Chapter 401: Princess Yongle
The initial level of faith didn't mean that they could be loyal to him. However, if it continued to develop, he might just become a god to them.
In a capitalist world, money was the most important thing.
This was a world where the strong survived, so strength was what they all looked at.
Especially with faith as a medium and the Darkness God Domain as the carrier, it was hard for these people to escape his control.
"All of you are decent and have successfully passed the test. All of you were from Long Rainbow Sect, but now you all trust me, so you are a part of my Martial Path Mountain. I will be the god in all your hearts."
"Have a good feel of what all of you will get when you worship and trust me."
At that moment, Lin Fan proceeded to transmit his strength to them through the faith tethers. As their faith was still too weak, the amount of strength they could take in was limited, and naturally, they weren't able to compare to Gou'zi and the others.
As for how long it would take for them to reach Gou'zi's stage, that was tough to say. It might not even happen for the rest of their life.
The human heart was just too complicated.
"Ah, where did this strength come from?"
"My realm has loosened, I actually reached Martial Path Stage Six."
"I reached Master Realm."
The quiet group suddenly became really restless and excited.
Normally, the Long Rainbow Sect wouldn't be able to acquire any resources, so they had to depend on themselves to become strong.
But the situation now was different.
They didn't know what happened and their strength actually increased.
"This…"
Zhu Shen looked at Lin Fan and his eyes were filled with shock. He was personally witnessing all of their strength increasing. There was even no energy fluctuation at all.
How did he do it?
Not only was Zhu Shen looking at Lin Fan but those disciples all turned to Lin Fan. They weren't stupid, so they obviously knew where the problem was.
They were able to have such a strength increase, probably due to the person on the platform.
Lin Fan said, "Do you see it? Do you feel it? All of your strength has increased without any cultivation at all. All you need to do is to believe in me and treat me as your god. Only then will your strength become higher and higher and it will be extremely easy to enter God Essence Realm. Even Void Realm, Five Element, Yin Yang, Domain, and Dao Realm won't be a problem."
He was bragging a little too much.
God Essence was okay, but it was so fake to talk about Dao Realm.
Putong!
All the Long Rainbow Sect disciples knelt down on the ground.
They felt envious when they saw their junior brothers and senior brothers leave but now they all felt really fortunate. If they didn't pass his test and were chased out, they wouldn't have gotten all these benefits.
"Long live Sect Leader Lin."
"Sect Leader Lin is the bright light in the darkness, guiding us towards a better future."
The world didn't lack dogs. Since they had gotten some benefits, they would look forward to even more.
Since they only had a low level of trust in him, he was unable to control them.
If he asked them to die now, they definitely wouldn't listen.
But the moment faith reached a certain degree, they would do anything.
What made Lin Fan's head hurt was that the cost of feeding 100 was huge and he was reluctant to do so. Wait, since Long Rainbow Sect was gone, the things here could all be moved away.
He felt like the snowball had just started.
Was it a lack of time to cultivate or a lack of experts?
All of these things weren't a problem.
Just trust and worship me and you will definitely soar into the heavens.
Cha Fu looked at Lin Fan in shock. He had never seen such a thing happen before. He didn't believe that this was a secret technique as no secret technique could actually do that.
What was the reason?
He had no idea at all.
"Gou'zi, lead some of them and carry everything out of Long Rainbow Sect." Long Rainbow Sect said.
"Yes, Young Master."
Gou'zi knew what Young Master was worried about. These people definitely weren't loyal and they had to be wary of them. He was afraid that these people would spoil the goods that they were moving.
Zhu Shen blinked. "Young Master Lin, I really can't understand you anymore."
Lin Fan smiled, "What is there not to understand?"
He felt like this was a good start. He had ammassed a lot of rage points too and could raise his cultivation when he returned to Martial Path Mountain.
"Oh right, move all these buildings too. These people also need a place to stay."
Zhu Shen said, "Why don't we just carry the entire mountain?"
"No. Martial Path Mountain has to be pure. We can't mix with another sect. In the future, when we have a chance we should demolish and rebuild all these buildings." Lin Fan said.
Zhu Shen felt really helpless. What purity? If he wanted purity, then he shouldn't have taken in these Long Rainbow Sect disciples.
Very quickly, Gou'zi brought those pumped up disciples to move houses. To them, although Long Rainbow Sect was their sect, they knew their place. Since they knew that they had no say, then why would they try to resist.
To Gou'zi, this felt really good too.
"The rewards are decent. The three days we spent have not gone to waste. I am really satisfied." Lin Fan smiled. He looked at all the people getting to work and didn't have much to say. If they continued to develop like this, the future would be really terrifying.
In a certain mysterious place, Xiao Qi was still totally stunned. As the Crown Prince, he had the heavy burden of the Imperial Dynasty on his shoulders. But the situation was not good as the Alliance and the top sects were really putting too much pressure on him.
It was just too difficult to rebuild the country.
It was also a fact that Uncle Wutong had rebelled and he had killed his father. This was something that Xiao Qi found hard to accept.
"Old Su, when can we see hope?" Xiao Qi looked at Old Ancestor Su, the protector of the Imperial Dynasty. They were sent here by his father from the start and they themselves didn't even know where they were.
They felt like they were cut off from the world and there was no connection at all.
Su Changsen said, "Your Highness, bear with it."
Xiao Qi's expression was dark and sunken. It was easy to bear with it, but when was the question?
Everything had changed so quickly. He really didn't expect that the Imperial Dynasty would break apart so quickly. It really happened in the blink of an eye and no one was able to react at all.
"Old Su, I understand but so much time has passed. I really think that we have a very slim chance." Xiao Qi said.
He was not the only prince, but since he was the eldest, he had the most weight on his shoulders.
"Brother, Old Su will definitely think of a way." The other princes said.
They all had the same thought in their minds which was that if the Imperial Dynasty wasn't destroyed, they would fight for the throne.
But with the current situation, it was best if they didn't fight for anything.
It was a miracle that they were still alive.
As for letting the Imperial Dynasty return to its former glory, it was best left to the eldest. As brothers, they would just stand behind and cheer.
At that moment, there was a fluctuation in the space outside.
Old Su felt the movement and smiled. "They are here."
"Who?"
The princes inside were shocked and thought that Old Su was referring to an enemy. But when they saw his smile, they knew that it wasn't. Thus, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
They all planned to live the rest of their lives here. Anyway, it was quite good to do that. This place had everything except for servants.
But no matter what, to have experts protecting them was the most joyful thing.
Lin Wanyi and Water Emperor appeared.
Old Su looked at Water Emperor with a weird expression. "Water Emperor, long time no see. I didn't expect you to join our cause once more."
"Keke, how can I not? Look at the situation, without me helping Imperial Dynasty, who will defend it? Just you? When I was causing storms in the world, you hadn't even formed your family." Water Emperor said.
As they hadn't met for a long time, Su Changsen had a good impression of Water Emperor. But his few words caused that good impression to disappear.
This guy really knew how to brag.
Water Emperor said, "This is the Crown Prince? He doesn't look like much. Hais, it is getting worse generation after generation such that the Imperial Dynasty can't even protect itself. I really didn't expect this, I really didn't."
Xiao Qi felt really awkward. He didn't know who this person was who was speaking so directly and didn't give them face at all.
Old Su didn't say anything, so this person was definitely skilled. This was why as a junior, he just took it as 'advice'.
"Okay, stop bragging." Lin Wanyi said.
He looked towards Xiao Qi, and naturally, Xiao Qi also saw Lin Wanyi. He knew that this broad built guy was Lin Wanyi, who defended the border against the Alliance.
He wanted to talk to him but Lin Wanyi totally disregarded him.
"Old man Su, the Emperor said that he will marry a princess to my son. Where is she? I want to take a look." Lin Wanyi asked.
Xiao Qi blinked and felt a bit awkward. Lin Wanyi didn't care about him at all and instead asked about his sister.
"Can you pay attention to what is happening? Is it appropriate to talk about such matters?" Su Changsen said.
"I don't care. Since the Emperor promised it, it has to happen. I just want to see what my daughter in law looks like. If anything happens here, I will definitely protect her." Lin Wanyi said.
Xiao Qi felt like a sharp sword had stabbed his heart.
How hurtful.
His words were so direct.
Su Changsen had nothing to say and looked to the side, "Princess Yongle."
Shortly after, a girl walked out of the crowd.
She learned about this matter from her father but before it was completed, the Imperial Dynasty was wiped out.
"Yongle greets Uncle Lin." She was extremely beautiful. She had a small face and exquisite features. Her voice was very gentle and she sounded like a demure person.
Lin Wanyi was really interested, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he was. This was the daughter in law he wanted.
"Not bad, not bad. I will take you."
Yongle's cheeks turned red. "Uncle Lin, father told me that he would decide my matters, but since he is not here, I shall listen to you."
"Hahaha, good." Lin Wanyi laughed and felt great. As for the Crown Prince, he didn't care about him at all.
He would settle his son's marriage before he worried about the Imperial Dynasty.

Chapter 402: One Realm A Month Is Too Slow
Xiao Qi, who had been totally disregarded, could only smile to hide the awkwardness he felt in his heart.
Lin Wanyi memorized what Yongle looked like. He then started to praise Lin Fan and describe him like he was an angel from the heavens.
Lin Fan, who had many flaws, was now described as a perfect boy who couldn't even be found in a million years.
Su Changsen blinked and occassionally coughed like he was saying that he was bragging a little too much.
However, his coughs were like buzzing flies to Lin Wanyi. It didn't affect him at all.
After a while, seeing that Lin Wanyi didn't stop, Su Changsen reminded, "I think you should stop. Let me tell them how amazing your son is. He is unique and everyone here is trash. We should talk about the important things."
"Keke, that is the only correct thing you have said. Okay, let's talk about proper matters." Lin Wanyi replied.
The princes were stunned. Some of them who were sitting on the chairs couldn't help but stand up. They were all unwilling to admit that they were trash.
During the meeting.
"Everyone can see what the situation is like. It is just extremely complex. It is nearly impossible to reform the Imperial Dynasty in a short time, so stop having random thoughts about it." Lin Wanyi said.
Su Changsen said, "We all know these things. We don't have to worry about King Wutong. Instead, we have to focus on the Alliance and the top sects. I went to find many of the sects and their intentions are obvious. They won't help the Imperial Dynasty and they are just a bunch of wolves. They want to occupy land to rule themselves and to suppress the Imperial Dynasty."
"But we have to admit that they have succeeded. They are also a part of the reason that the Alliance was able to break through the defense lines."
Water Emperor had been in hiding for a long time and although he didn't know about many things, he had received some news too. "With our current strength, it is impossible to turn the tides of the battle. I think we should slowly accumulate strength and wait for a chance."
"Eh, Water Emperor is right, that is the current situation. We have to wait for a chance but I can ensure you that neither the Alliance nor the top sects will be able to bear with it. There will be a huge battle between them and that will be our chance." Lin Wanyi said.
"Oh right, there are still some hermit experts. If we can gain their support, then things will be much simpler."
Speaking of these hermit experts, they were all experts who had chosen to go into seclusion to try to break through. Of course, they had gone into seclusion really long ago.
Apart from those who had reached their level of strength, normal people would not have heard of them.
Su Changsen asked, "Why should they help?"
That was indeed the case.
They did know some secluded experts.
In the past, the Imperial Dynasty even suppressed some of them who caused problems.
Now that the Imperial Dynasty had weakened, if they went to find them, those people might expose them to the Alliance or the other top sects.
These were all real possibilities.
Zhao Xuanwang, who had been quiet, said, "If it is possible. Use my Zhao Family's Purple Gold Dragon Essence Pill to raise your strength. Maybe we will have a fighting chance."
All of them looked at Zhao Xuanwang.
They were stunned.
He was so generous?
….
Martial Path Mountain.
When the Long Rainbow Sect disciples came to this mountain, they were all a little stunned. To them, they thought that the sect that they were coming to was really strong but that didn't seem like the case.
He recruited a total of 98 believers during this trip.
Although some of them were weaker, he could help to strengthen them slowly.
Lin Fan was prepared to give them lessons every single day.
The next day, Lin Fan gathered them outside the hall and made them stare at him, to worship him day after day.
Sometimes, the most violent and direct method was the most useful one.
Zhu Shen said, "Old Zhang, our Young Master Lin is really hiding many secret techniques, but the way he does things is so weird. How did Master Lin even raise him?"
"I have had something pent up in my heart for a very long time, but I don't know whether or not you will believe me when I say it." Zhang Tianshan looked at Zhu Shen and he wanted to talk about Young Master Lin's cultivation.
During this period of time, he had been thinking about it.
"Eh? Say it." Zhu Shen asked.
Zhang Tianshan said, "Do you remember when Young Master Lin left You City?"
"A few months ago." Zhu Shen said.
Zhang Tianshan nodded his head, "Right, it was a few months ago. That time when Jiang City was attacked by Yin Demons, Young Master Lin was only at Master Realm, he faced…"
"Wait." Zhu Shen interrupted Zhang Tianshan and his face was filled with shock, "What did you just say? A few months ago, he was at Master Realm, then now he is Dao Realm Stage One. What you are saying is that in just these few months he reached Dao Realm?"
"Zhang Tianshan, I have treated you as a smart person, but you are treating me as a fool?"
Zhang Tianshan's questions struck right at Zhang Tianshan's heart.
"I just know that you won't believe me." Zhang Tianshan was really helpless and said, "Now that Young Master Lin is Stage One, do you believe that he will reach Stage Two next month?"
"What a joke, how can he improve one stage in one month, do you think Dao Realm is a joke? Stop talking nonsense." Zhu Shen definitely wouldn't believe that. Dao Realm experts had their own pride. If it was so easy to improve, then how would Dao Realm people even be so valuable?
Zhang Tianshan didn't know why he would have such a thought, but for some reason, he had that feeling.
Zhu Shen's disbelief proved that at least some people were normal.
The throne of the Long Rainbow Sect Sect Leader was just placed outside. Lin Fan sat there and let everyone stare at him.
He accumulated a lot of rage points from this trip, so it was time to improve further.
He improved the remaining two techniques.
One Dao Realm technique required 210,000 rage points, so two would take 420,000.
With Lin Fan as the center, an aura that he tried to retract started to tremble and shake.
He had reached 77 Dao patterns.
He felt like he was just overpowered to be able to reach so many Dao patterns at just stage one.
Although there weren't many Dao Realm technique Dao patterns, it was already quite shocking.
Other Dao Realm Stage One experts might not have had a single Dao Realm technique out of the Dao patterns they condensed.
But Lin Fan wanted to become stronger. He wanted to strengthen himself.
Dao Body and Dao Essence both had a behind it.
It was already lit up.
This light had already been lit a long time ago. It was just that he chose not to raise it.
Now that these two Dao Realm techniques had been learned, it was time for him to raise them.
He clicked on the sign behind Dao Body.
Weng!
At that moment, Lin Fan felt shocking changes in his body.
This feeling was so magical, like each and every cell in his body was like a dimension. They were all worlds beyond ends and one couldn't fully explore them.
His strength increased once more.
He felt like when he raised a finger and drew a line, he could easily rip apart the dimension.
It was not difficult for him to use his physical body to break open space and form a dimension.
Dao Essence sign.
The Dao Essence in his body shook and his strength received a huge increase. But shortly after, he had a bad feeling in his body.
When he reached stage one of Dao Realm, he didn't feel this way.
Lin Fan thought about it.
He felt like this was because he didn't have enough Dao Essence and Dao Body techniques. It definitely wasn't because of the lack of Dao patterns.
If even now he didn't have enough Dao patterns, then what about others?
When Lin Fan increased his strength, all the other disciples were stunned.
They realized that Sect Leader Lin's body started to twist.
No, it was indeed twisting.
They had never seen such a thing from their own Sect Leader.
"Eh?"
At that moment, Lin Fan realized that their faith was increasing.
The faith tethers turned pure grey, becoming purer.
Long Rainbow Sect.
After they left, Long Rainbow Sect Sect Leader didn't dare to go back right away. He waited for a day before doing so.
After sensing that everything was fine, he hurried back with some disciples.
The sect disciples disappointed him.
All of them were just cowards.
But what could he do?
If he killed them all, then Long Rainbow Sect would be finished.
"An animal." At this moment, Long Rainbow Sect looked at the scenes in front of him and nearly fainted.
It was empty.
He felt like something was missing.
Looking closely, weren't all the buildings missing?
Sect Leader's face turned dark and sunken. He ran towards the important area.
He still had some hope.
Nothing could happen.
When he opened the room and saw the mess inside, he was filled with despair.
He knew that this would happen.
How could there be anything left?
Sect Leader knew that Long Rainbow Sect was finished. Their many years of accumulated wealth had been stolen. He was depressed, dragging his feet out of the room.
"Sect Leader…" Elder Zhou was about to say something but he was stopped.
Sect Leader was in despair, "Okay, Long Rainbow Sect will disband now. All of you can head wherever you want."
"Sect Leader, what about you?" Elder Zhou knew what happened. He was a little shocked that the sect would be disbanded but it was something he expected.
Sect Leader said, "I am tired, I am really tired. I shall tour the world before becoming a hermit."
Elder Zhou didn't believe what he said as he knew about the Sect Leader's temper.
He saw Sect Leader's gaze towards him and instantly understood.
They were going to chase away the basic disciples.
He nodded his head to tell the Sect Leader not to worry and that he could handle these small things.
Very quickly, along with the reluctant goodbyes of the basic disciples, Long Rainbow Sect was disbanded.
There were no more outsiders.
"Sect Leader, what should we do next?" Elder Zhou asked.
Sect Leader said, "We should find a sect to join. What use are those normal disciples? If they know that we are joining another sect, wouldn't we lose all our dignity?"
"I remember that bastard and I will never let him off."
With his strength, if he joined another sect, he wouldn't dare say his position would be very high but at least it wouldn't be low either.
But he definitely couldn't join those despicable sects.
Otherwise, he would become a fighter for them.

Chapter 403: Can Only Scare You First
Lin Fan's cultivation rose to stage two.
To other people, this was a really joyous matter and they would even host banquets to celebrate it to announce to the world that they have reached stage two.
But Lin Fan was really calm and he didn't react at all.
Stage two didn't mean much to him.
If he improved to stage six or seven, then maybe he would feel emotional.
As for now, there was no need to announce it to the whole world.
The arrival of the 100 Long Rainbow Sect disciples caused Martial Path Mountain to become noisy. Due to faith, Gou'zi's strength increased a lot and he became Master Gou to all of them.
Lin Fan was thinking of a way to raise his position in their hearts, so as to raise their faith in him.
However, it wasn't effective at all.
There were many sects in the world with most being mid-tier sects and a few being top tier.
After fighting two mid-tier sects, he realized that they had very few Dao Realm experts. Even if they had, they were only stage one. They weren't as strong as he had expected.
If one hadn't been to a top sect, one would not be sure of their strength level. However, they definitely had many Dao Realm experts, and their top tier people should have been no lower than Mao Shentai.
Lin Fan felt like he continued like this, he would push the world's combat strength up.
That was due to faith.
Even someone like Gou'zi who had no fighting strength at all could reach Domain Realm due to faith. That just didn't make any sense. The more people who believed in him, the closer his faith would get to its peak.
He would be able to create numerous experts.
That night within the room, all the disciples were talking to one another about why they had become stronger.
"I feel like life is filled with chance encounters, some of which we can grab and some that we can't. I am not going to leave this place."
The disciple laying there turned his head and faced the other people who were talking.
The few talking to one another turned and looked at him with hesitation and worry on their faces.
"I am afraid that we will become cannon fodder. After all, we are from Long Rainbow Sect and he won't trust us."
Everyone nodded their heads as that was the truth.
They weren't fools, so obviously they knew whether they were real disciples or cannon fodder.
"What is the difference? To me, this is an opportunity. All of us didn't even cultivate and he could raise our strength to so high. Have you ever faced such a situation?"
"Moreover, I heard him say that whether or not we can become stronger depends on faith. As long as our faith is high, our strength will rise even more quickly."
After coming to Martial Path Mountain, some people were emotional and some were worried. That was totally normal.
Lin Fan gave them a sweet taste and gave them hope for the future. To these disciples, most of them hoped to continue in Martial Path Mountain.
"Sleep now. We have to wake up early to worship Sect Leader Lin. I feel that this is how we cultivate, it is much simpler than before."
Very quickly, all the lamps were extinguished and everything became quiet.
Morning!
Lin Fan woke up naturally and walked to the main hall with Gou'zi serving him. He sat on the throne as usual and allowed the disciples to look at him.
Since he came back to Martial Path Mountain, Mu Gang had become an assistant. Gou'zi felt like her skills were bad and she wasn't able to make Young Master comfortable.
She had never thought that such a thing was actually a skill and that she needed to learn it.
If this was in the past, she wouldn't have believed it even if she was beaten to death.
"All of you were Long Rainbow Sect disciples in the past, but you met my requirements and from now on, you will be disciples of Martial Path Mountain. As long as you are well behaved, no one will dare to bully you and I can also help you increase your strength. This is my promise to all of you." Lin Fan said.
The disciples raised their heads and looked at Lin Fan. Their eyes shone brightly as they were inspired by his words.
Zhang Tianshan was really inspired. At least this kid decided to develop Martial Path Mountain. However, the way he was developing it was a little off.
But that didn't matter as his goal was to strengthen it.
Lin Fan said, "Now, I will give all of you things to do. I want the city and sect distributions in 1,000 miles around Martial Path Mountain. This is time for all of you to shine and prove your own value."
"Yes, Sect Leader." Everyone cheered.
