Chapter 16 - Chapter 1028 to Chapter 1036

Chapter 1028 A Little Worth In You

"What's this sh*t?" Lin Fan made a domineering entrance as his powers rumbled out. As he slapped out with his palm, his powers transformed into a gigantic palm that turned that overbearingly arrogant and cocky Luo Li into a puddle of blood instantly, the same way he would swat down a fly.

The strength of this Luo Li was pretty decent. Not only that, he had cultivated an unparalleled mystic skill, the Five Qi True Demonic Skill. This was an extremely difficult skill to cultivate, and would require the Power of the Five Qi.

As for the Power of the Five Qi, it would only be formed under fixed circumstances by the living beings of the world.

In the case of Luo Li's group, they chose to cultivate the lowest form of the Five Qi, which is to utilize the Five Qi of mere mortals to aid his cultivation. If they could invoke wars between powerful beings, the Five Qi emanated out would be even more horrifying. In the end, that would cause their Five Qi True Demonic Skill to turn extremely heaven revolting.

But, given the strength of Luo Li and his group, how could they have the capabilities to incite any form of war between powerful beings?

"Sh*t like this isn't worth my time." Lin Fan stood in the void and spread out his palm, taking in the aura that was emanated out of Luo Li and gathering it in his palm.

Sensing it, he could only let out a look of disdain—simple and plain Five Qi, the lowest form of all kinds of Five Qi.

BAM!

Lin Fan gripped his fingers together exploded the Qi immediately.

"Big Bro!" Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu were both so emotional right now that tears were almost flowing down their faces. Now that their Big Bro ha awakened, their lives from this point forth would definitely be much more relaxed!

"Now, you both fellas! Why did you bury me underground?" Lin Fan snorted out coldly. However, he did not have the intention of blaming both of them. Looking at everything before him right now, he already knew what was happening.

"Big Bro, it's a long story!" Both Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu sighed out as though they had a lot of troubles in their minds but did not where they should start from.

"Alright, that'll do! Settle the situation here first before talking about it." Lin Fan's gaze was focused ahead as he took a step forth.

Luo Li's junior brother stood in the void with his eyes wide open like those of a cow. He was shivering uncontrollably as sweat poured down his forehead like beads of water.

His mind was entirely filled with the scene from earlier on. His senior brother had simply been slapped to death by this person, leaving behind not even a single scrap!

Just who in the world was this person? How could he be this formidable!

At this moment, Lin Fan appeared beside him. It seemed as though even time stood still in the void right now.

The only things that could be heard were saliva being gulped down and the bobbing of one's throat.

An aura of imminent death shrouded him as his hands and feet turned icy cold. It was as though he had just met the most horrifying existence in this entire world.

"Aren't you quite the brazen one?" Lin Fan stood beside him and spoke with a soft, calm tone that was neither happy nor angry. However, there was an implied meaning hidden within those words, 'You think you're really strong, aren't you?'

The junior brother felt his throat clamp up for a moment as his mouth went dry. Both his hands were trembling right now as he truly wanted to resist. However, for some reason, it felt as though his entire body was being rooted on the spot by some ridiculous aura, rendering him totally immobile.

"I am…!" He wanted to declare the name of his sect so that the other party would fear him. However, before he was even finished with his words, an extremely sharp Sword Will pierced through his body.

"I don't care which sect you are from. None of that matters to me." Lin Fan spoke up indifferently as his Sword Will streaked throughout the entire place, mincing the ant beside him into shreds immediately. In fact, even the Laws of True Immortals within his body were shattered before turning into pure powers and fusing back into the Heaven and Earth.

He was simply way too weak, so Lin Fan gained no experience points at all.

With the death of the Luo Brothers, a series of black mist floated out from amidst those soldiers of the Yue Country who were just like wild beasts right now. It was as though this black mist was some sort of a Demonic God that was possessing them, now evaporating into nothingness.

As though they had just lost every last bit of strength they possessed, those soldiers from the Yue Country collapsed onto the ground, crippled.

Lin Fan lowered his head and took a glance while revealing a smile of contempt on his lips.

"To think that they would resort to such cheap and underhanded tricks."

He had already seen through the fact that those two were using mystic skills to invoke the potential within these mortal soldiers. As a result, their Essence, Spirit, and Vitality burned up furiously before being expended completely, causing them to lose their lifeforce as well.

This was an evil mystic skill.

However, it seemed as though the Luo Brothers did not have the intention of letting these soldiers of the Yue Country head back alive in the first place. They must have wanted them all to die here and be converted into the purest form of Five Qi to supply their cultivation.

But at this moment, the one who was the most taken aback was Feng Yanyun. She knew that the Big Bro of these two had been in slumber the entire time. By now, it had been a full three years.

Initially, she had thought that the reason why he was in slumber was that he must have received some substantial mental blow or something. With that, she didn't think that he could be THAT strong either. But at this moment, she truly understood the reality.

How was this even strong anymore? This was plain horrific!

"Your Big Bro…" Feng Yanyun did not know what to say any longer.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu let out a proud smile, "Our Big Bro is extremely strong! With him around, there's nothing to fear at all!"

This was an unshakable trust.

This was the case even with the Heaven and Earth Net being in possession of the Old Master Inferno Requiem. Even under such circumstances, they weren't fearful in the least bit in their hearts. With their Big Bro around, the only path awaiting that fella was that of death.

When she looked up at that upright figure in the void, Feng Yanyun's eyes shone with disbelief.

Unimaginable…This was truly unimaginable!

At this moment, Lin Fan looked up at the Old Master Inferno Requiem, who was in the midst of cultivating the Heaven and Earth Net, as he let out a slight grin.

"Old man, are you trying to cultivate the treasure of my Little Bros?" Lin Fan asked.

The Old Master Inferno Requiem had long noticed what was happening on the scene. However, it did not bother him in the least bit. The fact that the Luo Brothers were both killed wasn't something that had him surprised.

He was a Golden Immortal. Killing those two trashes was something he himself could do in a split second.

"Hmph! I only want this Supreme Grade Immortal Weapon. I will not bother and interfere with you guys. If you know what's good for you, you had better scram off quickly. Otherwise, once I'm done with cultivating this Supreme Grade Immortal Weapon, I'll take you guys to warm my hands!" The Old Master Inferno Requiem barked out.

"HAHAHA!" Lin Fan roared out laughing, "To think that a mere Golden Immortal state lower level being would dare to be so cocky! If I were to let someone like you get to Golden Immortal full cultivation state or even higher levels, I'm afraid the world wouldn't have enough space to hold the ego of an old fart like you by then, would it?"

"Junior! Courting death!" The Old Master Inferno Requiem was enraged as he slapped down with his palm, sending forth an unparalleled mystic skill bursting rampantly.

"Heavenly Inferno Requiem Frost!"

His aura burst forth as an Ominous Qi blanketed the entire world. At the same time, the void seemed to be filling up with a chilling aura instantly. Wherever it passed by, everything present froze up. Even the Spirit Qi itself was being locked in ice at this moment.

An extremely bone-chilling aura surged through the Heaven and Earth.

This was an unparalleled mystic skill that could freeze people into ice cubes while sending an Ominous Qi into their bodies. This was no ordinary mystic skill; it was something that only Golden Immortal beings could deploy.

If not for the fact that Lin Fan was around here, Qiu Zhanyu and the others would have long taken in the Ominous Qi into their bodies. With that, the chilling aura would have frozen them up entirely, turning them into living dead men.

"Some capabilities there..." Lin Fan chuckled out. However, in an instant, his lips curled up slightly, "But, it's a pity that it's way too far from enough."

Pshew!

Dimensional Mystic Skill!

With a single flash, Lin Fan appeared in the face of Old Master Inferno Requiem.

When the Old Master, who was busy cultivating the Heaven and Earth Net with his entire force, caught sight of this figure that appeared before him, he was stunned before exclaiming out in astonishment, "You…!"

Lin Fan pointed out with his finger, which seemed as though it was that of a God.

"Golden Immortal lower level... I guess you've got a little worth to you." Lin Fan smiled out calmly. However, from the Old Master Inferno Requiem's perspective, that casual finger was way too horrifying, making him tremble in fear.

Chapter 1029 One Hell Of A Loss!

Lin Fan's strength right now was far stronger than three years ago. And, this was all thanks to the Boundless Future Buddha Lord.

During the three years he had spent in that space, Lin Fan dueled fiercely with the Boundless Future Buddha Lord. Not only were countless mystic skills of martial arts deployed, it also allowed Lin Fan to cultivate them to a pinnacle state.

Furthermore, when he defeated the Boundless Future Buddha Lord eventually, that consciousness of his had given Lin Fan an extraordinary amount of experience points.

Even though he had only pointed out with a single finger, that was something that possessed the utmost will state of the Sword Dao. This was even sicker after Lin Fan had fused all of his comprehension together into a single Sword Will.

Even the top tiered mystic skills of the Heaven and Earth Sect would definitely not be a match for this single finger move.

"You…!" The Old Master Inferno Requiem let out a look of shock. It seemed as though all the powers in his body had been severed by this single Sword Will, causing a vacuum to appear.

With that, all his powers seemed to be frozen, as he could not work them at all!

Seizing this moment, Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu snatched back the Heaven and Earth Net instantly.

Ding!

The finger was pointed on the forehead of the Old Master Inferno Requiem, for whom, this was something extremely horrifying, causing sweat to pour heavily.

