CHAPTER 248: CHAPTER 221: DECEPTION, FINALE

Outside the defense array, the three of Xing Fang were also a bit curious.

What was Tian Dalan regretting?

Could it be?

Is it possible?

They came here to rescue and greet Lu Lin, but unexpectedly witnessed a good show.

It seems that the internal situation of the Alien Race is also quite... chaotic.

"Pity, Hang Song is also dead."

"What?"

"Hang Ai is my son, he is dead."

"Hang Song is my son, also dead."

"Then what hope do I, Tian Dasheng, have left in this world?"

"You all, die with me."

Tian Dasheng also saw that the defense formation was getting weaker, and if he didn’t self-destruct soon, Xing Fang and the others would be able to kill him instantly.

As they say, there is no greater sorrow than a heart that is dead.

Tian Dasheng saw his two daughters as insignificant, while his beloved son, Hang Ai, was slain by Lu Lin.

Suddenly learning of Hang Song’s news, the result was also dead.

For life, what is there left for him to hope for?

Tired.

Let it be destroyed.

Lu Lin, seeing his state, concentrated his spiritual strength.

Ensuring he could take people into the Soul Sealing Space Crystal at any time to hide.

"Father, don’t be hasty."

Tian Dalan suddenly spoke, "You still have an offspring."

"What?"

"I have another offspring?"

Tian Dasheng looked bewildered, then realized that Tian Dalan might be stalling for time.

He sneered and prepared to self-destruct.

But then he heard Tian Dalan say, "Hang Dou."

"Hang Dou is also your son."

"Remember eight years ago, you were in a huff because little sister inexplicably hit Hang Ai, and you went to a tavern to drink your sorrows away."

"When you woke up, you weren’t at home, but in an inn."

"There was still a lingering scent of a woman by your pillow."

"That night, that woman also conceived your child, hehe, I must say, Father, although you haven’t accomplished much in life, your most glorious moment was serving as the private soldier of the City Lord, becoming the Tiger of Hang Tang."

"But in this area, you are quite lucky, three outings, and each time hit the mark."

"Truly... an enviable talent."

Tian Dalan had a peculiar expression, eyes full of mockery.

"Hang, Hang Dou is also my son?"

Tian Dasheng could not believe it.

He recalled carefully, eight years ago, he did go out drinking, after a night of that, Tian Dasheng thought he had dreamed a beautiful spring dream, he couldn’t remember if there was the fragrance of a woman by the bed when he woke up.

It seems, perhaps, maybe there was.

So, all three Madames of the Hang Tang City Lord’s Mansion had that with him?

Not only that, but each time resulted in him having a son.

This, life seems to have hope again.

However, having consumed too many self-destruct pills, Tian Dasheng could no longer control the infinitely expanding star power within him.

But it was enough.

Being able to know before dying that he still had surviving offspring, he was content.

However...

Tian Dasheng turned to glance at Lu Lin, words unspoken.

Tian Dalan saw his hesitation, smiled easily and said, "Father, this is the last time I call you father."

"Hang Dou is still alive and well, Lu Lin hasn’t had the chance to kill him."

Tian Dasheng breathed a sigh of relief at these words.

It’s good he wasn’t killed, it’s good he wasn’t killed.

Otherwise, he would have thought he fathered children only to have them killed by Lu Lin.

Fortunately, he’s left with one remaining seedling.

"However—"

As Tian Dalan spoke, Tian Dasheng’s heart tensed again.

He knew this daughter could see the future; could it be that at some point in the future, Lu Lin would find Hang Dou and kill him?

"However, Hang Dou will soon die, because at this moment, the Hang Tang Star General can hear what’s being said outside."

"He didn’t expect that all three of his sons were actually yours."

"All three of his Madames had fleeting romances with you."

"He is very angry; his rage is about to erupt like a volcano."

"Look, the Hang Tang Star General is coming."

As Tian Dalan spoke, she suddenly looked up at the distant sky.

Tian Dasheng was stunned, instinctively glancing in the direction Tian Dalan pointed.

At this moment.

The defense shield shattered, and as Tian Dalan saw Tian Dasheng look to the sky, she quickly retreated, while Lu Lin also reacted swiftly, turning and running.

Xing Fang, Duan Ya, and Zhu Henian, who were outside the defense shield watching the play, finally reacted, hastily releasing Star Skills to attack Tian Dasheng.

"Ah——"

"Tian Dalan, you deceived me!"

Tian Dasheng roared, his figure swallowed by the terrifying attack of Star Skill.

Unwillingness, anger, reluctance, sadness, pain.

All these emotions vanished from the world along with him.

Not even a trace of ashes remained.

To die at the hands of the three veteran powerhouses of the Human Federation, given Tian Dasheng’s mere sixth-level alien race status, was something to be proud of.

Of course, whether he thought so, Lu Lin wouldn’t know.

"Elder Xing, Elder Duan, Elder Zhu, thank you for your aid. Lu Lin is endlessly grateful."

As the dust settled, Lu Lin clasped his hands in gratitude to the three descending from the sky.

