"Who... Uh... the Demoness???"
He was just about to blow up, but then he saw Murong Dieyi rushing toward them, leading the Demonic Sect disciples, her killing intent soaring!
The moment he saw who it was, Ji Yifan swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
The two had never crossed paths, but he'd heard plenty about the Demonic Sect's Demoness.
Though she was a woman, her methods were vicious beyond measure. She showed not the slightest mercy, even to her own sectmates!
If you provoked her, you'd be in for serious trouble!
What's more, she represented the Demonic Sect, a bunch of people who spent all year killing and grew stronger through battle!
If things were handled badly, the Taixu Sacred Land could end up at war with the Demonic Sect. The consequences would be too serious for him to deal with.
Lin Fan, meanwhile, had been lost in a pleasant fantasy when he suddenly shuddered in fright.
"???"
He turned around and saw Murong Dieyi, her face icy and her purple eyes filled with overwhelming killing intent. He froze.
The Demoness?
She... knew him???
She didn't look like she'd come in peace!
Before he could say a word,
Murong Dieyi stared fixedly at Lin Fan's bewildered face, raised her slender hand, and said coldly, "Kill!"
"Yes!!!"
At her command, the Demonic Sect disciples all answered at once!
In an instant,
Demonic Qi burst from their bodies as they transformed into streaks of shadow and charged straight at Lin Fan!
This sudden turn of events
sent the entire crowd into an uproar!
"What's going on?!"
"What did Lin Fan do? Why is the Demonic Sect attacking him?!"
"If the Demonic Sect wants someone dead, I doubt there's any escaping..."
Everyone looked at Murong Dieyi, her killing intent soaring, then at the bewildered Lin Fan.
At that moment, they were all completely baffled. They had no idea what was going on.
As for the person at the center of it all...
Lin Fan saw that the Demoness wasn't going to say a word and was simply going to take his life...
"You... You..."
"Demoness, have you got the wrong idea? We've never had any bad blood, have we?"
He cried out in a panic, frantically trying to remember when he'd ever crossed the Demonic Sect.
But no matter how hard he thought, nothing came to mind.
So why was she trying to kill him the moment she showed up???
With several terrifying attacks bearing down on him,
Lin Fan could only use a secret technique to dodge. He didn't even think of fighting back.
"Old Yu, what's going on?!"
He hurriedly asked, but didn't dare let his guard down for even a moment.
Every one of those people was far stronger than him!
One or two would have been manageable,
but dozens, even hundreds, of Demonic Sect disciples were charging straight at him!
Even with his incredible fortune, if he tried to fight to the death, he'd probably end up not even leaving behind scraps...
Hearing Lin Fan's question from inside the ring, Old Yu's face twitched, even though he was only a soul.
"I told you to keep a low profile. How am I supposed to know what's going on now?"
"Did you attack someone from the Demonic Sect while I was asleep? I told you, the last people you should ever provoke are the Demonic Sect. Honestly, you..."
He was so exasperated with Lin Fan he could barely stand it. He'd never imagined he'd end up saddled with such a reckless brat!
Lin Fan had been about to join the Dao Yi Sacred Sect, but then the Saintess had suddenly made a move against him.
Now, after passing the trials at the ceremony, he was about to enter the Taixu Sacred Land—only for the Demoness to show up with her people and take his life!
Thinking it over...
Old Yu was on the verge of tears. This kid was far too good at stirring up trouble!
"Could this so-called incredible fortune actually be bad luck?"
At this point, he could only think of one possibility. Otherwise, how else could he explain it?
Hearing Old Yu's words, Lin Fan was frantic with worry.
"I... I didn't!"
He was completely at a loss. He really couldn't remember doing anything to offend the Demonic Sect.
Meanwhile,
elsewhere,
Su Changqing was watching Lin Fan get surrounded by the Demonic Sect disciples with great interest.
"So this is what it means to watch the fire from across the river?"
He blinked, settling in to enjoy the show.
Just then,
the Dao Yi Sacred Sect disciples heard Lin Fan's name and exchanged glances.
"Lin Fan? I remember him. Isn't he the guy who wanted to join the Dao Yi Sacred Sect a while back?"
"It really is him!"
"I can't believe he ran all the way here. We've searched high and low for him..."
Once they recognized Lin Fan, killing intent appeared in their eyes.
Because earlier,
the Saintess had said that if they ever saw this man again, they were to kill him!
Among them,
one of the Dao Yi Sacred Sect disciples hurriedly reported to Su Changqing, "Holy Son, this Lin Fan is someone the Saintess wants dead!"
"He got away last time, but now that we've found him..."
He didn't finish, instead waiting respectfully for Su Changqing's response.
"Oh?"
Su Changqing pretended not to know and glanced at the disciple who had reported to him. "In that case, go ahead."
"Whether he lives or dies doesn't matter."
At those words,
the others exchanged glances, nodded, and left!
By then,
Lin Fan had already been chased until he was coughing up blood, his injuries growing worse by the moment.
"Damn it!!!"
No matter how he questioned her, the Demoness wouldn't answer him at all.
