Accidentally invincible!-Chapter 237 - 0234: Whose Stupid Idea Was This?

At this moment.

The situation took a turn.

"This fellow Daoist, you seem unfamiliar. You’ve been watching us intently just now—do you have some brilliant insight? Feel free to share; we can learn from you." An elder asked.

He noticed this young man’s gaze seemed a bit off, as if he was sizing something up.

Me...

Lin Fan was a little dumbfounded. I’m just a teenager enjoying the show, didn’t do anything, and now they’re asking if I have any insight? If I did, would I still be hanging out here watching aimlessly?

He was merely looking for a target.

The primary targets were just those aligned with the Demon Path and the Immortal Demon Path.

Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Fan.

Faced with all these stares, it was impossible to say he wasn’t nervous. Still, he gathered his courage and spoke.

"I feel like everyone could act together and break this array with brute force. As the saying goes, ’One force obliterates ten thousand techniques.’ All of you, fellow Daoists, are invincible beings in the world—if you combine forces, this array surely can’t hold."

"In any case, I truly believe no array can withstand such power."

"What do all of you think?"

Lin Fan responded calmly, maintaining an air of astonishment and utter confidence. After all, if he didn’t believe in himself, how could he convince others?

The mighty beings exchanged glances, clearly surprised that this was his so-called brilliant insight.

"It’s worth trying, but it’s risky. We don’t fully understand this array. If brute force triggers a backlash from it, the consequences could be dire."

"I think this fellow Daoist’s point is valid. We are invincible beings—if we combine forces, how can this array possibly remain unbroken?"

"We must be cautious. This place is very unusual and surely not as simple as it appears."

"Are you scared? If you are, just back off. We don’t need you involved."

The mighty beings started quarreling over the matter.

Lin Fan pulled the eccentric old man aside, intending to find a place to hide. He was just casually making a suggestion—who knew they’d take it so seriously? From their reactions now, they seemed to think his idea was exceptionally wise.

If something went wrong later.

They’d surely come after him to cause trouble.

At this moment.

The argument among the mighty beings gradually came to an end. Ultimately, the minority yielded to the majority, and they decided to break the array with brute force, using the strongest Immortal Techniques and Divine Skills to dismantle this mountain’s array.

The mighty beings from the Demon Path and Immortal Demon Path cast puzzled glances into the distance, wondering what on earth those Immortal Path fools were up to.

"Everyone, hold nothing back. With our power, breaking this array is surely no issue. Once the treasure is unearthed, it’ll be time for us to compete. Whoever secures it will count it as their chance of destiny!"

In an instant.

An overwhelming surge of mana erupted as the mighty beings began amassing their energies, preparing to use supreme Immortal Techniques and Divine Skills. Since they couldn’t dismantle the array with finesse, they opted to break it with brute force.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan had already retreated far away, when suddenly someone lightly tapped his ankle, startling him to the point of nearly jumping.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, it’s me—don’t panic."

Hearing the voice, he relaxed slightly, looking down to find Li Daode hiding in the shadows.

Lin Fan pulled the eccentric old man quickly aside. "Fellow Daoist Li, why are you here?"

"Ah, isn’t it obvious? Wherever there are treasures, there I’ll be. But, Daoist, you’re quite something—incredible, even. The Red Dust Demon Sect has issued a killing order against you. Did you inherit my ways and steal their ancient secrets?" Li Daode asked, needing confirmation, for he couldn’t contain his jealousy.

"No, do I look like someone who’d steal from others? I merely sold the seventh son of the Demon Ancestor from the Red Dust Demon Sect to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, that’s all," Lin Fan replied.

He still couldn’t quite understand what the big deal was. Yet they chased him down—let’s see how far their pursuit goes.

Li Daode exclaimed, "Amazing, truly amazing, my Daoist friend. Selling off the Demon Ancestor’s son—you’re bold, I’ve got to admit. If it were me, I wouldn’t dare do such a thing. By the way, how much did you sell him for?"

He couldn’t believe his newly acquainted friend was pulling off such a scheme.

Clearly, Lin Fan hadn’t learned his true legacy and fell back on dealing with people instead. But it made sense—obtaining his legacy required long years of experience and practice.

"Not much, just sixty million Spirit Stones." Lin Fan kept vigilant over the far-off scene, sensing the mighty beings were about to act. What would happen next? He had no idea.

"Oh, well, that’s not much at all," Li Daode chuckled, but his tone shifted abruptly, disbelief sweeping over his face as he blurted out, "How much did you say?"

Realizing his voice was too loud, he quickly covered his mouth, opening a few fingers to cautiously ask, "Did you just say sixty million Spirit Stones?"

For Li Daode, sixty million Spirit Stones was an amount unimaginable.

Of course, if he sold off several Dao Artifacts in his possession, he could exchange them for this amount of Spirit Stones. But of course, he wasn’t stupid enough to do that.

"That’s right."

Lin Fan nodded, not bothering to hide it. There was no need to conceal anything—it was just sixty million Spirit Stones. What’s the bit deal?

Li Daode stared at Lin Fan in shock, his thoughts swirling with mixed emotions.

So the Demon Ancestor’s son was worth that much?

He could actually fetch sixty million.

