The Strongest System - Chapter 275
Chapter 275: The Powerful Man In The Eyes Of Others
p>”Hu…hurry up! Get all the best cooks in the family to prepare the most sumptuous dishes ever!”
Stumbling down from the sky after his flight back to the Dead Demon City, Yao Tian shouted out loudly. His voice permeated through the walls of every single corner in the Yao Family.
For the Dead Demon Seas expedition this time round, Yao Tian had not allowed any of the family’s children to participate. The moment the weird events started happening around the Dead Demon Seas, Yao Tian had an uneasy feeling about it.
As the sole ruler of the Dead Demon City, the Yao Family had groomed countless of disciples over time. Some of these disciples were even stronger than the family’s own bloodline. Therefore, there was no need for their children to take the risk at all.
“Family Head, what happened…!” The Yao Family’s housekeeper ran over the moment he heard the head’s voice. Looking left and right, he could not find any of the disciples who had left along with the Family Head. Noticing the anxious look on the Family Head’s face, could something have happened?
“Hurry up and pass down the orders! Get all the best chefs to prepare the best dishes ever! If they are not done within a joss stick’s time, all of them shall die!” Yao Tian ordered.
The housekeeper was stunned. This was the first time he had seen such a flustered look on the Family Head’s face. But after being in the Yao Family for so many years, he knew better than to dilly dally.
Just then, a shadow arrived from the skies and landed beside Yao Tian. The moment the disciples caught sight of who it was, all of them held their breaths. What a suffocating aura.
“Old master…” The moment Yao Tian saw who it was, he greeted fervently as well. However, he could not help but feel a little sore in his heart. Why had the Old Master abandoned him earlier in that dire situation?
But what could he do about it? This man was the Old Master, and his grandfather to boot. No matter how disgruntled he felt, there was nothing he could do about it.
“This is a rare opportunity. Go hand down the orders. All the children from our bloodline will follow me there later on. If we could pull some ties with that person, it would be a great booster for the Yao Family in the future.” The Yao Family’s Old Master said in a solemn voice.
He had plans of his own. That frightening existence of a man right there, even though he didn’t seem that old, the Old Master knew that he would definitely be someone significant. If they brought over their own bloodline and he managed to take a liking to any one of them, that would be a great ace up the sleeves for the Yao Family.
Even though the Yao Family was an extremely influential family in the Dongling Continent right now, no one could predict the future. Who knew if the family’s power would carry on for the generations after?
And if there ever came a time of need for the family, perhaps that man might even step forth for them on sentimental grounds.
At that point, that would be the biggest trump card for the Yao Family. Even though it may not be of relevance usually, if the time came for it, it may turn the situations entirely around.
“Yes, Old Master.” Yao Tian nodded. Turning into a streak of light, he hurried to get the children.
Soon, the five young masters arrived. Even though they did not know what was happening, they were quickly caught up to speed along the way by their father.
They understood now. Their aim was to pander to that powerful being of a man.
But deep in their hearts, they plotted and devised. They knew that whoever the powerful man took a liking to would very likely be the next Family Head.
Therefore, all five of them were elated with hope.
No matter what, even if they needed to throw away their dignity, they must definitely humor that man.
“Grandpa Yao…” The moment the five of them saw the Old Master, they greeted courteously as well. This man was the strongest trump card of the Yao Family right now; the only greater celestial full cultivation.
The only reason why the Yao Family could maintain their authority this long in the Dead Demon City was all because of Grandpa Yao.
“Hmm.” Old Master Yao nodded his head. Suddenly, his eyes glimmered.
“Where’s that child, Wuxie?” He asked.
The five young masters were stumped at the question. Sixth Brother? Why would that trash be here? To them, that piece of sh*t had neither potential nor brains. He was only good at squandering his life away. What use would he be of?
“Old Master, Wuxie that child is only good at idling around lazily without manners. I’m afraid he may offend that powerful man and create trouble.”” Yao Tian replied worriedly.
“Go, get him here. He’s a member of the Yao Family. No one shall be left behind.” Old Master Yao replied, evidently displeased. He himself had taken quite a liking to that child.
It was just such a pity that he had such a low potential. Within the Dongling Continent, any bloodline members of the big families who had poor potential would basically be labeled as trash for the family.
“Tengfei, go get your younger brother.” Yao Tian ordered.
“Yes, father.” As the fifth young master, Yao Tengfei was obviously unhappy with this arrangement. But there was no way he could defy a direct order from the Old Master. Hence, he headed towards Yao Wuxie’s residence.
Yao Wuxie’s residence…
Yao Wuxie was busy thinking about the thing in his head.
‘Titanium Grade Demon Body’?
Just what was up with this skill? All he had to do was let people wallop him for this skill to level up? Brother Lin must be messing around with him. Could such a skill truly exist in this world?
But thinking back on Brother Lin’s serious expression, Yao Wuxie rubbed his chin and accepted it for now. Oh well, since he would repeatedly be whacked in the days to come anyways, why not give it a try.
“Sixth Brother!” Just as Yao Wuxie was preparing to head out to the streets, Yao Tengfei’s voice rang through.
Yao Wuxie’s face changed. Goodness. Must his fifth Brother really be this way? Was he truly fated to be walloped by his five brothers, in turn, day and night from now on?
Finally, Yao Wuxie sighed in resignation. Seemed like there was no way to hide from this. Might as well give the Titanium Grade Demon Body a try then.
Taking a deep breath, Yao Wuxie stepped out.
“C’mon, fifth Brother. I’m ready.’ He spread open both hands, preparing to be whacked.
“Trash, follow me. The Old Master calls for you.” Looking at Yao Wuxie’s worthless attitude, Yao Tengfei snorted in disdain. He couldn’t figure out why the Old Master would even bother with this trash. From head to toe, Yao Tengfei couldn’t find a single bit of worth in this person.
Yao Wuxie was stunned for a moment. His face was then replaced with joy.
“Grandpa Yao!”
…
When Yao Tengfei returned with Yao Wuxie, everyone else was filled with a contemptuous look.
But in front of the Old Master, no one could be impertinent.
“Grandpa Yao…!” The moment Yao Wuxie saw the old man, he greeted politely.
He knew deep in his heart that the only reason why he hadn’t been killed by his five brothers was due to Grandpa Yao. Even his own father despised him. Grandpa Yao was the only person in this world who loved him.
Yao Wuxie knew that the day Grandpa Yao passed on would be his death day as well.
“Hmm, not bad. Ever since I’ve last seen you, your cultivation state has improved. Old Master Yao rubbed his beard and nodded gently.
“Hehe…” Yao Wuxie’s face flushed red with embarrassment.
The other five young masters were filled with scorn. In the past three years, his cultivation state has only improved THAT bit. What sort of achievement was that?
Time passed really quickly.
The housekeeper brought all the servants forth with all sorts of dishes. Each and every one of the dishes were made with extremely rare ingredients and was of top-notch quality.
The Old Master nodded in approval. Waving his robes, he then brought everyone with him through the skies.
…
Chapter 276: Comeback of The Clumsy Yao Wuxie
p>”Powerful man, is it comfortable enough?” A Tongtian Sect disciple asked as he massaged Lin Fan’s toes tenderly with a smile on his face. Those moves, that strength level… If he had not experienced it for himself, Lin Fan would not have believed that a sect disciple could possess such impressive massaging skills.
“Not bad, well-practiced moves indeed. Not bad, not bad.” Lin Fan praised as he laid down on a beach chair. Lin Fan carried with him all sorts of daily necessities all the time. This feeling right now of being treated like a God by these disciples was heavenly indeed.
Both of his toes were being cared for tenderly by two disciples. Both legs were being massaged as well. None of his hands were idle either. As for his shoulders, he was attended to by two female disciples of the Xianling Sect on his right and left.
The female disciples of Xianling Sect had a fragrant scent lingering around them. To Lin Fan, they were fine, very fine indeed. Some of them were dainty and cute, while some had sinfully curvy bodies. Some of them looked pure and innocent while others brought about a devilish charm. They came in all sorts of flavors.
And of course, Lin Fan knew that he had just done a really righteous thing. If he had not fought with his life and taken down the Eternal Donger, none of these people would be alive right now.
“Good moves there.” Of course, the view mustn’t be too empty. Right now, a couple of female disciples from Xianling Sect were performing a Sword Dance for Lin Fan.
All of the female disciples from Xianling Sect had unparalleled beauty and talents. They were well versed in musical instruments and painting etc. Some of them did it for the sake of pursuing stronger cultivation bases, while others did it to improve their own portfolios so that one day they could go to some royal empire and be a queen or concubine.
Either way, Lin Fan knew that all of them had their own motives and were not as virtuous as they seemed.
