Chapter 214: Where is the Trust Between People?

Xuan Yunxian’s beautiful eyes brimmed with fury. After a disciple from Daozhong Mountain came bearing news, her heart was seized by shock, and she hurried forward in haste.

Liu Lingfeng was her elder sister’s child. After that incident, her sister had entrusted Lingfeng to her. Back then, though still young and unaware of what it meant, she now understood—he was the only bloodline left from her sister.

From that moment on, Xuan Yunxian pleaded with the Pavilion Master to accept the child, begging to take him in and raise him.

But now he had been kidnapped. Xuan Yunxian was furious, anxious, and without hesitation, she rushed forward.

Seeing Liu Lingfeng’s current condition only ignited her rage further. On her enchantingly captivating face, a killing intent quietly brewed.

“Take good care of him,” she instructed the disciples who had followed, then sped off in pursuit of Lin Fan’s fleeing direction.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless. Once again, he had gotten himself into trouble. This woman, whose beauty was beyond comparison, was unexpectedly powerful—far beyond his league.

A Small Heaven Peak expert. Even with his robust physical body, he couldn’t dare claim to withstand her.

Lin Fan now activated his body technique, sprinting forward. Although cultivators at the Divine Entry stage could fly through the air, his pursuer was a Small Heaven Peak powerhouse. Could he possibly escape by flying?

Lin Fan inwardly rejoiced—he had worked hard to elevate his body technique to a high level. His running speed surpassed even flight.

Xuan Yunxian followed closely behind, her beautiful eyes flashing with killing intent. The speed of the figure ahead was astonishing.

“Stop right there!” she shouted furiously from behind.

“Hey, it was just a joke. You don’t have to take it this seriously,” Lin Fan pleaded while running for his life.

Lin Fan feared one thing above all—being targeted by a woman.

Women were unreasonable creatures. A disagreement could easily escalate into violence. Worse still, they might stubbornly pursue him without leaving any chance of survival.

“Hmph! What did you do to my disciple?” Xuan Yunxian roared, increasing her speed. Earlier, she had seen her disciple’s condition—torn clothes, weak breath, as if he had suffered brutal torment.

“Nothing! I just had a little chat with him,” Lin Fan replied, zigzagging as he ran. This madwoman was just too fast—if he didn’t maneuver like this, he might actually get caught.

“Hmph!” Xuan Yunxian snorted furiously. Her hand slashed through the void, her figure vanishing momentarily into the space, accelerating even more.

Lin Fan kept running, glancing back and seeing Xuan Yunxian using short-range spatial movement. He cried out in alarm.

“Don’t push me too far, or I won’t hold back anymore,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, pouring on the speed. Why hadn’t Liu Lingfeng said anything to defend him just now? Had his training failed?

That was impossible! His secondary profession as a trainer never made mistakes.

Right, it must have been the lack of time. Liu Lingfeng just hadn’t had the chance to speak before Lin Fan fled.

“Fine then! Show me what you’ve got. Hurting my disciple—you will pay today!” Xuan Yunxian coldly declared, her voice brimming with killing intent.

Lin Fan lamented inwardly. This was a failure in the history of training! He had worked so hard to reform Liu Lingfeng into a well-behaved disciple, yet now the mother hen was chasing him down instead of thanking him. Where was the fairness in this?

Just then, Lin Fan suddenly sensed a gust of deadly energy from behind. Without even looking, he immediately dodged.

Boom!

The ground shook violently, leaving a deep crater where he had stood moments ago.

“You crazy witch, you’re really trying to kill me?” Lin Fan shouted, heart still pounding.

“Hmph!”

Thus, the two raced forward relentlessly. Lin Fan was now in a panic—how could he possibly shake off this woman?

At this rate, he would definitely be caught. Although his body technique was highly refined, the gap in cultivation meant his speed couldn’t match hers.

Ahead, a sea of flames appeared. Lin Fan knew—it must be the Hell of Flames.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan clenched his teeth and charged inside. The Hell of Flames was a forbidden area, undoubtedly dangerous. Perhaps using this terrain, he could finally escape this crazy woman.

“Hey, you’re as beautiful as the moon veiling itself in shame, or fish diving in awe of your beauty. But why must you have such a fiery temper? We should calmly talk things over. Besides, I have a great relationship with your disciple. You can ask him yourself when you return,” Lin Fan shouted.

“Fine then. Let’s talk calmly. Stop running,” Xuan Yunxian replied.

This guy’s speed was actually this fast. Even with her secret techniques, she couldn’t catch up. Plus, ahead lay the Hell of Flames, a perilous place. She had no intention of following him inside.

If he ran in and attracted the ancient beasts within, it would disrupt her original plans.

“Alright, let’s keep our words,” Lin Fan said.

“Fine.”

At that moment, Lin Fan stopped, and Xuan Yunxian halted as well.

They stared at each other from a distance.

“I really didn’t do anything to your disciple. If you don’t believe me, go ask him yourself,” Lin Fan said, slightly out of breath. This high-speed chase had left him somewhat exhausted.

What was this trip even about? Nothing good had happened. Not only had the Tuodi Divine Temple been a disaster, but now he was being chased and hunted. Truly, no one else could have such bad luck.

Xuan Yunxian’s peerless beauty radiated authority, her gaze like that of an empress surveying her domain.

But in an instant, she erupted in fury. Her delicate hand, brimming with boundless true energy, struck toward Lin Fan.

“I believed your nonsense!” Lin Fan exclaimed, his expression instantly changing. He immediately resumed his frantic escape.

“You damn woman, breaking your word! Can’t people even trust each other anymore?” Lin Fan roared furiously. How despicable and shameless she was. Compared to himself, she was truly incomparable.

At that moment, Lin Fan had already entered the Hell of Flames. The ground beneath his feet was no longer soil, but black, cracked earth from which surging flames rose violently.

“Ding! Congratulations, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +100.”

To Lin Fan’s surprise, the flames rising from the ground were actually adding experience to his ‘Indestructible Demon Body.’ It was truly exhilarating.

What left him speechless, however, was that his shoes had turned to ashes in an instant.

Looking at Xuan Yunxian, he saw her channeling true energy beneath her feet, allowing her to walk freely on this flaming terrain.

The Hell of Flames could truly be described as an apocalypse. The entire land was pitch-black, hard as steel. Continuous hellish flames danced wildly. Jagged, sharp rocks jutted irregularly from the ground. A crimson river of flames divided the Hell of Flames into two halves.

Lin Fan also saw some ferocious beasts, their entire bodies ablaze, walking across the blackened earth.

Suddenly, the entire ground began to tremble.

Xuan Yunxian, who had been chasing Lin Fan closely, stopped abruptly, her expression shifting rapidly. She wanted to turn back, but it was already too late.

From the boundary that divided the Hell of Flames, a towering wall of fire surged forth, separating the Hell from the outside world.

At this moment, Lin Fan noticed that Xuan Yunxian had stopped paying attention to him. Her expression suddenly tense, she immediately flew off into the distance.

“What the heck is going on?” Lin Fan scratched his head, puzzled.

This woman who had just been so determined to kill him—why had she suddenly ignored him completely?

“Could it be that my domineering aura had finally made her retreat?”

But as Lin Fan looked around, his face suddenly changed.

Oh no… He had gone too far.
