Following which, the cocoons broke one after another, and the corpses fell to the ground. They were naked and covered in a sticky liquid.
He thought of the skillset that his master had told him about. It was the skillset that the Divine Religion used to train those weird dead servants.
"Peak Leader Lin, this is infuriating. The Divine Religion must be eliminated." Elder Jin said angrily. His veins were bulging.
Piak!
The sound of bones moving could be heard. The corpses on the ground were wriggling in impossible positions.
Some of them had their mouths wide open, but they had no teeth. Their mouths were sticky and smelly. Their eyes were lifeless.
Just then, there was a flash of light in the distance. It was a statue.
As the corpses fell from the cocoons, a dark energy could be felt from the statue.
"Pope!"
Lin Fan said in a low voice. He took a step forward and came to the statue. The statue gave off an energy shield, but it shattered the moment it came into contact with Lin Fan. It turned into grey light.
Lin Fan stretched out his hand and grabbed the statue's face.
"There will come a day when I will break all five of your limbs."
Crack!
The statue's face cracked like porcelain. Countless cracks appeared on it, and then it shattered.
Immediately, mournful screams could be heard. The children who had broken out of the cocoons did not receive the blessing of the Church King. Their bodies were dry and cracked, as if they had lost all nourishment. They all fell to the ground, unmoving.
"Bury them properly. Elder Jin, follow me."
"Yes."
In that instant, the aura emitted from Peak Leader Lin's body sent chills down their spines. To be able to send chills down their spines, his strength …
They weren't in the sect when Lin Fan was fighting the demigod. They were looking for the Divine Religion outside. Hence, they didn't know about this.
"How did you guys find this place?" This was all he wanted to know. ~ The Divine Religion is too well-hidden. Even if I spend a long time looking for them outside, I won't be able to find any traces of them unless I'm extremely lucky. ~
"Peak Leader Lin, I went to Tiger Cloud City with my senior and junior brothers that day. When we reached the city, we realized that many people were looking for their children. We knew that something was wrong, but we were too late. Hence, we decided to go out of the city to look for them."
"At that time, Junior Brother True Crane told us that there was something wrong with the old woman who had just left the city, so we followed her all the way here."
Elder Jin told them everything he knew. When they saw the situation here, the anger in their hearts completely exploded.
"Are the City Lord and the guarding disciples of Tiger Cloud City useless? Now that something like this has happened, why aren't you investigating it? "Lin Fan asked.
Elder Jin lowered his head. "Peak leader Lin, I think they have neglected their duty. When I entered the city with my senior brothers, there was no one guarding the gate, and there were no guards patrolling the city. It was a defenseless city. It would be easy for the Divine Religion to invade."
"How annoying."
Lin Fan felt a headache coming on. The more he got to know the Magnificent Flame Sect, the more he felt that not only was the Divine Religion causing trouble, but the Magnificent Flame Sect was also causing trouble. Even the Mayor and the disciples guarding the city were ignoring everything. They deserved to be killed.
At this moment, several elders walked over.
"Peak Leader Lin, everything has been buried."
"Come, follow me to Tiger Cloud City." Lin Fan floated up. He wanted to see just what was going on.
Tiger Cloud City.
Inside the City Lord Great Hall.
A few people of high status sat in their respective seats.
The patriarchs of the two major families of Tiger Cloud City, the Feng family and the Zhang family, were present.
The patriarch of the Feng family held a rosary bead in his hand. His forehead was pale. "Many children have gone missing in the city recently. Who is going to investigate this matter? Our Feng family is short of manpower, and we can't help much."
The patriarch of the Zhang family shook his head. "I think we can only ask the City Lord and Lord for help. Everyone in the city is in a panic, and they are begging the City Lord and Lord to find the children."
Above them, there were two main seats, each occupied by two people.
One of them was the City Lord of Tiger Cloud City, and the other was the Magnificent Flame Sect disciple guarding Tiger Cloud City.
But at this moment, the two looked at each other.
"We have to leave this to the City Lord. I am only responsible for the safety of Tiger Cloud City. Everything else has nothing to do with me." The disciple said.
The City Lord was put in a difficult position. He stroked his beard. "I don't think there have been any missing children recently. They must have left. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack if we want to look for them."
When Lin Fan led the elders into the city, he saw some Magnificent Flame Sect citizens standing at the city gate with a piece of paper in their hands. They pasted it on the city wall.
"May I ask if the City Lord has sent anyone to look for the missing children?"
The man who was waiting anxiously heard someone speaking. He looked up and shook his head. "No..."
"Hehe!" Lin Fan sneered in his heart. ~ I didn't expect the City Lord to not send anyone to look for them. He then led the elders and walked forward.
"Peak leader Lin, where are we going now?" Elder Jin asked.
"Since we're here, we have to ask. Let's go to the City Lord Palace."
At this moment, the City Lord, the disciple, and the patriarchs of the two major families were arguing.
Suddenly, a servant hurriedly came in.