But of course, in front of Lin Fan right now, all of them were obedient and docile.
‘Cuckoo!’ Chicky laid on his back, wings spread out and legs raised in the air. He was intoxicated with pleasure as well.
A pair of tender hands were gently massaging his featherless belly.
From the inebriated look on Chicky’s face, one could tell that he was doused with delight. He would cry out from time to time, with his little stumpy tail, that was used to being quite lively, covering his crotch area to Lin Fan’s great amusement.
It was as though Chicky was being turned on with how good this massage was.
“Ha, do you guys in Tongtian Sect pass down massage skills as well? This is really some moves you’ve got there.” Lin Fan asked the disciple who was caressing his feet.
The disciple laughed in embarrassment, ‘Powerful man, it’s actually a little shameful, but I was actually a servant back before I entered a sect, and was tasked with massaging the feet of my masters. But due to a fated meeting, I was brought into a sect by someone, and have traveled the world since then.”
“Ah, Senior Brother Gao. To think that you had such a past!” Another Tongtian Sect disciple exclaimed in disbelief.
Within the sect, Senior Brother Gao was a famous genius. While he wasn’t the very best, he was still admired and respected by everyone. To think that he was once a servant!
While conversing with these disciples casually, Lin Fan probed a little as well. The views of these disciples towards Lin Fan gradually changed. This man didn’t seem all that bad after all.
In fact, they were even feeling grateful to have the honor of massaging this great man.
They looked over smugly at some of the envious disciples by the sides. Those disciples couldn’t even get the chance to massage this powerful man.
…
The void trembled gently as the Yao Family arrived. Looking at the crowd surrounding the powerful man, Yao Tian spoke carefully and warily.
“Sir, the delicacies have been prepared.”
“Yes. Arrange the dishes. Let me know when you’re done.” Lin Fan yawned. The most important thing post-battle was to relax and let loose.
His next task at hand was to head to Jiuxiao Sect which Liang Yichu mentioned. Whether or not everything was fine would only be determined after he had taken a look personally.
After all, his close friend was there.
The six young masters of the Yao Family tiptoed to try to sneak a peek at this powerful man. But all they saw was a big crowd, and couldn’t make out his features at all.
“All of you stay sharp and arrange the dishes properly!” Yao Tian whispered for his sons to be tactful and wisen up.
But of course, the main addressee of this sentence was Yao Wuxie. After all, Yao Tian was confident of his other five sons. This was the only child he was worried about.
Yao Wuxie looked at the surrounded powerful man with envy. This was definitely a man who knew how to relax and let loose. Yao Wuxie was determined to try this out once he got back to the Dead Demon City.
He had yet to experience a service as such.
“Trash, hurry up!” Third Brother Yao Xingfeng hushed to Yao Wuxie as he walked by.
Yao Wuxie shrugged his shoulders. He did not expect that he was brought here just to be manual labor. But in the face of his father and Grandpa Yao, there was no way he could slack off anyways.
Yao Tian and Grandpa Yao stood where they were and exchanged glances with one another, not sure what else to say. They did not come here expecting the powerful man to take a liking to anyone from their bloodline. But they had to give this gamble a shot and try their luck anyway.
Clang!
Just then, a crashing sound rang out loudly. Yao Wuxie had fallen down. The wine in his hand crashed onto the floor and spilled out as well.
Looking at the clumsy Yao Wuxie, the five other young masters smirked coldly. To think that he would still commit such a mistake even after being a pericelestial. What a pighead, seriously!
Yao Tian and Grandpa Yao’s expression changed as well. They wanted to lecture him. But noticing no reaction from the powerful man, they just shot him a stern glare and motioned for him to clean up the mess.
“I told you, Old Master. There’s no way he’s going to cut it.” Yao Tian said in exasperation. To think that he could still screw up at such an important moment. It was just fortunate that the powerful man did not take offense.
Grandpa Yao sighed and gently shook his head as well, feeling somewhat helpless. He then waved his hand and beckoned for Yao Wuxie to come over.
This was a serious matter right now. As much as he wanted to give Yao Wuxie a chance, now that things had come to this, he was worried that things might really screw up.
Yao Wuxie lowered his head in shame. He had not expected himself to be so useless that he couldn’t even prop up a single wine bottle properly. Dejected, he walked towards his Grandpa.
At this scene, all five young masters laughed out in jeers. This was what they wanted to see most: Yao Wuxie at his worst.
This guy really thought he was worthy of any help? What a joke!
As time passed, the five other young masters set everything up on a table. They then came before their father silently. Yao Tian nodded his head and said, “Old Master, it’s done.”
Old Master Yao nodded his head as well. He then came before Lin Fan. With disciples of the six sects surrounding Lin Fan, he did not dare to raise his voice too much and just whispered, “Senior here, everything has been prepared.”
If an outsider could see this greater celestial full cultivation old master bowing down respectfully and speaking so politely to someone, they would be shocked out of their pants. That was how shocking this whole thing was.
Lin Fan coughed in reply and then rose up. In the near distance, a table filled with gourmet dishes was set up. Smelling the fragrant aroma, Lin Fan was filled with a deep hunger.
Once he was done with the meal, he would make his leave. He didn’t think that this was an unreasonable request for his great deed in saving their lives.
Lin Fan was like the emperor of Earth as he sat there alone, raising his chopsticks.
Time to eat!
“Eh…It’s you!” Sitting at the back dejectedly, Yao Wuxie suddenly exclaimed loudly as he saw who it was. Yao Tian and Grandpa Yao’s face changed immediately. Sh*t! This was not good.
Other than the fifth Brother, every single other young master in the family gloated in glee.
This stupid sixth Brother has gotten himself into trouble once more.
“Senior, this…!” Yao Tian was panicking frantically. He shot a death stare at Yao Wuxie, warning the latter to stop his nonsense.
Grandpa Yao sighed deeply. It was over for them.
But the powerful man’s words had them all dropping their jaws…
Chapter 277: Something Seems to Be Off
p>Grabbing a drumstick in his right hand and about to chomp right onto it, Lin Fan was astonished to hear this voice. Turning around, his heart took a leap.
“Brother Wuxie! To think that you’d be here too!” Lin Fan laughed happily. He had not expected the Yao Family to bring Yao Wuxie along with them.
Lin Fan did not tell the Yao Family about his relationship with Yao Wuxie, because, in his opinion, Yao Wuxie’s rise within the Yao Family was only a matter of time.
Even though the path upwards might be arduous, but which top figures in history had a smooth sailing path to the top? Even for someone such as himself who possessed a heaven-defying system, he too had to experience tons of near-death trials and tribulations.
“Aiyoh, so the powerful man that father and grandpa were talking about is Brother Lin! Damn it! They should have said so earlier. Then I would have brought along some good stuff from my stash to share here with you!” Yao Wuxie heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest.
He was almost pissing from his pants after the lecture by his father earlier on. If his father decided to cut down on his allowance for having fun outside, then life would have been really miserable for him.
“What are you still rambling on about, Brother Wuxie! Come on over and have a few drinks with me!” Lin Fan beckoned to him. Since things had come to this, Lin Fan did not mind declaring his relationship with Yao Wuxie anyways.
This way, Yao Wuxie could probably enjoy a better status within the family from now on as well.
“Heh heh, I’m feeling pretty hungry as well.” Yao Wuxie laughed heartily. For a man like him with a screw loose, he still had not figured out the exact situation right now.
If it were anybody else, they wouldn’t be able to stay so calm right now.
…
Yao Tian and Grandpa Yao were flabbergasted. Just what was happening right now? How did that child, Wuxie, get acquainted with this powerful man?
Furthermore, by the sounds of their conversation, brother here and brother there, they seemed to be really close!
Yao Tengfei was scared shitless as he hid behind everyone else, pale as a sheet. He had not seen the features of this man from the start. Hence, he did not know who it was.
But the moment Lin Fan sat down, Yao Tengfei’s jaws fell apart.
Wasn’t this guy…the guy they had bumped into the other day?!?
After the trashing that day, Yao Tengfei had intended to seek vengeance against this guy. But due to the weird occurrences of the Dead Demon Sea, he forgot all about it.
And the moment he saw the true appearance of this all-powerful man, Yao Tengfei shuddered.
“Old Master, what’s…happening?” Yao Tian’s heart was thumping furiously. This whole series of events had been so confusing that he didn’t even have any mental capacity to process everything anymore.
Old Master Yao did not reply. Right now, a thought was floating within his mind.
Could this man be…?
…
Lin Fan and Yao Wuxie were in the midst of a hearty conversation over wine. For Lin Fan, it was not easy to find someone who was this interesting.
