Chapter 525: To the City of Despair, to Kill the Marquis of Despair

“Jie jie, I didn’t expect someone to fall right into our trap,” said the ancient clan’s chieftain arrogantly, looking at Lin Fan with disdain in his eyes, as if Lin Fan were nothing but a tiny creature in his view.

The people from this small dragon clan village, upon seeing Lin Fan’s sudden appearance, felt a surge of hope in their hearts.

“Great sir, please, save us,” pleaded the dragon clan members. They didn’t know who Lin Fan was, but at this moment, whoever appeared was their beacon of hope.

“Save you? Haha, this guy can’t even save himself. You actually expect him to save you? That’s just a dream,” laughed the ancient clan’s chieftain.

Lin Fan calmly looked at the ancient clan members before him, no longer feeling the same excitement he once did when seeing them.

Because all these ancient clans were simply too weak.

So weak they couldn’t even compare to chickens.

In Lin Fan’s eyes, anyone from the ancient clan below the Huang Tian level was like an ant, and even those at the Huang Tian level were merely slightly stronger grasshoppers.

The villagers from this small dragon clan village looked at Lin Fan with infinite hope in their hearts. They knew the consequences of being recaptured by the ancient clan would be horrifying.

In their hearts, the ancient clan was too cruel and terrifying.

“You’re all too weak. You don’t even spark the slightest excitement in me,” Lin Fan shook his head. When he first saw a group of ancient clan members, he felt a slight ripple of emotion, but upon approaching, he realized this group was simply pathetically weak.

“Haha…” At this moment, the ancient clan chieftain burst into laughter.

Lin Fan had no desire to say anything more to these ancient clans. As for rescuing these dragon clan people, it was merely an effortless act for him.

At this moment, Lin Fan slowly extended one hand.

“What are you trying to do? Do you actually think you alone can challenge our ancient clan?” Seeing Lin Fan suddenly extend his hand, the ancient clan chieftain scoffed disdainfully.

But in an instant, the ancient clan chieftain’s expression changed drastically.

“Annihilate,” Lin Fan said calmly, slightly lifting his hand.

In the air, supreme sword intent filled the space. This sword intent tore through the heavens, unstoppable and invincible. In an instant, it descended and slaughtered all the ancient clan members.

The villagers from the small dragon clan, witnessing this scene before them, were stunned.

They never expected the ferocious ancient clan to die like this, without even the slightest resistance.

“Ding, congratulations on defeating…” Lin Fan silenced the system’s notification. These ancient clans, as weak as ants, weren’t even worth his attention.

At this moment, Lin Fan moved, continuing forward.

The villagers from the small dragon clan looked at Lin Fan, with his flowing hair and calm demeanor, filled with awe in their hearts.

With a mere gesture, these ancient clans that seemed invincible to them were dead. How could this not shock them?

“Big brother, thank you,” the child who had nearly been eaten by the ancient clan wiped away his tears and called out to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan stopped, turned around, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, “No need to thank me.”

“Benefactor, thank you for saving our clan. Please leave your name with us; our clan will remember it forever,” an elder from the dragon clan stepped forward and asked.

“Lin Fan.”

The villagers of the small clan remembered this name. They would never forget this person before them because this person had saved them all.

Just at this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in the sky.

“Grandfather, are you alright?” Among the figures, a man hurriedly rushed to the elder’s side, anxiously asking.

“Xiao Sheng, you’ve finally come.”

This man was the elder’s grandson. The reason this village was discovered by the ancient clan was because the elder’s grandson, on his way back, had killed two ancient clan members. Because he hadn’t been careful enough, he was followed by the ancient clan, ultimately leading to the discovery of the village.

At this most critical moment, the man had left the village in a hurry, seeking help from his seniors at the sect, and rushed back quickly.

“Grandfather, how did all these ancient clan members die?” Xie Sheng looked at the ancient clan members, his expression slightly changing.

He could tell these ancient clans were pierced through by a powerful sword intent.

Whoever could display such sword intent must have an extraordinary mastery of sword techniques. Could it be that a senior from the sword clan had come to their rescue?

“Xiao Sheng, it was that gentleman who saved us. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable,” the elder said gratefully.

At this moment, Xie Sheng looked at Lin Fan. There was a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He noticed that the person before him looked ordinary, yet every move he made seemed to contain infinite profundity.

“My name is Xie Sheng, a disciple of the Huang Gu Long Sect. Thank you for saving my family,” Xie Sheng bowed respectfully.

Lin Fan nodded. Looking at these newcomers—three men and one woman—their auras were identical, likely from cultivating the same cultivation technique.

As for this “Huang Gu Long Sect,” it seemed to be a sect founded by a high-level dragon clan expert.

However, what slightly annoyed Lin Fan was that besides Xie Sheng, the other two men and one woman all had arrogant expressions, as if they looked down on everyone.

If it had been in the past, these two men and one woman would have certainly been forced to kneel before his might.

But now, he simply wasn’t interested anymore. They were too weak, too weak. He had no mood to play games with them.

“Lin Fan,” Lin Fan replied.

“Brother Lin, ahead lies the territory of Despair City. Where are you headed?” Xie Sheng kindly reminded him, assuming Lin Fan might not know what lay ahead.

After all, the Gu Sheng World was vast, and the ancient clans were densely distributed. Sometimes, one might encounter ancient clan members just by walking around.

However, at this moment, upon hearing Lin Fan’s reply, Xie Sheng was instantly stunned.

“To Despair City, to kill the Marquis of Despair,” Lin Fan said calmly, as if he were talking about something mundane.

“What?” Xie Sheng exclaimed in shock, as if he had misheard. Going to Despair City to kill the Marquis of Despair—such words he had never heard spoken so casually before.

Moreover, from Lin Fan, he sensed an aura that looked down upon the entire world.

“Hmph, doesn’t know his place,” said an arrogant man beside Xie Sheng disdainfully, looking at Lin Fan with contempt.

“Brother Lin, this is my senior brother. He means no harm. It’s just that the Marquis of Despair is extremely powerful, with countless formidable ancient clans under him. If you go there recklessly, I’m afraid…” Xie Sheng said worriedly.

“No problem. Except for the Marquis of Despair, who might be a challenge, the rest can be wiped out with a single palm strike. Well then, we’ll meet again if fate allows,” Lin Fan flicked his sleeve and directly strode into the distance.

“Brother Lin…” Xie Sheng wanted to say more but found Lin Fan had already walked far away. In the end, he stood there, stunned, his mind in chaos.

What had happened today was the most shocking thing he had ever heard.

“Hmph, arrogant fool. Junior brother, what’s the point of talking to such a conceited person? If he wants to go die, let him,” said Mu Longtian.

“Exactly, the Marquis of Despair is immensely powerful. How could someone so self-important possibly stand against him? Junior brother, take care of your clansmen, and then we should return,” said Long Yue’er.

“This time, all the sects have received accurate intelligence that the Marquis of Despair is not in Despair City. We can take this opportunity to overthrow Despair City and rescue the countless beings from the Great Thousand Races imprisoned there.”

“Who provided this intelligence?”

“It seems to be from a small team called the Justice Squad. Their leader, Xia Zehua, went to great lengths to obtain this information, so it should be reliable.”
