Chapter 423: Two Who Shattered the Void

"Scholarly spirit—is this the 'seizing of opportunity' that Lin Fan spoke of?"

At this moment, far away at the Snow-Covered Terrace of Huishan, Huishan Xuan Yuan Huishan Xuan Yuan Jingcheng’s expression shifted. Sensing the scholarly spirit coming from the direction of Wudicheng and the loosening of his own bottleneck, Huishan Xuan Yuan Huishan Xuan Yuan Jingcheng sat cross-legged and began to break through to the Land Immortal realm.

Seemingly sensing a Confucian scholar breaking through to the Land Immortal realm, one-third of the scholarly spirit dissipating above Wudicheng flew toward the Snow-Covered Terrace of Huishan.

Seeing this, Lin Fan nodded to himself. His father-in-law had not missed the opportunity; now he would be able to break through to the Land Immortal realm.

Xiaoyaozi patted Lin Fan on the shoulder, then soared into the sky, leaving the Boat of the Other Shore. At the same time, the aura on his body began to surge violently, and he soon advanced to the Shattered Void realm.

"Little friend Lin Fan, take good care of my three disciples, Li Qiushui, Li Canghai, and Wu Xingyun. I am off!"

Xiaoyaozi turned his head to entrust this to Lin Fan, then reached out and slashed the air. A pitch-black passage was revealed. Xiaoyaozi flew into the passage, and it subsequently vanished without a trace.

"Old thing, to think you’d beat me to it! Little friend Lin Fan, take good care of Brother Eagle for this old man. I am off as well!"

Before the crowd could recover from the shock of Xiaoyaozi shattering the void and leaving, Dugu Dugu Qiubai also broke through to the Shattered Void realm. After giving Lin Fan a final word, he shattered the space and departed.

"Why is everyone leaving instructions for me? I’m going to shatter the void and leave soon too!"

Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless. Those two old things—shattering the void was one thing, but Xiaoyaozi entrusting his disciples to him was one thing, and Dugu Dugu Qiubai actually leaving his Brother Eagle to him as well? He already had a very large eagle!

"Young Master Master Tianji, thanks to you this time, we were able to level the Heavenly Realm and safeguard peace for the mortal world. From now on, your name, Young Master Master Tianji, will likely become a legend. Even if you are remembered for eternity, it will be well-deserved!"

After a while, the crowd recovered from the shock of Xiaoyaozi and Dugu Dugu Qiubai’s departure and began to flatter Lin Fan.

"Not at all, not at all. It was all thanks to everyone working together with me, fighting through blood and fire. How could I claim all the credit for myself?"

Lin Fan waved his hands modestly. They shouldn't praise him so much; he would get embarrassed.

"Little friend, it has been many days since I left Mount Mount Wudang. I must return. Take care!"

Zhang Zhang Sanfeng was the first to bid farewell, and the other Land Immortals followed suit. In the end, only two Land Immortals remained standing in place: Shi Guanyin and Water Mother Yinji.

"Why aren't you leaving?"

Shi Guanyin said to Water Mother Yinji with a cold face.

"Then why aren't you leaving?"

Water Mother Yinji was unbothered by Shi Guanyin’s hostile attitude and countered with a question of her own.

"I intend to be Lin Fan’s woman, so I’m not leaving."

"What a coincidence, so am I!"

The two women went back and forth, leaving Lin Fan and his women stunned.

Did these two women think they didn't exist? Why were they talking to themselves like that?

"Are you not going to ask for my Brother Fan’s opinion? Do you think he’s a lecher? Well, as it happens, he is. Since you two have delivered yourselves to his doorstep, I’ll accept you on Brother Fan’s behalf!"

Huang Rong looked at the two women from left to right and said with a smile.

"Eh, come here!"

Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he reached out and beckoned. A woman on the city wall of Wudicheng was pulled toward him, and she looked exactly like Shi Guanyin.

"Yo... Young Master Master Tianji!"

