Chapter 1162: Chapter 1063: Villain Script

“Finally, I see the road.”

Li Fan walked out of the mountain forest, feeling quite pleased.

He thoroughly enjoyed the leisure and beauty of the mountain forest.

Now, having finally left the mountain forest, he saw the main road.

However… where exactly was he?

Although he had arrived in the world of cultivation, Li Fan knew absolutely nothing about it…

Back when he was in Xuantian Realm, he at least knew there was something about a Fire Country, the geography concept, but it seemed that the heavens and earth had undergone several changes since then. Who knows what the situation outside now was.

“Who are you?!”

Just as Li Fan was puzzled, suddenly, a challenging voice emerged!

Li Fan looked and saw a group of people, about a dozen young men and women, standing on the other side of the road, watching him alertly!

Seeing this, Li Fan immediately approached and said:

“I am… Fan Li.”

He had changed his name!

After all, Li Fan knew in his heart that when walking in the outside world, one must keep a low profile and always be cautious, or else, one would die miserably.

“Fan Li?”

The group of youths looked at him, their wariness still not completely relaxed, and asked:

“Which Sect Gate do you belong to?”

Sect Gate?

Upon hearing this, Li Fan instantly understood.

The other party… was probably a cultivator!

He suddenly felt a bit nervous, for after all, he was merely at the Nascent Soul stage, and there were many cultivators outside who were stronger than the Nascent Soul, as the Dog System had told him.

One must be extremely careful when dealing with cultivators.

He immediately said:

“Sect Gate? I belong to no Sect Gate, just… a mere Loose Cultivator!”

Well, the identity of a Loose Cultivator suited him!

The group of youths, upon hearing this, slightly lowered their guards.

“A Loose Cultivator…”

“A Loose Cultivator, daring to travel alone in such a perilous place?”

But, they were still somewhat doubtful.

“You share the surname Fan too!”

At that moment, a petite loli in the team curiously looked at Li Fan, asking:

“Are you also from Bianleicheng?”

“Did you encounter any Forbidden Beasts while coming out of the mountain forest… Aren’t you afraid being alone?”

“Are you also going to the Qingjian Sect for the recruitment?”

…

She asked a whole string of questions!

Li Fan was somewhat stunned; this little girl… so many questions.

“Bianleicheng? Qingjian Sect? Recruitment?”

He asked, puzzled.

The little loli grew even more curious, saying:

“You don’t know Bianleicheng? Don’t know about Qingjian Sect?”

She seemed very surprised.

As if not knowing was a very naive thing… Li Fan said:

“I have heard of them vaguely… but I don’t know much.”

The little loli said:

“Bianleicheng… is the Bianleicheng of Qi Country, and Qingjian Sect is the largest and most formidable Sect Gate in Qi Country…”

She was diligently explaining when suddenly, a young man wearing a long sword at his waist impatiently said:

“Fan Yaoyao, why are you talking so much with this guy?”

“We still need to hurry on our way!”

Fan Yaoyao looked a bit wronged and said:

“I just wanted to ask clearly that’s all…”

The youth with the long sword, named Zeng Shisha, looked somewhat grim and said:

“What’s there to ask, it’s purely a waste of time!”

But, at this moment, little loli Fan Yaoyao’s elder brother coldly said:

“Zeng Shisha, speak politely to my sister!”

“What my sister does, what does it have to do with you? Dare to speak rudely to my sister again and see what happens?”

He instantly became a fierce protector of his sister!

And the little loli Fan Yaoyao also immediately said:

“Right, what does it matter to you whether I ask or not!”

After speaking, she turned her head back to look at Li Fan, saying:

“Where are you heading? Are you going to the Qingjian Sect?”

“This mountain road is very dangerous, with many dreadful Forbidden Beasts. Do you want to walk with us?”

Very dangerous?

Upon hearing this, Li Fan immediately felt… it was probably true.

After all, these people were very cautious when they saw him.

If he could travel with others… encountering danger would be a bit safer.

But, he needed to find someone… he immediately asked:

“The Qingjian Sect… in which direction is it?”

The little loli looked towards Fan Paiming, saying:

“Direction… elder brother, what direction is it?”

Fan Paiming’s brows slightly furrowed; his foolish sister, why did she want this stranger with an unclear background to come along with them…

He was opposed to the idea in his heart.

But having just reprimanded Zeng Shisha, he couldn’t possibly undermine his own position… he somewhat reluctantly said:

“Northwest.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan was reassured; he was indeed heading northwest.

“Good… if that’s the case, may I trouble you all?”

He wasn’t too reserved, for after all, he didn’t even know the way.

“This person has an unclear background, and you want him to accompany us? Fan Paiming, think it through!”

Zeng Shisha spoke coldly.

Their small group comprised almost entirely of descendants from noble families of Bianleicheng in Qi Country, all of whom had a certain status and were considered talents of Bianleicheng, familiar with each other.

But they were not really friends; they had formed a team only because the Kongshou Mountain Forest was too dangerous, agreeing to travel together before entering the mountain forest.

And the Fan Family and from Bianleicheng had always been in a competitive relationship.

So now, seeing the Fan siblings wanting to include Li Fan, Zeng Shisha naturally opposed the idea.

“If you disagree, feel free to go your own way!”

Fan Paiming is indeed tough!

“Alright, let’s not ruin the mood over a Loose Cultivator, let’s go.”

At this moment, someone by the side spoke up.

“If anything happens, it’s on you!”

Zeng Shisha coldly uttered a sentence and continued moving forward.

