Chapter 278: Heaven sect palace

“Damn it. How is the Divine Religion going to do without the beads?”

Sir Xuelian pondered hard. Thinking about how badly Jun Wutian lost made him unhappy.

“You’re such trash. How can you be defeated so easily when I already made you almost immortal? Why should I let you live if you’re not useful?”

However, Sir Xuelian didn’t give up. He continued to look around the lava stream as he didn’t believe the Magnificent Flame Sect disciple had actually died.

In the boiling lava, a body was dismembered again and again.

Lin Fan knew that it was still unsafe for him to make his way out now. Thus he chose to wait, as staying in the lava stream would be safest for now. ~ I’ll just keep reviving.~

After a whole night.

A pair of hands could be seen grabbing on the shores as a person climbed out of the lava, entirely naked. He shivered as a cold wind blew.

Lin Fan immediately took out clothes from his storage ring.

~Luckily, I have spare clothes, or I don’t know how I’ll leave.~

“This is so terrifying. I found out the Divine Religion’s secret! Their guardian isn’t that loyal, after all. He would be a good person to trick.”

~Sir Xuelian might be powerful, but when I suggested that he could be the Pope instead, he raised his brows, which shows that he was tempted.~

~But the Pope might be a very influential person, so nobody dared to go against him.~

“Hehe, Sir Xuelian, we will meet again.”

~So this is where the Divine Religion’s Eighth District’s headquarters are. But since it’s destroyed, they will definitely change their location.~

~I might find more Divine Religion followers if I wait here. But it’s too dangerous. The chances of me being discovered is too great.~

“Retreat!”

Misty city.

Frog and Old black followed Lin Fan’s instructions and waited for him patiently.

The frog spent his time on the city wall, staring at the sky and doing nothing.

On the other hand, Old black worked with the Mayor and others to look for Divine Religion followers lurking in the city,

It was difficult for the Mayor to tell the detect a Divine Religion follower. Still, with Old black’s, a Dark Nether Python’s strong senses, they were able to identify the Divine Religion followers.

They caught about twenty in total.

“Thank you so much.” The Mayor turned to Old black and the frog in gratitude.

Qing Xuan was the Magnificent Flame Sect disciple who was in charge of guarding Misty city. He was worried sick and went forward to asked Old Black and frog who was the person who entered the whirlpool.

But Old black and frog knew nothing other than he was from the Magnificent Flame sect.

Hearing this, Qing Xuan knew that Lin Fan might have a high status in the sect.

“Old black, frog.”

Suddenly, a voice could be heard ringing from afar.

“That’s fast.” Hearing the voice, the frog jumped up in shock. ~Why is he so fast. I thought he would at least take ten days to two weeks!~

On the other hand, Old black wasn’t as surprised. As a servant, he was prepared for Lin Fan’s return anytime.

And after this short period, he understood that the world was now in the era of sects. It was new to him.

What shocked him even more were the citizens who didn’t cultivate.

Which was totally impossible in the past.

Back then, everyone cultivated. Now, it seems like time had changed. Old black and frog were unable to get used to it.

“Master.” Old black said, welcoming Lin Fan back.

“Mhmm.” Lin Fan nodded.

“Master, welcome back. I know that master is the best. These guys’ abilities aren’t even half of master’s!” The frog shouted loudly.

“Qing Xuan greets senior brother.”

“Be more cautious in the future. It’s not good to be too soft-hearted.” Lin Fan nodded.

“Yes.” Qing Xuan nodded. However, he still felt that all lives were precious, and they could turn over a new leaf even if they had turned into a Divine Religion follower.

Of course, Lin Fan didn’t know his thoughts. But it wasn’t important to Lin Fan, as these people would only understand after some suffering.

“Greetings, Senior brother Lin.” The Mayor came over. He was very respectful, as if not for him, the consequences would be horrible.

“The Divine Religion is acting more and more frequently. Keep your guards up and check those entering the city carefully.” Not wanting to stay at the Misty city any longer, Lin Fan reminded him and prepared to leave.

“Yes.” The Mayor nodded.

~Now that I have nothing else, I’ll make my way back to the sect. I’ve gained a lot on this trip.~

The Divine Religion’s guardian is indeed powerful. I’ll need to be more careful when I come across them the next time.

“Let’s go.”

Old black’s strong aura could be felt, and the frog jumped onto Lin Fan’s shoulder. Lin Fan opened a space tunnel and the group left.

The Mayor. “I forgot to ask for his name.”

…

Magnificent Flame Sect.

The sect that was usually bustling with activity now held a depressing atmosphere.

Disciples could be seen gathering in groups.

“Have you heard? The Heavenly sect palace is here.”

“What’s the Heavenly sect palace?”

“It’s a group formed by many powerful sects. They aren’t part of any sect, but they stay connected and focus on maintaining peace between sects.”

