389: The Thunder Contest begins! [Seeking follow-up reading]

“First it was Huo Yuan and those two, and now Hua Chen has appeared. It seems Yuan Gate is deeply entangled with the Yimo,” Lin Fan murmured, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if speaking casually.

“This Sect is indeed a bit strange…” Mo Luo’s voice was somewhat low; he clearly had quite a bit of information.

“However, the unfortunate thing is that Yuan Gate is not in the Chaotic Demon Sea, and it’s difficult for my Flame God Hall to extend its reach to the Eastern Xuan Region. Some Super Sects there are not to be underestimated.”

Lin Fan smiled, “There’s no rush with Yuan Gate’s matters. Let’s remove their ‘nail’ first.”

“Don’t be careless,” Mo Luo said seriously, looking at Lin Fan and Tang Xinlian.

“Although I don’t know much about this person, since Yuan Gate sent him to compete for the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, his abilities surely won’t be too weak. Especially some of the Yimo’s methods are extremely bizarre and unpredictable. You two must be careful of him.”

“Understood,” Lin Fan nodded slightly, responding softly.

“The Championship will begin in five days. During this time, Lin Fan, the three of you will stay in Fire Flame City. If anything happens, find Xinlian,” Mo Luo said, relaxing after the serious talk, and added with a smile,

“The law enforcement team of this city is managed by Xinlian. You’d better not cause too much trouble, or it won’t be pleasant if you fall into her hands.”

Lin Fan smiled, “Miss Tang is truly a heroine who rivals men.”

Tang Xinlian glanced at Lin Fan with her beautiful eyes and said indifferently, “I will not bend the law for personal gain. In the Flame God Hall’s jurisdiction, no matter who it is, they must follow the rules.”

“As long as others don’t provoke me, I won’t proactively cause trouble,” Lin Fan shrugged.

A charming smile suddenly appeared on Tang Xinlian’s pretty face. She patted Lin Fan’s shoulder with her slender hand and said with a chuckle, “If you stay honestly by my side, I guarantee no one in this Yan City will dare to provoke you.”

As her words fell, Tang Xinlian tossed her fiery red hair and turned to leave gracefully. Her captivating silhouette appeared particularly domineering.

Lin Fan watched Tang Xinlian’s departing figure and couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.

“Haha,” Mo Luo laughed loudly, teasing, “How about it? Isn’t my chief Disciple formidable? I see that you two are not far apart in age, so why not get together? Although you, boy, hide your true depth well, Xinlian is no ordinary woman; she’s good enough for you.”

Lin Fan stroked his chin, smiling, “I have no objections. I’ll go now and convey Senior Mo Luo’s intentions to Miss Tang.”

With that, Lin Fan walked directly out of the hall.

Lin Dong and Mu Lingshan bid farewell to Mo Luo and quickly followed.

“Hey, you boy, don’t talk nonsense!” Mo Luo saw this and revealed a wry smile, shouting at Lin Fan’s retreating figure.

Mo Luo was a bit worried that if Tang Xinlian found out he was playing matchmaker, she would come looking for trouble… When the three of them walked out of the main hall, they saw the previously domineering Tang Xinlian sitting on the stone steps, her fiery red hair cascading down with gentle waves, looking quite captivating.

Around the main hall, there were many fully armored figures, but as they passed by that fiery red figure, their steps involuntarily slowed, and through their armor, one could see gazes of longing.

“Come and sit,” Tang Xinlian casually waved her jade hand, and her melodious voice reached Lin Fan’s ears.

Lin Fan smiled at her words, stepped forward, and sat down beside her.

At this moment, the heroic spirit on Tang Xinlian was a bit weaker, replaced by a rare softness. This temperament, appearing on her, made people feel a sense of longing.

“Master’s plan this time is very dangerous… those Yimo are very powerful,” Tang Xinlian gently brushed her hair with her jade hand, whispering.

Lin Fan nodded slightly and said, “The Yimo are indeed not weak, but this time, they shouldn’t come out in full force. Senior Mo Luo’s plan will surely succeed.”

“Those damned creatures… they should really be completely eradicated,” Tang Xinlian murmured.

Then, she told Lin Fan about her Family being annihilated by the Yimo.

After finishing, Tang Xinlian said with a firm tone, “No matter what, I will protect the Flame God Hall. If those Yimo dare to destroy it, I will not hesitate to perish with them!”

Lin Fan patted Tang Xinlian’s shoulder and smiled at her, “Don’t worry, those damned things will be completely annihilated sooner or later!”

Just as Lin Fan spoke, the familiar voice of the System once again rang in his mind.

【Ding! You touched Tang Xinlian and received one Death Spirit Fruit! Note: This spirit fruit is born in places where Death Qi gathers and contains extreme Death Qi!】

Death Spirit Fruit?

Contains extreme Death Qi!

This happens to be just right for me to use now!

Hearing the System’s reward content, Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel a slight joy in his heart.

This spirit fruit was somewhat similar to the deathly still pill, but the Death Qi energy it contained was clearly more vast.

He just didn’t know how much his cultivation would improve after refining this Death Spirit Fruit.

At this moment, Tang Xinlian heard Lin Fan’s words, nodded heavily, then chuckled softly, patted Lin Fan’s shoulder, and rose elegantly to leave, her melodious laughter following her.

“If you encounter trouble in this Fire Flame City, just mention my name… Also, a pleasant cooperation in the Championship.”

Lin Fan withdrew his thoughts from the System, looked at the girl who had regained her heroic demeanor, and also smiled, slowly nodding… Five days passed in a flash.

When the fiery red sun, like a ball of fire, broke free from the sea’s embrace, casting its warm and scorching sunlight upon this vast sea region,

that enormous city, resembling a coiling Fire Dragon, also erupted with astonishing fervor at that very moment.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Countless streaks of rainbow light streaked across the sky at this moment, rising from Fire Flame City and within a thousand miles of its vicinity with an overwhelming and magnificent momentum, then whistling across the sky, converging towards the central location of Fire Flame City.

Today, the Championship begins, and this Championship is arguably the grandest event in the Chaotic Demon Sea in decades. The sheer scale of it makes one’s blood boil just thinking about it.

On a pavilion near the city center, Lin Fan, Lin Dong, Mu Lingshan, Gu Mengqi, and others were all gathered together.

Their gazes were directed at a magnificent and grand palace complex not far away, which was the headquarters of the Flame God Hall. Faintly, numerous powerful auras emanated from within it.

And the sky around this palace complex was now occupied by a dense sea of people. The deafening clamor spread, even shaking away the clouds in the sky.

Under the gaze of many, Tang Xinlian appeared with a thousand Flame God Guards, and then another towering red light swept out.

Within that red light, a tall man wearing a crimson cloak, emanating an aura of authority without anger, appeared out of thin air. It was none other than Mo Luo, the Hall Master of the Flame God Hall!

The moment Mo Luo appeared, the clamor between heaven and earth instantly vanished. Everyone looked at his figure, their eyes filled with awe.

Mo Luo, treading on a Sea of Fire, his crimson gaze sweeping across the world, meticulously announced the specific rules of this Thunder Battle Competition, and finally declared in a loud voice:

“Now, I announce that the Thunder Battle Competition has begun!” (End of Chapter)
