Chapter 155: People of the Mo Rock Dynasty—Get Out Here and Die!
Mo Rock City.
This city held considerable fame throughout the northwestern region of the Ancient Battlefield.
Its reputation stemmed entirely from its ruler—the Mo Rock Dynasty.
Within Mo Rock City resided numerous dynasties, most of them mid- to low-tier, though a few high-tier dynasties could also be found.
However, no matter where they came from, they all had to acknowledge the sole overlord of this city: the Mo Rock Dynasty.
At the very heart of the city stood a towering structure.
It was the tallest building in Mo Rock City, granting a commanding view of the entire cityscape.
Right now, in the hall atop the high tower, the elites of the Mo Rock Dynasty were gathered.
At the top, a man in white robes sat quietly on a stone throne, his expression dark.
This man was Shi Xuan, the second-in-command of the Mo Rock Dynasty.
The dynasty's most powerful figure, Shi Kun, had led a team to seize another Ancient Secret Key elsewhere, leaving Shi Xuan in charge of the city for the time being.
"Have you confirmed the information? Was Chen Mu truly killed?" Shi Xuan asked coldly, his voice low and oppressive as he gazed at the others below.
During the battle over the Ancient Secret Key in Thunder Rock Valley, Lin Fan had wiped out Chen Mu and the other four from the Mo Rock Dynasty.
Since that clash had been witnessed by many from other dynasties, news of it quickly spread back to Mo Rock City.
At first, the dynasty's people refused to believe it. But after half a month had passed with no sign of Chen Mu's group, they had no choice but to accept the truth.
Moreover, Shi Xuan had sent many to gather intel during this time, and all reports pointed to the same conclusion.
"According to what we've gathered, it's true. Reportedly, the one who killed Chen Mu and the others is named Lin Fan. He's from a low-tier dynasty called the Great Flame Dynasty," a member of the Mo Rock Dynasty reported carefully.
Upon hearing this, a faint smile curved the handsome face of Shi Xuan.
"A lowly dog from a low-tier dynasty dares challenge my Mo Rock Dynasty over an Ancient Secret Key and even dares to kill our people? Quite bold."
A thin man stepped forward from within the hall and spoke.
"Senior Brother Shi Xuan, allow me to lead the team and eliminate this Lin Fan! If we let him run free, how can the Mo Rock Dynasty maintain its dignity?"
The man's face was unremarkable, but his triangular pupils glinted like a venomous serpent's, radiating a chilling aura.
Seeing him step forward, Shi Xuan nodded slightly. "Very well. Junior Brother Lei She, you'll take a team and deal with him. Not only must you kill Lin Fan, but retrieve the Ancient Secret Key as well. No mistakes this time."
This Lei She, the man with serpent-like eyes, ranked third in the Mo Rock Dynasty.
He had once attempted to pass the Nirvana Tribulation. Though he had failed, his strength still surpassed most ordinary Nirvana stage experts.
Lei She grinned coldly. "Rest assured, Senior Brother Shi Xuan. I'll kill Lin Fan and retrieve the Secret Key."
The other Mo Rock Dynasty experts looked completely confident now that Lei She was stepping in—convinced that success was assured.
"People of the Mo Rock Dynasty—get out here and die!"
Suddenly, a thunderous voice echoed across the skies of Mo Rock City!
Everyone from the many dynasties present looked up in shock.
High in the sky hovered a fiery-red beast, radiating an aura comparable to a half-step Nirvana beast. Standing atop its back was a young man in green robes, around twenty years old, with a handsome and composed demeanor.
Without a doubt, this was none other than Lin Fan, who had come straight from the Thunder Rock Mountains.
"Which dynasty is he from? So bold!"
"He came alone to Mo Rock City and directly challenged the Mo Rock Dynasty to come out and die? That's insane!"
"I heard the ones the Mo Rock Dynasty sent to seize an Ancient Secret Key—Chen Mu and the others—were all killed by someone from a low-tier dynasty named Lin Fan. Could this be him?"
"If he already has the Secret Key, why didn't he hide? Why come here alone? Isn't that suicide?"
"If he dared show up, then clearly he's not afraid of the Mo Rock Dynasty. Maybe this time, they're the ones in trouble!"
…
The city was filled with people from all kinds of dynasties.
Although the Mo Rock Dynasty ruled the city, that didn't mean the others admired them—especially the high-tier dynasties, who normally had to bow their heads out of fear.
Now, seeing someone challenge the Mo Rock Dynasty and even humiliate them, many were more than happy to enjoy the show.
In the stone hall atop the high tower, Shi Xuan, Lei She, and the others instantly erupted in fury upon hearing the voice from outside.
"Follow me. Let's see who dares to cause trouble in my Mo Rock City!" Shi Xuan's face was gloomy, and his voice turned icy.
With that, he shot out from the stone hall, quickly appearing above the city.
Lei She and the other experts followed immediately.
In mere moments, Lin Fan and Little Flame were completely surrounded by the Mo Rock Dynasty's elite.
"Who are you to act so presumptuously in my Mo Rock City?" Shi Xuan asked coldly, eyes narrowed as he studied Lin Fan.
Lin Fan replied calmly, "Chen Mu, Li Pan, and the others were killed by me. I heard your dynasty's been looking for me, so I came."
"You're Lin Fan? You killed members of my Mo Rock Dynasty and still dared to show your face? You've got some nerve!" Shi Xuan's voice turned murderous.
"Enough talk. Let's fight outside the city so we don't hurt the innocent. Life or death will be your own responsibility," Lin Fan said flatly, then lightly patted Little Flame's back.
Little Flame understood instantly and transformed into a streak of red light, flying out of the city with Lin Fan.
[Ding! You patted Fire Python Tiger Little Flame and obtained: One Seven-Colored Soul Crystal! Note: Refining it will greatly enhance spiritual power!]
At the same time, the system's familiar voice rang out in Lin Fan's mind once more.
A Seven-Colored Soul Crystal?
Lin Fan was delighted. He had refined a Five-Colored Soul Crystal before, which had significantly boosted his spiritual strength. He was curious how much more powerful the Seven-Colored one would be.
"Trying to run now? Too late!"
Seeing Lin Fan flying out of the city, Shi Xuan shouted angrily and led the others in pursuit.
Inside Mo Rock City, people from all dynasties rushed to the city walls to watch the drama unfold.
Lin Fan, riding Little Flame, came to a stop just outside the city.
Shi Xuan, Lei She, and the rest of the Mo Rock Dynasty forces quickly surrounded him again.
"Seal the area! Don't let him escape!" Shi Xuan barked, waving his hand.
Immediately, the Mo Rock Dynasty's experts sprang into action without hesitation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Within moments, powerful beams of yuan power formed a glowing cage of energy around Lin Fan, locking him in from all sides.
