It had to be said that Elder Tian's acting skills were very good. He managed to fool the four experts.
The four experts were taken aback and stopped in their tracks.
But of course, there was no way Lin Fan could let Old Heaven off the stage at this moment. With a backhand flick, he flicked away the Immortal Sword that was resting on Old Heaven's neck.
After flicking the immortal sword away, Lin Fan suddenly turned around and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?!"
"Since they don't believe me, I'll use my death to prove my innocence …" Elder Tian said with a stern face.
"If you die, how will we explain to the Territorial Lord?"
Lin Fan stared at him and shouted angrily, "If you want to explain things clearly, you have to live. When you see the Territorial Lord, you can explain things clearly."
Lin Fan said as he turned his head around and swept his gaze at the four powerful beings, "Don't drag me in with your ambiguous words."
When the four experts saw Sky Elder's reaction, they no longer dared to confirm whether he had accidentally injured them or wanted to kill them. Moreover, after Lin Fan's words, they no longer dared to make things difficult for Sky Elder. They immediately retracted the killing intent in their eyes. The 200-year-old old man let out a long sigh and said, "Alright, we'll discuss this matter when we meet the Domain Ruler …"
Then he pointed at Elder Tian and said, "But you'd better be honest. If we find out that you're trying to break the rules again, we'll kill you without mercy."
"Don't worry, I'll supervise him," Lin Fan said and then said to Elder Tian in a commanding tone, "You explore the way in front, we'll follow behind …"
Elder Tian obediently walked in front and walked into the depths of the mountain range. The four experts and Lin Fan walked behind. Lin Fan asked while walking, "Brothers, did you come to Mount Kun to participate in the competition?"
The four experts seemed to be a little secretive. They stammered for a while, but in the end, they did not hide anything. The 200-year-old elder said, "Young Hero Fang, we won't hide anything from you. The four of us came to Mount Kun under the orders of the Territorial Lord in the name of participating in the competition. In fact, we came to find Lin Fan and kill him …"
Lin Fan naturally knew that they came to kill him. He was just asking the obvious. He said, "In that case, let's find Lin Fan together …"
"Now that we've been poisoned by the Yin Qi, our strength is greatly limited. Even if we find Lin Fan, we may not be able to kill him," the 200-year-old elder said sadly and dejectedly..
"You guys think too highly of Lin Fan. Given the cultivation states of the four of you, in addition to the Heaven's Elder and myself, killing Lin Fan would be as easy as flipping our palms." Lin Fan said confidently.
The four of them stared at Lin Fan, and they liked him even more. The 200-year-old elder said, "Young Hero Fang, are you willing to help us kill Lin Fan?"
"Of course, I'm an old friend of the Territorial Lord. Your business is my business. Of course, you saved me once, so I'm indebted to you. I also want to repay you.
Even though my strength is limited, I can still do my best … "
The 200-year-old elder said, "If we really want to talk about saving, it's you who saved us. We should repay you …"
Lin Fan chuckled and waved his hand, "Alright, between us, let's not talk about repayment in the future. As long as we work together to kill Lin Fan, that will be enough … But, I do have a small request …"
The four of them stared at Lin Fan. The 200-year-old elder said, "Young Hero Fang, if you have something to say, just say it. Even if we have to go through water and tread on fire, we'll do it …"
Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "You're exaggerating. Actually, I came to Kun Mountain to participate in the Jie Capital's knockout competition. For the sake of my results, I still have to kill criminals. If I encounter a criminal, I hope you can lend me a hand and make my results look slightly better …"
"That's easy."
"Of course, no problem."
"Since Young Hero Fang has asked, we'll all release our divine senses. While looking for Lin Fan, we'll also try our best to find criminals and help kill them."
The four of them quickly agreed, their tone relaxed and firm.
Lin Fan laughed in his heart. Enemies had become friends, and now they even agreed to help kill criminals. This was too satisfying.
