Accidentally invincible!-Chapter 256 - 0253: Isn’t He Wonderful?

The Kunxu Palace dispatched disciples to set up camp here.

A large number of disciples arrived, and even a Vice Sect Leader was stationed to guard the location.

If the Monster King dares to emerge, he will undoubtedly be turned into minced flesh.

Hao Tianhua felt that something must have happened, so he went to inquire with his junior sister. Someone so young and mentally immature must not be deceived.

Cheng Lingsu would never reveal what had happened, nor would she admit to the matter. This incident thus became a secret between the two of them—one that no one else could ever know.

The Vice Sect Leader guarding this place was an energetic elder who appeared to be white-haired and aged, yet his towering figure exuded an oppressive aura.

This Vice Sect Leader must have been a strong and imposing man in his youth.

"Young friend, you look somewhat familiar to me." The Vice Sect Leader stared at Lin Fan, feeling like he had seen him somewhere before.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Senior, have you visited the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion recently?"

"No, I’ve been stationed here all along," replied the Vice Sect Leader.

"Then we don’t know each other. Perhaps you’re mistaken, Senior." Lin Fan felt that he was about to become famous. Even this Vice Sect Leader thought he looked familiar, which likely meant they had crossed paths somehow.

But Lin Fan wasn’t the type to flaunt his reputation.

He usually preferred to respond humbly to such situations, saying, "You must have mistaken me for someone else."

The Vice Sect Leader didn’t delve further into the matter. Perhaps he truly had been mistaken.

Night fell.

A group of disciples patrolled the surrounding area, vigilant against the environment. There was no guarantee that demons wouldn’t strike under cover of night.

Fires were ignited one after another, illuminating the vicinity.

Lin Fan approached Cheng Lingsu, sat beside her, and gazed at her profile. "What an unmatched beauty. After being away for several months, I often found myself thinking of you. Being able to see your flower-like face again is truly a blessing."

Then, he glanced around.

"Do you think it’s a twist of fate that we met in a graveyard? Legend has it that there’s an immortal in the Immortal Realm named Yue Lao. He enjoys tying red threads for people but is mischievous, often binding multiple threads together and even creating tied knots that cannot be undone."

"Perhaps there is indeed a thread of fate between us, don’t you think?"

The night scenery was not particularly picturesque. Aside from gazing at the stars above, glittering like diamonds, there was little else to do.

Lin Fan conjured a glowing red thread from his fingertips, encircling Cheng Lingsu’s ankle before trailing it back to loop around his own.

"Look, just like this. Do you feel the warmth? This represents two hearts linked together—a connection that binds us through destiny."

"Have you heard of a Divine Stone before? It’s called the Three-Life Stone and symbolizes the past life, present life, and future life. Those fated to be together often experience a sensation of familiarity, and lovers are destined to share their lives across three incarnations."

Lin Fan raised his hand, unleashing his divine skills. The Three-Life Stone materialized, suspended before Cheng Lingsu.

Then, visions began to emerge from the surface of the stone.

Cheng Lingsu’s eyes glimmered with curiosity, uncertain of its significance.

An ancient temple, a green oil lamp. Amid the stillness, the breeze swayed the lamp’s flame, spreading its glow across the temple.

"You are the ancient temple, and I am the green lamp. In this loneliness, I am here to warm your heart. This represents our past life together."

Lin Fan displayed his terrifying combat-oriented divine skills, though he invoked them merely to charm. If a high-level cultivator responsible for such powers were to witness this use, they would likely swat him aside without hesitation.

Cheng Lingsu’s bright eyes betrayed a hint of emotion. Her cheeks flushed slightly, though she feigned composure and replied calmly.

"You may be good at everything else, but you sure have a slick tongue."

Lin Fan smiled. "You misunderstand me. I’m not typically like this. My demeanor is usually stern, and I rarely joke around with people. But, when I encounter the right person, it’s hard to explain the feeling."

Without giving her a chance to reply, Lin Fan continued.

"Our current lives are like this moment: sitting together before a fire, gazing at the stars. It’s tranquil yet carries a distinct sentiment."

"And for our future life, look..."

He pointed at the Three-Life Stone.

The visions transformed.

"In our next life, you’re Qing Yue, and I’m Qing Shi. No matter how fierce the winds and rain, how drastic the quakes and tremors, I will remain steadfast, protecting this land and waiting for nightfall to watch over you."

Lin Fan’s words certainly had a way of leaving an impression.

Cheng Lingsu felt a ripple within her heart, as if Lin Fan’s words had stirred something deep inside. In this moment and setting, she felt her emotions shift. The stories of three lifetimes were enough to unsettle her heart.

Suddenly.

A startling disturbance erupted from the distance. A beam of white light shot skyward, piercing through the clouds.

"Damn! Something’s happening—time to work."

Lin Fan quickly stood, his gaze fixed on the distant phenomenon. From the white beam of light, he felt the allure of an opportunity to grow stronger.

As for charming others?

Demons are more imperative! No matter how captivating the night may be, it cannot obstruct his determination to strengthen himself.

Cheng Lingsu looked up at Lin Fan, intending to say something, but his demeanor left her with a sense that something was amiss. The carefully cultivated atmosphere they had built moments ago vanished entirely.

However, the distant occurrence made Cheng Lingsu acutely vigilant.

She had spent several months in this area.

It was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Originally, Kunyu Mountain had relatively few demons. Yet, with time, their numbers had grown along with the concentration of demonic energy. Nowadays, disciples even needed to rely on the sect’s talismans to fend off the effects of demonic energy, lest they fall victim to contamination and subsequent risks.

