Chapter 181 The Hand That Costs a Lot
After the trip with Yun Xiao, Wang Shengkang’s cultivation had risen to Earth Star Border Stage Eight, and he felt that he was the strongest disciple in the sect, excluding the ten peak leaders. Thus, he felt a need to teach disrespectful disciples a lesson that would not cost their lives. Or how am I going to take control of all disciples in the future?
With earth energy surrounding his body, Qin Shan went up against the sword energy forcefully.
Crack!
With just a touch, a ray of light could be seen shooting out. The earth energy surrounding Qin Shan cracked, and he crashed into a stone pillar.
“You do not know where you stand.” Wang Shengkang sneered.
Seeing the scene, the surrounding disciples were flabbergasted. They did not think that Wang Shengkang would be this powerful. He managed to defeat the few of them just by raising his hands twice and taking a step forward.
They couldn’t deny that Yun Xiao Peak was indeed powerful.
Yun Xiao Peak was in the lead, especially in terms of the disciples under the peak leaders. As for the peak leaders themselves, Jun Wutian was once the strongest amongst all ten peak leaders.
Now, the Yun Xiao Peak leader had returned. His cultivation remained unknown for now, but he should have improved or he would not have returned.
Wang Shengkang and Xuan Qing exchange a glance, wearing big smiles on their faces. They laughed out loud when they saw the expressions on the disciples. “Are you guys here to join Invincible Peak? It would be better for you guys to head to Yun Xiao Peak. At least you will be able to pick up knowledge there,” Wang Shengkang said. These disciples are blind. Why are they joining such a weak peak?
At the same time, whispering among the disciples could be heard.
“Doomed. They are definitely doomed.” “Do you think they will be able to survive?”
“They should, since Senior Brother Lin said that he would not kill his fellow sect mates in the sect. But they might wish for death after this.”
“They are still flaunting their power now? Such idiots. If I were them, I would have already gone to beg the Yun Xiao Peak leader to save my life.”
“Too late…”
“What do you mean?”
“Look, Senior Brother Lin is here.”
Seeing that the disciples were whispering to one another with shocked expressions on their faces, Wang Shengkang and Xuan Qing were at a loss.
So what if the support of the Invincible Peak leader is extremely strong? I only taught a few disrespectful disciples a lesson, what can he do to me?
“Senior Brother Lin!” Lu Qiming endured his pain and shouted excitedly at the person who was walking out of the inner palace. Due to him being too excited, he vomited blood.
As a Body Tempering Stage Eight, he deserved respect for daring to go against an Earth Star Border Stage Eight. “How funny,” Lin Fan said, walking out. He was in good mood previously, but not anymore. Instead, he was filled with surprise.
Lin Fan thought hard. What is all this for? Was I still too weak previously? Or is there someone who’s jealous of me? How come there is still somebody here at Invincible Peak to find trouble with me?
They are indeed courageous.
He snapped his fingers, and a few pills flew out of his hand. “Take them to stop your injuries from getting worse.”
The pills were those he got from Jun Wutian, and they had good therapeutic effects.
Wang Shengkang and Xuan Qing looked at the figure standing in front of them. They did not expect that there would be such an outstanding disciple in the sect.
But since Lin Fan was a peak leader, he was of a higher status than them. That does not mean that he can suppress us, but we should be respectful and not allow any issues to catch us.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Lin. We are from Yun Xiao Peak, and we are under Senior Brother Yun Xiao. Since Senior Brother Lin’s disciples were too disrespectful, we have taught them a lesson, I hope that.”
They were proud to speak about Yun Xiao Peak, but before they could finish their words, Lin Fan cut them off.
He walked toward them and stared at Wang Shengkang. “How does it feel?” he asked, expressionless.
“Mm? Senior Brother Lin, what do you mean?” Wang Shengkang asked, confused. “Shut up and answer me.” Lin Fan cut him off once again. “How do you feel?”
Xuan Qing took a step forward unhappily. His cultivation had increased after his trip out of the sect with Yun Xiao, and now he was full of himself. This Invincible Peak is definitely a new peak. If they wish to have a standing among the ten peaks, he needs to make friends with peak leaders like Senior Brother Yun Xiao, who are his seniors. Why should I be afraid of him?
“Senior Brother Lin, we-“
Suddenly, before Xuan Qing could finish his words, a terrifying force could be felt coming for his face. When he realized what was going on, he was sent flying.
He was sent crashing through numerous mountains like a cannon ball, only coming to a stop at the sect’s arena. Xuan Qing then landed on the ground, making a deep pit in the place. He lay motionless in the pit.
Disciples who were passing by the arena suddenly felt the ground shake. They looked around in horror, confused with the situation.
Some disciples stared at the peak far away. They were so shocked that they stood rooted to the ground.
What’s going on? Why did somebody fly over from the peaks that are located far away? And how did he smash into the ground? What in the world is going on? There were braver disciples who went up to the pit to take a look inside, only to realize that there was somebody lying in the pit. Not only that, the person looked as if all his bones were broken. His limbs were all hanging motionlessly.
On Invincible Peak, Lin Fan repeated his question again. “Let me ask you again, how does it feel?”
The disciples who were present at the spot held their breath. They were astonished by the scene. That’s so tyrannical!
Senior Brother Lin sent Xuan Qing flying off with a single slap. Who knows if he’s alive or dead?
Wang Shengkang was currently looking at Lin Fan cautiously. He took a step back in a hurry, but the Invincible Peak leader moved forward, eyes glued onto him.
A bead of sweat rolled down Wang Shengkang’s forehead. He looked extremely terrified.
At the same time, there was another peak made out of a huge amount of dried-up man-sized sticks. The sticks coiled around each other like huge snakes. From afar, the peak looked lifeless.
