On this day.
It was the day Lin Fan's army set off.
Huang Ce sent six military officials to Liujing Village to send them off. These six military officials happened to be the ones who were dissatisfied with Lin Fan. First, they felt that Lin Fan's promotion to Grand Marshal of the military had hindered their chances of promotion and stolen their limelight.
Moreover, Lin Fan did not toast to them one by one at the wedding banquet and neglected them, which made them very dissatisfied.
Now, using this opportunity, they could not help but ridicule Lin Fan.
After drinking wine, they said some things. Although they seemed to be well-wishes on the surface, there was a hint of mockery in their words.
A fat, round-faced official with a smiling face said with a fake smile, "General Lin's martial arts are unparalleled. This time, you will definitely win the battle. Let me propose a toast to General Lin … I wish for General Lin's success."
"Success immediately?
Aren't you saying it too lightly? Those itinerant cultivators are not to be trifled with. They kill without batting an eyelid. A few years ago, His Majesty sent a general to wipe them out. What happened?
He never returned … I hope General Lin won't follow in his footsteps.
Haha, I'm just joking … "An official with a long, donkey-faced face sneered after saying that.
The sarcasm in his voice grew even stronger.
"That makes sense. You have to know that there's always someone better than you. If you're too arrogant, you'll suffer in the end," an old military official concluded as he stared at Lin Fan.
…
Lin Fan was not a fool. He had already heard that the reason Huang Ce sent him out to wipe out itinerant cultivators was because of this group of officials.
This group of officials had accused him many times behind his back.
This group of muddle-headed and incompetent officials only knew how to ride roughshod over others. When the country was in trouble, they became cowards. Back then, when the An Kingdom's Crown Prince rebelled.
All of them evaded responsibility but recommended Lin Fan in every way possible. Now, Lin Fan had returned with meritorious service.
They accused him in every way possible for currying favor with those in power.
Getting rid of the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness … It was simply too detestable!
According to Lin Fan's temperament, these people should have been killed on the spot.
And now, although these officials were here to see him off, their faces were repulsive and their words were abominable. How could Lin Fan tolerate them?
Although they were officials of the Empire, touching them for no reason was equivalent to challenging Huang Ce.
Even if he didn't kill them, teaching them a lesson wouldn't be a problem at all.
When he thought of this, Lin Fan's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Guys, if you have something to say, just say it. It's okay. I don't like to snitch, unlike some people who like to speak ill of others behind their backs.
Despicable scum … "
Before Lin Fan could finish his sentence, a military officer suddenly stepped forward, pointed at Lin Fan and said, "General.
Who are you calling a despicable person?! "
"That's right, you're making oblique accusations, aren't you?
We don't tolerate sand in our eyes. "
"How rude. We came to see him off with good intentions, but he, he actually scolded us.
How uncultured! "
The group of officials began to criticize Lin Fan. Their words were furious, and it looked like they were about to scold Lin Fan.
They thought that Lin Fan wouldn't dare to touch them because they were officials of the Empire.
Therefore, they were fearless.
At this time, even Lin Fan's personal guards couldn't stand it and drew their immortal swords.
They glared at the group of officials.
Lin Fan saw that these officials were becoming more and more abominable.
He laughed coldly and said, "Hmph, do you really think that you're officials of the Empire?
That I wouldn't dare to touch you, right?
You think too highly of yourselves. You're a bunch of incompetent people. In my eyes, you're worse than pigs and dogs. Today, I'll teach you a lesson so that you won't never grow up … "
"What, you, you dare to touch us?"
"You, you dare!"
The few military officials were all Primal Core experts. When they saw that Lin Fan was about to attack, they immediately stood back to back and drew their divine weapons.
Lin Fan laughed coldly and released the Spirit-Fixing Disc. Once the Spirit-Fixing Disc was out, it released a light screen that enveloped the six officials.
Lin Fan was now at the Divine Immortal stage.
He could condense a thunder elephant.
His overall strength could challenge experts at the Divine Immortal stage and above. The few Primal Core officials were no match for him at all.
As Lin Fan's cultivation base increased, the Spirit Fixing Plate's power also increased. After the light screen shone down, the six officials struggled with all their might, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break the light screen. Their faces were filled with extreme anger and fear.
They pointed at Lin Fan and scolded him one after another.
"Scold me all you want. The fiercer you scold, the angrier I get. The angrier I get, the more ruthless I'll be when I teach you a lesson."
