Once the flames and dust subsided, the people who had been blown out of the room slowly came back onto their feet.
Some of them were still weak from the explosion and there were some that recovered faster, so they came to the entrance of the hall to see what was inside.
All they saw was the terrifying scene of Lin Fan being surrounded by heads and headless corpses with blood still dripping off his hand. At the edges of the room, there were people who had been knocked out by the explosion when they slammed into the wall.
The most terrifying thing was that Lord Feng had also been decapitated.
There were many people who wanted to run the moment they saw Lord Feng's corpse on the ground. This was a Platinum Realm Expert who had been killed, this wasn't a joke!
Once the royal Feng Family heard of this, their wrath would rain down upon all those involved in this incident. The less they knew of this and the less they were involved, the better for them.
The only thing that kept them from leaving was that they didn't know what Lin Fan would do.
This was someone who had killed a Platinum Realm Expert, he definitely had some backing behind him that gave him this courage!
They were in a situation where they couldn't offend either side, so no one dared to act rashly.
Boss Gao came over and said in a slightly fearful voice, "Brother Lin, are you sure about doing all this?"
Lin Fan turned over and said, "It's fine, it's better to do this than to show any weakness. It's better to just kill people than to let them plot against you."
Boss Gao couldn't help saying, "But if you kill him, doesn't that mean making an enemy of the entire Feng Family?"
Lin Fan asked back, "What made you think they wouldn't have been my enemy anyway? Would they have left me alone if I had spared that Lord Feng?"
Boss Gao didn't know what to say.
Lin Fan saw his stunned expression and continued, "You should remember for the future, a dead enemy is a safe enemy. Any enemy you leave alive might one day hurt you in the future."
This left a deep impression on Boss Gao.
Lin Fan was right in the end, even if he had left Lord Feng alive, the Feng Family would never let this disgrace go and would have done anything to get back at Lin Fan. But by taking care of Lord Feng, he had effectively cut down the Feng Family's power, while also giving himself some time to gather his strength since the Feng Family wouldn't rush into a fight with an unknown enemy.
With how relaxed Lin Fan seemed when he was taking care of Lord Feng, once these rumours spread, they would certainly believe that Lin Fan was still hiding some cards. Moreover, there was still the unknown master that was behind Lin Fan.
Without any more information than what they had now, they definitely wouldn't rashly attack him.
Then Lin Fan changed the topic, "So what do you and your dad plan on doing now?"
Boss Gao knit his brows at this, "With everything that's happened, the Gao Family's power will have definitely dropped with all the experts we lost."
Lin Fan said, "I wouldn't be so sure of that."
Boss Gao looked at him with a confused look, "Brother Lin, what do you mean by that?"
Lin Fan just gave a knowing smile and didn't say anything as Boss Gao's dad came over.
Gao Zhuang had gone around checking the various corpses and knocked out people to get a sense of the damage to the Gao Family, but he had found that there weren't as many casualties as he had expected.
The elders that had been killed were mainly elders that had firmly been on great elder Gao's side, the ones that were more hesitant and only joined when forced had been spared.
The only exception to this was that the second and fourth elder had also been spared.
Gao Zhuang looked at Lin Fan with a strange look as he said, "Little friend Lin, how did you know who was who?"
Lin Fan just said, "Those that were determined held nothing back and those that were hesitant held back. For now, your Gao Family would still need them, otherwise you'll be in a dangerous position if your forces drop too low."
Gao Zhuang turned to the second and fourth elder and said, "Then what do we do about them?"
Lin Fan also turned to look at them and the two elders trembled when Lin Fan's cold gaze fell onto them, "Well, for now, you can just keep them as elders."
Gao Zhuang was shocked, "But they were firmly on great elder Gao's side. If we leave them, they will definitely betray our family and go to the Feng Family."
Lin Fan revealed a sly smile, "I wouldn't be so sure about that. Do you remember how I controlled them?"
Gao Zhuang was confused, "I do, but what does that have to do with this?"
Lin Fan's smile became even wider, "Well that's one of my secret techniques and it involves a spiritual sense seed that's embedded into the people I'm controlling. As long as that seed is inside that person, I can kill them whenever I want."
The eyes of the two elders were completely filled with fear. They quickly gathered their spiritual senses to search their bodies, but they couldn't find a trace of this seed at all.
They doubtfully turned back to Lin Fan, but all they saw was his cold gaze on them.
Lin Fan slowly said, "You wouldn't be thinking that I was bluffing, right?"
As soon as his voice fell, they lost control of their bodies once again. All the two elders could do was stare right into Lin Fan's cold eyes in fear.
Once Lin Fan turned away, they regained control of their bodies, but what Lin Fan said next filled them with fear again.
Lin Fan took out a token that he gave to Gao Zhuang, "This token has my spiritual sense attached to it. As long as you shatter it, it'll instantly shatter the seeds inside those two and kill them."
Of course, this was all a big bluff, Brainy's abilities couldn't be that strong.
Brainy had been forced to activate its parasite seed early, so it had lost most of its functions over the two elders. He couldn't kill them with the parasite seed at all, but what they didn't know didn't kill them.
Lin Fan was also planning on putting new parasite seeds in them once he left because it would be better to have fully developed seeds instead of these half developed seeds.
Once that was taken care of, Lin Fan had something he was curious about, "I understand what Lord Feng didn't take out a pet since he said he was lacking one right now, but why didn't the elders of the Gao Family take out pets to increase the power of their array?"
Gao Zhuang explained, "The main cultivation technique of our Gao Family is a bit unique. Instead of relying on pets like most other experts, we cultivate our bodies and rarely focus on training our pets. But of course pets that are stronger than their owner like what little Fu Shuai has now are exceptions."
Lin Fan was still confused, "But even if they have powerful bodies, their pets shouldn't be that much weaker."
Gao Zhuang said, "Little Fu Shuai is an exception still, he was someone who was born with a talent for training pets which he inherited from his mother. As for the rest of us in the Gao Family, we really have no talent at all. The strongest pet that I have is actually only in the Bronze Realm."
Lin Fan really was shocked.
This was a family that went against the norm of this world and trained their bodies instead of their pets, yet they had still become a noble family.
It really was strange, Lin Fan couldn't help wondering if there was something special about the Gao Family's cultivation technique.
But he wouldn't feel greedy for it since the Gao Family were now his allies.
Now that they had taken care of everything, Lin Fan said, "Head Gao, there is something that I actually need your help with…"