Seeing this, Li Fan also slightly furrowed his brows, this Mr. Zeng… really has an opinion about him…

“Fan Li, don’t be sad, they all have such tempers, quite stinky!”

The little loli, Fan Yaoyao, then said to Li Fan:

“My name is Fan Yaoyao, this is my second brother, Fan Paiming, and you are Fan Li, all three of us… have the surname Fan.”

Fan Yaoyao, forget it… but Fan Paiming, that name doesn’t sound too good… Li Fan muttered a complaint, but still nodded and said:

“Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.”

Fan Yaoyao whispered:

“Did you see the Cloud-Swallowing Demon Crane when you came from the forest?”

“I heard that the demon crane is super powerful, very scary! I heard it killed lots and lots of cultivators!”

Cloud-Swallowing Demon Crane?

What is that…

Li Fan shook his head, sure that he hadn’t encountered it.

Along the way, at most there had been a beautiful crane, a beautiful fox… and they were all very well-behaved and friendly.

If they really were the dangerous Forbidden Beasts as Fan Yaoyao had described, he would have been in trouble long ago.

Seeing Li Fan shaking his head, Fan Yaoyao was somewhat disappointed and said:

“Didn’t encounter it… what a pity. If we could have caught that demon crane, my second brother could level up quickly, defeat that Linyihao, and wouldn’t need to be cannon fodder at the Qingjian Sect…”

Mentioning the name “Linyihao,” Fan Yaoyao seemed somewhat annoyed.

Fan Paiming beside her unhappily said:

“Yaoyao!”

This silly girl, why does she blurt out everything…

Fan Yaoyao said:

“Okay okay, I won’t say anymore, I think Fan Li isn’t a bad person…”

Fan Paiming was troubled by his sister, but without a solution, he could only change the topic, turning to Li Fan and asking:

“By the way, Brother Fan Li, why are you traveling alone in this place?”

“I was originally… cultivating in seclusion, today, I came out to find someone.”

Li Fan didn’t elaborate.

“So it was seclusion cultivation… no wonder, no wonder you seem unfamiliar with the outside world.”

Fan Paiming spoke absent-mindedly, in his esteem, seclusion cultivation… mostly an excuse.

Just some country yokel… who hasn’t seen much of the world!

Moreover, he felt that this Fan Li’s aura was just like a mortal’s… perhaps, he hadn’t even touched upon the Path of the Forbidden.

Too weak!

He couldn’t bother to speak much with Li Fan anymore.

“This is Qi Country, one of the seven major countries of Yiyuan State, and Qingjian Sect is the largest Sect Gate in Qi Country…”

Meanwhile, Fan Yaoyao earnestly started to “educate” Li Fan.

Forbidden World, the Nine Continents and Myriad Lands.

This place is the southern part of Kaiyuan Continent, Yiyuan State, Qi Country.

These days, the world has been abuzz that twelve Fire Stars have fallen from the sky, and a great opportunity is about to emerge in the forbidden area of the Hanque Mountain Range in the southern part of Kaiyuan Continent.

Thus, Qingjian Sect of Yiyuan State promptly issued a recruitment order, preparing to head there.

For small city Sect Gates like the Fan Family and Zeng Family, Qingjian Sect is a Supreme Sect. Participating in this recruitment, as long as they perform well, they could become disciples of the Qingjian Sect, so naturally, they needed to seize the opportunity.

So they set out from Bianleicheng, heading to Qingjian Sect.

…

After listening, Li Fan felt overwhelmed.

“The world is so vast… where exactly have Yun Xi and the others gone…”

Li Fan felt… this would likely be very hard to find!!

“Look, this is a killed Forbidden Beast!”

Suddenly, someone ahead spoke up.

The crowd gathered around, only to see a deer corpse on the road.

The deer corpse was covered in wounds!

“This Forbidden Beast… isn’t weaker than the ‘Third Na’ Realm… and it was killed!”

“It’s a sword wound!”

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

First Na, is the first significant realm in the Path of the Forbidden, divided into five minor realms.

Even though talents like Fan Paiming and Zeng Shisha from Bianleicheng, most of them were still only at the “First Na.”

“Such a sword… could it be… Linyihao’s?”

Zeng Shisha looked at the sword wounds on the deer corpse and spoke gravely.

“He’s now able to kill Third Na level Forbidden Beasts…”

“Terrifying!”

Everyone was somewhat shocked, and then, they all looked towards Fan Paiming!

On Fan Paiming’s face, a shadow was cast, his eyes heavy!

“It’s over, it’s over… my second brother is really done for!”

Fan Yaoyao spoke sadly.

Li Fan couldn’t help asking:

“This Linyihao… who is he exactly?”

Fan Yaoyao said:

“He… was originally a prodigy from a small family in Bianleicheng.”

“He was very strong, but at the age of sixteen, he suddenly fell from grace, became a cripple, his realm continually regressed for three years, becoming a laughingstock.”

“But who knew, a few months ago, he made a crazy rise, cultivated some bizarre sword technique, and defeated all the geniuses in his clan…”

“Now, he and my second brother have scheduled a duel a month from now.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan was shocked.

A prodigy fallen from grace, becoming a laughingstock, then having a rise??

…This…

This is like a protagonist’s script!

A perfect example of a setback protagonist…

Li Fan couldn’t help looking at Fan Paiming with a complicated expression…

This guy… the name really wasn’t mistaken…

A perfect antagonist fate… taking on the antagonist’s script!

…

Good night.
