Chapter 399: Teacher…

“This kid’s physical strength is incredibly strong. Despite enduring so many attacks from us, he’s still alive. This cultivation method must be a Celestial-tier technique.” The members of Hunyuan Sect became greedy at this moment, desiring to force the young man to reveal this body-forging cultivation method.

The young man was now covered in blood. The hand gripping his sword began to tremble, and blood slowly dripped down, sliding along the blade and falling to the ground.

“Kid, hand over your body-forging technique, and perhaps I’ll grant you a quick death,” a disciple of Hunyuan Sect coldly said to the young man.

“Hmph, a pipe dream,” the young man replied coldly. There was no way he would hand over this technique to them—it had been personally transmitted to them by their master.

Over these past two years, this technique had saved his life countless times.

“Senior Brother…”

At that moment, the young man heard the cries of his junior brothers and sisters and his expression immediately changed. Looking toward the distance, he roared, “Why have you come back again?”

“Senior Brother, how could we let you face this alone? If we must die, we’ll die together,” said the remaining disciples of Chihong Sect.

“Ahhh…” The young man sighed helplessly, then his expression hardened. “Fine, since that’s the case, let’s fight until the very end.”

“Indeed, you all are deeply devoted. Unfortunately, it’s of no use. Today, none of you will leave alive. You can still reconsider handing over this body cultivation method. Perhaps I might spare you,” the leading disciple of Hunyuan Sect said with a cold smirk, clearly very interested in this body-forging technique.

“Impossible…” The young man roared angrily.

“Hmph, seeking death! Attack them!” The Hunyuan disciple’s face turned cold as he waved his sleeve and ordered his men to charge at the Chihong Sect disciples.

The young man and his junior brothers and sisters gathered together, their expressions heavy as they faced the scene before them.

This time, they probably wouldn’t be leaving this place alive.

Although his strength was at the ninth stage of Divine Entry, some of the enemy disciples from the opposing sect were even stronger than him. If not for his physical resilience, he and his companions would likely already be dead.

“Junior brothers and sisters, perhaps today we’ll meet again beneath the nine springs,” the young man said solemnly.

“Senior Brother, we’re not afraid. So what if we die? Let’s kill as many as we can and show them that the disciples of Chihong Sect are not easy prey.”

“Yeah.”

Seeing the enemy disciples rushing toward them ferociously, everyone’s expressions hardened, gripping their weapons even tighter.

At a time like this, saying they weren’t afraid would be a lie. But no matter what, they would make sure the Hunyuan Sect paid dearly.

“Kill!”

Just as everyone was preparing to fight to the death, a sudden bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a thunderous roar.

“What? What’s going on?”

Everyone’s faces darkened, confused about what had just happened. In weather like this, how could there be thunder?

The members of Hunyuan Sect stopped in their tracks, focusing their attention on the sky, unsure of what was happening.

The disciples of Chihong Sect were equally confused, their hearts filled with bewilderment.

Why would there be strange phenomena in the heavens at this moment?

“Senior Brother, look over there!” At that moment, a disciple from Chihong Sect suddenly pointed in a certain direction and shouted in astonishment.

Everyone turned to look and saw ripples suddenly appearing in the empty space not far ahead, spreading outward in all directions.

The ripples continued to expand, growing stronger and stronger, until suddenly the void split open, and a surge of spatial energy burst forth.

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, a figure slowly stepped out from the crack in the void.

He simply floated there silently.

Lin Fan felt the changes around him and slowly opened his eyes, his heart surging with emotion as he gazed at the heavens and earth.

I’m back in the Cang Ling Continent…

This familiar aura, this familiar world—it had been so long since he’d seen it.

What puzzled Lin Fan, however, was why he had appeared here. Could it be that when he crossed over, the location was chosen randomly?

Lin Fan floated there silently, his mind somewhat hazy, unsure of what he should do next.

Should he go searching for the Nine Great Sects?

Or should he head to the Great Yan Empire to kill the Yan Emperor?

Or perhaps go in search of the Celestial Empress?

All these thoughts swirled in Lin Fan’s mind.

“Senior, please help us…”

Just as Lin Fan was deep in thought, a cry for help suddenly pulled him out of his contemplation.

Someone was calling for help—who could it be?

At that moment, within the forest.

Both the disciples of Chihong Sect and Hunyuan Sect looked at the figure in the sky with complete bewilderment.

They didn’t know who this person was or why he had appeared in the sky.

But they had all seen him emerge from the crack in space.

Only experts at the Grand Heaven Stage could possess such an ability.

One of the Chihong Sect disciples snapped out of his daze and began shouting desperately. Although he didn’t know who the figure was, given the current situation, they had no choice but to take this chance.

If that person left immediately, then they truly wouldn’t have any hope left.

“Junior brothers, senior brothers, this is our only chance. If that person is willing to help us, we will definitely survive,” said one of the Chihong Sect disciples.

At these words, the other disciples of Chihong Sect nodded in agreement and began shouting toward the sky.

“Senior, please save us!”

Seeing the remnants of Chihong Sect begging for help from an unknown figure, the Hunyuan Sect disciples’ expressions changed. If this person was the meddling type, then this time things might turn unfavorable for them.

However, considering that they were disciples of Hunyuan Sect, perhaps this person would be wary of their sect’s reputation and leave the area.

“You pests, do you really think you can escape from Hunyuan Sect?” The leading disciple of Hunyuan Sect roared angrily. Of course, this sentence wasn’t directed at the Chihong Sect disciples, but rather meant to be overheard by the mysterious figure.

This is Hunyuan Sect’s business. Think carefully before interfering.

Upon hearing this, the Chihong Sect disciples’ faces darkened. They understood perfectly well what Hunyuan Sect meant. One by one, they looked nervously at the mysterious figure in the sky.

What if this person heard that it was Hunyuan Sect’s business and left immediately? What would they do then?

Just at that moment, to their delight, the mysterious figure floating in the sky actually began slowly approaching them.

Seeing the figure approach, the Hunyuan Sect disciples’ expressions changed dramatically, exchanging glances with each other.

Hearing the cries for help, Lin Fan slowly approached. He had a feeling that someone down there seemed familiar, yet he couldn’t quite recall who it was.

It was a vague memory, blurred by the passage of time.

So Lin Fan decided to go take a look.

As for the words spoken by the other party, Lin Fan heard them and couldn’t help but smile inwardly.

Threatening me? This was actually the first time this had happened.

Hunyuan Sect… How familiar. Wasn’t it one of the Nine Great Sects?

Gradually, Lin Fan calmly walked through the air, then slowly descended, standing at a distance and observing both sides.

The disciples of Chihong Sect looked at Lin Fan with hopeful eyes.

The disciples of Hunyuan Sect, however, watched Lin Fan warily.

At that moment, when the young man from Chihong Sect saw Lin Fan’s face, his entire body trembled violently, as if unable to believe his own eyes.

Slowly, he stepped forward, wanting to get closer for a better look.

“Senior Brother…” The other disciples of Chihong Sect were startled when they saw their senior brother suddenly move forward, unsure of what he intended to do.

But when they saw their senior brother standing before the mysterious figure, an astonishing scene suddenly unfolded before their eyes.

They saw their senior brother actually kneeling before this unusually young mysterious figure.

“Master…”
