297: The Lord of the Dark Palace descends, and it comes to an end! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Back then, Zhou Tong single-handedly stormed the Yuan Gate, and although he achieved glorious results, he ultimately never returned!

In everyone's eyes, Zhou Tong had already died in the Yuan Gate.

Back then, Ying Xuanzi couldn't protect Zhou Tong. Now, Dao Sect has gained a top-tier expert, while Yuan Gate has lost one.

Ying Xuanzi also felt more confident and could step forward to protect Lin Fan.

Tian Yuanzi had also considered this point. More importantly, Ren Yuanzi's Primordial Spirit was still in Lin Fan's hands.

Even if Tian Yuanzi continued to act under the pretext of the Heavenly Demon Mink, he would only fall into a stalemate again.

After all, Ren Yuanzi was also a part of Demon Prison's plan, and Tian Yuanzi couldn't disregard Ren Yuanzi.

Therefore, he agreed to the three-year agreement set by Lin Fan.

Hearing Ying Xuanzi's words, Di Yuanzi's expression turned cold and sinister. He said in a frigid tone, "Ying Xuanzi, don't push your luck! Do you really think that with one more Reincarnation Realm expert, Dao Sect can contend with my Yuan Gate?"

"Thank you, Sect Master, for considering your Disciple, but since it was the three-year agreement set by your Disciple, I will not go back on my word, unlike some shameless people!"

Ying Xuanzi was about to say something more, but Lin Fan spoke first.

For Lin Fan, this was the best situation.

Continuing the stalemate was meaningless, and letting Yuan Gate completely rampage would also be detrimental to him and Dao Sect.

If it were just Lin Fan alone, no one present could stop him if he wanted to leave.

But Lin Fan couldn't be too selfish and only consider himself.

Di Yuanzi's face became slightly unnatural upon hearing this, but Tian Yuanzi still maintained a calm and composed demeanor, not taking Lin Fan's words to heart at all.

Ying Xuanzi and the blue-robed elder both frowned slightly, but said nothing.

"Lin Fan, don't be rash!" Hearing Lin Fan's words, the Desolate Hall Master, Chen Zhen, immediately spoke out with an anxious expression.

From the aura Lin Fan displayed, he was only at the Life Profound Realm Great Accomplishment.

From a normal person's perspective, for Lin Fan to Breakthrough to the Death Profound Realm in three years would already be very impressive!

But for Lin Fan to storm Yuan Gate, he must have the strength of the Reincarnation Realm to have a chance of winning.

And to Breakthrough from Life Profound Realm Great Accomplishment to Reincarnation Realm in three years, in everyone's eyes, was completely impossible!

It was precisely because of this that Tian Yuanzi agreed to Lin Fan's three-year agreement.

Ying Huanhuan, Ying Xiaoxiao, and the other Dao Sect disciples all had worried expressions.

Three years was simply too short!

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Martial Uncle Chen Zhen doesn't need to persuade me further. Even if I wanted to add a few more years, I'm afraid the two Sect Masters of Yuan Gate wouldn't agree."

"Enough nonsense, hand over Junior Brother Ren Yuanzi's Primordial Spirit," Di Yuanzi sneered and said.

"Don't be anxious, two Sect Masters," Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "I'm quite concerned about the credibility of the two Sect Masters, so I need to ask someone to witness our agreement."

Hearing Lin Fan say this publicly, even Tian Yuanzi's eyes darkened a few shades.

Di Yuanzi sneered, "Who do you want to invite as a witness?"

"How about Senior Bo Xuan, the Hall Master of the Darkness Hall in the Northern Xuan Region?" Lin Fan looked up slightly at the Void Realm above Qing Tan's head, as if asking Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi, and also as if asking Bo Xuan.

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked up at the sky, their hearts filled with shock.

The Hall Master of the Darkness Hall, had he come too?

Ying Xuanzi, Tian Yuanzi, and Di Yuanzi, the Reincarnation Realm experts, also had slight changes in their expressions.

"Master..."

Qing Tan suddenly looked up, her eyes revealing an expectant look.

