Chapter 775: This Is An Insult To Us!

The area a hundred miles in radius around of the Barren City was a desolate desert.

This was the territory of the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings.

Back when Sha Dulong was looking for a place to set up their base, this was the first place he caught sight of. Hence, that single decision had them here for the years later on.

And in these few years, Sha Dulong had crafted out quite a name for himself. Everyone from the Barren City knew that the Fourteen Sand Bandits resided here in these hundred miles of desolate desert.

However, these residents of the Barren City knew that these Sand Bandits were nothing to be fearful of, and they would never rob poor people such as themselves.

As for the merchants, they were really fearful at the very beginning. But after the first brave merchant made his trip through this place, things changed entirely from there on.

The Fourteen Sand Bandits then became overwhelmingly welcomed. From time to time, there would even be merchants who would intentionally stay here, hoping to be robbed by the Fourteen Sand Bandits.

From then on, the Fourteen Sand Bandits were then referred to by the merchants as the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings.

These were reasonable bandits!

In the eyes of those merchants, these Fourteen Sand Dao Kings were bandits with ethics and morals.

“Today looks like yet another wonderful day for robbing.” Sitting on a small slope, Sha Dulong looked at the scorching, radiant sun and exclaimed.

“Big brother, you’re right! The weather IS pretty good today!” The masses accompanying him replied.

“I believe that we’re finally started to peek at the entrance of the Dao of Robbery by now. Our big brother hadn’t lied to us back then. The Dao of Robbery does exist!” Sha Dulong’s face was full of nostalgia.

At this moment, everyone quietened down. In the past few years, their entourage had strengthened, and they had taken in a number of people. However, at this moment, everyone knew that their Leader was thinking about someone right now.

During these moments, they had to maintain their absolute silence. Otherwise, the Leader would get mad. And if the Leader got mad, that would be a bad thing. The least of the punishments would be a couple of days without food!

“Let’s go. Let us continue to rob.” After god knows how long, Sha Dulong finally came back to his senses and waved out with his hand. The word ‘rob’ was said with such grandeur as though there was nothing wrong with it at all.

For these Fourteen Sand Bandits, the only times when they would feel alive and find meaning in their lives was when they were conducting a robbery.

…

“Why are the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings not here yet?”

At this moment, a convoy stopped in the middle of the desert. The leading carriage of these convoys had a bright flag perched on its top. If any resident of the Barren City were to catch sight of it, they would recognize it immediately.

This was the flags of one of the trading companies within the Barren City.

A middle aged man walked out of the lead carriage and asked, “They’re not here yet?”

“Nopes.” A servant who had been gazing across the distance shook his head.

The middle aged man looked at the desolate desert. He then caught sight of a couple more convoys that were arriving from the distance.

“Damn it! To think that we would be so unlucky this time around. Seems like there are quite a number of merchant convoys here.” The middle aged man said with displeasure. It was as though he was heartbroken that there were others coming to snatch his position of being robbed.

If anyone who did not know of the situation passed by here, they would definitely be astounded. To think that there would even be queues for robberies right now?! Had the world changed or what?

When one of the convoys made its way over, the middle aged man frowned. He had caught sight of his competitor in the same trade. Not only did they have to compete in terms of business, they even had to compete here! Damn it!

“Oh? Seems like you’re here too, Shopkeeper Wang.” From the convoy that arrived in the distance, a fat middle aged man chuckled out.

“Shopkeeper Li, you were the ones who were robbed previously. Don’t tell me that you intend to steal that away from me this time around as well?” Shopkeeper Wang asked with displeasure.

“Shopkeeper Wang, you’re speaking of it the wrong way now. The able ones get robbed. Furthermore, you’re not the only one waiting to be robbed here, Shopkeeper Wang!” Shopkeeper Li replied.

“Hmph!”

They were both merchants of the Barren City. When they headed out to the other cities with merchant convoys, they would have to go through treacherous paths where dangers lurked at every corner.

Even though they had employed numerous powerful beings under their watch, they would still lose about four out of ten of their trips. This was quite the troubling issue for them.

But now, things were different. Any convoy that was lucky enough to be selected by the Fourteen Sand Bandits would enjoy a carefree trip, free of disasters. They would definitely arrive at their destinations safely!

Therefore, for any merchant of the Barren City, it was one hell of a good luck if they were to be selected as robbery victims for the Fourteen Sand Bandits!

Right at this moment, yellow sand flew all over the sky as the area was filled with dust clouds.

“They’re here! They’re here…!!!”

All of the merchant convoys cast their sights into the distance with a look of anticipation. If they weren’t selected this time around, they could only wait for the next time.

To them, the Fourteen Sand Bandits were an extremely credible assurance!

Back in the past, they had all attempted to spend a large amount of money to employ their services. However, for Sha Dulong and the others, this was nothing but an insult to their trade as bandits. Hence, he rejected them flatly.

…

“Leader, there’re so many merchant convoys yet again this time around! Which one of them should we rob?” For some of the older members of the team, this was a troubling issue.

For some of the newbies, a sight like this had them stumped.

They had not expected being bandits to be this easy! There were merchants fighting at their doorsteps, fearing that they wouldn’t get robbed!

For Sha Dulong, this was a sight he was long used to, “We’ll let fate decide then.”

At that moment, a long howl rang out as Sha Dulong leapt up into the sky with a majestic disposition.

“ROBBERY…!!!”

This cry of robbery was enough to shock the world and have Gods and Ghosts cry over it. This was impressive to say the least.

“The bandits are here! The bandits are here…!!!”

At this moment, everyone from the merchant convoys yelled out frantically. An aura of fear spread through the entire world.

Some of these merchants had arrived at the Barren City to collect some goods. And now that they had gotten their goods and were preparing to return, they came to test their luck upon hearing of the rumours of the Fourteen Sand Bandits.

But looking at the frightful looks that everyone was giving off right now, they were bewildered.

“Oh, the great Fourteen Sand Dao Kings! Please come and rob me! I’ll be willing to offer a fixed amount!” One of the new merchant convoys shouted out.

As for those surrounding merchant convoys who were entirely engrossed in their acting right now, they looked at this new merchant convoy with the same eyes one would use to look at an idiot when they heard the cries.

“That merchant convoy must be new, right?”

“How dare they speak of such humiliating words!”

“That’s right! Honestly, one can’t blame the ignorant ones though. But these words are nothing but a direct insult to the Fourteen Sand Bandits!”

…

“Hmph! The Fourteen Sand Bandits will never ever rob a merchant convoy that is not afraid of us! Men, take them away!” The moment Sha Dulong heard those words, his face changed as he was a little peeved. The might of their Fourteen Sand Bandits was unparalleled. To think that after travelling for endless of miles out in the world, there would be a merchant convoy that didn’t fear them!? What sort of a humiliation was this?

“Yes!”

“What’s going on?”

The new merchant convoy was beyond confused, not knowing what this all meant.

“It’s a robbery! Men on the left, women on the right! Trannies in the middle! Our Fourteen Sand Bandits will only rob your wealth and not your bodies or lives! But if you’re not obedient, then you can’t blame us for being merciless!” Sha Dulong burst out as a tremendous aura caged everyone within.

“Spare us! Please spare us!”

“Please don’t rob us!”

Even though these experienced merchant convoys were begging for mercy in their mouths, their actions were swift as they started queuing up.

Men on the left, women on the right. Trannies in the middle. But, up till this day, they had yet to see a tranny standing in the middle just yet.

“Leader, someone’s standing in the middle!” A voice yelled out.

Sha Dulong’s face changed as he headed forth immediately.

Shopkeeper Li was giving off a terrified look right now. However, he still straightened his body as he stood there, “Don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me!”

“Hmph. Don’t worry. We of the Fourteen Sand Bandits are professional and ethical men. We will definitely not take your life or f*ck you. Hand over everything that’s valuable in your possession and place them all within this small bag!” Sha Dulong ordered fiercely.

“Y-yes…!!!” Shopkeeper Li was overwhelmed with joy in his heart as his hand motions did not stop at all. He commanded everyone under him to hand over everything that was valuable to them and tossed them all into that bag.

When the surrounding merchant convoys saw the Fourteen Sand Bandits robbing Shopkeeper Li, they were helpless in their hearts. They hadn’t expected that they wouldn’t be chosen.

Shopkeeper Wang was bearing the biggest grudges right now. How had things turned out as such? When he caught sight of the smug expression on the face of Shopkeeper Li, he was even more furious, without any way to vent it out at all.

BOOM!

All of a sudden, the ground started quaking up violently.

Yellow sands rumbled all over the skies in the distance.

“Leader, the army of the Barren City is here!”