Zhu Shen said softly, "Young Master Lin, will this expose our location?"
Lin Fan smiled. He told so many Long Rainbow Sect people to leave, so there would definitely be people who knew where Martial Path Mountain was.
Especially the Long Rainbow Sect Sect Leader whom he felt wouldn't let the matter rest just like that.
He would definitely find ways to find trouble with him. The only thing was that he was too weak, so weak that he had to ask Zhu Shen to handle it for him.
"Don't worry, it is time for Martial Path Mountain to reveal itself to the world." Lin Fan said.
Zhu Shen frowned and felt like this wasn't a good choice. He wanted to be low profile and he didn't want to attract attention. It was best if he didn't partake in anything and waited for his father to find him, then he could do whatever he wanted.
But now, he wished that Young Master Lin would play it safe and not cause any trouble.
Lin Fan looked at Gou'zi. He was already at Dao Realm Stage Two and he could transmit more strength over to Gou'zi through the faith tether.
But he didn't do so.
To him, he could raise Gou'zi's cultivation to Dao Realm, but he didn't. Gou'zi couldn't control his strength now, so directly raising him to Dao Realm could cause him to lose control.
"This is really unbelievable."
Lin Fan himself was filled with disbelief. This was just shocking. Just with faith, he could raise someone's cultivation to Dao Realm. What would the people, who cultivated for decades without getting into Dao Realm, think?
Darkness Chief God's legacy ability wasn't a joke. There were no restrictions at all either. As long as your faith was strong enough, you could become as strong as you wanted.
He loved such direct and honest methods unlike those that sounded so good but had many hidden restrictions.
At this point, he would like to thank the small support system.
Without the magnanimity of it, he would be unable to do all this.
98 disciples left Martial Path Mountain and started to investigate the other sects and cities that were around.
When the disciples left, Lin Fan called Gou'zi over as it was time for them to get busy. The reason why he sent them away was fake; the real reason was to raise faith.
This required Gou'zi's help.
A few days later, far away from Martial Path Mountain, Xu Zhao was one of the more active ones out of the 98 disciples. He also had some status in Long Rainbow Sect and was at Master Realm cultivation before. But due to faith, he rose to Grandmaster Realm.
A 40-year-old at Master Realm was just average, but he had basically no hope of reaching a higher realm.
"Brother Xu, we are already 400 miles away from Martial Path Mountain, so please tell me the truth. Can we stay in Martial Path Mountain? Is it a place worthy of our loyalty?" Someone asked.
Xu Zhao raised his head and looked at the person who came. He kept silent and said, "It is worth it, trust me and also trust what has happened to us."
Suddenly!
A dark and sunken voice spread from the distance.
"Who is it?" Xu Zhao looked into the distance but as it was a dense forest, he was unable to see the specific situation within. However, the aura that was around them was a little off.
Xu Zhao told the people around to be careful as this was an enemy attack. They didn't know where the person came from, but he definitely wasn't weak.
A black shadow popped out from the forest like a specter. He wore a black robe and one couldn't see his face.
It made one feel really suppressed.
Suddenly, loud cries could be heard.
Many black bugs appeared behind the person. Those bugs stacked together and it was a terrifying sight to watch.
There were also many winged buzzing bugs.
"Become the food of my babies." A hoarse and sinister voice spread out.
When they heard this sound, their arms and legs felt really cold. A chill surged up from their legs to their head. Numbness, coldness… even their legs became unresponsive.
The bugs surged towards them.
Step step!
A beast seemed to have been frightened. It charged right into where the bugs were heading. In the blink of an eye, that perfectly fine beast was now just a clean skeleton.
The people who wanted to fight back were stunned when they saw such a scene.
That was just too quick.
"Run."
Someone shouted and tried to flee right away. However, he realized that they were already surrounded by bugs.
They had no way out.
Cold sweat appeared on Xu Zhao's forehead and his expression was really solemn. He really didn't expect that he would face such a situation.
"We are Long… Martial Path Mountain disciples who are out to do a mission. We have no animosity with you, so why do you want to eat us?" Xu Zhao asked.
He didn't get a reply.
The guy just stood there and didn't move at all. He didn't even lift a single limb. This made the entire situation really terrifying.
Feng Feng!
The bugs were really quick and the dense insects surged towards them.
"Stop staring at them like silly kids. If we don't fight back we will die."
Xu Zhao knew that they couldn't just wait for their deaths. He waved the blade in his hand. Blade energy surged forward and attacked the bugs. However, against such a large number of them, he barely dealt any damage.
Even if some bugs died, the bugs behind would replenish them.
"This…"
All of them were petrified when they looked at the scenes in front of them. The bugs were just endless.
"No…"
As the bugs covered them, someone raised his hand to cover his faces like he didn't dare to face what was going to happen next.
Suddenly, they weren't swallowed by the bugs.
Xu Zhao realized that an illusion appeared behind them. They had seen it before; it was the Chief God Illusion that Lin Fan previously revealed in front of them.
At the same time, the dense crowd of bugs stopped moving.

Chapter 404: Arm In The Darkness
"We are fine and those bugs have been blocked. What is going on?"
"I understand. Look at the illusion behind us. Isn't this what Sect Leader Lin showed us the last time?"
"Wa, are we protected?"
Every one of them was excited as they were able to live. They thought that they would die but didn't think that such an unexpected thing would occur. They were so emotional that they wanted to cry.
At that moment, their faith strengthened.
One could see the entire process of the grey faith turning white. The Darkness God Domain absorbed the faith and became much stronger.
"Eh!"
A blue-colored faith was hidden within the white faith. Although it wasn't that blue, compared to the white of everyone else, it stood out.
Not bad, who knew that someone's faith in him would actually raise so much at such a time?
Wasn't the person Xu Zhao who spoke previously?
"What power is this to actually block our babies? Damn."
A dark and low voice spread out.
Gou'zi wore a black robe and didn't move at all. Even his voice was modified. He listened to Young Master's orders to teach all of them a lesson. Anyway, he just had to stand there and not do anything else.
Those words gave Xu Zhao and the others the utmost confidence. They believed that the bugs were unable to harm then and feared the image behind their bodies.
As Lin Fan studied the Darkness God Domain, he realized many miraculous uses.
This was the building of faith and the appearance of the god aura.
Even if he was thousands of miles away or numerous dimensions away, as long as one prayed, one would get a reply.
Of course, it was too early to talk about all of this. The power of the God Domain was not too strong and the distance at which the power could appear was limited.
When Lin Fan saw these scenes, he sighed due to the difficulty of it all.
He had to personally interfere to raise their faith. Was there anyone else who was as hardworking as him?
If this really was a faith world, he probably didn't need to try so hard and large batches of people would fight to provide faith to him.
Gou'zi waited for the next order.
What would he do now?
Young Master didn't reply to him.
Very quickly, Gou'zi received news for him to retreat. There was no need for him to do anything more.
"All of you remember, I will be back. The power backing you saved you, but I won't let all of you off."
Usually, only a fool would say such a thing.
But due to the effect and the pressure that he was putting on them, Gou'zi decided to follow what Young Master said.
The moment he said that, the black-robed man that Gou'zi was disguised as slowly disappeared.
Xu Zhao and the others heaved a sigh of relief. An enemy appeared out of nowhere and they thought that they would die here. Who knew that such a thing would happen?
After this matter, their faith in Lin Fan increased. It was very subconscious and even they themselves might not have realized it.
In the distance…
"Young Master, how was it?" Gou'zi asked.
"It was alright but there were areas that weren't perfect. Work hard and we'll have more chances in the future too." Lin Fan said. Gou'zi's acting was really bad, so he told Gou'zi to wear a black robe so as not to expose himself.
If he tried too many times in a short time, it would be easy to mess up.
Moreover, how would one be so unlucky to face so many dangers outside? They were just such random dangers.
An occasional encounter would be perfect.
Gou'zi nodded, determined to work hard to meet Young Master's expectations.
"Let's go, but we don't have to rush back."
Lin Fan didn't plan on heading back since he had left the mountain which was something that Zhu Shen couldn't accept. He couldn't handle such things and would panic when he faced awkward situations. Even if he was now in the form of a pig, that face perfectly expressed his feelings.
Xu Zhao and the others were really collecting the details and infomation around the various cities and villages.
However, due to the Alliance, some villages were already empty. It was as if something had destroyed them.
As for what kind of damage, no one knew.
Thousands of miles away, an Alliance army was walking and all of them were wearing native clothing with even their hair cut. If one didn't understand the Alliance or if they didn't reveal themselves, then no one would be able to recognize them.
Since the Alliance had blown apart the gates to the Rich Land, the Alliance Headquarters formed a new army.
This was the Alliance's sixth division and their goal was to dress as natives to understand what the natives were doing. More importantly, they wanted to know what the sects were doing.
The leader was a nine-star general who had some status but not a high one in the Alliance. Upon rough estimate, he was around stage two Dao Realm.
"General Iron Dragon, we have established several connection points and have managed to contact the Alliance Headquarters. Should we continue to head deeper in?" A guy asked. He didn't like the clothes he was wearing and his hair was too long and uncomfortable.
Iron Dragon said coldly, "Remember not to call me general outside. We are now natives. We are a family that moved from somewhere far away and I am the head of the family."
"Yes, family head." The male replied.
Wu Zhige's situation caused the Alliance Headquarters to reevaluate the native situation. They felt like coming over in the Alliance's uniform would cause problems.
A person came from afar.
"Family Head, there is a city 300 miles ahead known as Valley City." The man said.
Iron Dragon nodded and waved his hands to ask the group to pick up speed.
….
Lin Fan and Gou'zi overtook Xu Zhao. They were really quick. Apart from villages, they didn't see any cities.
He had been thinking about something which was why there weren't any secret realms in this world.
If one opened up, he would definitely head over to have fun.
Unfortunately, there weren't any others.
A few days later…
"Young Master, there is a city there." Gou'zi pointed to the distance.
Lin Fan lifted his head and saw a city. He waved his hand, "Go, let's go take a look."
They didn't face any trouble along the way. Although there were many sects, it wasn't that easy to bump into one. The place where Martial Path Mountain was didn't belong to one of the four Alliances.
The four Alliances were mainly gathered in the north.
After all, the dividing line was the Imperial Dynasty and behind the Imperial Dynasty was the Alliance. Even if the Alliance and the Imperial Dynasty worked together, they wouldn't be surrounded.
Valley City.
Lin Fan looked at the city name and walked in. This city wasn't controlled by the Alliance and was still under the Imperial Dynasty. Maybe because it was quite far away, the defenses weren't that strict.
At the same time, because they hadn't experienced the cruelty of the Alliance, the city was pretty much the same as before.
"Young Master, this place looks really safe." Gou'zi said, not feeling much danger.
"Let's take a look."
Lin Fan's thoughts were simple: to develop Martial Path Mountain and expand. King Wutong's rebellion had succeeded and he overthrew the Imperial Dynasty. If he wanted to become the boss he had to be strong enough and snatch whatever land he could.
Be it the Alliance or the Imperial Dynasty, as long as it was within the range of Martial Path Mountain he would snatch it.
The sellers were calling out.
The civilians weren't very affected but one could still hear some of them discussing the current situation.
What they said was quite clear: life was getting tougher and tougher.
Who knew when danger would come?
He went to a restaurant to eat and stay the night.
"Family Head, we have set up the equipment and our signal is covering this area. The Headquarters can also receive the signal and video feed of this place."
Their goal of hiding their identity and coming here was simple: to set up people in the Imperial Dynasty cities. Even if they weren't controlling it they would have people there to monitor the situation.
The Alliance Headquarters formed a division just for this and they were just a small group in that division.
They had to continue to head to other cities.
Of course, they weren't afraid of being noticed as the natives had no idea what the equipment was. Even if they saw it they wouldn't know what it was.
General Iron Dragon was satisfied.
"Let's test it. As long as the signal is fine we will leave right away." Iron Dragon said.
"Yes."
A machine was placed on the table of the inn and wave-like patterns jumped on the screen.
It was really faint but one could hear the beeping sounds.
Beside them, Lin Fan was trying to fall asleep but when he closed his eyes, he heard the beeping noises.
"Bear with it. I am a Sect Leader and I can't get angry. I also can't attack normal people."
However, they were too much.
It lasted till such a late time.
Lin Fan got up and smacked the wall. "Hey, can you keep quiet? Why are you making so much noise? Can't you wait till tomorrow? You have no morals at all. If it wasn't for my status I would have beaten all of you up."
As expected, it was useful.
The beeping stopped.
Lin Fan continued to sleep.
In the next room, Iron Dragon said softly, "Go and knock him out. Don't cause any trouble in case people notice us."
"Yes." The guy replied. A vicious gaze appeared on his face. He felt that the native was really arrogant. But since the general said not to kill him, he had to listen to orders.
To him, they should have just killed him. What problem would even arise?
The man pushed open the door and looked around. After seeing that no one was paying attention to this place, he headed to the next room. He pressed the door with his palm and with a slight jolt, the door opened.
"Keke." The guy smiled.
A small gap could be seen as the door was pushed open.
Suddenly, as the guy was about to step in, a hand appeared from the darkness and pulled him in.
With a smacking sound, the wooden door closed.
It was as if nothing had happened at all.
Report chapter
Chapter 405: I Have Surrounded Them
Iron Dragon stood behind and as the other tech members contacted the Alliance Headquarters.
"Family Head, the signal is as per normal and we are able to scan each and every corner of Valley City to form a map. We should be able to transport this image back to the Alliance Headquarters every second."
The tech members were really fast. It was evident that they were all used to doing this.
"Eh."
Iron Dragon nodded his head in satisfaction. The situation was so perfect, much better than anything Wu Zhige had tried to do.
How tragic was Wu Zhige, who was deemed one of the strongest generals in the Alliance? He brought some people to map the area and was diverted away and the whole team was wiped out.
It was such a joke and the Alliance Headquarters was dissed by nearly everyone.
As for him, he led the sixth division and laid out many pieces of equipment on the ground. He had succeeded here in Valley City and it was time to head to the other cities.
But the only waste was that he wasn't sent over to the Imperial Dynasty. That was a huge mission and if he could do so perfectly, he would gain a lot of credit for that.
"He has been gone for such a long time, so why isn't he back yet?" Iron Dragon frowned. He ordered him to knock the person next door out, but why wasn't he back yet? Did something happen?
That was impossible.
He knew that there were many experts among the natives, but they couldn't be so unlucky such that there would be an expert living in the room beside them. The chances of such a thing happening was just too low, it was even lower than hitting the jackpot.
Suddenly, there was the sound of knocking coming from next door.
Iron Dragon lifted his hand for all of them to keep silent. He then walked towards the wall where the sound was coming from.
His brow was locked and he was filled with many questions. He felt like something unlucky was about to happen.
The sound got louder and louder.
The wall shook.
With a peng, a hole was opened in the wall.
People downstairs cursed.
Who was not sleeping late at night and doing such a thing?
Iron Dragon was stunned. After the wall was broken open, a face appeared in front of all of them. It was the person who they had sent over.
His expression was really ugly. His face was covered in blood and there was a huge bruise on his forehead.
"What are all of you even doing late at night and not sleeping?" Lin Fan told Gou'zi to move aside. Gou'zi was the one who was breaking down the wall. He lifted his leg and kicked down the wall.
"Eh!"
Lin Fan looked at the scenes ahead of him, "How advanced. You are from the Alliance, right?"
He was just so direct, not giving them a chance to explain themselves.
Iron Dragon didn't want things to get out of hand and wanted to explain to him that it was just a misunderstanding.
But when Lin Fan mentioned the Alliance, his expression changed.
"This brother, I don't know anything about the Alliance that you speak of." Iron Dragon said. The gazes of the people around all changed and they were filled with killing intent. As long as the general gave an order, they would take his life.
Lin Fan smiled and wiped the dust off his body. He walked towards Iron Dragon and pointed at the machines.
"Stop treating me like a fool. These wave-like patterns are signals, right? Did you set up any equipment here to monitor this place?"
He then picked up the talking equipment.
"Alliance Headquarters, please come in."
Du du du!
"The Alliance Headquarters has received your message. Division six, please speak."
Lin Fan placed it down and looked at Iron Dragon. "And you are telling me that you are not from the Alliance?"
Iron Dragon was stunned. It wasn't because he noticed that they were from the Alliance but because of how familiar he was with their equipment.
What a joke…
The Alliance's technology was in fact really high tech, but some things could be recognized at just a glance.
Iron Dragon didn't care much about Lin Fan.
He was young and even if he was strong, he wouldn't be too strong. Since he noticed this, then he couldn't be left alive.
"Look, someone is behind you." Iron Dragon shouted in shock as he pointed forwards.
Lin Fan said, "Stop fooling around. Why are you trying such lousy tricks in front of me? You… Hais, you are so dumb."
"Gou'zi, turn around and see what is there."
Everyone was curious, so since Iron Dragon said that, he had to take a look.
Gou'zi turned around, "Young Master, there is nothing at all."
Iron Dragon realized that this native was different from the others he knew.
Their Alliance Headquarters studied the natives before.
Natives were cunning, cruel, and smart but towards some matters, they were really stupid.
Instantly, Iron Dragon didn't give him a chance; he lifted his hand and caused the air to shake. Power gathered at one point instead of spreading out.
They were in an inn and if he used too much power, the entire place would explode and all the equipment would be lost. Moreover, if they drew experts here, it would be a huge loss.
Xiu!
He was extremely quick and that punch was something that normal people couldn't block at all. Anyone below Dao Realm would be dead from this punch.
Pata!
Lin Fan lifted his hand and easily stopped the punch.
"Eh?" Iron Dragon was shocked and filled with disbelief. How was this possible? This kid actually blocked his full strength punch.
What was his strength…
He was filled with disbelief.
"Don't be rash. You are only stage two." Lin Fan grabbed his fists and could sense his realm already.
Anyone who looked old wouldn't be weak.
However, if a young person had Dao Realm cultivation, that would be truly unbelievable.
Pata!
The door was pushed open and a guest shouted in rage, "What are you all doing late at night… It is okay, please go ahead."
The guest saw what was going on and felt terrified. These people were holding knives and were in a standoff.
He closed the door and packed up, wanting to find another place to stay.
"Who are you?" Iron Dragon frowned and asked. Someone with such strength had to be famous. He also looked young and wasn't just someone who trained his body to look young.
People did think about training their bodies to look young, but the physical body was really tough to cultivate.
To people who just started cultivating, rather than training the body, it was better to cultivate normally to raise strength and extend lifespan. Even if one was talented, when one's cultivation increased, he would naturally be old too.
When one returned to train the body now, one's appearance wouldn't be youthful anymore and one wouldn't be able to go back to the past.
"The Alliance should know me." Lin Fan asked, "Do you know the name Lin Fan?"
Iron Dragon thought about it and tried to recall the name. It was familiar but he wasn't sure.
"Eh? I am still not famous over there?"
Lin Fan couldn't take it anymore and was really annoyed. Although he didn't have a really shocking battle with the Alliance, it was definitely quite intense.
Who knew how much trouble he had caused for them?
Logically speaking, the Alliance Headquarters would want to kill him.
Iron Dragon frowned and seemed to have thought about something, "You are Lin Wanyi's son."
"That's right. It seems like you have remembered." Lin Fan smiled. It seemed like he was famous. How could they not know him? But no matter what, his father was famous, so even if the Alliance Headquarters was dumb, they would definitely hunt him down.
Iron Dragon had no idea what the people around were speaking, but this definitely wasn't a good sign.
"Gou'zi."
Lin Fan just called him and Gou'zi suppressed everyone around. No matter what they were planning, they were now laying on the ground and weren't able to do anything.
Gou'zi was a really sharp person.
He had started to become more and more like Cousin. In the future, when cousin returned to his side, he would have two great fighters.
"You…" Iron Dragon didn't expect him to actually attack. He said, "If I were you, I don't think there would be anything good to come out of going against the Alliance. The Alliance can wipe out everyone to progress, but we can become friends with anyone who wants to work with us."
"Your father is someone we want to recruit. As his son, I think you should think about your father. If he continues to fight us, he will die in the end."
Iron Dragon wanted to recruit Lin Fan. They weren't complete enemies. Even if people were enemies, it was usually just due to conflicts of interest.
What did Lin Wanyi want?
The Alliance studied for a long time but they had no idea. But the Alliance didn't believe that everyone was like Lin Wanyi. This was proven by the top sects that if they gave them enough benefits, even enemies could become partners.
Lin Fan smiled, "Have you not thought about your situation?"
Iron Dragon said, "I thought about it when I entered Rich Land. I will either live or die. Even if I die I won't fear it. I am like your men at the border. I will give up everything for the Alliance."
"Then, we should talk about the Alliance. Then, you can consider it."
Lin Fan was too lazy to bother with this person. He picked up the phone and contacted the Alliance Headquarters. "Alliance, I am You City's Lin Fan, I have surrounded your general and a few small fries. Are you planning to save or give up on them?"
Du du!
The other party wanted to reply but they had no idea what to say. They totally hadn't expected this to happen.
After a long while, they finally spoke.
"You City, Lin Fan? I remember you, you don't seem to be a match for Iron Dragon. It is okay that you stole the thing, but by provoking the Alliance, you are asking to die."
Lin Fan was confused, "Who are you? Sorry for not being able to recognize who you are."
"But this isn't important. Iron Dragon, come say something."
Iron Dragon looked at Lin Fan and then said with his low voice, "It's me."
The other side was totally silent.
Report chapter
Chapter 406: It Would Be Much Better If There Was A Beauty Filter
The person who was in contact with Iron Dragon was the eight-star general, Xiao Hu.
