The green sword plunged into the stone wall, only centimeters from his neck, startling Lin Fan.
"Fairy sister, you've recovered?" He moved his lips, managing a weak smile.
"I told you I would kill you for what you did to me." Yue Wushuang walked closer, drew her green sword, and pressed it against his throat.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" Lin Fan's brain raced. Seeing that Yue Wushuang's face was full of shame and anger but she had no murderous intent, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Only a set of tactics would work against this kind of woman.
Then his eyes became dull and lifeless, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his face began to look sad and gloomy.
"I originally thought that after spending these past few days together, even if Fairy Sister didn't consider me a friend in times of trouble, she could at least be considered a friend."
He suddenly looked up and said with a bitter smile, "It turns out I was just being delusional. If you want to kill me, Fairy Sister, just do it. You can only blame yourself for falling in love first."
"The mountain has trees, but the trees have no branches; I love you, but you do not know. Perhaps this love can only carry regret and remain with the yellow earth forever. If there is an afterlife, I only wish that we would never have met."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, his heart pounding with anxiety, wondering if the skills he had learned from Blue Star would be enough to win her over.
Yue Wushuang was also moved, her expression changing rapidly. Was she really going to kill him? But he had risked his life to save her; how was doing this any different from being an ungrateful wretch?
Lin Fan didn't mention the romantic encounter last night, giving her face by not mentioning it. Of course, he was also afraid of upsetting her, since it wasn't his fault; it was his own problem with cultivating the Myriad Flowers Manual.
He was forced into it, and besides, he was the one who started it.
Seeing his hesitation, Lin Fan smiled and gently moved the sword aside: "Congratulations, Fairy Sister, on reaching a new level in your cultivation. How about we leave this dangerous place first?"
Yue Wushuang sheathed her sword, snorted coldly, and looked away without saying a word.
"There are still many high-level magical beasts outside, and there is also a Beast King guarding the area. I wonder what plans Fairy Sister has?" Lin Fan asked.
"Let's just charge out!" Yue Wushuang raised his sword and said confidently.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes. Sure enough, she was all looks and no brains. She was a perfectly normal person with a brain, and even with the Beast King guarding the area, the two of them couldn't break through with so many high-level magical beasts.
"I do have a plan to safely evacuate the fairy, but it requires the fairy sister's help."
"Tell me about it!" Yue Wushuang said calmly.
"Fairy sister, take a piece of bloodstained clothing and quietly place it deep within Tiger King's territory. If Lion King wants revenge, he will definitely confront Martial King. If they start a conflict, we can take advantage of the chaos and quietly leave," Lin Fan whispered.
"What if they don't have any conflict?" Yue Wushuang thought for a moment and felt that the plan was feasible. The problem was that the Lion King had to cooperate. If the Lion King didn't cooperate, what should be done?
"If the Lion King doesn't appear, it means he has given up on revenge, and the surrounding high-level magical beasts will also retreat, so we can sneak away again."
Yue Wushuang nodded, picked up the blood-stained clothes she had changed out of a few days ago, and then secretly continued to sneak into the Tiger King's territory.
Half an hour later, Yue Wushuang reappeared. The two remained silent, and the cave fell silent once more.
Lin Fan didn't disturb him, knowing that a proud woman wasn't so easily moved. He needed to give her some time to calm down and let her fill in the blanks in her mind.
Sure enough, the magical beasts in the Lion King's territory, smelling the blood-stained clothes, were attacked as soon as they stepped into the Tiger King's territory due to their large numbers.
The two great monsters, each ruling over a powerful beast, launched a fierce battle. The intensity of the battle eventually alerted the two kings, leading to another conflict.
Before the two beast kings could react, and while the high-level magical beasts gathered elsewhere, Yue Wushuang and Lin Fan secretly slipped out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
"There's something I want to ask you!"
As they parted, Yue Wushuang hesitated, but finally asked, "Why do you possess the Myriad Flowers Manual?"
At that time, desire overcame reason, but she still knew that the Myriad Flowers Manual was passed down by him and was the most precious treasure of the Hundred Flowers Sect. Even they only had half of it.
"I don't know what the fairy sister is talking about. I look forward to meeting her again. Until we meet again!" Lin Fan dodged the question, knowing he could just deny it.
Yue Wushuang stood facing the cold wind, quietly watching him without pressing for details. Then she took out something and said, "I owe you a huge favor. Take this jade slip. If you ever encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to me anytime."
After speaking, she transformed into a streak of light and departed.
Lin Fan put away the jade slip, and a short while later, he received a message from Chu Yunying, inviting him to meet at the Monster Valley.
Monster Valley is a safe haven established by the Qingxiao Sect. Located on the outer edge of the mountain range, it is mostly inhabited by low-level monsters, posing little threat to them.
"Junior Sister Chu, why haven't you returned to the sect yet?"
As soon as they entered the Monster Valley, they saw Chu Yunying jumping and looking around in the cold wind, like a wife waiting for her husband to return home.
