Chapter 248: Chapter 247 Holy Dragon Fruit

"Lin Fan, just you wait, you had better pray that you never cross paths with me again. Otherwise, I’ll make your life a living hell, ah..."

A more ferocious aura burst forth from Wang Yanzi, slicing across the surrounding Array like countless swords and blades.

Boom...

With a loud noise, the Array that surrounded them was finally completely deciphered by Wang Yanzi.

Wang Yanzi immediately approached Zhao Cong and asked, "Disciple, are you all right?"

Zhao Cong was extremely weak; Lin Fan had destroyed her Purple Mansion, leaving her feeling utterly desolate.

For a martial maniac, once the Purple Mansion was destroyed, it truly was a fate worse than death...

"Master, just kill me. Now that my Purple Mansion is destroyed, I am nothing but a cripple. Living on is meaningless, so please, Master, I beg you, kill your disciple and spare me from further suffering!"

Zhao Cong began to plead with Wang Yanzi incessantly.

Now, Zhao Cong wished for nothing but death.

Naturally, Wang Yanzi had no intention of killing Zhao Cong, and said, "Disciple, rest assured, you won’t be harmed. Don’t despair. Though your Purple Mansion has been destroyed, it’s all not a problem. Once we find the Buddhist Golden Pearl, we will certainly be able to restore your Purple Mansion. Besides, although the underground palace is dangerous, I’m positive it’s a place of countless opportunities; otherwise, so many experts wouldn’t have perished here!"

"But, Master..."

Zhao Cong wanted to say something else.

Wang Yanzi interrupted Zhao Cong, "Disciple, don’t say anything. I understand you..."

After pausing briefly, endless hatred once again surfaced on Wang Yanzi’s face as she continued, "Moreover, disciple, don’t you want to take revenge against Lin Fan with your own hands? If you still want revenge, you must survive. Only if you live, will there be hope. Do you understand?"

At the mention of Lin Fan, a surge of fury arose within Zhao Cong, and a glint of vengeful fire quickly ignited in her eyes...

"Master, don’t worry, I will live well!" Zhao Cong’s face was filled with determination: "I will certainly kill Lin Fan!"

...

Lin Fan fled from Wang Yanzi’s clutches and pressed on!

Lin Fan knew that continuing onward was extremely dangerous, as he encountered numerous corpses along the way, most of which were left by those at the Saint Ascension Realm.

However, this fellow Lin Fan had quite the guts, collecting many Space Rings left behind by Saint Ascension Realm experts, which contained all sorts of treasures, a huge gain for Lin Fan indeed.

It’s just a pity that a large number of the experts’ Space Rings were destroyed in battle, otherwise Lin Fan’s gains would have been even more substantial.

Yet, even knowing the dangers ahead, Lin Fan would not shrink back. On one hand, there was no possibility of retreat, only advance. Besides, Lin Fan also sought to risk danger for potential wealth. He believed with the Universal Image, he could seek fortune and avoid calamity, and perhaps gain some unexpected opportunities. On the other hand, Lin Fan felt that if nothing went wrong, Liu Rumei should continue forward, so he planned to keep searching for Liu Rumei!

"Huh?"

After walking for a long time, Lin Fan suddenly saw a tall mountain.

"Such a strong scent of blood!"

Shock arose in Lin Fan’s heart.

Because from that mountain, a very strong scent of blood wafted down.

After moving a bit closer, Lin Fan was shocked to discover that the foot of the mountain was already crowded with people, probably two to three hundred in number. All were experts from the Barbarian lands, and to Lin Fan’s surprise, not a single expert from the Poison Sect was to be seen...

As for the people on top of the mountain, Lin Fan could see clearly. They were the three great experts of the Barbarian lands: Old Dragon Subduing, Zhao Lin, and Jade Rakshasa.

"Have the people from the Poison Sect been dealt with?"

Old Dragon Subduing looked down and asked indifferently.

Below, a tall man shouted loudly, "Lord Dragon Subduing, the experts of the Poison Sect fell into ambushes and our set traps. They’ve all perished, and absolutely none survived!"

"Good."

Old Dragon Subduing nodded and said, "You’ve done very well!"

After a brief pause, Old Dragon Subduing continued, "Since the experts from the Poison Sect have all been dealt with, your mission is also completed. There’s no use keeping you around anymore!"

Upon hearing Old Dragon Subduing’s words, all present could not help but feel stunned.

They did not understand what completing the mission actually meant.

"Lord..."

The tall man standing below wanted to say something more.

But Old Dragon Subduing simply waved his hand...

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

Just then, thousands of arrows suddenly rained down from the mountain, shooting towards the two or three hundred people below.

"Not good!"

Everyone was taken aback, suddenly sensing an overwhelming crisis.

"Retreat!"

Everyone prepared to retreat.

But unfortunately, at that moment, the arrows were too dense; it was too late to retreat.

One by one, the Saint Ascension Realm experts rapidly fell, their life forces swiftly vanishing, though they didn’t die immediately.

