Chapter 486: Chapter 485: Comparing People Can Be Infuriating! (5th Update)

In the Imperial Palace.

Utter silence!

So quiet that a pin drop could be heard!

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

...

Ten seconds!

A full ten seconds of complete stillness!

The tens of thousands present all stopped breathing, and their hearts ceased to beat!

Dumbstruck, they watched everything before them as if petrified!

No one had expected the battle to end so decisively and swiftly!

Instant kill!

Li Shengzhe was instantly killed by Lin Fan!

"Hiss!"

Following that, a chorus of gasps arose, "My heavens! Is he really just a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator? How is it possible for a Nascent Soul Early Stage to instantly kill someone in the Void Refining Middle Stage? It must be a fake, a dream! Everything today is fake, I must be dreaming, right?"

"It’s a dream, definitely a dream! No doubt about it!"

"Hahaha! This dream feels just too real! How could I have such a dream? Damn!"

Many people shouted aloud, unable to believe their own eyes.

But.

The majority knew it was not a dream; it was reality.

Lin Fan truly killed Li Shengzhe with a single sword strike, with no room for doubt!

"How... how did he do it?" Ning Miaohan stood rigid, incredulous as she watched everything unfold.

"Is Li Shengzhe really dead?" A man beside her murmured to himself, in disbelief.

"Such a powerful sword! Even I would have to resist with all my might, or else I might have perished! And that bizarre movement technique, how did he manage to appear behind Li Shengzhe in an instant?" Brother Zhou’s eyebrows were tightly knotted, as if speaking to everyone and also to himself.

"No! No! Could it be that this kid’s strength isn’t Nascent Soul Early Stage?"

"That’s not right either! He is indeed a Nascent Soul Early Stage, no mistaking that aura, definitely a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator! But... that sword strike just now..." Brother Zhou said, shaking his head.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"That’s right! I’ve got it—it was a sudden attack! A stealth attack, if this kid hadn’t ambushed, facing Li Shengzhe head-on, there’s no way he could have prevailed. The reason he could kill Li Shengzhe instantly was entirely due to the element of surprise, and that bizarre movement technique, suddenly appearing behind Li Shengzhe and making a sneak attack before Li Shengzhe could react!"

"Li Shengzhe’s death was purely because he underestimated his opponent and was careless! After all, even a Body Integration Realm Cultivator could be killed if ambushed!"

Brother Zhou declared, having made up his mind.

Upon hearing Brother Zhou’s words, the crowd nodded quietly.

This explanation made sense, Lin Fan succeeded in the assassination, which is why Li Shengzhe was killed!

If it had been a head-on battle, there would have been no chance.

All those present took a deep look at Lin Fan!

Nangong Zheng and Xiahou Qiongyin both wore faces of astonishment, having never expected Lin Fan to win.

Although it was through an assassination that he won!

But Lin Fan truly defeating Li Shengzhe was unbelievable, utterly unbelievable!

Hearing Brother Zhou’s words, Lin Fan felt disdain in his heart but was too indifferent to explain anything.

He used Instant Escape and killed Li Shengzhe in a second simply because he didn’t want to waste time.

Even if he faced Li Shengzhe head-on, Li Shengzhe stood no chance against Lin Fan!

Back when he was in the Golden Core Late Stage, Lin Fan could already kill Void Refining Cultivators, let alone advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm, climbing an entire great step. Killing Li Shengzhe was truly effortless!

"What are you waiting for?"

Lin Fan ignored everyone, turned his head to look at Nangong Li, and opened his arms towards her, "Now, you can hug me!"

"You... Ah! I’m ignoring you, you always bully me!"

Nangong Li, feeling shy, merely stomped her foot and turned to run away.

After all, she was still a maiden, and in front of so many people, feeling shy was not enough, how could she possibly go and hug Lin Fan?

Earlier.

The reason why Nangong Li had hugged Lin Fan was because she thought that both of them would undoubtedly die, so she went for it.

Now, knowing that they would not die, the shyness of a girl emerged.

Lin Fan simply smiled, not forcing anything.

In front of so many people, hugging and embracing indeed wasn’t good, anyway, there was enough time in private.

Next.

Lin Fan’s gaze shifted, landing on the other six people from the Holy Mansion, he calmly asked: "I killed Li Shengzhe, you won’t make a move against me?"

"We won’t make a move!"

Unexpectedly.

All six of them, shook their heads at the same time, showing no intention of making a move.

Lin Fan could feel that this was the truth, not a joke, nor deceiving himself!

"Huh? What’s going on?" Lin Fan felt it was very strange.

"Do you find it very strange?" Ning Miaohan said lightly.

"Yes!" Lin Fan nodded.

"It’s not strange at all, the survival principle of the Holy Mansion is that the weak are prey to the strong, and only the fittest survive! The Holy Mansion has clear rules forbidding bullying the weak or intervening in the affairs of other planes! Of course, students of the Holy Mansion can accept challenges from others, and if a student of the Holy Mansion is killed during a challenge, it’s only due to their own lack of strength! The Holy Mansion definitely will not intervene on behalf of someone who is killed because they lacked strength!" Ning Miaohan slowly explained, her voice sounding very pleasant, like heavenly music.

"Oh? There’s such a thing." Lin Fan was somewhat surprised.

The others inside Imperial Palace were also stunned.

"Rest assured, there’s another thing, because Li Shengzhe was from the Holy Mansion, his death is related to us. We will inform the Nine Immortal Dynasty that this has nothing to do with them. If they act against the Dayan Dynasty, they will be making an enemy of us," Ning Miaohan added.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Zheng and Xiahou Qiongyin were overjoyed!

They had thought that Lin Fan killing Li Yanting and Li Shengzhe would lead to warfare between the two nations.

Now.

With these words from the Holy Mansion, a national war should be avoidable.

The next second.

That Brother Zhou then spoke.

"My name is Zhou Yuan, I am from the Starlight Pavilion of the Holy Mansion! Now, I solemnly invite you on behalf of the Holy Mansion to become a student of the Holy Mansion, are you willing?" Zhou Yuan said with a smile.

Extending an olive branch to Lin Fan.

"What?"

"Holy crap! This guy’s luck is against the sky, not only did he kill two Princes of the Nine Immortal Dynasty without consequences, but he also received an invitation from the Holy Mansion to become a student there?"

"Is there no justice left in the world!"

"Damn... I’m so jealous!"

Among the tens of thousands present, a large number of them directly cursed, utterly unable to contain themselves.

Comparing oneself to others, simply infuriating!

"I’m not even concerned about that, it’s the Dayan Dynasty! To have a son-in-law from the Holy Mansion out of nowhere? Truly hitting the jackpot!" Several elders looked enviously at Emperor Nangong Zheng of the Dayan Dynasty.

Nangong Zheng was also overjoyed.

"Lin Fan, what are you waiting for, why not quickly agree!" Xiahou Qiongyin also hurriedly urged.

"That... have you heard about me..." Lin Fan touched his nose, shrugged helplessly and said, "Actually, I’ve already received an invitation from the Holy Mansion, and it was the senior Zhuge Hong who personally invited me to join the Holy Mansion, and I have already agreed."
