Chapter 24: Heaven's Wrath and Earth's Fury

  In the afternoon, Lin Fan went to Baibao Hall again and handed over the five pellets of Xǐ Mù Dān in his hand to the person in charge. After spending a day and two nights refining the Xǐ Mù Dān and Tōng Líng Dān, only two pellets were left, one pellet of Xǐ Mù Dān and one pellet of Tōng Líng Dān.

  Ling Dan was kept by Lin Fan for his own use, as for the Washing Marrow Dan, Lin Fan left it to the beautiful female followers. No matter what, Liu Yan was always his follower, and if the follower's strength was too weak, the master would lose face.

  Arriving at the City Master's Mansion, Lin Fan didn't make any announcements this time and directly unfolded the Five Elements Escape to enter the mansion without disturbing anyone. He searched left and right but couldn't find any trace of Liu Yan.

  After some deliberation, Lin Fan finally thought of a possibility regarding Liu Yan's whereabouts, and his face revealed a hint of unusualness. He then unfolded the Five Lines Escape technique and headed towards the hot spring in the backyard of the City Master's residence.

  In a large hot spring, the hot water was bubbling with air bubbles. A beautiful face showed a look of enjoyment. The woman soaking in the hot spring was one of the two beauties of Lu Ri City, and she was Liu Yanzhi's own daughter, Liu Yan.

  Liu Yan's favorite thing to do in her life is to soak in hot springs. As long as she has nothing to do, she hides here to soak in the hot springs. Today, with nothing to do, Liu Yan was worried about the Lin family's affairs again, so she had no choice but to soak in the hot springs.

  Not far away, behind the fake mountain, Lin Fan's eyes were wide with wonder. Since crossing over, this was his first time seeing such a sensual scene. As a top-tier otaku from 21st century Earth, Lin Fan had only seen Japanese adult videos on his computer and had never actually practiced it in real life for over a decade.

  Gulu...

  He had just made a sound, and Lin Fan immediately covered his mouth. Before he could even react, Liu Yan was already standing in front of him, her face filled with rage, her eyes blazing with fury, her entire body trembling with anger.

  "Miss Liu, listen to me first, I didn't intentionally peek at you taking a hot spring bath. This time I came mainly to deliver..."

  The words had not been spoken yet, when a pair of slender jade hands suddenly appeared in front of him. As a high-level warrior, Liu Yan's strength was similar to Lin Fan's, but relying on the Five Elements Shift, Liu Yan couldn't do anything to Lin Fan for the time being.

  Half an hour later, Liu Yan was panting like a cow, staring at the young man in front of her, and said in a voice that seemed to be speaking to his arch-nemesis: "I originally thought you had changed, but I didn't expect you to still be so **vulgar**, actually sneaking a peek at me while I was bathing. Lin Fan, I really want to tear you into pieces."

  Looking at the stunning beauty in front of him, Lin Fan's heart was filled with a sense of injustice. Who had he provoked? He had kindly given his follower some elixir, but instead of being thanked, he was now being chased by Liu Yan all over the mountains. If it weren't for his Five Elements Escape technique, he might have already been thoroughly killed by Miss Liu.

  "Miss Liu, listen to me first, this time I came to deliver the elixir to you, not intentionally to see you soaking in the hot spring."

  "You fart, bringing me Dan medicine? What kind of Dan medicine do you have? Even if it's just a peek, you're a grown man who doesn't dare admit it. I'm utterly disgusted with you. Get out, get out of the City Lord's Manor."

  It seemed to know that it couldn't kill the young man in front of him, Liu Yan roared with anger, his entire face turned bright red due to extreme rage. Lin Fan felt extremely suffocated, if he didn't think that this follower was not bad, perhaps he would have left already.

  He took out the last remaining pellet of Brain Cleansing Pill from his bosom, and Lin Fan said with some helplessness: "You've always wanted to know why I became like this, right? Now I can tell you, it's all because of this Brain Cleansing Pill in my hand. Originally, I was thinking of giving it to you, so that your strength would surge too. But who knew, you actually wanted to kill me. Alas, people are not what they used to be, I'd better leave."

  "Wait, what did you just say?"

  Just as Lin Fan was about to leave, Liu Yan's voice was filled with surprise and she shouted out. Through these few days of interaction, Liu Yan felt that Lin Fan had indeed changed a lot, especially in terms of strength, which had increased overnight. She had always wanted to know why the original good-for-nothing from the Lin family had undergone such a drastic change in just one night.

  "Although your cultivation has reached the realm of a high-level warrior, after taking this Marrow Cleansing Pill, your body will be cleansed again, and you'll know the effect once you try it."

  Lin Fan quickly put the hair washing medicine in his hand into the fake mountain and left hastily. As for this notorious tyrannical woman of Luojing City, he didn't want to provoke trouble, so when he arrived at a secluded place, Lin Fan directly unfolded the Five Elements Escape Technique and left.

  She quickly walked to the side of the fake mountain, took out the washing marrow dan left by Lin Fan, and Liu Yan didn't hesitate at all. She directly swallowed the washing marrow dan, and half an hour later, Liu Yan's face changed slightly, covering her stomach and rushing towards the toilet.