"Wait up!" The Old Master Inferno Requiem spoke up as his eyes was filled with an endless amount of fear. He had discovered that the strength of this guy before him was far from ordinary. Even he was not a match for this person at all!

"I can't wait." Lin Fan's lips curled into a grin as he pointed out his finger. Like water ripples, circles started spreading out layer after another.

The Old Master Inferno Requiem's eyes opened wide as his body shivered slightly as a Sword Will pierced out of Lin Fan's finger, penetrating right into his body

No one else knew what was going on.

When Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu looked at what was happening up in the void, their hearts were filled with bewilderment. They did not know what their Big Bro was doing with this Old Master Inferno Requiem.

But by the looks of it, it seemed extremely strange.

Creak!

All of a sudden, a clean, crisp sound rang through the void. It sounded just like glass breaking, clean and brittle, yet ever so chilling to hear.

"How could this be! I, the Old Master Inferno Requiem, have reigned over the world throughout my entire life! How can I possibly fall here?" The heart of the Old Master Inferno Requiem was filled with indignance. He was a Golden Immortal being who had reigned supreme over the entire world with a lifetime of groundbreaking cultivation!

The only reason he had come here this time around was that he had heard about a Supreme Grade Immortal Weapon from Luo Li!

But, to think that he would have to fall here!

Lin Fan placed his hands behind his back and glanced over at the Old Master Inferno Requiem, then turned around to head over to the side of Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu.

"Big Bro, he…!" Qiu Zhanyu looked over at the Old Master Inferno Requiem up in the void nervously. He did not know what was going on right now.

Crack!

Just as he was feeling perplexed over the situation, the face of the Old Master Inferno Requiem suddenly started shattering apart into shards that disappeared into the void one after another.

The body of his that was hidden beneath his clothes started breaking apart in the same way. Thereafter, an infinite amount of Sword Wills burst forth from his body, filling the world with a blinding brilliance.

The body of the Old Master Inferno Requiem was just like a Supernova right now. The light was so blinding that no one dared to look at it directly.

BAM!

An explosion boomed out in the next instant, and that malevolent looking Old Master Inferno Requiem vanished just like smoke!

'Ding…Congratulations on killing Golden Immortal lower level Old Master Inferno Requiem.'

'Ding…Experience Points +…'

'Ding…Obtained Unparalleled Mystic Skill, Heavenly Inferno Requiem Frost.'

Lin Fan had not expected that a mystic skill would pop up after the explosion! He then took it over in his hands.

This mystic skill wasn't weak at all. However, it was just that the Old Master Inferno Requiem's strength wasn't all that great, and on top of that, he had met with a sicko like Lin Fan. If it were an ordinary person who had encountered the Old Master Inferno Requiem, their only outcome would most probably have had been death.

After Lin Fan learned the mystic skill, yet another Mystic Skill Rune appeared within his body.

As he flipped his palm around, a frosty air rumbled out, freezing even space itself. This was finally an Unparalleled Mystic Skill that he could take out to use.

"To think that the Old Master Inferno Requiem would have died just like that." When Feng Yanyun caught sight of everything before her, she was so astonished that she no longer knew what to say.

Lin Fan looked at Feng Yanyun and the elderly man beside her, feeling a little confused. He did not know who these two were, or how Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu got to know of them.

Seeing the look on his face, Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu relayed to Lin Fan straightaway everything that had happened in the past few years.

The moment Lin Fan heard everything, he froze up, "Three years!"

"That's right, Big Bro! You had fainted over for three years already!" Qiu Zhanyu said.

"I'm going to f*ck that bloody darned Boundless Future Buddha Lord! To think that he would f*cking steal away from me three years of my time!" Now that Lin Fan realized he was asleep for a whole three years, his heart burned with an endless rage.

This was too darned inhumane!

At the start, Lin Fan was still feeling that he had earned by destroying that consciousness of the Boundless Future Buddha Lord.

But now that he knew he had fainted over for 3 years, he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Bloody hell! He had wasted yet another three years!

If he had spent those three years on killing powerful beings, how formidable would his cultivation state have been right now?

Perhaps, he might have even reached that Heavenly Lord state or whatnot by now!

Lin Fan was filled with an immense regret! In fact, he even had an impulse to go kill the Boundless Future Buddha Lord mercilessly!

But then, he merely sighed out to vent the unhappiness in his heart.

'Forget it! Forget it!'

Now that things had already come to this state, what else could he say?

"Thank you." Feng Yanyun spoke up. In the past, she had the courage to try and retain Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu. But, facing Lin Fan right now, she did not harbor such thoughts at all.

That was because she knew that this person before her wasn't someone who could be restrained by a small little city such as the Maple Forest City.

Lin Fan nodded his head without saying anything more.

Looking at how this man was so cold to her, Feng Yanyun felt a little awkward in her heart. However, she did not dare to feel any bit of displeasure at all. Even though she was the ruler of the Maple Forest City, she knew that she was nothing but an ant in the eyes of such a powerful being.

"Now, what about you guys? Are you guys going to continue following me or will you stay in this Maple Forest City?" Lin Fan asked.

"Of course, we're following you, Big Bro! Now that you have slain that Luo Li, this Maple Forest City will be safe from now on, Big Bro!" Qiu Zhanyu chuckled out.

"That's right! The Maple Forest City of today has the capabilities to protect itself! In the past three years that we've been here, the two of us had set up a martial arts school. Even though it's not at a point where everyone is learning martial arts, there are still plenty of pretty capable students!" Jin Zhengu added on.

Lin Fan chuckled out, "To think that both of you would have done so many things in the past three years. However, rest at ease. Since this is your hometown, I will naturally not sit idly by either."

At that moment, Lin Fan flipped out his palm, deploying the Source Sealing Technique instantly.

As he drew a line with his finger, a Sword Will was infused within.

After the deployment of the Source Sealing Technique, the entire Maple Forest City was enveloped up within it. The Sword Will that was infused in was even Lin Fan's personal one. This was a Sword Will that could kill even Golden Immortal powerful beings. He reckoned that this should be powerful enough.

"I've already laid down my seal at this place. Even if you guys were to meet with enemies in the future, there shouldn't be too many problems." Lin Fan said.

"Thank you, Big Bro!" Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu could naturally sense how formidable the formation enveloping the Maple Forest City was. Even if it were them, there was probably no way they could possibly withstand it.

Feng Yanyun was especially grateful. If she could, she would even offer herself in marriage. However, she knew that she wasn't worthy of Lin Fan.

"Big Bro, where are we headed off to now?" Qiu Zhanyu asked.

Lin Fan hesitated for a moment. Honestly, he wasn't too clear about where they should go now himself.

"We'll return to the sect first. It has been three years since I left. They might have even presumed me dead by now." Lin Fan said.

Chapter 1030 Could He Have Defected?

Lin Fan brought Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu to leave the Maple Forest City, heading in the direction of the Heaven and Earth Sect.

After leaving the sect for three years, Lin Fan had to head back and make up for it properly. This was especially the case with his situation right now. He had to request for some information about dangerous places and frightening people to look out for.

His path of hunting had to be initiated real soon.

"They're gone." The elderly man beside Feng Yanyun spoke up as his eyes shone with a sharp glint. He had not expected that he would be able to meet with a powerful being of that level in his lifetime.

Slaying Golden Immortals just like slaying dogs...He handled it simply with ease. That was something absolutely horrifying for him to even think of.

"To think that the Maple Forest City would have an affinity of this sort." Feng Yanyun said.

"That's right! Now that we have this mysterious formation above us, it will be able to protect the Maple Forest City from external assaults. This will be more than enough." The elderly man remarked as he admired the formation that was shrouding the Maple Forest City right now.

This formation was mysterious beyond anything he had ever seen. At the same time, there was a Power of Killing seeping out of it. If anyone were to try attacking the Maple Forest City, they would most likely be slain in an instant.

Formidable! A power of this level was truly formidable indeed!

…

"Are we heading over to your sect now, Big Bro?" Qiu Zhanyu asked curiously.

"Yes." Lin Fan nodded his head. He did not know what sort of changes the Heaven and Earth Sect had undergone in the past three years. This was something that left him curious as well.

"Hehe! We can be considered as people who have seen major sects before! The name of the Heaven and Earth Sect is renowned. In the past, we had tried to enter the Heaven and Earth Sect as well, ultimately in vain. So, we decided to forget about it ever since." Jin Zhengu reminisced about the past while saying.

Lin Fan looked at the both of them and chuckled out momentarily, "If both of you want to join, you can do it, you know?"

Qiu Zhanyu was excited at the thought of it for a second before deciding to scrap it, "We had better not join it. Following you is as good as joining it, Big Bro!"

"Yes, that makes sense!" Jin Zhengu nodded his head in agreement.

"Haha!" Lin Fan burst out in laughter, "Let's not talk about it then. It's not as though you guys will suffer by following me, will you?"

…

A few days later, the Heaven and Earth Sect appeared in Lin Fan's sight.

Glancing over, Lin Fan realized that the Heaven and Earth Sect was extremely lively. This was especially the case for the skies above the sparring arena. Powers were rumbling so furiously that even the void was getting distorted over it.

"Could there be another Grand Competition again?" Lin Fan was somewhat intrigued as he headed over for the mountain entrance.

…

At the mountain entrance, there were two disciples who were chatting while looking over at the distance, revealing a look of thirst on their faces.

"It seems to be really exciting over there! It's a pity we've got to guard the entrance." One of the disciples said.

