Chapter 163: The Very Obedient Mie Qiongqi

Elder Cui of the Punishment Hall, who oversaw countless prisoners in the detention hall, felt a pang of pain in his heart every time a sect disciple was locked up. These were all sect disciples, yet they had ended up like this.

Among these hundreds of prisoners, the one that pained Elder Cui the most was Mie Qiongqi. He was a prodigy of the sect, a genius rarely seen in a century. The upper echelons of the sect had high hopes for him, believing that the future of the Holy Sect would flourish in his hands. But unexpectedly, this man had gone mad and killed his fellow disciples.

This alone was unforgivable.

The six years of whipping punishment were not the sect's intention. Even if he showed signs of repentance, the sect would have let bygones be bygones and reinstated him.

But the moment he was locked in the Punishment Hall, Mie Qiongqi had completely changed—lawless, looking down on everyone.

Now, Junior Brother Lin wanted Mie Qiongqi to turn back from the wrong path; this was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

In the sect's view, Mie Qiongqi was utterly possessed, with no hope of redemption.

But when Elder Cui pushed open the door and saw the scene before him, his expression changed instantly. The handcuffs restraining Mie Qiongqi were all unlocked.

Looking again, he saw Junior Brother Lin sitting there calmly.

"Junior Brother, are you alright?" Elder Cui immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, afraid that this wicked disciple had harmed Lin Fan. But seeing Lin Fan safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Fan gave a faint smile, waved his hand, indicating he was fine.

"Wicked disciple, what are you doing?" At that moment, Elder Cui saw the fierce intent in Mie Qiongqi's eyes and shouted angrily. Now that his cultivation had been sealed by the Supreme Elder, he still dared to act recklessly—utterly beyond cure.

A misfortune for the sect, truly a misfortune for the sect.

"Hmph, kill! I'll fight you to the death!" Mie Qiongqi, who had been quite docile, suddenly erupted in fury, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, as if he wanted to fight to the death.

Even if he had lost all his cultivation, he would still crush the other party.

This state of mind had nothing to do with temperament. In Lin Fan's view, Mie Qiongqi had completely changed. That ferocity had taken shape, and trying to change it was harder than reaching the heavens.

Elder Cui's expression hardened, and he shook his head regretfully. This boy was beyond saving.

But at that moment, a scene that Elder Cui and the disciples could not believe unfolded.

"Kneel."

Lin Fan, sitting there gently, spoke calmly with an unchanged expression.

Regarding Mie Qiongqi, Lin Fan already had an idea. This guy was now tamed by him, but toward others, Mie Qiongqi still retained his ferocity. For Lin Fan, this was a good thing.

Lin Fan's voice was ordinary, sounding normal to Elder Cui and the others, without any shock. But to Mie Qiongqi's ears, it was like a thunderclap. His狂暴 heart suddenly trembled, and an irresistible demonic sound filled his heart, forcing him to obey.

"Thud..."

In an instant, Mie Qiongqi, who had been fierce, suddenly fell to his knees, his proud head deeply bowed. The previous ferocity vanished without a trace.

"This..." Elder Cui, who had been about to suppress Mie Qiongqi, stared dumbfounded at the scene. He could hardly believe that Mie Qiongqi, who had lost all humanity, would obey Junior Brother Lin's words. It was utterly baffling.

"How is this possible?" a disciple beside him asked in astonishment.

"This Mie Qiongqi has lost all humanity and looks down on everyone. How can he be so obedient now?"

"What method did Uncle-Master Lin use to subdue him?"

The disciples discussed among themselves, unable to believe what had happened. They had spent quite some time with Mie Qiongqi.

Mie Qiongqi was powerful and looked down on everyone, regardless of who they were.

Once, the Sect Leader himself came to urge him to reform, but Mie Qiongqi cursed him out thoroughly. In the end, the Sect Leader gave up on him in anger, leaving him to his own devices. Now, they couldn't believe that this ferocious demon would actually obey Uncle-Master Lin's words.

This was simply impossible.

"Hmph, how dare you speak to Elder Cui like that? Apologize to me now." Lin Fan's voice carried authority without anger, and his faint words struck Elder Cui and the others like thunder.

They had heard the Sect Leader speak similar words, but they had no effect on Mie Qiongqi.

But now, whether they believed it or not, it was happening right before their eyes.

Mie Qiongqi raised his proud head, looked at Elder Cui and the disciples behind him, his eyes filled with fear.

"Elder Cui, I'm sorry. This disciple was wrong."

These simple words, spoken calmly by Mie Qiongqi, struck Elder Cui and the others like thunder, leaving them in disbelief.

Elder Cui's astonished gaze fixed on Lin Fan. "Junior Brother, what method did you use?"

Elder Cui couldn't believe what he was seeing. He never thought that this stubborn disciple would be so obedient to Lin Fan. This... this...

At that moment, Lin Fan gave a faint smile, raised his head, and showed a regretful expression. "These disciples are still children. Now that they've gone astray, we need to guide them carefully and bring them back to the right path. Although Mie Qiongqi is stubborn by nature, he is not beyond saving. I just had a talk with him and made him understand some great principles. The effect is good, but we still need to observe for a while."

For Lin Fan, these disciples were all prodigies of the sect. And now that the secondary profession 'Tamer' was so powerful, Lin Fan naturally couldn't waste it; he had to make good use of it.

If he could bring Mie Qiongqi under his command, the future would be remarkable.

Especially Mie Qiongqi. In Lin Fan's view, he seemed to have the template of an ultimate dark protagonist. The 'Undying and Indestructible' technique, in Lin Fan's opinion, was a golden finger, and it must involve some great secret.

Although Lin Fan didn't know what exactly was involved, according to the usual pattern, it would all come to light as the story developed.

Judging from Mie Qiongqi's current situation, the story should still be in its early stages.

Lin Fan had a sharp mind, so his thoughts were naturally more flexible than others.

In the early stages, any high-end, impressive character would become a dime a dozen by the middle and later stages.

As someone with the greatest golden finger, Lin Fan naturally knew that the most important thing now was to quickly improve his strength. He shouldn't think too much about other things.

Elder Cui listened to Lin Fan's words, his expression slightly changing, and he felt helpless inside.

They had never given up on the idea of making Mie Qiongqi return to the sect, but Mie Qiongqi had lost all humanity and never gave them a chance.

Now, he was so obedient to Lin Fan, which left them astonished.

At that moment, Lin Fan looked at everyone, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth. If Mie Qiongqi dared to disobey him, then what awaited him was the ultimate essence of the 'Tamer.'
