Accidentally invincible!-Chapter 252 - 0249: Your Uncle’s

Bai Qiu didn’t want to see lives destroyed, sparking a war between the Demon and Immortal paths and leading to an uncontrollable catastrophe, so he chose to observe in the shadows.

The appearance of the Mixed Element Golden Gourd sent shockwaves through the heavens and earth, its awe-inspiring might causing phenomena to manifest.

He immediately rushed over.

At first glance, he saw Lin Fan clashing with the Demon Ancestor.

Though he had his own grievances with this young brat, no matter what, he was still a disciple of the Taiwu Immortal Sect and, moreover, the adopted son of his senior sister. If his senior sister learned that he stood by and did nothing, it would undoubtedly become a major issue.

"Sect Leader, if you’re not here for the divine medicine, then why are you even here?" Lin Fan asked suspiciously.

It was clear at a glance that the Sect Leader was up to something.

He knew full well a battle was happening here.

And still came over.

There was no way Lin Fan believed the Sect Leader was here to spectate. Surely, there had to be some ulterior motive to reap benefits.

"You brat, you provoked the Demon Ancestor. If this Sect Leader didn’t come to save you, you think you could leave here alive?" Bai Qiu scolded. This scoundrel had no sense of propriety—how could it not cross his mind why the Sect Leader would be here?

If not for the fact that he was a disciple of the Taiwu Immortal Sect, Bai Qiu truly couldn’t be bothered to step in.

Lin Fan suddenly had a realization, then turned his gaze to the Demon Ancestor and said, "Demon Ancestor, the Sect Leader of my Taiwu Immortal Sect is here. If you want to kill me, let’s see if you’ve got what it takes. I was just doing a good deed, but instead of thanking me, you want to kill me—don’t you think that’s going a bit too far?"

Sect Leader Bai Qiu, upon hearing these words, raised his hand intending to give Lin Fan a flick on the forehead. But Lin Fan dodged. What nonsense was this? Was he trying to court more trouble?

"Fine... fine! Then I’ll see just how arrogant the Taiwu Immortal Sect can be!" The Demon Ancestor roared with rage. This brat’s words were infuriating—he could hardly endure the relentless provocation. Who could?

Bai Qiu glared angrily at Lin Fan, signaling him to keep his mouth shut, to stop fanning the flames, before clasping his hands in a formal gesture and saying,

"Demon Ancestor, this is a disciple of my Taiwu Immortal Sect. He has not been properly taught and has clashed with you due to his lack of discipline. I humbly ask the Demon Ancestor to grant me this small favor and let this matter go." Bai Qiu did not wish to escalate the conflict with the Demon Ancestor. Surrounded by mighty figures of the Demon and monster paths, starting a fight now would only allow others to reap the benefits.

"Bai Qiu, do you even know what this is all about? Or are you completely clueless about the situation and just asking me to give you face? If your own son were sold off, would you still offer the perpetrator face?"

The Demon Ancestor retorted furiously. Even if Bai Qiu was speaking of courtesy, it was useless. The Demon Path was the Demon Path, and the Immortal Sect was the Immortal Sect; there was no courtesy to be extended between these two worlds. Avoiding direct conflict was already a rare courtesy to begin with, and here Bai Qiu was asking for face. Frankly speaking, how much was his face even worth?

Speaking honestly.

There weren’t many who understood the full story, but unfortunately, Bai Qiu truly didn’t know all the details. He turned to Lin Fan, his gaze as if asking: What kind of mess have you gotten yourself into this time?

Lin Fan said calmly, "Sect Leader, don’t look at me like that. It’s no big deal. The seventh son of the Demon Ancestor, Xiang Junchen, and a certain woman fell deeply in love. Your disciple saw their genuine affection for one another but their inability to be together, so he lent a hand to help them unite, that’s all."

"And that woman is none other than Long Shangpo’s granddaughter."

He was utterly unfazed by the Demon Ancestor’s furious rage.

When you’re older, tempers tend to worsen.