He knew who You City Lin Fan was. That person was Lin Wanyi's son. He remembered that when they were at Maigu City, if Monster Emperor hadn't saved him, he would have definitely not been able to escape from the hands of Mao Shentai and Xue Du.
Unfortunately, Mao Shentai had died in You City.
"General Xiao Hu, this…" All the Alliance members who received the call didn't know what to say when they saw that general Xiao Hu was silent.
General Xiao Hu raised his hand to ask everyone else to be silent. He then asked, "What do you want to do?"
Now that Iron Dragon allowed this kid to contact the Alliance, that meant that Iron Dragon was in a dangerous situation.
However, he didn't think that this kid had the ability to suppress Iron Dragon. There was definitely an expert by his side, otherwise, this was just impossible.
"Damn you." Lin Fan said two words before laughing.
Rage points 999
Rage points 111.
….
"Lin Fan, your father's whereabouts are unknown and you are located in Valley City now. The Alliance will stop at nothing to rush over there and kill you." Xiao Hu was furious but he acted calmly and replied. If he could he really wanted to appear in front of that kid to pluck his head off.
Lin Fan said, "Sure thing, you dog."
Hu!
Heavy breathing could be heard from the other side like the person was trying his best to bear with it.
Rage points 999
Rage points 123.
When the receiver over at Xiao Hu's side heard those insults, they were furious. The native actually dared to insult their general. That was a sin punishable by death.
Not only was the general furious, but all of them wanted to beat Lin Fan to death.
"Lin Fan, if you have something to say, then say it. Stop saying such useless things. What do you want?" Xiao Hu had a calm heart. If his temper was really that good, he wouldn't have beaten Lin Fan up so badly.
But he had the demeanor and handling skills of an expert.
When fighting Lin Fan, he didn't let anyone else interfere and preferred to fight one on one.
Lin Fan felt like it was quite easy to earn rage points like that.
"I don't want to say anything to you. You are only at Domain Realm and I'm only an eight-star general. I am now a Dao Realm expert. In your terms, I am a nine-star general. Do you really think we are equals?"
"Stop talking so much and find someone who can make the decisions."
Lin Fan's words were really hurtful. Xiao Hu was indeed at Domain Realm, but he had half a foot into Dao Realm.
Rage points 999
Rage points 222
….
When the people over at the Alliance heard those insulting words, they looked at Xiao Hu with an awkward expression. To them, this must've been an unbearable insult for Xiao Hu.
Damn.
Lin Fan really went over the top.
Why couldn't he just negotiate? Why did he have to say such hurtful words? Did he not know that they all worshipped and respected Xiao Hu?
Xiao Hu sucked in a deep breath and clenched his fingers. Maybe Lin Fan didn't mean it and he was overthinking.
Not stepping into Dao Realm was an insult to Xiao Hu and this was the second time he had heard such things.
The first time he heard it, it was said by another nine-star general from the Alliance. This time it was a native.
Damn.
"Okay, you wait. I will find a nine-star general to talk to you." Xiao Hu hung up.
Within the inn, Iron Dragon looked at Lin Fan, "Although we are enemies, don't you think that what you said to Xiao Hu was too much?"
"Xiao Hu? That is a familiar name." Lin Fan tried to recall but he couldn't pinpoint the name. His brain habitually blocked out all the enemies below Dao Realm as he didn't really care about them.
Forget it.
Since he couldn't recall, then there was no need to think about them.
"How was it too much? I only spoke the truth. Your stage two cultivation looks decent, but I can kill you in one move. Behave, otherwise, I don't mind just sending you on your way."
Lin Fan looked at Iron Dragon and didn't care about him at all.
"Gou'zi, ask them what they are doing here. If you think they are lying, then kill them. There is no need to ask me for instructions."
He wouldn't think that Iron Dragon and his men were here on holiday.
They were definitely doing unspeakable things.
"Yes, Young Master." Gou'zi replied. He looked at the few people who were suppressed and started to question.
At this moment, there was no reply from the Alliance's side.
Iron Dragon said, "You look young, so how did you even cultivate? Even talented people will need decades to get to Dao Realm, even 100 years."
He only had one thought which was that this person couldn't be left alive.
The Alliance Headquarters had to know how terrifying he was.
One didn't fear cultivation or family.
What they feared was for a young person to reach an impossible realm and be unnoticed. If the Alliance didn't pay attention and allowed him to continue, the outcome would be catastrophic.
To the Alliance, this would be a disaster.
Lin Fan said, "Cultivation is easy and it isn't difficult at all. I know what you are worried about. Let me tell you, your worries will soon come true. With my cultivation speed, in just three months your Alliance will panic."
"As for whether or not you will live to see that day, that is another question. I don't know whether or not I will let you live."
When Iron Dragon heard this, he burst out laughing, "Three months? I want to tell you not to look down on the Alliance. Even your father doesn't dare to do so."
"Don't use reverse psychology on me. Do you think that just because of what you said I will let you live for three months?" Lin Fan glanced at him and said in disdain, "Stop trying these little tricks on me."
Iron Dragon didn't want to say any more nonsense. This person actually thought that he was using reverse psychology.
Did he really think that he was afraid to die?
Stop overthinking…
Suddenly, someone cried out. Gou'zi really attacked and killed an Alliance member.
Gou'zi was asking them what they were doing and what they were installing in Valley City. No one told him anything. Then, someone said that they were here to play, and the moment they said this, Gou'zi killed him.
This scene terrified all of them.
The main reason was that it was so unexpectedly violent.
Lin Fan was too lazy to ask anything else. Gou'zi had a mind of his own, and anyway, they only needed one person alive.
"It is an honor to die for the Alliance. The Alliance will remember you." Iron Dragon said and hoped that these members could calm down and not get terrified by what Lin Fan was doing.
Lin Fan said, "Nonsense. To the Alliance Headquarters, all of you are just cannon fodder. I think you should speak the truth and not die for no reason. Look at all of you, you must be married. If you die, no one will help you take care of your family."
Those few Alliance members felt a chill down their spine but they acted like they were calm and hollered, "When we die the Alliance will take care of our families. Our brother will take care of our family."
"Hais, how sad. When you die your family will have no support. Your kids will follow the surnames of other guys and will be beaten by others. As for wives, they will belong to others, your riches will also…" Lin Fan wanted to say more but those unstable people interrupted him.
"Shut up, stop speaking." One of them hollered. He didn't believe that such a thing would happen, but for some reason, those scenes appeared in his mind.
Lin Fan said, "Say everything you know and I'll let you live."
"Lin Fan, don't waste your time. They are Alliance members and they will die for the Alliance. To us, life is not important. The future and victory of the Alliance will be earned by the stacking of our corpses." Iron Dragon said.
But for some reason, he was panicking deep down and he felt like those people would be persuaded.
At that moment, someone spoke from the side of the Alliance.
"You City Lin Fan, son of Lin Wanyi, I am Alliance Headquarters' nine-star general, Chi Xiao. If you have anything to say, you can say it to me." On the side of the Alliance, Chi Xiao's face was cold. This kid was really arrogant and even disregarded Xiao Hu, speaking directly to a nine-star general.
Lin Fan said, "You said that you are a nine-star general, so I will believe you for now. Which stage are you at?"
"What does that have to do with my cultivation? Just speak. You have captured Iron Dragon and that can be considered our bad luck. Don't try anything funny as any Alliance member is well prepared to sacrifice for the Alliance."
"I can tell you that I am stage five. What are you going to do?"
Chi Xiao replied.
Lin Fan smiled, "Dao Realm stage five. Isn't that the same as Mao Shentai? Unfortunately, he died in You City. If you were there, you would be one of the dead. Oh right, I miss Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige. They were lucky last time but they won't be lucky next time."
Arrogance.
Madness.
Chi Xiao was furious and provided him with rage points. He didn't expect for a native to be so arrogant. Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted because he captured Iron Dragon and the others?
Di di!
Lin Fan realized a bar appeared on the screen and looked towards Iron Dragon.
"That is a video. Just click on it."
Lin Fan sat on the chair and grabbing his arm, Iron Dragon knelt on the ground. Such a humiliating action made Iron Dragon furious. But as the situation was not good, he could only bear with it.
The video connected.
Scenes appeared on the screen.
An old man's face appeared inside.
Lin Fan smiled calmly, "This should be the first time I am video calling an Alliance nine-star general. Your technology is not bad but it is a little lacking. There is no beauty filter. If there was it would be much better."
Chi Xiao wanted to scare him but when he saw how calm Lin Fan was, he suddenly felt like the kid in the video was not any ordinary kid.
He had a calmness that a normal young man shouldn't have had.
Actually, what did he know?
If one was strong, anyone could be calm.
Report chapter
Chapter 407: You Have Been Abandoned
Lin Fan's words really confused Chi Xiao.
He didn't know what that kid was talking about.
However, it definitely wasn't anything nice.
Chi Xiao's entire face blocked the screen such that Lin Fan couldn't see what was going on from his side. At the same time, he told the Alliance members to tidy the infomation about Lin Fan.
This kid had to be wiped out; he couldn't be left alive.
However, when Iron Dragon knelt down to the side, his mental state nearly exploded.
A nine-star general was just kneeling down on the ground like that. Where was the pride in all of this?
Did Lin Fan even respect the Alliance at all?
Chi Xiao suppressed the rage in his heart. "Lin Fan, just say any request that you have. As a nine-star general, naturally, we want to keep Iron Dragon alive, but I hope that you can see the situation you are in. The Alliance definitely wouldn't agree to absurd requests.
Since this was the situation, what else could he do?
Iron Dragon was not weak either. He was at Dao Realm stage two, so no one expected him to be defeated so badly to the point of kneeling on the ground.
If he hadn't seen it personally, he definitely wouldn't have believed it.
Lin Fan knew that the Alliance wouldn't let their nine-star general die here. Nine-star generals weren't cabbage and one dead meant that there would be one less. Moreover, during the You City battle, numerous nine-star generals had been sacrificed.
The other defense cities chose to proactively strike the Alliance's camp and they killed some generals over on their side.
This was why the Alliance paid a really heavy price to break through into the Rich Land.
Since Chi Xiao was willing to negotiate, then it was indeed possible for him to have a good chat with him.
"Before talking about heavy topics, let me give you a finger heart." Lin Fan raised his hands and did a finger heart.
When he saw such insulting actions, Chi Xiao was furious.
He took in a deep breath to suppress the rage in his heart. He then said, "Can you be more serious? If you don't want to talk, then we won't. The Alliance will definitely not let you off."
Lin Fan shook his head, "That is a bummer. Can't you even take a joke? Relax, you don't have to worry too much. I don't care whether or not you let me off. Even if you do, I am not willing to let all of you off."
Chi Xiao frowned. What a difficult person, he was not as easy to deal with compared to normal young people.
Till now, they hadn't had any practical or useful interactions, it was just Lin Fan angering Chi Xiao.
He didn't say anything insulting but his attitude and tone made one feel really annoyed.
Iron Dragon who was kneeling on the ground said, "As an Alliance nine-star general, I am not afraid of dying. If the Alliance suffers losses to keep me alive, then I would rather die."
He was really valiant and righteous, willing to sacrifice himself for the Alliance.
When the people over at the Alliance heard these words, they were filled with respect towards him. They wanted to roar out in rage and they wanted the whole world to see that this was a nine-star general of the Alliance.
He didn't fear death!
Lin Fan said, "If you really aren't afraid of death, then why don't you just knock into the wall and die? What is the point of saying all of this?"
Iron Dragon raised his head and looked at Lin Fan.
Damn!
He didn't care about Lin Fan. He just lowered his head and didn't say much.
This kid was just too much. In just a short conversation, he told him to knock the wall and die? Have you ever seen a Dao Realm expert who could die from knocking into a wall?
If that was really possible, then why don't you try?
However, he was too lazy to say anything more.
Anyway, it was useless to say much more. Now, it was Chi Xiao who was talking to Lin Fan, and what happened next would depend on the conversation.
Chi Xiao was satisfied with what Iron Dragon said and felt like it was how an Alliance nine-star general would behave. He said, "Lin Fan, stop wasting time. Just make your request. The Alliance Headquarters will not give up on any of our commoners."
"Since that is the case, then I won't talk any nonsense with you. I heard that your techniques are decent. I don't have much of a request. Just give me 100 techniques and I can release them." Lin Fan said.
The air suddenly froze.
One could hear the sound of a pin drop over at the Alliance. All of them opened their mouths wide like they didn't expect him to say such a request.
In their eyes, this native kid was really greedy.
Not only were Chi Xiao and the others stunned but even Iron Dragon was stunned too.
He really wanted to shout out loud that Lin Fan was just dreaming.
But for some reason, he suddenly wanted to see how the Alliance would reply.
Maybe this was Iron Dragon wanting to know how important he was in the hearts of others.
Chi Xiao laughed coldly, "Kid, don't you think your request is too much? If you have no desire to negotiate, then don't waste time. 100 nine-star general techniques, you really have the balls to ask."
That was out of hand. That was really too much.
He didn't even know how this kid had the face to make such a request.
Chi Xiao wasn't a fool.
Even if they gave 100 techniques to him, he might not release Iron Dragon.
"This is my one and only request. If the Alliance can't do it, then there is no point in negotiating." Lin Fan said, "Hais, how sad. A Dao Realm stage two Alliance nine-star general actually can't compare to these techniques."
Iron Dragon looked at Lin Fan's face and really wanted to burst his head open.
100 techniques really sounded very simple from his mouth.
If they really gave it to him, then they would be strengthening the enemy.
Chi Xiao said, "Lin Fan, there is no need for you to say such words to rile him up. I can't give you 100. I can give at most 10, but it has to be face to face. Otherwise, how will I know whether you will go against it?"
Lin Fan smiled. He obviously knew what Chi Xiao was planning.
"I realized that your Alliance is so despicable. You can even ask for a face to face trade. Can you guys have some shame? I am familiar with all your tricks. Don't you just want to meet me and kill me?"
"Do you really think that I am as dumb as you?"
"Stop talking so much. It depends on whether or not each of us are sincere. Just tell me the details of the techniques through the video call."
Lin Fan lacked many techniques, especially those of the Dao Realm. He just wanted to get as many as he could but he felt like it was impossible to get them from Chi Xiao.
With how cunning the Alliance was, they were on the same level as him. Wait no, the righteous Lin Fan couldn't match up with the cunning Alliance.
Iron Dragon felt really sad.
Iron Dragon felt like they were delaying time. Chi Xiao didn't think of a way to save him and this kid also didn't have any plans of letting him go.
It was like both sides were trying to trap one another.
Chi Xiao asked, "Then, how do I know whether you will keep to your word?"
Lin Fan said, "Do I look like a dishonest person?"
The atmosphere felt really suppressed.
There was no way for the conversation to continue.
Lin Fan ran the conversation down into the ground and didn't give them anything to say.
Chi Xiao kept silent for a long while before saying, "If that is the case, then I don't think that we have much to talk about. You don't trust the Alliance, so how can the Alliance trust you."
"General Iron Dragon, what do you want to say?"
Iron Dragon's gaze was a little lost. He felt that the situation was a bit off. With what Chi Xiao said, it seemed he wasn't prepared to save him.
If he really wanted to save him, he wouldn't speak so much nonsense.
What do you want to say?
That was a really complex problem.
He kept saying that he was willing to give up his life for the Alliance, but that would depend on the scenario. If it was just for techniques, then that was totally unneeded and his death wasn't worth it at all.
"Chi Xiao, I will follow your decision." Iron Dragon pushed the problem to Chi Xiao. He wouldn't make a decision about his own life. "I have not yet brought victory for the Alliance. I thought that I would have been able to die while opening up a new pathway for the Alliance. Who knew that I would actually die because of this kid? I really don't want to."
Damn, as expected, that was really the case.
Chi Xiao knew what Iron Dragon was thinking. This old fellow's words sounded nice, but actually, deep down he really wasn't willing to die.
But he definitely wouldn't believe that Lin Fan would stick to his word. Even if he gave the secret technique to Lin Fan, Lin Fan would really kill Iron Dragon.
This was a nine-star general, not a random person. A dead nine-star general would be a huge loss to the Alliance. As long as the native had a brain, he wouldn't release that person.
Moreover, the Alliance wasn't prepared to keep to their promise either.
If the Alliance really met Lin Fan face to face to trade the person and the techniques, he would definitely kill this person or capture him to threaten Lin Wanyi.
"Chi Xiao, I am too lazy to waste time with you. I will only give you 10 seconds. If you are willing, then give it to me, otherwise, I will send him on his way on behalf of the Alliance." Lin Fan said.
"Let the countdown begin."
"10…"
Iron Dragon panicked and his heart was beating quickly in trepidation. Lin Fan pressed down with his palm to suppress all the energy surging out of Iron Dragon's body so that none of it could be released.
Over on the side of the Alliance.
"General Chi Xiao, are we really not saving Iron Dragon?" Xiao Hu asked.
Chi Xiao replied, "Do you think that if we give him the techniques he will be honest and release Iron Dragon? Stop dreaming. You know how cunning they are. If they were really so foolish, then the Alliance wouldn't have had to sacrifice so many nine-star generals."
"Each nine-star general's technique is really precious. If we give it to them, they can find our weaknesses from it. When that happens, not only will we lose Iron Dragon, but we will also make them stronger."
Xiao Hu kept silent. General Chi Xiao's words made sense but he felt unwilling to just abandon Iron Dragon like that.
"Xiao Hu, sometimes we have to make sacrifices. Although this is a huge loss for the Alliance, I believe that they are ready to make that sacrifice."
"We just need to remember that dying for the Alliance is an honor."
Pata!
Chi Xiao lifted his hand and cut off the connection.
Black screen.
Lin Fan looked at Iron Dragon before raising his hand and pointing at the screen, "They have given up on you."
Iron Dragon's pupils constricted like he didn't expect Chi Xiao to give up on him so quickly.
This was different from what he had expected.
"That is impossible." Iron Dragon really didn't know how to react.
Lin Fan said, "Nothing is impossible but maybe to the Alliance Headquarters, your value is just in laying out this equipment. If anything happens they will definitely abandon you. They won't place any hopes on all of you."
Iron Dragon didn't reply to Lin Fan.
He was shouting in his heart.
That was impossible.
I have done so much for the Alliance, so how can they just abandon me like that?
Report chapter
Chapter 408: You Are An Honest Person
Lin Fan was a little disappointed. The Alliance dogs weren't fools. 100 techniques were impossible, and in the end, they weren't even willing to give him 10. That was just hurtful.
A few techniques didn't mean much but the key was the trust between humans.
The Alliance dogs had totally hurt his heart.
Pa!
Lin Fan struck Iron Dragon's head with the back of the blade.
"I am asking you, do you want to die?"
Iron Dragon's heart suffered from that huge blow and he was immersed in pain and sadness. Lin Fan's strike caused his entire brain to shake and he nearly blacked out.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Fan.
He wanted to say that as an Alliance nine-star general he didn't fear death and it was his honor to die for the Alliance.
But if he said that now wouldn't he just look like a fool?
He was a nine-star general! If he said something else, wouldn't he lose all his face?
Seeing that he didn't reply, Lin Fan was annoyed, "I am talking to you. Do you want to live or die?"
Iron Dragon kept silent for a while before replying, "Everyone has the right to live. Those who have the choice but choose to die aren't worthy of being humans n the next life. Making that choice is a blasphemy of life and you will have to pay the price for it."
Pa!
Lin Fan smacked Iron Dragon's head in rage, "Stop saying such useless things. Just tell me whether or not you want to die. What is the point in saying all this nonsense?"
Iron Dragon was a little angry. Although they were from opposing camps, at his age, he could be Lin Fan's grandfather. His treatment toward him was just so disrespectful.
"I want to live."
Normally speaking, if one looked deep into their heart, they would find what they wanted the most.
Iron Dragon could tell anyone that he wasn't someone who was afraid of dying.
But deep down, his answer was different.
At that moment, there was a productive breakthrough on Gou'zi's side.
Those Alliance members didn't dare to hide anything anymore.
They revealed the thing about the equipment as well as all the places where they were buried.
Originally, they had some hope.
But since the Alliance Headquarters and even Iron Dragon had given up, what else could they do?
Iron Dragon looked at them and had many things to say. But at this point, he really didn't know what to say.
It didn't make sense to say that they betrayed the Alliance Headquarters. After all, the Alliance Headquarters gave up on them.
Gou'zi left the room to dig up those things.
Over at the Alliance Headquarters, Chi Xiao was hesitating. He closed the video to express that Alliance Headquarters wasn't planning to compromise.
But now, there wasn't much time left.
Chi Xiao was prepared to have a good chat with Lin Fan. Some things depended solely on negotiation.
The fact that Lin Fan needed nine-star general cultivation techniques meant that they had a breakthrough point. He could use that to convince Lin Fan.
Chi Xiao clicked on the screen.
"Outside range of server."
"???"
Chi Xiao was confused. It was okay just now, but why was it like this now?
"General, the signal at Valley City disappeared." An Alliance member reported the situation.
There was only one explanation for the loss of the signal which was that the people over at Valley City revealed where the equipment was hidden and the enemy had destroyed it.
"They have actually betrayed the Alliance." Chi Xiao's face was dark and sunken with rage. He was confident in the Alliance members and thought that no matter what kind of dangers they faced, they wouldn't betray them. But it seemed like he was just overthinking it.
Xiao Hu said, "Actually, we can't blame them."
Switching off the video represented the fact that the Alliance Headquarters had given up on them. Weren't their actions expected?
"How can we not blame them? They are such cowards. If it was me, even if I was tortured to death, I wouldn't betray the Alliance." Chi Xiao said confidently.
