Chapter 117: The Road to Success is Right in Front
Somewhere in a desolate and gloomy place that possessed a terrifying ambience, a figure appeared from underground. He was vomiting blood profusely as he crawled on the ground. Anger could be seen written all over his face.
“B******, how dare you do this to me!?” the man in gray yelled in anger as he took a look at his injury. He had lost the lower part of his body, and blood was flowing all across the place.
“I would have been dead if I had not fused my blood with that beast’s.” The memory of the previous incident made him shiver in fear. He didn’t expect the other party to be so powerful that even he was no competition.
Their organization lurking in Spirit Wind City was eliminated by the old man of the Mo Family, turning many of their followers into casualties. They had planned to kidnap the Mo Family’s miss, but things spiraled out of their expectations.
The thought of Lin Fan’s attack frightened the man in gray. He’s exceptionally cruel. Much crueler than us.
Just then, the stone door that was tightly shut opened with a click. Two evil cultivators walked out of the door and came over immediately upon seeing the man in gray.
“Master, what happened to you?”
“Are you blind?” the man in gray responded, anger boiling deep in him.
“Yes. Yes. Please forgive me, Master.” The evil cultivators trembled in fear after being yelled at by the man in gray. They were just subordinates, so how could they dare to offend the man in gray?
Their master was currently in a miserable state. He was so seriously injured that he would have already died if not for the blessing given by the holy spirit of their religion.
“Master, Master Ming is here,” his subordinate said.
“What?” The man in gray was slightly taken aback. “Come and help me up! I have important matters to report to Master Ming!” he yelled.
“Yes.”
In this organization, status held great importance and members spoke with their power. Despite this, they were only able to live under the shadows and not under the sunlight. Yet the followers of the Divine Religion strongly believed that, one day, they would be able to breathe under the sun.
However, all of that needed time.
That hateful Magnificent Flame Sect… we must overthrow them.
The horse carriage moved on the road, jolting slightly on the way. Uncle Cheng drove the carriage with ease. He knew that it would be a smooth trip to the Cumulus Bazaar.
Even the armored guards on the sides heaved a sigh of relief too. With such a powerful cultivator among them, they would not be at a loss even if they came across another dangerous enemy.
However, they felt that the cultivator wasn’t a kind person.
He did not forget to take the dead evil cultivators’ possessions before they left. If he did not find anything on them, he would crush the evil cultivator’s skull with his legs out of anger. That isn’t something that a righteous person would do.
Now, he was in the same carriage as their miss. Nobody knew what they were doing, but they all hoped that the powerful cultivator would not go mad all of a sudden and kill their miss.
In the comfortable carriage, Lin Fan had a serious look on his face. After hearing the story from Miss Mo, anger boiled up his system.
“These people have gone overboard. Old Master Mo has been seriously injured due to eliminating the evil cultivators, and knowing that a Gorefiend Dragon’s inner core could cure Master Mo’s injury, those guys went to intercept and snatch the Gorefiend Dragon’s inner core away, causing the loss of our Gorefiend Dragon’s inner core. That’s too much!
“We are now rushing to the Cumulus Bazaar since we heard there’s another Gorefiend Dragon living in Scaled Dragon Lake.” Mo Lingyu sighed, sounding upset.
“That’s great. That means that there’s still hope. But with Miss Mo’s team, I’m afraid that it’s impossible for you to take down a Gorefiend Dragon.” Lin Fan said.
Mo Lingyu nodded. “Mm. That’s why we are heading to the Cumulus Bazaar to seek help from some elites. According to our research, the Gorefiend Dragon is at Earth Star Border Stage Five. Not only that, but it’s also a beast that lives in Scaled Dragon Lake, so it will still be a problem even for an Earth Star Border Stage Six cultivator.
“May I know Gentleman’s cultivation?”
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback. My cultivation? It’s too low. I’m only an Earth Star Border Stage Three. However, this business has been offered to me and the other party might not believe in me if I spill the beans. I need to stay calm.
“Very strong.”
Mo Lingyu couldn’t tell Lin Fan’s cultivation, and it was probably the same for Uncle Cheng too.
“Miss Mo, be at ease. My cultivation is enough to deal with this problem. You said that you have prepared twenty million to hire an elite to complete this task, right? To be honest, I feel that these people are being too much. I’ll take just eighteen million, and I promise that I’ll get the Gorefiend Dragon’s inner core,” Lin Fan said righteously. They are so shameless, huh? Raising the price… I must step out and help lower the price.
I have done a calculation. If this is successful, I’ll be a rich man with twenty-eight million. It’s enough for me to purchase some good pills.
However, the Gorefiend Dragon is an Earth Star Border Stage Five. It’s a difficult task, but it’s still possible. I will probably have to die a few more times, I guess.
If I can’t kill it with one life, I will just try again.
Mo Lingyu had watched Lin Fan fight, thus she believed in his power.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Gentleman Lin,” Mo Lingyu said.
Lin Fan waved his hands. “It’s fine. I’ll surely complete the task since it’s our second time working together.”
Wow, that scared me. I nearly became a volunteer. Luckily, I’m smart.
After this task, I’ll go and hunt for beasts to earn myself points.
However, it might be a good decision to get sixty thousand points right away so I can pick up the Magic of the Seven Gods. With level one Magic of the Seven Gods and Transformation into God Swordsmanship, I would be incredibly strong, and I might even be able to kill the Gorefiend Dragon immediately.
The next day, after traveling for a day and a night, they reached the Cumulus Bazaar. It was a place where cultivators usually gathered. From Mo Lingyu, Lin Fan knew that there were two danger zones around the Cumulus Bazaar; the Thousand Deep Cave and the Spirt Summoning Ruins.
Especially the Thousand Deep Cave. It was the most dangerous place since it was located underground. It had many openings, and the Cumulus Bazaar wasn’t the only opening to the Thousand Deep Cave. Nobody knew where it led to.
There were rumors that it led to somewhere in between the Sunshine Sect and the Magnificent Flame Sect, in the territory of the Sunshine Sect where disciples and cultivators trained.
But it was hard to tell if that was true or false.
Nobody knew, anyway.
The danger zones are made for me to earn points! Lin Fan thought to himself.
I have come to the right place.
After completing Miss Mo’s task, I’ll have to stay for a while.
A month later, that whatever religious brother will be there. There will surely be trouble.
“Gentleman Lin, we are here.” Miss Mo’s voice pulled Lin Fan back to reality.
“Mm.”
He exited the carriage. It was a lively place. This was the first time he had ever been to such a lively place other than the sect.
This was a marketplace for business as well as a heaven for cultivating.
For someone like me who does not fear hardship, I’ll get a lot in return.
The road to success is right in front of me.
