Fang Yu’s eyes hardened, and he lowered his raised hand.
He looked at Gao Yuan, whose face was pale with fear, narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold voice: “Tell me, if you can tell me the whole story, I’ll let you live.”
Gao Yuan’s lips were white, and his whole body trembled as he nodded repeatedly.
“I, I heard everything from the voice of God,” Gao Yuan trembled, “I am not sure if what God said is true, but…”
“Go ahead and say what you know. As for whether it’s true, I’ll make my own judgment.” Fang Yu said coldly.
“Yes, yes…” Gao Yuan replied immediately.
Fang Yu crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared straight at Gao Yuan, without saying a word.
Thereafter, Gao Yuan, amidst the utmost terror, recounted in a broken and halting manner what he knew about Lin Batian’s sudden disappearance years ago.
The headmaster of Wanshang Pavilion back then was the current Heavenly Master.
And Gao Yuan was one of the most trusted subordinates of the Heavenly Lord at the time. That is why he could learn about the process of Lin Batai’s disappearance from the Heavenly Lord himself.
Before his disappearance, Lin Batian had become invincible on the Datianchen Star, dominating all and achieving widespread fame.
Under his radiance, the Yuhuamen also became the first sect of Datianchenxing, towering above all other sects.
In comparison, the various factions within the four major domains of the Great Celestial Star… all seem dim and insignificant.
When one is already in the spotlight, it is difficult to avoid making enemies.
Especially Lin Batian, hailing from the human race, was seen as the hope for its revival… This drew even more hostile gazes towards him.
Even though many people envy Lin Baitai and covet the status of Yuhua Men, these individuals dare not show it openly. They only dare to curse him behind his back.
After all, the title of Overlord Heavenly Venerable is at its peak right now.
And at that time, the Wan Dao Pavilion was one of those forces secretly harboring resentment and cursing Lin Batian and the Yu Hua Sect.
They would have loved for the Yuhuamen to vanish immediately from the Datang Star, or else the Wando Pavilion would be severely suppressed and find it difficult to develop.
Although they thought so, they dared not attack Lin Batian.
Because they know that once they start, they will be the losers.
As Lin Batian’s deeds and stories spread, his reputation grew increasingly louder… The Wan Dao Pavilion could no longer sit idly by.
At the very least, their most esteemed Sacred Pavilion could not remain idle.
The Lord has already formulated the detailed plan for assassinating Lin Baitian, and is about to order its execution.
Just as he was about to start, the Lord suddenly stopped.
“”
Before he finished speaking, within less than a month, Lin Batian truly disappeared from the location of Shengyun Mountain… and never appeared again.
That day, the Wandao Pavilion dispatched informants and used magic artifacts to monitor the entire situation.
Lin Batai took the initiative to come to present-day Shengyun Mountain, and then…waited for an opponent.
Another Lin Batian!
…whether it’s appearance, physique, clothing, or even the aura they emanate… they are all completely identical!
Then, a great battle took place on the summit of Mount Shengyun.
It was said to be a great battle… Perhaps the level was too high, even with informants and surveillance devices present, it was impossible to see the specifics of the battle.
But the whole process was incredibly swift, erupting with waves of terrifying energy.
Last, Mount Shengyun was split in two by the surging spiritual energy.
And a long rift in space was left behind, which remains unrepaired to this day.
As for Lin Batian, after fighting with another Lin Batian, the two vanished together and have never reappeared.
“Another Lin Batian?” Fang Yu frowned, looking at Gao Yuan and asked, “Is there really no difference in aura?”
“I heard it’s indistinguishable, completely the same person…” Gao Yuan replied.
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, and he asked again, “How did they disappear in the end? Did they vanish at the same time?”
Gao Yuan shook his head repeatedly, his face ashen. “I don’t know… I only heard that the battle was extremely quick. The two exchanged blows for a short while before it ended. After that, Lin Batian and another Lin Batian disappeared together…”
“At the same time?” Fang Yu asked.
“No, I can’t be sure.” Gao Yuan’s lips trembled as he said.
Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, “So the complete process you provided isn’t very informative, is it? You’re just telling me that Lin Batian’s enemy…is someone exactly like him?”
As he said this, Fang Yu raised his hand again.
“No, please don’t kill me! Don’t kill me…” Gao Yuan cried out.
“I need more detailed information.” Fang Yu’s voice was laced with killing intent. “You either find a way to provide it, or… you die.”
“I, I, me…” Gao Yuan hugged his head, as if recalling something carefully.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head and shouted, “Heaven, Heaven Pavilion headquarters… there should be records of the entire battle process of the Overlord Saint Venerable in a magical stone!”
Fang Yu’s eyes lit up and he said, “Then take it out.”
“I, I have to look around, give me some time, give me some time…” Gao Yuan pleaded,” I will definitely find it out…”
“Fine, I’ll give you time,” Fang Yu said calmly. “But before that, you have to accept the blood pact.”
At this moment, Gao Yuan had no right to refuse. As long as he could survive, he would agree to anything!
……
Five minutes later.
Fang Yu stood high in the sky, silently waiting.
And all the cultivators within the entire Tiange headquarters were mobilized by Gao Yuan at this moment, searching together in the Tiange headquarters for the stone tablet that recorded Lin Batian’s disappearance process on Shengyun Mountain.
To stay alive, these cultivators moved quickly.
While Fang Yu appeared to be watching these cultivators, he was actually lost in thought.
Why would Lin Batian’s opponent back then be another Lin Batian?
There are no two exactly alike people in the world.
Even if one were to create a doppelganger, it would be impossible for their auras to be completely identical.
Moreover, judging from what Lin Xinyu said before his death, Lin Batian seemed to have anticipated what was about to happen.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have briefed Lin Xunyu on some future matters in advance.
Then, did Lin Batten expect his opponent to be someone exactly like him?
And, since they are two of the same person, their strength should also be completely equal.
Their battle should rage until dusk.
It’s not that it will definitely end in a draw… But no matter what, it won’t be a battle that ends quickly.
Whether it’s from lofty pronouncements or hearsay from others… the battle on Mount Holyfall was short-lived, or rather… ended in an incredibly short amount of time.
There are many rumors circulating outside, all like a burst of sound in the air…after that, Lin Batten disappeared completely.
