Chapter 170: Chapter 0167: Abyss Sea (Thank you to Alliance Hierarch Darkness666)

F*ck!

Lin Fan could only say "F*ck" to express his inner helplessness.

He spoke so bluntly.

Yet no one believed him.

This was an insult to him.

Just how hated could Qin Heng be in the Qin Mansion?

Originally, it was idle curiosity—thinking back to what Qin Heng once told him about how badly he wanted to join the Immortal Sect, just so he wouldn’t be ridiculed. But fate didn’t grant him salvation; he was born without a Spirit Root and failed the selection outright.

"Enough, enough. If you won’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. But facts are facts."

"Now that I’ve seen Junior Brother Qin’s parents, you can rest assured. Junior Brother Qin is living well; he likely needs cultivation for a dozen years before he can return in his current circumstances."

"I’ll take my leave. If we meet again, it’ll be fate."

Lin Fan clasped his hands in farewell and walked out of the hall. Truthfully, he wanted to put on an act, but forget it—he’d spare them this time.

From this, it was clear how deeply Qin Heng had wronged others.

If he were to help Qin Heng put on airs, would there still be justice or law?

"Safe travels. No need to see you off," said the Clan Leader, clasping his hands and watching Lin Fan leave.

After his figure disappeared.

Qin Hao sneered, "Qin Heng really has skills, bringing someone in to stage a play. He truly thinks we’re all fools."

"Old Ninth, now that this child is back, you must discipline him. The clan members have invested so much in him—it’s one thing—but the Qin Mansion absolutely cannot have such disgraceful and embarrassing events again," the Clan Leader said angrily.

From the moment the outsider stepped in.

He’d been choking on suppressed anger.

He just didn’t want the Qin Mansion to lose face.

"Understood, Clan Leader."

Mr. Qin answered. Their hearts were heavy. They had thought Heng Er would join the Immortal Sect, but who would have expected this outcome.

Just then.

"Brother Qin, Brother Qin..." A voice called out from afar, urgent and trembling, as if some major event had been discovered, demanding an answer.

Hearing the voice, the Clan Leader quickly walked to the hall door. "Grandmaster has arrived. My apologies for not greeting you sooner!"

Seeing the visitor was the court Grandmaster, the Clan Leader immediately plastered on a smile.

To survive in Great Zhou City, strength alone wasn’t enough; one had to know how to curry favor with the influential—especially someone like the Grandmaster, second only to the Emperor himself. How could they not forge ties?

Though elderly and slow-moving normally, the Grandmaster now bore a tigerish vigor, grasping the Clan Leader’s hand resolutely and dragging him into the hall without regard for any observers, speaking incredulously.

"Clan Leader Qin, does your Qin family know the Immortal Master?"

"Immortal Master?" The Clan Leader was bewildered, then replied, "Not at all. How could our Qin family possibly know the Immortal Master you speak of?"

The Grandmaster waved dismissively, "Impossible. You think I’m blind? The Immortal Master just left your Qin Mansion. Well, then! If you’d told me earlier that you knew the Immortal Master, today’s palace disaster might never have happened!"

"Ahh!"

The Grandmaster sighed heavily.

The events in the royal hall today were truly shocking; many high-ranking officials had perished. If he’d known the Qin Mansion had ties to the Immortal Master, asking them to plead with the Immortal Master might have changed everything.

"Just left?" The Clan Leader froze, as if starting to piece things together.

Qin Heng’s parents stared at each other with wide eyes, their breathing growing ragged.

The Qin Mansion’s younger members were utterly shaken.

The Grandmaster said, "Indeed. This man is extraordinary—a disciple of Taiwu Immortal Sect. You know the Immortal Master guarding the Imperial Court? Even he must respectfully call this man ’Senior Brother.’ And the Emperor’s throne? He can decide who sits on it. He’s terrifying."

"When I saw the Immortal Master walk out from your Qin Mansion just now, I was so frightened I hid behind the stone lion and didn’t dare come out."

"Quick, tell me honestly—what is your Qin Mansion’s relationship with Immortal Master Lin?"

At this moment.

The room fell into silence.

A pin dropped would sound like thunder.

The crowd exchanged glances.

Then.

Qin Hao felt countless unfriendly stares directed at him—from the Clan Leader, uncles, and especially siblings.

"Hahaha..."

Mr. Qin burst into laughter, his voice hearty, as if venting all the suffocated frustration in his chest, "That’s my son’s Senior Brother! My son joined the Immortal Sect, and even if he failed the Immortal Sect’s assessment, he’s been blessed with his own fortuitous encounters."

"If he hadn’t entered the Immortal Sect, why would an Immortal Master come to deliver words on my son’s behalf?"

Mr. Qin was feeling elated.

"Grandmaster, Immortal Master Lin is my son’s Senior Brother. He just came to pass along a message for my son."

Hearing this, the Grandmaster exclaimed, "I never thought the Qin Mansion would have such an exceptional son, capable of forming ties with Immortal Master Lin and even prompting Immortal Master Lin to visit in person. This relationship must be extraordinary!"

"Clan Leader Qin, congratulations! With such an outstanding son in the Qin Mansion, your family will stand strong for centuries, even millennia!"

The Clan Leader felt embarrassed. He wanted nothing more than to throttle Qin Hao. What nonsense had this brat been spouting earlier? Thankfully, the Immortal Master hadn’t taken offense. If he had, it truly would’ve been disastrous.

