Bumping into Liang Yongqi along the way was a really good thing; at least they didn’t see him die along the way.
But if they had met him a little later, he would have thought that Liang Yongqi might have died from starvation on the side of the road.
Liang Yongqi was just too weak and the initial faith that he had was still very fragile. He had pretty much no hope of getting strong by cultivating on his own. If he raised his faith to the peak, then maybe he could become an expert as outstanding as Gou’zi.
But that path was also a tough one to take.
Faith didn’t depend on talent and comprehension but on whether or not the person knew how to suck up.
For example, Gou’zi and his cousin were both extremely loyal to him. Since he obtained the Darkness God Domain and activated this faith pathway, they were connected to him through faith and obtained extraordinary amounts of help.
Two purple-colored faith threads were connected to him. One of them was Gou’zi and one was Cousin.
Gou’zi was unable to control his strong power but Cousin definitely could. Cousin was really strong and obtained many great opportunities in life. He transmitted his strength over to Cousin through the faith thread.
With the current situation, Cousin’s cultivation was enough to reach Dao Realm Stage One.
No matter where such a person was, he would be able to protect himself. As long as he didn’t bump into those terrifying people, nothing dangerous would happen.
A few days later, the Alliance made their move. What Lin Fan did at Valley City made the Alliance really angry but their hands hadn’t stretched out so far yet.
It was too risky to gather too many people to enter a place that wasn’t under the Alliance’s control.
It was indeed a problem to enter land that didn’t belong to them.
Lin Fan’s age was a huge problem. He was just too young and too strong. It was just too dangerous to keep him alive. To the Allinace, it was best if they eradicated him directly.
But based on what the Alliance predicted and estimated, the power that Lin Fan had was not normal. Mao Shentai failed to kill him. Although Lin Fan didn’t deal any injuries to Mao Shentai, it still showed that his ability to fight was unusual as well.
This was why the Alliance wanted to make use of the top sects by making them feel pressured.
They would work together to kill this common enemy.
However, things didn’t happen the way that the Alliance imagined it.
They informed the top sects of the situation and also told them about Lin Fan.
But what they didn’t expect was that the top sects would all be really calm and they didn’t do anything.
What was going on?
The Alliance had no idea what was going on.
It wasn’t that there was a problem with the Alliance’s infomation dissemination, or that the top sects didn’t receive the news.
When the top sects got the news, some people immediately went to report to the elders.
They were terrified.
He was less than 20 but his cultivation was at Dao Realm Stage Two. Moreover, he was Lin Wanyi’s son. That was just shocking… so terrifying that it could kill someone.
This outcome was something that no one expected.
No matter which sect they were from, when the elder saw the news, they weren’t shocked but furious.
They kicked the person who passed on the news.
What he meant was obvious.
Did you think that we were fools?
Use your pig brain to think whether or not that was possible. Was the infomation worth believing?
The person that the elder scolded was stunned. Thinking about it, it felt impossible, no… it was not only impossible, it was definitely impossible.
He had never heard of someone who could reach Dao Realm Stage Two at just 20 years old.
Even if they started cultivating from the realm that wouldn’t be possible.
The top sects only had one thought which was that that the person who was spreading the news had something planned. Lin Wanyi wasn’t dead and now someone wanted them to kill his son. Wasn’t that person trying to hurt them?
Lin Wanyi only had one son and if he died, they would suffer from his wrath.
To the top sects, they didn’t even need to think and they knew who was behind this.
Apart from the Alliance, who else could it be?
Damn.
Even if you wanted us to kill someone for you, at least give me a reliable reason. Did you think that the top sects were all fools?
Thus, this matter became slightly awkward.
There really was nothing that they could do.
The Alliance really wanted to know the reason why nothing was happening. They thought that it was because Lin Fan was hard to find which was why they hadn’t located him in a while.
What they didn’t know was that their actions caused the top sects to hate them.
Even those who they had once worked with in the past only had one thought in their minds; the Alliance was trying to con them.
“Young Master, the sky is about to turn dark. We should find a place to rest.” Gou’zi looked at the sky and it was quite late. If they hadn’t found a place to stay by the time the sky was dark, then they would have to spend the night outside.
“Eh.” Lin Fan replied.
Actually, he could have returned long ago.
But he didn’t and toured the area outside to memorize the surrounding environment. In the future, when he occupied the land he would be able to know clearly where his territory was.
But the situation disappointed him.
