Chapter 198: Revenge and Mission
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Three days later.
At dawn, the sunlight seemed to be smeared with a transparent layer of white, enveloping the ancient Ding’an City.
“Eh? Lin Yan? Why are you here?” Ning Xiaohui waved her hand. “Are you here for the mission too?”
At the entrance of the Demon Suppression Division, Lin Yan slowly walked over. Fan Xiaopeng and Ning Xiaohui were already waiting at the door.
Lin Yan nodded and looked at Ning Xiaohui and Fan Xiaopeng carefully.
Their auras were completely different from before. They faintly emitted an aura that made Lin Yan feel danger.
Especially Fan Xiaopeng. He raised his head and looked high-spirited, like a valiant rooster.
“You guys… succeeded in breaking through?”
This aura was similar to Wu Qinglei’s. It was clearly the feeling of achieving the Force Feature.
Ning Xiaohui’s eyes curved into crescents. “That’s right, that’s right. It’s all thanks to Issuer Liu taking care of us. Otherwise, we don’t know how long we would have to accumulate merits to exchange for the Force Feature!”
Lin Yan said sincerely, “Congratulations!”
Fan Xiaopeng’s lips subconsciously curled into an exaggerated arc, but he tried his best to pretend to be indifferent. “What’s there to congratulate? Isn’t a mere Force Feature a piece of cake? Don’t be surprised!”
Lin Yan: “…I’m not surprised.”
Fan Xiaopeng turned a deaf ear to him. The excitement on his face could not be hidden. He gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Yan. “Lin Yan, oh Lin Yan, 1 know that you’re powerful and talented in the Tough Realm. But now, we both have the Yellow Grade Force Feature. No one is stronger than the other. I don’t think you dare to bully me anymore!”
Lin Yan: “…Did I bully you?”
Fan Xiaopeng was about to say something when Ning Xiaohui patted his shoulder. “Petty! He still remembers how you grabbed the back of his neck previously.
“By the way, Lin Yan, I achieved the Force Feature of Explosion. Xiaopeng achieved the Force Feature of Wind Dance. I wonder what you achieved?”
Lin Yan remembered that Explosion was a special Force Feature. When the force was thrown out, it could explode like boiling oil. It was extremely powerful.
Wind Dance was naturally a Force Feature from the Wind Thunder Pavilion. It could exert strength like the wind and greatly increase agility and speed.
Lin Yan was not surprised by Ning Xiaohui’s direct self-exposure. As a team, they naturally had to confirm each other’s strength to cooperate better when participating in dangerous missions.
Looking at the curious Ning Xiaohui and Fan Xiaopeng, who kept glancing at him from the corner of his eye, Lin Yan could only shake his head. “I haven’t achieved the Force Feature.”
Ning Xiaohui and Fan Xiaopeng were stunned. “You didn’t break through? Why are you here if you didn’t break through?”
“What do you mean?”
Ning Xiaohui scratched her head. “Didn’t Issuer Liu tell you that only by successfully breaking through to the Noble Realm can you participate in this mission?”
Lin Yan shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
“Is that so? Could it be that Issuer Liu forgot?”
“I don’t know either… What are you doing?”
Lin Yan suddenly exerted strength in his feet and took a big step back.
Fan Xiaopeng suddenly reached out to grab him.
Fan Xiaopeng was excited. “You really didn’t break through?”
Lin Yan: “…Don’t tell me you want to fight me?”
Fan Xiaopeng’s eyes lit up. “Good, that’s great! The heavens have opened their eyes. I’ve finally seized this opportunity to let you have a taste of being grabbed by the back of the neck and picked up like a kitten!”
Lin Yan:”…”
At this time?
Was this guy’s brain filled with mush?
Fan Xiaopeng was getting more and more excited. He bared his fangs and brandished his claws, wanting to pounce on Lin Yan.
Lin Yan glanced at the interior of the Demon Suppression Division and suddenly took a step forward. A savage and terrifying aura flashed past. The excitement on Fan Xiaopeng’s face immediately froze. Like a mouse meeting a cat, he reflexively retreated 30 to 40 feet. Surprise and panic appeared on his face. “You, you, you…”
Lin Yan retracted his aura in a flash. As he retracted his feet, he raised his hand and shouted, “Issuer Liu, you’re here! Fan Xiaopeng wants to take revenge on me!”
Inside, Liu Lanqing, who was dressed in green, and Wu Qinglei, who was carrying a large wooden box, happened to walk out. Fan Xiaopeng instantly froze on the spot.
Half an hour later, the bruised Fan Xiaopeng had a fawning expression. He swore that he was just joking and would never really take revenge on Lin Yan. Only then did Liu Lanqing slowly extinguish the scarlet fireball in his palm.
