Wei City.
The Magnificent Flame Sect was a city bordering the underworld. The city was surrounded by water, forming a natural barrier. The citizens of the Magnificent Flame Sect would usually travel on giant boats. Most of the citizens relied on fishing for a living.
Although the city bordered the underworld, it was rarely attacked because of the river.
A giant boat was docked at the Wei City harbor. The boat was more than ten meters long and looked majestic. It stopped at the harbor like a giant.
Two rows of disciples dressed in dark blue robes with very cold expressions stood in two rows, like long spears, standing perfectly straight in front of them.
"All children are not allowed to cry. Get on the boat in an orderly manner." A middle-aged man with a strong aura spoke. His voice was loud like a bell, shaking the entire harbor.
The ordinary citizens were comforting their children.
"Be good and study hard. Come back to see your mother in the future." A woman held her child's hand and sent him to the queue.
She was reluctant, but there was nothing she could do. This was the mayor's order. Every family had to send a child to the Iron Sword Academy to cultivate.
The allowance was generous, but no family would be willing to send their children to the faraway Iron Sword Academy.
After ten years of learning, no one knew if they would still be able to see the academy after ten years.
Two men stood at the bow of the giant boat.
One of them was an old man. His body was bent, but his eyes were not cloudy. They were even shining brightly.
The middle-aged man beside him was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary aura.
"Mayor Wei, you have done a great job this time." The old man said calmly. Looking at the long queue, a bright smile could be seen on his wrinkled face.
As the mayor of Wei City, Wei Long naturally had great authority. He was calm as he faced the old man. "It's just a small matter."
Suddenly!
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Brother, don't go." A four-year-old child, wearing a small tiger hat and cloth shoes, ran out from the crowd, his tender voice filled with reluctance.
In the crowd, there was a little boy who was only eight years old. When he saw his little brother, he couldn't help but smile. "Little Hu, wait for big brother to come back from learning."
The old man's eyes lit up when he saw the child with the tiger hat. "This child is not bad."
When Wei Long heard this, he nodded and stood at the bow of the boat. He said, "Let's go to the Iron Sword Hall together."
At this time, a couple ran out and said reluctantly, "City Lord, he's still young and can't go. Let's wait until he's older."
Wei Long frowned. "Hmph, now that the Sunshine Sect has their eyes on us, what's wrong with letting our children learn from a young age? Don't you understand this?"
Little Tiger shouted, "Mother, I want to learn martial arts with Big Brother."
This time, every family in the city had to send a child. If the child was the only child, then the only child would participate. As such, the citizens in the city complained a lot.
However, since the city lord had issued an order, they had no choice but to obey.
Moreover, the City Lord had said that he would be going to the Iron Sword Hall to learn martial arts and would return in ten years. Thus, many people were hopeful that ten years would pass very quickly.
Suddenly, a voice boomed out from the void.
"What are you guys doing?"
Lin Fan had left the Sunshine Sect's territory and entered the Magnificent Flame Sect. He wanted to return to the sect immediately, but he was attracted by the situation below.
Especially when he saw so many children queuing up to board the boat. This made him even more confused.
"Who is it?" Wei Long immediately went on guard. When he saw the figure standing in the air, his heart sank. This person must be above the Earth Star Border Stage Seven.
Why would there be such an elite in a border city?
When the old man saw the figure in the air, his eyes narrowed. At the same time, he could feel that this person's aura was strong and extraordinary.
"I'm Wei Long, the mayor of Wei City. Greetings, Lord of the Magnificent Flame Sect." Wei Long could tell that the person was a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple from his attire. He was confused. Why would a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple be here?
"Old man, who are you?" Lin Fan asked. The only people with decent cultivation here were Wei Long and the old man.
As for the others, they were all ants, not even worth mentioning.
The old man walked out with a smile on his face. "I'm the leader of the Iron Sword Academy's Hall of Disciples, Xiao Zhen."
"Iron Sword Academy?" Lin Fan tried to recall what kind of organization this Iron Sword Academy was.
After all, the Magnificent Flame Sect was vast and had many organizations. It was a little messy, and there was no unified management. It seemed that as long as there was a Heaven Star Border cultivator in charge, they would be able to teach.
Even now, when the Magnificent Flame Sect was in trouble, some Earth Star Border cultivators were learning to teach disciples. It was very messy.
Since I can't remember, I'll stop thinking about it.
"What are you guys doing?"
Ever since he came back from the Sunshine Sect, he had been on guard. If the Magnificent Flame Sect could infiltrate the Sunshine Sect, then the Sunshine Sect could infiltrate the Magnificent Flame Sect too.
Therefore, when he encountered such suspicious things, he had to do something about it.
He was a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple, and these people were his citizens. How could he leave them be?
"Lord, the Iron Sword Sect is accepting disciples." Wei Long cupped his fists.
