Chapter 680: Plan, take action
In the Taixu Mountains, in an inconspicuous cave.
Lin Fan sat cross-legged, and the faint light curtains of the formations around him fluctuated and lingered in the cave.
At this moment, a charming female cultivator of the demon clan stood in front of Lin Fan with a complicated expression.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, are you sure you want to do this? Although I am a saint of the demon clan, I am not your bargaining chip."
The demon clan woman who spoke was Jia Lan.
Thinking of Lin Fan, who actually used her freedom to exchange for the longevity fruit, Jia Lan's face became more and more ugly.
"Fellow Daoist Jia Lan, you are originally a powerful demon clan. Since you have met your own people and it seems that the relationship is not bad. Naturally, I have no reason to keep you."
"But I have been protecting you for these years. You will not turn a blind eye to this friendship, right?"
Lin Fan smiled lightly, looking calm.
Especially when he mentioned that he protected Jia Lan, there was an indescribable confidence.
This made Jia Lan's expression more complicated.
Thinking carefully about everything he had experienced in the lower planes over the years.
Jia Lan couldn't help but sigh again.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I was able to come to the spirit world alive thanks to your protection over the years. Logically speaking, it's understandable to give you some benefits."
"It's just that you want to use my freedom to exchange for the longevity fruit from Xue Ling'er, which is probably a bit inappropriate."
Jia Lan wanted to say something, but Lin Fan interrupted her with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Jia Lan, it's great that you understand my painstaking efforts. Over the years, you have been staying by my side as a soul, and your own realm cannot be fully restored to its peak state. If you can return to the demon clan, there may be another opportunity. In addition, as a human cultivator, it is indeed inconvenient for me to always be with a demon female cultivator."
Jia Lan pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, what you said makes some sense. But, you have calculated Xue Ling'er. It's not convenient for me to come forward. Everything still needs to be done by yourself." Jia Lan said.
"Haha, don't worry, fellow Daoist. I don't need you to come forward for everything. I just need a token from you and a breath of soul from you, how about that?" Lin Fan said.
"This is not a big deal. Just listen to what fellow Daoist Lin arranges." Jia Lan said with a smile.
"Very good, that's settled."
Lin Fan nodded.
After Jia Lan gave him a jade pendant and a breath of soul, Lin Fan confirmed that it was correct and then put it away properly.
Then, Lin Fan waved his hand casually, and the restrictions he had placed in Jia Lan's body disappeared instantly.
This surprised Jia Lan, who had completely regained his freedom.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you have completely removed the restrictions in my body at this moment, aren't you afraid that I will do something bad to you?" Jia Lan said suspiciously.
Lin Fan shook his head, his eyes full of sincerity: "Although Fellow Daoist Jia Lan is a powerful demon, his character is not bad. I believe that Fellow Daoist will never do such a thing to plot against me."
"This... Thank you for your trust, Fellow Daoist Lin. I can swear with my inner demon that even if the demons and humans fight in the future, I will not attack you if you and I meet on the battlefield." Jia Lan said gratefully.
"If so, thank you Fellow Daoist Jia Lan. I have arranged many formations in this cave. Ordinary immortal cultivators in the God Transformation Stage have to spend some tricks to enter it. Fellow Daoist, stay here with peace of mind. When I get the longevity fruit, someone will naturally come here to find you."
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he left without looking back.
After a few flashes, he disappeared in the depths of the Taixu Mountains.
Jia Lan looked at Lin Fan's back with a very complicated expression.
However, when Jia Lan was about to open the protective formation and leave the cave, he found that the protective formation did not move at all.
"This... Fellow Daoist Lin still won't trust me completely. He is still keeping a hand in secret."
...
The vast mountains disappeared rapidly under Lin Fan's feet.
He waited for Lin Fan to escape dozens of miles in one breath and confirmed that no one was following him nearby. He was completely relieved.
"Jia Lan must be a demon cultivator. Naturally, I can't trust her completely. If she stays in the cave and cooperates with me, everything will be fine. Otherwise, the remaining restrictions in her body will make her live a life worse than death!"
Lin Fan muttered, and his majestic divine thoughts had completely dispersed.
Not long after, he found the place where the ancient giant was.
At this moment, there were more than a hundred cultivators gathered near the ancient giant.
Among them, the Yuanying stage cultivators accounted for more than half.
Lin Fan asked himself that he was a cultivator in the Shenhua stage, but facing such a powerful lineup, he didn't dare to go down and snatch the longevity fruit easily.
The most important thing is that the longevity fruit that he had been thinking about has not appeared yet.
I don't know where it is hidden.
"We have to wait a little longer. When the Blood Demon Clan gets the Longevity Fruit, I will talk to Xue Ling'er. No matter what, we have to get the Longevity Fruit."
Lin Fan muttered to himself, and his clear and bright eyes were activated to find Xue Ling'er's whereabouts.
After a while, he found that Xue Ling'er and several other powerful demons were lurking underground only a hundred feet away from the ancient giant.
On the other side of the ancient giant, several human cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage were also hiding in the dark.
So far, neither side seems to have discovered the whereabouts of the other.
This made Lin Fan suddenly depressed.
"Since these people are hiding under the ancient giant, they are so close to each other, so they didn't find each other? It's incredible."
Lin Fan secretly complained and did not get too close.
After restraining his breath, he stood directly on a mountain top and released his divine sense to explore the surroundings.
About an hour later, the ancient giant who was quite pleasing to the eye seemed to have noticed something, and his huge body actually rushed towards a valley in the distance at a high speed.
Seeing this, Lin Fan was surprised.
After urging his divine sense and carefully exploring for a while, he found that there was a towering tree in the valley where the ancient giant rushed.
On the tree, the majestic vitality spread rapidly.
Under the countless green leaves, a fist-sized vermilion spiritual fruit was swaying in the wind.
The fragrance emanating from it could be smelled even from dozens of miles away.
"Is this the fruit of immortality? It is really extraordinary."
Lin Fan secretly marveled.
While speaking, he also rushed towards the valley at a high speed.
At this moment, except for the ancient giant, it seems that all the immortals have discovered the existence of the fruit of immortality.
While the ancient giant hadn't grabbed the longevity fruit yet, countless Yuanying-stage immortal cultivators joined forces to launch a terrifying attack on the ancient giant.
Boom!
Countless powerful attacks quickly fell on the ancient giant's location.
The extremely powerful attack made the ancient giant with thick skin and flesh bleed.
It was worth it. Even the huge body of the ancient giant was shaking violently at this moment.
Lin Fan, who was closely monitoring this period, was suddenly a little frightened.
"Fortunately, I didn't rush over rashly just now. If I was targeted by these guys together, there would be absolutely no chance of survival." Lin Fan said.
But at this moment, the ancient giant was also completely enraged by countless immortal cultivators.
The moment the forward steps stopped, the thick fist was raised high and smashed towards the place where countless magic weapons attacked.
Boom!
Accompanied by a sharp loud noise, the magic weapons flying all over the sky towards the ancient giant were shot down by an extremely domineering force.
Those Yuanying-stage immortal cultivators who attacked the ancient giant were not only severely injured, but were even directly blown away by the remaining attack force.
However, those immortal cultivators did not stop until they died.
They continued to attack the ancient giant to prevent the immortal fruit from falling into his hands.
At this moment, Lin Fan finally discovered that the blood demons and human immortal cultivators hiding underground also sped up and rushed towards the immortal fruit.
"Are you finally taking action? If so, I will stay here and wait for the blood demons to send the immortal fruit over."
