Invincible starts with predatory terms

Yang Fan's eyes revealed satisfaction, "Changsheng, Ling'er, I'm very relieved to leave this matter to you."

Immediately, he turned around and added loudly, "But remember, if there's any mishap, send me a message immediately!"

Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er responded in unison: "Don't worry, Master!"

With everything prepared, Yang Fan didn't linger any longer. With a leap, his figure was like a shooting star, instantly disappearing into the horizon.

The conflict between the Spirit Sect and the demonic entities attracted his attention; perhaps there, there were even more powers and opportunities he hadn't yet touched.

At the mountainside, a patch of forest was stirred by the aura of battle.

As Yang Fan approached, he immediately felt the restless spiritual energy in the air. He secretly circulated his magical power, quietly approaching.

Hidden behind the bushes were two evenly matched forces, entangled in a stalemate. One was a terrifying figure clad in black robes, and the other was a young man in white, his brow revealing determination.

This young man looked exceptionally familiar to Yang Fan, but he couldn't recall where he had seen him.

"You shouldn't interfere in this matter!"

The black-robed man's voice was hoarse, like metal scraping against metal, as vile spiritual energy rolled out from his hands.

"Fate dictates it, how can I stand idly by?"

The young man responded, a sword shadow, scorching like fire, already condensed in his hand.

Yang Fan narrowed his eyes and quietly activated the Art of Mind Resonance. After a moment, his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

He clearly sensed the young man's resoluteness and the black-robed man's deeply hidden conspiracy.

Just then, the black-robed man's attack approached again, and although the young man tried his best to resist, he seemed slightly strained.

Yang Fan knew this was a rare opportunity, and immediately turned his body into nothingness, instantly approaching the battlefield. "It seems I must intervene today."

Before Yang Fan could finish his sentence, spiritual energy surged out like a river bursting its banks. He raised his arm to form a sword shadow, interweaving with the young man's sword shadow, instantly forcing the black-robed man back.

The young man looked at Yang Fan in astonishment, then revealed a grateful expression,

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your assistance!"

Yang Fan smiled slightly, "This battle is exciting, but unfortunately, it lacks fairness. My addition makes it fair."

The black-robed man was shocked, but he had no choice but to temporarily cease his attacks. He stared coldly for a moment, then his figure swayed, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.

The two men smiled at each other, each admiring the other. At the same time, Yang Fan secretly pondered that Chu Xuan might be a good ally.

Afterward, the two sat down in the forest to rest. Chu Xuan gazed into the distance, his words revealing a hint of worry, "This place is not suitable for a long stay. Thank you, Brother Yang, for your help, but we cannot take these remnants of the Spirit Sect lightly."

Yang Fan nodded, his expression solemn, "The power of the Spirit Sect should not be underestimated. We must join forces to uncover the truth."

Chu Xuan nodded in agreement, his eyes revealing determination and trust, "Brother Yang, although I don't know what your purpose is, I'm willing to join hands with you to explore the truth."

The two men made an agreement to embark together on the path to expose the Spirit Sect's conspiracy.

And at the moment the two exchanged words, Yang Fan's system vibrated slightly again. He vaguely sensed new power surging within him once more.

Yang Fan and Chu Xuan slowly moved forward along the small path in the dense forest, the air filled with the damp scent of soil.

Fallen leaves quietly cracked under their feet, making a soft rustling sound.

Although the two didn't say it explicitly, they were both alert, the matter of the Spirit Sect looming over them like a cloud.

"Brother Chu, this dense forest... do you feel anything strange?"

Yang Fan slightly slowed his pace, slightly tilted his ear, and gazed at a thick clump of bushes in front of him.

Chu Xuan also stopped, his brow furrowed slightly, "It is indeed a bit strange. I've also noticed several unknown auras following us for some time now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Fan suddenly flashed, his fingers forming a sword, directly throwing a spiritual force towards a spot in the forest. The bushes immediately swayed, and several figures appeared. Their expressions were flustered, and seeing their tracks exposed, they didn't bother to hide anymore and rushed out directly.

"Haha, it seems we can catch a big fish today!"

One of them was burly, with a ferocious face, wielding a giant axe, his steps heavy and fierce.

Several followers beside him also revealed their weapons, showing ill intentions.

Yang Fan smiled calmly, "Greetings, benefactors, it seems you've come specifically to find me?

But if you're going to rob, you need to have some skills."

The bandit leader snorted coldly: "Enough nonsense, hand over your valuables obediently, or don't blame us for being impolite!

Brothers, attack!"

Before the words were finished, several bandits moved like the wind, waving the weapons in their hands, directly approaching Yang Fan and Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan lightly stepped forward, intending to attack, but was stopped by Yang Fan raising his hand.

"Leave it to me." Yang Fan's tone was calm, but his brow revealed an inviolable aura.

He lightly tapped his feet, his figure shuttling through the bandits like a ghost, and almost instantly, he had circled behind the bandits. In an instant, Yang Fan gathered spiritual energy in both hands and pushed forward fiercely. The powerful spiritual energy surged like a tidal wave, directly shocking a bandit back several steps, screaming loudly as he flew backward, only to hear a "crack" sound, his bones already broken.

Seeing this, the remaining people's faces instantly turned pale, but they were still unconvinced, exchanging glances and launching another offensive.

Yang Fan, however, didn't panic, directly using spiritual energy to form a shield to block all attacks, and then pointed out with a single finger, hitting another bandit's waist, who immediately fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

"What Chu Qi taught is nothing more than this." Yang Fan said lightly, his gaze sweeping over all the bandits like a cold blade.

One of the bandits was stunned and couldn't help but blurt out,

"You... you know Chu Qi?"

Yang Fan smiled slightly, approaching step by step, "It seems there's some connection between us. Why not tell me frankly, and perhaps I can spare your life."

The bandit hesitated for a moment, after all, Yang Fan's strength made him feel fearful. Finally, driven by fear and the instinct for survival, he relented, "Chu Qi... we are just acting on orders, Chu Qi is the real mastermind."

Yang Fan nodded, but didn't say anything more, watching the remaining people flee in a panic, slowly turning around, "It seems things are much more complicated than we thought."

Chu Xuan walked forward and patted him on the shoulder, "I see, Chu Qi may not be the last piece of the puzzle. Brother Yang, what do you think?"

Yang Fan pondered for a moment, nodding his head, "Chu Qi is just a pawn, and behind all of this, perhaps there is an even greater conspiracy waiting for us to uncover."

Under the gloomy sky, winds surged and clouds roiled.

Yang Fan stood at the center of the rune formation, calmly observing his surroundings.

Spiritual energy fluctuations were like invisible hands, stirring the surrounding air until it became increasingly turbid.

He knew that this was the result of Chu Xuan activating the formation once more.

However, this pressure not only didn't fluster him, but instead stimulated the fighting spirit in his heart. Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er stood to his left and right. Although both of them felt the impact of the spiritual energy fluctuations on their cultivation state, their eyes were equally filled with determination and fearlessness.

Li Changsheng took a deep breath and said firmly: "Master, although the spiritual energy fluctuations are strong, they will not shake our faith."

His words were like a reassurance, making the hearts of the three even more united. Chu Yu walked over slowly, frowning, his tone carrying incomprehension and concern: "Young Yang, where exactly did this strong spiritual energy fluctuation come from? Why is the formation suddenly so violent?"

Yang Fan smiled slightly, but his eyes revealed depth: "Elder Chu, what's hidden behind this isn't just Chu Xuan's intention, perhaps there are also those unknown secrets of the Jiang family."
