At this moment, Lin Fan held his breath and closely observed the unfolding situation, ready to seize the opportunity and strike without hesitation.
The male Fengtian Rhinoceros was attempting to conquer the female, which meant subduing her completely. However, the Fengtian Rhinoceros whose fate Lin Fan had altered fought more fiercely with each passing moment. How could he allow the other to succeed? After all, he himself was a male Fengtian Rhinoceros. What was going on with his own brother?
The battle grew increasingly intense. Both Fengtian Rhinoceroses were now heavily wounded. The one whose fate Lin Fan had reversed was now being firmly suppressed by the other, as if it wouldn’t be long before it experienced the most painful fate imaginable.
Lin Fan continued to wait, silently praying, “Hurry up!” He waited patiently until the most critical moment arrived, ready to seize both Fengtian Rhinoceroses at once.
Just at that moment, the female Fengtian Rhinoceros let out a pained cry, its hind legs buckled, and it was mounted by the male.
Although the male Fengtian Rhinoceros was already severely injured, it remained highly excited, fighting with even greater vigor, its massive body trembling as if entering a state of transcendence.
“Aoooo…”
At that very instant, the male Fengtian Rhinoceros threw its head back and let out a furious roar. Its previously fierce expression suddenly displayed a look of human-like satisfaction.
The opportunity had arrived.
Lin Fan had no time to dwell on such details. Remaining invisible, he moved like the wind, his legendary brick weapon suddenly appearing in his hand as he struck both Fengtian Rhinoceroses on their heads.
At this moment, Lin Fan held his breath, intently watching the situation before him, ready to strike without hesitation as soon as the opportunity arose.
The male Skyfire Rhino sought to dominate the female, which could only be achieved by subduing her. However, the Skyfire Rhino, whose fate Lin Fan had altered, was fighting more fiercely than ever. How could he allow the other to succeed? After all, he was a male Skyfire Rhino himself. What was going on with his comrade?
The battle grew increasingly intense, with both Skyfire Rhinos bearing numerous wounds. The one whose fate Lin Fan had changed was now being heavily suppressed by the other, as if it wouldn’t be long before it suffered the most excruciating pain in the world.
Lin Fan waited, praying silently, “Hurry up!” He was biding his time, waiting for the most critical moment to decisively take down both Skyfire Rhinos.
Just then, the female Skyfire Rhino let out a piercing scream, her hind legs buckling as the male Skyfire Rhino mounted her.
Though the male Skyfire Rhino was covered in wounds, it was still exhilarated, fighting with increasing ferocity. Its massive body trembled, reaching a state of ecstasy.
“Roar…”
At that instant, the male Skyfire Rhino let out a deafening roar, its once ferocious face suddenly revealing a human-like expression of pleasure.
The opportunity had come.
Lin Fan, in his invisible state, moved like the wind. His divine brick appeared in his hand, and with a swift motion, he struck both Skyfire Rhinos on their heads.
The male Skyfire Rhino, still lost in its ecstasy, was knocked unconscious by Lin Fan before it could react.
Seeing both Skyfire Rhinos lying motionless, Lin Fan allowed a faint smile to cross his lips. It had worked.
Invisibility, fate alteration, and the divine brick—all three were indispensable.
Lin Fan drew his Zishuang Sword and swiftly ended the lives of both Skyfire Rhinos. This was the Sunset Forest, and Lin Fan didn’t want to linger too long, fearing unforeseen events. Having stumbled upon such a fortunate opportunity, his luck was already extraordinary. It was time to leave.
“Ding, congratulations on killing a Divine Rank Two beast, the Skyfire Rhino. Experience +10,000,000.”
“Ding, Skyfire Rhino’s Essence Blood dropped.”
“Skyfire Rhino’s Essence Blood: Upon consumption, enter a berserk state, gaining the Skyfire Rhino’s innate flame, Abyssal Black Flame. Side effects unknown.”
“Ding, congratulations on killing a Divine Rank Two beast, the Skyfire Rhino. Experience +10,000,000.”
“Ding, Skyfire Rhino’s Essence Blood dropped.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
A series of notifications left Lin Fan momentarily stunned.
He then opened his personal panel and saw that he had leveled up three times, now reaching the peak of the Innate Realm, ninth stage.
“Ding, cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Experience required for next level: 100,000,000.”
Upon reaching the ninth stage of the Innate Realm, the next step was the Divine Realm. With his system, although the bottleneck wasn’t as severe as others, the 100 million experience required was still an astronomical figure.
