The disciples were shocked. Senior Brother Lin had unleashed his power and defeated the religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect. They thought it was over, but Senior Brother Lin still wanted to suppress the three peaks.
Some time ago, news of Senior Brother Lin's death had spread to the sect. Originally, it wasn't anything earth-shattering, but the assassins who had assassinated Senior Brother Lin were four first-class inner disciples.
First-class inner disciples had a high status in the sect, and they were considered the mainstay of the sect. To send a first-class inner disciple out of the sect to assassinate a fellow disciple, the mastermind behind the scenes must be extraordinary.
Now that Senior Brother Lin had returned, he naturally had to get to the bottom of this matter.
To any disciple, there were too many things happening in the sect this year, and every single one of them was a big deal.
A powerful aura enveloped the three peaks as a domineering voice resounded in the ears of all the disciples. The three peaks that were initially calm suddenly erupted with three powerful auras, stirring up the clouds and shaking the Heavens and Earth.
Three rays of light came from afar.
"Lin Fan, don't go too far!" Wan Zhongtian roared in rage. His emotions were not anger, but his heart was filled with indignance and helplessness. What did this have to do with him?
Previously, he was suppressed by Elder Tian Xu, and he did not dare to leave the sect. He had to stay in Zhongtian Peak to cultivate.
The religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect came to the sect to show off his power. Even though he was on par with him, so what? The Saint Convent Sect was still the Saint Convent Sect, the number one sect in the world. He would only be humiliating himself if he came out.
But he had seen everything that had just happened. Lin Fan had grown, and he was no longer the person he could crush easily.
Even the religious brother was suppressed by a single punch. Even I might not be a match for him.
Anger could be seen in Jun Wutian's eyes. In terms of strength, he was stronger than the religious brother, but the sect was too weak. Even if he could suppress the religious brother, he did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Lin Fan's lawlessness and suppression of the religious brother had left an indelible impression in their hearts. There was only one thought in their minds now.
Lin Fan had grown, and it was impossible to suppress him.
Even without Elder Tian Xu's reputation, no one in the ten peaks would be able to gain the upper hand in terms of strength, not to mention the fact that Elder Tian Xu was backing him up.
Damn it, they didn't know when this guy had appeared in their line of sight. Their dignity was actually being challenged by someone else, and he was even suppressing them to the point where they couldn't even raise their heads.
Lin Fan placed his hands behind his back and looked at them proudly. "You guys are finally out."
Now that he had unleashed his full combat power, if he didn't establish his prestige in the sect, it would be a waste of his outburst this time. Although his cultivation was only in the sixth stage of the Earth Star Border Realm, his combat power was no longer inferior to them. In fact, he was even stronger than them.
The eleventh peak would establish itself. This was a reality that no one could stop.
Zhan Hongdi's face turned cold. He might be suppressed by Tian Xu, but it didn't mean that anyone could suppress him. He took a step forward, and the Iron Blood War Flag flew in the air. A murderous aura swept across the entire area. It was as if a fierce war had just broken out in his eyes. Sounds of battle filled the air.
In the eyes of the disciples, Zhan Hongdi was the God of War. Just the fighting intent that he emitted was enough to instill fear in their hearts.
"Lin Fan, I have never met you before. There is no enmity between us. What are you trying to do?" Zhan Hongdi's voice was loud and clear like the rumbling of a war drum.
To an ordinary disciple, just his voice alone was enough to make their blood boil. It was hard for them to resist.
But to Lin Fan, this was just a small trick.
"Indeed, we have never met, but it's a pity that only the three of you are in the sect now. Today, I just want to know who instructed those four people to do this." Lin Fan said calmly.
"How can you be so unreasonable? You don't even have any evidence, yet you blame it on the three of us. If no one admits it, are you going to kill the three of us?" Zhan Hongdi harrumphed coldly. As the Peak Leader of the Great Emperor Peak, he had never suffered such humiliation. How could he be questioned by a junior in front of so many disciples? If this news were to spread, how would he be able to threaten the disciples?
Lin Fan grinned and stared at the three with his blood-red eyes. "You're right. Either I kill one of you today, or I'll kill the three of you."
Hearing this, the disciples were shocked. They did not expect Senior Brother Lin to be so domineering. They were the peak leaders of the three peaks, and they were no ordinary people.
Elder Huo Rong had been trying to stop this, but he could feel an aura locking onto him. He already knew who this aura belonged to. Who else could it be other than Tian Xu?
Lin Fan had no idea what Tian Xu was trying to do. Does he really want to watch the sect suffer losses and disciples die in front of him?
Or perhaps, he was paving the way for his precious disciple to establish his prestige. And the target of this prestige was the three peak masters.
Wan Zhongtian, who had been silent all this while, was screaming in his heart. All he wanted was to be the peak leader and rule over his Junior Brothers, being the superior Senior Brother.
