As the supreme patriarch of Kunlun Divine Sect and also its strongest, Bai Sheng felt bitter inside—an emotion he should never have experienced, nor should he ever feel in the future.
Yet the scene before him now forced him to make a choice.
All the disciples of Kunlun Divine Sect were imprisoned within that furnace, representing the sect’s entire future. If they perished, the Kunlun Divine Sect would be utterly destroyed and erased from the Nine Sects forever.
Bai Sheng’s voice was hoarse, “Geng Yang Tian, what exactly do you want?”
At this moment, he was out of options. To fight head-on? The supreme patriarchs of Heaven and Earth Sect were all present here. Even if they battled, there was no possibility of a decisive outcome. Now that all Kunlun’s disciples were in the enemy’s hands, what else could he do?
Geng Yang Tian was in a cheerful mood. His long seclusion had made him indifferent to worldly matters, but now, the first event after his return was of such magnitude that it stirred his heart, making it hard to believe. His disciple had brought him too many surprises—sometimes more like shocks.
“You tell me, what exactly do you want?” Bai Sheng roared, his eyes fierce. For a mighty Xian King cultivator to be pushed to such a point was unbelievable.
That furious roar carried more helplessness and despair than rage.
Geng Yang Tian looked at Lin Fan, “What do you want?”
He didn’t know what to do anymore. The other party had captured all the disciples. They should at least make a demand, such as treasures or immortal pills. As the supreme patriarch of Heaven and Earth Sect, he lacked for nothing. When someone lacked nothing, it was hard to know what to ask for.
Lin Fan slightly furrowed his brow. This question was serious now; he needed to think carefully about what to do next.
“You two chat for a bit. Let me think,” Lin Fan waved his hand.
Geng Yang Tian glanced at Lin Fan. Chat? If not for holding Kunlun’s disciples hostage, Bai Sheng would have already gone all out. But now, with nothing else to do, chatting wasn’t so bad.
“White Saint, do you remember when we were both inner disciples, and we encountered a treasure in the secret realm? You and I fought over it. Of course, I ended up getting it, since I was just a bit more skilled and a little stronger,” Geng Yang Tian began reminiscing.
But Bai Sheng seemed not to hear. His eyes remained locked on Lin Fan.
…
At this moment, Geng Yang Tian began recounting the past, as if recalling old memories.
After thinking for a while, Lin Fan suddenly slapped his thigh, coughed lightly, and said, “You all, these supreme patriarchs, quickly hand over all your treasures.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene was stunned into silence.
“This kid is so damn greedy. The treasures possessed by the supreme patriarchs of Kunlun Divine Sect are extremely valuable. Now he dares to demand everything from these supreme patriarchs.”
“How outrageous! I wonder if the supreme patriarchs of Kunlun will agree.”
“But what choice do they have? The leverage is in the other party’s hands. Would they really want Kunlun Sect to be destroyed?”
“Today is truly an eye-opener. From now on, no one in the Endless Continent will dare provoke this person.”
“Who in their right mind would dare provoke him? He’s simply a monster.”
…
Geng Yang Tian looked at Lin Fan and gave him a meaningful glance, clearly indicating that this demand was too excessive.
The treasures of Xian King-level experts were extremely valuable. Especially Bai Sheng, who had been a Xian King for such a long time. His collection was likely immense.
“Do you want to do what? Don’t act recklessly. If I accidentally kill all the disciples inside the furnace, don’t blame me,” Lin Fan said, seeing Bai Sheng’s furious expression.
Indeed, Bai Sheng wanted to curse Lin Fan, but he deeply restrained himself.
Endure.
He must endure.
The Kunlun Divine Sect must continue its legacy. If it were to end in his hands, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life, and he would never achieve the Dao of Tian Jun.
Bai Sheng looked at Lin Fan and then at the disciples within the Heaven and Earth Furnace. The lineage of Kunlun Divine Sect must not be severed.
“Heaven and Earth Sect, you cannot go too far,” Bai Sheng finally spoke.
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, “Too far? Not at all. Remember, it was you Kunlun who first wanted to kill me. But your strength was insufficient to kill me. Perhaps now it’s time for revenge, and you must bear it.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Sheng’s heart was in turmoil.
He was extremely disappointed in Tai Qian Tian. Failing to kill an unknown young man, how could he still be the sect leader of Kunlun? Now being attacked at his doorstep was the greatest humiliation in Kunlun’s history.
“White Saint, I have already left you some room. I won’t take the treasures from Kunlun’s treasure vault. I only need the treasures carried by you supreme patriarchs,” Lin Fan said.
Bai Sheng lowered his head and finally nodded in agreement. “Fine, I’ll give them to you…”
Whoosh!
With a flick of Bai Sheng’s sleeve, a sky full of treasures flew out. This was the entire wealth of a Xian King, described as immense. With just these treasures, one could easily establish a mid-tier sect.
And if used properly, they could support cultivation all the way to the Xian King realm.
This was the foundation of a Xian King.
The surrounding powerful cultivators saw the treasures in the air, and greed surged in their hearts. But looking at the current situation, they all restrained themselves. It was better not to try. With so many supreme patriarchs and Xian Kings around, unless they wanted to die, no one would dare to lay a hand on these treasures.
Looking at these treasures, Lin Fan’s heart was filled with joy.
Immortal pills!
Divine artifacts for forging!
Immortal herbs!
All kinds of treasures were present, dazzling his eyes.
With a flick of his finger, Lin Fan directly absorbed all these treasures into his backpack.
“Good, very good. Now, the remaining patriarchs, hand over your treasures as well,” Lin Fan smiled.
This feeling was truly exhilarating.
Actually, Lin Fan’s original plan was to kill a few Xian King patriarchs to rapidly enhance his own cultivation. But the current situation had exceeded their expectations.
The “Lin’s Soap” was indeed powerful, but now there were only two chances left.
If he used it now, he might not achieve the desired effect.
He might even be stopped by others, which would be tragic.
Therefore, Lin Fan decided to give up the idea. Killing Qi Tian Patriarch and Tai Qian Tian was already a great gain. There would be plenty of opportunities to kill enemies in the future; he didn’t have to do it today.
Since even Bai Sheng had handed over his treasures, what else could the others do? Naturally, they threw out all their treasures.
However, Lin Fan found it somewhat disappointing. These guys were just too poor compared to Bai Sheng, not even on the same level.
“Hey, you didn’t hide anything, right? How come there’s so little?” Lin Fan asked.
But after confirming that these were indeed all their treasures, Lin Fan could only shake his head helplessly. What a pity.
Lin Fan softly said, “Old patriarch, do you think we should really release them all now? Should we keep one or two important figures?”
Geng Yang Tian shook his head, “No need. Release them all. My Heaven and Earth Sect keeps its word and never bullies others.”
“Fine then.”
Lin Fan opened the furnace lid and released all the disciples of Kunlun Divine Sect.
“All of you from Kunlun Divine Sect, listen well. This time is just a lesson for you. If you dare to do this again in the future, it won’t be this simple,” Lin Fan shouted loudly.
Although the disciples of Kunlun Divine Sect harbored resentment in their hearts, they dared not act recklessly. They had seen from within the Heaven and Earth Furnace that all the elders had handed over their treasures. It was a ransom for their lives.
Their hearts were deeply moved.
Indeed, they had not chosen the wrong sect. Although today they had been humiliated, they believed that one day they would restore their honor.
They would strive to cultivate and work hard to bring glory to their sect, defeating Lin Fan, the great demon of Heaven and Earth Sect.
