55: Heading to Danxian Pond, Yue Shan's killing intent!

When Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Qing Tan arrived at the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild, Xuan Su, Chief Manager and Xia Zhilan, Young Miss were already waiting at the entrance.

"Brother Lin Fan, Brother Lin Dong, and Sister Qing Tan, you're here!"

Seeing the three arrive, Xuan Su, Chief Manager immediately greeted them with a smile.

The servants of the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild, as well as the guests coming and going, were all somewhat surprised by this scene.

They subconsciously sized up Lin Fan and his siblings, while guessing their identities in their hearts.

"Chief Manager Su, you're too kind, we're almost embarrassed," Lin Fan replied with a chuckle.

Xuan Su, Chief Manager feigned anger and said, "I told you to just call me Sister Su. Why are you being so formal, Brother Lin Fan?"

"Alright, my mistake," Lin Fan shrugged slightly, not bothering to argue. "By the way, did that incident with Song Qing cause any trouble for the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild?"

Xuan Su, Chief Manager smiled slightly, "What trouble could there be? Song Qing didn't know his place, daring to provoke a Third-Level Spiritual Symbol Master. He should be grateful he only got injured."

"I personally went to the Song family and explained the entire situation to the Song family head. The Song family head even asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."

In reality, the Song family's good attitude was because Xuan Su, Chief Manager had informed the Song family head about Lin Fan annihilating the Bloodcloth Sect.

The Song family's strength was even inferior to the Bloodcloth Sect's, so how could they dare to seek trouble with Lin Fan again?

Lin Fan chuckled lightly and casually said, "Heh heh, that's good then. There's no need for an apology."

Lin Dong then asked, "Sister Su, when are we departing for the Danxian Pool?"

Lin Dong was quite looking forward to the Danxian Pool.

Xuan Su, Chief Manager smiled, "We've already arranged for horses to be prepared. Once they arrive, we'll depart immediately."

Xia Zhilan, Young Miss suddenly said to Lin Dong, "Don't get your hopes up too much. We'll try our best to win two matches, so you might not even need to participate."

"In that case, I won't have a chance to enter the Danxian Pool, right?" Lin Dong smiled, his tone calm.

"You got it right," a captivating smile appeared on Xia Zhilan, Young Miss's pretty face. Then, she suddenly looked towards the entrance and said, "Liu Yi is here, we can set off!"

Lin Fan and the others looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a horse team stopped at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild.

At the center of the crowd was a rather handsome young man.

"Let's go, it's time to depart," Xuan Su, Chief Manager said with a smile to Lin Fan and the two siblings, then stepped out towards the main gate.

Lin Fan and the others followed closely behind.

After exiting the gate, Xuan Su, Chief Manager introduced the two parties. The handsome young man was indeed Liu Yi, whom Xia Zhilan, Young Miss had mentioned.

He was also one of the three contestants sent by the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild this time, possessing the strength of the Late Stage Heavenly Yuan Realm.

Liu Yi's personality was quite good; he proactively greeted Lin Fan and the two siblings.

After some pleasantries, both sides mounted their horses and headed towards the location of the Danxian Pool.

While traveling, Xuan Su, Chief Manager introduced to Lin Fan and the two siblings, "Our destination is a deep mountain in the eastern part of Yan City, which will take about an hour to reach."

Lin Fan and the two siblings nodded slightly, indicating they understood.

The ownership of the Danxian Pool had never been resolved.

The Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild and the Blood Wolf Gang had both sent many people to guard it, preventing each other from occupying the Danxian Pool first.

After an hour of galloping, the horse team gradually slowed down.

This was because they had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Let's go, up the mountain. Everyone be careful, there are Yao Beasts in these mountains."

Xuan Su, Chief Manager was the first to dismount, reminding everyone, then quickly darted into the depths of the mountain.

Lin Fan and his siblings, following the main group, also circulated their Yuan Qi to their legs, keeping close behind. During the ascent, faint roars of beasts could occasionally be heard echoing from within the dense mountain forest.

However, they did not encounter any Yao Beast attacks until they reached the summit, which could be considered quite fortunate.

