Chapter 343, This News is Entertaining

Translator: Silavin

 

Lu Fan could not help but smile helplessly at the situation, thinking that she was truly skilled at disguising herself.

 

Not only did she disguise herself as a Mage when she was actually a Battle Mage, but she also disguised her Heaven Incinerator as a staff.

 

If he had not detected her scent, he would not have been sure that Senior Sister and the Principal were the same person.

 

Ye Wuxian wanted to take Lu Fan and the others away immediately, but after some thought, Lu Fan asked her to wait a moment.

 

He summoned a Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King and turned all those dead in the palace into Fallen Corpse Puppets, before fusing them to enhance the Attributes of two Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon Kings.

 

Ever since obtaining the Divine Bone Fusion Skill, Lu Fan no longer wanted to waste a single corpse. Even a Third Profession Player could provide dozens of Attribute Points to the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King, and the smallest gains were still worth taking.

 

Moreover, among the corpses here were three Fourth Profession Players.

 

Whether turning them into Fallen Corpse Puppets or converting them into Attributes was worthwhile. It was certainly better than letting them go to waste in a graveyard.

 

Of course, Lu Fan did not lack Fourth Profession Players under his command. So he directly fused the two old soldiers. He only kept Jin Qingxing, reluctantly deciding to keep him as cannon fodder.

 

A Fourth Profession Hidden Profession Player at least had some ability for self-preservation. This made him passable as cannon fodder.

 

Ye Wuxian watched Lu Fan’s every move from the side. Though she did not know what Skill Lu Fan was using, she could already guess that he was converting all these corpses into Attribute Points for his two Pet Dragons.

 

Ye Wuxian quietly waited for Lu Fan to merge all the Fallen Corpse Puppets here and collect the scattered Nine Hell Demons and Five National Guardians before leaving with him.

 

Of course, they flew back to the hostel rather than riding on the Dragons.

 

After all, the Dragons were too eye-catching and would be easily spotted by those below.

 

The entire Overseeing Heaven City was originally in chaos.

 

Countless Players arrived through Transport Arrays to suppress the Nine Hell Demons Army.

 

However, when they arrived, they found that while most of Overseeing Heaven City was in ruins, the Nine Hell Demons Army that had caused all this destruction had all disappeared through what seemed to be a Transport Array.

 

By this time, Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian had already returned to the hostel where Han Ke and others were staying.

 

Under Lu Fan’s instructions, they stayed in one place to not get in the way of the Nine Hell Demon Army and the Five National Guardians.

 

However, the entire Overseeing Heaven City was in chaos, and their surroundings were no exception. In fact, perhaps the only ones who could remain calm in this whole chaotic mess were Han Ke and the others.

 

During this time, Han Ke and the others heard the sounds of battle outside, knowing that it must have been caused by Lu Fan.

 

Everyone had been worried about Lu Fan. After all, although he was strong, this was still the Capital of Extremistis Country. If he caused such a huge commotion, what if he was surrounded by Extremistis Country Players?

 

Everyone finally relaxed when they saw Lu Fan return.

 

When they saw Ye Wuxian return with Lu Fan, everyone was even more shocked. After all, no one expected to meet someone from Dragon Capital University in a foreign country.

 

Lu Fan briefly explained why Ye Wuxian was here, and among everyone, Gu Han was the most shocked.

 

She naturally did not know that Ye Wuxian was the Principal of Dragon Capital University. Now, seeing the Principal’s true appearance, her jaw nearly dropped.

 

Previously, she could not have imagined that the mysterious Dragon Capital University Principal was such a young and beautiful woman.

 

Of course, speaking of youth, Lu Fan had even dared to ask Ye Wuxian about her age during their journey.

 

As a result, he almost got kicked out of the sky by Ye Wuxian.

 

Moreover, Ye Wuxian said that if Lu Fan dared to ask this question again, she would skewer him like a candied fruit with Heaven Incinerator.

 

This threat completely killed off Lu Fan’s desire to ask about Ye Wuxian’s age (even though he still wanted to know).

 

Since Ye Wuxian was the Principal of Dragon Capital University and not an outsider, everyone already fully trusts her.

 

It was perfect timing, as everyone had been ‘killing and burning’ their way to Overseeing Heaven City. If Ye Wuxian had not come, they might have had to continue ‘wandering’ back home.

