The Strongest System - Chapter 284

Chapter 284: An Honourable Man Like Myself Aint Afraid Of Death

p>”Thank you, Senior Brother. Thank you! Senior Brother!” Feng Xiaoling replied in gratitude. He was doused with happiness right now for the chance that Senior Brother Lin was giving.

“I’ve told you. Don’t call me Senior Brother.” Lin Fan glared at him.

“Right, right…” Feng Xiaoling nodded his head obediently.

“This Li Tianxing here was a man who had committed a heinous crime in the past and was locked in the jail. But for some reason, the Grandmaster suddenly decided to let him out! This man is extremely vicious in his ways, and a junior brother was just murdered brutally because he did not agree with Li Tianxing’s way of treating these Moon Palace Sect disciples. It’s also because he is much stronger than us that the other junior disciples did not dare to voice out after that.” For starters, Feng Xiaoling had to account for all of Li Tianxing’s crimes, so that Lin Fan would not continue to misunderstand them.

“That’s right! Li Tianxing is simply too much! Our Junior Brother was killed because he didn’t want to go along with this!”

“Boohoo! My pitiful Junior Brother had such a tragic death!”

“We could only bear with the anger in our hearts silently!”

“Even taking down Moon Palace Sect was not of our own accord! But we can’t defy the orders from above!”

The Jiuxiao Sect disciples started to lament over their conflicted hearts. Their lives now were not what they had wanted.

“Senior Brother Lin, Jiuxiao Sect has changed. Our Grandmaster has changed as well. In the past, Jiuxiao Sect did declare war against other sects, but those were only against the evil sects …” Feng Xiaoling shook his head and sighed. He did not understand why this was happening as well.

“Hmph, you say that Jiuxiao Sect only fights against evil sects, then why are you guys bent on destroying us? Moon Palace Sect is secluded from worldly affairs!” Mu Han pointed at Feng Xiaoling with a look of fury on her face.

Lin Fan raised his hand, indicating for Mu Han to be silent.

Looking at Lin Fan’s actions, Mu Han could only stand there in a huff. But the look of hatred for these Jiuxiao Sect disciples did not change.

“Why is my brother Xinfeng not here?” Lin Fan asked.

Upon hearing this question, Feng Xiaoling wiped the side of his eyes, “This is a long story, Senior Brother Lin. Back when the Grandmaster gathered the inner sect disciples and laid down the orders to strike at Moon Palace Sect, Senior Brother Xinfeng and some other Senior Elders were adamantly against the idea. The Grandmaster then locked all of them in the name of treason within the jails. With their fates unknown, the rest of us could only obey the orders silently in fear…”

“Senior Brother Lin, no matter what, I, Feng Xiaoling am a genius of the Jiuxiao Sect. But right now, my life within the sect is not even comparable to those evil disciples who were once locked up in jails…” Feng Xiaoling did not carry the same haughty elegance as he used to. Even that fan he was always carrying around to give off an air of suaveness was no longer with him.

“Alright, enough about you. What else happened within the sect?” Lin Fan waved his hands. He wasn’t bothered about Feng Xiaoling’s complaints, but he had a nagging feeling that something big had happened at Jiuxiao Sect.

“Senior Brother Lin, our Grandmaster seemed to have changed as a person entirely. All the nefarious and villainous disciples who he had locked up in jail previously were all released all of a sudden. In fact, he’s letting these guys lead and take charge of us… Senior Brother Lin, you’ve got to understand that all of us are in deep waters ourselves. Look at these junior brothers with me here, which of them are willing to wage war like this on their own? All of us know about the Moon Palace Sect of course. They’re well known to be a peace-loving sect. Why would we do something as atrocious as destroying them if we weren’t bound by these orders…?”

Feng Xiaoling was no fool as well. With this speech, he had effectively explained his predicament while giving the Moon Palace Sect a good a*slick as well, hoping to appease them.

And indeed, the faces of the Moon Palace Sect disciples were much softer than before as they glared at Feng Xiaoling. In fact, Feng Xiaoling was so good looking that one of the female disciples was even secretly crushing on him right now.

Lin Fan was silent and deep in his thoughts.

Those strange acts of Senior Elder Liang Yichu all the way till his death and now the drastic change in character of the Grandmaster…

Could it be…

The more Lin Fan thought about it, the more cryptic it seemed. Bloody hell, why did the whole thing feel to be straight out of a detective novel now? Forget it. Any sort of plot or evil that appeared before Yours Truly would just be vanquished by his astounding powers.

Since he couldn’t make out what was happening, he might as well just make a trip to Jiuxiao Sect. If the Grandmaster had really been possessed to become evil like Liang Yichu, then he’d just slap the Grandmaster to death with his palm strike as well, saving the troubles once and for all.

“Who is the leader for attacking Moon Palace Sect this time round?” Lin Fan asked.

“Senior Brother Lin, the leader of this attack on Moon Palace Sect is an ex-Senior Elder, Li Yuanqi. Li Yuanqi used to be a Senior Elder of the sect. However, for the sake of practicing a dark skill, he massacred 10 mortal cities, resulting in the deaths of billions of innocents. After being discovered by the Grandmaster, he was locked up in the jail. But, he was released recently as well.” Feng Xiaoling’s face turned pale at the mention of Li Yuanqi.

Bloodthirsty. Overbearing. Cruel and horrifying.

Along the way towards the Moon Palace Sect, they passed by a city. Just for the sake of it, he turned the city of tens of millions of people into a living hell, as the residents cried out begging for mercy tragically. The very thought sent shivers down one’s spine.

Lin Fan was speechless right now as well. Could it be that the upper echelons of the entire Jiuxiao Sect were now occupied by these evil men? Those men who were locked in the jails of a sect were normally evil and vicious people, who must be pretty strong as well.

Based on just fighting strength alone, an average Elder would definitely be no match for these merciless evil men locked within.

Listening by the side, Mu Han’s face turned pale at the mention of this name Li Yuanqi as well.

“The Li Yuanqi you’re talking about…that’s the man who destroyed the entire Qizong Country, Chihuang Country, etc. overnight?!? THAT Li Yuanqi?” Mu Han’s face was pale as a sheet.

“That’s right.” Feng Xiaoling nodded.

Shuddering, Mu Han stumbled back a few steps.

“How could that be? According to my master, Li Yuanqi had cultivated this unholy skill of some sort. Therefore, he was much stronger than the average greater celestial full cultivation being! Apparently, he has already collected 12 chains of energy grid lines! If that’s the case, then the Moon Palace Sect might already be…be…” Mu Han did not dare to imagine anymore.

She had firmly believed that the defense formation of the Moon Palace Sect could defend against a greater celestial full cultivation being. But Li Yuanqi was different. That accursed skill made use of the vengeance of mere mortals who were slain. Along with the 12 energy grid lines that he had gathered, this man was far from ordinary…

“Senior Brother Lin, I beg of you! Please save my sect! Please! Please! I’m willing to be your slave, your dog, whatever it takes. I beg of you…!” Mu Han’s face was frantic with worry.

“Aren’t you trying to kill my Senior Brother Lin here, woman? You should be looking for Glory Sect’s help at this juncture! Li Yuanqi is not a man we can deal with and handle! No matter how strong Senior Brother Lin is, he may not be Li Yuanqi’s match either!” Feng Xiaoling was enraged. Was this woman crazy? There was no way he would send Senior Brother Lin to his death knowing how horrifying that Li Yuanqi is.

“Ok.” Lin Fan replied and looked at Feng Xiaoling with a somewhat displeased face.

Feng Xiaoling was stunned. Did he say something wrong?

“Senior Brother Lin, this…”

“I’ll ask you this. Senior Elder Liang Yichu, how many chains of energy grid lines had he collected?” The prospect of a big BOSS waiting to be taken down by him made Lin Fan excited. But he had to do some background checks first.

“10.” Feng Xiaoling, not understanding why Senior Brother Lin would ask such a question.

Lin Fan started chuckling. Bloody hell! Even with 10 chains, Liang Yichu was crushed by Yours Truly with a single palm strike. Seemed like 12 chains shouldn’t be too much of an issue either.

“Hmph. Junior Brother Feng, you need to remember this. How could an honorable man such as myself be afraid of death and the likes? Since the Moon Palace Sect did not engage in worldly affairs, one could say that they’re a righteous sect, just like our very own sects. How can we just sit by idly and watch? Even if we are to die, we need to maintain the sword of justice in this world! If you’re afraid, you can go away. Yours Truly will bring these other disciples there myself!” Lin Fan swept his robes and said righteously.

The expressions of the Moon Palace Sect female disciples changed at this very instant.

They no longer just admired Lin Fan. They were filled with adoration and idolization. If Lin Fan were to beckon with his hands right now, these 18 female disciples present might very well just disrobe and pounce on him immediately.