Under the gaze of all, the space above Qing Tan's head suddenly split open. "Hehe, what an interesting and courageous little fellow," a hoarse laugh came from within the spatial rift.

Then, a black light whistled out from the spatial rift, transforming into a thin Black-Robed Elder wearing a black robe and a black crown.

The elder stood in the sky, but the sky instantly darkened. Any light disappeared above his head. That kind of darkness was so pure that it was terrifying.

"It really is Bo Xuan, the Hall Master of the Darkness Hall in the Northern Xuan Region!"

As soon as this Black-Robed Elder appeared, it immediately caused gasps of alarm throughout the world. Evidently, his reputation truly resounded across the heavens and earth.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the Darkness Hall Master to also grace the Eastern Xuan Region with his presence," Tian Yuanzi's pupils constricted slightly as he stared at the Black-Robed Elder, then he smiled faintly.

Although the Black-Robed Elder was also only in the Reincarnation Realm, he possessed the Darkness Ancestor Symbol, a power that was unfathomably strong, so even Tian Yuanzi was extremely wary.

"Master!"

Qing Tan's face lit up with joy as she called out to the elder.

"When are you coming back with me?" The Black-Robed Elder looked at Qing Tan and smiled.

"She's actually the Disciple of the Darkness Hall Master!"

The surrounding crowd was immediately astonished at this sight.

They hadn't expected Lin Fan's younger sister to have such an identity!

Qing Tan softly said, "After the matter here is settled, and you must guarantee the safety of my Brother Lin Fan."

Bo Xuan smiled and nodded, then looked in the direction of Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi, "Young Friend Lin Fan and the two Sect Masters have made an agreement, and they've asked this old man to be a witness. Do the two of you agree?"

Tian Yuanzi smiled faintly and said, "With the Hall Master as a witness, we naturally have no objections."

Bo Xuan said, "Since that's the case, if the two of you violate the agreement, then this old man will certainly not stand idly by."

Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi's expressions darkened slightly upon hearing this, but they said, "Since we have agreed to this pact, we naturally will not go back on our word."

Tian Yuanzi secretly thought to himself, the preparations for Demon Prison still need time, so let that boy live for three more years!

Once Demon Prison's preparations are complete, even if the Darkness Hall comes out in full force, they will have nothing to fear!

Di Yuanzi shifted his gaze to Lin Fan and said in a deep voice, "Now you can hand over Ren Yuanzi's Primordial Spirit, right?"

"Here you go," Lin Fan smiled slightly and threw Ren Yuanzi's Primordial Spirit out.

No one noticed that something extra had appeared deep within Ren Yuanzi's Primordial Spirit—it was the Spirit Control Talisman that Lin Fan had obtained from the lottery!

However, it would not have any effect on Ren Yuanzi for now. Once Lin Fan's Realm reached a certain level and he activated it, it would immediately produce miraculous effects.

"Hmph," Di Yuanzi took Ren Yuanzi's Primordial Spirit, snorted coldly, and extinguished the raging flames.

While the two sides were talking, although Ren Yuanzi's Primordial Spirit had not been destroyed by Lin Fan, it had been continuously suffering the torment of raging flames.

"Hall Master, we'll take our leave," Tian Yuanzi greeted Bo Xuan, gave Lin Fan a deep look, then tore open space and, along with Di Yuanzi, led the Yuan Gate crowd away.

"Thank you, Hall Master," after seeing Tian Yuanzi and the others leave, Lin Fan cupped his fists to Bo Xuan in a bow of gratitude.

Bo Xuan smiled and said, "I didn't really do anything."

Then, Bo Xuan looked at Qing Tan and said, "Let's go."

"Brother Lin Fan, Brother Lin Dong, and everyone, I'm returning to the Darkness Hall now," Qing Tan turned her head upon hearing this, somewhat reluctantly saying to Lin Fan and the others.

Lin Fan's figure flickered slightly, appearing beside Qing Tan. He ruffled her head and said,

"Take care of yourself. You don't need to worry about me; I'll handle everything."

At this moment, the System's familiar voice once again echoed in Lin Fan's mind. (End of Chapter)
