Sensing a murderous intent from the Jade Pool Saintess, Yun Fan quickly turned away, fearing she might recognize him.
Indeed, under the intense questioning from so many people, the Jade Pool Holy Lord’s face darkened. This was a clear case of framing.
Therefore, she immediately stated, "Everyone, rest assured, this is someone deliberately framing my Jade Pool Holy Land. If my Jade Pool Holy Land wanted to destroy those two aristocratic families, we would have done so long ago, why wait until now!"
"However, you don't need to worry. My Jade Pool Holy Land will find the culprit and deliver justice to everyone!"
The crowd then felt relieved.
Afterward, the Holy Assembly began. Yun Fan originally intended to slip away quietly to save a few women, but he couldn't. He had already been noticed by the Jade Pool Saintess.
If he were to sneak away now, he would likely become a target of public criticism, so he could only brace himself and head towards the secret realm.
In this regard, he had to change his original plan. Were these prodigies not intending to use these opportunities to improve their strength and then kill him?
Then he would seize these opportunities, in layman's terms, he would walk the path of these people, leaving them with no path to tread.
Soon, the formation was activated, and the door to the secret realm was opened. This was a secret realm that had existed for a very long time, containing countless resources.
Yun Fan blended into the crowd and entered the secret realm.
Upon entering the secret realm, he discovered that it was a world apart, with an ancient aura carried by the wind.
The Jade Pool Holy Land was not simple, possessing such a magical secret realm.
The secret realm was not entirely the same as the outside world. It seemed to be what was rumored to be a blessed land. Truly, comparing oneself to others could be infuriating.
Although there were many people when they entered, they all dispersed within the secret realm. Now, Yun Fan prepared to seek opportunities.
If he could use this momentum to break through to the Golden Core peak, his future path would be much smoother.
Just then, Yun Fan was startled because someone was standing on a tree ahead. This person was the Jade Pool Saintess.
Yun Fan was truly speechless. He didn't know if the Jade Pool Saintess had taken a liking to him, as she kept hounding him.
So, Yun Fan, with a disguised voice, said, "Saintess, why are you following me?"
However, the other party did not respond. She appeared to be mute. What a shame, to be so beautiful yet mute.
Then, Yun Fan said, "I still need to find opportunities and then go out to deal with that demon. I won't be accompanying you!"
Yun Fan prepared to leave, but the Jade Pool Saintess made the first move, lunging directly at him.
"Damn it!"
Yun Fan had no choice but to fight. But he knew he was no match for the Jade Pool Saintess.
Therefore, he did not linger in the fight. After a few exchanges, he was at a disadvantage and used the opportunity to escape.
It was a pity that in this secret realm, the monk could run but the temple couldn't. Yun Fan knew that the next time he encountered the Jade Pool Saintess, he would still not be her match.
Thus, he believed that his primary task now was to find opportunities. Once he broke through to the Golden Core peak, he would no longer fear the Jade Pool Saintess.
It had to be said that this time the Jade Pool Holy Land had opened up all opportunities. Yun Fan found many rare treasures in just one day.
This was not a small harvest, but he still felt the pace was too slow, so he came up with another wicked idea.
That was to plunder, to supplement his deficiencies by robbing other prodigies of their resources.
He acted as he thought. Yun Fan embarked on the path of a bandit.
Just as he was preparing to plunder the resources of other prodigies, he heard the sound of fierce fighting from behind.
The aura was powerful, clearly the battle of Golden Core experts. Could it be that someone was even more of a bandit than him, striking at others so quickly?
However, this was also normal. If even a "honest" person like him had such thoughts, these bandits would definitely be even more thieving than him.
So, Yun Fan followed the sound of fighting. Hiding in the shadows, he saw two familiar figures fighting.
One was the Son of the Myriad Beginnings, and the other, not surprisingly, was the Son of the Great Beginning.
These two, who were once one family five thousand years ago, were now fighting fiercely, bloodying each other.
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings was only at the middle stage of Golden Core and was certainly no match for the Son of the Great Beginning. Thus, after only a short while, he was defeated.
He also sustained several injuries.
The Son of the Great Beginning sneered, "You are too weak! You are not worthy of being my opponent. If I were you, I would kill myself immediately, to avoid falling into my hands and suffering a fate worse than death!"
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings coldly replied, "Even if I die, I will fight you to the end! Even if I die, I will cripple you!"
"Hahahaha!"
The Son of the Great Beginning roared with laughter, "With you? Killing you today will completely sever the legacy of your Myriad Beginnings Holy Land! A holy land that has long since declined, yet still wishes to restore its former glory, truly laughable!"
"Even if I die, my Myriad Beginnings Holy Land will have new inheritors, you don't need to worry about it!"
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings said coldly, "The rise of my Myriad Beginnings Holy Land is inevitable, no one can stop it!"
He was not afraid of death, because even if he died, his sworn elder brother, Long Aotian, could carry the banner of the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land's future.