This was all perfectly normal behavior.

Bai Qiu stared at Lin Fan, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. His head was buzzing. He’d met Long Shangpo’s granddaughter once before—someone no ordinary person could possibly handle.

Genuine affection?

Yeah, right.

It wasn’t even necessary to think about it. He could already guess the actual scenario.

"Lin Fan, you’re at death’s door, yet you dare spout nonsense? You chained my son and sold him to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, all for Spirit Stones. Bai Qiu, is this the kind of behavior your so-called righteous Immortal Sect indulges in?"

The Demon Ancestor glared at Lin Fan, then turned to Bai Qiu with a mocking expression.

"Don’t talk garbage! What I did was uphold justice, fulfilling others’ happiness. How did it turn into spouting nonsense in your words? Fine, whatever you say goes, old man. I’m just a young fellow; I can’t argue with you. Do whatever you want!" Lin Fan spoke without fear. With the Sect Leader here, what was there to be afraid of? At most, he’d bolt, leaving the Sect Leader to deal with it.

"You brat! Shut your mouth! Are you trying to start a war?" Bai Qiu scolded, frustrated to the point of dizziness. This scoundrel was an endless troublemaker, always driving people to madness.

Lin Fan said, "Sect Leader, don’t worry. Even if you’re beaten to a crippled state, I promise to take care of you to your dying day."

"Brat..." Bai Qiu was so enraged by Lin Fan’s remark he nearly coughed up blood.

But he chose to ignore Lin Fan for now and instead said, "Demon Ancestor, since this matter has occurred, what are your demands? This situation should be resolved peacefully, not further entangled. I believe as long as your demands are reasonable, the Taiwu Immortal Sect wouldn’t refuse."

Bai Qiu was a reasonable man.

What he was doing now was merely to de-escalate the situation.

Being targeted by a Demon Path expert wasn’t something to be taken lightly. Moving about in the world afterward would require constant vigilance.

But he had no choice.

Lin Fan was his sect’s disciple. As Sect Leader, he couldn’t turn a blind eye.

"Fine. Since Sect Leader Bai has spoken, this seat’s demands are simple. Retrieve my son from Long Shangpo’s hands, and while you’re at it, hand over 80 million Spirit Stones. Then we’re even." The Demon Ancestor stated.

Bai Qiu couldn’t help but retort, "Why don’t you go rob someone instead?"

The Mountain Master of Prison Demon Mountain stepped forward and said, "Sect Leader Bai, your disciple has slain my Prison Demon Mountain elder. Don’t you plan to at least provide an explanation?"

Bai Qiu stared directly at Lin Fan. What kind of colossal trouble had this brat stirred up now?

This was outright courting death.

Lin Fan shrugged innocently, glancing around as if this had nothing to do with him.

All of a sudden, he widened his eyes, pointed into the distance, and exclaimed,

"The divine medicine has been dislodged!"

Everyone, upon hearing this, instinctively turned to look.

Indeed, the Nine-colored Grass had been knocked loose. The Old Corpse Demon in the Sky had overestimated himself, and under the siege of numerous powerhouses, had started losing ground.

The divine medicine hovered in midair.

A radiant light burst from the divine medicine, a terrifying energy that made even the mighty figures hesitant to act.

"Lin Fan, we’ll settle this later." The Demon Ancestor coldly glared at Lin Fan, then transformed into a beam of black light, racing toward the divine medicine.

The surrounding mighty figures followed suit.

Though their initial target had been Lin Fan and his treasures, the divine medicine was now the priority.

"We can grab it."

Lin Fan pondered. With the divine medicine detached from the Old Corpse Demon in the Sky and floating independently, its auto-defense measures wouldn’t be enough against powerhouses.

They had come this far. Not attempting to seize it would leave him with regrets.

Seizing it might result in being hunted. Worst case, he would disappear for a while.

