Chapter 296: Honorable task

The Divine Religion’s sixth district.

“Lord, our plan failed. They found out about Li An in the Lunar Mountain city, and the Yuan crystal mine is now under the Invincible peak leader’s control.”

A follower said, kneeling in the headquarters.

“Oh, is that so?” A man could be seen sitting on a black-colored throne. There wasn’t any flesh or skin on his hand; it was just a skeleton. He wore a ring with a huge gem on his hands.

He might sound calm, but it made chills run down the follower’s spine.

“Such an idiot. It was such a simple task, yet he was discovered.”

They found out that there was a Yuan crystal mine in the Lunar Mountain city. Still, they couldn’t collect the Yuan crystals on a large scale. It would attract the Magnificent Flame Sect, and they’d end up in an open conflict.

Thus, he sneaked into the Lunar Mountain city and tricked Li An to control the mine for them. Had they succeeded, the mine would belong to the Divine Religion.

Drip, drip~

It was so silent that they could hear a pin drop. The follower knew that his lord was deep in thought.

“The Invincible peak leader, huh? Interesting. But we can’t let the mine slip out of our hands. What should we do?” the man mumbled to himself.

“Lord, the mine is critical. And he’s just a peak leader. We should give it a shot. It will take at least half a day for their people to come from the Magnificent Flame sect. We just have to take down the Lunar Mountain City by locking the city down with a formation and snatch the mine away. The Magnificent Flame Sect can’t do anything even if they reach later.”

“Hmm. The sect might go crazy, but I like it. Let me see how good the Invincible peak leader is, then.”

Lunar Mountain city.

Huang Fugui’s house.

Lin Fan sat on the ground crossed-legged and took out the writing tablet he got from the Thousand deep chambers. Two formations were recorded on it, and they were complicated and mysterious.

Lin Fan sighed helplessly.

~It costs a million points! Is this formation made of diamonds? Damn it.~

“Should I?”

The decision made Lin Fan’s head hurt. ~Should I learn it? What’s the use of it?~

~ It’s a sealing formation, but who do I need to seal? I usually punch them to death after all; what’s the point of sealing them?~

With that, Lin Fan made up his mind. ~Learn your foot. I might as well use the points to make myself stronger. That’s what I’ll do.~

“Learn your head. Waste of points. Do you know how many points the Cutting space skills cheated me off? I wasted so much because of it! I will only learn skillsets that use brute force in the future. The others are a waste of time.”

Thus, Lin Fan placed the other skillsets that he got from the Thousand deep chambers in the invincible peak for the disciples’ usage.

Emotions and desire destruction skillset, The most honorable skillset, and Ceramic glazed body.

However, he hid the first skillset, not allowing any disciple to find it. ~ What’s left in life if you don’t have emotions or desires?~

~The other two skillsets were alright. They allow the cultivator to perform stunning special effects. I have also put up other random skillsets that I got to make up the numbers.~

“Mhmm?”

Just then, Lin Fan opened his eyes wide all of a sudden. He could feel something going on outside.

“Senior brother, bad news!”

He could hear Lu Qiming call for him.

Lin Fan pushed the door open and dashed out. Lu Qiming and the others could be seen running towards him in a panic.

Lin Fan looked up at the sky, frowning. Black, ominous clouds could be seen billowing into the skies above the Lunar Mountain city.

The scene made fear wash over the Lunar Mountain city citizens. It was as if the end of the world had come.

“Senior brother, what’s going on?” Lu Qiming and the rest were filled with worry. They could feel a terrifying aura seep through the city.

“Could it be that the mine has been discovered, and they are trying to snatch it before the Magnificent Flame Sect’s team is here?”

Lin Fan mumbled, a sneer on his face.

“Great. Let me see who’s so daring. Guard the city, I’ll go take a look.”

“Yes, senior brother.” Lu Qiming nodded. Knowing that he was weak, he knew that helping to maintain the city’s order and helping to calm the citizens would be more helpful. His weak ability would only result in him dragging Lin Fan down if he were to follow him.

The city walls.

Lin Fan put his hands behind him, looking into the distance.

“Presumptuous. This is the Magnificent Flame Sect’s Lunar Moutain city; who are you! Show yourself if you dare.”

As soon as Lin Fan finished his sentence, he sent out a punch, making the space shake. A powerful force could be felt. It shattered space and went into the distance.

