Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 165: Hidden mission
"What do you think you’re doing?!"
Everyone shouted this at the same time before suddenly releasing their spiritual energy to suppress me.
It seemed like they completely lost control of themselves when they saw me crushing this Refining Stone like it was a random stone on the side of the road. It seemed like they couldn’t hold themselves back after seeing the prodigal way that I acted.
However, I wasn’t affected at all even though they all released their spiritual energy to suppress me.
That was because there was a golden glow that appeared around me like a shield.
This golden glow completely nullified the pressure that would have fallen on me, so I was able to stand there without a problem. This golden glow seemed to have completely isolated me from the outside world, making it so that I wasn’t able to sense anything.
As for where it came from...
"The defense system has been activated."
The system’s notification appeared in the corner of my eyes.
This golden glow came from the system’s defense system which had activated the moment that they tried to suppress me together.
I wasn’t surprised to see the defenses of the system suddenly activating like this. I was even expecting it to happen since I knew that I wouldn’t have been able to resist the lashback that would come from destroying that Refining Crystal on my own.
As for why I was expecting it, it was because the system was the one that wanted me to destroy the Refining Crystal in the first place.
Hidden Mission
Destroy the Refining Crystal the host refined in front of everyone.
In the first place, I wouldn’t have been strong enough to shatter the Refining Crystal like that with how hard it was. If it wasn’t for the supporting power of the system, I wouldn’t have been able to crush it with just one stomp.
Since it was the system that got me in the mess, I expected the system to get me out of this mess.
I was expecting the system to protect me from the venting that would surely come from these elders after I destroyed the thing that they wanted.
But there wasn’t a single bit of regret.
This was how a prodigal young master should act after all!
After being surprised by what happened, Elder Wang and the Great Elder finally reacted and jumped out to stand in front of me, as if they were protecting me.
I was a member of the Star Peak Sect in the end, so they had to do something for me.
But there was no need in the end as before anyone could do anything, there was a snort that suddenly rang out.
"Humph!"
The moment that this snort rang out, all of the elders who had been releasing their spiritual energy to suppress Lin Fan suddenly stopped. At the same time, all of them were forced back a few steps and they spat out a mouthful of blood.
When it was all over, the golden glow around me disappeared and there was only silence that lingered in the air.
However, the way that the elders looked at me was completely different.
There were traces of fear that were in their eyes as they stared at me.
It was as if they were looking at something that scared them to the depths of their souls.
But that wasn’t strange since they could still feel the injuries that were deep in them.
That golden glow and that snort...
It was just a layer of spiritual energy and it had been able to resist all of the pressure that they put on Lin Fan.
At the same time, it was just a single snort that came out of nowhere and it had injured all of them.
It had to be known that all of these elders were elites of their sects.
All of them were in the Soul Formation Realm.
Yet this snort had been able to injure all of them at the same time.
It was clear that whoever was the owner of this snort was a terrifying expert.
They might even be stronger than the ancestors of their sects...
But why would there be someone like that helping this unknown young man who acted like a prodigal?
No...the more that they thought about it, the more that it seemed to make sense.
The ability that this unknown prodigal had demonstrated was anything but normal. If he really was just some random unknown prodigal, would he have been able to refine that Refining Crystal like that?
No...
The more that they thought about, the more a certain possibility appeared in their minds.
He wouldn’t be able to do this unless he was a young master from...
The upper realm.
"Wasn’t there a report that something had happened at some lower tier demonic sect?"
"Right, I think the sect that was involved in that matter was...the Falling Star Sect."
"Falling Star Sect...Star Peak Sect..."
They were slowly forming the connections in their mind and they realized that they might have done something that they shouldn’t have done.
Shen Qing Feng wasn’t one of those that was injured since he never put pressure on Lin Fan, so he was still capable of speaking.
"The preliminary round ends here. We’ll start the first round tomorrow."
All of the elders cast one last strange look in Lin Fan’s direction before turning to leave with their disciples.
Not a single one of them wanted to stay here a second longer.
They were all afraid of the owner of that snort just now.
But I didn’t care either since I wasn’t planning on fighting them all in the first place.
There was nothing for me to gain since I just wanted to be a prodigal young master.
Both Elder Wang and the Great Elder let out a sigh of relief before turning to look at Lin Fan, but they found that he didn’t seem to care about this matter at all. It seemed like he was looking off at something in space that they couldn’t see.
"This reward...system, are you kidding me?"
