"Ding, Lu Shuisheng is in mortal danger. New mission issued. Please go to rescue her."
The system's voice sounded, and a bright red light appeared on the panel, indicating that the situation was very serious.
“She’s the female lead, she’ll definitely be able to turn the tide,” Lin Fan said, showing no intention of intervening.
“Long Aotian has already arrived. If he gets there first, things will be even more difficult later,” the system said.
Lin Fan frowned. Even Long Aotian had gone over; it meant the other side's system was about to make a big move.
“His goal is her luck, so there’s no danger in that,” he retorted.
"Even if it's just luck, we can't let Long Aotian succeed. Once he collects all six sources of luck, you're doomed," the system said.
Seeing his heavy silence, the system continued, "If you give up Lu Shuisheng's destiny and give it to Long Aotian, unless you protect the others every step of the way in the future, you are destined to fail."
"Alright, I'll make a move this once," Lin Fan said.
"Please hurry, host, or it will be too late," the system urged.
Lin Fan stood up, looked at the two women, and said, "Then I'll go."
“I’ll go with you too, maybe I can help you,” Chu Yunying said, standing up.
Seeing this, Su Youxue wanted to ask to go together, but Lin Fan had already taken Chu Yunying and hurried on their way.
He took out the letter he had taken from Su Youxue, looked at the address left on the letter, and didn't waste any time.
...
Lu Shuisheng walked cautiously, feeling very nervous. She tried her best to conceal her presence as she searched for her parents' whereabouts.
Since they sent me to the Qingxiao Sect, I haven't heard from them at all. I must find them this time.
"Seventh Senior Sister, what are you looking for?" Suddenly, Long Aotian appeared behind her, his eyes gleaming with an eerie black light.
"None of your business!" Upon seeing that it was Long Aotian, Lu Shuisheng immediately drew her sword and pointed it at him.
"It's been a long time since we last met. Would you do me the honor of visiting me, Senior Sister?" Long Aotian flicked her hand lightly, and her sword shattered into dozens of pieces and fell to the ground.
"Wishful thinking! Someone like you doesn't deserve to live!" Lu Shuisheng said angrily. She sprinkled poison on Long Aotian and turned to run away.
However, she had only flown a few meters when her body was frozen in place by a powerful force.
"Seventh Senior Sister, you've hurt me so much. We had such a good relationship, yet you're going against me for Lin Fan's sake." A murderous glint appeared in his eyes.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying that, he formed a hand seal and began to use a forbidden technique, injecting a strange rune into Lu Shuisheng's body.
Lu Shuisheng was unable to move, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning. Her body changed slightly, her pretty face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Long Aotian, you will die a horrible death."
Lin Fan pushed his spiritual power to its limit and used the Heaven-Shielding Pearl to conceal his aura so as not to be discovered by the evil spirits and hinder his progress.
"Senior Brother, my heart is pounding. Will Junior Sister be alright?" Chu Yunying asked with a worried expression, her voice trembling slightly.
Lin Fan stared at the system window, where red exclamation marks kept popping up, indicating that the situation was very dangerous.
Suddenly all sounds stopped, as if the world had become quiet.
"Mission failed!"
The pop-up window eventually displayed these four words, and his divine sense extended infinitely, capturing Lu Shuisheng's aura.
Within two breaths, they saw Lu Shuisheng's figure, with a wisp of black mist fleeing into the distance beside him.
"Junior Sister!" Chu Yunying exclaimed in surprise as she watched Lu Shuisheng's body fall from the sky.
Lin Fan quickly took her in his arms, carefully checked her condition, and his expression changed slightly.
"Senior Brother?" Lu Shuisheng seemed to see a blurry face, used all her strength to turn and hug him, and then there was no more movement.
"System, is there any hope?" Lin Fan asked.
"Unless you can travel through time!" the system said.
"Isn't she the female lead?" Lin Fan asked.
“The source of fortune is fused with the soul, and her soul has been drained,” the system said.
Chu Yunying was already sobbing uncontrollably. Her junior sister had still suffered a terrible fate; what she had just witnessed was a final burst of energy before death.
"Let's go back!" Lin Fan said calmly.
When they returned to the Liu family home, Su Youxue and Chu Yunying were crying their eyes out, while Lin Fan sat calmly in the courtyard outside, looking at the clouds in the sky with a complicated expression.
"Senior Brother Lin, aren't you sad?" Murong Xuanqiu walked over, his eyes red, and asked curiously.
"Although we are fellow disciples, we are now like strangers!" Lin Fan said calmly.
“You have a hard heart!” Murong Xuanqiu said.
"The old Lin Fan is dead. I am no longer a disciple of the Qingxiao Sect," Lin Fan said calmly.
"Senior Brother Lin, could you tell me what happened after you left Qingxiao Sect?" Murong Xuanqiu asked curiously.
She felt that Lin Fan's change was definitely related to his departure from Qingxiao Sect back then.
After all, he had been falsely accused of having his meridians destroyed and exiled to a forbidden area, where even a normal person would have had a hard time surviving.
Lin Fan was silent for a moment, then said, "It's all just endless slaughter, there's nothing to say."
He knew she was asking about his past life, a memory he didn't want to recall.
“It must have been very tough!” Murong Xuanqiu said.
"I searched for you for a long time afterward, but I couldn't find you!" Her eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked up.
"Ding: Qin Wunian and Leng Xingyue are in danger. New mission issued. Please head to rescue them as soon as possible!" Lin Fan was surprised when he saw the mission issued by the system.
"Is he also Long Aotian?" Lin Fan asked.
"Yes!" the system replied.
“System, you’re no good. The other side has location tracking and can find people easily. With you being so incompetent, we’ll be in a very passive position,” Lin Fan said.
Murong Xuanqiu looked at him in confusion, and Lin Fan explained, "I have important business to attend to and will be back in a few days."
He asked Fengxi for directions and found out where Leng Xingyue and Qin Wunian had gone, so he rushed over there in a hurry.
If what the system says is true, then Long Aotian really cannot obtain their source of fortune.
Long Aotian planned to gather the origins of the six paths of fortune and set up the Six Paths Reincarnation Heaven-Slaying Array, which could deceive the Heavenly Dao and thus sacrifice the living beings of heaven and earth.
His purpose in doing this was to gather the fortune of heaven and earth into himself, thereby replacing the Heavenly Dao and obtaining the power of this world.
"Where is Senior Brother?" Su Youxue and Chu Yunying asked curiously when they didn't see Lin Fan.
“He went out on business, and he seemed to be in a hurry,” Murong Xuanqiu said.
They hadn't yet recovered from their grief; their eyes were filled with tears, and they were deeply saddened.
“Things have come to this point, and I feel there’s nothing left to hide. You were also reborn, right?” Murong Xuanqiu suddenly said.
The two women remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Murong Xuanqiu sighed and said, "Although Senior Brother Lin didn't say it explicitly, it's clear that he has also been reborn. He is very resistant to his past life, which is why he is acting this way."
"It's probably impossible to make him let go. It will only cause you more pain. You saw it this time too. He didn't feel any sadness about the passing of Junior Sister Shui Sheng. He was just calm and indifferent."
