CHAPTER 648: CHAPTER 647: A HUGE SECRET

Ascetic moved closer to Lin Fan and said, "Tell me, what secrets do you have on you?"

Lin Fan shook his head with a smile and said, "I have no secrets."

Ascetic shook his head and replied, "Never mind then."

After a slight pause, Ascetic continued, "Alright, I’ve been following you these days, and we’ve harvested enough Life Fruits. My gains are substantial. Don’t worry, I won’t be following you anymore. Take care of yourself, and be careful not to be drawn into the Life Rifts."

"Farewell!"

After saying that, Ascetic turned around and left.

Seeing that Ascetic was finally leaving, Lin Fan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Finally, the hardship had paid off. How wonderful.

After walking a few steps, Ascetic seemed to remember something suddenly, stopped, turned back to Lin Fan, and said, "Oh yes, let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Zizai!"

After saying that, Ascetic turned around again, ready to truly leave.

Just at that moment...

Lin Fan’s face changed drastically, and he muttered, "Lin Zizai?"

Seeing Lin Fan’s shocked expression, Lin Zizai couldn’t help but feel surprised and asked, "What? You seem so startled. Have you heard my name?"

Lin Zizai was very puzzled.

He thought it was unlikely for many people in the Holy Soul Domain to know his name.

But looking at the youngster in front of him, it seemed he had heard of his name?

That’s why he was puzzled.

Lin Fan did not answer Lin Zizai’s question but instead asked, "Senior, are you... from the Nine-state Continent?"

"Hmm?"

Lin Zizai hesitated and asked, "You know of the Nine-state Continent?"

Lin Fan said, "Truth be told, I too am from the Nine-state Continent, and moreover... my father is Lin Dingtian!"

"What?"

Lin Zizai was taken aback, "You’re Brother Tian’s son? You’ve grown so much?"

Lin Fan nodded.

"Haha!"

Lin Zizai laughed heartily, "Time really flies, I didn’t expect so many years to have passed in a blink. I remember when I saw you; you were still a baby, haha, haha!"

At this time, Lin Zizai appeared extremely happy.

Lin Fan spoke, "Uncle Lin, I’ve heard about you from my father. Back in the Nine-state Continent, everyone thought you had died. Who would have thought that you went to the Holy Soul Domain? And became an Ascetic?"

Lin Zizai said, "Back then on the Nine-state Continent, I coincidentally met an Ascetic passing through, and afterward, I came with them to the Holy Soul Domain and have been cultivating ever since. By the way, Fan, how’s your father? Is he doing well?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "He’s doing well!"

"Good, that’s good!" Lin Zizai happily said, "Speaking of which, I haven’t seen your father for many years. Hehe, I really hope one day he can come to the Holy Soul Domain, and then we brothers can meet again."

Lin Fan responded, "Uncle Lin, rest assured, I believe one day you will meet again!"

Lin Zizai nodded his head and then mentioned, "Right, my dear nephew, I still have important matters to attend to. Be very careful within the Life Divine Mountain!"

Lin Fan replied, "Okay!"

Lin Zizai eventually left.

However, after leaving, Lin Zizai revealed a significant secret to Lin Fan.

And that was...

The Life Inheritance of the Life Divine Mountain was located inside the Life Rifts.

But with so many Life Rifts throughout the Life Divine Mountain, who knew which Life Rift contained the Life Inheritance?

And even more crucially, if one carelessly entered a Life Rift without the Life Inheritance, they would quickly meet their demise.

Actually, the reason these Ascetics entered the Life Divine Mountain this time was mainly to search for the Life Inheritance. Unfortunately, they weren’t certain which spatial rift it was in, and so, they didn’t dare to act rashly.

After Lin Zizai’s departure, Lin Fan pondered to himself, "So, the Life Inheritance is in the Life Rifts? But in this situation, finding the Life Inheritance is exceptionally challenging. I can’t possibly test every single Life Rift, can I?"

"However, searching for the Life Inheritance may be difficult for others, but for me, there’s still a chance because... I have the Universal Image!"

For a moment, Lin Fan’s heart was filled with confidence.

He believed that with the Universal Image, he could definitely find the Life Inheritance, though there was certain danger involved.

But luckily, this bit of danger was still within the range Lin Fan could bear.

Afterward, Lin Fan carefully searched his surroundings.

Lin Fan was previously wary of Life Rifts, but now he was hoping for the Life Rifts to appear because once a Life Rift emerged, Lin Fan could explore and see if it contained the Life Inheritance.

In what seemed like the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

What Lin Fan didn’t expect was that he didn’t find a Life Rift, but instead, he encountered the three Assassins from the Hell Organization who had entered the Life Divine Mountain?

However, by now, the three Assassins of the Hell Organization had weakened to the extreme, appearing immensely aged as well.

For the past few days, their life force had been continuously drained by the special energy of the Life Divine Mountain. If they continued like this, they would not be able to last much longer. Upon seeing Lin Fan, their hearts surged with excitement, as they had already decided to kill Lin Fan and absorb his life force to refine.

Without hesitation, the three Assassins charged toward Lin Fan, summoning all the energy they could muster.

"It’s you three?"

Lin Fan said with some surprise, "In this Life Divine Mountain, I don’t wish to kill, it would be wise for you to recognize the situation!"

Lin Fan truly did not want to kill the three men.

Because Lin Fan knew that even if he didn’t kill them, they wouldn’t last much longer in this state. Why should he bother to lift a finger?

But...

The three Assassins paid no heed to Lin Fan’s words and continued their frenzied assault.

Lin Fan retreated quickly.

And yet the three Assassins followed like shadows.

Lin Fan frowned slightly and declared, "Since you’re in such a hurry to seek death, then, I shall oblige you!"

Lin Fan took action.

In an instant, Lin Fan was beside one of the Assassins, swinging his palm towards the Assassin.
