During the period of time in Martial Path Mountain, he was waiting for the dust to clear and for everyone to settle down. Everyone did what they had to do while he would now leave the mountain to have fun with all of them.
Gou’zi was reluctant to see Young Master leave, but he knew that there were some things that he couldn’t stop Young Master from doing.
“Actually, I can go too.” Zhang Tianshan muttered, “At least I can lay out some formations.”
Lin Fan didn’t bring Zhang Tianshan along as he was just too weak.
When people of different levels of strength, it was tough for them to hang around one another.
“Zhang Tianshan, just lay out the formations around Martial Path Mountain and don’t think about so much. Be more low profile.” Lin Fan waved his hand and left right as he said so. He didn’t even hesitate at all.
One man, one pig, and a bug. This special combination started their resistance against the top sects.
Actually, it couldn’t be considered a resistance; it was just them wanting to beat other people up.
“Young Master Lin, where should we go now?” Zhu Shen asked. They didn’t have a goal at all, but they had to have one.
Lin Fan thought about it and said, “I don’t know where we should go but there is no rush. Let’s fly and then find a place to rest. Then, we will consolidate what we know about the world.”
Zhu Shen was helpless. It was easy for them to get into trouble if they had no goal at all.
If he was in charge, he wouldn’t find trouble with the Alliance. Instead, he would gather everyone who had the same ideals and discuss a solution.
Or, he would search for Alliance’s weakness and cause them some problems. He would then flee right away.
As for Nine Demon, he didn’t care at all. He stood on his master’s shoulder, totally relaxed. Apart from being serious when he fought, the rest of the time he was just resting.
Night fell.
Lin Fan found a place to rest.
Within a broken hut with four leaky walls, a bonfire was raised. The flame chased away the darkness and lit up the surroundings.
They stood in front of the bonfire and looked at the flames. There was only the sound of burning wood in this silent night.
“Young Master Lin, we should have a goal.” Zhu Shen said. Now, he finally accepted the situation.
Lin Fan played around with the wood and asked, “What goal do we need?
All the goals in life will only appear when one meets random things. In You City, we just wanted to defend against the Alliance. Now that You City has been wiped out, the goal is gone. Just wait, there is no rush, we are just out for a day.”
Zhu Shen felt that Young Master Lin’s words made sense.
“Actually, it isn’t that we have no goal. Now, we have three: King Wutong, Alliance, and the top sects. We can casually choose any of them. Looking at the situation, there is a high chance we will bump into them, so there is no need to search for targets. Often our targets will be the ones that find us.” Lin Fan said.
Zhu Shen looked at Lin Fan and didn’t know what to say.
The three targets that Young Master Lin mentioned seemed really normal, but he knew that they were playing with their lives. If they weren’t careful they could even die from all this.
Young Master Lin was indeed really strong now, but he was not so strong that he could disregard everything.
If he met a true Dao Realm expert, even with him by his side, it was useless.
At that moment, there was a sound from outside.
Zhu Shen kept quiet and acted like a normal pig resting on the ground. He looked at the door and wondered who would come in.
Kachi!
The door was pushed open and someone spoke up.
“There is someone inside, so should we still enter?” The voice was really careful and wary like he didn’t expect someone to be in here.
“Enter, why not? No one owns this place. Quickly, I am just so tired.”
The owner of the voice didn’t fear anything and was a little exhausted.
Shortly after, they thought there were only two, but who knew that there was actually a third person?
Two of them were young; one was short and one was tall. When the two of them stepped in, they looked around at what was going on. The tall, thin guy knocked the head of the short, fat guy. “Why are you blocking the door? Let Master in.”
Before the fat boy said anything, the tall, thin guy served. “Master, I have looked around and this place is safe. Come in.”
The short fat boy rubbed his head and was a little angry, “Senior brother, if you continue to hit my head like that I am going to fight you.”
Pa!
“Fight me? Quickly find a seat for Master. Stop being so foolish.” The tall, thin guy said.
When the old man entered, he fixed his eyes on Lin Fan’s body like he was really surprised. But after just one look, he retracted his gaze.
Zhu Shen didn’t say anything.
Naturally, it was quite unbelieveable that a pig could speak. Moreover, he didn’t know who they were and where they came from, so there was no need to reveal himself.
The three of them made a bonfire too. The two guys served the old man.
The tall, thin male was a little hungry as he hadn’t eaten for a whole day. It was really difficult to get some food in such a mountainous region.
Suddenly, he saw the pig beside Lin Fan. Although it was a little small, it was decent. If they barbecued it, it would definitely be delicious.
He touched the silver on his body and felt fortunate that he had some excess. After telling his Master, he smiled and walked towards Lin Fan, “Little brother, let’s discuss something. How about I spend 10 silver to buy your pig?”
