The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

126. Chapter 125 Deadly Bait

Chapter 125: Deadly Bait

"If you don't want to die, then don't move."

The words were calm, but the actions of the two middle-aged men instantly stopped, without a trace of hesitation.

Throughout the journey, Lin Fan's incredible skills had already instilled in them an instinctive obedience.

"Master Lin, could there be some terrifying mechanism inside?" The two middle-aged men were not fools. Lin Fan's reminder at this moment meant that he had discovered something.

"That's right, this secret chamber that stores martial arts manuals seems to have no danger on the surface, just a storage point. But in reality, the mechanisms set up inside are even more dangerous than what we encountered on the way here."

Lin Fan slowly walked forward, glanced at the secret chamber where the manuals were placed, and said, "Even this place is actually a bait specially designed by the trap master to make those intruders who break in relax their guard in this temptation and lose their lives."

"Ah!" The two middle-aged men gasped in shock, feeling a chill.

As top-notch existences, their strength was unquestionable. Just now, they had forcefully driven away a large group of martial arts experts who were fighting for the manuals by working together. Even those who were slower in running had now all turned into corpses.

But even with such strength, they didn't think they could ignore the various terrifying mechanisms set up in this place.

If it was the kind of passage they encountered before, they were confident they could forcefully break through.

But if it was even more terrifying, they didn't have the confidence to get through.

If Lin Fan hadn't given the warning just now, could they still be standing here talking?

"Are there really mechanisms here? Are you deliberately scaring us because you finally found something and want to keep it for yourself?" The two sides had a grudge, and the young man subconsciously spoke at this moment, habitually looking for trouble.

But this time, before Lin Fan could react, the old master standing beside him slapped him hard in the face.

"Evil disciple! How could I have taught such a wicked person like you!"

The old master who made the move was naturally the opponent's master, the old man with the northern leg. At this moment, not only did he strike ruthlessly, but he also scolded angrily with a disappointed expression on his face.

"Master..."

The young man covered his face and at this moment, he was a bit stunned.

You see,

He had been adopted by the other party since he was young, and after he showed his talent in martial arts, he was recognized as the heir.

In these years, let alone being beaten, even scolding was rare.

He was even more spoiled than a biological child!

But ever since he met Lin Fan, not only had he been scolded repeatedly, but now he was even being physically punished.

Seeing the appearance of his heir, the disappointment in the eyes of the old man with the northern leg became even stronger.

He originally thought that the other party was just young and sometimes ignorant, lacking in understanding in their actions. As long as they grew up, they would gradually mature.

But now he realizes that the other party has fundamental problems.

Leaving aside Lin Fan's performance along the way, just based on his previous warnings, the other party should have been aware.

Not to mention making humble acquaintances, but at least they wouldn't easily provoke others, let alone accumulate conflicts repeatedly, so as not to provoke formidable enemies for themselves and the forces behind them.

But now?

Clearly knowing the other party's abilities, they still don't know how to restrain themselves, acting willfully. How can he not be disappointed?

"Go back and cultivate in seclusion, perhaps you are really not suitable for wandering outside."

The Northern Leg finally sighed, letting go of the words he wanted to say.

The two middle-aged men, who were also elders, shook their heads at this moment.

The other party's talent is indeed very strong, reaching the peak of the second-rate at such a young age, but this character is not conducive to achieving great things.

On the other hand, Tan Jingjing, the daughter, has performed exceptionally well along the way. Not only is she diligent and studious, but after learning about Lin Fan's extraordinary nature, she took the initiative to make friends. This is the quality a qualified successor should have.

Compared to Tan Jingjing's performance, the young man is indeed far behind.

It can even be said to be lousy.

After being slapped, the young man became completely obedient, covering his swollen face and bowing his head without saying a word.

Lin Fan didn't pursue anything with the other party, just glanced at him and continued to examine the secret room filled with books.

As for what he was thinking, only he himself knew.

"Master Lin, how should we break the mechanism here? Do you need me to take action?" The Northern Leg stepped forward and asked proactively. His disciple had offended Lin Fan repeatedly, and he wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate any resentment in Lin Fan's heart.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Indeed, there is a place where I need the help of the old master. Do you see the two stone lamps next to the bookshelf? Later, find a way to break them from a distance."

The Northern Leg followed Lin Fan's instructions and saw the two stone lamps next to the bookshelf. He then asked, "Is it enough to just break them? Are there any precautions or taboos?"

"Just break them directly," Lin Fan replied simply.

"Alright."

The Northern Leg nodded again to show his understanding. Then, he took a deep breath, raised his leg, and transformed it into a battle axe, striking the two stone lamps from a distance.

Originally, the other party's legs were somewhat thin, but with their movement, a dazzling golden light enveloped their legs.

The two ordinary-looking, even somewhat thin, old cold legs suddenly became sharp and full of vigor.

The Tan family's unique skill.

It's all in the legs. When the newly initiated members practice their skills, their legs emit a black iron-like luster.

As for the experts who have reached advanced levels of cultivation, like the two middle-aged men, their legs emit a silver luster when they practice their skills.

