CHAPTER 638: CHAPTER 636: NEWS OF THE SUMERU WORLD! (3RD UPDATE)

After leaving the square, Lin Fan and the others returned to the great hall.

"Lin Fan, what are your plans now? You’ve killed people from the Divine Wind Continent; they will definitely find out, and the Third Grade forces..." Gu Santong was somewhat worried and did not finish his sentence.

"Once the Third Grade forces make a move, our Holy Mansion... might be in great danger..." Gu Santong also nodded, his expression very grave.

Lin Fan had killed Song Tianhao and others, and many of the Holy Mansion’s disciples had witnessed it with their own eyes.

Even if for a moment, word doesn’t reach the Divine Wind Continent, there are no walls in the world that don’t have ears.

Before long, the families of Song Tianhao and the others will definitely find out about their deaths at the Holy Mansion.

Therefore.

The worries of Murong Guan and the others were not unfounded.

"Actually, there’s no need to worry too much!" Murong Guan suddenly spoke up.

"What do you mean, Pavilion Master?"

Everyone raised their heads and looked towards Murong Guan.

"Have you forgotten? In a few days, it will be the day when the major forces of the Divine Wind Continent compete. As long as our Holy Mansion can return to the Divine Wind Continent, even if these families find out that these young people died at our Holy Mansion, they won’t be able to lay a hand on us!" Murong Guan said with a slight smile.

"Right! How could I have forgotten about that!"

"Exactly! As long as we return to the Divine Wind Continent, the issues with these Third Grade families can be temporarily resolved!"

Gu Santong and Huo Xiao stamped their feet, both looking as if they had an epiphany.

Their worries immediately diminished considerably.

Lin Fan, Ye Yilin, Nangong Li, Mo Beiwei, and Ling Qionglan, however, all looked puzzled.

"Oh? Why is that?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"It’s like this: because the method of competition is through trials, contests, arenas, and other various forms, to select the final results in front of everyone, some people make enemies during these contests. To prevent acts of vengeance from occurring afterward, the forces of the Divine Wind Continent have a rule: any power returning to the Divine Wind Continent will have a protection mechanism in place!" Murong Guan explained with a chuckle.

"Protection mechanism?" Lin Fan asked.

Murong Guan smiled and said, "Yes, a protection mechanism! If the Holy Mansion can ultimately emerge victorious and return to the Divine Wind Continent, within the next three years, no force on the Divine Wind Continent is allowed to trouble the Holy Mansion, not even First Grade forces!"

In other words.

As long as the Holy Mansion returns to the Divine Wind Continent.

For the next three years, the Holy Mansion will be safe and sound.

"Three years?" Lin Fan nodded slightly.

’That’s more than enough; three years is sufficient for me to grow!’ Lin Fan thought with confidence in his heart.

He had embarked on the path of cultivation for just about five years. Give him three more years, who knows what realm Lin Fan could reach?

"So Lin Fan, the future of the Holy Mansion is in your hands!" Murong Guan put away his smile and looked at Lin Fan seriously.

"That’s quite a heavy burden," Lin Fan smiled.

But.

He did not feel any pressure.

As long as he could enter the top five hundred thousand among one million people, it should be feasible for the Holy Mansion to return to the Divine Wind Continent.

"Hahaha! You young lad, being modest again, saying it’s a heavy burden; but we all understand you, why would the burden be heavy for you? It’s clearly a piece of cake!" Murong Guan laughed again.

If Lin Fan looked serious, that would mean he felt the pressure.

But.

Lin Fan’s expression was very relaxed.

Which is to say, for Lin Fan, this competition was hardly anything at all!

The next second.

Murong Guan continued solemnly, "However, Lin Fan, I know for certain you can make it into the top five hundred thousand! If possible, you should try to compete for the top one thousand rankings!"

"The top one thousand?" Lin Fan was somewhat interested, "Are there any rewards?"

"Yes!"

Murong Guan nodded resolutely, staring deeply at Lin Fan, "If you enter the top one thousand, you can have access to the Sumeru World once!"

"The Sumeru World?"

"Yes! The Sumeru World, as long as you are within the top one thousand, you can enter the Sumeru World. The Sumeru World is an independent minor world, not belonging to any plane, but existing above the Divine Wind Continent!" Murong Guan’s gaze was incredibly fervent.

He, too, had longed for the Sumeru World in his youth.

But.

With his capabilities, he was far from enough, not even glimpsing the slightest possibility, completely out of his league.

"It is said that within the Sumeru World, there is a massive city left from the Ancient Era belonging to the Human Clan, and within it, treasures are abundant. You know of Divine Artifacts, don’t you?"

"I do, are there Divine Artifacts in the Sumeru World?" Lin Fan’s eyes lit up.

Having a Divine Artifact would allow the Xuanyuan Sword to advance rapidly.

"Hahaha, more than Divine Artifacts! There are even weapons that surpass Divine Artifacts. If you’re lucky, you might even obtain one or two! A genius from a Fifth Grade power entered the prestigious rank of the top one thousand by a stroke of luck a million years ago, and he obtained an ancient legacy in the Sumeru World!"

"Within a mere hundred years, this Fifth Grade power leapt to become a First Grade power! And after another hundred thousand years, this First Grade power became one of the supremely powerful forces on the Divine Wind Continent, with a legacy that endures to this day!" Murong Guan laughed heartily, his face flushed red with an undeniable excitement.

His gaze intensified, landing on Lin Fan.

"Lin Fan, I have high hopes for you. If you can obtain an ancient legacy, our Holy Mansion... perhaps we might see such a day too?" Murong Guan’s face was flushed as he stared intently at Lin Fan.

In Murong Guan’s heart, the hopes invested in Lin Fan were incredibly high!

And moreover.

Lin Fan was fully qualified for it.

"Alright, I’ll do my best," Lin Fan nodded, not throwing cold water on Murong Guan’s expectations.

"Good! Just remember this, other matters concerning the Sumeru World can wait until after we arrive on the Divine Wind Continent to be understood," Murong Guan, calming his excitement, looked at Lin Fan as if looking at a precious treasure.

"We should set out for the Divine Wind Continent in five days. During the next five days, you should spend some time with your women," Murong Guan said with a chuckle, glancing briefly over Ye Yilin, Nangong Li, Mo Beiwei, and Ling Qionglan.

Ye Yilin, Nangong Li, and Mo Beiwei did not shy away.

Only Ling Qionglan blushed shyly, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

She and Lin Fan hadn’t even established their relationship yet. How could she be considered one of Lin Fan’s women?

However.

The others present didn’t notice Qiong Lan’s embarrassment.

At this moment, as Qiong Lan was shyly blushing.

"Of course, if you need anything at all, the same old words—anything in the Holy Mansion Treasure Vault is at your disposal. However, I still suggest you go take a look. In the treasure vault of the Holy Mansion, there are some Divine Artifacts that I believe you will find interesting!" Murong Guan earnestly said.

"Alright, then I should definitely take a look!" Lin Fan replied, pleasantly surprised.