"No matter how exciting it is, it's none of our business. We've only just joined the sect. If we're not the ones to guard the entrance, who would?" The other disciple replied.

"Someone's here." When the two disciples, who were in the midst of chatting, caught sight of Lin Fan, they headed forth immediately.

Lin Fan took out his token, which was a symbol of the Remnants. Naturally, the two disciples recognized the token before looking over at Lin Fan politely, "Senior brother."

"Yes." Lin Fan nodded his head and entered the sect.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu, who were following behind him, puffed out their chest and walked in as well, feeling extremely proud.

After Lin Fan's group entered, the two disciples started discussing questioningly.

"That was a senior brother just now. Moreover, he is also a Remnant! However, we've seen all of the Remnants before, but somehow, I don't recall ever seeing him before." One of the disciples remarked curiously.

"That's not a surprise, is it? Out of the ten great Remnants, there was always a seat that was empty. Since when had you seen all of them before?" The other disciple replied.

"Ah! Could that person from earlier be…?" The first disciple exclaimed. Even though they had entered the sect not too long ago, they had heard of the rumors before.

The number one Remnant in the entire sect had suppressed all the other Remnants such that they couldn't lift their heads high! Not only that, he had left the sect for three years and did not return at all. He was extremely mysterious.

…

"Big Bro, the Heaven and Earth Sect is so lively!" Qiu Zhanyu looked left and right while exclaiming.

"That's obvious. Major sects are always bustling with life." Lin Fan smiled out and then looked over at the distance, "Let us head over there to check it out."

…

The sect's Main Hall, on the sparring arena…

"You've let me win." A man said while cupping his fists together. However, his eyes shone with a look of contempt.

On the viewing platform…

"Grandmaster Han! Gosh, it's embarrassing, but my sect's Remnant has managed to win somehow with luck once more." The Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect revealed a smug smile.

The Kunlun God Sect had always exchanged activities with the Heaven and Earth Sect. This time around, it was time for the Heaven and Earth Sect to play the host. However, their motive as the guest was all just a front. The main purpose for their trip was to check out the strength of the Heaven and Earth Sect's next generation.

"Doesn't matter." Han Juntian smiled out calmly as though it did not bother him at all. However, he was just cussing out in his heart.

What the f*ck was up with these Remnants? All of them seemed so weak as though they hadn't eaten at all!

At the same time, how could the strength of the Kunlun God Sect's Remnants be this strong! They were so strong that it was a little sick!

"Next up, the duel is between the Kunlun God Sect's Remnant, Yan Qingxue, and the Heaven and Earth Sect's Remnant, Ling Wuzun."

The Heaven and Earth Sect's Remnants had been losing more than they had won. Out of six matches, they had only won two. This was pretty embarrassing indeed.

Ling Wuzun looked left and right while revealing an exasperated expression.

"Junior Brother Ling, steady up! You've got to win this!" Remnant Jian Cangqiong said with a frightfully pale face.

He had already lost on the arena earlier on. In the past few years, he had already reached the True Immortal state full cultivation level, and was just that step away from the Mystic Immortal state.

But, to think that this disciple of the Kunlun God Sect would be even sicker! He was taken down in merely ten moves! That was indeed an extremely wretched state to be in.

"I'll try my best." What else could Ling Wuzun say? Other than trying his best, there was no other way out!

The disciples of the Kunlun God Sect seemed as though they had popped down some pills, and were unusually ferocious. They weren't folks that ordinary people could deal with.

Furthermore, given the situation right now, he did not have that much confidence either.

When he looked at how smug the disciples of the Kunlun God Sect were looking, Ling Wuzun just could not get his spirits up. Bloody hell! He could lose his own face as badly as he wanted, but he could absolutely not cause the sect to lose face!

At this moment, Ling Wuzun thought of that accursed number one Remnant. That was the fella he hated the most, Lin Fan.

Bloody hell! If that fella were here at the sect, things wouldn't have gotten this pathetic as well! Motherf*cking hell!

While Ling Wuzun could never forget the humiliation that Lin Fan had handed him, he WAS rather hoping that the latter would appear given the current situation. He would rather have that fella take the limelight than have these disciples of the Kunlun God Sect show their might before the Heaven and Earth Sect.

On the seats of the elders at this moment, Qing Yangzi's face was flashing with green and white colors, evidently awkward.

To think that they would have lost this badly. This was simply way too embarrassing!

He then secretly turned to look over at the Grandmaster's expression, and discovered that the latter's face was totally composed. However, even then, he could not hide that bit of anger burning in his eyes.

'F*cking hell! Where has that lad died off to? Not a single peep of news for the past three years! Could he have met with some old monster outside and defected away to rely on others right away?'

Honestly, Qing Yangzi could not shrug that idea off his mind entirely.

On the sparring arena…

Ling Wuzun looked at this woman before him, who was so beautiful that she seemingly could not get any more beautiful right now. He cupped his fists gently and introduced himself, "Remnant Ling Wuzun."

Yan Qingxue smiled softly before giving him a disdainful look, "That name is pretty domineering. Wuzun, huh? But, we'll see if you've got the strength to back it up. You had better take out all of your strength. Otherwise, it's going to be really embarrassing if you lose too badly."

Ling Wuzun frowned, evidently displeased. However, he did not dare to underestimate her in his heart. He had heard of the rumors of this Yan Qingxue before. Even though her cultivation state was similar to his, her powers were extremely profound, with a deep source. Not only that, the mystic skills she deployed were extremely tyrannical. If he did not take her seriously, he might really be the one on the losing end.

Chapter 1031 I"ll Do It Then

At the seating area of the Kunlun God Sect Remnants…

The nine Remnants sat there in a lofty manner. One of them chuckled out in amusement, "How many moves do you guys think that he can hold out against our junior sister?"

Another Remnant shook his head, "That's hard to say now. If junior sister were to get serious, she would be able to take him down within ten moves."

"But, if junior sister feels like toying with him, it might take a little longer. Although, that WOULD cause this Ling Wuzun's face to be lost really big time then!" A Remnant remarked.

"Hahaha! That's what I think as well! Even though our junior sister is a female, she isn't someone to be underestimated at all."

…

At the seat of the Grandmaster…

"Grandmaster Han, what do you make of this female disciple?" The Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect asked while smirking.

Han Juntian took a casual glance. "Passable."

"Fufufu!" The Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect chuckled out softly before muttering out, "However, you must not underestimate her. I think that disciple of yours is going to be in for a rough time now."

Han Juntian did not reply as he focused on the situation on the sparring arena.

"Please enlighten me then," Ling Wuzun said before his body moved instantly. With a stern expression on his face, he deployed a mystic skill immediately. As he covered the entire sky with his palm, his powers rumbled out to try and suppress Yan Qingxue.

On the other side, Yan Qingxue's body budged, "Not bad, not bad. To use the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Palm and seal up the Heaven and Earth in order to lock down my movements… However, it's a pity that your mastery of it is far from perfect."

Yan Qingxue focused slightly as a long whip appeared in her hands, snow white all over. When it made contact with the ground, the entire sparring arena froze up because of it!

Waving out her hand, her brandished whip struck the air, causing the void to freeze up equally as well.

"How about now? Are you starting to feel that your motion is getting sluggish?" Yan Qingxue asked.

Ling Wuzun was feeling a little pissed in his heart. Bloody hell! It was just a duel. Did she have to spout out so much crap? His body then shuddered furiously before giving off a brilliant glare that was as bright as a scorching sun. This beam of light surged up into the sky, penetrating through the void.

The frozen voids melted instantly.

"Not bad, not bad! I guess the Remnants of the Heaven and Earth Sect do have SOME capabilities after all. But, this is still not enough just yet," Yan Qingxue said with a low tone as she tossed out the long whip in her hands. Like a gigantic dragon, it spiraled out and pierced toward Ling Wuzun's chest.

"Daluo Emperor Heaven Palm! Suppress!"

Ling Wuzun had made quite a decent improvement in the past few years as well, having cultivated a number of pretty formidable mystic skills.

This was especially the case for this Daluo Emperor Heaven Palm, which had an extraordinary impact.

Daluo represented the eternity of space, transcending through everything. The might of this palm strike was exceptional, shrouding the entire sparring arena within it and leaving Yan Qingxue with nowhere to run.

"Good!" When Jian Cangqiong caught sight of this scene, he could not help but exclaim out.

The disciples started discussing as well.

"Senior Brother Ling's strength is so strong! That mystic skill is a famous unparalleled mystic skill of our sect!"

"That woman is done for sure! In the hands of Senior Brother Ling, how many moves can she hold out for?"

"These Remnants of the Kunlun God Sect are truly way too arrogant! Do they really think that our Heaven and Earth Sect's senior brothers are useless?"

"Fight on, senior brother!"

…

When the Remnants of the Kunlun God Sect saw this, they started discussing amongst themselves as well.

"Not bad! Ling Wuzun has managed to master this mystic skill to a certain extent."

"That's right. Most people would definitely not be able to defend against it. But against junior sister, it is still too far off."

"Guys, take a look. Junior sister seems like she's tired of playing with the other party now!"

"It's over. The Kunlun God Sect is going to sweep across the entire Heaven and Earth Sect. This competition will be enough for the Kunlun God Sect to suppress the Heaven and Earth Sect for a full hundred years now!"

…

"Boring, boring! Here I was thinking about how strong you might possibly be. But to think that this would be all you amount to." Yan Qingxue's lips curled into a smirk as she looked at Ling Wuzun, "Given your strength, if you were placed in the Kunlun God Sect, I'm afraid that you would merely be able to join the ranks of the Inner Sect disciples."