“Let’s go! Today, Yours Truly will lead the way to vanquish evil!” Lin Fan hollered loudly.

“Senior Brother Lin, why does the chicken on your shoulder look so familiar?” A female disciple suddenly asked in curiosity.

Walking ahead righteously, Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. Recovering, he coughed gently, “Erm, erm, this is a wild chicken I caught on my way here! That’s right! After I exact justice, I will personally barbeque this for you junior sisters to taste!’

Finishing his words, Lin Fan did not give Chicky any chance to cry out and pulled him into his storage immediately.

Whew! He was so nearly exposed!

…

“Senior Brother Feng, I’ve misjudged you. To think that you’re so cowardly and afraid of death. Even though I’m useless, I shall follow Senior Brother Lin along to stop our sect from continuing down this wrong path!”

“Me too…!”

“Senior Brother Feng, this is the last time I shall get to call you Senior Brother Feng. Even if I were to die, I’ll die a glorious death!”

Walking past Feng Xiaoling, all the Jiuxiao Sect disciples could only shake their heads and sighed, as though they were extremely disappointed.

Standing in the lonely breeze, Feng Xiaoling’s stood there helplessly misunderstood.

“I didn’t say I’m not going. I’m just worried about you, Senior Brother Lin!”

“Senior Brother Lin, wait up!!! I’m not afraid of death!!!” Feng Xiaoling chased after the group while shouting.

Chapter 285: What A Marvellous View

p>Just as the name indicated, the Moon Palace Sect was located at a place like the moon itself.

A gigantic crescent moon shaped rock floated in the skies. The rock was tens of thousands of feet wide, and on it, the sect was erected like a heavenly palace on the moon.

The palace stood in the middle of four great waterfalls. Gushing down with torrents, it was loud and majestic to look at. At the base of the waterfalls, mist filled the area with water droplets sprinkling everywhere.

With the Moon Palace Sect right in the midst of all that, it was like a sight of Heaven down on earth, picturesque and beautiful.

At this moment, however, the 4 waterfalls gave off a gentle glow as they flowed and formed a protective bubble over the Moon Palace Sect, protecting it within.

A group of people was gathered where that shimmering protective barrier was set up.

“Hmph… Seems like the Moon Palace Sect has some tricks up their sleeves indeed. This Milky Way Cloud Formation does seem to offer some resistance.” An old man stood within the void, clad in black robes. His face was wrinkled and looked like an evil yaksha. Filled with thick red veins that twisted and contorted on his face, one might not be able to tell that this was a human unless they looked carefully.

This old man was none other than that malicious demon of a man, Li Yuanqi. Even though he did not know why the Grandmaster let him out of jail, he could not be any happier anyways.

The current Grandmaster of Jiuxiao Sect was his Senior Brother after all. Furthermore, both of them were trained by the very same master. Dozens of years ago, for the sake of mastering that dark art, he had laid waste to ten cities, with corpses ending up everywhere. Rivers and mountains were painted red with the blood of the innocents.

Unable to defeat his Senior Brother, he was eventually taken down and sentenced to an eternity in the sect’s jail.

But the moment he saw his Senior Brother who had come to retrieve him, he couldn’t help but chuckle. Seemed like that self-righteous man had eventually descended down the dark path as well.

“Old lady Yue Xuan, stop these feeble attempts, will you? Just give up and surrender. At least, I’ll allow your sect’s disciples to be my slaves for generations to come, so that I can pick up some easy Yin energy from them.” Li Yuanqi laughed maniacally while floating in the void. This maniacal laughter permeated the layers of void down into the Moon Palace Sect.

In the main seats of the formation within the sect, four old ladies sat there cross-legged. Their True Energy vibrated as the Energy Grid Lines channeled from them into the core of the formation.

“And Jiuxiao Sect dares to call themselves a great righteous sect, when they’re doing such atrocities such as destroying the sects of others!” The current Grandmaster of Moon Palace Sect, Old lady Yue Xuan, shouted. Even though her lips did not move, the sound boomed out in everyone’s head.

“HAHA! It’s survival of the fittest after all. I shall not waste any more of my breath on you. We’ll see how long your Milky Way Cloud Formation can last!” With a frenzied laughter, Li Yuanqi flipped his palm in the skies, causing countless ghastly skulls to appear. Howling and opening their black mouths, they started devouring the protective barrier.

Each time the protective barrier trembled, the four old ladies sustaining the core of the formation turned paler.

The strongest fighting strength of the Moon Palace Sect were only these four greater celestial upper levels. This was all they could do now: channeling the Milky Way Cloud Formation to protect the sect for now.

This Milky Way Cloud Formation was a skill passed down from the Founder Ancestor of Moon Palace Sect. Making use of the channeled True Energy from four sources in four directions, a protective bubble could be formed.

These four waterfalls surrounding the sect served as the medium of the formation to channel the True Energy out.

Even though they were only of a greater celestial upper-level cultivation base, they could at least defend against Li Yuanqi’s brutal strikes with their protective bubble. However, if Mu Han did not manage to find any reinforcements by the time they were exhausted, that could very well spell the end of the Moon Palace Sect.

“Old lady Yue Xuan, I know that you’re waiting for reinforcements from that disciple of yours! But what a pity, I’ve already sent my men to get them. They should be dead along the way by now.”

“There are only nine other sects in a radius of ten thousand miles. Do you really think that these nine sects would dare to send anybody up against me?” Li Yuanqi’s voice was grim and foreboding. The moment he opened his mouth to speak, a thick blood mist came out from within.

Evil spirits squirmed and howled within that blood mist, malevolent and horrific. This was the result of Li Yuanqi’s mindless slaughter of innocents.

Some of the Jiuxiao Sect disciples standing behind Li Yuanqi laughed manically as well. The others could only frown, apparently feeling uneasy towards this situation as well.

Thinking back to their teachings back at Jiuxiao Sect, the scene they were witnessing right now was just a downright mockery of everything they had ever known.

But none of them would dare to raise any dissent. After all, they had seen a number of their own brothers devoured whole by Li Yuanqi’s unholy skill, without even a single scrap left of them.

Even though they hated this situation, they were powerless against this man.

“Senior Elder Li, once we break through into their sect, could you gift us those dainty and delicious looking female disciples?” A Jiuxiao Sect disciple who reeked of malice asked thirstily, as he gulped in hunger while looking at those young, petite female disciples.

“Naturally.” Li Yuanqi gave off yet another frenzied laughter. Those eyes of his shone brightly with a blood red hue. He was certain of taking down Moon Palace Sect easily.

They didn’t have much time left.

Those nefarious disciples looked at the females down there with desperate gazes as well. How should they play with these delicious preys later on?

The tension was high within the Moon Palace Sect as well. This was the first time these female disciples were faced with something so horrifying. Some of them were so scared they were sitting down on the ground helplessly while others were just crying out.

Secluded from worldly affairs, naturally they could not grow up without any conflict.

The Founder Ancestor of the Moon Palace Sect had a rather tragic life herself. Suffering from a lifetime of humiliation and bullying, she decided to end her life by committing suicide into a river. However, on that fateful day, a beam of light descended from the skies and entered her body.

From that moment on, the world had lost a suffering and bullied pitiful girl. In her place, the world gained a peerless empress.

Ever since she founded the sect, she offered a path forward for women to join. However, she laid down a single rule as well, which was that the sect must never interfere with the affairs of the world.

“Fellow sisters, do not worry! Big Senior Sister has gone out to look for reinforcements! We’ll definitely tide through these difficult times!” A female disciple stood out from within them.

Even though her eyes were filled with fear as well, she knew that she had to do something to calm the nerves of her fellow sister disciples.

And indeed, her words allowed some of the timid junior sisters to calm down.

“Old lady Yue Xuan, there’s a limit to my patience! I’ll give you ten breaths to decide! Otherwise, I’ll spare nothing within your sect, not even the animals!” Li Yuanqi commanded grimly.

His patience had been worn thin by this Milky Way Cloud Formation, and he was nearing the end of his limits.

The four old ladies looked at one another and nodded their heads. Spitting out a drop of essence blood each, the essence blood fused together and entered the core of the formation.

The barrier grew even brighter and stronger.

However, the four old ladies were now trembling and desperately holding on with their final bit of strength.

“Hmph. How dare you?” Li Yuanqi was enraged. His black robes expanded as a rain of blood descended from the skies.

Twelve Energy Grid Line chains surrounded his body.

“Energy grid of the blood, energy grid of the demons, energy grid of kill…rain blood from the skies!”

A sea of blood covered the skies, packed tightly with vengeful spirits howling and dancing within.

“Suppress…”

BOOM!

Everything shook, as the four mighty waterfalls crumbled, and the protective barrier of the Moon Palace Sect shattered.

“Not good…” The faces of the four old ladies were ghastly. To think that Li Yuanqi was this strong!

