82: The woman I slept with must be mine!

Lin Fan turned to look at Lin Langtian, and smiled, "What? The Wang Clan has given up on competing for the Spirit Treasure, and you still want to stick your neck out and force us to hand the Spirit Treasure over to the Wang Clan?"

Lin Keer and the others from the Lin Clan heard Lin Fan's words, and their gazes towards Lin Langtian also changed slightly.

Even if they looked down on those from the branch family, at most, they would just avoid interacting with them.

Why would they repeatedly force those from the branch family to hand over the Spirit Treasure they had obtained, all for the sake of the Wang Clan?

Could it be that what Lin Fan said just now was true?

A very small number of people around couldn't help but have such a thought.

Lin Langtian said coldly, "It has nothing to do with the Wang Clan! As an Elder of the Lin Clan, you have provoked me multiple times, and I cannot forgive you! I will now take you to the Clan Ancestral Hall for severe punishment!"

"If you hadn't stood up for the Wang Clan and pressured me, would any of this have happened later?"

Lin Fan looked at the enraged Lin Langtian, his expression as calm as ever, "As for taking me back to the Clan Ancestral Hall, as an involved party, you cannot judge right from wrong, and I do not accept this punishment."

"Two years from now, at the Lin Clan's Clan Gathering, I will personally ask the Clan Chief to judge who is right and who is wrong!"

Lin Langtian said sternly, "You have no say in the matter!"

With that, Lin Langtian gathered his Qi in his palm, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to grab Lin Fan.

However, Lin Fan's figure flickered, and he directly dodged behind Ling Qingzhu.

"Bastard!"

Lin Langtian was furious, but he could only avoid Ling Qingzhu, and his large hand slammed heavily onto the empty ground beside them, nearly collapsing the entire stone hall!

Ling Qingzhu hesitated slightly, but she did not move away.

"Do you only know how to hide behind women?" Lin Langtian's face was ashen, and he said coldly.

Lin Fan smiled slightly, and said, "Say whatever you want."

"Two years later, at the Clan Gathering, I'll be waiting for you!"

Lin Langtian gave Lin Fan a cold look, took a deep breath, his expression returned to calm, and he quickly left the place.

The members of the Lin Clan also followed suit upon seeing this.

Before leaving, Lin Keer couldn't help but glance in Lin Fan's direction, her expression somewhat complex.

"Let's go!"

Ling Qingzhu's expression was calm, but a chill was hidden deep within her eyes as she spoke faintly to Lin Fan.

As her voice fell, Ling Qingzhu directly took the lead.

Lin Fan called out to Lin Dong and immediately followed.

Behind them, Qin Shi and the younger generation of the Qin family, as well as other Loose Cultivators, couldn't help but look at each other in dismay upon seeing this scene.

Then, with complex expressions, they each departed... Outside the Ancient Tomb Mansion, at the top of an isolated mountain peak.

Ling Qingzhu looked at Lin Fan, her face calm, not saying a word.

Lin Dong stood behind Lin Fan, and at this moment, he also felt that the atmosphere was a bit off, so he scratched his head and said,

"Brother Lin Fan, Miss Ling, I just remembered I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Lin Dong felt that since Ling Qingzhu had just stood up to help Lin Fan, she probably wouldn't be at odds with Lin Fan to the death. It seemed inappropriate for him to stay and watch Lin Fan get lectured.

With that, Lin Dong rode Xiao Yan and quickly disappeared from their sight.

"Ahem, Miss Qingzhu, I'm truly sorry about what happened just now. That guy Lin Langtian was a traitor and insisted on dealing with me."

Lin Fan looked at the calm Ling Qingzhu, and coughed dryly, saying.

"Plus, with the Wang Clan eyeing us covetously, I really had no other choice but to resort to this tactic!"

Ling Qingzhu said calmly, "Now that there's no one else around, we can have a proper spar!"

Lin Fan, looking like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, said with a bitter smile, "How could I be a match for Miss Qingzhu? That was just an excuse to get away earlier."