“Huh? The army of the Barren City? Prepare for battle!” Sha Dulong yelled out.

“YES!”

…

Translator’s Thoughts

Lam_ HAHAHAHAHA. I AM ALMOST BURSTING OUT OF LAUGHTER SO BADLY AT THIS POINT. THE DAO OF ROBBERY. THE ACTING OF THE MERCHANTS. I CANNOT EVEN. I almost wept a tear when I started translating ‘Men on the right, women on the left.’ This is one hell of an emotional ride back home guys. We’re home, we’re truly home now. :’)

Chapter 776: Stepped To Death

“What’s the army here for?”

The many merchant convoys here were confused. The Fourteen Sand Bandits had been really law-abiding citizens in their many years in Barren City’s vicinity.

Even though they robbed, they gave back in their own way.

In the words of some people, the Fourteen Sand Bandits were truly professional and ethical bandits. Their robbing of valuables was only an equivalent of them collecting protection fee!

In fact, after the Fourteen Sand Bandits made this place their base, some of the other nefarious bandits who had wanted to do harm to the Barren City were blocked out by them!

And, the most important thing was that the City Master of the Barren City itself had once commended the Fourteen Sand Bandits personally!

But now that the army was coming down personally, everyone was completely befuddled.

“Elder, the base of the Fourteen Sand Bandits is straight up ahead!” One of the disciples of Jiuling Sect leaned close to a suave and elegant man while he remarked.

“Yes. This City Master of the Barren City is absolutely ridiculous. To think that he would dare to say that these bandits here are bandits with morals, and would even dare to term them as the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings! If word of this were to get out, wouldn’t this be one hell of a laughing stock?”

“Furthermore, now that the Barren City has already become a colonial city under our Jiuling Sect, if we were to allow the bandits to continue roaming around our colony, wouldn’t that be an insult to our Jiuling Sect?”

This suave and elegant man did not look any older than in his twenties.

However, his position was extraordinary, and was an elder of the Jiuling Sect! His cultivation was astounding. Right now, he was already a Greater celestial middle level cultivation state being.

One fine day three years ago, he was just a man who was accomplished in his cultivation and roaming around the Pugilistic World. Back then, he wasn’t a disciple of the Jiuling Sect yet. That day, he met with the Jiuling Female Empress of the Jiuling Sect and immediately recognized her as a divinely being of remarkable beauty. From then on, he submitted to her and wanted to lean closer to her.

Because of that, he recommended himself to be an elder of the Jiuling Sect.

However, there was one thing that Feng Wuxiang was helpless about. He was handsome and elegant, and there were countless girls who were intoxicated over his suaveness. Yet, this Jiuling Female Empress couldn’t be any colder towards him.

This was something that Feng Wuxiang could not take lying down. He refused to believe that there was a woman within this world he could not charm.

Back when he had first met the Jiuling Female Empress, she was still young and looked like a lolita. However, over the past few years, she had matured and grown with an elegant grace and a peerless demeanor. That cold disposition of hers had Feng Wuxiang’s heart fluttering even more towards her.

“Elder Feng, you are right! I think that the City Master of the Barren City must be colluding with these bandits! Otherwise, why would he speak up for these bandits?”

All the disciples surrounded him and fawned while complimenting his words.

The Jiuling Sect was their asylum. Even though the might of Jiuling Sect could not be comparable to those truly major sects, those major sects somehow would give their Jiuling Female Empress quite a bit of respect. This was something that gave these guys a lot of face.

When they were outside, as long as they declared their sect, none of the other sects would dare to mess with them.

“Yes. The Barren City is now a colonial city of our Jiuling Sect. Once we clear out these bandits in the area of hundred miles around the Barren City, we will head down to the next city. That Saint Devil Sect has already taken down ten cities by now. If we were to fall behind, we are going to be punished.” Feng Wuxiang commented.

As a Greater celestial middle level cultivation state being, Feng Wuxiang could be considered as quite powerful in the Xuanhuang World. He wasn’t all that weak within the Jiuling Sect as well.

However, Feng Wuxiang had no idea just what type of background this Jiuling Sect had. Even though he was an elder, he was the weakest out of all the elders!

All of those people who were around the Jiuling Female Empress were one sicker than the other! Each time he faced them, he would feel as though he was facing some huge mountains.

That was some crazy pressure!

“Elder, check it out! Those bandits are robbing again!” A disciple before him exclaimed out.

“Hmph! Get the whole army out!” Feng Wuxiang waved out with his hand. “Today, we shall kill all of these bandits!”

All the soldiers of the Barren City did not know what to say any longer.

How could they not know of the Fourteen Sand Bandits? Their own City Master had always enjoyed chats over wine with the Leader of the Fourteen Sand Bandits personally.

There was even one time when the City Master wanted to betroth his own daughter in marriage over to the Leader!

But, after thinking more about it, he knocked off the idea. After all, Sha Dulong was getting a little old now. And, the main point was that he was too ugly.

Now that this Jiuling Sect and whatnot had taken control over the Barren City, they wanted to engage the entire army and take down the Fourteen Sand Bandits? Were they retarded or what?!

“Fourteen Sand Bandits, you guys have committed many grave crimes and have robbed merchant convoys! Today, I, Feng Wuxiang of the Jiuling Sect, shall have all of you killed right here!” Feng Wuxiang’s aura burst forth along with his sharp gaze. The moment he spoke out, it was as though he was standing on the side of the righteousness while he looked down at the Fourteen Sand Bandits.

“What’s this all about?”

“That’s right. What has this got to do with the Jiuling Sect?”

“Everyone, we haven’t been robbed at all! And, they’re not some crime committing bandits or whatnot either!”

The merchant convoys yelled out one after another.

“Little doll there, you’re quite interesting, aren’t you? Our Fourteen Sand Bandits have trodden all over the deserts, and yet, there has never been anyone who had dared to come at us so brazenly.” Sha Dulong shouted back.

“Hmph!” Feng Wuxiang snorted coldly. He then looked over at the merchant convoys, “All of you merchant convoys had better leave this place quickly! I’ll have you guys know that the blades have no eyes. If you guys were to suffer any losses or anything, you would have asked for it.”

“T-this…!” All of a sudden, all the merchant convoys did not know what to do any longer.

Wasn’t this one hell of a scam?

Shopkeeper Li was especially close to puking out blood.

“The robbery shall end today. All of you, hurry and leave.” Sha Dulong frowned. From his point of view, something must have happened to the Barren City. He knew of this Jiuling Sect. But, he hadn’t expected them to come knocking for him.

“Leader! I-I…!” Shopkeeper Li was indignant. He was so close to succeeding! How could this happen?

“Don’t worry. The Fourteen Sand Bandits are a bunch of professional and ethical bandits. Since we’ve robbed you, we will definitely account for it. Just come back to us next time.” Sha Dulong remarked.

“Leader, I’ll hold you accountable to your words!” Shopkeeper Li was elated.

“Sure.” Sha Dulong nodded his head.

With the confirmation of Sha Dulong, this bunch of merchant convoys scooted off really far away.

“Big brother, these guys aren’t weak.” The masses of the Fourteen Sand Bandits whispered.

“Yes. Their aura isn’t any bit weaker than ours. It’s quite respectable for someone his age to have that type of strength. Let our fellow brothers stay back. This fight isn’t something they can handle.” Sha Dulong said.

“Understood.”

The only reason why Feng Wuxiang brought all the soldiers was only for a display of might. He did not have any intention of letting them take part in the fight at all.

After all, in the eyes of Feng Wuxiang, these soldiers were powerless ants. A single breath would be able to blow their existences away. They served no purpose at all.

“Fourteen Sand Bandits, surrender now and I can allow you guys to have a dignified death. Otherwise, it’ll be a terrible sight if your bodies were to be found lying all torn apart everywhere.” Feng Wuxiang scoffed coldly.

“Don’t get all cocky now, you little thing! Back when Granddaddy here made his appearance in the scene, you were still in your mother’s womb! Let Granddaddy here teach you a good lesson!” The short and pygmy Sha Miexiong could take it lying no longer. Wielding his axes, he cleaved out towards Feng Wuxiang instantly.

“Hmph! A Lesser celestial full cultivation state being is weak as an ant. You wouldn’t be able to take even a single blow.” Feng Wuxiang laughed coldly. Using his finger as a sword, he drew a line in the void.

A sharp gleam of light burst forth. Sha Miexiong was taken aback as he used his axes to defend instantly.

Clang!

Against this sharp gleam of light, the axe cracked without any resistance at all.

Thud.

“Third Brother…!” Sha Dulong’s face turned grim.