“Know your places. I was only playing around with you guys. Do you really think that I have no way of dealing with you guys?” Li Yuanqi laughed out hysterically.

“All of you, go! Everything in the Moon Palace Sect belongs to us!” Li Yuanqi commanded from the skies.

“HAHA! Dainty ladies, here we come!” Some of the Jiuxiao Sect disciples who had been imprisoned laughed, as they turned into streaks of light, dashing into the midst of these helpless sheep.

The female disciples were totally stumped by now. Crying themselves silly, their helpless screams filled the skies as they struggled futilely. But to these demonic disciples, the more these girls struggled, the more turned on they got.

Some of the other Jiuxiao Sect disciples could only stand there and turn their heads away, unable to bear this scene before them.

The evil disciple who rushed ahead targeted a female disciple and laughed heartily. Descending from the skies, his malicious hand reached out.

When the targeted female disciple saw that malevolent face of his, she could only cry in fear, “Senior Sister, save me…!”

The four old ladies of the Moon Palace Sect closed their eyes shut at this sight. They had tried their best, but still, they could not protect the sect.

And just then, a bright and clear voice permeated the skies.

“Sword Will, fill the skies!”

The moment the four old ladies heard this voice, they looked into the distance. These horrified female disciples looked into the distance as well. But when they saw what it was, they were extremely astounded as well.

All they saw in the distance skies was the distortion of the void, as a boundless Sword Will shot over from the edge of the skies.

In the middle of the Sword Will was a man, walking calmly through the skies, hands behind his back. The Sword Wills shot out from beside this man, covering the entire skies.

That was not all. A gigantic three-headed and six- armed demon floated behind this man. Those three faces carried Malevolence, Benevolence, and Anger.

The female disciples could only stare fixedly at this scene.

His long hair dancing in the wind.

That resolute look on his face.

That gentle walk.

That overpowering aura.

These girls were intoxicated. This was the most charming and handsome sight these girls had ever seen.

“Someone like you is unbearable for the Heavens and Earth. You ought to die…”

Chapter 286: Lin Fan’s Life of Dominance

p>”Someone like you is unbearable for the Heavens and Earth. You ought to die…”

The moment the voice boomed out, everything vibrated turbulently. It was as though the Heavens itself was exacting righteous justice down below. The Jiuxiao Sect disciples were horrified, as the all-encompassing Sword Will darted across the skies in an overpowering and imposing manner.

“What’s that!” One of the vile disciples asked. As he looked at the bright spots flying towards him from the other end of the sky, he activated his True Energy to create a barrier.

However, the Earth was soon filled with tragic cries and screams. Multiple Sword Wills bolted out and penetrated the bodies of these evil disciples.

Even if they were using True Energy to protect their bodies, these barriers shattered into glitter dust the moment the Sword Wills touched them.

PSHEWWWWWWWWWWW! PSHEWWWWWWWWWWW!

The view of thousands of swords in the skies was a majestic one, bright and clear.

‘Ding…congratulations on killing lesser celestial lower level being.’

‘Ding…experience points +10,000,000’

‘Ding…congratulations on killing pericelestial full cultivation being.’

‘Ding…experience points +6,000,000.’

‘Ding…congratulations on killing lesser celestial middle-level being.’

‘Ding…experience points +30,000,000’

…

At this moment, Lin Fan was like the Messiah who had arrived on Earth, his image carved deep into everyone’s hearts. These Moon Palace Sect female disciples could not help their hearts from fluttering at this sight.

Someone powerful might be referred to by others as a Senior or something. But for someone this powerful, with such a beauteous entrance to the scene, these girls who had never experienced love in their lives could only think of a single way to describe this unforgettable scene…

Mr. Right descending from the skies.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by as Lin Fan’s hair fluttered gently in the wind.

Bam!

A dull, loud boom suddenly rang out.

Lin Fan had disappeared from the skies. Where he next appeared, he was right in front of these intoxicated girls.

Lin Fan ensured that he floated barely above the ground gently. He then tilted his head to a 45-degree angle, making sure to exude every single bit of manly charisma with his gentle voice.

“With me around, no one from the Heavens and Earth… No, even the 9 Heavens and 10 Earths… No one shall touch the Moon Palace Sect.”

The moment Lin Fan finished his words, these Moon Palace Sect disciples were taken back entirely. Some of them were so shaken by these words that they were wet at a…special place below.

And this was the impact that Lin Fan had wished for.

One by one, the disciples who rushed at the Moon Palace Sect were killed by Lin Fan. Even though their individual experience points might not have been spectacular, they came in huge numbers, and were just what was needed.

Lin Fan garnered that those disciples who hid behind the black-robed man should be those who did not wish to destroy the sect, but could not refuse their orders due to pressure.

Now that Yours Truly was here, releasing them from this dilemma would no longer be a problem.

All four old ladies looked at Lin Fan in shock as well. They had not expected someone this young to possess such devastating powers. With the wave of his hand, he dealt against these overwhelming odds with ease. This was way out of their expectations!

“May I know who you are, sir?” Old lady Yue Xuan was supported on one arm by another disciple. Her tone towards Lin Fan was polite and somewhat respectful as well.

Even though he was young, she could not to judge him by his appearance. After all, his single palm strike was more than enough of a proof of his power.

Lin Fan did not say much and waved his hand, “You don’t have to ask too much. This is just nothing much on my part.”

Old lady Yue Xuan stood there and took in a cold breath of air. What an imposing true man this was! That calm and nonchalant look was as though there was nothing in this world that could faze this man!

And because of this, old lady Yue Xuan was even more curious to know just who this man was.

The female disciples standing behind Lin Fan let out a frightful shudder. They were now thoroughly revering this strong and dependable back view of this man with eyes of adoration.

Elegant yet domineering… This aura infected them like a virus, causing them to lose every last bit of sense within themselves.

Lin Fan puffed up his chest and looked up at the figure in the skies.

“All of you, do you know who I am?” Lin Fan asked calmly, but his voice boomed out in the skies

The Jiuxiao Sect disciples looked over. Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

“That’s Senior Brother Lin…!”

“What Senior Brother Lin?”

“THAT Senior Brother Lin from Glory Sect! You know, that man who won the Genius Sparring! The man whose name was spread between both sects like wildfire!”

“Oh! That peerless genius from Glory Sect! That Senior Brother Lin?!?”

…

The chatters of the Jiuxiao Sect disciples up in the skies grew only louder, as their faces turned into looks of astonishment one by one.

Even though Lin Fan stood there still as a log, his heart was blossoming like a flower in spring. This was it! This feeling of adoration from the masses! This was what he craved!

If a man did not put on much of a show while he was alive on earth, then how different would he be compared to a salted fish?

If one wanted to remain humble and low profile while possessing immense strength, then what was the use of even training up that strength in the first place?

Lin Fan’s life goal was for his name to spread across the entire universe. Upon hearing his great name, people would be hopefully intoxicated in his awesomeness.

All those evildoing weaklings should tremble with fear upon hearing his very name.

Being famous was definitely better than being infamous. Lin Fan wanted to be that very model of the world which everyone would respect and learn from.

Lin Fan looked up into the distant skies and sighed. Indeed, with great power came great responsibilities. Now that the past was gone, what was left for him was to reign over the world and be a true champion of justice.

The Moon Palace Sect female disciples caught wind of the talks of the Jiuxiao Sect disciples as well.

“That’s the strongest genius disciple of Glory Sect?”

“I’ve heard of him, but this is the first time I’m seeing him. Indeed, he’s the prince charming in my heart!”

“What a handsome man! To think that he’s so strong and a disciple of such a great sect as well!”

“He killed those lowlives in a single strike! So cool!”

“He’s standing up against this demonic presence, Li Yuanqi, alone, yet he shows not a single strain of fear! Just that boldness alone is fearsome!” Old lady Yue Xuan was filled with praises as well.

…

Lin Fan stood there silently without any reply. He was waiting for these songs of praises for him to end.

Finally, Lin Fan felt that it was about time. Sweeping away his robes forcefully, he stood forth and raised his head gently, looking up at them once more.

“Hmph, to think that you guys would know who I am. Why are you helping this villainous pursuit? Alright, your Senior Brother here knows that it’s not from your own will. All of you, stand aside while your Senior Brother here cleans up this weakling. After this, I’ll bring all of you back to the sect and together question your Grandmaster Han, Han Yongyi, as to why the hell he would command such heinous orders!”

Upon hearing this, all the Jiuxiao Sect disciples brightened up. Even though they agreed with him, they did not dare to be impertinent in front of this Li Yuanqi.

The Moon Palace Sect disciples were taken aback once more. Such forceful and righteous words!

Glory Sect was a famous sect indeed! To think that their disciples would also have such righteous words and actions!

