151: Once the secret key is in hand, it is so cruel! [Seeking follow-up reading]
The light cluster wriggled, and within it, a delicate ancient key was faintly visible, exuding a strange fluctuation that shook people's hearts.
This sudden scene stunned everyone, and then their gazes swiveled to the light cluster shooting out from the stone statue!
"Stop!"
"Courting death!"
"Let go of that ancient key!"
"..."
When they saw Lin Fan reach out to grab the light cluster, everyone in the main hall immediately changed their expressions and shouted angrily.
Many more frantically rushed towards Lin Fan, unleashing a barrage of attacks!
Lin Fan, however, paid no mind to their reactions. In an instant, his palm touched the light cluster.
The light cluster trembled violently, and a powerful energy burst forth, sending everyone who was about to charge towards him stumbling back in disarray.
Yet, the light cluster showed no repulsion towards Lin Fan.
A pillar of light extended from the light cluster, swiftly enveloping Lin Fan.
The next moment, Lin Fan's figure mysteriously vanished amidst the stunned and angry gazes of the crowd.
As Lin Fan's figure disappeared, the pillar of light also shrunk at a visible speed.
Seeing this, everyone in the main hall changed their expressions drastically, instantly accelerating to their utmost speed, wanting to rush into the pillar of light.
Inside the hall, gusts of wind whistled as figures shot like arrows towards the shrinking pillar of light.
However, the pillar of light was shrinking faster and faster, and at their speed, it was clearly too late.
Just under those unsightly gazes, the pillar of light was about to disappear with a whoosh.
"Whoosh!"
However, at this moment, a ghostly figure suddenly darted out from mid-air, then rushed into the pillar of light, and her figure also disappeared.
After that mysterious figure rushed into the pillar of light, the pillar of light finally completely dissipated.
The other people who had charged over all found themselves empty-handed, and their faces became very grim.
"I'll just wait here. I refuse to believe you won't reappear!"
The leader of the five black-clad figures had bloodshot eyes, like a gambler who had lost everything, his face ferocious, his voice filled with chilling killing intent.
Outside the main hall, Mo Tie and Mo Ling, among others, saw this scene, their expressions slightly changed, and they quickly retreated outwards... The moment his body suddenly vanished, Lin Fan felt a sense of dizziness, but it didn't last too long before the darkness before his eyes suddenly shattered.
In its place was a dim light.
What appeared before Lin Fan was an extremely vast plaza, constructed of black rock, exuding an ancient and profound aura.
In the center of the plaza, a skeleton sat cross-legged, looking exactly like the stone statues in the main hall.
Lin Dong's figure stirred, instantly appearing before the skeleton. Between the skeleton's hands, he discovered an ancient yellow key.
This key, about the size of two palms, was made of an unknown material. It was covered with peculiar patterns, and faintly, a heart-palpitating fluctuation emanated from it.
Undoubtedly, this was precisely the ancient key, the objective of his journey!
Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all, directly grabbing at the ancient key.
"Whoosh!"
However, just then, a sharp gust of wind suddenly appeared behind him.
"Golden Body Shield!" Lin Fan muttered in his heart. The next instant, a tangible golden halo suddenly spread out from within him, forming the strongest defense around his body.
As long as one survived the second Nirvana Tribulation, they would be able to project the Nirvana Golden Body outwards to form a protective shield, known as the Golden Body Shield, which possessed astonishing defensive power!
This Golden Body Shield was the first time Lin Fan had ever used it.
"Clang!"
The sharp gust of wind struck the Golden Body Shield around Lin Fan's body, emitting a crisp sound, as if it had struck metal.
At the same time, Lin Fan had already grasped the ancient key in his hand.
Lin Fan's mind stirred, and he placed the ancient key into the System Space, then turned around.
Just a few meters away from him, there was a woman dressed in a red skirt.
The woman was tall and slender, with flowing black hair like a waterfall and a captivatingly beautiful face, exuding an astonishing charm.
"Golden Body Shield! You've actually already passed the second Nirvana Tribulation!"
The red-clad woman's expression was quite unsettled upon seeing Lin Fan unleash the Golden Body Shield, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"Miss, this habit of ambushing from behind seems a bit impolite," Lin Fan said softly to the red-clad woman, while simultaneously channeling his Qi, seemingly preparing to act.
"Hehe, it's my fault, big brother! It seems I underestimated you!"
The red-clad woman slightly distanced herself from Lin Fan, smiling as she looked at him, her voice clear and alluring, making it difficult for anyone to get angry.
"Big brother, I'm also interested in the ancient key. Would you mind giving it to me?"
"Sorry, I also have a use for this ancient key. Will you leave on your own, or shall I send you out?"
Although the red-clad woman was quite beautiful, Lin Fan was not someone who would become paralyzed upon seeing a pretty woman.
"You really don't have any pity for a delicate flower," the red-clad woman pouted, saying, "I don't know how to get out of this strange space either. How about you give me the ancient key, and I'll try using it?"
Upon hearing the red-clad woman's words, Lin Fan also remembered that by injecting Qi into the ancient key and controlling it, he could expel others from the space.
Immediately, Lin Fan stopped talking nonsense with the red-clad woman, directly took out the ancient key, and injected his Qi into it.
Seeing Lin Fan's actions, the red-clad woman immediately bit her silver teeth. After a moment, she smiled enchantingly again, her charm captivating: "Little brother, you wouldn't be so heartless, would you?"
"No choice, I am just that heartless," Lin Fan shrugged, raising the ancient key in his hand.
Instantly, the surrounding space began to writhe.
A pillar of light shot down from thin air, enveloping the red-clad woman, and her body also became faintly discernible within the pillar of light.
Under the pillar of light, the red-clad woman's cheeks alternated between green and red. After a long while, she revealed another charming smile, her voice clear and pleasant,
"Your name is Lin Fan, right? Alright, this time I, your elder sister, have fallen into your hands. But don't think you've won; you've only obtained an ancient key."
"Your elder sister will be waiting for you in the Ancient Secret Treasure. Remember my name, Mu Hongling. Next time, I'm afraid you won't be so lucky..."
Lin Fan watched the figure finally disappear completely into the light screen, but his expression remained calm, not paying much attention to her words.
After forcibly kicking Mu Hongling out of this space, Lin Fan's gaze shifted slightly, once again falling upon the skeleton in the center of the plaza.
Lin Fan remembered that within this skeleton, a remnant soul was hidden, which in the original story even attempted Possession of Lin Dong.
However, with Xiao Diao's help, it eventually became nourishment for Lin Dong to enhance his Mental Energy.
After a slight contemplation, Lin Fan temporarily ignored that fellow. With a thought, the ancient key in his hand emitted a strong light, enveloping Lin Fan's body.
Thereafter, Lin Fan's body gradually faded until it finally completely disappeared within this ancient key space.
When the darkness before Lin Fan's eyes receded like a tide, his Mental Energy was released, and he soon sensed that his current location was not the stone hall in Lei Yan Valley.
However, it was not far from Lei Yan Valley.
Thinking of Lin Dong and the others who were still in the stone hall, Lin Fan immediately flickered his body, re-entered the interior of Lei Yan Valley, and quickly headed towards the depths of the stone hall.
Before long, Lin Fan discovered the figures of Lin Dong and the others, but at this moment, their situation was not good!
