Elder Qian’s eyes opened wide in shock as his hands came up to grab the icicle that was protruding out of his chest.
He tried to pull it out, but he found that there was now pain and a numbing cold sensation coming from his hands as well.
He looked at them to find that there were two icicles pierced through his hands, pinning them to his chest.
Elder Qian wasn’t able to do a single thing as his consciousness began to fade.
“How…?” That was all that he was able to muster as his strength faded.
Lin Fan just calmly said with a smile, “I don’t think you’re qualified to teach me a lesson, old man.”
When Elder Qian heard this, he looked up to see the icicles that were floating around Lin Fan.
When he saw this, he didn’t even need to think to know who had just shot those icicles into his chest. But he still wasn’t able to understand just how Lin Fan had done this without him noticing a single thing.
Lin Fan just gave a shrug before releasing his aura.
He had been holding back the entire time, but now there was no need to hold back.
Now, it was time to show them true despair, so he would show his power.
Elder Qian’s eyes opened wide in shock as he stuttered out with his remaining power, “Qi…Qi Condensation Realm!”
The moment that old master and the three masters heard this, they all revealed shocked looks.
Well, they already had shocked looks on their faces, but now their chins completely dropped down when they heard this. They had been shocked when Elder Qian had suddenly been attacked like this, but now they were even more shocked.
The Qi Condensation Realm, that was a legend for the Lin Family.
This was the realm that they had hoped to reach one day and the greatest hope for that was the third master.
But before he could even come close, his son Lin Fan had already reached that realm.
Elder Qian just completely gave up trying to beg for his life and accepted death, but before that, there was something that he had to say.
“Please show me the true power of the Qi Condensation Realm.”
This was the thing that he and his brother, the founder of the Lin Family, had worked so hard to achieve, but neither of them had ever been able to reach that peak.
So at the end of his life, facing this descendant of his brother who had reached that peak, all he could do was ask to be shown that power once.
Lin Fan gave a nod before gathering dark flames in his hand.
With a wave of his hand, the dark flames jumped out and consumed Elder Qian.
Even though he was being burnt alive by the flames, he was laughing.
“This is it, this is the power that I was trying to reach! Why! Why couldn’t I do it!”
Elder Qian’s voice was filled with all the frustration that had been built up over his lifetime.
When there was only his upper half left, he gave Lin Fan one last look and said, “To be crushed or to prosper, the Lin Family is yours.”
Lin Fan simply gave a nod before closing his hand.
When he did, Elder Qian was swallowed by the black flames and turned into ashes.
There wasn’t a single trace of Elder Qian left after he was burnt by the black flames.
When the ashes fell, the old master and the three masters all had looks of shock on their faces. But this time, there were also traces of fear that were in these gazes.
They had never expected Elder Qian to be taken down…
No, it wasn’t just that.
They had never expected Elder Qian to be taken down so easily.
They had seen that Lin Fan had put in no effort at all to take down Elder Qian. It was basically just a single flick of his hand to take him down.
When one had complete faith in something, it was even harder for them when that faith was shattered.
But of course, Lin Fan didn’t give them any time to recover.
With another wave of his hand, the old master and the three masters of the Lin Family found themselves surrounded by the cloaked figures. These were the cloaked figures that had been standing near them to protect them, the ones that hadn’t been controlled by Lin Fan.
Now it turned out that he had control over them after all.
Seeing the look on Lin Fan’s face as he looked at them, they were able to quickly figure out that it was all a play for Lin Fan.
From the very beginning, they had been dancing on the palm of his hand like the fools that they were.
Elder Qian was dead, there was nothing else that their Lin Family could rely on.
Not to mention, this person in front of them was said to be in the Qi Condensation Realm according to Elder Qian.
This was not someone that they could even begin to fight, so they had no choice but to try and find a peaceful solution.
However, there was one thing that they couldn’t understand.
How had Lin Fan suddenly become a Qi Condensation Realm Cultivator?
This was not something that was possible unless one had the full support of a sect or the government that controlled all of the resources in their Mu Empire.
Or unless…he found some kind of secret realm that contained valuable treasures.
It seemed that there were many things that they didn’t know about, but the facts were placed in front of them. It was very simple, Lin Fan had accomplished the dreams of the Lin Family and now there was a chance for them to become even stronger.
Perhaps if they had Lin Fan, they might even be able to reach the level of the royal family one day.
After all, Lin Fan was still young and had his whole life in front of him.
There was no guarantee that the Qi Condensation Realm would be his peak.
After all of these thoughts passed through his mind, the old master of the Lin Family made a decision.
He didn’t know if it was the right decision or not, but there was nothing else to consider right now. This was the only thing that he could do to give the Lin Family a chance to survive.
Taking a deep breath, the old master forced his voice to be calm as he said, “Fan’er, I never thought that you would become so powerful. With this kind of power, you will surely lead the Lin Family to great heights in the future.”
Lin Fan and the three masters all looked at the old master with different expressions.
Lin Fan just looked at him as if he was curious what the old master was up to.
The three masters look at the old master with confused looks that also had a bit of hope in them.
They wanted to believe that their father would still have some kind of solution that would save their lives.
Seeing that Lin Fan seemed interested, the old master became more confident as he said, “Since you have such great potential, I have decided to step down as the head of the Lin Family and give this title to you. I hope that you will help our Lin Family reach new heights.”
The three masters and even Lin Fan were surprised to hear this.
The three masters were naturally surprised since they never thought that the old master would play this move.
Lin Fan was surprised because…he never thought that these people would be this stupid. Nw novel chapters are publshed on Noᴠlꜰire.nt
He had made it clear that he didn’t care about the Lin Family in the first place, he had even killed the greatest protector of the Lin Family without a single trace of hesitation, and he had even said that he would destroy the Lin Family before this.
However, it seemed that these people lived in their own little world without a single care about what others thought.
To them, the Lin Family was the pinnacle and the most important thing in the world.
There was no one in this world that didn’t want control of the Lin Family.
In short, Lin Fan could only call these people fools.
The old master saw that Lin Fan didn’t say anything, so he quickly added, “As the head of the family, you can punish whoever you want.” After saying this, he intentionally turned to look at the third master before continuing, “I’m sure that this kind of revenge will be satisfying.”
A shocked look appeared on the third master’s face.
When he saw his father looking at him like this, he knew that his father was planning to sacrifice him and his wives to Lin Fan.
“That old son of a b*tch!”
That was what the third master thought, but he didn’t dare say it out loud.
Instead, he turned to Lin Fan and was about to beg for his mercy.
Though it hurt his pride to beg from the one that he had looked down on before and had even poisoned, he had to do it.
His life was the most important thing, there was nothing more important than his own life!
But Lin Fan wasn’t in the mood to hear any of this.
With a casual look on his face, Lin Fan said, “There’s no need to beg, I already said that the Lin Family would be wiped out today.”
