Ling Fan had not been traveling with the toad for long after leaving the Liuyun Kingdom.
They were on their way out of the Tianshan Domain.
When they encountered an unexpected person.
Wei Bin!
The moment Wei Bin saw Ling Fan, his eyes lit up, and he scurried over.
Before he even got close, he waved his hands frantically at Ling Fan, "Brother Ling, Brother Ling! Where are you going? I specifically came from the Tianluo Domain to find you!"
"What do you need me for?"
Ling Fan couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing Wei Bin.
"Naturally, to pay you a visit!"
Wei Bin said with a grin.
"As the saying goes, important people have poor memories. If I forget you in a few days, wouldn't I be at a huge loss? I have to stick close to your thigh, lest you don't recognize me the next time we meet."
Ling Fan glanced sideways, "Is it really okay to be so blunt?"
Wei Bin replied, "This is called honesty!"
"You're so humorous (a clown), I won't forget you."
Ling Fan laughed.
"That's good then!" Wei Bin grinned, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.
"By the way, Brother Ling."
Wei Bin looked at Ling Fan again.
Seeing his roguish demeanor, Ling Fan knew this fellow was about to try and peddle his sisters again.
As expected.
Wei Bin said, "When I returned, I told my sisters about your deeds, and they were absolutely smitten with you. Each of them said they would marry no one but you. See if you can do me a favor and take my sisters in. If you think they're too many, you can take just one!"
As he spoke, Wei Bin channeled some spiritual energy, creating ripples in the void that transformed into vivid portraits.
The portraits depicted four young, beautiful, fair-skinned, and noble women.
They were indeed exceptionally beautiful and graceful.
"Look, I was afraid you wouldn't believe me, so I even brought their portraits! What do you think, aren't my sisters good-looking?"
Wei Bin said with great effort.
It had to be said, this fellow's talent as a matchmaker and pimp was far greater than his cultivation talent.
Ling Fan rolled his eyes, finding this fellow, who was so keen on becoming his brother-in-law, utterly speechless.
"Bang!"
Ling Fan kicked him impatiently.
"Scram!"
Wei Bin didn't get angry after being kicked by Ling Fan. He patted his backside and continued to cling to him.
"Alright, enough joking. Brother Ling, where are you headed?"
"Leaving the Tianshan Domain to find my wife."
Ling Fan briefly explained the situation.
Wei Bin looked at Ling Fan with admiration and said, "Brother Ling, you truly are a good man. You're just a tiny bit behind me, but you can be considered an exceptionally good man."
"However."
Wei Bin said seriously, "You absolutely cannot go to the Tianluo Domain now. You killed Luo Yun, the son of the Tianluo Sect Master, that idiot. Now his father, Luo Gang, wants nothing more than to tear you to shreds. I came to the Tianshan Domain this time to notify you in advance and tell you to lie low."
Wei Bin's words reminded Ling Fan.
Ling Fan frowned, "If you can find me, the people from the Tianluo Sect might also find the Liuyun Kingdom. Then the Lan Family Fort will face utter destruction!"
Just as Ling Fan was considering how to handle the situation.
Wei Bin waved his hand, "There's no need to worry about that. The Tianluo Sect has more urgent matters to deal with right now and no time to extend their reach into the Tianshan Domain. As long as Brother Ling doesn't go to the Tianluo Domain, you'll be fine!"
"What could be so important that it makes the Tianluo Sect Master temporarily set aside his revenge for his son?"
Ling Fan asked curiously.
Wei Bin replied, "I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but it concerns the entire Wuzhou. Storms are brewing, and I can already smell a great disaster. The Tianluo Sect, as the sole seven-star martial arts power in the Tianluo Domain, is at the forefront. If Wuzhou undergoes any changes, they won't be able to escape this vortex. Therefore, in the face of such a threat of annihilation, the Tianluo Sect Master can't even bother about his dead son."
"Huh, Brother Ling, is this toad your demonic pet? Wow, it's so shiny and unique! And its strength is also very high! Where did you find such a peculiar creature?"
Wei Bin's gaze fell upon Mo Dazui behind Ling Fan, and he exclaimed in surprise.
The toad was immediately displeased!
It glared at Wei Bin askance and said, "Demonic pet, your ancestor! You're the human pet, and your whole family are human pets! Mo Ye is a Golden Toad that devours demons. Show some respect to Mo Ye, or don't think I won't dare to hit you just because you're friend with our Ling Venerable!"
"Heh, quite temperamental! Don't be angry, it was just a joke. As you said, I'm a friend of your Ling Venerable, so you should consider the face of the master, shouldn't you? You don't hit a smiling face, do you!"
Wei Bin said with a chuckle.
The toad then snorted coldly.
Its gaze towards Wei Bin remained somewhat unfriendly.
Wei Bin didn't mind and said to Ling Fan again, "Brother Ling, since you're going to another region, count me in. I'll go with you to see the world."
Ling Fan said indifferently, "I don't object to you coming along, but I have my own matters to attend to and won't be able to give you special care."
Wei Bin replied, "That's nothing! I'm a grown man, a late-stage Core Formation genius. I have the ability to protect myself and guarantee I won't hold Brother Ling back."
"Mm."
"Then let's go."
Ling Fan wasted no more words and transformed into a streak of rainbow light, heading in the direction of leaving the Tianshan Domain.
Along the way, out of concern for Xueyi's safety, Ling Fan barely stopped.
