"Buzz!"
As soon as Lin Fan's Origin Spirit Talisman approached, it immediately trembled and transformed into a palm-sized Spirit Talisman Vortex.
The Spirit Talisman Vortex emitted threads of Spiritual Power that shone like beams of light onto the Ancestral Symbol Rubbing on the wall.
As the spiritual light shone upon it, the Ancestral Symbol Rubbing on the wall began reflecting rays of light as well.
As they converged, they outlined two maps.
One map depicted the Great Yan Dynasty, while the other showed a different place.
The Spiritual Maps did not remain for long before turning into streams of light and shooting into the Spirit Talisman Vortex.
The vortex wriggled for a moment, then transformed back into the Origin Spirit Talisman and entered Lin Fan's mind.
"Time to leave."
Lin Fan glanced at the walls on either side. The Ancestral Symbol Rubbings upon them had faded considerably, and the original fallen bodies had vanished as well.
Shaking his head, Lin Fan headed outside.
After he left the Ninth Layer, the walls on both sides that bore the Ancestral Symbol Rubbings suddenly shattered, eventually turning into a pile of ash, as though they had never existed.
When Lin Fan arrived at the Seventh Layer, he saw Lin Dong cultivating there.
He did not disturb Lin Dong and continued walking out.
Given the special nature of the Ancient Vortex Talisman, Lin Dong should be able to break through to become a Three-Seal Talisman Master here.
In any case, the Spiritual Power here was still abundant. Lin Dong would only absorb a small portion of it.
Upon leaving the Symbol Master Tower, Lin Fan immediately spotted the figure standing nearby like a wooden post.
Master Yan stared fixedly at Lin Fan and could not help asking, "Lin Fan, did you go up to the Ninth Layer?"
After all, even he had never reached the Ninth Layer of the Symbol Master Tower.
Lin Fan chuckled. "Is getting to the Ninth Layer difficult?"
"Difficult?"
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Master Yan dearly wanted to punch him.
"Kid, you finally came out!"
Han Yun stepped forward and said coldly, "You dared to cripple my disciple. Today, I'll cripple you too!"
Boom!
Powerful Spiritual Power erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption, radiating a dazzling glow as it ruthlessly crushed toward Lin Fan.
"Han Yun, this is Flame City, not your Skyfire City!"
Yan Xuan snorted coldly and was about to unleash his own Spiritual Power.
However, Lin Fan stopped him. "Master Yan, he doesn't need you to deal with him!"
As he spoke, a force of Divine Sense several times stronger than Han Yun's Spiritual Power collided head-on with it.
Boom!
Invisible Spiritual Fluctuations spread out from the point of impact, transforming into a howling gale that swept through the area, causing the surrounding Symbol Masters to stagger about.
The spirit was connected to the soul, so such clashes were especially dangerous.
Lin Fan's Divine Sense was far more solid than Han Yun's Spiritual Power, and its quantity was much greater as well.
With both quality and quantity at an absolute disadvantage, Han Yun's Spiritual Power collapsed directly in the collision.
Pfft!
His face instantly turned pale, and he could not stop a mouthful of blood from spraying out. His body flew backward like a kite with a snapped string, smashing into the many Symbol Masters from Skyfire City.
Uproar!
Seeing Han Yun heavily injured by Lin Fan in a single strike, cries of shock rang out all around.
After all, Han Yun was a powerful Four Seal Talisman Master.
Yet now, he had suffered such a miserable defeat at the hands of a young man like Lin Fan.
At that moment, even the people of Flame City were dumbfounded.
They knew Lin Fan's Yuan Power cultivation was formidable enough to kill experts at Essence Core Realm Great Perfection.
But they had never imagined that his attainments in Spiritual Power would be equally terrifying.
A Four Seal Talisman Master was comparable to an expert at Essence Core Realm Great Perfection. Since Lin Fan could crush him so effortlessly, it meant he could likewise kill such an opponent with ease.
To cultivate both Yuan Power and Spiritual Power while achieving such attainments—Lin Fan could no longer be called a genius.
At this moment, everyone regarded him as a monster.
"Spiritual Power comparable to a Five-Seal Spirit Talisman Master!"
Han Yun took a deep breath and said, "I never expected Flame City to produce such a person. This time, Skyfire City admits defeat."
With that, he waved a hand at the Symbol Masters from Skyfire City. "Let's go..."
However, before they could leave, Lin Fan spoke up. "Hold it. Did I say you could go?"
"Lin Fan, don't go too far!"
Han Yun's expression darkened. "If you attack me, it will mean that the talisman masters of Flame City are going to war with those of Skyfire City!"
"When you attacked me, why didn't you think of that? Did you think the talisman masters of Flame City were easy to bully?"
Lin Fan sneered. "Besides, so what if the talisman masters of the two cities go to war? I alone can wipe all of you out!"
"You..."
Han Yun clenched his fists tightly. In the end, he forced out a smile, cupped his hands, and said, "I was impulsive in this matter. I hope you will not hold it against me, young friend."
Lin Fan said, "Since you know you were wrong, come over here and kowtow to apologize."
"Lin Fan, don't bully people too far!"
Han Yun gritted his teeth.
Lin Fan said, "I'm bullying you. So what?"
Since the other party had dared to attack him, he naturally would not be polite.
After all, he was not someone who repaid grievances with kindness, nor was he capable of forgiving others so easily.
Han Yun's mouth twitched, but he no longer dared to make any harsh threats.
He had already realized that Lin Fan was deliberately provoking him now, looking for an excuse to attack.
If he were a Five-Seal Spirit Talisman Master, he would probably have fallen out with the other party on the spot. A fight was just a fight.
But his strength was inferior to the other party's, so he could only swallow his pride.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Han Yun dropped to his knees with a "thud."
Amid the crowd's incredulous stares, Han Yun kowtowed once to Lin Fan and said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have attacked you. Will you let me go now?"
"What?!"
The scene erupted into an uproar.
No one had expected Han Yun to truly cast aside his pride and kneel before a junior.
Lin Fan stared deeply at Han Yun, though a nearly imperceptible chill flickered in the depths of his eyes.
Naturally, he could tell that the other party was not sincerely admitting fault. He was merely doing so out of necessity to protect himself.
Someone capable of enduring humiliation to such an extent would likely be more ruthless than anyone else when seeking revenge.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Fan spoke indifferently. "Since you know you were wrong, get lost."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yun rose to his feet and left without looking back.
Seeing Han Yun depart, the other talisman masters from Skyfire City also fled in disarray.
Lin Fan had no intention of truly letting the other party go. There were too many people here now; although he could kill Han Yun, it would be inconvenient for him to devour the man's Spiritual Power.
If so many people witnessed it, he would likely become the public enemy of all talisman masters.
After all, no one could be sure whether he would devour the Spiritual Power of other talisman masters as well.