"No problem, no problem."

Xing Fang had already withdrawn her Ghost Face Domain by then, and her expression was now beaming, looking just like a neighborly... grandmother, kind and amiable.

Yet Lu Lin still remembered the fierceness and decisiveness when she released the Ghost Face Domain just now, but that was for his sake, after all.

"Alright, let’s go. Once we’re back in the city, you’ll be safe."

As Xing Fang said this, she was about to take Lu Lin by the hand and fly towards Food God City, completely ignoring Bai Buyi and the others.

Lu Lin smiled wryly, realizing he was about to become an airborne figure once again.

He remembered the last time he flew through the air... well, it was the last time.

Behind him, Duan Ya and Zhu Henian exchanged a smile as the old lady went back first, leaving them no choice but to clean up the battlefield.

However, thankfully, there wasn’t much to clean up.

The two took Bai Buyi, the trio, and the Tian Dayin sisters, and also returned to Food God City together.

"Elder Xing, shouldn’t we be concerned about Heavenly Calculation King and the God of Cooking?"

On the way, Lu Lin asked.

"No need, and we can’t anyway."

"If Heavenly Calculation King and the God of Cooking were defeated, then us being in Food God City or Chongnuo City wouldn’t be of any use."

"The alien race would take the opportunity to infiltrate."

"However, that won’t happen. Ji Gu Ming Jin would never permit titled king level combat to affect ordinary people, whether human, alien, or exotic beast."

"Alright, young Lu Lin, stop worrying. We’ve arrived."

Xing Fang slowed down, landing with Lu Lin in a small courtyard within the city.

"Director Long."

"Sister Long."

"Principal."

"Vice Principal Yang."

"Chairman Wan."

As soon as Lu Lin touched the ground, he saw many familiar faces and first rushed to embrace Long Qianli.

This mission, Lu Lin felt was too difficult.

Really, too difficult.

"Good, good, as long as you’re back, as long as you’re back."

Long Qianli was still quite anxious; just now, when Lu Lin and Xing Fang and others faced off against hundreds of ninth-level alien martial artists, they had just arrived, contemplating whether to assist, but received a transmission from Heavenly Calculation King Lv Susu, instructing them not to approach.

Thus, everyone could only wait there.

Wang Jianfang, Long Qiansu, and others were also filled with uncontainable excitement upon seeing Lu Lin.

Nothing else mattered; as long as Lu Lin came back, it was enough.

At the same time, they gave Long Qianli a heavy glance, silently reminding her not to forget her promise.

Long Qianli nodded subtly.

Before Lu Lin’s return, they had already decided that before Lu Lin’s power surpassed theirs, they would not allow him the opportunity to enter the Exotic Battlefield again.

From now on, he would quietly stay within the federation, guiding Star Skills for everyone.

An Lu Lin who could guide Star Skills for ninth-level martial artists to achieve advancement was far more valuable to the Human Federation than one who could become a titled king.

After greeting a few familiar faces, Lu Lin came to Long Qianli and whispered, "Director Long, I have gathered a lot from this mission, and I’d like to report the mission situation to you privately."

Long Qianli was just about to agree when she suddenly realized.

If Lu Lin was truly just capturing a Liu Chang, such an ordinary task didn’t require reporting to her; a brief task report would suffice.

But this time, Lu Lin had been missing for over a month, involving matters like the Saint, the Alliance of the Gods, the Eight Great Alien Races, and was even chased by hundreds of ninth-level alien martial artists outside Food God City.

Even now, five titans with titled king level strength were fighting in the sky over Lu Lin.

This time, Lu Lin’s mission situation was beyond what a normal Division Director could handle.

The involvement of true big shots was necessary.

"Lu Lin, there’s no rush. Your mission this time is somewhat ’special’. When we return to Chongnuo City, I will apply to the headquarters to dispatch a Safety Consultant to look into it."

"Perhaps even real big shots will come, so for now, don’t share your mission details with anyone. Take the time to organize them, ensuring there’s no omission."

"Okay."

Lu Lin had previously chatted casually about his experiences over the past month with Xing Fang, but if he had to submit task details to the headquarters’ Safety Consultant, Lu Lin would indeed need to organize carefully.

Ensuring there were no omissions.

On this occasion, he had truly delved deep into the alien race, gathering intelligence well beyond that of the average Alien Race investigation bureau member.

However, during his operations, he encountered few exotic beasts, and even when he did, they ended up roasting them with Bai Buyi and the others.

"Alright, alright, let’s not crowd around here, disperse, disperse."

"Later, we’ll create a schedule at Leakless Cottage, and everyone can guide Star Skills with Lu Lin in order, to see if there’s a chance for breakthrough."

Xing Fang, seeing Lu Lin and Long Qianli had finished speaking, aimed to disperse the crowd.

So many people, creating such a racket, made it inconvenient even for guiding Star Skills.

"Guiding Star Skills?"

"Chance for breakthrough?"

Lu Lin looked at the inside and outside of the courtyard filled to the brim with ninth-level martial artists, and felt he seemed to understand something.
