Chapter 472 Cao Dan
"Xinlan, it's up to you whether these guys live or die!"
Lin Fan put his arm around Xin Lan's slender waist and asked.
Xinlan bit her lip lightly, hesitated slightly, then took a deep breath: Let's take care of them all!
She knew this was not the time for a saint; if Lin Fan hadn't appeared in time, the Ye family's fate would have been incredibly tragic!
"Spare us, sir! We were just following orders!"
Zhao Hei Qinmo and many members of the Blackfire Sect knelt down. After witnessing Lin Fan's overwhelming strength, they had no courage to fight anymore!
"Acting under orders? Don't worry, none of the Blackfire Sect members will escape. They'll be joining you soon. Rest in peace!"
"Snapped!"
After the indifferent voice fell, Lin Fan snapped his fingers, and a colorless flame appeared on the bodies of all the Blackfire Sect members. The entire hall was filled with screams!
After a dozen seconds, the screams gradually stopped, and all the people from the Blackfire Sect had disappeared, leaving only human-shaped black ashes on the ground!
"This is just too powerful!"
The Ye family members all stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that it was real!
"Thank you, young master!"
After regaining his senses, Ye Chong hurriedly stepped forward and made as if to kneel down before Lin Fan!
"Senior, you flatter me. Xinlan is my friend, and helping her is just a small favor."
Lin Fan hurriedly stepped forward to help Ye Zhong. He had long regarded Xin Lan as one of his concubines, so they were all family and there was no need to be so formal!
"Just...friends."
Xinlan's expression dimmed slightly, and she murmured something in a whisper.
"Xinlan, quickly introduce your friends to me."
Ye Zhong's voice pulled Xin Lan out of her thoughts.
“Oh, Grandpa, he is the Lin Fan I mentioned to you before. With him, our Ye family’s position among the five major families in the Pill Domain can be preserved.”
Xinlan began her introduction.
"Lin Fan... That name sounds familiar. Could you be the one who caused such a ruckus at Fenglei Pavilion not long ago?!"
A moment later, Ye Zhong's expression changed drastically, and he stared at Lin Fan from head to toe in disbelief!
The fact that Zhao Hei and Qin Mo, both six-star Dou Zong level cultivators, could be dealt with so easily, and that they even shared the same name, naturally led Ye Zhong to connect the two!
"Yes, it is indeed this junior."
Lin Fan nodded in acknowledgment; it seemed he had already become famous in Zhongzhou!
"Great! The Ye family is saved! Men, prepare a feast!"
Ye Zhong was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He hurriedly gave the orders, and the entire Ye family was freed from the previous gloom. Everyone's face was filled with indescribable joy.
Over the next few days, Lin Fan and the others settled down at the Ye family's house. Lin Fan introduced the two sisters, Han Yue and Han Xue, to Xin Lan, and the girls quickly became friends.
Besides his daily cultivation, Lin Fan took some time to visit the Blackfire Sect and wipe them out to prevent future troubles.
During this time, Lin Fan also learned about the five major families of the Pill Domain through Xin Lan: the Dan family, the Cao family, the Bai family, the Qiu family, and the Ye family.
Among them, the Dan family and the Cao family are the strongest, and they have been gaining momentum in recent years. The Bai family and the Qiu family are equally matched, while the Ye family is the weakest.
According to the rules of the Dan Tower, the five major families will conduct assessments of the younger generation every once in a while. Those who fail to meet the standards for a long time will be kicked out. The Ye family failed the first two assessments, so a third assessment will be conducted after a period of time. Only those who enter the top three can keep their positions.
As the most outstanding member of the Ye family, Xinlan had already reached the peak of the fifth-grade alchemist at a young age. Such talent would be considered a prodigy elsewhere, but it was not enough in the five major families. This is why she asked Lin Fan for help in the first place.
That day, just as Lin Fan was diligently cultivating with his three beautiful wives in the villa, a commotion arose in the front hall. "Cao Dan, it is true that our Ye family and your Cao family had a marriage agreement before, but this matter was shelved, and neither family mentioned it again. Now that our Ye family has found a suitable contestant, what is the meaning of your visit now?"
Ye Zhong's expression was solemn in the hall. Opposite him sat a young man in a purple alchemist's robe, looking disdainful. Beside him was an old man in gray robes, whose powerful aura was faintly visible.
"Clan Chief Ye, we had already agreed that as long as Xinlan married me, the Cao family would help you retain your position among the five major families. Although the engagement was put on hold, it was not canceled. Yet you are seeking outside help behind my back. Doesn't that seem a bit unreasonable?"
Cao Dan asked with a cold smile.
"Cao Dan, stop pretending! Everyone knows your Cao family wants to swallow up our Ye family; the marriage agreement is just a pretext!"
Xinlan, standing beside her, lightly bit her lip.
"Ye Xinlan, don't forget your place! As long as the engagement is not dissolved, you are my fiancée. How can you speak of your husband like that? You are so ill-mannered!"
Cao Dan smiled and said.
"you!"
Xinlan was both angry and anxious, but didn't know how to refute him.
"Xinlan is already my wife, what are you?"
Just then, a deep, resonant voice rang out from outside the hall, and Lin Fan strode in.
"Brother Lin Fan."
Xinlan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then her pretty face turned red, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest!
"I would die happy if I could be his woman in this life, even if it was only for a minute, even if it wasn't sincere."
Cao Dan's eyes narrowed slightly as he fixed his gaze on Lin Fan: "You're the outside help the Ye family found? You're not that old, but you've got quite the nerve!"
"Xinlan and I were engaged before, and now you say she's your woman? That's ridiculous!"
Cao Dan's lips curled slightly, showing that he didn't take Lin Fan seriously at all!
Lin Fan stepped forward to Xin Lan's side, stretched out his right arm to hold her slender waist, and pulled her into his arms.
"I don't care about your bullshit engagement. Xinlan and I will be getting married on a chosen date. If you sincerely wish us well, you can come and have a drink at the wedding. Otherwise, get out now!"
After Lin Fan finished speaking, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence. No one expected him to be so disrespectful to the Cao family!
"Boy, you are courting death!"
Before Cao Dan could speak, the gray-robed elder beside him couldn't stand it any longer. He moved swiftly and struck Lin Fan with a palm!
"Heh, a mere one-star Dou Zun dares to act tough in front of me!"
Lin Fan sneered and didn't back down, also striking out with a palm to meet the attack!
Bang!
After a low, muffled energy explosion, the gray-robed elder groaned and stumbled back dozens of steps before regaining his balance, his face filled with utter horror!
In contrast, Lin Fan looked relaxed and stood still without moving!
A mere one-star Dou Zun is not qualified to act arrogantly in front of it!
"How can this be?!"
Cao Dan was no longer calm and sat up straight from his chair!
This young man was about the same age as him, yet he was able to fight a Dou Zun expert head-on without being at a disadvantage!
After calming down, Cao Dan thought of a possibility: "Are you Lin Fan, the one who caused a ruckus at Fenglei Pavilion?"
The name Lin Fan is currently a hot topic in Zhongzhou, so it's not surprising that Cao Dan guessed it after a little association.
