488: Suppress and quell the riot! [Seeking follow-up reading]

At the same time, the two Grand Elders, like ghosts, rushed towards Qing Tan. It seemed they wanted to capture her first as a hostage.

“Om!”

Suddenly, the space in front of Qing Tan twisted, and two identical figures appeared silently, blocking her and the two Grand Elders.

The two figures were exactly like Lin Fan, and they were indeed Lin Fan's two Incarnations.

As soon as the two Incarnations appeared, they each met the attacks of the two Grand Elders.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Two muffled collision sounds rang out, and immediately after, the two Grand Elders were directly sent flying hundreds of meters away, spitting out mouthfuls of blood, their faces even paler.

“How is that possible?”

They looked at the figures opposite them, their faces full of surprise.

The onlookers on Black Stone Plaza also had shifting expressions.

The two Incarnations, however, did not give them a chance to be shocked and immediately launched a counterattack against the two Grand Elders.

Under their attacks, the two Grand Elders retreated steadily, directly beaten to the point where they had no power to retaliate.

On the other side, facing the incoming Scythe Spirit, Lin Fan’s body surged with vast Yuan Qi. In an instant, it condensed into a giant thunderous hand, which slammed out!

“Boom!”

Two terrifying energy palm prints collided, and the sky seemed to tremble along with them.

On the Black Stone Plaza below, terrifying cracks were directly shaken out, spreading in all directions.

Bang bang bang!

Explosions continuously echoed in the air. Lin Fan and the light figure were both shaken back repeatedly.

After Lin Fan stabilized his body, without any hesitation, his hands changed, quickly forming mysterious hand seals.

“Go!”

Lin Fan lightly shouted, and a white light seal shot out from his hand, directly towards the Scythe Spirit.

Before the Scythe Spirit could react, the gentle, mysterious light seal drilled into the Scythe Spirit's glabella.

“Buzz buzz!”

As the gentle, mysterious light seal shot in, the Scythe Spirit’s body suddenly trembled slightly, and streaks of white light burst out from within it.

As these white lights surged, black patterns appeared on the Scythe Spirit’s chest.

These black light patterns, under the illumination of the gentle white light, melted away at an astonishing speed.

The two Grand Elders, already severely injured and pale from being beaten by Lin Fan’s two Incarnations, had their expressions drastically change upon seeing this scene.

Because those black patterns were the incantations they used to control the Scythe Spirit, but now, with the incantation forced out of the Scythe Spirit’s body by Lin Fan, they no longer had any reliance!

“Oh no!”

Their faces filled with dread, they hastily tried to activate the incantation.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Distracted for a moment, the two already severely injured individuals were once again slammed into the ground by Lin Fan’s two Incarnations.

“Crack!”

At the same time, a faint cracking sound echoed in the sky.

Those runes quickly dissipated completely.

And at the moment the incantation dissipated, the two Grand Elders also completely lost control over the Scythe Spirit.

Lin Fan’s hand seals changed, and several more light seals fell upon the Scythe Spirit’s body. Then, his body burst out with dazzling light. As the light condensed, it finally transformed into a black bead under the gaze of countless eyes.

Lin Fan beckoned, drawing the black bead into his hand, then tossed it to Qing Tan, “Qing Tan, put it into the Dark Sacred Scythe. This way, your Dark Sacred Scythe will be complete.”

“Mhm mhm,” Qing Tan nodded happily. As she waved the Dark Sacred Scythe in her hand, a black light burst forth. The light enveloped the black bead, drawing it into the scythe’s body.

Afterward, the Dark Sacred Scythe immediately vibrated with a buzzing sound, and astonishing fluctuations erupted from within it. The massive Dark Sacred Scythe’s size even expanded by a full circle.

The somewhat petite Qing Tan, holding the enormous Dark Sacred Scythe, presented a peculiar aesthetic beauty.

At this moment, the Elders of the Elder Council in the plaza all had ashen faces.

Especially the Grand Elder, his body couldn’t help but tremble, and he staggered back a few steps.

The two Grand Elders were all suppressed, and the Scythe Spirit of the Dark Sacred Scythe was also taken away. They no longer had any confidence to contend with Brother Lin Fan and his sister.

On Black Stone Plaza, the various forces' people also stirred upon seeing this scene.

At this point, everyone clearly understood that the Elder Council’s forced abdication had completely failed!

On the altar, Qing Tan’s small hand gripped the Dark Sacred Scythe tightly. With a gentle wave, a black light swept across, and the Ancestor Tablet in mid-air slowly dissipated.

With the dissipation of the Ancestor Tablet, the suppression on the Darkness Ancestral Symbol also completely vanished, and the entire sky slowly turned dark at this moment.

Looking at the two old men lying on the ground like dead dogs, Qing Tan’s voice was bone-chillingly cold,

“Two Grand Elders, you privately hid the Scythe Spirit. Do you now know your crime?”

Hearing Qing Tan’s cold voice, the bodies of the two Grand Elders trembled.

Just as the two were about to speak, they saw Lin Fan in the sky descend to Qing Tan’s side, staring at them with indifferent eyes.

Seeing an Incarnation of Lin Fan beside each of them, glaring menacingly, the two completely resigned themselves to their fate,

“Today’s matter is due to us two old men being deluded and making a grave mistake. We hope the Hall Master will show leniency!”

“Plop!”

Seeing that both Grand Elders had confessed, the numerous Elders from the Elder Council immediately knelt down, their faces full of remorse,

“Hall Master, we were also coerced by the Grand Elder, which led to today’s actions. We ask the Hall Master to show leniency!”

The Grand Elder watched this scene, his face turning ashen, his body trembling uncontrollably from fear.

“Hall Master, this matter is too far-reaching. If everyone is severely punished, it may be greatly detrimental to our Darkness Hall,” the two Black-robed Old Man who had initially supported Qing Tan whispered, seeing this scene, as they advised.

Qing Tan nodded slightly, then with a wave of her small hand, dozens of black light runes flashed out, sweeping across the sky and appearing before the two Grand Elders and the numerous Elders. Intense black light flickered on the runes.

“All Elders, your forced abdication today is a capital offense, but considering your contributions to this Hall, I will spare your lives!”

Qing Tan looked at the Elders, speaking coldly,

“However, while the death penalty can be avoided, the living penalty cannot escape. This is our Darkness Hall’s Dark Sacred Symbol. If you wish to save your lives, then consume it.”

Upon hearing this, the Elders’ expressions all changed. They knew very well that once they swallowed the Dark Sacred Symbol, their lives would be completely controlled by Qing Tan.

But at this point, they had no room for resistance.

After a period of internal struggle, the two Grand Elders took the lead, being the first to consume the Dark Sacred Symbol. The other Elders followed closely, not daring to hesitate.

In the end, everyone suddenly discovered that one Dark Sacred Symbol was missing.

Qing Tan’s cold gaze fell upon the Grand Elder, and she said coldly, “Others may be excused, but this mastermind is truly beyond escaping the death penalty. Elders, why aren’t you apprehending him?”

Upon hearing this, the people on Black Stone Plaza all had shifting expressions.

The Grand Elder’s heart trembled even more, filled with both shock and anger. (End of Chapter)