He knew that his cultivation was the lowest among the ten peaks. He had to use his full strength even when facing the religious brother, and he might not even win, let alone Lin Fan, who suppressed the religious brother with a punch.
"Lin Fan, I might have some conflict with you, but it's just a small conflict. I will never send someone to kill you. I hate Liu Ruochen for betraying the sect and joining the Saint Convent Sect. What a waste of my eyes." Wan Zhongtian took a step forward, looking weaker than before.
He no longer had the will to fight Lin Fan. He might not have been there, but he had seen everything.
No one could compare to Lin Fan's ferocious might, especially when he grabbed the religious brother and smashed him into a bloody mess. Wan Zhongtian did not want that to happen.
He did not think that the three of them would be able to suppress Lin Fan if a conflict broke out. Instead, he had a feeling that the three of them would be completely annihilated by Lin Fan.
They might not be killed, but they would definitely embarrass themselves in front of the disciples.
With Elder Tian Xu's support, it wouldn't be difficult for Lin Fan to become the eleventh peak leader. By then, what else could he use to fight Lin Fan?
Zhan Hongdi looked at Wan Zhongtian with disdain. "Wan Zhongtian, you are a coward."
Wan Zhongtian was unhappy and even a little embarrassed. He was indeed scared, but as a peak leader, how could he admit it in front of so many disciples?
"I'm not scared, it's the truth. I, Wan Zhongtian, am a man of indomitable spirit. Even if I lose, I will never send someone to assassinate a fellow sect member. This is shameful and hateful."
Lin Fan smiled and looked at Wan Zhongtian. He raised his finger and said, "Stand aside. You have no business here anymore."
Wan Zhongtian heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his fists. "Thank you for your trust. I, Wan Zhongtian, am not that kind of person."
Lin Fan shook his head. "You're thinking too much. It's not that I trust you, but you're too cowardly. With your cowardice, you wouldn't dare to do it even if I gave you ten guts."
"You …." Wan Zhongtian gritted his teeth. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to.
"Why?" Lin Fan stared at him coldly. "Do you think that I'm slandering you? If you're not convinced, you can continue standing here. Killing two or three is the same. It doesn't matter if there's one more or one less. "
"It's just that you're too cowardly. I'm afraid that killing you will dirty my hands. If you don't want to die, then scram. If you dare to say anything else, I'll kill you first."
Lin Fan spoke arrogantly. Disdain could be seen in his eyes. He did not take Wan Zhongtian seriously at all.
He used to think that Wan Zhongtian was strong, but now, he was just so-so. He could kill a religious brother with one punch. Perhaps he could smash Wan Zhongtian into pieces with half a punch.
Tian Xu stood on the peak. The soil beside him bulged slightly, and a figure could be seen.
"Tian Xu, your disciple is very arrogant, but we know that you're using the three of them to establish the eleventh peak in the sect. We won't object to this, but you have to compensate Jun Wutian, Zhan Hongdi, and Wan Zhongtian." Tian Xu looked at Tian Xu coldly. The old man's body was yellow in color. He seemed to have cultivated some skillset that allowed him to become one with the earth, using the earth's energy to cultivate.
"Compensate?" Tian Xu shook his head. "Earth Emperor, you're thinking too much. All my compensation is for my disciple. No one else has the right or ability to take it from me."
"As for making use of the three peak leaders? You're too naive. Today, one of the three peak leaders will die in the sect. "
The Earth Emperor's face fell. "Tian Xu, what are you trying to do? They're the pillars of the sect, the candidates for the patriarch. "
"It's useless even if they're candidates. They sent their fellow sect members to kill my disciple. His death date has long been decided." Tian Xu stroked his beard. His deep gaze covered everything.
"The patriarch will not allow it." The Earth Emperor said.
"It's not up to anyone. Go back and tell Senior Brother that I'll leave the sect with my disciple if I don't see any blood today. The world is so big. Do you think I have nowhere to go? I was ambushed, and I can't even take revenge. This old man has had enough of a sect like this a long time ago. "
"This is not something you should say with your current status." The Earth Emperor's face fell. He did not expect Tian Xu to say such words. If Tian Xu were to leave the sect, it would be a huge loss to the sect.
"Status? I'm not interested in being an elder. Sixty years ago, if Senior Brother didn't ask me to stay and help him, I would have left long ago. " He then raised his hand. "Go and tell Senior Brother what I said. This is the bottom line I'm giving him. As for what happens next, let him decide for himself."
"Today, one of the three peak leaders will die."
The Earth Emperor disappeared.
Tian Xu was still standing on the peak, not moving an inch. Everyone in the sect who was from the same generation as Tian Xu knew that he would be like Lin Fan when he got angry.