Even though Yao Wuxie’s cultivation base was nothing much, he possessed a Special Body Type. In fact, he might be the only person in the entire Xuanhuang World who possessed this body type. That alone was pretty spectacular.
Even though Yao Wuxie was like a carp right now, Lin Fan was confident that he would leap over the Dragon’s Gate from waterfall to be a dragon one day.
It was just that Lin Fan had yet to discover the way to activate this Special Body Type. Hence, Yao Wuxie could only depend on himself for now.
The eldest young master of the Yao Family, Yao Shengtian, looked at the whole thing inexplicably. How could this trash be so familiar with the powerful man?
Was he going to lose the rights as the Yao Family’s next head right here?
Yao Shengtian’s eyes glinted. A smile curled on his face as he walked forth.
“Hi there, powerful sir. I am sixth Brother’s elder brother. To think that you would know my younger brother, this is fate indeed. If you don’t mind, may I…” Yao Shengtian needed a way to curry favor with this man. No matter what, he mustn’t let this piece of trash take the advantage.
Otherwise, the Yao Family would belong to that trash!
But before Yao Shengtian could even finish, he was cut off mercilessly.
“I mind. You can just remain standing there.” Lin Fan looked at Yao Shengtian with an unassuming smile as well.
Lin Fan could not be bothered with the Yao Family.
What Lin Fan liked about Yao Wuxie were his personality and character. But this did not mean that he would then accept just about anyone else from the Yao Family as friends.
Towards Lin Fan’s unhesitating rejection, Yao Shengtian stood there awkwardly while burning in shame, momentarily at a loss for actions.
“Get the hell back! Your sixth Brother is having a chat with the powerful sir. What does it have to do with you?” Yao Tian lectured fiercely.
How could he not know what Yao Shengtian was up to? When he saw his eldest son move out to salvage the situation, he was actually rooting secretly in his heart for him to succeed. But he did not expect things to turn out this way.
Seemed like it wasn’t that easy to get close to this powerful man after all.
Eventually, Yao Shengtian lowered his head with a look of indignation. His face was burning red hot right now, as though this invisible slap by Lin Fan seared through his skin.
Looking at Yao Shengtian’s shriveled look, Yao Wuxie was pretty pleased as well. Finally, after being walloped by Yao Shengtian every so often, it was finally his turn to face some humiliation.
Just then, Yao Wuxie patted Lin Fan in a shy and uncomfortable manner.
“Erm, Brother Lin, you know, erm, your massage just now? You know, those shoulder rubs and massages…”
Looking at Yao Wuxie’s face, Lin Fan chuckled gently, “And your intentions?”
“Erm, aiyah, Brother Lin, well, I’ve never experienced it before.” Yao Wuxie was like a docile and shy girl right now, embarrassed at what he was saying.
“Hahaha!” Lin Fan laughed out. He then looked at some female disciples from Xianling Sect and beckoned over to them, “Come over. Serve some wine and massage.”
Excited, Yao Wuxie shot upright and sat straight. This was the first time he was going to experience such luxury.
Chicky, who was in the midst of savoring his meal, looked at these two men who were enjoying themselves. He lowered his head and thought for a while. Raising up his head, he glared at a female disciple in the distance fiercely.
Looking at Chicky’s overbearing look, the female disciple shuddered for a moment, then hurried over and massaged Chicky’s back.
Finally satisfied, Chicky let out a comforted cry and continued to enjoy his meal.
…
Looking at the scene before them, the entire Yao Family was stumped.
In fact, Yao Tian and Old Master Yao were trembling nonstop. But this was not due to fear. This was due to the excitement. To think that the most looked down upon sixth son of the Yao Family would be entitled to such treatment.
By the looks of it, these two were way more than just mere friends!
The scene where Yao Wuxie patted the powerful man’s back while happily calling him brother was especially mind-blowing.
That shocking battle earlier was witnessed clearly by the both of them.
The Heavens shook, the Earth shattered, while spacetime was distorted and reversed. Every single crazy thing which was inconceivable had happened…
Right now, Lin Fan was deep in his thoughts as well. Since he was unable to activate the Special Body Type for Yao Wuxie, this might have to depend on Yao Wuxie himself then.
“Brother Wuxie, have you considered heading out of the Dead Demon City to train up?” Lin Fan prodded.
“Huh? Train? I’m the worst at enduring hardships y’know… Hahaha.” Yao Wuxie munched on his drumstick happily with chicken oil glistening on his lips. The female disciple who was massaging him helped to wipe off the oil, envious of his current standing in front of this powerful man as well.
“You don’t wish to be strong anymore? To be that man who could stand atop this world?” Lin Fan continued.
“Hahaha, don’t mess with me already, Brother Lin. Me? Top of the world? Someone like me would die before even getting too far from home! The Dead Demon City is comfortable enough as it is, haha. Nope, not going out, nope!” Yao Wuxie shook his head.
With his potential, even the fact that he was at this cultivation base right now was based on pure luck.
Listening to these words, Yao Tian and Old Master Yao were fumbling in their hearts.
‘Top of the world.’
Lin Fan laughed and shook his head. Was this the end of the discussion already? Seemed like he had to pull some tricks for this to play out.
The meal ended quickly.
It was time for Lin Fan to leave. But before he did so, he pulled Yao Tian and Old Master Yao to one side and whispered to them. Both of them nodded profusely without replying much. But at the end of it all, their eyes were filled with a weird look.
Not knowing what was happening, Yao Wuxie could only tell that something was awry, as he met with the weird gazes of his father and grandpa.
…
Chapter 278: Huh? Straight For My Life?
p>Traversing on the expressway of the heavens, Lin Fan was feeling pretty good. Everything aside, even though the Dead Demon Seas was fraught with danger, he did end up with quite bountiful returns.
The Eternal Arm alone was a heaven-defying existence. As for the Eternal Donger, Lin Fan could not get through his own mental barrier. So, he decided to just let it sit quietly in his storage.
Looking at the panel of the system, Lin Fan smirked joyfully.
Name: Lin Fan.

Storage: Eternal Axe, Nine Five Legendary Brick, Seven Saints Treasure Map, Eternal Donger, Countless pills, Liang Yichu’s corpse.
…
Lin Fan was very heartened with everything he had read from the panel. These were the fruits of all his hard work and efforts in overcoming multiple trials and tribulations. Was there truly anyone in this world who could be a match for him? Wherever he was, he would always end up being the leader of a new trend. That was the sort of man he was.
There were just two things that he had yet to figure out entirely, the Firmament’s Blood and the Heaven and Earth Sutra which had fused together with him earlier on.
He could probably only depend on himself to find out the truth about these.
‘Cuckcuckoo!’ Chicky rubbed his tummy happily. To savor such a delicious meal with the service of a beautiful lady to boot, that was what life was supposed to be indeed.
“Chicky, Daddy’s got something to discuss with you.” Lin Fan eyes shone with a weird glimmer.
Turning around his beady eyes, he cast a suspicious look on Lin Fan, wondering what the latter was up to.
“Do you want to turn stronger? Do you want to strut the true powers of being a chicken? Do you want to be the godly chicken who will stand atop this very world?” Lin Fan tempted Chicky in a soft voice. With every single question, Chicky’s eyes burnt with additional thirst.
Chicky could not help but start to imagine.
A noble and respected featherless chicken, flapping across the skies. From all over the world, innumerable hens would be flocking to surround him…
The more Chicky imagined, the better the scene became. In his little Chicky eyes, the greed grew even brighter. He then slowly tilted towards Lin Fan and nodded in all seriousness.
Oh well then, let the burden of maintaining the peace of the world fall on the shoulders of him, the great Chicky.
“I’m so proud of you Chicky, I knew you wouldn’t let me down. Alright, since goodies should always be kept within one’s family, I’ll let you be the one to fuse with this indescribably strong Eternal Donger then! Lin Fan revealed his ultimate scheme. Everyone was there to witness the power of the Eternal Donger.
Initially filled with expectations, Chicky’s face turned into one of shock after hearing Lin Fan’s words. Spreading out his wings and crying out in fear, he leaped down from Lin Fan’s shoulders. Shaking his bottom, he dashed far into the distance in a fluster.
“Oi, oi! Chicky! Hold up…!” Lin Fan was momentarily stunned before he started giving chase.
‘CUCKCUCKCUCKCUCKCUKOOOOOOOO!!!’ Chicky’s cries were filled with terror.
And just like that, the man and the chicken ran in a game of hide and seek and gradually disappeared in the horizon.
…
Dead Demon City…
Yao Wuxie was suddenly the center of everyone’s attention.
Those five brothers of his who had used him as a punching bag for their entire lives no longer dared to even speak before him. And if he were to stand in front of any of them, their faces would be so terrible that they could almost cry out.