This was Withered Peak, the home of Elder Gu Mu.
As if he had heard some important news, Yun Xiao currently had a serious expression on his face. “So, Lin Fan must be very powerful if he was able to kill Jun Wutian and defeat both Zhan Hongdi and Wan Zhongtian. And I’m shocked to hear about Jun Wutian’s doings.”
“Yes. I did not expect you to have such a great improvement. You might be able to break through to the Heaven Star Border Realm if you go into seclusion for some period of time,” Gu Mu said with his eyes closed.
But Yun Xiao did not seem to care about his cultivation. “Elder, what do you think of Lin Fan’s power? What’s my chance of winning against him?”
Gu Mu opened his eyes, which shone brightly as if he was trying to see through Yun Xiao. “With your ability, fifty percent.”
Yun Xiao was unable to believe what he just heard. He had worked hard for such a long time and managed to increase his cultivation, yet he only had a fifty percent chance of winning against Lin Fan? I even have confidence that I would be able to defeat Jun Wutian. However, what Elder Gu Mu said next made Yun Xiao speechless.
“And If he makes use of the power from Invincible Peak, he would be able to take you down within no time,” Elder Gu Mu said calmly. “However, if you manage to break through to the Heaven Star Border Realm, the difference between you and him would be like heaven and earth. You would definitely defeat him.”
“Hu!” Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. At least there’s still hope. Suddenly, a thought passed his mind and he let out a gasp. “Oh no.”
“What’s wrong?” Gu Mu asked.
“Wang Shengkang and Xuan Qing made a trip to Invincible Peak. They also improved and are feeling confident in their ability right now. I am afraid that they might have caused trouble since they are unaware of Lin Fan’s information. Elder, Yun Xiao will take my leave first,” Yun Xiao said, hurrying off in the manner of a ray of light.
However, he could hear Gu Mu’s voice in his ears.
“Remember to not get into conflict with him or you will be the next.” Hearing this, Yun Xiao’s body trembled. The ray of light that was originally shining brightly in the sky turned into an ordinary ray of light. The arrogance was now long gone.
He believed in Elder Gu Mu’s words. He was supposed to suppress Jun Wutian after his trip and become the first of the ten peaks, but now, it seemed that the sect was different from his expectation.
At that moment, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but see the scene on Invincible Peak.
“Please be lenient with him.”
On Invincible Peak, Lin Fan was grabbing Wang Shengkang’s head and punching him in his stomach. A strong force passed through his stomach, and Wang Shengkang was in such pain that his organs felt like they were rupturing. He kept vomiting blood as he tried to stay awake.
The surrounding disciples watched the scene quietly as if they had already expected it. However, when they heard the voice, they knew Yun Xiao was here.
All of them were curious about Yun Xiao’s next step. Is he going to fight Senior Brother Lin for the both of them?
“Who are you?” Lin Fan turned to the figure in mid-air.
Yun Xiao landed. The striking light and the arrogant vibe were long gone. He was now like any ordinary person. “I’m Yun Xiao, the peak leader of Yun Xiao Peak. Please let them off. I understand that they deserve death for their actions, but please do spare their lives. After all, they are your sect mates.”
Yun Xiao spoke while looking for Xuan Qing in the meantime. After some time, he felt Xuan Qing from afar. He has been punched so far away?
“Yun Xiao Peak leader.” Lin Fan turned to Yun Xiao, and then back to Wang Shengkang, who was half dead. “I’ve already mentioned that I would not kill any of my sect mates. But since he’s here to find trouble with Invincible Peak, it’s hard to not give him any punishment even if I spare his life. I’ll let him kneel outside Invincible Peak for seven days, then.” Yun Xiao took a glance at Wang Shengkang. “Can I please help him recover from his injuries? As soon as his injuries are healed, I’ll make him kneel in front of Invincible Peak immediately.” “Kneel down in this manner,” Lin Fan said, shaking his head. “He’s not allowed to take any pills. If he survives, I’ll let this pass. If he doesn’t, it’s karma.
“If he takes any pills or is healed, I will kill him no matter where he is.”
Lin Fan said and threw Wang Shengkang down to the foot of the peak.
Yun Xiao did not expect Lin Fan to act in this manner. But Elder Gu Mu’s words continued to ring in his ears. Thus, he snapped his fingers, and a white lotus could be seen coming out of his hand.
There was white fog surrounding the lotus. Snowy scenes could be seen amongst the fog. It was obviously not an ordinary item.
“This is a Three Leaf White Lotus from Snow City. I’m giving it to you as an apology.”
Lin Fan raised his hands and grabbed the Three Leaf White Lotus. Using his earth energy, he crushed it within no time.
“You…” Yun Xiao said, dumbfounded. He did not expect that there would be anyone who would destroy a Three Leaf White Lotus.
“Remember this; if you ever come to Invincible Peak to find trouble and injure my disciples, this won’t be enough for an apology. Don’t you dare try me. “I’ll destroy Yun Xiao Peak.”
Lin Fan put his hands behind his back and left, treating Yun Xiao like air.
After Lu Qiming and the rest took their pills, they recovered from their injuries. They took a glance at Yun Xiao and continued to work on taking in disciples. As for the surrounding disciples, they were extremely excited. To them, Senior Brother Lin was awesome.
But they felt pity too. The Three Leaf White Lotus seemed like a precious treasure to them, but Senior Brother Lin just destroyed it in such a manner, not even giving Yun Xiao face. He was really dope.
Yun Xiao left the place expressionlessly.
As for Wang Shengkang who was at the foot of the peak, he remained kneeled while vomiting blood constantly. It was hard to tell if he would make it past seven days.
In the inner palace, Lin Fan sighed and took a look at his right hand. I only pinched it slightly and a precious treasure is gone! This hand certainly costs a lot right now!