And such a golden opportunity to form ties with the Immortal Master had been wasted. The more he thought about it, the more bitter he felt. He could only manage a forced smile.

The Grandmaster also intended to relay the news to the Emperor.

It was clear that the Qin Mansion deserved more attention in the future.

Having someone connected to Immortal Master Lin was no trivial matter. Soaring to unprecedented heights in Great Zhou City was only a matter of time.

The next day.

Lin Fan returned to Jiangdu City with Wang Zhou and others.

With his current mana levels, conjuring a Mana Shield and traveling underground was effortless.

His return to the mortal world was to visit old friends like Wang Zhou and his underlings.

But unexpected events had delayed him for several days.

Jiangdu City, at the city gate.

"Boss, when will you come back to see us again?" Wang Baoliu asked reluctantly. Boss’s departure for two months felt so short to him; he was unsure when he’d see Boss again.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I’ll come back to visit you all when I have time."

"Be careful out there. Though I’ve never experienced cultivation, I know where there are people, there’s trouble. Cultivation must be far more dangerous than the mortal world," Wang Zhou said, patting Lin Fan’s shoulder. He had much to say, but the words seemed stuck in his throat.

"Mm, don’t worry, I’ll be cautious. Lord Wang, you should retire comfortably in Jiangdu City. As long as the Imperial Court and Serpent Gang don’t lose their minds, there won’t be any problems." Lin Fan had eliminated their threats, ensuring prosperity for their lifetime.

The hour grew late.

Saying more would only bring sadness.

Lin Fan memorized everyone’s faces. "Everyone, there’s no need for lengthy goodbyes. I’ll return in the future, rest assured."

"Boss, take care."

"Boss, take care."

Lin Fan smiled, then performed the Earth Escape Technique and vanished instantly.

The group waved.

For a long time after.

"Lord Wang, when do you think Boss will come back?" Wang Baoliu asked.

Wang Zhou replied solemnly, "In the realm of cultivation, years pass like days. Perhaps we’ll see him again; perhaps not in this lifetime. He’s paved the path for our future—that’s already a fulfillment of a wish."

"I just hope that, a hundred years from now, in our final moments, we can catch one last glimpse of him. By then, we’ll likely be old and frail, while he remains as youthful as today."

That was why Wang Zhou had willingly handed over his credits to Lin Fan long ago. He believed Lin Fan would not only join the Immortal Sect but also protect Jiangdu City.

Now, all of that had come true.

Jiangdu City was under significant protection.

The Imperial Court had dispatched experts to guard it.

Half a month later.

Taiwu Immortal Sect.

Lin Fan had been away from Jiangdu City for quite some time, yet a part of him still missed it. Honestly, hanging out with Baoliu and the gang, flaunting his influence under his mother’s protection, and living freely would’ve been an incredible life. However, without improving his cultivation, his lifespan would only amount to a few hundred years—not nearly enough.

He wanted to live much longer.

"Mom, I’m back." Lin Fan said sweetly as he arrived where his mother stayed and walked inside.

"Gone for so long, and you still know to come back," said Wei You.

Lin Fan said, "Mom, I made a trip to Jiangdu City to visit my friends, but I missed you too much, so I rushed back."

"Oh, and Mom, here’s a gift I brought for you from outside. It’s not anything precious, but it looks very lovely."

He took out an exquisite hairpin.

He had picked it out while browsing in Great Zhou City.

"Oh, you still think of bringing your mother gifts," Wei You said, smiling.

Lin Fan had a knack for charming others, and Wei You had indeed doted on Lin Fan. After all, she had given him a set of high-grade Dao Armor for protection, allowing him to roam freely.

"Let me help you wear it, Mom."

Standing behind her, he carefully placed the hairpin in her hair before lifting a mirror. "It looks wonderful! Only Mom can pull it off—no one else can do it justice."

Wei You’s heart was full of joy, and she smiled.

"Alright, spill it. What do you want your mother to help you with this time?" Wei You asked.

Lin Fan quickly responded, "Mom, I brought you a gift purely because I missed you, not because I need a favor. That said, now that you bring it up, something did come to mind."

"I’ve been staying at Xuanjian Peak lately, but it’s gotten a bit inconvenient. I was wondering if I could have my own mountain peak—is that possible?"

Xuanjian Peak ultimately belonged to Meng Qingyao. And his interactions with her had been a bit tense.

To avoid further complications.

Of course, he needed his own peak.

Wei You said, "Alright, your mother will take care of it for you. Normally, only True Disciples of Taiwu Immortal Sect can have their own peaks, but don’t worry—I’ll handle it. Nothing is an issue with me."

"In a while, the Abyss Sea will open, and you can go there to seek opportunities. With the Heaven Defying Four Sacred Armor I gave you, you’ll face no danger inside."

"Thanks, Mom. I knew you were the best." Lin Fan was content, enjoying this life of being cared for—it was truly wonderful. "Mom, what kind of place is the Abyss Sea?"

"The Abyss Sea is where a once-powerful figure fell long ago. In his final moments, he set up a cave mansion filled with all his treasures. It opens once every ten years, offering opportunities to later generations. The time for its opening is near; you will go with the others to search for fortune. Perhaps you’ll find something valuable there."

To Wei You.

A fully equipped Lin Fan wouldn’t face any danger inside.

And free opportunities—why not take them?
