Chapter 197: They're... Here!
Lin Dong, Mo Ling, and the others sensed it too and immediately became alert.
Wind-breaking sounds rushed in, and moments later, figures shot out from the forest's edge, appearing on the open ground before Lin Fan and his group.
"Hahaha, Brother Lin Fan, it's been half a year! Hope you've been well!"
At the head of the group stood a handsome man in white, cupping his hands with a hearty laugh.
"So it's Brother Liu Bai. Don't tell me you're here for our Nirvana Seals?"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, smiling faintly.
The speaker was none other than Yao Spear Liu Bai, whom Lin Fan had met during the Ancient Treasury.
Back then, Liu Bai had spent fifteen million Nirvana Pills to buy a key from Lin Fan.
Behind Liu Bai stood Mu Hongling and several unfamiliar figures, all of them giving off strong auras.
"You jest, Brother Lin Fan. We wouldn't dare have such thoughts," Liu Bai said with a smile.
"We're here today to propose a collaboration."
"Collaboration? Because of the Four Demonic Sects?"
"Exactly. The Daluo Dynasty's Zhuyuan inheritor was wiped out by your hand, but three more powerful dynasties remain, waiting for us to walk into their trap."
Liu Bai's tone turned serious.
"Among them, the Tianmo Dynasty—the inheritors of the Gluttonous Sect—are especially dangerous. They're one of the top ten super dynasties."
"We've already clashed with the Bloodprint Dynasty and ended in a draw.
But if they join forces with the Bonejade Dynasty and the Tianmo Dynasty, we won't stand a chance."
"Then let's go. I'd like to see just how powerful these three dynasties really are."
Lin Fan said casually, a faint smile on his lips.
Having reached the Seventh Yuan Nirvana stage, Lin Fan now stood unchallenged on this battlefield.
He feared no one.
His team had a few relatively weaker members, so letting Liu Bai's group help would allow him to focus fully on the battle.
"You're agreeing?!"
Liu Bai and the others looked delighted.
They had expected a tough negotiation—after all, they'd be facing the Tianmo Dynasty, one of the ten strongest forces on the continent!
Lin Dong smiled.
"Even without this alliance, we'd clash with the Tianmo Dynasty eventually, wouldn't we?
We didn't fight this hard for a year to run away now."
"Exactly!"
Liu Bai nodded fervently.
"Lead the way, Liu Bai."
Lin Fan waved his hand.
Liu Bai nodded and, without wasting time, took the lead.
Lin Fan and his group followed leisurely behind.
With the two groups joined, their momentum grew even more imposing.
Considering the fame of both Liu Bai and Lin Fan, many onlookers were amazed to see them united.
"What's Lin Fan doing with Liu Bai?"
"Heh, they're all Profound Sect inheritors. Word is, the Demonic Sect heirs are already waiting for them at Hundred Dynasty Mountain's base. Of course they'd team up."
"They're doomed. I heard the Gluttonous Sect's inheritor from the Tianmo Dynasty is one of the top Ten Heaven Rankings—one of the Song family's three devils. They're Five Yuan Nirvana experts!"
"We'll see about that. Didn't Lin Fan annihilate the Daluo Dynasty alone? This might be a battle worth watching."
"Come on! We can't miss this!"
…
The already chaotic forest boiled with excitement as Lin Fan and Liu Bai's united forces flew through.
…
At the southern foot of Hundred Dynasty Mountain, a vast field of scattered boulders was already filled with waiting forces.
At the center sat more than ten people, cloaked in black robes adorned with skeletal designs.
Their robes swayed gently in the wind—
and it looked as if the skulls on them might burst forth at any moment.
These were the Tianmo Dynasty's warriors, and at the forefront were the notorious Three Song Devils: Song Zhen, Song Que, and Song Ba.
This boulder field was one of the few paths to Hundred Dynasty Mountain—anyone approaching from the south had to pass through here.
So the Song brothers lay in wait—
knowing full well that Lin Fan and Liu Bai would come.
"SWOOSH!"
A blue figure streaked in from the distance, landing gracefully atop a boulder.
It was none other than Lan Ying, whom Lin Fan had briefly encountered earlier.
"Quite the grand welcome…"
Lan Ying murmured, her beautiful eyes narrowing as she looked toward the center.
Suddenly, a chuckle came from behind her.
"Looks like the Tianmo Dynasty is serious about eliminating Lin Fan's group."
A figure landed beside her.
He wore moon-white robes and carried a longsword across his back.
Lan Ying greeted him as Qing Feng, clearly an acquaintance.
Qing Feng glanced toward the Song brothers.
"Those three look intimidating. Will Lin Fan really dare show up?"
"You're wrong this time,"
Lan Ying said with a smile.
"They'll be here any moment. Lin Fan…"
She paused.
"They're here!"
As she spoke, a gale stirred the trees.
SWOOSH—!
From the depths of the forest, dozens of figures shot forth, surging with battle intent—as sharp and swift as blades.
At the same time, the Song brothers opened their eyes, releasing a torrent of pressure as they rose to their feet.
The arrival was unmistakable.
All eyes turned toward the sound of rushing wind.
Shock and anticipation filled the air.
At the center, the Three Song Devils rose without a word.
Their overwhelming auras made the air tremble faintly.
"Heh, they've got guts.
Even knowing the Tianmo Dynasty is lying in wait, they still show up?"
A sinister laugh echoed behind the Song brothers.
Two figures appeared—
One in blood-red robes, the other in bone-white garments: Xue Ying of the Bloodprint Dynasty, and Hua Gu of the Bonejade Dynasty.
Now, all three demon sect heirs had assembled.
They immediately began discussing how to divide their forces to crush Lin Fan's group.
But then—
A lazy, teasing voice rang out from the boulder field.
"Wow, what an extravagant welcome.
You sure know how to flatter us."
Every head turned toward the source of the voice.
Lin Fan had arrived.