"You…!" Ling Wuzun was about to spit out blood right now. This b*tch before him was too damned vicious! To think that she would dare spout out such harsh words to humiliate him!

Compared to that Lin Fan, she was even more venomous!

"One must never be too careless in a duel." Right at this moment, Yan Qingxue appeared before Ling Wuzun all of a sudden.

Ling Wuzun's face was shocked as he revealed a panicked expression. He wanted to push the other party back. But by this time, it was all too late. The only thing he could see was Yan Qingxue's feet that stomped down on his face.

BOOM!

The entire sparring arena reverberated out as those hard tiles of the ground began exploding, causing the entire sparring arena to be covered in a sandstorm.

"What's going on?"

"Senior Brother Ling couldn't have lost, could he?"

"That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

After the dust cleared, everyone was absolutely dumbfounded when they caught sight of the situation on the sparring arena, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Senior Brother Ling had truly been defeated!

There was a sharp throbbing pain in the hearts of the Heaven and Earth Sect's Remnants. It was yet another bloody defeat.

"Your strength is just simply way too weak." Yan Qingxue trampled Ling Wuzun down on her feet directly. For any Remnant, this was an absolutely intolerable act. This was especially the fact considering the shame of being stomped upon by a woman. How was he to face the world from now on?

"DAMN IT!" Ling Wuzun roared out in rage.

Yan Qingxue's face shone with a look of contempt, "Stop barking now. Your strength is simply too weak when compared to mine. Even if I were to give you a hundred years of cultivation, you would never be my match."

"TAKE OFF YOUR FOOT!" Ling Wuzun had not expected that he would be defeated at such lightning speed that he wouldn't be able to react to it at all.

That single foot seemed to have crossed through time and space, arriving at his face in the blink of an eye.

T-this…!

"Do you admit defeat?" Looking down at Ling Wuzun who was trampled under her feet, Yan Qingxue's face revealed a haughty expression. However, Ling Wuzun did not reply as he continued to struggle against it.

Even though Yan Qingxue was a female, the strength she possessed was heavy like a crushing mountain that suppressed down on Ling Wuzun's face mercilessly.

When the Remnants of the Kunlun God Sect caught sight of this, they burst out into laughter.

"Junior sister is about to break someone's mind again!"

"HAHA! I'm afraid that from now on forth, the Heaven and Earth Sect is going to have a crippled Remnant. Anyone who was humiliated by junior sister before could barely ever regain their confidence at all!"

"However, I've got to say that the Grandmaster of the Heaven and Earth Sect can truly hold his temper."

"Even if he can't hold his temper, so what? This is a competition between the Remnants. Everything is fair and square. If one loses, they can only blame it on their lack of skills!"

…

On the Grandmaster's seat…

"That's too much of them!" The Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect apologized. However, his eyes shone with a look of gloating glee.

Han Juntian sat there with the fury in his heart about to explode out. However, he soon calmed himself down.

The Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect looked over at Yan Qingxue, "Be moderate in your actions. Take care not to spoil the relationship between our sects."

"Got it, Grandmaster." Yan Qingxue nodded her head. She then kicked Ling Wuzun away with her feet as she scoffed out coldly, "Hmph! Useless piece of trash! To think that you can even become a Remnant with that bit of strength. What a bloody joke!"

Yan Qingxue then looked over at the Remnants of the Heaven and Earth Sect, "Your Lady here hasn't had enough of a fight! Is there not a single Remnant in the Heaven and Earth Sect who can fight?"

She used the long whip in her hands to point out at two other Remnants, "I don't recall both of you having entered the sparring arena yet. Alright then! How about you guys come and spar with me so that I can check out your strength?"

The many disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect were angered at this moment.

At the start, they were still thinking somewhere along the lines of how pretty this sweet lady was. Some of them even had a slight crush on her. But at this point, they could no longer hold their anger in.

Cocky! She was way too cocky!

She was just belittling all the Remnants of the Heaven and Earth Sect, showing them no respect at all!

The Remnants of the Heaven and Earth Sect who had yet to enter the sparring arena were incensed as well. However, the strength of this Yan Qingxue was far from ordinary. Even if they were to head up, they might not be able to win against her.

At that point, the entire place fell into an awkward silence.

"Hmph! Even if your strength can't make it, don't you guys even have the bit of courage to come onto the sparring arena? What a huge disgrace!" Yan Qingxue declared haughtily.

"You…!" At this moment, one of the Remnants bolted upright. His fists were gripped tightly as he was prepared to head onto the sparring arena.

But right after he did that, a voice traveled from amongst the spectating disciples.

"I'll do it then."

When the masses present heard that voice, all of their heads turned over in a flush.

Chapter 1032 One Move, Just One Move

Lin Fan had been observing from below for some time now, feeling that this was really a huge loss of face for the Heaven and Earth Sect this time around. To think that they would only win two matches in this competition. That was pretty pathetic!

Out of the nine great Remnants of the Heaven and Earth Sect, there were two unfamiliar faces. Lin Fan did not know if two of them had been demoted after losing to Inner Sect disciples or they had chosen to step down from the Seat of the Remnants to turn into ordinary elders.

However, none of that mattered to Lin Fan.

As for Qing Yangzi, whose face was filled with embarrassment up till this point, he bolted upright emotionally when he caught sight of the person who had walked out of the crowd. Flushing red entirely, he shouted, "This lad has finally decided to head back!"

The surrounding disciples broke out in chatter.

"Who is that person?"

"I've got no idea. But, he looks extremely familiar, as though I've seen him somewhere or something."

"Are you guys stupid or what! That's the number one Remnant, Senior Brother Lin!"

"Holy sh*t! That's the guy who had trampled down on Dao Wentian and assaulted Elder Huo with his fist relentlessly? THAT Senior Brother Lin?"

"That's the one! I've heard that he had headed out of the sect for three straight years without returning now! To think that he would be back at this time!"

When Su Hongchen and the others caught sight of Lin Fan, their expressions were equally dumbfounded.

After three years, they did not even dare to imagine the extent of Senior Brother Lin's growth. Even though their strength had been raised by a fair bit as well, they did not dare to compare themselves with Senior Brother Lin.

Senior Brother Lin was a supreme paragon, not someone they could ever be on the same level with.

Han Juntian heaved a sigh of relief at this moment as well. He had quite a bit of confidence toward the strength of that lad. However, the fact that there was no news of him for the past three years did have him feeling a little skeptical at first. If not for the fact that he was still holding on to that Remnant token, Han Juntian would have suspected that he might have jumped ships.

When Ling Wuzun, who was being suppressed right now, caught sight of the figure before him, his eyes shone with a deep indignance momentarily. However, there was more of fear within them as well.

Three years ago, he was taken down by Lin Fan so badly that he did not even have a chance to retaliate. But now that this guy was back, Ling Wuzun's heart was actually filled with hope instead, wishing that he could take down the Kunlun God Sect harshly.

Lin Fan looked down at Ling Wuzun and shook his head, "It's been three years since I've seen you, yet you are still as useless as ever. To think that your cultivation state would have only been raised to that mere point."

The moment Ling Wuzun heard these words of Lin Fan, his face changed immediately as a ball of flames burst forth in his heart. The moment this fella is back, he came straight to humiliate him again! However, Ling Wuzun did not dare to fight back anymore. This person before him was the number one Remnant, and his senior brother at that.

"You are right in your scolding, senior brother." Ling Wuzun lowered his head and replied in respect.

"Yes… Since you know that it's your bad, hurry up and scram back to train up properly." Lin Fan placed his hands behind his back, filled with a domineering disposition.

Ling Wuzun nodded his head immediately, "Yes."

Lin Fan then cast his sight onto the seating area of the Remnants. The remaining eight great Remnants bolted upright and greeted politely in reverence, "Senior Brother Lin."

Lin Fan replied with a 'hmm', expressing his satisfaction toward this behavior of theirs. He then looked over at Jian Cangqiong, "Your strength has risen by a fair bit. Seems like you've been working hard for the past three years."

Jian Cangqiong was respectful in his words, "You have been my role model, senior brother."

"Yes, very well." Right now, Lin Fan was extremely cocky. At the same time, he was pretty proud of himself in his heart. This should be the style a senior should have, being feared without him showing his temper.

"Big Bro is so tyrannical!" Down at the viewing platform, Qiu Zhanyu remarked emotionally.

Jin Zhengu nodded his head as well, "That's right! Wherever Big Bro stands, those Remnants would have to look at him with respect! They even seem as though they're pretty afraid!"

"Hehe... Of course, they're afraid! Our Big Bro is an invincible existence!" Qiu Zhanyu added on.

When the newly recruited disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect caught sight of this, they were all shocked silly.

They had never seen Lin Fan before. However, they were extremely familiar with the other nine great Remnants, whom they had seen from time to time. All of those senior brothers were extremely haughty characters with an extraordinary aura. Even when they bumped into these Remnants usually, they would feel unusually nervous.

But, when all nine of those Remnant senior brothers caught sight of this figure on the sparring arena, they were all obedient and polite! This was something that had them extremely astonished. If they had not witnessed this for themselves, they might not have dared to believe it.

Yan Qingxue laughed out coldly, "Alright, stop with the acting now. You're a Remnant and their senior brother, right? Since you're on the sparring arena now, come and fight a round with me. I do have to see for myself what capabilities someone like you has as a senior brother. Just make sure that you don't get walloped like a dog by me later on."

