Chapter 539 You Are Outdated!
“Not completely dead!?” Lin Badian suddenly raised his head, looking at Fang Yu with wide eyes.
“When I attacked Purple Flame Palace back then, they had some warning and used a certain method to preserve the souls of some disciples, who have only awakened recently,” Fang Yu said coldly. “I’ve already dealt with three of these remnants who awakened, but haven’t found the rest yet.”
Waves of killing intent rippled across Lin Badian’s semi-transparent body.
He looked at Fang Yu and said icily: “We can search for them throughout the entire Nine States! Find these scum and slaughter them one by one!”
“I’m already working on that,” Fang Yu said.
“This time, let me join you!” Lin Badian said firmly. “Over two thousand years ago, I couldn’t help you. Fortunately, I left behind a trace of my will, so I still have a chance to make up for that regret…”
“You’re just a trace of will. If you leave this place, you probably won’t last half a month,” Fang Yu said.
“Half a month? Fang Yu, you underestimate me. My will can definitely last at least a month!” Lin Badian said confidently.
Fang Yu looked at Lin Badian, remained silent for several seconds, then said: “You’re not staying here waiting for your successor?”
“Wait for what? Over all these years, the few people who managed to get in here could be counted on one hand, and they were all useless!” Lin Badian snorted disdainfully and said, “I’d rather destroy that strand of Xuanran energy than pass it to those weaklings.”
“Oh? People have been here before?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Yes, about three or four people have broken in, and I drove them all out,” Lin Badian said. “One of them wasn’t even human, seemed to be a being from another race.”
“A being from another race?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Just thinking about that one makes me angry. It was about eight hundred years ago?” Lin Badian recalled. “It wasn’t even human, yet it dared to try to get its hands on my Xuanran energy…”
“What did you do to it?” Fang Yu asked.
“I wasn’t in a good mood at the time, so I slapped it away with one palm,” Lin Badian said. “Though this creature’s physical body was quite tough – it wasn’t completely destroyed by my slap.”
“Do you remember what it looked like?” Fang Yu asked.
“It might have used some kind of technique, as its appearance was no different from a human’s. However, the aura around it was obvious, letting me know it wasn’t human,” Lin Badian said.
“What kind of aura did it have? Was it filled with death energy and killing intent?” Fang Yu continued asking.
“…I think so. Do you know about these creatures?” Lin Badian asked.
“Yes, I’ve been dealing with this race recently,” Fang Yu said. “In fact, the reason I came here is because of them.”
“They…” Lin Badian was about to inquire further when his brows furrowed. He said, “Someone has broken into the upper level. We need to go out.”
“Did you make all those statues upstairs yourself?” Fang Yu asked.
“Uh… yes, what do you think? Did you see your own statue?” Lin Badian smiled.
“The other statues look quite accurate, but your own image is too exaggerated,” Fang Yu said.
“Exaggerated? How so? Just because it’s a bit larger? It’s my own statue, I should make it stand out a bit,” Lin Badian retorted.
“The size isn’t the problem, the problem is the face,” Fang Yu said. “If you were really that handsome, the Cold Moon Sect’s holy maiden wouldn’t have rejected you back then.”
“…I’ve said it before, she didn’t reject me because of my face!” Lin Badian glared and said, “I wasn’t that handsome, true, but many holy maidens from other sects liked me back then. You know, those girls would call me ‘Brother Badian’ all the time…”
“But in the end, you still had no partner,” Fang Yu smiled.
“That’s because I was devoted! I only liked the Cold Moon holy maiden, but… sigh, never mind. My true self has probably become an Immortal King by now, surely with many immortal companions, living a very happy life,” Lin Badian shook his head and said.
“Bang!”
Before he finished speaking, a loud noise came from above.
“These little brats are fighting now. If they damage the statues I worked so hard to make, I’ll cripple them all!” Lin Badian said fiercely.
