Chapter 639: Chapter 639: The Final Battle, Playing All Cards

"Lin Fan!"

When Lin Fan’s car stopped at the gates of Medicine King House,

The voice that reached his ears instinctively made him look up.

But he realized that Qi Qi, who once ran to him like a butterfly, was nowhere to be seen.

And that call he just heard was only a hallucination.

"Ah, damn this parting."

Lin Fan sighed and didn’t know what had gotten into him.

Lately, farewells had been coming far too quickly.

Shangguan Min Yue, Lu Feifei, Li Qiqi, Ni Chang...

As familiar faces vanished one after another, he couldn’t help but lament the unpredictability of life.

"What are you daydreaming about? Everyone’s waiting for you."

Just as Lin Fan was feeling sentimental, the provocatively dressed Zhao Jiaqi came out of the courtyard.

As she looked at Lin Fan standing there in a daze, her gaze fell on the shoebox in his hand.

"Don’t tell me that’s the so-called substitute you’re talking about?"

"What’s wrong with it?"

Lin Fan casually tossed the shoebox to Zhao Jiaqi.

She hurriedly stretched out both hands to catch it.

"Hey, are you insane? Throwing it like that, what if you break the treasure!"

"Don’t worry, how could something that the Onmyoji destroyed with all his might be easily broken?"

Lin Fan walked over to Zhao Jiaqi with a smile.

He casually slapped her on the butt.

"Ah... you lecher!"

Zhao Jiaqi screamed, but with her hands holding the shoebox, she simply couldn’t retaliate.

"Interrupting someone’s sweet dream, and you think you’re in the right? Don’t you know that morning exercise is an important part of life?"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes.

If it were not for her call, he’d have slept in at least once more.

"You and your morning exercise... you’re disgusting!"

Zhao Jiaqi, having caught on, blushed and hurriedly walked forward.

This guy was always so non-serious.

Following behind her, Lin Fan felt a killing intent surging from the direction of the back courtyard.

This wasn’t the killing intent of good versus evil, but the unique aura of warriors who had seen many battles.

And there were so many of them, it was as if an army had gathered.

This made him curious about who exactly had come to the back courtyard.

As Lin Fan walked past the hall to the rear yard,

He saw that the spacious courtyard was already filled with people.

A group of over a hundred individuals clustered together, all wearing completely different outfits.

Whether sitting or standing, at that moment, all eyes turned towards Lin Fan as he entered.

The curiosity in their gaze was tinged with a hint of murderous intent.

"Yo, all experts, huh!"

Lin Fan’s eyes quickly swept across the crowd; these individuals were far from ordinary.

Even the weakest among them must be mighty warriors listed on the Tiger Ranking.

Some wore Taoist robes, some dressed in long gowns, and some even wore coarse hemp clothes.

This strange attire seemed quite out of place in a modern city.

Fortunately, there were no crisply dressed suits, or it would have been even more jarring.

As for Zhao Jiaqi, she ran all the way into the open meditation room.

At that moment, the Divine Emperor was sitting there with Mr. Zhang.

About a dozen others were also sitting on either side.

"Grandfather, Lin Fan has brought the substitute for the Wind Stabilizing Pearl."

Zhao Jiaqi directly presented the shoebox to Mr. Wang.

Fearing that he wouldn’t believe, he immediately opened the lid.

For a moment, the white light that shot out from the box illuminated the spacious meditation room.

Feeling the warm fluctuations, everyone couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

"Isn’t this the Wind Stabilizing Pearl? Since when were there two of these treasures?"

The Dragon Emperor was astonished as he held the pearl in his hand, scrutinizing it carefully.

But whether it was the shape or the glow it emitted, it was exactly the same as the one that had shattered before.

"I’m afraid this is not the Wind Stabilizing Pearl, but the Water Stabilizing Pearl that was stolen over a decade ago!"

The Divine Emperor’s words just happened to reach Lin Fan’s ears as he walked in.

This made his eyes shine with excitement.

"The stolen Water Stabilizing Pearl, are you sure?"

"I’m certain, from where did you obtain this treasure?"

The Divine Emperor Wang Pingshan looked at Lin Fan with conviction.

How had this lost secret treasure appeared in his hands?

"This... I’m afraid is a secret, but I need to know, about this matter of the Water Stabilizing Pearl."

Since the item was stolen, Lin Fan certainly couldn’t say that his mother-in-law had done it.

But how had this mysterious mother-in-law become a thief?

"Let’s talk about this later."

The Divine Emperor was just about to speak when he was interrupted by the Heavenly Master.

Discussing such secretive matters in front of hundreds of people was really not necessary.

And the fact that the treasure had been recovered was also a morale-boosting event.

"Now that the treasure has returned, we can’t wait any longer. I’d trouble the Three Emperors to take a trip personally and place this object within the Innate Eight Diagram Array, in preparation for a surprise attack on our enemies."

"Yes!"

The Three Emperors quickly stood up and closed the lid of the shoebox again.

Hiding it in their sleeve cuffs, the three hurriedly left the grand hall.

With a push of their feet, they disappeared from everyone’s sight.

With the Three Emperors personally escorting it, and given the close distance, nothing significant could go wrong.

"Lin Fan, come, let me introduce you. These are the experts of the Xuan Department who have come to help out this time."

Mr. Zhang the Heavenly Master said smiling, proceeding to introduce Lin Fan to each of the nine squad leaders one by one.

Among them were the teacher of Fairy Xifeng, the Wushan Ancestor, and the teacher of Yang Linglong, the South Sea Divine Nun.

"I have seen several seniors."

Lin Fan clasped his fists and looked around.

However, his gaze lingered a bit longer on the face of a man full of whiskered stubble.

He was one of the nine squad leaders, the Western Ridge Eccentric Saint, and also a top fifty master on the Divine List.

Strong and robust as the living Zhang Fei, when his leopard-like eyes looked at Lin Fan, they clearly carried some profound meaning.

It wasn’t exactly a murderous aura, but there was definitely a sense of dislike.

"In three more days, it will be the day of the Jiazi plan. For many years, the Japanese have coveted our lands, and this time the Onmyoji leading the charge to set up a great formation is a challenge to our Xuanmen. Thus, I hope that the nine leaders will each lead a team to completely disrupt their plans. I, too, will lead from the front, destroy the formation’s core, kill the great demons, and will never allow the Japanese to succeed."

Mr. Zhang the Heavenly Master said, already standing up.

With waves of yellow spiritual qi bursting forth bravely, in a moment, the vast backyard was lit with radiant beams.

"We are willing to follow the Heavenly Master, to exorcise demons, protect the Dao, and guard our great rivers and mountains!"

The rest stood up and shouted loudly.

This was the vow-taking assembly of the Xuan Department.

Yet Lin Fan, who was among them, did not speak.

Instead, he stood aside, watching the crowd as if he were a bystander.

"Lin Fan, why aren’t you speaking up?"

The benevolent-looking South Sea Divine Nun smiled as she looked at Lin Fan.

His behavior was somewhat passive.

"I was injured by the explosion of the Wind Stabilizing Pearl, and my injuries have yet to heal. I’m afraid I won’t be able to contribute my strength in this battle."

But before the South Sea Divine Nun could offer words of comfort, the Western Ridge Eccentric Saint, who had been staring at Lin Fan all along, looked at him with malice.

"The Wind Stabilizing Pearl is a sacred artifact; even if it were damaged, what it emits would be sacred energy. You say you were affected by the Wind Stabilizing Pearl, could it be you practice Evil Skill?"
