Chapter 211: Chapter 210: Traitor

At the Lin Family, Lin Xiong ordered a full mobilization, leveraging every bit of power they could marshal, all for the purpose of locating the materials listed by Lin Fan.

Finally, after three days, all the materials listed by Lin Fan had been gathered.

"Grandpa, I didn’t expect you to be so quick. I thought it would take at least five days to gather these materials," said Lin Fan with a chuckle as he looked at the pile of materials before him.

"This concerns the life and death of our Lin Family; naturally, I did everything I could to find the materials you needed," replied Lin Xiong.

With that, Lin Xiong paused slightly before looking at Lin Fan with an uncertain gaze, asking, "But... Fan, can these materials truly be forged into a Supreme Cannon?"

Lin Fan waved his hand and responded, "Grandpa, just wait and see. I will definitely bring you another surprise."

Lin Xiong nodded without saying anything more.

Then, Lin Xiong left directly.

Furthermore, Lin Xiong instructed all members of the Lin Family not to disturb Lin Fan without his permission.

Because Lin Xiong knew that Lin Fan absolutely could not be disturbed while crafting the Supreme Cannon.

After that, Lin Fan began crafting the Supreme Cannon.

Of course, the process of crafting was incredibly straightforward for Lin Fan—he only needed to carve the Pattern Engraving Technique on the materials, and the materials would transform into the desired shape according to his will.

For example, as soon as Lin Fan left a special Pattern Engraving on a huge piece of material, it quickly turned into a cannon barrel.

On the second day, while Lin Fan was crafting the Supreme Cannon, someone unexpectedly arrived.

Lin Fan had set up an invisible Array within a five hundred meter radius, so he could detect anyone coming within the first moment.

"It’s the Ninth Elder!"

Lin Fan thought to himself.

Lin Fan had a very good impression of the Lin Family’s Ninth Elder, who was not only powerful but also fiercely loyal to the Lin Family.

At this time, the Ninth Elder, having just made a breakthrough to reach Heavenly Martial Level, was considered a core force for the Lin Family.

"Lin Fan!"

After arriving, the Ninth Elder called out directly with a beaming smile on his face.

Lin Fan ceased his cannon crafting and asked the Ninth Elder, "Grandpa Nine, do you need something?"

The Ninth Elder shook his head and said, "Actually, it’s nothing much. I just felt that you’re working too hard crafting the Supreme Cannon, so I came to see how you’re doing. Eh? I didn’t expect that in such a short time, you’d already shaped the Supreme Cannon? Incredible."

After the pause, the Ninth Elder continued, "Lin Fan, your contribution to our Lin Family is immense. With you, our Lin Family will undoubtedly rise. Right, you’ve been here crafting the cannon these days; you must be expending a lot of energy. I have some Pills here that are very good for recovery of inner energy. Take them and use them."

While speaking, the Ninth Elder already had a bottle of Pills in his hand.

Lin Fan glanced at the Pills and realized that although they were good, they were of no use to him.

In other words, Lin Fan couldn’t make use of these Pills.

Lin Fan was just about to refuse.

But...

In that instant, Lin Fan suddenly sensed a very dangerous aura directly targeting him, his skin crawling as if targeted by a ferocious beast.

Immediately, Lin Fan understood.

It turned out that the Ninth Elder wasn’t there to offer warmth, but to kill him.

"Unexpectedly, he has turned out to be a traitor," Lin Fan thought to himself.

Boom...

At that moment, a boundless attack suddenly burst forth from the Ninth Elder’s body, sweeping directly towards Lin Fan.

The Ninth Elder, finally making his move.

And it was a surprise attack.

At the same time, Lin Fan noticed a cruel smile appearing on the Ninth Elder’s face.

Boom...

In the end, the Ninth Elder’s attack landed fully on Lin Fan’s body.

"Ah!"

After a scream, Lin Fan was sent flying backward, eventually slamming heavily onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

It seemed Lin Fan was severely injured.

"Huh?"

The Ninth Elder looked over at Lin Fan, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, expressing his surprise, "You, you’re actually not dead? That’s really beyond my expectations, hehe!"

While speaking, the Ninth Elder stepped towards Lin Fan.

He released his murderous aura without any attempt to conceal it.

Lin Fan struggled to stand up, but it appeared that his injuries were quite severe, and he was unable to rise.

"Why... Why would you do this?"

Lin Fan asked weakly.

"Haha!"

The Ninth Elder laughed happily and said, "With your intelligence, can’t you guess what has happened? Let me tell you, I have already joined the Poison Sect, and you think you can use this Supreme Cannon to fight against the Poison Sect? I cannot allow you to do so."

"You traitor!"

Lin Fan shouted angrily.

"Traitor?" The Ninth Elder shook his head and said, "You’re wrong, I’m not a traitor. I simply recognize that the wise adapt to changing circumstances. The Poison Sect’s power is growing, and soon the entire Barbarian lands will belong to them. Why should we in the Lin Family be stubborn? If we can align with the Poison Sect, it won’t be long before the Lin Family can rise again. But if we stubbornly oppose the Poison Sect, we will be quickly annihilated."

"I am not betraying the Lin Family; I’m saving it."

Lin Fan asked, "I guess I’m not the only one from our family who has joined the Poison Sect, am I?"

The Ninth Elder replied with a smile, "You are clever. Let me tell you the truth, aside from myself, the Fourth Elder, Sixth Elder, and Thirteenth Elder have also joined the Poison Sect. The four of us are the saviors of the Lin Family."

The Ninth Elder revealed everything without any reservations.

In his eyes, Lin Fan was as good as dead, so he had no concerns.

After hearing the Ninth Elder’s words, Lin Fan’s complexion changed.

It was well-known that the Fourth Elder was a pivotal figure in the Lin Family, even capable of controlling the Lin Family’s Defensive Array. Fortunately, his treachery had been exposed at this moment; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable if the Fourth Elder turned traitor at a critical moment.

"Alright!"

At that time, the Ninth Elder once again spoke with a smile, "Boy, you now know all that you should. Next, it’s time for you to depart!"

While speaking, the Ninth Elder’s right hand slowly rose, beginning to gather an attack, preparing to strike Lin Fan.

At the same time, the Ninth Elder spoke with pride, "Remember, boy, if there is a next life, make sure to be someone who understands the times and knows when to advance and retreat; otherwise, in your next life, you’ll still meet an early death."
