Chapter 536: Excellent People Are So Popular
Lin Fan’s goal for heading out was simple: to just go with the flow. If he faced a certain sect, then he wouldn’t do much. At most, he would just diss them.
As for which sect he would look for, it would depend on luck.
Anyway, he wasn’t afraid of offending anyone.
He was someone who lived after defending You City. Logically speaking, he definitely didn’t like those sects and he didn’t feel any pressure at all.
One man and one bug walked happily on the small path and looked at the scenery around. They breathed the fresh air and were really casual with no worries at all.
He had grown to the top of the food chain, so naturally, there were no dangers, unlike before when he had to be extremely careful when heading out.
If anyone dared to block him in front of his face, he would smash their head.
Suddenly, sounds spread from all around.
“Stop, hand over all your money.” A few men holding blades and walked out. They jumped out, and they left deep footprints in the ground when they landed.
From these small details, one could tell that these robbers were people with some cultivation.
Lin Fan raised his head and looked at them calmly.
Nine Demon’s blinked its18 eyes. To Lin Fan, its expression was quite stunned, not caring about these people at all.
“Big Brother, this monster is a little terrifying.”
….
Peng!
Peng!
Peng!
In the distance, a person was running away.
Nine Demon stood on Lin Fan’s shoulder. Everything that happened had come out of nowhere.
Although it was just a small matter, to Lin Fan, it was quite unbearable. They jumped out in front of his face and said something so rude.
Thus, behind him, a few headless corpses were lying there silently.
They described the dreams that Lin Fan had completed to burst open their heads.
“Haiz, these were a pair of evil hands covered in fresh blood.” Lin Fan looked at his hands. It wasn’t so pure anymore. As expected, once one goes through society, things will become like this.
Thinking back to You City, his hairs were so pure, not only fresh blood, but he didn’t even need to kill a chicken before.
But now, forget it…
Forget it, just thinking about it made one feel unbearable.
His good life turned into this for no reason.
All of this was because of the Alliance. If not for their invasion, then such a thing wouldn’t have happened. It just made one feel helpless.
A few days later, during this period of time that Lin Fan was out, everyone lived their lives as usual with no problems. They lived as they wanted to with no effect at all.
As for the Alliance, naturally, there was no movement at all.
To see some things in a short time was impossible.
As for the power struggle in the Alliance, it seemed really calm, but the battles were really intense. Only the people involved knew how serious it was.
As for what happened on this end, the Alliance couldn’t care much.
On that day, Lin Fan faced some people. They were young men and women. Simply put, the men were handsome and the women were beautiful.
After all, they were from big sects and the weakest ones were mid-tier sects.
There were definitely reasons for how they knew one another.
When he pa.s.sed by a place that he thought was safe, he didn’t expect some eyeless monsters to block his way. Those monsters ate some treasure, cultivated, and then thought they were invincible.
Naturally, Lin Fan didn’t care about them and killed them all.
Those scenes were noticed by those young people.
As proud people, they didn’t want to talk to others around the same age, especially those without backers. But the moment they saw Lin Fan’s attacks, they were stunned.
Amazing, really amazing.
Lin Fan looked at these bunch of young friends and could tell that they were all from Celestial Alliance sects. He wanted to shoo them away, but who knew that they would walk over and seem interested in him.
“Brother, are you joining the Celestial Alliance’s top 10 disciple selection?”
To Lin Fan, it wasn’t that this event was attractive, but it was something that young people talked about.
He didn’t like his current situation.
He was so young and he had to take on burdens that others couldn’t.
Martial Path Mountain Sect Leader, wiping out top sects, fighting the Alliance nine-star generals, etc.
All of this was shocking, dangerous, and uncertain.
It wasn’t something that someone of his age should have been involved in.
This was why he smiled and asked.
“That’s right.”
Although he didn’t know where the event was, as long as he followed them, it would be fine.
Five guys and three girls.
Su Jing was one of the guys talking. He was a disciple from Fallen Celestial Sect.
This Fallen Celestial Sect wasn’t a top sect and was just above average. It was a little away from the top sect.