"Just right, my Holy Dragon Fruit has not completely matured yet, but... once the blood pool absorbs the Essence Blood from your bodies, perhaps the Holy Dragon Fruit can finally mature?" Old Dragon Subduing’s cold voice echoed.

What?

Upon hearing Old Dragon Subduing’s words, everyone was utterly shocked.

Their own Essence Blood used as fertilizer for the so-called Holy Dragon Fruit?

In that instant, everyone understood, they had been played as pawns by Old Dragon Subduing?

This supposed underground palace, it was entirely a massive conspiracy, Old Dragon Subduing’s conspiracy...

He had lured all the Barbarian experts into the underground palace, and the ultimate goal was to slaughter them and take their Essence Blood to nourish the Holy Dragon Fruit?

Everyone was furious!

They wished they could kill Old Dragon Subduing!

But now, they were powerless.

In the end, one by one, they died.

When everyone had fallen, the middle-aged man who had spoken to Old Dragon Subduing earlier said resentfully, "Why? Why is this happening?"

Old Dragon Subduing responded, "Idiot, do you still not understand? All of you are nothing more than fertilizer!"

"But... but... I am your disciple, your proudest disciple!" the middle-aged man said in disbelief, his voice trembling.

"Waste!"

Old Dragon Subduing spoke, "So what if you’re my disciple? When it’s time to use you, I will still use you!"

"You... you..."

The middle-aged man wanted to say something more, but in the end, he didn’t manage to say anything. His body slowly collapsed, and the breath of life vanished from him instantly.

Just like that, he died!

But after death, his eyes were wide open in disbelief, truly dying with lingering grievance.

Everyone died!

After these people died, their essence blood was drawn by the array and directed towards the blood pool, ultimately becoming fertilizer for the Holy Dragon Fruit...

Lin Fan was watching all this from afar.

At this moment, Lin Fan’s heart was filled with extreme horror.

"Demons, they are simply demons!"

Lin Fan thought shockingly, "I never expected that in this world, there could be such ruthless and mad people? Luring all the top experts of the Barbarian lands into the underground palace to slaughter them, all for one’s selfish desires?"

At this time, Lin Fan was hiding in the dark, not daring to make a move.

Because Lin Fan was well aware that in such a situation, he absolutely must not be discovered by Old Dragon Subduing and the other two, or else his death would be certain.

Even retreating and leaving the place was a risk Lin Fan did not dare to take.

Lin Fan was clear that if he made the slightest movement, he would definitely be noticed by these three demons.

"The system has detected a treasure ahead and has automatically activated the treasure-hunting function!" At this moment, the system voice of the Universal Image echoed in Lin Fan’s mind.

"Treasure?"

Excitement immediately arose deep within Lin Fan’s heart.

However, Lin Fan quickly came to terms with it.

The three demons like Old Dragon Subduing would rather commit a grave offense against the entire world by killing so many experts, there must be something they are after, there definitely must be an incredibly remarkable treasure inside.

Lin Fan was very curious about what the treasure might be.

However, Lin Fan did not dare to use the power of his soul to check because the three people above were Saint Ascension level experts, and even the slightest release of soul power would definitely be detected by them.

"I’ll just keep hiding here for now, maybe there will be a chance!"

Lin Fan thought to himself.

Lin Fan was absolutely certain that the three demons above would not be of one mind. Once the treasure appeared, new conflicts would inevitably arise.

That could become his opportunity.

Time ticked away, minute by minute.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Lin Fan couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Because at that moment, waves of intoxicating fragrance wafted over towards here.

"Such a tantalizing scent!"

Lin Fan could not help but feel refreshed all over, as if his body had become lighter.

"The treasure has appeared!"

Anticipation immediately surged in Lin Fan’s heart.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a loud roar erupted from atop the mountain.

"Die!"

Then came the shout of Old Dragon Subduing.

It didn’t take long for an intense battle to break out at the mountain peak.

Clearly, a fierce battle had commenced on the peak.

"As expected, they have started fighting!" Lin Fan perked up instantly.

Afterward, Lin Fan moved step by step towards the side, keeping his movements minimal. Plus, with the three folks on the mountain peak engrossed in battle, they paid no attention to Lin Fan himself.

"Holy Dragon Fruit?"

Lin Fan quickly saw the fruit on the top of the mountain.

"I never would have imagined that the Holy Dragon Fruit would appear here?"

Lin Fan was immediately exhilarated.

Lin Fan knew that the Holy Dragon Fruit was an absolute treasure.

Even in his own world, it was a definite treasure.

It’s no exaggeration to say that an Earth Martial Level cultivator who refines just one-tenth of a Holy Dragon Fruit could instantly ascend to the Heavenly Martial Level...

Even Saint Ascension level experts would see a significant enhancement in their cultivation after consuming the Holy Dragon Fruit.

It is known that once one’s cultivation reaches the Saint Ascension Realm, even advancing a small realm is extremely difficult.

No wonder these Saint Ascension level experts are so mad.