"Damn it…!" When the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect heard these words, they were incensed. This b*tch was really way too arrogant! She was just not giving any respect to their Heaven and Earth Sect!

The Remnants of the Heaven and Earth Sect were equally infuriated. This b*itch was way cockier than anyone else!

Lin Fan chuckled out softly and shook his head as he looked at this b*tch, "You're way too weak. All the Remnants of the Kunlun God Sect, come at me together."

"What?" The Remnants of the Kunlun God Sect were startled before they burst out into laughter.

"Is this Remnant of the Heaven and Earth Sect nuts or something?!"

"What did he just say? That our junior sister is too weak? He wants us all to go attack him together? There can't be something wrong with his brain, can it?"

"I think there's a high chance of that being the case. Does he not know just how powerful our junior sister is?"

"If all of us were to go together, he would probably be left with nothing but a corpse I suppose!"

…

"HAHAHA!" Yan Qingxue roared out into laughter. That was an extremely arrogant laughter, "To think that the Remnants of the Heaven and Earth Sect are one better than the other at bragging! Seems like my knowledge of the world has really been expanded today! Someone like you who can only spout out nonsense will definitely be trampled under my feet harshly later on!"

On the seat of the Grandmasters…

"Brother Han, that disciple of your sect is quite arrogant eh?" The Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect chuckled out.

Han Juntian's lips curled into a smirk, "Those are just kind words of advice from my sect's disciple."

"Huh?" The Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect was stunned. He then burst out into laughter as though he had just heard some joke.

Lin Fan looked over at Yan Qingxue. His hands were still behind his back, totally unbothered by it, "You don't have to laugh now. That was a piece of advice that I was giving you because you're a female. But, if you refuse to believe in it, it doesn't matter. Just be prepared to receive the consequences later then."

"What did you just say? I can't hear you properly. Please speak louder, eh?" Yan Qingxue cupped her ear with a single hand as though she had not heard him clearly. Her expression then changed immediately, "Well, don't say that Your Lady here didn't give you any chances. Take out your full capabilities. Otherwise, don't come complaining that Your Lady didn't remind you about it when you get trampled under my feet!"

Lin Fan was still standing there ever so idly as he looked at this person before him with disdain. He had not thought that women these days would be this cocky. To think that she would really dare to step over the heads of the Heaven and Earth Sect Remnants. She was indeed cockier than anyone could be.

When Yan Qingxue realized that the other party was looking at her in disdain, she got enraged, "Prepare to die!"

Pshew!

That figure of hers disappeared all of a sudden as though she had vanished from the sparring arena entirely. As for Lin Fan, he was just standing there as per normal without budging even a single inch, as if he was rooted.

"What in the world is Senior Brother Lin trying to do?" Su Hongchen and the others exclaimed out. The strength of this Yan Qingxue had far exceeded their imaginations.

All the other Remnants of the Kunlun God Sect curled out into a grin, "To think that junior sister would have succeeded in training this movement skill! Seems like she has been keeping quite a few things hidden from us, eh?"

"That fella is a Remnant of the Heaven and Earth Sect. But, he's most probably about to be trampled by the feet of our junior sister cruelly soon!"

Just at this moment, Yan Qingxue's figure appeared, "Kneel down!"

Lin Fan was STILL standing there as he shook his head slightly. In the next instant, he raised his palm.

Bam!

A gigantic explosion boomed out immediately.

When everyone caught sight of what happened, they were absolutely dumbfounded.

Chapter 1033 Thorough and Complete Takedown

No matter how fast Yan Qingxue was or how profound her powers were, in the eyes of Lin Fan, they were still weak to the point of being pathetic.

If he had met her outside, he would have been too lazy to even bother with her. After all, she would barely give any experience points at all.

A single slap!

There was nothing special to this and neither were there any mystic skills used to boost it. Lin Fan just merely slapped out on Yan Qingxue's face outright.

A tremendous amount of power caused her body to fly around the sky in countless circles. That unparalleled, ravishing face of hers was even starting to distort under the might of this power. In fact, there were even a few of her teeth that were knocked out under this immense force.

BAM!

That seductive body of hers which was the source of endless male fantasies landed onto the ground with a thud like a dead dog.

The speed at which everything happened caused everyone to be tongue-tied. They did not even have the time to react to it.

At this moment, the entire place fell silent. Everyone was just completely dumbfounded.

The Remnants of the Kunlun God Sect were appalled as their jaws dropped to the ground. They looked carefully at the sight of that figure on the sparring arena, then at their junior sister lying on the ground.

This was no dream. This was the cold, hard reality.

With that, an uproar broke out!

"Did you guys manage to catch that carefully? Just what in the world happened?"

"You're asking me, then who in the world am I bloody supposed to ask? I didn't manage to catch sight of it carefully either!"

"Check it out! The right hand that Senior Brother Lin had placed behind his back is at the front now! Could Senior Brother Lin have only used a single hand?"

"That can't be right! A single hand?!"

"HAHAHA! I don't really care how he did it, all I know is that we've won! That woman was too darned disgusting to be honest! Initially, she was just looking down on our Heaven and Earth Sect like a piece of trash. But, I'm sure she now knows the consequences of being as cocky, eh?"

"Senior Brother Lin is way too savage! To think that he would even strike out at a woman who is as beautiful as a fairy like that! I think he even knocked out some of her teeth!"

"Huehue! Even if she's beautiful, so what? Do we not have beautiful girls in our Heaven and Earth Sect? As long as Senior Brother Lin is willing, I'm afraid that even the most beautiful junior and senior sisters of our Heaven and Earth Sect will be willing to follow him!"

Beside this disciple was a gorgeous disciple who lowered her head daintily, "If Senior Brother Lin is willing, I will definitely not reject him…"

"See! Even junior sister here has agreed to it!"

"That move was way too savage honestly! If not for the fact that I knew how disgusting that woman was, I might have felt my heart break over it!"

When Su Hongchen, who was below amongst the disciples, caught sight of everything, she could not help but gulp down her saliva. She had suddenly realized that Senior Brother Lin looked so suave even when he was whacking women!

On the seats of the Remnants…

Jian Cangqiong, Ling Wuzun, and the others were ecstatic. They had even nearly leaped out of their seats.

"Good! That was such a good beating!"

"I've finally managed to ease that air of indignance in my heart! Otherwise, it was going to suffocate me to death!"

The nine great Remnants were unusually excited right now. This was simply too cathartic a situation, making them feel immensely relieved.

Lin Fan's brows twitched, totally unbothered by everything. However, the Remnants of the Kunlun God Sect were so enraged that they were exploding right now.

"Junior sister…!" One of the Remnants rushed forth with a menacing expression to check on his junior sister's injuries immediately. But, when he caught sight of how swollen that initially ravishing face of his junior sister had become, a flame of rage burnt from the bottom of his heart entirely.

"Damn it! You're just bloody courting death!" Huang Kuntian was thoroughly incensed right now. He was a Remnant of the Kunlun God Sect, and had always had a crush on Yan Qingxue. Now that he had to see his junior sister being beaten to a pulp like this, the wrath blazing in his heart was about to burst out.

With a pair of malevolent eyes, he glared at Lin Fan in rage. He could not help but want to devour this person up.

On the seat of the Grandmasters…

The Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect was startled as he stood up slightly. It was as though he was in disbelief.

Han Juntian smiled out calmly, "Seems like he has been a little heavy with his strike. But don't worry, there's no danger to her life. Our sect has healing saint pills that can help her recover just fine."

The Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect let out an awkward smile before sitting back down, "That won't be needed."

…

Standing there calmly, Lin Fan shook his head, "The Remnants of the Kunlun God Sect are way too weak. All of you guys can come down together."

Boom, crash, bam!

All the Remnants of the Kunlun God Sect bolted upright. That gleeful expression they had earlier on was completely gone by now, replaced by pure rage.

"You b*stard! I'll have you dead!" Huang Kuntian roared out as he stepped forth. The ground started cracking apart as he rushed toward Lin Fan.

His palm covered the entire sky as his powers rumbled. Right now, his eyes were shining with an endless rage, "How dare you harm my junior sister! I'll have your life!"

Lin Fan raised his head and his lips curled into a grin. Without using both his hands, his right leg raised gently. When he pushed out his leg, it was as though they were tearing through the Heaven and Earth.

Bam!

Bam!

Huang Kuntian cried out tragically as he was stomped down and buried deep into a pit by Lin Fan.

"Weak…Far too weak. Is there not even a single person in the Kunlun God Sect who can fight?" Lin Fan asked in a soft tone.

He was echoing the exact same words of Yan Qingxue from earlier on.

Shock!

Astonishment!

All the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect were completely dazed right now before they erupted into cheers.

"Senior Brother Lin! Tyrannical!"

"Good! What was simply way too good a beating! Is there no one from the Kunlun God Sect who can fight?"

"That fella! I remember him! He was so conceited earlier on! To think that he would be stamped down into the ground by a single foot of Senior Brother Lin!"

"HAHAHA! I'm about to laugh to death! Is there no one in the Kunlun God Sect who can fight? HAHAH!"

"I caught everything carefully this time around! That single kick of Senior Brother Lin was simply way too tyrannical!"

"I caught it clearly as well!"

Jian Cangqiong, Ling Wuzun, and the others were completely dazed by now. This was especially the case for Ling Wuzun, who could not dare to believe his very eyes right now.