“So the Heaven sect palace’s Enforcer is here looking for an explanation?”

“What explanation do they want? There’s nothing the Magnificent Flame Sect did wrong.”

“I heard that they came for Senior brother Lin. He killed numerous Elephant god sect disciples during their invasion of the Titan Sect. Unhappy about this, the Elephant god sect filed a complaint to the Heavenly sect palace.”

“So shameless. They were the ones who invaded the Titian Sect. Where do they get the face to complain about their disciples’ death?”

“I heard that Senior brother Lin killed them despite the war coming to an end. That’s the reason the Elephant God sect gave when filing a complaint.”

The Invincible peak.

Lu Qiming looked at the sky, worry written all over his face. He knew that the Heavenly sect palace was here, and he was worried about Lin Fan.

Even though Lin Fan still hadn’t yet returned, the Heavenly sect palace was currently discussing with the Magnificent Flame Sect elders.

“Senior brother Lu, are you still worried about Senior Brother Lin?” Wang Fu asked.

“Yeah. This isn’t a simple matter. It’s obvious that the Elephant God sects want an answer, seeing how they got the Heaven sect palace’s Enforcer involved.”

Hearing this, Wang Fu boiled with anger. “The Heavenly sect palace is a toxic organization controlled by the powerful sects. They didn’t stop the Elephant god sect from invading the Titan sect, yet they act like a whiny kid after Senior brother Lin killed some Elephant god sect disciples. This is so unfair.”

“If I had the ability, I’d definitely wipe out the Heavenly sect palace.”

Hearing this, Lu Qiming’s face fell. “Shut up! Do you want to get into trouble? If others hear you and report it to the Heavenly sect palace, you’ll be in huge trouble.”

“Yes. I understand, senior brother.” Wang Fu nodded, but he was still angry with the Heavenly sect palace and Elephant God sect. ~How dare they find trouble with senior brother Lin? This is unreasonable. Why should even the Heaven sect palace be around?~

In the main palace.

Elder Jia Ye from the Elephant God Sect was currently standing in the middle of the palace, shouting. “I won’t tolerate that kid! He has to pay for killing so many innocent disciples!”

He then turned to the Heaven sect palace’s Enforcer. “Enforcer, please enact justice.”

“How could you kill my sect’s disciples when we already stopped the war?”

The Heaven sect palace’s Enforcer was a middle-aged man. He had a calm aura, but he held powerful energy in him. Hearing Elder Jia Ye, he nodded. “Yes, if it’s true, he would have to be punished.”

“Elder Tian Xu, the suspect is your disciple. Is there anything you wish to say?”

Tian Xu sat on his seat, caressing his beard slowly. He took a sip of his tea and closed his eyes, ignoring them.

Seeing this, Elder Jia Ye couldn’t hold his anger back anymore. “Tian Xu, what do you mean by this? Are you going to shield your disciple?”

“No.” Tian Xu spoke and remained silent again.

“Then why are you keeping silent? Are you going to deny this matter?” Elder Jia Ye said, trying to hold back his anger.

“Oh.” Tian Xu replied.

“You…..” Ye Jia shouted, glaring at him.

Suddenly, the Heavenly Sect palace’s Enforcer raised his hand. “Elder Jia Ye. Please calm down. This is an important matter.”

“Elder Tian Xu, please call your disciple out. I have some questions for him.”

“My disciple left for a trip some time ago.” Tian Xu said. “He might be in seclusion somewhere. He might be gone a year, or maybe three to four before he returns.”

“Impossible! I don’t believe that you can’t find him!” Elder Jia Ye jumped up instantly. He turned to the Enforcer angrily, shaking with anger. “My innocent disciples died wrongfully! There’s wasn’t even a body left! How am I suitable to be their elder if I can’t even get them an explanation for their deaths?”

Suddenly, a sneer could be heard.

“Jia Ye, if you dare to make a fuss in this sect, I’ll make sure that you don’t leave.” Tian Xu turned to Jia Ye calmly.

Jia ye flushed red with anger immediately. “Enforcer. Look, this is the Magnificent Flame Sect’s elder. He’s threatening to kill me right in front of you. I’m going to take a step out now. Let’s see what you dare to do.”

As soon as he finished his words.

Jia Ye walked towards the door. He took a step, ready to step out of the door, but he stopped in his tracks immediately.

He then turned to Tian Xu to realize that Tian Xu had remained seated calmly.

Jia Ye gulped and stepped back. He turned around and went back to his seat. “I believe that the enforcer will be able to give my disciples an explanation.”

The Enforcer shook his head helplessly. “Elder Tian Xu, please…..”

“Master, I’m back.”

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Tian Xu’s eyes widened upon hearing the voice. He was in shock and even had the urge to give Lin Fan a scolding. ~This bitch. Why did he come back now?~

~If he didn’t, I could drag on and forcefully make these people leave.~

~But it’s not that easy anymore.~
