Chapter 53: Trouble Has Arrived

  Lin Fan didn't consider it at all, although he didn't know what Duanhun Cliff was or what kind of weapon the Duanhun Knife was, Lin Fan still agreed without hesitation.

  "Meng'er, can this matter be delayed for a while? I've already promised Bai Dage to join their Qinghuo Mercenary Group and enter the Heavenly Mountains together. After we're done with the Heavenly Mountains, I'll immediately follow you to Duansheng Cliff."

  She nodded, as for the second thing, according to Ling Meng'er's intention, wait until the first thing is done before talking about the second thing. Ling Meng'er seemed to be no longer as dull and lifeless as before. Then Lin Fan told Ling Meng'er all about how he offended the Duwu Mercenary Corps and joined the Qinghuo Mercenary Corps.

  They spent two hours eating a meal, and after dinner, the two returned to their rooms. Lin Fan didn't rest, but instead sat on his bed and began to cultivate. Since breaking through to the intermediate war master level, he had never had time to solidify his current realm.

  The sky gradually darkened, and the streets of Wangtian City became increasingly deserted. Before long, the entire city was plunged into darkness. Lin Fan had been cultivating since afternoon without opening his eyes once, wholeheartedly devoted to his practice. His cultivation had reached mid-level Zhan Shi, and it was no longer possible for him to advance through elixirs.

  Lin Fan currently has two sets of skills and two sets of combat techniques, which are the Five Elements Escape and Yin-Yang Devouring obtained from the Black Tower, as well as the War Dragon Technique passed down by his father Lin Wushuang and the Erase Trace combat technique.

  As for the two great martial skills of the Lin family, to be honest, Lin Fan didn't have much understanding because from the time he obtained the two great martial skills until now, apart from grasping the first sword of War Dragon's Decision and Subtle Dragon Rising to Heaven, the rest were still beyond his comprehension.

  Zhan Long finally understood a move or two, but as for the Mieyue Battle Technique, he hadn't even grasped the first realm of Mieyue Killing. This made Lin Fan feel not only speechless, but also very helpless.

  However, the two sets of inverse heavenly techniques obtained from the Black Tower, Wu Xing Dun and Yin Yang Xian Shi, Lin Fan simply couldn't bear to part with them. Whether it was Wu Xing Dun or Yin Yang Xian Shi, both techniques had no difficulty whatsoever, as if they were tailor-made for him.

  At this moment, Lin Fan, who had been cultivating all along, suddenly opened his eyes and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He immediately unfolded the Five Elements Escape Technique, and Lin Fan's figure instantly disappeared from the bed.

  Just as he disappeared, the window of Lin Fan's room suddenly opened, and a black figure flashed in. The cold eyes scanned the entire room, as if searching for something.

  He searched the entire room, only to find it empty and devoid of anyone. The man in black was clearly perplexed, as everything had been arranged beforehand, but now there was no one inside, leaving him wondering how he would explain this upon his return.

  At this moment, a black giant sword suddenly fell from behind the man in black, coming silently and quietly. When the man in black discovered it, it was already too late. One arm was cut off instantly, and the man in black groaned, seemingly in great pain.

  He cut off the black-clad man's arm, and Lin Fan's figure reappeared in the room, his voice somewhat cold as he said: "The Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps is indeed a group of brainless goods, actually sending someone like you to assassinate me. Why didn't your old team leader come?"

  There was no need to ask, Lin Fan already knew the origin of the black-clad man. He had just entered Wangtian City and, apart from offending the Du Lang Mercenary Group, he really couldn't think of anyone else he had provoked.

  "Hmph, you're lucky I didn't kill you today. But since you dared to provoke the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group, you're dead for sure." After saying that, the black-clad man didn't stay to finish off his opponent and instead broke through the window and left.

  As expected, the man in black was indeed a member of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group. Lin Fan didn't give chase because this time, the one who had been sent to assassinate him was a high-ranking warrior. If it were someone stronger than that, he might have found himself in a difficult situation.

  The man in black had just left, and Ling Meng'er directly broke in, looking at the window that was smashed by the man in black. She asked anxiously: "Was it the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group?"

  Today at noon, Lin Fan told Ling Meng everything he encountered in the Mercenary Guild, so when Ling Meng guessed the identity of the black-clothed man, Lin Fan wasn't surprised at all. It's just that anyone can basically guess it, but what Lin Fan didn't expect was that the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps would be so anxious and directly attack him in Wangtian City.

  It's necessary to know that at this moment, he is treating the young master of the city, Lin Fan believes that at this moment, he is absolutely the key protected object. From the moment he first left the city master's mansion, the city master's mansion has probably been tracking him for 24 hours a day. The strength of the Wolf Mercenary Corps may be very strong, but compared to the city master's mansion, it seems that there is still some difference, this point Lin Fan is convinced without a doubt.

  Nodding his head, Lin Fan said without any concealment, "A high-level warrior was beheaded by me and left with one arm cut off".

  "Why don't you go after her?"

