"These are my conditions for protecting you!" Wang Lin's words didn't give others the right to choose. He withdrew his gaze from the three of them.
If the three of them agreed, then it would be fine. If they didn't agree, then Wang Lin naturally wouldn't get involved in this mess.
The Ran family's ancestor pondered a bit. The threat of the Huan family was simply too great. If no one stood up for them, then once they were found out, their Ran family would face the danger of extinction.
He clenched his teeth and decisively said, "Fine!"
After he finished speaking, the Ran family's ancestor's eyes lit up and he turned his head toward the middle-aged man cultivating inside the ice.
The Ran family's ancestor wasn't the only one like this. Sun Xi's eyes also revealed a strange light as he looked at the middle-aged man, Carefree Sanren.
The Ran family's ancestor coldly said, "Brother Zhao, that matter was done by the three of us at the same time. Could it be that you want to stay out of this?!"
Carefree Sanren pondered for a while and wryly smiled. "I agree."
With that, he took out a bag of holding filled with celestial jades. After taking out some, he threw it at Wang Lin and bitterly said, "My family isn't big, so I don't have that many celestial jades. The celestial jades in this bag of holding were saved up by me through hard work."
The Ran family's ancestor and Sun Xi also handed over the celestial jades.
Celestial jades were precious consumables that cultivators often carried with them.
As for the things left behind by the Huan family members, the three of them didn't hesitate to take them out and hand them over to Wang Lin. These things had been in their hands for four years. They weren't treasures but a killing calamity that weighed down on their hearts and made them feel uneasy.
After putting away these things, Wang Lin turned around and disappeared. He only left behind one sentence that floated in the air.
"Nothing, don't disturb me. If the Huan family comes, I'll act."
After Wang Lin left, the three of them silently pondered. Sun Xi had other thoughts in his mind, so he was the most relaxed. He faintly smiled and clasped his hands. "Fellow Cultivators, I still have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Carefree Sanren also sighed and said, "I also need to take a trip back to the family to prepare for Fellow Cultivator Xu's request for celestial jades."
The Ran family's ancestor stood there alone and was silent for a long time. Then he let out a deep breath, looked into the distance, and muttered to himself, "Forget it, I'll lose money to avoid disaster … The matter from four years ago was taken care of by Xu Mu. If he doesn't die, nothing will happen to us. Moreover, this person doesn't look like someone who would break his promise, but I still have to guard against this person secretly leaving planet Ran Yun."
At this moment, in the southern part of planet Thousand Illusion, in the Huan family's ancestral home, the Huan family's head, Huan Fengshen, respectfully stood before an old man. This old man was thin, and he was the person who brought Liu Mei back from the Alliance Star System.
The old man's voice was cold. "He disappeared four years ago. Why are you only dealing with him now?"
The family head, Huan Fengshen, calmly said, "Ancestor, that person was originally a branch family member of my Huan family. However, his talent was good and his cultivation was at the mid stage of Ascendant, so he was given this position. As you know, there are too many people in my Huan family. Aside from the direct descendants, even if everyone else disappeared, it is impossible to carefully investigate them all."
The old man frowned and asked, "Is there no one with a higher cultivation level than this person?"
Huan Fengshen softly said, "Ancestor, the time you're asking for is too short. If you give me three more months, I can find someone more qualified, but right now I can't."
The old man pondered a bit and decisively said, "Okay, I'll give you three more months!"
Huan Fengshen raised his head and asked, "Then what about the family member that disappeared four years ago?"
"Since you know about this matter, send the family guard assigned to Huan Mei to deal with it. Everyone involved in this matter must be uprooted!
The Huan family's might must be established! "
Huan Fengshen nodded and left.
After leaving the room, there was a hint of gloominess in his eyes and he thought, "The Ancestor is really getting old. He didn't hesitate to use the Blood Transfusion Art for an outsider and even wants Huan Mei to establish her might. Could it be that he's planning to hand the Huan family over to this person in the future?!"
Three days later, Liu Mei was inside her pavilion. She looked at the sky outside and softly said, "Planet Ran Yun … Since godfather has handed this matter to me and told me to send the family guard to deal with it, then Huan Dong, you go …"
"Yes!"
A person immediately appeared from the void behind Liu Mei. This person looked to be around 30 years old and was very handsome. After he appeared, he knelt down on one knee and looked at Liu Mei's back with a gaze filled with fanaticism.
Liu Mei turned around, looked at the man behind her, and softly said, "Your cultivation has reached the peak of the mid stage of Ascendant, so there shouldn't be any accidents on this trip. Although this matter is small, it is the first time I've done something in the Huan family. You must quickly decide. Huan Dong, do you understand?"
"Rest assured, Miss. Huan Dong will not let you down!"
Huan Dong took a deep breath and his eyes became even more fanatical. When he first saw Liu Mei, his mind was shaken and he was shocked.
