17: Divide the spoils, bet!

Lin Fan and Wu Yun didn't take Lei Li's furious shouting to heart.

Lin Fan continued to block Lei Li, Xie Yingying, and their helpers.

Wu Yun, on the other hand, quickly rolled up the three Fire Python Tiger cubs with black cloth!

Then, he let out a whistle and plunged into the depths of the jungle, swiftly disappearing!

"Haha, Lei Li, I'm leaving first. When we get to the central plaza, we'll have our decisive battle!"

Seeing that Wu Yun had successfully taken the Fire Python Tiger cubs and left, Lin Fan burst out laughing and also flew away.

As he left, a green palm print slammed towards Lei Li, who was trying to pursue him.

Lei Li barely managed to block the green palm print, only to find that Lin Fan's figure had already vanished into the dense forest.

"Ah, I'm going to kill you all!"

Lei Li roared, punching a nearby tree trunk to vent his anger!

Lin Fan, who was running at high speed, heard the impotent roar behind him but didn't take it to heart, continuing to weave through the dense forest.

After more than ten minutes, Lin Fan met Wu Yun at the agreed-upon location.

"Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to actually stop Lei Li, Xie Yingying, and a dozen others by yourself!"

When Wu Yun saw Lin Fan arrive, he couldn't help but stare at Lin Fan like a monster, feeling quite shocked.

"It seems, Brother Lin, you have now Broken Through to the Earthly Yuan Realm, and you are no weaker than Lei Li."

Lin Fan smiled faintly, "While all of you are making progress, I naturally cannot fall behind."

"Haha, it seems I need to work harder; I can't let you all leave me behind!"

Wu Yun burst into laughter at these words.

"Let's divide the spoils first," Lin Fan smiled, pointing to the bundle on Wu Yun's back.

"Alright," Wu Yun replied, placing the black cloth bundle from his back onto the ground and untying it. Three Fire Python Tiger cubs, covered in blood, slowly crawled about, looking quite adorable.

"If it weren't for Brother Lin this time, I wouldn't have known about the Fire Python Tiger, nor would I have had the chance to get the Fire Python Tiger cubs. So you choose two, and the remaining one is mine."

Wu Yun said with a smile, looking at the three Fire Python Tiger cubs.

"Then I won't be polite," Lin Fan nodded slightly, first choosing the cub that looked the weakest, and then another female cub.

The last remaining one, on the other hand, looked the most robust.

Seeing Lin Fan's choice, Wu Yun was slightly stunned, then said solemnly, "Brother Lin's kindness, Wu Yun has noted."

In Wu Yun's view, Lin Fan had left him the best Fire Python Tiger cub.

"Hehe, a cub that looks weak now might achieve greater things in the future," Lin Fan said with a smile, holding the two Fire Python Tiger cubs.

"Haha, then that will depend on Brother Lin's luck."

Wu Yun merely took Lin Fan's words as a joke and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Let's go, it's time to head up," Lin Fan shook his head slightly, no longer continuing the topic.

Wu Yun nodded, carefully placing the remaining Fire Python Tiger cub into his embrace... Around the Beast Horn Arena, a dense sea of people stretched as far as the eye could see.

Countless gazes converged on the mountain-top plaza in the center of the Beast Horn Arena.

That would be the final gathering place for the participants of the hunting competition.

"It's Brother Lin Fan!"

Suddenly, Qing Tan, who was sitting on a stone chair, stood up and exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing Qing Tan's voice, Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, Lin Dong, and the other younger generation members of the Lin Family all looked over and indeed spotted Lin Fan on the giant platform in the central plaza.

Seeing Lin Fan successfully ascend the platform, Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, and the others were completely relieved.

At the same time, Luo Cheng, Hall Master, the Hall Master of the Mad Blade Martial Hall, also noticed Wu Yun, who ascended the platform with Lin Fan, and nodded with satisfaction.

