The next day, Lin Fan left the Lin Clan and arrived at the Kun Sect!
While Lin Fan enjoyed a massage aboard his nine-dragon carriage, resting with his eyes closed as he waited, [Ding! The Son of Fortune's old grandpa has been severely injured and fallen unconscious. Xiao Huohuo has temporarily lost an important source of support!]
[Host has gained Villain Points x30,000]
A system notification rang in Lin Fan's ears.
Lin Fan froze. Villain Points? Xiao Huohuo's old grandpa had been severely injured? He had done nothing, so why had Villain Points come rolling in?
"Xiao Huohuo really does have an old grandpa!"
Soon, several Kun Sect elders hurried over with grim faces, bringing a middle-aged man covered in blood in their custody.
Clearly, something bad had happened. They muttered something to Ji Changju.
Ji Changju looked at the elders and snapped, "Still no news of Xiao Huohuo? Does he no longer care whether his father, Xiao Tianzhan, lives?"
"Xiao Huohuo's father?"
Lin Fan could not help feeling curious. With a thought, he instinctively checked the panel. "System, show me this man's system panel."
[Name: Xiao Tianzhan] [Identity: Clan head of the Xiao Clan of Wutan City, Xiao Huohuo's father] [Cultivation: Peak Spirit Sea Realm] [Life script: After suffering years of torture at the Kun Sect's hands, he dies at the Lin Clan's hands. Xiao Huohuo flies into a rage upon learning this. After attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal, he seeks to erase and destroy the Lin Clan, then later disappears...]
Lin Fan's pupils contracted. He would never have known without looking, and the sight gave him a fright. "Xiao Huohuo wants to destroy the Lin Clan?"
Before Lin Fan could think further, Ji Changju stepped forward and interrupted his thoughts.
Ji Changju bowed respectfully to Lin Fan and reported the news that had just arrived. "Imperial scion, we just received news of Xiao Huohuo..."
"Speak!"
"Half a day ago, some sect disciples discovered Xiao Huohuo. Two Half-Sage elders of our sect went to capture him, but both perished..."
At this point, Ji Changju hesitated.
Hearing this, Lin Fan guessed this incident had earned him those Villain Points. He frowned. "If you have something to say, say it!"
Ji Changju said, "We heard that two Sages from your esteemed clan eventually intervened. In the end, Xiao Huohuo severely injured one Sage and escaped! He should be heading toward Luo River Province!"
Ji Kun could not help breaking into a sweat. "I know why Xiao Huohuo is going to Luo River Province. He once told me he wanted to go to the Primordial Chaos Realm. It is about to open, and he wants to find Chaos Origin to expand his Spirit Sea and use it to break through to the Heavenly Dipper Realm!"
Xiao Huohuo killing people from the Kun Sect was one thing.
But those were people from the supreme imperial Lin Clan! He actually dared to severely injure one of them. He was far too bold, offending the Lin Clan to the death.
"What a Xiao Huohuo!"
"You repeatedly injure members of my Lin Clan and hold us in utter disregard. It seems I, the imperial scion, have no choice but to kill you."
Lin Fan's face was expressionless, but his tone was icy to the extreme!
No matter what, he had to kill Xiao Huohuo. There were simply too many reasons.
Whether it was the Villain Points from this boy...
Or Xiao Huohuo destroying the Lin Clan, as mentioned in Xiao Tianzhan's script.
That was the most important point of all.
He would not allow anyone to pose even the slightest... threat to the Lin Clan!
He would rewrite the script.
When he thought about it, he was the one who had caused his clan's Sage to be injured. He had issued orders to the Lin Clan's experts in Tiankun Province to put Xiao Huohuo on the wanted list and assist the Kun Sect in capturing him.
As for several Sages failing to capture Xiao Huohuo...
Lin Fan was not particularly surprised. It was perfectly normal for a few Sages and Half-Sages to fail to capture Xiao Huohuo when he had an old grandpa.
Still, judging by the system's announcement, Xiao Huohuo's old grandpa had ultimately fallen into slumber. Losing a trump card counted as half a piece of good news.
"Hahaha, good, good, good! As expected of my son, Xiao Huohuo! What can you do to my son?"
Hearing that Xiao Huohuo had escaped and even injured a Sage, the blood-covered Xiao Tianzhan, who seemed to have been tortured for a long time and was somewhat delirious, burst into crazed laughter.
"Fuck!"
"Cover his fucking mouth, now!"
Ji Changju was alarmed. "Who the fuck let this madman stay here? If he angers the imperial scion, none of us can bear the consequences!"
Anyone could see that the imperial scion was in a foul mood, yet Xiao Tianzhan had to jump out and court death. Courting his own death was one thing, but he wanted to drag them down with him.
Coming to their senses, the Kun Sect elders darted forward to cover Xiao Tianzhan's mouth, wishing they could tear it apart.
"Kill him!"
Lin Fan swept a cold glance over Xiao Tianzhan and gave the order.
The Kun Sect elders trembled, not daring to breathe loudly.
Boom!
Upon receiving Lin Fan's order, Ji Changju unleashed his Half-Sage might without hesitation and exploded Xiao Tianzhan's head with a slap. Xiao Tianzhan died on the spot.
