Chapter 226: One Against A Country

“Very good, I like people who take initiative.”

“Don’t worry, I have no animosity toward you. As long as you reply to me honestly, I won’t hurt you. However, if you are not honest, then don’t blame me.”

Lin Fan leaned close to Xu Song’s year and said softly.

Xu Song felt a warm air enter his ear and he felt a chill down his spine. He nearly wet his pants. He leaned on the wall, to let Lin Fan end things quickly and then release him.

Pui!

How could he have such a disgusting thought?

He was a man, how could he welcome another guy just to keep his life? This was an insult toward him.

Now that the other party wanted him to answer honestly, he felt a little afraid.

Since he stopped him, he knew who he was. What if he asked some unspeakable secrets?

He definitely couldn’t reveal such things.

As a disciple of the sect, they had to focus on the interests of the sect. How could they abandon the sect just because they were threatened? The sect was their home, the elders were their parents. They took such good care of there. He definitely couldn’t be such an animal and betray the sect.

However…

His life was being threatened and if the seniors knew about it, they definitely could understand and forgive him. After all, he treated them like his parents and they treated him like their son.

If their children did something wrong, parents would definitely forgive them.

In that short moment, Xu Song was convinced by his own thoughts.

“Let me ask you, what is Black Mountain?” Lin Fan asked. He was really curious about this. During the day, he was confused by their words and if he didn’t understand the whole picture he felt unbearable.

“Eh?” Xu Song was stunned like he didn’t expect that to be the question. To him, the question should have been more solemn or more important.

Lin Fan frowned. “Why? You don’t want to say?”

His tone changed and became slightly unfriendly.

Xu Song was very sensitive to that change in tone. He sensed that the blade by his neck was a bit closer now and he panicked, “It is a mountain.”

Lin Fan took in a deep breath, putting his arm around his neck and patting his chest, “Kid, one last chance. If you continue to treat me like a fool, then your head and body will separate, never to be reattached. Consider it carefully.”

Wa!

Xu Song was about to cry. He asked what Black Mountain was, so he said that it was a mountain, what was wrong with that?

He answered as he was asked.

He didn’t say anymore, he did as he was told. Now that the other party said that, he felt so wronged that he wanted to cry.

Even if he held him hostage, he couldn’t be so overbearing right?

Of course, those were just his thoughts. To calm the other party down, he couldn’t show any unhappiness.

“Brother, wait. Let me tell you from the start and you will know what the situation there is.” Xu Song said anxiously.

Lin Fan said, “Eh, go ahead.”

Xu Song took in a deep breath, “My name is Xu Song, Xuanshu College 4th generation disciple, Initial Grade Twelve. I came with my Master Uncle and Senior Brother to complete a mission. When we passed by Fuzhou, we heard that something happened at Black Mountain, so we went over.”

“Black Mountain is 1,000 miles from here, it is a mountain on the ocean surface, it is very huge, one won’t see the end of it. Due to our strength, we didn’t go too deep in. But an Elder from Sword Palace did and something terrifying killed him instantly. We left right away and didn’t dare to go in. That is the exact situation, I don’t know much more.”

“Oh right, my Uncle Master is Initial Grandmaster, out of my Senior Brothers only one is Middle Master, the rest are around my level.”

“Big Brother, I swear to the heavens that this is all I know. Till know, I don’t even know what is inside Black Mountain that attracted so many people. If I even lied, let the heavens strike me.”

Xu Song felt that he had lost face.

No matter what he was a fourth-generation disciple of Xuanshu College. Even if he wasn’t as strong as disciples from previous generations, he was loved by the seniors.

Now that someone placed a knife on his neck, he became so weak, nearly betraying his own sect.

Pa!

Lin Fan directly knocked Xu Song out.

He believed the words of that fellow.

There were many people on Black Mountain. The information that had been revealed tempted him. If he went over, he might be able to make a name for himself.

The next day!

Xu Song felt that the area around was very noisy, so it was hard for him to fall asleep.

Suddenly, his body shivered. He opened his eyes. The sunlight was piercing. He noticed a lot of people around who were pointing at him, covering their mouths as they laughed.

He lowered his head and shouted. He was not wearing anything, his clothes tossed aside. His snow-white body was exposed to all these people.

Oh my god.

He went against his words. He had said everything last night, so why did the other party still play him.

Xu Song grabbed his clothes and placed them over himself. He lowered his head and dashed out.

He felt really wronged.

A crystal-like tear flowed down the corner of his eyes.

He wanted to return to tell Master Uncle that he was held hostage and he even dirtied him. No, no one could find out about this, otherwise, he would lose face.

