Chapter 929: Settling Down

Shang Qingcheng was stunned at this moment. She never expected that one day she would be trampled upon in public, her face stepped on for all to see…

The men around her were furious, disgusted by Shang’s treatment, but witnessing the most beautiful woman in Litiang City being humiliated also stirred their heroic instincts to protect the fair.

However, when they recalled how the opponent had shattered a divine beast at the first level of the Divine Heaven Realm with a single punch, fear gripped their hearts. To them, it was simply terrifying.

“You bastard! I will definitely kill you!” Shang Qingcheng roared, her entire being transforming like a raging lion.

Lin Fan chuckled indifferently; such matters meant nothing to him.

As Lin Fan was about to leave, a furious voice suddenly echoed from afar.

“You bastard, let go of Qingcheng!”

A young man rushed over rapidly. Upon seeing the scene before him, his heart twisted in pain, as though something precious was being desecrated.

The crowd, seeing the newcomer, was instantly taken aback.

“The Crown Prince has arrived.”

“This young man is doomed. Everyone knows the Crown Prince has pursued Shang Qingcheng, and now this person dares to treat her like this—he’s brought upon himself a massive problem.”

Lin Fan hated trouble. He had come to this world merely to lie low for a while and figure out how to heal the Great Sage’s wounds. He hadn’t expected so many things to happen the moment he arrived—it was almost absurd.

Lin Fan didn’t want to say much. He released his foot and walked into the city.

Seeing this man act so brazenly, the Crown Prince naturally couldn’t tolerate it. With a slight shift in his gaze, his guards immediately understood his intent and surrounded Lin Fan.

“Hmph, seize him!”

These guards were no weaklings; each possessed cultivation at the second or third level of the Divine Heaven Realm. Within Litiang City, they were a formidable force.

But to Lin Fan, they were nothing more than annoying ants, clinging to him incessantly—an irritation.

Lin Fan’s eyes flickered slightly, and a powerful aura surged forth, crushing down upon the guards.

Thud!

In the blink of an eye, the guards appeared to suffer a heavy blow, collapsing unconscious one after another.

“You…” The Crown Prince was utterly stunned by this sight. He couldn’t comprehend what had just happened—his guards had been fine one moment and then suddenly collapsed.

“Don’t bother me, or you’ll bear the consequences.”

Having said that, Lin Fan ignored the Crown Prince’s expression and continued walking into the city.

The guards were always there to protect the Crown Prince, yet now, without even being touched, they had fallen flat. This left the Crown Prince in shock, realizing that this man was no ordinary figure.

Especially the way Lin Fan looked at him—so domineering and overbearing—it felt as if continuing to meet his gaze would force him to his knees.

To the Crown Prince, it was simply impossible.

Once the figure had disappeared into the distance, the Crown Prince hurriedly rushed to Shang Qingcheng’s side. “Qingcheng, are you alright?”

His heart ached. The woman he loved had been trampled before his very eyes, and he had been powerless to help—how infuriating.

“Get lost!” Shang Qingcheng shouted furiously, her face twisted with hatred as she glared into the distance. She stood up and left immediately, ignoring the Crown Prince’s embarrassed expression.

…

Meanwhile, Lin Fan now faced a headache of his own.

“You won’t accept the Holy Yang Pill?”

Lin Fan had intended to settle in the city and wanted to purchase a shop. However, the shop owner refused to accept Holy Yang Pills, which left Lin Fan somewhat speechless.

“I only accept pills that enhance cultivation.” The shop owner was a middle-aged man whose talent was nothing special. Despite years of cultivation, he had only reached the Wild Heaven Realm.

In this era, such a cultivation level was pitifully weak.

Lin Fan was frustrated. He thought the man must be mad—after all, couldn’t he use the Holy Yang Pill to buy other pills? Yet the man insisted that holding such a pill would only attract robbery.

Lin Fan checked his bag and found no suitable pills—most of the pills he had looted were already consumed.

With no choice left, Lin Fan decided to make one on the spot. With his current pill-making skills, crafting a pill was a simple task.

“This pill can help you reach the second level of the Divine Heaven Realm. How about it?” Lin Fan took out the pill.

Seeing the pill, the middle-aged man’s heart leapt with joy. Without hesitation, he signed the deed and transferred the shop to Lin Fan.

In such a world, fixed assets like shops were only valuable to ordinary people. To a true expert, they were practically worthless—just a flick of the wrist could shatter the heavens.

Lin Fan looked at the shop. It had previously been a medicine shop, so he decided not to change anything and continued selling basic medicinal pills to avoid drawing attention.

Closing the shop, Lin Fan immediately entered his inner realm.

At this moment, the Great Sage was meditating in midair.

“Why did you save me, human Emperor?” The Great Sage’s body was riddled with cracks, the destructive force still raging within him.

For now, it could only be suppressed, not expelled.

“Great Sage, why must it come to this? What will happen to the Monkey Clan if you die?” Lin Fan asked.

“Monkey Clan? The Monkey Clan no longer exists. I wish I had died with them.” The Great Sage’s expression was filled with sorrow and fury, his heart ablaze with rage.

“Then please, come with me to a certain place.”

Lin Fan waved his sleeve and instantly transported them into the Xuan Huang Realm.

At a certain location within the Xuan Huang Realm, the surviving members of the Monkey Clan had arrived, filled with anxiety at first. When nothing happened, they finally relaxed.

When Lin Fan and the Great Sage appeared, the surviving monkeys were overjoyed.

Seeing his kin, the Great Sage’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

“Great Sage, although not all of the Monkey Clan was saved, there are still half of them here. If you were to perish in battle against those supreme experts, what would become of them?” Lin Fan said.

The Great Sage looked at Lin Fan with gratitude and finally nodded. “Thank you.”

Never had he imagined that part of the Monkey Clan had survived. As long as they lived, with time, the Monkey Clan would eventually flourish again.

“There’s no need for thanks, Great Sage. I still have many questions I hope you can answer.” Lin Fan had many concerns in his heart and hoped to obtain answers from the Great Sage.

“Alright, ask whatever you wish. I will tell you everything I know.”