At this moment, two factions were already confronting each other on the mountaintop: people from the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild and the Blood Wolf Gang.

At the edge of the mountain, a steep rock wall rose into the sky.

Below the rock wall, a small, clear pool, only about a zhang in size, was particularly eye-catching.

The pool water was extremely mystical; half of it bubbled like boiling water, while the other half emanated an bone-chilling cold!

This small pool was their destination for this trip, the Danxian Pool!

Upon reaching the summit, Xuan Su, Chief Manager first introduced Lin Fan and the two siblings to Xia Wanjin.

After hearing Xuan Su, Chief Manager's introduction, Xia Wanjin's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "Hello, three young friends."

Lin Fan cupped his fists in a salute, smiling, "Lin Fan greets Chairman Xia."

Lin Dong and Qing Tan also followed suit, politely greeting Xia Wanjin.

Just as Xia Wanjin was about to say something, Yue Shan, the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, suddenly looked at Lin Fan with cold eyes, and the Aura of his Great Perfection Yuan Dan Realm pressed down on Lin Fan!

"You are Lin Fan? You are the one who annihilated the Bloodcloth Sect, a subsidiary force of my Blood Wolf Gang?"

From Yue Shan's body, Lin Fan felt considerable pressure. The three Symbol Seals in his Niwan Palace couldn't help but throb rapidly, releasing powerful Mental Energy to form a Mental Barrier in front of him.

After setting up the Mental Barrier, Lin Fan calmly said, "The Bloodcloth Sect brought it upon themselves; no one else is to blame!"

Xia Wanjin sensed Lin Fan's Mental Energy fluctuations, dispelling any doubts about his strength and further solidifying his resolve to win over Lin Fan. He immediately stepped forward, blocking Yue Shan's Aura for Lin Fan, and smiled:

"Gang Leader Yue, this matter has already been settled. The Bloodcloth Sect invaded the Lin family but was Counterattack; they can only blame their inferior strength."

"If the Blood Wolf Gang continues to pester over this matter, the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild and the Symbol Master Association will not stand idly by."

"Hmph! Do you really think my Blood Wolf Gang is afraid of you?" Yue Shan snorted coldly, gave Lin Fan a deep look, and then said,

"But for now, let's resolve the Danxian Pool matter first. If we delay any longer, the Danxian Pool's energy will dissipate!"

In reality, the Blood Wolf Gang was indeed afraid of the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild and the Symbol Master Association uniting.

Yue Shan was already plotting in his heart to find an opportunity to secretly eliminate Lin Fan!

As long as Lin Fan died, he didn't believe the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild and the Symbol Master Association would unite to avenge Lin Fan!

Lin Fan's Mental Energy was incredibly keen, so he naturally sensed Yue Shan's killing intent towards him.

However, Lin Fan wasn't worried.

In about two more months, it would be the Tower Duel of the Symbol Master Tower.

After the Tower Duel, Lin Fan believed that his Mental Energy cultivation, even if it couldn't Breakthrough to Four-Seal, would be very close.

Moreover, during this time, by consuming Spirit Pills purified from demon blood vermillion fruit, Lin Fan's Yuan Qi cultivation had also advanced rapidly, nearing Yuan Dan Lesser Perfection.

By then, the tables would have turned!

Xia Wanjin, however, didn't know that both Yue Shan and Lin Fan considered the other a dead man. Hearing Yue Shan's words, he immediately nodded and said, "Then let's begin!"

Liu Yi then approached Lin Dong and introduced the three opponents to him.

They were Yue Shan's children, Yue Feng and Yue Ling. As for the last external aid brought by the Blood Wolf Gang, they didn't really pay much attention to him.

"Enough talk, who's going first!"

While Liu Yi was speaking softly with Lin Dong, Yue Ling from the opposite side suddenly stepped forward two paces, holding a long red whip, and shouted loudly.

PS: The Tower Duel and Immortal Pool Competition were previously written as being half a month apart. In the original work, they were about two months apart. This has been corrected. This explanation is for old readers; overall, it does not affect the plot.
