A lasting infamy, true or false?

Chapter 642: Age-Old Infamy, True and False

The Divine Cicada lineage, one of the Ten Vicious, was renowned in the Immortal Ancient era, on par with the True Dragon, True Phoenix, and Heavenly Horned Ant.

Back then, each of the Ten Vicious was formidable and possessed immense potential, as were their respective clans. Though few in number, they were all elites.

In particular, the old cicada before Lin Fan was, to a large extent, the one who established the reputation of being one of the Ten Vicious.

What was unexpected was that he was not an Immortal King during the Immortal Ancient era. After an epoch, he had long since advanced, becoming a top-tier expert.

However, facing Lin Fan, this old man now showed great surprise, both on his Face and in his heart.

“You know about my undercover identity?”

“I once received the Legacy of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King and accidentally learned the truth.”

Lin Fan nodded, his Face calm. Anyway, the six paths reincarnation disk had been blown up by him, so borrowing the name of a dead person was harmless.

However, this was extraordinary for Cicada Ancestor. He almost shed tears, his wrinkled Face filled with emotion and regret.

“How many years has it been? I thought I was destined to bear this age-old infamy. Today, someone finally knows the unknown truth of that period.”

“Endless, Six Paths Reincarnation, you made me endure humiliation and live, to lie low. I did it, but I am powerless to go against the Heavens…”

At this moment, Cicada Ancestor was filled with Endless melancholy, as if reminiscing, accompanied by long sighs and helplessness.

Lin Fan was moved and empathetic towards this old man. He imagined that when he remembered everything, his heart must have been twisted in pain.

A Heaven-Defying figure, high above, revered by all living beings, ended up with age-old infamy and Endless slander, bearing too much.

Back then, the defeat of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had already shown its early signs, destined to perish. Cicada Ancestor secretly defected as ordered, entering the foreign land.

Little did anyone know, when everyone, even the Cicada clan, thought he had betrayed them, all of it was actually false.

To make it realistic, even more convincing, this old cicada even self-sealed that memory, his hands stained with blood.

More than half an epoch passed, and it wasn't until recently that this sealed memory was unraveled. But the Cicada clan had already borne an age-old infamy.

“Since that’s the case, Cicada Ancestor, return with me. The current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is lacking high-end combat power. I will clear your name!”

Lin Fan’s gaze was burning.

One must know, this was one of the few peerless experts, an Immortal King, proficient in the Law of time and space, most rare.

“Alas, I have been lying low for more than half an epoch, yet achieved nothing. If I give up halfway like this, it would be too much of a pity.”

“You should leave quickly. After waiting so many years, bearing age-old infamy, suffering inner torment, it’s finally enough that someone understands. I have no regrets.”

Cicada Ancestor gave a bitter laugh, old tears streaming down his eyes.

If he hadn't remembered the instructions of Endless and the Six Paths Samsara King, he would have long since harbored a death wish and had no desire to continue living in this world.

Because, to deceive the foreign land, one must first deceive oneself. His hands were already stained with the blood of his compatriots; he had no Face to Face his homeland again.

“What nonsense are you spouting, old man? Do you think I’m discussing with you? Either you come with me, or I’ll directly expose your identity as an undercover agent.”

Lin Fan was very firm, wanting to change some tragedies.

Moreover, letting a great expert continue to be an undercover agent was simply too wasteful. He didn't know what those people were thinking back then.

Of course, there were also limitations; not everyone had his God’s-eye view.

At these words, Cicada Ancestor was first stunned, then his mouth twitched slightly. This kid really didn't understand how to respect the elderly and cherish the young!

Now, he still wanted to force a transaction. Where was there such a rogue expert?

Unprecedented!

“Hurry up, I still need to go and kill the next Immortal King and seize their accumulation of hundreds of millions of years. Don’t waste time.”

Lin Fan urged, giving no room for discussion, as domineering as could be.

Cicada Ancestor was speechless for a moment. He regretted showing up. Now, he had encountered such a rogue, and it was hard to get off the tiger’s back.

Generally speaking, every Immortal King was high and mighty, inviolable, and even spoke very carefully, valuing his Face.

However, Lin Fan was unusual, a complete lawless Devil King, acting as he pleased, with an extremely thick skin.

“He’s a bit like Endless, especially that dog he raised…” Cicada Ancestor murmured.

“What did you say?” Lin Fan glared at him.

“Nothing. I still have some clansmen. If I am to leave, I must take them with me, otherwise, there will be danger.”

“Alright then, we’ll act separately. In the foreign land…”

Subsequently, the two briefly conversed, agreed on some matters, and then quickly split up, preparing to return together when the time came.

In fact, their conversation, though long, happened in an instant, because of the interference of the Time Domain, almost frozen there.

“Was Red King chopped up by you?” Before leaving, Cicada Ancestor couldn’t help but ask.

“That’s right. He was just undergoing Nirvana, starting anew. When I encountered him, I naturally wouldn’t let him go.” Lin Fan didn’t hide anything.

Cicada Ancestor was astonished, truly not knowing what to say. A formidable Immortal King giant, notorious for his ferocity, died such a suffocating death.

“You’re really lucky.”

“Am I? But I don’t think so. Chopping up Red King was bound to happen sooner or later; it just happened earlier now.”

Lin Fan was not modest at all. After saying this, he quickly sped away, heading to the next Imperial clan’s Domain.

“If I had known this, I really shouldn’t have appeared. Instead, I’ve been roped in by him.” Cicada Ancestor sighed lightly, somewhat regretful.

At the same time, his old Face was flushed, looking a bit awkward.

Initially, he was worried that a good Prodigy would die here, but that was completely not the case. The other party could instantly kill a top-tier Immortal King.

This combat power was terrifying!

Especially that move of pulling the enemy into a strange world, silently, it was too bizarre and very suitable for assassination.

“An Immortal King giant who has cultivated for less than 250,000 years, something that hasn’t happened in several epochs. He truly is a Prodigy!” Cicada Ancestor was astonished.

“Chii!”

Then, he also departed, fragments of time flying, disappearing from here, returning to the Cicada clan’s ancestral land, and beginning to act according to the plan.

At the same time, his appearance changed rapidly. His skin became crystal clear, no longer withered, returning to its true form.

At this level, one has long existed eternally. Youth and age are but a thought away, so external changes are certainly not difficult.

If it weren’t for the disguise, to deceive the foreign Immortal Kings, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths, pretending to be an old man with no hope for the future.

Furthermore, Cicada Ancestor possessed Heaven-Defying means, mastering the Law of time and space, capable of influencing years and interfering with matter. This is why he was able to find Lin Fan this time.

Otherwise, what happened on Enlightenment Mountain would truly have deceived ordinary Immortal Kings.

“In this life, returning to my homeland, can I truly wash away my infamy and find peace of mind?” Cicada Ancestor muttered to himself, looking at his hands.

“Boom boom boom…”

The next moment, the old man made his move. The entire Divine Cicada lineage was moved by him, collected into his sleeve, and thus disappeared from the foreign land.

Facing his clansmen, facing his descendants, he didn't explain much, because time waited for no one. He still had a few things to do, with determination and ruthlessness.

“Kill!”

On the other side, Lin Fan let out a loud shout. While killing an Immortal King, he still alarmed the Kings of the foreign land, who rushed towards him.

There was no other way. No matter how secretive the previous events were, over time, they eventually made the other Immortal Kings vigilant.

Therefore, upon sensing an enemy attack, this King was very astute and immediately summoned his companions outwards.

“Who is it?”