Xiao Tianzhan's death brought Lin Fan an unexpected windfall: [Ding! Xiao Tianzhan has perished. An important figure in Xiao Huohuo's destiny has perished. Gained 50,000 Villain Points.]
"Destroy the Xiao Clan too!"
"Let Xiao Huohuo learn the consequences of offending my Lin Clan."
Lin Fan understood that when cutting weeds, one had to pull out the roots. Both Xiao Huohuo's template and his slaughter of Lin Clan members strengthened Lin Fan's resolve to kill him.
"Let's go. To the Primordial Chaos Realm!"
After leaving those words, Lin Fan moved to enter his carriage.
Receiving the order, the Kun Sect elders bowed respectfully and breathed sighs of relief, cold light flashing in their eyes. The Xiao Clan was merely a small clan within the Kun Sect's territory, easily destroyed with a wave of the hand. They immediately ordered its extermination.
Not long after setting off.
Lin Fan heard a system notification. [Ding! The Xiao Clan of Wutan City has been destroyed. Congratulations on obtaining Villain Points x40,000 and the item Max-Level Comprehension Trial Card x1!]
Max-Level Comprehension Trial Card: Upon use, the host gains max-level comprehension, allowing him to comprehend cultivation methods, divine abilities, and the Great Dao, with endless wondrous applications. This trial lasts two and a half hours.
The corners of Lin Fan's lips curled upward. "Xiao Huohuo, we will meet very soon. This is my greeting gift to you. I hope you like the surprise..."
The imperial Luo Clan!
This was a secluded land hidden from the world.
At this moment, the Luo Clan welcomed an eminent figure: Great Emperor Hongyun of the supreme imperial Wang Clan.
Clad in red robes, Great Emperor Hongyun followed the Luo Clan head into the deepest reaches of the Luo Clan.
There was an enormous floating immortal island here, upon which three figures sat cross-legged. They were the Luo Clan's three great ancestors: Great Emperor Xinghe, Great Emperor Hongding, and Great Emperor Fenghen.
"I heard that the Lin Clan's little bastard has come to Luo River Province, your Luo Clan's territory!"
"And you can still sit so calmly? You have done nothing but hide in your secret realm cultivating. Has the Luo Clan truly swallowed this insult and become afraid of the Lin Clan?"
Great Emperor Hongyun glanced over the three great ancestors. Before the Luo Family Ancestor could speak, he spoke first, looking at them with contempt, his tone mocking.
"My Wang Clan originally intended to work with you to kill the Lin Clan's little bastard!"
"But now that I am here, I see that the Lin Clan's father and son really have beaten your Luo Clan into not daring to make a sound."
"Do not blame me for failing to warn you. This is your last chance to kill that boy. If your Luo Clan misses it, you will never have another chance to turn things around."
After hearing Great Emperor Chiyan's words, the three Luo Clan ancestors remained silent, their faces dark as water.
Naturally, they had received word the moment Lin Fan came to Luo River Province.
But last time, Lin Dong and the other Great Emperor had beaten the Luo Clan into seclusion. All three of the Luo Clan's Great Emperor ancestors had suffered severe injuries, and those injuries had yet to heal!
But how could they dare make a move against Lin Fan?
Their scars had yet to heal, so how could they forget the pain? They had no doubt that if they attacked Lin Fan, the Luo Clan would be erased from the Three Thousand Provinces of the Desolate Ancient Land.
"Ancestors! Is our Luo Clan simply going to swallow this insult?"
The Luo Clan head spoke in a low voice, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at the Great Emperors.
The dead were his own father, Great Emperor Baiyun, his own elder brother, Great Emperor Shenshang, and his nephew, Luo Chen.
Naturally, the Luo Clan did not dare attack Lin Fan again.
What would killing Lin Fan accomplish?
Once Lin Fan died, the Lin Clan would likewise exterminate the Luo Clan. They could not bear such consequences. But now, with the Wang Clan's cooperation, his Luo Clan had nothing to fear from the Lin Clan. Naturally, he did not want to swallow this insult.
"Hmph!"
"Old Hongyun, did you come to our Luo Clan today just to mock us?"
"Neither of us has any right to criticize the other. Do not think this emperor does not know that your Wang Clan's Great Emperor Chiyan died at the hands of a Lin Clan expert. I have hardly seen your Wang Clan do anything about it!"
After a long silence, the three Great Emperor ancestors exchanged glances. As dignified Great Emperors, they naturally could not swallow this insult.
The speaker was a white-haired old man in blue robes, the Luo Clan's first ancestor, Great Emperor Xinghe. He snorted coldly. "If you have a plan, speak plainly! Our Luo Clan is willing to cooperate."
He was clearly displeased that Great Emperor Hongyun had torn open the Luo Clan's scars. Both clans were brothers in misfortune, so the elder brother had no business criticizing the younger!
"First, find a chance to test whether this boy has a Dao protector!"
"Private fights are forbidden in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Send the juniors to find an opportunity. We can use the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to test him!"
Great Emperor Hongyun sneered and drew a hand across his throat. "If he has no Dao protector, we strike together and kill him."
The three Luo Clan ancestors fell silent, feeling that this plan was far too risky. Great Emperor Hongyun saw through their thoughts and said, "I have another plan!"
No one knew what they discussed afterward, but in the end, they exchanged smiles and let out sinister cackles!