It seemed that to break through to the Divine Realm, Lin Fan would need to undergo further trials.
The Skyfire Rhino, being one of the more ferocious beasts on the beast ranking, was known for its berserk nature. Once it entered a berserk state, it would fight to the death with its enemies.
Lin Fan looked at the two drops of crimson blood in his inventory. They might be useful in the future, but he hoped he would never need to use them.
The scent of blood filled the air, and Lin Fan didn’t linger. He activated his movement technique and continued on his way, hoping to safely reach his sect and inform the sect master of Emperor Yan’s conspiracy with other sects.
Traveling through the night, he rested when exhausted, resuming his journey once his energy was restored. Along the way, he encountered many beasts but paid them no mind, not wanting to waste a single second.
Only when he encountered exceptionally powerful beasts did Lin Fan stop to eliminate them. Encountering two Skyfire Rhinos was already a stroke of incredible luck. Divine Realm beasts typically resided deep within the Sunset Forest, and encountering them in this area was truly a matter of chance.
Two days later.
When Lin Fan caught sight of the nine towering peaks piercing the clouds, a sense of anticipation filled him. Soon, he would reunite with his familiar sect brothers. He wondered what expressions they would have upon seeing him alive and well.
His fake death and subsequent safe return were riddled with questions, but considering the gravity of the information he needed to report, Lin Fan didn’t dwell on it.
Moreover, twisting the truth was one of Lin Fan’s specialties, so he wasn’t too concerned.
As he passed by the tombstone his sect brothers had erected for him, Lin Fan paused. The black stone bore his name, and beneath it were the names of his brothers—Ni Mingyang and Yin Mochen.
Within the sect, they were his closest companions.
No matter what, Lin Fan had to inform the sect of Emperor Yan’s conspiracy. He also hoped his brothers could escape this calamity, as their cultivation levels were too low. If Emperor Yan allied with other sects to attack, his brothers would likely perish.
Seeing the fresh offerings at the tomb, Lin Fan realized his brothers had recently visited him.
As he thought about it, Lin Fan felt the urge to cry. To live a life like his, where even in death he was remembered, was truly something.
At the entrance to the Heavenly Stairs of the Sacred Demon Sect, two outer disciples guarded the exit. Just then, they saw someone rushing toward them from a distance and sternly demanded, “Halt! Who goes there?”
“Brothers, I am Lin Fan, an outer disciple. I have urgent news for the sect master. Please let me pass,” Lin Fan said.
“Do you have a token?” The two scrutinized Lin Fan, their vigilance heightened. This person was unknown and didn’t bear the Sacred Demon Sect’s disciple token.
Lin Fan sighed. How could he possibly have a token? Without further ado, he flashed past them, charging into the sect.
“Stop!” The two disciples, shocked that someone dared to force their way into the Sacred Demon Sect, immediately struck the massive iron bell beside them.
“Boom…”
The bell’s sound, vast as the ocean, echoed throughout the nine peaks.
Outer and inner disciples, going about their daily lives, all turned pale upon hearing the bell from the mountain’s base.
“The disciples at the base have sounded the bell. Has something happened?”
Everyone was alarmed, unsure of what had occurred. This was the Sacred Demon Sect—who would dare to intrude?
Lin Fan, hearing the bell, remained unfazed as he rushed upward. This was just as well, saving him the trouble of finding someone.
“Thief, halt!” As Lin Fan reached the peak, a cold light flashed.
“Brother, I’m one of you,” Lin Fan said. He wasn’t here to fight but to report crucial information to the sect.
Innate Realm, fourth stage.
This was an inner disciple. In the Sacred Demon Sect, those who reached the Innate Realm typically joined the inner sect, with few choosing to remain in the outer sect.
The inner disciple, seeing the intruder block his blade with bare hands, was stunned. He roared, his aura intensifying.
“Thief, daring to intrude upon the Sacred Demon Sect, you deserve death!” The inner disciple bellowed, attempting to shred Lin Fan’s hand with his blade. Yet, even with his energy at its peak, the blade remained immobile in Lin Fan’s grasp.
“Brother, I’ll help you!” Other disciples, seeing their brother struggling against the intruder, rushed forward.
“Don’t push your luck,” Lin Fan said, growing annoyed. He had risked his life to save them, and this was how they treated their savior?
Seeing both Fengtian Rhinoceroses lying motionless, Lin Fan’s lips curled into a slight smile. It had worked.
Invisibility, fate reversal, and the legendary brick—each was indispensable.
