Chapter 231: Talk So Much For Nothing

Shua Shua!

The three Elders looked at Lin Fan, their gazes were a little off.

You were the one who said a Sword Palace Elder was killed in one move which caused them to be shocked. Now you said that it might be fake, is he playing with us?

They were all heavily wounded and couldn’t take the scare, it was easy for them to bleed.

Do you know what it means to bleed?

Blood spurted far like a water gun.

Dan Yunsheng really planned on leaving Black Mountain. He didn’t care about what Black Mountain had or whether there were any dangers.

The best way to stay alive was to stay far away.

Xiedao Sect expert hadn’t died and was still in Black Mountain. Once he healed up, they definitely wouldn’t let him off. That was impossible.

“Let’s rest on the spot and not rush in.” Lin Fan said.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to walk, but he didn’t dare to. Who knew how far he would have to walk for it to be considered deep. At least now, he was still really safe.

Don’t mention any treasure to him.

Till now he hadn’t seen a single treasure. As for those red-colored flowers, he didn’t see any. He didn’t see a single one.

“Young hero Lin, why did you think to come to Black Mountain? Did you hear the rumors outside?” Elder Yunsheng asked. He felt that this kid was decent, he was young and had high cultivation. Moreover, he was righteous and had saved the three of them.

It would be fantastic if Danxia Island had such a disciple.

However, this wasn’t something that one could just ask for.

Lin Fan was riled up. Whether or not he could gain any Grandmaster secret techniques depended on what happened now.

“Eh, it’s a long story. I came here for a simple reason which is to obtain some treasures to exchange for some Grandmaster techniques. You also know that I have no power, so it is really hard to gain such techniques.” Lin Fan said.

Shua!

Elder Yunsheng looked at Lin Fan in shock, “What did you say? You belong to no power?”

“Yes.” Lin Fan nodded his head. He definitely wouldn’t talk about Martial Path Mountain in case he met any enemies who would head back there to find trouble. These people were the most annoying and made him unhappy.

Elder Yunsheng opened his mouth like he had seen a ghost, “Then, how did you get your cultivation. You are so young and have such cultivation. If you don’t have a huge faction supporting you, that is impossible.”

He nearly shouted those words out.

The first thought was that he lied to them and didn’t say the truth. Who cared about his talent, even if he was really talented, or he held a knife on their necks, he wouldn’t believe their bragging words.

d.a.m.n!

Lin Fan’s head hurt, he didn’t expect Elder Yunsheng to ask him that.

He believed that when one said the first lie, one would need 100 to cover the rest up.

To other people, it would be complicated. Whose brain was so good to be able to craft so many lies.

However, Lin Fan wasn’t afraid. He believed in his ability to say lies.

Lying felt great, continuing to lie felt even better. The highest level would be when one became convinced by their own lies.

“Elder Yunsheng, this is a long story. This started from 15 years ago; I was a young kid and was playing around. I suddenly noticed a white snake and healed it up. Three months later, when I went home, it disappeared, and I searched in many places but couldn’t find it. I gave up but who knew that on a certain day, an old man would walk toward me.”

“The old man was very merciful, touching my head and said, ‘Thank you for saving my granddaughter,’ and he wanted to give me a huge chance to thank me.” Lin Fan said.

Elder Yunsheng and the others listened on seriously, hurriedly asking, “Then?”

Lin Fan opened his arms out, “Then, I became how I am now, training bit by bit just like that.”

Elder Yunsheng and the others exchanged glances with one another, their eyes filled with shock.

It wasn’t that they recognized who that old man was but because they felt that this was a shocking encounter.

“It seemed like the white snake was the old man’s granddaughter. You healed it and it went to tell its family. That old man found you and helped you.” Elder Yunsheng said.

Aiya, how envious.

Each time he heard about someone experiencing some fortuitous encounter, he would be really jealous. Why wasn’t he able to as well?

Now, after hearing what Lin Fan said, they suddenly realized that those encounters were totally different from this one, there was no comparison at all.

As for whether or not what he said was real…

There was no need to speak more about that. If this wasn’t real, then what was?

He cultivated to this stage through his own hard work?

Stop kidding. If they believed that one could reach this level without any fortuitous encounter, then they really had problems with their brains.

Elder Yunsheng asked eagerly, “Did the old man appear after that?”

Lin Fan shook his head, “No. In these 15 years, he didn’t appear. However, I believed that I would meet him which was why I came to Black Mountain to search for treasures to exchange for Grandmaster secret techniques.”

