Chapter 745: Chapter 745: Golden Corpse Sealing Demon Array

"Golden Corpse!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

The Third Elder naturally wouldn’t know how well Lin Fan understood these words ’Golden Corpse.’

He was one of the Five Corpses, under his command back then, the only one among the Five who wasn’t one of his beloved allies during the battle to pacify the Nine Corpses.

As an entity with powerful defensive power, his strength was definitely no less than that of the Drought Corpse, and it could be said that the two were equally matched.

The reason Lin Fan had been able to subdue him was precisely because he had accidentally obtained the Xuanyuan Sword back then.

The might of this ancient Divine Artifact was an absolute natural nemesis of the Golden Corpse, thus after being defeated, the Golden Corpse submitted.

Therefore, upon hearing this news, Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel elated.

But after some thought, he decided that he should not destroy the Sealing Demon Array after all.

After all, the Golden Corpse had submitted in the past because of the Xuanyuan Sword in his possession.

He knew this guy well, a fellow who worshipped the strong.

If he were released now, when he had not yet recovered his full strength and did not have the Xuanyuan Sword at hand,

then it was very possible that this fellow would turn on him, a consequence that he could not afford.

"The one sealed inside here is really the Golden Corpse? What proof do you have?"

Lin Fan asked curiously, furrowing his brows.

"Yes, I have an ancestral stele as evidence!"

Originally thinking that Lin Fan would ask what a Golden Corpse was, he hadn’t expected him to seem to already know.

Although the Third Elder was curious, he still led Lin Fan toward the other side of the village.

Soon, several steles starkly appeared there, using the oracular bone script from the Yin Dynasty era.

Due to its long history, much of this script had been lost here, and the Third Elder could only recognize a small part of it.

But Lin Fan could see it clearly; indeed, here it was recorded, the place where the Golden Corpse was sealed.

According to the stele, back in the day when the Yin Dynasty was disastrously defeated, the captured Golden Corpse, impervious to both weapons and the elements, could not be killed.

Thus, they set up the Sealing Demon Array to imprison him here and handed over the guardianship to a demon-exorcising family.

"Actually, the original demon-exorcising family had gradually declined due to lineal decay. My Zhou Family was originally just a servant family for the demon-exorcists. Later, due to a marriage alliance, the Zhou Family gradually grew stronger, so eventually it became the Tomb Guardian..."

Speaking of this, the Third Elder couldn’t help but lament the cruelty of the world, and as generations multiplied, more and more problems emerged.

"This Sealing Demon Array had several outbursts, each causing many Tomb Guardians to be lost, so gradually, the bitter fruit of consanguineous marriages began to ferment, and the vitality of descendants grew weaker and weaker. To prevent the family from perishing, we thus opened up the outer space and gradually introduced new blood for reproduction, which is why the outside world always thought that we were merely a Martial Cultivator family that had been around for a few hundred years."

"That’s quite interesting!"

After hearing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but rub his chin.

But now he finally understood why there was an ancient array outside.

Now everything made sense.

"This incident is definitely caused by Zhou Tianfu’s personal desires. From the beginning, I’ve said that this girl is not ordinary. She comes and goes as she pleases, and absolutely cannot be detained. But Zhou Tianfu deliberately did so, intending to conceal it, and I also just found out after investigating, so I hope the master will no longer pursue this matter."

The Third Elder bowed his head, looking at Lin Fan with a respectful expression.

"Third Elder, do you can read faces?"

Lin Fan looked at the Third Elder smiling, the recent conversation with Zhou Tianfu also giving a glimpse into the matter.

"I know a little."

At this moment, the Third Elder naturally couldn’t tell a lie.

"Well, then you can just give me a reading."

Lin Fan’s words made the Third Elder’s body involuntarily shudder.

He never even lifted his head.

"In fact, I recognized long ago that the nobleman before me has the bearing of a monarch and the looks of an emperor, matchless and unparalleled in ancient and modern times. My knowledge in these arts is shallow, and I can only glimpse the surface; I truly dare not show off in your presence!"

"Interesting, very interesting indeed!"

Lin Fan, with his arms crossed, smiled and said, "Alright, since the incident has already occurred, and the involved party has been killed, let’s turn the page on this matter. However, the downfall of two generations of experts was indeed quite ruthless."

"They brought it upon themselves. This matter should solely be blamed on Zhou Tianfu himself. I will explain everything clearly to my clan, and I guarantee no one will vent their anger on you!"

The third elder hastily spoke.

It must be said, the old man knew how to conduct himself.

"Whether they vent their anger or not isn’t important, but you’ve been guarding the array tediously, and practicing such a cultivation technique is truly a waste of effort. Since you’ve guarded the Sealing Demon Array for so many years and have had your share of hardships though no merit, why don’t I pass on a new cultivation technique to you, guaranteed to enhance your strength significantly."

Lin Fan’s words stunned the third elder, who never expected that Lin Fan would not only not blame the Zhou Family but also wanted to impart a cultivation technique.

Such an opportunity was rare in a thousand years.

"If the nobleman could guide us, my Zhou Family will forever be grateful!"

"No need to be so polite—it’s just a greeting gift for the inconvenience my wife has caused by staying here."

Lin Fan wanted to pass on the cultivation technique, of course, to better seal this golden corpse.

Otherwise, if it managed to escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He also needed to hurry up and find the Xuanyuan Sword.

With its assistance, he could return to deal with the golden corpse.

"The nobleman’s ability to not resent the petty is truly a blessing for my Zhou Family. Since the banquet has not started this evening, how about inviting the nobleman to join, and I can explain things to my clan in person."

The third elder looked gratefully at Lin Fan.

"Alright, you go back first, I’ll go fetch Zhao Jiaqi!"

As Lin Fan spoke, his figure shot off towards the distance.

Leaving the third elder standing there, sighing repeatedly.

Zhou Tianfu truly brought disaster, fortunately, the situation was finally calmed.

Now he needed to go find his clan to arrange the next steps.

Lin Fan quickly reached the hillside, where Zhao Jiaqi was currently being held by Xu Zhi Rou, lying on the lawn.

"Is it all done?"

Looking at Lin Fan returning, Xu Zhi Rou asked curiously.

"Do you really think I’m a demon king? How could I lay a hand on so many vulnerable elderly, women, and children here?"

Lin Fan said, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Though he could be brutal, that was only towards enemies.

He would never kill such powerless ordinary people, not in his past life or now.

"I knew it would end like this. So, shall we head back now?"

Xu Zhi Rou asked, smiling playfully.

The memories from her dreams slowly became complete.

He was still the hero standing tall and proud.

"It seems we can’t leave just yet, because I need to reinforce the golden corpse here."

Once Lin Fan had explained everything from beginning to end, Xu Zhi Rou also couldn’t help but be stunned.

"If the golden corpse senses you outside, it’ll certainly be very eager to come out."