If Li Daode wanted to earn that many Spirit Stones, he’d need years, all while relying on luck. Some great figures’ Cave Mansions contained nothing; adventuring all day might bring no reward at all—it was a common occurrence.

"Brother, is there any special requirement for selling people?" Li Daode asked in a hushed voice. At this point, he even ditched the formality of "Daoist" and went straight to calling him "brother."

Lin Fan said, "The requirements are simple—looks, charisma, status, and social standing. The better all these are, the higher the price. You’re not really considering going into this business, are you?"

"Of course not, I, Li Daode, would never sell people—just curious, that’s all." Li Daode laughed, but inside, he couldn’t help thinking about the Demon Ancestor’s other sons. If the seventh son’s sold, there’s still the sixth son, right? This business seems viable. Looks like it’s time to shift focus. To think he hadn’t noticed such a lucrative profession before—what an idiot!

Lin Fan said, "Let’s not dwell on this. If you’re here, it means there’s definitely a treasure nearby. But why are you hiding here? It’s not in your nature to stay out of it, is it?"

"Brother, you’re overestimating me. I was the first to arrive at this place. At first, I wanted to enter, but the situation seemed off. Something was eerie about this location. Originally, there wasn’t even a mountain here—I saw it emerge slowly from underground with my own eyes."

"And I witnessed countless beasts charging toward that mountain. Their movements were so loud they triggered the array, reducing them to ashes instantly."

"You know I’m skilled at breaking arrays, but I couldn’t crack this one—it’s likely an ancient array; I could sense that much."

Li Daode hid nothing, explaining everything he knew.

With his personality, if he could enter, he’d have done so long ago, scavenging the place thoroughly. There’s no way he’d still be standing around waiting.

Lin Fan pondered. Although he hadn’t known Li Daode for long, he understood this guy had some code of honor, at least.

"Father, I’m scared."

The eccentric old man cowered, holding his head and trembling at the hint of danger.

Li Daode gaped. It hadn’t been long, but somehow his new brother now had such a grown-up son. That’s some earned swagger!

Lin Fan lightly patted the eccentric old man’s head. "Relax, don’t be afraid. Your father’s got you covered."

Just then.

Disturbances arose in the distance.

The mighty beings were in action—the eruption of Immortal Techniques and Divine Skills sent dazzling light across the Void, aiming at the mountain’s array atop its peak.

"What are they doing?" Li Daode froze in shock, then his expression shifted. "Not good—they’re courting death!"

He couldn’t crack these arrays himself.

But he understood these formations weren’t simple—it was highly likely they were ancient arrays.

In one unknown Cave Mansion, he’d acquired a hand seal specifically for breaking arrays, which had given him insight into many formations.

Even arrays laid down by True Immortal Realm cultivators could be dismantled by him.

But if an array blocked him outright.

It could only mean that array was extraordinary.

Boom!

It was too late.

The Immortal Techniques and Divine Skills collided with the mountain’s peak.

On the Demon Path and Immortal Demon Path sides, the mighty beings were just as perplexed as ever. What were these idiots from the Immortal Path doing?

The mighty Immortal Path beings awaited results.

Pooling their might to break an array—could it really fail?

But soon... ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

The ground began to quake.

The whole world seemed to tremble—their combined effort hadn’t even dented the array.

Then.

The mountain peak array burst with radiance, followed by countless beams of light exploding outward. The lights resembled swords, piercing through heaven and earth, covering all directions in indiscriminate attacks.

"Not good—the array is counterattacking!"

"Damn it! Who proposed breaking the array with sheer force? Show yourself before me and die!"

"Where’s that brat? The one who was standing with us just now? Where the hell did he disappear to?!"

Some mighty beings began to realize, searching for Lin Fan to question him. Damn brat, what kind of advice did you give us? After searching for a while, however, they couldn’t find a trace of him.

But now wasn’t the time to dwell on such matters.

The mighty beings of the Immortal, Demon, and Immortal Demon paths were all focused on defending against the array’s counterattack.

"Ah!"

One mighty being was obliterated by the array’s counterattack—bones turned to dust, vanishing completely on the spot, with no chance for even a soul-severing escape.

A scene of terror!

A scene of utter horror!

They witnessed the tragedy.

Although the one who perished was just a Void Realm cultivator, the array’s ability to counterattack and obliterate a Void Realm being was frightening beyond belief.

On the Demon Path and Immortal Demon Path sides, chaos and alarm were breaking out.

Mixed with fury.

They cursed at the Immortal Path fools for leaping in without understanding the situation, proposing sheer force to break the array—that’s downright idiocy! If breaking it were so easy.

Would they still be stuck here?

Lin Fan shrank back, signaling innocence. It wasn’t my intention at all—I was just saying this casually. The outcome? Totally unrelated to me.

"Hahaha! These morons—whichever idiot they listened to, they actually thought they could break the array." Li Daode almost burst into laughter.

Lin Fan sighed. "So sorry to disappoint—it’s me you’re calling the idiot. They followed my advice."

Li Daode blinked. "Brother, no hard feelings. Don’t take offense. Your move was truly impressive—you’ve just screwed the three paths over completely."

"Given the circumstances now."

"I think it’s best we give up on this. This place is out of our league. Maybe there’s terrifying danger lurking beneath those ancient arrays."