“Young hero Lin, you must work hard. Your future is bright. We believe that you can find treasures.” Elder Yunsheng gave Lin Fan support. He just didn’t say that since he had saved their life, then they would settle the secret technique thing.

No, they didn’t have such a thought at all.

Was his hint not direct enough such that they didn’t understand what he meant?

Although the story was nice to listen to, one had to understand the meaning within.

Suddenly, Elder Yunsheng said, “Young hero Lin, actually you don’t need to find treasures and you can get Grandmaster techniques.”

Lin Fan’s brow rose in happiness. It seemed like he understood. Not bad, not bad, it was okay that he was slow, but as long as he understood the meaning, then it would be easy for them to discuss.

However, what happened next made him roll his eyes. He felt like his words were useless.

“Young hero Lin, since you belong to no power, then why don’t you join Danxia Island. I will recommend you and it will be fine.”

“Moreover, with your comprehension and talent, the sect will develop you. When that happens, how could you lack secret techniques?”

Elder Yunsheng felt that he was a real talent which was why he thought of such an idea.

Moreover, if they had such a righteous person to join Danxia Island, after the sect deepened and taught him, that sense of righteousness would increase. He might even bring fame to Danxia Island.

Lin Fan said regretfully, “Thank you Elder Yunsheng for your love, but I am used to being free and don’t want to join any sect.”

“Haiz, what a waste.” Elder Yunsheng shook his head and felt regretful, “I can’t spread any secret techniques to you. The sect has rules that have to be followed and can’t be spread to non-disciples, otherwise, I will betray the sect.”

He miscalculated.

This meant that everything said till now was useless.

“Young hero Lin, we also know that it is hard for you to acquire Grandmaster Realm techniques alone. You saved our lives and logically speaking we should help you, but we really have no choice. We can’t go against sect rules, otherwise, we will be traitors. We hope that you can understand.” Elder Yunsheng said.

This age, this experience, how could he not understand what that person meant?

However, he had no choice.

He couldn’t give him a secret technique just because that person saved his life. This concerned Danxia Island. Since he was an Elder, he couldn’t break that rule.

Yunyou and Yunchen both nodded their heads.

There was really nothing they could do.

“It is okay, I understand.” Lin Fan smiled. Actually, he felt bitter deep inside. He hoped to meet sects like Xiedao Sect which he didn’t need to be soft when dealing with.

These three Elders from Danxia Island were decent, they even wanted to recommend him into their sect. They really wanted to help him.

However, he was the Sect Leader of Martial Path Mountain. If he went to a sect to be a disciple, he would forever be lower than others.

Suddenly, a breeze spread in.

“Listen, is something getting close?” Lin Fan listened intently.

Elder Yunsheng nodded his head, “I heard it, it feels like it is getting closer and closer.”

He looked around and didn’t notice anything. He saw something behind and was so shocked that he nearly jumped up. He raised his finger and said, “Look! What is that?”

Lin Fan looked and realized a huge tentacle-like thing sweeping them.

He thought that it was a thick snake but it didn’t look like it. Moreover, there was more than one of them.

Lin Fan wanted to kill that thing but just as he was prepared to attack, someone screamed.

“Ah!”

Someone was wrapped by that tentacle. It constricted. That person’s bones felt like they were breaking apart as he spat out mouthfuls of blood.

Elder Yunsheng exclaimed, “Young hero Lin, let’s go.”

Lin Fan was shocked. We run before even doing anything, is that good? What’s so scary about this snake-like thing?

However, what was said stunned Lin Fan such that he didn’t dare to be careless.

“Young hero Lin, I know that person. Initial Grandmaster. He is even unable to fight that thing, so it is dangerous. Let’s go.” Elder Yunsheng said.

Although an Initial Grandmaster was weaker than that thing, these weird things could capture them which meant they were stronger. If one was dragged in, the outcome was unimaginable.

Lin Fan didn’t want to take the risk, “Go, our way out is locked, we can only head there.”

Elder Yunsheng felt tired. They wanted to leave but didn’t want to head in.

However, he had no choice.

He looked at those thick tentacles and became terrified. On closer look, that Grandmaster he recognized was squeezed into two parts.

He died for no reason at all.

What was this Black Mountain? Why was there such a dangerous living being there?

“Go.” Lin Fan headed forward and looked to the sides. He could see many thick tentacles. This was a sweeping movement… Were they forcing them toward an area?
