Chapter 396: Are These People Even Human?
Martial Path Mountain was right ahead. Zhu Shen felt really relieved that they were back. Their trip outside made him so nervous that he felt like he could die.
Zhu Shen was not satisfied with his own strength.
He was just at Dao Realm Stage Three.
It seemed really strong but compared to those peak experts, he was far off. Moreover, he had now turned into a pig and his strength had been affected. He could only kill those average stage three experts.
Who knew how long it would take for him to recover to his peak strength?
The pig body didn’t provide him with any benefits. Was it that he hadn’t found the secret to transforming or was he definitely stuck being a pig?
If it was a normal pig body, then that would be a tragedy.
“This is Martial Path Mountain, my sect. You can all call me Sect Leader Lin here.” Lin Fan said. He placed Nine Demon down and patted his head. “Go and tell them we are back.”
Nine Demon quickly climbed up the mountain.
Cha Fu was really curious. Lin Fan’s cultivation wasn’t weak, so his sect had to be strong but when he looked at it, he was disappointed. There was nothing special about it; it was even weaker than that of Qianji Mountain.
Suddenly, a joyous sound spread into their ears.
“Young Master.”
There was a streak of light that dashed from the mountain. He was so quick that Cha Fu was shocked. This speed wasn’t much different from his.
“Eh!”
Lin Fan was confused. It seemed like his guesses were right and Gou’zi did gain the power of faith.
“Zhu Shen, what is Gou’zi’s cultivation now?”
Gou’zi wasn’t that familiar with his control of strength yet, so he was unable to properly contain his aura.
Zhu Shen’s eyes and mouth opened wide and he didn’t dare to believe his pig eyes.
What was going on?
He knew that Gou’zi who had been by Young Master’s side and didn’t have any strength at all. He was just a weakling.
What was going on now?
He realized that Young Master Lin was unsurprised at all. It was as if he had known long ago. Zhu Shen instantly comprehended that this had something to do with Young Master Lin.
“He should be at Domain Realm.” Zhu Shen replied.
Si!
Lin Fan wanted to suck in a deep breath but since the air was too cold, it could hurt his lungs.
Domain Realm, wasn’t that just one realm lower than him.
Looking closely, purple faith spread forth from Gou’zi’s body. This meant that Gou’zi’s faith in him reached the peak, the highest attainable level.
When he repaid Gou’zi for the faith, he didn’t hold anything back and just provided him with all his power.
Whether or not he could continue to help Gou’zi raise his cultivation would depend on his own. He was only at Stage One of Dao Realm, so naturally, he couldn’t help Gou’zi get to Dao Realm.
“Young Master, I miss you so much.” Gou’zi was so emotional that he was about to cry. Young Master left for a period of time and Gou’zi always felt like something was missing when he stared at the empty Martial Path Mountain every day.
Of course, Gou’zi didn’t really care much about Feng Poliu and the others.
Lin Fan smiled, “Am I back now?”
Gou’zi thought back to his body changes and was about to cry. “Young Master, look at me. I was a normal person, but suddenly I gained such strength. Feng Poliu said that something happened to me or that something evil is attaching to me and harming me. He said that maybe I am going to die soon.”
When he heard what Gou’zi said, Lin Fan wanted to beat Feng Poliu up. It was okay that he didn’t know what was going on, but why did he have to casually scare him like that?
Looking at Gou’zi now, he was about to be frightened to death by Feng Poliu.
“Don’t worry, it is nothing. This is my reward to you. Didn’t you always look down on yourself for not having strength? In the future, you won’t have to worry anymore.” Lin Fan consoled him.
“Young Master, you aren’t lying to me, right?” Gou’zi was still a little nervous.
The main reason was that he felt like this was too mysterious.
Young Master was not at Martial Path Mountain, so how could he reward him?
Zhu Shen didn’t say anything and just observed what was going on.
Maybe he would be able to find the secret soon.
“Did the power disappear?” Lin Fan smiled and retracted the faith power. The surging power in Gou’zi’s body disappeared without a trace. Shortly after, he continued to send faith power over to him.
Gou’zi smiled. “Oh right.”
Oh my god.
Zhu Shen felt like his views on life were being refreshed.
He was actually personally witnessing things that he didn’t dare to imagine in the past.
Gou’zi’s power disappeared for a moment before appearing once more. That was just so magical.
What kind of secret technique was it to have such an effect?
Lin Fan was also doing it from 10,000 miles away.
Lin Fan smiled. “Okay, stop overthinking. Let’s head up.”
This was all Zhu Shen was thinking about.
He muttered to himself.
Impossible, this is impossible.
Now, not only Zhu Shen felt like it was impossible.
Cha Fu was stunned. Gou’zi was so young but his cultivation was so strong. Young Master Lin’s words were so deep that he didn’t understand and wasn’t willing to understand it either.
But Gou’zi did exist and his strength was there for everyone to see.
Cha Fu touched his heart.
Was the world really not suitable for old people to live in anymore?
