293: Ren Yuanzi takes action, Ying Huanhuan worries! [Seeking follow-up reading]
Just then, the space in front of Shi Dong and the others suddenly distorted.
Then, a slender and fair hand reached out from within, flicked a finger, and an invisible ripple spread out, actually shattering the thousand-foot-tall Vermilion Bird!
Lin Fan stared intently at the distorted space in front of Shi Dong and the others, his expression becoming very solemn.
“Heh heh, after so many years, Dao Sect has once again produced a decent Disciple, but his methods are a bit too ruthless, aren't they…?”
A faint laugh slowly emanated from within the distorted space, and then everyone saw it.
A figure slowly stepped out from within the distorted space.
And the moment he appeared, the heavens and earth seemed to suddenly dim.
An invisible ripple spread out, causing many people to feel an urge to prostrate themselves.
“That is…”
On the pavilion, Ling Qingzhu looked at the figure who had walked out of the space, and even with her Heart-Nature, she couldn't help but gasp.
“One of Yuan Gate’s three Great Sect Masters… Ren Yuanzi.”
Beside her, a middle-aged beautiful woman also tightly clutched her jade-like hand, her voice slightly strained and solemn.
At the same time, everyone in the entire Yimo City subconsciously looked up at the figure who had walked out of the distorted space above the sky.
There were no Yuan Qi fluctuations on that figure, but the subtle pressure emanating from him seemed to solidify even the air.
He wore a purple-gold robe, had silver hair, and his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of time, yet his skin was as fair as a baby's, which made people feel slightly surprised.
The entire city fell silent the moment that person appeared.
No matter what kind of expert they were, everyone's faces tightened at this moment, their eyes grave and terrified as they stared at the figure in the sky.
“Ren Yuanzi…”
A deathly silence lasted for a long time, and finally, some suppressed, trembling voices quietly spread.
No one had expected that such a top-tier expert, almost at the peak of the Eastern Xuan Region, would appear here… In the sky, Qi Lei and the other three’s expressions also became extremely ugly at this moment, their gazes meeting, with some unease in their eyes.
Facing an expert of Ren Yuanzi's caliber, even they felt quite powerless.
Many Dao Sect disciples also felt a little flustered at this moment.
An existence like Ren Yuanzi was almost like a legend to them, and now seeing him with their own eyes, it was inevitable that they would feel some panic in their hearts.
Hearing the commotion from behind, Ying Xiaoxiao's face also looked rather unpleasant, her jade-like hand clenched tightly, and a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.
Ren Yuanzi held a revered position and would never easily show himself, but now that he had appeared, it meant that some matters might not be easily resolved.
“Sister,” Ying Huanhuan called out with unconcealed worry on her face, feeling a little uneasy.
“It’s nothing,” Ying Xiaoxiao gently shook her head, only able to comfort her thus.
Lin Dong, Qing Tan, and Xiao Diao also felt a strong sense of unease in their hearts.
“Xiao Diao, is there a way?” Lin Dong clenched his fist and asked Xiao Diao beside him.
Among them, Xiao Diao was the strongest, so Lin Dong could only place his hopes on Xiao Diao.
Hearing Lin Dong's words, Qing Tan, Huo'er, and Xiao Yan all looked at Xiao Diao.
Xiao Diao smiled bitterly: “If it were only Ren Yuanzi alone, I might be able to stop him for a bit and then find a way to escape, but I’m afraid…” Xiao Diao didn’t finish his sentence, but Lin Dong and the others all understood his meaning, and their hearts couldn't help but sink.
Lin Dong suddenly gritted his teeth, his face somewhat ferocious as he said, “No matter what, we can’t let Brother Lin Fan face such a powerful enemy alone. At worst, we’ll fight them to the death!”
Qing Tan, Xiao Yan, and Huo'er, who were nearby, also had no objections and intended to attack together.
Chen Kui smiled bitterly, but showed no intention of retreating.
“Don’t be impulsive,” Xiao Diao reached out to stop Lin Dong and the others, whispering, “Lin Fan just told me he has a way to deal with it. Let’s watch first. If he can’t manage, then we’ll go all out.”
Under Xiao Diao’s persuasion, Lin Dong and the others temporarily remained in place, their eyes fixed on the sky, ready to assist at any moment.
“Sect Master, we are incompetent and unable to complete the task.”
In the sky, Shi Dong and the others, seeing Ren Yuanzi appear, hurriedly knelt in mid-air, somewhat fearfully.
“You all may withdraw,” Ren Yuanzi waved his hand, speaking faintly.
Shi Dong and the six others did not dare to say anything more and silently retreated to the side.
Ren Yuanzi’s gaze shifted to Lin Fan, and he smiled faintly, “You first slaughtered over five hundred of my Yuan Gate Disciples, and now you want to kill the six department heads of my Yuan Gate. You truly are a ruthless young fellow…”
“Your Killing Intent is too strong. This time, you will return to Yuan Gate with me to properly suppress your Killing Intent, and then let Ying Xuanzi come to Yuan Gate to retrieve you.”
Lin Fan stared at Ren Yuanzi, and said in a deep voice, “What? You, as the Sect Master of Yuan Gate, actually disregard the rules jointly established by the Eight Super Sects as if they were nothing?”
“Rules? Heh heh, as for rules, once one’s strength is sufficient, they can simply be changed…”
Ren Yuanzi was startled, then smiled and shook his head. He looked at Lin Fan, his voice gentle, and said:
“The rules you acknowledge hold no binding power in my eyes. So, you don’t need to childishly try to use rules to stop me. Come with me to Yuan Gate, and then let Ying Xuanzi personally come to retrieve you.”
As his voice fell, Ren Yuanzi flicked his sleeve, and the space around Lin Fan suddenly distorted.
A terrifying, irresistible force permeated from the space, making his body completely unable to move.
Lin Fan’s face was calm, and he sneered, “Want to take me back? I’m just afraid you don’t have the ability!”
“Heh heh, stubbornness is useless. Don’t worry, I won’t take your life. At most, I’ll cripple your cultivation. Then, Ying Xuanzi can just come and retrieve you,” Ren Yuanzi said with a smile.
“Sect Master Ren Yuanzi, you are going too far!” Chen Zhen finally could not suppress the anger in his heart and shouted.
“Heh heh? Too far?” Ren Yuanzi smiled noncommittally, then ignored Chen Zhen, extended his palm into the air, and then the space around Lin Fan gradually distorted.
“You!”
Chen Zhen and the other three’s expressions immediately changed drastically upon seeing this. Then, they gritted their teeth fiercely, and the four of them actually attacked Ren Yuanzi simultaneously.
However, Ren Yuanzi completely ignored their combined attack, casually flicked a finger, and a crack was torn open in the space in front of him, directly swallowing the four’s attacks.
Then, he flicked his sleeve, and an indescribable gust of wind swept out, sending Chen Zhen and the other three flying back, spitting blood!
Xiao Diao, below, saw this scene, and a cold light flickered in his eyes, as he prepared to step forward and help.
“No need to act,” Lin Fan, however, transmitted his voice to Xiao Diao again, and at the same time, with a slight thought, he utilized one of the abilities of the Space Ancestor Symbol—Space Shuttle.
To everyone’s shocked gazes, Lin Fan’s figure actually disappeared from its original spot without a sound!
Shi Dong and the six others looked on in horror, as if they had seen a ghost.
Ren Yuanzi, who had been amiable ever since his appearance, his eyes slowly darkened at this moment… (End of Chapter)