When Xiao Hu saw how serious Chi Xiao was, for some reason, he actually hoped that Chi Xiao would end up in such a situation just to see how he would react.
He was actually quite curious.
He shook his head and tossed such impractical thoughts to the back of his mind.
"We need to report this to the Alliance Headquarters. Lin Wanyi's son has appeared in Valley City and this is very practical news. We can send experts over to investigate where he is." Xiao Hu said.
"Eh."
Chi Xiao nodded his head and agreed. However, his heart was filled with rage. Each time he thought about Lin Fan's face, he became extremely furious.
Within the inn, Lin Fan lifted Iron Dragon's chin. He looked really weird but it didn't matter as he was about to have a good chat with him.
He couldn't get any techniques from Chi Xiao but he could try to get some from Iron Dragon.
After all, he was Dao Realm stage two.
No matter what, he had to have some secret techniques, right?
Iron Dragon was filled with a sense of humiliation. Damn, he actually fell to this kid.
"You have only two options in front of you. One is to die and the other is to tell me all the Dao Realm techniques that you have learned and I'll let you live." Lin Fan said.
Iron Dragon looked at Lin Fan and after hesitating for a while, he still didn't know whether to trust him or not.
However, the situation now was really obvious.
No matter whether he believed him or not, he only had those few choices. If he chose death, he would definitely die. The second option posed a 50% possibility of death.
Should he have taken the gamble?
Any normal person would have.
"Lin Fan, to have such cultivation at such a young age, you are a dragon amongst men. This world won't be able to stop you. Maybe the Alliance might just be a small test for you in life."
"I just entered this place from Alliance land and have never killed a native, nor have I killed any one of you."
"So, I choose the second option."
Iron Dragon's expression was solemn like he had made a huge decision. He really didn't want to die and held that last bit of hope. But he wasn't sure whether or not Lin Fan could be trusted. Was he just lying?
Lin Fan was satisfied with Iron Dragon's choice. "You don't need to write it down, just describe it."
The technique he lacked was from Dao Realm. Although other techniques made sense, for his current cultivation, Dao Realm techniques were much better.
The merging function was really decent.
He could merge two cultivation techniques into one, and at the same time, he could raise the grade of a technique.
But some techniques couldn't be improved like Domain Realm ones.
Maybe he was lacking something.
Iron Dragon cultivated a total of two Dao Realm techniques. They were ones he had gotten from the Alliance Headquarters when he became a nine-star general.
Lin Fan realized that the techniques that the Alliance trained in were not much different from them.
Was this the case of how martial arts were similar? Or that all martial arts were based on the same thing?
Of course, no one studied that, so no one knew when martial arts had started. It was as if it had always naturally existed.
Lin Fan was satisfied. He had gained two techniques from nowhere. As for the Alliance, that was such a waste and the negotiation wasn't successful.
If it was, he could have solved his problem regarding the lack of techniques.
"Can you let us leave now?" Iron Dragon asked.
Lin Fan squinted as he looked at Iron Dragon and the people around. He was thinking about whether or not to let them go.
The Alliance's survival brought them many problems. Many of their people who weren't afraid to die went to fight against the Alliance and died as a result.
Deep down he didn't want to.
But since he agreed, it would be despicable if he went back on his word.
As a rich family Young Master, Lin Fan's character was definitely okay.
"Okay, I will let all of you leave but before that, I have to do something."
The moment he said this, Lin Fan's Dao patterns appeared and surged into his body. They shattered Iron Dragon's Dao patterns and turned him into a useless person.
"You…"
Iron Dragon raised his head and looked at Lin Fan in disbelief. At the same time, he was furious. Didn't this mean that he was no different from a mortal?
Lin Fan glanced and said calmly, "Don't be unhappy. I wanted to kill you but since I agree, then I won't go against my word. I shall remove your cultivation in case you hurt more people."
A Dao Realm expert was shockingly destructive.
If he really wanted to cause damage, he would be able to destroy a city in the blink of an eye.
"We are so weak, so there is no need to do so, right?" The Alliance members said.
They weren't strong and they felt like it was no different whether or not their cultivation was trashed.
"I promised that if you told me where the equipment was, I would let all of you live." Lin Fan said and nodded towards Gou'zi.
Gou'zi understood, instantly attacking and killing those people.
Iron Dragon saw this and exclaimed, "Didn't you say that you would let them live?"
Lin Fan said, "Gou'zi, what are you doing?"
"Young Master, I wasn't paying attention," Gou'zi said innocently.
Lin Fan sighed, "Forget it then. After all, you can't revive the dead. I can't ask you to kill yourself for forgiveness too."
Iron Dragon opened his mouth and didn't know how to reply. He wanted to say something but he felt like his body had lost all strength. He was powerless and his hands draped down. He understood that they were just meat on the chopping board. Even if they wanted to resist, they could only shout and scream.
To Lin Fan, he could let Iron Dragon live but those tech members had to die. Without cultivation, Iron Dragon was like a useless person, but if the tech people lost their cultivation, their skills still existed and they could still serve the Alliance.
Being merciful and letting enemies live wasn't his style.
"Gou'zi, pack up and let's go." Lin Fan pushed open the door and left the inn. As for Gou'zi, he packed up the Alliance's items and followed behind.
Lin Fan was still afraid in the end.
With his location revealed, if the Alliance headquarters sent people over, then that would be a huge problem. As such, it was best if he left right away.
Pata!
Iron Dragon laid paralyzed on the ground. His body was devoid of strength. He had never felt this feeling before and he knew that he was now no different from a mortal. Even if he returned to the Alliance, no one would be willing to treat him well. No one would even care about him.
To Iron Dragon, what he had to worry about now was not how to return to the Alliance, but how to pay for the broken wall.
Report chapter
Chapter 409: That Is Just So Tragic
Lin Fan and Gou'zi left late at night not because they were cowards but because this was a strategic move; there was no need for him to take the risk to wait in Valley City.
In his words, doing that wouldn't be bravery but stupidity.
He also had no idea whether or not the Alliance Headquarters would send experts to rush through the dimension to get to them. It was best if they didn't send anyone, but if they did, then what could they do?
As for whether or not the powerless Iron Dragon would be beaten to death in a foreign land, that was uncertain too. Lin Fan also didn't want to worry too much about that.
Not long after Lin Fan left the inn, the manager brought the attendant and snuck up. They were afraid. But when they saw that there was only an old man on the ground, they became much bolder.
As for those corpses, Lin Fan had transferred them into the dimension.
When the manager saw that the wall of the inn was shattered, he furiously demanded Iron Dragon to pay. Iron Dragon still hadn't adjusted his mentality between the general and trash and so he scolded the manager.
The manager was shocked by Iron Dragon's shouting and didn't expect the old man to be so rude.
How could he accept that?
He directly told the attendant to beat him up.
Iron Dragon laughed coldly. To think ants dared to fight a dragon. But very quickly, tragedy struck.
He realized that he was a powerless old man. He couldn't beat a single ant much less a bunch of them. He felt like if this continued, he was going to die.
Begging was useless and the manager only wanted money to pay for the wall.
But as a nine-star general, when he was outside he wasn't the one paying. The key was that he couldn't take anything out from his dimension.
That was just awkward.
He had lost all his cultivation and was just a useless mortal.
If he knew that this would happen he should have taken some money out. But no matter what, it was too late now.
In this world, killing someone was not a rarity or a problem anymore.
The Imperial Dynasty's control couldn't reach Valley City.
But the manager was a kind person.
He told the attendant to stop as he was afraid that he would kill him. At the same time, he gave Iron Dragon a chance to be an attendant in the inn. No, he couldn't be an attendant as he was too old. At most he could only wash plates.
Iron Dragon was just so dejected.
A second ago, he was a nine-star general and now he was a dishwasher. The difference between the two was a little huge.
Outside of Valley City.
"Young Master, rest first. I will keep a lookout." Gou'zi had reached Dao Realm. If his energy control wasn't perfect enough, Lin Fan would have raised it to Dao Realm Stage One.
Through this, he realized how terrifying the Chief God faith was.
He lent his own strength but it didn't affect him personally. Other Chief Gods wouldn't dare to lend their own strength to others as they would have been sucked dry.
Not to mention people like Gou'zi with peak faith. The amount of strength he got was just one stage lower than his. Apart from Lin Fan, no one else could support that.
His idea was simple. He would raise his own strength and recruit more believers. If he could raise all their faith to the peak, the power of that army would be amazing.
Even if the Alliance and all the top sects attacked him, they might not have been enough.
"Gou'zi, there is no need to. Your strength control is still too weak, so try to control it as soon as possible. I will push your strength up as anyone who hasn't reached Dao Realm is just an ant." Lin Fan said.
"Yes, Young Master." Gou'zi replied.
With Lin Fan's current strength, if an expert tried to sneak across, he would be able to sense it. If he couldn't, then it would be useless even if Gou'zi was guarding it.
The Alliance Headquarters was in chaos.
Nine-star general Chi Xiao informed them about what happened in Valley City.
The thing that they cared most about was Lin Fan's strength.
The Alliance Headquarters Meeting Room.
Numerous nine-star generals were here with solemn expressions. Each of them had a set of data and there was a picture of Lin Fan in the column.
"Dao Realm Stage Two. He is very young at approximately 20. Even if he started training from the womb, that would be impossible."
One of the higher ranking nine-star generals said. He hadn't been through the You City battle and belonged to those who were afraid to die. When there were matters he would let others go first while he would shout and cheer from the back.
Zhu Daoshen thought about it and said, "Yes, I remember what happened in You City. Mao Shentai fought this kid one on one and we thought that with his cultivation, it would be easy to kill him. The outcome, however, was that they fought for a long time and he didn't manage to kill the kid. At that time, the kid had already reached Dao Realm."
The moment he said this, everyone in the meeting room was shocked and restless.
"How is that possible? He shouldn't be so strong at his age. Or does Lin Wanyi have a way to raise cultivation quickly? All of our brains shouldn't be worse than one boorish fellow."
Lin Wanyi's nickname was quite famous over on the side of the Alliance.
He had never studied and he spoke really rudely and crudely. It was a real surprise that he could cultivate to such a realm.
"I can ensure you that it is true." Wu Zhige said. If it wasn't for the Valley City matter, then he would have forgotten about this kid.
After all one would naturally think that anyone weaker than him was trash and didn't need to be held in high regard. But what he forgot to take into account was his age.
"Why didn't you mention such an important thing then?"
All the Alliance nine-star generals blamed him. Actually, they weren't really blaming, but they all felt that this was a huge problem.
Wu Zhige said, "I forgot because he was a little weak, so I didn't worry much about him."
Keke!
Someone laughed coldly.
"Wu Zhige, your actions might have helped to develop a terrifying enemy for the Alliance someday. Lin Wanyi alone has lost us so many nine star generals. His son is so young and has reached such a realm. In just a few more years or even a decade, what do you think will happen?"
"I don't have to make things more obvious than that, right?"
Everyone kept silent. They weren't fools and obviously understood what was being said.
If they just let Lin Fan develop, in less than a decade, the Alliance would have to face an invincible expert.
It might have seemed impossible but talent was a really uncertain thing.
The Alliance understood that the birth of an expert would require 100% hard work but sometimes the world wasn't logical. Talented people could just eat and have fun each day, yet their cultivation would be like a speeding car, surging into the sky.
Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige looked at one another with solemn looks appearing in their eyes.
Before this, they really didn't care much about Lin Fan.
If Chi Xiao didn't send this message up the train, they wouldn't have cared much about it.
"Based on the current situation, can the Alliance send people to surround him and kill him while we still can?" Wu Zhige asked.
"That is for sure, we can't let this kid live. But the Alliance hasn't occupied the native territory and it will be dangerous to just enter. We should spread the message out for those top sects to attack him and settle him. Naturally, the Alliance has to put in some effort into this matter too." A bearded nine-star general said.
The moment he suggested it, many people agreed.
He was really cunning.
He used the pressure on those top sects.
Pressure that there was such a person alive. The top sects definitely wouldn't let him live and they would send experts to kill Lin Fan.
The uncertain element in all this was just too terrifying.
When Lin Fan was deep asleep, the Alliance started to plan things.
If he knew that the Alliance paid attention to him because of the Valley City matter, he would be very happy.
Damn, that was just so exciting.
Didn't that mean that he didn't need to head out to find trouble with others and people would just come to him?
At the same time, he would gain more rage points too.
After all, it was normal for others to be envious and jealous of him.
The next day, Lin Fan woke up. Gou'zi hadn't slept for the whole night and was controlling his own strength. The Domain Realm strength was just too enormous for Gou'zi, and naturally, he needed some time to adapt to it.
"Go, let's remove the equipment that the Alliance has placed in our territory."
Last night, the people who Gou'zi interrogated revealed everything.
The Alliance's technology was quite problematic and it was best if he didn't look down on it. Otherwise, all their tracks would fall into the hands of the Alliance.
Now, he had to develop Martial Path Mountain.
Valley City belonged to one of the cities within the range of Martial Path Mountain.
Now, all the sects were occupying the land. Since they loved to expand their territory so much he would play with them. In the end, he would see who occupied more land.
"Young Master, there is a tea house in front, let's head over to rest."
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Gou'zi wasn't tired but because Young Master was a precious person, he had to rest.
"Eh."
He realized that area around was really safe. Along the way, they also went to remove the signal equipments.
Pata!
"Sir, please give me some food, I…"
A beggar laid on the road. No matter who passed, he would reach out to grab his shoes and call him Sir.
Lin Fan lowered his head. Gou'zi wanted to chase the beggar away but when he saw the face, he was shocked. "Young Master, he is Liang Yongqi. "
The beggar heard someone call him and his body shook. When he raised his head and saw Lin Fan's face, tears welled in his eyes.
Lin Fan was stunned and didn't expect to see Liang Yongqi here.
Truthfully, in his mind, he had thought about many possibilities of Liang Yongqi. The most probable one was that he would work hard after realizing that everyone in You City was dead. He would be determined to become an expert and then he would obtain many lucky breaks.
On a certain day, he would proudly step out and walk on the clouds.
Looking at the situation, his guess was totally wrong.
As expected, it was a lie.
Where would there be so many lucky breaks in life?
But based on what he knew, Liang Yongqi was Martial Path Grade Four. Even in the worst case, he shouldn't have been a beggar, right?
Report chapter
Chapter 410: What Has He Gone Through?
Tea stall.
Liang Yongqi buried his head and swept all the food in front of him. The tea, a bun, all of them were refilled constantly. He was really wolfing down all the food.
Gou'zi really couldn't bear to watch him. What did he actually go through to turn into this?
Lin Fan didn't ask about the specific situation and just let him to eat more. He really looked like someone who hadn't eaten in a very long time.
But there was something he couldn't understand.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't have happened.
Liang Yongqi wasn't strong but he was Martial Path Grade Four. Compared to normal people, that was much better, so why was his life so sad now?
Liang Yongqi shoved the food into his mouth. He ate a bun in one bite and then drank a cup of tea. He ate 10 of them in a row before burping. He was resting in the chair while he looked up and tried to calm himself down.
"Slow down, there is no need to be in such a rush." Liang Yongqi was afraid that Liang Yongqi would choke on a bun.
Liang Yongqi drank a mouthful of tea, "I am fine, I am full now."
Liang Yongqi was also a rich family young master and had never gone hungry. Moreover, he rarely ate buns and usually ate those delicacies.
Lin Fan asked him straight up, "Where did you go after Martial Path Mountain? Although your cultivation isn't high, you shouldn't be going through such a bad life, right? You actually became a beggar and had no food to eat at all."
Liang Yongqi sighed, "This is a long story. I have never imagined and dared to imagine what I have gone through. After leaving Martial Path Mountain, I went to You City but as you said, the Alliance had occupied that place. I was too weak and if they found me I was basically dead. So, I didn't dare to step up…"
He said many things and mainly described what he went through after he arrived in You City.
The overall description was quite clear.
It was indeed very tragic.
Liang Yongqi didn't find his family's corpse in You City. At the same time, that place was too dangerous with the Alliance members patrolling around the clock. With how weak he was, obviously he didn't dare to behave arrogantly.
He then returned along the same path.
On the way, he faced some trouble.
He bumped into some bandits.
Martial Path Grade Four seemed decent but facing bandits, he was a useless normal person.
Not only did they steal all his silver, but because he didn't have as much silver as the bandits had expected, he was badly beaten up.
If that was solely the case, then it would be still alright.
He also faced dangers outdoors and nearly died. When he managed to flee, he was devoid of energy and injured.
Along with You City being destroyed and his family's situation unknown, he broke down.
He was prepared to die just like that.
Liang Yongqi and Gou'zi looked at one another and sympathized with what Liang Yongqi went through.
Unlucky, he was just too unlucky.
"Yongqi, no matter what, you are the grand disciple of Martial Path Mountain. As a Sect Leader, I feel heartpained for you. It is good that you are back. Just stay in Martial Path Mountain and don't think about too much."
Lin Fan consoled him.
What else could he do? Since things had already happened, then it was good that he was still alive.
"Wu wu wu!"
Liang Yongqi cried. Maybe after going through those things, his mental state worsened. When he met Lin Fan and Gou'zi, he couldn't help but tear up.
Gou'zi consoled him and patted his back. What a pitiful kid.
He was totally different from the young master Liang that always quarreled with him in You City.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, Liang Yongqi noticed something. Originally, Liang Yongqi didn't have any faith but now, faith was actually produced.
Although it was the lowest quality grey faith, that was enough to show that it was a good start.
The only thing was that the faith production was quite weird. He didn't do anything, so why was there faith?
Was it because he had suffered a lot outside and his arrival was like a god appearing in his life. Was it because he gave Liang Yongqi hope which was why there was faith?
That was possible. Maybe if he had the chance he could study it even deeper.
"Look at that man crying there. He is so ugly."
At this moment, an unfriendly voice spread from the side.
Lin Fan saw an old man along with three younger people. The one who spoke was a girl who judged Liang Yongqi's actions like she was mocking him.
The old man didn't stop her. After looking at Lin Fan and the others, he didn't hold them in any regard.
The other two guys just laughed and didn't say anything.
They weren't going to eat in the tea shop, they were just passing by.
When Lin Fan heard the girl's words, he was a little annoyed.
Liang Yongqi was Martial Path Mountain's grand disciple. You, an outsider, dared to mock him? That was the same as mocking Martial Path Mountain.
If this was before, he really wouldn't argue with that girl.
But it was totally different now.
He wanted to develop Martial Path Mountain and treated that matter really seriously. Especially with Liang Yongqi's identity and status. To others, it might not have been important, but in Martial Path Mountain, it was extremely significant.
"So what if he is crying? What does it have to do with you? Even if he looks ugly he isn't uglier than you." Lin Fan glanced at her and replied without giving her any face at all.
Eh?
The entire place was silent.
The group of them who were walking away stopped.
The girl didn't expect him to dare retort her. She was so furious that her face turned red.
The old man squinted and stared at Lin Fan. He said calmly, "Young man, you should speak less. Problems arise because you talk too much."
"Keke." Lin Fan glanced at him. "Problems have appeared more than once, but as they say the problems that arise have all ended up disappearing. May I ask what problems you are referring to?"
When he was in You City he was already so harsh but that was because he had his father supporting him.
Today, those conflicts were mostly gone.
He didn't need anyone to support him now.
This was because he was able to settle most things with his current strength. As for those things he couldn't solve, it would mean that people like Zhu Daoshen had appeared.
But now that he was Dao Realm Stage Two Dimension Control, it was tough to kill him. If he wanted to run, without 3 or 4 top expert blocking him, he wouldn't be stopped.
"You are asking to die."
The two guys standing behind the old man were pissed.
This young man was actually so arrogant.
He was pretty much asking to die.
But right as they were about to attack, the old man stopped them.
The old man said, "Kid, don't you think that you are a little hot-tempered? Young people should be low profile especially before your wings grow. Otherwise, you will bring unneeded trouble to yourself."
Shortly after, the old man laughed out loud.
"I didn't expect that I would talk so much to such a kid. This is a good opportunity for you."
Lin Fan looked at the old man act cool and didn't expose the old man. He just wanted to see how long the old man would continue to do that. The reason being was that he felt like the old man was a little proud.
"Are you done?" Lin Fan asked.
The old man's expression changed and it was obvious that he was stunned by those words.
For some reason, he even wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood.
His words were just so infuriating.
The two young men behind him clenched their fists and veins appeared on their necks. They were so furious that they wanted to beat Lin Fan up.
Too much.
It was just too much.
What they hated the most was people acting arrogantly in front of them. Such an arrogant person was just an animal.
"Kid, do you know who this is? If you don't know, I can tell you. He is Celestial Ascending Sect Elder Zhang Xuan and has extraordinary abilities. Him talking to you is already your blessing. You not only didn't cherish it, but are also provoking him?"
When the guy introduced the old man, for some reason he straightened his back. He was introducing other people but it felt like he was introducing himself.
Celestial Ascending Sect?
Lin Fan had never heard of such a sect but felt a little confused. This place was not under any sect. Although it was under the Imperial Dynasty, they didn't really manage this place.
What was this Celestial Ascending Sect doing here?
Were they here to snatch territory?
That might have been a possibility.
"Celestial Ascending Sect is an elder, so is your Celestial Ascending Sect considered a top sect?" Lin Fan asked.
He had to understand the background of this Celestial Ascending Sect.
If they were a top sect, then he would have to treat them seriously.
If they weren't, then he didn't need to worry and would just casually deal with them.
Zhang Xuan said, "But you are right, we are indeed a top sect. You should know that in such a secluded area, you might still meet someone you can't afford to offend."