"I know Miss Qingzhu is unhappy and wants to teach me a lesson, so please, go ahead. This is the punishment I deserve."

With that, Lin Fan closed his eyes, appearing completely defenseless.

In reality, Lin Fan's Mental Energy was carefully observing Ling Qingzhu's movements.

If Ling Qingzhu only wanted to beat him up, then so be it.

If Ling Qingzhu truly harbored murderous intent, he naturally wouldn't sit back and wait for death.

Ling Qingzhu's clear and cold eyes swept over Lin Fan, then gazed at the distant white clouds and green mountains. In the depths of her icy eyes, there was a faint ripple.

After a long while, Ling Qingzhu retracted her gaze, letting it fall upon Lin Fan, and said calmly, "Your strength is too weak."

Lin Fan slowly let out a breath and said, "I admit, I am indeed very weak right now. But the future holds infinite possibilities. Perhaps one day, I will be strong enough to shock you!"

"Two years from now, when you've overcome the hurdle of Lin Langtian, then you can boast!" Ling Qingzhu said faintly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was completely relieved. He opened his eyes and said firmly,

"Two years from now, I will defeat him. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet."

Ling Qingzhu looked at Lin Fan's resolute and fervent gaze, and seemed to inadvertently turn her head away, her eyelashes trembling, and said,

"That's your business! I can spare your life, but you must promise me one condition!"

"Miss Qingzhu, please speak," Lin Fan said, gazing at Ling Qingzhu.

Ling Qingzhu said, "The matter of the Ancient Tomb Mansion, keep it buried deep within you forever. Do not let out the slightest bit, and even you yourself must treat it as if it never happened!"

Lin Fan wasn't affected by Ling Qingzhu's words, which kept others at a thousand li distance. His gaze was resolute, and his expression was calm as he said,

"The matter of the tomb mansion, I will not mention it to anyone. But, I will also never forget it!"

"You're seeking death!" Ling Qingzhu's delicate brows furrowed upon hearing this, and her voice turned icy, "If you continue like this, I will kill you right here. Don't think I can't do it!"

"If even a tiny bit of what happened between us is exposed, let alone you, even the Lin Clan will be completely wiped out!"

"You are not a fool; you should know what to do and what not to do. Some things, no matter how much willpower you have, are absolutely impossible to accomplish! When a person acts, he should know his limits!"

Lin Fan stared intently at Ling Qingzhu, saying without any concealment, "I know everything you're saying, and I naturally won't do anything foolish!"

"But when my strength is sufficient, I will stand before you again, and then tell you that the woman I've slept with is definitely mine!"

Lin Fan's aggressive gaze and explicit words caused Ling Qingzhu's delicate body to stiffen involuntarily.

At this moment, beneath the thin veil, her beautiful face showed a truly remarkable expression!

Lin Fan's unreserved words, however, were met with a fierce palm strike from Ling Qingzhu.

"Bang!"

Lin Fan took a blow to the chest, his body flying backward violently, crashing into a towering boulder, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Fan ignored the pain and said firmly, "That day won't be far!"

"This kind of nonsensical foolish talk, only this once, before you reach the level you speak of! I have already shown you utmost mercy; if you push your luck further, I will truly kill you!"

Ling Qingzhu slightly turned her head, somewhat unable to bear Lin Fan's fervent and determined gaze, and a slight ripple emerged deep within her clear eyes.

"Lin Fan, I hope the next time we meet, you are no longer so weak! True power never relies on mere words!"

The faint voice lingered on the mountaintop, and a green lotus light surged forth, then transformed into a streak of green light, disappearing in an instant from Lin Fan's sight.

"Heh heh, she still held back," Lin Fan stood up, looked in the direction Ling Qingzhu had left, rubbed his chest, and chuckled softly.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lin Fan sensed intense battle fluctuations coming from not far from this mountain peak.

One of the parties involved was clearly Lin Dong's aura...
