Chapter 409: That Is Just So Tragic

Lin Fan and Gou’zi left late at night not because they were cowards but because this was a strategic move; there was no need for him to take the risk to wait in Valley City.

In his words, doing that wouldn’t be bravery but stupidity.

He also had no idea whether or not the Alliance Headquarters would send experts to rush through the dimension to get to them. It was best if they didn’t send anyone, but if they did, then what could they do?

As for whether or not the powerless Iron Dragon would be beaten to death in a foreign land, that was uncertain too. Lin Fan also didn’t want to worry too much about that.

Not long after Lin Fan left the inn, the manager brought the attendant and snuck up. They were afraid. But when they saw that there was only an old man on the ground, they became much bolder.

As for those corpses, Lin Fan had transferred them into the dimension.

When the manager saw that the wall of the inn was shattered, he furiously demanded Iron Dragon to pay. Iron Dragon still hadn’t adjusted his mentality between the general and trash and so he scolded the manager.

The manager was shocked by Iron Dragon’s shouting and didn’t expect the old man to be so rude.

How could he accept that?

He directly told the attendant to beat him up.

Iron Dragon laughed coldly. To think ants dared to fight a dragon. But very quickly, tragedy struck.

He realized that he was a powerless old man. He couldn’t beat a single ant much less a bunch of them. He felt like if this continued, he was going to die.

Begging was useless and the manager only wanted money to pay for the wall.

But as a nine-star general, when he was outside he wasn’t the one paying. The key was that he couldn’t take anything out from his dimension.

That was just awkward.

He had lost all his cultivation and was just a useless mortal.

If he knew that this would happen he should have taken some money out. But no matter what, it was too late now.

In this world, killing someone was not a rarity or a problem anymore.

The Imperial Dynasty’s control couldn’t reach Valley City.

But the manager was a kind person.

He told the attendant to stop as he was afraid that he would kill him. At the same time, he gave Iron Dragon a chance to be an attendant in the inn. No, he couldn’t be an attendant as he was too old. At most he could only wash plates.

Iron Dragon was just so dejected.

A second ago, he was a nine-star general and now he was a dishwasher. The difference between the two was a little huge.

Outside of Valley City.

“Young Master, rest first. I will keep a lookout.” Gou’zi had reached Dao Realm. If his energy control wasn’t perfect enough, Lin Fan would have raised it to Dao Realm Stage One.

Through this, he realized how terrifying the Chief God faith was.

He lent his own strength but it didn’t affect him personally. Other Chief Gods wouldn’t dare to lend their own strength to others as they would have been sucked dry.

Not to mention people like Gou’zi with peak faith. The amount of strength he got was just one stage lower than his. Apart from Lin Fan, no one else could support that.

His idea was simple. He would raise his own strength and recruit more believers. If he could raise all their faith to the peak, the power of that army would be amazing.

Even if the Alliance and all the top sects attacked him, they might not have been enough.

“Gou’zi, there is no need to. Your strength control is still too weak, so try to control it as soon as possible. I will push your strength up as anyone who hasn’t reached Dao Realm is just an ant.” Lin Fan said.

“Yes, Young Master.” Gou’zi replied.

With Lin Fan’s current strength, if an expert tried to sneak across, he would be able to sense it. If he couldn’t, then it would be useless even if Gou’zi was guarding it.

The Alliance Headquarters was in chaos.

Nine-star general Chi Xiao informed them about what happened in Valley City.

The thing that they cared most about was Lin Fan’s strength.

The Alliance Headquarters Meeting Room.

Numerous nine-star generals were here with solemn expressions. Each of them had a set of data and there was a picture of Lin Fan in the column.

“Dao Realm Stage Two. He is very young at approximately 20. Even if he started training from the womb, that would be impossible.”

One of the higher ranking nine-star generals said. He hadn’t been through the You City battle and belonged to those who were afraid to die. When there were matters he would let others go first while he would shout and cheer from the back.

Zhu Daoshen thought about it and said, “Yes, I remember what happened in You City. Mao Shentai fought this kid one on one and we thought that with his cultivation, it would be easy to kill him. The outcome, however, was that they fought for a long time and he didn’t manage to kill the kid. At that time, the kid had already reached Dao Realm.”

The moment he said this, everyone in the meeting room was shocked and restless.

“How is that possible? He shouldn’t be so strong at his age. Or does Lin Wanyi have a way to raise cultivation quickly? All of our brains shouldn’t be worse than one boorish fellow.”

Lin Wanyi’s nickname was quite famous over on the side of the Alliance.

