Yunxiao peak was enveloped by white clouds. It was a prominent peak in the past, but not anymore, as the Invincible peak stole its spotlight.
To the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, the difference between the two peaks was huge.
Even if many different herbs on Yunxiao peak, it was still incomparable to the Invincible peak.
Suddenly, a disciple ran over in a hurry, stopping in front of two men. He greeted them respectfully.
“Reporting to Senior brother Shengkang and Xuan Qing, the Invincible peak leader, Lin Fan has finally returned to the sect.”
Wang Shengkang and Xuan Qing both froze.
They would never forget that fateful day. It was a humiliation they would always remember. They couldn’t even take revenge.
“Senior brothers, after Lin Fan’s return, he gave out hundreds of mystic and human clas pills. All the inner disciples present received five mystic-class pills,”
“And all the outer disciples received ten human-class pills.”
The disciple said. He was both envious and regretful at the same time as he wasn’t around when Lin Fan gave out the pills. Thus he didn’t get them.
“It seems like he’s trying to buy the disciples over and is obviously aiming to become the Patriarch.”
“Anything else?” He then turned to the disciple.
“The Invincible peak leader also said that he will hold a competition in one month, and the prizes are very valuable. The entire sect is talking about this currently…” the disciple answered respectfully.
After the disciple told them everything that had taken place. Wang Shengkang and Xuan Qing were taken aback. They couldn’t even believe their ears.
The other peak leaders might not even have the ability to give out such prizes. Even if they could, it would cost them everything.
“You may leave.”
After the disciple left, Wang Shengkang turned towards Xuan Qing, lowering his voice. “He’s doing this to gain the support of all the disciples in the sect. The prize given out in the competition is terrifying.
“So what? Senior brother Yun Xiao is about to break through to the Heaven Star Border realm. Once he does, he will possess Heaven’s energy. By then, Lin Fan will be no match for him.”
Yun Xiao sneered and looked over at the top of the peak, where Yun Xiao went into seclusion.
Currently, a dense aura surrounded the top of the peak. The aura was so strong that even Xuan Qing could feel how powerful it was. They could also feel the Heaven and earth energy contained in the aura. It was as if that something scary was about to appear.
They placed all their hopes on Yun Xiao. As long as Yun Xiao broke through to the Heaven Star Border, there would be a change in the peak leaders’ ranking.
The Invincible peak.
Lu Qiming and the rest stood there excitedly. Behind them stood the disciples they took in. The disciples wanted to see their peak leader too.
“Elder brother.” Qin Shan ran over while holding a rabbit in his hands.
Lin Fan raised his hands to pat Qin Shan’s head, but he couldn’t reach. Thus Qin Shan squatted down obediently to let his brother pat his head.
“Junior brother Lu, sorry for the trouble.” Lin Fan looked down and gasped. ~So much has changed. When I left, there was only Lu Qiming and my other friends. But it’s so crowded now.”
The Invincible peak, which was once cold had become livelier.
“Since Senior Brother Lin gave me with such an important task, I’ll make the Invincible peak great even in exchange for my life.” Lu Qiming said, bowing.
“Junior brothers, since you’ve joined, I hope that you can take the Invincible peak as your second home. There’s only one rule in the Invincible peak, which is that you are not allowed to backstab your fellow disciples.”
“Yes, Senior Brother.” The disciples shouted loudly in unison.
“From today onwards, you will not have to worry or feel powerless if you’re bullied because I’ll always support you. I swear to the heavens that as long as I’m here, I’ll never let you all be bullied unfairly.” Lin Fan placed his hands behind him. A roar of thunder could be heard.
Boom!
The oath had been established.
Feeling the oath’s power, the Invincible peak disciples were all stupefied. Back then, peak leaders made such promises too, but it all ended up as empty promises, and none dared to swear to make such an oath.
They had not expected that Senior brother Lin who was currently standing at the entrance, would swear to the heavens right in front of them.
Hearing him, Wang Fu, who stood within the crowd, felt extremely enthusiastic. He thought that he had made the right choice to join the Invincible peak.
“I will join the Invincible peak and am willing to die for it!” He shouted.
His voice was heard by the whole crowd.
Lin Fan looked over and laughed. “What’s your name?” He said, pointing at him.
“Senior brother, I am Wang Fu.” Wang Fu bowed excitedly.
“Mhmm. Not bad. Cultivate hard. You will be the future of the Invincible peak.” Lin Fan nodded. He liked hot-blooded, loyal and upright people.
“Yes.” Wang Fu clenched his fists. Having Lin Fan think highly of him, he was greatly motivated. He also felt a need to work hard so as to not betray Lin Fan’s expectations.
Within half a month, Wang Fu had increased his cultivation from Earth Star Border Stage Six to the Earth Star Border Stage Nine. He felt that he had improved at a decent speed and was doing well.
“Disciple, come over.” Just then, Lin Fan heard his Master’s voice ringing in his ears.