Elder Tian, who was scouting ahead, heard the conversation of the five people behind and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "This Lin Fan is simply … simply too cunning and sinister … If the four of them knew that he was Lin Fan, I wonder if they would be so angry that they would fall to the ground?"
…
In the next four days, the six of them traversed Kun Mountain, searching for criminals and killing them. Lin Fan had Heaven's Eye and could find criminals at any time. With the help of the five people, Lin Fan had a bountiful harvest in these four days. He had beheaded a total of twenty-five criminals. Adding the thirteen from before, he had a total of thirty-eight.
Thirty-eight criminal heads. This result was enough to show disdain for all the participants. It was also possible to break the record for the highest result in the Jie Capital's knockout competition.
Early in the morning, the six of them set off again. Lin Fan opened his Heaven's Eye and quickly found a criminal.
This criminal had the cultivation of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and was very powerful. He walked slowly in the mountain range alone, as if he was the king of the mountains. He was very leisurely.
As a criminal, he didn't hide or hide. He strolled leisurely in Kun Mountain as if he was confident and fearless. He didn't put the participants in his eyes at all.
After Lin Fan found this criminal, he intentionally or unintentionally led them in the direction of the criminal. Soon, he found the criminal.
When the criminal saw the six experts, he couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression. First of all, the six participants were gathered together. This was clearly a miracle. Moreover, the six participants were able to find him, which made him very surprised. At the same time, he also felt a wave of fear in his heart. This was because the six participants were very strong. If they wanted to kill him, he would definitely not be able to escape.
Lin Fan and the rest of the six quickly surrounded the criminal. The criminal knew that he couldn't escape this calamity, but courage was born in his despair. Therefore, he said in a fearless tone, "You can't kill me. I have an old relationship with the King of Kun Mountain. If you kill me, he will sense it. After he knows, he will definitely not forgive you …"
"You have an old relationship with the King of Kun Mountain? Who are you to him?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.
"I was the butler of the King of Kun Mountain …" the criminal said.
"The butler of the King of Kun Mountain?
How did you become a criminal? "
Lin Fan asked again. He wasn't in a hurry to kill this criminal. It didn't matter if he had one more criminal head or one less criminal head. However, if he could get some information about the King of Kun Shan, it would definitely be more valuable than a criminal head.
"The King of Kun Mountain's precious son has become a criminal. Why can't the butler become a criminal?" the criminal asked.
Lin Fan thought about it and agreed. Everyone would commit crimes. If they committed crimes, they would also be arrested. Therefore, he said, "Well, even if you are the butler of the King of Kun Mountain and his old friend, in this vast Kun Mountain, how will the King of Kun Mountain know if we kill you?"
The criminal hesitated and said, "If I tell you, will you not kill me?"
"Of course."
Lin Fan said decisively, "Your life is worthless … Moreover, I have now beheaded more than 300 criminals. It doesn't make a difference if you don't tell me. As long as you tell me honestly, I can let you go …"
The criminal, who was in despair, saw that Lin Fan promised to let him live. Suddenly, hope sprang up in his heart. Therefore, he told Lin Fan everything that the King of Kun Mountain had planted in Kun Mountain.
As it turned out, Kun Mountain, as the territory of the Kun Mountain tribe, had always been under the control of the King of Kun Mountain. It was like his backyard. However, during every ranking competition of the Realm Capital, the officials would occupy this mountain area.
During this period, Kun Mountain was no longer under the control of the King of Kun Mountain. The King of Kun Mountain could not interfere in the matters of the competition.
Because the ranking competition of the Golden Immortals was organized by the Emperor of the Azure Heaven, in the previous competitions, the King of Kun Mountain was well-behaved and did not interfere in the competition.
However, this competition was different. He wanted to take the opportunity to kill Lin Fan and avenge his son, Kun Jiuhu. Therefore, he took advantage of the geographical advantage and planted many informants in Kun Mountain. Of course, these so-called "informants" did not refer to cultivators, but to flower demons and tree demons.
