Lin Fan was a little disappointed. The Alliance dogs weren't fools. Not mentioning the 100 techniques, they weren't even willing to trust him for 10. That was really hurtful.
A few techniques didn't matter, but the key was whether or not there was trust between people.
The actions of the Alliance dogs had broken his heart.
Pa!
Lin Fan's sword slashed down, and with a single hand, he smashed Tie Long's head.
"I am asking you, do you want to die?"
Iron Dragon's heart suffered a huge blow and he was immersed in pain. Lin Fan's smack caused his brain to shake and he nearly had a concussion.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Fan.
He wanted to say that as an Alliance nine-star general, he wasn't afraid of death and that dying for the Alliance was an honor.
But if he said those words now, then what else could he be?
But he was a nine-star general and if he said something different, then he would lose all his face.
Lin Fan saw that Iron Dragon didn't reply and said impatiently, "I am asking you, do you want to live or do you want to die?"
Iron Dragon kept silent for a moment and said, "Everyone has the right to live. If you can live but choose to die, then you won't be fit to be a human in your next life. That is a disregard for life and you have to pay a price."
Pa!
Lin Fan smacked Iron Dragon's head in rage, "Stop saying all this nonsense. Just tell me whether or not you want to die. What is the point of saying so much nonsense?"
Iron Dragon was a little angry. Although they were enemies, he was old enough to be his grandfather. Why did he treat him like that? Did he respect the old and love the young?
"I want to live."
As the saying went, one's heart chased after the source of the Dao and what one thought was the truth.
Iron Dragon could tell anyone that he wasn't someone who was afraid of death.
He just followed the choice in his heart.
At that moment.
Gou 'zi also had a constructive development.
Those Alliance members didn't dare to hide anything and directly told him about the equipment. At the same time, they told him where it was buried.
Originally, they still had some hope.
But the Alliance Headquarters even gave up on Iron Dragon, much less them.
Iron Dragon looked at those people and had many things he wanted to say. But at that moment, he didn't know what to say.
To say that they betrayed the Alliance Headquarters wasn't true. After all, the Alliance Headquarters had abandoned them.
Gou 'zi left the room to dig those things.
Alliance Headquarters. Chi Xiao hesitated. He turned off the video to show that the Alliance Headquarters wouldn't compromise.
But now, it was about time.
Chi Xiao was prepared to have a good talk with Lin Fan. Some things needed to be negotiated.
The fact that the other party needed the Grand Marshal's secret manual meant that it was of great use to him. Thus, Zhang Xuan was confident that he would be able to convince the other party.
Crimson Sky continued to play.
"Outside the service area."
“???”
Chi Xiao's head was full of fog and he was very confused. Everything was fine just now, how did it become like this now?
"General, Valley City's signal has disappeared." The Alliance member reported.
Now that the signal had disappeared, there was only one possibility. The people in Valley City had told the other party where the signal equipment was hidden, and now it was destroyed by the other party.
"They actually betrayed the Alliance." Chi Xiao's face was dark and he was furious. He was very confident in the members of the Alliance and thought that no matter what kind of danger they faced, they would never betray the Alliance. But now it seemed like he was overthinking.
Xiao Hu said, "Actually, you can't blame them."
Cutting off the communication meant that the Alliance Headquarters had given up on them. To save their lives, wasn't that a normal thing?
"How can we not blame them? They are such cowards. If it was me, even if I was tortured, I wouldn't betray the Alliance." Chi Xiao said confidently.
Xiao Hu looked at how serious Chi Xiao was. For some reason, he was actually looking forward to how Chi Xiao would react when he faced such a thing in the future.
For some reason, he was really curious.
He shook his head and tossed such impractical thoughts to the back of his head.
"We have to report this to the Alliance Headquarters. Lin Wanyi's son has appeared in Valley City. This is really useful news. Maybe we can send experts in to investigate his whereabouts." Xiao Hu said.
"Eh."
Chi Xiao nodded and agreed with what Xiao Hu said. But the rage in his heart couldn't be quelled. Just thinking about Lin Fan's face made him furious.
Within the inn.
Lin Fan lifted Iron Dragon's chin. His posture was a little weird, but that wasn't important. He had to have a good talk with him.
He couldn't get any techniques from Chi Xiao, but he could get some from Iron Dragon.
After all, he was Dao Realm Stage Two.
No matter what, he did have some techniques, right?
Iron Dragon was filled with shame. Damn, he actually fell to this kid's hands.
"There are only two paths in front of you. One is to die or the other is to tell me the Dao Realm technique that you learned. I can let you live." Lin Fan said.
Iron Dragon looked at Lin Fan and hesitated for a long while. He didn't know whether or not he could believe his words.
But the current situation was really obvious.
