Chapter 778: The Changes Are Too Drastic, My Heart Can’t Take It.

“Blue surpasses indigo!”

Lin Fan felt proud, but thinking about these two young girls, their age wasn’t that great, yet they were already so domineering. What would happen if they grew even older?

By then, would he, as their master, still be able to keep them in check?

At this moment, Lin Fan muttered inwardly, and also made a mental note about Er Gou and others who had been indulging with the two girls.

If they weren’t properly disciplined, the sky might really fall.

Lin Fan was actually curious to see what antics these two girls would come up with next.

When Jiuling Sect and Holy Demon Sect arrived at Shengxuan City, the city lord was busily running himself ragged.

During these days of their stay, the city had been thrown into chaos. If they stayed any longer, they might just take over the entire city.

Under his leadership, Shengxuan had developed rapidly, with everyone having food to eat and blessings to enjoy.

Yet in just these few days, many commoners had been bullied and wronged by the disciples of these two sects, and even reporting to the authorities had been of no use.

They were simply untouchable.

Other sects’ disciples who came to Shengxuan City would usually be warned by the elders of their sects not to cause trouble.

But Jiuling Sect and Holy Demon Sect were the opposite, allowing their disciples to do as they pleased without restraint.

He had originally tried to approach the people from these two sects, but couldn’t find any of their senior figures; the only ones he managed to meet were ordinary elders.

However, those ordinary elders looked at the Shengxuan City lord as if he were an ant, showing not the slightest respect.

He had also sought help from other sects, but upon hearing it involved Jiuling Sect and Holy Demon Sect, they all shook their heads and refused.

The final outcome was this:

Though he was the city lord, he couldn’t afford to offend either of these sects.

Lin Fan brought the Fourteenth Bandits of the Desert to an inn for a brief rest, waiting for the much-anticipated grand competition the next day.

The next day!

Shengxuan City was clearly more lively.

Countless martial artists had gathered from elsewhere, and within a single day, the number of outsiders in Shengxuan City had become astronomical.

Wherever one went, people were discussing the upcoming contest.

And what people discussed most was that the leaders of these two sects were both beautiful young women, yet possessed formidable power.

Lin Fan naturally knew the strength of Zhiqiao and You Jiuling very well. These two girls, after his training, were extremely gifted, unmatched in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Their cultivation speed was naturally advancing by leaps and bounds, especially with the aid of large quantities of pills, making it hard not to become powerful.

“Boss, what these people are saying is just too exaggerated. Thirteen or fourteen years old and already reaching the peak of Great Heaven Realm? Even with pills, it’s not that intense,” Sha Dulong said in disbelief.

Although Sha Dulong had been following Lin Fan, there were still many things he didn’t know.

“Five years. If they hadn’t reached the peak of Great Heaven Realm by then, that would truly be strange,” Lin Fan replied.

Sha Dulong looked at Lin Fan and finally said nothing. He felt that comparing people was enough to make one feel inferior.

Especially these younger generations nowadays, each one more formidable than the last.

“Let’s go, let’s take a look,” Lin Fan said, walking toward the distance.

Looking at Lin Fan, Sha Dulong had the feeling that his boss’s mood didn’t seem too good.

The competition was to be held at the largest arena in Shengxuan City.

It was packed with people, all coming for this contest.

Lin Fan, Sha Dulong, and others found a spot and sat down.

“These Jiuling Empress and Holy Demon Sect Leader are indeed extraordinary geniuses. I wonder who could possibly be the person capable of teaching such disciples.”

“Yeah, right now in the Xuanhuang Realm, countless young talents are fascinated by these two remarkable women, and many others have even set them as their goals.”

“But I heard that these two sect leaders used to be fellow disciples. How did things suddenly turn out this way?”

“Who knows? These two sects have small contests every three months, medium ones every six months, and major ones every year. Now, after several years, no one knows how many times they’ve competed.”

Hearing the surrounding praises, Lin Fan smiled.