In Kun Mountain, in addition to Divine Beasts, there were only monsters like flower demons and tree demons.
It could also be said that Kun Mountain was a world where Divine Beasts and plant demons coexisted. Divine Beasts were wild and unrestrained, and could not be easily controlled. However, flower demons and tree demons were different. Before they transformed into human form, their strength was extremely weak. Some of them could not even move freely.
At this time, they needed the care of the King of Kun Mountain. Therefore, they wanted to be on good terms with the King of Kun Mountain. In fact, they had a good relationship with the King of Kun Mountain.
These flower demons and tree demons would usually offer some treasures of heaven and earth as tributes to the King of Kun Mountain, such as Spiritual Herbs and Immortal Herbs.
The King of Kun Mountain had these Spiritual Herbs and Immortal Herbs as cultivation resources. Therefore, his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, and he had already stepped into the Purple Mansion Realm.
Now, these flower demons and tree demons were put to use by the King of Kun Mountain. They were used as informants to investigate Lin Fan's whereabouts, so that the King of Kun Mountain could avenge him.
After listening to this criminal's story, Lin Fan felt that he should not be lying. This was because the King of Kun Mountain really wanted to use this opportunity to kill him. However, the four experts beside him were pleasantly surprised when they heard this …
"It turns out that Lin Fan is hated so much. Not only did he offend the Territorial Lord, but the King of Kun Mountain also wants to kill him. This is really the wrath of Heaven and Man.
"Haha, with the King of Kun Mountain as an expert, we have less to worry about."
"Yes, Kun Mountain is the King of Kun Mountain's territory. If the King of Kun Mountain wants to kill Lin Fan, it will be a piece of cake."
The four experts mocked Lin Fan one after another, completely unaware that Lin Fan was right beside them.
After listening to the four experts' words, Elder Sky's gaze wandered between the four experts and Lin Fan. A playful look appeared on his face.
"It seems that the King of Kun Mountain is determined to take Lin Fan's life. Let's just wait and watch the show."
Lin Fan's face was filled with joy. However, he said to the criminal, "The King of Kun Mountain's plan must be very secretive. How did you know about it?"
When the criminal heard the tone of Lin Fan and the others, he thought that these people were on good terms with the King of Kun Mountain. He immediately relaxed and was very happy. Therefore, he told the truth.
"To be honest, the King of Kun Mountain values me very much. He wants to take this opportunity to save me. Moreover, I have already met with the King of Kun Mountain once. My current task is actually to act as an informant and help to find Lin Fan …"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan could not help but smile bitterly. He then asked, "Do you know Lin Fan?"
The criminal shook his head and said, "No, I don't."
"Then how are you going to act as an informant?" Lin Fan smiled playfully.
"Lin Fan is a contestant. If he meets a criminal like me, he will definitely kill him … Lin Fan has a Sun Shooting Bow … Lin Fan is a strong body cultivator … Lin Fan also has a tiger-shaped pet beast. Lin Fan has opened his Third Eye. The Third Eye can shoot lightning. Lin Fan has a lightning mark between his eyebrows …"
As the criminal spoke, he looked at Lin Fan up and down and said, "Lin Fan's cultivation is the same as yours. He is a Daluo Golden Immortal …"
As he spoke, the criminal's gaze focused on the space between Lin Fan's eyebrows. At this time, the others could not help but stare at Lin Fan. They deliberately glanced at the space between Lin Fan's eyebrows. To be precise, there was a red dot between his eyebrows. It was a blood dot that was deliberately drawn by Lin Fan. If not for this blood dot covering it, Lin Fan's identity would have been exposed long ago.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Lin Fan was slightly nervous. He was afraid that they would recognize him, but in the end, it was a false alarm.
They did not associate him with "Lin Fan" at all.
"It's a pity that I haven't found Lin Fan. Have you found any traces of Lin Fan?" The criminal cupped his fists and asked.
