312: Arriving at the Wuhui Island, invisible disputes! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Gu Yan’s expression stiffened upon hearing this, and she said with a bitter smile, “There are only three slots in total, and Young Master Lin Fan wants to take two of them. The Family won’t agree.”

“Heh heh, when I meet the person in your Gu Family who can make decisions, I’ll talk to him then,” Lin Fan said with a faint smile.

Gu Yan’s lips twisted slightly in bitterness upon hearing Lin Fan’s words. She regretted suggesting that Lin Fan be an external helper. Now, it seemed she was in a difficult position.

Lin Fan looked at Gu Yan’s expression and smiled, “Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you. Let’s go, we’ll first find your Gu Family elders to get the complete sea map you promised earlier.”

“Alright,” Gu Yan nodded, then added, “But I have to tell you in advance that the Chaotic Demon Sea is unimaginably vast, with even some unknown sea areas that haven’t been explored.”

“So, our so-called complete sea map only covers the explored areas. As for the unknown regions, perhaps only the Sea Demon Clan can explore them.”

Lin Fan nodded and said, “I know.”

“Then let’s set off now. We’ve been delayed here for over a month, and there’s only half a month left until the Martial Arts Tournament. Time is a bit tight.”

Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, “On the way, I’ll explain to you some information about the Martial Arts Tournament and the other four great Families.”

Lin Fan had no objections to this and immediately nodded.

Subsequently, under Gu Yan’s instructions, the surrounding Gu Family Disciples quickly dispersed to pack up the camp, and then the group headed out of Xuanling Island.

In a corner of Xuanling Island, a crimson giant ship, nearly a hundred zhang in size, stood proudly. Its hull was wrapped in crimson iron, making it appear exceptionally sturdy.

On the giant ship’s sail, a large character for ‘Gu’ fluttered in the wind. Clearly, this giant ship was the vessel Gu Yan and her group were traveling on.

The Chaotic Demon Sea was vast and boundless, with unpredictable weather.

Therefore, apart from those exceptionally powerful experts, most people still honestly relied on specially made giant ships to navigate the sea.

On this Gu Family ship, there were still quite a few Gu Family Disciples stationed.

Thus, when Lin Fan and Lin Dong followed Gu Yan and her group onto the ship, they also attracted some puzzled gazes.

“Young Miss Gu Yan,” a gray-clothed old man quickly approached Gu Yan after she boarded the ship, then respectfully clasped his fists and bowed.

“Uncle Qin, set sail for Wuhui Island,” Gu Yan nodded to him and then instructed.

“Yes,” the gray-clothed old man nodded, but his slightly shrewd gaze turned towards Lin Fan and Lin Dong behind Gu Yan.

Gu Yan said faintly, “They are Young Master Lin Fan and Young Master Lin Dong. We owe it to them that we were able to obtain the life profound spirit fruit this time.”

The gray-clothed old man smiled upon hearing this, “Thank you, Young Masters.”

Lin Fan smiled faintly, “It’s just a transaction, there’s no need for thanks.”

The gray-clothed old man paused, then said nothing more.

Before long, the massive crimson giant ship began to raise its sails, heading swiftly towards the depths of the ocean, facing the setting sun.

Above the vast and boundless sea, waves surged.

Giant waves, one after another, rolled in from the distance, finally crashing heavily against the hull, emitting deafening roars!

Lin Fan and Lin Dong stood side by side at the bow, their gazes fixed on the boundless horizon.

“Brother Lin Fan, that Primordial Aura is indeed quite mysterious,” Lin Dong said in a voice only Lin Fan could hear.

“Earlier, when I used my Devouring Power to refine that Primordial Aura, I didn’t expect it to activate the Stone Talisman. This is the first time the Stone Talisman has actively absorbed special energy. I think that Primordial Aura might be helpful for the Stone Talisman’s recovery.”

Lin Fan smiled, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems with the slot to enter the Honghuang Pagoda.”

After a month and a half of Cultivation, Lin Fan refined four drops of earth core life essence, and his Yuan Power Cultivation reached the Perfected Life Profound Realm.

His Yuan Power Cultivation alone was enough to pass the so-called Asura Mode and win the Martial Arts Tournament championship.

If the Gu Family didn’t agree, Lin Fan could still approach the Su Family or the Song Family among the five great Families.

If none of the Families agreed to the transaction, then Lin Fan would simply overturn the table!