“Invincible peak leader, I’ve heard of you for a long time. I’m excited to finally meet you.”

The force was blocked and dispersed. A huge skeleton could be seen coming from the black clouds. Black fog could be seen where its eyes should be.

The black clouds separated into two, and a throne could be seen in the middle. A figure sat on the throne, looking down at the Lunar Mountain city.

Numerous black-colored clouds took the form of skeletons and rushed towards the Lunar Mountain city, hovering over it. Black fog could be seen following behind.

Instantly, a loud explosion could be heard throughout the city.

“The Divine Religion’s Sixth district’s vice guardian, lord Hei Gu is here. Hand over the Yuan crystal mine, and we will spare your lives.”

“Hehe!”

The laughter bombarded the entire city.

“It’s the Divine Religion again.”

Lin Fan didn’t expect the Divine Religion to be so daring. This might be the most arrogant move of the Divine religion in history. No, wait, Sir Xuelian was even worse. He even went to the sect itself to take Jun Wutian’s body away.

Just then, numerous bulges could be seen in the black clouds. The bulges exploded, revealing many half-man half-skeletons. They rolled on the ground and stood on their feet, screeching loudly.

“Lord Hei Gu, leave this man to us.” Ten figures appeared next to Hei Gu. Together with their sharp voices, their killing intent could be strongly felt.

Hei Gu raised his hand. “No need. You guys are no match for him. Leave him to me and kill the entire city. Remember to take the Yuan crystal mine.”

“Yes.”

Law of death or life. Lin Fan could tell that the skeleton had understood either one of the laws, which was extremely powerful. It was so powerful that it could easily make one despair.

Watching them approach the city, Lin Fan got an idea. ~If I were to fight this Hei Gu, the other followers will slip into the city. Lu Qiming definitely will not be able to resist them; he and the citizens will most likely end up dead.”

Just then, Lin Fan took a step out, floating in the sky.

“Senior brother.”

Lu Qiming and the rest looked up, worried. The sky was filled with enemies, and Lin Fan was the only person fighting them. This left the citizens with little hope.

This was the first time most of the citizens met the Divine Religion.

“Hahahaha! Invincible peak leader, you’re indeed daring. Are you planning to fight all of us alone?”

“As a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple, it’s my duty to protect them. If you want to harm my citizens, you have to first step over my dead body.”

Lin Fan said calmly. A fierce intent could be felt coming from him. He was ready to fight the entire group.

“Senior brother.” Lu Qiming looked up at the silhouette of his senior brother. Ignoring the fact that he was in the middle of a crowd, he took out the small notebook and recorded down Lin Fan’s words.

He didn’t know how this fight would turn out, but he was afraid that he would no longer have the chance to do this in the future. He kept the notebook carefully and believed in Lin Fan.

Lu Qiming was determined to pass this notebook down even if he died,

The citizens were shocked to hear Lin Fan.

They always thought that they were the ones working hard to feed those disciples in the sect for nothing.

But now, they understood why. Because in the event of danger, they are the ones who stepped out to protect them.

“Fighting! Lord!”

Suddenly, a child shouted.

The citizens who were terrified got their senses back too.

“Fighting lord!”

Their voices echoed throughout the city.

Lin Fan opened his arms, listening to the cheers.

“Divine Religion, you will never get this feeling, as a cult only knows destruction.”

“What an honorable task it is to protect my citizens. I can feel my blood boil.”

Crack!

Lin Fan’s body kept increasing in size. Even if he was going against an ant, he’d do his best. It was better to be safe than sorry.

“Haha, this is so interesting. Do you think you could stop us yourself? I can play with you while I let my followers treat your citizens well. Everything in this city is mine. Even your life belongs to me.”

“Kill!”

Instantly, numerous figures could be seen gushing out from the black clouds as if they were locusts.

Lin Fan looked up.

“Activate the eye of disdain.”

Instantly, all the followers going towards the city felt their blood boil.

Currently, Lin Fan was their only target.

“What are you guys doing? I told you to attack the city. Where are you going?” Hei Gu, who was in a good mood, suddenly realized that something was wrong. He watched his followers move towards Lin Fan.

Lin Fan then stared at Hei Gu the hardest. ~He should feel the most hate.~

Bang!

Hei Gu stood up in anger. He had lost his calm.

“This bastard deserves to die!”