  "Chase?" He shook his head helplessly, Lin Fan also wanted to go after her, but could he?

  "If you can cut off one of his arms, why don't you just leave him behind?"

  "What's the point of killing small fish, old fish will still come, since so, why bother with extra trouble."

  Lin Fan was left speechless by the young man's words, and Ling Meng'er continued to ask, "Lin Fan, tell me honestly, is this poisonous wolf mercenary group you've offended very powerful?"

  "Others are not worth worrying about, but the captain of the Wolf Mercenary Corps is a bit tricky", although he didn't understand the old man's true strength at first, Lin Fan was certain that the captain of the Wolf Mercenary Corps must be a strong warrior king, otherwise Vice President Tian Er would not be so wary of the old man.

  If it's a great war master, Lin Fan still has some confidence in the battle, but if it's a War King strongman, then there's no need to consider, basically he will definitely lose without a doubt, this is the terrifying aspect of a War King strongman.

  Ling Meng'er wasn't a fool, she could hear a hint of powerlessness from the young man's words, and asked uncertainly: "You mean to say that the leader of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps is actually a War King powerhouse?"

  Although unwilling to admit it, Lin Fan reluctantly said: "The old man of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps is indeed a War King, and if I'm not mistaken, that old man's cultivation has at least reached mid-level War King".

  "It's actually a mid-level war king", she whispered to herself, Ling Meng'er was very clear what a mid-level war king represented. For the Jiuyou tribe, it might not be anything special, but for the mainland, a war king strongman basically represented the strongest.

  "Trouble is big."

  "It's going to be a huge trouble, if nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely be pursued and killed all the way, but the only thing worth celebrating is that the target of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group is only me, I believe they won't easily deal with you guys."

  As for this point, Lin Fan had a number in his heart. After all, the Green Fire Mercenary Group and the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group had been at odds for a long time. However, the Green Fire Mercenary Group had always been doing well and had never been surrounded and killed by the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group. This showed that it should be the Mercenary Guild intervening, otherwise, with the ruthlessness of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group, they would not have let their enemy off so easily.

  Ling Meng'er seemed to want to say something, but Lin Fan spoke first: "I'm fine, you hurry back and rest, tomorrow I'll cure the illness of the city lord's daughter, then we'll leave immediately for Mount Tian from Wàntiān City".

  "Be careful yourself, you still owe me two things and can't die easily," leaving behind this sentence, Ling Meng'er turned around and left the room.

  Upon hearing this, Lin Fan's face showed a hint of bitter smile, but he didn't think much of it. The night passed without incident, and the next day was clear. Just as Lin Fan had expected, the City Lord's Manor sent someone to invite him again, saying that they had already found a top-grade Dan furnace.

  Lin Fan didn't dawdle and immediately stood up to follow the city lord's guards to the city lord's mansion. Today seemed no different from yesterday, with the same grand hall and the same people. The dozen or so divine doctors of Wang Tian City were all present, led by the white-haired old man who had been looking down on Lin Fan since the beginning.

  "Lin brothers, everything is ready. This dan furnace I've prepared for you was obtained with great difficulty from a good friend's house. It's said that this dan furnace was produced by the Beastman Empire."

  "Lord City Master, please be at ease. As long as the dan furnace is good enough, I will definitely succeed in refining the Qingling Dan this time and completely cure Miss's illness." Lin Fan had already secretly made up his mind that no matter how much time it took, he would refine the Qingling Dan, otherwise he would not leave the room.

  He seemed somewhat moved, and the middle-aged Confucian scholar's face showed an indescribable expression. He immediately said: "The events of that night were my negligence, I didn't think that the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group would be so bold as to dare move against me in Wangtian City. However, Brother Lin, please rest assured, I have already made arrangements with the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group, and before leaving Wangtian City, they will not take action against you again."

  Before leaving Wangtian City, will you not take action against yourself? In other words, as long as you leave Wangtian City, even if the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps takes action against you, the City Lord's Manor will not take action.

  With a cold smile in his heart, Lin Fan had already calculated that the City Lord's Manor would warn the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group. After all, he was still very important to the City Lord's Manor, and they wouldn't let him get into trouble before the young lady of the manor was fully cured.

  Although he was very resentful of the City Lord's Manor's actions, Lin Fan didn't say much. After all, the City Lord's Manor helping him was a matter of human relationships, and not helping him would have been understandable. Since he had cured the young lady of the City Lord's Manor, they had paid him the corresponding reward, and neither party owed the other anything.

  It seems that he could guess what the young man in front of him was thinking, but the middle-aged Confucian scholar didn't say anything more. If it weren't for his daughter's illness, he wouldn't have offended the poisonous wolf mercenary group for one person.

  "Thank you, Lord City Master. This time's alchemy may take a very long time, and I hope that during this period, the City Master will not allow anyone to disturb me."

  "Brother Lin, rest assured, I have already cleared out the entire Li Huayuan area within a radius of one thousand meters. At that time, not even a single mouse will disturb Brother Lin."
