Chapter 250: This Fart Is Poisonous

p>Glory Sect…

Nameless Peak…

Lin Fan had been gone for a couple of months now. Nameless Peak, which should have been pretty desolated and lonely, was now bustling with life. One by one, the disciples flowed back and forth with smiles on some of their faces.

“This is good stuff! To think that there’s still something like this! This is great!” A disciple stood in front of a stall and looked at the items on display. Grinning from ear to ear, he took out his money to purchase them.

“Sister Gong! I’ve sold all my Candied Hawthorns over there!” Cai Zhiqiao was carrying her little pouch with the Snow Lion cub in her hand. Both of them had some candy sticking onto the sides of their mouths.

“There’s more with your Senior Brother Zhang. Go take them from him, haha.” And this young woman who was busy over here was none other than Gong Bingye. She was recommending some makeup and beauty products to the female disciples of Jialan Peak.

“Orh!” Cai Zhiqiao wiped her mouth and licked away the candy stains. Hopping along, she hopped to Zhang Ergou and tugged at his sleeves. “Senior Brother! Give me the Candied Hawthorns!”

“Here you go!” Zhang Ergou was really busy right now as well as he handed a sack of items to his Junior Sister.

Cai Zhiqiao happily hopped back to her stall with the sack. Taking out 2 candied hawthorns from it, she took out her little signboard and placed it in front of the stand.

She then sat on the little stone bench and munched happily on her candied hawthorns; one for her and one for her little Snow Lion cub.

…

If Lin Fan were to come back right now, he’d be in absolute disbelief at the sight before him. Was this still the same Nameless Peak of his? Wasn’t this more like a marketplace?!?

Senior Elder Wuya had brought Gong Bingye up to Nameless Peak for interrogation. Under his watchful eyes, Gong Bingye did not dare to lie and told him everything as it was.

After a moment of silence, Senior Elder Wuya relented and allowed Gong Bingye to stay on Nameless Peak. But, she couldn’t continue to address herself as Lin Fan’s wife. After all, nothing was settled until Lin Fan’s return.

But in Wuya’s opinion, Lin Fan had to naturally answer for touching this lovely beauty up and down. But that could only wait till his return as Wuya wondered where that lad had run off to.

The moment Gong Bingye arrived at Nameless Peak and looked at its desolate state, her brain began to move as she thought up of a small plan and discussed it with everyone around.

Zhang Ergou’s brain was sharp, so he was naturally the first one to agree with the plan. And with his authority as the Big Disciple, everyone else agreed as well.

After all, when the Master was not around, everything fell onto the Big Disciple.

After that, Gong Bingye began to take Mie Qiongqi with her to and fro Glory Sect and Mo City to collect the goods. After all, Mie Qiongqi was the strongest around. With him around, Gong Bingye’s safety was assured.

And just like that, Nameless Peak began to bustle with life gradually. Many disciples within the sect began to seek Nameless Peak for favors on items found outside the sect, with compensation agreed on beforehand.

Zhang Ergou and Cai Zhiqiao were especially passionate about these duties. After all, they were more than happy to have Nameless Peak bustling with life. As for Cai Zhiqiao, she could enjoy a boundless amount of candied hawthorn.

…

Dead Demon City…

Lin Fan had stopped before a shopfront.

This was a medicinal shop. With his forte, Lin Fan naturally had a large number of pills with him. If he didn’t start to exchange some of them for the currency of Dead Demon City, even his basic lodgings and food would become an issue.

Tianbao Chambers…

Not bad, a powerful sounding name. Now that Lin Fan was in the Dead Demon City, he wanted to keep a low profile. After what had happened at the entrance, the greater celestial master must definitely be residing within this city. If anything were to screw up, he might be the one with a bad ending.

“Guest, would you like to buy anything?” A shopkeeper of Tianbao Chambers was flipping through the accounts. The moment he saw someone enter, he greeted with a huge smile.

“I want to sell some pills.” Lin Fan said.

“Sorry guest, we only sell pills here. We do not buy any in.” The shopkeeper’s face turned sullen immediately in disappointment, as he went back to sit down and waved Lin Fan away.

Lin Fan surveyed the streets and looked for another place.

“I would like to sell some weapons.”

“Sorry guest, we only sell weapons here. We do not buy any in.”

…

After visiting a few shopfronts, Lin Fan was extremely pissed.

Bloody hell! Which novel was it that stated that shops would buy in precious items like RPG’s? What a lie!

None of these shops were taking any items in!

But then again, how could he blame these shops? After all, these shops were not dumb to begin with. How could they guarantee the quality of these pills that were coming in? Furthermore, to sell the pills of someone else instead of their very own inhouse pills? Why would they do that?

‘But oh well, forget it.’ Since no one would buy anything from him, Lin Fan had no choice. Yours Truly had to resort to robbery once more.

Lin Fan then strolled around the streets, casually looking for a good target.

“Ahh, young girl! Would you like to be my partner? Hehehe…” An evil laughter rang into Lin Fan’s ears. Without having to even look at the source of the voice, Lin Fan was sure that the owner of the voice must be extremely shameless.

Heading towards the direction of the voice, Lin Fan found a young man indeed with a few lackeys following behind him.

They had bumped into a female martial artist and were flirting with her.

Lin Fan observed carefully.

Pericelestial Lower Level.

Not bad, not bad. With a cultivation base like that, Lin Fan’s attempts were bound to succeed.

But the young man’s clothing had Lin Fan hesitating for a moment. Even though he was simply dressed, the five-clawed emblem on his back did spell quite a bit of trouble.

Seemed like this man was from the Yao Family.

Even though Lin Fan did not know what the Yao Family was capable of entirely, he knew that the gigantic hand at the entrance must definitely be from the Yao Family.

After all, the Dead Demon City did not have any other powerhouse other than the Yao Family. Therefore, it wasn’t that difficult to guess the source of the gigantic hand.

Even though the female martial artist who was being flirted with by this young man was much tougher than the man himself, she did not dare to retaliate. The young man just sniggered evilly while he looked for a new target.

The other martial artists in the area were also cowering in silence against the emblem on his clothing.

Lin Fan followed behind this man and sized him up along the way. Bloody hell, wasn’t this guy’s clothing extravagant? It was filled with the five-clawed emblem from head to toe, as though he was afraid no one would recognize it.

“All of you guys wait outside. I’ll go relieve myself.” Yao Wuxie waved off his lackeys. “Yes, that’s right. Further off, don’t come so near now.”

“Yes, young master!”

The chance was here.

After following this guy for quite some time, Lin Fan was extremely excited right now. This was the chance he had been waiting for, when this guy was finally alone.

“Hehehe time to relieve myself.” Yao Wuxie sniggered while taking off his pants and squatting down happily, shaking his head in ecstasy.

Even though Yao Wuxie was a useless trash of the Yao Family, but so what? He could still have the time of his life out in the city.

Using stealth, Lin Fan entered the toilet as well. Looking at this guy squatting down happily, Lin Fan was pretty elated as well. Good target, good target.

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

Yao Wuxie’s face was flushed red as a long and blaring fart with an extremely high pitch rang out. This was a perfect chord.

A yellow smoke surrounded the entire toilet from top to bottom.

“That’s…good…ahhhh…” Yao Wuxie let out a face of drunken pleasure. That was so bloody comfortable.

As for Lin Fan who had just stretched out and was about to strike, his face changed into a look of disbelief.

“This fart is…poi…sonous…”

Chapter 251: Yao Wuxie: The Man With A Screw Loose

p>Lin Fan’s jaws were trembling in shock. All he felt was dizziness and giddiness in this heaven revolting fart. This was a force no man could withstand.

