It’s Lonely To Be Invincible

Chapter 167 - You Guys Have Really Been Dawdling



Chapter 167: You Guys Have Really Been Dawdling

“Three Leaf Town isn’t too far.”

Lin Fan took the children and started walking into the distance. From the children themselves, he came to know that their hometown was Three Leaf Town. Fortunately, they were familiar with the territory of the Magnificent Flame Sect, otherwise, Lin Fan would have no idea how to get there.

The Divine Religion is getting more and more active. They even dare to do this kind of thing in broad daylight. I must report it to Teacher after returning to the sect.

Who is giving the Divine Religion such guts to be so active? And why can’t our sect root out these bastards completely?

I guess the internal and external troubles of the Magnificent Flame Sect aren’t as simple as I thought.

But why am I worried? I will just blow them up with one punch.

“Big Brother, I’m hungry.” After having walked for several hours, a little boy said with his thumb in his mouth.

“Hungry?” Lin Fan looked at the children. He might not have felt hungry and fatigued after walking for a few hours, but it was quite exhausting for the children.

Lin Fan directly caught a wild animal that just happened to be passing by ahead. The wild animal kept struggling. As far as the wild animal was concerned, it was just passing by, but it was caught nonetheless.

“Big Brother, you’re awesome.” All the children cheered in excitement when they saw a huge white hand fly out just as Lin Fan stretched his hand out.

Lin Fan smiled at the sight of this. The frog might not be here to praise me, but I guess it’s not bad to have a group of children.

“Very well, you little beasts are in luck. I will let you have a barbecue you have never eaten before.” Lin Fan smiled and took out the pan. He lit up the Cyan Abyssal Flames on the ground with a flick of his fingers. Next, he took out some seasonings, spread them on the pan, cut pieces of meat, and put them on the pan, one by one.

Zi Zi Zi!

As the meat sizzled in the pan, a faint fragrance tickled everyone’s noses.

The children immediately gathered around, watching the pan intently. Some of them had saliva dripping down the corners of their mouths as if they couldn’t wait.

Magnificent Flame Sect:

A group of elders were discussing in the depths of the sect.

There weren’t just the two elders Tian Xu and Huo Rong in the sect. There were nine top elders. However, they usually cultivated deep inside the sect; they would usually never appear.

And those who maintained the order of the sect were ordinary elders. All those elders once used to be inner disciples. They had become ordinary elders after various levels of assessments. Now, they managed the affairs of the sect and the disciples.

Today, the eight top elders were staring at the patriarch.

“The religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect is about to arrive. There must be a reason why they want to take Liu Ruochen to the Saint Convent Sect,” an elder with a shriveled body said. His skin was just like the bark of a tree, filled with dense lines.

This was Elder Kumu, one of the top elders of the sect. He was cultivating a very advanced skillset. He had now fused his essence, spirit, and energy with his body completely. They were hiding inside his body. But if he let them loose, it would be completely earth-shattering.

[TLN: Kumu means dry wood.]

“Patriarch, Tian Xu – that old croak – has assaulted three peak leaders of the sect just for a dead disciple. Our Magnificent Flame Sect was already lagging behind other sects, and now he has restricted the three most amazing disciples. This has caused the hearts of the other disciples to grow cold,” an old man, who was radiating a terrifying pressure, said.

Huo Rong glared at him immediately. “Ge Lian, what are you talking about? Isn’t it Jun Wutian, whom you have been supporting all the while, suffering? Do you want the patriarch to punish Tian Xu? Not to mention, even if it were ten, a hundred, or even a thousand Jun Wutians, they could not compare to one Tian Xu.”

Ge Lian’s face darkened upon hearing this. I admit that I have been supporting Jun Wutian. But now that he is being suppressed by that old croak Tian Xu, everyone is too afraid of speaking out. What nonsense! This will really force the core force of the sect away!

“Huo Rong, as an elder of the sect, you are not thinking about the sect. You only care about your personal feelings. If you force the three peak leaders to leave the Magnificent Flame Sect because of Tian Xu, you and Tian Xu will have to answer for it.” Ge Lian looked about. “Aren’t you guys thinking the same?”

The other elders kept silent about this. They all were supporting a candidate, more or less. Whatever may be the case, they had nothing to do with Jun Wutian. Instead, they turned their gazes at the patriarch, waiting to see what decision the patriarch would make.

“Alright, there is nothing to talk about. Tian Xu is grieving at the moment. He is acting due to a momentary lapse in his judgement. He will eventually straighten himself out and naturally stop. We are currently discussing why the religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect is coming here. The Saint Convent Sect is the world’s best sect, and now, their hands are reaching here. I’m afraid the religious brother’s visit isn’t that simple.” The patriarch remained silent for a moment before speaking. The surrounding elders looked old, only he looked like a middle-aged man.

As the patriarch of the sect, everything he did was to make the sect stronger.