Heh heh…
Yao Wuxie could finally start to feel some happiness in his life. Brother Lin was Brother Lin indeed. Just a simple meal with Brother Lin and his whole life changed in an instant. What a good buddy this Brother Lin was!
…
Yao Family…
“Old Master, do you think we can trust the words of the powerful man?” Yao Tian’s face was filled with glee, but he was hesitant at the same time.
To think that the key factor for the Yao Family to be strong and invincible would be Yao Wuxie.
But no matter how looked, up, down, left, or right, he could not tell how this trash of a son of his could be any different from now.
Old Master Yao sat silently, but his heart was even more excited. When one reached his state of cultivation, the things that one saw and understood would be way ahead of the mere plebeians.
“No matter trustworthy or not, just based on his relationship with that child, Wuxie, do you think that powerful man would harm him? And in any case, does it look like he could even benefit anything out of the Yao Family with his status? You’re right to be doubtful at times about things, but there are times when that doubt is undue.” Old Master Yao commented wisely. “Go, get them here… the three lackeys of Wuxie as well. Go.”
“Yes, Old Master.” Yao Tian nodded his head. It was time to carry out the powerful man’s will.
…
Right now, Yao Wuxie was just casually strolling the streets as usual. Coming upon a beautiful female martial artist, his eyes gleamed and he started with his provocative flirtation once more.
When she turned around and saw his robes which were embossed with the Yao Family’s emblem from head to toe, she just took a deep breath, tolerated it and walked out of his way.
Haha…!
Yao Wuxie was elated. These carefree days were the most suited for someone like him.
“Young master, you’ve got to head back quickly! The Old Master and Family Head are saying that they’re gonna leave for an expedition! Furthermore, it’s gonna take them a few years!” Da Ha ran over frantically.
“Huh?” Yao Wuxie was stumped. Waking up from his shock, he hurried home as well.
The moment he got home, Yao Wuxie found out that his father and grandpa had already left the family. He asked around anxiously for some actual estimates as to how long they would be gone for. The answers were not favorable: nothing less than three years.
F”ck…! Yao Wuxie could feel an impending tragedy about to befall upon himself.
Even though his status within the family had risen tremendously because of Brother Lin, it was also because his father and grandpa were present! Now that they were gone, who was going to speak up for him within the family anymore!
Catching the gloating eyes of his five brothers, Yao Wuxie’s heart thumped furiously. Feeling amiss, he dashed back into his own house.
Sht. Sht! SHT! How did the good fortune he just received deplete so rapidly?!? Damn it. He was so going to get walloped again in the days to come! But okay, at least he wasn’t the same Yao Wuxie he was before. Right now, he possessed the skill that Brother Lin had imparted to him. Also, he doubted that the others would dare to go overboard with him.
For the rest of the day, Yao Wuxie stayed within his house contemplating on his future course of action.
The biggest headache for him right now was his allowance to squander around. Wasn’t that going to be deducted greatly from here on forth?
Now that his father and grandpa were gone, the interim leader should be his eldest brother, Yao Shengtian. Sh*t man! How was he to get money from this guy?
The sun set, and the night crept in…
Yao Wuxie was in his house drinking wine and admiring the moon, embracing the wonderful comforts of his life right now.
Suddenly, the door of his yard burst open.
“Young…young master! Run! Run! The Eldest young master wants your…life!” Da Ha burst into the house with a long sword in his hand. His face was smeared with fresh blood, and an open wound on his left arm was oozing blood as well.
Crash.
Shocked, Yao Wuxie dropped the wine cup he was holding onto the floor.
“Ha…” Yao Wuxie looked at Da Ha, somewhat dumbfounded. What the hell was happening? Hadn’t father and grandpa left the family literally today? Before even walloping Yao Wuxie, Yao Shengtian was heading for his life straight up?!? Wasn’t that way too vicious of him?!?
“Yao Wuxie, you piece of trash! Your doomsday is here…!” A cold voice boomed from outside.
…
Chapter 279: Filled With Loopholes
p>”Da Ha, Er Ha, San Ha…this…!” Yao Wuxie was totally flabbergasted. Just what in the world was happening right now? Everything that was unfolding before his eyes were totally unbelievable!
A figure broke through the door.
Yao Shengtian’s face was filled with murderous intent. The longsword in his hand shimmered brightly under the moonlight.
“Big brother, what are you doing?” Yao Wuxie asked in astonishment.
“Hmph, you useless piece of trash! So what if you’ve gotten the recognition of the powerful man! Now that father and Old Master are out of the family and won’t be back for a few more years to come, this is really convenient now. I can easily come up with an excuse to cover up for your death and hide it over. Remember now, the Yao Family has no room for a piece of trash like you to be impertinent!’ Yao Shengtian snorted coldly.
Yao Wuxie finally understood what was happening. His brothers were here to take his life. Even though his eldest brother was the only one appearing right now, Yao Wuxie was sure that the others were hidden in ambush somewhere.
“Big brother, we’re blood brothers…!” Yao Wuxie cried out.
“Hmph, kill him.” Yao Shengtian waved his hands. Multiple auras of martial artists shot out from the shadows of the surroundings.
“Er Ha! San Ha! Protect and escort the young master out! I’ll hold them off here! Go now!” Da Ha roared and dashed forward with his longsword, defending against the aggressors.
“Da Ha…!” Looking at Da Ha’s fearless act of valor, Yao Wuxie could not help but feel extremely anxious.
“Young master, we’ve got to go!” Er Ha and San Ha exchanged glances before holding on to Yao Wuxie’s arm on each side. With a single leap, they brought him over the surrounding walls and continued running out.
“This must be a misunderstanding! You guys gotta let me clarify things!” Yao Wuxie exclaimed with his face pale as a sheet.
“What’s there to clarify, young master? How wrong could this be? The eldest young master is definitely out for your life!” Er Ha and San Ha replied hurriedly.
“Ah…!”
Just then, a tragic cry rang out from the Yao Family residences.
“Da Ha…!” Yao Wuxie’s blood ran cold. He knew that voice. It was Da Ha’s voice!
Yao Wuxie had grown up with the three of them since birth. Even though they were his underlings, he still had deep emotional attachments with all of them.
“Young master, we’ve got to hurry! We can’t let Da Ha sacrifice himself for nothing!” Er Ha shouted.
Yao Family…
Da Ha stood there pretending to scream at the top of his lungs. The scream was so tragic that anyone who heard it would definitely be heartbroken as well.
Da Ha was filled with anticipation for his young master, who had disappeared a while ago.
Hopefully, this would help his young master pull himself together as a man.
When the Family Head and the Old Master called for them to take part in this plan, they agreed without a single bit of hesitation. If it were for their young master’s good, then why not?
Even though it might not be fair to trick the young master like this, they were sure that he would understand their efforts in the days to come.
Two pairs of eyes observed the events unfolding within the shadows. They had laid the trap as the powerful man had wished for. Things were going exactly as planned.
On the streets of Dead Demon City…
Night had fallen, and the streets were mostly cleared of residents.
“Young master, lets exit through the Northern gate! Once we get out of there and enter the forest, we can lose their trail and escape from there on!” Er Ha and San Ha have been pulling Yao Wuxie along the way.
Yao Wuxie was still in a state of shock, and his brain had not registered the actual situation right now. Why had things come to this?
Tap tap tap.
The sound of footsteps!
A group of martial artists from the Yao Family were deep in pursuit right behind them!
“KILL YAO WUXIE!” A series of shouts echoed from behind.
Yao Wuxie could clearly make out this voice as well. This was his third Brother’s voice! He was right. All five of them were out for his life!
“Young master, this is perfect! The Northern gate’s not locked, and there’s no one guarding right now! Now’s the time!” Er Ha and San Ha exclaimed in chorus.
Nodding his head nervously, Yao Wuxie dashed towards the direction of the gate.
The moment he passed the gate, he turned around to find out that Er Ha and San Ha were not with him.
“Hurry up…!” Yao Wuxie called out nervously.
“Young master, please escape! We’ll hold them off here!” Er Ha and San Ha’s acting were unparalleled in this instance. Within those resolute and firm eyes was mixed even a look of unwillingness.
“Hold your as! Hurry up!” Yao Wuxie roared. He had already lost Da Ha, he must definitely not let Er Ha and San Ha follow down the same path!
“No, young master! If you don’t leave now, none of us will be able to make it out alive! The three of us have spent our lives growing up with you, and that’s more than enough for us. Even though you idle around lazily every day, you’ve never been someone who committed evil deeds. Therefore, we’ve only been filled with nothing but respect for you! Young master, you’ve got to grow stronger and stand up on your own!” Er Ha and San Ha were using their utmost effort to push the doors to close from within the city right now. For pericelestial beings, closing that gate should have been an effortless act. But for the sake of the drama, both of them pushed really slowly and painstakingly.
PSHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
An arrow shot from the skies, piercing through Er Ha’s shoulders.
“Er Ha…!” Looking at the scene before him, Yao Wuxie’s eyes reddened with tears.
“Young master…leave…!” Er Ha and San Ha continued shouting.
“Kill them all…!” The group from behind had finally caught up. Under the third Brother’s command, swords shimmered and glowed while cutting down from all directions.
Yao Wuxie could only stand petrified while he was looking at the final moments of Er Ha and San Ha, those looks of struggle within their hearts.
Blood sprayed out from the backs of Er Ha and San Ha.
“Young…master…! L-leave…!”
BOOM!
And finally, the gates slammed shut. Yao Wuxie could only hear the sorrowful cries coming out from the other end of the gate.
The last thing Yao Wuxie witnessed was Er Ha and San Ha blocking the final gaps of the gate with their bodies to slam the gates shut.
“Young master…take…revenge for us…!” A cry permeated the skies from the other end of the gates.
Still shuddering from the shock, Yao Wuxie’s eyes brimmed with tears. Wiping them, he eventually turned tail and ran towards the forest in the distance.
It was all his fault for being so weak. He had failed to protect even his closest friends.
All you bstards! Yao Wuxie swore that he would return one day to mince them into dead meat.
‘Da Ha, Er Ha, San Ha. Please rest in peace. I swear that I’ll grow so strong to seek vengeance for you guys.’
‘Yao Shengtian! I’ll discard my humanity if I fail to kill you…!’
…
Within the city…
Er Ha and San Ha were sweating profusely from their back injuries.
Old Master Yao and Yao Tian appeared from the voids and hurriedly took out some precious medicine to apply on these two.
“Good. All three of you have done well. From now on, your families are no longer servants. For generations to come, your families shall be deemed as an allied family clan to the Yao Family.” Yao Tian commended.
“Thank you, Family Head.” The three of them nodded their heads, but they were not overly concerned with the reward. They could only look at the gate, hoping for their young master to return soon with some true growth.
Old Master Yao let out a sigh. Even though this was unfair to that child, this was probably the only way to ensure his bright future.
Yao Shengtian stood there with an emotionless look. He did not care a single bit about Yao Wuxie’s future. The only reason why he took part in this plan was because of that promise from his father and Old Master.
The seat of the Family Head would belong to him.
To Yao Tian and the Old Master, even though the seat of the Family Head might seem important to everyone else, they knew otherwise. If Yao Wuxie could really grow to the extent the powerful man had predicted, then his presence would naturally weigh over that of the Family Head for sure.
“Send men after him. Remember to only exert pressure. No one shall dare to take his life.” Old Master Yao ordered.
“Yes…!”
Even though this plan was filled with loopholes, for someone like Yao Wuxie who had a screw loose, it was all completely realistic and believable. The only reason he could escape was the sacrifice of his three friends’ lives…
…
Chapter 280: A Chicken’s Ploy
p>In the midst of a dense forest existed a limpid pond with white mist being emitted gently from it. This was a naturally created pond, and quite an impressive sight to behold.
A group of figures descended from the skies, all of them females.
However, their bodies were filled with bloodstains from head to toe. From the looks on their faces, they seemed to be in a hurry.
“Senior sister, what should we do now?” A dainty little girl asked while checking her surroundings warily.
“There’s a natural waterhole right here. All of you head into wash away the bloodstains first. There’s definitely something wrong with the powder those guys from Jiuxiao Sect tossed at us.” The Senior sister who was leading them looked extraordinarily confident and exquisite.
“Yes…”
…
Lin Fan and Chicky had made up since then. Back when Chicky heard of Lin Fan’s suggestion to fuse the Eternal Donger with him, he was scared out of his wits. For Chicky, the original was the best. Who would want to merge with that black and slick Eternal Donger?
So, Lin Fan decided not to pressurize him any further as well. Looking at the Eternal Donger in his bag, he let out a sigh. Even Chicky would look down on it, let alone him.
Right now, Lin Fan was headed in the direction of Jiuxiao Sect. Even though he had quite a few locations left to explore for the ‘Seven Saints Treasure Map’, the important task at hand was to check on the situation of Jiuxiao Sect.
According to Lin Fan’s thoughts, with two sets of his bones destroyed, the only godly consciousness of that Seven Saint left was in the black dog in his storage. He must not have been to the other locations just yet.
At first, Lin Fan was filled with curiosity and interest towards the ‘Seven Saint Treasure Map’. But right now, all he wanted to do was loot everything clean before grooming this Seven Saint black dog.
Lin Fan was a man who bore grudges. To think that this Seven Saint would try to do him in. If Yours Truly didn’t teach him a good lesson, he’d think that Yours Truly was a pushover.
As for Yao Wuxie, Lin Fan could only feel apologetic towards that guy. Based on the timeline, he should have been chased out of the Dead Demon City by now. But oh well, some training outside would only do Yao Wuxie more good than harm anyways.
And, he had spared no expenses on coming up with this elaborate ploy. Based on his novel reading experiences, Lin Fan had thought up of this ploy just for Yao Wuxie. Even though it would be full of loopholes to the well-trained mind, someone like Yao Wuxie who had a screw loose would definitely not be able to see anything wrong.
Plop. Plop.
Lin Fan heard the sounds of water splashing. Furthermore, he heard the voices of women.
Water…women…
Putting these two things together, Lin Fan realized what was happening and crept forward.
“Chicky, let me show you something good!” Good stuff was meant to be shared. In a situation like this, how could Lin Fan leave Chicky behind?
‘Cuckoo!’ Chicky was about to cry out loudly, but his beak was closed shut by Lin Fan so tightly that he almost choked.
“Cry your mother! If you cry out, we’ll have nothing to see!”’ Lin Fan knocked Chicky on the head.
Chicky’s eyes glimmered as he shirked back his chicken head and nodded.
And just like that, the man and chicken duo crept slowly before lying prone on a big rock beside the lake.
Lin Fan had always viewed himself as a gentleman. But even a gentleman sought out thrills from time to time.
Thrills such as running away after putting up a fabulous show.
And of course, thrills such as engaging in voyeurism… erm no, watching an exciting broadway show.
He did not have this chance before in the past, but Lin Fan could guarantee right now that these were angels dancing in the waters.
Now, Lin Fan was certain that those ladies taking a bath right now were definitely not plump and humungous like elephants. Even though it was his first time at such antics, he could still differentiate the different types of fragrances.
Even though there was a weird scent mixed in, the aroma was still deliciously sweet.
This chicken and man duo laid down prone on the rock, gradually shifting their eyes dodgily.
“Chicky, you’re still young. You’ve got to hold it in.” Lin Fan used his hands to cover Chicky’s eyes, who immediately waved his wings frantically in protest.
Those women in the pond were splendid indeed. Lin Fan was right, women who could hold a stand of their own in the Xuanhuang world must definitely be good looking.
Their figures were full and slender at the exact places they should be. Charisma of a queen, docile as a shy girl, pure as a maiden, and devilish like a succubus. All different types of girls one could wish for were present. Those slender and silky smooth arms caused one’s thoughts to go astray. Even though their bodies were hidden beneath the water surface, Lin Fan could not contain his bedazzled gazes.
Their cultivation bases were pretty decent too.
Across the board, all of them were pericelestials, except for one who was even at lesser celestial middle level.
If it were anybody else, they would have long been discovered.
But who was Lin Fan? He was the man who could walk without a single sound and possessed all sorts of sneaky maneuvers.
With both his eyes covered by Lin Fan, Chicky could not see a single thing. In a fit of anger, he leaped out with both claws and jumped to one side.
“Chicky…” Lin Fan was stunned. This chicken had better not expose their position! What happened next had Lin Fan’s jaws dropping down. To think that Chicky would just boldly and righteously walk up front!
“Who…!” Indeed, the moment Chicky hopped out, all the girls in the pond entered a state of alert.
‘Cuckcuckoo!’ Without any fear nor hesitation, Chicky walked down onto the slightly wet floor beside the pond. Pecking up and down, his small little head bobbed while his wings spread slightly. From within the mud, he pecked out a long worm and swallowed it whole.
Those maidens in the pond heaved a sigh of relief, “Oh, it’s just a wild animal, nothing much. Let’s just hurry and bathe.”
“Holy shit. That worked?” Lin Fan was dumbfounded. How could Chicky be this smart?
Even though Chicky was pecking on the ground, those small little claws inched forward step by step as well. As for those sharp little eyes? Naturally, they gazed fixedly at that beautiful sight in the waters.
