It took a bit before they came back to their senses, but Lin Fan's words definitely played a large part in that.
The supporters divided in half, with half of them going to contact the various geniuses while the other half helped preserve the body of the young master and the beast corpses that Lin Fan brought.
When they were taking care of the young master's body, one of Zhang Liang's disciples turned to Lin Fan and said, "Owner Lin, the wounds on his body…"
Lin Fan nodded and took out the young master's sword that he had stored as he said, "It's as you think."
The disciple then said, "Then, you're calling this meeting…"
Lin Fan shook his head, "I have no idea right now, but we need to at least do something."
The disciple still had his doubts, but seeing that Lin Fan didn't want to talk, he closed his mouth and continued with his work.
It took a while before all the geniuses were gathered, but eventually they all came together after half an hour. It seemed like the Monster Trainer Union did have some weight, being able to make these proud geniuses follow their rules, coming to a meeting.
Once everyone was gathered, they all looked impatiently as they waited for the person who called the meeting to start.
With everyone gathered, Lin Fan had a clear view of the eight...well, now seven geniuses.
Other than the long haired genius who was dead, the red headed one, and the girl with short hair, there were five others currently gathered.
There was a girl who had twin braids and square framed glasses which made her look like the perfect representation of a librarian, one person who was completely covered in a cloak, a pair of fraternal boy girl twins who both had white hair, and a girl who was in a lolita dress.
When Lin Fan came out, they all turned to look at him with curious gazes. Since they had all gathered and no one was starting, they figured it was either the long haired young master or Lin Fan who called the meeting.
Once Lin Fan was done looking around, he nodded to the supporters on the side who rolled out the gurney.
When everyone saw who was on the gurney, they all knit their brows as they realized that something was off.
The long haired young master named Yu Wang was lying there with bandages all over him, looking like he was in a coma, but they could tell from the lack of vitals from him that he was dead.
They all turned to look at Lin Fan with vigilant looks, but Lin Fan just gave a shrug and said, "Don't look at me, I was just the one who found him. Do any of you know what happened?"
All of them were experts in their own right, so they naturally had also developed their spiritual energy. Sending their spiritual energy over the long haired young master, they could naturally see just what kind of wounds he had all over him.
They all looked over each other vigilantly before turning back to Lin Fan. During this time, none of them said a word and just waited to see what the others would do. Lin Fan did the exact same thing since he was waiting for clues to find who the murderer was.
Finally someone couldn't take it. It was the fiery red haired young master from before who had been fighting at camp.
This young master was named Yan Huo and like his name, he really was a fired up person. The first thing Yan Huo did was point his finger right at Lin Fan and say, "Aren't you the most suspicious one of us all? You say you found his body, but how do we know what you really did?"
Lin Fan turned to him and said, "You can believe what you want, but you won't be safe if you're wrong and the murderer strikes again."
Yan Huo just gave a cold snort as he said, "What if I take him down right now, wouldn't I be safe?"
Lin Fan revealed a smile and said, "You think that you can?"
A vein popped up on Yan Huo's forehead as his face turned a bit red and he angrily shouted, "You think that I can't? Do you know who I am?!"
Lin Fan calmly said, "You're the person who couldn't even beat Yu Wang, do you really think that you're the one who can kill the person who killed him?"
Yan Huo stuttered for a bit since he knew that Lin Fan was right, but he wasn't willing to give up, "You really think I was fighting seriously then? If I fought seriously, I would be able to take down Yu Wang with only a single finger."
Lin Fan just smiled as he looked at Yan Huo, not saying a word, but it was clear what he was thinking.
Yan Huo's face turned even more red as he was completely filled with rage. If he could become any angrier, there would have been smoke that would have bursted from his ears already.
Yan Huo didn't waste any more words at all as he pulled out his fire red claymore from his storage and immediately flames surrounded it.
Lin Fan was surprised to see this because he could tell that those flames weren't normal, these were flames made with the power of the flame law, which meant that this sword was at least a Platinum Realm Artifact. But thinking about it, it did make sense since all of these geniuses were already in the Gold Realm, which meant that the family behind them had to be at least royals.
Even if Lin Fan was surprised to see the sword in Yan Huo's hand, he didn't panic since this sword was of no threat to him at all. This sword was only a Platinum Realm Artifact while Lin Fan was a genuine Platinum Realm Expert. While the sword did have the ability to harm a normal Platinum Realm Expert, Lin Fan was the exception with his unique physique.
Yan Huo's rage completely took him over as he swung his claymore covered in flames at Lin Fan, but no one was worried since they had already seen Lin Fan's strength. Lin Fan was a man who could even punch Gold Realm beasts away, there was nothing to worry about here.
As the blade approached Lin Fan, he still had the same calm smile on his face. He watched as the blade approached and when it came near, he raised his hand up slightly in front of the blade.
The blade continued to fall down until it came into contact with Lin Fan's hand, but the moment it did, it wouldn't move any further down. The second contact was made with Lin Fan's hand, it was like there was a giant breeze that had blown away all the flames as they all disappeared.
Yan Huo's eyes were opened wide in shock as he just stared at Lin Fan looking relaxed as he held his weapon. If he looked a bit closer, he would have seen the faint golden outline that was around Lin Fan's hand.
Then when Yan Huo came back from his shock, he tried to pull his claymore back, but it was also too late. Of course Lin Fan had expected this, so when the claymore landed in his hand, he had already tightened his grip around it.
Yan Huo was just stuck there, unable to move back or forward as he looked at Lin Fan in shock. He didn't know how he felt, but he did feel a chill that came from looking at Lin Fan's calm smile.
Yan Huo was about to shout at Lin Fan to let go, but then his legs suddenly gave out under him as Lin Fan swept them with a kick. He fell directly onto his butt and when he tried to get back up, he found that he was unable to do so. The moment he fell onto his butt, there was a mountain like pressure that fell onto him, making him unable to even move.
When everyone saw this, they were confused about what was going on. They all sent their spiritual senses forward to investigate and found that there was a pressure around Yan Huo that completely crushed their spiritual sense.
When they discovered this, everyone couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with strange looks. It seemed like they really couldn't judge this book by its cover.
Based on the pressure they felt from Lin Fan, they could tell that he was already in the Platinum Realm. If he really wanted to kill them, he wouldn't have that much problem doing it with his cultivation. But to call them all back here, that would just make it harder for him since they could work together to resist him and escape.
If he really was the murderer, what reason would he have to gather them together?
At first, there were people that had suspected that Lin Fan was the murderer since he was the only stranger among them, but now they weren't so sure.
Just who was the one who killed Yu Wang?
After suppressing Yan Huo for a bit, Lin Fan finally took back his aura and released the sword. The moment he was free, Yan Huo jumped back several meters and was fully on guard towards Lin Fan as he said, "What do you want?"
Lin Fan just calmly said, "Are you ready to talk now?"