Huo Rong said, “Tian Xu once told me that the bloodline of disciple Liu Ruochen is a bit special and could not have appeared in the Magnificent Flame Sect. I think that the Saint Convent Sect has sent the religious brother to personally pick her up because they know what bloodline Liu Ruochen has.”

“Sigh, I’m ashamed to be the patriarch. If Emperor Yanhua was still alive, he would have shaken the Saint Convent Sect with his great power even if our sect is weak. But I, on the other hand, am walking on thin ice. Just a visit of their religious brother has made us…” The patriarch heaved a sigh before he could finish the sentence.

The same went for the other elders. Although they hadn’t seen Emperor Yanhua’s true appearance, they also knew how overbearing Emperor Yanhua was.

“When the Magnificent Flame Sect was just founded, several elders of the Saint Convent Sect came to give their congratulations but also to secretly investigate. At the ceremony, the elders of the Saint Convent Sect were arrogant and made ill remarks. Emperor Yanhua suppressed them on the spot. Even when the Holy Lord came to rescue his people, his clone was cut down on the spot. How domineering and majestic Emperor Yanhua was!” Although an elder had never seen Emperor Yanhua, he still remembered that deed.

“But Patriarch doesn’t need to blame himself. Over the years, Patriarch has inspired the Magnificent Flame Sect to be strong. The Magnificent Flame Sect is thriving. We will definitely catch up with the Saint Convent Sect in a century.” An elder who had been silent all the while finally spoke.

At this moment, a rift appeared in the air as a figure walked out from inside.

“So what if the religious brother is coming here? You guys are degrading more and more. Liu Ruochen was born with rebellious bones. Now that the dignitaries of the Saint Convent Sect are coming to take her away, why can’t our Magnificent Flame Sect give them even one person?” Tian Xu appeared before everyone.

Ge Lian, who had been talking bad about Tian Xu, kept silent. He didn’t want to have an argument with the current Tian Xu.

“Tian Xu, you are finally here. Have you straightened your thoughts?” Huo Rong asked with a smile.

It would be good if Tian Xu has straightened his thoughts. After all, the dead can’t come back to life. We must look at the big picture.

“Straightened my thoughts!? Impossible, I came because I couldn’t watch you dawdling like this. Where has your bearing of patriarch and elder gone? I’ll kill those three as long as they step out of the sect, definitely.” He then looked at Ge Lian. “If you want to protect Jun Wutian, then fight me. This old man guarantees that, whoever dares to stop me, I will not show him any mercy.”

Tian Xu’s figure disappeared immediately after speaking this.

Ge Lian’s face turned red in anger. He raised his hand, unable to hold his anger. “Did you see how lawless and rampant he is? Can he really be a responsible elder?”

Lin Fan distributed the pieces of roasted meat to the children and asked with a prideful look on his face, “How is it? Is it delicious?”

“It’s delicious.” The children had never eaten anything like this. Each of their faces was smeared with oil. And this little thing brought their relationship with Lin Fan closer.

It’s getting late.

It’s time to set off. If everything had gone right, I would have arrived at the sect already, but now it seems I will reach the sect the day after tomorrow at the very least.

“Kids, let’s go. I will send you back.” Lin Fan got up and put away his tool. These were all essential items for living after leaving the sect.

He couldn’t lose these things, even if he died.

The sky had grown dark already, but they were still a fair distance away from Three Leaves Town. I guess we should take a rest for the night and start walking tomorrow.

The night was completely peaceful.

Meanwhile, several figures appeared at the place where the ground had collapsed.

“It’s here. Xue Zhu and others’ auras disappeared here.”

“Damn it, who killed them? Could it have been done by the Magnificent Flame Sect?”

“My Lord, restrain your grief,” a follower came to a man in black and consoled.

The man in black raised his hand and crushed the follower’s head without giving him a moment to think.

“My furnace, someone actually killed my furnace! As long as I know who it was, he will definitely die!” the man in black cried in a dark and gloomy voice. His angry voice spread through the entire woods. Some of the wild animals in the vicinity scrambled away in shock immediately upon hearing it.

The next day, at Three Leaves Town…

Lin Fan stood at the entrance of the town, gazing at the adults who were frantically looking around, searching for the lost children. When they saw the children come back, they all cried in joy.

“Thank you, my Lord, thank you very much,” the old mayor thanked Lin Fan on everyone’s behalf.

“There is no need to thank me. As a disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect, it’s my job to protect you,” said Lin Fan. At this moment, he felt mentally relaxed. Furthermore, he didn’t feel that he had done anything cruel to the enemy. In his opinion, he was fighting evil.

The children, who were picked up by the adults, looked at leaving Lin Fan and shouted, “Thank you, Big Brother.”

Basking in the glory of the sun, Lin Fan turned around with a smile and waved his hands.

“Kids, you better be good.”

“Okay.”