The current elderly man with the northern legs emits a golden luster, indicating that he has reached the state of transformation.

Two golden leg shadows suddenly appeared in the secret room, and then the stone lamp, which was several meters away, was directly shattered.

The fleeting and sharp leg shadows were like the legendary Wind God Legs in martial arts movies.

This was the first time Lin Fan had seen the true skills of the Four Supreme Experts, and at this moment, he realized the terror of these top experts.

However, with his extraordinary physique, their strength did not make him fearful.

At most, he couldn't ignore it.

"Alright, the mechanisms here have been disabled, so be careful when entering, and everything will be fine."

Lin Fan remained calm, unaffected by the opponent's formidable strength, which made the northern legs beside him regard him with even greater weight.

Although he didn't intentionally show it, the power of the top experts didn't need anything to embellish it.

Lin Fan could still remain calm in the face of such power, indicating that this power did not make him feel any fear.

At most, he just didn't underestimate it.

"Just how unfathomable is the ability of this Lin Master?"

The northern legs took a deep breath. A young man completely baffled him, which had never happened before.

Everyone entered cautiously and indeed did not trigger any mechanisms.

However, the secret manuals stored inside were deliberately placed as bait. Although they couldn't be considered top-notch, they were still of average quality.

In ordinary sects, these secret manuals would definitely be considered treasures.

But for the two parties who entered, these secret manuals were not worth their attention.

"They are indeed ordinary, but better than nothing. Let's collect them all and transcribe them for each other after we leave."

Lin Fan looked through several books in a row, confirming that there was nothing valuable hidden among them, so he didn't continue to look.

However, even ants have flesh, so since they were here, they couldn't waste it either.

The two middle-aged men were prepared in advance. Without saying a word, they took out a cloth bag and packed all the martial arts manuals inside.

One of the middle-aged men intended to carry it, but the elderly man with the northern legs reached out and took it, giving it to the young man to carry.

The young man didn't dare to argue and obediently carried the large cloth bag with his head lowered.

"Let's go. Even the bait has decent martial arts manuals. I believe the places where the real martial arts manuals are stored will definitely have good things, even secret techniques. Of course, if no one gets there first."

Lin Fan glanced around to make sure nothing was missed before speaking.

The others naturally had no objections and walked out of the secret room.

After leaving the secret room, Lin Fan did not immediately continue forward. Instead, he picked up a large sword that had been dropped by one of the martial artists who had fought in the martial world. Under the gaze of everyone, he threw the sword back into the secret room.

"Bang!"

The large sword was already quite heavy, and with Lin Fan's strength, it made a heavy sound as it hit the ground in the secret room.

At first, everyone was confused and didn't understand why Lin Fan did this.

But they quickly understood.

After the large sword fell heavily to the ground, countless thin needles, as fine as cow hair, suddenly shot out from all corners of the previously calm secret room. They were densely packed and countless in number.

Moreover, these needles were emitting a strange green color. When they landed on the bookshelves, they made a sizzling sound of corrosion. In just a moment, the sturdy bookshelves were corroded beyond recognition.

These needles contained terrifying and poisonous toxins!

When they saw this horrifying scene, they all took a cold breath.

If they had entered without any precautions, besides the Northern Leg, who relied on their extraordinary internal strength as one of the Four Supreme Masters, everyone else would have been in big trouble. They would have suffered greatly.

"Thank you, Master Lin, for saving our lives. If it weren't for Master Lin's previous reminder, we brothers would have likely turned into poison water," two middle-aged men regained their senses and expressed their gratitude to Lin Fan solemnly.

"No need for thanks. I came here this time to solve the mechanism traps that invited me. I just did what I had to do," Lin Fan waved his hand and didn't take credit for this matter.

However, the more he acted like this, the more grateful the two men who had narrowly escaped became.

Even the old man with the Northern Leg at this moment also bowed to Lin Fan. As two veteran top-notch experts, even if they were part of the Four Supreme Powers, they would suffer greatly from such losses.

Facing this situation, Lin Fan didn't say much. He just nodded again and led the group to continue forward.

With the presence of Lin Fan, the ancestor of mechanism arts, the bait secret room in this place did not cause them any losses.

But there were not just one of these bait secret rooms, there were many.

Except for those who were powerful and lucky enough to escape the deadly bait, all those who rushed into them turned into poison water.

Just these bait secret rooms alone caused countless losses to the martial artists who entered them, making it a scene of corpses everywhere.

At the same time, in the depths of this hidden treasure, there was a special space filled with various mechanisms.

The masked person who was previously outside, by unknown means, quietly surpassed all the martial artists who had entered first and walked ahead of everyone.

As each of the bait secret rooms was triggered one by one, the leading masked person revealed a triumphant smile once again.

"I believe you all will love this carefully prepared gift, but don't be impatient. The real grand gift is waiting for you ahead. Dare to cause heavy losses to our Holy Sect, this time we will make your blood flow like a river! Hehehe, hahaha!"

What started as a smug smile gradually turned into a wild laughter, echoing in this special space.