Although the newcomer had the same face as Shi Guanyin, her personality was completely different. She appeared gentle and weak, stuttered slightly when she spoke, and looked truly pitiful and endearing.

"Are you... Shui Shui Lingguang?"

Lin Fan gently stroked the woman’s soft cheek, and she did not dodge.

"Master Tianji, Young Master, do you recognize me?"

The woman’s eyes lit up at these words, followed by a look of excitement. All her little thoughts were written on her face, showing just how simple her personality was.

"Everyone, with the joint efforts of myself and fifty Land Immortal seniors, the Heavenly Realm has been destroyed and the Celestials wiped out. From now on, the people of the mortal world need not worry about Celestials interfering with the order of the world, nor need they worry about them fishing for the luck of the masses from the Heavenly Realm. However, this is all we can do. Today, two seniors have shattered the void and left, and before long, I too shall shatter the void and leave this realm. I have one last thing to say to you all: 'As Heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should unremittingly practice self-improvement.' I share these words with you all!"

Lin Fan did not rush to answer Shui Shui Lingguang’s question. Instead, he walked to the bow of the Boat of the Other Shore and smiled at the crowd below who had come to Wudicheng to witness the event.

"The Young Master is righteous! Please accept our bows. May the Young Master rule for ten thousand ages and hold the universe in his palm!"

"The Young Master is righteous! Please accept our bows. May the Young Master rule for ten thousand ages and hold the universe in his palm!"

"The Young Master is righteous! Please accept our bows. May the Young Master rule for ten thousand ages and hold the universe in his palm!"

The heroes of the Wu Lin who had come to Wudicheng to witness the ceremony all bowed to Lin Fan. The sound of over a thousand people praying soared into the clouds, even scattering a cloud blown in by the wind.

Later generations wrote a poem in praise: "The Young Master smiles at the bow of the Boat of the Other Shore, the heroes pray atop Wudicheng."

When the crowd finished bowing and stood up, the Boat of the Other Shore had already vanished without a trace. Clearly, Young Master Master Tianji had already left, and he had even taken Dugu Dugu Qiubai’s giant eagle with him.

Only then did the crowd begin to discuss it heatedly. Coming to Wudicheng today to witness the ceremony, not only had they seen Young Master Master Tianji’s magnificent feat of leveling the Heavenly Realm, but they had also witnessed two Wu Lin legends shattering the void and leaving this world. It was truly a great fortune, and it would be a major talking point when they walked the Jianghu in the future.

"Where... is this?"

While the Wu Lin heroes were bowing and praying, Lin Fan had brought the women back to his small world. Seeing Lin Fan wave his hand and change the world, Shui Shui Lingguang looked at him with astonishment.

"This is my small world. Shui Shui Lingguang, did you just come out from the bottom of the cliff? Why is your speech not smooth?"

"Then, will you, will you laugh at me?"

Shui Shui Lingguang looked at Lin Fan with some worry. Her stutter was because she rarely interacted with people, so she was not fluent in speech.

"No. Not only me, but no one here will laugh at you. Besides, this isn't an illness; it’s just because you haven't spoken to people for years. You just need to talk to people more. Look, there are so many sisters here. If you spend a few days with them, your speech will become smooth."

Lin Fan smiled and comforted Shui Shui Lingguang.

"Hey, Lin Fan, I said I wanted to be your woman, and you ignored me. She looks just like me, why are you being so nice to her!"

At this moment, Shi Guanyin looked at Lin Fan with some dissatisfaction. This was too biased! What was she, Shi Guanyin, lacking?

"She is different from you. She is like a blank sheet of paper, and now is the time when she needs careful protection. As for you, your life has already formed a scroll. Besides, you, Shi Guanyin, have never feared anyone other than Water Mother Yinji, have you?"

Lin Fan looked at Shi Guanyin with amusement. It was truly a case of one thing subduing another that a woman like Shi Guanyin would fear another woman.