Lin Fan drew the Zishuang Sword and ended the lives of both Fengtian Rhinoceroses. This was Sunset Forest, and Lin Fan had no intention of lingering here too long, fearing unexpected dangers. He had already reaped great fortune by stumbling upon this opportunity—he couldn’t afford to stay any longer.
“Ding! Congratulations on defeating a Level 2 Celestial Beast, Fengtian Rhinoceros. Experience +10,000,000.”
“Ding! Dropped the Fengtian Rhinoceros’s Lifeblood.”
“Fengtian Rhinoceros’s Lifeblood: Consuming it will induce a berserker state, granting the Fengtian Rhinoceros’s innate flame, Abyss Black Flame. Side effects unknown.”
“Ding! Congratulations on defeating a Level 2 Celestial Beast, Fengtian Rhinoceros. Experience +10,000,000.”
“Ding! Dropped the Fengtian Rhinoceros’s Lifeblood.”
“Ding! Congratulations, your cultivation level has increased.”
“Ding! Congratulations, your cultivation level has increased.”
“Ding! Congratulations, your cultivation level has increased.”
A series of system notifications left Lin Fan momentarily stunned.
He then opened his status panel and discovered he had gained three levels at once, now reaching the late stage of Innate Ninth Rank.
“Ding! Reached a cultivation bottleneck. Experience requirement increased to 100,000,000.”
Upon reaching the late stage of the Innate Realm, the next step was the Celestial Realm. Although the system made the bottleneck less formidable than for ordinary cultivators, the required 100,000,000 experience points was still an astronomical figure.
It seemed Lin Fan still had a long way to go before reaching the Celestial Realm.
At this moment, Lin Fan held his breath, watching the situation intently, ready to strike without hesitation the moment an opportunity arose.
The male Blazing Sky Rhino wanted to conquer the female, and the only way to do so was to subdue her. However, the Blazing Sky Rhino, whose fate had been altered by Lin Fan, was fighting more fiercely than ever. How could he allow the other to succeed? After all, he was a male Blazing Sky Rhino himself. What was wrong with his brother?
The battle grew increasingly intense, with both Blazing Sky Rhinos sustaining numerous injuries. The one whose fate had been altered by Lin Fan was now being firmly suppressed by the other, as if it wouldn’t be long before it suffered the most excruciating pain in the world.
Lin Fan waited, praying silently, “Hurry up.” He waited for the most critical moment to decisively take down both Blazing Sky Rhinos.
Just then, the female Blazing Sky Rhino let out a piercing cry, her hind legs buckling as the male mounted her.
Though the male Blazing Sky Rhino was covered in wounds, it was still exhilarated, fighting with increasing ferocity. Its massive body trembled, reaching a state of ecstasy.
“Roar…”
At that moment, the male Blazing Sky Rhino let out a deafening roar, its once ferocious face suddenly revealing a human-like expression of pleasure.
The opportunity had come.
Lin Fan had no time to focus on such details. In his invisible state, he moved like the wind, a magical brick appearing in his hand. He struck both Blazing Sky Rhinos on the forehead with it.
The male Blazing Sky Rhino, still lost in its ecstasy, was knocked unconscious by Lin Fan before it could react.
Seeing both Blazing Sky Rhinos lying motionless, Lin Fan allowed a faint smile to cross his lips. It had worked.
Invisibility, fate-altering, and the magical brick—all three were indispensable.
Lin Fan drew his Purple Frost Sword and ended the lives of both Blazing Sky Rhinos. This was the Sunset Forest, and he didn’t want to linger too long, fearing unforeseen dangers. Having stumbled upon such a stroke of luck, he knew he couldn’t afford to stay any longer.
“Ding, congratulations on killing a Divine Rank Two beast, Blazing Sky Rhino. Experience +10,000,000.”
“Ding, Blazing Sky Rhino’s Essence Blood dropped.”
“Blazing Sky Rhino’s Essence Blood: Upon consumption, enter a berserk state, gaining the Blazing Sky Rhino’s innate flame, Abyssal Black Fire. Side effects unknown.”
“Ding, congratulations on killing a Divine Rank Two beast, Blazing Sky Rhino. Experience +10,000,000.”
“Ding, Blazing Sky Rhino’s Essence Blood dropped.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
A series of notifications left Lin Fan momentarily stunned.
He then opened his personal panel and saw that he had leveled up three times, now reaching the peak of the Innate Realm, ninth stage.
“Ding, cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Experience required for next level: 100,000,000.”