"City Lord, someone wants to see you."
The City Lord was having a headache. He waved his hands. "No, no. Chase him away."
The Tiger Cloud City used to be peaceful, but now there was a problem. The disappearance of children had broken the peace.
Bang!
The door was pushed open. Lin Fan led the elders into the Tiger Cloud City.
"How capable. As the City Lord of Tiger Cloud City, he didn't even look for the missing children. Instead, he sat here and chatted leisurely. What a good City Lord of the Magnificent Flame Sect."
When he went to the Sunshine Sect to kill his enemies, he met a greedy and cruel City Lord. Lin Fan was overjoyed and pardoned the City Lord. With such a City Lord, the Sunshine Sect could only dream of becoming strong.
But the City Lord would never allow such a City Lord to exist in the Magnificent Flame Sect.
"Who are you..." The City Lord stood up and scolded them. But before he could say anything, he saw the token on their waists.
It was a token that only Magnificent Flame Sect disciples had. Judging from their aura, they were obviously not ordinary people.
The disciple in charge of guarding the Tiger Cloud City took a look and rushed over.
"Disciple Guan Yueshan greets the elders."
As a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple, he could naturally recognize the token on their waists. It was a token that only elders could have. They had already left the inner sect.
They were no longer fighting for the position of sect leader, but managing the sect's affairs.
Even though he was the disciple in charge of guarding the Tiger Cloud City, he had to be respectful when he saw them.
"Hmph!" Lin Fan snorted coldly as he walked past him. He then walked to the center of the hall.
Beads of sweat rolled down Guan Yueshan's forehead when he heard Lin Fan's snort. How could he not know that the elders were following behind him? This person's identity... No, this is...
Suddenly, Guan Yueshan's face turned pale. He recognized him. He really did.
"Disciple greets peak leader Lin."
The peak leader of the Magnificent Flame Sect did not have a high cultivation, but he was extremely talented. However, there was a weirdo who was not only talented, but also had a high cultivation.
The Feng Family Patriarchs, Zhang Family Patriarchs, and even the City Lord stood up immediately. They did not dare to sit down. Who would have thought that an elder of the Magnificent Flame Sect would come?
"Let me ask you. Who sent someone to investigate the missing children?" Lin Fan asked calmly with his hands behind his back.
The City Lord walked up to Lin Fan. "Peak leader, I sent someone to investigate..."
Piak!
With a slap, the city lord's body slammed into the pillar. The pillar couldn't withstand the impact and cracks appeared on it.
"Peak leader Lin is asking you a question. Answer him honestly, or you will die." Elder Zhen He's eyes flickered with cold light. His heart was filled with rage. Those were all children who were still young and had yet to grow up. Even if they were to grow up and die for the prosperity of the sect, it would be a worthy death. It would be a glorious death that would be revered by future generations.
But now, he was turned into a Death Servant by the Divine Religion, and he looked neither human nor ghost.
They could not blame anyone for this. If Tiger Cloud City had sent people to search for the children, it would not be considered a dereliction of duty. However, there was no news at all.
"No... No." The City Lord stood up with difficulty and lowered his head.
He tried to argue.
"Peak leader Lin, you can't blame us for this. The children disappeared too quickly, and we had no way to find them."
The City Lord wanted to punish him, but he did not expect the sect elders and peak leaders to be involved.
Suddenly!
A ray of light shone.
The City Lord held onto his neck. Blood flowed through his fingers and dripped down.
"How could you... kill me?" The City Lord opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He was the City Lord, appointed by the Magnificent Flame Sect. Even a peak leader couldn't do anything to him. This was a rebellion.
"Go down and apologize to those children."
The other three didn't even dare to breathe. Their backs were damp, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads.
"As the disciple in charge of guarding Tiger Cloud City, how could you sit still when something like this happened? What a good disciple."
Plop!
Guan Yueshan knelt on the ground, panicking. "Peak leader Lin, please spare my life. I... I..."
At that moment, he was speechless. He did not know what to say.
"Since you don't care about the people of the Magnificent Flame Sect, then there's no need for your cultivation to exist."
"No..."
Bang!
Guan Yueshan felt pain all over his body. The earth energy in his body dissipated. When he tried to gather earth energy, he realized that there was nothing left.
He knew that his cultivation had been crippled.
"As the peak leader of the Magnificent Flame Sect, how could you do this to me? I was appointed by the Magnificent Flame Sect..." Guan Yueshan was going crazy. How could he accept the fact that the cultivation that he had spent so much effort on was gone in an instant?
The two patriarchs were drenched in sweat. They knelt on the ground.
"Peak leader, please spare our lives. We'll send people to look for them."
In Tiger Cloud City, the two patriarchs had a high status. But in front of Lin Fan, they could no longer act so domineering.
"There's no need for that."
Lin Fan did not want to say anything else. He was thinking about something very important. But before that, he had to do something.
Tiger Cloud City was not peaceful yet.