In Stealth, Lin Fan clutched at his chest while gasping for air. Now that his physical body state was that of a lesser celestial full cultivation, even though his cultivation base wasn’t that high, this fart was not something that could do him in this easily.

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

“That’s soooo good.” Yao Wuxie’s face was extremely pleasured.

“I…can’t stay here anymore…or I’ll…die…!” Lin Fan thought to himself as his face squeezed tightly. He wanted to get out of this place so badly, but Yao Wuxie would have none of that as he didn’t give Lin Fan any chance to do so, letting off a few more smelly farts.

‘F*ck! I can’t take it any longer!’ Lin Fan’s eyes were tearing by now.

Beside Yao Wuxie was another cubicle which was separated by a board and a deep hole. No matter what, Lin Fan could not let himself come out in the open just like that. Struggling for a few torturous steps while clutching the walls, Lin Fan leaped into the hole and vomited.

“Hey brother, you’ve got to stop this.”

Yao Wuxie nearly leaped up upon hearing this voice. How could anyone be here? He had clearly checked that the toilet was empty before entering just now! How could he have missed this? Did he see wrongly?

“Who are you! Why are you here!” Yao Wuxie asked in disbelief as he could not figure out how anyone could be in here.

“This is a public place! Anyone can come in. Can you stop it please?” Lin Fan huffed out. What the hell was this guy made of? To think that he could even kill with his farts. How bloody scary was this?

“Last one. It’s the last one.” Yao Wuxie’s voice was trembling, as though he was preparing and channeling some almighty skill.

The moment Lin Fan heard that, his heard hurt massively. Bloody hell this was all his karma, and he couldn’t do anything about it. It was karma for his bad judgment. If he had not chosen the wrong target, he wouldn’t have to be suffering like he was right now.

“Wait…please let me leave first…!” Lin Fan stuttered while struggling to drag his feet out. There was definitely something wrong with this Yao Wuxie. Just one fart alone and it was enough to render someone weak and feeble. What sort of person was he?!?

But the moment Lin Fan reached the door and was about to open it, it was all too late.

“I…can’t hold it in…anymore…!!!” Yao Wuxie’s hurried voice rang over.

“No…!”

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

The Earth shattered.

Grass wilted.

This was the epitome that all farts could ever reach.

The deafening roar of the fart was like the flute of the heavens.

All the lackeys outside who heard the noise looked at one another as well. However, they were used to it. Their young master had loved to fart since he was young. Furthermore, the sounds of his farts were extremely loud.

There was once a man who got too close to the young master when he farted. After that, the man vomited and puked for three days and three nights nonstop. Ever since then, they knew how formidable their young master’s farts were.

And finally, Lin Fan could not take it any longer and fainted. The world was big and filled with wonders indeed. Lin Fan had never ever believed that farts could kill. But now he was certain for sure. In fact, he might even be the first man to faint to death from a fart.

“Bro…brother! Hang in there! You mustn’t die here…!” Yao Wuxie was feeling worried at the sight of this man who had fainted on the ground. Pulling up his pants, he carried Lin Fan in a fireman lift and headed out.

Yao Wuxie was probably the only man in this world who would just pull down his pants and fart all day long.

“All of you come over and help me out…!” Yao Wuxie beckoned to his lackeys waiting outside.

At the same time, Yao Wuxie was feeling reproachful of himself. How had he not checked the toilet properly? It was all his fault. If he weren’t so anxious to let out the farts and had discovered the man earlier, this wouldn’t have happened.

He might have just caused yet another innocent man to fall to his farts…

This was a tragic thing for Yao Wuxie.

…

Not long after that, Lin Fan regained consciousness. The moment he awoke, he opened his eyes widely.

Looking at his surroundings, he realized that this should be someone’s room. The soft mattresses and exquisite furniture were tell-tale signs of this family’s fortune.

Thinking back to those farts, Lin Fan frowned once more. That was the worst situation he had ever been in so far. No matter how prepared one was, no one could possibly guard against an attack like that.

Just what was this man’s position in the Yao Family? To think that he would have such a talent despite not having a high cultivation base. This was incredibly impossible.

Creak.

The wooden doors creaked open from the outside as a man walked in. And he was none other than Yao Wuxie.

“Whew, you’re alright, brother! You gave me quite a shock! I truly thought that I had doomed yet another man!” The moment Yao Wuxie saw Lin Fan awake and conscious, he thumped his chest in relief.

“But aren’t you pretty powerful to be able to stay alive after all that?” Yao Wuxie let out another look of astonishment as he realized this fact. To think that this man would be still alive after sniffing in his powerful farts.

Lin Fan sat on the bed and rolled his eyes. Did this guy have a screw loose?

But what Lin Fan did not know was that Yao Wuxie had been imbued with the innate ability to give off devastating farts since he was a young kid.

From birth, Yao Wuxie possessed an extremely ordinary and fair potential. No matter how hard the elders of the Yao Family tried, expending tons of priceless treasures to create potential changing pills, they could not change anything about him. In the end, the Yao Family gave up any hopes of grooming him to be a somebody. They might as well put the pills to greater use on the others with more potential.

Losing the love and care of his family, Yao Wuxie was extremely lonely and empty. The only companion he had was a small little beast by his side. However, just a few years ago, he watched sorrowfully as his only friend passed away in front of his very eyes.

And the reason for it was that on one fateful night, his small little pet beast had entered the room at the wrong time. Yao Wuxie was farting enjoyably in his room. Choked by the smell of it, his small little beast fainted over and died. No matter how many pills Yao Wuxie used, he couldn’t bring it back to life.

Ever since then, Yao Wuxie had been really mindful of the places where he was farting. He did not want the tragedy to repeat itself.

“Where is this?” Lin Fan asked.

“This is the Yao Family, my place.” Yao Wuxie laughed and replied. “But aren’t you a tough guy, really? That’s right, can you tell me how you managed to stay alive?”

Lin Fan stared at Yao Wuxie and his brain began to move. “Well, that’s a really long story to come. I don’t think I could finish it in just an hour or two.”

Now that Lin Fan had nothing to his name and he wouldn’t be staying too long in the city, he might as well just mix around here for the next few days and scout for some news about the exact conditions of the Dead Demon Seas.

After all, there must be a reason the Dead Demon City was established on the Dead Demon Seas and survived till this day.

“Sure thing then, I’m in no hurry as well. Since it’s because of me, I’m not someone irresponsible as well. You’ll just stay here then. I guarantee that nothing will happen to you. I’ll have you know that I’m quite a somebody in the Yao Family. If you meet with any trouble in the city, just use my name as your backing and nobody will dare to bully you anymore.” Yao Wuxie said haughtily.

“Sure.” Lin Fan chuckled and nodded his head. Seems like this was the perfect arrangement. Even though Yao Wuxie’s cultivation base was nothing much, at least with his status as somebody in the Yao Family, nothing bad should happen.

“Yao Wuxie! I’m here! Get your ass out for me to spar!” A voice commanded from outside.

The moment Lin Fan heard it, he was taken aback. Didn’t this guy just say that he was quite a somebody in the family? Didn’t this just sound totally different from what he had said?

The moment Yao Wuxie heard this voice, his frail little body trembled slightly as well. But remembering Lin Fan’s presence, he waved his hand nonchalantly. “You just have a good rest. That man outside is my elder brother. We’re on extremely close terms, so we spar with one another every once in a while to train… Hahaha.”

“Oh…” Lin Fan looked at Yao Wuxie and nodded his head, stunned.

This man was a talent…!

Chapter 252: A Shocking Event For Lin Fan

p>When Yao Wuxie was facing Lin Fan, his expression was fearless and calm. It was as though the man right outside was his closest brother ever. But the moment Yao Wuxie turned around, that look of confidence disappeared entirely as well.