"Since you are young, I don't want to bully you. Kneel and apologize to my disciple and I will let this matter go."
The girl said unhappily, "Master, he insulted me. Even if he kowtows to me, it won't make me feel any better. I want him to become my slave."
"Junior Sister, what is the point of leaving him by your side?" The guy said. He didn't want any guy by her side as that would make things awkward.
When Gou'zi heard their words, he looked towards them with a dark and sunken gaze.
These people actually treated Young Master as sheep to the slaughter.
If Young Master hadn't allowed him to attack, he would have definitely taught them a lesson.
As for that old man, his cultivation might have been higher than his. But he didn't fear anything.
Liang Yongqi stopped crying. At the same time, he was stunned. What was going on with these people? He was just crying to the side.
Were they not allowing him to cry at all?
Moreover, he didn't know them, so why did they mock him from so far away?
Now, the Sect Leader was in a conflict with them.
As the grand disciple, he should have jumped out to protect the honor of the sect.
But he knew his situation.
He was just too weak.
It was better if he didn't embarrass himself.

Chapter 411: I, Zhang Xuan, Want To Be Your Close Friend
Lin Fan looked at the old man.
"Old man, you seem like a reasonable person. I don't want to argue with you, so let my disciple kowtow to him and apologize. I will let this matter slip and won't demand anything more."
He thought about it for a moment.
From start til now, the old man didn't do anything too much. But there was something he couldn't forgive him for.
That was because the Celestial Ascending Sect was a top sect.
Since he was from a top sect, he had to be beaten up. Not only because of this matter but also because of the You City defense line.
When they were fighting against the Alliance, no top sects came out to help them.
Now that the defense line had been broken and the Imperial Dynasty's ruler had changed, those top sects all came out. Just thinking about it made him furious.
Zhang Xuan was stunned by Lin Fan's words.
He really didn't expect him to say that.
"Kid, you didn't listen to what I've been saying to you. Do you think that I am a patient person?" Zhang Xuan was furious. There was a reason why he wanted to say so much to this kid.
He wanted to experience what it was like to be worshipped by a junior.
Everyone wanted to experience that at least once.
Unfortunately, one had to be skilled to experience that.
"Eh? Based on what you are saying, do you think I am patient?" Lin Fan squinted and a terrifying aura exploded from his body. At the same time, he activated his domain, causing the sky around to change color. Everything became grey and blurry.
A huge pressure smashed into their bodies.
The old man frowned and the three young people behind him started to break out into a cold sweat. But very quickly, the old man reacted and helped them to block the pressure.
Lin Fan got up and said, "Let me introduce to you, the person your disciple insulted is the grand disciple of my sect. I am the Sect Leader. The fact that she insulted him means she is slapping my face. My request is quite simple already; kneel and apologize and I will let her off."
Zhang Xuan said, "I didn't expect to have misjudged."
He looked really calm when he said that.
But actually, he was shocked. That was because Lin Fan was just too young.
"It isn't that you have misjudged but because I am a low profile person. Your high profile made me annoyed. I wanted to let things pass but you all were just too much." Lin Fan said.
The girl was a little nervous, "Master, I…"
Zhang Xuan raised his hand, "Don't worry, you are my disciple. I won't let others bully you."
His words made her heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, she proudly raised her head and looked at Lin Fan in annoyance. It was as if she was provoking him and tempting him to try to mess with her.
As for making her kneel down?
Stop dreaming about it…
That was just impossible.
Lin Fan was angered by that gaze. He touched his face. Had his looks changed again after his strength increased such that others felt that he was someone who was easy to bully?
Eh.
That was possible.
This was why Lin Fan didn't want to say any more nonsense. He gathered his aura, avoiding the old man, and sending it towards the girl.
Kacha!
There was the sound of something breaking.
The protective layer the old man had on the girl shattered.
"You dare to do that?" The old man was furious like he didn't expect that Lin Fan would do that.
Peng!
The girl cried out. She couldn't take the pressure. Her knees bent and she fell to the ground.
As for the two guys beside her, their faces turned white from fear. It was as if they didn't dare to believe what they were looking at.
Oh my god.
Damn.
Just now they were actually thinking about attacking to teach this arrogant kid a lesson.
Now, it seemed like they were thinking too much and that they were asking to get beaten up if they tried.
"Why do I not dare?" Lin Fan reached out and ripped open the dimension. He reached in with his hand and shortly after, his palm appeared above her head. He grabbed it and pulled, pulling her right in front of him.
The changes in that blink of an eye caused the old man's expression to change. He exclaimed.
"Dao Realm Stage Two."
Lin Fan ripped open the dimension which was quite unexpected for the old man.
From that, the old man could see his cultivation.
"Master, save me." The girl cried and shouted.
Lin Fan frowned, "People who cry are so annoying."
Gou'zi understood right away. He took off his shoes and his socks, then opened her mouth and shoved his sock in.
The sock wasn't white; in fact, it was actually quite soiled… It was so black that it was even a bit shiny…
"Gou'zi, you…"
Lin Fan looked at Gou'zi in shock. He really didn't expect Gou'zi to be so sharp, to take off his socks right away and shove them into her mouth.
This girl looked really beautiful but her personality was not ideal.
Lin Fan didn't know how to cherish and dote on beauties but at least he wouldn't torture them like that.
Who knew that Gou'zi would do such an overbearing thing? He was so amazing that Lin Fan didn't know what to say.
"Junior Sister…"
When the two guys saw this, they felt an intense pain in their hearts, like someone had stabbed a knife right in.
They actually placed such a dirty thing into her mouth.
But her mouth was something they wanted to kiss.
The girl's face was filled with shock. Her pupils constricted as an intense smell surged into her nose. It was so smelly that she nearly fainted.
She was overcome with embarrassment and rage simultaneously.
With a loud thud, she fainted and fell to the ground.
Zhang Xuan didn't say a word from start to finish and just continued to look at what had happened.
"Wait, I have something to say." Zhang Xuan opened up. When he found out that Lin Fan was Dao Realm Stage Two, his view changed.
At the same time, he felt a fiery pain on his face.
He was acting cool just now but this felt like a slap to his face.
Lin Fan retracted his aura and everything around them turned back to normal. As for the others in the teahouse, all of them had fled long ago.
"Just say what you want." Lin Fan looked at him and expressed that he could speak up.
What he thought about was really simple.
Should he go to war with Celestial Ascending Sect?
Top sects were really strong and if he started, then he wouldn't be able to turn back. Either he would die or they would die.
But there was one safer alternative: to kill all of them.
Celestial Ascending Sect would investigate it and they would send an endless number of people to hunt him down. That was just great.
Zhang Xuan's face became solemn, "I shall apologize for my disciple here. This was a small thing, so we have no reason to become enemies just because of that."
"My Celestial Ascending Sect has always been welcoming. I am willing to become your close friend."
Lin Fan smiled, "Look at us now. Do you think we can become close friends?"
Zhang Xuan said, "As they say, people who don't fight won't know each other well. Friends are made through conflicts."
To Zhang Xuan, he understood the situation.
Lin Fan was indeed really strong.
"What you are saying makes sense." Lin Fan said.
Zhang Xuan added, "I don't know whether it makes sense or not but I really like your personality. My disciple is used to being rude and she disregards everyone. Now that you've taught her a lesson, I am very grateful to you."
Damn.
When a person was shameless, there would truly be no limit to their shamelessness.
Like Zhang Xuan, he respected him for how shameless he had become.
But one had to say that, with his expression, one really didn't know whether he meant it or not.
Even Lin Fan was shocked.
Was he speaking the truth?
Zhang Xuan saw through what Lin Fan was thinking and asked, "Can you tell me your name?"
"Lin Fan."
Zhang Xuan thought about it and didn't recall anything related to Lin Fan. He said, "Brother Lin, you must be wondering whether or not I really want to be friends with you. I understand but don't worry, I am really sincere."
"Whether I am sincere will be revealed over time. But I can swear that if I am lying, the heavens will punish me."
The classic oath play was indeed touching and it made one believe them more.
But these were just words.
Even if one went against it they wouldn't face any problems.
Lin Fan just looked directly at Zhang Xuan and was thinking about what to do to obtain the largest gains.
He had to think very carefully about this.
Report chapter
Chapter 412: Senior Lin Is Someone With Class
Luckily, Zhang Xuan was the one who said it. If Lin Fan was the one who said it from the start, the two young men behind him would have jumped out and hollered at him.
"Someone like you wants to be close friends with my elder. Why don't you look in the mirror and see what you look like."
Of course, that was what they thought at the start.
As for now, there was basically no need for them to say anything anymore.
How would they dare to say such words? Lin Fan had terrified them so badly that they didn't dare to speak and or even fart.
Lin Fan's gaze gave Zhang Xuan goosebumps and he felt like his gaze was really invasive and it made him feel really nervous.
If he was to say what he regretted the most, it was allowing his disciple to insult them.
Looking at his disciple now, he didn't know what to say.
She was in a really pitiful state.
That sock was so far away from him and he could still smell that sour scent. As for his disciple that had the sock in her mouth, how serious and tragic was her treatment?
"Are you serious?" Lin Fan felt like this matter could be utilized. Zhang Xuan looked like someone who knew his own place. He knew that he couldn't beat Lin Fan, so he admitted defeat. But to maintain his pride, becoming friends was his best choice.
Zhang Xuan said, "Of course I am serious. As they say, if people don't fight, they don't get close. Just let the past be the past. Moreover, Brother Lin, isn't this a very small thing as well?"
Lin Fan smiled, "You are right, that is truly the case. But I still don't see any sincerity. If you can show me your sincerity, then I will consider it."
"Eh?"
Zhang Xuan was stunned. He panicked a little and felt that something was off. He asked nervously, "Brother Lin, although my disciple is naughty and arrogant, she shouldn't be condemned to death for that, right? If you want me to kill her, I really can't."
Oh my god.
He felt that that was a little too much.
His disciple was a little arrogant but she shouldn't have been condemned to death for that. She should have only been punished for it.
There was no need to be so vicious. Moreover, wasn't shoving such a dirty sock into her mouth enough punishment already?
Lin Fan was stunned by Zhang Xuan's thoughts. What was he thinking? When did he say that he wanted him to kill his disciple?
"What are you even thinking? When did I tell you to kill her? I mean that I lack some Dao Realm techniques and if you want to be my friend, why don't you give me some?" Lin Fan said.
Zhang Xuan was stunned and muttered, "It is better if you kill my disciple."
"What did you say?" Lin Fan frowned and he roughly picked up on what Zhang Xuan was saying but he didn't hear it fully.
"Nothing." Zhang Xuan shook his head. He could only think about it but obviously wouldn't really do it. However, Lin Fan's request was a little too much.
He actually wanted Dao Realm techniques.
As a Celestial Ascending Sect elder, naturally, he didn't lack techniques but if he gave those techniques to others and the sect found out, it would be quite problematic.
"If you don't even have this bit of sincerity and want to be my close friend, you really aren't good enough for it." Lin Fan said.
Even if Zhang Xuan didn't want to tell him, he would make him tell him, but the only thing was that his actions were a little violent.
This was why he hoped that Zhang Xuan could cherish this opportunity.
He couldn't regret it after he lost the opportunity.
Zhang Xuan was a little conflicted as he understood what Lin Fan was thinking.
With the current situation, Lin Fan obviously wanted secret techniques, so his words definitely didn't mean anything. If he didn't give it to him, he might not have been able to safely leave this place.
He was facing a tough situation.
"Okay, I am a generous person to my friends. Since my friend needs it, I won't hesitate." Zhang Xuan was firm when he said this but his heart was bleeding.
Very quickly, Zhang Xuan spoke of the three Dao Realm techniques.
As expected from the elder of a top sect, he managed to take out three right away.
"Brother Lin, what do you think about me? Am I very generous?" Zhang Xuan smiled. The smile was very bright but behind it, there was an expression helplessness and sadness.
"You are generous. I have not seen anyone as generous as you so far."
Lin Fan praised him truthfully.
Anyway, out of all the people he had met, Zhang Xuan would be the top in terms of his ability to judge the situation. He was really decent.
Zhang Xuan smiled. "Brother Lin, now that we are close friends, although we don't have a relationship basis, I believe that as time goes on, our friendship will be tougher than gold."
The two disciples behind him lowered their heads and were a little stunned. Their mouths were slightly opened and they didn't dare to say a word from start to finish.
The development was so weird.
A battle was about to occur but the situation suddenly changed and the elder actually became close friends.
This situation was a little complicated.
They felt that there was a story behind this and the elder was very soft.
Instantly, they thought about something terrifying; the elder couldn't beat him which was why he would take a step back. Thinking about it, that was quite possible.
Lin Fan thought about it.
He didn't do anything much towards Zhang Xuan. Sometimes one really had to use their brains. Zhang Xuan wasn't a fool, so when they interacted with one another, it would be much simpler.
He needed rage points and Dao Realm techniques now.
Celestial Ascending Sect was a top sect and Zhang Xuan was an elder. If he did things well, it would be easy for him to get techniques from Zhang Xuan.
Lin Fan faked a smile, "Brother Zhang, you are right. Relationships are built slowly. Although we had a misunderstanding, it was just that and the truth will never be revealed. I believe that we will become good friends."
A plastic relationship was created when both sides lied with their eyes wide open.
Ying ying~
Zhang Xuan's female disciple woke up and made a really unhuman sound.
The first thing she saw when she woke up was Lin Fan. She wanted to say something but she realized that her mouth was full and there was a thick smell from within.
She took out the sock right away and then gagged furiously.
The more she gagged, the more she was unable to vomit anything out.
She jumped up, "Master, kill him. Kill him and take revenge for me."
The two guys felt their hearts ache when they saw their junior sister like that. At the same time, they looked at her pink mouth and felt that she looked really beautiful.
But when they thought about how those beautiful lips were stained by those dirty socks, their hearts felt a throbbing pain.
Zhang Xuan's face turned cold and smacked her hand away. She chided, "Dumb disciple, shut up. Who are you saying that you want to kill? This person is my good friend. What do you mean by your words?"
Buzz buzz!
When the girl heard those words, she felt a buzzing sound in her brain like it was about to explode.
What did he say?
What did Master say?
"Master, he treated me like that, so why aren't you fighting for me?" The girl cried when she thought about how she was treated just now. Thinking about it, she felt terrified and cold.
"Shut up." Zhang Xuan chided, "This is your senior. You should call him Senior Lin. If you continue behaving like this, I will chase you out of the sect and you will not be my disciple anymore."
Zhang Xuan's words were a little heavy.
The girl's face turned white. She was so lawless due to her Master's love for her. Other people allowed her to do so because of her master.
But if Master chased her out, then she would have nothing at all.
She was unhappy but that was just an emotional issue. If she didn't handle herself, it wouldn't just be an emotional issue but she would lose her master too.
When Zhang Xuan saw his disciple slowly calm down, he nodded in satisfaction. "Go apologize to Senior Lin."
"Master…"
"Eh?" Zhang Xuan frowned. He opened his eyes like there were flames of rage burning in them.
The girl walked in front of Lin Fan and said, "Senior, I am wrong."
Lin Fan felt really great to be called Senior at such a young age. Looking at her, she was a little older than him. He had been thinking about something: if one was strong enough, they could just do anything they wanted?
Right, that was correct. With strength, one could really do whatever they wanted…
Liang Yongqi pointed at Liang Yongqi. "It is useless to apologize to me. Apologize to him."
The girl looked at Lin Fan and then turned her eyes to Liang Yongqi.
"Sorry."
When she said these words, even her heart was dripping blood. She felt really reluctant.
But she had no choice. Since Master already told her that, she had no choice but to listen.
Gou'zi realized that the way the girl looked at him seemed a little off. Maybe it was because he had shoved his sock into her mouth.
Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. "Eh not bad, you know how to repent. In the future, you must be careful."
Zhang Xuan said, "Have you heard Senior's words? Aren't you going to thank him?"
The girl really wanted to smash her head into the wall to kill herself.
"Thank you, Senior, I will remember your words in my heart." Min'er was what Zhang Xuan called this disciple.
"Eh, not bad. In the future, don't mock others even if you want to. It depends on whether or not you have the strength." Lin Fan felt great acting cool. That feeling was one that was hard to imagine.
Min'er didn't know what to reply. No matter what he said, she could only accept it.
You were my senior.
So, whatever you said was right.
I really couldn't offend you. I really couldn't.
The two disciples standing behind Zhang Xuan looked at Lin Fan with envy. Their ages were quite similar.
But why was the gap so huge?
This really annoyed them.
Lin Fan asked, "Where are you going?"
This was what Lin Fan wanted to ask.
Report chapter
Chapter 413: If The Enemy Doesn't Move, I Won't Move Either
"Brother Lin, I just wanted to bring my disciples out to take a look at the world and let them experience things to gain knowledge. I feel that my idea was just perfect. This disciple has been spoiled since young and if she doesn't face any trouble, she would become too arrogant."
Zhang Xuan laughed and naturally didn't tell him the truth.
He couldn't say that he was representing the sect to take a look and if no other sect had occupied this area, the Celestial Ascending Sect would stretch their hands into this place.
But he wasn't a fool either.
He could see that there was a problem here.
The little brother here… no, this little brother should be called Brother Lin. His appearance and being a Sect Leader meant that the situation was different.
There was a high possibility that this territory was already occupied by his sect.
Brother Lin revealed that he was at Dao Realm Stage Two. That wasn't weak already. If he was in a top sect, he would have been a top tier elder.
But one mustn't forget about his age.
For him to have such a cultivation at such a young age meant that he would be respected. The experts of the sect would naturally choose to give up the position, to allow such a capable disciple to become the Sect Leader.
If their Celestial Ascending Sect had such a talented and strong disciple, they would have made him Sect Leader too.
After all, with high enough cultivation, it wouldn't be an embarrassment.
Lin Fan laughed and muttered in his heart.
Zhang Xuan was not a simple person and the words he said were just too nice to the ears. This was what people loved. Not only were they fun, they knew how to speak too.
Min'er just stood beside her Master.
She didn't want to say a single word as the situation had totally changed such that she didn't know what to say. His relationship with Master was like they had been good brothers for many years.
She also had to call him senior which made her feel really frustrated.
Lin Fan said, "Eh, the young have to see more and learn more. If they face some things, then they will grow. Your disciple is indeed arrogant and needs to be taught a lesson or she will cause trouble. When that happens not even you can help her."
As expected, one would get addicted if someone called them senior.
Even his words became deep and confident.
Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "Eh, Brother Lin's words make sense. The world is huge and there are many experts around. My disciple isn't strong but she is especially good at causing trouble. If she really offends an expert in the future, then that would be catastrophic."
The two of them were very direct with one another.
One dared to speak and the other dared to reply.
This was basically the situation between them.
The teahouse had been empty for a long time. Lin Fan and Zhang Xuan just sat opposite one another like good friends. They talked about anything and even discussed the problems with the younger generation.
The two men who stood behind Zhang Xuan listened from start to finish and would occassionally size up Lin Fan. They then turned to Junior Sister and they were overwhelmed with a special emotion.
As time went on, they felt like the gap between the two was huge.
Damn.
They were around the same age but why was he so amazing while they were being treated as juniors and being lectured by him?
Suddenly, the atmosphere became silent.
Zhang Xuan exchanged glances with Lin Fan. Neither of them spoke and they just looked at one another.
Since the two seniors were talking, the juniors around didn't dare to speak. They didn't even dare to take a breath.
"Brother Lin, where is your sect? I would like to pay a visit." Zhang Xuan smiled and asked. His smile was very friendly like he was saying that he had no other plans and just wanted to visit.
Lin Fan smiled, "Brother Zhang, do you want to know where my sect is to bring people from Celestial Ascending Sect to trample us?"
Zhang Xuan was stunned and didn't expect Lin Fan to say that. He then laughed. "Brother Lin, that joke is not funny. Am I such a person? Since I've become good friends with you, naturally I want to get closer."
Lin Fan said, "Oh, I was joking. But forget about the sect. You just need to tell me where Celestial Ascending Sect is, and when I have a chance, I will head there."
The two of them exchanged glances and smiled. Slowly, both of them calmed down and their smiles disappeared.
What was the meaning of their words? No one knew but it just felt really weird.
Lin Fan was thinking that he definitely couldn't tell Zhang Xuan where Martial Path Mountain was. Martial Path Mountain wasn't strong enough and if they wanted to attack him, they could only run.
Before he reached a certain strength, he wouldn't tell others where the sect was.
Zhang Xuan's idea was similar to Lin Fan.
What did he mean?
He didn't tell me where his sect was but wanted to know where Celestial Ascending Sect was?
Did he want to bring people from his sect to scout and find out more about Celestial Ascending Sect?
If they realized that Celestial Ascending Sect was weaker than them, would he try to attack them?
This was why Zhang Xuan didn't want to tell him their location before understanding more about each other. They both had the same thought.
"Hahaha, Brother Lin is right but as they say everything is up to fate. Fate is very mysterious. I think since we are fated with one another, even if we don't know where each of our sects are, naturally we will still be able to meet one another. Is that right Brother Lin?" Zhang Xuan said.
He wouldn't fall for Lin Fan's tricks.
If you don't say it, then I won't either.
It all depended on who couldn't stop themselves from revealing infomation.
"Right, Brother Zhang is right." Lin Fan smiled and agreed with what Zhang Xuan said. Anyway, he didn't lose out this time and had obtained three Dao Realm techniques.
There was no need to overthink.
Moreover, he had spent enough time and didn't want to waste more.
You should go where you want and stop wasting my time here.
