Lin Zizai said, "Nephew, since you have spoken thus, I shall speak frankly as well. Our visit this time is by the order of the Covering Moon Emperor, to escort you to Sovereign Mountain."
Lin Fan's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he asked, "Escort me to Sovereign Mountain?"
Lin Zizai nodded, "Yes."
Lin Fan said, "I am very curious as to why?"
Lin Zizai explained, "Because the Covering Moon Emperor knows that within Sovereign Mountain, there is a supreme legacy. Whoever obtains this legacy will, at the very least, have no difficulty in dominating the Ten Thousand Mountains."
This news was quite unexpected for Lin Fan.
He felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
However, Lin Fan maintained a calm exterior and asked, "Uncle Lin, how does the Covering Moon Emperor know that there is a supreme legacy within Sovereign Mountain?"
Lin Zizai replied, "Nephew, do not forget that once upon a time, the Covering Moon Emperor was the real sovereign of the Holy Soul Domain. There are many things within the Holy Soul Domain unknown to others that he is aware of!"
After a brief hesitation, Lin Fan nodded and said, "Alright, I will tentatively believe this news is true. Uncle Lin, I also want to know, who is escorting the Gaitian Alliance Leader to Sovereign Mountain?"
Lin Fan well understood that both he and the Gaitian Alliance Leader were merely pawns in the hands of the Covering Moon Emperor.
Therefore, he asked this question.
Lin Zizai shook his head and stated, "No one is escorting the Gaitian Alliance Leader there."
Lin Fan was surprised and asked, "That, I'm somewhat puzzled about. Isn't the Gaitian Alliance Leader also one of Covering Moon Emperor's chosen candidates? But why would he..."
Lin Zizai explained, "Because the Gaitian Alliance Leader has betrayed the Covering Moon Emperor. He, in fact, belongs to Hu Mei'er, one of the Young Emperor's candidates."
Lin Fan asked, "Uncle Lin, are you saying...the Gaitian Alliance Leader is a person of Hu Mei'er? Is this information reliable?"
Lin Zizai affirmed, "The information is absolutely reliable. Additionally, I have another piece of news for you, and that is... the Gaitian Alliance Leader, an expert who was once at the top of the Dragon List, was defeated by you. Now, he is desperately trying to defeat you again and reclaim what he believes is his due."
Lin Fan was stunned and looked incredulously at Lin Zizai, asking, "Uncle Lin, are you...not joking? The Gaitian Alliance Leader, is he the man in black who fought me at the summit of Central Mountain?"
This time, Lin Zizai simply nodded without saying a word.
Lin Fan was a bit perplexed, but he quickly laughed and said, "So, the Gaitian Alliance Leader is just so after all."
Hu Feifan then said, "Oh right, nephew, the Covering Moon Emperor has a message for me to convey to you."
Lin Fan replied, "Please speak, Uncle Lin."
Lin Zizai conveyed, "The Covering Moon Emperor has said that now, with many candidates for the Young Emperor on Hu Mei'er's side, and with the betrayal of the Gaitian Alliance Leader, only you are left on his side. He can only place all his bets on you now, hence... he hopes that you will not disappoint him."
Lin Fan laughed, "As long as he does not disappoint me, I won't disappoint him."
Lin Zizai looked puzzled at Lin Fan, not understanding the meaning of his words.
Lin Fan added, "Uncle Lin, you may not understand the meaning of this statement, but the Covering Moon Emperor, he certainly understands."
"Alright then, I won't ask any more!" said Lin Zizai. "Nephew, let's set off for Sovereign Mountain tomorrow? You can rest assured, with us several Ascetics as your escorts, you will absolutely not be in any danger."
At this time, Lin Fan actually felt somewhat happy.
Now, with several Ascetic bodyguards for free, the danger of going to Sovereign Mountain was greatly reduced.
The next morning, Lin Fan and others set off towards Sovereign Mountain.
On the way, they naturally encountered many others who were also heading to Sovereign Mountain.
All those journeying towards Sovereign Mountain did so in peace, not interfering with one another, thus, there were no mishaps along the way. Two days later, they arrived at Sovereign Mountain.
Upon arrival at Sovereign Mountain, Lin Fan's eyebrows lightly furrowed.
Because Lin Fan saw a familiar person.
A member of the Gaitian Alliance!
This person, Lin Fan had seen before.
"It seems that the Gaitian Alliance Leader has reached here before me!" Lin Fan thought to himself: "But that's fine, since the Gaitian Alliance Leader is here, let us resolve our grievances on Sovereign Mountain."
At that moment, War Intent began to surge within Lin Fan's heart.
Although it was Lin Fan who had won the last battle against the Gaitian Alliance Leader.
Lin Fan would definitely not let his guard down.
Because he knew that the Gaitian Alliance Leader was not so easy to deal with.
At this moment, a figure appeared not far away.
The Gaitian Alliance Leader.
Lin Fan and the Gaitian Alliance Leader, neither of them spoke, just gazed at each other, their eyes clashing like swords.
The others were also just watching Lin Fan and the Gaitian Alliance Leader, not uttering a word.
After a long silence, the Gaitian Alliance Leader softly said, "I suppose you already know my real identity, don't you?"
Lin Fan nodded without speaking.
The Gaitian Alliance Leader suddenly laughed and said, "Since you already know my real identity, I have nothing more to say. We'll settle our differences inside Sovereign Mountain. Do you have any objections?"
Lin Fan shook his head for the second time, saying, "No objections!"
"Inside Sovereign Mountain, let's not miss each other. At that time, it'll either be your death or mine."
After speaking, the Gaitian Alliance Leader left directly.
In that instant, the Gaitian Alliance Leader's heart was also filled with endless rage.
He just wanted to kill Lin Fan right then and there. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
The Gaitian Alliance Leader sneered in his heart, coldly thinking, "Lin Fan, just you wait. Once you enter Sovereign Mountain, you are undeniably going to die!"
Meanwhile, Lin Fan was watching the Gaitian Alliance Leader's retreating figure until it completely vanished!
Lin Zizai spoke, "Nephew, against such a person, there's really not much to say. I had intended to strike him down just now, but why did you stop me?"
Lin Fan laughed again, looked at Lin Zizai, and spoke, "Uncle Lin, this guy is a worthy opponent!"
Lin Zizai was surprised and looked at Lin Fan, asking, "Nephew, what do you mean by that?"
Lin Fan did not directly answer Lin Zizai's question, instead he said indifferently, "Having a worthy opponent can greatly stimulate my growth. Now that I've finally encountered an opponent like the Gaitian Alliance Leader, how can I bear to kill him now? Moreover, if you were to kill him, the power of Monarch Power within him would be wasted. However, once I kill him, all the Monarch Power within him will transfer to me. By then, wouldn't the benefits be numerous?"
"Therefore, I must personally kill the Gaitian Alliance Leader and take his life here in Sovereign Mountain to seize his Monarch Power!"
As Lin Fan spoke, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
