Chapter 323: Chapter 324: The Power of the Soul

A senior member of the Lin Family once again stepped forward, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke, "Young Master, if it really is as you say, once we fail, our Lin Family will be beyond redemption!"

Other senior members all nodded in agreement.

Lin Dingtian said indifferently, "The rise of a clan is always the result of a gamble, the fear is that many clans don’t even have the chance to partake in this gamble. Now, we have this opportunity, so we must seize it!"

At this point, Lin Dingtian paused slightly before continuing, "I know many of you here still have many concerns, but... I want to tell you, you are not allowed to have concerns. From now on, you just need to do as I say!"

"Before my son rises and returns, I will stay within the clan, guarding the Lin Family!"

...

The Chaotic Land is the most chaotic place in the entire Nine-state Continent.

As long as you’re powerful enough, here, you can kill at will.

If you kill someone, no one will hold you accountable, though of course, there might be someone seeking revenge.

If you are killed here, your death is in vain; basically, no one will stand up for you.

The Chaotic Land can be said to be a paradise for criminals.

Those who have committed serious crimes within the four great Dynasties, once they escape, will flee here and then add a touch of sin to this place...

Meanwhile, in a basement somewhere in the Chaotic Land.

The basement here was very dark, with a dozen or so people sitting there, men and women alike, all of whom emanated a terrifying aura, indicating their immense strength and also, that they had killed a lot...

"Do you think this guy named Lin Fan, can he escape to our Chaotic Land?" someone suddenly said.

Another person shook their head, saying, "It’s too hard, although we’ve been paying attention since the day he was wanted by the Dasong Dynasty, because if he really could escape the pursuit of the Dasong Dynasty, he would have already arrived in the Chaotic Land. But now, he hasn’t shown up, he might already be dead!"

"Yeah, I also think, it’s impossible for Lin Fan to come to the Chaotic Land! Those who can’t stay in the four great Dynasties all want to come to the Chaotic Land, but the Chaotic Land is not so easy to enter!"

"Another thing, Lin Fan’s cultivation is still very weak. With such strength, if he can escape the Dasong Dynasty’s pursuit, then the Dasong Dynasty is truly weak."

As everyone was discussing fervently, little did they know, an uninvited guest had already arrived outside the Chaotic Land, and would soon enter.

This uninvited guest was none other than Lin Fan.

For others, to dodge the manhunt of the Dasong Dynasty would be extremely difficult; normally speaking, let alone Lin Fan who hasn’t even reached the Heavenly Profound Realm, even Saint Ascension-level experts would likely be unable to sneak from the Dasong Dynasty directly to the Chaotic Land unnoticed.

But...

All of this was way too simple for Lin Fan!

Lin Fan altered his appearance using the power of his will, successfully disguising himself.

Then, through his powerful soul force, he changed the aura of his soul.

Thus, Lin Fan arrived outside the Chaotic Land without any obstacles.

When Lin Fan arrived just outside the Chaotic Land, within the Dasong Dynasty...

Someone reported to Song Jing, "Your Majesty, Lin Fan has vanished into thin air, we simply cannot find him. The warrant we issued is like a stone sunk into the sea, completely ineffective!"

"Hmm,"

Song Jing’s brows knitted slightly as he coldly said, "It seems that the useless in our Dasong Dynasty are indeed becoming more and more numerous!"

After hearing Song Jing’s words, the reporter knew that Song Jing was in a very bad mood, and thus dared not speak.

After a pause, Song Jing spoke again, "Send out letters to the other three great Dynasties. If he has fled to another Dynasty, I want him to have nowhere to lay his body in death!"

"Yes!"

After the person responded, he hesitated, "But... Your Majesty, could he have gone to the Chaotic Land?"

Song Jing laughed and said, "Rest assured, if he has really gone to the Chaotic Land, he won’t survive!"

The man looked puzzled at Song Jing, but ultimately he didn’t speak and silently withdrew.

Song Jing paced back and forth several steps, then raised his head to look at the sky and said softly, "Master, the power you left for me in the Chaotic Land was originally intended for me to use when contending for the imperial throne. Fortunately, my luck was good and I didn’t need to employ the power you left me when I contended for the throne. But now... it can finally come into play, of course, that’s only if he has truly gone to the Chaotic Land!"

"However, I think, with his little bit of strength, he wouldn’t have the guts to go to the Chaotic Land!"

