“Thunder Clan Patriarch, you can’t just believe his words alone; we are allies!” the Bat Clan Patriarch hurriedly said, surprised by the unexpected turn of events.
“This guy is just making wild accusations. I don’t even know him!”
“I, the Demon God of the Ancient Clan, also wish to know exactly what is happening here,” said Han Tian Moshen, his eyes gleaming with sharpness.
Lin Fan swallowed hard and looked at the Thunder Clan Patriarch. “Patriarch, if I speak, will you grant me a chance to live?”
“Hmph, do you really think you’re in a position to bargain now?” the Thunder Clan Patriarch rebuked fiercely. “But rest assured, as long as you speak honestly, I shall not hold your past against you.”
Inwardly, the Thunder Clan Patriarch already had a rough idea.
This young fellow had remained hidden among the disciples for a long time, unnoticed, yet suddenly rose in prominence, subduing Lei Kuanglong (Thunder Devouring Dragon), who had been granted the Thunder City by the Thunder Clan Patriarch himself. Only someone as mighty as the Thunder Clan’s supreme powerhouse (Qiang Zhe) could have easily subdued the Thunder Devouring Dragon.
Unless he had received power from another supreme being, there was no way his cultivation could have advanced so rapidly.
Considering all the previous events, the Thunder Clan Patriarch was convinced there must be a secret involved.
Lin Fan lowered his head slightly, glancing at Da Sheng. It was clear the latter had sustained serious injuries from the Thunder Clan Patriarch’s previous strike.
If the battle continued, death was inevitable.
“Patriarch, Bat Patriarch and Tuntian Patriarch approached me, bestowed their power upon me, and instructed me to hide within the Thunder Sect. Then they ordered me to compete for the position of Punishment Hall’s leader and lead disciples to bully other races.”
“At the time, I couldn’t understand why, but now I do.”
“They wanted me to provoke the Monkey Clan, so that when you went to suppress them, you would be targeted by the Wing Clan Patriarch and the Crocodile Patriarch, thus preventing you from seizing the ‘Supreme Heavenly Combat Method.'”
Lin Fan spoke honestly. Although he had fabricated the story himself, in his own mind, it seemed quite plausible.
After Lin Fan finished speaking, the Thunder Clan Patriarch fell into deep thought. The more he thought, the more frightened he became, and gradually, he began to believe Lin Fan’s words.
“You little brat, spouting nonsense. You deserve to die!” the Bat Clan Patriarch roared furiously. He never expected to be outmaneuvered by such an insignificant being, especially when the Thunder Clan Patriarch’s expression suggested he might actually believe the youth.
If something really went wrong, this would be a massive loss.
The Thunder Clan Patriarch looked at the Bat Clan Patriarch. Although he still had some doubts, his gaze was gradually changing.
But immediately after, Lin Fan’s next words completely convinced the Thunder Clan Patriarch of the truth of his tale.
“Patriarch, what I say is absolutely true. The Wing Clan and our Thunder Clan have always maintained good relations. If I truly wanted to rob the Wing Clan, why would I reveal my identity? Even if I had ten胆子, I wouldn’t dare to do such a thing,” Lin Fan cried out.
The Thunder Clan Patriarch closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them and glared fiercely at the Bat Patriarch and Tuntian Patriarch.
At the same time, Lucifer and the Crocodile Clan Patriarch also turned their gazes toward the Bat Clan Patriarch and Tuntian Patriarch.
“Patriarch, I have told you everything, without any falsehood. I beg you, Patriarch, spare my life,” Lin Fan pleaded.
“Hmph, betraying me leaves only one fate: death,” the Thunder Clan Patriarch said coldly, his sharp gaze fixed on Lin Fan. Then, with a flick of his finger, a bloodline-controlling force erupted forth.
“Ahh!”
Lin Fan cried out as the Thunder Clan bloodline violently surged and then exploded, leaving him undeniably dead.
“Damn, the Thunder Clan Patriarch can indeed kill Thunder Clan beings through their bloodline!”
Lin Fan lay there motionless; the situation was simply too overwhelming.
Thankfully, he wasn’t actually a Thunder Clan member, or he would have died for sure this time.
However, the current situation had not yet improved, and he needed to think of a way to escape with Da Sheng.
“Thunder Clan Patriarch, you would rather believe an insignificant bug than us?” the Bat Clan Patriarch was furious. Everything had been going so well, only to be disrupted by this tiny pest.
Damn it, how infuriating!
“Bat Clan Patriarch, Tuntian Patriarch, you’ve gone too far,” the Thunder Clan Patriarch roared, his heart ablaze with boundless fury.
If Lucifer and the Crocodile Clan Patriarch hadn’t arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
As Lei Ming had said, even with ten胆子 (danzis), he wouldn’t dare act so recklessly unless someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
“The Thunder Clan Patriarch, Han Tian Moshen, and Wan Jiao Patriarch, let’s handle this monkey first and discuss the matter later. Tuntian Patriarch, let’s go,” said the Bat Clan Patriarch. Since Da Sheng was already severely injured, he surely wouldn’t give up so easily and was determined to completely subdue the monkey.
“Nonsense! Even if I spare the monkey today, I will make you pay the price,” the Thunder Clan Patriarch roared furiously, immediately stepping forward to intercept them.
“Bat Clan Patriarch and Tuntian Patriarch, your ambitions are clear. You treated me as a pawn. If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you’ll dare to defecate on our heads in the future,” Lucifer bellowed, instantly launching an attack.
“Damn…”
Seeing the scene before them, the Bat Clan Patriarch and Tuntian Patriarch cursed. This damned fellow had completely tricked them.
“Do you fools actually believe such blatant provocation?” the Bat Clan Patriarch roared. He never imagined these Patriarchs could be so gullible.
Meanwhile, the Thunder Sect’s many Hall Masters were stunned by the spectacle before them. Were they being made a mockery of?
Everything had been fine moments ago, and now they were fighting. It all seemed too absurd.
After faking his death, Lin Fan sensed the surrounding situation. The supreme强者 (Qiang Zhe) were no longer paying attention to him, so he immediately activated his invisibility ability.
Quietly, he approached Da Sheng.
“Da Sheng, don’t attack. It’s me, Taizi and Xiangjiao,” Lin Fan hurriedly whispered.
“You…” Da Sheng’s expression changed, especially at the mention of Taizi and Xiangjiao, memories he could never forget.
“Da Sheng, we can’t stay here. We must leave immediately,” Lin Fan said.
“No, I won’t leave. I must avenge my people,” Da Sheng replied.
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was furious. Avenge what sister? With the current situation, how could he even think of revenge? How many lives did he have?
By the time these fellows realized what was happening, it might already be too late.
“Da Sheng, in your current state, you can’t possibly take revenge. Staying here means certain death,” Lin Fan said. “Besides, I’ve saved most of the Monkey Clan. What will happen to them if you die?”
“Cursed! I never wanted to engage in conflicts; I only wished to protect the Monkey Clan. Yet it has come to this…” Da Sheng was filled with rage. The Monkey Clan had suffered countless deaths and injuries, and he could not let this injustice go unavenged.
