After absorbing Gu Fan's fortune,
Instantly, Lin Lee was startled; he felt his connection with Gu Fan disappear.
Lin Lee's brow furrowed. 'Why did he die suddenly?'
He glanced at the sky, as if something in heaven and earth had changed. The dark and heavy clouds gathered in the atmosphere, with thunder and lightning flickering inside. A horrible suppression spread through the whole spirit continent.
Lin Lee felt the aggression in the atmosphere raise his brow; he felt as if heaven were angry. He muttered, "Does heaven always react like this upon heavenly children's deaths?"
Then he shook his head, didn't care, flew and appeared in front of the immortal palace artifact, dropped his blood above, and added his consciousness ray to it. After refining it and making it his own, he appeared inside the immortal palace.
Inside the palace, Lin Lee's expression froze.
Looking at Gu Fan, lying on the ground with his heart being pierced by an immortal sword, and a few females standing far away, they were looking at Lin Lee alertly.
"Who among you killed him?" Lin Lee asked, strangely looking at them,
'Are they his wives and concubines?' Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at Gu Fan's dead body speechlessly, 'I thought he died because of fortune depletion; I didn't expect he would die in his own wife's hands.'
"I did it; this bastard killed my father and brother and forcefully kidnapped me here after I rejected marrying him." A young female with a round face spoke among them, looking at Gu Fan's corpse. Hatred and resentment flashed through her pupils.
Lin Lee became speechless looking at her. 'Will Chu Lan stab me like that?' A shiver rushed through his spine, then he hurriedly shook his head, removing speechless thoughts from his mind. He will not force anyone to be his wife. Also, he isn't interested in marrying now.
Then Lin Lee glanced at other females and asked, "Are you all his wives?"
Their faces turned red, and they nodded one by one. Looking at Gu Fan, they hesitated, then glanced at the young female; she was their sister, and now she had killed their husband. They fell silent and didn't say anything.
Lin Lee's expression became strange: 'Why aren't they reacting? Were they all forcefully kept inside here? Although Gu Fan doesn't look like such a person, it may be possible. Also, Should I kill them all?'
Lin Lee thought for a while, then shook his head, noticing a few of them were pregnant with children.
'This guy probably wanted to revive Chu Clan; that's why he collected so many.'
Lin Lee thought speechlessly and then said, "Tell me your clan names; I will drop you there. I had enmity with this guy, and I hunted him, although he didn't die in my hands. But when your children and grandchildren ask you who killed him, tell them it was Immortal Lin Lee."
Hearing Lin Lee's words, fear and disbelief flashed through these female pupils.
'Immortal?' Everyone's heart tightened hearing Immortal; they bowed their heads, reporting their clan names and locations truthfully, not daring to look at him straight.
Similarly, Meng, Mei, and Xuan tribes also closed their borders, except for the Dark Phoenix clan.
Inside the west of the spirit continent,
The whole dark phoenix clan is restless; a few figures are flying in the void, spreading their senses. Inside the whole dark phoenix tribe searching for something,
After a while, these figures appeared in front of a male wearing a red and black crown standing beside a red tree.
They spoke anxiously, "Your Majesty, we can't find the princess. She escaped again."
The middle-aged man glanced at them; a helpless expression appeared on his face. He then said, "I told you before to keep an eye on her; now go and keep searching for her."
"Yes, your majesty," the guardian said guiltily and embarrassingly. He flew away toward the outside direction of the trible, turning into a huge dark black phoenix with red feathers at the edges of his wings and a long tail.
The young man below, with a crown on his head, glanced at him, then turned around and walked toward the palace. He muttered regretfully, "I shouldn't have given her that treasure. Now she is using it to escape."
"So it was you who helped her escape." An ethereal but stern voice sounded in his ears.
The next moment, his expression changed as he looked at the beautiful female with white hair and a red crown standing in front of him with a cold expression on her face.
The man smiled wryly and said, "Don't worry, dear; our daughter is intelligent, and it's not the first time she ran away from home. She will return safely."
The female was startled, then her brow furrowed angrily, looking at him, and she threatened, "Listen, it's you who gave her the concealing treasure; it's all your fault; you spoiled her very much; this time I will definitely cut her wings."
The man shrank his neck, hearing his wife scolding, but didn't dare say anything in return, just praying in his heart, 'I hope she doesn't return soon, or I won't be able to save the wings of my precious baby daughter.'
...
On the other hand,
Lin Lee returned to the sect and applied for promotion to core disciple. Sensation spread through the whole sect; even the sect leader was alarmed.
A few top immortal figures appeared above the assessment area, looking at Lin Lee as he went to confront the immortal puppet.
"Master, is he the one you wanted to accept as an apprentice? It seems he doesn't need a master now; he already has mid-immortal strength." The sect leader spoke to the old man beside him, standing far away on the roof, looking in the direction of the arena.
The old man was also surprised to see the direction of the arena. Before, because of bead spirit concealment, he couldn't assess the true strength of Lin Lee, but now he can clearly sense the multiple mid-level immortal law suppressions around his body.
"I was right; such a talent is unheard of." The old man muttered, then sighed, gave up, and started watching the battle.