“Hahaha! And I thought he might be somebody. Turns out he was so weak! Honestly, the Fourteen Sand Bandits are made up of the ugliest people in the world! A pygmy dwarf, a blind bat, a mute… And look at that incredibly fat fella over there! If I didn’t take a closer look, I might have thought that it was a pig right there!”

“If you guys were to compare yourselves to me, wouldn’t you guys feel inferior about your own appearances?”

Feng Wuxiang mocked them mercilessly. He couldn’t be bothered about Sha Dulong and the others at all.

“HAHAHA…!”

All the other disciples of the Jiuling Sect burst out laughing.

The soldiers of the Barren City were astounded at this sight before them. To think that this fella from the Jiuling Sect would be this strong!

They knew of the strength of the Fourteen Sand Bandits. Initially, they were just waiting to see the Fourteen Sand Bandits teach this fella a lesson. To think that this elder from the Jiuling Sect would be this strong that he could send the third Leader of the Fourteen Sand Bandits puking out blood with a single hit!

“You guys can come at me together. Otherwise, don’t come blaming me, Feng Wuxiang, for not giving you guys any chances.” Feng Wuxiang swept his robes and taunted overbearingly.

Instantly, a tremendous aura burst forth from Feng Wuxiang.

Behind Feng Wuxiang, the powers of the Heaven and Earth flashed intermittently.

“Good lad, your Granddaddy here shall teach you a lesson!” Sha Dulong roared out as the True Energy within his body surged up while he lunged at Feng Wuxiang with a punch.

“Oho! Greater celestial middle level cultivation state being? That’s some decent strength there that’s equivalent to me. But it’s a pity…” Feng Wuxiang’s eyes shone with a glint as he opened his palms wide, causing a series of True Energy to start rumbling.

Sha Dulong could feel that berserk True Energy as his face changed entirely. He felt as though his True Energy was being controlled by the other party instead of himself!

Piak!

Instantly, Sha Dulong lost and was trampled down by the other party’s feet.

“But, it’s a pity that the difference between you and me is as great as the Heaven and Earth itself.” At this moment, Feng Wuxiang was just like a heavenly deity who had descended upon the world.

The disciples of the Jiuling Sect looked at Feng Wuxiang with reverence. Such tyrannical power he possessed! What Fourteen Sand Bandits and whatnot? They were taken down in a single attack of his!

The soldiers of the Barren City yelped out with a face of disbelief.

“Big brother!” Looking at how Sha Dulong was being stepped on by the other party, the members of the Fourteen Sand Bandits were riled.

“Run! You guys are no match for him!” Sha Dulong bellowed out. Now that he was being trampled down by the other party, he felt as though his True Energy had been sealed up. There was no way for him to fight back at all.

“HAHA! When I detain you back to the Barren City, I’ll chop off your head and hang it on the gates of the city. With that, you will serve as a warning for the masses. As for all these underlings of yours, there’s no need for them to exist any longer.”

Feng Wuxiang laughed out coldly as his killing intent flashed out. A heaven piercing Sword Will rose up from the ground. Waving his hand, the entire voids seemed as though they were being sliced up.

“STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!” The moment Sha Dulong saw this, he screamed out with a broken heart.

He had not expected his defeat to come so quickly that he didn’t even have time to react at all!

For the Fourteen Sand Bandits, this chilling sword was something they couldn’t defend against at all. They could feel the blood within their bodies freezing up as though they were sealed.

SHING!

Sha Dulong shut his eyes in unbearable pain. He could not bear to watch this. To think that things would turn out as such!

But just at this moment, a voice rang out.

“To think that you would dare to touch my men as well. Seems like you’re hopeless.”

This voice was extremely calm and carried neither joy nor sadness.

The moment Lin Fan arrived here, he did not expect to see Sha Dulong and the others being overwhelmed. Where was he to put his face like this? No matter what, these guys had once spent some time with him! Now that they were being walloped as such, wasn’t this just throwing away his face?

Lin Fan stood upright on the head of Feng Wuxiang, and then pushed gently. With that, a massive amount of power burst forth as the ground began to crack.

Instantly, Feng Wuxiang’s entire body sank into the ground all the way up to his head.

Lin Fan raised his head gently before stepping down once more.

BAM!

A loud explosion boomed out. The ground cracked all the way out as deep cracks extended all the way out till the boundaries of the world.

‘Ding…Congratulations on killing…’

“Hais! Seems like yet another genius was stepped to death by me. Sha Dulong, you guys are really disgracing me, aren’t you?” Lin Fan stood there with a face of helplessness.

Instantly, time seemed to have been frozen in this world.

All the disciples of the Jiuling Sect were flabbergasted right now. As for the Fourteen Sand Bandits, this familiar voice… this figure…!!!

When Sha Dulong gently raised his head, he looked over and saw a familiar yet foreign figure, with his long hair breezing with the wind. He couldn’t help but start shivering emotionally.

Translator’s Thoughts

Lam_

YES. FUCK THIS GUY. HOW DARE HE INSULT MY 14 SAND BANDITS. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU WHOEVER YOU THINK YOU ARE. Also, what happened to You Jiuling?! Why the hell is the Jiuling Sect going against the Saint Devil Sect?! But yeah. One hell of a long and worthy chapter. I’m super duper proud of Sha Dulong :’)

Chapter 777: Overbearing Disciples

Ah, such pleasure it was to stomp down on kindergarteners!

“Aren’t you guys really excited to see me?” Lin Fan chuckled out.

“BOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS…!!!!!!!!!!”

Sha Dulong nearly forgot what he was about to say any longer. He then shook his head furiously and pinched himself. It was only then that he realized that this wasn’t a dream. Everything was so real right now!

“B-boss…! Are you really back?” Sha Dulong’s voice was hoarse as he asked in disbelief.

“Of course. Could it be anymore unreal than this? However, aren’t you guys just too weak? To think that you guys would be beaten up as such by this small little shrimp!” Lin Fan grinned out. Using his finger to twirl around casually, a ring of light floated out with his finger as the center. One ring after another, they were filled with an unparalleled amount of lifeforce.

The injuries on some of the Fourteen Sand Bandits were grave as their bodies were rumbling with their blood right now. But with this lifeforce, they regenerated at a horrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, they were perfect as before.

When Sha Dulong and the others caught sight of their transformation, they let out extremely startled looks.

To think that their Boss would possess such an incredible skill!

“Boss, that fella is naturally a shrimp in your eyes! If you hadn’t appeared, Boss, we might have never been able to see you again, Boss!” Sha Dulong said rejoicefully.

In the five years that Lin Fan had left, Sha Dulong had been working hard at raising his cultivation state.

However, his innate potential wasn’t all that powerful to begin with. Hence, the speed of his cultivation had been really slow as well.

And of course, this was all Lin Fan’s fault. Before he left, he had forgotten to train them up. If he had raised their potential even slightly, they would have grown to the Heavens for sure!

“He killed the elder! He killed the elder!!!”

At this moment, a series of frantic cries rang out from the disciples of Jiuling Sect.

“YOU’RE MAD…!”

One of the disciples yelled out. However, a disciple by his side covered up his mouth instantly with a look of fear on his face.

To think that Elder Feng would have died just like that!

“Boss, hadn’t you ascended up? Why are you back now?” Now that the big brother was back, Sha Dulong naturally no longer had any fear. As for that Jiuling Sect and whatnot, he no longer placed it in his heart.

“I’m back to take a look, as well as bring you guys up with me.” For Lin Fan’s return this time around, he did have those intents indeed.

By now, Lin Fan had subdued Cruel and the Ancient One, and also killed Saint.

As such, there were only six Utmost Beings of the Ancient race left.

For the Ancient race, this was a disaster.

Ever since he had killed Saint, he had obtained the Eternal Seat of the Ancient race. This was the most critical item required for the Ancient race beings to attain the Eternal God Seat.

The might of the Ancient One was unparalleled. However, he was crippled by Lin Fan. Back then, in order to stop the Ancient One from recovering entirely, Lin Fan sacrificed the arm of the Ancient One entirely. With that, he successfully stopped the Ancient One from returning to his peak state.

And, that arm of the Ancient One that Lin Fan had sacrificed, it should have long been used by Saint.

However, now that Lin Fan had obtained Saint’s Eternal Seat, it shouldn’t be an issue for the Ancient One to return to his peak status.

‘Ascend?’

The moment Sha Dulong heard this, he was stumped. He then let out an excited face, “Boss! This ascension… Does it mean immortality!?”

“HAHA! In your dreams! Alright, let’s not talk about that for now. You guys shall just follow me first.” This time around, Lin Fan was ready for a good round of f*cking.

