Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Fang Zetao's eyes changed for a moment, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin seems very confident in his own strength. How about I make a bet with Mr. Lin?"

Lin Fan had his back to him, seemingly not caring at all about the possible attacks he might launch. This was naturally because he was confident enough in his own strength.

Lin Fan turned around after hearing this and asked, "What kind of bet does Master Fang want to make with me?"

Fang Zetao slowly drew the long sword from his waist and said solemnly, "As long as Master Lin can defeat me, I will take Duba Villa and surrender to Master Lin."

"If Fang is lucky enough to defeat Master Lin, then we can keep our distance."

In Fang Zetao's opinion, if a young man commanded a cavalry force of tens of thousands of people and had superb skills, he must be from a noble family and had the opportunity to conquer the world.

In that case, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to join Lin Fan.

But if Lin Fan is a useless person, then he will continue to be independent and wait for a wise leader to appear before joining him, instead of taking the initiative to provoke Lin Fan.

After all, Lin Fan still has tens of thousands of troops under his command.

"Is it difficult to defeat you?"

Lin Fan smiled indifferently, and then suddenly released the powerful aura of a peak grandmaster, pressing towards Fang Zetao!

"Pfft!"

Under the pressure of Lin Fan's terrifying aura, Fang Zetao's face suddenly changed, and his body fell uncontrollably onto the seat, shattering the seat and then falling to the ground.

"puff!"

Immediately afterwards, Fang Zetao spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.

Lin Fan waved his hand, and a strong suction force was released, instantly sucking Fang Zetao in front of him. Looking into Fang Zetao's eyes, he said lightly: "Now, it's time for Master Fang to fulfill his promise!"

This is a long story, but in reality it all happened in a flash.

Fang Zetao didn't even have time to react before he was sucked into Lin Fan's palm like a puppet.

At this moment, Fang Zetao was extremely shocked and looked at Lin Fan with eyes full of awe.

He never imagined that Lin Fan, despite being so young, could be so powerful.

I'm afraid that many senior martial arts masters are no match for Lin Fan!

Just by using her aura, she was able to suppress him without any resistance. It was so terrifying!

Hearing Lin Fan's words and looking at his emotionless eyes, Fang Zetao's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said:

"I, Fang, accept defeat and am willing to serve Master Lin from now on and die for him!"

Seeing Fang Zetao was stunned, Lin Fan let him go, reached out and brushed Fang Zetao's collar, and said with a smile:

"I thought Master Fang was too powerful to relax, so I used too much force just now and injured Master Fang. I hope Master Fang doesn't mind."

Fang Zetao quickly said, "I was the one who overestimated my own capabilities and provoked you. You showed mercy by not taking my life. I have no complaints."

"That's good. Next, I will have General Meng Tian hand over the reins to you and completely unify the entire Jingling County. You will be responsible for government affairs, and the military will be under the unified management of General Meng Tian."

Lin Fan nodded slightly and took the opportunity to speak.

Fang Zetao didn't hesitate at all when he heard this and immediately said, "I obey your command."

"That's it, I'm going to go back first. Please explain this matter to the people below. I don't want any more problems to arise."

Lin Fan nodded, then turned around and walked out of Duba Villa.

"Yes, I will see you off, sir," Fang Zetao agreed respectfully, and then sent Lin Fan out of Duba Villa. He watched Lin Fan's back disappear from his sight before returning to the villa.

Lin Fan returned to Jingling City and told Meng Tian about Fang Zetao's surrender. He then took charge of Jingling and allowed Meng Tian to smoothly take over the entire Jingling, mainly taking over the army controlled by Fang Zetao.

After Meng Tian completely controlled all the troops in Jingling County, Lin Fan gave him some instructions and mentioned the matter of the Jianghuai Army. Then he set out on his journey again, heading towards Chang'an.

[Ding! Triggering the sign-in mission. Please go to Yang Gong's Treasury to sign in. The sign-in reward is unknown!]

Just after leaving Jingling, the familiar voice of the system sounded in Lin Fan's mind again.

Lin Fan was originally planning to go to Yang Gong's Treasury, and this time he triggered the sign-in task. He would then have double benefits, which was pretty good.

While on the journey, Lin Fan completed the practice of the Longevity Secret and the Six Cold Secrets.

Moreover, under the influence of his extraordinary enlightenment, Lin Fan combined the Sacred Heart Sutra and other exercises and made some improvements to the Longevity Sutra, eliminating the side effects that affected fertility.

That day, Lin Fan was traveling alone when he suddenly heard a fierce fighting sound coming from the forest beside the official road.

Moreover, as the battle progressed, both sides quickly rushed out of the forest and appeared in Lin Fan's sight.

What surprised Lin Fan was that one of the people fighting was someone he knew.

It was Fu Jun'er who had parted near Yangzhou.

Judging from the way the people who were fighting with Fu Jun'er acted, they seemed to be from the Yuwen clan.

At this moment, Fu Jun'er was a little embarrassed.

The straw hat had long been lost, and there were many scars on his body. His face was pale. Not only did he suffer many external injuries, but he also looked to have serious internal injuries.

When Fu Jun'er saw Lin Fan, her eyes suddenly lit up, but she did not ask for help. She swung the sword in her hand decisively, looking like a desperate man.

"puff!"

Suddenly, someone from the Yuwen clan seized a flaw in Fu Jun'er and slammed him on the back, causing him to spit blood from his mouth and his face to become even paler.

Lin Fan looked at Fu Jun'er who was in danger, shook his head slightly, and with a flash of his body, he instantly arrived at the center of the battlefield and sent out a palm force through the air.

"Oh!"

The next moment, all the people who were besieging Fu Jun'er were instantly blown away, and a few unlucky ones lost their lives on the spot!

"Miss Fu, we meet again," Lin Fan casually embraced Fu Jun'er, who was about to fall, and chuckled.

"This woman assassinated the Sui King and is a wanted criminal of the imperial court. Please don't make the mistake!"

When the leading man saw Lin Fan's attack, his expression changed slightly. He quickly led his men to retreat a distance and spoke to Lin Fan in a timid manner.

"I saved the person. If you don't accept it, just fight me." Lin Fan put his arm around Fu Jun'er, looked at her, and spoke calmly.

At this time, Fu Jun'er reminded Lin Fan, "The leader of the team is Yuwen Chengdu, one of the four great masters of the Yuwen clan. He is quite powerful. Young Master Lin, be careful."

"Yuwen Chengdu?" Lin Fan raised his brows slightly when he heard that, and couldn't help but look at the leading man a few more times.

He was a tall and strong man with a handsome face, holding a phoenix-wing gilded halberd in his hand. He looked like a master.

While Lin Fan was looking at Yuwen Chengdu, Yuwen Chengdu was also looking at Lin Fan carefully.

Suddenly, Yuwen Chengdu seemed to remember something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and murderous intent was revealed.

"It's you! You stole the secret of immortality and killed Yu Wenhuaji and Yu Wenwudi! Come on, kill them all!"

The following words were naturally spoken to the warriors he brought with him.

In an instant, dozens of aggressive figures, led by Yuwen Chengdu, rushed towards Lin Fan and Fu Jun'er!
