Chapter 466: Reunion with Ying Huanhuan, Ancestral Palace Gate!
"Lin Dong is back too," Lin Fan said with a warm smile to Lin Xiao and Liu Yan.
As Lin Fan descended, the space beside him rippled, and Lin Dong's figure appeared.
"Dong'er…"
When Liu Yan saw the familiar face of her son, her tears began to flow uncontrollably. Trembling, she reached out with both hands, gently caressing Lin Dong's face as if afraid that this was nothing more than a fleeting illusion before death.
"Mother… I'm home," Lin Dong smiled as he stood there, letting Liu Yan's still-cold hands rest against his cheeks. The blood bond between them stirred his heart.
After the emotional reunion, they caught up briefly, but both Lin Fan and Lin Dong only spoke of the good—leaving out the many dangers they had faced.
Soon, Mo Jingtian and others came forward, expressing their deep gratitude to Lin Fan and Lin Dong.
Not long after, Xiao Diao, Xiao Yan, and the others arrived with the army, stopping just outside the capital.
The remaining Yuan Gate experts, shocked by how easily Lin Fan had killed Zhao Kui, tried to flee while Lin Fan was still catching up with his family.
"It's Lin Fan from Dao Sect! He's back for revenge! Run!!"
They scattered in all directions in a panic.
"Leave none of Yuan Gate alive," Lin Fan said coldly to the Sky Dragon Demon Commander and the others.
"Yes!"
With that, they took off in hot pursuit.
BOOM! BOOM!
A wave of deafening explosions echoed in the sky.
In less than a quarter of an hour, every single one of the fleeing Yuan Gate experts had been eliminated.
Meanwhile, those from the surrounding dynasties who had participated in the siege were wiped out entirely by the 8,000-strong Tiger Devourer Army.
"They're so powerful!"
"Where did Lin Fan find so many terrifying experts?!"
"And that army… it's monstrous…"
Mo Jingtian, Lin Fan (senior), and other members of the Great Yan Dynasty were left wide-eyed and breathless.
Even Elder Gu Mo and the Dao Sect disciples stood in silent awe.
No one had imagined that in just three short years, Lin Fan would grow powerful enough to obliterate a Reincarnation Stage expert—and even bring back so many powerhouses and a terrifying army.
On the city walls, the once-hopeless defenders now erupted in thunderous cheers.
All eyes turned toward that one youthful figure.
From this day forward, the Great Yan Dynasty had its legend—and that legend's name was Lin Fan.
After the battle ended, Lin Fan and Lin Dong returned with the others to the Lin Clan estate.
Patriarch Lin Fan (senior) wanted to pass down his position to Lin Fan, but the latter refused. In the end, Lin Xiao became the new clan leader.
After spending some time with family, Lin Fan expressed his intention to leave—and Lin Dong said he would go with him.
"You're leaving again?" Liu Yan asked with tears in her eyes.
"Dao Sect raised both Fan'er and Dong'er," Lin Xiao said solemnly. "Now that Dao Sect is in danger, it is only right that they help. Besides, our Lin Clan has received much kindness from Dao Sect these past years. We owe them a debt we must repay."
…
The next day, Lin Fan left Golden Ape Demon Commander and 2,000 Tiger Devourer troops to guard the Great Yan Dynasty, while he and the others headed toward Dao Sect at full speed.
Since they were unfamiliar with the path, they took along a few Dao Sect disciples who had come to support the Great Yan Dynasty.
The journey was smooth. In just half a day, they reached the mountainous region surrounding Dao Sect.
At the border, Lin Fan raised a hand and had everyone stop.
"You all stay here. I'll go ahead alone, so there's no misunderstanding," he said as he looked at the protective formation surrounding Dao Sect.
Xiao Diao and the others had no objections.
With a flash, Lin Fan turned into a streak of light. A few minutes later, he arrived at the barrier. With a swirl of energy around his fingertip, he tore open a small gap and entered silently.
Despite the many Dao Sect disciples patrolling, Lin Fan's current strength made him undetectable to them.
Blending into the void, he prepared to head directly for the higher-ups.
Just then, a soft melody drifted through the air—a gentle, enchanting sound that made even him pause.
Following the music, Lin Fan looked into the distance.
There, on a lone pine that jutted out from the cliffside, sat a familiar figure. A guzheng lay in front of her. Her long ice-blue hair cascaded down like a frozen waterfall.
The figure was none other than Dao Sect's little princess—Ying Huanhuan.
As her music flowed through the sect, many Dao Sect disciples paused their cultivation, their eyes drawn in reverence and admiration to the figure on the cliff.
Over the past three years, her reputation had even surpassed that of Ying Xuanzi, as she had become the symbol of Dao Sect's resistance against Yuan Gate.
Twannng!
Suddenly, the sound of a broken string echoed across the valley.
The disciples below were startled. Then they saw her stand up abruptly on the pine tree.
She soared into the sky, scanning the area. Her face, once young and delicate, was now breathtakingly beautiful—but with a trace of icy sorrow.
And now, tears sparkled in her eyes.
The Dao Sect disciples looked on, stunned. Their normally aloof and serene Senior Sister was crying?
Lin Fan, watching from the void, knew she had sensed him.
With a shimmer, he revealed himself and appeared in the sky, standing not far from her.
"Lin Fan! You finally came back!" Ying Huanhuan said, her voice filled with both anger and relief.
"I'm back," Lin Fan said as he stepped forward and pulled her into an embrace. "You've suffered enough these three years… from now on, leave it to me."
Just then, the familiar voice of the system rang out in Lin Fan's mind.
[Ding! You touched Ying Huanhuan. Acquired: Ancestral Palace Gate!]
Ancestral Palace Gate?
The name alone made Lin Fan's heart tremble with surprise.
Whoosh whoosh!
At that moment, urgent sounds of movement filled the air—elders of Dao Sect appeared overhead, one after another, shocked by what they were witnessing…