It was just that dying at the hands of the Son of the Great Beginning made him extremely unwilling.
If Yun Fan knew his thoughts, he would have been very annoyed, because the Son of the Myriad Beginnings, who was only a few years older than him, had unknowingly become his uncle.
This was equivalent to getting an uncle for free.
"Your Myriad Beginnings Holy Land is no good, it should have been eliminated long ago. After I deal with the demon, I will personally flatten your Myriad Beginnings Holy Land!"
The Son of the Great Beginning said with ambition, "As for you, it's time to end it!"
In an instant, he directly unleashed his Golden Core peak combat power and attacked the Son of the Myriad Beginnings. The Son of the Myriad Beginnings, who was already at a disadvantage, became even more passive.
He was sent flying by a palm strike.
Just as he was about to launch the final killing blow on the Son of the Myriad Beginnings, Yun Fan, who was hiding in the shadows, made his move.
Now that the conditions allowed, it was not a problem to help the Son of the Myriad Beginnings.
At that moment, the Son of the Great Beginning, caught off guard from behind, was struck by Yun Fan on his waist.
"Ah!"
The Son of the Great Beginning let out a scream, almost having his kidney blown out by Yun Fan.
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings, who thought he was certain to die, looked on in shock.
The next moment, Yun Fan appeared.
Upon seeing the ordinary-looking Yun Fan, the Son of the Myriad Beginnings was greatly moved. Although Yun Fan was plain, even ugly, he could heavily injure the Son of the Great Beginning with a single move. Even though it was a sneak attack, it proved Yun Fan was powerful, far beyond his own capabilities.
But such a powerful prodigy should not be so ordinary! Yet he had never heard of him, nor seen him.
"Kid, who are you?"
The Son of the Great Beginning glared at Yun Fan furiously.
Yun Fan calmly said, "Listen carefully, I go by my name, Long Ritian!"
Instantly, both of their lips twitched. They had never expected such a bizarre and extremely rustic name.
What surprised the Son of the Myriad Beginnings even more was that Yun Fan shared the same surname as his sworn elder brother, Long Aotian.
Upon hearing this, the Son of the Great Beginning said coldly, "I haven't heard of you, but you dare to sneak attack me. Today, I will make sure you have no place to be buried!"
"Oh! Is that so?"
Yun Fan sneered. He couldn't beat the Jade Pool Saintess, but he couldn't beat the Son of the Great Beginning? Of course, one had to pick the softer persimmon to crush.
Of course, it wasn't just about picking the softer persimmon; certain things were also more enjoyable when they were soft.
As quick as lightning, the Son of the Great Beginning clutched his waist with one hand and gathered his strength with the other, wanting to blast Yun Fan.
"Be careful!"
The heavily injured Son of the Myriad Beginnings warned Yun Fan.
Yun Fan was already prepared. At that moment, he exchanged a palm strike with the Son of the Great Beginning. Both were pushed back.
Yun Fan admitted that he had underestimated the Son of the Great Beginning. Even though he was injured, his strength was not weaker than his.
Of course, the Son of the Great Beginning was even more shocked. He never expected this nameless person to be so strong.
Before he could react, Yun Fan attacked again. This time, he used his berserk power, his strength reaching the Golden Core peak.
"So strong!"
The Son of the Great Beginning dared not be careless and also unleashed his power exceeding the peak.
"Great Beginning Secret Art!"
As the Great Beginning Secret Art was unleashed, everything around seemed to be frozen. It was indeed terrifying.
Before the Great Beginning Secret Art, Yun Fan's speed was suddenly slowed down. Even he could not break free from this predicament, as if he were in slow motion.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Son of the Great Beginning, like flowing water, slammed a palm strike onto Yun Fan's body.
"Pfft!"
Yun Fan spat out a mouthful of blood. It wasn't that the opponent was too fast for him to resist, but that his speed had been infinitely slowed down. Even a move he could easily block on normal days had now become his death sentence. This was the Son of the Great Beginning's technique; his strength hadn't increased, but he had weakened Yun Fan's power.
The Son of the Great Beginning boasted, "Kid, so what if you sneak attacked me? In my world, you are a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. I will tear you to shreds. This is the consequence of offending me!"
Afterward, the Son of the Great Beginning stopped talking nonsense, regained his strength, and attacked Yun Fan again, each move delivering multiple critical hits.
Yun Fan was miserable. This Great Beginning Secret Art was too terrifying, it had ruthlessly suppressed him. He, who was already not weaker than the Son of the Great Beginning, was now being utterly crushed.
However, this was not the end. At this moment, the Son of the Great Beginning continued his assault. Yun Fan was enraged. This fellow was forcing him to demonize! If he didn't demonize, he would surely die today.
"Not good! If this continues, he might lose!"
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings saw Yun Fan's predicament and no longer held back, decisively unleashing the Myriad Beginnings Secret Art.