As far as Lin Fan was concerned, the Human race was way stronger than any of the thousands of races. However, all they lacked was a single guide.

But now, there was a talent such as Yours Truly. If the Human race were to follow him, they would naturally soar high and far!

Instantly, Lin Fan looked towards those disciples of the Jiuling Sect.

When the disciples of the Jiuling Sect caught sight of Lin Fan’s gaze, their hearts jerked as though they were caged up in fear.

That man had killed Elder Feng with a single step! They had witnessed it with their very own eyes! If the other party wanted to kill them, it would be as simple as killing ants!

“Scram.” Lin Fan’s voice was thunderous. It was so booming that the ears of these disciples were hurting from just hearing it.

But at this moment, this single word couldn’t have brought more joy for them. The fact that they could even get to keep their lives was a blessing from the Heavens!

Jiuling Sect?

Lin Fan had long known that this Jiuling Sect was something that was created by that disciple of his, You Jiuling.

“Hais!”

“These two brats… They’re truly way out of hand.” Lin Fan was a little exasperated right now. He was only gone for five years, and yet they had managed to cause all of this ruckus. If he were to be gone for ten or twenty years, wouldn’t the entire Xuanhuang World change entirely?

All of the Barren City soldiers watched everything with their jaws agape.

That elder of the Jiuling Sect who could beckon everything at his whim and will was stepped to death just like that! If they hadn’t witnessed it for themselves, who in the world would believe this?

“Boss, where are we headed to now?”

“To go teach those two brats a lesson.” Lin Fan looked over into the distance. Everything within the Xuanhuang World was in the palms of his hands.

…

Saint Mystery City…

This was the largest city in the entire Xuanhuang Wrodl. The population of this place amounted to hundreds of millions. The lands were vast like the milky way among galaxies.

For any mere commoner, it would take them nothing short of years at least to even view every single corner of the Saint Mystery City.

However, for the truly powerful beings, it would take them just a day or two to cross from the Northern side of the city to the Southern side.

Along the streets, there was a group of people who attracted the gazes of many. Most of the commoners who walked by them dodged in fear.

Well, it was mainly because the Fourteen Sand Bandits looked horribly frightening with their faces. A single look and one could tell that they weren’t good guys.

“This Saint Mystery City is not the largest city in the Xuanhuang World for nothing. It’s extremely magnificent! Even the streets are much wider than that of Barren City!” Sha Dulong exclaimed out.

“Indeed.” Lin Fan could not help but acknowledge as well. It had been just five years. To think that there would be such significant changes.

If he were to give them another tens of years, who knows how the Xuanhuang World would develop by then.

“Make way, make way!”

At this moment, there was some commotion coming from up ahead.

The initially bustling streets started to get chaotic.

Lin Fan and the Fourteen Sand Bandits stood at the side of the streets as a majestic carriage pulled by a beast breezed by them. There were curtains covering all four sides of the carriage. Within, there was a silhouette of a gorgeous figure sitting leisurely.

Towards everything happening right now, everyone was long used to it.

At this moment, there was a hawker up ahead who was unable to dodge in time. Just when he was about to be knocked head-on, Lin Fan used his finger to draw in the air, causing a strong breeze to knock the hawker aside.

The hawker who had thought that he would be knocked to death crawled up from the ground. His face was both frightened and astonished at the same time.

“That’s the Beast Carriage of the Jiuling Female Empress!”

“That’s right. It’s really extremely majestic! However, for them to be traveling within the city at such speed, what would happen if they were to knock anyone over?”

“Hush. Don’t you want your life anymore? If you were to be overheard, you’d definitely be in for it!”

“Hais. The Jiuling Female Empress is ravishing without peer. Just, why must she be so tyrannical?”

“I heard that the Saint Devil Sect and the Jiuling Sect are about to have a duel right here! I wonder what the outcome would be like.”

“Comparing the Saint Devil Sect and the Jiuling Sect, they are both the same. These two sects are equally overbearing. I wonder why the City Master wouldn’t come out to stop them at all.”

“These are major sects we’re talking about! If the City Master were to stand up against them, he might even lose his life!”

…

Lin Fan stood there silently. While he didn’t say anything more, his brows did end up furrowing.

“Bloody mother*cker! By the sounds of it, aren’t these two disciples of mine even more overbearing than I was?”

…

Okay, so seems like the Eternal Seat is transferrable. Also, I’m equally confused that Sha Dulong would get excited over the word ‘ascend’ when he himself was the one who mentioned it earlier on. The author must have made a mistake. I read the raws over and over again but I just couldn’t figure out. I suppose he should be referring to Lin Fan bringing them up with him. Also, I have no idea how he knew that Lin Fan had ascended in the first place. Oh well.

BUT, on the bright side, those little brats with Daddy issues? Yepp, Daddy’s coming. Cheers!

Chapter 778: The Changes Are Too Great! This Little Heart Can’t Endure It All! Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_

The pupil would surpass the master indeed!

Lin Fan was feeling prideful. However, when he thought more about it, these two brats weren’t all that old either. And yet, they were already so overbearing? If they were to grow older, wouldn’t things get out of hand?

By that time, would even he lose control over them as their Master?

At this moment, Lin Fan’s heart chimed out. At the same time, he made a note to himself to mark down Zhang Ergou and the others, who were going crazy together with these two brats.

If he didn’t teach them a good lesson, the entire Heavens might even topple over!

But, Lin Fan was pretty interested to see just what sort of antics these two brats could cause.

Now that the Jiuling Sect and the Saint Devil Sect were arriving at the Saint Mystery City, the City Master was thoroughly vexed and busied.

In these few days that they were here, the entire Saint Mystery City was already in one hell of a huge mess. If they were to stay any longer, wouldn’t the Saint Mystery City have a huge load of sh*t to clean up?

Under his leadership, the Saint Mystery City had progressed really quickly. Everyone had food on their tables, and would enjoy prosperity together.

But, in these mere few days, there had been countless of commoners who had been bullied by the disciples of these two major sects. And, if they felt grievance over it, there was nothing to be done even if they were to report it to the city officials.

These guys could not be offended at all! Not at all!

When the disciples of the other major sects were to head to the Saint Mystery City, the older generation within their sects would always warn them not to create any trouble.

But yet, this Jiuling Sect and Saint Devil Sect gave no f*cks at all! They didn’t bother nor asked, as they allowed their disciples to act as they willed.

Initially, he had tried looking for the members of these two major sects. However, he couldn’t find anyone from the upper echelons at all. The only ones he could find were the normal elders.

But when these normal elders looked at the City Master of the Saint Mystery City, none of them would give him any face, as though they were looking at an ant.

Later on, the City Master tried seeking help from some of the other major sects as well. However, when they heard that it was the Jiuling Sect and the Saint Devil Sect, they rejected him flatly.

Therefore, the end result that he had concluded was this: Even though he was the City Master, there was no one among them that he could afford to offend.

…

Lin Fan brought the Fourteen Sand Bandits with him to an inn to rest for a while before that so-called great match would start tomorrow.

The next day, the Saint Mystery City turned evidently livelier.

Countless martial artists headed over from all over the place. Within a single day, there was an ocean like vast number of foreign martial artists within the Saint Mystery City.

No matter where one went, one would always hear the crowd discussing fervently about the upcoming duel.

But most of the crowd was actually discussing about how both the Grand masters were extremely beautiful girls. And not only that, they were young and yet possessed heaven-defying strength.

Towards the strength of Cai Zhiqiao and You Jiuling, Lin Fan was naturally extremely clear. These two brats had been trained up by him personally. As such, their potentials were unparalleled. One could even say that there was no equal for them within the entire Xuanhuang World.

With that, their cultivation speeds were naturally thousands of times faster than others. This was especially so with the booster of a large amount of pills. It was pretty difficult for them NOT to be strong.

“Boss, I’d say, aren’t these people way too mysterious? They’re only thirteen or fourteen years old, and yet they’re already at Greater celestial full cultivation state! Even if they were popping down chunks of pills, how could it be so crazy?” Sha Dulong exclaimed in disbelief.

Even though Sha Dulong had followed by Lin Fan’s side before, there were still quite a number of things he did not know about him.

“You know what would be real weird? If they hadn’t gotten to a Greater celestial full cultivation state after taking five whole years.” Lin Fan replied.

Sha Dulong looked at Lin Fan and eventually decided not to say anything. He felt that comparing with others would ultimately bring death to oneself. And this was especially the case for the younger generation. They were getting more ferocious one generation after another.

“Go, let’s go take a look.” Lin Fan headed off into the distance.

Sha Dulong looked at Lin Fan. For some reason, he had a feeling that his Boss wasn’t feeling all that great right now.