Lin Fan felt that he was famous but these young people didn’t recognize him. This made Lin Fan feel that his reputation was only known among the higher-ups and normal people didn’t know him.
Today, Lin Fan told them that his name was Lin Xiaofan. He just added one more name.
As for the compet.i.tion he was about to join, it was a huge sparring even that Celestial Alliance held every three years.
Before Celestial Alliance was formed, there was nothing like this. But the sects were close to one another and naturally they didn’t play with sects like Xiedao Sect who they saw as evil.
They had such a huge compet.i.tion to select the geniuses from the younger generations. From there they would be rewarded and given treasures from the top 10 sects.
Some pills, treasures, top techniques, etc.
Su Jing’s cultivation was at mid grandmaster realm. Lin Fan was more low profile and said that he was Initial Grandmaster. He wasn’t high nor low. It was just nice.
That night, Lin Fan sat there. The others surrounded the flames and barbecued something while talking.
“Brother Lin, this is for you.”
A girl walked over. This girl was from Female Sect. Her cultivation was decent and was at Master Realm.
Lin Fan noticed that her gaze towards him was a little off.
“Thank you Junior Sister Zhou Ruo.” Lin Fan picked up the meat and smiled gently.
Zhou Ruo’s cheeks turned red and she stood far away in embarra.s.sment.
The people sitting around all laughed.
As expected, a top guy would be welcomed no matter where he was.
Who cared whether you believed it or not? Anyway, Lin Fan felt that he was amazing.
Lin Fan didn’t fight them as there was no need to. Anyway, the outcome would be the same: he would suppress all of them. All the disciples of the four alliances were the same.
As for this little girl who liked him, that was impossible.
“Haiz.”
Suddenly, Su Jing sighed, “The situation is not too clear. I don’t know what the sects are thinking to have internal conflicts at such a time.”
“Brother Su is right. The Alliance is staring at us aggressively. Now that the sects formed the four alliances and the seniors at the borders are unknown, if I am the sect leader, I wouldn’t do something so useless. I will lead the sect to join the border to force the Alliance back. Unfortunately, it is too late.”
“I heard that a huge battle occured at the border last time. It was so terrifying and many people died because of the Alliance.”
“Truthfully, all of this was decided by the sect leader and the elders. Even if we have thoughts it is useless. We can only train hard and gain power in the future.”
Lin Fan didn’t expect these people to actually discuss the Alliance War.
He was instantly interested.
“You are all sect disciples, so why worry so much? Isn’t it good to just survive in the sect?” Lin Fan said.
Su Jing said, “Brother Lin’s words are false. Sects exist only because we haven’t been invaded. If the Alliance occupies our land, they will slowly swallow us up. Only jokers will continue defending sects.”
Then, he seemed to think about something.
He smiled.
“Brother Lin, don’t blame me. Maybe your sect has its own thoughts. What I said was just my own thoughts.”
Su Jing’s words were the thoughts of everyone here.
They might not have been born in a sect but they were people who wanted to find suitable sects for their cultivation.
But the sect prevented them from discussing such things and cultivation was the only choice.
This was why they discussed among themselves the secrets that few people knew about.
Lin Fan smiled, “That is okay. I think that all of you are right. If the sects had worked with the border, then there would be nothing that the Alliance could do.”
Su Jing didn’t say anything and just nodded in agreement with Lin Fan’s words.
Another person said, “Brother Lin is right. The Alliance really couldn’t do anything. No matter what, our internal conflicts are our problem and have nothing to do with outsiders.
“Okay, okay, let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about something else.” Su Jing interrupted and told them not to talk nonsense. Although Lin Xiaofan seemed nice, they had only known him for a short while and didn’t know his background. If their sect heard that, they would have been punished.
The others weren’t fools and they stopped as they understood Su Jing’s words.
Lin Fan smiled. He saw through their thoughts.
But this short conversation tempted Lin Fan a little.
He wiped out all the sects without a care.
He wasn’t a person who liked to kill and was just annoyed with the sects.
Now, it seemed like for the normal disciples, they had their own thoughts. But they were young and had no status and positions in their sect. There was nothing they could do; they could only accept the sect’s control and instructions.
It seemed like he had to pay attention to the future.