Old lady Yue Xuan nodded her head in agreement as well. This was how a disciple should be brought up. If only this were a disciple of her Moon Palace Sect.

Even though they did not accept male disciples, he would definitely be a welcome addition to breaking this rule.

Especially that single phrase, ‘cleaning up this weakling’ Old lady Yue Xuan did not think that she would live to hear such bold and courageous words.

“Hmph! Insolent! Even if you’re a genius disciple of Glory Sect, you should call me Junior Master when you see me in terms of seniority! Since you dare to spout such big words, then I will take in your soul as a punishment for that indiscipline and torment you for the rest of your life!” Li Yuanqi was enraged. Suddenly, the Heavens turned red and the sea of blood boiled in the skies once more, threatening to engulf the entire Earth.

“You’re the insolent one!” Lin Fan stepped out, a solemn and angry face. Holding on to his Glory Sect’s token, he hollered.

“Yours Truly is the Master of Glory Sect’s Nameless Peak! Saint Devil Sect’s sixth Grandmaster! Based on seniority, I’m a Senior Elder in Glory Sect, whose place in the sect is at par with the Grandmaster himself! Just a mere little Elder like you? You had better address Yours Truly as your Senior Brother! Bloody insubordination! You had better prostrate down and acknowledge your mistakes, young one!”

And the Heavens and Earth shook…

Chapter 287: Demon Blood Emperor’s Arm

p>Old lady Yue Xuan’s face turned pale as she stood there in shock. The token shone and sparkled brightly, and gave off a mysterious glow.

Glory Sect…Peak Master’s Token…!

Even though the Moon Palace Sect was secluded from the rest of the world, old lady Yue Xuan was familiar with Glory Sect’s Peak Master’s Token nevertheless.

Based on the conversation between the Jiuxiao Sect disciples, she had initially thought that he was just an exceptionally talented genius disciple. But upon hearing his speech, she was unable to contain herself any longer.

Glory Sect’s Peak Master… One of the Senior Elders… And the sixth Grandmaster of Saint Devil Sect to boot… Someone whose position was at par with the Grandmaster of Glory Sect himself. Even though she did not know what Saint Devil Sect was, she knew that it must be far from ordinary.

Old lady Yue Xuan’s previous impression of Lin Fan was one of admiration and acknowledgment. But now, it had turned into one of respect.

If what he said was true. Then his position was even higher than her very own!

After all, Glory Sect was one of the great sects of Dongling Continent. A sect like Moon Palace Sect could never hope to match up against that.

The female disciples did not understand what Lin Fan meant, but by the sounds of it, he was probably pretty significant.

As for the Jiuxiao Sect disciples, all of them were dumbstruck. They did not expect Senior Brother Lin to hold such a substantial position in Glory Sect!

Glory Sect Peak Master? One of the Senior Elders? His very own sect? Sixth Grandmaster of Saint Devil Sect? Any single one of these points could have any individual bowing down to his authority!

“You…!” Li Yuanqi was thoroughly incensed. Those bloodshot eyes of his were filled with disbelief. Someone like this man could be a Senior Elder in Glory Sect? What kind of sick joke was this!

But he knew that the token of Lin Fan was 100% authentic.

Lin Fan flicked his robes gently. He did not want to explain any further. He then lashed out, “You’re a disciple of Jiuxiao Sect. By logic, Yours Truly should not be involving myself in the matters of your sect. However, the actions of your Grandmaster are simply too heart wrenching for me to bear. Alright then, in the name of the Heaven, I hereby sentence you to a death today. This would be considered as revenge for those billions of innocents you had massacred. Don’t say that Yours Truly is bullying you. I shall give you a chance. Strike at Yours Truly first if you may.”

“Bstard! That’s some fcking mouth you’ve got there! Alright, I’ll see what you have up your sleeves then!” Li Yuanqi was going berserk. Raising both hands into the air, the sea of blood in the skies started rumbling and boiling. It started descending from the skies, bent on devouring the Moon Palace Sect whole.

“Not good. That’s the old fogey’s ‘Heaven Devouring Blood World’, nothing to be scoffed at!” Old lady Yue Xuan exclaimed out as her face turned pale as a sheet.

Li Yuanqi’s cultivation state was extremely strong, with 12 energy grid line chains under his control. His powers could only be described as horrifying, an existence that could stand over Dongling Continent pretty imposingly.

In comparison, even though this powerful Lin Fan was evidently exceptional, he did seem pretty ordinary in general. They could not sense even a single trace of energy grid lines around him.

“Hmph, old lady Yue Xuan, are you really pinning your hopes on a man like this to save your pitiful Moon Palace Sect? What a bloody joke! My ‘Heaven Devouring Blood World’ has devoured 10 cities and billions of souls for its completion. Even the Grandmaster of Glory Sect himself may have to use up all his powers just to deal with my ‘Heaven Devouring Blood World’! I’ll see what this unknown lad can do against my godly powers!” Li Yuanqi snorted contemptuously.

He had been out and about in the world for so long, but this was the first time he met someone who dared to act so recklessly and insolently in front of him. If he did not put this kid in his place today, then he would be letting himself down!

The female disciples of Moon Palace Sect were getting nauseous due to the bloody stench, as they glared at the impending gush of the blood sea from the sky in horror.

Countless souls and spirits howled and cried out within the blood sea seemingly demanding the lives of those still living for their innocently lost ones.

“Hmph. Small tricks.” Lin Fan stared at the blood sea and snorted coldly.

“HAHA! Small trick? You’ve seriously got a big mouth, fool! My Heaven Devouring Blood World can consume anything within this world! Pretty soon, you’ll join the rest of them in this cesspool of blood, writhing in pain for eternity and begging for death!” Li Yuanqi’s voice was dark and creepy like a demon.

Everyone who heard his ghastly voice was frightened beyond words. Those Jiuxiao Sect disciples were shivering from head to toe. They had witnessed for themselves Li Yuanqi’s powers. Even though their hearts were with Senior Brother Lin, they were not hopeful.

“Mis-mister Lin! You can’t look down on that Heaven Devouring Blood World!” Old lady Yue Xuan did not know how to address Lin Fan, so she could only use Master as a form of respect, “Sisters, even if it costs our lives, the four of us must assist Mister Lin to defeat this monstrous beast of a human!”

“Yes.” The other three elders of Moon Palace Sect nodded their heads. Their eyes were resolute.

Lin Fan chuckled and swept his robes, “It’s okay, don’t worry. If Yours Truly can’t even handle a small trick as such, how can I be called a Peak Master of Glory Sect?”

“Mister Lin…” Old lady Yue Xuan was in the midst of replying, but her face turned into one of disbelief in the next moment.

“Suppress…” Lin Fan moved his lips gently and raised his right hand.

Suddenly, a powerful aura began to gather. This aura was so strong that it felt as though the entire earth was held firm by it. An image of a palm spanning thousands of feet wide rose from the ground like Rulai’s Palm. Pushing against the layers of void, it shot upwards.

“What the…” Old lady Yue Xuan could barely speak. How could a single palm strike be this forceful!

All those female disciples of the sect could only watch stoned as well. Looking at that dazzling and captivating palm strike, they could not bring their eyes anywhere else.

“Destroy this impure being of a human!”

Boom!

Rushing into the skies, the palm caught all of the blood that was pouring down within it, and its fingers closed.

“How could this…!” A look of disbelief streaked across Li Yuanqi’s malevolent face.

BAM!

Exerting force and squeezing, the palm disintegrated the entire sea of blood instantly.

The skies which were stained red with the all-encompassing blood turned clear once more, as though nothing had ever happened.

“Hmph.” Lin Fan flicked his wrist and snorted coldly. ‘What else have you got, Li Yuanqi? Take ‘em out!”

As Lin Fan’s snort of disdain reached Li Yuanqi’s ears, his face was pale as a sheet. A seed within his body broke instantly. He could not believe that the Heaven Devouring Blood World he had painstakingly built could be this easily destroyed. Not even a single trace of it was left!

“ARGH…!” Li Yuanqi howled into the skies, “You fcking bastard! How dare you destroy my blood world? I’ll take your fcking life!”

BOOM! BOOM!

Everything seemed to be tearing apart as Li Yuanqi exerted an enormous amount of energy. Those veins on his face were ever more pronounced, as though they could burst at any moment.

Lin Fan frowned. He could feel a weird power emanating from Li Yuanqi.

“Fcking asshole. I’ll let you know what’s the true abyss of terror!” Li Yuanqi’s blood was boiling. Slapping his hands into the skies, a stone gate appeared in the skies. This gate was made up of two stone walls, which were blood red.

The gate was thousands and thousands of feet tall. Beyond those shut doors, one could clearly make out the tragic cries and howls of countless vengeful spirits.

“What’s up with this?” Lin Fan’s heart was filled with questions. This was the first time he had seen something like this. Old lady Yue Xuan’s face was frowning as well. The evil aura being emitted from this gate was extremely unbearable.