…

The place of the duel was the largest battle arena of the entire Saint Mystery City, and it was piling with people that had rushed here all for this duel.

Lin Fan, Sha Dulong, and the other bandits looked for a place and sat down just like that.

“That Jiuling Female Empress and the Grandmaster of the Saint Devil Sect are really genius beings of the world. I wonder who the Master who could possibly train up such frightening disciples was.”

“That’s right. Right now, there’re countless young men in the Xuanhuang World who are thoroughly infatuated with these two miraculous girls. And that’s not even counting the people who are aspiring to be like them!”

“However, I’ve heard from the rumors that the Grandmasters of these two sects were both from the same sect in the past! How had things come to this point?”

“Who knows? These two sects have been at each other’s throats for some time now. Every three months, there would be a small competition; every half a year, a medium sized competition, and a large scale one every year. Who knows how many times they’ve been at it already.”

Listening to the praises of the surrounding audiences, Lin Fan chuckled out.

Naturally, the only one who could groom up genius disciples as such would be none other than Yours Truly. In this world, other than Yours Truly, who else would have such capabilities?

However, the coming words had Lin Fan’s mood dampen down.

“However, I’ve got to say that these two sects are way too tyrannical. There have been many people who’ve been bullied by them. I heard that there was once a Grandmaster of a small sect who had begrudged that they were way too overbearing. As such, he was hung to be whacked, and was punished to kneel down for three days and three nights straight!”

“Hais! The wastrel of a son is all because of the father’s teachings. Even though these two Grandmasters are genius disciples, they are simply way too overbearing. I don’t reckon that their Master should be any good soul either.”

“Hush! Softer! How could you dare to say such things out loud?”

At this point, Lin Fan was so angry his entire face was almost turning green. Damn it! He was mother*cking taking the blame for no reason!

These two brats were all alright from the start. Why in the world would they start fighting at one another just like this?

“I don’t think you guys have got that quite right.” Lin Fan could not bear with it anymore as he felt that he ought to clear his name.

The men seated behind Lin Fan were stunned. They then asked him in bewilderment, “What’s not right?”

“I heard that their Master is a really upright and noble character who has saved the Xuanhuang World countless times.” Lin Fan praised himself without blushing at all.

“Brother, how do you know about that?”

“I…Well, I’m their Master.” For a moment, Lin Fan did not know what else to reply. After holding it in for quite some time, he got straight to the point.

The men behind him looked at one another. Without saying anything more, they stood up and left for another place to sit.

“This man doesn’t seem that old. To think that he would be spouting nonsense there.”

“I think there’s something wrong with his brains.”

“We should hide further from him, lest we attract any troubles to ourselves.”

…

When Lin Fan heard these words, he was so angry that he did not know what else to say anymore. His face then turned grim.

“It’s all the fault of those two damned brats! I’m going to teach them a good lesson later on!”

At this moment, Lin Fan pinned the issue directly on the both of those brats.

BOOM!

A series of applause rang out as figures flashed out of the void.

Above the duel area were a bunch of seats.

“They’re here! The Jiuling Female Empress is here!”

“That’s the Grandmaster of the Saint Devil Sect, Jiutian Female Empress!”

There were people appearing endlessly. When Lin Fan looked at these people, he could not help but feel nostalgic.

He could see them arriving one after another, and they had not changed at all. They still looked the exact same.

ROAR!

Suddenly, a furious growl boomed out. The entire world turned into a snow white state as a series of frosty, bone-chilling snow flowers floated down from the sky. A gigantic figure that covered the entire sky appeared.

“That’s the Snow Lion! She’s the mount of the Jiutian Female Empress!”

“It’s extraordinary indeed! Just the aura alone is enough to give one goosebumps!”

Lin Fan had not expected for that Snow Lion of the past to have such a huge transformation in just five years. In fact, she was even stronger than her mother right now.

The gigantic Snow Lion began to change and shrink down until she eventually came down to the side of Zhiqiao.

“CUCUCKOO…!!!!”

When Lin Fan heard this sound, he grinned widely. All he could see was a patch of fiery red in the sky as though an ocean of flames was slowly spreading out.

“Chicky!”

When the masses raised their heads into the void, they started discussing.

“That’s the Guardian Beast of the Jiuling Sect! Even though it looks really strange, they say that it’s really powerful!”

“That’s right! I wonder what sort of a beast it is. Even the Jiuling Female Empress has to be respectful to it!”

At this moment in the void, Chicky still retained that cocky attitude he once had. There weren’t many changes about him. However, that tail of his had four more tails compared to before.

He was now seven tailed.

When Lin Fan saw that Chicky’s powers had grown to this extent, he felt extremely heartened. But immediately after, his jaw dropped to the ground as though he had just witnessed something extremely horrifying.

Since god knows when, he saw three chickens standing behind Chicky all of a sudden. Each of them was only a quarter of Chicky’s size.

One of them was dressed in gold and silver, looking extremely wealthy.

One of them had all sorts of colors all over its body, with its hair standing upright. This was an absolute hipster.

And there was another one that was extremely fat. If one didn’t take a careful notice, one might not be able to tell its body from its head!

Even right at that moment, there was a huge piece of meat hanging from its mouth as it waved its wings furiously while following tight behind Chicky.

Chicky came beside Jiuling and headed straight for the seat before lying down. Instantly, a number of disciples gushed forth and started massaging his wings and legs instantly.

As for Chicky, he let off a look of absolute pleasure.

“Holy fck! What in the mothercking world happened here?!?!?!?!?”

At this moment, Lin Fan was practically exploding. That tiny, fragile heart of his could barely take this any longer!

Chapter 779: This Is A Complex Question

Lin Fan had always known that Chicky was a lustful chicken. However, he could have never imagined that just five years of not seeing this fella and Chicky had already produced 3 chicklings?!?!?!

And not just that! They were one more ‘exquisite’ than the other! How in the world did they grow up as such?

“Hais!”

Lin Fan sighed out. He had never once doubted that these three chicklings didn’t belong to Chicky. Just the size of them alone proved that they were made from the same mold.

…

The City Master of the Saint Mystery City sat there helplessly. For a moment or so, he did not know what to do.

Looking left and right, he did not have a single clue at all. He could only hope that things could tide through peacefully this time around, and he could send then these two gods on each side away smoothly.

“Hmph!”

Zhiqiao and You Jiuling exchanged glances with one another before snorting out coldly.

“Junior sister, even if you don’t wish to, you’ve got to admit it this time around.” It had been five years since Lin Fan last saw Zhiqiao. She had now lost her childlike demeanor. Every single movement she made brought with her an immensely strong authority.

“Senior sister, what are you doing all of this for? We’ve been at it for a few years now. Yet, you haven’t been able to do anything much to me. I am the one who has inherited the authentic legacy of our Master. And, it’s also a fact that you’re not my equal.” You Jiuling replied.

“The Saint Devil Sect is the true legacy. And that Jiuling Sect or whatnot of yours… What does it even amount to?” There was a look of contempt on that exquisite face of Cai Zhiqiao.

“Saint Devil Sect was left for you by our Big Senior Brother. I don’t need that. You’re only picking up after what others don’t want. Our Master has led his life with an illustrious reputation. How can I, You Jiuling, let someone like you be my senior sister?” You Jiuling replied with disdain.

“Junior sisters, how about both of you argue with a sentence less.” Tian Yu said out in exasperation. Up till this day, he had no idea how things had come to this.

A few days before the splitting of the sect, things were still fine. However, all of a sudden, these two junior sisters came up with the idea of splitting the sect apart and they headed straight to the Big Senior Brother to force him to let up his position.

“Shut up.”

Zhiqiao and You Jiuling turned their heads together at Tian Yu, who could only sigh helplessly. He got aimed at for nothing yet again.

Zhang Ergou sat there with a hand placed on his forehead. He could only feel a huge headache right now.

As the Big Senior Brother, he truly did not know what he should do towards this.

These two junior sisters of his were the favorite of his Master.

Should he hit them? He didn’t dare to.

Should he scold them? He didn’t know how he should do it.

Initially, he had thought that these two junior sisters would patch up after a while. But, who would have thought that the argument would only get more severe, till a state where they did not know how to pick up after anymore.

At this moment, Zhang Ergou thought back of his Master. If only his Master were around, a single look from him would be able to hold down these two brats.

But now that things had reached this irrevocable state, Zhang Ergou could only hand down the roles helplessly.

He and Tian Yu would follow along Zhiqiao, while Mie Qiongqi and Feng Bujue would follow You Jiuling.

In Zhang Ergou’s eyes, this was extremely fair, without any bit of biasedness.

