Chapter 771: This is a Sign of a Villain

“Huh, strange, I feel like I’m caught in the crossfire here.”

For some unknown reason, Lin Fan felt that he was somehow slightly involved in this incident.

But that shouldn’t be the case. He, as a person who always kept a low profile and acted with principles, never engaged in any illegal activities.

The Wang Family?

The Holy Demon Sect?

The Nine Heavens Sect?

Regarding the last one, Lin Fan admitted he had some connection, but what about the first two?

What was this “Wang Family” all about?

Lin Fan couldn’t quite figure it out. However, now that the old man had already captured those two girls, Lin Fan decided to follow behind and see what was really going on.

Tianshan City.

It had originally been an obscure city, but in recent years, it had developed rapidly, becoming one of the top cities in the Xuanhuang Realm.

“Look, those two women have been captured.”

“Sigh, how pitiful. Offending the Wang Family, who knows what torment they’ll endure.”

“Yeah, these two women are disciples of the Huajian Sect. But compared to the Wang Family, the Huajian Sect is like comparing a minor to a giant. There’s simply no comparison. Look, isn’t that the Huajian Sect’s sect leader? Judging from the current situation, he’s obviously here to apologize.”

On the streets of Tianshan City, the crowd was continuously discussing the matter.

Before long, the two women had already been brought into the Wang Family’s estate.

Lin Fan paused at the entrance of the Wang Family’s mansion. Seeing the two stone lions at the gate, he was immediately startled. There was some mysterious power hidden within these stone lions.

Though this power seemed trivial to Lin Fan, to the people of the Xuanhuang Realm, it was practically insurmountable.

“Oh my, I remember now. Isn’t this the protection of the Heavenly Dao?”

“The Wang Family? Wang Xiao Liu?”

At this moment, Lin Fan recalled something. The five years spent in the Gusheng Realm had caused him to forget many things.

Now, returning to this familiar place, it stirred up memories buried deep in his heart.

“Could it be that the Wang Family’s protector is actually me?”

Lin Fan suddenly remembered this matter.

Vaguely, he recalled that when he had left this place long ago, he had granted the Wang Family the protection of the Heavenly Dao, vowing to suppress any evildoers who dared to harm them.

Back then, in the sect, Lin Fan had made this promise, and naturally, he had fulfilled it.

But thinking about it carefully now, what he had said back then was truly extraordinary.

The protection of the Heavenly Dao.

In the Xuanhuang Realm, the Heavenly Dao was the ultimate authority.

To receive its protection was essentially to ascend to the heavens.

“Oh man, Wang Xiao Liu must have done a lot of bad things, and all those retributions ended up falling on him.”

“I knew something was off. Ever since I arrived in the Gusheng Realm, I haven’t had a single peaceful day. Always being chased and hunted, as if I was born with a face that invites mockery.”

…

Inside the main hall.

The head of the Wang Family sat in the center.

To his left and right were esteemed guests who had attached themselves to the Wang Family. These guests were very powerful, with several experts at the Grand Heaven Stage among them.

Plop!

Old管家把秦月儿和其他那个女孩扔了出去。

Translation:

Old管家 threw out Qin Yue’er and the other girl.

Old Butler threw Qin Yue’er and the other girl out.

“Master, we’ve brought them back,” the old man respectfully reported.

“Hmm.” The head of the Wang Family nodded. He stared at Qin Yue’er and the other girl for a while before silently placing his teacup down. “Do you know that your kick nearly cost my son his life?”

“Hmph, serves him right to die,” Qin Yue’er turned her head away and snorted coldly.

“Reckless!”

Old管家 stood to the side. Upon hearing these words, he immediately grew furious. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he was stopped by the head of the Wang Family.

“You don’t need to pretend innocence. If you’re going to kill me, just do it. I, Qin Yue’er, take full responsibility for my actions. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”

“Yue’er, what are you saying? Master Wang, please spare her life, considering she’s still young and inexperienced,” the old woman from Huajian pleaded.

Hidden in the void, Lin Fan watched the scene unfold and couldn’t help but sigh. This girl’s temper was indeed quite fierce.

But he hadn’t expected that after several years, Wang Xiao Liu, dressed in the master’s robes, actually looked the part.

As for Wang Xiao Liu himself, he remained the same as before, not changing much.

It seemed the only real change was his son.

“Master, master, your injuries haven’t healed yet,” at this moment, a figure rushed in hastily.

