485: Dark Temple, Festival Day! [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Lin Fan indifferently glanced at the offensive, then calmly walked towards the two Black-robed Old Man.

“Bang bang bang!”

As the attacks approached within a few feet of Lin Fan, just as they were about to land on his body, they suddenly solidified.

Then, Chen Kui and the Black-robed Old Man, among others, watched in horror as the people attacking Lin Fan exploded into a mist of blood!

As the blood mist dispersed, Lin Fan's figure arrived before the two Black-robed Old Man, his expression still unperturbed.

The two Black-robed Old Man looked at Lin Fan's calm face, but a bone-chilling coldness couldn't help but rise in their hearts.

“You want to kill me? You should just do it yourselves,” Lin Fan said with a faint smile.

“You… just who are you?” The two Black-robed Old Man looked at Lin Fan with a mix of surprise and uncertainty, asking in a deep voice.

Lin Fan slightly shook his head, “Since you won't make a move, then I won't be polite.”

As his voice fell, Lin Fan's ten fingers flickered, and in an instant, countless dazzling spatial blades appeared out of thin air, enveloping the two Black-robed Old Man!

Within that brilliance, however, was an endless killing intent!

“Chichi chi!”

The two hadn't even reacted when the dazzling spatial blades had already fallen upon them, instantly slicing them into fragments. Even their Primordial Spirits were annihilated on the spot!

Chen Kui, Mu Sha, and the others behind them, seeing this scene, were all dumbfounded and couldn't help but gasp.

Those two Black-robed Old Man were two Elders of the Darkness Hall, considered top-tier experts even within their Darkness Hall.

Yet, in Lin Fan's hands, they were so easily eliminated. This Lin Fan was too strong, wasn't he?

Among these people, Chen Kui's shock was clearly the most intense.

Three years ago, Chen Kui had met Lin Fan. At that time, Lin Fan's strength, while not weak, was only slightly stronger than his, and certainly incomparable to those two Elders.

After only three short years, Lin Fan's strength had become terrifying enough to easily kill two Darkness Hall Elders. This speed of advancement was a bit too fast!

After the initial shock, Chen Kui stepped forward, cupped his fist at Lin Fan, and said with a complex expression, “Brother Lin Fan, we meet again. I didn't expect that after only three short years, you would have become this strong.”

“Just some fortuitous encounters,” Lin Fan smiled, then said, “What happened to you all?”

Chen Kui heard this, was silent for a moment, and then recounted everything that had happened recently in the Darkness Hall to Lin Fan.

Chen Kui knew the relationship between Lin Fan and Qing Tan. Since Lin Fan was so strong, he could bring Lin Fan to help Qing Tan deal with the rebels.

Therefore, Chen Kui naturally wouldn't hide anything about the Darkness Hall's affairs.

“If my guess is correct, they are planning to completely force her hand at the upcoming ceremony in three days, forcing Qing Tan to hand over the position of Hall Master and the Darkness Ancestral Symbol... Qing Tan has been forced into a corner by them.”

Finally, Chen Kui said with a somewhat grim expression.

Lin Fan's expression seemed normal upon hearing this, he just said indifferently, “Brother Chen Kui, take me to the Darkness Hall!”

...The Northern Xuan Region did not have as many Dynasties as the Eastern Xuan Region. Most of the territory here was governed by the branch halls established by the Darkness Hall.

And each branch hall master was like the emperor of a Dynasty, with an extremely complex hierarchy of officials beneath him. From this point, the dominance of the Darkness Hall was clearly a notch higher than that of the Eastern Xuan Region.

With Lin Fan's current formidable strength, even though he was taking Chen Kui and the others, their speed was still extremely fast.

On the morning of the third day, they had already arrived at the outskirts of Darkness City, where the Darkness Hall was located.

Darkness City was an enormous city with no visible end, like an ancient beast with half its body lurking deep underground, quietly prostrate.

The city was entirely dark, giving a sense of solemnity and weight.

Above the city, a colossal dark light barrier enveloped it, encasing the entire city.

Upon the light barrier, countless runes flowed, and an indescribable vast fluctuation permeated, directly causing the space to show signs of distortion.

At this moment, at the colossal city gate, streams of people slowly poured in, the sheer number of people astonishing.

“The ceremony is a grand event that our Darkness Hall holds once every three years. At this time, all the major and minor forces in the Northern Xuan Region must come to pay homage. If anyone dares not to come, the Darkness Tribunal will probably come looking for them the next day to punish them!”

Chen Kui looked at the vast crowd outside the city and said to Lin Fan, “Today is the day of the ceremony, so all these people are going to attend the ceremony.”

Lin Fan nodded slightly, indicating he understood, “Let's go, I'd like to witness your Darkness Hall's grand ceremony myself.”

“Brother Lin Fan, due to the ceremony, Darkness City's defenses will be very strict. With the Hall Master constrained, those Elders must have control over all the forces in the city. If we enter through the city gate, we might be discovered,” Chen Kui said with some worry.

“It's fine, I have my own way,” Lin Fan said with a faint smile, casually, “You come with me into the city, the others stay outside.”

Mu Sha heard Lin Fan's words and quickly said, “Big Brother Lin Fan, Big Brother Chen Kui, let me go in with you.”

Chen Kui didn't reply, but looked at Lin Fan.

“Let's go,” Lin Fan waved his sleeve, and a faint silver light emanated from his hand, enveloping the three of them. Immediately after, the surrounding space slowly twisted, and the three of them disappeared into thin air.

Chen Kui and Mu Sha only felt a dizzy spell in their minds. When they recovered, they heard a sudden burst of earth-shattering clamor.

The two opened their eyes and looked around, finding themselves already in the sky above Darkness City. In the distance behind them, the black light barrier still enveloped the city, showing no reaction.

“Truly amazing!”

Chen Kui exclaimed in admiration, full of respect for Lin Fan.

As a member of the Darkness Hall with a not-low status, Chen Kui naturally knew the power of this Formation, but Lin Fan could come and go freely. Such a method was truly terrifying.

“Just a small trick,” Lin Fan said with a smile.

Lin Fan and the two others looked into the distance, towards the center of Darkness City, only to see countless dark lights rising into the sky there, like a grand fireworks display.

Looking at those dark lights, Chen Kui's expression immediately became solemn, and he whispered, “Brother Lin Fan, the ceremony has begun!”

Lin Fan nodded slightly, it seemed they had arrived just in time. (End of Chapter)
