Chapter 1556: The restrictions have been removed
Once they made it back to the law enforcement pavilion, they immediately went back to the dorm to rest.
Su Ling was naturally confused about why Lin Fan was injured, but it wasn’t the right time to discuss this. Not to mention that even if they were to discuss this, Lin Fan didn’t really know what he would have said.
So in the end, he went back to the dorm and rested.
When he was done healing up from his wounds, Lin Fan was surprised to find that Su Ling was looking at him with a strange look. This was completely different from how Su Ling had looked at him previously.
However, he couldn’t help feeling that there was a special reason for this.
Seeing that he had finished recovering, that was when Su Ling sent this sensation through their bond.
"The restrictions have been removed? What does that mean?"
Ye Qing Huan also revealed a confused look when she heard this, but Xiao Mu’s reaction was completely different. The moment that Xiao Mu heard this, it immediately came over to Lin Fan’s side to stare at him.
Lin Fan couldn’t help being a bit taken aback by Xiao Mu’s gaze.
After all, the way that Xiao Mu was looking at him was as if it was analyzing something.
He didn’t know what Xiao Mu wanted to find from him, but he didn’t feel like it was anything good...
The only reason that he didn’t move out of the way was because he didn’t sense any hostility coming from Xiao Mu. That was the only reason that he continued to let Xiao Mu stare at him like this.
In the end, Xiao Mu slowly turned to Ye Qing Huan and said, "Can you move to the side a bit and surround yourself with a barrier so you can’t hear what we say?"
Both Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan were caught off guard once more, but Ye Qing Huan listened to Xiao Mu in the end. After all, she could see the sincerity in Xiao Mu’s eyes as it said this.
It seemed like there was something important that Xiao Mu wanted to share with Lin Fan, but it wasn’t something that Ye Qing Huan could listen to.
Which was why she didn’t ask anything when Xiao Mu asked this.
If Xiao Mu was being this serious, then it had to be something that was very serious.
After Ye QIng Huan isolated herself, Xiao Mu said, "It seems like whatever happened previously did cause the restrictions to loosen a bit around you. That means that we can tell you a bit more about what happened."
Lin Fan looked at Su Ling when Xiao Mu said this and it seemed like Su Ling was thinking the same thing.
But he couldn’t understand why this was the case.
After all, the array that had been set up was something that had been put there to stop people from diving deeper into this mystery. So why would it weaken the restriction and allow him to find out more about what happened?
"Unless it didn’t expect anyone to actually survive..."
As this thought passed through his mind, there was a bitter smile that appeared on his face.
No matter how he looked at it, it really shouldn’t have been the case. But it wasn’t as if everything was perfect and it wasn’t as if they would leave something that powerful in this lower world.
Even if the upper realm wanted to leave an array to restrict those in the lower realm, it wasn’t as if they could leave a super powerful array since it wasn’t something that belonged in this lower realm.
So it would make sense if this array wasn’t as great as he thought it once was.
"Anyone that survives would be regarded as someone that is already in the know, so they can’t spread information to outsiders, but they can share information with others that were on the same level."
That was the guess that Lin Fan made and it seemed like this was indeed the case.
"The Dao Sect’s disaster was caused by the upper realm." Xiao Mu said this as if it was confirming something, but Lin Fan wasn’t that surprised since it was something that he had already figured out on his own.
In fact, Xiao Mu didn’t mind that he didn’t have a reaction at all since it wasn’t as if this was the goal that it had for saying this.
Rather, it was more that it was emphasizing this once more time to make sure that Lin Fan knew the dangers of learning more about this. That was also why there was a pause that came after it said this, as if it was waiting for Lin Fan to accept this.
Only after a pause did it finally say, "The Dao Sect learned something that it wasn’t supposed to learn, which was why the upper realm took action. Even with the suppressed power of the upper realm, the Dao Sect wasn’t able to do anything."
Once again, Lin Fan wasn’t surprised by this since this was something that he had already figured out on his own.
It was only normal that the upper realm wouldn’t be able to use their full force in a lower realm. In the first place, there was a reason that the immortals from the upper realm weren’t able to stay in the lower realm.
If they were to use their full force in a lower realm, then it would destroy the lower realm since the lower realm wouldn’t be able to withstand the power released by the immortals.
However, it didn’t seem like Xiao Mu minded once more.
Instead, Xiao Mu just said, "The matters that the Dao Sect learned aren’t things that were recorded in the records that I have and if they wanted to, it wouldn’t have been hard for them to hide it. But there was a reason that they shared it with everyone in the sect, which resulted in the upper realm making a move."
Finally, Lin Fan’s expressions changed.
His brows slightly knit the moment that he heard this and he looked at Xiao Mu and Su Ling as if he was trying to get more out of them, but it didn’t seem like either of them had any more information for him with the way that they looked at him.
Or rather, it was better to say that even if they had more information, it didn’t seem like they were able to tell him anything else.
Lin Fan could guess that they had already pushed themselves earlier by giving him the information that they had already given him.
Even if the restrictions had loosened a bit, it wasn’t as if they had completely disappeared. So they were limited in how much they were able to share with him.
The fact that they had said all this already showed how much effort they had put into giving him more information. If they were to do more, then it would start to cause serious harm to them.
With the way that they were hiding it so far, Lin Fan could tell that they were already being pushed to their limits even if they didn’t show it.
With a pat on the shoulder, Lin Fan said with a sigh, "That’s more than enough information for now. I’ll think about how I’ll use this information now."
Xiao Mu and Su Ling gave a nod before moving back over to where Ye Qing Huan was to tell her that they were finished.
"I’ll have to make another trip to the magic continent after this. At the same time, I’ll have to see about visiting the other continents as well."
The upper realm immortals most likely only had power on the cultivation continent since there were other similar beings on the other continent. For example, the gods and demons of the magic continent.
They were beings that were at the same level as the immortals and the magic continent was the base of their followers, so it wasn’t as if they would allow the immortals to interfere there.
But thinking about it, Lin Fan couldn’t help remembering how there was a certain demon that had tried to cause trouble on the cultivation continent. Though that was mainly because of the follower that had brought the demon there.
"So it isn’t as if they don’t have any communication at all, they are still aware of each other and have information on each other. If I want to learn more about the upper realm and what they were planning, it would seem like a good idea to ask the gods. Even if they don’t know everything, they would at least have an idea of what the upper realm was thinking."
However, before he went to the magic continent, there was still something that he could do in these Dao Sect ruins.
There were still records that were left behind by the Dao Sect and as far as he could see, it didn’t seem like those had any effect on him.
While he didn’t understand why that was the case, it was still a direction for Lin Fan to direct his search in.
"Still, what is the upper realm plotting?" Lin Fan couldn’t stop the sigh from escaping as he thought this to himself.
If the upper realm really was plotting something related to this lower realm, then he had to gaIn more strength for when the time came or else he would be nothing more than a victim.
"I still have people to protect." Lin Fan muttered in a determined voice.