Replacing it was a tragic look. In fact, he was lamenting in his heart, ‘Why did you have to appear right now, brother…’

“Rest well, brother. I’ll be back in a bit after sparring with my elder brother outside.” Yao Wuxie turned around and gave a last smile.

“Yes.” Lin Fan nodded his head. However, he didn’t completely buy Yao Wuxie’s words.

Outside…

A haughty-looking man stood outside, possessing an aura which felt impure and evil. The man had brought along a chamberlain. From top to toe, the chamberlain gave off an arrogant aura as well, as though he disregarded the world entirely.

“Third Brother…” The moment Yao Wuxie left his house, he greeted with a smile. But within that smile was a hint of awkwardness.

‘Ah, sixth Brother, your third Brother here has just learned a new move recently, and I’d like to try it on, with you.” Even though Yao Xingfeng’s mouth was sporting a smile, the look of disdain that was coming off from his brows was evident.

Yao Wuxie had the same father but a different mother from him. In his eyes, he had regarded Yao Wuxie as a lowlife from young. Even though they were brothers in name, Yao Xingfeng has always taken Yao Wuxie as a bstard child and worthless trash, who was a disgrace to the Yao Family.

But no matter what, with the same father, Yao Xingfeng naturally couldn’t go all the way to harm this guy.

However, for a trash like this who could only disgrace the family name, Yao Xingfeng felt the need to create some value out of him.

“Third Brother, this…erm…it’s not really convenient for me today.” Yao Wuxie stammered. If his Third Brother were to strike now, things would definitely get ugly. Also, there was an outsider here right now. What was he to do if he were to throw all his face right now? Furthermore, Yao Wuxie wanted to take in that outsider as one of his lackeys in the future.

“Huh? You’re not giving me, your third Brother, any face now, eh? Oh, somebody’s really tough these days, eh? Could it be that you’ve leveled your cultivation base up? Alright then, then let me test out your new strength as your third Brother, eh?” Yao Xingfeng’s face was evidently displeased as he laughed out coldly.

“Third Brother, I…” Before Yao Wuxie could finish speaking, Yao Xingfeng struck out without any mercy.

Looking at Yao Xingfeng’s palm strike flying towards himself, he could only lament at his own fate. And there was no way he was going to retaliate. After all, the more he fought back, the more he was bound to suffer. So, he was just sent flying with the strike.

Yao Xingfeng laughed coldly as he stepped forward. Without empowering them with any True Energy, he just rained punches and kicks onto Yao Wuxie’s face, venting all the fury in his heart.

As though he was used to it, Yao Wuxie didn’t even dare to imbue his body with True Energy to protect himself, and just laid there enduring his third Brother’s punches and kicks.

Even though Yao Wuxie hated all of this, he didn’t dare to do anything. After all, he was just a piece of trash. But, as long as he remained in the family, even if they didn’t care much about him, nothing much would happen to him as well.

“Hey, fight back eh, trash?” Yao Xingfeng’s eyes burnt with hatred as he continued punching Yao Wuxie’s face one punch at a time. All Yao Wuxie could do was curl himself up into a ball and tremble continuously.

Bam!

“A bstard child who was born by a sl*t.”

…

The lackeys of Yao Wuxie hid in the shadows nearby. Looking at their young master being abused, they were infuriated as well. But there was nothing they could do except weep in heartbreak.

They knew of the pains that their young master was going through and had gone through. But so what? The other party was the third young master of the Yao Family, a genius within the family. And all they were, on the other hand, were just slaves.

As for their own sixth young master? He was just a man with ordinary potential. Thus, he had no status or authority to speak of in the family.

They had once tried persuading their sixth young master to escape from the family. But what he said made had them rooted to him loyally from then on.

“It’s easy for me to escape, but you guys? You’ll die for it.”

…

Even though their sixth young master was hedonistic normally, they knew that deep down in his heart, he was a good man. The only reason for his flirtatious and hedonistic behavior out in the city was to release these pent up indignance and frustration he endured for all of them in the family.

Curled up on the floor, Yao Wuxie gripped his fist tightly with his eyes reddened. Back when his mother was still alive, his life was in bliss and happiness. But it all changed after her death.

He would not let anyone insult his mother, but he had to live on. His mum had always told him, ‘The man who puts on a strong front is not a hero. The hero is the man who remains alive.’

No matter how much humiliation and suffering he received within the Yao Family, he must endure all of it and never be rash.

Covering his head with his hands, Yao Wuxie continued facing the rain of punches from his third Brother.

BAM!

Using his leg, Yao Xingfeng lifted up Yao Wuxie’s entire body and kicked it up into the air before slamming it back down onto the ground once more.

“Hmph. What a bloody piece of trash. I had thought that your cultivation base had improved. But in fact, you’ve gotten even more trashy.”

The chamberlain beside Yao Xingfeng looked at Yao Wuxie in equal contempt. He was gloating at Yao Wuxie’s plight as well. However, he himself would never have the guts to strike Yao Wuxie in a million years.

No matter how much of a trash Yao Wuxie was, he was still a young master of the Yao Family. And someone of that stature was not a person servants like them could touch.

But looking at his own young master humiliating Yao Wuxie thoroughly was the best enjoyment he could get.

“Alright now, sixth Brother, even though you’re a piece of trash, I guess you’re pretty useful somewhat. After your third Brother, I, has given you a thorough whooping, I feel like my mood’s been lifted! That’s right. This totally proves the fact that trashes can still be useful! Oh, by the way, fourth Brother’s waiting outside the gates, so I’ll take my leave first. Come over, fourth Brother. Sixth Brother here says that he’s all ready to spar with you also!” Yao Xingfeng shouted outside mockingly.

“Alright, 6th Brother! Your fourth Brother, I, have been feeling itchy with my fingers lately too. It’s time to train up!”

…

Within the house, Lin Fan observed silently through the gaps in the windows. He did not come out to help Yao Wuxie, because he didn’t know what was happening at all. But as he continued watching, he began to make sense of the situation.

Seemed like life was pretty difficult for Yao Wuxie in the Yao Family.

But even so, Lin Fan did not step out to help. After all, this was the Yao Family, and that powerful being with the gigantic hand must reside within here as well.

If he were to step out and help, he might be the one attracting trouble to himself.

No matter what, Yao Wuxie was a member of the Yao Family. Vicious might the beatings be, but he would most probably not be in any life-threatening danger.

Hais…but what a tragic life he had.

And time passed with the seconds and the minutes.

Just then, the doors of the house opened from within.

Even though he was beaten to a pulp, Yao Wuxie changed his attitude immediately. Despite his entire face beaten swollen with bruises, he let out a wide smile grinning from ear to ear.

“Brother, that was really good! Ah, seems like my third Brother’s powers have improved once more! To think that I’m no longer a match for him… Hahaha. Seems like my handsome face is in for it now! Alright, brother, you go and continue resting. I’ll go get some medicine, alright?’ Yao Wuxie said to Lin Fan laughingly as though nothing had happened.

“Come over here for a moment…” Lin Fan beckoned to Yao Wuxie.

“What’s up, bro?” Yao Wuxie asked puzzled.

“Nothing much. Just come over for a little.”

When Yao Wuxie walked over, Lin Fan placed his hands on Yao Wuxie’s face and caressed it. His face then changed as he looked at Yao Wuxie in disbelief.

Chapter 253: What the Hell’s Up With Unactivated?

p>‘Ding…congratulations on discovering Special Body Type: ‘Doomed Poison Body’.’

‘Doomed Poison Body (Unactivated): Doomed to suffer an entire life of misfortune and tragedies.’