"Then…" Zhang Xuan thought about it. Forget it, he treated it as using the three techniques to buy his life. Moreover, he felt like there was no use in staying here and it was best if they just parted ways.
But he didn't say that.
He felt like it wasn't good for him to say it like it would show he didn't respect the relationship.
Lin Fan didn't mind and said directly, "Why don't we just end here? I have something to attend to, so we will meet in the future?"
"Okay, then I won't disturb Brother Lin. If there is a chance, then I will ask Brother Lin to visit Celestial Ascending Sect." Zhang Xuan said.
"Sure sure." Lin Fan smiled and waved his hands to ask Zhang Xuan to scram. He felt like leaving this person alive was much better than killing him.
Very quickly, the few of them left.
Lin Fan looked in the direction they left, deep in thought. There was too much sect movement recently and it was easy to bump into sect members outside. Especially those from the top sects who were really active.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Now that many top sects took over land and expanded their territories, naturally, they became more active.
"Young Master, is it okay to let them go just like that?" Gou'zi asked softly.
Liang Yongqi looked at Gou'zi in shock and realized that Gou'zi had changed. He was once a servant but he sounded so confident now. He could maintain such coolness even when facing such an expert.
If Gou'zi knew what Liang Yongqi was thinking, he would shout loudly.
"Listen up, I am not the old Gou'zi anymore. I am now a Domain Realm, so Gou'zi please show some respect."
Maybe it would shock Liang Yongqi to death.
Lin Fan said, "Nothing will happen. This person is smart. It is just that it will be a problem to mingle with him."
That was what he was thinking.
Indeed, from the short conversation, he knew that he wasn't a fool.
"Rage points 333."
Yi!
Where did the rage points come from?
Did that fellow provide him with rage points after he left?
That was possible.
In the distance…
"Master, why do you have to be so polite with him? Would our Celestial Ascending Sect even need to be afraid of him?" Min'er was really unhappy. Till now, she was still thinking about how that person shoved the sock into her mouth.
It was humiliation that she wouldn't be able to forget for the rest of her life.
Gou'zi's socks were indeed really smelly. Any normal person wouldn't have been able to take it. She just fainted right away from the stench.
It was really sad.
"I am afraid that all of you will die there." Zhang Xuan looked at his disciple. She was just too dumb, and till now, still didn't understand the situation.
Min'er was unwilling to accept it. "With Master there, what do we have to be afraid of?"
The two guys behind the old man didn't dare to say anything. Although they didn't have a full grasp of the situation, it seemed like they understood parts of it.
The elder needed to speak so politely with him which meant that this was a problem.
Lin Fan's strength shouldn't have been looked down upon and even an elder didn't dare to be careless.
"You are really going to infuriate me to death. Do you think he is ordinary? Or do you think that Master is so strong? If I didn't do that, then your life would have been lost." Zhang Xuan was helpless. He didn't realize in the past, but now, he noticed that this disciple's intelligence was a huge worry.
What was the phrase?
If it was a pony or a horse one just had to take it for a stroll.
Who knew that after bringing this disciple out, he realized that this disciple was a problem?
Forgive him for being so direct with his words.
But he had no choice as that was really what he was thinking.
Min'er was shocked because she didn't expect that her Master would say such words.
Zhang Xuan didn't want to scold her, so he said nicely, "Disciple, after this matter, it is time for you to grow up. There will always be stronger people. Celestial Ascending Sect is strong but there are many stronger than Celestial Ascending Sect. Even Master might not be able to protect you."
"It is very lucky that I was able to exchange your life for the three techniques."
Actually, there was something he didn't say.
Those three techniques helped to save his life too.
Of course, he definitely wouldn't have said that.
Otherwise, he would lose all his face.

Chapter 414: Luckily, Lin Fan Is A Normal Person
Bumping into Liang Yongqi along the way was a really good thing; at least they didn't see him die along the way.
But if they had met him a little later, he would have thought that Liang Yongqi might have died from starvation on the side of the road.
Liang Yongqi was just too weak and the initial faith that he had was still very fragile. He had pretty much no hope of getting strong by cultivating on his own. If he raised his faith to the peak, then maybe he could become an expert as outstanding as Gou'zi.
But that path was also a tough one to take.
Faith didn't depend on talent and comprehension but on whether or not the person knew how to suck up.
For example, Gou'zi and his cousin were both extremely loyal to him. Since he obtained the Darkness God Domain and activated this faith pathway, they were connected to him through faith and obtained extraordinary amounts of help.
Two purple-colored faith threads were connected to him. One of them was Gou'zi and one was Cousin.
Gou'zi was unable to control his strong power but Cousin definitely could. Cousin was really strong and obtained many great opportunities in life. He transmitted his strength over to Cousin through the faith thread.
With the current situation, Cousin's cultivation was enough to reach Dao Realm Stage One.
No matter where such a person was, he would be able to protect himself. As long as he didn't bump into those terrifying people, nothing dangerous would happen.
A few days later, the Alliance made their move. What Lin Fan did at Valley City made the Alliance really angry but their hands hadn't stretched out so far yet.
It was too risky to gather too many people to enter a place that wasn't under the Alliance's control.
It was indeed a problem to enter land that didn't belong to them.
Lin Fan's age was a huge problem. He was just too young and too strong. It was just too dangerous to keep him alive. To the Allinace, it was best if they eradicated him directly.
But based on what the Alliance predicted and estimated, the power that Lin Fan had was not normal. Mao Shentai failed to kill him. Although Lin Fan didn't deal any injuries to Mao Shentai, it still showed that his ability to fight was unusual as well.
This was why the Alliance wanted to make use of the top sects by making them feel pressured.
They would work together to kill this common enemy.
However, things didn't happen the way that the Alliance imagined it.
They informed the top sects of the situation and also told them about Lin Fan.
But what they didn't expect was that the top sects would all be really calm and they didn't do anything.
What was going on?
The Alliance had no idea what was going on.
It wasn't that there was a problem with the Alliance's infomation dissemination, or that the top sects didn't receive the news.
When the top sects got the news, some people immediately went to report to the elders.
They were terrified.
He was less than 20 but his cultivation was at Dao Realm Stage Two. Moreover, he was Lin Wanyi's son. That was just shocking… so terrifying that it could kill someone.
This outcome was something that no one expected.
No matter which sect they were from, when the elder saw the news, they weren't shocked but furious.
They kicked the person who passed on the news.
What he meant was obvious.
Did you think that we were fools?
Use your pig brain to think whether or not that was possible. Was the infomation worth believing?
The person that the elder scolded was stunned. Thinking about it, it felt impossible, no… it was not only impossible, it was definitely impossible.
He had never heard of someone who could reach Dao Realm Stage Two at just 20 years old.
Even if they started cultivating from the realm that wouldn't be possible.
The top sects only had one thought which was that that the person who was spreading the news had something planned. Lin Wanyi wasn't dead and now someone wanted them to kill his son. Wasn't that person trying to hurt them?
Lin Wanyi only had one son and if he died, they would suffer from his wrath.
To the top sects, they didn't even need to think and they knew who was behind this.
Apart from the Alliance, who else could it be?
Damn.
Even if you wanted us to kill someone for you, at least give me a reliable reason. Did you think that the top sects were all fools?
Thus, this matter became slightly awkward.
There really was nothing that they could do.
The Alliance really wanted to know the reason why nothing was happening. They thought that it was because Lin Fan was hard to find which was why they hadn't located him in a while.
What they didn't know was that their actions caused the top sects to hate them.
Even those who they had once worked with in the past only had one thought in their minds; the Alliance was trying to con them.
"Young Master, the sky is about to turn dark. We should find a place to rest." Gou'zi looked at the sky and it was quite late. If they hadn't found a place to stay by the time the sky was dark, then they would have to spend the night outside.
"Eh." Lin Fan replied.
Actually, he could have returned long ago.
But he didn't and toured the area outside to memorize the surrounding environment. In the future, when he occupied the land he would be able to know clearly where his territory was.
But the situation disappointed him.
There was actually no one he could develop his faith on.
The world looked really calm but he knew that a storm was brewing and that nothing could stop it.
The four Alliances were fine for now because they knew that their final enemy was the Alliance.
As for the Imperial Dynasty, they didn't care much about it.
The Imperial Dynasty was just a puppet. King Wutong's rebellion succeeded but he lost so many people. No one knew where the experts of the original Imperial Dynasty were and they didn't even stay to fight against the Alliance.
Some said that the experts hid in the forests and mountains but many sects felt that they were gathered somewhere and waiting for their chance.
"So fragrant." Lin Fan said.
The sky slowly turned dark but there was a fragrance that wafted into their noses.
Liang Yongqi was hungry and hadn't eaten in a long time. Meat was a luxury for him and he picked up the scent right away.
"Meat!"
"It is the meat of a wild animal."
Liang Yongqi said as he looked into the distance. One could see light from the flames right in front of them.
"Your nose is quite amazing." Lin Fan looked at Liang Yongqi. Maybe this was an ability he trained through spending a lot of time outside.
Liang Yongqi scratched his head and laughed. But his expression was one of anticipation.
It was anticipation towards meat.
Very quickly, the light got closer and closer. The people around seemed to have heard their movement and were really nervous. Their bodies were tensed up and they could hear the sounds of weapons being held.
But when they saw that Lin Fan and the others were so young, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Since they were young, their strengths should have been similar and they shouldn't have posed a threat.
Lin Fan looked at the people around the fire.
They were all really young, and of course, their cultivation was weak too.
Two guys and one girl. The guys were normal people, but truthfully, they were quite outstanding. However, to Lin Fan, since he was more vain, he felt like he was great.
As for the girl, she was indeed very beautiful and didn't look like a normal person.
To Lin Fan, he had seen too many girls and had been maintaining a decent mental state. Thus, he didn't hate girls but he didn't love them either.
He was just so calm.
When Lin Fan was looking at them, the three of them looked back. They were just sizing up one another.
At the same time, one of the two guys said:
"Be careful. We don't know where he came from, so don't be careless." The guy who spoke was called Chen Feng and he was the shortest. He was at most 165cm. His eyes were bright and looked really shifty, "I think our sister-in-law is too beautiful and even attracted three perverts late at night. Let's just hope they don't ask to get beaten up, otherwise, I don't mind teaching them a lesson."
"Junior Brother, please be more polite. They are just passing by and they're not doing anything." The handsome guy opposite the girl said.
He got up and cupped his fists, "I am He Fei and I am sorry for my cousin being rude."
Lin Fan smiled coldly. "It is okay."
Gou'zi gathered all the timber together and lit it up. As for Liang Yongqi, he stared at the wild boar on their fire and gulped. His saliva was about to drool.
Chen Feng muttered, "Junior Brother, look at his gaze. I was telling you that this group of people aren't good and they have nefarious intentions."
"Talk less, he is just staring at the meat. Go split some of it with them." He Fei said, "Be nice. Stop being rude."
Chen Feng was helpless; he didn't want to share food with these unknown people. Moreover, the way they looked at his sister-in-law was a little off.
That was what he felt and he wasn't sure if that was actually the case but he had no choice.
Chen Feng could only slice off a bit of meat from the wild boar but He Fei stopped him. He blamed him for being petty and sliced off an entire leg.
Chen Feng pouted. Although he was unhappy, he still walked towards Lin Fan and passed the meat to them. "Here, my Senior Brother asked me to give it to you all."
He stared furiously at Liang Yongqi, "Be careful with your eyes and stop looking around. That is my sister-in-law, my Senior Brother's wife. You're not allowed to think about her."
Liang Yongqi was stunned.
I wasn't even looking at her.
I was looking at the meat.
Lin Fan nodded towards He Fei like he was grateful for his action.
Chen Feng saw Liang Yongqi's gaze shift and thought that it was because he listened to him. He turned around and left.
"Senior Brother, I have already warned that kid. Don't worry, sister-in-law. He won't dare to look at you anymore. If he dares, then I will teach him a lesson." Chen Feng said.
"You…" The girl shook her head bitterly. She knew that he wasn't looking at him but at the meat in front of her.
However, she didn't say anything more.
At the same time, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She felt fortunate that they were just normal people.

Chapter 415: Why, Why Must I Be So Strong?
"If you want to eat, then eat it, you don't have to look at me."
Liang Yongqi saw that Liang Yongqi was staring at him. His eyes were giving off a bright glow. Without even needing to think he knew that he wanted to eat meat.
As the grand disciple of Martial Path Mountain, he had a very high position but very regretfully, the person he was looking at was the Sect Leader. Beside him was his private servant and it seemed like he had a higher status than him.
This was why if the Sect Leader didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare too either.
After he heard the Sect Leader's words, Liang Yongqi didn't hold back and started to wolf down. His face was covered in grease like a dumb kid from a rich family.
Thinking about the past, Liang Yongqi was a rich family child in You City and he seemed very noble when he waved the fan in his hand.
The change from then to now was a little huge.
The aura from before was totally gone and it was replaced with that of a refugee.
If it hadn't been sliced with special blade techniques and placed in exquisite bowls, he wouldn't have even bothered to look at the meat, much less eat it.
Lin Fan picked up a piece and popped it into his mouth. It tasted good.
He Fei continued to look over at Lin Fan. Lin Fan seemed powerless and with how Gou'zi treated him like how a servant treated a master, he really treated Lin Fan like a young master.
As for Liang Yongqi, he was so dirty and the way he ate the meat like he had been starved for months.
This combination was so weird.
All of a sudden, he didn't know how to describe it.
"Brother, where did you all come from?" He Fei asked, "He doesn't seem like he is in a good state."
He was talking about Liang Yongqi. After all, he looked really weird being dressed up like that.
Lin Fan smiled. "From Valley City."
He wasn't lying; they did in fact come from Valley City.
"I have never been to Valley City but it seems like we are going in opposite directions. Looking at your aura, you should be a son of a rich family from Valley City. After all, you have a servant taking care of you." He Fei and Lin Fan were talking to one another like normal friends and were trying to size up each other's background.
Lin Fan said, "No, I was once from a rich family but not anymore. Now, I am just a normal person."
He Fei said, "I am sorry, I asked too much."
To He Fei, he could understand that Lin Fan was indeed from a rich family but his family faced problems and he turned into a normal person and ended up here.
Facing such a reply, he could also understand why Liang Yongqi ended up like this. They must have faced many problems but since Lin Fan was the Young Master, everything good had gone to him such that the rest of them didn't eat much.
Naturally, he didn't think much about Lin Fan and instead felt like the two of them were really loyal to Lin Fan. Even when the situation reached such a stage they still stayed by his side.
Naturally, he had heard of such a situation before but he had never seen it for himself.
Lin Fan smiled and expressed that it was okay. But he really was just a normal person, a normal person with no pros.
The only thing not normal about him was his strength.
Actually, he didn't want to take too much on. Cultivation wasn't something he was used to. In the past, he just wanted to have a quiet and peaceful life.
But things went against his wishes and he was forced into this by others.
Chen Feng muttered softly, "Senior Brother, why are you talking so much to them? They are just normal people, totally different from us. We aren't in a good situation either and if they follow us, they might not be able to run if we face a situation."
"They are just normal people, so they won't be dragged into this. Moreover, even if the other people come, they won't be able to do anything to us." He Fei said.
With Lin Fan's strength, naturally, he could hear what they were saying.
He was calm.
The feeling of being a normal person was great. With his young age, it was easy to hide it from others.
The night was silent and nothing happened as of yet.
Suddenly, Lin Fan opened his eyes and he heard some movement. The enemy tried to hide their movement but they were just too weak. They were so weak that he didn't know how to describe them.
If he really had to, Lin Fan was a dragon that could fly and those people were just ants crawling on the ground.
He looked towards He Fei who hadn't noticed the situation. Maybe his cultivation wasn't high so he didn't hear them.
After a while, He Fei finally reacted. He got up and said softly, "They are here."
Chen Feng and the girl looked around warily.
"We finally found you." A voice spread from the distance. In the blink of an eye, many people were stepping on branches and appeared in front of them.
"Young Master, I…" Gou'zi frowned and wanted to kill those people for disturbing Young Master's rest. However, Young Master told him to stop and not to be rash.
He Fei said softly, "Brother, this matter concerns us and not them. All of you should retreat later, we won't drag you down."
"Little Miss, the chief orders us to bring you back." The man who was in the lead said.
Chen Feng said, "My sister-in-law wouldn't follow all of you back. All of you can just give up."
"Junior Brother, come back." He Fei looked at them, "Both your Little Miss and I are willing. I hope that all of you can let us leave."
"Preposterous." The man said furiously, "We have already scouted. You are a disciple of a mid-tier sect and dare to dirty my Little Miss. Even your Sect Leader doesn't dare to behave like that with us."
….
"Young Master, do you need me to help them?" Gou'zi asked softly. He Fei was quite respectful to them. Since they had the ability, then naturally they would be willing to help.
"Wait, these people are no match for them." Lin Fan said.
Very quickly, maybe as both sides didn't discuss, or they didn't even want to, they fought right away.
He Fei was decently strong and had Master Realm strength. As for that family's man, he was at Grandmaster Realm. But to reach Grandmaster at such an age, he was so weak.
There weren't any so-called heaven splitting, space shattering scenes.
This was a straight-up clash of blades and swords and occassionally bright lights would explode.
To Lin Fan, he was used to seeing battles with insane special effects. But now, these scenes were totally different from what he was used to.
He Fei and the enemy were one large realm away from one another and logically speaking there was no way he could win. But he could tell that He Fei's accumulated cultivation was really shocking.
Especially with the girl's attacks, they managed to suppress the man.
To them, such a battle was too intense. In the end, He Fei used a certain fist technique. The man shouted "Return to True" in shock and was punched away.
"This should be something a young person should go through. As for me…" Lin Fan was really engrossed and reminiscing about something.
He felt a little sad.
Lin Fan was thinking about what he went through when he was young.
Oh right, he went to Jiang City and when he was free he would just use Yin Demons to gain rage points. Just like that, he raised his strength really quickly.
Truthfully, he really envied people who could stay in a realm for years and fight with people of the same generation.
Really, he really envied them.
Unlike now, if the opposition is young, there was no joy in fighting at all. He could only fight those bunch of old people and there was no enjoyment at all.
He hoped that he could go back in time and fight with these few young people and let them exclaim that his cultivation technique was at Return to True Realm.
And not, "You are actually Dao Realm and have gathered 77 Dao patterns".
Such pain was really unimaginable.
Why, why do the heavens have to treat me like that? I don't want to cultivate so quickly.
I am in so much pain.
At that moment, the girl blocked Chen Feng from attacking viciously, "Let them go."
"But sister-in-law…" Chen Feng wanted to kill all these people and it was a problem if they left them alive.
But the girl didn't want Chen Feng to do that. If that was the case, then they would really be having a huge conflict with her family. In the end, she looked at everyone on the ground and stared at the leader, "Go back and tell my father not to find me, I won't go back to him."
The guy got up slowly and tried to wipe off the blood at the corner of his mouth, "Little Miss, I hope that you can think this through. The chief won't let you go."
He looked towards He Fei and then towards Lin Fan and the others. It was obvious that he thought that they were all on the same side.
"Let's go."
Everyone left.
"Senior Brother, are you okay?" Chen Feng hurried to his senior brother and asked. The enemy was really strong and his Senior Brother found it really difficult to keep up. If sister-in-law hadn't helped, they might not have won so quickly,
"I am fine." He Fei shook his head. The enemy was strong, but fortunately, his fist technique was at Return to True Realm. Otherwise, it would be uncertain who the winner of the battle would be.
Chen Feng looked at how stunned Lin Fan and the others were. He smiled, "Don't be nervous. This has nothing to do with you. If I were you, I would be crushed by a battle of this level. Luckily, my Senior Brother and sister-in-law are strong enough. If you have nothing important, then leave. To all of you, such scenes must be rare, right?"
"But don't think about cultivating. You are just normal people and are so old already. It is too late to start cultivating."
The girl said, "It is best that they leave with us. The memories of the people in my family are really extraordinary. They would have remembered what they looked like and if they are found, then it won't end well. "
He Fei nodded and walked towards Lin Fan, "Brother, I am a disciple of Xuantian Sect. Due to some things, I have implicated all of you. All of you don't look like you have a place to go too, so why not follow me back to the sect and once this ends, you can go wherever you want. What do you think?"
Gou'zi frowned and looked at Young Master. He really wanted to ask them if Young Master really looked so ordinary.
He wanted to argue but he knew that Young Master didn't like to act cool. He also wanted to let things run their own course, which was why he didn't say anything.
"Good, then I shall bother you all. Moreover, you are a nice person, so maybe I can offer some help." Lin Fan said.
"Tsk, it is good if you don't drag us down. How can we even depend on your help?" Chen Feng was filled with disdain. People in the world had no strength but loved to act cool, really… He didn't know what to say to them.
To Lin Fan, he just wanted to know where this Xuantian Sect was.
The power distribution in this area was quite complicated.
Report chapter
Chapter 416: Time For Me To Mock You
The reason why Lin Fan wanted to go to Xuantian Sect was really simple.
If he could, he hoped to go all out to protect them when they were facing troubles. He would kill all of the enemies and slowly accumulate rage points.
Moreover, based on his conjecture, this girl's family would definitely head to Xuantian Sect to find her. Logically speaking, they would definitely start fighting. He would then help because he felt that He Fei was a decent person.
He would then piss off that family and once again absorb a bunch of rage points.
Use your brain and don't let poverty restrict your imagination. Tell me boldly, how many rage points will you be able to get?
Have you thought about it?
As for those who said that they didn't want to improve too quickly and wanted to slow down, they were just being shameless. It wouldn't happen unless someone was sick in the head.
Hadn't he learned that other people would beat him up if he was weak?