"I've been keeping a close eye on the situation outside the Monster Valley and discovered that Long Aotian has already returned to the sect. I stayed behind to pass on the message to my senior brother," Chu Yunying explained.
She waited there mainly out of concern for his safety. If Lin Fan didn't come out soon, she would probably have to venture deeper into the Monster Mountain Range again.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, junior sister." Lin Fan said apologetically, even though Chu Yunying usually seemed cold and didn't talk much.
But the reason I can get along with her is probably because we didn't have much interaction in my past life, and she didn't do anything to hurt me.
Chu Yunying was initially a little angry, but upon hearing Lin Fan's words, her anger gradually dissipated, and a smile slowly appeared on her cold face, like a snow lotus in full bloom, pleasing to the eye and unforgettable.
"Senior Brother, what are you looking at?" Seeing her senior brother's dazed gaze, she glared at him with a mixture of embarrassment and anger, but her heart was filled with joy. Had her efforts over the past few days finally moved her senior brother?
Lin Fan awkwardly looked away, secretly wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, and changed the subject, saying, "I was just thinking about some things from the past. Now that Long Aotian has returned to the sect, let's deal with him slowly."
Long Aotian lay on the floor of the room, his face ashen. His Dao heart had shattered after returning from the Monster Mountain Range.
The glory that once belonged to him is gone, all taken away by Lin Fan. Now that he has no master's protection, how can he possibly defeat Lin Fan?
His master and junior sister changed their personalities overnight and no longer treated him the same way. Now, he can hardly move an inch in the Qingxiao Sect.
"Junior Brother Aotian, what are you doing lying here?" Wu Qiankun walked in and saw him lying on the ground in a dejected state, no longer as energetic as before, and asked curiously.
"Second Senior Brother, I'm tired. I feel like the whole world has abandoned me," Long Aotian said with a bitter smile.
He has lost faith in the future.
"How could that be? Even if the whole world is against you, your senior brother will stand behind you!" Wu Qiankun patted his shoulder and said.
Long Aotian was very touched. His second senior brother had taken good care of him since the first day he entered the sect.
But something about what he said seemed a little strange. He looked up at Wu Qiankun and saw that the latter's eyes were clear and sincere. It shouldn't be what he was thinking, right?
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother. Please don't worry about me anymore. Just let me fend for myself," Long Aotian said, feeling sorry for himself.
"Senior brother has a way for you to defeat Lin Fan, but I don't know if junior brother dares to do it!" Wu Qiankun
Um?
Long Aotian slowly got up, and his dim eyes brightened again.
"Second Brother, are you serious? I'm willing to try whatever method you choose."
"There is a forbidden area 500 miles behind the sect's mountain, where some terrifying things are suppressed. However, there is one thing that can be obtained: an evil dragon relic. Once you get it, you can inherit its legacy. Even if the senior brother is powerful, he is no match for you."
Wu Qiankun explained.
"It's just that sect disciples aren't allowed to approach the forbidden area, which makes things a bit tricky."
"Since it's a forbidden area of the sect, if we take the Evil Dragon Relic, won't it release those terrifying creatures inside?" Long Aotian said with some concern.
If he takes away the evil dragon relic, those monsters will rush out and kill him in the process, wouldn't that be a great injustice?
Wu Qiankun smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, that evil dragon relic was placed outside. For thousands of years, the sect elders wanted to refine it but couldn't. Later, it was gradually forgotten and sealed in the forbidden area."
"Whenever the moon is full, the seal on the forbidden area is at its weakest. You can take the opportunity to sneak into the forbidden area. If you can fuse with the Evil Dragon Relic to cleanse your marrow, you will surely soar to the sky."
Long Aotian said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
He clenched his fists, a ruthless glint in his eyes. He had sworn to trample Lin Fan underfoot and exact revenge, and he couldn't care less about anything else now.
The cold winter is fierce, and it is difficult to see the moon during the winter months, but according to the time calculation, the 15th of each month is a full moon night.
Long Aotian arrived at the forbidden area, looked at the gray space opposite him, and then took out a talisman that could ignore any barrier or magic array.
He affixed the talisman to his body, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, before resolutely stepping into the barrier.
A soft, eerie breeze swept over him, making him shiver and feel a chill run down his spine. Compared to the fierce cold wind outside, this eerie breeze was even more biting.
The forbidden area was like another small world. There was no heavy snowfall, and everything was in a gray tone with many withered tree branches, as if a great battle had taken place there before.
According to the second senior brother's description, there is an altar deep in the forbidden area, and the relic of the evil dragon is placed on the altar.
The altar, built by the sect's top experts in order to refine the evil dragon relic, took thousands of years of effort but failed to refine the demonic energy of the black dragon relic. In the end, they had no choice but to seal it there.
"Is that the Evil Dragon Relic?" After traveling thousands of miles, Long Aotian finally saw a huge altar with four giant pillars that soared into the clouds. A black bead floated on the altar, shimmering with an eerie light.
