Chapter 720: Chapter 720

The scruffy old man began to speak again; his eyes slowly scanned over Lin Fan and the Gaitian Alliance Leader, then continued: "Actually, the rest of the people present also have a chance to live, only needing..."

At this point, the scruffy old man deliberately paused.

And everyone present could hardly restrain themselves; they all wanted to know what the scruffy old man was going to say next.

After a long wait, feeling he had sufficiently whetted everyone's appetite, the scruffy old man finally continued: "Only needing one of you two to step forward and leave with me for Body Seizing. Then, the others can leave safely. However, if neither of you is willing to step forward, then I'm sorry, I will have no choice but to kill everyone present."

With these words, the scruffy old man gave everyone present a glimmer of hope.

This hope was indeed contingent on Lin Fan and the Gaitian Alliance Leader.

As long as one of the two was willing to step forward, everyone present would be safe.

Would either of the two voluntarily step forward?

Would you step forward if you were in their place?

Because stepping forward voluntarily would mean being subjected to Body Seizing by the scruffy old man, equating to a one hundred percent chance of death.

However, if they don't step forward, there is at least a slim chance to continue living.

So, everyone knew that while the scruffy old man gave them a chance, it was essentially a hopeless opportunity.

Everyone understood clearly that unless Lin Fan and the Gaitian Alliance Leader were fools, they simply wouldn't come forward voluntarily. Deep down, they hoped one of them would, but they also knew that this was a vain and impossible hope.

"How about it? Neither of you is willing to step forward?"

The scruffy old man sneered, "Let me repeat, if neither of you steps forward voluntarily, then all those present will be killed by me. Do you really have no intention of saving them?"

Lin Fan and the Gaitian Alliance Leader remained silent; naturally, neither of them would step forward.

"Good!" The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝

The scruffy old man continued, "Time is limited. I will count to three, and if you don't come forward by then, I'll have no choice but to start a massacre!"

The scruffy old man immediately began counting!

As the last number was uttered, everyone's hearts filled with tension and despair. They knew that the scruffy old man was about to commence his slaughter, the ground would soon be awash with blood, and all present would meet a violent end. At this moment comes the regret for coming to this place.

"Since no one really is willing to step forward, then all of you present..." the scruffy old man's voice suddenly turned ice-cold.

"Go die, a sacrifice to Sovereign Mountain!"

The scruffy old man was about to make his move.

Instantaneously, everyone present became even more tense.

They felt that the Grim Reaper had completely enveloped them.

But just then, a voice rang out.

Everyone turned their eyes to the source and saw that it was Lin Fan who spoke.

Seeing that Lin Fan chose this moment to speak, they were somewhat surprised, with thoughts emerging in their hearts: "Could it be that Lin Fan is going to step forward voluntarily?"

But soon they dismissed the thought.

Because no matter what, it seemed impossible for Lin Fan to come forward voluntarily.

However, the scruffy old man, who was about to begin his killing spree, stopped and looked over at Lin Fan, asking: "You have something to say?"

Lin Fan nodded, "Yes, I have something to say."

The scruffy old man indifferently said: "Speak."

Lin Fan asked: "Do you keep your word?"

The scruffy old man laughed loudly, boasting: "When I, the Emperor, speak, it's as heavy as nine cauldrons; I naturally keep my word!"

Lin Fan then said: "Then let them go!"

The scruffy old man asked: "What do you mean?"

Lin Fan said: "As long as you let everyone present go, I will go with you for Body Seizing!"

The scruffy old man questioned: "Are you willing to sacrifice yourself? To save others?"

Lin Fan answered: "If the death of one can save so many, why wouldn't I be willing?"

"Right, you've got guts!"

The scruffy old man laughed heartily, "Rest assured, I swear on my Martial Path heart, once I successfully seize your body, I will release them."

The scruffy old man spoke and shortly afterward, a small door appeared amidst the energy swirling around Sovereign Mountain, which had seemed like one entity. The scruffy old man then said: "Come in; follow me, I'll take you to the place of Body Seizing."

Lin Fan walked forward very calmly, step by step.

Uncle Lin shouted out loud: "Lin Fan, you mustn't..."

Lin Fan stopped, looked back at Uncle Lin, and said: "Uncle Lin, I am grateful for your care during this time!"

With those words, Lin Fan turned his gaze towards the Gaitian Alliance Leader, scoffing: "You've ultimately lost the battle between us, because you can never beat me in magnanimity. You aim to seize the world, but sadly, you never consider the world; so, you are a loser!"

The Gaitian Alliance Leader's face twisted slightly, but he didn't speak. Yet, derision filled his heart: "The dead are the true losers, hmph, you think you're remarkable? After you die, the ultimate world will be mine!"

Lin Fan then entered the small door with a serene smile on his face.

"All aboard, let's go," the scruffy old man said to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan responded and hopped onto the chariot.

Then, the chariot made a U-turn and left along the way it had come.

And the small door that Lin Fan had entered quickly returned to normal, becoming inaccessible to the others.

People outside dumbly watched the chariot leave.

At this moment, their hearts grew complicated.

However, the Gaitian Alliance Leader was exceptionally happy. He thought smugly, "Serves Lin Fan right to die. From now on, no one in the Holy Soul Domain of this generation can contend with me, heh!"

At this time, someone said: "Run, leave this place immediately…"

Shortly after, many prepared to flee.

But soon, they discovered tragically that they couldn't escape; they were completely sealed in by a special energy, unable to break free.