“Junior brother Lin, pack the pills in the Main palace up to support the disciple’s cultivation. As for disciples who contribute to the Invincible Peak, we must reward them greatly too.”
As soon as he finished his words, he turned into a ray of light and flew towards his Master’s peak. Lin Fan knew that Tian Xu has called him over for matters regarding the Divine Religion’s Eighth District.
As the Bishop of the Divine Religion’s Eighth District, Gu Yao would definitely have a vast amount of information. Now that his Master had searched Gu Yao’s soul, he would definitely discover crucial information.
~I would like to learn that from Master if I can. Time to discuss with him.~
Lu Qiming turned to the crowd and waved. “Come over. Your mission today is to pack the pills.”
“Senior brother Lu, there are so many of us. Are all of us needed to pack pills?” A disciple asked. He joined the Invincible peak not only because he wanted to make use of the Body tempering pool but because he wanted to look for backing too. Hearing Lin Fan’s words previously, he had a greater sense of belonging.
Getting a senior brother who treated you sincerely was even harder than cultivating.
Lin Fan had sworn to the heavens that no matter who, as long as he was part of the Invincible peak, he would step out and not let them suffer.
Which other of the nine peak leaders dared to make such an oath?
“How many of you?” Lu Qiming smiled and shook his head. He turned and pushed the door of the Main palace open slightly. An intense herbal smell greeted them, and a few pill dragons could be seen in the air, roaring. “Are there too many helpers now?” Lin Fan said and turned to the disciples.
Plop!
Plop!
All the disciples collapsed, stupefied. The thuds rang across the Invincible peak.
“Alright, come over and pack the pills. Ten per bottle, don’t make a mistake.” Lu Qiming shook his head. He didn’t know when he would finish packing. ~Maybe in three days?~
Tian Xu’s Peak.
“Master.” Lin Fan came to Tian Xu and sat at his side. “Is this about the Divine Religion? I’m looking forward to hearing it.”
Tian Xu nodded. “The Divine Religion’s Eighth District is located on the Black mountain in the Black mountain city that’s over a hundred miles away. The reason why I called you over is that I want you to lead disciples over to the Eighth District and destroy it.”
“Master, be at ease. I love such missions.” Lin Fan laughed. ~The Divine Religion’s Eighth District is huge. There will definitely be a tremendous amount of treasure. Not only are there free points, but also wealth. Where else can I get such gifts?”
“Disciple, I know what you’re thinking.” Tian Xu put extended his hand. A gold-colored crystal could be seen floating in his palm.
“Master, this is?” He could feel the powerful energy contained in the crystal.
“This crystal contains my energy. If you come across any undefeatable enemies, crush it. But Master hopes that you will never have to use it.” Tian Xu said.
Lin Fan nodded. ~It seems like Master is aware of my situation, and he fears that something might happen to me. Thus he gave me the crystal.~
~People don’t have infinite energy. One definitely had to pay a price to store his energy externally.~
“Master, I’ll go now. I can eliminate the branch on my own.” Lin Fan said confidently. ~Even if I come across elites, I can just crush the golden crystal and kill them with my Master’s power.~
“Bring other disciples along.” Tian Xu said.
“Ah?” Lin Fan frowned slightly. He didn’t like to fight with others, as those were all points! If his enemies were killed by other disciples, he would lose those points!
“My dear disciple, how can you fight alone?” Tian Xu shook his head. “Lead some disciples and use this chance to establish your position in front of them. It’s time to let the Divine Religion understand that our sect has zero-tolerance towards them, and they will be killed on sight.”
~Waht f****** position is there for me to establish.~
~ There’s nothing I can say, but is there a need for this? I’m basically their idol now.~
“Erm…..Master, I have something that I need to discuss with you.” Lin Fan said, letting out an evil laugh inside. He would have done it himself if he knew how to refine weapons.
“What?” Tian Xu’s expression changed. He knew that when his disciple said that he needed something, he was definitely up to no good.
Lin Fan took out the frying pan and the mace. “Master, look at this, I feel that my weapons are not suitable for me anymore; they are a bit too fragile. Look at this treasure. It’s so useful. It would be good if you could make them into something like this.”
Lin Fan raised his hand, and Heaven’s fate river drawing floated up.
Tian Xu looked at the treasure weirdly. “This is the Heaven’s fate river drawing. Where did you get it?”
“Nowhere. I picked it up.” Lin Fan said calmly.
“Say that again.” Tian Xu said.
“I got it from an ant.” Lin Fan sighed.
“Disciple, do less of this in the future.” Tian Xu sighed.
“Why, Master? Isn’t wealth something that we should aim for?” Lin Fan asked curiously. He did not expect to hear this from his teacher.
“You will be addicted, and it will be hard to kill this habit. Something bad will happen someday.”
At this moment, Tian Xu looked up. The scene of him being ganged up on and beaten up flooded into his mind. He had made too many enemies, and he only managed to solve his troubles after putting in a lot of effort.
Lin Fan suddenly felt that his Master had many stories.