As soon as Lin Fan and Wu Yun ascended the platform, several presiding judges immediately came forward, checked the number of identity tokens in their hands, and then nodded and stepped back.

Not long after, Lei Li and Xie Yingying also flew onto the stone platform.

As soon as they ascended the platform, their faces turned ashen as they looked at Lin Fan and Wu Yun, their eyes filled with fury.

Lin Fan and Wu Yun looked at their angry expressions, exchanged glances, and felt exceptionally happy.

Lei Li's face was grim, and he said coldly, "I won't let you take the cubs away so easily!"

Immediately, Lei Li turned around, faced the viewing area where the Lei and Xie Families were seated, and loudly announced the matter of the Fire Python Tiger cubs.

Hearing Lei Li's words, not only Lei Bao and Xie Qian, but everyone in the arena was stunned for a moment, and then a commotion broke out.

"What?"

"Three Fire Python Tiger cubs?"

"That means three Heavenly Yuan Realm experts will definitely emerge in the future!"

"..."

In Qingyang Town, for any force, this power was not to be underestimated!

After listening to Lei Li's embellished account, Wu Yun sneered, "The Fire Python Tiger was already severely injured and dying. Does it belong to whoever sees it first?"

"If that's the case, tomorrow I'll go for a stroll in the deep mountains, and any Yao Beast I see will belong to my Mad Blade Martial Hall!"

Wu Yun's words caused many people in the arena to laugh, but some also agreed with Wu Yun, believing that Lei Li's claims were baseless.

Immediately, Lei Bao, Luo Cheng, Hall Master, and Lin Zhentian engaged in another war of words.

Because of the Fire Python Tiger cubs, the atmosphere in the arena became tense!

"Hall Master Luo, Family Head Lin, it's not good for anyone if things really escalate."

Just then, Xie Qian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

"Coincidentally, the last event of the hunting competition is a Martial Art competition between the Disciples of each family. How about we decide the ownership of the Fire Python Tiger cubs based on the outcome of the competition?"

Lin Zhentian frowned and sneered, "You want to get something for nothing just by opening your mouth?"

Lei Bao immediately said, "Our Lei Family will use Tiemu Village as collateral."

"If Lei Li loses, Tiemu Village will belong to the Lin Family, but if Lin Fan loses, the Fire Python Tiger cubs on Lin Fan will belong to the Lei Family."

Lin Zhentian heard this and couldn't help but glance at Lin Fan, as if asking him if he was confident.

"Grandpa, agree to them," Lin Fan had been hiding his strength, waiting for this moment, so he naturally wouldn't hesitate.

Lin Zhentian heard this, hesitated slightly, and then loudly declared, "Alright, my Lin Family accepts!"

Before the hunting competition, Lin Zhentian already knew that Lin Fan possessed Earthly Yuan Realm Cultivation and had also Cultivated a seventh-grade Martial Art.

In Lin Zhentian's view, Lin Fan still had a good chance of winning against Lei Li.

Whoosh!

The crowd around the Beast Horn Arena, learning of this wager between the Lin Family and the Lei Family, immediately burst into an uproar.

The preciousness of the Fire Python Tiger cubs goes without saying, and the Lei Family's Tiemu Village was also very important.

Such a high-stakes gamble, they had never seen before in Qingyang Town!

On the giant platform in the central plaza, the other participants now voluntarily withdrew some distance, leaving a wide open space in the middle of the platform.

Lei Li was the first to walk to the center, a sinister look flashing in his eyes, and he said chillingly towards Lin Fan's direction:

"Thank you for looking after my Fire Python Tiger cubs! Soon, you'll have to return them!"

"Are you dreaming in broad daylight?"

Lin Fan calmly retorted, temporarily entrusting the Fire Python Tiger cubs to Wu Yun's care, and then stepped forward to stand opposite Lei Li.

"Both sides in position, the competition begins!"

The judge, seeing this, no longer delayed and loudly announced.