Very quickly…
A few days later…
Xuantian Sect was right in front of them. The gate was extremely majestic and from afar, one could see the tall buildings standing tall among the mountains.
He Fei felt a little nervous looking at his sect. He held her hand tightly. Maybe because he knew that he would bring problems back to the sect by bringing her back, he could only place all his hopes on the sect.
Lin Fan found it weird too. They reached this sect after just a few days of travel. This meant that the position of the sect wasn't too far away and that the sects were all close to one another.
It was the right decision to come out to take a look and he could clearly understand the sect distribution around.
Chen Feng said, "After following us back to the sect, don't talk any nonsense and don't look around randomly. If something happens to you, we're not sure if we can protect you."
"Okay." Lin Fan smiled. It seemed like there was a huge chance that he would have large gains from this place. He was really looking forward to it.
Of course, to anyone, Lin Fan was just a normal person. Thus, they were arranged to live in a room and were sort of left to their own.
They were just very low profile and didn't stand out at all.
However, he realized that Xuantian Sect really had many disciples.
If he could mock all of them, naturally the effect would be amazing.
Eh…
It seemed like he should work hard and this whole thing would have a high chance of succeeding.
"Young Master, when are we going to stay here till?" Gou'zi asked. He didn't feel that there was anything outstanding about this Xuantian Sect. The old Gou'zi was gone and the current Domain Realm Gou'zi was really intelligent. In his words, the people here were just too weak.
Lin Fan said, "Don't be anxious and wait. Some things will be revealed soon."
After they moved here, He Fei didn't come to visit them. After returning, He Fei went straight to find the Sect Leader and elders to report what happened.
As for Lin Fan and his group, they were just normal people to them.
It was really kind-hearted of them to give them some living space. As for what was going to happen next, they wouldn't drag them in. They just needed to wait silently for all of this to end.
That night, He Fei's had a really ugly expression on his face. He was unwilling to take this lying down but he also didn't know what he had to do.
"Disciple, you have caused huge trouble this time." An old man said helplessly. What could he do? This person was his disciple. Even if he was an elder, he couldn't make a decision for this.
"Master, is there really nothing we can do?" He Fei asked.
The old man thought about it and said, "That girl is the eldest daughter of Ji Family and the Ji Family is extremely strong. There are signs of them going from a mid-tier sect to a top tier sect. Their family ancestor is at Dao Realm Stage Four and has been in seclusion for a long time. If he reaches Dao Realm Stage Five, they will have the strength of a top sect. The difference between us and them is just too huge."
"The more important thing would be the close relationship between Ji Family and some top sects."
He Fei lowered his head and his expression seemed a little off. He understood what his Master meant, "Master, I don't want to hide things and I will tell you everything I know. Her father wanted to send her to that top sect to marry one of their top disciples."
The old man was stunned when he heard this. He then took a few looks at his disciple. "I didn't expect my disciple to have such charm."
"Master, this is not the time to joke around. Do you have any way to solve this?" He Fei asked.
The old man sighed and said, "No. If you are willing to give up, then the sect can keep you alive. As for you wanting the Ji Family to give up on that disciple to choose you, that's just impossible. You are talented but compared to a genius in top sects, you are lacking."
"No Master, I definitely can't give up. Both of us have also done husband and wife things." He Fei wouldn't let go. A guy would never be willing to give his own things to others.
But he was facing too much pressure; the enemy he was facing was too terrifying and he didn't know what to do.
The old man blinked and looked at his disciple in disbelief. What happened?
His disciple didn't look like such a thirsty person.
They were outside. They didn't have a house, so had they just done it in the open?
He Fei didn't know what his Master was thinking about.
If he did, he would definitely grumble that he wasn't thirsty but because the two of them couldn't control themselves.
"Fei'er, this is really problematic. Even I don't know what to do." The old man said the truth. He really had no idea. He did have fun but now that there was a problem, it was a huge headache.
He Fei thought about the outcome and said firmly, "Master, I won't give up. If I die, then I will die in the sect."
The old man reached out and patted He Fei's shoulder, "Disciple, I will protect you but if we really are unable to fight them in the end, you need to know your place and stop being rash."
Just as the two of them were talking, the Ji Family moved out. The people that He Fei had beaten up went to report the situation. Thus, the chief personally led people over to Xuantian Sect.
A middle-tier sect actually dared to bare their fangs at him… they really were asking to die.
The next day, when Lin Fan opened his eyes, Gou'zi had prepared everything. Gou'zi personally made all of them wash and eat.
"Young Master, it is time to brush up." Gou'zi entered and placed the things to the side.
Suddenly, in the distant space, a strong aura exploded. At the same time, there were people roaring furiously.
It was obvious that they were here.
Lin Fan was really calm and wasn't in a rush to head out. He continued to wash up and then tasted Gou'zi's delicious cooking.
He was in someone else's sect, so it was not good if he just jumped out like that.
He had to at least give the sect a chance to perform.
"Go, let's go take a look." Lin Fan said. He then brought Gou'zi and Liang Yongqi to walk into the distance. That place should be the main hall of the sect. He could already sense several auras clashing one another.
Although there wasn't a huge battle, there was definitely an intense and serious conversation.
Very quickly, once Lin Fan arrived, the situation was indeed on the edge.
The Xuantian Sect disciples all surged from all areas due to the arrival of an enemy. All of them stared at those people aggressively.
To them, Xuantian Sect couldn't be bullied by random people.
However, their prideful brains were being suppressed by them. After all, to them, their sect leader seemed to be acting more and more cowardly.
Lin Fan looked into the distance at the group of people who were supposedly from the girl's family.
The guy who was leading had decent cultivation and the aura from his body was of someone at Dao Realm Stage Three. This cultivation was quite high no matter the place.
This guy was the chief, Ji Chang.
His expression was really serious and he hollered, "You unfilial daughter, you actually chose to be with such a person. You have lost all of our Ji Family's face."
Ji Xuefei's face turned white from her father's words. She wanted to retort but his aura covered her heart such that she didn't know what to reply.
"Uncle, Xuefei and I are both willing, so please accept us. If you send her to that top sect, she won't be happy. As her father, you definitely wouldn't want her to be unhappy for the rest of her life, right?" He Fei picked up his confidence and said.
"Shut up, such a mid-tier sect disciple doesn't have the right to climb up the ladder into my Ji Family." Ji Chang said coldly. He was so furious that he was about to explode.
He really didn't think that such a thing would happen. This damn kid and this damn sect!
"Chief Ji, although my disciple is at fault, both of the juniors are willing. If seniors like us break them up, that is just too much." The old man couldn't take it anymore. His disciple was being insulted like that, and as a Master, he had to interfere. There was a need for him to say a few words.
"Old man, shut up. This matter doesn't concern you." Ji Chang definitely wouldn't give the elder of a mid-tier sect any face at all.
This made things awkward.
Lin Fan looked at him enviously.
Damn.
So many people were angry at you.
If he had all that rage points, that would be so amazing.
He was thinking about it.
He could do the same as him. Although people would hate him, he would gain a huge number of rage points.
Just as he was deep in thought, the situation changed.
Ji Chang ordered people to capture his unfilial child. With He Fei's strength, of course, he couldn't prevent it, so naturally, his Master helped. But Ji Chang also attacked to suppress them.
With just one move, he suppressed He Fei's Master.
The situation changed really quickly but it all seemed quite normal. After all, the gap was a little huge, so it was normal for a Stage Three expert to suppress someone at Stage One.
"Go back with me." Ji Chang hollered in rage.
His voice was like a deafening thunder.
A terrifying aura covered Xuantian Sect.
Xuantian Sect Sect Leader's forehead was covered in sweat and his face was ashen white. He sensed the terrifying aura.
Even he was no match for him.
It wasn't smart to sacrifice the entire Xuantian Sect just for one disciple.
"At such a desperate moment, if I could mock them, I would naturally acquire huge gains."
"It is time for me to make my appearance."
Lin Fan's smile was as wide as a blooming flower.

Chapter 417: I Did So On Purpose
This day was a calamitous day for the Xuantian Sect.
It was a true tragedy. The enemy came to Xuantian Sect and hollered furiously, insulting their Senior Brother in front of them. They also injured their sect leader but their Sect Leader didn't even move at all and just took it.
To them, they hoped that their Sect Leader could be firmer, using his invincible aura to suppress the enemy and stomping on all those people beneath him. They wanted him to tell them that this was Xuantian Sect, so how could they be so arrogant?
But they knew that it was a dream and such a thing definitely wouldn't happen.
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly from behind.
"Are people from Xuantian Sect all so useless?"
The Xuantian Sect disciples were all in despair. They didn't know what to do at all but when they heard those words, they were all furious. It was like a grenade had been thrown into a crowd, causing all of them to explode.
"Who?"
"Who dares to say that? When have people from our Xuantian Sect ever been useless?"
Everyone was trying to search for the person who said that.
They couldn't beat the person who came to provoke Xuantian Sect but not anyone could just ride on their heads.
"Stop looking, I am here. All of you are indeed useless. Especially you, the sect leader. You are so frightened that you don't dare to do anything. That is just so embarrassing."
Very quickly.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the person who had just spoken.
But they didn't recognize who this person was.
There wasn't even such a person in the sect?
Rage points 66
Rage points 199.
Rage points 222
….
For some normal disciples, he didn't place much hope on them as rage points from one of them just wasn't enough.
But it looked really beautiful when a small and insignificant person got mad.
Some disciples clenched their fists so hard that green veins popped out. They wanted to dash up to beat up Lin Fan but they suppressed themselves. This had subconsciously proved Lin Fan's thoughts, that they were all cowards.
Rage points 999
When Xuantian Sect Sect Leader looked at Lin Fan, rage burned in his eyes. But since the members of the Ji Family were still there, he didn't dare to lash out and just swallowed his rage.
Lin Fan was really calm, "Why are you looking at me? I am just speaking the truth."
His words were just so infuriating.
But he had no choice.
Everything he said was the truth and if any of it was false, then he had to prove it with his actions.
However, he had to mention that the gains were just so amazing.
His thoughts were simple. No matter what sect it was, he would willingly make all of them angry so that he would become stronger.
He Fei was in total despair with all that was happening.
But when he heard the familiar voice, he was a little stunned. He turned his head and realized that the person they brought back was actually cursing and insulting their sect.
Although he felt bad, what felt worse was that his lover was about to be taken away by someone else.
Chen Feng couldn't take it and hollered, "You bastard. If I knew that you were such a person, I would have burst your head open."
He really couldn't suppress his rage anymore.
Even if you are a normal person, you can't be so arrogant.
Senior Brother brought you back to help you, but you actually said such hurtful words at such a time.
"Feels good." Lin Fan was really satisfied as his rage points surged upward. It seemed like he just had to work a little harder and he would be able to gain many more.
As for those people cursing him, all of that didn't matter. As long as they could give him rage points, he would allow them to curse him however they wanted. He wouldn't even fight back. If he did, then he would change his surname.
Of course, when you curse me to the end and you're unable to give me any more rage points, that's when tragedy will strike.
Lin Fan was just so arrogant and annoying.
None of the disciples felt good but there was nothing they could do. Lin Fan was right and wasn't lying with his eyes open. Look at what the Xuantian Sect was like?
The Sect Leader was stunned. Although he was angry, that anger was only directed at Lin Fan. He didn't dare to show any unhappiness towards Ji Family at all.
He didn't even say a single word.
Chen Feng hollered towards Lin Fan but Lin Fan just ignored him. That further enraged him and made him want to charge up to beat him up.
But at that moment, he realized that the people from Ji Family were walking towards his Senior Brother. He didn't care about Lin Fan anymore. Charging in front of his Senior Brother and staring at the enemy.
He was prepared for a fight.
"Junior Brother, back down." He Fei said.
Chen Feng said, "Senior Brother, I definitely won't let them bring sister-in-law away.
The one who walked towards them was a Ji Family expert. Although he was not as strong as their Sect Leader, he was far stronger than Chen Feng and He Fei.
"Little Miss, return with the chief." The family member walked over. Each step he took placed huge pressure on He Fei and the others.
Ji Xuefei said, "I won't return. I am already his and even if all of you bring me back, I won't be able to complete the task."
"What?"
A shocking roar exploded.
It wasn't from the family members but from Ji Chang. His body trembled like he was on the verge of collapsing.
What did that unfilial child say?
Ji Xuefei took in a deep breath, picked up all her courage, and said, "I am already his."
Ji Chang was stunned but that very quickly turned to rage. The area around him turned into a storm, "Kid, I am going to kill you."
He was really furious.
"Oi old man. Why are you angry?" Lin Fan walked in front of He Fei. An invisible aura exploded and blocked Ji Chang's aura.
"Isn't it just that thing turning into the shape of someone else? What is the big deal. This fellow is not bad; he has the skills to turn your daughter into his shape first."
Rage points 999
Rage points 999
The Ji Family weren't idiots and they knew what he was saying.
All of them were furious and provided a large number of rage points to Lin Fan.
He Fei was stunned. He felt like those words sounded weird but he couldn't pinpoint which exactly about it was off.
The key was that he thought that Lin Fan was normal.
This situation wasn't something that he could interfere in.
Shortly after, an invisible aura spread out from his body which shocked He Fei. He was in total disbelief.
"You…"
Ji Chang didn't care about Lin Fan at first but when he sensed that vast ocean-like pressure, he was astonished.
Lin Fan said, "Stop. Look at you, it isn't even serious. Your daughter just found a guy, so why do you have to snatch her from him?"
"I understand that you want to send her to some top sect. In my opinion, you look stupid snatching your daughter back but will look so good when you send her to the sect."
Such a situation was truly a godsend and he was able to gain two waves of rage points at once.
Truthfully, how often would one face such a good thing?
"Brother, you…" He Fei had always treated Lin Fan as a normal person, but now it obviously didn't look like he was normal.
He was extremely terrifying.
Lin Fan said, "You are a decent person, so I will help you."
That was what he said.
But what was he even doing?
His initial thought was that there would be trouble here and that they would come to snatch her back. As such, the family would definitely come over.
When that happened it would be fantastic.
He would mock both sides and gain rage points from everyone. Since he could increase his strength, why wouldn't he?
People from Xuantian Sect looked at Lin Fan.
They didn't expect that Lin Fan would choose to clash with the enemy.
All of a sudden, they were quite stunned.
It was like they weren't able to react.
Especially the Xuantian Sect Leader who was frowning. Where did this kid come from? The aura that he exerted was not normal at all.
But Ji Family was too strong.
The Ji Family Old Ancestor might have reached Dao Realm Stage Five and he was someone who all of them had to respect.
"Kid, who are you? This is our own problem, so do you want to become enemies with the Ji Family?" Ji Chang didn't' know where this kid had come from and didn't dare to be too aggressive.
But Lin Fan didn't plan on having a good chat with him.
If he didn't get angry, then where would he get rage points from?
This was why he had to anger him to get them.
Lin Fan was impatient and said, "What enemy? As a Sect Leader what I can't stand is how people like you use your power to bully others. Now, you even want to spoil a good marriage. All of you really are bastards."
Lin Fan too had relied on his strength to do such things many times.
He bullied others before too.
The only thing was that he couldn't remember.
Rage points 999
….
Xuantian Sect disciples all felt that their frustration was being vented for them. Previously they were quite angry at Lin Fan but now they had a very good opinion of him.
But Lin Fan's next words caused that to totally disappear.
"If you want to bully people you should choose the stronger ones. This Xuantian Sect are just weaklings from top to bottom. Although it is nice to squish them, can you have some shame? Especially this Sect Leader, he is just a total coward. Even I do not want to bully him." Lin Fan pointed at Ji Chang and scolded.
Damn!
The Xuantian Sect disciples were so angry they were about to explode.
They had just had a bit of good feeling towards him but he actually spoke such words. It was obvious that he didn't hold them in any regard.
The Xuantian Sect Sect Leader's face flushed red.
They really wanted to burst this kid's head open.
Damn.
That damn fellow.
Ji Chang's face was dark and sunken, "This kid. I am speaking nicely to you but you end up being so rude. I really want to see what kind of strength you have."
The moment he said this, the air around him started to shake.
His Dao Realm Stage Three cultivation exploded out.
As the family chief, Ji Chang's cultivation was really high. If their Old Ancestor became a Stage Five expert, then the Ji Family would become a top family, on the same level as those top sects.
Of course, although they were just barely amongst them, their status would be different and they would come into contact with many more things.

Chapter 418: Betraying Sect So Fast
At that moment, Dao Patterns exploded form Ji Chang's bodies. Each Dao pattern gave off an eye-catching light that swept forward like a waterfall.
The heaven and earth around shook.
Ji Chang's Dao patterns weren't weak. The space around couldn't handle it and it was showing signs of cracking.
When the Xuantian Sect disciples sensed the shocking aura, they felt like they were within a deep abyss. They trembled in fear and didn't even think about fighting back.
"Be careful." He Fei reminded but his voice was really soft. It was like he had given up any thoughts of fighting back when he saw this power. This power was really terrifying and it wasn't something that they could handle.
The Xuantian Sect Sect Leader raised his head and looked forward. Although he was also at Dao Realm, from this surging power, he knew that this vast ocean-like aura was not something he could beat.
"Keke, not bad."
Lin Fan lifted his head and smiled. He pushed his hands forwards.
Instantly, with his palm as the origin, a shocking power burst forth.
With a kacha, the space was like 1,000-layer cake; layer after layer of dimensions appeared and stacked together. In the end, they all gathered together, forming a dimensional space that pushed Ji Chang's Dao pattern back into his body.
"What?"
Ji Chang only felt an unstoppable power press onto him. The Dao pattern that was about to appear couldn't compete with Lin Fan's strength. It roared and was pushed back into his body.
He didn't dare to believe what he was seeing.
"Old fellow, your cultivation is still okay, but at most, you can only bully weaklings. In my eyes, you are still lacking a bit." Lin Fan stood with his arms behind his back. His words and actions exuded calmness.
It was like he didn't hold Ji Chang in any regard at all.
Xuantian Sect Leader couldn't maintain his expressionless face anymore. He felt like he had to listen to those words and that the weaklings referred to his Xuantian Sect.
His gaze towards Lin Fan was filled with grievances.
But he was extremely shocked.
Lin Fan was so young but had such strength. That was just too shocking. If he hadn't witnessed it personally, he wouldn't have believed it at all.
"So amazing."
The Xuantian Sect disciples lifted their heads and looked at Lin Fan.
They were really important to him.
But now it meant nothing. They needed an expert to appear to protect their pride, to let the enemy know that they weren't easy to offend and shouldn't be insulted.
Moreover, Lin Fan was so young. It was a perfect fit for what they were thinking in their hearts.
It was like they were immersed in all this, that the person suppressing the enemy wasn't Lin Fan but them.
Ji Chang's face was so dark. The aura around his body surged.
"You kid, I really underestimated you."
Just at that moment, Ji Chang's aura reached its peak. The Yin Yang Five Element power of stage three exploded out. Heaven and earth were inverted and all sorts of weird powers that normal people couldn't come into contact with surged out from the depths of the void.
It then gathered to form an eye-catching light.
"Heaven Arc Technique."
Ji Chang hollered in rage and punched forwards. The surrounding space condensed to form a streak of light which surged down.
This intense battle was too much for most people. The light was so bright that they couldn't open their eyes.
Lin Fan lifted his head. He didn't feel much pressure and didn't even care about what was happening.
He smiled.
"Decent attack, it passes Dao Realm Stage Two but what a waste…"
There was a loud explosion.
Lin Fan ripped open the dimension and stepped in. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of that light and slapped it.
The light smack his hand and he was unable to fight back. He then pushed it back towards where it came from.
"How did this happen? How are you so strong?" Ji Chang was covered in a cold sweat. When he fought Lin Fan, he could sense that power surging at him and he knew how unstoppable it was.
From start to finish, Lin Fan was extremely calm. He didn't make much unneeded movement. A simple lift of his hand was filled with majestic brilliance.
Shortly after, Lin Fan pushed the light back towards Ji Chang. The two of them exchanged glances but Ji Chang knew that something wasn't right.
When he wanted to react, Lin Fan hammered down toward Ji Chang's face.
He was a dual cultivator. When he was far away he would use special effect skills but when he was close he would just raise his fist to destroy you.
Dao Realm Stage Three was one stage higher than him but truthfully Lin Fan didn't fear anything. It was just one realm and it didn't matter much to him.
Peng!
Each fist that Lin Fan punched out caused the space around to shake. A white glow shone brightly such that one couldn't see what was happening in front of them.
Of course, he could shout out the name of the move and then punch with a glowing fist but there was no need. Each fist of his condensed all the Dao patterns in his body and allowed him to use them all to his greatest ability.
Peng!
The ground shook but no one knew what had happened.
Shortly after, Lin Fan landed with his hands behind his back. He was extremely quick and it caused everyone to be tongue-tied.
Everyone looked at Lin Fan and there was only one thought in their minds.
It was over?
"Boring. I thought you would be strong since you reached Dao Realm Stage Three, but I didn't expect for you to have only just entered it." Lin Fan pouted and was a bit unhappy. He thought that he would be able to hold on for a period of time but it just fell so quickly.
When the Xuantian Sect heard those words, they were so shocked.
Dao Realm was such a lofty goal for all of them.
But in the words of Lin Fan, it was just so-so.
A grey dust sped out from the deep hole and one couldn't see what was going on within.
"Chief." The Ji Family disciples were astonished. The only thought in their minds was that this was impossible and nothing would happen to their chief. He was a Dao Realm Stage Three expert and would become even stronger in the future. How could he be defeated so quickly?
"Eh?"
