Lin Bufan said he could retire gracefully.

For the members of the six major sects, although they did not obtain the Dragon Slayer Saber, their trip was not in vain.

At the very least, they know who's behind this.

Cheng Kun was even more hateful than Lin Da, the great demon; he deserved to die.

The people of Shaolin Temple remained uneasy, worried about Abbot Kongwen's safety.

“Benefactor Lin, Cheng Kun is dead, but our abbot…”

"The abbot is in the hands of Chen Youliang and his gang. Go find Chen Youliang."

Where is Chen Youliang?

"Ask the Beggars' Sect?"

Lin Bufan showed the way to the Shaolin Temple members.

After all, Chen Youliang was one of the Beggars' Sect's Grand Elders.

"Huh, we got a share too?"

The Beggars' Sect members were taken aback. "Oh no, Elder Chen left the Beggars' Sect some time ago, and we don't know where he is."

Master Kongzhi had no choice but to ask Zhou Zhiruo for help: "Please ask the leader of the martial arts alliance to uphold justice and rescue Abbot Kongwen."

Zhou Zhiruo was taking on the role of martial arts alliance leader for the first time and had little experience.

She didn't know where Chen Youliang was, so how could she help rescue Abbot Kongwen?

Lin Bufan gave her some advice. He had just used his mind-reading ability to read Cheng Kun's thoughts and found out where Chen Youliang and his gang were, as well as where Abbot Kongwen was imprisoned.

Tell Zhou Zhiruo quietly to take some people to look for it.

After that, Zhou Zhiruo would stay in the Emei Sect, or travel the Jianghu of the Great Yuan Dynasty, or develop her power and fulfill the duties of the leader of the martial arts alliance.

They will be away from Lin Bufan for quite some time.

"Young master, if I want to come back in the future, how can I find you?"

Zhou Zhiruo was somewhat reluctant to part.

In front of Zhang Wuji, Lin Bufan stroked Zhou Zhiruo's hair and said gently, "You have your own path to walk. When you break through to the Free Realm one day, even if you don't come looking for me, I will come looking for you."

Zhou Zhiruo was deeply moved and promised, "I will work hard to cultivate and help you conquer the Great Yuan Dynasty."

“It’s the Jianghu of the Great Yuan Dynasty,” Lin Bufan corrected with a smile. “Don’t tell me you want to be Jiang Yuyan.”

Who is Jiang Yuyan?

"She's probably still an innocent and kind girl. Don't worry about her. Just take care of yourself."

Lin Bufan's smile faded, and he thought to himself: Perhaps Zhou Zhiruo really could become another Jiang Yuyan, after all, the Great Yuan Dynasty is currently beset by internal and external troubles, with rebellions breaking out everywhere...

Let nature take its course. If she has the ambition to become empress, I will also be blessed.

"Girls, there's nothing more for us here. Let's go back to Ninghe Town."

Lin Bufan bid farewell to Zhou Zhiruo and the women, taking Yang Buhui and Xiao Zhao with him. In a flash, he disappeared into thin air and entered the small world.

They don't even want to act, which shows off their extraordinary abilities.

The six major sects, the Ming Cult, and the Beggars' Sect were all stunned.

"Fly...fly away?"

"Are they in the sky? I don't see anyone there."

"Or perhaps it's burrowing underground."

"He vanished in the blink of an eye. Is that Lin the Great Demon Lord a god?"

"A banished immortal."

"Perhaps we shouldn't have provoked him in the first place."

With Lin Bufan absent, Zhou Zhiruo became the person with the highest combat power and the highest authority in the entire event.

She shouted, "Everyone listen to me! Go and capture Chen Youliang first!"

Small World, Ninghe Town.

Lin Bufan returned with the women, who were very surprised, "We're back again."

"Let's stay here from now on," Lin Bufan said. "This place is better than Lu Family Village, and we can see each other anytime."

The women had no objections, and Lu Wushuang said, "Then I need to bring my clothes and such. Brother Lin, please take me back to Lu Family Village."

Hong Lingbo, Wanyan Ping, and Li Mochou also said they would go back to move their clothes and personal belongings.

Lin Bufan then created a barrier gate, and together with the women, they traveled a thousand miles back to Lu Family Village.

There were guests at Lujiazhuang, two adults and two children, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

They are: Huang Rong and Guo Fu, as well as Guo Xiang and Guo Polu.

The two children were only a few months old. Huang Rong and Guo Fu each held one of them and sat in front of the courtyard gate waiting.

Lin Bufan and several girls appeared out of thin air one after another in front of them, startling them as if they had seen a ghost.

Lin Bufan quickly explained that it was a barrier gate, connecting to a secluded paradise, and then asked them how they ended up there.

Guo Fu said resentfully, "You haven't come to see me for a long time since the Heroes' Gathering, so of course I had to come and see you."

"I've been a bit busy lately," Lin Bufan said, holding Guo Fu's hand and offering a few words of comfort.

Guo Fu looked at Zhao Min, Wu Qing, Zhou Miaotong, and other girls she hadn't seen before, and said coquettishly, "You're busy looking for girls, you don't care about me at all."

As she spoke, a tear rolled down her cheek, and she playfully punched Lin Bufan with her small fist.

Lin Bufan was puzzled and helped Guo Fu wipe away her tears: "What's wrong, Fu-mei? You seem to have something on your mind."

Guo Fu said, "Otherwise, why would people come looking for you? My father wants me to marry Yelü Qi, but I don't like him. So I was thinking of you... Could you give me a proper status so that my father and Yelü Qi can give up?"

Want a formal title?

Before Lin Bufan could speak, the girls around him frowned.

Li Mochou: "If you want a title, then you'll have to be ranked after me."

Little Dragon Girl: "Bufan, you must practice with me often, so my status cannot be low."

Lu Wushuang: "Brother Lin, I called you my husband when we first met. I was the first to call you my husband. You can't let me down."

Ruthless: "I left my master, left Leng Lingqi, left the capital to come to you. I gave up everything for you, so my status cannot be low."

Zhou Miaotong, Wanyan Ping, and Hong Lingbo stared at each other, unsure of what to say.

They were of low social status and not worthy of vying for favor.

Guo Fu was almost in tears from anger. She stomped her foot and said, "Brother Lin, say something!"

Lin Bufan put his arm around her and said, "How about we have a baby? Then your father won't force you to marry Yelü Qi."

"What kind of idea is this? Asking someone to have a baby? My little sister Xiang'er is still a baby herself."

These words made Huang Rong blush.

Lin Bufan noticed Huang Rong and asked, "Why is Madam Guo here too?"

Huang Rong brushed a strand of hair from her forehead. "I was worried about Fu'er's safety on the road, so I came with her."

"What about Xiangyang City?"

"Her father is watching over her, nothing will happen."

"Madam Guo's culinary skills are unparalleled. Could you stay in Ninghe Town for a few days and let us enjoy your delicious food? We can talk about Fu Mei and Yelü Qi's matter while we eat."

"Alright."

Huang Rong agreed, and Guo Fu felt much better.
