Chapter 1551: Chapter 367: Slaying Them One by One, Secret Realm Unlocked, A Thousand Miles of Ice

...

Inner city.

"What happened? Why did those eight demon cultivators explode on the spot?"

The cultivators in the inner city were tremendously shocked, having intended to see how the outer city turned into a purgatory. Who could have thought that they wouldn’t witness a purgatory, but instead, the eight direct disciples of the Blood Demon Ancestor fell on the spot, silently, without anyone understanding how it happened.

Not even a trace remained; originally, it was thought that although the person died, the storage ring would certainly remain. But looking at the current situation, it seems even the storage ring had vanished together.

After the tragic death of the eight demon cultivators, the spiritual treasure hanging high in the air also met a cruel fate, instantly turning to ashes, shocking everyone present.

"There’s an immortal in the outer city..."

Someone shouted fervently, their voice like a sudden thunderclap sweeping across the land.

And after that, others shouted as well.

"Refund..."

One middle-grade spirit stone per person to enter the city, stripping the savings of many loose cultivators. Now, with the outer city unharmed, they felt deceived and couldn’t bear it, only thinking of getting a refund and returning to the outer city.

But the spirit stones had already gone into the pockets of the prestigious families. Getting in was easy, getting out was difficult.

The loose cultivators, who were pushing to get into the inner city, could only swallow their anger.

This matter was resolved, Qi Yan, with a smile on his face, took his daughter, showing no trace of the previous anxiety and fear when he was hiding at home, crying. Ni Haisheng, with his face red from wine, came over to Lin Fan with a wine pot, feeling none of the previous irritability, praising Lin Fan profusely, saying Lin Fan is truly a living immortal, predicting accurately, truly with great fortune, everything safe and sound.

The cultivators who had sold their possessions to obtain a middle-grade spirit stone returned to the outer city in confusion, not knowing what to do next. Years of accumulation cleared out in a single stroke, even the rent for housing in the outer city was hard for them to afford.

This event, for the loose cultivators remaining in the outer city, was a joyous occasion, thinking it would be great to celebrate annually, designating it as a festival.

But for the loose cultivators who sold their possessions to exchange for middle-grade spirit stones to hide in the inner city, it was truly the worst thing in history.

Human emotions are common, but sadness is not.

There’s only mockery and schadenfreude.

Whether a cultivator or an ordinary mortal, it’s all the same.

Afraid that friends suffer, yet afraid that friends flourish.

Truly very contradictory.

The ancestors of the inner city’s cultivation families were stunned into speechlessness.

The direct appearance of Blood Demon Ancestor’s eight true disciples, equipped with the Blood Demon Ancestor’s famed treasure ’Blood God Soul Refining Banner,’ was such a formidable force that even if they all came out to resist, the final result would either be death and path disappearance, or fleeing in disgrace.

Ancestor of the Chen Family trembled with fear, astonished, wondering when such a terrifying cultivator had been hiding in Ling Yuan City.

Not even revealing their face, yet able to suppress and kill the eight true disciples.

How terrifying such abilities must be.

The ancestor of the Chen Family hurriedly passed this matter on to the ancestor of the Baoling Sect.

This was indeed a major event.

Truly an earth-shattering major event.

The fall of the eight true disciples equated to cutting off Blood Demon Ancestor’s left arm, and the loss of the ’Blood God Soul Refining Banner’ equated to cutting off the right arm.

Directly slashing Blood Demon Ancestor into confusion.

...

A year later.

Little Wei An was already eight years old.

Lin Fan had been in the cultivation world for nine years.

Time flies like an arrow, so swiftly passing that even Lin Fan himself never thought it would move so quickly. In the blink of an eye, nine years had gone by. For the local cultivators, nine years passed quickly, with just a little cultivation to pass the time, but for Lin Fan, his heart was actually plagued with suffering.

Ever since the mysterious demise of Blood Demon Ancestor’s direct disciples, rumors spread in the outer city that a powerful cultivator was hiding there, transforming into a loose cultivator, perceiving the Way of cultivation. For this reason, many loose cultivators began to wander the streets idly.

Seeing beggars by the roadside, they treated them kindly. In the past encounters, mortals would shun those beggars, waving them away.

But now, who knows if that master might have unique preferences, disguising as a beggar to experience the mundane world?

If one were to gain the master’s favor and be accepted as a true disciple, inheriting his teachings, wouldn’t that be a path to soaring success?

Thus, the law and morality of the outer city were raised to a very high level during this period.

Even the Wang Family and Li Family in the outer city behaved more honestly.

Daring not to act excessively.

Just as Lin Fan was pondering over some matters, the sound of children quarreling reached his ears.

"Brother An, am I your favorite?" Little Xin’er clung to little Wei An’s arm and coquettishly swayed, fiercely glaring at sister Er’ya beside them.

"Brother An, I am your favorite, right..."

Compared to Little Xin’er, Er’ya was a few years older but half a head taller than little Wei An, directly hugging little Wei An’s neck, wanting to hold him in her arms.

Little Wei An giggled foolishly; though he didn’t cultivate, he was sturdy and healthy, thanks to Lin Fan’s meticulous care and the nourishing effect of Spiritual Energy on a mortal’s body.

Lin Fan never really paid much attention to little Wei An’s academic achievement before, but later, after finding a teacher who eventually couldn’t continue teaching him and left.

Implying indirectly that... this child has a wooden head, quite dull.

Lin Fan used to not mind much, but later intentionally used the ’True Immortal’s Mystical Eye’ and found little Wei An’s spiritual light oddly dim, seemingly suppressed by something exceptional, or perhaps sealed.

For this, he seemed to have understood something.