Zhen Xiaobao and Mu Gang didn’t have much of a reaction but Xu Furong was so envious that he was about to cry. How could this happen? I also want to become strong too.
Back at the mountain, Feng Poliu had come out a long time ago and the first thing he talked about was Gou’zi.
It was really unbelievable that his strength could reach such a level.
Of course, everyone envied him.
Lin Fan told Feng Poliu that he was the reason for it. Feng Poliu blinked like he was looking at a fool.
But very quickly, Lin Fan proved to Feng Poliu who the fool was.
In the dining area, Gou’zi prepared delicious dishes for Lin Fan. Lin Fan said that he wasn’t able to eat anything good outside, so Gou’zi got busy.
“Sect Leader, what is going on outside?” Zhang Tianshan asked. He had been paying attention to the situation outside but it was tough to get news here. He wanted to head out but it was really dangerous and he was scared that he might meet the Alliance.
Lin Fan said, “Not good, it is quite problematic. The Alliance has stretched quite far in and I predict that an intense battle is inevitable.”
“Young Master Lin, why do you think so?” Feng Poliu asked.
He didn’t believe that a war would occur. After all, it wouldn’t bring any benefits to anyone at all.
Lin Fan smiled, “I am guessing. As for whether it would really happen, that would depend on them.”
Feng Poliu looked at Lin Fan and knew that he was bragging again.
Very quickly, the fragrance of delicious food wafted into his nose as Gou’zi carried dishes over. He cooked them all for Young Master, so he obviously didn’t care about the others.
Lin Fan had been out for so long and hadn’t had a good meal.
Gou’zi’s dishes suited his taste and was extremely delicious.
“I have an important thing to do now that I am back which is to develop Martial Path Mountain. Do all of you have any ideas?” Lin Fan asked. He continued, “If not, then I will follow my plan.”
When Zhang Tianshan heard that he wanted to develop Martial Path Mountain, he was so excited.
But what Lin Fan said made him shut up.
Since he was saying that, then what else could he suggest?
“Young Master Lin, how shall we develop? We can’t even find another person here, much less develop.” Feng Poliu said.
That was true.
It was so much better in Jiang City. Now, it was just too late.
If Lin Fan knew what Feng Poliu was thinking, he would definitely grumble.
“What ideas can I have? If the Chief God faith appeared earlier, it might be of much better use.”
Just at that moment, sounds spread out from outside the mountain.
“When did a sect appear in this ownerless mountain. Who is the sect leader, come out.” The person who spoke was a slightly younger old man. His hair was a mix of white and black. He stood with his arms behind his back and gave off a majestic aura.
He wasn’t at Dao Realm but it was fluctuating around that of Yin Yang Realm.
“Elder, I came here in the past, but I didn’t see any sect here.” A young disciple said.
Another disciple said, “Maybe some person thinks that he is strong, so he found a place to set up a sect. After all, the world is in a mess and sects won’t be restricted by the Imperial Dynasty. Everyone feels that they have some strength.”
Lin Fan grabbed the soup ladle and walked over while drinking. He was very calm and casual and didn’t care about what was going on at all.
“Who are you?”
His tone was a little impatient. They were discussing how to develop Martial Path Mountain and these random people came here to disturb them.
At the same time, the fact that someone was here meant that Martial Path Mountain wasn’t hidden enough, and other people would still be able to find them.
Lin Fan was too young. Even if he was in the center, he didn’t attract much attention.
The old man pointed at Zhang Tianshan and said, “Are you the sect leader of this Martial Path Mountain?”
Zhang Tianshan said, “I am the deputy Sect Leader.”
“Then, are you the Sect Leader?” The old man pointed at Cha Fu and said.
Cha Fu shook his head, “No…”
Zhang Tianshan pointed at Lin Fan, “He is the one you are looking for. He is actually standing right in front of you.”
“Eh?” The old man frowned in disbelief but he didn’t really care. His goal of coming wasn’t to guess who the Sect Leader was.
“Okay, I don’t care about which one of you is the Sect Leader. I am the elder of Long Rainbow Sect. This area is in our control and this mountain is in our territory, so you are all under us. You have one choice which is to yield to us. From now onwards Martial Path Mountain will be managed by my sect.”
The old man looked at everyone in front of him. All the sects were occupying land now and their Long Rainbow Sect was no exception.
“Eh!”
Instantly, the old man noticed Mu Gang standing behind Lin Fan. He started to have some ideas about her looks.
“This brat looks good. Follow me back to the sect.”
Lin Fan drank his soup and he felt really tired. “Old man, do you think your body is still okay?”
“Forget it, I am lazy to talk to you. Gou’zi.”
Gou’zi stepped out and stared at him aggressively, “Whoever dares to interrupt my Young Master’s meal and prey on my Young Master’s maid deserves to die.”
At that moment, Lin Fan had an idea.
Didn’t Martial Path Mountain need to find people to get stronger?
Weren’t they people?
“Gou’zi, return.” Lin Fan shouted. If Gou’zi attacked, then many of them would die.
