Chapter 266: Chapter 265: The Ten Young Masters of Sky Star

"As for the Dragon Subduing Old Thief, he could never imagine that I would leave the Sky Star Sect!"

Lin Fan said solemnly.

Liu Rumei looked at Lin Fan, and after a long while, she asked, "Have you decided?"

Lin Fan nodded and answered seriously, "Yes, I have decided."

That night!

In a certain place within the Inner Court of the Sky Star Sect, two people stood quietly.

These two people were none other than Liu Rumei and Lin Fan.

Liu Rumei looked at Lin Fan, still somewhat uneasy, and said, "Lin Fan, are you really sure? If you stayed in the Inner Court of the Sky Star Sect, you would generally be safe, but once you leave the Inner Court, you will definitely face immense dangers."

At this point, Liu Rumei paused slightly and then continued, "Even... you might perish!"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Aunt Rumei, thank you for your care these days, but I have made up my mind. This time, I must leave no matter what, even if there are seas of fire and mountains of knives ahead, I will not hesitate!"

"Alright!"

Liu Rumei finally said helplessly.

The next moment, Liu Rumei waved her hand, and three energy beads appeared, saying, "Keep these three beads with you, they might save your life at a critical moment! You just need to crush the beads, and they can unleash a strike equivalent to a Saint Ascension-level expert."

Lin Fan’s expression changed and said, "Essence Orbs?"

The so-called Essence Orbs are formed by Saint Ascension-level experts forcibly condensing their whole body’s energy into beads, which can unleash a strike equivalent to a Saint Ascension-level expert when exploded. However, creating Essence Orbs causes great harm to oneself, and it generally takes at least half a year to recover the lost essence.

Under normal circumstances, unless it is for their closest descendants, generally, Saint Ascension-level experts would not create Essence Orbs.

Liu Rumei was somewhat surprised and asked, "You know about Essence Orbs?"

Lin Fan did not answer Liu Rumei’s question but respectfully said, "Aunt Rumei, thank you very much."

Liu Rumei smiled and said, "As long as you are safe, everything else is easy to handle..."

Lin Fan did not speak but silently took the Essence Orbs.

Lin Fan knew very well that although the Essence Orbs were extremely precious, if he did not accept them, wouldn’t he be letting down Liu Rumei’s kind intentions?

"Alright, since you have decided to leave, then you should depart now!" Liu Rumei said.

Lin Fan didn’t say much, just nodded silently, turned around, and slowly left. Eventually, his figure turned into a small black dot and completely disappeared into the darkness.

"Sigh!"

After Lin Fan completely left, Liu Rumei sighed softly and thought to herself: "Lin Fan, hopefully, your decision is the right one, and I hope you can safely reach the Imperial City."

Liu Rumei knew that the journey would inevitably be full of hardships and extreme danger.

If there was a choice, Liu Rumei would definitely not let Lin Fan leave alone.

But Liu Rumei also knew, since Lin Fan had decided, persuading him would be futile.

Thus, having no choice, Liu Rumei could only let Lin Fan leave...

After leaving, Lin Fan found a secluded place to change his appearance.

Now, Lin Fan was using his willpower to disguise himself, even changing his soul’s aura, so after the disguise, few people could recognize him.

After disguising himself, Lin Fan held the Token given by Liu Rumei and left the Sky Star realm directly.

Afterward, Lin Fan headed directly towards Sky Star City.

Actually, Sky Star City is not a real city, but because of the Sky Star Sect, people gradually gathered here, and it became a supermassive city. Sky Star City has no City Lord; it is generally accepted that the Sect Leader of the Sky Star Sect is the City Lord of the Sky Star City.

Under normal circumstances, the Sky Star Sect also maintains the safety of Sky Star City.

No one dares to cause trouble in Sky Star City, because doing so would mean opposing the Sky Star Sect.

On his way to Sky Star City, Lin Fan naturally encountered many cultivators.

Cultivators at the late period of the Earth Profound Realm are already quite strong in the entirety of the Barbarian lands, so generally, people did not bother Lin Fan, and Lin Fan, happy for the peace, did not provoke anyone else.

Finally, after half a day, Lin Fan was near Sky Star City and could soon enter the city.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lin Fan’s brows slightly furrowed.

Just a moment ago, a very uneasy feeling spread throughout his whole body, and Lin Fan alarmingly felt as though death itself had locked onto him, an extremely uncomfortable sensation.

"What is happening?"

Lin Fan was greatly shocked in his heart.

However, Lin Fan still forced himself to regain composure. He was shocked internally, but his face remained calm.

