The terrifying beast wave was now nowhere to be seen.
All that was left behind were flesh and blood, which dyed the soil red. The smell of blood was all over the place. It was all you could smell.
It was as if hell descended upon Earth.
There was nothing in the world that Lin Fan feared except people who snatches his points.
~Luckily, I have obedient junior brothers. I like these kids who listen to instructions, maybe I should give them a reward.~
Wang Qianzhong’s eyes widened in shock. He lifted his hands that were shaking badly.
“That was a Heaven Star Border beast, the Heaven devouring crocodile python…”
The Heaven devouring crocodile python was a higher-class beast. It couldn’t literally devour heaven as its name suggested, but its name represented how powerful the creature was.
Lin Fan turned around to realize that Wang Qianzhong was staring at him in a daze.
“What’s wrong? You guys look stupid.”
Lin Fan shook his head. ~They are weak mentally. Look how scared they were, how are they going to succeed in the future?~
“Eh?”
A piece of flesh lying on the ground moved slightly. It was as if something was going to break out of it.
Lin Fan flew over immediately. There was a massive bump on the Heaven devouring crocodile python’s flesh, and it was as if something was about to come out.
He stretched out his hand and stuck it through the piece of flesh. Lin Fan felt a hand and pulled it out.
Szz!
A naked person was dragged out of the flesh with small red-colored veins connected to his body.
“What the hell is this?” Lin Fan pondered, rubbing his chin. Suddenly, the content of the Skin Changing Collection came to mind.
It could be applied to not just humans but beasts too.
~So he’s part of the Divine Religion, and he was hiding in the Heaven Star Border beast’s body.~
~But how could this be? It’s bullshit that they can take over a Heaven Star Border beast’s body. All the followers in the Divine Religion’s Eighth District were trash. They would never be able to take over a Heaven Star Border realm beast’s body even if they sacrificed half of them.~
“Ahhh!”
The naked man opened his mouth, screaming. He was toothless, and his muscles were black. He didn’t look like a human.
“Such a poor thing.”
Lin Fan glanced at him and stepped on his head, cracking it to pieces.
Points +900
“Great. So you’re in the Earth Star Border realm, huh?”
Lin Fan finally understood how the beast wave was formed. ~This Divine Religion follower hid inside the Heaven Star Border beast and made use of its power to gather all the beasts with lower cultivation to attack the city. This explains how did the beast wave was formed.~
~ It’s lucky that we discovered this early. If that woman managed to send her revised version of the Skin Changing Collection to the Divine Religion’s upper management, we would be doomed.~
~Beast waves would be formed, and many cities would be lost. It would be difficult for the Magnificent Flame Sect to bear such a loss even if we didn’t just go through a war.~
~Let me check my points.~
Points: 414300
After taking a look at his points, his heart raced, and his hands shook.
“Pui! Haha……Hahahahaha.”
He looked up to the sky and laughed out, ignoring the bystanders. He was unable to contain his joy and gave up in holding in his laughter.
~Four hundred thousand points! The beast wave contributed almost three hundred thousand points.~
He went back to the city wall only to realize that the disciples were still in a daze.
“Let’s go. Time to return.”
Lin Fan didn’t wish to stay here any longer. He was dying to return to the sect and use his points to increase his strength.
“Senior brother…” Wang Qianzhong turned to Lin Fan in a daze.
“Mhmm? What’s wrong?”
Lin Fan asked. ~What does he want?~
“Nothing.” Wang Qianzhong answered after a short pause. He felt that Lin Fan was very mysterious. He would never believe that an Earth Star Border Stage Eight could take down a Heaven Star Border realm beast if he didn’t see it himself.
The mayor rushed up and kneeled on one knee. “Thank you, Lord, for saving Black Mountain city.”
“There’s no need for this. We are all citizens belonging to the Magnificent Flame Sect. How could I stand by and watch such a situation take place? You should be praised for your bravery.” Lin Fan said, taking on the disposition of a peak leader. ~We should stay calm during such situations.~
“Thank you, Lord.” the mayor said, trying to contain his excitement. Not only because the Black mountain city was saved from a disaster, but he felt proud to see that the Magnificent Flame Sect had such powerful disciples.
“Senior brother, how was the beast wave formed? It’s impossible for beasts to come together and attack a city by themselves.” Wang Qianzhong asked. He was suspicious of this beast wave.
“It’s the Divine Religion’s doing, but it’s all fine now. We’ve solved everything.” Lin Fan said, keeping his words short and sweet. ~I must let Master know about this once I return.~
~Even though I’ve stopped the Skin Changing Collection’s revised version from being brought to the Divine Religion temporarily. It’s hard to say that there are no other similar people in the Religion.~
~If anyone else makes a revised version of the Skin Changing Collection again, it would definitely be a disaster.~
“Let’s go back.” Lin Fan said and flew into the sky. He took a glance at the mess outside the city and turned to the mayor. “There are many beasts remains outside. Use them as ingredients for a celebration or something. Don’t waste them.”
