Chapter 282: You All Truly Break My Heart.

Lin Fan never expected to encounter something so outrageously outrageous. If it were someone else committing such a vile act, he wouldn’t have been so furious. The most critical part was that these people were actually disciples of the Jiuxiao Sect.

What exactly was the Jiuxiao Sect? It was a sect on friendly terms with the Holy Sect, practically like family, and closely connected. Moreover, his own brother, Xin Feng, was a celebrated genius of the Jiuxiao Sect. For these people to commit such heinous and universally condemned acts was absolutely infuriating—how could they stoop so low and lose all sense of morality?

If someone were to wipe out an entire sect, Lin Fan wouldn’t have said much—after all, the Xuanhuang World was all about survival of the fittest. But such despicable behavior was beyond the pale. It was an utter disgrace to his brother and the sect itself.

To be honest, the truth was that Li Tianxing was just plain hideous. Lin Fan couldn’t stand watching that repulsive toad forcefully pursuing a graceful swan.

“Who’s there? Show yourself and stop hiding like a coward!” Li Tianxing halted, his face icy cold, eager to see who dared to interfere.

“Hmph! You beast, disgrace of the sect, a shame to heaven and earth!” At that moment, Lin Fan stormed out from the dense forest, filled with indignation.

His face was twisted with grief, as if his heart was breaking. Even the chicken on his shoulder shook its head sorrowfully, clearly sharing in Lin Fan’s sorrow.

Mu Han, seeing the newcomer, felt her heart tighten. Her expression turned slightly disappointed. So young…

Although one’s cultivation cultivation couldn’t always be judged by age, there was usually some correlation.

So young, even if he were a prodigy, he could at best be at the Lower Heaven Realm. Yet the Jiuxiao Sect’s thief before her was already at the Mid-Lower Heaven Realm.

The hope that had flickered across Mu Han’s beautiful face dimmed slightly, like a candle flickering in the wind.

“Haha!” At this moment, Li Tianxing burst into scornful laughter upon seeing Lin Fan. “Where did this brat come from, talking so big? Are you trying to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?”

Li Tianxing especially hated people like Lin Fan—the clean-cut scholar types who thought themselves the center of attention.

Lin Fan’s cultivation had been growing stronger, his vitality surging, and his appearance gradually changing. His aura had become more refined, and his every movement exuded an air that made others reluctant to look him directly in the eye.

“Are you a disciple of the Jiuxiao Sect?” Lin Fan stared mockingly at the pockmarked face before him, which was almost too hideous to bear. Even Er Gou standing beside him looked a hundred times better.

“Hmph, that’s right. You…” Li Tianxing sneered, but before he could finish, Lin Fan’s words enraged him completely.

“Wait, let me throw up first. You look way too much like a toad,” Lin Fan pretended to vomit, then glared at the man and pointed at him. “Pfft… You call yourself a Jiuxiao Sect disciple? You’re nothing but a disgrace to the Jiuxiao Sect!”

The female disciples of the Moon Palace Sect stared at Lin Fan in confusion, their only thought being: “Is this guy out of his mind? Can’t he see what kind of situation this is?”

Mu Han looked at Lin Fan with a sigh. This person was practically walking into his own doom.

Li Tianxing was at the Mid-Lower Heaven Realm, cunning and treacherous, a master of poisons. Even someone at the Upper Heaven Realm could fall victim to his schemes if careless.

Mu Han’s eyes were filled with despair. We’ve done our best… the Moon Palace Sect might soon vanish forever…

“Kid, today I’ll make you regret ever speaking out!” At that moment, Li Tianxing was furious. No one had ever dared to mock him so brazenly. Even the King of Heaven himself wouldn’t be able to save this guy today.

“Senior Brother Li, wait…” Just then, from among the Jiuxiao Sect disciples, a figure quickly stepped forward.

“Senior Brother Lin, what are you doing here?” The person who stepped forward from the Jiuxiao Sect was handsome and graceful—Feng Xiaoling, the most handsome disciple of the Jiuxiao Sect.

