Chapter 722: This Humble Monk Believes It Is Not Advisable.

The guardian spirit of the Sacred Land was born alongside the formation of the Sacred Land itself. It possessed a soul and intelligence, yet was bound by duty.

Lin Fan’s sudden outburst caused everyone nearby to burst into laughter, thinking this guy was clearly an idiot.

But in that very instant—

The crowd watched in horror as the guardian spirit actually loosened its grip, then floated straight toward Lin Fan like a dragon gliding through the air, stopping right in front of him.

“How could this be? How could the guardian spirit really let go?” Nie Kuanglong stared in shock, disbelief written all over his face.

Feng Wushuang, witnessing this, nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. When he had first seen this annoying fellow subdued by the guardian spirit, he had felt both anger and excitement. But now, the guardian spirit had actually released him.

“No! Impossible!” Feng Wushuang roared, his eyes bloodshot with fury.

“Hahahaha!” Lin Fan laughed heartily. “I knew it! That old man still had a bit of humanity left after all!”

The Supervisor instinctively took a step back, then narrowed his eyes. “He has disturbed the order of the Sacred Land. Guardian Spirit, bind him!”

The Supervisor had been granted authority—if someone violated the Sacred Land’s order and was also powerful, the Supervisor could call upon the guardian spirit.

Yet no matter how hard the Supervisor commanded, the guardian spirit remained motionless, standing upright in front of Lin Fan. It was truly strange.

“You idiot, stop barking! Do you even know who I am? I am the leader of the Rebellion, the Emperor of Humanity! You actually think you can suppress me? That’s nothing but a dreamer’s fantasy! From this day forth, who dares to defy the Rebellion?”

“Guardian Spirit, release my comrades,” Lin Fan said calmly, raising his hand slightly.

Rustling!

“What’s going on? How did the Captain do that?”

“The guardian spirit actually obeyed the Captain’s command! This is unbelievable!”

“Long live the Captain! Long live the Rebellion!”

The Rebellion members were ecstatic. Their faces lit up with excitement. They had thought they would be expelled, but instead, their leader had proven incredibly powerful—so much so that even the guardian spirit obeyed him.

In their eyes, their leader truly deserved to be their leader, their idol.

Liu Qiangwei’s beautiful eyes shimmered with amazement. This man before her was full of mystery. Even now, she couldn’t figure out how the guardian spirit had come to obey him.

“Guardian Spirit, subdue him!” the Supervisor roared furiously. But no matter how loudly he shouted, the guardian spirit did not budge an inch.

“So obedient!” Lin Fan reached out, gently stroking the guardian spirit’s head as if petting a three-year-old child.

“Guardian Spirit: The innate spirit of the Sacred Land. Intelligence equivalent to a six-year-old child. Pure-hearted, yearning for someone to take him out into the world.”

“Ding! Would you like to engage in deeper communication with the Guardian Spirit?”

“Yes.”

At this moment, the guardian spirit seemed to be enjoying Lin Fan’s touch, shivering slightly in delight.

Everyone present watched in wide-eyed shock, as if they had seen a ghost.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan found himself in a boundless realm of light, where a chubby little boy stood gazing at the sky, his adorable eyes filled with infinite longing.

Outside!

“Guardian Spirit, subdue this person!”

“Guardian Spirit…”

The Supervisor was on the verge of collapse. The guardian spirit, which he had always commanded effortlessly, had stopped obeying him. He had been granted authority by the Sacred Land itself!

“Stop calling it already,” Lin Fan suddenly returned to his senses, a faint smile on his lips as he lifted his finger. “Guardian Spirit, capture this annoying little wretch.”

Whoosh!

A flash of light, and the guardian spirit, like a charging dragon, instantly wrapped around the Supervisor, binding him so tightly that not even a finger could move.

“No! How could this happen? How could this happen?” The Supervisor’s face turned pale. He never imagined that he would be bound by the guardian spirit—it was an event that had never occurred before.