While inquiring about Xueyi's whereabouts, he soon entered the Dongqing Domain, which was adjacent to the Tianshan Domain.
Then, following the clues, he tracked her to the even more distant Donglin Domain.
This journey.
Took over a month.
During this period, Wei Bin played a significant role, it must be said.
Although this fellow was quite silly, his abilities were strong and he was very resourceful. It was mostly him who gathered intelligence and clues, helping Ling Fan a lot.
Finally, the trail.
Broke off in the Donglin Domain!
According to multiple sources, half a month ago, an extremely beautiful female expert engaged in a battle with over ten pursuing Martial Venerable powerhouses here. She managed to retreat unharmed, while the pursuing Martial Venerables suffered heavy losses, with most either dead or injured.
Upon hearing this news, Ling Fan's anxious heart finally relaxed.
...
Donglin Domain.
In a moderately sized martial city beside the Xuanyue Sea.
A burly man with a face full of flesh was in a brothel, holding a sexy and hot beauty while drinking and eating meat heartily.
There were also a group of beauties beside him, diligently flattering the man.
Some were giving massages, while others were feeding him fruit.
This burly man was a late-stage Core Formation realm expert!
Although late-stage Core Formation was not considered a top-tier expert in a powerful domain like Donglin Domain, in a small city like this, he was a figure who could cover the sky with one hand.
Just as the man was comfortably enjoying the service of these beauties.
Suddenly.
With a creak.
The door was pushed open.
A young man with gray hair, a seemingly cynical young master, and a large, shiny silver toad appeared in the sight of these beauties and the burly man.
Seeing this strange combination, the brothel madam's face immediately soured, and she scolded, "We've already said that our restaurant is not accepting other guests today. Where did you two little punks and this ugly toad crawl out from? Hurry up and get lost! If you disturb this lord's mood, you won't even know how you died. This person is a Martial Venerable powerhouse, like a divine dragon from the heavens, how can you offend him!"
The other beauties also began to accuse them.
But the gray-haired young man's expression remained unchanged, his icy gaze fixed on the burly man.
A bone-chilling killing intent enveloped him.
This young man was Ling Fan.
The burly man frowned.
"Who are you people? I'm in a bad mood today. Kneel down and kowtow, then get out, and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, I'll turn you into ashes."
The gray-haired young man seemed to not hear the man's warning.
He walked forward step by step.
"Heh, this kid really doesn't know his place. How can he provoke a Martial Venerable powerhouse?"
"A hothead is just a hothead, lacking beatings and education."
"Who is this guy anyway? Could he be the lover of some top courtesan, coming to fight over jealousy? Does anyone know him?"
"He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth; a Martial Venerable can crush him with a single finger!"
The beauties giggled and chattered.
"Seeking death!"
The burly man's expression also turned cold.
He grabbed out with his palm, and terrifying spiritual energy surged forth. The beauties were immediately frightened into screaming, deeply shocked by the man's powerful and unmatched strength.
Just as the beauties thought Ling Fan would die on the spot.
This large hand, formed by powerful spiritual energy, struck Ling Fan. It was shattered by an invisible barrier. Ling Fan took a step forward, boom!
The entire brothel trembled violently.
The burly man was kicked by Ling Fan, crashing through the floorboards and falling straight to the lowest level. Half of his body was embedded in the ground, covered in blood, his life or death unknown!
On the other side.
The beautiful women were already stunned into silence.
Each of them had their cherry-like mouths agape, unable to speak a word.
That was the Martial Venerable powerhouse they regarded as a god!
How could he be so easily crushed by a hothead who appeared out of nowhere?
Ling Fan casually reached out again, and the burly man, like a dead dog, was grabbed by Ling Fan from a distance.
He managed to open his eyes, revealing endless terror, trembling like a sieve.
"Who... who exactly are you! Why did you attack me! I'm new here, I didn't provoke you at all!"
"The person you were chasing is my wife."
Ling Fan said coldly.
The burly man's eyes widened immediately.
"You... you're Lan Xueyi's husband! How is that possible? Wasn't it said that Lan Xueyi's husband had a similar strength to Martial Venerable Xie Shu? How can you be so powerful!"
"Too much nonsense, I'll ask you, where is my wife."
Ling Fan shouted coldly.
"I don't know! I really don't know! More than half a month ago, more than ten of us Martial Venerables tried to kill her, but she killed seven of us and seriously injured two. I was the luckiest because I retreated in time and only suffered minor injuries. But I really don't know where Lan Xueyi went. Her strength grew too fast, and I can no longer pursue her!"
The burly man quickly explained.
Ling Fan remained silent.
With a casual slash, a strand of Myriad Transformation spiritual energy transformed into an incredibly sharp blade, slicing the burly man in half. He casually grabbed a Nascent Soul into his hand.
The burly man's dying scream directly terrified all the beauties and the madam.
Only after Ling Fan, Wei Bin, and the toad left.
Did the tensed bodies of these beauties suddenly relax. Each of their backs was already soaked with cold sweat.
"What is the background of that young man! He killed a late-stage Core Formation expert as if he were slaughtering chickens and sheep... He is so powerful! Even the strongest geniuses in our Donglin Domain are probably only like this..."
"I wonder how this handsome gray-haired guy compares to the Young Island Master of Xuanyue Island!"
"That must be the Young Island Master of Xuanyue Island who is stronger! I heard that person's strength is top-tier among the younger generation, and even when compared to the major top powers in Donglin Domain, he is not inferior. How could he be inferior to this guy who appeared out of nowhere."