Fang Yu remembered Ye Shengxue waiting above and said to Lin Badian: “I’ll go up first. You should find a way to look more human before…”
“That’s easy, just need a spiritual disguise,” Lin Badian said as his body began to glow.
His semi-transparent body immediately became solid.
Now Lin Badian wore a light blue robe and pretentiously fanned himself with a paper fan, looking like a graceful young nobleman.
His face was indeed as handsome as his statue portrayed.
“Is this acceptable?” Lin Badian asked.
“Whatever you want, but I should warn you that your clothes are outdated. Modern people don’t wear silk robes like that,” Fang Yu said.
“Doesn’t matter, let’s go up,” Lin Badian said.
As he spoke, a light appeared beneath their feet.
Then, both men vanished from the hall.
…
“Luo Teng! Don’t go too far! If you attack us here, we’ll both suffer losses, and other martial artists will benefit!”
In the space at the bottom of Qiankun Mountain, on a small path lined with murals on both sides, the Yu siblings’ team was blocked by Luo Teng’s team.
Luo Teng attacked without hesitation, causing the Yu siblings’ expressions to change as the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Ye Shengxue, who had been waiting in place, also heard the commotion from behind. She quickly hid behind a stone statue, carefully observing the situation.
“Those martial artists from Xiangcheng are all useless. They don’t even qualify to be opportunists,” Luo Teng said coldly. “If I kill all of you here, the treasures will still be mine, and no one will escape.”
Yu Shijie and Yu Nan’s faces turned pale, clearly very wary.
Theoretically, their team had eight people while Luo Teng’s team only had five, giving them an absolute advantage in numbers. Luo Teng should be the one feeling intimidated.
However, Luo Teng’s aggressive aura overwhelmed the entire Yu family team.
There was a reason for this.
The grudge between the two families went back many years.
Back then, the Luo family was a dominant force in Dongdu, while the Yu family was just a middle-tier family.
But the head of the Luo family and the head of the Yu family were good friends, even considered brothers.
One night while drinking, the Yu family head proposed to cooperate with the Luo family head to explore a certain ruin.
Each family head led a team, working together along the way. After much hardship, they finally found the treasure in the ruins.
At that moment, the Yu family head betrayed the Luo family head, suddenly attacking the Luo family team!
Due to the previous dangers they had faced, the entire Luo family team was already exhausted.
The Yu family, however, had planned this betrayal and conserved their strength!
As a result, almost the entire Luo family team was wiped out, with the Luo family head dying tragically at the hands of the Yu family head!
The treasures from the ruins were taken solely by the Yu family!
After leaving the ruins, the Yu family claimed that the Luo family team had met with an accident, which caused their demise.
To maintain this lie, the Yu family head executed all members who had participated in this affair.
However, the Yu family head hadn’t anticipated that one member of the Luo family team had escaped and revealed the truth to the Luo family.
The Luo family was furious and reported it directly to the Martial Arts Association.
But since all the parties involved were dead, and the Yu family head denied everything to his death, with no evidence available, the matter was left unresolved.
From then on, the Luo family was severely weakened, falling from its dominant position in Dongdu.
Meanwhile, the Yu family, having obtained all the treasures and inheritances from the ruins, rose rapidly and soon stood shoulder to shoulder with the Luo family.
In recent years, the Yu family’s status had even somewhat surpassed the Luo family’s.
But the hatred between the two families wasn’t diluted by the passage of time; instead, it grew deeper.
The Luo family was constantly looking for ways to take revenge and make the Yu family pay.
The Luo family head who died in that incident was Luo Teng’s own grandfather!
Therefore, Luo Teng’s hatred for the Yu family was even more intense!
Today was the perfect opportunity for revenge!
Deep in western Xiangcheng, the Yu family couldn’t come to their rescue!
Killing the Yu siblings here would avenge his grandfather’s tragic death!
“Today, you… will all die!” Luo Teng erupted with an astonishing aura, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
