After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

The library, with its crisscrossing layout, has nine floors, with rows of books and scrolls displayed on them. The first floor mainly contains records of what the author witnessed and kept secret, and few people consult it.

Above that are cultivation manuals, martial arts techniques, and cultivation methods, containing the Zhao family's accumulated knowledge over tens of thousands of years.

Zhao Kuangyi originally thought that this sudden visitor was after the Zhao family's fortune and the Heavenly Martial Arts, but he did not expect that he would stop on the first floor of the library.

I simply opened a book about customs and strange tales and started reading.

"There are even better ones up there..."

He followed behind and spoke up.

The words were out of his mouth when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Logically speaking, the person in front of him should be a thief, right?

"Books are not distinguished by good or bad, and readers should not be picky about books. Even the worst book has some truth to it. Just take the essence and discard the dross."

Lin Fan said, putting down the book in his hand and picking up another book.

Xu Ling's Travels

It's just a novel written in vernacular Chinese.

Zhao Kuangyi was slightly taken aback by his words.

The words seem to make sense, but can these novels and anecdotes really compare to the workings of nature and the martial arts of the gods?

He couldn't quite understand the person in front of him.

Instead of studying the most important martial arts techniques of the Zhao family, he's reading these almost universally ignored books on the first floor.

Time flew by, and half a day passed in the blink of an eye. The selection of the front courtyard retainers had already ended. Lin Fan was still on the first floor, and Zhao Kuangyi was still following behind.

He discovered that this sage seemed to have come solely to read books, for no other reason than to seek knowledge.

Until nightfall.

Do you sell your books?

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and Zhao Kuangyi's spirits lifted.

He looked at Lin Fan, hesitant to speak, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Sell?

This is the Zhao family's library; who would dare to buy the books in their library?

However, he dared not offend the person in front of him.

"Senior, I cannot make a decision on the sale of books in the library on my own. I need to consult my elders."

He paused for a moment and then said the following.

Lin Fan nodded.

"Then let's go ask."

Lin Fan said he didn't find it troublesome, and picked up another book to read. Zhao Kuangyi nodded, bowed slightly to Lin Fan, and then left.

After about half a day, several gusts of wind howled in, and several figures appeared in the library, carrying Zhao Kuangyi. Several gazes fell on Lin Fan.

"Body Refinement Level 1?"

Some people said, "There are some doubts."

"It doesn't seem like they're hiding their cultivation level, but..."

The group focused their attention. Apart from his appearance, the young man before them seemed quite ordinary, yet he gave them an inexplicable feeling.

They looked at Zhao Kuangyi, who simply nodded seriously.

The expressions of the group all turned serious.

They did not disturb Lin Fan, but simply watched from the side. The library was quiet, with only the rustling of turning pages and the occasional nightingale's song coming from outside the window.

for a long time

Lin Fan put down the book in his hand, looked at the group, and smiled slightly.

"I'd like to buy some books, but I don't know how much they cost?"

Lin Fan said that he could see through the cultivation levels of the people in front of him at a glance. One of them was at the Celestial Realm, and the others were at the Creation Realm.

The group of people were taken aback upon hearing this.

I really want to buy the book!

The group exchanged glances and pondered for a moment.

"What price are you willing to pay, young master?"

They asked, and surprisingly did not refuse what Lin Fan said. Zhao Kuangyi, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes upon hearing this. Were the elders really going to sell books?

"Anything is fine."

Lin Fan said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, several elders of the Zhao family took another deep breath. The Supreme Elder of the Zhao family from the Heavenly Realm stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"We need you to kill someone for us, young master."

He spoke, his eyes filled with a vast and unpredictable light, and the other elders showed a hint of tension upon hearing this.

Lin Fan looked at him.

"Who?"

"Lin Weiyan, the Imperial Preceptor of the Great Song Dynasty."

In short, the atmosphere in the entire library became suffocating.

