Chapter 10: The Soul Keeper

Compared with two years ago, Ling Fan has grown a lot taller, and the only thing that hasn't changed is Ling Fan's outfit. It was still the same coarse cloth coat that wrapped the whole body tightly, and the cloak on his head only leaked out of his eyes. If you just look at it from the outside, no one in the current Ling Fan will guess his true age.

Ling Fan took out the letter that Gu Yang had left for him from his arms, looked at the familiar words on it and remembered what Gu Yang said to him when he left, it was time to leave, what kind of place was Sunset City?

Today, Ling Fan specially roasted a few hares, and sat in the familiar courtyard, in front of a stone table, and across from him sat the mother-in-law who had been taking care of Ling Fan.

"Mother-in-law, thanks to your care in the past few years, today I specially cooked a meal for you, in fact, I caught a few hares and roasted them, after all, I won't do anything, it can be regarded as a little bit of my heart. Ling Fan said with great emotion.

"Are you leaving?" Hearing Ling Fan say this, the mother-in-law roughly understood Ling Fan's intentions, and tears welled up in her eyes. Although they have only been together for a few years, she has already regarded Ling Fan as a relative.

"It's okay, the world is so big, you can't nest in this small place, you have grown up and become stronger, it's time to go out and explore. The old woman kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Thank you, mother-in-law. Ling Fan is also very sentimental, but good times are always short-lived.

After eating his last meal with his mother-in-law, Ling Fan packed his package. Coming out of the small courtyard step by step, looking back at the eyes full of reluctance after a few steps, looking at the mother-in-law who was standing at the gate of the courtyard and constantly waving goodbye, Ling Fan bowed deeply from afar, turned around and walked out of this small village where he had lived for more than two years.

After leaving the village and walking on the main road, Ling Fan's heart felt a little better. It's always sad to say goodbye. Ling Fan inquired about Sunset City all the way. It is worthy of being one of the three major cities of the Chiyang Empire, except for Ling Fan, a kid who has never seen the world, almost no one knows Sunset City. The location is clear, just a little farther away.

Ling Fan walked for more than ten days in a row, and the dry food in the package was almost eaten. Fortunately, Ling Fan still has his housekeeping skills - hunting. Walking all the way to replenish food, Ling Fan was not hungry. I just have to sigh, the Chiyang Empire is really vast! In the past, Ling Fan lived in the Tianyuan Mountain Villa, which could be described as a frog at the bottom of a well.

Ling Fan felt that his speed was not slow, but after walking for more than ten days, he didn't know how many roads, but he didn't even see the shadow of a village, and he only occasionally passed some passers-by and caravans along the way.

Fortunately, the road is still easy to walk, and the few woods through it are not too big and there is no danger at all. After taking a short break, Ling Fan continued to hurry, and the vision in front of him was slowly blocked.

Well, mountains. This was the first mountain Ling Fan had seen other than Tianyuan Mountain. There is no comparison between this mountain and Tianyuan Mountain, the top of the mountain can be seen from Ling Fan's current position, it doesn't seem to be very high, and it is not difficult to climb over. After walking on a flat road for more than ten days in a row, Ling Fan felt that it was not bad to occasionally walk the mountain road that he had not seen for a long time.

The most important thing is that you can pick some wild fruits, Ling Fan has eaten meat for a few days in a row, to be honest, he is really a little tired. Thinking that he could eat the sweet wild fruit, Ling Fan felt that the saliva in his mouth was almost dripping. The greed quickened his pace towards the mountain ahead.

Soon Ling Fan came to the foot of the mountain, from a close point this mountain is also majestic, the trees on the mountain are denser and wider than the woods he passed before. Such a mountain should be some fierce beasts, Ling Fan couldn't help but be solemn when he remembered the experience of coming down from Tianyuan Mountain, and his vigilance was greatly improved.

Walking towards the hill in a big way, there were more and more fruits on the trees around them, and among them was a tall tree, and the fruit on the tree looked extraordinarily large.

"That's you. Ling Fan jumped to the tree in a few clicks, stretched out his hand to pick a fruit, and ate it, it was very sweet. While eating, he looked around, and suddenly Ling Fan noticed that there were some people lined up not far in front of him, and in front of them a big man was blocking the way.

Ling Fan was very curious, and came down from the tree and walked towards these people. One of the caravans was talking to the big man about something. Then Ling Fan saw the leader of the caravan hand a small leather bag to the big man, and then the whole caravan slowly passed by.

Originally thought that something was wrong, Ling Fan didn't think much about it, so he continued to hurry. Ling Fan didn't line up in the queue, but walked directly to the front, as if everything that happened now had nothing to do with Ling Fan. Ling Fan walked briskly, until he walked to the side of the big man, and before he passed, Ling Fan's arm was grabbed by a big hand.

"Well, what's the matter?" Ling Fan asked with an innocent expression.

The big man glared at Ling Fan with his eyes, "Boy, don't you understand the rules?"

"Rules, what rules?" Ling Fan was stunned by the big man.

"Yohe, there are really people who don't understand the rules, and they have to pay me ten taels of silver from here. The big man said.

"Why, this is your family?" Ling Fan asked rhetorically.

The big man was stunned for a moment and laughed. "You're right. As for why, it's by my fists. Saying that, the big man didn't wait for Ling Fan to react, and a punch hit Ling Fan's chest. Ling Fan didn't expect the other party to make a move at all, and Ling Fan, who was caught off guard, was knocked to the ground by a punch and rolled for a few consecutive laps before stopping.