‘A rare body type that’s nearly extinct in the Xuanhuang World.’

Holding on to Yao Wuxie tightly, Lin Fan was stumped. To someone like him who had crossed from another world, how would he not be familiar with the existence of special body types? But this situation right now had Lin Fan feeling extremely bewildered. Most of the people who had special body types were gifted and formidable et cetera. Why the hell was Yao Wuxie’s case so unlucky?

And what puzzled Lin Fan was the word unactivated. What the hell? Did this mean that it had to be activated somehow?

Lin Fan had always placed talented people in high regards. However, this was a sticky situation right now, because even Lin Fan himself did not know what this person had to do to activate it.

“Hey buddy, what’s up? Is there anything wrong? Don’t tell me that I’ve been inflicted with some terminal disease or something, eh?” Yao Wuxie looked at Lin Fan with a surprised face.

From Lin Fan’s weird expression, Yao Wuxie could tell that something was wrong.

“No, not really. I was just thinking about some stuff. Say, when did you begin to start farting?” Lin Fan asked in puzzlement.

Yao Wuxie’s face flushed red as he thought that Lin Fan had still not gotten over what happened earlier. Embarrassed, he continued, “Erm, well, this is not a secret or anything really. I guess I started when I was around five years old… But trust me brother, my farts weren’t really this powerful back then. It’s just in these recent years that when I fart, erm, bad things like what happened to you would happen occasionally.”

“And no one has ever diagnosed you for it?”

“They have! All the reputable and famous doctors of the Dongling Continent have looked at me, but they could not find the cause of it. But oh well, I think it’s fine as long as I’m used to it. After all, I haven’t fallen sick even once so far in my life!” Yao Wuxie guffawed.

Lin Fan nodded his head. He had a conjecture, but he could only guess at it. Seemed like it was a good thing for Yao Wuxie that this Doomed Poison Body had yet to be activated.

Even though he was doomed to misfortune, perhaps each and every fart of his was to get rid of all the impurities in his body. After all, everyone’s body contained some of them. Even a greater celestial cultivation base master would not dare to claim that his body contained zero impurities at all.

Everyone was born with impurities. If one wished to get rid of it, there was no other way than to work hard at some skills or some other ways to do so.

But to have them cleared entirely was practically just an impossible dream.

“Alright now, brother. You go and have a good rest. I’ll take you out for a stroll in the city tomorrow. Don’t worry. With me, Yao Wuxie, around, no one would dare to bully you or anything.” Yao Wuxie patted on Lin Fan’s shoulders and left.

He then touched his own bruised and swollen face. It hurt indeed. But after all these years of abuse, he had grown used to it.

Looking at Yao Wuxie leave, Lin Fan could not stop thinking about it.

Just how was one supposed to activate a Special Body Type?

And to think that a single fart of his could kill before his body type had even been activated? Then wouldn’t the whole world just die after he activated it?

The moment he thought of this, Lin Fan shuddered for a moment. Whew. If not for the fact that his physical body state was so strong, he might perhaps have died from the fart alone.

…

Yao Family’s Secret Chamber…

“Old Master…there seems to be quite a number of sects arriving at the Dead Demon City recently. I am afraid that something within the Dead Demon Seas must have attracted their attention…” A middle-aged man was kneeling in front of an old man.

The old man in the secret chamber was draped in green robes and had his eyes closed. His body was surrounded and coiled by an energy grid chain, exuding mysteriousness. Dipping his head into the void, he came out from the other side of it.

At the same time, he was tempering and refining the energy grid chain at every moment.

“The Dead Demon Seas is a place filled with mystery and secrets. That is the very reason why we built the Dead Demon City right here. However, hundreds of years have passed, and we have yet to obtain anything good from it. This is good as well. We’ll let all these sects to pave the way forward for us. Pass down my orders that no one from the family is to create any trouble in this period of time.” The old man said as he sat on a stone pedestal cross-legged.

“Yes, old master.” The middle-aged man replied.

The moment the middle-aged man left, the old man opened his eyes slightly. It was as though his gaze could pass through all the layer of voids in the world and take in every single thing that was happening in the Dead Demon City…

A smile appeared on that wrinkled face of his. Waving his hand, a half-finished map floated gently before him.

“Eternal Secret…just what are you?” He sighed with a hint of frustration in his voice. Gradually, the energy grid chains moved like agile snakes and covered the room, immersing the old man within it as well as he continued fiddling with it.

Next day…

Yao Wuxie’s bruised face had returned to normal. Evidently, the medicine he had used to rub on his face must be really effective for it to heal that fast.

“Brother, let’s go. I’ll take you out for sightseeing.” Yao Wuxie knocked on Lin Fan’s doors early in the morning.

After pondering for the entire night, Lin Fan gave up on trying to come up with an idea to activate the Special Body Type. After all, his main intention here at the Dead Demon City was to head to the Dead Demon Seas.

As for this Yao Wuxie who had a screw loose, Lin Fan had already made out what sort of a person he was. Other than all the humiliation and shame he was hiding within his heart, he was a good person overall.

“Sure, but I’ve got no money.” Lin Fan replied.

Upon hearing Lin Fan’s words, Yao Wuxie laughed awkwardly and patted on his pouch, “It’s just money, right? Your buddy has it, don’t worry.”

Lin Fan laughed and followed Yao Wuxie out of the Yao Family.

Lin Fan had already checked out the place where Yao Wuxie stayed. Even though his residences were pretty big, it was quite a distance from the core center of the family.

As for the fact that Yao Wuxie wasn’t really that favored in the family, Lin Fan could tell as well. However, other than the fact that he was bullied, he was still quite well to do. This should probably show how much power the Yao Family had.

Yao Wuxie still had the means to lead a comfortable and luxurious life apart from the discrimination.

After all, for a big family like this, every single descendant represented the family. If Yao Wuxie were to lead a pathetic life, the family would be mocked by outsiders.

As for Yao Wuxie’s lackeys, Lin Fan was familiar with who they were as well.

Da Ha, Er Ha, San Ha.

Even though the three of them had a face full of mockery, they were undoubtedly loyal to Yao Wuxie. Things like that could be seen from a person’s gaze.

Lin Fan also found out that their father was a servant of the Yao Family. Thus, the three of them had grown up playing together with Yao Wuxie, and were on close terms.

But what Lin Fan was astonished about was the fact that the three of them possessed a pericelestial cultivation base!

This fact was pretty startling. Were all of the servants this strong?

“Brother Wuxie, your clothes are pretty outstanding, aren’t they?” Within the city, wherever Yao Wuxie walked, people would dodge from his vicinities.

Peeking at his own clothes, Yao Wuxie chuckled, “It’s alright. This is my proud creation though.”

To Yao Wuxie, his clothing was a form of insurance for his life. If he didn’t print his family’s emblem all over it, he wouldn’t dare to walk so mightily out in the streets.

After all, if some fella were to miss out on the emblem on his clothes and give him a good walloping, wouldn’t he be in for it for no reason?

But now that he printed it from top to toe, any potential aggressors would be scared off before even touching him.

But of course, there was no way Yao Wuxie could tell Lin Fan about this truth. If he were to say it out, where was he to keep his face from here on?

Chapter 254: Giving In Way Too Much

p>Along the way, Yao Wuxie pointed at his surroundings repeatedly, as though all of it was due to his credit. And when he got especially excited at something, he would ignore all the weird gazes of the passers-by altogether as he guffawed in laughter.

Lin Fan smiled in helplessness at times, wondering what sort of man Yao Wuxie must be to be able to grow up in this manner.