"The person with the highest cultivation on planet Ran Yun is only the Ran family's ancestor. That person is the same as me, at the mid stage of Ascendant. Even if you gave him 100 guts, he wouldn't dare to resist. Huan Dong's trip will not bring shame to Miss's reputation."
Liu Mei revealed a smile. Her smile was extremely beautiful, and in Huan Dong's eyes, it was even more stunning. He was startled for a moment and the fanaticism in his eyes became even stronger. There was even a hint of obsession in his eyes.
Wang Lin teleported back to the Sun family's small city. He didn't directly return to the Fang mansion but walked on the street while pondering his comprehension of his domain. His life and death domain had already fused with his origin soul. His origin soul was his comprehension of the life and death domain.
"Above life and death is karma … I can't be sure … The dao of karma is too big. When I reached the Ascendant stage, I comprehended my dao and turned into the underworld river, but … this underworld river dao is the manifestation of death in life and death. I died in the underworld river."
Looking at the bustling crowd around him, Wang Lin frowned.
"But where is the dao of life …"
While pondering, Wang Lin let out a sigh and stepped into the northern part of the city. He immediately saw the young man sitting under a boulder and revealed a smile.
"This woman is very kind. There aren't many cultivators like her in the cultivation world."
The young man seemed to notice something and opened his eyes. When he saw Wang Lin, he was startled and then said in joy, "You … Weren't you captured by someone?"
Wang Lin smiled and said, "They asked me a few things and then let me leave."
The young man looked at Wang Lin with confusion but didn't continue to ask. Everyone had their own secrets. If the other person didn't want to talk about it, there was no point in asking.
"You should hurry up and cultivate. I can see that your cultivation hasn't changed since you came here. Remember what I told you last time." The young man looked at Wang Lin seriously and said, "Hard work can make up for one's lack of talent!"
Wang Lin nodded and smiled, "You too, work hard and try to reach the Soul Formation stage as soon as possible."
"Soul Formation …" The young man shook his head bitterly and said, "I heard from the elders in my family that reaching the Soul Formation stage has nothing to do with hard work. No matter how hard you work, if you don't understand the heavens, you won't be able to become a demigod. You won't be able to touch the edge of the Soul Formation stage.
I will be satisfied if I can reach the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. "
Wang Lin smiled. The sun was behind him and the sunlight fell on his body. His smile seemed to be stained by the sunlight.
"Maintain your current state of mind. You can reach the Soul Formation stage."
The young man obviously thought that Wang Lin was trying to comfort him. He smiled and said, "Okay, if I reach the Soul Formation stage one day, I will remember your prediction today. For now, you should go back and cultivate."
Wang Lin smiled and nodded. He walked into the entrance and disappeared.
The young man under the rock muttered to himself, "Can I really reach the Soul Formation stage …"
After returning to the Fang Mansion, Wang Lin sat down in the lotus position. His body was filled with celestial spiritual energy. If his domain didn't increase, then no matter how much celestial spiritual energy he devoured, it would be useless.
After pondering for a bit, he took out the Huan family members' belongings that the Ran family's ancestor and company had handed over. All of the belongings were placed inside a bag of holding. There were some clothes and some trivial things inside.
What made Wang Lin's eyes narrow, aside from the rank 8 pill, were two treasures, a piece of jade, and a token.
These two treasures didn't have any divine sense imprints on them. There was even a trace of resentment left behind by the Huan family members when they died.
It was obvious that the Ran family's ancestor and Carefree Sanren didn't dare to leave their divine sense imprints on them.
One of the treasures was a black comb with a total of 19 teeth. It gave off the smell of blood. When it appeared in Wang Lin's hand, he immediately felt the ferocious aura coming from it.
"An attack-type Pseudo Celestial Treasure!
There is also a formation on it. The power of this treasure is extraordinary. "Wang Lin's finger gently touched the teeth of the comb and his gaze fell on the other treasure.
This was a pair of metallic flints. They were completely purple and gold, and as they floated in his hand, Wang Lin could clearly feel the piercing light coming from them.
"This …" Staring at the flints, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and then they shined brightly.
He used his hand to pinch one piece and rubbed it against each other. Sparks immediately appeared and a wave of heat rushed toward his face.
"Naturally formed treasures!" Wang Lin sucked in a breath of cold air and his attention was completely focused on the pair of flints.
Most treasures were refined by cultivators, but some were naturally formed. These kinds of treasures were too rare; they were even rarer than inheritance treasures.
Wang Lin only knew about these kinds of treasures from the memories of the ancient god Tu Si. In truth, to the ancient gods, these weren't really treasures but refining materials.
Flint was one of the naturally occurring materials for refining weapons. It was originally a metallic material, but due to its extreme hardness and the fact that it contained some strange Divine Abilities, when it rubbed against each other, sparks would be produced.
These sparks weren't used by mortals to make fire, but a type of golden fire. It was similar to the Yang fire that the Sky Demon Country's Chief Supervisor used in the Demon Spirit Land.
If one didn't use it to refine a treasure, they could use it as a treasure, and its power would be extraordinary.
