388: The shock of Master Moro and his disciples! [Seeking follow-up reading]
Mo Luo said, "Not long ago, the Nine Serenity Gate Master, Old Monster Nine Serenities, appeared on the edge of the Sea of Flames. His goal was to ambush and kill you, but I taught him a lesson and drove him away."
"Old Monster Nine Serenities?" Lin Fan's eyebrows twitched slightly, then he cupped his fists and said, "I really must thank Senior Mo Luo."
Mu Lingshan, who was beside him, blinked her eyes and said, "It's just Old Monster Nine Serenities, what's there to be afraid of? Even if you hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have been able to ambush us."
Tang Xinlian's beautiful eyebrows raised, and she said, "That Old Monster Nine Serenities is a Reincarnation Realm expert. Although your three's strength is good, compared to a Reincarnation Realm expert, there's still quite a gap, isn't there?"
Mu Lingshan said somewhat proudly, "Brother Lin Fan has killed Reincarnation Realm experts before."
Hearing Mu Lingshan's words, Tang Xinlian immediately shifted her gaze to Lin Fan, her expression showing a hint of suspicion.
Even Mo Luo, hearing this news, was quite surprised, "Lin Fan, have you really killed a Reincarnation Realm expert?"
"When we went to the Thunder Sea Region, we were pursued by Wu Xuan, the master of Evil Wind Cave. At the time, he might have underestimated me, and then I killed him," Lin Fan said, touching his nose.
"Wu Xuan was really killed by you?" Tang Xinlian's beautiful eyes widened upon hearing this, her expression greatly shaken.
Some time ago, the death of Wu Xuan, the master of Evil Wind Cave, also caused quite a stir in the Chaotic Demon Sea.
Initially, some suspected that Wu Xuan's death might be related to Lin Fan, but this was quickly dismissed.
After all, at that time, Lin Fan was only at Perfected Life Profound Realm, while Wu Xuan was a super expert of the Reincarnation Realm!
Tang Xinlian never expected that such an absurd-sounding piece of news would actually be true.
Mu Lingshan put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and said, "Of course it's true! My Third Grandfather also witnessed it at the time. If you don't believe me, go ask my Third Grandfather in the Undying Holy Whale Clan."
Hearing Mu Lingshan's words, Mo Luo and Tang Xinlian no longer had any doubts.
Tang Xinlian's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Lin Fan, as if looking at some kind of monster.
Mo Luo looked deeply at Lin Fan and smiled, "It seems you, fellow, have hidden yourself even deeper than I imagined!"
Although Lin Fan said that Wu Xuan underestimated him, which was why he was killed.
But even so, the news that someone at Perfected Life Profound Realm could kill a Reincarnation Realm expert, if it were to spread, would absolutely cause the entire Chaotic Demon Sea to completely boil over!
Lin Fan chuckled dryly, "When walking outside, one must always keep a few trump cards."
"Is this 'a few' you've hidden?" Tang Xinlian rolled her beautiful eyes and said.
Lin Fan shrugged, not saying much.
At this moment, Lin Dong, who was nearby, shifted his gaze and suddenly asked, "Senior Mo Luo just mentioned Senior Qing Zhi, will he also be coming here?"
"Mm," Mo Luo nodded, then continued, "However, he hasn't arrived yet. This plan is quite important, and we need to be as thorough as possible. You've come this time because you want to take away that Thunder Origin, haven't you?"
Lin Dong nodded awkwardly and said, "Senior Mo Luo, don't worry, I will follow the rules. I will at least wait until the competition is over before I take away that Thunder Origin."
"Following the rules means you have to become the champion to take away that Thunder Origin," Mo Luo laughed loudly, then mused, "Actually, the reason I called you all here this time is to talk to you about this matter."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "What does Senior Mo Luo mean?"
"You brothers are aware of this plan. Before we draw out the truly heavy-hitting Yimo, I don't want the authenticity of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol to be exposed," Mo Luo said slowly.
Lin Dong's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "How does Senior Mo Luo plan to proceed?"
Lin Dong was a little worried that Mo Luo would ask him to take out the real Thunder Ancestor Symbol as bait.
"According to the intelligence we've gathered, the Yimo won't easily show themselves. They might hide within human bodies, then participate in the competition legitimately, win the championship, and obtain the Thunder Ancestor Symbol," Mo Luo said with a serious expression.
"What Senior Mo Luo is talking about should be the Demonic Seed, right?" Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "Back on Tian Lei Island, those three fellows from Yuan Gate had Demonic Seeds hidden within them."
"At crucial moments, they can activate the power of the Yimo, enhancing their strength."
"Demonic Seed, huh... It seems my sensing at the time was indeed correct," Mo Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured.
At that time, in the Thunder Mansion, he felt an uncomfortable Qi from Huo Yuan and the other two, but his main focus at that time was on the Thunder Ancestor Symbol, and Huo Yuan and the other two behaved very honestly in front of him, so he didn't investigate further.
After a pause, Mo Luo continued, "Just as you said, among the experts participating this time, I'm afraid some will have Demonic Seeds lurking within their bodies."
"There are too many experts participating this time, and we cannot screen them too carefully. If someone with a Demonic Seed becomes the champion, and the authenticity of the Thunder Ancestor Symbol is exposed, our plan will also be aborted."
"Therefore, we must ensure that a normal human wins the championship, thereby forcing the Yimo hiding in the shadows to reveal themselves and snatch it."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Miss Tang, as the second on the New Talent Rankings, should have a good chance of winning the championship."
"Xinlian does have the qualifications to contend for the championship, but it's not foolproof," Mo Luo slowly shook his head and said.
Tang Xinlian, who was beside him, moved her lips upon hearing this, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged glances, then said, "Senior Mo Luo, are you suspecting that Xu Xiu, the first on the New Talent Rankings, has a problem?"
"Indeed," Mo Luo nodded slightly, then said, "Originally, I was a bit worried, but since you can even kill a Reincarnation Realm expert, then winning this championship will certainly not be a problem."
Tang Xinlian's beautiful eyes stared at Lin Fan for a while, her expression appearing somewhat complex.
Although she was somewhat competitive, she also knew how to prioritize the bigger picture.
Especially when it came to matters involving the Yimo, Tang Xinlian would certainly not act childishly.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "No problem, I will take care of Xu Xiu at that time."
Mo Luo heard this, smiled and nodded, then he patted the back of his chair, hesitated slightly, and said:
"Additionally, according to the intelligence I've received, in this competition, you not only need to pay attention to Xu Xiu, but also to another person..."
"Who?" Tang Xinlian looked up at Mo Luo and asked curiously.
"Someone from Yuan Gate in the Eastern Xuan Region, named Hua Chen," Mo Luo said slowly, his eyes grave.
Upon hearing this name, Lin Dong's pupils suddenly constricted.
Lin Fan, however, had long expected this and didn't feel surprised, smiling slightly, he said, "Just right, Miss Tang and I will each take care of one. These Yuan Gate people are old rivals of us brothers!" (End of Chapter)