Just how strong had this guy become?

Ling Wuzun was a petty man. He would forever remember the humiliation that Lin Fan had once dealt him. He was determined to surpass Lin Fan and become a powerful being.

But, the current situation had even him feeling that wanting to chase up to the latter was extremely, extremely difficult.

He might not have that chance even in his entire lifetime.

At this moment, Lin Fan's disposition was domineering beyond words. He then looked with disdain at the other Remnants below the sparring arena, "What now? Is there no one who dares to come up onto the sparring arena? You guys can come at me together."

The remaining Remnants of the Kunlun God Sect felt their faces tense up. They were no fools. Naturally, they could tell just how strong the other party was. At the start, they took down the Remnants of the Heaven and Earth Sect as though they were taking down toys; it was extremely easy. But, things had changed now.

Right now, this Remnant of the Heaven and Earth Sect who had appeared later on was the one who was taking them down like toys.

A character as such caused them to remember someone—Qin Shengjun of the God Essence Sect.

Thirteen years ago, that person was an existence who had surpassed every other genius. Right now, he was a top existence within the God Essence Sect, and reigned supreme over the entire world. Even if it were all the genius disciples of the Kunlun God Sect combined, they would pale in comparison with Qin Shengjun.

At this moment, an elder from the Kunlun God Sect stood up with a serious expression, "Let the duels end here then. We must not spoil the relationship between the two sects."

The elder had placed extra emphasis on the word 'relationship'.

In actual fact, the Heaven and Earth Sect and the Kunlun God Sect did not have any sort of relationship. They were just cooperating in terms of strategies when it came to fights between the other sects. This was a type of fragile relationship that could break apart at any moment.

Lin Fan raised his head with an arrogant expression.

"Do you think that it will end just because you said so? Who do you think you are?"

Qing Yangzi facepalmed his forehead. Bloody hell! This lad was thinking about creating trouble once more!

"Huehue… Grandmaster Han, this precious Remnant of your sect is really arrogant, eh?" The elder turned his head around immediately and said with a weird tone.

Han Juntian grinned slightly. However, his eyes shone with astonishment before long.

"Since you say that I'm arrogant, Your Daddy will show you what true arrogance is! The Grandmaster himself has yet to call an end to this, and yet you think you're in the position to speak?" All of a sudden, Lin Fan's figure disappeared from the sparring arena. The next time he appeared, he was already in the void above the head of that elder who had spoken.

The elder was taken aback, "You'd dare?"

Lin Fan smiled calmly as he slapped down with his palm. He was going to take down this elder thoroughly and completely so that the latter would what the true meaning of arrogance was.

Chapter 1034 You MUST Protect Him Properly, Alright?

The newly recruited disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect were shocked silly.

"Our sect's Senior Brother Lin is way too tyrannical, isn't he?! To think that he would strike out at an elder of the Kunlun God Sect directly! Just what sort of capabilities does he have?"

"Huehue... Senior Brother Lin is extremely capable. Can't you tell that Senior Brother Lin hasn't even used any mystic skills just yet? All he did was slap down. Who else would have guts like that?"

"It's so nice to have a senior brother like that! If we are ever bullied by anyone in the future, senior brother will definitely help us stand off!"

…

On the seats of the Grandmasters…

The face of the Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect was looking extremely terrible. But, when he caught sight of how that disciple had dared to challenge their elder, his lips curled into a smirk, "Elder Wang, just teaching him a small lesson will do. Make sure that you do not take his life."

The position of this Elder Wang was extraordinary in the Kunlun God Sect. Otherwise, there was naturally no way he would be accompanying the Grandmaster over to the Heaven and Earth Sect.

With a cultivation state of Golden Immortal realm, he was far from simple. Every single strike of his was absolutely earthshattering. The might of a Golden Immortal could cause the entire world to shake. For a mere Remnant to challenge a Golden Immortal, that was just the former seeking death!

"Don't worry, Grandmaster. I know my limits. Such an arrogant disciple naturally deserves a good lesson. Otherwise, he would die if he were to go out with that attitude." Elder Wang laughed out coldly. He was already enraged over the fact that this disciple had dared to provoke him.

However, they were in the Heaven and Earth Sect right now. Therefore, he would naturally not take the latter's life. Although, the consequences would be far from normal still. Even if he were to strip this fella of his cultivation state, so what?

The palm above his head wasn't anything flashy, neither was it some type of secret mystic skill. It was just a plain and simple palm strike.

Elder Wang's face tensed up slightly as a beam of light gushed forth from that Golden Immortal body of his. This was a light beam that could destroy anything that was below the Golden Immortal realm in its path. In a flash, Elder Wang raised his hand and placed two fingers together. Once Lin Fan was to land, he would undoubtedly destroy the latter's Law and waste him completely.

Qing Yangzi bolted upright as his eyes shone with a look of worry. However, it was all too late right now.

Lin Fan smiled gently as he pushed down with his palm, colliding against that beam of light.

"Huehue... Overestimating your strength." Elder Wang laughed out in disdain. However, his expression changed all of a sudden.

"Lay down!" Lin Fan called out coldly as he grabbed onto that light beam with his fingers.

Creak!

A crisp sound rang out. As though it had met with some tremendous impact, the light beam exploded.

Bam!

"How could this be?" Elder Wang's face drained of color as the Laws of Golden Immortals within his body burst wildly. To his horror, he realized that there was a boundless might attached to that palm strike, such that no one could defend against it at all!

Bam!

In that instant, everyone was in a complete daze over the sight before them. It was as though they had just seen a ghost, their faces filled with disbelief.

Lin Fan landed down with his hands behind his back, "Even an elder of the Kunlun God Sect could only amount to this much. This is pretty disappointing."

Uproar!

"What! That Elder Wang was a Golden Immortal powerful being!"

"How could this be! How in the world did that fella cultivate! Above True Immortal state is the Mystic Immortal state, above which is the Golden Immortal state. Every single Golden Immortal is a significant powerful being in the world. How can a Remnant of the Heaven and Earth Sect be that strong?"

Ling Wuzun felt his body shivering. He could never catch up, not even with his entire lifetime.

Was this fella even a human or not? How in the world could he even be this strong? Just what had he been through in the past three years to turn this sick?

At this moment, all the Remnants of the Heaven and Earth Sect could clearly feel how wide the gap between them and this person was. Initially, they had thought that being a Remnant was the only thing that was befitting of their strength. But, after witnessing Lin Fan's strength, they realized that their position as Remnants was an utter joke.

On the other side, all disciples of the Kunlun God Sect were completely frozen as they stood there blankly. In their eyes, he was no longer a human at all.

At this point, no matter how much Lin Fan humiliated them, they could not get enraged at all. This wasn't someone they could stand shoulder to shoulder with! There was a huge gulf between them which they could never ever hope to cross!

Elder Wang was slapped down onto the ground by Lin Fan's palm strike. That was all a Golden Immortal amounted to in front of him. If not for the sake of the sect, Lin Fan would not have minded killing him. After all, there were still a few experience points to be gained out of that.

"Brazen…!" The Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect could no longer tolerate this anymore as he emanated out a horrifying aura. It was as though he was ready to strike out at any moment to take down Lin Fan.

Han Juntian smiled out calmly and spoke up straightaway, "What now? Do you intend to interfere in the business of the younger generation?"

The voice of Han Juntian had the Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect calming down immediately. He then let out a strange smile, "Oh, how could I do that? Congratulations on the other hand though, Brother Han. The fact that the Heaven and Earth Sect could have such a brilliant genius is your fortune! You MUST definitely protect him properly, alright?"

"That's of course. The Heaven and Earth Sect will naturally protect him properly. However, for this matter, I suppose that I, Han Juntian, have got to account for it properly." Han Juntian chuckled out slightly before turning over to Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, hurry and apologize to Grandmaster Tai, won't you?"

Lin Fan chuckled out as well as he raised his head, "Oh, my apologies, Grandmaster Tai! I had not expected that this precious elder of your sect would be so pathetically weak. Had I known that was the case, I would not have been so hard with my strike."

"Doesn't matter. There's nothing to begrudge when their skills are weaker." Tai Qiantian put on a huge forced smile as though he was magnanimous. However, the fury within him was practically enough to incinerate the entire world. If not for that fact that he had to consider his position, he would have long suppressed Lin Fan.

"Grandmaster, if there's nothing else, your disciple will return to his peak first." Lin Fan spoke up.

"Alright." Han Juntian smiled out. His heart was naturally joyous right now; their face had been fought back and restored.

Lin Fan felt that this place was really boring as he brought Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu back to his peak. When the Heaven and Earth Sect's disciples watched their Senior Brother Lin leaving, their eyes shone with a look of reverence.

He was simply way too tyrannical, truly the role model of their times!

They did not hope to be the exact same as their Senior Brother Lin. But, as long as they could even have ten percent of his strength, they would be satisfied.

All thanks to the blessings of Lin Fan, the atmosphere of the entire scene had taken a complete 180-degree change.

The Heaven and Earth Sect was unusually happy. As for the Kunlun God Sect people, their faces were terrible, having a grim and baleful mood as though they had just swallowed a housefly.

The Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect, Tai Qiantian, stood up, "Brother Han, we'll take our leave first then. Now that the Heaven and Earth Sect has produced a genius of this level, it's truly something that's worth being joyous about and celebrating!"