Lin Fan laughed coldly and disdainfully. He took out the Heaven and Earth Whip and lashed it at the six officials under the Spirit-Fixing Disc.
Under such a large light screen, the six officials couldn't dodge at all. They immediately put up a shield of soldier aura, but what they didn't expect was that Lin Fan added a layer of dragon aura to the whip.
The dragon aura was above the soldier aura.
After their soldier aura shields were whipped, they shattered one after another.
Then, when the whip lashed on their bodies, blood immediately flowed out, and the sharp pain struck their hearts.
Under the Spirit-Fixing Disc, the officials wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves.
Seeing Lin Fan abuse the officials of the Empire, his personal guards were very unhappy, but they were also a little nervous. After all, the ones being taught a lesson were the officials of the Empire, and this was no small matter.
If it were them, they definitely wouldn't have dared to do anything to these officials. Lin Fan's courage made them admire Lin Fan from the bottom of their hearts.
These officials were used to living like princes, and they had never been hurt like this. Under the sharp pain, they couldn't help but scream shrilly. They didn't have the strength to scold Lin Fan anymore.
Lin Fan couldn't stop after lashing his hand. He laughed and said, "Does it feel good?
Why don't you scold me?
Come on, scold me, the more you scold me, the more I'll be motivated to whip you … "
Crack!
Crack!
Crack! Crack!
The whip sped up, and each crack was faster than the previous one.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah …
The officials' screams gradually became weaker, and each one was more miserable than the previous one.
Lin Fan said, "If you don't want to suffer, kneel down and beg me, or I'll whip you to death today …"
These officials were a bunch of cowards. They couldn't bear the pain and were afraid of death. At this time, one by one, they knelt down and begged, "Please, General Lin, spare us."
"Haha, a bunch of trash!"
Lin Fan stopped lashing, put away the Heaven and Earth Whip, and put away the Spirit Fixing Disk. He walked to the officials who were covered in cuts and bruises, and kicked them a few times, saying, "Hurry up and get lost. Go and report me to the Emperor. I know you like to do this kind of thing. Hurry up and go. Let me tell you, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of anything!
Haha … "
After beating up a few military officials, Lin Fan's anger was vented. He put everything aside and set off with the army.
Thirty-one Ten Thousand Position Ring Spirit Arrays, eleven Thousand Position Ring Spirit Arrays, and nearly a million troops left Liujing Village in a grandiose manner, heading towards the territory of the rogue cultivators.
Lin Fan still had some understanding of the rogue cultivators. He had once stayed in the territory of the rogue cultivators. At this time, Lin Fan thought of the Immortal City Mirage.
When he thought of the pavilion in the sky, he yearned for it. He thought to himself, That Immortal City Mirage is the territory of rogue cultivators. Why don't I attack it and take it for myself? This way, I can satisfy myself and also deal a blow to rogue cultivators.
It was the best of both worlds!
Thinking of this, Lin Fan ordered the troops to change direction and head in the direction of the Immortal City Mirage.
Along the way, they encountered a lot of rogue cultivators. When those rogue cultivators saw such a large army, they naturally avoided them. Lin Fan did not make things difficult for them. Killing a few rogue cultivators would not have any effect. There was no meaning in it. It would only cause a meaningless massacre.
Finally, in the evening of the day.
Lin Fan's army arrived at the Immortal City Mirage.
As the sky gradually darkened, the sky also became lively, just like a market.
A building appeared in the sky. The building was richly ornamented with octagonal cornices. It was covered with gold and inlaid with jade. It was extremely gorgeous, like a bejeweled jade palace. It was neatly arranged in two rows, leaving a space as wide as a road in the middle.
It was unknown what the gorgeous building was made of, but it actually stood in the air without falling. In the gorgeous building, there were goods on display. There was a pill shop, a clothing store, a restaurant, and a winery.
A weapon shop … There were also people setting up stalls to do business. There were also many strollers.
Looking at the Mirage of the Immortal City, all the soldiers under Lin Fan's command were astounded.
They yearned for it.
Lin Fan pointed at the bejeweled jade palace in the sky and said, "Brothers, this is the Immortal City Mirage.
That's the Immortal City Mirage. Isn't it beautiful?
"Beautiful, it's too beautiful!" A few of the soldiers shouted excitedly.
"That street is the Heavenly Street. Do you all want to go shopping there?" Lin Fan pointed at the Heavenly Street.
