Lin Fan could not bear to watch this any longer. To think that such a simple mission would drag on to such an extent.
Even if he had not discovered the Supreme Being's Token Shard, he would still have helped out. After all, this was just too much to bear.
To think that an old man who was old enough to be someone's grandfather would be thinking of robbing the cradle. This was truly something that left everyone speechless.
And now that he realized that Princess Long Yuan had the Supreme Being's Token Shard on her, Lin Fan did not recommend a trade.
The moment Lin Fan spoke, everyone turned their gazes towards Lin Fan.
It was the same for Princess Long Yuan. However, when she caught sight of Lin Fan, she let out a look of disappointment.
"HAHA! Is this lad stupid or something?"
"Lad, don't overestimate yourself. This beast stampede isn't simple!"
"I think this lad is just like old bro. Even if he knows that he's going to die, he still wants to get the beauty."
"Old bro, what do you think we should do now? There's only one Princess Long Yuan. Don't tell me you guys can split her equally? "
...
The old man was sizing Lin Fan up as well. Even with his greater celestial lower level strength, he couldn't sense the other party's aura at all. As for whether or not the other party was too strong for him to be able to tell, the old man didn't think that was possible.
To the old man, strength was something that had to be accumulated over time. Even those geniuses of the sects could not possibly be stronger than him at such a young age.
"Lad, don't even think about it. You can't get the Princess Long Yuan just because you're not afraid of death. Your tiny arms and legs aren't even enough to fill the gaps between the beast's teeth." The old man laughed, "No matter what, I'm still a greater celestial lower level. You can't even compare to me."
Lin Fan did not bother with these words. He pointed at the token shard, "Hand that thing over to me. Take it as the reward for this mission. I can guarantee that not a single soldier of the Long Yuan dynasty will be harmed."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd exploded into an uproar.
"Holy f * ck! I, Great Sword King Wu, have roamed the pugilistic world for 40 years, and I've never seen anyone more confident than me!"
"Old Bro has met his match this time around. The words of this lad are like a slap to the face."
"Damn it, I, Spear Zhao Xiaoliu, have been using the spear for twenty years, and I've never met anyone who's better at bragging than me. But today, I've met one."
"If those sects heard this, I wonder if they would spit out a mouthful of blood. They don't even dare to say that they won't harm a single soldier. But now, someone actually dares to say such big words. I'm truly impressed."
"Old Bro, you've met your match! This man's bragging skills are almost at the Greater celestial full cultivation state! Old Bro can only sigh in defeat!"
...
At this moment, the inn was bustling with noise and excitement. Everyone was laughing uproariously at Lin Fan's words. They had never seen anyone so confident before.
Not a single soldier was harmed? Was this a f * cking joke?
"Princess Long Yuan, what do you think of my terms? I'll help you through this ordeal without harming a single soldier. All I ask for is that thing on your waist." Lin Fan asked.
Princess Long Yuan looked at the black object on her waist and frowned. She did not understand what the other party was trying to do.
This was an item from the royal treasury, and it had existed for a very long time. Back then, when he had entered the royal treasury, he had found it quite special, and the patterns on it were quite novel, so he had taken it and tied it to his waist. He had never thought that someone would want it now.
But to Princess Long Yuan, she would rather believe that old man than Lin Fan.
After all, her age was right there.
Even though a greater celestial lower level being might not be able to protect the Imperial City, there was still a sliver of hope.
As for Lin Fan, Princess Long Yuan had no hope at all.
Just then, the old man spoke up, "Princess Long Yuan, bring this lad along. I've got to see what he's got to brag about. I don't want you either. I'll do my best. If I can't protect the Imperial City, I'll take care of my own life. But if I can, you just have to give me the title of Duke."
"Alright." Princess Long Yuan nodded her head.
The old man then looked at Lin Fan, "Lad, don't piss your pants when the time comes."
Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, feeling that his luck was pretty good. It didn't take him much effort at all. All he had to do was help out a little, and he was able to pick up yet another Supreme Being's Token Shard.
"Let's go … head to the Imperial City right now." The old man waved his hand. When he passed by Lin Fan, he snorted.
Towards someone who was bragging like this, he would definitely expose him.
Some of the vagrant martial artists followed behind. Naturally, they would not head over to defend the city. Instead, they would hide far away and observe the situation.
If they were to wait till the Long Yuan dynasty was breached by the beast stampede, they might be able to scavenge for some treasures.
Princess Long Yuan was out of ideas as well. She had tried everything she could, but no one dared to come forth to defend against the beast stampede.
The sects avoided them entirely. Some of the mercenaries of the Long Yuan dynasty had already left in order to preserve their lives.
As for those who stayed behind, their strength was limited, and they could not do much.
At this moment, some of the wandering martial artists had gathered around Lin Fan and were busy asking questions.
"Lad, where are you from? You're bragging so much that even we can't compare!"
"It's not too late for you to regret it now. When the beast stampede arrives, you won't be able to run even if you want to!"
...
Looking at these vagrant martial artists, Lin Fan chuckled and teased them, "Don't worry, a beast stampede is nothing. I'll turn it into dust with a single palm strike."
"Oh my god! Bro, you're so cool!" A martial artist carrying a metal rod raised his thumb.
Some of the other martial artists burst out laughing as well. They realized that this lad's words were way too funny.
But looking at his age and his words, they could not help but burst out laughing.
One day later, they arrived at the Long Yuan dynasty.
Naturally, Lin Fan was forgotten. On the other hand, old man Mo was welcomed warmly.
The emperor of the Long Yuan dynasty was a lesser celestial upper-level being. For an emperor of a dynasty, this was pretty decent.
When the princess told him about Lin Fan, the emperor did not take it to heart. However, he was still grateful towards Lin Fan.
At a time like this, anyone who could lend a helping hand was treated as a VIP.
Most of the residents of the Long Yuan Dynasty were hiding in underground secret chambers.
This was the only way for the Long Yuan dynasty to fight against the beast stampede and reduce the sacrifices of the citizens.
Next day …
On the city walls …
The soldiers of the dynasty stood on the city walls with weapons and shields in their hands, waiting for the arrival of the beast stampede.
Old man Mo's face was solemn as well. Even though he was a greater celestial lower level being, he had only formed a single energy grid line chain. If the beast stampede was too strong, there was nothing he could do about it.
The emperor and the princess were exceptionally nervous as well. They did not know how the beast stampede would turn out this time around.
At a hidden spot not too far away from the Long Yuan dynasty, a group of vagrant martial artists were discussing.
"What do you guys think the beast stampede will be this time around?"
"I think it'll be a greater celestial upper-level beast."
"I think it'll be a greater celestial full cultivation beast."
"Hais, Old Brother Mo is going to be in for a tragedy this time around."
"Old Brother Mo is already a greater celestial. If things go south, it'll be easy for him to escape."
"Let's not talk about Old Brother Mo anymore. This time around, we're here to see how that lad can defend against the beast stampede without losing a single soldier."
"I say, bro, you really believe in this bullsh * t?"
"Holy sh * t, old bro. Do you really think I'm stupid? If I were to believe it, I'd be an idiot! "