While strolling, Lin Fan had come across members of not less than five different sects. Puzzled, he asked Yao Wuxie if the Dead Demon City was a place where many different sects gathered.

But Yao Wuxie’s reply had Lin Fan even more suspicious that something must be going on here.

“Brother, let’s go have a seat inside.” Yao Wuxie stopped in front of a shophouse.

Lin Fan raised his head and looked at the signboard. ‘Moonview Shop’. But the colorful girls filled with makeup made it all clear to Lin Fan. This was a brothel.

“Aiyo, the Yao young master is here! Please, have a seat please!” The moment the old female brothel keeper saw Yao Wuxie, she dashed forward to greet him immediately.

“Hey keeper, is the lead girl playing anything today?” Yao Wuxie asked.

“Yes of course! She’s waiting for you, Yao young master!” The fat and old brothel keeper waved her handkerchief excitedly while bringing Yao Wuxie inside. As for Lin Fan? He was mistaken as one of Yao Wuxie’s lackeys as well.

Looking at how familiar he was with the place, Lin Fan surmised that Yao Wuxie must be a regular here.

Just then, the sweet sound of a Chinese zither rang through the halls. Lowering his head and sipping his tea, Lin Fan could not help but look up at the beautiful source of music. In the middle of the stage, a woman masked with a veil was plucking on the zither with her delicate hands. Every single sound it made was so emotional that it tugged at one’s heartstrings.

Yao Wuxie rested his chin on his hand with an elbow on the table, evidently enchanted by this beauty. Even though she stopped, the beautiful music lingered within the hollows of the halls.

“With your family’s background and power, I’m sure you can get her easily if you’ve taken a liking to her, can’t you?” Looking at the mesmerized Yao Wuxie, Lin Fan laughed out softly.

Even though she was veiled, Lin Fan could still tell that she had sharp features, although, not that this had anything to do with Lin Fan. After all, the world was filled with beauties, and he would not falter so easily.

Yao Wuxie shook his head with a dark look in his eyes, “A flower is the most beautiful when you observe it. If you pluck it out, you may destroy its perfection. Furthermore, being with someone like me may not bring her happiness”’

“Alright, Da Ha, bring some money forth to tip her. Miss Qian Yu, one more please!” At the viewing area, Yao Wuxie clapped and cheered.

Upon hearing the voice, Qian Yu nodded her head gently towards Yao Wuxie and continued playing her zither.

Actually, Yao Wuxie was not a lustful man. However, he made it a point to visit this place every day. After all, listening to this sweet music made him feel as though everything was alright in the world for him, even if it were just momentary.

“Refined, aren’t you, sixth Brother?” Just then, a peculiar voice came from elsewhere.

Yao Wuxie, who was intoxicated in the music, bolted up suddenly with a pale face. He then turned around slowly.

Lin Fan looked over as a man walked over slowly. Just like Yao Wuxie, this man’s clothing had the emblem of the five claws.

“Fifth Brother…” Yao Wuxie had not expected his fifth Brother, Yao Tengfei, to be here.

“I heard that 3rd and 4th Brother went to look for you just yesterday? To think that you’ve recovered so quickly and are straightaway leading a dissolute life right here… Man, living it up now, aren’t you? Hmm, seems like the girl up there is pretty decent. It’s been some time since I’ve been here. To think that the Moonview Shop would produce such a quality product after all these times and I didn’t even know, huh?” Yao Tengfei laughed out coldly.

Of course, he knew that his sixth Brother had taken a liking to this zither playing girl. But that was exactly the point. He wanted to look at the anguished look on his sixth brother’s face as he snatched away the girl he liked right before his very eyes. It was not as though this trash would dare to fight back anyways.

“Hey keeper, c’mere! Get that zither girl here to accompany me!” Yao Tengfei shouted and beckoned towards the brothel keeper.

The fat old brothel keeper’s face was pale as a sheet. She knew that something was bound to happen now as she looked at Yao Wuxie and then at Yao Tengfei.

Both of these men were not people she could afford to offend.

“What? Did you not hear what I said?” Yao Tengfei hissed coldly.

“No…no…! Qian Yu…come…come over here! The Yao’s 5th young master is calling for you…!” The brothel keeper stammered trying to please Yao Tengfei.

“Oh? You’ve got a new lackey around you eh, sixth Brother?” Yao Tengfei looked at Lin Fan, who was sitting stilly, and laughed mockingly.

“Fifth Brother, he’s my friend.” Yao Wuxie frowned, but he didn’t dare to rebuke too insolently.

“Oh? Ha! Well, anybody a trash like you knows is definitely a trash as well, isn’t it? You there! Stand up! You don’t have the rights to be sitting down here!” Yao Tengfei pointed a finger at Lin Fan and ordered.

In the Dead Demon City, the Yao Family was the biggest. No matter who it was that came to the city, the family didn’t give a shit. Furthermore, Yao Wuxie was the trashiest of all trash to him, a bloody rotten orange Yao Tengfei could squish instantly.

Yao Wuxie gripped his fists tightly, “Fifth Brother, he’s my friend. Please. Don’t. Insult. My. Friend.’

“My, my. Isn’t your mouth way too big for someone who’s so weak? What now? You’re trying to quibble with your fifth Brother here now, eh?” Yao Tengfei stood up angrily and snorted coldly.

And just then, Qian Yu was approaching slowly. Looking at her arriving, Yao Tengfei let out a cold laugh.

Raising his hand, he slapped Yao Wuxie tightly on the cheek.

“I’m telling you here and now. You’re just a trash in the Yao Family. Better watch your tone from now on.” Yao Tengfei spat out coldly.

Qian Yu stood where she was, stunned at what happened. Da Ha and the other lackeys were trembling with rage, but they knew that they had to hold it in. Otherwise, their young master would suffer even further.

Seated there, Lin Fan gripped his fist tightly as well. This was the first time he wanted to punch someone so badly.

On Yao Wuxie’s pale white face, a red mark of five fingers began to appear. But Yao Wuxie bore with it despite the anger in his heart.

“Yes, fifth Brother.” He lowered his head in shame. He had just lost all his dignity in front of this newfound friend, and he wondered what Lin Fan would think of him from now on.

Yao Wuxie felt so helpless and small in the world right now. It was as though no place in this world could belong to someone as worthless as himself, as he trembled uncontrollably.

And it was at this moment when he found support in the form of a hand resting on his shoulder.

Lin Fan had stood up. Looking straight at Yao Tengfei, he carried on, “That’s too much.”

“Ha? Oh, so now you wanna stand up and seek redressal for this piece of trash now? But then again, I doubt this trash would dare to. Is your fifth Brother speaking the truth huh, sixth Brother?” Yao Tengfei taunted Yao Wuxie. Even if he were to give Yao Wuxie a hundred brand-new pieces of guts, this guy would definitely not have the guts to stand up against him.

Yao Wuxie’s head was still lowered as he didn’t know what to do next.

Qian Yu’s gentle voice floated over, “Young Master Yao…”

Upon hearing this voice, Yao Wuxie’s head bent even lower, and trembled even more. She must have witnessed the entire scene, and yet he could do nothing about being a trash.

Looking at Yao Wuxie, Lin Fan was helpless as well.

This man’s personality was too gentle. Enduring all he could. If things were to not change, how would he be like in the future?

Bending his head as well, Lin Fan whispered in Yao Wuxie’s ears, “If you continue to just endure and give in, you’ll have to watch your so-called 5th Brother ravish this girl that you like. Is that what you want? Even if you know that you’re weaker than him right now, you mustn’t live a life of regrets. Otherwise, even if you do manage to take revenge in the future, that would only be the action of a coward.”

“I…” Yao Wuxie looked at Lin Fan, struggling terribly within his heart.