Lin Fan was filled with hatred by now. How could Chicky be so sly to come up with something like this!
And something even more shocking happened. Chicky dived right into the pond. Like a duck, he spread his wings and frolicked on the water surface. Suddenly, he dove beneath the waters and after a long time, he finally came up with a fish in his beak.
Even though this was something really normal to the beautiful girls, it was an absolute act of espionage to Lin Fan! Chicky was just going way too far with this!
What a beast…!
What a b*stard…!
Lin Fan turmoiled within his heart. How could his innocent Chicky turn this way?
And finally, Chicky emerged from the pond and just stood there looking at them in a daze.
“Isn’t this chicken a little too teasing…?” One of the beautiful girls asked suspiciously.
“Alright, let’s head off. We can’t stay here for too long.” The stern senior sister remarked.
Leaping into the skies, all the girls were in their fullest birthday suit glory. But it wasn’t for long as they quickly retrieved their clothing from their storage rings and put them on.
But the damage had been done.
Chicky collapsed onto the ground with his eyes wide open and two streams of blood spraying out from his tiny nostrils.
Lin Fan was equally stunned. That was a frightening scene indeed. It was so…beautiful yet vulgar. Without a single warning, they were exposed fully as such. How scary!
The moment the group left, Lin Fan hurried forward.
“Chicky, chicky…!’ With both legs strut straight in the skies, Chicky shook his small little head and sobered up. His chest pounded up and down. That scene had evidently caused a large amount of damage to Chicky’s fragile mental self.
Looking at that intoxicated face of Chicky, Lin Fan was filled with contempt as well. This was a chicken with no backbone!
“Alright alright, time to move. Now that you’ve had your fun it’s time for us to leave!” Lin Fan hooked up Chicky and placed him on his back before making his way forward.
Chapter 281: Disgrace Of Jiuxiao Sect
p>”Senior Sister, do you think master can hold out until we’re back?” In that dense patch of forest, a junior sister asked worriedly.
“Yes, for sure.” The big senior sister nodded her head. But the look of hesitation in her eyes betrayed her thoughts. She was unable to guarantee that their sect could hold out till then as well…
They had come from a happy and peaceful sect which rarely sought out any troubles or duels with any other sects. But one fine day, they were targeted by a strong and powerful sect bent on destroying theirs.
She could not understand why. Jiuxiao Sect was the strongest sect on the western side of the continent! Why were they bent on destroying a tiny sect like that? What sort of benefits would they get from doing so?
And the reason for their escape right now was to seek help from other sects to save them from this predicament. But just as they were running, a long sword shimmered in the light from the skies. It shot down right in front of them, blocking their path forward.
“Dregs of the Moon Palace Sect, we’ll see where you can run!” Multiple figures descended from the skies.
“Those people from Jiuxiao Sect are here!” The faces of the disciples of the Moon Palace Sect changed.
“Big Senior Sister, what should we do?” A female disciple asked, her face pale as a sheet. These disciples of Jiuxiao Sect were vicious and cruel. They had already lost multiple fellow sister disciples at their hands.
But what they did not expect was for these people to catch up with them this quickly. After all, they had already washed off the powder that was tossed at them. How could these guys be this fast?
Were they truly so bent on destroying Moon Palace Sect?
The strongest member of the Moon Palace Sect was only a greater celestial upper level, and she was quite a distance from attaining the peak level. If not for the fact that the Moon Palace Sect had a big group of defenders gathered to hold against the invasion, they would have perished instantly the moment these guys struck.
But, if this small group did not manage to find help in time, the destruction of the Moon Palace Sect was also just a matter of time.
Take the chance to slaughter all of them!” Mu Han’s face was resolute.
Even though it would probably be tough for them to break out of this ambush, this was their only chance. If they just gave up right here and now, then they would have no hope left.
The disciples of the Moon Palace Sect grasped their weapons tightly in their hands. Secluded from the rest of the world, they rarely had the chance to fight against other people. Now that they were up against a bunch of vicious and cruel enemies, they were filled with nothing but fear.
“HAHA! The rumors had it that disciples of the Moon Palace Sect were as pretty as angels in the skies. Indeed, you guys live up to the legends. Seventeen pericelestials and one lesser celestial middle level? Not bad, not bad. But, it’s a pity it won’t last.” A middle-aged man from the Jiuxiao Sect walked out.
The man had an eagle-like hooked nose with pimples all over his face. Those thin slit eyes revealed an evil gaze.
Back in Jiuxiao Sect, he had been imprisoned in the jail for committing a wrongdoing. However, the Grandmaster of Jiuxiao Sect had let him out eventually. But to someone like Li Tianxing, that second chance was something not to be wasted.
Li Tianxing was of a lesser celestial upper-level cultivation base. Back in Jiuxiao Sect, this was pretty impressive. Even the inner sect disciples could not hold up against him. And that wrongdoing he had committed that fateful day?
Drugging a fellow junior sister and raping her.
Now that he was finally released, he could no longer hold back the thirst within his soul. Since these girls were here ripe for the taking, why waste the chance?
“Junior Brothers, your Senior Brother here will give you guys a good show today.” Li Tianxing snorted smugly with an impure look on that malevolent face.
Li Tianxing struck. Waving his robes, the skies were filled with a strange green mist. This same mist covered the Moon Palace Sect disciples like a cage.
“Don’t breathe in! The mist must be poisonous!” Mu Han’s face was petrified. The moment the mist started descending, she could sense something wrong with it. The Moon Palace Sect disciples started channeling their True Energy into a protective bubble, protecting them against this corrosive mist.
“HAHA! Give up! These are not something your True Energy barriers can block out!” Li Tianxing laughed grimly. The petite figures of these female disciples were turning him on.
The fragrant scent being emitted from them in the air was especially titillating for him.
The other Jiuxiao Sect disciples who had followed along were frowning slightly. What a despicable move Li Tianxing was employing! But even then, none of them would dare to stand up against him.
He was infamous back in the sect for his merciless killings.
“Senior Sister, we…we can’t hold it off anymore…!” One of the disciples cried out in shock. Suddenly, her True Energy barrier shattered. Taking a breath, the green mist entered her body smoothly through her nose.
Instantly, she lost all her strength and sat on the floor, motionless and paralyzed.
Mu Han’s face was horrified as well. Her barrier was slowly getting thinner against this invasive mist as well. And finally, it disintegrated entirely.
“Haha! How’s that? Does my Bone Softening Mixture feel good?” Li Tianxing roared out in laughter. Even though he was a lesser celestial upper-level master, he was still very meticulous in making use of poisons, especially those which could get a woman in his arms immediately.
“You…despicable…!” Mu Han glared at Li Tianxing with hatred. She had not expected a lesser celestial upper level being to resort to such shameless moves.
“Despicable? No, no, no, darling, I just don’t want to even harm a single bit of your perfect bodies. Alright, fellow junior brothers, this one’s mine. You guys can go have your pick amongst the other girls! Take your time ravishing them, abusing them any way you like! HAHA!” A creepy smile formed on Li Tianxing’s pimply face as he viewed these girls with those penetrative eyes.
“Oh, don’t struggle now. I can assure you that you won’t even have the strength to commit suicide right now. But of course, I’ll send you on your way after I’m done playing with you…” Li Tianxing wiped his mouth as though he couldn’t wait to bite into this delicious dish.
“Senior Brother Li, how about we just kill them straight? I don’t think we should engage in such vulgar acts…” One of the disciples of Jiuxiao Sect commented somewhat awkwardly.
His gleeful face turned frosty as Li Tianxing turned around to glare at that disciple. His gaze was so frightening the other party shuddered.
“Senior Brother…”
“Junior Brother, did you just say that your Senior Brother’s going to commit a vulgar act?” Li Tianxing walked in front of the junior brother. That frosty look was now heating up rapidly as he breathed down the other party’s neck.
“Senior Brother, Jiuxiao Sect is a famous sect after all. It’s a strategic move to destroy other sects, but there’s no need to humiliate their disciples as such, is there? How different would we be from demons then? I don’t agree with this.” Taking in a deep breath, the disciple replied.
Stab.
“Senior brother, you…” The junior brother did not expect Li Tianxing to strike so suddenly. Staring at the dagger dug deep into his chest in disbelief, he breathed his last.
“Hmph… Know your place.” Li Tianxing snorted contemptuously and kept the dagger which was laced with poison.
“Do you guys think that your senior brother is a vulgar man?” Li Tianxing swept the crowd with a threatening gaze. He didn’t mind sending whoever dared to nod their heads on their way as well.