“Hmph, fcker. You’re the first one who could force me to use my Blood Gates. Today, I’ll claim your life!” Li Yuanqi roared maniacally.

“Tribute…!”

The moment Li Yuanqi howled, twelve chains appeared out of thin air. These twelve chains were Li Yuanqi’s energy grid line chains.

“Energy grid of the blood, tribute!”

“Energy grid of the kill, tribute!”

…

In a moment of frenzy, Li Yuanqi used up four energy grid line chains as tribute. Losing four energy grid line chains in an instant, everyone could feel Li Yuanqi’s cultivation base dropping, as well as his personal power level.

“Demon Blood Emperor, ancient suppression!” Li Yuanqi screamed.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The stone gates slammed open suddenly as Heaven and Earth started to tremble. A horrifying aura started leaking out from the blood gates, as though something terrifying was about to emerge from it.

Old lady Yue Xuan could not help but retreat backward continuously. This aura was simply too frightful.

The moment the gates opened, a gigantic blood-red hand started coming out of the gates.

The five fingers of the hand were thick and huge. Each of them were like a mountain peak of its own.

“To think that sacrificing four of my energy grid lines could only summon the arm of the Demon Blood Emperor. But, it’ll be enough to kill off someone like you!’ Li Yuanqi was breathing heavily from his floating position in the skies. He had not expected to be pushed to this state by this bastard.

Everything was silent, as nobody dared to budge a single inch

Emerging from the stone gates, the blood-red hand was wide enough to cover the skies. Spreading open all five fingers of its, it rushed down towards Lin Fan.

The muscles in the arm tightened rapidly. Visually, it seemed to be filled with too much power.

Lin Fan looked at this descending arm expressionlessly.

As it rocketed down, the layers of void were being ripped apart by it. Compared to this blood arm, Lin Fan and the other people were just like ants.

Extremely tiny…

Chapter 288: What A Bedazzling Palm!

p>”Kill…kill…! Demon Blood Emperor, unleash your demonic presence and crush these little ants entirely!” Li Yuanqi reared his head into the skies and laughed out loudly.

The Blood Gate was a sacred treasure that defied the heavenly will.

This was a treasure that Li Yuanqi had found while exploring an ancient ruin by chance. He was in somewhat of a trance at that time.

This thousand-foot-tall gate stood quietly in the midst of the ruins, and a large number of skeletons were accumulated on both the sides. With the passage of time, these skeletons had worn down so badly that no one could even make out if they were human or not.

At first glance, Li Yuanqi was immediately attracted towards the Blood Gate. He could feel the massive amount of energy pulsating from beyond the gates.

Even though he did not know what the gate contained, he knew that this must be a really powerful thing. The moment he touched the Blood Gate, the way of summoning it appeared within his head immediately.

Tribute.

Sacrificing something was the way to summon this Blood Gate. The greater the tribute, the deadlier the summon would be.

By the looks of it, Li Yuanqi garnered that the place beyond the Blood Gate must be a world beyond as well.

Accompanying the Blood Gate’s knowledge was another skill, a dark and sinister skill. Unable to resist the temptation, Li Yuanqi started cultivating this skill which required the sacrifice of blood.

From that point on, he had descended down the path of darkness entirely, and only sought to enter these gates.

The Demon Blood Emperor was one of the Overlords of this Blood World beneath the gates.

Now that Li Yuanqi was pushed to a corner by Lin Fan, he had no other choice but to sacrifice 4 of his chains as a tribute to call upon the powers of the Blood Demon Emperor for help. But what Li Yuanqi did not expect was the fact that 4 of his energy grid line chains could only summon the Demon Blood Emperor’s arm.

But it would be fine as long as it works…

…

The female disciples of Moon Palace Sect could only cry towards the Heavens. They were utterly frightened beyond their wits at this horrifying scene.

To the rest of the world, these female disciples were like maidens and goddesses. However, anyone who saw them right now would no longer have the same impression as before. Some of them sat on the floor, bawling their eyes out, while others had really messed up hair, with a look of despair on their faces.

Old lady Yue Xuan and the other three elders had utterly given up as well.

They had not expected Li Yuanqi to be able to summon such a terrifying existence. Even though it was just an arm, the look had already ripped away any hope for life from them.

Looking down at her disciples, old lady Yue Xuan gave off a sigh as well. Apparently, Moon Palace Sect would cease to exist from this day forth.

However, when old lady Yue Xuan looked at Mister Lin who floated in the air still without a single bit of fear on his face, she was pretty startled as well.

“Mister Lin, please leave. You should not lose your life here.” Old lady Yue Xuan voiced out.

“The reason why Moon Palace Sect was secluded from the outside world was so that we would not get involved in such affairs. To think that Glory Sect would have a man as righteous as Mister Lin. If we had known earlier, the Moon Palace Sect would have sworn an eternal alliance with Glory Sect for sure. But it’s all too late. The four of us sisters have concluded that using our life as a sacrifice, we shall use our remaining strength to teleport the rest of our disciples out of this place. Please take pity on them and look after them from now on, Mister Lin.”

Glancing at one another, old lady Yue Xuan and the other three elders nodded before kneeling down on the ground begging to Lin Fan.

“Grandmaster…!”

“Elder…!’

“We won’t leave! We will live and die with the sect!”

“That’s right! We’ve been with the Moon Palace Sect since young! The Grandmaster and the Elders have always treated us like their very own daughters! Even if we are to die, we’d want to die by your sides!”

Upon hearing their intent to sacrifice their lives to teleport these disciples away, all the female disciples started bawling out once more.

“How can you guys be like this? Do you truly wish to die here? You’re still young! The Moon Palace Sect must not perish in our hands! You girls are our only hope for the resurrection of the sect in the future!”

“You girls must listen to Mister Lin from now on! From this day forth, treat Mister Lin just as you would to your Grandmaster!” Old lady Yue Xuan scolded.

BOOM!

Everything shook. The four mighty waterfalls were being crushed down by that red hand.

They were on the brink of the sect’s destruction.

Old lady Yue Xuan was feeling more hurried by the second.

“Mister Lin, this old lady begs of you! Please leave…! The Moon Palace Sect is done for! As long as my disciples make it out, I can die without any regrets!”

“Grandmaster, I don’t want to leave you!” The female disciples started gathering around old lady Yue Xuan as they cried.

“We are disciples of the Moon Palace Sect! Even if we were to die, we want to die right here where it’s our home! We never want to leave this place!” One girl wiped away her tears with eyes of determination.

“Mister Lin…” Old lady Yue Xuan could only continue to look at that floating figure. Her voice was getting hoarse.

Why was Mister Lin behaving in this manner? That single palm’s strength was definitely even stronger than the state of a greater celestial full cultivation.

No matter how strong he was, there was no hope of defending against this.

Ving…

A bright light glowed from one of the sect’s structures.

“That is…!” Everyone from the Moon Palace Sect raised their heads in puzzlement.

Suddenly, a warm energy erupted from that same light, as an illusory figure flew up into the skies.

“That’s the Founder Ancestor!” Old lady Yue Xuan screamed with her coarse voice.

“The Founder Ancestor had left a bit of her consciousness behind to protect us…!”

…

The person was translucent, without a physical body, yet everyone could sense the strong power emanating from it.

“You shall not trample on the Moon Palace Sect!” The illusory figure’s voice boomed across the skies as she dashed towards the blood-red hand.

Cheers erupted from the disciples of the Moon Palace Sect, “The Founder Ancestor watches over us!!!”

But this cheer did not sustain for too long.

The moment the figure made contact with the red hand, it dissipated immediately without a single bit of resistance.

“This…how could this be…!” The disciples could not believe their very eyes. Their last bit of hope that was rekindled had extinguished officially.

It was all over.

“Mister Lin…!” Old lady Yue Xuan was screaming with every last bit of voice she had left. There was no time to waste right now!

The female disciples looked at that back view of that godly man floating in the skies with a tinge of reluctance as well.

“Grandmaster, please let Mister Lin leave by himself. We’ll stay here and accompany you!” These girls were no longer afraid of death. At least, they could catch a glimpse of their Mr. Right right before the end of their lives. This was enough for them.

No matter what, they did not want to see their Mr. Right die here for them just like this.

“You girls…!” Tears started flowing down old lady Yue Xuan’s wrinkled and aged face.

…

But just then, everyone’s gazes turned upwards towards the figure in the skies.

“Hmph. Unworldly being, how dare you descend upon Dongling Continent! Yours Truly will ensure that you’ll never find your way back from here!”

Lin Fan hollered as he suddenly rocketed towards the blood red arm.

“MISTER LIN, NO…!” Everyone from Moon Palace Sect screamed together. They knew that Mister Lin had tried his best for them. However, if their Founder Ancestor’s final protection was of no use, there was no way he could hope to fight against this!

