Chapter 241 - Chapter 240: Assassination!

The next moment, Dana's World Ring suddenly shattered.

A human woman three meters tall appeared before everyone. She wore silver scale armor, had long white hair, and possessed three eyes.

Luo Fan noticed that the instant she appeared, the surrounding space was completely sealed off.

She looked at Luo Fan with a complicated expression.

"To make a King-level Immortal assassinate you, you can be considered worth it."

"Although you are a once-in-tens-of-millions-of-epochs genius of the Human Race."

"But I'm sorry. Since you are an enemy of my master, you must die."

Powerful fluctuations of laws spread out from her body.

This human woman had been sent by the Insect Race.

She had long since been enslaved by an Insect Race Mother Empress.

She had been lying low within the Human Race for many years, all to play her role at a critical moment.

And now was that moment.

A genius like Luo Fan, who appeared only once in tens of millions of epochs, had already raised his body amplitude to more than fifty times.

He had also been taken in as a registered disciple by the Lord of Ice Peak.

In the future, becoming a Universe Venerable or even a Universe Overlord would be no problem.

There was even a slim chance he could become a Lord of the Universe.

Even if it was only a trace of possibility, the Insect Race would still go all out to assassinate Luo Fan.

Just like what happened to Kedi back then.

One had to know that even Kedi had not raised his body amplitude beyond fifty times at the Universe level.

That was why, this time, the Insect Race was prepared to pay an enormous price to assassinate Luo Fan.

Now that Luo Fan was only at the Domain Lord level, it was the perfect time to strike.

It also happened that Luo Fan had been sent out on assignment.

If he were still staying in the Primal Secret Realm, or carrying out cultivation missions, the difficulty of assassinating him would have been very high.

But now that Luo Fan had come to Vaulted Jade Star, it gave the Insect Race an opportunity.

Even if it meant exposing a King-level sleeper agent, they were determined to assassinate Luo Fan.

However, at that moment, everyone suddenly realized that they could not move at all.

This included the white-haired King-level Immortal woman.

"As expected, these insects are always thinking about assassinating the geniuses of our Human Race."

"They actually sent a King-level Immortal to assassinate Luo Fan."

"The Insect Race is really willing to pay the price."

A towering figure suddenly appeared before everyone.

The man looked at the King-level woman with a hint of regret in his eyes.

After all, she had once been a King-level powerhouse of the Human Race.

Moreover, she was a King-level powerhouse who had at least mastered spatial sealing.

It was a pity that she had been enslaved by an Insect Race Mother Empress like this.

As he thought of this, a flash of anger appeared in the man's eyes.

He waved his hand, and the King-level woman was instantly killed.

Since she had already been enslaved, there was no possibility of extracting any information from her.

At the same time, Dana was also killed.

After killing the two of them, the man turned his gaze toward Luo Fan.

"Luo Fan, remember this. The Ganwu Universe Country will always be your homeland."

"During the period you are stationed outside, if you encounter any problems, you can come and ask me."

After saying this, he vanished instantly.

Only after he disappeared did everyone realize that they could move again.

And with his departure, the Golden Sword King was also nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, the Purple Lightning Marquis and the other two were drenched in cold sweat.

When the woman activated spatial sealing earlier, the three of them could still barely move a little.

But when that man used spatial sealing later, they were completely unable to move at all.

"That was His Majesty just now, wasn't it?"

"It was the Country Lord!"

"I didn't expect the Country Lord to have been here the entire time!"

Everyone in the banquet hall felt as if they had narrowly escaped death.

Luo Fan also realized who that man was.

He was the Ganwu Country Lord.

He sighed inwardly.

"As expected of a high-tier Venerable."

"Everyone says Ganwu is poor, but no one ever says he is weak."

"If he were weak, he wouldn't be owing so many supreme treasure points."

As for the assassination attempt just now, Luo Fan felt nothing at all.

Even if the other party had succeeded, so what?

This was merely one of his incarnations.

Even if soul enslavement or soul annihilation were used, at most it would cost him a bit of energy.

So he had long anticipated being assassinated.

He just did not expect them to do it directly here.

He had originally thought they would try to assassinate him at his so-called "Ancestral Star."

That was also one of the reasons why Luo Fan had fabricated his origins.

He did not want foreign race powerhouses coming to Earth to assassinate him.

He himself did not care.

