459: Return! [Seeking follow-up reading]

“I say, do you really have to Cultivate with such a dangerous item? You know how terrifying this thing is; even my father couldn't handle it, and you…”

After giving the Eternal Illusion Demon Flower to Lin Dong, Xiao Diao was a bit worried, looking as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.

Lin Dong smiled, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything foolish.”

“I told my father about you wanting to go into seclusion with these Eternal Illusion Demon Flowers. He said to go to the Heavenly Cave for your seclusion, and he would personally lead the Elders to guard you. If anything goes wrong, he will step in to save you,” Xiao Diao said.

“Then please convey my thanks to the Clan Chief,” Lin Dong was surprised, but he didn't refuse.

Although he didn't say it too clearly, Lin Dong could feel that using a dangerous item like the Eternal Illusion Demon Flower to achieve a Mental Energy Breakthrough would inevitably involve considerable risk. If the Sky Demon Mink Clan Chief helped, it might provide an extra layer of security.

“You’ve helped our Sky Demon Mink Clan so much; everyone in the clan is very grateful to you. This little bit of help is nothing.”

Xiao Diao waved his hand and said, “When do you plan to go into seclusion?”

“Now,” Lin Dong thought for a moment and replied.

Lin Fan smiled from the side, “You are quite impatient. Since you've decided to Cultivate in seclusion here, I’ll return to the Four Symbols Palace alone first.”

“Although the Four Symbols Palace defeated Mang Mountain earlier and its prestige greatly increased, with only Xiao Yan there, it's still not safe enough. I’ll go back to guard it first. You can return directly after you come out of seclusion.”

Xiao Diao smiled at this time, “I’ll send some people back with you. The name of the Sky Demon Mink Clan can at least save you some trouble.”

Lin Fan nodded slightly, having no objections to this.

“Brother Lin Fan, then I’ll trouble you with the Four Symbols Palace,” Lin Dong said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Lin Fan smiled, “Don’t forget, I am the Great Leader of the Four Symbols Palace.”

Lin Dong smiled and said no more.

Next, Xiao Diao led Lin Fan and Lin Dong together towards the Heavenly Cave.

The guards here were now even more stringent, and here, Lin Fan also saw the Sky Demon Mink Clan Chief and Grand Elder Zhu Li, Grand Elder and others waiting.

Seeing Lin Fan and Lin Dong arrive, Zhu Li, Grand Elder and the others proactively greeted them.

“Little friend Lin Dong, the Heavenly Cave has been thoroughly inspected, and there will definitely be no hidden dangers. You can Cultivate in seclusion with peace of mind inside,” after the pleasantries, the Sky Demon Mink Clan Chief smiled upon seeing Lin Dong appear.

“Thank you, Clan Chief,” Lin Dong clasped his fists and smiled.

“It’s nothing. Let Xiao Diao lead you in. We will guard you inside and outside the Heavenly Cave,” the Sky Demon Mink Clan Chief waved his hand and said.

Lin Dong nodded to Lin Fan, said no more, exchanged glances with Xiao Diao, and then directly swept into the Heavenly Cave.

After Xiao Diao led Lin Dong into the Heavenly Cave, Lin Fan also bid farewell to the Sky Demon Mink Clan Chief.

The Sky Demon Mink Clan Chief and Grand Elder Zhu Li, Grand Elder tried to persuade him to stay for a while, but seeing that Lin Fan was determined to leave, they sent him to the Sky Demon Mink Clan’s exit and dispatched two Reincarnation Realm experts from the Sky Demon Mink Clan to accompany him.

Lin Fan, with the two Reincarnation Realm experts from the Sky Demon Mink Clan, wasted no time and immediately returned to Thunder Abyss Mountain, the headquarters of the Four Symbols Palace.

Two days later, the group of three arrived at Thunder Abyss Mountain.

“Greetings, Great Leader!”

The Four Symbols Palace experts guarding halfway up the mountain were initially worried when they sensed the arrival of Reincarnation experts, but upon recognizing Lin Fan, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Fan nodded casually and led the two Sky Demon Mink Clan experts directly to the Peak of Thunder Abyss Mountain.