The surrounding teams looked on in stunned disbelief. Who exactly was this man? Why would the guardian spirit obey him?

“What now? Do you still have any tricks left?” Lin Fan folded his arms, smiling as he watched the Supervisor.

“What sorcery did you use?” the Supervisor shrieked at Lin Fan, unable to comprehend why the guardian spirit no longer obeyed him.

“Heh, sorcery? I am the messenger of justice. That’s why someone like you, a demon or monster, can never command the guardian spirit,” Lin Fan replied with a faint smile, then turned toward Qing Huang.

Approaching Qing Huang, Lin Fan squatted down and patted the pale face of Qing Huang. “My dear Qing Huang, what’s wrong with you? Should I call someone for you?”

Qing Huang’s face was filled with shock, his heart burning with fury. He never imagined he would be defeated by this man.

“Damn you, what do you want?” Qing Huang roared furiously. Even though he was at the eighth level of Divine Heaven, capable of recovering from injuries in an instant, a violent force inside him tore at his body relentlessly.

And he knew—this was all the doing of the man before him.

“Why, of course—” Lin Fan always kept his word. He had said he would kill someone’s entire family, and he would. He had said he would turn Qing Huang into a servant, and he would. But just then, a divine thought entered Lin Fan’s mind, unknown to anyone else.

“My dear disciple, that’s enough now.”

Lin Fan rolled his eyes but finally nodded.

He knew that his ability to command the guardian spirit came from Old Master Feng Qingzi. Now that the old man had spoken, what else could he do?

After all, he was now someone else’s disciple, living under their roof. Who could understand the bitterness of that?

At this moment, Feng Qingzi was also feeling helpless. Was this really his disciple or just a troublemaker he had picked up? The moment he arrived at the Sacred Land, he had caused such a massive disturbance.

It was as if he wanted to leave no path for others to survive.

Still, Feng Qingzi had noticed one admirable quality in his disciple: he accepted everyone without discrimination, taking in all kinds of people.

The team rules had been established by him—to encourage strong individuals to guide the weaker ones, promoting mutual growth. And the results had been quite good. But over time, the situation had changed.

The weak could no longer find teams to join, while the strong teams were filled only with powerful members.

Feng Qingzi had been helpless about this—until Lin Fan’s arrival brought new hope.

Just moments ago, Feng Qingzi had sensed that his disciple could actually communicate with the guardian spirit. He had wanted to investigate further, but the guardian spirit had sealed off its defenses, blocking Feng Qingzi’s divine consciousness. He had no idea what was happening.

Still, Feng Qingzi thought it was probably nothing serious.

The guardian spirit was an innate being, pure-hearted. Nothing deceitful could escape its eyes. For his disciple to try to subdue it was even more impossible.

“My men, I intend to turn this fellow into a servant. Any suggestions?” Lin Fan stood up and looked at the crowd.

The Rebellion members had no idea what Lin Fan was thinking. Upon hearing that Qing Huang would become a servant, they were all thrilled.

“No suggestions needed! If Qing Huang becomes a servant, that would be absolutely awesome!”

“Yeah! Our Rebellion is just too powerful!”

“Qing Huang as a servant? Something we never even dared to dream of!”

Buddha Zunzhe had also wanted to nod in agreement—it was indeed a bold move. But in that instant, he noticed something strange in Lin Shi’s gaze. His heart immediately tensed.

“There’s something wrong with his eyes. something unusual must be happening.”

Buddha Zunzhe had eyes that saw everything, a heart as clear as a bell. He could tell what Lin Shi had eaten just by smelling the wind.

“Amitabha, I believe this is unwise.”

At that moment, Buddha Zunzhe stepped forward and spoke.

Suddenly, thousands of gazes turned toward him in unison.

“Bald monk, why not?” Lin Fan secretly rejoiced. “Only you truly understand me.”
