Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

With Lin Fan's feat of defeating the four elders of the Zhan family, his name spread rapidly across the ancient continent like a gust of wind.

The monks who witnessed all of this spread this legendary story to every corner, making Lin Fan's fame instantly known throughout the world.

However, as these stories spread, there was a detail that puzzled many monks - where exactly was the bird that Lin Fan was talking about?

In their impression, the earth-shaking formation seemed to have nothing to do with birds and beasts. This became an unsolved mystery and aroused the curiosity of many people.

After returning to the Fang family, the whole family was immersed in celebration.

Fang Yutian and many elders came out to greet them personally and expressed their deep gratitude to Lin Fan, Ximen Zhi, and Jiang Shuiling.

Facing the enthusiasm of the Fang family, Lin Fan just smiled faintly, "We are all family, you are welcome!"

Although his voice was soft, it revealed a reassuring power.

Lin Fan knew clearly that although he came to Yunxiao City in name only to assist the Fang family, his deeper purpose was to establish a branch of the Dark Temple here.

This goal seemed to be a natural outcome as Fang Yutian was about to take office as the Lord of Yunxiao City, and all arrangements seemed to be developing in the direction he expected.

On the day when Fang Yutian officially became the Lord of Yunxiao City, the entire city was decorated with lights and the celebration lasted for several days.

Behind the scenes, Lin Fan and Fang Yutian had an in-depth communication.

Lin Fan stood at the highest point of Yunxiao City, his eyes penetrating through the layers of sunset glow, overlooking the prosperous and peaceful city below.

Yunxiao City, an important city located on the ancient continent, is well connected not only because of its geographical location, but also because it gathers countless geniuses and powerful people.

At this moment, Fang Yutian's proposal echoed in his ears, but Lin Fan's heart was in a completely different state.

"Fang Yutian, as the lord of Yunxiao City, don't forget to develop the Yunxiao City branch of the Dark Temple!"

Lin Fan's words were firm and powerful, and his eyes revealed unquestionable determination.

Fang Yutian stood in front of Lin Fan, his posture straight, his voice full of awe, "Yes, disciple obeys!"

Ever since the battle that shocked the entire ancient continent, Lin Fan's position in his heart has been like that of a god, supreme.

Fang Yutian's proposal came from the bottom of his heart. He was willing to give up the position of city lord and invite Lin Fan to be the city lord of Yunxiao City.

In his opinion, with a strong man like Lin Fan in charge, the future of Yunxiao City will be limitless.

However, for Lin Fan, the status of the Lord of Yunxiao City, although above everyone else, was not what he was pursuing.

Lin Fan withdrew his gaze from the city wall and looked towards the boundless sky in the distance.

In his heart, there is a wider world waiting for him to explore, and a higher realm waiting for him to break through.

Yunxiao City is just a stop in his cultivation career, and his steps will not stop there.

"Fang Yutian, Yunxiao City needs you, but I... I still have a long way to go."

Lin Fan's voice was gentle, but full of determination.

"You will also be personally responsible for the construction of the Dark Temple's Yunxiao City branch. As the city lord, you have to ensure the peace of this city and allow the people here to live a better life."

After hearing this, a complex emotion flashed across Fang Yutian's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

He bowed deeply to Lin Fan.

"Fang Yutian will keep the master's teachings in mind. I will do my best to complete the task."

Lin Fan nodded, satisfied with Fang Yutian's promise.

He knew that Fang Yutian was a capable and responsible person, and if Yunxiao City was handed over to him, it would surely develop even better.

In the following days, Lin Fan began to secretly arrange matters related to the Dark Temple's Yunxiao City branch, while also quietly preparing his next plan.

Elder Xuanbing sat in the main seat in the highest meeting hall of Qingyun Sect, with an unreadable expression on his face.

His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the thick mountain fog and look directly at every corner of the ancient continent.

After learning about Lin Fan's heroic deeds in Yunxiao City, he felt shocked, unwilling, and more importantly, an indescribable fear.

The battle in Yunxiao City has undoubtedly pushed Lin Fan to an unprecedented height.

The four elders of the Zhan family are well-known to everyone in the ancient continent. Even Elder Xuanbing has to admit how powerful they are.

However, such an existence was actually defeated by a rising star, which was undoubtedly a huge threat to the Qingyun Sect.

“Lin Fan…” Elder Xuan Bing muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of coldness, “What kind of existence are you?”

Elder Xuanbing knew that facing such a powerful enemy, he alone could not guarantee that he could escape unscathed even in the home turf of Qingyun Sect.

Therefore, he summoned other senior elders of Qingyun Sect to discuss countermeasures together.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was heavy, and every elder's face was filled with seriousness.

"Lin Fan is no small matter. His strength has far exceeded our expectations."

Su Tianyu said, with a hint of worry in his voice.

Elder Xuan Bing nodded, his eyes swept over the other new elders present, and he spoke slowly: "Since ancient times, our Qingyun Sect has never been afraid of any challenge. Although today's matter is difficult, it is also an opportunity to test us. Although Lin Fan is strong, he is only one person after all. With the power of Qingyun Sect, we will lay a net of heaven and earth, and we will definitely make him unable to return!"

Upon hearing this, all the elders nodded. Although they were still worried, Elder Xuanbing's words gave them a glimmer of confidence.

Therefore, Qingyun Sect began unprecedented preparations.

They used the resources and formations accumulated over hundreds of years in the sect to set up complex restrictions and mechanisms in the mountains surrounding Qingyun Sect. They even set up invisible barriers in the sky to prevent Lin Fan from launching surprise attacks from the air.

At the same time, Elder Xuanbing also specially sent elite disciples to investigate all the information about Lin Fan. He wanted to understand every weakness of Lin Fan and not miss any opportunity to exploit.

However, just as Qingyun Sect was making intensive preparations, Lin Fan seemed to have disappeared, and news about him came to an abrupt end.

This made the top leaders of Qingyun Sect feel even more uneasy. They knew that such calmness was most likely the calm before the storm.