“Here, come over to me. Let me pamper you slowly and lovingly.” Yao Tengfei beckoned towards Qian Yu.

Qian Yu was stunned in her tracks, somewhat afraid.

Chapter 255: If You Can’t Settle It, Call My Name

p>Qian Yu stood where she was. The situation before her and the look on Yao Tengfei’s face were extremely chilling. Especially so when those eyes of his seemed to be able to see through everything.

“Come over.” Yao Tengfei’s face was extremely displeased when he realized this slut had stopped moving towards him.

“Qian Yu…hurry over to the fifth young master…!” The old brothel keeper trembled at one side with fear in her heart as well. When deities fought, it was always the mere mortals who suffered. Someone like the fifth young master was not somebody women like them could afford to offend.

And by the looks of it, neither could the sixth young master stand up against him. That single slap had her heart still quivering.

“Fifth Brother…don’t…go overboard…!” Taking in a deep breath, Yao Wuxie raised his head and stared straight at Yao Tengfei.

Yao Tengfei, who had been laughing the whole time coldly, was stumped as he heard this, and stared at Yao Wuxie in disbelief. To think that this trash would dare to rebut against him?

Did the sun rise from the west today?!?

Da Ha and the others stood in equal disbelief. They could not believe that their young master could be so tough!

Yao Wuxie stepped forth, blocking the path between Qian Yu and Yao Tengfei, and staring at his fifth Brother straight in the eyes.

“You can humiliate me and hit me, I’ll endure it all. But if you mess around with my friends, I can’t forgive that. Yao Tengfei, let me tell you this straight in the face right now. If you dare to insult my friends as such again, even if I were to die, I’d duke it out with you all the way!” Raising his courage, Yao Wuxie’s thoughts burst out of his mouth altogether.

By now, Da Ha and the others were entirely dumbfounded. To think that their young master could have it in him!

Their blood was boiling at the same time. Just a single command from their young master and they were ready to lay down their lives for him, no questions asked.

“Wow…wow! My sixth Brother’s all grown up now, eh? Alright then, tough guy. Let me just see how tough you really are.” Yao Tengfei’s face burnt with anger as he curled his five fingers. With that, a pitch black ghostly claw flew towards Yao Wuxie’s chest.

“My life ends here…” Looking at the claw flying towards him, Yao Wuxie’s heart screamed momentarily. He knew that he had to pay terribly for putting up this brave act, but he was already mentally prepared for it.

No matter what happened today, he must put on the strongest front ever.

Yao Wuxie raised his head high, eyes shut tightly. He did not dare to witness what was about to happen. But after a while, Yao Wuxie realized that nothing much was happening to him. Opening his eyes, he looked at what happened in disbelief.

What the?!? To think that his friend was this…strong?!?

Lin Fan had stood forth and with a gentle raise of his hand, he disintegrated Yao Tengfei’s skill immediately.

Pericelestial Full Cultivation.

Not bad, not bad. But against someone like Lin Fan, this was far from enough.

“Bloody hell! Seems like you dogs don’t know what’s good for you!” Yao Tengfei was entirely enraged. To think that this trash would dare to fight against someone from the Yao Family in Dead Demon City!

Suddenly, Lin Fan frowned.

He could feel a sharp gaze like an aura of someone’s will being locked on to him. And this will could only be felt by Lin Fan and no one else.

But after a while, Lin Fan grinned. Seems like there’s a reason why Yao Wuxie could survive for this long in the Yao Family.

Looking at Yao Wuxie, Lin Fan understood. He wasn’t hated by every single person in the Yao Family after all. With the assurance of this person’s backing right now, it was more than enough for Lin Fan to strike.

“Demon hand…!” Yao Tengfei’s True Energy rumbled, as he stretched out his hand in the shape of a beast’s claw towards Lin Fan. Within the fingertips of the claws, there was the rumbling of lightning. Apparently, this was an extremely high leveled skill.

Lin Fan shot over a look of disdain. He did not want to waste any more time with this person. Raising his head, Lin Fan flicked his finger.

BAM!

Yao Tengfei’s angered face changed into one of disbelief. That built body of his slammed through the pillars and flew out of the brothel like a kite snapped from the skies.

Everyone looked at Lin Fan stupefied. They had not expected him to send Yao Tengfei flying in a single move. This…this…!

And what had them even more flabbergasted was the fact that this man had beaten up one of the Yao Family’s young master! This was big news!

“Did you see that, Brother Wuxie? Haha That’s all your fifth Brother amounted to.” Lin Fan laughed.

“Yes, yes…” Looking at what happened before him, Yao Wuxie nodded his head numbly.

…

Suddenly, the entire ground shook and vibrated violently. Lin Fan’s calm face was shocked as well, as he rushed out of the brothel.

Everyone in the Dead Demon City was stopped dead in their tracks as they stared fixedly in the distance.

Far in the distance, a beam of black light shot up into the skies piercing through the cloud covers. The force was so strong that everyone could feel themselves being pulled slightly in the direction, as a powerful aura surrounded the entire Dead Demon City.

“Just what is that…?” Lin Fan looked in the same direction in bewilderment. This was an extraordinary situation alright.

“That’s the…Dead Demon Seas…” Yao Wuxie looked in the distance and replied as well.

Lin Fan was filled with questions. That was the Dead Demon Seas? Then what was that black beam of light? That wasn’t a power that mere mortals could possess…

He was starting to hesitate. Seemed like something was up with the Dead Demon Seas. Should he still proceed?

Suddenly, a few powerful auras burst out from within Dead Demon City as well. A few streaks of light shot up into the skies and flew in the direction of the beam of light.

Lin Fan was deep in his thoughts. Seemed like the Dead Demon Seas was far more complicated than he thought it would be.

…

Next day…

The city was rife with discussion over what happened in the Dead Demon Seas yesterday. According to some people, the beam of light was a sign of the birth of some godly, peerless treasure.

“Hey Brother Wuxie, I’ve got something on, so I’ll not stay on any longer.” Lin Fan decided that his main intention here was to head to the Dead Demon Seas. Now that something big was going on there, he must definitely head there. Otherwise, he might just regret for the rest of his life.

“Ah, so quickly?” Yao Wuxie was shocked.

“Yes.” Lin Fan nodded. He had yet to figure out how to activate that Special Body Type of Yao Wuxie. Perhaps this man could only depend on himself after all.

But, Lin Fan was sure that this man would definitely be way more powerful once his Special Body Type was activated.

A nearly extinct and rare body type in the Xuanhuang World? What sort of thing was that anyways?

How many people were there in the entire Xuanhuang World? So many that Lin Fan couldn’t even count them all. And to think that only Yao Wuxie would possess this body? In that case, it must be something absolutely outrageous.

“Thank you for your kind hospitality for the past few days. I, Lin Fan, do not like to owe others favors as well. Let me impart to you a skill. If you were to practice it daily, it should be enough to protect you.” Without saying anything more, Lin Fan imparted ‘Titanium Grade Demon Body’ to Yao Wuxie.

Lin Fan was sure that in the days to come, Yao Wuxie would definitely be the victim of more abuse. But with this, it should help him a little.

“Will we ever meet again?” Just as Lin Fan was about to leave, Yao Wuxie asked softly.

Turning around, Lin Fan smiled, “Definitely.”

Kidding me? How the hell would Lin Fan let this person go? If Yao Wuxie were to activate the Doomed Poison Body, wouldn’t he be an invincible powerhouse as well?

“Yes. Take care, brother. If there’s anything you can’t settle, just call out my name. It’ll be very useful within the Dead Demon City.” Yao Wuxie waved goodbye.