Lin Fan casually glanced towards the source of the danger.

Upon looking, Lin Fan felt all the pores on his body blast open, and all his hairs stood on end.

He saw an elderly figure approaching slowly.

The elder walked at a slow pace and he looked very weak at this moment. The other people who saw him didn’t pay him any attention, thinking he was just an ordinary old man.

But Lin Fan was still horrified.

Because...

The approaching elder was actually Old Dragon Subduing?

It was evident that Old Dragon Subduing was seriously injured. He was staggering while walking, and his complexion had turned extremely pale, devoid of any blood.

"Damn it!"

Lin Fan cursed inwardly, "It’s really a small world, to encounter him here?"

Lin Fan forced himself even more to maintain his calm.

Because Lin Fan understood that at this moment, he couldn’t afford any stir of emotion. If Old Dragon Subduing noticed something off about him, he would be undoubtedly doomed. Despite Old Dragon Subduing’s frail appearance, he was a Saint Ascension level expert and also claimed to be the Barbarian’s greatest expert; a starving camel is bigger than a horse – killing Lin Fan would be effortless for him.

"Hmm?"

At this time, Old Dragon Subduing seemed to have noticed something and suddenly stopped. He then looked towards Lin Fan.

Because in that fleeting moment, Old Dragon Subduing sensed Lin Fan’s aura.

Although the aura was elusive and fleeting, Old Dragon Subduing still distinctly captured it.

"Is that the little beast?"

Old Dragon Subduing pondered inwardly, his killing intent surging fiercely, deciding that if he really encountered Lin Fan, he would eliminate him at all costs.

"No, that’s not right!"

After scrutinizing Lin Fan carefully, Old Dragon Subduing shook his head and thought to himself: "This isn’t the little beast!"

Old Dragon Subduing was very confident. Even if Lin Fan had disguised himself, his soul’s aura was impossible to alter. He had just examined Lin Fan’s soul’s aura, which confirmed that the young man before him was not Lin Fan.

"However, since I sensed that little beast’s aura earlier, could it be that he is nearby?"

After glancing at Lin Fan once more, Old Dragon Subduing continued on his staggering steps forward.

"That was close!"

Lin Fan was sweating profusely, thinking to himself.

The situation just now was indeed very dangerous; he almost got exposed.

Only after Old Dragon Subduing had entered Sky Star City for quite a while did Lin Fan quietly enter Sky Star City as well.

Sky Star City was bustling to the extreme.

Truth be told, this was Lin Fan’s first visit to Sky Star City, and he couldn’t help but feel emotional upon seeing such prosperity.

Moreover, the public security within Sky Star City was excellent, because normally, no one dared to cause trouble here.

Walking around, Lin Fan experienced many things he had never witnessed before.

Unknowingly, night had fallen, and Lin Fan found an inn to stay in.

However, Lin Fan did not immediately return to his room but sat in the lobby, quietly drinking tea, essentially eavesdropping on the conversations of people around.

To be honest, Lin Fan was still unfamiliar with Sky Star City. He learned a lot about Sky Star City from overhearing others’ conversations, such as the several major powers within the city that generally represent the Sky Star Sect for managing the city’s public order. If anyone caused trouble, these powers would intervene first, and if they couldn’t handle the situation, only then would the Sky Star Sect appear.

Additionally, inside Sky Star City, a very interesting event had recently arisen that caught everyone’s attention.

It was widely discussed as the "Sky Star Ten Young."

The so-called Sky Star Ten Young were the most dazzling ten talents among the younger generation in Sky Star City, representing the peak strength of the younger generation there.

Originally, the Sky Star Ten Young were quite low-profile, primarily focusing silently on cultivation and not meddling in worldly affairs. However, the reason they have become so noteworthy lately was due to the upcoming enrollment period of the Royal Academy.

It was said that during this period, the Sky Star Ten Young were also competing and fighting amongst themselves, aiming to outshine the others. This way, when it came time for the Royal Academy to enroll students, they would have fewer competitors.

"It seems, these so-called Sky Star Ten Young are quite extraordinary!"

Lin Fan thought to himself.

Even at this moment, a thought occurred to Lin Fan, a desire to compete with the Sky Star Ten Young. After all, being so illustrious within Sky Star City, Lin Fan wanted to challenge one of them to see whether he was more formidable or the Sky Star Ten Young were stronger.

However, Lin Fan quickly suppressed this thought. After all, he was currently in disguise. Besides, Old Dragon Subduing was in Sky Star City, so it was better to keep a low profile, otherwise, if Old Dragon Subduing detected any clue, it would ultimately lead to trouble.
