258: Return to Dao Sect, exquisite formation! [Seeking follow-up reading]

After a while, Lin Fan, as if nothing had happened, gently put her down, under the girl's increasingly embarrassed gaze.

"Huh? How did this place become like this?"

Ying Huanhuan's cheeks were slightly red as she tidied her clothes, then her big eyes looked at the ice-blue ground on the mountaintop, and she couldn't help but be stunned, asking in confusion.

"It's because of the Formation," Lin Fan explained with a faint smile.

Ying Huanhuan nodded, not delving deeper into the matter. Then she raised her pretty face, her cheeks showing unconcealed joy, "My Primordial Spirit has also successfully condensed!"

"Congratulations!" Lin Fan said with a smile.

"What are your plans next?" At this moment, Xiao Diao, who was off to the side, walked over, looked at the two of them, and then asked.

Lin Fan said, "We need to return to Dao Sect first. The Sect Tournament will be held soon."

"The Sect Tournament, huh? That's a grand event in the Eastern Xuan Region. Its danger and intensity are even greater than the Hundred Dynasty War," Xiao Diao said with a smile upon hearing this.

"As far as I know, previous Sect Tournaments have always been held in the Different Demon Domain, right? Tsk tsk, that place is extremely dangerous!"

"The Different Demon Domain? What's there? Why is it so dangerous?" Lin Dong asked, his brows slightly furrowed, upon hearing this.

Xiao Diao smiled faintly and began to introduce the origin of the Different Demon Domain to Lin Fan and Lin Dong.

Afterward, the two parties chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan continued their adventures outside.

Lin Dong, Lin Fan, and Ying Huanhuan, on the other hand, returned in the direction of Dao Sect... During their return to Dao Sect, the three of them flew separately, and Ying Huanhuan would occasionally stop to play, extending the travel time by about double compared to when they left.

By the time they arrived at Dao Sect, half a month had already passed.

As the three of them had just entered Dao Sect's massive Formation light barrier and were about to go their separate ways, they were stopped by the Sect's law enforcement team.

"Lin Fan, Junior Disciple, Huanhuan, Junior Sister, Lin Dong, Junior Disciple, the Sect Master wants to see you immediately upon your return."

The leader of the enforcers swept his gaze over the three of them, then said.

"Many thanks, Senior Brother."

Lin Fan thanked him, cupped his hands to the group of law enforcement Disciples, and then, along with Ying Huanhuan and Lin Dong, quickly flew towards the depths of Dao Sect.

"Oh, and Huanhuan, Junior Sister, Martial Uncle Qi Lei said to return the Sky Phoenix Zither as soon as you get back."

Just as the three were about to leave, Ying Huanhuan suddenly heard a teasing voice from behind again, and her little face immediately fell.

"It's over, it's over, I'm definitely going to be grounded this time..."

Looking at the constantly muttering Ying Huanhuan, Lin Fan shrugged slightly, indicating he couldn't help.

Before long, the three of them flew into the depths of Dao Sect, finally landing on a secluded mountaintop with a bamboo house.

As they landed, the first thing they saw was Ying Xuanzi standing with his hands behind his back in front of the bamboo house.

As the three of them landed, Ying Xuanzi, dressed in white, slowly turned around. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Fan saw his gaze suddenly stop on Ying Huanhuan.

In that instant, Lin Fan could sense that the latter's pupils seemed to contract slightly... but very quickly, his eyes returned to normal.

"You three are quite the troublemakers. Not only did you steal the Sky Phoenix Zither, but you also killed an Elder and two Spirit Generals from Yuan Gate. You really know how to cause trouble..."

Ying Xuanzi glanced at the three of them indifferently, then said.

Hearing Ying Xuanzi's words, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He hadn't dealt with Ying Xuanzi before and didn't know his personality, so he was somewhat worried.

Lin Fan, however, was relatively much calmer.

"Daddy, those guys from Yuan Gate came looking for trouble. If we hadn't acted, it probably would have been us who couldn't come back..." Ying Huanhuan pouted, muttering.

"Fortunately, Ren Yuanzi didn't discover your identities this time, otherwise, Yuan Gate wouldn't let it go, especially since the Sect Tournament hasn't even started yet," Ying Xuanzi glared at Ying Huanhuan and said.

"However... since the matter wasn't discovered, let's just consider it passed. The people of Yuan Gate... as long as it's not truly brought to light, killing them is fine..."

Hearing this, Lin Dong and Ying Huanhuan both breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Huanhuan, you go back first and return the Sky Phoenix Zither to Martial Uncle Qi Lei. Although this item is already considered yours, it must remain in the Heavenly Hall until your strength meets the standard."

After a pause, Ying Xuanzi said to Ying Huanhuan.

"Oh."

Ying Huanhuan nodded obediently, her big eyes darting to Lin Fan, then she said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I'm leaving, you take care of yourself."

With that, the girl transformed directly into a rainbow light, fleeing the mountain peak as if escaping.

"This girl..." Ying Xuanzi couldn't help but smile as he watched the rainbow light disappear into the distance.

His gaze gradually retracted, and Ying Xuanzi looked at Lin Fan and the other. His smile slowly faded, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "You all know what happened to Huanhuan, right?"

Lin Fan countered, "Does the Sect Master also know?"

"I sensed it when she was very young, but I never expected that when she condensed her Primordial Spirit, she would form a connection with that spiritual essence."

Ying Xuanzi sighed softly, his eyes a little complex.

"This girl... she's actually a Reincarnation. I just don't know which ancient super powerful expert she was in her past life..."

Lin Fan said, "No matter who she was in her past life, in this life, she is only Ying Huanhuan."

"Rest assured, I know this better than you. No matter what Huanhuan becomes, she will always be my daughter, and even if she truly Awakens, she will still be the dominant force in this life," Ying Xuanzi said with a faint smile.

After some casual conversation, Ying Xuanzi said, "There's a little over a month until the Sect Tournament. You two go, and during this time, quietly Cultivate within the Sect."

"Also, remember not to leak the fact that Huanhuan is a Reincarnation. If Yuan Gate finds out, they might secretly act against Huanhuan, after all, if she Awakens, that would be quite extraordinary..."

"Understood, Disciple," Lin Fan nodded and said.

Lin Dong also expressed his stance, saying he would not leak it.

"Oh, right, Disciple has a Formation here. It should be of some help for the upcoming Sect Tournament. Please, Sect Master, pass this Formation to the Disciples who will be participating in the Sect Tournament."

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Fan suddenly remembered something and said to Ying Xuanzi.

"Oh? You also study Formations?" Ying Xuanzi was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Lin Fan simultaneously Cultivates both Yuan Power and Mental Energy, and both are progressing quickly. He hadn't expected him to also have time to delve into Formations.

"In terms of Formations, Disciple is quite confident," Lin Fan said with a slight, confident smile.

Ying Xuanzi smiled and said, "What kind of Formation is it? May I take a look first?"

"Of course. Does the Sect Master have paper and brush here?" Lin Fan nodded and said.

Ying Xuanzi nodded slightly, took out a set of paper and brush, and handed them to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't stand on ceremony. In front of Ying Xuanzi, he drew the Formation diagram, and of course, included a detailed written explanation.

"Sect Master, please take a look," After doing all this, Lin Fan handed the Formation diagram and written explanation to Ying Xuanzi and said.

"What a brilliant Formation!"

Ying Xuanzi took the Formation diagram and written explanation, mentally deduced it, and his eyes immediately lit up as he praised.