He didn’t even let off the beasts.

Since Zhiqiao had the Snow Lion, Zhang Ergou pleaded with Chicky to follow along with You Jiuling.

This was the fairest method of distribution, such that the two junior sisters could not complain about anything else.

As for Gong Bingye, she was the one caught in the middle. She had singlehandedly brought up these two brats. Eventually, she had no choice and decided to take no sides and stay within Glory Sect.

And, in Zhang Ergou’s opinion, it was thankful that their strength were pretty decent. This was especially so given that there were sects which were really close to their Master, such as Glory Sect, Xuanjian Sect, and Jiuxiao Sect that were watching over them.

Otherwise, who would even know how many sects would come attacking them over the troubles caused by these two brats?

As for the separate businesses conducted by these two brats, Zhang Ergou had never acknowledged any of the disciples they had taken in after.

As for the sects that these two brats owned, he did not acknowledge them either.

To him, the only Saint Devil Sect he would acknowledge was one with his Master in it, not these two sects that were popped out of nowhere by these two brats.

“Big Senior Brother, you tell us! For the past few years, who has done the best? Who is the one who has inherited the true legacy of our Master?” The two brats looked at their Big Senior Brother as though this matter would not be over with until he gave them an answer.

“T-this…Well, both of you are decent.”

Zhang Ergou could only reply as such.

“No! That’s not right! You’ve got to give us ONE single answer!”

Zhang Ergou really felt like bellowing out that he was their Big Senior Brother! He wanted to threaten that if both of them continued to act so insolently, things would be over for the both of them. However, he could only think about it in his heart.

He didn’t have the guts to bellow it out loud.

“T-this…!” For a moment, Zhang Ergou did not know what to say at all, as he cast his sights on Feng Bujue.

Zhang Ergou’s intentions were clear: ‘As the 2nd Senior Brother, you can’t possibly get ‘through this without saying anything at all, right?’

When Feng Bujue caught sight of the knowing expression shot by Zhang Ergou, he jerked his head away furiously and looked at that non-mainstream hipster son that Chicky was hugging in his wings.

“Aiyoh! Chicken Two, your hair’s looking quite stylish these days, eh?”

“Cuckoo…!”

The hipster Chicken Two raised his fabulous head and cried out a few times, indicating his happiness.

“Senior Brother, YOU say!” The both of them turned around to look at Mie Qiongqi.

Mie Qiongqi had mastered the Unkillable Indestructible. As such, his heart was firm and resolute, and his face was always cold and frosty. He was someone who had control over life and death. However, at this moment, he too could not help but feel stranded. Eventually, he put on a straight face and replied.

“This is a really complex question. You’ve got to let your senior brother here go and take some good time to research on it. I’ll give you guys an answer a few years later.”

“Senior Brother, you’re a fence-sitter who swings both ways! Some time back, you had said that I did better!” You Jiuling remarked unhappily.

That ice-cold face of hers let out a trace of displeasure.

Right now, Mie Qiongqi could be considered as one of the top tiered powerful beings within the entire Xuanhuang World. Even the Grandmaster of Glory Sect was no longer a match for him.

Out in the world, everyone knew of Mie Qiongqi as the Death God. If any mere commoners were to say something like this, they would die without even knowing how they died.

However, right now, Mie Qiongqi’s face was as calm as still waters. He pretended as though he heard nothing.

Raising his head into the void, Mie Qiongqi could not help but lament, “Ah, dear Master, you left so easily and without a care! To think that you would leave with us a huge mess to clean up after!”

“Chicky, YOU say! If I did the best, you nod your head! If SHE did the best, you shake your head!” Zhiqiao looked at Chicky and asked.

“CUCK!”

“I asked you to nod or shake your head, not cuck!”

“CUCK!”

Chicky was like a dead corpse right now as he laid there. No matter what they asked, he would reply with a ‘CUCK!’. There was no other type of response.

Each time a duel happened, something as such would happen as well. For Zhang Ergou and the others, this was undeniably a form of torment.

Unable to get the answer they wanted in their hearts, both Zhiqiao and You Jiuling snorted coldly before glaring at one another once more.

“Let us lay bare our cards on the tables! I’ve just got to see if the disciples you’ve trained up are stronger than the ones that I’ve trained up!” Zhiqiao shouted out in a fit.

“By all means. Back when Master was around, you were already unable to compete with me. And now that Master isn’t around, do you really think that the disciples you’ve taught could be more powerful than mine?” You Jiuling chuckled out.

“Watch and see!”

…

Lin Fan was hidden within the crowd right now. He took a good look at everyone on those seats. One after another, he could not help but nod his head in approval.

Zhang Ergou’s cultivation state had gotten stronger. Right now, he was already a Greater celestial full cultivation state being. At the same time, Zhang Ergou gave off a strong pill aura. Lin Fan could tell that his pill cultivation techniques must have improved by leaps and bounds.

However, the pill aura that was wrapping around Zhang Ergou did have Lin Fan looking at him in a different light.

Given Lin Fan’s mastery of cultivating pills, a single look at the pill aura of a person would be enough for him to know about the sort of pills cultivated by those people.

And with Zhang Ergou’s pill aura, he could see that they were practically all really shady pills!

…

DONG!

“Let the duel begin!”

At this moment, the main event had started.

Translator’s Thoughts

Lam_

CHICKY! CHICKEN TWO! The fact that all of them are now Greater celestial full cultivation states has me feeling really heartened. Honestly, every chapter is just making me crave for more. I’m waiting for their heartfelt reunion :’)

And side note, Mie Qiongqi, Feng Bujue and Zhang Ergou are still equally hilarious too :’)

Chapter 780: Asking To Be Struck By Lightning!

Lin Fan did want to see just what sort of tricks these two brats could pull off.

Authentic sect?

Could this be what they were fighting over that resulted in this duel?

At this moment, something made sense to Lin Fan. These two disciples of his were girls!

The depths of a woman’s thoughts were like an ocean. At one moment, it could be all calm and nice, and at another, the entire world could topple and crash over.

Even if it were just a small thing, anything could work as a fuse for chicks, leading them to blow up so badly one could practically question one’s entire life over it.

At the same time, Lin Fan was deeply skeptical about Zhang Ergou’s role as the Big Senior Brother now. When Yours Truly wasn’t around, that guy should be the head of the family! And yet, he was pushed back so badly by those two brats! Wasn’t this embarrassing or what?

Towards Zhang Ergou, Lin Fan had many things that he wanted to spit out right in his face at this moment. However, he bore with it for now.

“I’ve just got to see how much more of a mess you guys can create.”

Lin Fan folded his hands as he stood there without moving. His intention was clear, ‘Please go on with the show.’

…

Time passed by the seconds and minutes.

The first part of the duel was all between the bunch of disciples. While this might be spectacular in the eyes of others, for someone as experienced as Lin Fan, they weren’t worth a single mention.

Right now, the excitement within the atmosphere was at its peak. There were many members from different sects who had gathered to observe this duel. At the same time, the elders of these sects were full of comments as well.

“Even though that disciple is only a Lesser celestial lower level cultivation state being, the amount of strength that he has displayed would be enough to fight with a middle level being!”

“Just how in the world are the Saint Devil Sect and the Jiuling Sect training their disciples? How is it so effective?!”

…

“Senior sister, my apologies. Your junior sister has humbly won.” You Jiuling’s brows twitched up as she smirked.

“Hmph!” Cai Zhiqiao snorted coldly. She then stood up with a frosty expression.

“Senior sister, what are you trying to do? Could it be that you’re a sore loser?” You Jiuling asked.

“Junior sister, you and I, come! Whoever loses shall have to disband their sect. At the same time, from now on forth, as long as the winner appears somewhere, the loser would have to scram far from the place!” Zhiqiao said.

“Both junior sisters, don’t mess around more than this! You’re both from the same sect and are both disciples of our Master! Don’t let small stuff like these destroy our harmonious relationship! If Master were to find out about this, he would get angry!” Zhang Ergou cried out.

“Big Senior Brother, you said that I can’t compare with her! Today, I’m going to prove myself!” Zhiqiao replied seriously.

“Junior sister, you can’t slander your Big Senior Brother here! Since when did your Big Senior Brother say something as such?” Zhang Ergou was stumped as he cried foul immediately.

“When you went to drink with our senior brothers the fateful day, I heard you from the outside!” Zhiqiao said.

“What?” Zhang Ergou was stunned. Did he say something like this? Zhang Ergou tried to recall frantically. Suddenly, he thought back to a couple of days back before both his junior sisters fell out with one another. He did seem to have treated all his junior brothers to a good round of drinks!

