Eleven storage rings. Lin Fan glanced through their contents but found nothing particularly valuable. For these impoverished individuals, this was probably all they possessed.
“Lin Fan, let us go. What you’re doing will plunge the Cang Ling Continent into ruin!” the leader of the Wind Sword Sect roared, his eyes filled with deep terror.
He never imagined that even with so many people, none of them could stand against this young man.
What had this kid experienced? Why had he improved so rapidly within these two years? It was simply unbelievable.
Lin Fan glanced coldly at the sect leaders, a faint sneer curling his lips.
“Talk about ruin all you want. Don’t waste my time. I’ve already made myself clear earlier. No matter who comes today, none of you will survive.”
Lin Fan retrieved the memorial tablets of his two senior apprentices from his bag and placed them on the ground.
“Dear senior brothers, watch closely now. Your junior brother will avenge you today.” As he gazed at the tablets, memories surged through him.
Back then, his cultivation level was low, but these two seniors had always treated him kindly.
He had secretly attacked them to gain experience, then forged each a sword, which made them so happy they forgot his betrayal.
Where else could such seniors be found?
Unfortunately, all that was shattered now. He could only grow stronger and protect those important to him.
When the others saw the dark look in Lin Fan’s eyes, a chill ran through their hearts. They sensed something ominous. In his eyes, they saw murder.
Could this truly be their end?
“I originally planned to torture you all slowly, but now I feel that letting you live another second is a mercy. So die for me!”
Lin Fan suddenly struck his palm outward. Space twisted, tearing violently at them.
“Ahh…”
“Boom…”
With a flick of his sleeve, he hurled them into the Heaven-Earth Crucible.
“Refine them…”
He made use of the waste, extracting all the chains of laws from within.
“Ding! Congratulations on successful refinement.”
“Thirty-five chains of laws.”
“Damn waste of space…” Lin Fan absorbed all the chains. Now he had accumulated 105 chains. That should be enough to summon the Heart Demon Emperor and extract essence blood.
“Big Brother…” At this moment, Wang Xiao Liu came running from afar.
Looking at Wang Xiao Liu and the others, Lin Fan pondered what to do next.
“What are your plans from now on?” Lin Fan asked the group.
They looked at Lin Fan, then lowered their heads in thought.
“I’ve been away from home for years. I don’t even know if my family still exists.”
“I feel the same. I want to go home too.”
…
Listening to their words, Lin Fan realized they all wished to return home. Perhaps they had lost all hope in the path of martial cultivation.
Merely surviving was already a miracle.
“And you, Xiao Liu? What about you?” Lin Fan asked, looking at Wang Xiao Liu.
Lin Fan had always kept his promises. He would help Wang Xiao Liu fulfill his wish, but he wanted to hear what Wang Xiao Liu himself wanted.
If he still wished to pursue martial cultivation, Lin Fan would take him back to the Holy Sect.
“Big Brother, I want to go home. I’ve been away for four or five years. My wife and mother are waiting for me.” Wang Xiao Liu had lost all hope in the martial path. After years of suffering in the Heaven and Earth Sect, surviving was already fortunate. He no longer wished to continue down this path but instead return and accompany his family.
“Alright then. I’ll send you all back.” Lin Fan nodded, then flicked his sleeve, vanishing into the void with them.
As he departed, Lin Fan glanced back at the Holy Demon Sect.
He would return here eventually. After connecting the two worlds, he would relocate the Holy Demon Sect back.
After Lin Fan and the others left,
On the desolate training ground of the Holy Demon Sect, a figure materialized in the void.
This figure exuded evil, terror, and a sinister aura.
Unlike the leader of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect’s sinister aura or the King Yan’s evil presence,
The energy it radiated was even more powerful than all of them.
If Lin Fan were here and saw this figure, he would be utterly shocked.
Wasn’t this Mo Yi Xuan?
One of the two powerful experts ambushed by Lin Fan, later thrown into the void by Ni Mantian, devoured by a sinister palace.
Moreover, the “Invisible Demon” technique Lin Fan currently mastered was looted from this person.
“Father, I didn’t expect you to have died already. Well, no matter…” In an instant, space fluctuated, and Mo Yi Xuan vanished from there.
…
Lin Fan traveled through the void, searching for the hometowns of his companions, dropping each off accordingly.
With their current strength, returning home from the Holy Demon Sect would be extremely difficult. They might be devoured by beasts or attacked by bandits along the way.
Throughout the journey, Lin Fan conversed with them.
Especially upon hearing that Lin Fan had inherited the position of Holy Demon Sect leader, they all smiled joyfully.
They understood their own limitations and harbored no jealousy.
Wang Xiao Liu was especially delighted—his family’s cultivation technique was even practiced by the sect leader himself. That was a source of pride for the Wang family.
Wang Xiao Liu kept smiling foolishly throughout the trip, clearly overjoyed.
“I’ll leave you all here. In the future, I will rebuild the Holy Demon Sect. If you have the ability, feel free to visit.” Lin Fan said to the last batch of companions.
“Sure, we will.” Having escaped the terrifying Heaven and Earth Sect, everyone finally relaxed.
Once, they had eagerly pursued the path of martial cultivation, but reality had crushed them severely.
Now, they realized that being with their families was the greatest happiness.
“Take this money. I should send Xiao Liu home now.” These riches were all taken from the sect leaders. To Lin Fan, they were utterly useless.
…
As Lin Fan’s figure vanished once more into the void,
The group waved toward the distance.
“Actually, I wanted to return to the sect, but after all this, I realize I’m not suited for it.”
“I feel the same. If we returned to the Holy Demon Sect, Brother Lin would protect us, and we’d never be bullied again. But now, I just want to go home.”
“Ah, let’s not think about it. Perhaps in the future, we can send our children there.”
“Yeah, exactly. We might not be good enough, but we must ensure our children bring honor to our families.”
“Haha…”
…
At this moment, everyone laughed heartily, walking shoulder to shoulder toward the city.
The past few years had been an unforgettable experience, deeply etched into their memories.
But in their eyes, those years weren’t wasted. After all, they had learned the “Titan Grade Demon Body” technique.
Though their cultivation wasn’t high, they could at least defend themselves.
Plus, with the money given by Brother Lin, they could start small businesses and live worry-free lives. What a wonderful thought.
…
“Xiao Liu, what’s wrong?” Seeing Wang Xiao Liu’s nervous expression, Lin Fan smiled and asked.
“Big Brother, I’ve been away from home for so long. I don’t even know if they’re still there.” Wang Xiao Liu’s eyes flickered with worry.
Back then, he had wanted to bring honor to his family, ignoring his family’s pleas, rushing out to join a sect.
But after so many years with nothing to show for it, Wang Xiao Liu felt regret.
“It’s okay. Let’s go…”