 

Everyone had thoughts of returning home, so they obediently followed Ye Wuxian’s orders and planned to return to the entrance of the Death Desert Ocean first, where they would pretend to await rescue by the Griffin Legion.

 

Ye Wuxian created a Transport Array and took everyone back to the entrance of the Death Desert Ocean Dungeon Instance.

 

Here, there was not much difference from when they had left.

 

For those allies who had died, Lu Fan had buried them before leaving and erected many unmarked tombstones made from locally sourced bones.

 

When Gu Han saw these people, who had been laughing and talking with her before, now lying here eternally here, her eyes became moist.

 

Next, everyone stayed put and set up camp at the Dungeon Instance entrance, waiting for the Griffin Legion to arrive.

 

In just a day and a half, the Griffin Legion arrived.

 

Those who came to support Lu Fan were not members of the Griffin Legion from the Far North. So, Lu Fan did not recognize any of them. Still, it was a team led by a powerful Gold Wing Medal holder, and the whole Force consisted of two hundred Griffin Legion members! This just showed how much Tu Jing valued Lu Fan.

 

This Gold Wing holder was a middle-aged man, with a strong aura. Not only was he a Fourth Profession Player, but Lu Fan could sense his strength was not below Jin Qingxing.

 

When this powerful and high-ranking Gold Wing Medal holder approached Lu Fan, he gave Lu Fan a military salute as an equal and explained his purpose for being here.

 

This scene might not have meant much to people like Jian Ying, who did not understand military customs, but it startled Ye Wuxian. After all, she knew that being saluted by a Gold Wing Medal holder meant that the recipient must be of equal rank or higher.

 

This means that Lu Fan was now also a Gold Wing Medal holder!

 

If anyone was to blame, it would be Zhao Shengming, who had reported Lu Fan’s National Trial results to Ye Wuxian but forgot to mention that Lu Fan had been awarded a massive amount of military merits, and got promoted to have a Gold Wing Medal. Otherwise, Ye Wuxian would not have been caught by surprise.

 

The Gold Wing Medal holder acted swiftly and decisively. After meeting with Lu Fan’s group, he immediately ordered his subordinates to create a Transport Array back to Dragon Country to cover Lu Fan’s escape.

 

The other end of this Transport Array was already directly positioned to Dragon Capital’s military headquarters. After Lu Fan’s group returned, people from the Dragon Capital Military would escort Lu Fan back to Dragon Capital University together with the Griffin Legion.

 

As for the rest of the journey, it was naturally uneventful.

 

Meanwhile, the various disturbances in Extremistis Country had already become international news. Many countries were paying attention to this matter, including Dragon Country of course.

 

Naturally, for most of Dragon Country, they were purely watching for entertainment. After all, this was not going to affect them, and the news was certainly interesting.

 

Still, the most important thing was the news of their national hero, Lu Fan, whose fate remained unknown.

 

After Lu Fan was escorted back to Dragon Capital by the Griffin Legion, reporters immediately reported this news, reassuring everyone who had been worried about Lu Fan.

 

The content of the report naturally aligned with Lu Fan’s version of events.

 

The report stated that they had encountered attacks from Heretical Sects, and had been hiding in the Wilderness all this time, until members of the Griffin Legion and the Principal of Dragon Capital University crossed the national borders and rescued them from the Divine Bone Forest.

 

Although Lu Fan could not claim credit for disrupting Extremistis Country, at least he was not granting them any leeway to lodge a complaint against him.

 

After news spread of Lu Fan’s rescue and return, Dragon Country’s final worries had completely disappeared.

 

The whole country celebrated, with festivities rivaling New Year celebrations.

 

…

 

Meanwhile, in a room at the Western Border, a handsome youth in a long robe put down the newspaper in his hand. His star-like eyebrows and sword-like eyes were full of mockery. “So this is why Ye Wuxian chose not to fight and was willing to have all of the Ye Family’s assets frozen rather than negotiate the resource ownership rights with the merchants. I originally thought this was some delaying tactic, to give her time to find help. But, it turns out, she went to Extremistis Country to rescue someone…”

 

“Since your Ye Family can’t find a backer, then my Loong Family doesn’t need to waste any more time. Do you think you can escape the Loong Family’s reckoning so easily?”

 

“Someone come and relay my orders, prepare a Transport Array to Dragon Capital for me. I’ll be making a personal trip to Dragon Capital!”
