Chapter 226: Master, Let me

Lin Fan then turned to Gu Yao, who was impaled on his sword.

Do you think I'll tell you? Gu Yao said coldly. He was unhappy to be defeated before he could even reveal his body.

Because he was not yet at his best state!

I don't need you to tell me anyway. I can just search your soul when I return to the sect. Lin Fan laughed.

Ah! How you dare! I would not let that happen even if I die! Hearing that, Gu Yao's facial expression changed drastically. His already pale face turned even paler now.

Thus he was being suppressed by Lin Fan, who want to prevent him from committing suicide.

The main palace of the Iron Sword Academy.

There was a tunnel hidden under the throne. As soon as they made their way in, they could hear kids wailing.

Lord, all of them are here. Wei Long said, trembling. I did not send all of them. The Divine Religion got some elsewhere. They were planning to move them after the Wei River City children were brought here, but they did not do so as the Lord had exposed their evil deeds. I really did not do anything wrong!

Lin Fan ignored Wei Long. He didn't care if he was speaking the truth or not. He planned to let his Master search his soul when they returned to the sect.

There were cages everywhere, and a child was locked in every one of them. The youngest was only two, and the eldest was eight. There were about a hundred such cages.

Scary.

Just then, a figure that was chained up by metal chains caught his eyes.

It was as if he was held up by magic. He was wrapped up by numerous iron swords. The swords shone brightly as if they would launch an attack as soon as someone tried to invade the prison.

Lord, the iron swords are guarding Tie Lang, Tie Bing's son. When Gu Yao came to wipe the entire Iron Sword Academy out, Tie Bing used a skillset to protect his son. He sealed him inside the swords, and this was something Gu Yao was unable to break. Wei Long explained immediately.

Lin Fan reached out his hand, and a strong force was emitted. Under this force, the numerous swords started to vibrate. They shone brightly as if they were going to attack Lin Fan. But soon, the blades calmed down.

An intent was emitted from the iron sword.

My sonMust live on.

And the intent soon vanished.

Lin Fan frowned. Freezing an intent inside an item was something that only a Heaven Star Border elite would be able to do. Tie Bing was only an Earth Star Border elite, but he could still do this. How shocking was this?

That might be a father's love for his child.

Maybe due to his child's love, Tie Bing was able to break general cultivation rules and make the impossible possible.

Tie Bing could definitely escape from Gu Yao's hand with such strength. But he chose to use it to save his son and let Gu Yao steal his body.

That dude was annoying. But he's stupid too. He could escape, but he decided to stay just for his son. Very stupid. Gu Yao laughed evilly.

You don't understand. Lin Fan released his aura slightly, and sword intent on the Tai Sovereign sword exploded out. It put Gu Yao in such pain that he couldn't help but scream.

At the same time, the iron swords fell. As if there was no more attraction, they fell onto the ground.

There was a six or seven-year-old boy inside. Lin Fan caught him as he fell.

Time to leave.

~These children are a bit troublesome. It's best to bring them back to the sect and let the disciples send them home.~

Outside.

A large group of kids stood there. Fear could still be seen in their eyes. They were obviously badly shocked.

Alright, kids, get on board. Lin Fan said and looked at them. Tie Bing's son, Tie Lang, had woken as well. Unlike the other children, he was more mature.

He was currently hugging his father's skin, crying profusely. He then took out an iron sword and dug a pit to bury the skin. Tie Lang kneeled down and prayed to his father.

Thank you for saving me, Lord. Tie Lang said, kneeling on the ground.

It's your father who saved you, not me. Lin Fan shook his head.

Tie Lang clasped his hands together. He was trembling.

Train hard and live on. That's the only wish your father had for you.

When the children had all boarded, Lin Fan grabbed the steering wheel and headed back to the Magnificent Flame Sect.

Worry washed over Wei Long's face. He had no idea what was waiting for him.

He did not even expect that the Divine Religion's Bishop, Gu Yao, would be no match for this Magnificent Flame Sect disciple.

Luckily, there was enough food on the ship for the children. ~I have no idea how long it will take for us to get to the Magnificent Flame Sect since it's quite some distance from the Iron Sword Academy to the Magnificent Flame Sect.~

A few days later.

The Magnificent Flame Sect.

The disciples guarding the entrance were alarmed when they saw a vast, black silhouette approaching the sect. They immediately went to ring the warning bell.

A ringing bell could be heard all across the sect within no time.

The disciples were all awoken. They were all at a loss.

What's going on?

I don't know. Could it be an invasion?

How could it be? This is the Magnificent Flame Sect. Who would dare to create trouble at the sect when the elders are here?

Lin Fan arrived at the Magnificent Flame Sect's sky while dragging a ship behind him in no time.

Gasps could be heard across the place when the disciples saw this.

Its senior brother Lin!

Senior brother Lin is back.

What is he dragging?