“HAHA! Big words indeed. You shall disappear along with the Moon Palace Sect into the recesses of history!” Li Yuanqi burst out laughing.

Lin Fan’s face was unyielding as his figure dashed towards the blood red arm like an ant.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A loud boom exploded into the skies instantaneously.

A large energy current formed around the entire place with Lin Fan as its center. Rippling out in all directions, the void started tearing apart continuously, as everything turned into darkness.

“MISTER LINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!”

“HAHAHA! Dumb ignorant fool! Courting your own death just like a moth that’s attracted to a flame!” Li Yuanqi finally gave off an earnest smile. He had finally killed off this man.

But when light finally returned from the broken void, everyone could no longer speak.

“This is impossible…!”

Lin Fan’s thin, fragile hand propped up the blood red arm, stopping it from moving even a single inch forward.

Everyone was so shocked that their minds blanked out immediately.

Everything was way too surreal…!

Chapter 289: Peerless Demeanor

p>Time and space seemed to have come to a standstill.

In the void, a figure had risen up courageously against this seemingly unstoppable arm. Clashing with it, that ant-like existence held the gargantuan arm midair, freezing it in the middle of the skies.

“This…this is…this is impossible…!” Li Yuanqi’s hair were flying all about as he stammered in a beast like voice. Even a single arm of the Demon Blood Emperor was supposed to be invincible in this world. How could somebody block it just like that? How…!

Even Glory Sect’s Grandmaster should not have the powers to defend against it like this! Just who was this man who could do this?!?

Li Yuanqi’s mind was in a mess, as he was evidently shaken up by this scene before him.

“This…!” Old lady Yue Xuan could not help but gulp at this magnificent sight. At her age, she had been through many things, and was numb to most events by now. But what she saw right before her had her stunned as well.

“Ah…!” Looking at the sight in the skies, one of the female disciples collapsed onto the ground after her trembling legs finally gave way. She sat there, as though she had been crippled.

“This…this…” Another female disciple’s plentiful chest heaved up and down heavily. This pressure was too big for her already big chest, and she could hardly breathe.

“Junior sister, what’s happening to you?” A senior sister within the sect asked hurriedly. But when she realized what her junior sister was stunned about, she was equally dumbstruck.

At this sight, all the female disciples of the Moon Palace Sect were wet once again.

If it were just a small river stream before, it was now a flooding river without a dam. There was nothing to stop the gush right now.

When the girls who had sat down finally stood up, they left patches of wet stains where they were seated. These puddles sparkled and glimmered brightly.

They were not indecent women, but after going through waves after waves of these titillating experiences, they no longer had control over their mental and physical selves.

The Jiuxiao Sect disciples were shaking their heads regrettably as well. This should be the place of Senior Brother Lin’s untimely demise.

But the sight before them had them shaken down to the very core as well.

Senior Brother Lin was strong indeed! Simply way too strong, without any perceptible limits!

That gentle yet firm and overbearing firm palm was holding on strongly against this blood-red arm, piercing through every single last bit of hesitation in their hearts.

From this day forth, they would forever be Senior Brother Lin’s diehard fans.

“Im-impossible…! I refuse to believe this!” Li Yuanqi screamed into the skies. The green veins on his malevolent face started to rupture with thick blood flowing out, seemingly unable to withstand this shock.

“Die…! I WANT YOU TO DIE! TRIBUTE!”

“Energy grid line of the darkness.”

“Energy grid line of the demon.”

…

The energy grid line chains coiling around Li Yuanqi’s body started to break apart one by one, as they flew towards the Blood Gate as well.

Out of his remaining 8 chains, he sacrificed 4 more. No matter how much it cost him, he needed to kill off this bstard…!

The Blood Gate glowed brightly once more. The shadows of the gargantuan Demon Blood Emperor appeared once more in the depths of the Blood World beyond as he started moving out a greater portion of his body into this world.

A series of ghastly aura erupted from within the Blood Gates. Riled by this damning aura, the skies rumbled continuously as well. It looked like doomsday had arrived.

“HAHA! DIE…DIE…!” Li Yuanqi laughed as he spat out a few mouthfuls of fresh blood. His face was pale as a sheet right now.

This way of sacrificing was akin to self-destruction. Those energy grid lines which had taken hundreds of years to accumulate were down to a measly 4 chains right now. And it was all for the sake of taking down this darned bstard.

Lin Fan started frowning. He could feel the blood red arm giving some resistance right now.

“Hmph, impudent!” Lin Fan’s cold snort rang out through the skies.

BAM!

Lin Fan’s right hand began to expand and enlarge as a beam of light erupted from it explosively. This beam of light seemed to be piercing through every single cloud in the skies.

The three-headed and six-armed demon behind Lin Fan howled venomously, as the void around it started tearing apart once more.

“Hmph!”

An ancient aura emerged from Lin Fan’s right hand forcefully and oppressively.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The Heavens shook, and the Earth trembled. Everything was in a state of chaos right now, with the rumbling of thunder and lightning crossing with one another.

Eventually, the clear skies descended into darkness once more.

The only feeling that was left surrounding everyone was that ancient aura.

The Moon Palace Sect disciples, Jiuxiao Sect disciples, Li Yuanqi… everyone present felt subservient towards this aura.

“Just what in the world is this? How is it so overbearingly imposing?” Li Yuanqi’s face was pale with shock.

The Jiuxiao Sect disciples no longer floated within the skies as they landed down on the ground one by one. It felt as though the sky wasn’t a place they could stay within safely anymore. Compared to that overbearing aura, they were just mere ants.

The Moon Palace Sect disciples could only sit on the ground, paralyzed. Every single pair of eyes were fixated towards Lin Fan’s direction. They had submitted completely towards this aura.

They felt like small little boats in the face of a raging tsunami. Facing these rampaging seas before them, the only thing they could do was wait silently as the waves crashed down one after another into their hearts.

The Demon Blood Emperor within the Blood World seemed to be stunned as well. His slowly extending body came to a standstill, as though he had realized the power of this frightening aura as well.

He tried to retract that arm of his which had already descended out upon this world, but he realized that he was petrified still.

“Hmph, trying to run?” A look of contempt flashed through Lin Fan’s eyes. His body frame was like that of a God who had descended upon this world right now, as he floated in the skies proudly.

That peerless grace of his demeanor was evidence of his superiority to every other being in this world.

Lin Fan’s right arm seemed to be filled with boundless suction force, vacuuming the arm of the Demon Blood Emperor still.

“You’ve committed a grave sin by even stepping into the Dongling Continent. Yours Truly shall let you off with just a single mutilated arm. If you dare to try it again, Yours Truly will make sure to burn you down into ashes!” Lin Fan dictated through the skies masterfully once more.

Every single word rang clearly into the ears of the masses, bringing about great shock. The female disciples shuddered as they squeezed their legs tightly shut. They were about to get wet once more…

Imposingly arrogant…

They had lost their direction in life with this speech by Lin Fan.

He was their direction right now.

The Jiuxiao Sect disciples could feel their breathing getting hurried. Senior Brother Lin was seriously way too impressive! Descending upon them with such peerless elegance, coupled with these words that determined one’s life or death… he was just unmatchable!

“Impossible…” Li Yuanqi was utterly stumped. His pride, his arrogance, everything shattered into pieces. To think that the Blood Gate, which he had deemed as a peerless treasure, could fail to take down this guy.

BAM!

Something was happening to the Blood Gate once more. Those stone doors had slammed themselves tightly shut, and the blood red arm was ripped off instantly. He had understood Lin Fan’s orders.

The Blood Demon Emperor had accepted his punishments of amputating his arm.

Flicking his robes, that impossibly strong blood red arm disappeared as Lin Fan threw it into his storage.

Lin Fan’s body moved as he turned his gaze back up into the skies straight at Li Yuanqi.

“Li Yuanqi, acknowledge your wrongs…!” Lin Fan seemed even greater right now. It was like a Senior who was lecturing this Junior who could not escape the palms of his grasp.

“Im-impossible…!” Li Yuanqi screamed and turned into a streak of rainbow, escaping into the distance.

“Hmph… Fool.”

…

Chapter 290: Running Away After An Impressive Act

p>Li Yuanqi was utterly petrified right now. Moon Palace Sect should have been just a fun and easy taking. But he wasn’t in the least bit prepared for the sharp twist the way this had gone.

Just where in the world did that horrifying bstard spout out from?

How could Glory Sect possess such a powerful being in their midst?!?

The Demon Blood Emperor was an existence which dominated over a multitude of other worlds! To think that he would sever one of his arms just because of this man’s threat. This…this…!

Li Yuanqi was extremely panicked right now. Fine, if he could remain alive, there was still a chance for a comeback. The main thing right now was to escape.

“What happened to the sky?”

