Chapter 293: Ren Yuzi Makes His Move, Ying Huanhuan's Worry!
At that moment, in front of Shi Dong and the other elders, space suddenly began to distort.
Then, a slender, fair hand extended out, and with a flick of its finger, an invisible wave burst forth—shattering the thousand-zhang Vermilion Bird!
Lin Fan's eyes narrowed as he stared at the twisting space before him, his expression becoming unusually grim.
"Heh, it's been many years since Dao Sect produced such a decent disciple. But… weren't your methods a little too ruthless?"
A faint chuckle came from within the distorted space, and then all eyes saw—
A figure slowly stepped out from the spatial distortion.
And at that instant, the heavens themselves seemed to dim.
A formless pressure rippled outward, so powerful it made many feel an uncontrollable urge to kneel.
"That's…"
Atop the pavilion, Ling Qingzhu stared at the emerging figure, her face paling despite her usual composure.
"One of Yuan Gate's Three Grand Elders… Ren Yuzi."
Beside her, a middle-aged woman clenched her jade hand tightly, her voice low and heavy.
At the same time, across all of Annihilation City, people instinctively raised their heads.
Incredibly, the figure bore no visible Yuan Power fluctuations, and yet the sheer pressure he exuded seemed enough to solidify air itself.
He wore a purple-gold robe, his long silver hair flowing freely. His eyes glimmered with ancient calm, while his skin was so smooth and youthful it resembled that of a baby—an eerie contrast that unsettled many.
The entire city fell into utter silence.
Masters from every corner of the super sects froze, their expressions solemn and their eyes locked on the sky.
"Ren Yuzi…"
The name was finally whispered, breaking the tense silence.
No one expected one of the Eastern Xuan Region's apex powerhouses to appear here!
…
In the sky, the four Dao Sect Hall Masters' expressions darkened. Their gazes exchanged uneasily.
Against a figure like Ren Yuzi, even they felt helpless.
The Dao Sect disciples below grew restless and frightened.
To them, Ren Yuzi had always been a mythical figure. Seeing him now in the flesh left many shaken.
Even Ying Xiaoxiao's face paled. Her jade fist clenched tightly as unease rose in her chest.
Ren Yuzi would not appear unless things had truly escalated beyond reason.
"Sis…"
Ying Huanhuan's face was pale with worry as she tugged at her sister's sleeve.
"It'll be fine…"
Ying Xiaoxiao gently shook her head, offering what little reassurance she could.
Lin Dong, Qingtan, and Xiao Diao all felt the same suffocating unease.
"Xiao Diao… is there anything you can do?"
Lin Dong's voice was tight, filled with urgency.
Of them all, Xiao Diao was still the strongest—perhaps he was the only hope.
Qingtan, Huo'er, and Xiao Yan all looked to him.
But Xiao Diao smiled bitterly.
"If it were just Ren Yuzi, I might be able to stall him and give us a chance to flee… but I doubt he came alone."
He didn't finish the sentence—but everyone knew what he meant.
Lin Dong clenched his fists and growled through gritted teeth,
"No matter what, we can't let Lin Fan face this alone. Even if it means death, we'll fight!"
Qingtan, Xiao Yan, and Huo'er nodded without hesitation.
Even Chen Kui stood firm, silently readying himself.
"Don't be reckless."
Xiao Diao raised a hand to stop them.
"Lin Fan told me… he has a way to handle this. Wait. If he really can't… then we'll go all out."
Reluctantly, the others held back.
Their eyes stayed glued to the sky, prepared to jump in at any moment.
…
In the sky, the six Yuan Gate elders knelt in mid-air the moment Ren Yuzi arrived.
"Grand Elder, we failed our mission," they said, visibly trembling.
"Step aside," Ren Yuzi waved his sleeve and said indifferently.
They dared not say another word and obediently backed away.
Then, Ren Yuzi's gaze fell upon Lin Fan.
"You slaughtered over five hundred of my Yuan Gate disciples… and now you plan to kill my six Division Heads as well. You're quite the ruthless little fellow, aren't you?"
His voice was calm—but his words chilled to the bone.
"Your killing intent is too heavy. You'll come with me to Yuan Gate. We'll help you suppress it. Then, let Ying Xuanzi come collect you personally."
Lin Fan stared at him and said coldly:
"What? So the mighty Ren Yuzi doesn't care about the rules jointly set by the eight super sects?"
Ren Yuzi chuckled.
"Rules? Heh… rules are only useful to the weak. The strong rewrite them."
He looked at Lin Fan with a peaceful smile.
"You may believe in those rules, but to me, they hold no weight. Come quietly. Once you're in Yuan Gate, Ying Xuanzi can come plead for you himself."
As his voice fell, Ren Yuzi flicked his sleeve—and space around Lin Fan twisted violently.
An irresistible force crushed down, freezing Lin Fan's body in place.
"You think you can take me?"
Lin Fan's voice remained calm—but his eyes burned with icy light.
"Mouthy brat. Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll just destroy your cultivation. Let Ying Xuanzi come fetch you later."
Ren Yuzi smiled, completely confident.
"Ren Yuzi! You've gone too far!"
Chen Zhen could no longer hold back and roared in anger.
"Oh?"
Ren Yuzi glanced at him with amusement. Then, without even lifting his hand, he tore open a rift in space.
SLASH!
The four Hall Masters attacked together—but their strikes were simply devoured by the spatial crack.
Then, with a casual sweep of his sleeve, a violent gust knocked all four of them backward, coughing blood as they flew!
…
Below, Xiao Diao's gaze turned icy. He was about to leap into action—
"Don't."
Lin Fan's voice echoed again, through divine sense.
At the same time, he activated one of the Spatial Ancestral Symbol's core powers:
Spatial Teleportation.
In the blink of an eye—before anyone could react—Lin Fan vanished from sight.
"What?!"
The six Yuan Gate elders froze in disbelief, as if they'd seen a ghost.
Even Ren Yuzi's eyes darkened.
The man who had smiled calmly the entire time now wore an expression of genuine coldness…