But the aftermath of such a battle would destroy Earth.

After all, even Luo Fan at his current level could casually destroy a small planet.

A planet like Earth could be shattered into countless fragments with a single strike from him.

So he would never expose the location of his Ancestral Star.

He knew that, given his talent, those foreign races would definitely try to assassinate him.

That was why he had never considered revealing Earth's location.

It was best to keep Earth hidden forever.

As for those who left Earth and wanted to conduct interstellar trade within the Earth's Universe Country, or travel to other planets.

All the spacecraft were provided by Luo Fan.

The onboard programs were subroutines of subroutines of his Mechanical Race avatar.

Anyone who wanted to return to Earth had to take a spacecraft provided by Luo Fan.

Of course, within the Earth Universe Country, Earthlings could ride these spacecraft for free.

They had already been relocated to other life planets long before Luo Fan participated in the Universe Genius Battle.

Now, these people had grown accustomed to living on their new planets and had no real desire to return to their Ancestral Star.

After all, the planets Luo Fan arranged for their migration were all more technologically advanced than Earth.

In terms of living standards, they were far superior to Earth.

In their view, the people living on the Ancestral Star might not even be living as well as they were.

After several generations, there might not even be many people left who knew about Earth.

At this moment, the Purple Lightning Marquis and the other two were hurriedly apologizing to Luo Fan.

After all, they were the ones who had arranged this welcoming banquet.

They were also the ones who had invited all the guests.

Yet an assassination attempt had occurred at the welcoming banquet.

If that King-level Immortal had succeeded in assassinating Luo Fan, the three of them would have been finished.

If it were just death, he could still be revived.

Even if it were soul annihilation, reviving a Domain Lord would not be a big deal for the Lord of Ice Peak.

But the most terrifying possibility was soul enslavement.

After all, the opponent was a King-level Immortal.

Even if she was not skilled in soul-based attacks.

No matter how weak her soul abilities were, once soul enslavement was used.

Luo Fan, who was only at the Domain Lord level, would definitely be unable to resist.

He would not even have a chance to self-destruct.

Once soul enslavement was used, it would succeed one hundred percent.

At that point, not only would revival be impossible.

The Human Race might even gain an additional genius enemy.

After all, with Luo Fan's talent, even if he were enslaved, becoming a King-level Immortal would be no problem at all.

Facing the flustered trio, Luo Fan did not say much.

Assassinations like this meant nothing to him.

After all, this was just an incarnation.

Still, he symbolically told the three of them to begin a thorough investigation of spies within the Ganwu Universe Country.

Soon, the banquet came to an end.

After the banquet, he paid a visit to the Ganwu Country Lord.

After all, the other party had just saved him.

From the Ganwu Country Lord, Luo Fan also learned the truth.

In fact, the Virtual Universe Company had originally intended to lure the snake out of hiding.

They had planned to send one of Luo Fan's Venerable senior brothers to protect this newly accepted junior disciple of their teacher.

However, since this was the territory of the Ganwu Country Lord.

Naturally, such a matter had to be reported to him.

After learning of the plan, the Ganwu Country Lord immediately stated that he would personally protect Luo Fan.

This would not only earn him contribution points, but also allow him to build a good relationship with this genius.

If it were only Luo Fan, there would be no need for the Ganwu Country Lord to deliberately curry favor with him.

Much less personally act as his bodyguard.

But when Luo Fan's status as a registered disciple of the Lord of Ice Peak was added in, it became a different matter.

Moreover, judging from Luo Fan's rate of progress.

Becoming a direct disciple of the Lord of Ice Peak was only a matter of time.

That was why the Ganwu Country Lord wanted to do him a favor.

After explaining the entire matter to Luo Fan, he also gave him some guidance on the Space Origin Law.

As a Space Venerable, let alone the Space Origin Law.

Even his comprehension of the Time Origin Law had reached an extremely profound level.

After all, he was a high-tier Venerable.

And a veteran high-tier Venerable at that.

If not for bad luck, he might already possess the strength of a Universe Overlord.

After this guidance session, the Ganwu Country Lord became even more convinced of his judgment.

He also discovered that Luo Fan's comprehension of the Space Origin Law was extremely deep.

Moreover, he was walking the path of understanding the essence of laws.

Now that Luo Fan had grasped 108 essences of the Space Origin Law, the road ahead could be said to be exceptionally smooth.