"We are also looking for Lin Fan, but we haven't found any traces of him." Lin Fan cupped his hands at the criminal and said, "May I ask if the King of Kun Shan is coming to kill Lin Fan personally this time, or did he send an expert?"
The criminal had already eliminated his hostility toward them. He did not hide anything and said, "The King of Kun Shan is using the Purple Blood Demonic Flower as a spy to find Lin Fan. Once he finds traces of him, he will invite the 10,000-year Tree Demon to kill him …"
"10,000-year Tree Demon?!
Ancestor Tree … "
After hearing these four words, everyone exclaimed. The Purple Blood Demonic Flower was known for its poison and its advantage in numbers. On the other hand, the 10,000-year Tree Demon was known for its strength.
The 10,000-year Tree Demon was known as the Ancestor Tree. It was the strongest expert in Kun Mountain and the overlord of Kun Mountain.
As a Tree Demon, not only could it transform into a human form and have its own name, but it could also move freely in its original form. Its strength was comparable to a Three Liquid Stage Violet Mansion Supreme Immortal expert.
If the King of Kun Shan did not comprehend the True Meaning of Wind, he might not be its opponent. Even so, the King of Kun Shan could only fight to a draw with the Ancestor Tree. Therefore, if the King of Kun Shan wanted the Ancestor Tree to kill Lin Fan, he could only use the word "invite".
"So, the Ancestor Tree agreed?" Lin Fan asked. Seeing everyone's nervous expression, he was also a little nervous.
This was because he had never heard of the Ancestor Tree before. It was precisely because he did not know about it that he felt that it was unfathomable.
"Yes, the King of Kun Shan and the Ancestor Tree have been friends for decades. Why would he refuse?" the criminal said.
"A demon will be a demon after all. The King of Kun Shan colluded with a demon to kill a contestant. Can he bear such a crime?" Lin Fan's eyes flashed as he stared at the criminal.
The criminal laughed disdainfully and said, "This young hero seems to be inexperienced. Don't forget that it was the Ancestor Tree that killed Lin Fan, not the King of Kun Shan. Moreover, the dead tell no tales. Who will be blamed by the officials?
Blame the Ancestor Tree?
… Alright, the Ancestor Tree's cave abode is a few million meters underground. If you want to kill it, you have to go a few million meters underground. Let me ask you, how many powerful cultivators can go a few million meters underground? "
When everyone heard this, they agreed. The 10,000-year Tree Demon was so powerful that it would not be easy to kill it.
"Hmm, that makes sense."
Lin Fan rubbed his chin. Suddenly, the striped beast on his back let out a low roar. Then, with a whoosh, a flower vine with green leaves and purple flowers sprang out from the ground under Lin Fan's feet. The purple flower had poisonous thorns on it and was shining with a purple light like a light bulb. It was extremely strange.
After the flower vine sprang out, it let out a strange laugh. Like a python, it wrapped around Lin Fan's body and pulled him down with all its might.
"Hmm?
Damn it … "Lin Fan cursed to himself. Then, he struggled hard. With a bang, the flower vine was broken by him.
The broken flower vine let out a strange cry like a beast. However, at this moment, with a continuous whoosh, eight similar flower vines sprang out from the ground around Lin Fan. They wrapped tightly around Lin Fan like wild pythons.
"Hmm?!"
Lin Fan exerted his strength again. With a burst of his physical strength, the eight flower vines were instantly shattered. They let out beast-like cries.
Then, they retracted into the ground and disappeared.
"Hmm?
Body refinement expert? "
Everyone recovered from their shock and stared at Lin Fan as they muttered. Because they all knew that it was the Purpleblood Poisonous Flower. The Purpleblood Poisonous Flower's entanglement was extremely strong. If one was entangled by eight Purpleblood Poisonous Flowers, even a cultivator at the Fifth Liquid Stage or above would find it difficult to escape. However, Lin Fan had easily escaped. Moreover, this was under the premise that he did not use his Qi Refinement cultivation.
Then, there was only one answer. He was clearly a body refinement expert.