Upon reaching the ninth stage of the Innate Realm, the next step was the Divine Realm. With his system, although the bottleneck wasn’t as extreme as others’, the 100 million experience required was still an astronomical figure.
It seemed that if he wanted to break into the Divine Realm, he would need to train even harder.
The Blazing Sky Rhino, one of the more ferocious beasts on the beast ranking, was known for its berserk nature. Once it entered a berserk state, it would fight to the death with its enemies.
Lin Fan looked at the two drops of crimson blood in his inventory. They might come in handy in the future, though he hoped he would never need to use them.
A strong scent of blood filled the air, and Lin Fan didn’t linger. He activated his movement technique and continued on his way, hoping to safely reach his sect and inform the sect master of Emperor Yan’s conspiracy with other sects.
He traveled through the night, resting only when exhausted and continuing once his energy was restored. Along the way, he encountered many beasts but ignored them, not wanting to waste a single moment.
Only when he encountered exceptionally powerful beasts did he stop to harvest them. However, encountering two Blazing Sky Rhinos was already an incredible stroke of luck. Divine Realm beasts typically resided deep within the Sunset Forest, and running into them in this area was truly a matter of chance.
Two days later.
When Lin Fan caught sight of the nine towering peaks piercing the clouds, he felt a sense of anticipation. Soon, he would see his familiar sect brothers and sisters. He wondered what expressions they would have when they saw him alive and well.
He had faked his death and returned unharmed, which raised many questions. However, considering the gravity of the information he needed to report, Lin Fan didn’t dwell on it.
Besides, twisting the truth was one of Lin Fan’s specialties, so he figured it wouldn’t be a problem.
As he passed by the grave his sect brothers had prepared for him, Lin Fan paused. A black stone tablet bore his name, and below it were the names of his brothers: Ni Mingyang and Yin Mochen.
They were the closest to him in the sect.
No matter what, Lin Fan had to inform the sect of Emperor Yan’s conspiracy. He also hoped his brothers could escape this calamity, as their cultivation levels were too low. If Emperor Yan allied with other sects to attack, his brothers would likely perish.
Seeing the fresh offerings at the grave, Lin Fan realized his brothers had recently visited him.
As he thought about it, Lin Fan felt an urge to cry. He had lived a life worth remembering, and even in death, he was not forgotten.
At the entrance to the Heavenly Stairs of the Sacred Demon Sect, two outer disciples guarded the exit. Suddenly, they saw someone rushing toward them from a distance and shouted sternly, “Halt! Who goes there?”
“Brothers, I’m outer disciple Lin Fan. I have urgent news for the sect master. Please let me pass,” Lin Fan said.
“Do you have a token?” The two scrutinized Lin Fan, growing increasingly wary. This person was unfamiliar and didn’t bear the Sacred Demon Sect disciple token.
Lin Fan sighed. How could he have a token? Without further explanation, he flashed past them and charged inside.
“Stop!” The two disciples were shocked that this intruder dared to force his way into the Sacred Demon Sect. They immediately struck the massive iron bell beside them.
“Boom…”
The bell’s resonant sound echoed like a vast ocean, spreading across all nine peaks.
Outer and inner disciples, going about their daily lives, all froze at the sound of the bell.
“The outer disciples have sounded the bell. Has something happened?”
Everyone was alarmed, unsure of what was going on. This was the Sacred Demon Sect—who would dare to intrude?
Lin Fan, hearing the bell, remained unfazed as he rushed upward. This was just as well, saving him the trouble of finding someone.
“Thief, stop right there!” As Lin Fan reached the peak, a cold glint flashed.
“Brother, I’m one of you,” Lin Fan said. He wasn’t here to fight but to report critical information to the sect.
Innate Realm, fourth stage.
This was an inner disciple. In the Sacred Demon Sect, those who reached the Innate Realm usually joined the inner sect, with few choosing to remain in the outer sect.
The inner disciple was stunned when the intruder caught his blade bare-handed. He roared, his aura surging.
“Thief, you dare trespass into the Sacred Demon Sect? You deserve death!” The inner disciple bellowed, trying to shred Lin Fan’s hand with his blade. But even at full power, the blade remained firmly in Lin Fan’s grasp.
“Brother, I’ll help you!” Another disciple, watching the scene, rushed to assist.
“Don’t push your luck,” Lin Fan said, growing annoyed. He had risked his life to save them, and this was how they treated their savior?
Lin Fan gazed at the two drops of crimson blood in his inventory. Perhaps they might come in handy someday, though he hoped never to use them.