Lin Fan activated the Mixed Element Golden Gourd. The gourd’s mouth opened wide, and the Golden River manifested a golden dragon that roared mightily and lunged for the divine medicine. If it could swallow it in one gulp, he’d flee immediately.

"Stop right now! Don’t get involved in this!" Bai Qiu shouted as he saw Lin Fan preparing to fight for the divine medicine, attempting to stop him.

Lin Fan responded, "Sect Leader, don’t be such a coward. Everyone’s fighting over this divine medicine. It all comes down to luck. Why not try our hand?"

He then ignored the Sect Leader’s objections.

Instead, he threw all his energy into controlling the Mixed Element Golden Gourd. Though his chances were slim, he wouldn’t back down.

In the distance.

The Old Corpse Demon in the Sky was furious, his rage erupting, roaring endlessly. To attempt to seize his divine medicine was an unforgivable sin.

The divine medicine hovered midair, while several beams of light surged toward it.

But these lights clashed with one another; the powerhouses were locked in combat, suppressing each other. None of them wanted someone else to claim the divine medicine. Soon, that section of the Heavenly Vault turned chaotic, with streams of reverse energy flowing and harboring destructive power.

The divine medicine shone brightly, standing tall amidst the chaos, ignoring everything around it.

"Those who try to take my divine medicine deserve to die!" the Old Corpse Demon in the Sky roared, his voice like thunder shaking the Heavenly Vault. The shockwaves alone would obliterate any ordinary cultivator, but these were all True Immortals—such soundwaves wouldn’t harm them.

"While the divine medicine may be yours, its appearance signifies your lack of destiny. Old Corpse Demon, step back now and spare yourself humiliation."

"Hahaha, the divine medicine is mine!"

At that moment.

The Golden River Dragon broke through layers of obstacles, opening its jaws to devour the divine medicine in one gulp. But how could the True Immortal powerhouses allow that? They struck out without hesitation. Immortal Techniques clashed with the Golden River Dragon, forcibly suppressing and driving it back.

Lin Fan knew that with his cultivation and understanding of the Mixed Element Golden Gourd, it was impossible to suppress the entire assembly of powerhouses. Still, so what?

Taking a risk was inevitable.

On the sidelines, Sect Leader Bai Qiu was dumbfounded as he watched Lin Fan use the treasure. Just what was this artifact? Why did it seem even more potent than a Dao Artifact?

Could it be... an Immortal Treasure?

Impossible.

How could this brat possess an Immortal Treasure? Just what kind of fortuitous encounter had he stumbled upon outside?

Lin Fan observed the situation unfolding in the distance and suddenly saw an opening. The Golden River Dragon spiraled toward the divine medicine. Just as it was about to claim the prize, a divine radiance descended from the heavens, striking the divine medicine.

Immediately thereafter.

A flash of Sword Intent, sharp as thunder, slashed at the divine medicine.

Crash!

The divine medicine shattered.

Its nine leaves scattered, and golden sap rained down upon the world, bathing the heavens and earth in a golden hue.

"My divine medicine!" The Old Corpse Demon in the Sky was utterly heartbroken. It was his divine medicine! How could it have been reduced to this? Like a maddened lion, he charged into the fray to claim the shattered remnants.

Lin Fan hadn’t expected the divine medicine to be broken to pieces. Shocked and a touch regretful, he still managed to command the Golden River Dragon to swallow a single fiery red leaf.

But the moment he secured a leaf...

He felt countless gazes lock onto him.

This wasn’t a place to stay any longer.

Time to run!

Lin Fan stowed away the Mixed Element Golden Gourd and activated his Innate Divine Ability, *Soaring*. With a sharp *whoosh*, he vanished into the horizon, covering a hundred miles in an instant—such was the domineering nature of this divine ability.

"Sect Leader, I’m off first. Take care of yourself!"

Only Lin Fan’s voice lingered as his figure disappeared from view.

Sect Leader Bai Qiu stood there, stunned, both amazed and bewildered. He hadn’t expected Lin Fan to run off—right in front of his own Sect Leader.

"You little bastard..."