The disciples whispered. Now, Lin Fan was currently the most renowned disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect. The Body tempering pool of the Invincible Peak had benefitted many disciples.

The Invincible peak was a safe place too. Not only was it a place free of bullying cases. It had even turned into a shelter for juniors who were bullied, as nobody dared to create trouble in the invincible peak.

It was not because the members guarding the peak had strong cultivation, but because of Lin Fan's influence. Nobody dared to act presumptuously in the Invincible peak.

On a mountain top.

Tian Xu opened his palm. A thought went through the endless space and landed on his palm. He, who had initially been calm, turned pale immediately.

Miyamoto Kura!

Suddenly, he could feel an aura coming from the Magnificent Flame Sect's gate. A smile appeared on his face as he stepped onto the air immediately.

I'm back. Lin Fan looked around the Magnificent Flame Sect. He was feeling great. ~I feel great to finally return after such a long time.~

He put the ship down carefully and went up to grab Wei Long.

Wei Long was as pale as a sheet of paper. They had finally arrived at the Magnificent Flame Sect, and he would likely be punished soon.

The children alighted from the ship. They were still slightly fearful of their surroundings. Thus they stuck close to the side of the boat, not daring to move away.

When the disciples from the Magnificent Flame Sect saw this, they whispered to each other.

Where are all the children from?

I don't know. But from their faces, they seemed to have been through a lot. Could it be that Senior brother saved them from somewhere?

Yeah. Likely. There had been news all across that children have gone missing. Even patriarch has sent disciples out to search for them.

I never thought that Senior brother Lin was so kind. Look at the kids. They seem to trust Senior brother Lin.

What's that on Senior brother's sword?

It looks like a ball.

To them, the sect was currently at peace. If something was going on in the sect, then it would be Senior brother Yun Xiao who would break through to the Heaven Star Border realm. They had heard from the elders that he would be able to break through very soon.

My disciple, you're still alive! Just then, Tian Xu flew out. His expression was priceless when he saw Lin Fan.

Lin Fan stared at Tian Xu in a daze. Master, can you not? I've just returned, He said helplessly. This is the second time! Do you want me dead that badly?

Lin Fan was speechless. ~He said this to me the last time I returned! And he's repeating this again.~

~ Don't tell me my Master wishes for me to die.~

Pah! Tian Xu spat out his saliva, acting nothing like an elder. Master is foulmouthed. It's great that you're back.

The surrounding disciples watched this scene, jaws open. This was not the elite Elder Tian Xu in their heart.

~ Where's the mighty and serious Elder Tian Xu? He would not act in this manner.~

Realizing his inappropriate behavior, Tian Xu coughed and changed the topic. Disciple, these kids are?

Lin Fan stuck the Tai Sovereign sword on the ground and answered. Master, the Iron Sword Academy has been destroyed by the Divine Religion. The Principal, Tie Bing's son, Tie Lang, is the only survivor. Those children were kidnapped by the Divine Religion and held in the Iron Sword Academy. As for this thing, he said that he's Gu Yao, Bishop of Divine Religion's Eighth District.

And this is the Wei River city's mayor, who colluded with the Divine Religion. He was planning to send the Wei River city's children to the Iron Sword Academy for the Divine Religion to bring away. Still, his plan was busted by your disciple, and the children were sent home.

Hearing him, the expression on the surrounding disciples' faces changed.

Tian Xu frowned. I met the Iron Sword Academy Principal, Tie Bing, ten years ago. He was an outstanding talent that stole from the rich to feed the poor. He established the Iron Sword Academy afterward. It's such a pity that the Divine Religion killed him. Truly a pity.

Tian Xu paused before turning towards Wei Long. As a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple who was appointed as the mayor of a city, you deserve death for colluding with the Divine Religion. I'll execute you personally.

Puke!

Lin Fan moved his hands and killed Wei Long.

Master, you don't need to take action. Let me.

~And I earned a few hundred points for it. Points are truly happiness.~

Seeing this scene, the surrounding disciples were all dazed. ~Senior Brother Lin is so vicious!~ They swallowed.

Lin Fan ignored the dazed expression on his Master's face and continued. Master, this Gu Yao might be the Divine Religion's local leader. Now that I caught him, you can use your skill to soul-search him. If we can find the Divine Religion's Eighth District, we can destroy it entirely.

Yeah. Tian Xu nodded. Good idea. As the Bishop, he must be considered an important person within the Divine Religion. He must know quite a bit. Let me take a look, then.

Instantly, Tian Xu stuck out a finger and placed it on Gu Yao's head.

Gu Yao, who had been struggling, quietened immediately.

Many images appeared out of the blue, and Tian Xu took a look at each of them.

Lin Fan looked at the images too.

The images disappeared very soon, and Gu Yao was left in a daze.

The Divine Religion is truly unforgivable. Let me send you to hell.

Puke!

Lin Fan killed Gu Yao personally. Master, you need not do things yourself. Let me.

Tian Xu.