No matter whether or not he believed it, the choice was right there. If he chose to die, he would definitely die. If he chose the second option, there was a 50% chance that he wouldn't die.
Should he gamble?
Any normal person would, right?
"Lin Fan, you have such cultivation at such a young age. In the future, you will definitely be a dragon amongst humans. This world won't be able to restrict you. Our Alliance might just be a form of training for you."
"I just came out from the Alliance and have never killed a native, no, I have killed your people."
"So, I choose the second option."
Iron Dragon's expression was solemn like he had made a huge decision. He really didn't want to die and had some hope. But he really didn't dare to confirm whether or not Lin Fan would keep his words or if he was just lying to him.
Lin Fan was satisfied with Iron Dragon's choice, "There is no need to write the technique, just dictate it."
What he lacked was a Dao Realm technique. Although other techniques were fine, for his current cultivation, it was better to raise the Dao Realm.
The merging function was decent.
He could merge two techniques into one and at the same time, he could raise the level of the technique.
But some techniques couldn't be raised, such as Dao Realm or Domain Realm. That was a huge headache.
Maybe it was because he lacked something.
Iron Dragon had cultivated a total of two Dao Realm techniques. This was what he got from the Alliance Headquarters when he became a nine-star general.
Lin Fan realized that the techniques that the Alliance cultivated weren't much different from theirs.
He was thinking about whether or not the Martial Path was connected or whether or not the Alliance's relationship with them wasn't like that at the start of the Martial Path.
Of course.
There was no way to investigate this, and no one knew where martial arts began. It was as if it had existed since birth.
Lin Fan was satisfied. Not bad, he got two more Dao Realm techniques for free. It was just a waste that the negotiations with the Alliance didn't succeed.
If the negotiations were successful, then the technique matter could be solved.
"Can you let us leave now?" Iron Dragon asked.
Lin Fan squinted his eyes and looked at Iron Dragon and the surrounding Alliance members. He was thinking about whether or not he should let them go.
The existence of the Alliance brought them many problems. Moreover, many fearless experts who fought against the Alliance died in their hands.
Deep in his heart, he didn't want to.
But since he promised them, if he didn't fulfill it, then that would be a little despicable.
As a young master of a rich family, Lin Fan's character was definitely not a problem.
"Okay, I will let all of you go, but there is something I have to do."
The moment he said this.
The Dao patterns that Lin Fan had cultivated floated out and surged into the other party's body, crushing the Iron Dragon Dao patterns violently and turning him into a cripple.
"You …"
Iron Dragon raised his head and looked at Lin Fan in disbelief. At the same time, he was furious. If that was the case, then wouldn't he become a useless person?
Lin Fan glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't feel unhappy. My original intention was to kill you, but since I've promised you, I won't go back on my words. I'm only crippling your cultivation so that you won't continue to harm others."
Dao Realm experts were really destructive.
If they really wanted to attack, they could wipe out a city in the blink of an eye.
"We are weak, so there is no need for that, right?" Those Alliance members said.
They weren't strong and felt like it was the same whether they were trash or not.
"I also promised that as long as you tell me where the equipment is, I will let you live, so I will let you go." Lin Fan said and then nodded towards Gou 'zi.
Gou 'zi understood and attacked right away to kill all of them.
When Iron Dragon saw this, he exclaimed, "Didn't you say that you would let them go?"
Lin Fan said, "Gou 'zi, what are you doing?"
"Young Master, I didn't notice." Gou 'zi said innocently.
Lin Fan sighed, "Forget it, so be it. After all, the dead can't be revived, so I can't let you pay with your life."
Iron Dragon opened his mouth and actually didn't know how to reply. But then, his body seemed to have lost all its strength and he felt really powerless. His arms hung by his side. He understood that they were like fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. Even if they fought back, it would just be a silent shout.
To Lin Fan, Iron Dragon could live, but the technicians had to die. Without strength, Iron Dragon would be useless. But even if the technicians lost their strength, their skills were still there and they could still work for the Alliance Headquarters.
Being merciful and leaving enemies alive wasn't his style.
"Gou 'zi, pack up and let's go." Lin Fan pushed open the door and left the inn. Gou' zi kept the Alliance items and followed behind.
In the end, Lin Fan was still terrified.
If their location was exposed and the Alliance Headquarters really came, then it would be a huge problem. So, it was best if they fled early.
Pata!
Iron Dragon sat on the ground powerlessly. He had never felt such a feeling before but he knew that he was already useless. Even if he returned to the Alliance, he wouldn't be welcomed and no one would care about him.
Today, to Iron Dragon, what he needed to worry about wasn't how to return to the Alliance.
What he needed to worry about was how to compensate for the broken wall of the inn.