"Yes, very much!" A few of the soldiers and generals said in unison.
"Good. Generals, follow me to surround the Immortal City Mirage and drive away all the rogue cultivators.
Then, the Immortal City Mirage will be ours.
Haha … "
As soon as Lin Fan's voice fell, the army moved and immediately surrounded the Immortal City Mirage.
The Immortal City Mirage, including the rogue cultivators on the Heavenly Street, suddenly attacked and surrounded the place. They were all scared out of their wits and ran around like ants on a hot pan.
They all had a miserable look on their faces.
At this time, there were some bold rogue cultivators who rushed into the sky and cursed, "Which rogue army dares to invade the Immortal City Mirage … Are you looking down on us rogue cultivators too much?"
Lin Fan flew up into the skies as well, facing off against the vagrant cultivators.
Seeing that they were only at the realm of True Essence, he sneered, "Haha.
That's right, we are looking down on you. If you know what's good for you, get out of here quickly. Otherwise, only death awaits. "
When those rogue cultivators saw Lin Fan's cultivation realm, they were so scared that they didn't even dare to fart. They glared at Lin Fan angrily and flew away.
Lin Fan didn't make things difficult for them. He said to the rogue cultivators who were running around on the Heavenly Street below, "People below, listen up.
If you don't want to die, get out of the Immortal City Mirage quickly. "
Before Lin Fan's voice fell.
The rogue cultivators below all fled and came out of the Immortal City Mirage.
Then, they all ran away.
In the end, there wasn't a single person left in the huge Immortal City Mirage. It was like an empty city.
The army moved and occupied the Immortal City Mirage.
"Haha, this Immortal City Mirage is really not bad." When they walked to the Heavenly Street of the Immortal City Mirage, a few personal guards said happily. The soldiers and generals snatched the things that the rogue cultivators abandoned on the Heavenly Street and shouted happily. Lin Fan didn't restrain them. Accompanied by a few personal guards, he walked into a restaurant. There was food and drink in the restaurant, and they enjoyed to their heart's content.
In the end, the goods in the Immortal City Mirage and Heavenly Street, such as treasures and elixirs … all belonged to Lin Fan's army. Lin Fan asked them to take out and distribute them. The soldiers and generals gained a lot of money.
Below the Immortal City Mirage was White Cloud City.
A few years ago, Lin Fan had killed people in the Immortal City Mirage and shocked all the rogue cultivators. Overnight, his notoriety spread far and wide.
The next day, he was invited by the Young City Lord of the White Cloud City, Xia Junjie, to become one of his guests. Later on, due to a verbal conflict, he kidnapped the Big Missy of the White Cloud City, Xia Sayu, and brought her to the wilderness. In the end, not only did the Young City Lord, Xia Junjie, not blame him, he even praised him for his actions.
Then, White Cloud City's City Lord, Xia Hou, became critically ill. A few Young City Lords fought for his position, and Lin Fan participated. In the end, the Young City Lords killed each other, and Xia Junjie had the last laugh.
At that moment, Lin Fan rebelled and stabbed Xia Junjie to death. He killed Xia Hou and became the White Cloud City's City Lord.
Later on, a Young Miss from the Xia Clan tried to assassinate Lin Fan. Lin Fan defeated her in public and obtained the Thousand Leaves Sect's Sun Shooting Bow.
The people from the Thousand Leaves Sect came to retrieve the bow one after another. Lin Fan captured Madam Qianye, and the powerhouses of the Qianye Clan came to seek revenge. Lin Fan had no choice but to leave White Cloud City.
Things had changed. Lin Fan returned to his old place. He looked down at White Cloud City from the window of the restaurant. He was emotional as he recalled the scenes from back then. He wondered who the current City Lord of White Cloud City was.
Perhaps the answer to this question would be revealed tomorrow.
Lin Fan was very excited to revisit his old place, especially at night. It was definitely a great pleasure.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Lin Fan walked out of the restaurant. He did not ask anyone to follow him and walked along Sky Street alone. As he walked, he released An Miaoyi from the Sumeru Ring with a thought.
An Miaoyi had matured after going through a series of hardships.
Now, she no longer resisted Lin Fan and had become obedient.
This was because she knew very well that her father had been defeated and died. She had also become the daughter of a traitor. Everyone in the world had the right to kill her. There was no longer a place for her in the Yellow Dragon Empire.