Lin Fan sighed and muttered under his breath to himself, “Call your name? Then I’d just be walloped to death…”

Chapter 256: Mysterious Gap

p>The Dead Demon Seas was situated around hundred miles away from the Dead Demon City. With a mere glance, one could probably not be able to tell anything special about it. But, a blood mist rose from the water surface, similar to how steam would rise from hot water.

However, those who flew over to investigate the place were greeted with a shock.

In the middle of the seas was a circular void spanning a few thousand feet. All the water within it had evaporated. Numerous people floated above in the skies, staring at this in bewilderment.

As the legends would have it, the Dead Demon Seas was the birthplace of an extremely ferocious beast. Spreading its wings, the beast could cover the entire skies, bringing darkness down onto the lands. With a single mouth, it could swallow oceans whole.

But of course, legends were legends after all, without much credibility. If a beast like that truly existed, then it would be extremely terrifying.

When Lin Fan arrived, he attracted the gazes of quite a few people. But they ignored him soon after.

Not even the Yao Family of the Dead Demon City had expected something like this to happen.

That beam of black light lasted for an entire day and night, not allowing anyone to get close to it at all. It only disappeared this morning. The appearance of multiple big sects at a place like this was to investigate this event.

Lin Fan stayed hidden amongst the crowd, not daring to attract too much attention to himself.

The disciples sent by the sects this time round were pretty decent. In fact, some of them even had disciples of greater celestial cultivation bases holding the helm. Hence, even if Lin Fan wanted to screw them up, he had to first know his place.

Squinting his eyes, Lin Fan caught sight of an incredible fellow.

Lin Fan had not expected to see Teng Long, the boy he had killed with his own hands, appear before his very eyes. Something was wrong here!

He frowned. He was extremely sure that Teng Long of the Qinshen dynasty had been killed by him, but how was he alright now? In fact, his cultivation base seemed to have even grown?

Looking at the man beside Teng Long, Lin Fan was even more stumped.

Not…not right! These guys were definitely different from what he remembered that day!

The Qin Emperor’s cultivation base was obviously only at a lesser celestial state. How was he a greater celestial lower level right now?!?

Lin Fan was extremely confused right now, wondering what in the world was happening.

…

“Yao Tian, even though this is your territory, the Dead Demon Seas does not come under the jurisdiction of the Yao Family. Now that something like this has happened, I believe that everyone has the right to explore it for themselves.” Some of the figureheads in the crowd were discussing amongst themselves. In this series of events, each of them wanted to benefit the most out of it.

“Brother Qing Huo, we’ll do as you suggest then.” Yao Tian was the current head of the Yao Family. He was clearer about the weird occurrence in the Dead Demon Seas than anyone else. If the Yao Family could take all of the benefits, of course, that would be the best thing ever.

But, he knew that was impossible.

He could only blame the beam of light for lasting way too long. Therefore, it was impossible for anyone to not notice it.

Now that these major sects were here, no matter how strong the Yao Family was, there was no chance for the family to fight off all of them.

“It’s simple then. Anyone who witnessed this will have a part of it. This is a phenomenon that the Dead Demon Seas had never once experienced. Therefore, something precious must definitely be hidden within. I’m sure everyone knows that the requirements to enter the Dead Demon Seas is that one must be lower than a greater celestial cultivation base. I propose that only the 6 sects present, along with the Yao Family, will select disciples to enter. How about that?” A middle-aged man in green robes declared.

“Anyone apart from the six sects and the Yao Family, get lost!” Qing Huo looked at the surroundings and demanded overbearingly.

The strength of the seven powerhouses present was more than enough. There were too many vagrant martial artists all around, and there was no point in letting these guys gain something good for free.

Some of the vagrant martial artists did not dare to voice out against him and just left silently. But there were some who were indignant.

“The Dead Demon Seas is a public place! Anyone here has a right to it! What rights do you have to bar me from entry!” A vagrant martial artist barked angrily.

“That’s right!”

“You guys can’t be so overbearing just because you’ve got more authority!”

…

Lin Fan hid in the crowds and continued to observe silently, keeping a low profile. But he pitied these guys who were shouting out. Weren’t they just courting death?

Indeed, Qing Huo swept his hand in a round motion. As though he was pulling boundless energy grid lines, he lassoed everyone who had spoken and tossed them into the air.

Crack.

All of the indignant vagrant martial artists lost their lives immediately.

“I have made my stance clear. All irrelevant personnel are to leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being vicious…”

…

All the bystanders looked at Qing Huo in shock and fear. They had not expected this man to kill without a single bit of hesitation.

Lin Fan looked ahead; there were so many powerful people blocking the entrance. He was at his wit’s end as well. It was probably impossible for him to barge in just like that.

Did he really have to give up just like this?

‘Fiery Flame Sect.’

‘Tongtian Sect.’

‘Xianling Sect.’

…

Six sects, six strong representatives, as well as the Yao Family’s head, were the obvious lesser celestial cultivation base warriors chosen. But Lin Fan knew that the old master of the Yao Family must be watching this series of events closely from the shadows as well.

To slip through the fingers of several greater celestial beings? Lin Fan wasn’t at that state yet.

Furthermore, there was the Qin Emperor, who had a blood grudge against him, and was also of greater celestial cultivation base.

‘Hais…’

Lin Fan scratched his head in frustration. Seriously? Going back empty handed just like this?

When Lin Fan caught sight of the map in the hands of the bystanders, he was shocked as well.

‘Seven Saints Treasure Map’?

But apparently, what they had on hand was just a portion of the treasure map, not the full thing.

But this explained clearly as well why there were so many vagrant martial artists and disciples of sects gathered in the Dead Demon City recently as well. It was all because of the ‘Seven Saint Treasure Map’

But who was the one who spread this out? Was it THAT seven saint? But that was not right either. The bloody guy was just a skeleton! What else could he do?

But what was up with that beam of black light? Could it be that there was something else other than the ‘Seven Saint Treasure Map’ at work right here?

“The six sects and the Yao Family are simply too much…!” One by one, the vagrant martial artists whispered amongst themselves and left gradually. No matter how indignant they felt, if they did not leave this place, their very lives might be in danger.

“So, what if they’re overbearing…if we don’t leave, we might be killed right here and now as well…”

“Sigh…”

Looking at these bunch of bystanders, Qing Huo flew into a rage and burst out once more.

“What are you still waiting for! Hurry and get the hell lost!”

Hearing this roar, all of their hearts were flustered at the same time. The roar of a greater celestial master contained the power of energy grid lines and was not something they could deal with.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the skies and earth trembled as yet another change happened.

Everyone’s faces were stunned, wondering what had just happened.

Just then, in that void that had opened up in the middle of the seas, a gap started opening up. It opened up wider and wider, and eventually, a beam of golden glow came out from the crack with an aura of mysteriousness.

Within the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.

“That’s the entrance to go below! Everyone, now!”

Suddenly, everyone was discussing and shouting furiously. Qing Huo’s face turned ice cold as he hissed, “Asking for it…!”

The skies changed color. Qing Huo, the greater celestial, had raised his hand, intending to bring down everyone with a single palm strike.

That raised up hand caused the skies to tremble violently as an unimaginably huge force seemed to be plummeting downwards.

Looking up, Lin Fan panicked as well. It was do or die.

He then leaped into the gap below. Tons of vagrant martial artists followed suit.

A bird died for food, and a man would die for wealth.

Even though a place like this was fraught with dangers, the allure of the bounty caused these men to lose any reasoning or fear for their lives in the face of greed…

Chapter 257: Death Inducing Forbidden Ground

p>”Damn it…!” Qing Huo cursed under his breath as he waved away his hand and all the aura disappeared instantly. Damn these vagrant martial artists!