At this moment, a strong scent of blood filled the air. Lin Fan wasted no time, activating his techniques and continuing his journey, hoping only to safely reach the sect and inform the Sect Leader about the schemes of Yanhuang and the other sects.
At this moment, Lin Fan held his breath, intently watching the situation before him, ready to strike without hesitation as soon as the opportunity arose.
The male Blazing Sky Rhinoceros sought to dominate the female, which could only be achieved by subduing her.

Lin Fan waited, praying silently, “Hurry up.” He continued to wait, biding his time for the most critical moment to decisively take down both Blazing Sky Rhinoceroses.
At that moment, the female Blazing Sky Rhinoceros let out a piercing cry, her hind legs bending as the male mounted her.
Though the male Blazing Sky Rhinoceros was covered in wounds, he remained incredibly excited, fighting with increasing ferocity. His massive body trembled, reaching a state of ecstasy.
“Roar…”
At this instant, the male Blazing Sky Rhinoceros let out a thunderous roar, his once ferocious face suddenly revealing a human-like expression of pleasure.
The opportunity had arrived.
Lin Fan, however, had no time to focus on such details. In his invisible state, he moved like the wind, his divine brick appearing in his hand as he struck both Blazing Sky Rhinoceroses on their foreheads.
The male, still lost in his ecstasy, hadn’t even begun to recover from his pleasure before Lin Fan knocked him unconscious.
Seeing both Blazing Sky Rhinoceroses lying motionless, a faint smile appeared on Lin Fan’s lips. It had worked.
Invisibility, fate reversal, and the divine brick—all three were indispensable.
Lin Fan drew his Purple Frost Sword and ended the lives of the two Blazing Sky Rhinoceroses. This was the Sunset Forest, and Lin Fan didn’t want to linger too long, lest something unexpected happen.

“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
A series of notifications left Lin Fan momentarily stunned.
He then opened his personal panel and saw that he had leveled up three times, now reaching the peak of the Innate Rank Nine.
“Ding, your cultivation has hit a bottleneck. Experience required for the next level increased to 100,000,000.”
Upon reaching the peak of Innate Rank Nine, the next step was the Divine Realm. With his system, although his bottleneck wasn’t as severe as others’, the 100 million experience required was still an astronomical figure.

He had faked his death and returned unscathed, which raised many questions. However, considering the importance of the information he needed to report, Lin Fan didn’t dwell on it.
Moreover, twisting the truth was one of Lin Fan’s specialties, so he wasn’t too worried.
As he passed by the grave his sect brothers had prepared for him, Lin Fan paused. A black stone tablet bore his name, and beneath it were the names of his brothers.

Seeing the fresh offerings on the grave, Lin Fan realized his brothers had recently visited him.
As he thought about it, Lin Fan felt an urge to cry. To live a life like his was truly something. Who would have thought that even after death, he would still be remembered?
At the entrance to the Heavenly Stairs of the Holy Demon Sect, two outer sect disciples guarded the exit. At that moment, they saw someone rushing toward them from a distance and shouted sternly, “Halt! Who goes there?”
“Brothers, I am Lin Fan, an outer sect disciple. I have urgent news for the sect leader. Please let me pass,” Lin Fan said.
“Do you have a token?” The two scrutinized Lin Fan, their vigilance heightened. This person was unknown to them and didn’t carry a Holy Demon Sect disciple token.
Lin Fan sighed. How could he possibly have a token? Without further explanation, he flashed past them, charging straight into the sect.
“Stop!” The two disciples were shocked that this intruder dared to force his way into the Holy Demon Sect. They immediately struck the massive iron bell beside them.
“Boom…”
The sound of the bell was vast and far-reaching, echoing across all nine peaks.
Outer and inner sect disciples, going about their daily lives, suddenly changed expressions upon hearing the bell from the mountain.
“The disciples at the foot have sounded the bell. Has something happened?”
Everyone was alarmed, unsure of what was going on. This was the Holy Demon Sect—who would dare to intrude?
Lin Fan, hearing the bell, remained unfazed as he continued his ascent. This was just as well, saving him the trouble of finding someone.
“Thief, stop right there!” As Lin Fan reached the peak, a cold light flashed.
“Brother, I’m one of you,” Lin Fan said. He wasn’t here to fight but to report crucial information to the sect.
Innate Rank Four.
This person was an inner sect disciple. In the Holy Demon Sect, those who reached the Innate Realm usually joined the inner sect, with few choosing to remain in the outer sect.
The inner sect disciple was stunned to see the intruder block his blade with nothing but his bare hand. He roared, his aura surging.