"You're too kind, too kind. From now on, we will still have to depend on you to take care of us, brother!" Han Juntian's mood was extremely relaxed right now. This was the type of feeling he had aimed for.

At the same time, he felt relief in his heart. Thankfully, that lad had made it back in time. Otherwise, they would have really lost all their face.

After the events this time around, Han Juntian had truly understood that there was quite a big difference between the Remnants of the Heaven and Earth Sect and those of the Kunlun God Sect. He really had to train them up properly now. Otherwise, they would not be able to hold their ground in the future.

Tai Qiantian did not say anything more. Sweeping his robes, he enveloped all the disciples of the Kunlun God Sect and dove into the void straight to leave this place.

Right before they left, Tai Qiantian cast a glance far in the distance where Lin Fan had flown off to. This issue was far from over.

After the masses of the Kunlun God Sect took their leave, the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect roared out in cheers.

"Qing Yangzi! Follow me to the Saint Devil Peak!" Han Juntian spoke up.

Right now, Qing Yangzi had many questions for Lin Fan as well. Therefore, he naturally agreed to it readily, "Alright."

Saint Devil Peak…

Lin Fan was back to the place he was familiar with.

"Big Bro, is this your mountain peak here?" Qiu Zhanyu asked.

"Yes." Lin Fan nodded his head.

This time around, the main reason for his return was to clarify some stuff before heading out to explore the world outside for yet another round.

After all, raising one's strength was of paramount importance. He could not allow any delays in that task.

But just at this moment, raindrops suddenly poured down from the void above out of nowhere!

Drip, drop, pitter patter!

"It's raining…!" Qiu Zhanyu exclaimed out in astonishment.

Lin Fan stretched out his palm and allowed the rainwater to flow down his body.

There was something different about this rain.

Chapter 1035 Grandmaster Candidate

When the raindrops landed on Lin Fan's body, they gave off a mysterious aura. Sensing that, Lin Fan breathed out a short laughter.

"Haha! It IS the original you indeed. For you to have grown to such an extent in just three years is something that even Your Grandmaster is having difficulty believing. Therefore, I could only test and check to make sure you've not been replaced by some monster or anything." Han Juntian stepped out of the void while saying.

Standing beside the Grandmaster, Qing Yangzi heaved out a sigh of relief as well.

The main reason was that the growth of this lad had been way too tremendous.

Being able to take down a Golden Immortal after just three years? What sort of an idea was that? In fact, even Qing Yangzi himself had been wondering if Lin Fan had met any mishaps or was possessed by some evil being to infiltrate the sect, since there had been no news from him for three years now.

But after the test of the Grandmaster, he heaved out a sigh of relief as well.

"Grandmaster." Lin Fan cupped his fist and greeted.

Han Juntian's mood was pretty decent right now, "Good! Very good! What sort of a reward do you want?"

As for things like rewards and whatnot, Lin Fan wasn't really bothered about it at all. Right now, what he needed the most was experience points.

"Grandmaster, that is only my duty as a disciple." Lin Fan replied politely.

Han Juntian nodded his head and swept out his robes, causing a couple of pills and treasures to float out, "You have contributed to the sect. This is what you deserve."

Lin Fan cast his sights over and his heart leaped with joy. To think that these pills would be Immortal Pills! Immortal Pills possessed the Laws of the Immortal Dao, and therefore, each Immortal Pill would always bring a tremendous amount of benefits.

This was especially the case for Lin Fan: these were all experience points for him!

However, ever since he had broken through to the Golden Immortal state, ordinary Immortal Pills did not have much of a use to him anymore. The only things that could still give him an ocean worth of experience points were probably Upper and Supreme Grade Immortal Pills by now.

However, these few pills were all Lower and Middle Grade Immortal Pills. Anyway, they would still do. Since they were gifts from the Grandmaster, Lin Fan naturally accepted them.

When Qing Yangzi caught sight of how generous the Grandmaster was, he felt pretty good in his heart as well. The fact that a disciple brought by him was being recognized by the Grandmaster was an incredible honor for him.

Amongst the treasures was a Lower Grade Immortal Weapon that emanated the radiance of the Immortal Dao. Lin Fan could do without something like this, but for anyone else, this was just absolutely extraordinary.

If they could only get their hands on a single Lower Grade Immortal Weapon, they would definitely flip out in joy.

"Much thanks, Grandmaster." Lin Fan said humbly.

"Yes. Train hard and well. Also, do watch out when you're heading out in the future. That Tai Qiantian is extremely petty. Even though it might not get to the extent where he would hunt you down personally, it'd still be better to take caution." Han Juntian said.

The one thing Lin Fan was least afraid of was people causing trouble for him; he would kill no matter how many people came at him. However, if the Grandmaster of the Kunlun God Sect were to come at him personally, that might get a little troublesome. Since the Grandmaster was so certain about it, the possibility of that happening should be close to none.

And even if something like that DID happen, Lin Fan was sure that the Grandmaster must have prepared some tricks up his sleeves.

But. to be honest, Lin Fan was someone who had even dared to face up against the Boundless Future Buddha Lord. It was not as though he could get afraid of one single Tai Qiantian.

After handing over some more stuff, the Grandmaster took his leave. At the same time, he gave Lin Fan even more authority as he promoted him to one of the Grandmaster Candidates of the sect, giving him the right to fight for the position of Grandmaster.

Within the sects, other than the Remnants, there were still the Grandmaster Candidates.

These disciples were all chosen from within the Remnants. However, they did not reside within the sect. They just roamed around the Endless Mainland, and would only be back when it was time to contest for the position of Grandmaster.

Lin Fan had not come across these disciples before, the main reason for that being that his strength was far too weak three years ago. Normally, the position of Remnants was the highest position that only the top disciples could reach within the sect.

"Lad! You have not let me down indeed! To think that you would give this old man such an incredible surprise after three years! This is simply way too alarming!" Qing Yangzi exclaimed.

Lin Fan chuckled out, "Elder Qing Yangzi, so, who are the other Grandmaster Candidates?"

"Given your strength right now, you are definitely one of the forerunners in contesting for the position of the Grandmaster. There were a total of twelve Grandmaster Candidates in the sect. With you, there are thirteen now."

"You can take a look at this. The name list of the Grandmaster Candidates is here." Qing Yangzi took out a jade bamboo scroll.

Lin Fan took a look and felt his heart skip a beat. These were extraordinary beings indeed! To think that even the weakest among them would be at the Golden Immortal full cultivation state!

"These disciples do not stay within the sect usually, and are always out training in the Endless Mainland. Other than a few elders within the sect, their position in the sect is above everyone else." Qing Yangzi said.

"So, that's the case. Gosh! I was just thinking that if these Remnants were the only fresh blood that was within the sect, our sect would definitely not exist anymore after a hundred years!" Lin Fan said.

"HAHA!" Qing Yangzi roared out in laughter, "But, that's not truly the case either. The ones truly protecting the sect are the Senior Elders, who are all trying to seek out even higher cultivation states. Unless the sect is ever faced with a calamity of being destroyed, those Senior Elders will not show their faces at all."

"The legacy of the Heaven and Earth Sect has been around for 100,000 years now. No one knows how many Grandmasters there have been. Each time a Grandmaster stepped down from his position, they would retreat to the deepest parts of the sect to cultivate. As for just how deep the foundations of our sect actually reach, that is something that is probably known to no one other than the Grandmaster himself."

Lin Fan nodded his head. This was something that he understood now. Perhaps he had just been oversimplifying things in the past.

At the same time, he understood why those Grandmaster Candidates would choose not to cultivate and train within the sect. If they were to train here for their entire lives, they might not have that great of an improvement. It was only through entering the Endless Mainland and facing the trials and tribulations out there that would bring forth a brighter future for them.

"Elder Qing Yangzi, I want to know of the countless secret and dangerous grounds of the Endless Mainland. I intend to head out to train before long." Lin Fan said.

"Don't worry, I will prepare everything for you." Qing Yangzi naturally wanted to shoulder all the responsibility onto himself.

Lin Fan was someone whom he had inducted into the sect. If this person were to become the Grandmaster, that would be just crazy. Even if Qing Yangzi were to die, he would definitely pass onto the underworld while smiling.

As for those Grandmaster Candidates, some of them had headed out to train for dozens of years now. There were even those who had trained for hundreds of years. No one knew just what was the extent of their growth in cultivation state.

After Qing Yangzi left, Lin Fan returned to the house. As for Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu, their interest toward the Heaven and Earth Sect was piqued at this point.

At the same time, Lin Fan did not want to bring them along with him. After all, it was really way too dangerous out there.

This time around, Lin Fan intended to head to the deepest parts of the Endless Mainland. There might be even graver dangers there. If anything were to go wrong, he could very well die right there.

As for how huge the Endless Mainland was exactly, no one knew for sure. Even a powerful being such as the Grandmaster had not personally reached the ends of the Endless Mainland. There were a lot of places that were unknown to them out there, so he had to be careful.

…

After Ling Wuzun returned to his peak, he had some plans of his own.

The display of might that Lin Fan had shown upon his return was a huge blow for him. He felt as though he was a frog in a well, thinking which, he began making plans.

He wanted to head out of the sect to train. Even if he were to die outside, he would have to try and raise his strength. If he did not crush Lin Fan beneath him, he would never be satisfied. Well, even if he could not take down Lin Fan, the least he wanted to be on even grounds with him. That would soothe his heart at least.

Three days later, Ling Wuzun left the sect. As to where he went, no one knew.