“Disciples, gather! All of you are to enter the forbidden grounds! If you bump into any vagrant martial artists, kill all of them!” Qing Huo said with a harsh expression. The only thing he was afraid of was of any of them being lucky enough to get away with any precious treasure or anything. To prevent that from happening, all he could do was to give the kill order to his disciples.

“Yes, elder!” All the Fiery Flame Sect disciples nodded their heads.

The other sects let all of their disciples within the forbidden grounds as well along with the Yao Family.

The Qin Emperor stood there, looking at the gap, trying to peer within it. However, there was a strange force that seemed to be veiling the gap. When he tried to touch the gap himself, he found himself being repelled by the same force.

Truly, this forbidden ground was strictly for anyone with a cultivation base below that of a greater celestial.

…

The moment Lin Fan leaped through the gap, he kept himself in Stealth mode. He did not know what to expect below. Thus, it was safer to remain in Stealth after all.

But the moment Lin Fan landed, he was shocked by the sight before him.

Roar!

A series of growls and roars filled the forbidden grounds. All around him were beasts that moved around continuously like ghosts. It was a chilling sight to behold.

None of these beasts had any physical body. They were all beast spirits.

‘AHHHH!!!’

A series of tragic cries rang over. Lin Fan looked over and found out that when those vagrant martial artists dropped down from the gap above, they landed in the middle of the beast spirits. The eyes of the beast spirits were bloodshot as they rushed to tear the vagrant martial artists apart like wolves.

Their deaths were extremely violent and horrible.

F*ck man…wasn’t this just a trap?!?

Lin Fan realized that the gap which had just appeared was just a death-inducing trap!

It was a good thing that he remained in Stealth mode. Even though his physical body state might be able to endure the attacks of these beast spirits, but who knew if there might be any exceptionally strong ones which could have killed him.

“Ahhh!!! Help…!!!”

A vagrant martial artist had landed near Lin Fan and was being chewed on by multiple beast spirits. Eventually, he was torn into pieces. His blood slowly seeped into the ground as well, and eventually, any remaining traces of him disappeared entirely.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and looked around. This place was like Hell itself, spacious and wide, without any end. A series of pathways meandered down from the top, swirling and turning around the whole place.

When Lin Fan raised his head, all he saw were steep walls. There was no sign of the gap they came down from.

Apparently, those who entered from the main entrance would enter from a different place than where they were right now.

Lin Fan surveyed the beast spirits. All of them were around pericelestial level.

If he were to kill this dense pack of spirits, the experience points would probably be quite substantial as well. But he ought to start searching for the secret hidden within the Dead Demon Seas. After all, that was the most important thing. Anything else would be a waste of time.

Lin Fan tried to fly into the air to travel, but he couldn’t as if a force were dragging him down. Seemed like flying was restricted in this place, and he could only depend on walking.

These were the types of places which Lin Fan hated the most. Not only were they ugly, but they were full of restrictive rules.

Lin Fan dodged left and right, stepping carefully so as to not bump into any beast spirits. On the pathway spiraling downwards, Lin Fan noticed that there were a lot of holes. Some of the vagrant martial artists who were more powerful and had managed to escape the grasp of the beast spirits ended up having to escape in a sorry state using these holes.

‘Hais…’

Lin Fan sighed. This Dead Demon Seas was practically a forbidden ground which demanded one’s life.

After a while, Lin Fan managed to dodge the beast spirits and reach a hole. It was then that he realized that there was a commotion happening amongst the spirits.

Looking over, he found a person hunting down these beast spirits like a madman. Shouting and roaring, it was as though he was an ancient roman gladiator, fearless and fierce.

But to Lin Fan, this was just another idiot. Instead of searching for the treasure, he was wasting his time on all these spirits. There were so many of them that it’d probably take him forever to clear them out.

Ignoring this man, Lin Fan jumped into a hole as well.

…

Somewhere else…

Teng Long was checking out his surroundings. On that grim face of his was a look of disbelief.

“Not right…not right! Why has the Dead Demon Seas changed like this?!?” Crushing a beast spirit in his hand, Teng Long stared at this familiar yet foreign place.

“My burial ground! Where the hell is it!” Teng Long was fuming right now. This was not how he had expected things to be! This present Teng Long was no longer the Teng Long he used to be. This was a body possessed by the Jade White Bones.

The sole purpose of the Jade White Bones was to find somebody with an extraordinarily incredible potential to act as a vessel. Even though Teng Long’s potential was pretty amazing, it was far from the expectations of the bones.

“God damn that bastard. How dare he feed the Heaven Revolting Life Changing pill which I had secretly stored a strain of my godly consciousness into to a bloody black dog.” Teng Long’s eyes burned with fury as he snorted coldly and continued walking.

As Lin Fan continued further down the place, he was just filled with a feeling of unease. The walls seemed to be especially pressurizing, with a threatening aura coming from the depths of this place.

There was definitely something wrong with this Dead Demon Seas, and Lin Fan was sure that the beam of black light was not the work of the ‘Seven Saints Treasure Map’. But if that were the case, just what sort of thing was lurking within this place?

Just then, Lin Fan heard the sounds of a scuffle ahead, and he headed forth to check it out.

“Hand over the thing!” A disciple of Fiery Flame Sect, Ceng Hailong, laughed coldly as he looked at the vagrant martial artist in front of him.

Ever since they entered from the main entrance, Ceng Hailong found himself alone. It was as though a mysterious force had separated him and all his other Junior Brothers who had come in with him.

Even though this would most likely pose a greater danger for them to be separated, Ceng Hailong didn’t mind it at all. After all, this meant that it was also easier to kill off others for any treasures.

Along the way, Ceng Hailong found this guy who had been acting shiftily and sneakily, hiding around. His heart then took a leap. This vagrant martial artist must have found something really good.

“Impossible…” The man opposing Ceng Hailong was a random vagrant martial artist. The moment he arrived through the gap, he found a treasure chest containing a single pill. Now that someone was trying to rob him of it, there was no way he would just let it go.

Even though he didn’t know what sort of pill this was, but for it to exist within the forbidden grounds must mean that it must be something incredible.

“Hmph, courting death…” Ceng Hailong was enraged. Transforming into a monster like state, he hit out with both palms, sending a long red beam towards the vagrant martial artist.

Exiting from the hole, Lin Fan hid himself in a corner and observed the fight.

Ceng Hailong’s cultivation base was at pericelestial full cultivation, while the vagrant martial artist was at pericelestial middle level.

Victory was determined in an instant.

“Hmph, know your place.” The vagrant martial artist laid on the floor with a gigantic hole in his chest where the red beam had shot through, as Ceng Hailong snorted in disdain and looked for the pill.

Holding onto the pill, he let out a grin.

One could easily tell of the quality of pills by just a simple sniff. This pill’s aroma was fragrant and set one at ease almost immediately.

Opening his mouth, Ceng Hailong gulped the pill immediately. He was a disciple of a big sect. Therefore, he was definitely more knowledgeable and discerning than these average vagrant martial artists. The reason why that guy didn’t dare to consume the pill was because he wasn’t sure of the side effects. But Ceng Hailong could definitely guarantee that this pill would boost his own powers.

Looking at this, Lin Fan who was in Stealth mode wanted to step out to say something. But it was too late.

Something was changing with Ceng Hailong.

Waiting for the wondrous effects of the pill, Ceng Hailong stood still. Suddenly, in that instant, he clutched his chest! It was as though his brain had stopped functioning!

Those confident eyes of his were replaced with looks of fear.

“Argh…!!!” Ceng Hailong collapsed onto the floor, clutching his head as he screamed in pain…