“Thief, daring to intrude upon the Holy Demon Sect—you deserve death!” The inner sect disciple bellowed, trying to shred Lin Fan’s hand with his blade. But even with his energy pushed to the limit, the blade remained firmly in Lin Fan’s grasp.
“Brother, I’ll help you!” Another disciple, seeing that the inner sect disciple couldn’t subdue the intruder, rushed forward.
“Don’t push your luck,” Lin Fan said, growing annoyed. He had risked his life to save them, and this was how they treated their savior?
Unless he encountered a particularly powerful beast, Lin Fan would stop and eliminate it. However, having already encountered two Fengtian Rhinoceroses was already incredibly fortunate. Celestial-ranked beasts lived deep within Sunset Forest, and encountering them in this area truly depended on luck.
Two days later.
As Lin Fan gazed upon the nine towering peaks that pierced the clouds, a glimmer of anticipation flickered in his heart. Soon, he would reunite with his familiar senior and junior brothers. He wondered what expressions they would wear upon seeing him alive and well.
Returning alive after being presumed dead raised many questions, but considering the importance of the report he carried, Lin Fan decided not to dwell on it.
Besides, manipulating the truth was one of Lin Fan’s specialties. He figured it wouldn’t be a big issue.
As he passed by the grave his seniors had prepared for him, Lin Fan paused. A black stone tablet bore his name.
Beneath his name were the names of his seniors.
Ni Mingyang, Yin Mochen.
Among the sect disciples, these two were the closest to him.
Regardless, Lin Fan needed to inform the sect about Yanhuang’s plot. He also hoped his seniors would survive the impending crisis, as their cultivation levels were too low. If Yanhuang allied with other sects to attack, his two seniors would likely lose their lives.
Looking at the fresh offerings on the grave, it seemed his seniors had recently come to visit.
Thinking about it, Lin Fan felt a surge of emotion, almost moved to tears. To be remembered even after death—what a rare blessing it was to be a person like himself.
At the entrance to the Saint-Demon Sect’s Heavenly Stairway, two outer sect disciples guarded the exit. Suddenly, they spotted someone rushing toward them from a distance and shouted, “Halt! Who goes there?”
“Junior brothers, I am Lin Fan, an outer sect disciple. I have urgent matters to report to the Sect Leader. Please let me pass,” Lin Fan replied.
“Do you have a sect token?” The two guards scrutinized Lin Fan carefully, growing even more suspicious. This person’s identity was unclear, and he didn’t even possess a Saint-Demon Sect disciple token.
Lin Fan sighed. Of course he didn’t have a token. He had no intention of explaining further. His figure flickered like a shadow, and he charged straight into the sect.
“Halt!” The two disciples were startled to see this person daring to force his way into the Saint-Demon Sect. They immediately struck the giant iron bell beside them.
“Boom…”
The bell’s sound resonated like an ocean, its vast echo spreading across all nine peaks.
Outer and inner sect disciples were going about their daily routines when they suddenly heard the alarm bell from the lower mountain. Their expressions instantly changed.
“The disciples at the foot of the mountain have rung the iron bell. What could have happened?”
Everyone was puzzled, unable to comprehend what was occurring. This was the Saint-Demon Sect—could someone dare to intrude?
Hearing the bell, Lin Fan remained calm and continued rushing upward. This was actually convenient—he wouldn’t have to go looking for people.
“Scoundrel, stop right there!” Just as Lin Fan reached the mountain summit, a cold gleam suddenly appeared.
“Senior Brother, it’s me!” Lin Fan wasn’t here for a fight—he needed to report urgent matters to the sect.
Cultivation at the Fourth Stage of the Innate Realm.
This person was an inner sect disciple. In the Saint-Demon Sect, cultivators who reached the Innate Realm usually joined the inner sect, with few choosing to remain in the outer sect.
Seeing the intruder daring to block his blade with bare hands, the inner sect disciple was astonished. He roared furiously, his aura surging.
“Scoundrel, for daring to invade the Saint-Demon Sect, you deserve death!” The inner sect disciple roared in rage, attempting to shatter Lin Fan’s hand to pieces. Even when he pushed his spiritual energy to the limit, the sword gripped by Lin Fan remained completely unmoving.
“Senior Brother, let me assist you!” Seeing their senior brother unable to subdue the intruder, the other disciples rushed forward to help.
“You guys are really pushing it!” At this point, Lin Fan was growing annoyed. He had come here risking his life to save them, yet they treated their savior like this?