"All disciples, listen closely! Remain where you are stationed and stay calm. True Disciples, accompany me to investigate."

The Vice Sect Leader furrowed his brow.

He sensed an unusual presence within the white beam of light.

Swish!

Swish!

The Vice Sect Leader led the group, soaring through the air toward the distant phenomenon.

Lin Fan followed closely behind. He hadn’t come to Kunyu Mountain solely to charm others—he was here to grow stronger. Now that the chance had presented itself, he couldn’t miss it.

Before long.

"Stay alert. The number of demons has significantly increased. Don’t linger." The Vice Sect Leader noticed the hordes of demons below far exceeded their previous encounters.

He exercised heightened caution.

By all accounts, Kunyu Mountain had housed only one Demon King—the Monster King dwelling in the graveyard. If the Monster King dared emerge, the Vice Sect Leader could slay it on the spot.

But now.

He felt something was terribly amiss with the surrounding energy.

There could very well be an entity lurking even more fearsome than the Monster King.

He could only hope that this was a false perception.

Otherwise, they would have no choice but to seal Kunyu Mountain.

Lin Fan looked at the demons below, refusing to tolerate their presence. Though these monstrous beasts cloaked in overwhelming demonic energy were fearsome in others’ eyes, to Lin Fan, they represented opportunities for growth.

Swish!

The Flying Smoke Spirit Sword cut through the air like a surging wave, descending to slaughter the demons below.

These demons were weak and insignificant.

Although killing them might not yield remarkable items, it would feel wrong to let them live after passing by.

[Mana gained: Thirty years.]

[Spirit Root Fragment acquired: Wood Spirit Root Fragment.]

...

The loot from these weak demons was rather disappointing.

Nonetheless, it was still progress.

Soon enough.

The Vice Sect Leader hovered in mid-air, refraining from advancing further. The white light erupted from the depths of the earth; the surrounding soil had been blasted apart, leaving behind a massive crater. Yet the beam of light continued unabated.

Looking upward.

The white beam struck the moon, making the shining full moon appear to descend closer and grow larger. Ripples emanated across its surface, spreading outward.

Wave after wave.

"Senior, can you discern what this might be?" Lin Fan asked.

The Vice Sect Leader replied, "Not yet. But stay cautious. I’m certain this is no ordinary phenomenon; something extraordinary must be about to occur. These demons seem overly excited—they’re likely affected by it."

"Cheng Lingsu."

Cheng Lingsu answered, "Disciple here."

The Vice Sect Leader ordered, "Return to lead the disciples away from Kunyu Mountain. Until we understand what’s happening, no one is to set foot on Kunyu Mountain."

"Understood."

Cheng Lingsu nodded and promptly left. However, before departing, she glanced at Lin Fan. Though she said nothing, her expression conveyed a clear sentiment.

Be careful.

Lin Fan noticed Cheng Lingsu’s demeanor and chuckled inwardly. Was this concern?

Ah!

The realm of romantic expertise truly knows no bounds.

But he didn’t want her to lose herself further in sentimentality—he hoped she would face things rationally.

Now.

The white beam gradually dissipated, leaving the moon in the sky even brighter than before. It seemed the light had enriched the moon’s radiance.

"Demons, what kind of trickery are you playing? Why leave the Northern Desolation to come here? What’s your goal?" the Vice Sect Leader demanded angrily.

Yet aside from the howls of the demons below.

There was no response from any powerful entity.

Lin Fan observed the scene below. Without a white beam illuminating the depths, the abyss seemed eerily silent, shrouded in pitch-black mist that obscured any view of its interior.

At this moment.

The entire Kunyu Mountain began to tremble, and a cracking sound echoed as fissures spread across the ground, resembling subterranean dragons thrashing beneath the surface.

Suddenly.

An ancient aura erupted from the abyss.

On closer inspection.

A rancid stench could be detected.

"This smell is quite overpowering." Lin Fan pinched his nose. "Senior, let’s take a step back; this odor is a bit too strong."

The Vice Sect Leader’s expression was grave.

At a time like this, how could he still have the leisure to joke?

Lin Fan patiently awaited changes in the abyss while commanding the Flying Smoke Spirit Sword to continuously massacre demons. Though these demons were weak, Lin Fan valued their contributions to his progress.

Just then.

He noticed his Flying Smoke Spirit Sword was being restrained, held firmly within someone’s grasp.

Creaking noises echoed.

The blade was on the verge of snapping.

Lin Fan thought to himself, Who would dare to seize my Flying Smoke Spirit Sword? He looked carefully and realized it was a familiar face.

The Monster King.

Emerging from the graveyard, the Monster King held the Flying Smoke Spirit Sword in his hand. His palm was like an infinite domain, locking the sword in place.

"Heh."

Lin Fan smiled, employing his divine skills to free the Flying Smoke Spirit Sword with a piercing sound. The sword spun away from captivity and returned to his side.

"Monster King, long time no see. Why aren’t you hiding in the graveyard like the cowardly turtle you once were? Where did you find the guts to come out and cause trouble? Aren’t you afraid of getting slapped to death?"

The Monster King stared at Lin Fan with a chilling gaze.

"Boy, you ran fast last time, but this time, I’d like to see where you think you can run. I’ve been waiting to hear the conclusion to the matter you mentioned before."

"What happened to the Great Sage Equalling Heaven?"
