Chapter 158: Chapter 157 Poison Sect

That night.

The moon hung quietly high in the sky, emanating a cold and bleak light.

Recently, the weather at night has been quite cold, giving a bone-chilling sensation. If it were an ordinary person, they would have already succumbed to the cold.

However, strangely enough, at this moment, a white-robed youth stood in a secluded spot, quietly looking up at the sky in contemplation, as if troubled by some vexing matter.

"Sigh!"

Suddenly, the white-robed youth let out a sigh.

"Where should I, Luo Yuan, go from here?"

He spoke softly, his face full of helplessness.

It turned out this person was actually Luo Yuan.

"Hehe!"

Just then, laughter suddenly rang out.

"Brother Luo Yuan, isn’t it boring to stand here alone? How about I join you for a few drinks?"

Following the voice, Lin Fan appeared, strolling over at a leisurely pace.

"How did you get here?"

Luo Yuan looked at Lin Fan with some surprise and asked.

Lin Fan said, "Brother Luo Yuan, I came here to drink with you!"

"Unfortunately, there’s no wine!" Luo Yuan responded indifferently.

"Is that so?"

Lin Fan suddenly laughed and said, "As far as I know, disciples of the Poison Sect never go without wine. Brother Luo Yuan, surely you’re not reluctant to share your wine with me, are you? Haha!"

"What?"

Luo Yuan was taken aback, then looked at Lin Fan in surprise.

At the same time, Luo Yuan immediately entered a combat-ready state.

It was clear that Luo Yuan was very tense at this moment.

And if Lin Fan made any further moves, Luo Yuan would not hesitate to act immediately.

Lin Fan observed all of Luo Yuan’s reactions.

"Hehe!"

Lin Fan just smiled lightly, waved his hand at Luo Yuan, and said, "Brother Luo Yuan, actually, there’s no need to be tense. If I wanted to make a move against you, I wouldn’t have come to find you like this!"

Luo Yuan shook his head and said, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Is that so?"

Lin Fan laughed again, saying, "Brother Luo Yuan, that doesn’t seem like the Poison Sect’s style. Disciples of the Poison Sect, although each one of you is incredibly mysterious, won’t deny your identity once discovered!"

Luo Yuan remained silent.

Lin Fan continued, "Brother Luo Yuan, I’m just very curious, what is your purpose?"

Luo Yuan shook his head and replied, "I don’t know!"

Lin Fan then asked, "Then Brother Luo Yuan, tell me, how many of you are there in the Sky Star Sect?"

Luo Yuan shook his head again and said, "Apart from myself, I really don’t know about anyone else."

"Alright then!"

Lin Fan said helplessly, deciding not to ask any further.

Because Lin Fan knew that even if he asked more, he wouldn’t learn anything.

Luo Yuan looked at Lin Fan and asked, "How did you figure out that I am a disciple of the Poison Sect?"

Lin Fan replied indifferently, "I guessed!"

Luo Yuan was startled, then shook his head and said, "Don’t believe it!"

"Hehe, whether you believe it or not, that’s your business. It has nothing to do with me!" As Lin Fan spoke, his face always bore a faint smile.

Luo Yuan looked at Lin Fan, his face betraying an utmost troubled expression.

It was apparent that Luo Yuan’s heart must be awash with conflicting emotions at this time.

And Lin Fan, he simply stood there quietly, watching Luo Yuan.

No one knew what Lin Fan was really thinking at that moment.

After a good while, Luo Yuan seemed to have made up his mind and said to Lin Fan, "Make your move!"

"Make my move?"

Lin Fan was taken aback.

Luo Yuan said, "Yes, kill me. You are a decent person and I greatly admire you. So if you kill me, I won’t resist. Besides, given your potential, you’re bound not to be ordinary in the future. Dying at your hands would be an honor."

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing Luo Yuan’s words, Lin Fan burst into uproarious laughter.

Seeing Lin Fan laugh like that, Luo Yuan appeared to be quite irritated and coldly asked, "What’s so funny? What is there to laugh about?"

Lin Fan said, "Senior Brother Luo Yuan, as I said just now, I’m not going to kill you! Nor will I lay a hand on you!"

Luo Yuan was somewhat dazed.

He’s not going to kill me?

But if he’s not going to kill me, why did he reveal my identity?

What good does that do him?

Luo Yuan stared blankly at Lin Fan.

For a moment, Luo Yuan also found that he simply couldn’t see through Lin Fan.

"What do you really want to do?"

Luo Yuan couldn’t help but ask again.

Lin Fan said, "I don’t want to do anything!"

"Then you..." Luo Yuan began to say.

Lin Fan sighed, raised his hand to stop Luo Yuan from speaking, and continued, "Senior Brother Luo Yuan, I truly understand your feelings and doubts at the moment. After all, Sky Star Sect and Poison Sect are supposed to be mortal enemies. From your perspective, once your identity as a disciple of Poison Sect is exposed, I should kill you. But what I want you to know is that I actually bear no ill will towards Poison Sect!"

"No ill will?"

Luo Yuan was even more puzzled.

Lin Fan nodded earnestly, "Yes, I indeed harbor no ill will towards Poison Sect."

"Why?" Luo Yuan asked again.

Lin Fan said, "No reason in particular, it’s just that I believe Sky Star Sect and Poison Sect should live in harmony, should support each other. To be honest, I feel that the Martial Path civilization of Barbarian is not lacking. We Barbarian have a lot of talents too. But all this time, people outside call our land a backward wilderness, and even our cultivators are subject to ridicule when they go out. Do you know why?"

Luo Yuan looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Why?"

Lin Fan said, "It’s because of the constant major wars between Sky Star Sect and Poison Sect. Each of these wars results in countless deaths and injuries, preventing Barbarian from having the time to recuperate. Many formidable experts, even before they have had the chance to develop, are already cut down. Think about it, under these circumstances, how can Barbarian not fall behind?"

"So, I think that if we Barbarian want to develop well, Poison Sect and Sky Star Sect must come together in unity. Only if Poison Sect and Sky Star Sect live in harmony will it take but a few years for the Martial Path civilization of Barbarian to catch up."

After saying this, Lin Fan stopped talking.

Lin Fan looked over at Luo Yuan, only to see Luo Yuan standing there dumbstruck, not knowing what he was thinking.

And Lin Fan, too, just quietly looked at Luo Yuan.

It seemed if Luo Yuan didn’t speak, he wasn’t planning to say more either.

At this moment, Luo Yuan’s heart was already overwhelmed by shock.

At the same time, his heart was also filled with great excitement.

He never dreamed that there would actually be someone in this world who shared his sentiments.

Then Luo Yuan looked back at Lin Fan and asked seriously, "Everything you just said, is that truly your innermost thoughts? You’re not deceiving me?"

Lin Fan replied earnestly, "I swear upon my devotion to the Martial Path that every word I’ve spoken is from my true heart, that’s exactly what I think."

Luo Yuan nodded.

But then he sighed and said, "You’re right, Sky Star Sect and Poison Sect should be living in harmony, but... you know, achieving this is incredibly difficult, almost impossible, because Sky Star Sect and Poison Sect have developed a hatred so deep that it’s a matter of life and death. Under such circumstances, for the two to live in harmony is simply unfeasible!"

As he spoke, Luo Yuan’s face was tinged with a sense of defeat.