But right now, Feng Xiaoling’s expression was grim. He shot Lin Fan a meaningful glance, silently urging him not to provoke Li Tianxing further.

“Feng Junior Brother, is this how the Jiuxiao Sect behaves now?” Lin Fan, upon seeing him, recalled their past and asked bitterly.

In Lin Fan’s mind, Feng Xiaoling had once been a decent young man. How could he now be involved in such despicable deeds?

The female disciples of the Moon Palace Sect, who had previously looked at Lin Fan with pity, now turned furious. So they were in cahoots after all.

Feng Xiaoling looked awkward, unsure how to respond. This was a difficult situation to explain, but above all, he couldn’t let Senior Brother Lin clash with Li Tianxing.

Although Feng Xiaoling believed Lin Fan was strong, he wasn’t sure if Lin could defeat Li Tianxing.

“Senior Brother Li, this is…” Feng Xiaoling hurriedly tried to introduce, hoping Li Tianxing would calm down. But before he could finish, Lin Fan interrupted.

“Hmph! Feng Xiaoling, don’t call me Senior Brother. You’ve disappointed me greatly. You toad! I’ll tell you this—I am the sect leader of the Nameless Peak of the Holy Sect. By seniority, you should respectfully address me as Master Uncle. But with behavior like this, you’re not even worthy of being my junior disciple. You’ve disgraced the sect. And you, Feng Xiaoling, I once thought you had a bright future ahead. Yet you’ve stooped to such despicable acts. I’m deeply disappointed—deeply!”

Lin Fan’s sharp words stunned everyone present. The Jiuxiao Sect disciples stared at him in disbelief. They all knew about the great battle of the geniuses. After their senior brothers returned to the sect, they had widely praised the Holy Sect’s disciple Lin Fan.

He was kind, powerful, handsome, and had become close friends with Senior Brother Xin Feng after a legendary battle of talents. His reputation had spread far and wide.

The disciples of the Moon Palace Sect were equally stunned, unsure of what was happening.

Especially Mu Han, whose brows furrowed, sensing that things might not be as they seemed.

She knew of the Holy Sect, a mighty sect. If this person was the leader of the Nameless Peak, then his status was naturally exalted. Could it be that the Moon Palace Sect still had a chance?

At that moment, Mu Han looked at Lin Fan with urgent hope.

“Senior Brother Lin…” Feng Xiaoling tried to explain.

“Don’t explain. I don’t want to hear it.” Lin Fan waved his sleeve, his face filled with anger.

Feng Xiaoling nearly cried. Senior Brother Lin, couldn’t you at least let me finish?

“Hmph, brat, whoever you are, you must die today!” At that moment, Li Tianxing, who had been still, suddenly exploded in rage. He raised his palm and struck Lin Fan. Green toxic smoke rolled from his palm, as if a venomous spirit lurked within, snarling and roaring.

“Senior Brother Li, no!” Feng Xiaoling was horrified and rushed to stop him.

“Hmph, get out of the way!” At that moment, Lin Fan grabbed Feng Xiaoling and flung him aside. Feng Xiaoling was shocked as an irresistible force pulled him away, leaving him helpless.

“He’s so strong…” As Feng Xiaoling was thrown far away, that was the only thought in his mind.

“You disgrace of the Jiuxiao Sect, today I’ll clean up the sect’s mess.” At that moment, Lin Fan stood still, his robe fluttering without wind, his right hand raised high, exuding an overwhelming aura.

“Hmph! Poison Spirit Annihilation!” Li Tianxing roared furiously. Today, he would show this guy the true meaning of terror.

“Senior Brother Li, no!” Feng Xiaoling screamed desperately. He didn’t believe Lin Fan could possibly be Li Tianxing’s match.

The female disciples of the Moon Palace Sect also cried out in alarm, their faces changing drastically at the sight of the powerful toxic energy in that palm strike.

The surrounding flowers and grass withered instantly.

“Hmph!” At that moment, Lin Fan let out a cold snort, his eyes flashing with disdain. He raised his right hand high and then brought it down powerfully.
