CHAPTER 712: CHAPTER 710 HOW ABOUT IT, WHAT DO YOU THINK? (FIRST UPDATE)

"Sect Master, this is how it happened!" Elder Guo began, explaining the recent events one by one.

After hearing the explanation.

The high-ranking members of the Cloud Flowing Sect all had their facial expressions wildly change!

"What?"

"This child is actually so defiant of the heavens!"

"Sect Master, we must take this person in. I can accept him as my closed-door disciple, and pass on all my life’s ultimate techniques to him!"

"Damn it! Why should you, Old Bao, get all the good stuff? This kid, I want him, I’ll take him as my disciple!"

"What do the two of you count for? He’s mine!"

...

No one expected that a group of elders from the Cloud Flowing Sect would actually fight over Lin Fan in front of everybody!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Wen was extremely frightened. If Lin Fan really became the closed-door disciple of an elder, how could she continue to get along in the Cloud Flowing Sect?

Zhou Wen was biting her red lips tightly, her whole body trembling—she was nearly scared to death!

Thus.

Zhou Wen had a stroke of genius amidst the urgency!

Suddenly.

A light flashed in her eyes, she stood out and shouted loudly: "Elders, this Lin Fan is not from our Lost Continent, he comes from the outside world!"

As soon as her words fell.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

All eyes suddenly landed on Zhou Wen’s face, filled with surprise and astonishment!

"From the outside world?"

"What’s going on?"

"Zhou Wen, make yourself clear!"

More than a dozen elders, including Sect Master Linghu Han, all looked at Zhou Wen with grave expressions!

The Lost Continent had been cut off from the outside world for tens of millions of years!

In the past, to avoid the invasion of the Heavenly Demons from beyond their territory, everyone on the Lost Continent was forbidden to leave, and those outside the Lost Continent were forbidden to enter!

Any outsider who entered the Lost Continent had only one fate, and that was death!

Only the dead can forever keep the secrets of the Lost Continent!

Therefore.

If it is confirmed that Lin Fan is from the outside world, then... his fate is imaginable!

The reason for these measures is because the Heavenly Demon invasion from beyond the territory millions of years ago was utterly terrifying!

Dozens of continents like the Lost Continent were annihilated in an instant, completely turning into nothingness. The continents themselves were shattered in the Void, and countless living beings died!

This matter cannot be taken lightly!

It’s a matter of principle.

Even if Lin Fan is against the heavens, an evildoer, as long as he is not from the Lost Continent but instead from beyond the domain, then... Lin Fan will undoubtedly die!

"It’s like this, Chen Jian and I encountered him at Qixing Mountain..."

Zhou Wen hurriedly began speaking, explaining the incident of discovering Lin Fan at Qixing Mountain in detail.

"Therefore, I suspect that Lin Fan has come from another plane. Brother Chen Jian has been suspicious of Lin Fan’s identity from the start, but Qin Muqing has always been speaking up for Lin Fan. We all have our doubts about Lin Fan’s true identity!"

After the explanation was over, the people present looked at each other in dismay!

"Brother Chen Jian also wanted to kill Lin Fan because he knew Lin Fan’s identity! On the other hand, that Qin Muqing has always been hiding Lin Fan’s identity. Elders, I suspect Lin Fan’s purpose is to find the location of the Lost Continent!" Zhou Wen continued.

After listening to these words, everyone present was stunned.

"Are you from outside the Lost Continent, Lin Fan?"

Linghu Han’s voice was cold and indifferent, his gaze fixed on Lin Fan with an overwhelming authority that surged forth menacingly.

Lin Fan could feel it—Linghu Han’s cultivation was far more terrifying even than that old fellow Guo!

It might even surpass a Ninth Rank Holy Emperor!

"Little Fan Fan, you must not tell the truth! If you admit that you’re from outside the Lost Continent, these people... may well kill you immediately! I reckon their mindset has been completely swayed by the invasion of the Heavenly Demons from beyond, and there may be... big issues. They harbour a heavy hostility towards everyone, especially those from outside the Lost Continent!"

Emperor Jade spoke in a deep voice, warning Lin Fan.

"Of course, I’m aware—admitting it now is akin to seeking death!" Lin Fan knew.

Admission was certainly not an option now; once they confessed, these people would strike him down without a second’s hesitation, without any chance to explain himself!

Just as everyone was hesitating.

Lin Fan suddenly burst out, cursing vehemently!

"Are you idiots? If I weren’t from the Lost Continent, fuck! How could I, with a Body Integration Realm cultivation, traverse the void and come from another dimension?" Lin Fan exploded in anger, "If the Cloud Flowing Sect doesn’t want to recruit me, why bother coming up with so many excuses? I can simply leave if it comes to it!"

"What the hell is with you all, acting all sanctimonious! Or is it that you’re seeing my talent is too formidable, wanting to kill off a cultivation prodigy?"

"Fine then! Your Cloud Flowing Sect is too powerful for me to provoke, but I can certainly avoid; that’ll be good enough, right?"

Lin Fan put on an extremely angry facade, seething with rage!

He turned to leave!

"This..."

There was a moment of hesitation among the crowd!

Linghu Han and the Elders exchanged perplexed glances.

Indeed!

With Lin Fan’s cultivation, in the Early Stage of Body Integration, no matter how heaven-defying, how could he have come from another dimension?

Moreover.

After the Lost Continent had moved away from the Divine Wind Continent’s plane and concealed itself, a cultivator in the Body Integration Realm simply couldn’t have located it.

It was like.

Throwing a needle into a vast ocean!

And then casually scooping out that same needle from the immense sea—a probability that is almost impossible!

"Wait!"

A thought flashed across Linghu Han’s mind; judging from Lin Fan’s tone, it was very unlikely that he was someone from beyond this realm, and indeed, with Lin Fan’s limited cultivation, it was not possible for him to traverse the void to the Lost Continent!

The suspicion towards Lin Fan was thus significantly reduced!

"Lin Fan, we believe you now. As long as you agree to join the Cloud Flowing Sect, among the Elders present here, including myself, you can choose any one of us to be your master. Furthermore, we guarantee that we will mobilize all of Cloud Flowing Sect’s resources to nurture you to our utmost ability!" Linghu Han spoke gravely.

All the disciples present were stunned; they stood stock-still!

All of the Cloud Flowing Sect’s resources, just to cultivate Lin Fan?

That was outright madness!

Albeit Cloud Flowing Sect was one of the lower nine sects, its heritage was unimaginably powerful!

If all resources were to be tilted towards Lin Fan, his potential achievements were boundless!

"Of course, if you refuse to join the Cloud Flowing Sect..." Linghu Han’s tone shifted, filled with an intense threat.

Clearly.

If Lin Fan refused to join the Cloud Flowing Sect, his death was inevitable!

To have a genius on one’s own side was naturally the best!

If he couldn’t become a member of the Cloud Flowing Sect, then killing him to prevent his growth was optimal!

"What do you think, how will you decide?"

Linghu Han looked at Lin Fan with a smile that carried a mix of amiability and a bone-chilling murderous intent.

’This is bad... If Lin Fan agrees, then what about me...’ Zhou Wen’s heart plummeted to the abyss, her body cold as ice.