Lin Fan stopped and turned around. He heard a weak voice from the hole, "You should just know your place and lay down. If you try to stand up you are just bringing more bad luck to yourself."
The grey mist slowly scattered.
One could see that there was a blurry figure in the mist. It was hard to discern anything but it made the Ji Family people cheer.
"Chief."
They all smiled and knew that their chief wouldn't lose so easily.
But when the grey mist disappeared.
Their eyes opened wide.
It was indeed the chief but he was in a bad state. His body was covered in dust. His clothes were in tatters and his wounds were bleeding. His body was swaying from left to right like he was going to fall down at any moment.
"Stop." Ji Chang hollered in rage with much difficulty. His breathing was really unstable. He panted heavily and was in disbelief about what had happened today.
He was only thinking about one thing in his heart.
What happened?
How did he lose?
"Why are you doing this? You are really weak. Proving your strength to me is just stupid. I heard that your Ji Family is about to become a top power, so you definitely have stronger people. If he comes maybe he will be able to fight me, but you are too weak." Lin Fan said.
"Impossible." Ji Chang hollered. His hairs stood on their ends. When one was on the verge of collapse, shocking power would explode from their bodies.
At that moment, 31 Dao Patterns flew out from Ji Chang's body and seeped into the dimension. Shortly after, they appeared beside Lin Fan and tried to bind him.
Each Dao Pattern contained terrifying strength. It was strength from the Dao.
The Dao Pattern bind got tighter and tighter. Normally, the person's skin would tear and their bones would crack. The Dao Patterns would instantly turn them into broken pieces of bone.
But Lin Fan didn't move at all. His expression was just normal and there was no change at all.
Lin Fan squinted his eyes as he looked at Ji Chang struggle one final time. Since that was the case, then he would oblige.
Weng!
An aura exploded from Lin Fan's body and condensed in the air. It formed a giant sword which pierced through the sky. Its sword intent sweeping across everything.
With a kacha, the Dao patterns around him couldn't handle this terrifying sword intent and were showing signs of collapsing.
"Slash!"
Lin Fan hollered. The sword above his head slashed down like a waterfall right at Ji Chang. The light split the sky and before it even landed, it managed to make everyone panic. It was as if the thing slashing down wasn't a sword but the god of death waving his scythe and was prepared to claim all their souls.
Suddenly, the light stopped.
Ji Xuefei blocked her father and she lowered her head as she shouted in fear, "I beg you, don't kill me, father."
"Xuefei."
"Sister-in-law."
He Fei was terrified. He didn't expect that Xuefei would actually run over and block in front of Ji Chang.
He didn't know how strong that move was but the appearance alone meant that it wasn't a normal move.
"Senior, please show mercy." Hefei shouted. He stopped calling him brother but instead respectfully greeted him as senior.
This change was really quick.
Chen Feng didn't know what to say as he always felt that Lin Fan was a normal person.
But how was he even normal?
He thought back to what he did before and felt like Lin Fan was just letting him slap his own face from the start. Only now did those numerous slaps gather into one giant slap that smacked him.
"You really have balls. If I didn't manage to hold back, both of you would have been slashed into meat paste." Lin Fan said.
He struggled a bit.
The Dao patterns around him collapsed.
Pu!
Ji Chang couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. Before he fainted he said, "I don't need an unfilial daughter like you…"
Before he even finished, he fainted.
The sword floating in the air disappeared and everything returned back to normal.
Lin Fan was very satisfied with how the day went.
His rage points grew tremendously once more.
He could improve his cultivation again and he felt great about that.
Suddenly, he realized something shocking.
Faith appeared in some of the disciples.
That's weird.
They met for the first time and he actually came here to cause trouble. However, as disciples they actually had faith?
They were going to betray their sect so quickly?
Or, was he just that charming?

Chapter 419: Sad Child
The entire place was silent.
The battle that took away the light from this place had ended at this point.
When Lin Fan appeared, he was the target of everyone's rage as no one believed that he could bring about any difference.
Some even felt that his words were too harsh and he was nearly attacked by all of them.
Now, those scenes were imprinted in their minds.
They had no choice but to believe him.
Lin Fan suppressed Ji Chang in lightning-quick fashion. If it wasn't for his daughter blocking him, he would have been turned to dust and disappeared from this world.
"Chief."
The eyes of the Ji Family disciples were about to pop out. They stared at Lin Fan with rage and hatred. This was all because of him. If it weren't for him, then things wouldn't have turned out like this.
Ji Xuefei was worried about her father's injuries. Even if father wanted to marry her to someone she didn't like, no matter what, he was her father. She couldn't see him die and not care about it.
"Is father okay?" Xuefei asked.
The disciples who were taking care of the chief did want to thank her but they didn't show it. There were only looks of utter despair on their faces.
What a disaster…
They thought that things would be easily solved, but who knew that such a thing would happen?
The Ji Family disciples carried the chief and left but Lin Fan stopped them, "I didn't agree to all of you leaving. Why are you in such a rush? Hold up, there are still things I want to discuss with all of you."
Once the Xuantian Sect matter was solved, naturally he had to have a good chat with Ji Family.
If they left now, then what was the point in everything he did?
It was not to act cool in front of Xuantian Sect, he wasn't such a shallow person.
"Don't take things too far. This is our Ji Family chief. Our old ancestor is about to finish his secluded cultivation and if he knows what happened, it wouldn't end up good for all of you." The person who spoke was the chief's cousin. Lin Fan's cultivation was so high that it filled him with despair.
Since even cousin couldn't beat him, obviously they couldn't either.
Even if all of them attacked together, Lin Fan would still easily crush them.
Lin Fan said, "What is the cultivation realm of your old ancestor? If he is so amazing, then why didn't he come personally and send all you small fish instead?"
His words were really hurtful.
Small fish?
Then, what was considered not a small fish?
He had seen many experts but he had never seen such a confident and arrogant person.
"My old ancestor is extremely strong and when he exits seclusion he will be Dao Realm Stage Five. Ji Family will also become a top family. At the same time, we have a close relationship with many top sects. Do you think you will be able to suppress us just like this? If he finds out about this, even if you flee to the ends of the skies, he will still kill you." The male hollered in rage.
Lin Fan said, "Eh, what you say makes sense. But if I kill all of you, he probably won't know who did it."
Damn.
The man really wanted to slap himself in the face.
Thinking about it, he realized that Lin Fan's words made sense. Why didn't he realize the problem in what he was saying previously?
Lin Fan saw that his expression was a little off and just gave a little smile.
Some people were just a little dumb.
He was too lazy to say any more to him.
To He Fei, he felt like Lin Fan was playing him from the start. Did all the skilled people play others just like that?
"Sen…Senior, since you are so amazing, then why did you say that you are a normal person. It really made me feel so awkward." He Fei said.
But he was grateful for his help. If it wasn't for Lin Fan, they wouldn't have settled this matter so easily.
Lin Fan said, "I am like a normal person. Maybe I'm just slightly stronger than a normal person."
He then walked up and patted He Fei's shoulder.
"Work hard. I helped you because you seem like a good person but your Junior Brother isn't a nice person. If it wasn't for you I would have beaten him up."
He Fei nodded. He still felt quite proud and felt like he had done an amazing thing.
"Don't worry, senior. I will definitely teach my Junior Brother a lesson." He Fei said respectfully.
He couldn't determine Lin Fan's age.
He obviously couldn't tell bone age and thought that Lin Fan had cultivated his body which resulted in him staying so youthful.
This sad kid really believed what Lin Fan said.
Lin Fan walked in front of the Xuantian Sect Sect Leader with a smile.
When the Sect Leader saw that smile, even if he didn't want to, he had no choice but to smile.
What else could he do?
He was just too strong.
Lin Fan didn't think that he would actually be able to smile and didn't understand how someone could be like that. Being weak wasn't a sin, but he was just a coward. He was so cowardly that Lin Fan didn't know what to say.
"Come, let's discuss something." Lin Fan placed his hand around his shoulder. The two of them were like brothers who hadn't met for many years as they walked into the distance.
They talked and walked at the same time.
The Sect Leader's body was a little stiff and it was obvious that Lin Fan's actions had stunned him.
Lin Fan said calmly, "As a Sect Leader, you really are a coward. They have so few people but you don't dare to fight back. As a Sect Leader didn't you just drag the whole sect down with you?"
"Look at how the disciples are looking at you. They are looking at your with expressions of disappointment. Haiz, what a pity."
The Sect Leader's expression changed. He was slightly unhappy and wanted to say that this had nothing to do with him.
But no matter what, Lin Fan did help save their sect from danger.
Sect Leader said, "He is the chief of Ji Family and is really strong. We are no match for him."
"Eh, actually can't you tell that I am stronger than him?" Lin Fan said.
Sect Leader said, "I can tell that you are stronger than Ji Chang. I really don't know what kind of people can produce someone like you. Even the top sects don't have strength like you."
Lin Fan smiled, "Let's not talk about such nonsense. My goal for coming here is simple; it is to extort you. Don't look around and don't be too shocked. I am very interested in Dao Realm techniques, so as a mid-tier sect, Xuantian Sect should have many rights. Why don't you share them with me?"
"Where is your book depository? Let's have a chat there."
The Xuantian Sect disciples felt like they had misunderstood Lin Fan.
His words were just honest and he was disappointed in their sect. However, he helped solve their problems. Now, the Sect Leader and him were so close and they were always joking with one another.
Many of the disciples had a good impression of Lin Fan and those words from before were tossed to the back of their heads.
The Sect Leader was expressionless but his tone wasn't calm, "My Xuantian Sect didn't offend you, right?"
Lin Fan patted his shoulder. "Eh, you didn't but I think you are easy to bully, so I want to bully you. Do you have anything to say?"
The Sect Leader looked at Lin Fan and rage built up in his heart. He wanted to scold him for that dumb reason. Did he really think that he was easy to bully?
There was no need to say more.
The truth was right there and they couldn't deny it.
Lin Fan said, "Don't think too much. Bring me there and I won't tell anyone. You will still be the Sect Leader and I will also head to Ji Family. Actually, you have won big from this. Don't you think?"
"You are right. I have no reason to reject your request but I hope that you can keep this a secret. If people find out about this, I will lose all my dignity." The Sect Leader said.
He had seen many of such things before.
But this was the first time he had seen someone behave so rudely.
"Don't worry, I am one of the principles. As long as you cooperate with me, we will be best friends. When I face troubles you all will help me and when you face problems I will help too." Lin Fan said.
The Sect Leader didn't continue to say anything as this was the result of being too weak. If he was strong, such a thing wouldn't have happened.
He didn't dare to act arrogantly when the Ji Family came to Xuantian Sect.
Now that this fellow had his arms around his shoulder and demanded for Dao Realm techniques, he had no way to reject him. He felt really frustrated about it.
Very quickly, under the lead of the Sect Leader, they came to the book depository.
"There is an elder in charge. I need to report to him." The Sect Leader said.
"No need, that is too problematic." Lin Fan entered right away. As expected, he felt a hidden aura inside.
Instantly, the old man realized that the sect leader had brought someone in and was going to ask the Sect Leader about what he needed. Before he said anything, his head smacked into the ground and he fainted.
Maybe to the old man, he didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
After all, he guarded the depository and wasn't weak. But he didn't even show himself and was suppressed just like that. This was just too embarrassing.
The Sect Leader's body trembled. He maintained his calm to bring Lin Fan to where the Dao Realm techniques were placed.
Xuantian Sect was only a mid-tier sect and didn't have many Dao Realm techniques. Each one of them was very precious and similar to Domain Realm techniques. They could form Dao patterns. But these Dao patterns were really different from those formed from Dao Realm techniques.
"So few?" Lin Fan frowned and was slightly unhappy.
This was just too few.
Sect Leader said, "This isn't a few. In the mid-tier sects, Xuantian Sect is one of the stronger ones. They were able to acquire these techniques after years of accumulation."
Lin Fan counted and there was a total of 10.
Forget it, it was better than having nothing.
He flipped them and recorded all of them down. Now, he had a total of 15 techniques to train in.
More than 200,000 rage points for one.
To perfect all these into Dao patterns, he needed three million rage points.
The Sect Leader didn't understand what Lin Fan was doing.
He just flipped them simply and placed them back. He was stunned and didn't know what was going on.
"Eh, let's go."
Lin Fan had reached his goal and he was really satisfied. The added joy was that there were many of the disciples who had produced faith.
Although it was just an initial level of faith, that was a good start.
How to raise it was a problem.
Darkness God Domain required faith development.
But the faith now was just not enough.

Chapter 420: Relying On Looks
Outside the main hall, Lin Fan looked at those disciples who produced faith, pointing all of them out and making them step out.
He was wondering where to find men. This was naturally the way to do so.
Xuantian Sect was decent.
Not only did they give him techniques, but he was also able to meet so many disciples who had faith in him. It felt so good. He was pretty much the winner of life.
Those disciples who were selected all looked at Lin Fan in confusion and didn't know what he wanted.
They worshipped Lin Fan and felt like he was a god who had come down to the mortal plane. With his skills, he suppressed that annoying fellow. He was just so handsome and overbearing.
"Sect Leader, these disciples are fated with me, so I will take them with me." Lin Fan said.
He didn't care whether the Sect Leader agreed or not, but he didn't even want to repeat himself.
He walked towards Ji Chang. Next would be regarding the Ji Family. He might have had to clash with the top sects because of them.
Ji Family was connected with the top sects, so if he went to find trouble with them, the top sects wouldn't just sit still and not do anything.
But if Ji Family were cowards like Xuantian Sect, then he wouldn't have to fear anything.
The Sect Leader felt weird and was a little stunned. What did he want with his sect disciples? He wanted to say something but he realized that Lin Fan didn't even give him a chance to speak at all.
He was just totally disregarding him.
It was like he didn't care whether or not he agreed, that the matter was just decided like that.
The Sect Leader felt like he had lost all his face.
"Are all of you willing?" He looked at those disciples and asked. As long as the disciples weren't willing, then he would have one-upped Lin Fan.
"Willing."
Those disciples agreed without even hesitating.
They replied so quickly that they didn't even think.
Damn!
The Sect Leader was a little furious and nearly started to question those people.
Do you all know what you are saying?
Are you all even Xuantian Sect disciples?
Maybe he didn't even need to ask about that.
The truth was right in front of them and their choice was representative of their feelings.
When Lin Fan walked in front of Ji Chang, the Ji Family members blocked in front of him. They stared at Lin Fan in rage. "What do you want to do?"
He just glanced at them and they retreated in terror.
But the frustration and anger in their hearts supported their confidence. They couldn't be afraid. They definitely couldn't be.
Gou'zi understood that he just needed to grab the fellow laying on the ground. As for those blocking his way, they deserved to get beaten up.
Piak!
The Ji Family members laid on the ground and cried. It wasn't that they didn't want to protect their chief but that Lin Fan was just too strong.
"Senior, can you please let my father off?"Ji Xuefei looked at Lin Fan with a pitiful expression.
Lin Fan looked at this woman. Right, he couldn't call her a lady anymore. Although she had never given birth to kids, she could only be called a woman. If her two words hadn't been censored, the author would have used them to make it more descriptive.
"Don't worry, I won't bully your father. I just want to talk to him. He Fei, pull your wife away." Lin Fan said.
He had never beaten up a woman before.
That was true.
That was why he wasn't willing to speak too much nonsense with Ji Xuefei.
He Fei walked up right away. He shook his head at Xuefei to tell her not to say so much.
"Gou'zi, bring the others. It is time that we left." Lin Fan said.
When Lin Fan was about to leave, He Fei ran forwards, "Senior, can you leave him alive and just trash his cultivation?"
Lin Fan smiled. "Kid, your thoughts are quite something."
He wasn't planning to do anything towards Ji Chang but He Fei suggested trashing his cultivation. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to stand in his family anymore.
In the end, he would just have to rely on He Fei.
Eh, this kid is really stunning.
If it was possible, he could help fulfill that wish.
Very quickly, Lin Fan left with the group of them.
Xuantian Sect Sect Leader watched as he left and felt a lot of pent up frustration in his chest. He would remember this humiliation in his heart. Don't let me become strong, or I will take revenge then.
He couldn't show his emotions in front of his disciples, so he could only act that he was fine.
The elders from the sect didn't say a single word from start to finish.
Ji Chang's appearance revealed to them a huge gap. Then, it was Lin Fan's turn which filled them with despair. After those two, how would they dare to speak any nonsense? They just acted like a crowd to enjoy the moment.
Now that the matter had been solved, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Thank god everything was fine.
They were worried that something would happen.
"He Fei, follow me. Also, let me ask you something." The Sect Leader said. He Fei brought this person back, so he had to find out more about his background. Till now, he still didn't know where Lin Fan came from. If he told others that, other people might not have believed him.
"Yes."
He Fei sighed. He ordered Xuefei to take care of his Master before leaving with the Sect Leader.
He knew what he wanted to ask.
The key was, he didn't know too.
….
"Young Master, are we heading to Ji Family now?" Gou'zi asked.
Lin Fan thought about it, "Return to the sect first and send these people back."
Ji Family had a Dao Realm Stage Five old ancestor. He had never fought him before and he didn't know exactly how strong he was but he definitely wouldn't underestimate him.
Ji Family and the top sects were connected. If he was unlucky and bumped into a true expert, that would be a tragedy.
This was why he had to bring Nine Demon.
His strength after merging with Nine Demon was much stronger than him being alone.
Of course, he could merge with other bugs but the strength increase was limited. Nine Demon was the best choice.
Liang Yongqi was also cannon fodder that would be a burden once a fight occured. At the same time, he was close to Zhang Tianshan, so it was good to send him back to spend some time together with Zhang Tianshan.
A few days later, at Martial Path Mountain, Zhang Tianshan was delighted when he saw Liang Yongqi return. He treated Liang Yongqi as his successor. Since Liang Yongqi left for You City, he thought that it was probably his last time seeing him.
Now, it seemed like he was just overthinking.
Lin Fan didn't bother about their reunion and looked at the disciples he brought back, "This is Martial Path Mountain. In the future, all of you will live here. Remember, I have high hopes for all of you. I don't need you to cultivate or work hard. You just have to think about my face every day."
Ah Ha!
The Xuantian Sect disciples were stunned and didn't understand what Lin Fan meant.
But all of that wasn't important.
What was important was that they knew that he was really strong. Didn't you see how bad the Ji Family chief looked? What else could they be unsatisfied about?
Zhu Shen blinked. Young Master Lin had gone out and caused more trouble.
He knew about the Ji Family.
The old ancestor was quite strong and lived longer than them. But as he was low profile and rarely caused trouble, he managed to live until now.
"Young Master Lin, why did you bring him back?" Zhu Shen asked carefully. He thought that since there wasn't much hatred between them, the best choice would be to release them. After all, they were people with a heart.
Lin Fan said, "I am going to head to Ji Family to borrow some things from them. Have things been fine recently?"
"No, things had gone a little off course. We didn't face any problems but news spread that the Alliance has started to give rewards for your capture. The only thing is that no one is believing them." Zhu Shen said.
The Alliance had waited for so long, so how could they not do anything? Their energy harvesting had gone really smoothly and they didn't face any obstruction.
What the Alliance lacked the most was energy resources. Now, they understood why the native land was called the Rich Land.
Their technological products and skills along with the new resources slowly strengthened them.
Lin Fan smiled. The Alliance wanted to capture him. Were they sick in the head? He didn't offend them at all. But forget it, do what you want. In the future, I will slowly take revenge for all of this.
Ji Chang looked around and said, "Release me and I won't blame you for whatever that had happened."
He felt like he was very pitiful.
His daughter was taken by someone and had lost her virginity. He just wanted to ask, "Who did I offend?"
That top sect was waiting too. If he didn't hand them over to her, then how would he be able to explain.
Could he say that?
His daughter had been bedded by someone else. Why couldn't he just find another girl? He did want to say that but he didn't dare to…
This wasn't insulting to one person but it was an insult to the entire sect.
If one didn't personally experience the strength of a top sect, one wouldn't know exactly how strong they were.
Lin Fan smiled, "Okay, stop the nonsense. You won't blame me but I will still want to blame you. You shall stay here for the night and tomorrow I will take you away."
"Zhu Shen, take charge of these people."
Ji Chang wasn't weak, so Gou'zi definitely wouldn't be able to keep him in check. Thus, he had to rely on Zhu Shen.
Zhu Shen felt that Young Master Lin had walked onto a path of no return. This path was really dangerous and he would die at any moment.
But there was nothing he could do.
Master Lin entrusted Young Master Lin to him, so he had to take good care of him. If they faced any danger, they would just charge past it.
That night, Lin Fan returned to his room and looked at his rage points.
Not bad.
He could raise three Dao Realm techniques and form another three Dao patterns.
He used all of his rage points and now he had 80 of them.
People like Ji Chang, who had 31 Dao patterns, were average in the Dao Realm and they weren't considered extremely strong.
The key was that Ji Chang had too few Dao Realm technique Dao patterns out of those 31.
The rest were formed from the techniques that he cultivated in the past and they were slightly weaker.
Lin Fan wanted to refresh and remove all the techniques he cultivated in the past and add them all to Dao Realm techniques.
But forget it.
Domain Realm techniques took 69,000 rage points to reach Return to True. As for one Dao Realm technique, that was 210,000.
He thought about it and felt like it wasn't worth it.
Three Domain Realm Dao patterns wouldn't be much weaker than one Dao Realm technique.
Forget it.
His math wasn't good, and the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. Anyway, he would just take it a step at a time and slowly improve. Dao Realm Stage Three was already not far away.
His improvement speed was a little quick that he terrified even himself.