And on that fateful day, it DID seem as though he had said something like how Zhiqiao’s potential wasn’t comparable to Jiuling’s!

“Junior sister, your Big Senior Brother here was drunk back then!” Zhang Ergou tried explaining himself.

He hadn’t expected that that casual conversation that he had with his junior brothers after drinking could have stirred up such an intense fighting spirit within Zhiqiao!

“Big Senior Brother, one always speaks the truth while drunk.” Zhiqiao remarked. She then turned over to look at You Jiuling, “Do you dare?”

“Senior sister, you want to fight with me over EVERYTHING. When I called myself the Jiuling Female Empress, you called yourself the Jiutian Female Empress. You just want to one-up me in everything I do! Since you wish to fight that badly, then your junior sister would naturally comply with you till the end. But, when you lose later on, senior sister, don’t come crying to me and refusing to acknowledge defeat with a nose full of snot.” You Jiuling replied.

“Hmph! Who’s afraid of whom?”

Zhiqiao and You Jiuling’s figures flashed nimbly, and in the blink of an eye, they were already on the battle arena.

The disciples of all the different sects who were watching this began to discuss fervently.

“Both the Jiuling Female Empress and the Jiutian Female Empress are really pretty!”

“Aren’t you just stating the obvious? If that weren’t the case, would we have been idolizing them so madly over the past few years?”

“I’ve been thinking day and night. If only I could marry one of them as my partner, how nice would that be? It would be worth it even if it cost me ten years of my life.”

“You’re practically daydreaming right now. Even if it cost you a hundred years of your life, you wouldn’t have a chance at all.”

“Why do you have to say that? Don’t I even have the rights to dream?”

…

Lin Fan’s brows furrowed before relaxing down. Now that things had come to such, he might as well take a good look at just how far these two brats had progressed.

Back when he had just left, he had imparted quite a bit of his knowledge to them. However, he did not know how their mastery over the knowledge had been over the past few years.

Both of his disciples were extremely blessed with talents. Back when he had taken in Zhiqiao as his disciple, the potential of that brat was practically trash. However, under his guidance, her potential had already been pushed to its limits.

As for You Jiuling, her potential back when he took her in was already pretty decent. Later on, following his careful guidance, her potential had reached its peak as well.

It could be said that even if he were to toss these two brats into the Ancient Saint World, they could be peerless geniuses.

All of a sudden, the entire scene went silent while Zhiqiao and Jiuling glared at one another.

The single rustling of a leaf marked the signal for them to strike.

“Not bad!”

When Lin Fan caught sight of the scene, he could not help but nod his head in acknowledgment. The prowess displayed by both of them was pretty decent!

“Big Senior Brother! What should we do now?” Feng Bujue asked with a dumbstruck look.

“If you ask me, who am I to ask?! You know about the temper of these two junior sisters as well! They would only relent under coaxing and not coercion! Other than our Master, no one else can rein them in check!” Zhang Ergou replied helplessly. However, he still focused all his attention on the proceedings nevertheless. If anything were to head South, he would step in immediately.

When the City Master of the Saint Mystery City saw this, he started sweating profusely.

“How can they do this? This battle arena isn’t made to withstand the force produced by two Greater celestial full cultivation state beings at all!”

BAM!

The battle arena began to crack under duress. The moment both of them struck, it brought forth an immense tornado.

“Spectacular! This is way too spectacular! To think that these two young girls would possess a power of this level! The bunch of old brutes like us have really been wasting our lives like dogs!” Sha Dulong could not help but lament.

The rest of the Fourteen Sand Bandits nodded their heads as they could not help but agree.

Lin Fan was watching carefully, and would frown from time to time.

These two disciples of his… The skills of their legs were pretty darned vicious, weren’t they?

“Balls Kicking… It’s displayed to the point of perfection. If not for the fact that they’re both aware of the power of this skill, they might even underestimate it themselves!”

“Ay! For these two brats to be able to master that move to such a state, I wonder how many people must have suffered for it!”

…

“Stop! You must both stop! Are you guys bent on destroying the entire Saint Mystery City?” When the City Master saw how the entire ground was crumbling apart, with the damage extending outwards, he was startled. If this were to continue on, the surrounding structures might be unable to handle the tremors and end up crumbling apart!

“SCRAM!”

Zhiqiao and Jiuling roared out in unison. By now, they were fighting so badly that their eyes had turned red.

The City Master of the Saint Mystery City gulped down his saliva. He was filled with fear towards these two powerful beings. However, he had no other choice but to stand out, given how the situation was unfolding.

If this were to carry on, even the entire Saint Mystery City might topple over!

For these powerful beings, the common folks might be nothing but ants. However, to him, they were all his citizens.

As the battle between both of them continued, the auras that they were emitting intensified. If they weren’t careful, anything in the radius of hundred miles, no, even thousand miles might feel the reverberations.

“Junior sisters, that’s enough.”

Zhang Ergou stood up.

“Junior sister, I’m not going to lose to you!” Zhiqiao roared out. She didn’t take in Zhang Ergou’s words at all.

“Even if you don’t want to lose, you will. There’s no way you can win against me!” You Jiuling wasn’t bothered at all either.

BOOM!

A move of theirs collided and shone out with a bedazzling radiance. A series of aftershocks burst forth from it.

When the City Master caught sight of this scene, his entire face was drained of color. Even being caught in between this power was enough for him to feel as though his body could tear apart at any moment!

“Junior brothers, step in. We’ve got to stop this. Today, our junior sisters are getting a little out of hand here!” Zhang Ergou called out hurriedly.

“Yes.” Feng Bujue and the others nodded their heads. This situation right now did seem a little overboard. There were countless common folks within the Saint Mystery City. This place mustn’t be destroyed by their junior sisters.

…

And just at the very moment when Zhang Ergou and the rest flew up into the voids, they could feel a tremendous amount of power that was gushing down in the entire universe.

“That’s enough.”

All of a sudden, a thunderous voice boomed out. In fact, the entire world even started quaking as though it could not withstand this power at all.

Zhang Ergou and the others were rooted. This power left them feeling entirely helpless.

Zhiqiao and Jiuling who were in the midst of exchanging blows had their expressions changing immediately. The powers within their bodies boiled as a wrathful anger surged right into their hearts.

“WHO IS THERE? GET THE HELL OUT!”

The moment Lin Fan heard these words, he was stunned. These disciples were scolding their master!

For a moment, Lin Fan could not even catch his breath at all.

They were asking to be struck by lightning…!

“I see that your wings are firm now. Good. VERY GOOD.”

Lin Fan bolted up from his seat as his eyes were filled with fury. Looking over into the distance, that mighty and authoritative presence of his erupted forth.

Zhang Ergou and the others turned their heads over to the voice. At that moment, their faces changed…

Zhiqiao and You Jiuling were consumed with rage right now. But when they saw the figure over in the distance…

They. Froze. Up. Entirely.

THE FATEFUL REUNION IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, a few things to explain. Why struck by lightning? The Chinese believe that if someone acts unfilially or sin heavily, they would be struck by lightning. This is an especially common curse when someone does not give respect to their elders. It’s usually used to describe what would happen to unfilial kids etc.

Next, wings are firm. What does that mean? When birds hatch, they would stay in their nests until their wings are firm enough for them to fly off and create a home of their own. The Chinese use this in a sarcastic way to imply that someone thinks that they are grown enough and independent enough to not obey or seek advice from their parents. Cheers!

Chapter 781: Stand Side By Side With The Sun

In that instant, the entire world came to a standstill.

The audiences who were seated around Lin Fan watched this nonsense spouting fella with their jaws dropping apart. Without any hesitation, they fled as quickly as they could to get as far as possible away from him!

“Hurry up and run! That guy doesn’t want his life anymore!”

“Don’t get implicated!”

In a mere second, there was no one left around Lin Fan other than the Fourteen Sand Bandits.

Everyone was watching that man with their jaws wide open.

“Who in the world is he? Why would he dare to say something like that?”

“I’ve got no idea! But I think his brain must be rusty!”

“The Jiuling Female Empress is no kind soul! Her methods are extremely cruel!”

Lin Fan stood there. Hands behind his back and his head slightly tilted, he looked at everything in the distance with a sharp gaze.

PSHEW! PSHEW! PSHEW!

Zhang Ergou and the others on the seats bolted straight upright as though they had just witnessed something unbelievable. As though there was a heavy chain tied to their feet, they dragged their legs towards Lin Fan one step at a time.

“Indeed, I’ve learned something new today. With no one to look after you guys, your wings have gotten real firm indeed.”

Lin Fan called out in a cold tone. Even though his voice wasn’t loud, it was like a cold breeze, causing the hearts of Zhang Ergou and the others to freeze up entirely.