At this moment, the Great Beginning Secret Art was broken, but not entirely broken. However, for Yun Fan, it was enough. At least he didn't have to demonize and prematurely reveal his identity.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, his speed increased significantly, and he punched the Son of the Great Beginning directly in the head.
"Bang!"
The Son of the Great Beginning bled from all seven orifices, his head not far from exploding, ringing with a buzzing sound.
"Die!"
With one punch, he almost pierced the Son of the Myriad Beginnings' body.
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings flew backward like a kite with a broken string. At this moment, he was truly powerless.
Seeing this, Yun Fan did not hesitate and attacked. Before the Son of the Great Beginning could launch his second round of the Great Beginning Secret Art.
He swung his sword down.
"Swish!"
As this sword fell, the Son of the Great Beginning's hands were severed.
"Ah!"
The Son of the Great Beginning let out another scream. Before he could react, Yun Fan swung his sword again, directly cutting off his head.
The first Son of the Great Beginning met his tragic end under Yun Fan's sword.
If, at the beginning, he had fought Yun Fan head-on with all his might, Yun Fan might not have won, and he might not have lost.
But it was these coincidences that led to the downfall of this arrogant Son.
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was full of admiration for Yun Fan's strength in his heart.
He was certain that Yun Fan's strength was definitely not weaker than those powerful Sons.
"Thank you, brother, for your help!"
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings said gratefully. If not for Yun Fan's help, he would have surely died today.
Yun Fan suddenly changed his demeanor, "Who wants to help you? Hand over the resources you obtained quickly!"
"What?" Su Dan Novel Network
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings froze on the spot, not expecting Yun Fan to be a robber. But was robbing and killing the Son of the Great Beginning too high a price?
So, the Son of the Myriad Beginnings quickly handed over the resources he had found to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan was very satisfied after taking the resources. Then he also took the Son of the Great Beginning's resources. During this time, the Son of the Myriad Beginnings did not dare to breathe heavily.
He was afraid that if Yun Fan was displeased, he would suffer the same fate as the Son of the Great Beginning.
Yun Fan was very satisfied with these two gains, thinking to himself that these two fellows were really good at plundering, having gathered so much so quickly.
It seemed that nothing was faster than robbing for resources.
At this time, he still did not leave. Instead, he asked the Son of the Myriad Beginnings, "I want to ask you something! How is Long Aotian of your Myriad Beginnings Holy Land lately?"
"My elder brother?"
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings was shocked, but quickly recovered and asked Yun Fan, "Are you an old acquaintance of my elder brother?"
Yun Fan was speechless upon hearing this. He never expected to be taken advantage of by this fellow unintentionally. If possible, he really wanted to send the Son of the Myriad Beginnings away with a sword.
"I am a friend of his!"
Yun Fan suppressed his impulse and replied.
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings said, "My elder brother is fine, but his son has been slandered as a demon. If I hadn't stopped him, he might have gone to help his son, my nephew! But with his current strength, going would be sending himself to his death!"
"You shut up!"
Yun Fan was furious. This fellow was getting addicted to taking advantage.
Yun Fan said to the Son of the Myriad Beginnings, "You did well. When you go back, tell them not to act. His son is safe, understand?"
"Understood!"
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings nodded.
Just then, Yun Fan was about to leave, but before he did, he said to the Son of the Myriad Beginnings again, "Also, this guy was killed by you. It has nothing to do with me!"
"What?"
Just as the Son of the Myriad Beginnings was stunned, Yun Fan had already vanished from his original spot.
"Truly an inscrutable person!"
The Son of the Myriad Beginnings sighed.
...
After obtaining these resources, Yun Fan intended to find a place to refine them.
However, before he could find a suitable place, he was targeted again. The one who targeted him was the Jade Pool Saintess.
He even suspected if she was only focused on chasing him. What kind of deep-seated hatred was this?
From this, he could also deduce that she recognized his identity, otherwise, she would not have pursued him relentlessly.
Yun Fan fled all the way, but was still caught up by the Jade Pool Saintess. The next moment, the Jade Pool Saintess unleashed her strange movement technique and killed herself near him, striking him with a palm.
Just as he was about to be sent flying by the Jade Pool Saintess, Yun Fan became enraged. He grabbed the Jade Pool Holy Land. At this moment, he had only one thought in his heart: even if he died, he would drag the Jade Pool Holy Land down with him. This woman was truly hateful.
Then, the two of them fell down together from above. After landing, Yun Fan took another palm strike and was sent flying.
Just as he thought the Jade Pool Saintess was preparing to deliver the killing blow, the Jade Pool Saintess showed a look of terror and panic.
Yun Fan was confused, then looked around, and his expression instantly changed drastically.
Because both of them had fallen into a sea of flowers. Of course, if they were ordinary flowers, they wouldn't be so terrified.
What was terrifying was that these bright red, delicate flowers were not simple. Yun Fan had seen records of these flowers in the books of the Ghost Valley Sect.
These flowers were precisely the legendary Hehuan Flowers!
