CHAPTER 367: CHAPTER 0364: ME, FULL OF QUESTION MARKS

A few days later!

Taiwu Immortal Sect.

Bai Qiu was in a panic, hurriedly running to find his senior sister. From the look on his face, it was clear how frightened he was—one could even say he was scared half to death.

"Senior Sister, we’re in big trouble this time. Something serious has happened."

As Sect Leader, one ought to remain calm.

But right now, calm was out of reach.

He was utterly panicking.

Wei You frowned, "What now?"

Bai Qiu said, "I just received news—Lin Fan had a massive fight with those Sect Leaders at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Fighting is one thing, no big deal. But the key issue is—this brat, for some reason, went ahead and severed the arm of the Sect Leader from the Cave Origin Immortal Mountain!"

"What?!" Wei You looked at Bai Qiu in astonishment.

Clearly, she was shocked by this as well.

"He really severed it?"

"Absolutely true, not a shred of falsehood. The other side has already declared that they’ll kill Lin Fan. Things have spiraled out of control."

Bai Qiu felt like his head was about to explode.

Things were escalating way too fast.

Everything was fine—how on earth did it come to this?

There wasn’t even room for negotiation.

"Senior Sister, what do you think we should do now? I suggest having him ascend—this is the best option for him. That way, if things escalate further, it won’t become unmanageable." Bai Qiu proposed.

If there were a chance for a vote,

he’d not only raise both hands but also lift both feet in agreement.

Wei You wasn’t the kind of person without her own thoughts.

She was aware that some matters couldn’t be delayed any longer.

It wasn’t that she was afraid.

She just worried that if Fan Er continued this way, it would lead to major trouble.

"Alright, let’s do as you suggest," Wei You agreed.

Bai Qiu said, "I’ll start preparations immediately to ensure everything goes smoothly. Senior Sister, don’t worry—there won’t be any problems. You know how strong that brat is. His power is formidable; the Heavenly Tribulation won’t pose him any trouble. And with the Taiwu Immortal Sect’s fortune protecting him, there’s even less to worry about."

Currently, Lin Fan is on the brink of thoroughly provoking the Sect Leaders of various Immortal Sects.

But if he pushes them to the point where they use their sect’s Treasure, it won’t be as easy to handle.

Wei You sighed softly.

There was nothing else she could do. She soared into the Void to see the Sect Leader of Cave Origin Immortal Mountain, hoping to mediate—but the chances of success were slim.

After driving away the Immortal Sect Leaders, Lin Fan immediately left the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

This group of people was like persistent clingy plasters.

Harassing him day and night.

But he swore to the heavens:

The Sect Leader whose arm he severed—it really wasn’t on purpose.

Initially, he just wanted to suppress them, but unexpectedly, that Sect Leader suddenly appeared before him. Caught off guard, he accidentally struck, severing the arm. The scene at the time was indeed quite gruesome. The blood of a True Immortal, saturated with celestial qi, was rather striking.

Even the Heavenly Vault above had been painted into a beautiful masterpiece.

"Sigh, I hope he understands—I really didn’t mean to."

Traversing the Void, Lin Fan felt no lingering concern about the earlier events. Severed arm? Done. What else could he do?

Those Sect Leaders were indeed strong.

If they joined forces, even with his level of mana, it would still be a bit challenging to suppress them all.

Of course...

If he went on a killing spree, he was confident he could consecutively strike down a few of them.

It just hadn’t come to that point yet.

Taiwu Immortal Sect.

When Lin Fan returned to the mountain peak, he saw Xi Xi and the others already waiting there. Huang Jiujiu, meanwhile, was playing with Little Sun. Little Sun’s demonic aura was still intense, but fortunately, the ancient ring she wore suppressed it significantly compared to before.

The only issue was...

Little Sun still held an unfriendly attitude toward Lin Fan.

It felt as if she harbored a deep-seated grudge against him.

"Junior Brother, will you really be okay in the end?" Xi Xi asked worriedly.

She knew her strength was weak and that she couldn’t be of any help. The news brought back by the other disciples stated that her Junior Brother had caused big trouble outside.

It made her incredibly distraught.

Lin Fan smiled lightly. "Don’t worry; what could possibly go wrong? Everything is perfectly safe. You don’t need to think too much. By the way, how’s Little Sun? Has her condition been stable?"

Xi Xi replied, "She’s doing alright, but sometimes she shows strong aggression. Luckily, Jiu Er is by her side, so there haven’t been any incidents. It seems like when she’s with Jiu Er, she turns into a different person."

Lin Fan looked at Jiu Er in surprise, marveling inwardly. What an extraordinary disciple. But why did Little Sun feel so attached to her?

A mysterious space.

Here, there was no sky, no earth—everything looked like it was inside a mirror.

A figure slowly walked through this space.

If Lin Fan were here, he would instantly recognize him—wasn’t it Sheng Wushuang?

After obtaining the Eternal Immortal Venerable’s inheritance, he considered himself invincible, despising everyone. Yet he was defeated by Lin Fan, losing the Eternal Divine Furnace in the process.

But judging from the current situation,

he had clearly used the Eternal Secret Treasure Key to arrive here, searching for the Eternal Immortal Venerable’s legacy.