The one capable of teaching such disciples was naturally himself. In this world, besides him, who else could have such ability?

But what was said next made Lin Fan unhappy once again.

“But these two sects are too domineering. Many people have been wronged by them. I heard that the leader of a small sect once complained about their excessive behavior and was immediately beaten up and forced to kneel for three days and nights.”

“Sigh, as the saying goes, ‘If the child is not taught properly, it’s the father’s fault.’ Although these two disciples are heavenly talents, they’re just too domineering. I think their master isn’t a good person either.”

“Shh, speak softly, you dare to say such things?”

At this moment, Lin Fan was so angry that his face turned green. He was being unfairly implicated here.

Originally, those were two well-behaved little girls. How did they suddenly start fighting for no reason?

“You guys aren’t quite right, are you?” Lin Fan couldn’t stand it anymore and had to defend himself.

The few people sitting behind Lin Fan were slightly taken aback, then asked in confusion, “What’s not right?”

“I heard their master is an upright figure who has saved the Xuanhuang Realm countless times,” Lin Fan self-praised calmly.

“Brother, how do you know that?”

“I… I am their master,” Lin Fan, at a loss for words, finally blurted out after a long silence.

The people behind him looked at each other in silence, then without saying a word, stood up and moved to another spot.

“This guy isn’t young, but he’s talking nonsense.”

“I think this guy’s mind isn’t right.”

“Let’s keep our distance, better not get dragged into trouble.”

Hearing these words, Lin Fan was so angry he didn’t know what to say. Then his expression turned serious.

“All because of these two brats. I must discipline them properly later.”

At this moment, Lin Fan had already blamed everything on these two girls.

Boom!

A drumbeat rang out, and figures flashed down from the sky.

At the top of the arena were rows of seats.

“She’s here, the Jiuling Empress has arrived.”

“That’s the Holy Demon Sect Leader, the Nine Heavens Empress.”

One after another, people appeared. Lin Fan looked at them and felt a sense of nostalgia.

They hadn’t changed at all; they were still the same as before.

Roar!

Suddenly, a roar echoed. The sky abruptly turned snow-white, and icy cold snowflakes drifted down from the sky, as a giant figure blotted out the heavens.

“That’s the Snow King Lion, the Nine Heavens Empress’s mount.”

“Truly extraordinary. Just its aura alone is enough to instill fear.”

Lin Fan hadn’t expected that the Snow King Lion, which he had once known, would undergo such tremendous changes in these five years, surpassing even its mother in strength.

The giant Snow King Lion gradually shrank in size and finally landed beside Zhiqiao.

“Wo wo wo…”

Hearing this sound, Lin Fan’s lips curled into a smile. He looked up at the sky, which had turned a fiery red, like a sea of flames spreading out.

“Chickie!”

As people looked up at the sky, discussions broke out.

“This is the guardian beast of Jiuling Sect. Although it looks strange, it’s extremely powerful.”

“Yeah, no one knows exactly what kind of creature it is, but even Jiuling Empress treats it with great respect.”

At this moment, in the sky, Chickie still looked the same as before, not much changed, but its tail had increased from three to seven.

Seeing Chickie’s strength had improved to such a level, Lin Fan felt very pleased. But in an instant, Lin Fan’s eyes widened in shock, as if he had seen something terrifying.

At some point, behind Chickie, followed three baby chicks. Their size was only a quarter of Chickie’s. One was dressed in gold and silver, exuding a sense of treasure.

Another was multi-colored, with its head feathers sticking up like a punk hairstyle.

The third was even extremely fat. If you didn’t look carefully, you couldn’t even see its head.

What’s more, right now, it had a huge piece of meat in its mouth, flapping its wings and following Chickie.

Chickie came to Jiuling’s side, then lay down on the seat. Instantly, several disciples rushed over, eagerly massaging its limbs.

Chickie wore an expression of enjoyment.

“What the hell happened here?”

At this moment, Lin Fan was completely shocked.

His little heart could hardly bear it anymore.