The Jiuxiao Sect disciples looked at Li Tianxing in fear. Actually, their thoughts were in line with that junior brother there. They shouldn’t trample on these opposing disciple as such. After all, such acts were not befitting of a man.
But under Li Tianxing’s coercing tone, none of them dared to voice out.
“Aiyah, fellow junior brothers. Since senior brother wants us to do this, we can’t let him down now, can we?” One of the junior disciples stood out and said. Li Tianxing was a man who killed without batting an eyelid.
Now was definitely not the time to be opposing him. Perhaps, they could tell on him once they meet with their Elder later on.
They wondered why the Grandmaster would let such a man out of jail.
“Yes…”
Even though the other disciples of Jiuxiao Sect was indignant, this seemed to be the only way out. Looking at these helpless female disciples, they could only sigh helplessly.
“Pretty girl, come and service me well then.” Li Tianxing laughed and walked forward.
“Don’t…come…near…!” Mu Han’s face was pale as a sheet. But she was paralyzed from head to toe. She couldn’t even move a muscle, let alone fight against this beast.
…
“How dare you guys disgrace the name of Jiuxiao Sect?” An angry roar echoed from the void.
Li Tianxiang jumped in shock, wondering who it was.
Hope sparkled in the desolate eyes of the Moon Palace Sect disciples as they looked around for the source of the voice.
Who was it…just who was it…?
Chapter 282: You Guys Break My Heart
p>Lin Fan had not expected to come across something so savagely vile. If it were other people committing the rape, he probably wouldn’t have been so enraged. But to think that these were disciples of Jiuxiao Sect!
What was Jiuxiao Sect? It was a sect that was cared for and tied so closely to Glory Sect that they were practically like family. His buddy Xinfeng was a genius disciple of the sect as well! But what sort of fcking scumbags and lowlifes were these creatures here who were trying to commit this fcked up sin?
If they were just out to destroy the other sect, Lin Fan could not argue much with it. After all, Xuanhuang world was a place where it was survival of the fittest. But to be this despicable? He could not take it lying down. Wasn’t this just a smear of his buddy’s reputation?
But beyond all that, there was just one outstanding reason. Bloody hell, wasn’t Li Tianxing too f*cking ugly? For an ugly toad like that to lust after these scrumptious swans? Lin Fan could not hold back against that level of hideousness.
“‘Who? Who’s there? Come on out! Don’t play the fool!” Li Tianxing stopped in his tracks with a frosty look, bent on finding out who was the one causing trouble.
“Hmph, scumbag… Degenerate of the sect… Disgrace of the world.” Lin Fan walked out of the dense forest with a look of wrath. His face revealed a pained look, as though his heart was broken. On his shoulder, Chicky shook his head as well, evidently in sadness.
When Mu Han saw the incoming figure, she was a little downcast. He seemed a little too young. This…
Even though cultivation base was not entirely dependent on age, age was still a factor to it.
Even if one’s potential was boundless and limitless, at such a young age, the most one could get to was probably only a lesser celestial. But this man of the Jiuxiao Sect was at a lesser celestial middle level.
Hope began to drain away from Mu Han’s impossibly beautiful face once more. The other female disciples of the Moon Palace Sect lowered their heads slightly as well, expecting nothing much from this man who had just appeared.
“HAHA!” Looking at the man who stepped forth, Li Tianxing burst out in laughter. “Where’s this kid from? Big words coming out from your mouth, eh? So, you wanna play out the hero act now for these beauties?”
These were the type of people Li Tianxing hated the most. He looked like a weak little scholar, and to think that this man would dare to come off acting as though he deserved the attention of the masses.
Now that Lin Fan’s cultivation base was getting higher, his lifeforce also expanded rapidly. As such, his outer appearance was also undergoing changes gradually over time.
His imposing aura was mixed in with this lifeforce. Hence, with just a single raise of his arm, Lin Fan let off a powerful aura so intimidating that most people would choose not to look into his eyes.
“You’re a disciple of Jiuxiao Sect?” Lin Fan asked this pimply face in front of him curiously. He did not dare to look at Li Tianxing’s face directly. Bloody hell! If he were to put Zhang Ergou beside this man, his Zhang Ergou would come off as a handsome prince.
“Hmph, that’s right. You…” Li Tianxing snorted coldly. But before he could finish speaking, Lin Fan started convulsing.
“Hold…hold on. Let me puke it out first. Your face is really bloody ugly like a toad.” Lin Fan dry vomited a few times before pointing his finger at Li Tianxing. “PUI! You’re a disciple of Jiuxiao Sect? What a complete and utter disgrace of Jiuxiao Sect’s reputation!”
The jaws of the Moon Palace Sect disciples dropped apart. They only had a single thought in their minds.
‘Is something wrong with the head of this fella?!? He can’t even tell the severity of the situation right now?’
Mu Han looked at Lin Fan and sighed within her heart. This man before her was simply courting death.
This Li Tianxing here was a lesser celestial middle-level being who was crafty and well versed in using poison. Even a lesser celestial upper level might fall to him if they weren’t being careful!
A look of despair began to fill Mu Han’s face. They had tried their best. But seems like this was the end of Moon Palace Sect…
“Kid, your father here will make you puke…!” Li Tianxing was enraged. To think that someone would dare to be so insolent before him! Even if the heavenly kings were to descend for this man, none of them would be able to protect him from Li Tianxing’s wrath right now!
“Senior Brother Li, hold on…!” Suddenly, a shadow shot out from within the Jiuxiao Sect disciples.
“Senior Brother Lin! Why are you here!” The man who had darted out from the crowd was suave and elegant.
It was him, the most handsome disciple of the entire Jiuxiao Sect: Feng Xiaoling!
But Feng Xiaoling’s expression was a little weird as he shot glances at Lin Fan, warning the latter not to enrage Li Tianxing any further.
“Junior Brother Feng, is this the ways of the Jiuxiao Sect now?” Lin Fan recalled who this person was, but his tone wasn’t kind either. At first, he had thought that this was quite the decent fellow. But to think that he would be out here committing these atrocious sins as well.
At first, the Moon Palace Sect disciples were filled with some regrets for the situation Lin Fan would be in. But these were now looks of anger. So, these guys were together after all.
Feng Xiaoling chuckled awkwardly. He did not know how to reply Lin Fan. This was a long story after all. But the task at hand was to not let Senior Brother Lin continue provoking Li Tianxing.
Even though Feng Xiaoling knew that Senior Brother Lin was strong, he might not be a match for Li Tianxing still.
“Senior Brother Li, this is…” Feng Xiaoling hurried to introduce Lin Fan, hoping to settle this matter just like this. But before he could even continue, he was interrupted by Lin Fan.
“Hmph, Feng Xiaoling, don’t call me Senior Brother Lin! You’ve let me down thoroughly! Ugly toad, let me tell you! Yours Truly is the Peak Master of Glory Sect’s Nameless Peak! Based on seniority, you should be calling me Junior Master! But with your disgusting acts, you’ve got no right to be my Junior Disciple! You’re just a complete and utter disgrace to the names of our sects! And you, Feng Xiaoling! I had seen you as a disciple who had a bright future ahead of him! To think that you would be committing these inhumane and unforgivable acts as well! Disappointed! I’m disappointed to the max!”
With this act, Lin Fan had everyone in the surroundings dumbfounded. All the Jiuxiao Sect disciples looked at Lin Fan with astonishment as well. Of course, they knew about the Genius Sparring! After the elders and seniors came back from the sparring, all of them were singing praises of that particular disciple of Glory Sect: Lin Fan!
Magnanimous, powerful, handsome… That one battle after which he sworn friendship with Xinfeng was spread across the entire Jiuxiao Sect.
The disciples of Moon Palace Sect were stunned as well, wondering how things had come to this.
Mu Han’s face was especially crumpled. Things did not seem to be going the way she had imagined.
She knew of Glory Sect. That was a great sect! If this man was the Peak Master of Nameless Peak of Glory Sect, didn’t that mean that he held an extraordinary position within the sect? Did this mean that there was hope for Moon Palace Sect?
Mu Han then looked at Lin Fan with an urgent gaze.
“Senior Brother Lin, this…” Feng Xiaoling tried explaining.
“Save your explanations. I’m not hearing it.” Lin Fan swiped his robes, apparently infuriated.
Feng Xiaoling was exasperated nearly to tears, ‘Can’t you just let me finish, Senior Brother Lin?’
“Hmph, kid. No matter who you are, I’ll have you die before me today.” Just then, the motionless Li Tianxing sprung towards Lin Fan in madness with a palm strike. That palm strike was filled with a green smoke rumbling and howling within, as if it were possessed by a poisonous spirit.
“Senior Brother Li, no…!” Feng Xiaoling’s face lost all color as he hurried forth to stop Li Tianxing.