The Black Mountain city mayor looked at Lin Fan dumbfoundedly. ~We’ve just had a near-death experience, and now you’re reminding me to eat them?~
~But I’ll listen to whatever this lord says.~
“Yes.”
~If not for my identity, I would have brought the beasts home.~
~Wasting food is a disgrace.~
Wang Qianzhong suddenly realized that rather than protecting their Senior brother Lin, Senior brother Lin was protecting them this entire trip.
Eleven figures flashed and disappeared into the sky.
“Aiya, I have forgotten to ask for the lord’s name!” The mayor slapped himself. It had just come to mind that he had forgotten to ask for Lin Fan’s name.
“Senior brother is called Lin Fan. He’s the peak leader of the Invincible peak.” The disciple who was in charge of guarding the Black mountain city answered. “It’s had only been two years since I left the sect, but so many changes have taken place.”
The tribe leaders initially wanted to invite Lin Fan back to their tribe, but after hearing the disciple speak, they no longer had such thoughts.
Big shot. A real big shot.
The Magnificent Flame Sect’s entrance.
“You guys may go back first. I need to go meet elder Tian Xu.” Lin Fan said, waving his hand.
“Yes, senior brother.”
The inner disciples had no idea why did they went on this trip. They did nothing other than fly. Senior brother Lin settled everything by himself.
As first-class inner disciples who were just one step from reaching the Heaven Star Border realm, it was sad for them not to show off their abilities. This made them feel suffocated.
~It shouldn’t be like this.~
The peak.
“Master, I’m back.” Lin Fan said, coming over excitedly. He wasn’t excited just because of his points but because Tian Xu would finally help him refine his weapons.
“You’re back?”
Tian Xu opened up his eyes. He might look expressionless, but he himself didn’t know why he felt slightly gloomy. His trip to “borrow” ingredients had been successful, but he felt jittery as if he had done something wrong.
It’s been a long time since Tian Xu did something like this, but he was doing it now for his disciple.
“I’m back.” Lin Fan said and sat beside his Master, smiling widely. “Master, there’s something I want to report.”
He told Tian Xu about the beast wave.
Hearing him, Tian Xu’s face fell. “There’s such a matter? Taking over a beast’s body and causing a beast wave? It seems like the Divine Religion has been developing well these ten years. Look at this skillset they have come up with!”
“Master, the Skin Changing Collection is not a high-class skillset. It’s just weird.” Lin Fan said.
“Disciple, it’s not just about that. It might be of a low class and be quite strange, but don’t you feel that the skillset goes against the law of nature?” Tian Xu asked, shaking his head.
“Indeed.” Lin Fan nodded. “After emptying one’s body, they take over another but are still able to make the body function. Furthermore, their auras would also be hidden, making it hard for others to realize.”
“Their current Pope is unlike any other. The Skin Changing Collection is a skill set made only recently. There was no such skillset in the past, so it’s definitely the current Pope’s doing. How dangerous would it be if the revised version that allows their followers to take over the beast’s body is widely disseminated?”
“Disciple, you’ve really helped save the sect from danger.”
“Of course, I’m Lin Fan.” He said, smiling proudly. But he kept his smile soon after. “But Master, we might have stopped the revised version from getting to the management of the Divine Religion for now. But we can’t be sure that no others will develop this skillset and come up with the same result. I’m afraid we can’t fully prevent this. Thus disciple thinks that we should prepare quickly and move to eradicate the Divine Religion as soon as possible.”
“Oh, this is the arm that teacher cut off.”
Lin Fan pulled out the green colored arm immediately. The arm was being coiled with white smoke and was unable to move.”
“As timid as a mouse.” Tian Xu looked at the arm and scolded. “The Pope might be strong, but he’s too timid. He didn’t even dare to fight my projection and chose to escape by sacrificing an arm. If I manage to find him, I’ll wreck his house!”
“Master, don’t say such things. I was nearly killed by this arm.” Lin Fan said, rolling his eyes.
Cough!
“Disciple, don’t be disheartened. Master is powerful now because of my hard work. Master believes that with your talent, you will only be slightly weaker than me when you’re at my age.”
Lin Fan wanted to thank his Master for believing in him, but after a pause, he realized that instead of praising him, Tian Xu seemed to be praising himself.
“Master, let’s not talk about this and refine the weapons first.”
Lin Fan said and pulled out his frying pan and mace.
Tian Xu’s lips twitched. ~So straightforward.~