Li Yuanqi suddenly realized that the clear skies had darkened once more. Was it about to rain?

At the thought of that, he tilted his head back ever so slightly. But in an instant, goosebumps rose all over his body.

‘Isn’t this ruthlessly chasing down on my life…?’

A gigantic hand covered the skies and clouds, towering above him without limits.

“Hmph, you must be dreaming if you think that you can escape Yours Truly’s five finger mountain! Take him down!” Lin Fan snorted coldly. At the same time, he turned around to glance at a Moon Palace Sect disciple. Realizing that these female disciples had long been captivated by his graceful self, Lin Fan was extremely elated as well.

“No…I, Li Yuanqi, am meant to rule over this century! How can I die here?” Li Yuanqi screamed. His sweat poured down like rain as his heart thumped furiously.

PIAK!

The mountains trembled as the land below let off a quake like never before.

‘Ding…congratulations on killing greater celestial full cultivation Li Yuanqi.’

‘Ding…experience points +2,200,000,000’

‘Ding…congratulations on leveling up.’

‘Lesser celestial lower level. (300,000,000/2,000,000,000)’

…

Lin Fan was overjoyed beyond words.

He had fcking finally leveled up!

Old lady Yue Xuan looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, unable to believe her eyes. In that instant, she noticed that the aura of this man seemed to have taken yet another leap, and he became even stronger.

“Grandmaster Yue, my apologies. These young ones are ignorant and have caused your sect some troubles.” Lin Fan turned around and said apologetically with a smile.

“No, no!” Looking at Lin Fan’s reaction, old lady Yue Xuan replied hurriedly. “Mister Lin, sorry for the burden! If you had not stepped out for us, we would have perished!”

Holy sh*t, was he kidding? For someone as distinguished and great as Mister Lin to apologize to a small sect such as theirs was not something they could accept.

Lin Fan chuckled. Sweeping his gaze at the dazed female disciples who had barely just stood up, he smiled and gave off a gentle wink with his bright eyes.

“Ah…!”

With that, the female disciples lost all the strength in their legs and collapsed onto the ground once more.

Gazing at Lin Fan with adoring eyes, they could only admire this manly man.

…

“Mister Lin, that stone gate…” Old lady Yue Xuan pointed towards the Blood Gate in the skies and asked hesitantly.

Lin Fan suddenly remembered the existence of this thing.

The Blood Gate floated silently in the skies. That thousand feet tall gate stood high and mighty, bringing fear to one’s heart with its bloody aura.

“This evil thing has a sinister aura. Leaving it here would just bring about troubles. I’ll take it down and suppress it so that it does not fall into the wrong hands once more.” Lin Fan said righteously. Sweeping his robes, the Blood Gate was kept in his storage.

This Blood Gate did seem pretty interesting. He would examine it properly when he had time.

Looking at Lin Fan take in the Blood Gate with just a wave of his hand, old lady Yue Xuan was extremely shocked once more. What sort of method was he using? This was the first time she had seen something like this.

Even Li Yuanqi had to make efforts to keep it within the void to use it. He couldn’t even take this thing into his body like this.

“Master…” From a distance, Mu Han’s voice rang out.

Mu Han and the others were extremely slow. Unable to catch up with Lin Fan, they had only arrived after everything was over.

Lin Fan felt a little regrettable at this. If only these guys were faster and had caught up earlier, they could have caught sight of his fearsome display earlier on, and he would have impressed yet another group of people.

For someone like Lin Fan who constantly strived for perfection, this was a bit of a flaw. But it was all good. With the experience of this, he would be more mindful to put on better acts in the future.

“Han…!” Looking at her disciples running forth from the distance, old lady Yue Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. As long as her disciples were fine…

“Big Senior Sister and the others are fine…!” Looking at who it was, the other female disciples started cheering excitedly.

“Senior Brother Lin, Li Yuanqi he…” The moment Feng Xiaoling arrived, he asked Lin Fan hurriedly.

Along their way here, they were all in deep worries that Lin Fan was no match for Li Yuanqi. Arriving at such a peaceful scene had them feeling somewhat strange.

Lin Fan flicked his robes casually, “Li Yuanqi has committed too much evil. For his insubordination, I have relieved him of his life in this world.”

“Ah…” The moment Feng Xiaoling heard it, he was at a loss for words. Elder Li Yuanqi was taken down just like that?

Feng Xiaoling’s gaze at Lin Fan had changed entirely at that moment once more.

Just how strong must he be to do something like that…?!?

“Master, it was with great fortune that I and the other junior sisters had bumped into Senior Brother Lin! If not for him, we would have died in their hands!” Mu Han leaned closely to old lady Yue Xuan and complained.

“Just a passing affair.” Lin Fan waved his hand casually in a relaxed matter, as though small matters like these were not worth mentioning at all.

“All of you, come here.” Lin Fan beckoned to all the Jiuxiao Sect disciples.

As though they were guilty, all of them walked over to Lin Fan with their heads bowed low.

“Senior Brother Lin, actually, it’s not their fault. They had no choice in this matter…Please don’t punish them.” Feng Xiaoling tried pleading for his junior brothers.

“Senior Brother Lin, please spare us. We were forced to do this!”

“Boohoo, Senior Brother Lin! We’ve always been on the side of the just. But Li Yuanqi was simply too strong! If we didn’t obey him, we’d be dead!”

…

All the Jiuxiao Sect disciples started crying. If Senior Brother Lin dealt with them the same way as Li Yuanqi, then that would be utterly horrifying.

They had witnessed for themselves that fearsome display of power moments earlier.

“Alright, you’re spared from the death sentence, but you can’t avoid punishment for your actions. I’ll let it go for the fact that you guys had no choice in this matter. However, Moon Palace Sect was still destroyed partially by you guys. All of you will need to take responsibility for the reconstruction of Moon Palace Sect in the future.” Lin Fan waved his hand then turned around to old lady Yue Xuan.

“Grandmaster Yue, I’m afraid that something has happened within the upper echelons of Jiuxiao Sect. I’ll need to go over and take a look personally. Please take these disciples of theirs within your care and let them stay here for the time being.”

“Yes, no problem, Mister Lin. You’re the benefactor of our Moon Palace Sect. A small matter as such shall not be an issue.” Old lady Yue Xuan replied hurriedly.

Old lady Yue Xuan’s impression of Lin Fan was getting better by the second. A man of such quality, such grace, such manners… One could not help but respect him.

“Senior Brother Lin, please take me along if you’re heading back to Jiuxiao Sect.” Feng Xiaoling continued.

“You just stay right here. It’s not something you can handle.” Lin Fan waved his hand.

The Jiuxiao Sect disciples who had witnessed the scene just now nodded their heads in agreement. He was right. The things he would have to handle were not something they could even hope to help with.

“Everyone, due to the urgency of this issue, I’ll take my leave first.” Lin Fan cupped his hands together to the masses and prepared to leave.

“Mister Lin, aren’t you going to take a short rest first? Let us play the part of a good host since you’re here at our sect.” Old lady Yue Xuan continued hurriedly.

Turning his body around, Lin Fan waved with the back of his hand.

“Jiuxiao Sect and Glory Sect have a deep friendship spanning thousands of years. Now that they’ve got trouble, I have to head there immediately. I’ll drop by if I’m free in the future. Farewell.” Without waiting for her reply, Lin Fan dashed off from the ground into the distance.

“Mister…” Old lady Yue Xuan wanted to carry on, but looking at Lin Fan’s figure in the distance, she could only sigh to herself.

“Young and capable… He’s a rare talent that only appears in the world every few thousand years…” She mumbled to herself while looking at the distant skies.

All the female disciples of Moon Palace Sect looked at the direction where Lin Fan left with longing eyes. It was as though their hearts had taken flight along with him.

Looking at the longing looks of her disciples, old lady Yue Xuan shook her head and did not comment much.

A talented young prodigy such as him was the scariest. Every single word and action of his possessed abnormal charisma. She knew why her female disciples were unable to resist him.

After all, even a 100-year-old woman like her could feel her heart fluttering slightly…

…

At this moment, Lin Fan was gleeful beyond words.

Running away after every impressive act, leaving behind nothing but a legacy… What a way to live life!

After Lin Fan had left…

A lone figure stood somewhere quite far from the Moon Palace Sect. By the looks of it, it seemed to be a female.

If Lin Fan were here, he would definitely be astonished.

It was the mysterious girl he had met earlier on, Ye Han.

“The stench of the Blood World…”

Chapter 291: Plentiful Rewards

p>”Just what is going on in Jiuxiao Sect? Why is it tangled up with issues of the Ancient One as well? This doesn’t make any sense.” After leaving the Moon Palace Sect, Lin Fan landed somewhere and started pondering.

Liang Yichu was possessed by the Ancient One. Could it be that Grandmaster Han was possessed as well?

