The three masters looked like they wanted to say something, but the old master didn’t give them the chance at all as he said, “Please don’t listen to anything that these three b*stards say, don’t let them fool you with their words!”
The three masters looked at the old master like he wasn’t their father anymore.
Though with the way that the old master was slandering them, one might find it hard to believe that he was the father of these three.
With the way that he spoke of them, one might even think that they were complete strangers or even enemies.
Lin Fan just raised his hand to cut the old master off before saying, “Alright, that’s enough of that.”
The moment that he said this, the old master fell silent, though the way that he looked at Lin Fan made it clear what he wanted to say.
The three masters looked at the old master with looks of anger and betrayal, as if they were no longer recognizing the old master as their father. Instead, they looked at him like he was someone who was completely shameless.
Though with the behaviour that he had just demonstrated, that wasn’t strange.
After all, he had just thrown them under the bus without any hesitation.
Seeing that they were just watching him and waiting to see what he said, Lin Fan deliberately paused as if he was teasing them.
The old master and the three masters just silently waited until Lin Fan finally spoke.
“You want a chance to live?”
As soon as they heard this, all of them looked at Lin Fan with shocked looks.
It was also as if they were looking at him as if they were trying to figure out just who he was talking to.
When they saw that he was looking at the old master, the three masters revealed ugly expressions.
The old master on the other hand had a look like he had just won the lottery.
Not giving the three masters any chance to say anything, the old master quickly gave a strong nod as he said, “Yes, yes, I want to live.”
He didn’t even care about what else Lin Fan said, he just wanted to grasp at this straw that would let him live.
Lin Fan raised his hand and gathered a sword of ice in it before tossing it over at the old master. This sword of ice didn’t go all the way and landed on the ground in front of the old master.
The old master didn’t know what this sword of ice was for, so he didn’t dare pick it up right away.
But he could see that Lin Fan seemed to be waiting for him to pick it up, so he had no choice in the end but to pick it up.
The moment that his hand made contact with the sword of ice, he could feel the coldness that was coming from it. This was a chill that seemed to reach all the way to his bones, freezing him to his core.
The old master had even been afraid of being frozen by this sword, but it didn’t seem like it did anything to him.
Other than that first chill that he felt, the sword of ice’s coldness seemed to recede and it became a normal sword in his hand.
Once the old master picked up the sword of ice, Lin Fan turned to the three masters.
He pointed at two of them and said, “Kill them with that sword. Demonstrate your loyalty.”
The moment that the old master heard this, he didn’t hesitate to turn to face the two that had been pointed out. The two that had been pointed out had wanted to run away, but they felt a powerful pressure fall onto them that kept them in place.
The two that Lin Fan had pointed at were the first master and the second master.
The third master surprisingly had been left out of this.
Was it because he was Lin Fan’s father?
Though the third master had been left out of this, it didn’t seem like he had a good feeling about this. The look on his face made it clear that he didn’t like what was happening and he kept looking around for a chance to escape.
After all, he didn’t believe that Lin Fan would let him go after everything that he had said earlier.
It was clear that Lin Fan was planning something…
Since the two masters weren’t able to run, there was nothing that they could do as the old master came right up in front of them with the sword of ice.
The looks in their eyes were pleading with the old master not to do it since they weren’t able to move because of the pressure that was on them, but the old master didn’t seem to care.
The old master just raised the sword of ice in his hand and brought it up in front of these two sons of his.
Whispering a few words, he then slashed down at the two of them.
The last words that he said to them were, “I’m sorry, but please die.”
He didn’t have any regret or hesitation in killing his sons, as long as he was able to live.
That was the kind of person that was the head of the Lin Family.
This also went to show what kind of family the Lin Family was.
When he was done, he dropped the sword of ice down in front of two sons he cut down and turned back to say, “Fan’er, it’s done. You will take the position as the head of the Lin Family now, right?”
This old thing…
He really was shameless.
That was the only thing that Lin Fan could think when he heard this, even if he didn’t show anything on his face.
But he didn’t answer this question.
Instead, Lin Fan just raised his hand in front of him and walked towards the old master.
There was the urge to move back that filled the old master, but he forced himself to stay calm and remain where he was standing.
Since he couldn’t move back, he turned his attention to the thing that was in Lin Fan’s hand.
A black worm, it was a black worm.
The old master just looked at this thing with a very strange look before saying, “Fan’er, what is this?”
Lin Fan didn’t say a thing as he walked past the third master who was frozen on the spot. He didn’t even look at the third master as he walked past him, as if he didn’t even see him.
After he passed, the third master couldn’t help turning to look at the exit of this room.
There was now only Lin Li Zi who had been silently watching all of this standing between him and the door. Not to mention, Lin Fan didn’t put any pressure on him to restrain him and he had his back to him.
This was the best chance that he would get to escape this place…
The third master waited for a few seconds for Lin Fan to move a bit further forward before suddenly turning and running at Lin Li Zi.
He pulled a weapon out of thin air and even slashed down at Lin Li Zi.
She definitely wasn’t able to take this hit, let alone resist the pressure that came from it. After all, there was a large difference in cultivation between the two sides.
The third master was in the Foundation Realm while Lin Li Zi was only in the Qi Gathering Realm.
But before the third master could reach Lin Li Zi, before he could even cover half of the distance between him and Lin Li Zi, there was something that grabbed him. This thing completely wrapped around him and held him in the air.
Well, it wasn’t a single thing that grabbed the third master, it was a bunch of vines that came from Lin Fan’s sleeve.
Lin Fan didn’t even need to turn around for these vines to grab the third master.
But the third master found that these vines weren’t as strong as he thought.
With just a bit of strength, he found that he would be able to rip these vines apart.
It was just that before he could, he felt a pressure fall on him that smashed him into the ground and he found that he wasn’t able to move at all.
Lin Fan didn’t look back at him during this entire time as he stopped in front of the old master.
He raised his hand up for the old master and said, “Eat it.”
When the old master heard this, he couldn’t help looking at Lin Fan with a strange look.
Seeing that the expression on Lin Fan’s face didn’t change, he looked down at the black worm in Lin Fan’s hand.
After a moment of silence, the old master asked, “What is this?”
Lin Fan didn’t bother answering as he held the black worm up for the old master.
The old master didn’t reach out for it and instead asked again, “Fan’er, what is this?”
It seemed that he had completely deluded himself into thinking that he had become Lin Fan’s elder just because of this one simple task.
So Lin Fan reminded him that this wasn’t the case by saying, “Eat it or die. It’s your choice.”
The old master couldn’t help trembling when he heard this before revealing a bitter smile.
Still, he reached out to take this black worm from Lin Fan’s hand and brought it to his mouth.
Before he ate it, Lin Fan added, “Don’t chew, just swallow it like a pill or else.”
The bitter smile on the old master’s face became even stronger, but he still followed Lin Fan’s instructions in the end.
The black worm disappeared down his mouth and down his throat.
