Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Return to Star Country_1

Sizzle... Boom!

Unexpectedly, the heavenly lightning that had been gathering, suddenly dispersed with a booming sound, absorbed once again by the giant black cloud.

In the vertical pupil of the black cloud giant, there appeared a sense of human-like annoyance, as it reluctantly glanced at Ning Fan before reverting back into the clouds in the sky.

The gathering dark clouds also drifted away, and the sunshine poured back onto the deserted island.

Ning Fan watched the heavenly tribulation slowly disperse, filled with an inexplicable feeling.

That black cloud giant seemed quite unwilling to have failed in striking him dead.

Could this thing actually have consciousness?

However, now was not the time to fret over such matters. Ning Fan leapt down from the heights and joined the trio.

"The formation is broken; we can leave now," he said.

Lin Haifeng bowed deeply, expressing his sincere gratitude, "Mr. Ning, I am truly grateful for your help this time. Your great kindness and virtue will forever be etched in my heart!

"It’s of no consequence; you helped me as well. We have simply helped each other," Ning Fan waved his hand dismissively.

Ning Fan was now anxious about Xu Yourong’s situation and was eager to return to Xia Country.

Lin Haifeng observed him and ventured, "Mr. Ning seems to be in a hurry to return home?"

"Yes, my friend is in imminent danger, and I must go back immediately to save her," Ning Fan stated plainly.

After a moment of thought, Lin Haifeng proposed, "Mr. Ning, as the Master of the Lion Hall, if you don’t mind, why not accompany me back to Star Country as a guest?"

"The planes back to Xia Country definitely won’t fly out immediately, and finding a place to stay will be a hassle for you all."

The strength that Ning Fan exhibited was sufficient to make him, the Master of the Lion Hall, wish to win him over.

Being able to effortlessly slay three Gods of Sea from the God of Sea Temple, if he could befriend him, it would undoubtedly be beneficial in the future.

Since he had to pass through Star Country on his way back to Xia Country anyway, Ning Fan casually accepted the invitation.

"Then I’ll take the liberty of imposing on Hall Master Lin."

Because of Lin Yuechan’s concealment, Ning Fan was unaware that Lin Haifeng was actually the father of his former fiancée, whom he had broken off the engagement with.

The four of them left the deserted island, walking on the water, until they encountered a fishing boat nearby, which Lin Haifeng purchased with cash.

Then they boarded the fishing boat and sailed towards Star Country.

Just as they left the island, the Lion Hall underwent earth-shattering changes.

Lion Hall Headquarters.

Lin Yuechan’s face was grim as she gnashed her teeth, "Lin Ping! Are you trying to revolt?"

In front of her, not far away. Lin Ping stood with his hands in his pockets, his face wearing a smug and sinister grin.

To his left and right stood several martial artists with formidable auras.

If Ning Fan and the others were here, they would have recognized them instantly. They were Elder Kong and the Dark Witch, White Witch, and others.

Inside the hall, members of the Lion Hall lay scattered on the ground, wailing in pain.

"That’s right, now that Uncle Lin is dead, it’s only proper for me to inherit the Star Hall," Lin Ping asserted boldly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuechan’s pupils contracted fiercely, "Impossible! My father cannot be dead!"

"Hehe, this news comes from Elder Kong and the esteemed witches, Black and White. Could it be fake?" Lin Ping sneered.

Elder Kong stepped forward and spoke indifferently, "Lin Yuechan, your father is trapped inside the Celestial Forbidden Grounds. The Celestial Forbidden Land Formation opens once every hundred years; his death is certain."

"No, it can’t be!"

Lin Yuechan simply could not believe that her father was dead, and she rushed up to Elder Kong, demanding loudly,

"You’re lying! You’re all deceiving me! You want to usurp the position of the Master of the Star Hall!"

Elder Kong’s eyes grew cold, and just as he was about to strike, Lin Ping stepped forward and slapped Lin Yuechan across the face.

A bright red handprint appeared on Lin Yuechan’s delicate cheek.

She fell to the ground and glared up at Lin Ping.

"Yuechan, I’ve actually liked you for a long time. Now that Uncle Feng is gone, the Lion Hall cannot be without someone to lead it," Lin Ping leaned down and spoke earnestly.

"If you marry me, I assure you I can manage the Lion Hall well and will not let down Uncle Feng’s spirit in heaven!"

Hearing these shameless words, Lin Yuechan almost burst out laughing in anger.

"My father really misjudged you. Who would have thought you’re actually such an ambitious scoundrel! I would rather die than marry you!"

Lin Ping’s eyes flickered dangerously as he grabbed Lin Yuechan’s throat with a backhand, almost choking her.

"Lin Yuechan, do you really think you’re still the Lion Hall’s young mistress?"

"I’m telling you now that you will marry me whether you want to or not!"

"Once you’re married to me, I can rightfully lead the Lion Hall. Then, with husband and wife in harmony, we’ll definitely make the Lion Hall flourish!"

Ignoring Lin Yuechan’s nearly murderous glare, Lin Ping gestured to a few members of the Lion Hall on the ground.

"I’m giving you a chance to make a merit. Take Yuechan home and let her rest well in preparation for our grand wedding," he ordered.

A few members looked at each other, understanding whom fortune favors, and approached with sycophantic smiles.

"Rest assured, Hall Master, we will complete our task perfectly!" they exclaimed.

Before leaving, Elder Kong sealed Lin Yuechan’s meridians to prevent her from causing any trouble.

"Lin Ping! You will not die a good death!"

"After my father looked after you for so many years, you repay kindness with enmity!"

"I would rather die than marry you!"

As Lin Yuechan’s furious curses echoed away, Lin Ping’s expression grew darker.
