Chapter 189: This Kind of Cheap Trick, I Saw Through It Long Ago

In the great hall.

"Are you really going out to train?" The Sect Master Yan was truly reluctant now. This kid had inherited the ancestor's Eternal Axe; if he went out and got himself killed, that would be a tragedy.

But seeing the excitement on Lin Fan's face, Sect Master Yan knew there was no refusing him.

"No, Sect Master, I've been in the sect long enough. My cultivation is at a bottleneck now, and I need an opportunity to break through," Lin Fan said.

He was someone who roamed the vast world; how could he always stay in the sect? Besides, his strength wasn't yet at the peak. Although life was still rich, he felt uneasy.

If one day the tragedy of the Holy Demon Sect happened to the Holy Sect, he would truly regret it.

Before, he hadn't taken cultivation seriously, just playing around every day. Now, for Lin Fan, he had to raise his cultivation even while having fun.

Sect Master Yan knew he couldn't talk him out of it and finally reluctantly agreed.

"You can go out to train, but you must wait until tomorrow to leave." Sect Master Yan planned to go back and discuss it with the Supreme Elder. Now that Lin Fan was the sect's treasure, no matter what, his safety had to be ensured.

Lin Fan glanced at Sect Master Yan and finally nodded. "Alright, I'll leave the sect tomorrow."

Then, after chatting with the Sect Master for a few more words, Lin Fan shouldered his axe and headed toward Nameless Peak.

Having obtained the divine artifact Eternal Axe, Lin Fan didn't want to be too low-key. When it was time to show off, he had to show off; he couldn't hide it forever.

As Lin Fan walked through the sect, some disciples he passed looked at him curiously.

"Uncle, this axe is so mighty!" a disciple exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Fan smiled slightly. "It's just average. I got it from the Sect Master's inheritance."

"What?" The surrounding disciples were stunned. The Sect Master's inheritance? Could it be that the Sect Master had already chosen the next Sect Master?

But then they were puzzled. When had the inheritance ever included a weapon? Could Uncle be lying?

"Uncle, can we touch it?" The disciples looked at the giant axe on Lin Fan's shoulder with curiosity.

Although the giant axe looked ordinary, its flowing light showed it was no ordinary axe.

"No, this axe only recognizes me. Even the Sect Master tried to touch it and was bounced off. For your safety, better not touch it." Seeing the envy in his little junior nephews' eyes, Lin Fan felt delighted. This was the real taste of life.

"Wow..."

The surrounding disciples exclaimed in awe. "Such a treasure can only be owned by Uncle Lin."

"Yeah, last time in the Top Prodigy Battle, Uncle Lin won first place. Now with such a divine weapon, it's truly the sect's fortune."

Listening to his little junior nephews' flattery, Lin Fan's heart had already floated away.

"I don't believe it..." Just then, a figure suddenly emerged from the crowd and reached for the giant axe on Lin Fan's shoulder.

Lin Fan looked at the person, slightly puzzled. Who was this guy? How could he be so presumptuous?

"Bang..."

The moment Lu Yan touched the giant axe, a flash of light from the axe repelled him.

The surrounding disciples watched in amazement.

"Who is this guy? Uncle said not to touch it, and he still tried."

"Who knows? Uncle Lin never lies. This guy didn't believe it and brought it on himself."

"Maybe he wanted to make an impression on Uncle Lin, but Uncle Lin treats everyone equally. Such tricks won't work on him."

Lu Yan, repelled by the irresistible light, got up from the ground. In his calm eyes flickered a trace of resentment.

This Lu Yan was the one Lin Fan hadn't favored months ago when selecting weed-pullers from the servant disciples. Now, months later, Lu Yan had broken through from the Houtian realm to the Xiantian realm with the help of a mysterious Buddhist bead and become an outer disciple.

"Junior nephew, are you alright?" Lin Fan asked.

Lu Yan glanced at Lin Fan and then left.

"This guy..." Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. This disciple didn't seem like a good person. Anyone who couldn't get along with him couldn't be a good person.

"He's too arrogant!"

"Who is this guy? Do you know him? He's so rude to Uncle Lin."

"He seems to be an outer disciple promoted from the servant disciples last month. Something Yan."

...

Lin Fan didn't think too much about it. He waved his hand. "Alright, everyone disperse. Your uncle is leaving the sect tomorrow for training. When I come back, I'll bring you some fun stuff."

"Thank you, Uncle."

The disciples were delighted and saw Lin Fan off.

When he returned to Nameless Peak, Lin Fan immediately put the giant axe into his backpack and started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to pack.

"Heh, wanting me to leave tomorrow? No way. I saw through this delaying trick long ago," Lin Fan said. He had already seen that the Sect Master didn't intend to let him go.

At first, Lin Fan might have believed the Sect Master would let him leave, but after obtaining the Eternal Axe, there was no way he would be allowed to go.

After all, they wanted to ensure his safety, but staying in the sect all the time was boring. How could he not go out and see the world?

Thinking back to last time, when he followed the sect to the Misty Snow Peak, his cultivation skyrocketed. It rose so fast, without any warning.

Therefore, anyone who tried to stop him from going out would have to fight him.

But thinking about the Sect Master's strength, Lin Fan had no hope at all.

At that moment, Lin Fan opened the chest, packed a few clothes and daily necessities, and then immediately ran to Alchemy Peak.

Going out without preparing thoroughly just wouldn't do.

Lin Fan was now a celebrity on Alchemy Peak, so he could come and go unhindered. He swept through, collecting many herbs he saw. After gathering enough herbs, he returned to Nameless Peak.

Lin Fan called over Cai Zhiqiao, Zhang Ergou, and the others to explain things. He said he was going out for training for a while and told them to take good care of the peak.

Cai Zhiqiao was naturally reluctant to see Lin Fan leave, but when she thought about him bringing her gifts when he returned, she happily nodded.

"Alright, I'm off now. All of you cultivate well and take care of little junior sister." Lin Fan waved at them and then went down Nameless Peak. When he reached the halfway point, he instantly entered stealth mode and ran toward the mountain gate.