There was actually no one he could develop his faith on.
The world looked really calm but he knew that a storm was brewing and that nothing could stop it.
The four Alliances were fine for now because they knew that their final enemy was the Alliance.
As for the Imperial Dynasty, they didn’t care much about it.
The Imperial Dynasty was just a puppet. King Wutong’s rebellion succeeded but he lost so many people. No one knew where the experts of the original Imperial Dynasty were and they didn’t even stay to fight against the Alliance.
Some said that the experts hid in the forests and mountains but many sects felt that they were gathered somewhere and waiting for their chance.
“So fragrant.” Lin Fan said.
The sky slowly turned dark but there was a fragrance that wafted into their noses.
Liang Yongqi was hungry and hadn’t eaten in a long time. Meat was a luxury for him and he picked up the scent right away.
“Meat!”
“It is the meat of a wild animal.”
Liang Yongqi said as he looked into the distance. One could see light from the flames right in front of them.
“Your nose is quite amazing.” Lin Fan looked at Liang Yongqi. Maybe this was an ability he trained through spending a lot of time outside.
Liang Yongqi scratched his head and laughed. But his expression was one of anticipation.
It was anticipation towards meat.
Very quickly, the light got closer and closer. The people around seemed to have heard their movement and were really nervous. Their bodies were tensed up and they could hear the sounds of weapons being held.
But when they saw that Lin Fan and the others were so young, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Since they were young, their strengths should have been similar and they shouldn’t have posed a threat.
Lin Fan looked at the people around the fire.
They were all really young, and of course, their cultivation was weak too.
Two guys and one girl. The guys were normal people, but truthfully, they were quite outstanding. However, to Lin Fan, since he was more vain, he felt like he was great.
As for the girl, she was indeed very beautiful and didn’t look like a normal person.
To Lin Fan, he had seen too many girls and had been maintaining a decent mental state. Thus, he didn’t hate girls but he didn’t love them either.
He was just so calm.
When Lin Fan was looking at them, the three of them looked back. They were just sizing up one another.
At the same time, one of the two guys said:
“Be careful. We don’t know where he came from, so don’t be careless.” The guy who spoke was called Chen Feng and he was the shortest. He was at most 165cm. His eyes were bright and looked really shifty, “I think our sister-in-law is too beautiful and even attracted three perverts late at night. Let’s just hope they don’t ask to get beaten up, otherwise, I don’t mind teaching them a lesson.”
“Junior Brother, please be more polite. They are just passing by and they’re not doing anything.” The handsome guy opposite the girl said.
He got up and cupped his fists, “I am He Fei and I am sorry for my cousin being rude.”
Lin Fan smiled coldly. “It is okay.”
Gou’zi gathered all the timber together and lit it up. As for Liang Yongqi, he stared at the wild boar on their fire and gulped. His saliva was about to drool.
Chen Feng muttered, “Junior Brother, look at his gaze. I was telling you that this group of people aren’t good and they have nefarious intentions.”
“Talk less, he is just staring at the meat. Go split some of it with them.” He Fei said, “Be nice. Stop being rude.”
Chen Feng was helpless; he didn’t want to share food with these unknown people. Moreover, the way they looked at his sister-in-law was a little off.
That was what he felt and he wasn’t sure if that was actually the case but he had no choice.
Chen Feng could only slice off a bit of meat from the wild boar but He Fei stopped him. He blamed him for being petty and sliced off an entire leg.
Chen Feng pouted. Although he was unhappy, he still walked towards Lin Fan and passed the meat to them. “Here, my Senior Brother asked me to give it to you all.”
He stared furiously at Liang Yongqi, “Be careful with your eyes and stop looking around. That is my sister-in-law, my Senior Brother’s wife. You’re not allowed to think about her.”
Liang Yongqi was stunned.
I wasn’t even looking at her.
I was looking at the meat.
Lin Fan nodded towards He Fei like he was grateful for his action.
Chen Feng saw Liang Yongqi’s gaze shift and thought that it was because he listened to him. He turned around and left.
“Senior Brother, I have already warned that kid. Don’t worry, sister-in-law. He won’t dare to look at you anymore. If he dares, then I will teach him a lesson.” Chen Feng said.
“You…” The girl shook her head bitterly. She knew that he wasn’t looking at him but at the meat in front of her.
However, she didn’t say anything more.
At the same time, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She felt fortunate that they were just normal people.
