Chapter 334: Chapter 334: A Big Shot is Here

After Lin Xi had rested for a day and a night, her supernatural power had recovered considerably, giving her enough strength to deal with any crises. She then ordered the group to set off.

Gu Fan was also preparing, but he was preoccupied. He was so distracted he didn’t realize that Lin Xi had come to his side.

When Gu Fan noticed Lin Xi, he jumped in fright. Seeing her solemn expression, Gu Fan felt a little guilty, "You wanted to talk to me about something?"

Lin Xi nodded and said, "No matter what happens today, whether it’s right or wrong, no matter what the outcome, always remember one thing. Do what you believe is right, take on the responsibility you must bear."

"What do you mean?" Gu Fan felt a bit panicked, wondering whether Lin Xi had discovered his plan already.

Suddenly, the sound of machines caught everyone’s attention. Snowmobiles rode towards them, charging at Gu Fan and Lin Xi’s camp.

"Who’s there?" Du Jun furrowed his brows, gesturing Qin Jia to stand behind him, as he signaled everyone to be on guard.

Su Hui, Lu Yi, and Jie seemed to know who was coming. They showed no surprise, their expressions tense. They didn’t know what would happen next.

Hearing the sound of the snowmobiles, Lin Xi knew a group was approaching. She didn’t seem to care, instead staring at Gu Fan, as if trying to see through his thoughts. Gu Fan felt quite uneasy.

"Go ahead, do what you think you should do," Lin Xi’s words surprised Gu Fan. After some hesitation, Gu Fan started walking towards the approaching snowmobilers.

When the leader removed his helmet and revealed his face, everyone was horrified. This was the only demon in the world who had achieved immortality, wasn’t it?

Seeing everyone’s shocked faces, the boss laughed. Seeing Gu Fan stepping out of the crowd, the boss laughed even harder, "You said you had found something. Don’t disappoint me by showing up empty-handed."

Hearing these words, everyone understood: "What? Gu Fan, you colluded with the demon?"

"What? He’s the demon?" Old man Tian was even more shocked. Feeling the evil aura emanating from the boss, his heart shivered in fear.

Gu Fan stood before the boss and said carefully: "I’ll give it to you. Where’s Leng Le?"

"Don’t worry, I bring her wherever I go." The boss said with a smirk, before snapping his fingers.

A woman, a subordinate, was pushing Leng Le towards them. But it kept a safe distance from Gu Fan, just close enough for him to see her.

Gu Fan saw Leng Le’s haggard appearance. There was a tinge of guilt in his heart. As her boyfriend, he should have protected Leng Le. He never expected that he would bring trouble to her.

At this point, Du Jun and the others realized why Gu Fan had colluded with the boss: he was holding a hostage.

"Alright, you’ve seen the person. She’s fine. Now, what do you have for me?" The boss looked expectant. Gu Fan obediently took out two drawings. But before he could hand them over, someone yelled out, "Damn you, Gu Fan! You’re betraying us!"

Du Changhui snorted, "Attack!"

One by one, the people from the ancient town, filled with resentment, brandished their stun guns at Lu Yi, Jie, and Xu Haowen, ready to tear them apart.

However, Su Hui had anticipated this. She swiftly pinned Du Changhui to the ground, her shotgun aimed at his head, "If you don’t want your brains blown out, tell your men to stand down."

"Sister Su, don’t!" Du Jun was extremely worried about escalating the conflict.

Du Changhui didn’t care, "Su Hui, you’ve got one thing wrong. They aren’t my subordinates. The people in the ancient town won’t give up the pursuit of immortality for me. If you kill me today, they won’t stop."

"All of you!" Su Hui looked behind her to see, indeed, several townspeople had gathered around, the situation becoming perilous.

While Du Jun tried to reason with the crowd, "Everybody, don’t be impulsive. Listen to me. Gu Fan, don’t act rashly. If you give the drawings to the demon, it’ll be irreversible."

At this moment, even old man Tian aimed his shotgun at Gu Fan, saying grimly, "Boy, you’re the one who made me break my oath of many years. You’re the one who stirred my desire for eternal life. Now, what the hell are you doing?"

"Old man Tian, I’m sorry. But if your oath of many years was so easily broken by a few words from me, then your resolve is not very strong." As Gu Fan turned around, he saw not just old man Tian’s shotgun aimed at him, but many unfriendly gazes as well.

Although Su Hui had restrained Du Changhui, he still began to scold him, "You rotten kid! We trusted you, let you look after the two drawings, and you betray us!"

To this, Gu Fan scoffed, "Firstly, these two drawings aren’t yours. They were given to me, they belong to me. You used underhanded tactics to take them. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten what you did? Secondly, speaking of betraying, you have also done many things to harm me. We’re even."

Upon hearing this, Du Changhui was at a loss for words. Naturally, he remembered that when Gu Fan had all four drawings, Lin Xi knocked him out and took all of them. It seemed Lin Xi was the first to betray them.

"Since these two drawings are mine, I have the right to handle them, don’t I?" As Gu Fan was about to hand the drawings to the boss, he was warned sternly by old man Tian, "Boy, if you dare, I will shoot."

"Old man, you were right about one thing. One demon is enough. The elder of the Eternal Life Clan didn’t want another demon to be born, that’s why he entrusted you five to keep the drawings separately." Having said this, Gu Fan looked around at those distorted faces from the ancient town, a cold smile appearing on his lips, "Old man, I can tell you one thing. If these people become immortal, they will definitely become demons. Do you have any idea what they have done to pursue immortality?"

Hearing this, Du Jun froze. He finally understood why Gu Fan had betrayed them, because Gu Fan had never trusted them to begin with. The incident with the twelve classmates was still fresh in his mind, and it drove home the point that the people of the ancient town couldn’t be trusted.

However, throughout the entire time, Lin Xi stood there calmly, watching Gu Fan’s every move silently. It was unusually quiet.