"After all, his strength is too weak. If he really went to the Chaotic Land, it would just be courting death!"

...

Lin Fan stopped by the side of a river.

Technically, this place still belonged to the Dasong Dynasty.

But...

Once crossing this river, it would no longer belong to the Dasong Dynasty.

On the other side of the Dasong Dynasty, it seemed like a different world.

There, lies the legendary Chaotic Land!

The river was wide, said to be filled with various dangers, which could launch unprovoked attacks, delivering incredibly powerful blows, perhaps even Saint Ascension-level experts might not be able to withstand.

Therefore, no one dares to fly high across it!

It is said that those who relied on their strong powers planned to fly over from above, but in the end, they were all killed by mysterious energy.

There are many ferries above the river!

They ferry people from this side of the Dasong Dynasty to the Chaotic Land.

Lin Fan concealed all his cultivation, making it impossible for others to see his true strength.

The reason Lin Fan did this was actually for self-preservation.

You must know, in the Chaotic Land, those who haven’t reached the cultivation level of Heavenly Profound Realm are at the absolute bottom. If people were to know about his cultivation level, it’s estimated that even any Tom, Dick, or Harry would want to kill him after they found out.

However, after hiding his cultivation level, others couldn’t see his true situation. Under these circumstances, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

A ferry stopped not far from Lin Fan. The ferryman was a tall and thin man with a harmless smile on his face.

Lin Fan glanced at the ferryman. Despite the ferryman’s affable appearance, Lin Fan knew that all this was just a facade. If the ferryman were truly harmless, he wouldn’t have been able to ferry here and would have been killed by others long ago!

"Hehe!"

The ferryman chuckled and asked, "Do you wish to cross the river, sir?"

Lin Fan nodded.

The ferryman continued, "Get on board then, I’ll take you across."

Lin Fan calmly asked, "How much do you charge?"

The ferryman chuckled and said, "Well... there’s no rush, you can pay whatever you deem fit after reaching the Chaotic Land. I’m not a greedy man, cough cough cough, I really am not greedy, whatever you give is fine!"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I am a straightforward person; I prefer to agree on a price first!"

The ferryman replied, "Since the gentleman is straightforward, let’s be frank, the crossing fee really isn’t high... it’s only... one hundred thousand Elemental Stones!"

After a brief pause, the ferryman added, "That’s right, Upper Grade Elemental Stones!"

One hundred thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones

Even small families couldn’t afford such an amount.

But...

This is just for crossing the river!

The ferryman’s asking price was so high

This, was simply exorbitant!

Is this what he calls not being greedy?

If this is not considered greed, then honestly speaking, there’s no greed left in this world!

Lin Fan’s brows slightly furrowed, to be honest, he also felt the price was steep.

Truth be told, he could easily afford one hundred thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones.

But Lin Fan didn’t want to be the sucker.

Lin Fan said with a grave voice, "Ferryman, to be frank, your fee is just too high. Don’t you feel guilty for charging so much?"

The ferryman chuckled and said, "It’s not high at all, my fee is reasonable and within regulation. Honestly, it’s not high at all. To tell the truth, this is because there aren’t any pursuers behind you, that’s why my fee is already very low. If... you had pursuers behind you, the fee would be at least double this amount!"

"You... really know how to do business!"

Lin Fan said flatly.

The ferryman, as if he didn’t hear Lin Fan’s sarcasm, asked, "Sir, are you still going to take the ferry?"

Without a word, Lin Fan jumped onto the ferry and said, "Let’s set sail!"

"This..."

The ferryman said, "Sir, we have rules in our trade. So, please pay the Elemental Stones first. Of course, if you don’t have enough Elemental Stones on you, you can leave a wisp of soul force with me. Once you’ve gathered enough Elemental Stones in the Chaotic Land, you can redeem your soul force back!"

A strange smile appeared on Lin Fan’s face as he asked, "This... works?"

The ferryman nodded and replied, "Yes, this works."

After a pause, the ferryman added, "So sir, how would you like to proceed?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I’ll leave you a wisp of soul force."

"Good!"

The ferryman gleefully agreed.

At this moment, the ferryman’s heart was overjoyed.

Once Lin Fan’s soul force was in his hands, he could control him for life.

The ferryman thought to himself, "How wonderful, I have yet another person to earn money for me, hehe!"