With Lin Fan’s Mental Energy Cultivation at the Mahayana stage of an Immortal Symbol Master, coupled with his various super powerful methods, he wouldn’t fear facing the five great Families simultaneously!

What’s more, Lin Fan also had the powerful trump card of a Reincarnation Realm Devouring Corpse!

Lin Dong nodded upon hearing this, not saying much.

At this moment, Gu Yan walked over to the two of them, “Young Master Lin Fan, I’ll introduce you to the detailed situation of the Martial Arts Tournament, as well as information about opponents from the other four great Families.”

“Mm, thank you for your trouble,” Lin Fan smiled and nodded.

“The place we are going to this time is called Wuhui Island, which is also where the Honghuang Pagoda is located…”

Gu Yan quickly finished introducing the matters of Wuhui Island, then said, “The other four Families are all quite strong, and the younger generation also has many talented individuals.”

“Among them, the stronger opponents include Wei Zhen from the Wei Family, Su Yan from the Su Family, Song Chen from the Song Family, and the most troublesome one is Shen Tu Jue from the Shen Tu Family…”

When mentioning the name Shen Tu Jue, Gu Yan’s expression also became very solemn.

As Gu Yan introduced them, Lin Fan and Lin Dong also gained a general understanding of the situation of the four great Families.

Of course, there were also various rules regarding the Martial Arts Tournament.

Listening to Gu Yan’s introduction, Lin Dong’s expression appeared very solemn. The young generation experts of these four great Families had even reached the level of some older generation figures among the Eight Super Sects of the Eastern Xuan Region!

Lin Fan, however, didn’t take this to heart.

He just wanted to say that among the five great Families, there wasn’t a single one who could fight!

...After the ship had sailed on the sea for about ten days, Lin Fan could feel that the surrounding sea surface suddenly became lively.

Giant ships, one after another, roared in from all directions, finally converging towards the front. The sight of thousands of ships gathering was quite spectacular!

“Wuhui Island has arrived,” Gu Yan stood at the bow, looking at the vast land that appeared at the end of her vision, and a look of pleasant surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Lin Fan looked up, and all he saw was an extremely vast stretch of land.

This so-called island was clearly exceptionally large in area. Even with the ships gathered on the sea now, there was no sense of crowding.

“That’s the Gu Family’s ship…”

“Is that Gu Yan from the Gu Family at the bow? Heh heh, she’s quite a cold beauty!”

“It’s said that Gu Yuntian of the Gu Family was injured and can’t participate. This time, the Gu Family is probably in a lot of trouble!”

“…”

As the Gu Family’s ship approached Wuhui Island, many gazes were cast upon them from the surroundings, followed by whispers.

Gu Yan heard these whispers, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, then she waved her slender hand, and the ship swiftly headed towards their Gu Family’s exclusive dock.

There, many Gu Family guards were already waiting.

“Let’s go,” when the ship neared the dock, Gu Yan turned to Lin Fan and Lin Dong and said.

As her voice fell, Gu Yan’s delicate body moved, and she was the first to dart out, finally landing on the distant dock.

Behind Gu Yan, Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and the other Gu Family Disciples also leaped onto the dock one after another.

“Sister Gu Yan, you finally made it!”

As soon as Gu Yan landed, many young Gu Family Disciples crowded around her.

Gu Yan nodded to those Disciples, then looked at a middle-aged man in the crowd and said softly, “Uncle Gu Ling.”

Behind this middle-aged man was another very handsome man. At this moment, he was staring at Gu Yan with burning eyes, but the latter completely ignored him.

“Xiao Yan, this is Mo Tao, he’s the external helper we invited for our Gu Family this time,” Gu Ling said with a smile after finishing his conversation with Gu Yan, stepping aside slightly and pointing to the handsome man behind him.

“Young Miss Gu Yan, we meet again,” the man said with a rather graceful smile to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan’s face was expressionless as she glanced at Mo Tao, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly, then she pointed her slender finger at Lin Fan beside her and said, “Uncle Gu Ling, this is the external helper I invited this time, Lin Fan.”

Swish!

As soon as Gu Yan said this, Gu Ling and the surrounding Gu Family Disciples were stunned, all turning to look at Lin Fan.

And Mo Tao’s smile abruptly froze, his gaze shifting to Lin Fan, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes. (End of Chapter)