“You are rich.” Lin Fan smiled.
The tall and thin guy said, “I have some money.”
Lin Fan lowered his head and looked at Zhu Shen. “Zhu Shen, someone wants to buy you. Say something.”
The tall and thin guy felt like this little brother was quite interesting since he was actually speaking to a pig.
10 silver for a piglet was quite expensive; other people might not have been able to resist that.
Zhu Shen felt a little helpless. What was Young Master Lin thinking and why did he ask him that? if other people were to find out they would definitely become suspicious.
He had no choice and could only reply.
“I am not a pig.” Zhu Shen said.
The moment he said this, the guy was so terrified that he jumped, “This pig can speak.”
“Come back.” The old man chided before he stood up. The thin guy didn’t know what his Master wanted to do and could only follow behind him. The old man walked in front of Lin Fan and looked carefully at the two of them. He then looked towards Nine Demon before retracting his gaze.
“I am Qianji Mountain Cha Fu. May I know what is your name?”
Lin Fan smiled. “I am Lin Fan.”
Cha Fu was unfamiliar with this person and he had never heard of him. “My disciple was rash, so little friend and Zhu Shen, please don’t blame him.”
Before Lin Fan was able to say anything, Zhu Shen couldn’t help but say, “Qianji Mountain, that’s quite familiar.”
Deep down, Cha Fu was really happy. He didn’t expect Qianji Mountain to be so famous such that people outside would have known about it. However, what he said shocked Cha Fu.
“I recalled that 20 years ago Qianji Mountain Sect Leader fought alongside Master Lin in You City but he died. Who are you to him?” Zhu Shen asked.
After he asked that, he felt like it wasn’t a good thing to have said.
He actually revealed his identity.
Cha Fu’s eyes opened wide and he kept silent for a long while. Then, he said, “If he is my senior brother, then you are?”
“So, he is your senior brother. Didn’t I tell you who I was? You City Zhu Shen.” Zhu Shen said.
Cha Fu thought about it; he had never heard of Zhu Shen. He felt a bit awkward and didn’t know what to say.
Zhu Shen said, “Not many people know about me. In the past, my nickname was a little more famous; have you heard of the strongest blade of the Imperial Dynasty?”
Uproar!
Cha Fu was shocked. He didn’t expect the pig to be the top blade in the Imperial Dynasty. This nickname was really famous in the past and he had heard of it.
“Since you know each other, then sit down and talk.” Lin Fan said.
Since his senior brother died after fighting against the Alliance, that meant that they were family.
Cha Fu sat down. Although he didn’t know how the top blade of the Imperial Dynasty turned into a pig, he still believed what he said. At the same time, he was wondering who the young kid was?
The fact that he was able to sit together with Zhu Shen meant that he wasn’t an average person.
But looking at his age, he shouldn’t have been too strong.
Cha Fu’s two disciples wanted to sit but Cha Fu’s stare terrified them such that they stood up right away.
“The two of you should go find some food to eat.”
“Master, it is so late. Where can we even find food?” The tall and thin guy found this to be a problem. But when he saw his Master’s gaze, he knew that he had to try even if he couldn’t.
Very quickly, the two disciples went out.
Zhu Shen asked curiously, “I remember that Qianji Mountain is a little far from here. Why are you here?”
Cha Fu was really helpless.
“Haiz, it is a long story…” Cha Fu started to recall and he told them everything.
They understood the rough situation.
It had to start from when the Alliance had broken through the border city.
As expected, things were in a mess.
Qianji Mountain was taken by sects who created their own dynasty. Some chose to surrender, but Cha Fu was unwilling and left the sect with his two disciples.
Along the way, they bumped into many things too.
Zhu Shen asked, “Has your cultivation reached Dao Realm?”
Cha Fu said, “No, I am only at Domain Realm.”
“Domain Realm, that is a little weak.” Lin Fan said.
The moment he said this, Cha Fu looked right at Lin Fan like he had seen a ghost.
Domain Realm is weak?
Stop kidding. A person at that realm isn’t weak at all.
“This friend, you are still young. Maybe you don’t know about the different realms, Domain Realm…” Cha Fu wanted to lecture Lin Fan, but before he was able to, Zhu Shen interrupted him.
“Young Master Lin knows a lot about it. He might look young but he is already at Dao Realm.” Zhu Shen said.
Cha Fu blinked in disbelief.
You are telling me that he is a Dao Realm expert at this age?
That is impossible.
Lin Fan sighed, “The world is complicated and you are an ant if you aren’t in Dao Realm. You won’t be able to fight against the Alliance.”
He started to act cool.
Cha Fu didn’t expect that at Domain Realm he would be called an ant.
That was a little too much.
