Chapter 777: Is It Fear, or Disobedience? (3rd Update)
Yuan Xi's voice was extremely solemn; this was no joke!
"Hahahaha!"
Lin Fan burst into laughter, looking at Yuan Xi with a cold sneer, "I'm going to kill, and I'll do it right in front of all of you. What can you do to me? Bodhi Palace, I'm so scared!"
As soon as he finished speaking!
Lin Fan made his move!
Instant Escape!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan had bypassed Yuan Xi and Yuan Hui, appearing in front of Yuan Hong. The Xuanyuan Sword in his hand stabbed straight through Yuan Hong's heart!
"Pugh!"
Yuan Hong spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, staring at Lin Fan in horror, realizing this was what death felt like!
"You... you dare kill me... you... will not die a good death..."
"I might not die a good death, but it's still better than you, dead eunuch! Half-man!" A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth.
"Ah... you..."
Yuan Hong's eyes were about to pop out, even in his dying moments, filled with extreme anger!
"Die!"
Lin Fan uttered coldly, as the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand shook violently!
"Bang!"
Yuan Hong's body exploded on the spot, turning into a mist of blood, dead!
"No! My son, Hong'er!"
Seeing her own son dead, Yuan Hui's eyes were about to split with fury, as she howled, completely losing her composure, her face as ugly as a pig's liver, utterly bereft of humanity.
"You brat, I will kill you, kill you!"
"Oh? Just try it!" Lin Fan looked at Yuan Hui, amused; a Sixth Rank Saint Emperor's cultivation was nothing to him now.
"You!"
Yuan Hui stood there like a wild beast, glaring at Lin Fan.
But.
She did not make another move!
Yuan Hui, though furious, was no fool!
Lin Fan's strength was terrifying; over a dozen Saint Emperors from the Wangu Sect would flee at the sight of Lin Fan; if she went now, it would be suicide.
"Palace Master, a disciple of the Bodhi Palace has been killed, aren't you, as the Palace Master, going to take action?" Yuan Hui's gaze shifted to Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi's brow furrowed, falling silent for a second!
She took a step forward!
Although Yuan Xi knew Yuan Hui was using her as a pawn, she still had to stand up; after all, many of the Elders and disciples of the Bodhi Palace were present. If Yuan Xi did not act, how could she command respect in the future?
"Master... don't... Yuan Hong deserved death..." Mu Mengrui quickly stepped forward and pleaded.
"Mu Mengrui, what are you saying? Are you still the Young Palace Master of the Bodhi Palace? A disciple of the Bodhi Palace is dead, yet you side with an outsider and say that a disciple of the Bodhi Palace deserves death! Mu Mengrui, is this how you fulfill your duty as the Young Palace Master, acting unworthy even of a dog?" Yuan Hui shrieked, venomously glowering at Mu Mengrui, like a vengeful ghost.
"That's right, Mu Mengrui, you can't let Yuan Hong be killed by an outsider just because you don't like him, can you?"
"Exactly! Yuan Hong is a disciple of our Bodhi Palace, and you say he deserves to die? What do you mean by that?"
"Mu Mengrui, do you even qualify to be the Young Palace Master?"
"Palace Master, before killing Lin Fan, we demand the revocation of Mu Mengrui's position as the Young Palace Master!"
"That's right! Mu Mengrui does not deserve to be the Young Palace Master!"
"Revoke Mu Mengrui!"
...
A wave of protest erupted from all around, these people were almost all subordinates of Yuan Hui, or her followers.
These female disciples had long disliked Mu Mengrui!
And even envied Mu Mengrui!
Now that they had the chance, why not crush Mu Mengrui to death?
"Silence! Lin Fan is mine to kill; it's not your place to blabber!"
Yuan Xi snapped, her eyes still fixed on Lin Fan.
"Is the Palace Master not taking action?" Yuan Hui sneered coldly.
"Palace Master, what are you still hesitating about?"
"Exactly, even though you are the Palace Master, there's no need to protect Mu Mengrui like this, right?"
"Sigh! We'd better say less, lest the Palace Master remembers us, and then we'll have a hard time in the Bodhi Palace!"
"Yes! Let's all keep quiet!"
...
Those female disciples, almost in self-mockery, spoke such words, making Yuan Xi's face turn extremely unsightly.
If they were ordinary disciples, how could they dare to mock her, the Palace Master, like this? However, these disciples were subordinates of Yuan Hui, and she had no control over them.
Therefore.
These disciples, that's why they dared to be so unbridled!
Suddenly.
"Silence!"
An authoritative voice descended from the heavens, causing everyone present to shut their mouths and look towards the same direction in terror!
That direction was where the Forbidden Land of Bodhi Palace lay.
In that place, resided the only Divine Ancestor of the Bodhi Palace!
"The events just now, I, the Divine Ancestor, have seen everything. This matter is not Lin Fan's fault! Yuan Hong's death, from this moment on, shall be put to rest. Anyone who brings up this matter again in the future shall be deemed in violation of the palace's rules!" The authoritative voice continued.
"What? Divine Ancestor... You..." Yuan Hui, unconvinced, looked up towards the direction of the Forbidden Land.
"What? Yuan Hui, are you not convinced?" That authoritative voice suddenly became three degrees colder, a terrifying pressure rising in Yuan Hui's heart.
In an instant!
A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Yuan Hui's mouth!
"I..."
Yuan Hui, terrified, lowered her head, her face pale and her body trembling, her forehead breaking out in cold sweat: "I... I dare not!"
"Is it that you dare not, or are you not convinced?"
The oppressive power intensified by threefold!
"I dare not! I dare not! The disciple dares not!" Yuan Hui knelt on the ground with a thump.
At this moment, Yuan Hui was just like a quail!
"Hmph! In the future, I do not wish for anyone to question the words of this ancestor!" With a cold snort from that voice, the pressure on Yuan Hui suddenly disappeared, and everyone else present held their breath, their hearts stopping in beat.
And Lin Fan, standing aside, was already immensely shocked inside!
"Emperor Jade, this person is so powerful! Just the pressure alone made a Sixth Rank Saint Emperor vomit blood and get injured! Too terrifying, if she makes a move on me, what chances do I have of surviving?" Lin Fan asked.
"If the full probability is 100, then your chances of surviving are about 0.01." Emperor Jade answered.
"Cough cough! So you're saying I'm as good as dead?" Lin Fan felt a chill in his heart.
Emperor Jade said indifferently: "You won't die. From the very beginning, the Divine Ancestor of the Bodhi Palace has been paying attention to you. No matter when, I have not felt any intent to kill from her, so rest assured, she certainly does not want to kill you, otherwise you would have died long ago, and there wouldn't be so much fuss."
"Then, I'm relieved!" Lin Fan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time.
The voice of the Bodhi Palace Divine Ancestor continued to come, saying: "Young man, come to the Forbidden Land, I have some matters I wish to confirm."
"What?"
"He...???"
Upon hearing the Divine Ancestor's words, everyone from the Bodhi Palace was stunned, their gazes towards Lin Fan filled with surprise, confusion, amazement, and shock.
They knew that since they had joined the Bodhi Palace, they had never seen anyone who had been invited by the Divine Ancestor to enter the Forbidden Land!
Even the Palace Master of the Bodhi Palace was only allowed to enter the Forbidden Land when she requested to meet with the Divine Ancestor.
When had the Divine Ancestor ever actively invited someone else?
This was a first for Lin Fan!
"Is there danger?" Lin Fan asked through a transmitted message.
"No!" Emperor Jade replied.
"Alright, then I will go and see." Lin Fan nodded secretly to himself.
