Lin Fan arrived at the deliberation hall and found that not only the Sect Master, but all the high-ranking officials of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect were present, and Su Ziyan was also there. As soon as Lin Fan entered, all eyes instantly turned to him, making his scalp tingle, as if they were there to question him.
"Lin Fan greets the Sect Master, and all Elders," Lin Fan said.
"Lin Fan, I presume you already know why we called you here, right?" the Sect Master said.
"This old fox, he doesn't even bother to pretend not to know. Is he that impatient?" Lin Fan thought to himself.
Although he knew why, Lin Fan still pretended not to know on the surface: "Please enlighten me, Sect Master."
"Lin Fan, we want to know what you saw in the Secret Realm? What Legacy did you obtain?" After speaking, he looked at Lin Fan with anticipation, and everyone else did the same.
Seeing this, Lin Fan feigned a helpless expression and then said, "Sect Master, after this Disciple came out, he couldn't remember anything inside. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't recall it." After speaking, he put on a look of disappointment, which made everyone present too embarrassed to press further.
"You really don't remember anything at all, Lin Fan?" The Sect Master's voice became heavier when he said "Lin Fan," carrying a hint of interrogation. But even so, Lin Fan still replied that he didn't know. So the Sect Master walked up to Lin Fan, looked at him sternly, and then patted his shoulder.
At this moment, Lin Fan was wondering if his acting had been seen through, but suddenly, the Sect Master burst into laughter and then told Lin Fan to go back. This left Lin Fan utterly confused, not knowing what the Sect Master meant.
Returning to Saint Child Peak, Lin Fan thoroughly explored it. He had to admit that as a top force in the Eastern Domain, the Piaomiao Immortal Sect's foundation was truly impressive. Saint Child Peak, like Saintess Peak, was incredibly luxurious. Although the houses inside were not large, besides the houses, there were hot springs, medicinal gardens, Pill Refining Rooms, treasuries, and everything else was very complete.
Seeing this, Lin Fan chuckled and eagerly entered the treasury to check. As soon as he entered, Lin Fan was stunned. This Liu Qing truly came from a powerful Family; his wealth was indeed immense. There were so many Heaven And Earth Treasures; any one of them, if taken out, would cause a frantic Rob.
Thinking of Liu Qing, Lin Fan suddenly remembered that it had been several days since he killed Liu Qing. Why hadn't anyone from the Liu Family come for revenge? Lin Fan really wanted the Liu Family to come for revenge so he would have a reason to act against them, making people in the Eastern Domain think he had a powerful backer, and deterring other forces from acting against him. This way, he could save himself some trouble, after all, he was not someone who liked to show off; he was very low-key.
On the other side, ever since Liu Qing was killed, the entire Liu Family was filled with rage, vowing to grind Lin Fan to dust. As Liu Qing's father and the Liu Family's Family Head, Liu Xi.
At this moment, he sat silently in the main seat. All the other Elders of the Liu Family were also present, and they were all looking at Liu Xi.
After an unknown amount of time, one of the Elders said, "Family Head, please give an order. Liu Qing cannot die in vain. We cannot wait any longer. If we wait, how will the Eastern Domain view our Liu Family? All the forces in the Eastern Domain are watching."
"Yes, Family Head, we cannot wait any longer. Make a decision quickly!"
"Yes, yes, Family Head, please decide quickly!"
With the first person speaking, others quickly chimed in.
Liu Xi looked at the crowd below, but he also felt a bit helpless. Although the Liu Family was one of the four great Families, it was still inferior to the Piaomiao Immortal Sect. If they were to openly demand justice, they had no legitimate reason, as he understood that his son had died because he was not strong enough in a life-and-death battle.
"Alas, I understand the Elders' feelings, but we cannot directly demand the person. You all know how Qing'er died. Directly demanding him is certainly not feasible, and our Liu Family is ultimately no match for the Piaomiao Immortal Sect."
"Family Head, if we can't act directly, we can hire assassins!" The person who spoke was the Third Elder. The Third Elder was originally in Liu Qing's faction, hoping to rise through him, but he didn't expect this fellow to die so young. This greatly angered the Third Elder, and he harbored deep hatred for Lin Fan.
"The Third Elder is right, we can hire assassins from the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion," said the Grand Elder. Liu Qing's death was good news for him. Liu Qing had too much prestige within the Clan, and his own child was born at the wrong time, which made him lose hope for the position of Family Head. Now that this incident had occurred, he had to contend for it no matter what.
Once this matter passed, he would immediately jointly propose to establish a new young Family Head. Liu Xi's other sons would definitely not be able to compare to his eldest son.
Thinking of this, the Grand Elder added, "Regarding hiring an assassin, this old man is willing to go personally and ensure that we find an assassin who can 100% kill Lin Fan." After speaking, the Grand Elder looked at the Liu Family Head with a serious expression.
"Since that is the case, then I will trouble the Grand Elder to make the trip," Liu Xi said after a moment of contemplation.
"If there's nothing else, you may all disperse," he said, waving his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
"This Liu Ji is so concerned about Qing'er's matter," Liu Xi's wife, Su Die, said.
"This old fox, after Qing'er's death, he's starting to stir again. Hmph, he won't shed tears until he sees the coffin," Liu Xi said, his face filled with killing intent.
After the Grand Elder went to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, he quickly returned. According to him, he spent a great deal to hire a Martial Venerable expert, and one at the Peak of Martial Venerable at that. Killing Lin Fan would be more than enough.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan was unaware of the Liu Family's movements, and even if he knew, he would only dismiss them with disdain.
Just now, the System had issued another task to Lin Fan.
"Ding! The System is now issuing a task."
"Please, Host, immediately go to Qingshan Town, find Su Yue, and take her as your Disciple."
"Option One: Take her as your Disciple, obtain: Dan Emperor identity, Seven-Colored Spirit Dragon Cauldron, Dan Emperor Alchemy Mind Method, one million Spirit Stones."
"Option Two: Refuse, obtain: your private part shortens by 10cm."
Seeing the options, Lin Fan's face was covered in black lines. Wasn't this forcing him to take a Disciple? He originally wanted to just slack off, but now, he couldn't even do that. However, before that, he had to claim the rewards from the previous task. This System didn't even immediately issue them after he completed them; he had to ask for them, so inconsiderate.
"System, claim rewards."
"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Dan Emperor identity, Seven-Colored Spirit Dragon Cauldron, Dan Emperor Alchemy Mind Method, and one million Spirit Stones."
"System, I was talking about the rewards for the last task! What is this? Did I agree to this?"
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, your cultivation has increased by one stage!"
Instantly, Lin Fan felt his strength increase by a large margin. Lin Fan was so comfortable he almost cried out.
"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained one Saint servant. The servant will arrive soon. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained one Immortal Pill. It has been placed in the System Space."
"System, what is the effect of the Immortal Pill?"
"Ding! As the name suggests, the Immortal Pill can save a person from death once. Even if only one breath remains, it can bring a person back to life."
"Holy sh*t, amazing! System, I love you to death! You're the one who understands me best!"
Lin Fan then looked at his personal information again.