Even if Lin Fan let her go now, she would not live for long. Sooner or later, she would be killed by her father's former enemies.
Therefore, if she wanted to live in the future and live comfortably, she had to be obedient and stay close to Lin Fan to please him.
With this thought in mind, An Miaoyi did not dare to show her hostility towards Lin Fan even though she still had some animosity towards him. She tried her best to maintain a gentle and amiable appearance. Furthermore, she deliberately dressed herself up, hoping that Lin Fan would not dislike her. In her heart, she also hoped that she could give birth to a child for Lin Fan.
Flowers did not bloom for a hundred days. A woman could not stay young forever. When she became old, she would be abandoned. However, if she gave birth to a child for Lin Fan, she believed that no matter how much Lin Fan disliked her, he would not abandon her.
"Miaoyi, what do you think of this place?" Lin Fan asked as he pointed at Sky Street.
After killing An Guochu and taking over An Miaoyi, Lin Fan's hatred towards the An Family had lessened. An Miaoyi was such a stunner, and Lin Fan had no intentions of letting her go. Furthermore, she was now his woman. All the more reason he couldn't let her go.
Now, he did not resent An Miaoyi. Instead, he hoped to cultivate a relationship with her.
She was the daughter of his enemy. Wanting to turn enemies into friends and lovers was harder than ascending to the heavens.
However, he liked challenging things like this. He liked to make the impossible possible.
"Ah, it's so beautiful!" An Miaoyi said sincerely. "This place seems to be the Immortal City Mirage."
Lin Fan thought that An Miaoyi was indeed a princess. She knew a lot. "Yes, this is the Immortal City Mirage. Let's go and take a look."
The two walked along Sky Street. As they looked at the sky, they felt that the moon and stars above them were very big. They were very bright and very close. It was as if they could reach out and pluck them. The starlight and moonlight were like flowing silver, beautiful and magnificent.
An Miaoyi had been trapped in the spatial ring all day. She had not seen the light of day. Now that she was suddenly released, she stretched her body to her heart's content. She breathed in the fresh air and looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance.
"You can fly around and stretch your muscles." Lin Fan suggested.
An Miaoyi was surprised. "You're not afraid that I'll run away?"
Lin Fan sighed. He stared at An Miaoyi and suddenly changed his mind. He said seriously, "Miaoyi.
My hatred for you has disappeared. Starting tonight, I will not take you seriously.
If you want to leave, you can leave.
You can leave right now. "
An Miaoyi was stunned when she heard this, and she said, "Is that true?"
"Yes." Lin Fan nodded with certainty.
An Miaoyi stared at Lin Fan. Then, she spread her arms decisively and flew into the sky. She was like a bird that had escaped from its cage. Under the starry night sky, she flew into the sky.
Her moving figure was like a fairy that had descended from the heavens.
Looking at the graceful figure flying away, Lin Fan suddenly felt a little disappointed. He turned around and didn't look at her gradually disappearing figure. He stood there silently, thinking to himself that this grudge had finally come to an end.
After a while, he heard a sound behind him. He turned around and found that An Miaoyi had flown back. She stood there with tears on her face.
The two looked at each other for a while.
An Miaoyi ran towards Lin Fan. Lin Fan opened his arms and embraced her.
An Miaoyi said, "Lin Fan, I want to fly away like a bird.
I want to soar freely. But I find that I can't go anywhere. I can't live without you. "
"Miaoyi, you've finally grown up. You've matured. That's good. After all, women are born dependent on men." Lin Fan said meaningfully.
He patted An Miaoyi's shoulder and said, "Now, this Mirage is mine.
You can treat this place as your home. Go.
Have a meal, find an inn, take a bath, and wait for me … "
"Okay." An Miaoyi murmured. She was a little shy. She snuggled in Lin Fan's arms for a while. Then, she turned around and left.
An Miaoyi followed Lin Fan's instructions. She had a meal and found the most luxurious inn. She took a bath and then lay down in a luxurious guest room to wait for him.
During this time, Lin Fan admired the night scenery of Sky Street. He felt that it was getting late. He swept out with his divine sense and quickly found An Miaoyi's place. He walked straight to her.
When he arrived at the inn's room, he saw An Miaoyi wearing a close-fitting translucent feather robe.
Her wet hair spread over her shoulders. She turned her head. Her charming little face had a hint of flirtatiousness. She was a natural seductress.
Lin Fan suddenly felt a little hungry.
…