“Hmph, step aside.” With a single hand, Lin Fan pulled Feng Xiaoling and tossed him aside. Feng Xiaoling was startled as well as his entire body was swung by this massive unstoppable force, spiraling him out of control.
“S-strong!” That was the only thought on Feng Xiaoling’s mind as he was sent flying.
“You bloody scum of the Jiuxiao Sect, let me take on the duties of disciplining you for the sect today!” Standing where he was, Lin Fan did not move. Wind started to curl and coil around his feet as he raised his right hand.
“Hmph. Poisoned Spirit Burst!” Li Tianxing roared. He needed to let this man understand what was true fear.
“No, Senior Brother Li!” Feng Xiaoling screamed out. He still did not think that Senior Brother Lin could match up this man.
The disciples of Moon Palace Sect exclaimed as well. Their faces changed. They could sense the immense amount of poison seeping out from Li Tianxing’s hand.
All the surrounding flora and grass started to wither.
“Hmph.” Lin Fan could only snort coldly with a look of disdain.
He raised his palm to its max before striking down.
…
Chapter 283: So Bedazzling, So Outstanding.
p>The moment Lin Fan raised his hand, the sky changed color, and the clouds above his arm started to clear. In their places, lightning now rumbled and crackled loudly.
Lin Fan looked up, somewhat stunned. What the heck?
Was this damaged Eternal Arm really so strong that just a simple lift could cause the sky to ripple?!?
The Moon Palace Sect disciples were equally stunned as well. Why were the skies suddenly filled with lightning and thunder?
Even the Jiuxiao Sect disciples were shocked by this sudden change. Why had the bright clear skies suddenly changed so drastically? Furthermore, the skies were frighteningly dark. Those streaks of lightning were thick and massive, as if they were filled with immense energy!
“Hmph. For a shameless disgrace of the sect like you, Yours Truly shall summon down the smiting thunderbolts from the Heavens to discipline you well!” Lin Fan hollered. As he twisted his palm the other way around, the thunderbolts in the skies swam down like dragons and coiled themselves around his palms.
Sizzle sizzle.
The glow was so bedazzling that everyone was captivated by it. Could the phenomenon that was happening the skies right now truly be created by this man alone?
Feng Xiaoling was thoroughly stunned as well. This was way too surreal. How could he be this strong? He didn’t seem to be this strong back at the Genius Sparring!
Could it be that Senior Brother Lin was trying to save face for Jiuxiao Sect back then, hence, he did not strike down Senior Brother Xinfeng intentionally?
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Feng Xiaoling’s could only look at Lin Fan with an ever-growing respect.
To think that Senior Brother Lin had not unleashed his full fighting power back then. If he had done so, Senior Brother Xinfeng would certainly have been defeated thoroughly.
…
Lin Fan did not know of all these conclusions that Feng Xiaoling had jumped to in his mind. But if he knew about it, he would definitely be proud of Feng Xiaoling.
“How could this be…!” Li Tianxing’s face took a sharp change. That palm of Lin Fan possessed too much power. He could clearly feel it, and all he could think was to run away.
Looking at the fear on Li Tianxing’s face, Lin Fan could only laugh coldly.
“Too late…”
BOOOOM!
An impossibly strong palm strike crushed down from the Heavens without any hesitation.
The earth shuddered under this palm strike. Lin Fan had not expected the Eternal Arm to be this strong. Seemed like there’s a lot more he had yet to find out about this arm.
‘Ding…congratulations on defeating lesser celestial middle-level Li Tianxing.’
‘Ding…experience points +30,000,000’
…
‘Trash.’
Lin Fan cursed in his heart. What could this meager amount of experience points do for him!
On the other side, everyone stared at the scene with their jaws agape.
Flicking his robes, Lin Fan came to the side of the Moon Palace Sect disciples.
Mu Han had not expected this man to be this terrifying. She had witnessed with her very own eyes that devastating power that was emitted from that single palm strike.
Furthermore, that lightning and thunderbolts were enough to send one’s heart into a frenzy by just looking at them. To think that this man could contain that very power within his palms.
Even her own Grandmaster may not be able to withstand the blow from that single palm strike!
“Are you alright?” Lin Fan asked calmly without any change in his expression. In the eyes of the Moon Palace Sect disciples, this man was extremely different from all the other men they had met. He didn’t lust after their appearances.
“We’re fine, just that we’ve been paralyzed by that man’s poison and we do not have any idea how to recover from it”’ Mu Han heaved a sigh of relief. By the looks of it, they had gotten out of their present predicament at least.
“Senior Brother Lin, this the Bone Softening Poison that Li Tianxing specializes in. Without the antidote, even a lesser celestial full cultivation being would need two whole hours before he can regain his strength.” Feng Xiaoling ran over from a distance. He had to start explaining things lest Senior Brother Lin continued to misunderstand him.
“Hmph.” Lin Fan shot Feng Xiaoling a cold glance as he pulled out his right hand. A flame danced within his palm as all sorts of medicinal herbs flew within and began to mix together.
“You think that crooked methods as such would daunt someone like me?”
Lin Fan had to continue to strut some skills, bringing the atmosphere to a new high.
Feng Xiaoling stared at what was happening speechless, as though his mind had been glued together. What was that flame dancing in his palms? Could Senior Brother Lin also be an expert in cultivating pills?
This was just unimaginable!
Not only was Senior Brother Lin strong in fighting, these pill cultivating skills seemed to be well-honed as well. This was practically impossible for mere mortals to achieve such level of efficiency!
Even though Li Tianxing knew how to create poison as well, that was just a mere side ability of him learning poison-related skills. It was nothing compared to the art of cultivating pills!
Mu Han could not find any words to say either at this marvel. She had never heard of anyone cultivating pills through a palm’s flame before! Even though she wasn’t well versed in the art of pills cultivation, she had seen her master do it. But it was nowhere as simple as the way this man was doing it right now.
Before every session of pills cultivation, her master had to be well prepared mentally with extreme focus.
In her master’s own words, ‘The best way to ensure good results is when one’s state is at its peak.’
But this man before her had just broken every single knowledge or rule she knew about cultivating pills the traditional way.
And just then, the flame within Lin Fan’s palm gave a slight tremble.
One by one, pearl-like white pills flew out from within the flames.
“Some simple antidote pills I’ve created here. Go consume them, and you guys should be fine.” Closing his palms, the flame disappeared.
Mu Han could only stare at Lin Fan in disbelief. So fast?!? Time had barely even passed from when he started cultivating them!
This…this…!
A fear slowly rose within Mu Han’s heart. This man was way too terrifying!
Everyone was fed the pills one by one and slowly, and the antidote spread, releasing them from the grip of the poison.
“What a powerful pill!” Mu Han muttered to herself under her breath.
Feng Xiaoling was in a daze as well. From the moment Senior Brother Lin started cultivating these pills, he was already awe-inspiring. But this was simply out of the world.
“Senior Brother Lin…” Feng Xiaoling began.
“Hmph. I told you to stop calling me Senior Brother Lin. I don’t have a Junior Brother like you.” Lin Fan flicked his robes. That evil hating look of his was best performed right now.
The Moon Palace Sect disciples were placing an extremely high valuation on Lin Fan as a man.
Righteous.
Evil hating.
Powerful.
Filled with authority in his sect.
Handsome.
Outstanding aura.
And above all that, he was extremely young.
These were basically all the perfect conditions for a Prince Charming!
The female disciples of Moon Palace Sect lowered their heads and blushed deeply. How could they be entertaining such wrong thoughts? But even so, this was probably the last chance for their Big Senior Sister!
Well, Big Senior Sister, hmm…
She was pretty strong.
Beautiful as well.
Humungous b*obs.
Great figure.
And furthermore…furthermore…
All of the female disciples turned their gazes at their big senior sister and gave a knowing grin.
At first, Mu Han did not know why her junior sisters were looking at her. But suddenly, it hit her as her cheeks flushed red as well. She gave them a stern look, warning them to act appropriately and not think astray.
Mu Han stole a peek at that outstanding Lin Fan and shook her head.
A man like him was like the moon in the skies, bright and dazzling. Even though she might feel a small crush towards him right now, one needed to know their place in life and not reach for things they could not ever hope to attain.
Suddenly, Feng Xiaoling hurried to talk.
“Senior Brother Lin, you’ve got to listen to me, please. Fine, I won’t call you Senior Brother, but you’ve got to hear me out. Senior Brother Lin, please hear my explanation. I really need to explain…!’
Feng Xiaoling truly wept this time round. Clutching onto Lin Fan’s robes, his face was filled with tears. Couldn’t he just hear him out once?
“Hurry up.” Lin Fan shrugged his hands.
