Xuan Ye and Li Mo Bing exchanged words, appearing arrogant and confident they had Ling Fan cornered.
Behind Ling Fan, Han Hai, Lu Bei Nian, and a crowd of rogue cultivators exchanged peculiar glances. They looked at Xuan Ye and Li Mo Bing with the pity reserved for the intellectually challenged.
This gaze unsettled Xuan Ye and Li Mo Bing, leaving them bewildered. Weren't these rogue cultivators supposed to be humble and subservient, begging for cultivation spots? Yet, their eyes made Xuan Ye and Li Mo Bing feel like the vulnerable party. What was going on?
Furthermore, they only then realized the sheer number of rogue cultivators following Ling Fan. A vast throng, it seemed as if every rogue cultivator without a cultivation spot on Guansheng Cliff had followed him.
"Idiot!"
The toad gave Xuan Ye and Li Mo Bing the middle finger.
This enraged Xuan Ye and Li Mo Bing, their faces darkening.
"Hmph, stubborn fools! Just watch us cultivate, and envy yourselves to death," Xuan Ye spat hatefully.
"Nyah nyah nyah!"
The toad stuck out its tongue and made a face.
"We told you to leave, why are you still here making noise? Are you looking for death!"
At this moment, a powerful expert from the Crimson Flame Mansion beneath the Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet bellowed.
Xuan Ye and Li Mo Bing immediately wore smug smiles, looking on as if enjoying a show.
Ling Fan's expression remained calm. Enduring the murderous gazes of the Crimson Flame Mansion experts, he walked step by step towards the Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet.
All the rogue cultivators looked on with anticipation, their eyes fixed on Ling Fan.
"What is he doing?"
At this moment, not only Xuan Ye and Li Mo Bing were stunned, but even the experts from the Crimson Flame Mansion were taken aback.
"He's not planning to just stand there and comprehend the Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet, is he?"
"Don't be ridiculous, that's absolutely impossible! The Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet contains the most powerful martial law in the first tier of the monument forest, almost comparable to the seven top Golden Core laws in the second tier. If he can comprehend it so easily, I'll cut off my head and use it as his chamber pot!"
A group of Crimson Flame Mansion experts scoffed dismissively.
However, not long after they spoke, while the sneers were still on their faces, their expressions froze.
Suddenly, an aura of law emanated from Ling Fan. The experts and geniuses of the Crimson Flame Mansion were all too familiar with this law. It was the Dragon Elephant Divine Power Law, inherited from the Dragon Elephant Divine Power Stone Tablet!
"How is this possible!"
They cried out in shock.
This shock quickly spread to Xuan Ye and Li Mo Bing.
The two stared with wide eyes, their faces as if they had seen a ghost!
"Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose in coming to the Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet?"
At the forefront of the Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet, a powerful young genius in Crimson Flame Mansion attire furrowed his brow deeply. He turned to Ling Fan and questioned him with a grave expression.
"Are you blind? Of course, I'm here to cultivate," Ling Fan replied with a faint, cold smile, glancing at the man.
"Presumptuous! This is our Crimson Flame Mansion's current senior disciple, a renowned top prodigy in the Eastern Lin Domain. He is no less inferior to the princes of the Eastern Lin Dynasty, that young lord of the Three Kings' Court, or the current Walking Saint of the Heavenly Dragon Academy. What are you, a mere nobody, to dare speak so arrogantly before our senior disciple!"
"You wretch, why don't you quickly kneel and apologize! Otherwise, we'll ensure you have no place to die!"
A group of Crimson Flame Mansion disciples erupted in furious reprimands.
"Noisy." Ling Fan snorted coldly. His gaze intensified, and a terrifying Dragon Elephant Law descended, engulfing them. The Crimson Flame Mansion disciples' expressions changed drastically. They resisted with all their might, but it was futile. All of them were pressed to the ground, their faces flat against the earth, filled with extreme humiliation and terror.
The Crimson Flame Mansion senior disciple at the front also changed his expression drastically. Having comprehended the Dragon Elephant Law most deeply, he could still resist and was not crushed.
However, even so, cold sweat poured down his forehead as he stared intently at Ling Fan.
"My lord, please stop! The Crimson Flame Mansion has offended you greatly. I apologize to you. Please quickly withdraw your divine might and do not take offense at their actions!"
Despite his immense unwillingness, the Crimson Flame Mansion senior disciple could only beg for mercy.
From that brief exertion, he had already realized the gap between himself and Ling Fan. Ling Fan's control over the Dragon Elephant Law far surpassed his own. This person's martial comprehension was terrifying! In just this short time, he had been left behind. If he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, he would never have believed that such a heaven-defying person existed in the world.
"Scram. You've occupied this stone tablet for long enough. It's time to yield," Ling Fan stated calmly.
The Crimson Flame Mansion senior disciple's expression shifted repeatedly. To make him give up the cultivation spot at the Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet was like cutting his own heart. His face was a mixture of emotions as he spoke gravely, "Does Your Excellency truly intend to be enemies with the Crimson Flame Mansion until death? Do not forget, although your comprehension is monstrous, your strength is ultimately low. With your Giant Spirit Realm cultivation, even with these ragtag followers, how can you be a match for our Crimson Flame Mansion!"
"Yes, on this Guansheng Cliff, your comprehension is invincible, and no one can do anything to you. But you must eventually descend Guansheng Cliff. At that time, can you still be so arrogant! I advise you, leave some room for maneuver, and we can meet again in the future. Do not narrow your own path!" the Crimson Flame Mansion senior disciple threatened.
Ling Fan's gaze was filled with amusement as he let out a cold laugh. Without a word, he willed it, and a terrifying wave of law power erupted from the uniquely shaped Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet. Heavy Dragon Elephant phantoms filled the sky, heavenly dragons coiled, divine elephants strode through the air, all suppressing downwards. Instantly, all the people from the Crimson Flame Mansion were sent flying.
*Pfft!*
A group of Crimson Flame Mansion members spat blood, falling in disarray outside the stone tablet.
"You have guts! You wait for me! You obstructed my cultivation, this is an irreconcilable hatred!" the Crimson Flame Mansion senior disciple gritted his teeth, his eyes splitting open.
Ling Fan remained indifferent. He slowly walked to the Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet and began to cultivate.
The toad naturally followed closely behind. Han Hai, Lu Bei Nian, and the other rogue cultivators also followed suit. Even more rogue cultivators waited outside the stone tablet due to the lack of cultivation spots.
On the Xuan Yue Island side, everyone's faces were filled with horror and extreme shock. Xuan Ye and Li Mo Bing were too stunned to speak, their eyes wide, their hands trembling. That was the Crimson Flame Mansion! Even after annexing Giant Whale City, their Xuan Yue Island's strength had greatly increased, but they knew deeply that their Xuan Yue Island and the Crimson Flame Mansion were not on the same level. And that Crimson Flame Mansion senior disciple, who had entered the late stage of the Golden Core realm at such a young age, was hailed as the most promising super prodigy of the Crimson Flame Mansion's current generation to enter the Eastern Lin Domain's Martial Lord Ranking. His martial comprehension was naturally self-explanatory.
