Chapter 224 - 224: Heading Home (1)
Lin Fan revealed a confused look as he said, "Other one? Which other one?"
Yin said, "The one that we had lead you all here."
Lin Fan had to think about it for a moment, but when he did remember who this person was, he immediately knit his brows. He turned over to Yin and asked, "Who was the one that put the beast core into him?"
Yin was taken aback by this since he never expected Lin Fan to ask this. Jin could also feel the slight anger that was in Lin Fan's voice, so before Yin could say anything, Jin said, "It wasn't us, it was an agent that the Shadow Lord sent down to monitor us but was taken back because of a sudden situation."
Lin Fan's knit brows relaxed a bit when he heard this, but they were still slightly knit when he said, "Is there a way to change him back?"
This was something that involved the beast core, for a problem like this, there was no one more knowledgeable than actual members of the Beast Clan.
Both Yin and Jin knit their brows when they heard this before Jin said, "If it was earlier, maybe, but it is too late now. The beast core has completely fused with him and to separate him, we require a special Abnormal Law of a certain realm. Unless your friend here has that, we won't be able to do anything for him."
Lin Fan turned to Angela for confirmation and she shook her head.
Angela naturally knew what Abnormal Law they were talking about and she knew exactly where to find it, but it was still too early since the person who wielded it was still too weak. Exposing this ahead of time wouldn't be good for that person.
Lin Fan fell into thought for a bit before asking, "Where is that person now?"
Yin turned to Jin who said, "We had him locked up since we found that he was trying to help you, but now that everything has happened…"
Jin didn't finish the rest of his words since the meaning behind them were apparent.
Lin Fan nodded before saying, "Bring him here then."
Jin nodded before manipulating his spatial laws. With a flash of white light, there was a boy who had a pair of bunny ears on his head that appeared in front of them.
The boy was clearly confused by the situation that he saw, but he immediately said, "Young master Lin, you might not believe me, but you have to be careful. The golden one is a single mutation Beast King with spatial laws and the one with the mask is a rare Shadow Beast with the ability to transform in the peak Platinum Realm with shadow laws. The best way to defeat them is…"
But before he could finish, Lin Fan had raised his hand to stop him.
Jin and Yin both revealed awkward smiles when they heard this, but neither of them did a thing.
The boy was confused once again when he saw this. He looked around him and seeing everyone looking at him with strange gazes he couldn't understand, he finally couldn't take it as he asked, "What is going on here?"
Jin and Yin both looked at Lin Fan and Lin Fan seeing this explained, "They're on our side now, so there's nothing to worry about."
Yu Shu didn't know how to react to this, but after a moment of being dazed, he still said, "Young master Lin, you shouldn't trust these beasts. I know firsthand how sly they are and I am living proof of that, don't be fooled by them."
Lin Fan just shook his head and said, "It's fine, I have my ways to deal with them. More importantly, shouldn't you worry about yourself?"
Yu Shu looked confused, "Myself? What do you mean by that?"
Lin Fan calmly asked, "What are you going to do now?"
Yu Shu was taken aback at first, but then he said, "Where can I go now that I'm like this? I'll take care of the Beast Clan's invasion here before wandering around in the wild by myself. At worst, I'll just live a life of isolation."
Lin Fan paused for a second before saying, "How about you come work for me at my pet shop instead?"
Yu Shu was once again taken aback when he heard this, but he quickly came back from his senses as he said, "Work for you? I've already been exposed. If I work for you, they'll call you a traitor and won't let you off. Even if you are powerful, you can't stop the Union Government by yourself."
Lin Fan just calmly said, "It's fine, I have my connections. Even these two will be working at my shop, another person won't matter."
Yu Shu looked over at Jin and Yin before saying, "These two, you mean these two people?"
Lin Fan nodded and replied, "Correct."
Yu Shu fell silent into deep thought.
That was right, he didn't know anything about Lin Fan, so he wasn't sure that Lin Fan couldn't do this. Moreover, with the power that Lin Fan had shown, he must have some powerful background that he didn't know about.
If he was hiring these two beasts to work for him, then…
Finally Yu Shu made his decision.
Yu Shu said, "Alright, I'll come work for you, but we have to make sure that we stop this invasion first."
Lin Fan nodded in agreement. In truth, this had actually escaped his mind and he completely forgot about stopping the Beast Clan invasion.
Lin Fan turned to ask Jin, "How do we stop the Shadow Lord tribe's invasion?"
Jin said, "The Shadow Lord's spiritual sense was linked to the death pill in us and the only ways for those death pills to disappear is to either kill us or for us to die. Either way, it disappears once we die. Since they are gone, the Shadow Lord should think that this invasion is a failure and draw back his forces for another attempt. The only thing left to do is to take care of this pyramid which is the catalyst for the planar crack opening and creating a passage into the Blue Star Planet."
Lin Fan actually had a question he had been wanting to ask the entire time which he now had a chance to ask, "What is the deal with this pyramid? What is with all those games?"
Jin revealed a bitter smile as he said, "The Shadow Lord is quite evil, but he also has a twisted personality where he likes to play with his prey. This pyramid was a trap that he made to play with the prey that he caught, which was the reason for all those games."
Lin Fan then asked, "What about you then? Why did you call yourself the demon lord and go along with all of it?"
The smile on Jin's face filled with even more helplessness and bitterness as he said, "When you're being forced to do something by a maniac, there's only two ways to stop yourself from going crazy. One is to kill yourself and two is to find a way to enjoy yourself. He forced us to design all these traps, so the only thing we could do was play our roles faithfully and find a way to enjoy ourselves. Although I'm not proud of what I made, I am proud of the things that I made since they were some of my finest designs."
Yin nodded in agreement to this.
Lin Fan also nodded and he did feel sympathy for Jin, but there was nothing he could do with this sympathy so he didn't continue with this topic.
Lin Fan then said, "So how do we take care of this pyramid?"
Jin's bitter smile disappeared as he said with a serious look, "It isn't really that hard, this pyramid is bound to me, so I can take it away whenever I want. But the problem there is how are Yin and I going to go back to Blue Star Planet with you. I'm sure that there are experts from your Blue Star Planet who are outside this planar crack and if you show up with me and Yin, that definitely won't end well for you."
Lin Fan revealed a smile when he heard this and he said, "You don't need to worry about that, just tell me how you can put away the pyramid."
Jin nodded and said, "The pyramid is bound to me, so it's like your blade. Even if I'm away from it, I can call it back to me with a single thought."
Lin Fan's smile became wider when he heard this, "Perfect, then all you have to do is teleport us to a different place to where you teleported the other three first."
Jin was confused why Lin Fan asked this, but he still opened a portal for them to travel through regardless.
After walking through the portal, they arrived in a clearing in the forest with nothing around them. But when they turned back, they could see the giant pyramid that was in the distance.
Lin Fan nodded to Jin and Jin nodded back before the pyramid suddenly disappeared.
Jin then asked, "What about now? How will you take us out?"
Lin Fan ignored this first and asked, "Where are the other three?"
Jin pointed to the north and said, "They're three kilometers north of here. Once again, how are you going to bring us out?"
Lin Fan just smiled as he said, "Don't resist what I'm about to do."
Yin and Jin looked at each other with confused gazes, but then they nodded to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan came forward to grab their hands and they instantly disappeared from where they had been standing.