He had never studied and he spoke really rudely and crudely. It was a real surprise that he could cultivate to such a realm.

“I can ensure you that it is true.” Wu Zhige said. If it wasn’t for the Valley City matter, then he would have forgotten about this kid.

After all one would naturally think that anyone weaker than him was trash and didn’t need to be held in high regard. But what he forgot to take into account was his age.

“Why didn’t you mention such an important thing then?”

All the Alliance nine-star generals blamed him. Actually, they weren’t really blaming, but they all felt that this was a huge problem.

Wu Zhige said, “I forgot because he was a little weak, so I didn’t worry much about him.”

Keke!

Someone laughed coldly.

“Wu Zhige, your actions might have helped to develop a terrifying enemy for the Alliance someday. Lin Wanyi alone has lost us so many nine star generals. His son is so young and has reached such a realm. In just a few more years or even a decade, what do you think will happen?”

“I don’t have to make things more obvious than that, right?”

Everyone kept silent. They weren’t fools and obviously understood what was being said.

If they just let Lin Fan develop, in less than a decade, the Alliance would have to face an invincible expert.

It might have seemed impossible but talent was a really uncertain thing.

The Alliance understood that the birth of an expert would require 100% hard work but sometimes the world wasn’t logical. Talented people could just eat and have fun each day, yet their cultivation would be like a speeding car, surging into the sky.

Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige looked at one another with solemn looks appearing in their eyes.

Before this, they really didn’t care much about Lin Fan.

If Chi Xiao didn’t send this message up the train, they wouldn’t have cared much about it.

“Based on the current situation, can the Alliance send people to surround him and kill him while we still can?” Wu Zhige asked.

“That is for sure, we can’t let this kid live. But the Alliance hasn’t occupied the native territory and it will be dangerous to just enter. We should spread the message out for those top sects to attack him and settle him. Naturally, the Alliance has to put in some effort into this matter too.” A bearded nine-star general said.

The moment he suggested it, many people agreed.

He was really cunning.

He used the pressure on those top sects.

Pressure that there was such a person alive. The top sects definitely wouldn’t let him live and they would send experts to kill Lin Fan.

The uncertain element in all this was just too terrifying.

When Lin Fan was deep asleep, the Alliance started to plan things.

If he knew that the Alliance paid attention to him because of the Valley City matter, he would be very happy.

Damn, that was just so exciting.

Didn’t that mean that he didn’t need to head out to find trouble with others and people would just come to him?

At the same time, he would gain more rage points too.

After all, it was normal for others to be envious and jealous of him.

The next day, Lin Fan woke up. Gou’zi hadn’t slept for the whole night and was controlling his own strength. The Domain Realm strength was just too enormous for Gou’zi, and naturally, he needed some time to adapt to it.

“Go, let’s remove the equipment that the Alliance has placed in our territory.”

Last night, the people who Gou’zi interrogated revealed everything.

The Alliance’s technology was quite problematic and it was best if he didn’t look down on it. Otherwise, all their tracks would fall into the hands of the Alliance.

Now, he had to develop Martial Path Mountain.

Valley City belonged to one of the cities within the range of Martial Path Mountain.

Now, all the sects were occupying the land. Since they loved to expand their territory so much he would play with them. In the end, he would see who occupied more land.

“Young Master, there is a tea house in front, let’s head over to rest.”

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Gou’zi wasn’t tired but because Young Master was a precious person, he had to rest.

“Eh.”

He realized that area around was really safe. Along the way, they also went to remove the signal equipments.

Pata!

“Sir, please give me some food, I…”

A beggar laid on the road. No matter who passed, he would reach out to grab his shoes and call him Sir.

Lin Fan lowered his head. Gou’zi wanted to chase the beggar away but when he saw the face, he was shocked. “Young Master, he is Liang Yongqi. ”

The beggar heard someone call him and his body shook. When he raised his head and saw Lin Fan’s face, tears welled in his eyes.

Lin Fan was stunned and didn’t expect to see Liang Yongqi here.

Truthfully, in his mind, he had thought about many possibilities of Liang Yongqi. The most probable one was that he would work hard after realizing that everyone in You City was dead. He would be determined to become an expert and then he would obtain many lucky breaks.

On a certain day, he would proudly step out and walk on the clouds.

Looking at the situation, his guess was totally wrong.

As expected, it was a lie.

Where would there be so many lucky breaks in life?

But based on what he knew, Liang Yongqi was Martial Path Grade Four. Even in the worst case, he shouldn’t have been a beggar, right?
