Chapter 538 Inheritance (1)

The group that Lin Fan joined was one that was led by Senior Brother Ying.

This was the group that Lin Fan had saved all the way back then with a few additions. historical

At the same time, this was the group that Lin Fan was closest with since it was the group that he had known the longest.

Along with this group, there were also his two disciples that were with him.

Xiao Ming had no problem being here since she had already grown much stronger under him.

Huang Xie had only joined the Love Sect a few days ago, so his cultivation was still a bit lacking. The only reason he had brought Huang Xie was to give him experience and because Xiao Ming promised to take care of him.

Seeing the two of them, it really was strange.

Xiao Ming was clearly younger than Huang Xie, but she treated him like a younger brother.

Lin Fan really couldn't help wondering how it would turn out between them.

After all, in the novels that he read..relationships like this would normally turn out to be romantic for the Heaven's Chosen.

Would Huang Xie have a relationship with his senior sister when he became stronger?

Lin Fan wouldn't stop him since the Love Sect promoted free love.

Even if the Love Sect didn't, he wouldn't stop them because he was interested in how they would turn out.

Huang Xie's life was destined to be eventful since he was the Heaven's Chosen.

Lin Fan was just waiting to see how it would all turn out.

But for now, he should focus on the task at hand.

As they moved north from the camp, they slowly began to spread out.

The rope was attached to Senior Brother Ying since he was the leader of the group.

This rope was a special spiritual tool that was made just for this. It was made of spiritual energy, so it wouldn't impede them as they walked around the forest.

One might think that Lin Fan would be the leader of this group, but he took a step back since he knew that in terms of giving them orders, Senior Brother Ying was better.

Senior Brother Ying knew them better, so he would be able to give better orders than Lin Fan.

As they spread out through the woods, Lin Fan made sure that he still had sight of Xiao Ming and Huang Xie.

It was the same with the other elders and their disciples.

But even after they went around for a bit, they weren't able to find anything.

It wasn't just that they weren't able to find anything, it was that they weren't able to find any trace of life here. It was as if there wasn't a single living creature in this forest which was just strange.

If there weren't any living creatures, why was the forest not a complete mess?

After all, if plants weren't inhibited by animals, they would grow completely wild. Yet these trees and plants seemed like they interacted with animals, so they didn't grow completely wildly.

It was as if something trimmed them from time to time.

So there was definitely something here that was taking care of these trees.

But what was it?

It almost felt like we were being led into a trap with how abandoned this place was..

Still, we couldn't just back down without getting any information at all.

That would be a waste of time..

Lin Fan used the rope which could also transmit messages with spiritual sense to speak to the others.

When they heard this, they all shared his sentiment since they had also felt that there was something off about the forest.

With that, they decided to go back to the camp to regroup with the others.

When they came back, the other groups were arriving back at camp as well.

Since the rope was attached to the base camp, it also alerted base camp of what Lin Fan had been thinking, so they had called back the other groups.

After all of them gathered, Lin Fan told them what he had been suspecting.

As they listened, the other elders all slowly knitted his brows.

When he was finished, the elders slowly nodded in agreement.

They had also felt that this forest around them was strangely quiet. They hadn't been able to find a single trace of a living being in this forest, almost seeming like it was abandoned.

In short, it seemed too quiet.

So they all agreed to the plan that Lin Fan proposed.

His plan was to penetrate the forest in a single direction with a group of elders while leaving all of the disciples in the camp with the remaining elders to watch over.

That way, they would be able to deal with anything that came at them and focus on breaking through this place.

The ones that were chosen to go were the strongest elders.

That way they would be able to deal with anything that they came across.

Before leaving, Lin Fan instructed the elders at the camp, "If we're not back in a day, leave this place and don't come back."

The elders at the camp were surprised with how serious Lin Fan was, but they nodded in agreement after seeing the serious look that he had.

It seemed that he wasn't playing around.

Once all of the elders had gathered and prepared, Lin Fan headed off with the elders following him.

Since he was the one that had proposed this, he was the one that led them.

They headed off in the northern direction like Lin Fan's instincts told him.

He was the one that they were all bound to by the rope.

For the first few minutes, there was nothing that happened.

It was so quiet that it was almost unnerving.

They didn't notice this before because they had been focused on trying to find things, but now that they had been made aware of it by Lin Fan, they couldn't help noticing it.

It really gave them a very strange feeling.

The longer that they continued, the more unnerved they felt until finally one of the elders couldn't help asking, "Sect master, should we head back? If we keep going too far in one direction, we might get lost. Shouldn't we head back and reorganize ourselves first, as well as figure out a way to mark our path?"

The other elders nodded in agreement to this, except a few of the ones that saw what Lin Fan saw.

Lin Fan ignored them as he looked in front of them.

It seemed like he was looking at nothing, but he narrowed his eyes as if he was looking at something specific.

Most of the elders couldn't help being confused when they saw this.

Lin Fan slowly made his way forward towards this thing that seemingly only he could see.

Then all of a sudden, he stopped.

He reached his hand up and slowly brought it forward in front of him.

This action made the elders who didn't understand what he was doing wonder if their sect master had gone crazy.

After all, he was reaching out into space as if he was expecting to touch something.

If this wasn't crazy behaviour, they really didn't know what was..

But then..Lin Fan's hand actually made contact with something.

It was some kind of barrier that was in front of him.

It had been invisible to the eye until it had been touched by Lin Fan.

Once it had been touched, there was a refraction to this barrier that made it visible to the naked eye. Once he had touched it, it suddenly became a barrier that they could sense.

They finally understood what Lin Fan was doing.

But that just made them even more cautious.

After all, they could see that it was a barrier that completely surrounded them.

Did that mean that they were in a trap?

After this thought passed through their mind, there were many elders that wanted to return right away and leave this Minor World.

After all, being trapped like this didn't seem good no matter how they looked at it.

But before any of them could say anything, Lin Fan had suddenly stuck his hand out of the barrier.

When he touched it, he found that he was able to push his hand through without any resistance at all.

He didn't understand why a barrier would have this kind of feature, but he was able to stick his hand out like he had expected.

He just held his hand outside of the barrier, as if he was waiting for something.

The elders didn't dare say anything just in case anything went wrong.

After a few seconds, there was a roar that came from outside the barrier.

There were a few trees that suddenly fell before a large baboon suddenly started running at them.

This baboon almost seemed like it came out of nowhere, but here it was charging at them at full speed.

They could feel the aura coming from this baboon, it was in the Qi Condensation Realm.

This wasn't that strong compared to them, but they didn't dare let their guards down.

However, Lin Fan just raised a hand as if telling them not to make a move.

The elders all knitted their brows seeing this, but they still trusted Lin Fan and waited to see what happened.

As the baboon came closer and closer, they couldn't help feeling more and more worried.

But then before the baboon could reach them, Lin Fan suddenly pulled his hand in.
