Chapter 472: No One Can Steal My Monsters

"Despair Marquis..."

Lin Fan had already learned from his conversation with Xia Zehua that this area was under the control of one of the eight supreme beings of the Ancient Clan.

That is, the territory once ruled by "Eternal."

Ten thousand years ago, although "Eternal" had vanished and the eight supreme beings of the Ancient Clan were missing one, the Ancient Clan never lacked for the strong. Before long, a new Ancient Clan member ascended to the supreme throne.

Lin Fan didn't need to think to know how powerful these eight supreme beings were.

Although "Eternal" had been suppressed by the Sovereigns and others, that was only after luring "Eternal" into the Xuanhuang Realm and using the power of heaven and earth to suppress its strength to less than one percent of its original.

Yet even so, "Eternal," with less than one percent of its power, still killed the Sovereigns.

Conquering the entire Ancient Saint Realm would be no easy road.

The eight regions were vast as the sea; an ordinary person could not leave this region in a lifetime.

Those who ascended from the lower realms would all appear at fixed locations.

The place where Lin Fan had ascended was now under the control of Despair Marquis.

If not for the rescue by the various races of the Ancient Saint Realm, then for anyone who ascended, it would be a dead end.

Lin Fan also had his own thoughts; he wanted to liberate this place, especially the ascension point, which must be made safe. Otherwise, if it remained under the control of the Ancient Clan, there would never be a day of recovery.

But Lin Fan understood that with his current strength, he had no confidence to duel Despair Marquis one-on-one. Therefore, he had to keep getting stronger.

Originally, Lin Fan thought that going solo would be carefree and unrestrained, but on second thought, if he had a team, perhaps some things could be much easier.

He had just arrived in the Ancient Saint Realm, unfamiliar with the place, and clearly couldn't move an inch. Xia Zehua and the others, however, had ascended long ago and were very familiar with the area. If he wanted to become stronger, he would need their help.

"Brother Lin, what do you think we should do?" Xia Zehua asked.

"In my opinion, we should expand our team and increase our strength. With our current numbers, I'm afraid it's not enough," Lin Fan said.

"Hmm, that makes sense, but how do we expand the team? There are very few isolated compatriots here. There are many, many teams like ours, and many stronger ones. Others may not necessarily be willing to join," Xia Zehua said.

Lin Fan stroked his chin and began to think. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "We can go to the ascension point and rescue those who have just ascended, let them join the team, improve their strength, and then unite with other teams to fight Despair Marquis. Then we might not be without a chance of victory."

"Ah, right! Why didn't I think of that?" Xia Zehua slapped his thigh and exclaimed.

"Ascension happens once a month. We can rescue those who ascend, recruit them into the team, and gradually help them improve their strength." The more Xia Zehua thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Unfortunately, Lin Fan still had issues he hadn't mentioned to them.

Namely, what use were these newly ascended people? Their strength was only at the Great Heavenly Position Great Perfection realm, and they couldn't even defeat those Ancient Clan soldiers.

As for training them and helping them improve their strength, that was possible, but for Lin Fan, it all took too much time.

According to Lin Fan's own idea, he would increase his own strength in the shortest possible time, then use absolute power to forcefully crush everything.

This violent style was Lin Fan's forte.

"Swish, swish..."

Just then, leaves rustled.

Lin Fan, who was about to say something, frowned. "Someone's coming..."

"Huh..." Xia Zehua was startled. He didn't doubt Lin Fan's words at all and immediately became alert.

"Righteous Squad... I've been waiting for you for a long time." Just then, a voice came from the void. The voice sent chills down one's spine, as if it were very gloomy.

"Who's there?" Xia Zehua shouted angrily. He was used to such ambushes, but the fact that the enemy could hide without being detected made Xia Zehua somewhat serious.

The others also gathered together, alert to their surroundings.

"Cowardly scoundrel, come out! I, Mu Liang, will show you what's what." Mu Liang swallowed his saliva, and the horn on his head glowed, emitting ripples to sense the intruder's location.

But to Mu Liang's surprise, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the person's position.

Clearly, an expert had arrived.

"Hehe..." At that moment, a gloomy laugh suddenly came, and a figure appeared in the void.

The figure in the void was draped in a robe, with long black hair flowing.

His face was no different from a human's, but he exuded an inexplicable aura.

"Void Realm, Void Wuxin?" When Xia Zehua saw the figure and recognized the face, his expression changed.

"It seems you recognize me." Void Wuxin looked at the Righteous Squad with a leisurely expression, as if he didn't take them seriously.

"Hmph, a scumbag from the Void Realm, who doesn't know you? To curry favor with the Ancient Clan, you killed your own father and betrayed your own people. A despicable villain like you deserves to be killed by everyone," Xia Zehua said contemptuously.

Who didn't know about the recent major event?

Void Wuxin of the Void Realm had betrayed his compatriots. Countless people from the Void Realm were captured by the Ancient Clan, while he himself defected to the Ancient Clan and was promoted to centurion.

"Haha..." Hearing this, Void Wuxin burst into laughter, a chilling laugh.

"Survival of the fittest, the strong prey on the weak. And you people are truly foolish to the core... A mere joke of a lie, and a team like yours actually believed it. Haha..." Void Wuxin laughed heartily.

"Huh..." Xia Zehua and the others' expressions changed.

"Lord Despair Marquis is so powerful, how could he be injured? Haha..." Void Wuxin looked at the Righteous Squad with pity. To him, these people were too stupid.

Lin Fan sighed helplessly. He didn't expect retribution to come so quickly. If he hadn't met them, the Righteous Squad would have been cannon fodder.

But now, it was hard to say.

"Lord Void is truly formidable. With just a lie, he tricked these ants into coming."

"Kill them, and we'll receive the reward of Heavenly Will."

...

At that moment, one by one, Ancient Clan soldiers emerged from the shadows.

Among them was a decurion.

Seeing these Ancient Clan soldiers, Xia Zehua could no longer remain calm. If it were only Void Wuxin, he was confident he could lead everyone to safety.

But with so many Ancient Clan soldiers appearing, it was hard to say.

For Lin Fan, however, this was exactly what he needed.

The time for the strongest buff on his panel was almost up.

He had been lamenting that he hadn't made good use of such a buff and had missed the peak of his life.

But now, someone had come to him willingly.

Now, no one could steal his monsters.

At that moment, Lin Fan stepped forward and patted Xia Zehua on the shoulder.

"Brother Xia, don't worry. Just stand back and watch," Lin Fan said calmly.

"Brother Lin..." Xia Zehua said worriedly.

Lin Fan turned around and looked at the Righteous Squad. "All of you, watch carefully. No one is to interfere. I'll handle these all by myself."

Xia Zehua: "..."

Mu Liang: "..."

...

Early Heavenly Position, though not bad, might not be enough.