The moment he returned to Juxian Hall, he noticed that Master Uncle and the others were waiting for him.

“Junior Brother Xu, where did you go? Why did you only just come back?” A Senior Brother asked.

Xu Song wanted to complain but he bore with it, “Nothing, a girl got lost last night, so I sent her back. Sorry for the delay.”

Master Uncle looked at Xu Song and he didn’t see anything wrong with him, “Okay, let’s head back and report the Black Mountain matter.”

Black Mountain was near Nine Bug Gang.

This gang made their Xuanshu College feel really shameless. They were an evil sect but Insect Valley was just too strong, so even if they closed one still had to pay close attention to them.

That terrifying being in Black Mountain was definitely over Grandmaster Realm, internal strength turning into true essence, reaching the God Essence Realm.

That realm was just too terrifying, it was already a physical change.

Based on what he knew, many Peak Grandmaster Experts were stuck there and died in regret.

After all, it took decades for one to reach Grandmaster Realm.

With him at Initial Grandmaster now, to reach the peak would need a long time.

Cultivation was a journey that was filled with dangers.

At that moment, the helper pulled the horse over. “Sir, I pulled your horse here. Take a look, it looks so energetic.”

“Eh, not bad, this is for you.” Lin Fan was satisfied, tossing some silver to the helper and then walking into the distance.

The helper took the silver and he was really happy. He shouted, “Sir, have a good trip.”

Xu Song felt that the voice was familiar. He looked into the distance. Last night, he didn’t catch what that person looked like, anyway, he was young. However, he remembered the voice.

Suddenly, Lin Fan turned his head, giving out a smile with deep meaning.

That smile caused Xu Song’s body to shiver.

It is him, it is definitely him.

However, he didn’t dare say anything. This was an unforgettable insult to him and he would never forget about this entire matter.

Master Uncle said, “Xu Song, do you know him?”

“I don’t.” Xu Song shook his head, he definitely didn’t.

…

“Pass by Fuzhou to Black Mountain, do some things around Fuzhou. Maybe I will obtain some things.” Lin Fan rode on the horse. He was in deep thought.

How annoying.

Nine Bug Gang gave them huge pressure.

If he was slightly stronger, he wouldn’t have felt so annoyed.

He couldn’t blame others.

He could only blame himself for being weak.

He was bored while riding the horse, so he checked the small support system.

Rage Points: 42,999.

The rage points were quite decent. Nine Bug Gang’s Hall Heads really worked hard. He didn’t only kill them, but he earned a huge wave from them.

Demon Heart Enforcing Scripture was only Great Ten, he raised it to Grade Twelve.

Improve.

Consumed 6,000 rage points.

Consumed 7,000 rage points.

Instantly, Lin Fan, who was sitting on horseback, felt his body change. Thick black mist spread from his body. From afar, he looked like a demon.

Maybe he was the first person who broke through in heart cultivation while riding a horse.

Although there were many amazing people, Lin Fan was the most cool one.

The horse felt that terrifying aura. It was shocked, raising its hooves high up as it neighed to show the rage in its heart.

Pa!

Lin Fan punched, “Run properly, why are you making such a fuss like you have never experienced things?”

The horse cried out. It felt wronged.

It was just a horse and really didn’t see many things in the world.

Suddenly, Lin Fan grabbed his head. He thought about an important question. He thought that he was smart but actually forgot such an important thing.

He knew Bug Controlling Technique, so why couldn’t he buff the horse with special internal strength? Maybe there would be some shocking changes.

Refresh.

A thick grey internal strength merged into the body of the horse.

Instantly, the horse mutated. The grey internal strength seemed to have changed the structure within.

Puchi!

Low swelling sounds spread over. The legs of the horse became much bigger as many earthworm-like veins were all around. Three sharp toes stretched out from the hooves which grabbed the ground, becoming swifter and heavier.

Its body was much bigger, its eyes turned grey. Its teeth became sharper like saws.

Hong!

The horse became quicker, two to three times quicker. At the same time, it gave off a cold and violent aura.

Lin Fan was shocked. He didn’t study the Bug Controlling Technique usually, but now he noticed that it truly was Insect Valley’s secret.

He could even sense that Insect Valley was someone that Imperial Dynasty didn’t want to offend.

After all, the Bug Controlling Technique was too strong.

He believed that Internal Strength definitely had many experts. He could control many bugs using the special internal strength, so how many could those experts control?

Even the armies of the Imperial Dynasty, they would be swallowed by these endless bugs.

Overpowered, truly overpowered.

However, he believed that he was the most overpowered. As long as he had time to improve, when he reached his peak, he would be able to fight one against a country.