Ten days later…

Lin Fan had fully prepared himself within the sect by now. At the same time, he had gotten wind of some places he could aim for on the Endless Mainland from Qing Yangzi.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu had been accepted as Inner Sect disciples of the sect with their strength of True Immortal state. Lin Fan then entrusted them to Elder Qing Yangzi's care.

At the Sect entrance…

When Qing Yangzi, Qiu Zhanyu, and Jin Zhengu looked at that leaving figure of Lin Fan, they sighed out gently.

"Big Bro is gone now. I wonder when he'll return." Qiu Zhanyu said with reluctance.

"The next time Big Bro returns, he will definitely bring for us an even greater surprise!" Jin Zhengu surmised.

Qing Yangzi's heart was filled with an infinite curiosity as well. He wondered just what sort of surprises Lin Fan would return with the next time.

As for Lin Fan, he was instead over to the Rising Dragon City at this moment. He felt that he ought to go check it out a little.

After all, he had lived there for eleven years no matter what.

Chapter 1036 Return

Rising Dragon City…

It was just an ordinary city at one point in time. But, with the appearance of a gifted genius such as Lin Fan, the entire place became famous overnight and shocked the entire world.

The Lin Family had turned into the leader of the eight great families. However, they did not rule over the other families through their strength, just with their name alone.

As for the other seven great families, none of them were displeased in the slightest bit. The fact that the Lin Family Head, Lin Haoming, wasn't someone who was interested in power struggles had the other great families feeling immensely grateful.

The reason why they were willing for the Lin Family to be the leader family was naturally because of that gifted genius, Lin Fan. He was their Young Master recruited by the Heaven and Earth Sect. However, the fact that he had not even returned once in the past three years was something that had everyone feeling a little bewildered.

In fact, they could not even get rid of a growing thought that the Young Master Lin might have been killed by others outside.

Even though it was a great fortune for someone to be taken in by a sect, sects were not places like playhouses. It was a place filled with immense dangers.

The number of disciples who died outside was uncountable.

Even though the other seven great families did bear such thoughts before, they buried it at the bottom of their hearts. That was because they had realized that the feeling of living as such in the past few years was pretty decent as well.

As for the Big Missy of the Lin Family, she was out of the city in a sect as well. Through a stroke of affinity, she had managed to enter a female sect. This was something that left the Lin Family ecstatic. Two outstanding talents being produced by their family was something absolutely heaven revolting!

But, this Big Missy of the Lin Family, Lin Hanyu, would always return from time to time and hand over some pills to the Lin Family. At the same time, she would split them out for the other seven great families as well. This was a really pleasant feeling.

Crackle, pop, sizzle, bang!

The Rising Dragon City was bustling with life right now as fireworks filled the sky.

Many people were gathered at the city entrance.

There were members of the eight great families present, as well as some of the wealthier folks and commoners. The Big Missy of the Lin Family had returned from the sect once more. Not only that, she seemed to have brought back good news this time around.

"Brother Lin, congratulations! To have two outstanding talents in your family, the Lin Family could be said to be skyrocketing into the Heavens!" The Huang Family Head, Huang Yan, congratulated. At the same time, there was a slight bit of envy in his heart as well.

When he looked at his son, Huang Yan felt miserable in his heart. That guy was just wasting his time idly every day without seeking to improve himself at all. In fact, he hadn't even gotten himself a wife till now.

"You're too kind, too kind." Lin Haoming was truly feeling pretty good in his heart right now. To think that he would have brought forth the rise of the Lin Family singlehandedly.

Lin Haoming had suddenly realized that he was way too incredibly strong! All the sons and daughters that he had were all so strong!

This was especially the case for that son of his who was accepted as a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect. However, Lin Haoming was a little displeased that this lad had not even brought back home a single piece of news after three whole years! That was truly worrisome!

If not for the fact that the journey to the Heaven and Earth Sect was one that was long and fraught with dangers, Lin Haoming would have wanted to head over to take a look and check out just what sort of big things that lad was being kept busy with.

The commoners all around looked at Lin Haoming with envious faces.

"The life of the Lin Family is really good indeed! To think that they would have two children entering sects."

"That's right! In the past, the Lin Family used to be the weakest of the eight great families. But right now, they're leading the pack for real!"

"The Big Missy of the Lin Family would always return once per year. But, as for Young Master Lin, no one has heard from him for three years now."

"I've heard rumors that the Young Master Lin might have died outside the sect!"

"You had better keep those nonsensical words to yourself! It would be bad if anyone heard you!"

"Hais! It's not that I want to spout these nonsensical words either! But, this was something that had already been spreading since half a year ago! Even people who were within the Heaven and Earth Sect did not have any idea on where the Young Master Lin was!"

"Shh! That's enough now!"

…

"Daddy! Is that big sister?" At this moment, the youngest daughter, Lin Lan'er, pointed over to a spot of light in the sky and exclaimed excitedly. In three years, Lin Lan'er had grown into an elegant and breathtaking woman.

The number of people coming forth for marriage proposals for her were so many that the Lin Family's doorsteps were almost going to be broken apart from their footsteps. If this were in the past, Lin Haoming would have naturally just looked for some good in-laws. But now that Lin Fan was so extraordinary, his aim was to groom his remaining two children well. It'd be for the best if they could enter sects as well.

"It should be." Lin Haoming said with a smile on his face.

Soon, the bright spot came even closer.

At this moment at the entrance of the Rising Dragon City, a few figures descended from the void. Lin Hanyu was amongst them, accompanied by three other women. There was a man amongst them as well.

Lin Haoming shouted out happily, "Light the fireworks!"

Bam!

Bam!

The fireworks flowered in the sky, letting off a spectacular sight.

Lin Haoming rushed forth immediately, "Daughter, you're back!"

"Father, mother, younger sister!" Lin Hanyu's face was beaming with a bright smile. Even though she had been returning once per year, Lin Hanyu was still ever so emotional for her return each time. The feeling of reuniting with one's close ones was something truly amazing for sure.

The four people behind Lin Hanyu had an indifferent expression on their faces. They did not bother too much about these mortals. All of these were just ants in their eyes.

They were only tagging along with their Junior Sister Lin to check out how the world of mere mortals was like, and that was all.

The sect that Lin Hanyu had entered was called the Hundred Flowers Palace. It wasn't one of the big sects, and could only be considered as a middle sized sects.

The nine sects and six residences et cetera were all prominent sects that had a legacy of hundreds of thousands of years. As for this Hundred Flowers Palace, it had only risen in the past tens of thousands of years. Compared to the Heaven and Earth Sect, there was a world of difference. There could be no comparison made at all.

"Father, these three here are senior sisters of my sect. They had been especially kind and caring toward me in the sect." Lin Hanyu introduced. She then pointed out at the man beside them, "This here is the son of the Grandmaster of the Metal Sword Sect."

The moment Lin Haoming heard that, he was even more polite in his tone, "Welcome, welcome!"

How could he not know what sect the Metal Sword Sect was? And when he heard that this was the son of the Grandmaster, he knew that it was an even more outrageous status there.

The son of a sect's Grandmaster! This was a super duper second generation, not someone that a mere mortal family such as theirs could compare with!

Ning Tiekun nodded his head without a single bit of expression. In fact, he didn't even speak of a single greeting of politeness.

"Big sister!" Lin Feixue and Lin Lan'er leaped over and hugged their big sister. After being separated for such a long time, they were naturally missing her badly.

When the son of the Metal Sword Sect's Grandmaster caught sight of Lin Lan'er, his eyes flashed with a glint. However, he hid it completely soon after.

"Junior sister, let us head over to your house to take a seat first, shall we?" Lin Hanyu's senior sister spoke up.

"Alright." Lin Hanyu nodded her head.

Lin Haoming spoke up at this moment, "Ah, Hanyu. The uncles of the seven other great families have already prepared a welcome feast for you guys. How about heading over to eat something first?"

At this moment, the Family Heads of the other seven great families waited with bated breath. But, a single sentence from the other side had them feeling awkward.

One of the senior sisters who had a slightly thin face with a protruding cheekbone remarked, "There's nothing good to eat about the food of mere commoners. We'll head over to your Lin Family to take a look first."

The moment Lin Hanyu heard that, she nodded her head awkwardly, "Father, I guess let's forget about it."

Even though Lin Haoming was evidently somewhat displeased in his heart, he still put on a chirpy smile, "Alright, alright! Let's head home then!"

"Oh, right! Darling daughter, what good news did you say you were going to tell your father?" Lin Haoming asked.

"Father, I'm already an Outer Sect disciple of the sect now!" Lin Hanyu declared happily.

"Good, good! Being an Outer Sect disciple is wonderful! Very well done! I'm sure you will be able to catch up to your younger brother before long!" Lin Haoming chuckled out as he said this.

"Father, has little brother not returned home yet?" Lin Hanyu asked. In her heart, she had been worrying about Lin Fan all this time.

"No." Lin Haoming shook his head.

At this moment, Ning Tiekun spoke up, "Hanyu, your younger brother has been accepted by the Heaven and Earth Sect as a disciple. However, it is not safe in those big sects in the slightest bit. All of those secret grounds are extremely treacherous as well. There's a high chance of people dying there."

With these words of Ning Tiekun, the entire atmosphere in the air turned awkward. At this point, Lin Haoming's heart was burning with a ball of flames. Was this fella trying to insinuate that his son was dead?

But, when he considered the identity of the other party, he let out a smile still nevertheless.

"Let's head back first."