  When Lin Fan returned to the Lin family, what awaited him was a huge pile of things. It turned out that the Li family, for some unknown reason, had experienced an overnight surge in power and was using its formidable strength to join forces with other families to suppress the Lin family's business in Luoshen City. Under their tyrannical rule, the other families were powerless, and within less than half a day, the Lin family's business was completely paralyzed.

  A cold smile spread across his face, Lin Fan's countermeasure was to remain still and not make a move. He didn't care about the Lin family's business in Luoshan City at all, because he knew very well that on this alien continent, only if your fist is big and hard enough can you stand firmly on your feet.

  For Lin Yuxin and the five, Lin Fan only let them focus on their cultivation, it was already the King's Way to have reached the rank of War Master, but as soon as he gave the order, Lin Yuxin arrived at Jiuxiao Institute once again.

  "How did you come again? Wasn't it told that you should take the Tongling Dan as soon as possible and break through the Zhan Shi realm?"

  "I've come to tell you a secret, the biggest secret of the Lin family. At first, you were too spoiled, so Father didn't tell you this secret. But now that you've changed, I think it's time you knew."

  Secret? Or the biggest secret of the Lin family? Upon hearing Lin Yuxin's words, Lin Fan's face showed some confusion. As the only son of the Lin family, he didn't know that there was still a secret in the Lin family?

  "Three years ago, when I took control of the Lin family's Shi Fang, my father told me the biggest secret of the Lin family, that is, the Lin family has always had its own military power, and as long as the Lin family is in danger, it can be driven by the master's order."

  "How many men does the Lin family have in this armed force? What is their actual strength?"

  As for what Lin Yuxin said, Lin Fan searched through all the memories in his mind but couldn't find any. Thinking about it, it makes sense. The young master of the Lin family back then only knew how to eat, drink, and gamble, and if Lin Wushuang had handed over the family heirloom to him, it would be strange if the Lin family didn't collapse later on.

  "I heard my father briefly mention that the Lin family's martial force has a total of 108 people, consisting of 36 Heavenly Gates and 72 Earthly Fiends. The 36 Heavenly Gates have all broken through to the War Master realm, while the 72 Earthly Fiends have just reached the High-Level Warrior realm."

  Although Lin Fanming knew that the martial power of the Lin family was definitely not ordinary, after all, as the last trump card of the Lin family, Lin Wushuang would not be so cautious, and even his own son did not tell him, but he also did not expect the martial power of the Lin family to be so powerful.

  Thirty-six martial masters, seventy-two senior martial artists, what a concept? Lin Fan was very clear in his mind that even if all the experts in Luojia City were added up, they would not be able to surpass the military power of the Lin family.

  Taking over the household token from Lin Yuxin's hand, Lin Fan asked: "With the household token, how should I gather this force?"

  The Lin Family Temple

  Lin Family Temple, at first Lin Wushuang left only these four words to Lin Yuxin, Lin Yuxin didn't understand the meaning of the four words, but Lin Fan did. Without any hesitation, with great difficulties ahead, being able to possess such a powerful fighting army, Lin Fan's heart was filled with confidence.

  Without letting Lin Yuxin follow, Lin Fan took the family order and walked quickly towards the Lin Family Ancestral Hall. The Lin Family Ancestral Hall was a place where no outsiders were allowed to enter, regardless of who they were; anyone who disobeyed would be killed without pardon.

  Entering the Lin family ancestral hall, Lin Fan found a hole in front of the ancestral tablets. In the past, whenever the young masters of the Lin family made mistakes, they would be punished by their father to kneel in the ancestral hall. Over time, Lin Fan discovered this hole. Today, as soon as he saw Lin Yuxin give orders to the head of the household, Lin Fan already knew how to gather the Lin family's armed forces.

  The master's order had just been inserted into the hole on the table, when suddenly a stone door opened on the wall behind the ancestral hall. Lin Fan thought that it was indeed so, and without any hesitation, he went towards the stone door and instantly disappeared inside.

  Inside the stone gate was a pitch-black passageway, and Lin Fan walked on the granite floor relying on his senses. After walking for about a thousand steps, he finally saw a glimmer of light. He quickened his pace, and after taking more than ten steps, an enormous primitive forest appeared in his line of sight.

  "What the...? Where is this place? Is this really the legendary Xishuangbanna?" Lin Fan's eyes were opened wide, he really hadn't expected that the Lin family ancestral hall would have such a passageway, and behind it was actually an original primeval forest, this was too incredible.

  Before Lin Fan could regain his composure, a figure swiftly shot over from afar. In the blink of an eye, a burly man was already kneeling before him, saying in a loud and clear voice: "Lin Fei greets Young Master."

  "Are you a member of the Heavenly Vengeance Earthly Destruction?"

  "Belonging to the lower rank is actually the eldest of the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Stars. I wonder what happened this time when the young master entered the Magic Mountain Range?"

  Mystical mountain range? It wasn't Xishuangbanna, but Lin Fan's heart was filled with curiosity about this so-called mystical mountain range. Back on Earth, he was just a small otaku who had only run a few hundred miles at most, and had only seen these primeval forests from afar but never visited them.

  "Lin Fei, this time I've indeed come for a reason, but can you first tell me about the Mystic Mountain Range?" Lin Fan's heart was clear that the current crisis wouldn't threaten the Lin family for the time being. Having finally entered the Mystic Mountain Range, if he didn't figure out everything about it, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage? He wasn't so foolish; what he needed to know, he had to know, and not a moment could be delayed.