“Big Brother, you’re back!”

Xiao Yan sensed Lin Fan’s aura and proactively came out to greet him, a look of joy on his face.

Lin Fan nodded slightly, “Yes. There haven’t been any unexpected situations at the Four Symbols Palace recently, have there?”

“No,” Xiao Yan shook his head, then added, “Big Brother, why didn’t Second Brother come back with you?”

Xiao Yan didn't see Lin Dong's figure, which made him a little worried.

Lin Fan smiled, “Don’t worry, Lin Dong is safe. He got some good things in the Sky Demon Mink Clan and is currently in seclusion to improve his strength. He will naturally return after he comes out of seclusion.”

“So that’s it,” Xiao Yan immediately put down his worries upon hearing Lin Fan’s words.

Lin Fan smiled, “Let me introduce you. These two were sent by your Third Brother’s father to help us guard the Four Symbols Palace. Zhu Qing and Wu He, they are both Reincarnation Realm experts.”

Xiao Yan heard this and clasped his fists to Zhu Qing and Wu He, saying, “Lin Yan greets the two of you.”

“We wouldn’t dare,” the two quickly returned the greeting, speaking courteously.

They knew that this Lin Yan was also one of Xiao Diao’s brothers.

Now, Xiao Diao had officially become the Sky Demon Mink Clan Chief’s successor; in the future, the Sky Demon Mink Clan Chief would undoubtedly be him.

Facing the brother of the future Clan Chief, they naturally dared not be negligent.

“Xiao Yan, please arrange accommodation for the two brothers,” after they had all met, Lin Fan said to Xiao Yan.

This work is organized and uploaded by 69Shuba~~

Xiao Yan nodded and personally took the two to arrange their accommodation.

When the people of the Four Symbols Palace learned that the Sky Demon Mink Clan had actually sent two Reincarnation experts to guard the Four Symbols Palace, their sense of belonging to the Four Symbols Palace immediately grew stronger, and a faint sense of pride arose in their hearts.

And other forces, upon hearing this news, paid even more attention to the Four Symbols Palace.

Lin Fan, however, didn't pay attention to these things.

After returning to the Four Symbols Palace, Lin Fan merely handed the two Reincarnation experts from the Sky Demon Mink Clan over to Xiao Yan, and then he fully immersed himself in Cultivation.

However, what made Lin Fan a little regretful was that the progress of his Cultivation was not very ideal.

Whether in terms of Mental Energy or Yuan Power, he hadn't made a Breakthrough for long, and wanting to advance further was an extraordinary challenge.

Perfect Death Profound Realm, seemingly only one step away from the Reincarnation Realm, but this step was like a chasm.

Many people remained stuck at the Perfect Death Profound Realm their entire lives, unable to advance further.

And the Mental Energy Breakthrough from Minor Symbol Grandmaster to Grand Symbol Master was equivalent to going from the Reincarnation Realm to the Samsara Realm, making the difficulty even more exaggerated.

During Lin Fan's Cultivation, more than two months passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Lin Fan, feeling a bit tired from Cultivating, directly ended his Cultivation and decided to go out for some fresh air.

“Hmm?”

Just as he walked out of his seclusion area, Lin Fan suddenly raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

On Thunder Abyss Mountain, there were suddenly two unfamiliar Reincarnation expert auras.

After a slight ponder, Lin Fan stepped towards the main hall at the Peak of Thunder Abyss Mountain.

Inside the main hall, many people were gathered at this moment. Not only were the high-ranking members of the Four Symbols Palace present, but even Xiao Yan, Demon Commander Tianlong, and Demon Commander Golden Ape were all assembled.

Besides them, there were also two unfamiliar faces that Lin Fan had never seen before.

“Big Brother!”

“Great Leader!”

Seeing Lin Fan appear, Xiao Yan and Demon Commander Tianlong and the others immediately stood up and saluted. (End of this chapter)