“Alright, everyone is here. This mission will be carried out by the five of us. Venerable Issuer Bai will stay in Ding’an City to preside over the situation. Let’s go-”
Wu Qinglei threw the big wooden box on his shoulder to Fan Xiaopeng. “Xiaopeng, carry it.”
Fan Xiaopeng quickly took it from him and grinned. “Uncle Wu, what’s in this box?”
Wu Qinglei said mysteriously, “A secret weapon.”
“Secret weapon?”
“Didn’t we get blocked by the poisonous fog last time? This is the secret weapon to counter the poisonous fog.”
Fan Xiaopeng nodded and asked carefully, “Uncle Wu, did Lin Yan really not breakthrough to the Noble Realm?”
“Huh?”
Liu Lanqing glanced over again.
Fan Xiaopeng shuddered. “Issuer Liu! I’m just curious, curious! 1 don’t want to take revenge, I don’t!”
It was Lin Yan who took the initiative to say, “1 indeed didn’t break through to the Noble Realm.”
“Then how can you participate in the mission?! The two of us almost couldn’t come back last time. If you don’t have the strength of a Noble Realm martial master, wouldn’t you be courting death?!”
Wu Qinglei shook his head and laughed. “How can you compare your Tough Realm to Lin Yan’s Tough Realm? He even defeated Qin Xiang!”
“Besides, the most dangerous thing in the ruins is the poisonous fog. Lin Yan’s physique is special. He’s immune to all poisons. He’s more agile than us in the poisonous fog. We might even have to rely on him to find the path!”
Fan Xiaopeng pursed his lips. “What’s so great about defeating a coward like Qin Xiang? 1 can defeat him now too!”
The five of them left the city. Other than Lin Yan, the other four were all at the Noble Realm and were extremely fast. Even Ning Xiaohui, who was clearly not good at the Force Feature of speed, was still faster than Lin Yan after breaking through.
The four of them could only slow down before Lin Yan barely caught up.
From this, it could be seen that in his normal state, his combat strength could not be compared to the Yellow Grade Noble Realm at all. Be it speed or strength, even if he erupted with the Little Azure Dragon state, he could barely approach them.
If he activated the special effect of the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder, his destructive power would become extremely strong. A Yellow Grade Noble Realm cultivator would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Even if they slowed down, they were still abnormally fast. Soon, the five of them arrived at the edge of the poisonous fog.
After not being in the range of the poisonous fog for a long time, Lin Yan realized that the poisonous fog had become much thinner. Many places in the poisonous fog were cavities without any poisonous fog. Instead, the ground was dyed with a dark green color and was barren.
It seemed that a lot of the poisonous fog had sunk to the ground, causing the poisonous fog in the air to decrease greatly.
The five of them stopped. Other than Lin Yan, the rest took out two wooden planks the size of feet and stuck them to the soles of their shoes.
Then, they took out an antidote pill and swallowed it.
Ning Xiaohui waved the antidote at Lin Yan. “Now that the poison has entered the ground, do you want to get two wooden soles?”
Lin Yan shook his head, but his eyes subconsciously glanced at the wooden box behind Fan Xiaopeng.
It was obvious that the secret weapon Wu Qinglei was talking about was not used here.
After putting on their clothes and taking the antidote pill, the five of them advanced again and entered the poisonous fog.
The power of the Noble Realm circulated to protect their bodies. Coupled with the antidote pill, it was enough for Fan Xiaopeng and the others to come and go freely in the current poisonous fog. Then, what was the obstacle in the poisonous fog that they were talking about?
Liu Lanqing and the other three glanced at Lin Yan from time to time, secretly surprised.
Although they had heard from Lin Yan that he was immune to all poisons, they were still shocked when they saw Lin Yan really turning a blind eye to the surrounding poisonous fog.
As they entered the poisonous fog, Lin Yan casually asked, “Issuer Liu, have you encountered the Corpse Buddha Cockroach since you came in?”
However, a trace of fear flashed across Ning Xiaohui and Fan Xiaopeng’s faces.
Liu Lanqing also looked at them. “We encountered a few, but an accident almost happened later, so we returned to the city to rest and make more preparations.”
Looking at Fan Xiaopeng and Ning Xiaohui’s expressions, Lin Yan could roughly guess that the two of them must have suffered a huge loss before returning to Ding’an City. They would only set off after breaking through to the Noble Realm.
Next, Liu Lanqing took the lead with a very clear goal.
Lin Yan noticed that there were many places along the way where withered tree bark had been scraped to mark them. It was obvious that a month ago, they had already explored this large ruin and planned a clear path.
Soon, the five of them arrived at the cliff that Lin Yan had once been to..
