Chapter 772: Join the Wangu Sect, Become the Saint Heir of Wangu Sect? (5th Update)
"Seventh Rank Saint Emperor, very powerful!" Emperor Jade continued: "The difference between Seventh Rank and Sixth Rank seems to be only a minor realm, but in reality, at the Saint Emperor Realm, a minor realm's difference is more terrifying than a major realm's difference among Low Rank Cultivators! Lin Fan, be careful!"
Emperor Jade was extremely solemn.
He even stopped calling him 'Little Fanfan', and directly addressed him by his name.
This was also Lin Fan's first confrontation with a Seventh Rank Saint Emperor.
Of course.
In the past, Lin Fan had also encountered a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor!
The Dragon King from the Dragon Clan, Ao Kang, was a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor.
That kind of terrifying authority, simply horrific, left one without the slightest inclination to resist!
And a Seventh Rank Saint Emperor was similarly terrifying.
Just Ming Xiao gazing at Lin Fan made him experience a whiff of death, as if the Death God himself had firmly locked onto him!
"Hahaha! Lin Fan, you have today too, this is a Seventh Rank Saint Emperor! Do you understand what that means? If he wants to kill you, a single finger is enough to crush you! Trash, little scum, you're doomed today!" Yuan Hong burst into excited laughter, jumping around on the spot, thrilled beyond measure!
The next second.
Ming Xiao swept them with a cold glance, "Shut up!"
The terrifying authority of the Seventh Rank Saint Emperor instantly enveloped Yuan Hong, who clammed up like a quail, fearfully shutting his mouth!
At that moment, the scene was very quiet, cold and chilly.
Everyone even felt a dangerous aura breezing through their spines!
A moment of silence.
A short while later.
Ming Xiao spoke, his gaze sizing up Lin Fan, as if evaluating a precious treasure, his eyes filled with fervor: "I've heard of your exploits; you killed our Wangu Sect's Saint Heir and five Saint Emperors. Your strength is indeed terrifying, and your talent is unbelievably exceptional, surprising indeed. Moreover, I can tell from your eyes that you are truly young, not falsely so. If you were older, your eyes wouldn't be this clear and pure!"
"Thus, I guess you are a young man! A very young man!"
Upon hearing Ming Xiao's words, all present were stunned.
Ming Xiao did not directly accuse Lin Fan of his crimes but talked about his age instead.
What was going on here?
As everyone pondered in confusion, Ming Xiao's serpent-head staff paused.
"Let me guess how old you are? Three hundred years, or two hundred? Or perhaps one hundred? Hehe! Impossible, right! How could you be merely one hundred years old?" Ming Xiao spoke to himself, shaking his head in disbelief.
It was as if speaking to everyone, yet also to himself.
"I estimate your age to be around two hundred, retaining the youthful vigor of an adolescent and the resilience, perseverance, and determination of a young adult! Indeed, a fine seedling!" Saying this, Ming Xiao couldn't help but praise deeply, his aged eyes showing undeniable affirmation.
Upon hearing this, the crowd finally had their realization.
Everyone had subconsciously overlooked Lin Fan's age!
Now that they thought about it, Lin Fan, so young and having slain a Fifth Rank Saint Emperor, even forcing a Sixth Rank Saint Emperor to self-destruct...
This talent could only be described as defying the heavens!
If one could bring Lin Fan into their forces, it's probable… that just with Lin Fan alone, one could lead a power towards glory in the future.
Lin Fan, however, found it somewhat amusing.
If he told everyone that he was actually just over twenty years old, it would probably scare a bunch of them to death!
A twenty-year-old powerhouse, capable of instantly killing a Sixth Rank Saint Emperor, truly terrifying!
"Could it be…"
Some people in the Bodhi Palace were already guessing Ming Xiao's thoughts.
As expected.
The next second.
Ming Xiao's eyes sharpened, admiring Lin Fan as if viewing a precious treasure, and said with a smile, "Lin Fan, you killed the Saint Heir of our Wangu Sect, but we will not pursue it! I can even publicly admit that the five Saint Emperors who attacked you that night were all from Wangu Sect! Just agree to join us at Wangu Sect, and become the new Saint Heir of Wangu Sect, I assure you, everything will be dropped! I, the old man, can even swear on my life!"
"What?"
"As expected!"
All those present shuddered, their gazes turning towards Ming Xiao in horror.
There was shock in their eyes, yet it seemed inevitable.
The talent of Lin Fan was simply too heaven-defying!
To kill him...what a pity, when he could be harnessed for their own powers, why kill him?
"How… can this be!" Yuan Hong's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes filled with endless resentment, jealousy, and envy as he looked at Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan...that's great... please agree! As long as you agree to Elder Ming Xiao, you don't have to die..." Mu Mengrui was extremely excited, clutching the corners of her clothes tightly, her cute face under her veil filled with excitement.
She was genuinely happy for Lin Fan.
This is Wangu Sect after all!
Even more powerful than Bodhi Palace!
Lin Fan did not speak or express any stance.
However, Ming Xiao was not in a rush, he continued to smile and said: "Lin Fan, you are a smart man, you should know the choice of a smart person! How about this, old man gives you another promise, if you join Wangu Sect, the position of the next Sect Master of Wangu Sect will be yours! Even, I can take you as my disciple, and all the elders, Supreme Elders of the entire Wangu Sect, can become your masters, guiding your cultivation! Money, women, status… whatever you want, we can provide it for you!"
"Even, if you are interested, we can find you an empire to be the Emperor and experience what it feels like to be an Emperor! Or, gather all the wealth under the heavens for your usage!"
"Just agree to join Wangu Sect, and become the Saint Heir of Wangu Sect!"
Ming Xiao's words made everyone present gape in astonishment!
Such grand promises!
Such terrifying promises!
For just one Lin Fan, Ming Xiao offered so many benefits and tempting conditions.
Everyone knows who Ming Xiao is!
The Third Elder of Wangu Sect!
The promises given by Ming Xiao could almost be said to be the promises of the Sect Master of Wangu Sect, perhaps even the Supreme Elder of Wangu Sect knows about this.
And they were spoken in front of so many people!
At this moment.
Just a nod from Lin Fan, and he would become the Saint Heir of Wangu Sect!
Such a temptation, who could withstand it?
In the distance, Yuan Hong was almost dying of jealousy!!!
And Mu Mengrui was very hopeful that Lin Fan would agree to Ming Xiao.
Under the spotlight, Lin Fan slightly nodded with a smile and said, "Truly tempting! I almost agreed!"
The corners of Ming Xiao's mouth revealed a faint smile.
Obviously.
Anyone would have agreed!
"But..."
Lin Fan's words took a turn, his face mocking as he stared at Ming Xiao, retorted, "Since your Wangu Sect nearly got me killed, leaving me severely injured and almost costing my life! In other words, your Wangu Sect and I are sworn enemies. If it were you, if I killed your entire family and then offered you lots of money, status, beautiful women to be my lapdog, would you agree? Idiot!"