Zhao Kuangyi also looked at the Supreme Elder, the Imperial Preceptor Lin Weiyan, with disbelief. This was the number one person after the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

There are even rumors that Lin Weiyan has already entered the Dao-Slaying Realm, and with the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty absent, the entire Great Song court is practically Lin Weiyan's personal fiefdom.

"Lin Weiyan, although he is the Grand Preceptor of the Great Song Dynasty, is actually a half-human, half-demon. The demon race is one of the ten most powerful races in the Xuanhuang Great World."

"One of our clan's assassins once entered the capital and discovered the secret: Lin Weiyan has already submitted to the demon race and is now in charge of controlling the Song Dynasty on behalf of the demon race. He intends to hand over the entire Song Dynasty to the demon race."

"The sudden disappearance of the Emperor may be related to him."

"For the sake of the millions of people of our Great Song Dynasty, this man must die. Although I do not know your exact cultivation level, young master, it should be no weaker than mine. But please, young master, take action and help us kill Lin Weiyan."

"It's not just you alone, young master. My Zhao family has already contacted several experts at the Celestial Realm. With the combined strength of the entire Zhao family, we might be able to suppress and kill him."

The Supreme Elder of the Zhao family spoke, his expression solemn, and he led the other elders behind him in a deep bow to Lin Fan.

Zhao Kuangyi stood aside, utterly shocked.

The Imperial Advisor Lin Weiyan, the second most powerful human in Xuzhou, has actually defected to the demon race.

Bianjing once claimed that the Emperor was in seclusion to comprehend the sacred path, but no one expected that there would be such a secret. Could it be that the Emperor has already been murdered by Lin Weiyan?

But can the Zhao family really accomplish such an earth-shattering feat?

Kill the Imperial Advisor, the second most powerful man in the Song Dynasty, who would dare to accept the challenge?

In fact, it wasn't just him; the Zhao family's Supreme Elder and several other elders thought the same way. They were just trying their best.

Even if Lin Fan doesn't agree, they will still go to Bianjing to kill Lin Weiyan. If this man is not killed, the Song Dynasty is in grave danger.

They were just looking for more help.

This mysterious visitor might be able to help them.

"Alright, but I want all the books in your entire library."

A voice rang out the next moment, and everyone was taken aback.

Then he looked at Lin Fan with disbelief.

He actually agreed!

Go to Bianjing and kill the Grand Preceptor of the Song Dynasty.

"Lin Weiyan may have already entered the Dao-Slaying Realm..."

"Um."

Lin Fan nodded.

His calm demeanor remained constant, as if it were just a casual remark. Everyone tried to read something from his face, but all they saw was stillness.

"Not only the books in my Zhao clan's library, but if Your Excellency wishes to find any books, my Zhao clan will spare no effort to do so."

"This is what the Supreme Elder of the Zhao family said."

Lin Fan nodded and smiled faintly.

"it is good."

"I'll take the payment now."

Lin Fan waved his hand slightly, and all the books in the entire library floated into the air. Then, Lin Fan retracted his sleeve, and all the books disappeared.

The group watched this scene with utter shock.

Hidden in the sleeve, what kind of technique is this?

"Zhao Kuangyi, it seems we are destined to meet."

Lin Fan pointed into the void, and a ray of light fell into Zhao Kuangyi's brow. Then, an incomprehensible Daoist aura emanated from Zhao Kuangyi's entire being.

"Now that I've received my payment, I should be leaving."

"There's no need to trace my origins. I'm just a scholar who occasionally comes to see the world. The Song Dynasty still depends on you."

Lin Fan had already disappeared by the time he finished speaking.

The group stared in disbelief at the scene before bowing in unison towards the void.

Killing Lin Weiyan was a matter of life and death, but since they had agreed, they were heroes of the human race and deserved their respect. Now that he had left, it was time for them to set off.

The men looked solemn and all nodded.