"Lin Fan, just you wait. Once I truly obtain the inheritance, your death will be certain." Sheng Wushuang’s eyes burned with vengeance—a fiery desire for revenge.

However, he was also self-aware.

Knowing he couldn’t defeat Lin Fan, he hadn’t sought him out again.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that just be gifting points to him?

"Where is the Immortal Venerable’s inheritance?"

He looked around but still hadn’t found it. The area was vast; he’d been walking for some time with no success.

Yet the key in his hand emitted a faint glow.

As he advanced step by step,

the light grew brighter and brighter.

"It’s just up ahead."

Swoosh!

Sheng Wushuang transformed into a streak of light, rushing forward at full speed.

Soon,

he sensed an astonishing aura emanating—it was thick and interwoven with the Immortal Dao Laws.

"This is..."

He stared in shock at the scene before him.

Several Immortal Treasures floated in midair, surrounding an Immortal Pill. The pill radiated golden light with dense clouds swirling above, almost forming a nebula.

"What a treasure! This must be extraordinary!"

Sheng Wushuang’s face flushed with excitement. He couldn’t wait and immediately collected the treasures. Finally, he also pocketed the Immortal Pill.

It was as if all this had been prepared just for him, patiently waiting for his arrival.

"Huh!"

At this moment, in the distance, a beam of golden light shone brilliantly, forming an illusory image of the Immortal Realm. Its majesty was overwhelming as Sheng Wushuang stared, his body trembling.

"There’s more..."

Unexpectedly, there were more rare treasures waiting for him, so naturally, he rushed over eagerly.

Before long,

he saw a golden skeleton sitting cross-legged in the distance.

It seemed to have been dead for a long time.

The skeleton bore no trace of flesh, yet its bones glimmered with a golden radiance. Each bone was like a treasure of the Immortals, exuding faint residual power.

This skeleton had likely been an extraordinarily fearsome powerhouse in its lifetime.

Sheng Wushuang endured the pressure—it was a formidable aura. Even in death, the skeleton remained dreadfully imposing. Yet, he didn’t know what purpose this skeleton served.

Slowly, he extended his hand and touched the skeleton.

Buzz!

In an instant,

something astonishing happened.

The moment his palm landed on the skeleton, a peculiar sensation surged into his heart.

Sheng Wushuang’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"This skeleton belonged to a supremely powerful figure, containing their lifetime inheritance. But it’s not the Eternal Immortal Venerable’s..."

Suddenly,

a portal behind the skeleton swung open. It looked like the gate to the Immortal Realm, leading directly to it.

A roaring suction force emerged,

grabbing Sheng Wushuang and vanishing him without a trace.

A few days later,

Wei You returned. From her expression, it was obvious things hadn’t gone as she had hoped.

"Senior Sister, Lin Fan returned a few days ago. I’ve already set everything up; we just need to take him to the back mountain," Bai Qiu said.

He spoke in a low voice, appearing sneaky—this matter was known only to him and his senior sister. No one else was aware, lest the word spread.

If Lin Fan got wind of it, all their efforts would be in vain.

Wei You didn’t respond, remaining silent.

"Senior Sister, since you’ve spoken to them, you should know the situation. What’s there to hesitate about? The longer you wait, the more complicated it will become," Bai Qiu urged.

Wei You nodded, "I understand... I know. Just give me a few more days. I want to spend some time with Fan Er."

"No!" Bai Qiu quickly said, "Senior Sister, that boy is sharp. If you make it too obvious, he’ll definitely notice something. Act as usual—don’t make it feel like a farewell."

Bai Qiu was clever.

He understood Lin Fan well. Although Lin Fan loved causing trouble, his awareness was incredibly high. If he sensed something was off, he’d definitely make a swift exit.

Seeing his senior sister still hesitant, Bai Qiu added,

"Senior Sister, take my advice—after all, you’ll ascend one day too. You’ll meet him again then, so why worry about this brief separation?"

"Trust your junior brother—don’t show your hand."

"And the sooner, the better. Based on my understanding of that brat, he won’t stay in the sect for long."

If Lin Fan were here,

he’d surely exclaim,

"How do you know me so well? Are you secretly in love with me or something? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be this accurate."

Wei You said, "Alright, let’s go with your plan."

At the mountain peak,

Lin Fan tried tentatively to communicate with Little Sun, but unfortunately, her bared teeth and ferocious demeanor left no room for negotiation.

"Master, don’t scare Little Sun, alright?" Huang Jiujiu complained.

Lin Fan pointed at himself, then at Little Sun.

Damn!

Who’s scaring whom here?

This needs to be clarified first.

The next day,

Lin Fan felt everything was calm and peaceful. The Martial Arts Stele hadn’t been tampered with—if anyone had messed with it, he would have sensed it instantly.

Strange.

Could it be that those guys were actually terrified of him?

While he pondered, a voice called out from afar.

"Fan Er, come here to Mother."

Lin Fan wondered—why was his mother calling him?

But he still headed toward the voice.

Back mountain.

"Mother, what’s going on? Why did you call me here?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

Looking at the surroundings, there didn’t seem to be anything unusual.

Wei You turned to look at Lin Fan, her gaze lingering for a long time.

"Fan Er... don’t blame Mother. Everything is for your own good."

Lin Fan: ???