"You ......" Ling Fan stood up from the ground, although it seemed that Ling Fan was very embarrassed by this punch, but in fact, except for a slight pain in his chest, it was not a big deal.

The big man was a little surprised to see Ling Fan standing up fine. He really didn't expect Ling Fan to stand up after his punch. The others around saw the big man make a move, and they all retreated to the rear.

"Yo, boy, yes, you can take my punch, you have some ability. The big man said.

Ling Fan looked at the other party carefully, and only then did he feel that this big man was not simple, and there were streams of aura around his body, and through the perception of aura, Ling Fan noticed that there was aura going in and out of the big man's body. He is a cultivator.

"You are a cultivator, don't you feel ashamed to do such a shameless thing?" Ling Fan couldn't help but scold the big man angrily.

"Boy, if you want to be nosy, this piece of Lao Tzu counts, if you know each other, you will pay the money obediently, and Lao Tzu can let you go. Otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu's fists for not having eyes. The big man said confidently.

"Do you want money?" Ling Fan smiled slightly, then spread his hands, "No." ”

"Then don't blame Lao Tzu. I thought that Ling Fan would pay the money obediently, but I didn't expect that Ling Fan would dare to play tricks on him. The big man said and rushed towards Ling Fan.

It's so fast, what Ling Fan didn't expect was that such a huge body of a big man was so fast. At this moment, the fist had already hit Ling Fan's face, and it was too late to dodge, so Ling Fan had to protect his face with his arm.

Bang, the fist hit Ling Fan's arm, Ling Fan took a few steps back, and felt his arms tingle slightly. That's a lot of strength!

The big man was even more surprised than Ling Fan, this punch was even stronger than the punch that hit Ling Fan just now, he didn't show mercy to his subordinates, but Ling Fan was not knocked out like just now.

Surprised to surprised, the big man's movements did not stop, and he rushed towards Ling Fan again and continued to wave his fists. Ling Fan was a little overwhelmed and barely dodged a few punches, but most of the punches hit his thin body. And Ling Fan could only protect the vital position and be beaten passively.

Usually, Ling Fan was just cultivating, and even if he was cultivating, he had just stepped on the right track, and he had never fought with anyone, such a battle was the first time in Ling Fan's life.

What should I do? Ling Fan didn't know how to fight at all, and no one had taught him how to fight. He was not good at fighting, in the face of the beast, maybe Ling Fan could come up with some way or even kill the beast, but the opponent was a human or a cultivator, Ling Fan's way of dealing with the beast would not work.

At this moment, Ling Fan was in a dilemma, making him murderous to a human being, and he didn't dare to think about it at his age. Ling Fan didn't dare to think about it, it didn't mean that the big man didn't think so. In the eyes of the big man, Ling Fan was just an ordinary person, because he couldn't feel the existence of aura in Ling Fan's body at all. It was no wonder that he thought like this, Ling Fan's method of absorbing aura was completely different from that of ordinary people.

The cultivator could sense the direction of the flow of the opponent's aura to judge the opponent's strength, but the big man could only feel the aura around Ling Fan, but he couldn't feel the aura pouring into Ling Fan's body, let alone the aura emanating from Ling Fan's body.

In the eyes of the big man, it was intolerable for an ordinary person to let a cultivator like him spend so long and still not be able to fight. Therefore, the big man was already murderous towards Ling Fan.

"Suffer death, let you taste how terrifying the strength of the Spirit Protector level is. The big man punched Ling Fan's face, his fist shining slightly. Ling Fan could see that it was a blow wrapped in his fist with aura.

Soul Protector. The other party was actually a spirit level cultivator, if this punch hit Ling Fan's body, I was afraid that his body would not be able to withstand it. There was no way, although he couldn't kill the other party, but if he just injured the other party, Ling Fan could still accept it.

Looking at the punch from the big man, Ling Fan did not dodge, but casually controlled a stone and held it in his hand. Then he raised his hand and hit the stomach of the big man. Ling Fan's idea was very simple, he thought that he only needed to injure the other party.

Ling Fan deliberately held the stone in his hand and then pretended to throw it out, in order not to let the other party see that he could manipulate the object. After all, Gu Yang said that it is only possible to control objects at the level of a spirit master, and the so-called tree is a big move, Ling Fan is better to keep a low profile.

But Ling Fan still thought too much, he originally thought that the stone would pass through the other party's body and make it hurt. The big man didn't expect Ling Fan to have this hand. Bang, the stone was hitting the big man in the stomach, but the stone didn't penetrate the big man's body.

Instead, the stone knocked the entire huge body of the big man into the air. Plopped, and the big man fell to the ground.

Ling Fan looked at the other party blankly. This...... You must know that the power of his control stone attack can penetrate a big tree, but he didn't expect to hit the opponent with this result. Is this the strength of the Soul Protector level? It can be forged to this extent.

Hmm, the big man stood up with his stomach in his hands, his clothes had been shattered, and his belly was bruised.

Hiss...... Hiss...... It was obvious that the big man was beaten by Ling Fan very painfully, and then he looked at Ling Fan with red eyes.

"Boy, yes. Although what the big man said was very simple, Ling Fan obviously felt that the other party was completely angry.

"You're going to die today," said the big man, gritting his teeth.

Ling Fan looked at each other with wide eyes, and the big man roared, his entire body was wrapped in aura, and the surrounding trees shook.

Boom, the big man knocked the big tree next to him to the ground with a punch. Looking at such power, Ling Fan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and then the big man rushed towards Ling Fan.

"You...... Give me death. The huge fist went straight to Ling Fan's door with a slight chill.