“It can’t be, right? All the powerful beings of the Saint Devil Sect and Jiuling Sect have all stood up! Are they thinking of striking him together?”

“Why would this young man say something as such? Is he courting death or something?!”

Some of the elders from the other sects looked at this figure in the distance in bewilderment, not knowing who in the world he was.

“CUCKUCKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

Chicky, who was seated on the chair comfortably, bolted upright as well when he heard that sentence. Using those glassy eyes of his, he looked over into the distance. Immediately, his wings fluttered as he bolted over.

There were even tears that were flowing out of those wide opened eyes of his, as though he had just been overwhelmed with emotions.

When Lin Fan caught sight of Chicky who was bolting over, his heart was filled with nostalgia as well. However, Lin Fan felt that he ought to maintain that stern outlook at this moment. Otherwise, they might really think that this issue would blow over just like that.

PIAK!

Chicky bolted over from the distance. He was practically reaching Lin Fan’s embrace when he was slapped down to the ground by Lin Fan.

Lin Fan did not use any strength at all. Otherwise, given the cultivation state of Chicky, he would definitely explode with just that single slap.

At this moment, those perverted three sons of Chicky fluttered over in a ruckus as they crowded and defended around Chicky.

Chicken Big, who was wearing gold and silver all over himself, naturally felt all his chicken hair standing at the sight of his Chicken Daddy being walloped. He cried out angrily. The metal accessories on his body even gave off clanking sounds from knocking into one another.

The non-mainstream hipster Chicken Two, who was sporting those fabulous colors on his chicken body, swung his tail left and right. Using his beak, he pecked furiously at Lin Fan’s toes. However, given Lin Fan’s physical body state, Chicken Two was the one that was feeling an unbearable pain by doing this.

That extremely fat Chicken Fat cried out loudly, and the big piece of meat in his mouth dropped onto the ground. He then bent down and picked that piece of meat back with his beak. Following which, he slammed against Lin Fan’s body with that rotund body of his, as though he wanted to fight Lin Fan with his life.

“CUCKCUCKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

Chicky hurriedly picked himself up from the ground. Using a single slap of his wings, he whacked all three of his chicken sons to the side and looked at Lin Fan with those pitiful and bright eyes of his. He cried out softly a couple of times before spreading his wings and hugging Lin Fan’s legs. When his head touched Lin Fan’s leg, he rubbed at it over and over again, as though he had truly missed this feeling.

All of the surrounding audiences were completely flabbergasted by this development.

“That can’t be, right?! That’s the extremely ferocious godly Guardian Beast of the Jiuling Sect! To think that the man would slap it away just like that!”

“And what in the world is going on here? To think that the horrifying godly Guardian Beast isn’t angry, but is hugging that guy’s legs instead!”

“I must be dreaming, right? If not, who in the world is that guy?!”

Looking at the way Chicky was, Lin Fan could not act on any longer as he picked him up with one hand.

“Alright, you roast chicken. Yours Truly has only been gone for a while now, haven’t I? And yet, you really know how to enjoy yourself, eh? To think that you would act first and report later to produce three little chicklings here. You had better not tell Yours Truly that these three sons of yours are all born from normal chickens!”

Lin Fan knew that Chicky was never a picky eater. As long as it were a hen, he could bear to do it. And furthermore, he had a particular fetish for domestic fowls.

And as for these three little chicklings, even though their bloodlines were strong, it was extremely mixed up, as though their mothers didn’t come from any strong and noble bloodlines at all.

“What? It truly is?”

Chicky, who was held in Lin Fan’s hand, nodded his head quietly as though he was silently acknowledging Lin Fan’s words.

Lin Fan shut his eyes gently, as though he was despairing.

Indeed, when he wasn’t around, this Chicky couldn’t control himself at all!

Lin Fan did not even know what to say any longer.

Chicky was the descendant that was derived from two of the Old Ancient Beasts! And now when it came to his generation, he gave birth to three little mixed bred descendants!

If Chicky’s father were to find out about this, wouldn’t he chop Chicky up?

Lin Fan let go of Chicky. Immediately, Chicky fluttered his wings and leaped onto Lin Fan’s shoulder.

To Chicky, this shoulder of Lin Fan was his proprietary. No one should even dream of snatching this spot away from him!

“M-MASTER…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

When Zhang Ergou and the others came before Lin Fan, they prostrated on the spot and yelled out emotionally. Seeing the return of their Master was naturally something that stirred up a myriad of emotions in their hearts.

But for the surrounding audiences, this single scene was blowing their minds apart.

“What are they doing?! Am I hearing things?!”

“Did they just call that young man their master?!!?”

“T-that…!!!”

Everyone was absolutely dumbstruck.

The Jiuling Sect and the Siant Devil Sect were incomparably strong! Which one of their elders weren’t terrifying existences?! But to think that this group of powerful beings would actually call a young man their master!?!? Wasn’t this way too astounding?!

“Ergou.” Lin Fan wasn’t truly angry. However, he did feel a little pissed in his heart.

“Yes, Master! Ergou is here!” Zhang Ergou who had always been authoritative to outsiders was extremely wretched and was cowering right now.

After all these years, Zhang Ergou had long spread his name far and wide. For anyone of the outside world, while they felt that the name Zhang Ergou was pretty crude, it did leave them extremely fearful.

But, the sight of this powerful being retracting that domineering aura of his and taking on a cowering position had them unable to come to terms with it.

As for Zhang Ergou, hiding his true self was really way too miserable of a life. Now that his Master who had been gone for five years had finally returned, Zhang Ergou truly wanted to get back to his true self.

When Lin Fan looked at this wretched state of Zhang Ergou, he had a slight headache as well. How had he not changed after all these years?

For Zhang Ergou, his life had already changed the very day he was taken a liking by his Master.

At times, Zhang Ergou would sigh when he thought carefully about this life of his. This was some f*cking unbelievable miracle to be honest.

“Right before I left, what did I tell you?” Lin Fan asked.

“AH!” Zhang Ergou was stunned. He then lowered his head embarrassedly.

“Master, you told me that after you leave, I must lead everyone together and stay united. We must love and take care of one another till you return.”

These were words that Zhang Ergou had always remembered. But looking at the situation right now, it didn’t seem the same as what he had promised.

“Oh, you still remember them? But the situation right now doesn’t seem all that right, eh? Or, do you mean to tell me I came back at the wrong time?” Lin Fan asked skeptically.

“Master, I’m in the wrong.” Zhang Ergou lowered his head and said in a soft voice. In front of Lin Fan, he was like a small boy waiting to be lectured by his parent for some wrongdoings.

“Okay. It’s good that you know you’re in the wrong.” Looking at Ergou behaving as such, Lin Fan did not continue.

When Zhang Ergou heard that his Master had forgiven him, his face turned cheeky once more. He then continued saying softly, “But actually, you can’t blame this entirely on me, Master. You know, Master, you love these two junior sisters so dearly! As the Big Senior Brother, how would I dare to interfere with them? So…so…”

Zhang Ergou looked at Lin Fan and blinked his eyes furiously, not daring to continue.

“Dog boy, you’ve changed. You’re trying to say that Your Master here is in the wrong indirectly?” Lin Fan asked.

“N-no! Master! Ergou definitely does not have those intentions!”

Even though that was the fact, in order to not have his Master continue berating him, Ergou could only go against his heart and explain hurriedly.

“You’re really way too dishonest. When we get back, you’re going to be in for it. But for now, we’ll leave it be first.” Lin Fan shook his head helplessly.

He then looked over at his two disciples.

“Why? The moment you guys see that your Master is back, you’re still standing there foolishly? Why? You want to continue scolding your Master?”

Seeing the crazy changes of these two disciples of his, Lin Fan was truly unable to come back to his senses for a moment or so. A young woman was indeed really different from the little girl she once was.

If he were to delay his return by another few years, wouldn’t these guys even fly up into the sky to stand side by side with the Sun?

Hahahaha. Alright, the last sentence is probably going to have you guys shrugging your heads in bewilderment. So, when someone says that another person is about to ‘Fly up to the skies to stand side by side with the Sun’, it’s an internet slang that mockingly means that they’re doing something out of their reaches or something outrageous. The follow up to that is ‘Go down to the seas and kiss the turtles (The slang for turtles in Chinese means bastard)’

Next, in case some of you forget about this since it’s been such a long time, Ergou literally means Two Dogs. Hence, the reason why some people found it a ‘crude name’ and Lin Fan referred to him as dog boy. Perhaps this might jolt your memories: Brother Dog! Brother Gou! Remember? Haha! Cheers!