"Oh, accepting disciples? Is this how you accept disciples? I don't remember the Magnificent Flame Sect's rules saying that they are forced to accept disciples, right? "Lin Fan looked down. If the two of them dared to make a move, he would kill them immediately.
"Lord, the Sunshine Sect is now eyeing us like a tiger watching its prey. As the mayor of Wei City, I am worried as well. I want to train more disciples for the Magnificent Flame Sect so that we can fight against the Sunshine Sect in the future. That's why I sent these children to the Metal Sword Sect to cultivate."
Wei Long did not expect this Magnificent Flame Sect disciple to be so difficult to deal with. He had so many questions, but judging from his cultivation, it was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with. Wei Long could only hope to chase him away.
"Are you worried?" "What the hell are you talking about? Even the Magnificent Flame Sect doesn't force children to cultivate. As a city lord, how dare you force the children of the citizens to leave their parents? You are overstepping your boundaries." Lin Fan laughed, and his tone turned stern. "What the hell are you talking about? Even the Magnificent Flame Sect doesn't force children to cultivate.
"Lord..."
Lin Fan waved his hands. He walked up to the eight-year-old child and patted his head. "Kid, tell me, do you want to leave your family?"
The child looked up at Lin Fan and the little tiger in the distance. "Lord, I don't want to leave," he said softly.
"Alright, go back. You should enjoy your family when you are young. You can only cultivate when you are thirteen. How can it be so early?" Lin Fan patted the child's head. "Go."
"Thank you, Lord." The child thanked Lin Fan respectfully and ran away.
When he passed by the guard in dark blue, the guard's face turned cold. He reached out and grabbed the child. "Hall Leader, you are not allowed to leave without my permission."
Bang!
The guard was sent flying by a force and fell into the river. His blood dyed the river red.
"What? Are you guys trying to rebel? "Lin Fan stared at the crowd coldly. He then jumped onto the boat." Iron Sword Academy? Alright, let's go to your headquarters. I want to see who broke the rules of the Magnificent Flame Sect by forcing children of a few years old to learn martial arts. "
Xiao Zhen's face changed. He did not expect the Magnificent Flame Sect disciple to attack without any hesitation. He did not hold back at all.
"Kids, it's not time for you to learn martial arts yet. Wait until you are thirteen. Go back to your parents."
Lin Fan said to the children in the queue. Due to Lin Fan's attack, the guards in dark blue did not dare to move. They were afraid that they would become the next fish food.
Wei Long thought for a while and cupped his fists. "Since this is Lord's order, we can only follow it. Since Lord wants to go to the Iron Sword Academy, Hall Leader Xiao will lead the way."
"What are you doing? Who said you could leave? Let's go together. "Lin Fan stopped Wei Long. He wanted to see what the Iron Sword Academy was up to.
Wei Long wanted to say something, but seeing Xiao Zhen nodding his head, he cupped his fists. "Since that's the case, I'll accompany Lord."
Lin Fan looked at the guards in dark blue. "Get on the boat. I'll only give you ten breaths of time. Anyone who doesn't get on the boat will die."
Hearing Lin Fan, the guards boarded the boat immediately.
Soon, the boat set off, heading into the distance.
Seeing that their children had returned, the citizens of Weicheng City could not help but smile. They were overjoyed.
It's best not to go. Thirteen is the age of cultivation.
Among the crowd, a few people whispered to each other. "Who was that?"
"I don't know, but I can tell that he's a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple. Wei Long is up to something, but we don't have any evidence yet. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
"Yeah. The Iron Sword Academy isn't big, but there are thousands of children here. How can the Iron Sword Academy afford all of them? I've long felt that something was wrong. I wonder if anything will happen to that person."
"I don't think so. He can stand in the air, so he's at least in the Earth Star Border Stage Seven. He's stronger than us. Let's go and help the weak."
"Let's go."
On the giant boat.
Xiao Zhen came up to Lin Fan. "Lord, it'll take us two days to reach the Iron Sword Academy. Please have a good rest on the boat. I'll inform you when we arrive."
"No need. Tell me where the Iron Sword Academy is." Lin Fan waved his hand.
Xiao Zhen frowned. He had no choice but to tell Lin Fan the location of the Iron Sword Academy.
At the same time, Wei Long started to think about how to solve this problem.
Lin Fan took a step forward and floated in the air. He then flew to the bottom of the boat.
"What is he doing?" Xiao Zhen was stunned. He had no idea what Lin Fan was going to do.
Boom!
Suddenly, the boat started to shake. It was as if it had left the water and floated.
"Two days? We'll be there in a few hours." Lin Fan supported himself on the bottom of the boat and flew into the distance.
"This …" Xiao Zhen and Wei Long's faces changed. ~ How can he be so strong? ~
