Lin Fan heard this and slightly knitted his brows, but he quickly relaxed them as he said with a smile, “No one of consequence.”

The person with the different coloured cloak gave a cold laugh before saying, “I must know.”

Lin Fan just calmly replied, “Get used to disappointment.”

The person with the different coloured cloak gave another cold laugh before his voice turned even more chilly and he said, “Then what do we do now?”

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile and said, “How about we leave matters here for now?”

The person with the different coloured cloak took a deep look at Lin Fan and there was a tense silence that hung in the air for a long time. Finally, that person with the different coloured cloak gave a cold snort and turned around before saying with a wave of his hand, “Let’s go.”

Everyone had been caught off guard by this.

Both groups had thought that with the way the person in the cloaked figure was looking at Lin Fan, he would go all out with him. No one expected him to suddenly back down like this and leave.

Of course, this was the best result that everyone had wanted to see since they knew that it wouldn’t be the two of them that suffered if they fought, but rather it would be them who would be caught up in their fight.

If they weren’t careful, there might even be the possibility that they would lose their lives.

So naturally they would want to see this situation being resolved peacefully.

Of course, nothing that they said mattered since they weren’t the ones that would make the decision.

But now that they saw that the Assassins Association group was actually leaving, they were filled with joy, but they were surprised since there was no reason for them to leave. After all, it was clear that the person in the different coloured cloak was a match for this person who had just appeared to save them.

So as the Assassins Association group left, not a single one of them let their guards down just in case that this was all a ruse.

But they were shocked to find that the Assassins Association group actually left without a single fuss.

When they were gone, the leaders of the Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family groups came over to stand in front of Lin Fan.

They didn’t know who he was, but the fact that he had saved them meant that he wouldn’t be a bad person. Otherwise, what would be the point in saving them if he had other intentions?

Not to mention, they had seen how powerful the clash between him and that person with the different coloured cloak was. They knew that he had a power that they couldn’t match and it would be better to be his friend than to be his enemy.

Both of the leaders cupped their hands as they said, “This young master, thank you for your help.”

Lin Fan didn’t say anything, he just gave a nod in response to this.

Neither of the leaders minded since they knew that experts like this had their own personalities.

The leader of the Alchemy King Hall group spoke first, “This young master, may I ask what is your name? If you don’t mind, perhaps we could go together?”

As soon as he said this, the leader of the Dian Family group said, “This young master, you could also come with our group. Our group is definitely stronger than their group.”

Both of them glared at each other after saying this, but they quickly turned their gaze back to Lin Fan, waiting for his answer.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, “There’s no need for that, I was just passing by. Perhaps if there is a chance, we will be able to cooperate in the future, but for now, let’s go our separate ways.”

Then without saying another word, Lin Fan headed off into the forest without even turning back once.

The two leaders clearly seemed like they had more to say, but they weren’t able to say anything since they couldn’t say anything. After all, for people like this, saying more would actually make them annoyed with you instead of helping your case.

So both of them just silently watched as Lin Fan disappeared into the forest.

As for the matter of the herb that they had been fighting over, they decided to split it in half and go their separate ways since there were still other treasures waiting for them in this realm. If they spent too much time getting caught up with a single herb, they would be missing out on many different things.

When Lin Fan came back to the Hunters Organization group, everyone except Mo Ze Chen looked at him with a strange look.

They had been around the area and they had been close enough to see the battle and feel the aura that came from it.

After this battle, there was no way for them to look at Lin Fan the same way. After all, the level of power that he released far exceeded their expectations.

Lin Fan didn’t care about these gazes as he just said, “I’m going to the side for a bit. I’ll be back soon.”

No one said anything as they watched Lin Fan walk into the forest on the side, but it was clear by their expressions that they had their questions.

After coming into a clearing near the area where the Hunters Organization group was, Lin Fan suddenly bent over and spat out a small mouthful of blood.

He had been holding this mouthful of blood in his mouth the entire time and after finally being able to spit it out, he looked much more relieved.

As for why he had spat up this mouthful of blood, it was naturally because of his clash with the person with the different coloured cloak.

He had been able to see just how powerful the ice spikes were, so he hadn’t held back at all as he released all eight laws that he had at his disposal. This was an attack that had a very high strain on both his body and the Iron Eater Bone Artifact, but it was still at a level that he could contain since it was only a single attack. This wasn’t the reason why he had spat out that mouthful of blood.

Rather the reason why was the backlash that had come from the clash between the two.

He had been shocked to find that the ice spikes were evenly matched for his attack, rather it was actually a bit stronger than his attack. If it wasn’t for the use of his absorption power, he might have really been in trouble.

But the most shocking thing was that after absorbing part of that law, there was already half of the ice statue that had formed in Lin Fan’s dantian.

Just how strong did those laws have to be that even a small portion was enough to form half of the ice statue?

This clearly wasn’t the level of cultivation that someone in the younger generation should have, but now there was someone who had been able to release this kind of attack.

Was it someone that the Thunder Sect or the True Spirit Sect snuck in? Or was it someone from the Assassins Association?𝑂𝒱𝓁xt.𝐜𝑜𝕞

If it was someone from the Assassins Association, did that mean they weren’t working with the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect?

After all, if there was someone from the Assassins Association with this kind of power, why would they need to work with the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect?

But what about what Shi Yan had told him?

He said that the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect were indeed working with the Assassins Association, so it didn’t seem likely that the Assassins Association would betray them like this.

So could it be that this person was the backing for all three of these factions?

Was this person the reason why they had suddenly decided to work together?

The more thought he gave this idea, the more Lin Fan felt that it was likely.

After all, the sudden collaboration between those three factions hadn’t made any sense at all. Unless there was a driving force for this collaboration, they wouldn’t suddenly make an alliance like this.

While it seemed like the Ancient Era Ruins might be that catalyst, it still didn’t make sense how close they were.

But now with the appearance of this backer, it seemed to make much more sense.

The only question now was where did this person come from?

Lin Fan looked down at Brainy who had peeked her head out his sleeve and Brainy just shook her head in response to his gaze.

She couldn’t figure this out either even with her super intelligence.

There were just too many facts that were missing.

Then there was the fact that this person might not be the only person that snuck in.

After all, the Assassins Association group had all been cloaked because of their occupation, so who knew how many others were like the person with the different coloured cloak?

As Lin Fan thought about this, his head started to hurt more and more until he decided to stop thinking about it.

There was just too little information to work with right now and if he kept thinking, all he would do is distort the facts until they didn’t make sense anymore.

The only thing he could do now was continue forward on the path that he was given until he learned more.

But he also couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile as he shook his head while thinking to himself that this really was a lot of trouble.

All he wanted to do was live a peaceful life and slowly build up his power for his and his father’s revenge, but now it seemed like he didn’t have that option.