And just what in the world was this Ancient One thinking? If he merely wanted to gather his body parts, he could do so without destroying other sects, couldn’t he? Wouldn’t he save so much more trouble by just searching for it properly?

With Lin Fan’s detective point of view, there must be some great secret behind all this.

But no matter how great the secret was, nothing could possibly escape from the eyes of this great investigator, Lin Fan. He would make sure to uncover the very core of all this.

The splitting of Xuanhuang World into two, the Ancient One’s body parts…

Could there be any links between these two events? Seemed like there was more work to be done before he could find anything out about this.

“Forget it! It’s time to arrange the rewards properly first.”

The rewards this time around seemed to be plentiful. At the same time, he received a huge booster to his cultivation base. Now that he was at a lesser celestial cultivation state, he was much closer to reaching the greater celestial level.

Lin Fan was filled with curiosity regarding the energy grid line chains. However, it was a pity that his cultivation base was too low for him to be able to comprehend them.

Thinking back, he was somewhat envious that Li Yuanqi was able to be feared so badly by others by just obtaining twelve energy grid line chains.

Looking into his storage, Lin Fan caught sight of the blood red arm and a smile formed on his cheek.

‘Heaven and Earth Smelt.’

The moment Lin Fan tossed the arm of the Demon Blood Emperor into the smelt, it began to melt.

There should definitely be another world behind those Blood Gates, which was entirely different from the Xuanhuang World. If he had the chance to get in there in the future, Lin Fan would definitely make a tour out of that place.

Brr… Brr…

The Heaven and Earth Smelt could smelt anything in this world. In the blink of an eye, the Demon Blood Emperor’s arm was smelted completely.

‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining Demon Blood Emperor Essence Blood, 5 drops.’

‘Demon Blood Emperor Essence Blood: Essence Blood which possesses boundless energy.’

Looking at the drops of essence blood floating in the air, a smile curled on Lin Fan’s face as he wondered how its effects would be.

‘Swallow.’

Sitting down cross-legged, Lin Fan swallowed the 5 drops of essence blood and started channeling Blood Sea. This skill was quite special to Lin Fan right now.

That bloody Xue Shen had tried to take shortcuts in cultivating this skill by training it up using human lives. With that, he had descended down the dark path.

Since the essence blood of the Demon Blood Emperor possessed boundless power, Lin Fan wondered how much it could boost up Blood Sea.

Lin Fan’s eventual goal for Blood Sea was to reach the state where he could be reborn with just a single drop of blood. But by the looks of it, that was a really long way to go.

The moment Lin Fan swallowed the essence blood, a bloody aura began spreading out rapidly. His Blood Sea started circulating within his body furiously, absorbing the powerful energy of the essence blood.

Time passed…

After a period of time, Lin Fan finally opened his eyes. They were gleaming as he grinned out.

‘Powerful indeed.’

The Demon Blood Emperor was a superior master being of the other world indeed. If not for the fact that he possessed the Eternal Arm, he would definitely have been crushed by the other party.

Just five mere drops of his essence blood and Blood Sea was already at the sixth level.

Rebirth through appendages…

That bloody Xue Shen had spent dozens of years massacring innocents to merely achieve the 4th level of Blood Sea, shifting of his internal organs. But the 6th level was indeed so much more overpowered than that!

Even though for rebirth through appendages to work, one would need a large amount of lifeforce and True Energy, neither of these were issues for Lin Fan.

Even at this very moment, the Mythical Parasol Tree within his body was taking in True Energy from the surroundings. Furthermore, the lifeforce of the Mythical Parasol Tree was the strongest that Lin Fan had ever encountered. Even the Phoenix back in Fiery Hell could not compare with the boundless amount of lifeforce given off by this thing.

Not bad, not bad…

With this, Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction. Even though he was now pretty powerful with the Eternal Arm, to Lin Fan, the Eternal Arm was still just the body part of another powerful being. If he wanted to grow even stronger, he definitely had to work on his own body.

Lin Fan could not help but ponder on how overpowered his Eternal Immortality would be after he had cultivated it up.

From his storage, Lin Fan took out the Blood Gate as well. Suddenly, the towering gate appeared right before him, piercing through the clouds. Looking at it up close once again affirmed what a frightening sight it was, with the aura of blood rumbling around it continuously.

‘Blood Gate: A gateway between worlds. Born from the Blood World, it possesses boundless mysteries.’

If Li Yuanqi could use tributes as a mean of summoning the Demon Blood Emperor to suppress his enemies, Lin Fan wondered if he could do the same to summon him. Except that he would then whack the shit out of this guy to take his experience points and stuff.

Lin Fan wondered if that would work.

But he discovered that other than being a gateway to the other world, this Blood Gate had no bloody capabilities of its own. It couldn’t even be used with any effects against any enemies on its own. As such, he lost his interest in this thing.

He thought about throwing the Blood Gate into the Heaven and Earth Smelt, but was worried that this useless thing would be smelted into a bunch of even more useless rocks. Then that would be a pity, wouldn’t it?

After all, he was still going to summon the Demon Blood Emperor from the Blood Gate one day for a serious trashing. How could he let that guy off so easily?

If he could convert the entire Demon Blood Emperor into essence blood, wouldn’t his Blood Sea grow indefinitely?

‘Eh…?’

Lin Fan suddenly recalled Liang Yichu’s corpse within his storage.

His brain started tinkering quickly. What would happen if he tossed Liang Yichu’s body into the Heaven and Earth Smelt?

Lin Fan had never considered throwing a person within the smelt before, because his brain wasn’t that crafty and evil.

But now that Liang Yichu was dead, what was the use of keeping his body by his side? It was not like he could take it out in front of Xinfeng, right?

‘F*ck it, forget it.’ Eventually, Lin Fan sighed.

No matter what, Liang Yichu was Xinfeng’s master. It’d be best to leave it to him after all, so that they could provide a proper burial for him. There were many greater celestial full cultivation beings out there. He needed not to purposely seek out this body for purposes like this.

A pity that Li Yuanqi’s body was crushed into dust under the palm without even a single scrap left. If he had this thought earlier, he would have kept Li Yuanqi’s body alive.

After arranging everything, Lin Fan rushed along his way once more. There was still quite a distance to Jiuxiao Sect from here, as it was at the furthest west of the continent.

Jiuxiao Sect, deepest depths of the jail…

A series of clanging sounds of metal chains and a series of cries could be heard.

In the deepest corners of this jail, a few Senior Elders of the sect were chained up, looking extremely terrible. Their cultivation bases had been completely sealed up by these chains that glowed brightly. A sinister light was glowing where the chains were interlinked, as True Energy was also being sucked away bit by bit from these Senior Elders.

In another corner, Xinfeng was chained up spread eagled on all four limbs. His body was pierced by two black metal bones.

“Senior Elders, Senior Brother Xinfeng, Grandmaster had brought those men out. Li Yuanqi has also brought men with him to take down the Moon Palace Sect!” A disciple tasked to keep watch over the jail ran over and reported anxiously.

This disciple wanted to rescue his senior elders and senior brother, but these chains weren’t something he could deal with. A single touch of the chains would be death for him.

“Tragedy of the Jiuxiao Sect!” A Senior Elder lamented painstakingly.

The Grandmaster had turned into another person overnight, someone they did not recognize at all. To think that he would commit such atrocious acts!

“Elder…what should we…do…?” Xinfeng’s hair was all over the place, and his voice was feeble as well.

“Just what in the world is covering our Grandmaster’s eyes from all these truths? These chains are sapping away at our cultivation bases bit by bit. Before long, we would be nothing but dried up corpses and cease to exist within this world.” One of the Senior Elders was heartbroken.

He had not expected the glorious Jiuxiao Sect to reach this state one day.

Xinfeng lowered his head and did not reply. He was clear of the fact that he’d die soon as well.

Another Elder raised his head and looked at Xinfeng, “In these dire times of the sect, we as Senior Elders must not let our deaths be in vain. Even if we were to die, we must reclaim Jiuxiao Sect! Xinfeng, heed my call.”

“Yes, disciple Xinfeng is present.”

“My fellow brothers, now that our bodies are being corroded by this thing, there’s no way for us to fight back. But we mustn’t lose to these nonsenses. Let’s transfer all our life’s cultivation into Xinfeng, and let him be our final fighting chance!”

“Yes. That seems to be the only way out.” The other Senior Elders nodded their heads in agreement.

“Now, brothers. The interlink of these chains is where the True Energy is flowing uncontrollably. Allow me to be the main focus of it’s sucking to buy you guys some time!”

The moment Xinfeng heard this, he exclaimed out, “Elder, no! You guys will die…!”

“Now that Jiuxiao Sect is on the brink of destruction, we mustn’t let the Grandmaster carry on with his follies. Brothers, prepare…!”

…