“You wretched woman, daring to injure me,” Wang Xiao Ming came storming in, overjoyed that the woman who had crippled him had finally been captured.

“Silence,” the head of the Wang Family roared, but for Wang Xiao Ming, it held no fear.

“Father, now that we’ve captured her, I must have my revenge. No one dares to bully our Wang Family,” Wang Xiao Ming shouted loudly.

Looking at Wang Xiao Ming before him, Lin Fan for a moment couldn’t reconcile this figure with the child he once knew.

How could he have changed so much in just five years?

The Xuanhuang Realm revered martial cultivation.

Generally, by the age of twelve or thirteen, one’s blood would surge, and they would rapidly develop into an adult-like physique.

“At the initial stage of entering the Divine Realm, his cultivation has gone to waste.”

In the void, Lin Fan looked at Wang Xiao Ming’s cultivation level and couldn’t help but shake his head in resignation.

“But this kid becoming so domineering and arrogant, yet surviving until now, must be largely due to my influence.”

Lin Fan vaguely remembered that five years ago, when this kid called him “uncle,” his previously non-existent fortune suddenly soared to unprecedented heights.

From then on, he was blessed with great fortune, unstoppable, defeating gods and Buddhas alike.

“Wang Xiao Ming, the cycle of karma is inevitable. You will face retribution,” Qin Yue’er cursed angrily.

“Retribution? I, Wang Xiao Ming, have never feared retribution,” Wang Xiao Ming snorted coldly and turned his head. “Father, I’ll seal her cultivation, and she’ll be mine.”

“Master Wang, I beg you to grant this old woman a favor,” seeing the scene before her, the old woman from Huajian couldn’t help but speak up.

“This time, I won’t give anyone face. This woman beat me to such a state, nearly costing me my life,” Wang Xiao Ming waved his hand dismissively, showing no mercy whatsoever.

“Don’t come any closer,” seeing Wang Xiao Ming approaching, Qin Yue’er immediately shouted angrily.

“Hmph, you hit me. Wait until later, and I’ll show you just what happens when you dare to strike me,” Wang Xiao Ming sneered.

Watching his son’s actions, Wang Xiao Liu couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. He was about to speak out to stop him, since his son was already safe and he no longer wanted to pursue the matter.

But at this moment, something shocking happened.

Qin Yue’er laughed coldly, her aura continuously rising, and around her body floated several white pills.

“Nine Heavens Thunder Pills.”

Seeing these white pills, everyone present was immediately filled with alarm.

These Nine Heavens Thunder Pills were weapons of the Nine Heavens Sect. If detonated, even experts at the Grand Heaven Stage could be injured.

“Arrogant brat, you can join me in hell.”

Qin Yue’er had already made her decision. If she fell into the hands of this arrogant young master, her fate would be unbearably tragic.

Better to self-destruct and take at least one with her.

“My son, be careful,” at this moment, Wang Xiao Liu suddenly stood up. His cultivation wasn’t high. Despite the Wang Family’s prominent status, Wang Xiao Liu’s cultivation level remained at the initial stage of entering the Divine Realm.

If the Nine Heavens Thunder Pills exploded, except for experts at the Grand Heaven Stage, everyone else might perish.

Indeed, a woman pushed to the edge was the most terrifying.

“Master, your disciple refuses to suffer humiliation alongside my junior sister. I can only do this,” Qin Yue’er looked at the old woman from Huajian and forcefully activated the Nine Heavens Thunder Pills.

“It’s too late…”

At this moment, the Wang Family’s guests were just about to suppress the situation but were already too late.

Seeing this scene, Lin Fan couldn’t help but shake his head in resignation. He flicked his finger, the void solidified, and the Nine Heavens Thunder Pills, which were about to explode, remained intact as they fell to the ground.

“How could this be?”

At this moment, Qin Yue’er’s face turned pale. She never expected things to turn out like this.

Old Butler immediately reacted and instantly subdued Qin Yue’er.

“You despicable woman, you actually wanted to take me down with you,” Wang Xiao Ming was furious and threw a punch toward Qin Yue’er.

Qin Yue’er closed her eyes slightly, as if about to find liberation.

But at this moment, the arrogant young master’s voice rang out.

“Let go of me, let go of me.”

As if an invisible hand in the void had grabbed him, Wang Xiao Ming was suspended in midair, his feet dangling, unable to move.

“Who is it?”

At this moment, everyone was greatly alarmed. They never expected someone to be hiding here, yet none of them had sensed a thing.

“Sigh…”
