Above all spirits

Chapter 450 The Meeting (Part 2)

Even when facing Lin Fan, Xue Lingjian's words and actions were perfectly measured.

But Lin Fan didn't seem very satisfied with this explanation.

He simply stared silently at the Blood Sword, as if deep in thought.

Even if Xue Lingjian's words make a lot of sense, they are objective facts and can almost be considered the standard answer.

But sometimes, not being tactful isn't necessarily a good thing.

There are indeed some creatures that are born to act according to their own nature and are fearless towards all things.

The "Immaculate Body" of that time seemed to have this kind of personality.

However, most living beings would be perfectly normal to panic or even tense when faced with a colossus far exceeding their own strength.

Although the little guy I had high hopes for in the initial test today was performing quite well, it was easy to see that he was forcing himself to stay calm and was a bit rigid.

But the Blood Sword is different.

The Blood Sword felt more like…

Having seen many beings like myself, or even beings more powerful than myself.

Growing up in such an environment, one would naturally not be terrified by minor issues such as differences in status or position.

But the demon before them was genuinely capable of using the Supreme Emperor Golden Body; he was indeed a member of the Supreme Emperor Demon Clan.

Within the Supreme Demon Clan, those stronger than himself…

what.

Could he be an illegitimate child?

Lin Fan chuckled self-deprecatingly at his own logic.

how is this possible.

Forget it, if you can't use your brain, then don't.

tired.

"How dare you say that."

"Many people know the inside story, but not many dare to speak out."

"I really don't know who gave you this confidence."

"but."

"If you're only after this Heavenly Garment General rank."

"Then go back."

Although Xue Lingjian didn't understand why, he still maintained his confidence.

"why?"

"Doesn't the Prison Warden want his internally protected demons to come out on top in the trials?"

Lin Fan shook his head.

"Not entirely."

"so."

Let me put it another way.

What benefits can you bring me?

Xue Lingjian was somewhat surprised to hear this, seemingly not expecting that Lin Fan, like the leaders of other departments, was at the center of a power struggle, using some of his power for certain interests.

That's not the information he received.

Or.

It's my own fault.

Was it too direct?

However, Xue Lingjian didn't have much time left. Because he had received guidance from the Blood Cloud Demon King and had been in seclusion for a period of time, he was lucky to be able to emerge from seclusion just in time for the Heavenly Guards' recruitment period.

There wasn't enough time for him to make any plans.

Therefore, when he was told that the Prison Warden had not yet used up the quota of internal protection for this year, his first plan was to get first place in the preliminary examination and use it as a bargaining chip to apply for the quota of internal protection of the Prison Warden.

Lin Fan's refusal clearly made Xue Lingjian somewhat unconvinced.

If that's the case... then let's go with the flow...

Xue Lingjian spoke with a hint of deliberation, yet without losing his emotion.

"But I've heard that you've never used this to exchange for anything before..."

Lin Fan waved his hand, interrupting Xue Lingjian, as if he knew what Xue Lingjian was about to say.

"you misunderstood."

"It should be said that they all misunderstood."

"I am not without desires, it's just that what I desire is different from what they desire."

"Whether it's for soul crystals, spiritual treasures, or consolidating their position, they're after them."

"I don't need this."

"All I seek is interest."

"There just weren't any demons in this year's edition that could pique my interest."

Xue Lingjian still hadn't grasped Lin Fan's true meaning.

But Gu Yun, standing to the side, twitched the corner of his mouth, having anticipated this.

"What specific interests are you referring to?"

"Let me put it this way, a demon like you, I admit you are indeed very powerful, but correspondingly, the obstacles in the trials will be greatly reduced, and you may even have a smooth journey. As my internal protection demon, I really have no interest in paying attention to a demon like you, understand?"

'Isn't this just because they enjoy watching others have fun?'

Werner hit the nail on the head.

"To put it nicely, I'm not interested; to put it bluntly, it's just not entertaining to watch."

indeed.

At Lin Fan's level, material desires can no longer satisfy him.

What he yearns for is spiritual pleasure.

"I see."

Xue Lingjian nodded knowingly.

Subsequently.

He then delivered the prepared remarks in a vivid and expressive manner.

Whatever Lin Fan's reasons were, he would say the same thing.

The fact that Xue Lingjian was somewhat annoyed by the unexpectedly casual reason only added to the credibility of his subsequent words.

"Chief Lin."

"I cannot agree with your reasoning."

“I’ve even started to consider your needs as the head of the prison administration.”

"In terms of the outcome, I am not satisfied, and I will gain the approval of the Prison Warden in my own way."

The Blood Sword did not say that it had gained Lin Fan's approval, but rather that it had gained the approval of the Prison Suppression Division.

Because he knows.

The top five in the final rankings have the right to choose which department they want to join.

In other words.

His resentment would force the prison warden to accept it, even if he didn't want to.

"In that case, I will take my leave now."

Xue Lingjian stood up and bowed to Lin Fan in thanks.

His purpose has been achieved.

Whether Lin Fan accepts it or not.

It's fine if you don't accept it.

Having a reason for wanting to join the Prison Guard is enough.

Watching Xue Lingjian's departing figure, Lin Fan chuckled and shook his head, not questioning it further.

"Still young and impetuous."

"I hope he doesn't act impulsively."

"There aren't many opportunities for promotion in the prison guards."

"However, he certainly has the right to be proud."

"He doesn't look very old; he's probably only been cultivating for a few hundred years?"

"Yet he has already stood at the threshold of becoming a demon lord."

Lin Fan changed the subject and looked to the other side.

"what about you?"

"You've come here to ask for advice, right?"

"Tell me, what do you want to ask me?"

Guang Xuzi was taken aback; clearly, he wasn't immediately prepared to ask anything.

So he quickly nudged Gu Yun's shoulder, indicating that Gu Yun should ask first.

Gu Yun didn't care; he had already prepared his questions.

Although I currently have two problems.

The most crucial thing right now is to hide the Primordial Life and Death Sword.

As for the cultivation of one's rank, although it is also important, there are many opportunities to find the answer to this question. Even Lilia can tell me most of it, so I will definitely find the answer in the future.

Gu Yun's tone was somewhat humble.

"Senior Lin, I would like to ask, if the ultimate goal of cultivation is the rule of death, what is the fastest way for me to begin?"

"Ok?"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow slightly, looked Gu Yun over, and confirmed.

"Are you choosing the path of death?"

"Um...?"

Gu Yun paused.

"Senior Lin, is there a problem?"
