Chapter 616: Hit Me

"Junior brothers and sisters, I'm sorry."

Boom!

When Liu Hen said these words, some disciples seemed unable to bear them and collapsed to the ground.

In their eyes, they must have seen a ghost today.

Otherwise, what was going on with the senior brother now?

Those disciples who had vied with Liu Hen for the position of sect leader were shocked and couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Who exactly was this human Lin Fan, that he could even subdue Liu Hen?

"Ahem." Lin Fan coughed lightly. "Your senior brother has turned over a new leaf. From now on, he will devote himself to the ancient clan. Junior brothers and sisters, please don't dwell on past matters."

The disciples looked at Lin Fan, then at the senior brother, and finally reluctantly believed it.

What else could they do?

As for Fang Weifeng, he had long since fled in terror. The moment the senior brother knelt and confessed, he ran off as if he had seen a ghost.

Lin Fan was very satisfied with today's outcome. After disciplining Liu Hen, he turned out to be a good choice.

Liu Hen had good strength and talent; killing him would have been a pity.

Now that the Ancient Saint Realm lacked talent, how could they all die by his hands?

For Lin Fan, it was time to leave the Cloud Sect.

After all, his goal was not to stay in the Cloud Sect forever. He had already visited the library, and now he needed to go out and find the ancient clans.

Only by going out could he quickly improve his strength. The eight supreme ancient clans were like a mountain pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.

"Sect Leader Yun, I know you're here. Please come out and meet me." Lin Fan cupped his hands toward the void.

"Human prodigy, truly extraordinary." At that moment, Sect Leader Yun emerged from the void.

He was becoming more and more interested in this human.

"Sect Leader!"

All the disciples respectfully greeted the newcomer.

Only then did they realize that the sect leader had arrived long ago but had been hiding in the void.

Sect Leader Yun nodded to the disciples, then looked at Lin Fan. "A word in private."

"Alright."

After Lin Fan and Sect Leader Yun left, the disciples looked at each other, then at the senior brother.

They were completely confused.

...

In the main hall, a refusal suddenly rang out.

"That won't do, Sect Leader Yun. I'm used to being alone. In the lower realm, I was the sect leader of the Holy Demon Sect. Coming to the Ancient Saint Realm, I intended to rebuild it. So I must apologize for declining your generous offer."

Lin Fan hadn't expected Sect Leader Yun to ask him to be the next sect leader of the Cloud Sect.

Wasn't that a joke?

Although he admitted he was awesome and handsome, anyone with eyes could see that the Cloud Sect was a mess.

After taking down Liu Hen, there were still several others.

His only thought now was to improve his strength and overthrow the ancient clan supremes; he hadn't considered anything else.

Sect Leader Yun hadn't expected Lin Fan to refuse so decisively and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Sect Leader Yun, you know the Cloud Sect inside out. Under your guidance, the sect can flourish. I'm used to being alone. I just wanted to say goodbye and leave this place." Lin Fan said.

"Won't you reconsider?" Sect Leader Yun was still unwilling and asked again.

"No need. Liu Hen has turned over a new leaf and is now devoted to the myriad races. If you must choose a sect leader, Liu Hen is the best candidate."

After all, now that Liu Hen was under his control, whether the sect leader was himself or Liu Hen, in the end, it would still be his.

Seeing Lin Fan's resolve, Sect Leader Yun sighed. In the end, the temple was too small.

"Sect Leader Yun, I'd like to know the cultivation level of the ancient clan supremes. Is it the tenth level of the Divine Heaven Rank, the Eternal Divine Position Realm?" Lin Fan had never seen an ancient clan supreme and wanted to know their cultivation.

"Not lower than the tenth level." Sect Leader Yun said, a hint of fear showing on his face.

These ancient clan supremes were an insurmountable mountain for the myriad races.

Even if his entire Cloud Sect attacked, in the eyes of the ancient clan supremes, they would be like ants, easily suppressed.

"Not lower than the tenth level?" Lin Fan's expression changed slightly, somewhat unexpected, but it didn't matter. No matter how strong the ancient clan supremes were, he would one day kill them.

"The Ancient Saint Realm is divided into eight regions. This region is controlled by the ancient clan supreme known as Jie." Sect Leader Yun said.

"Ten thousand years ago, was the ancient clan supreme of this region Gengu?" Lin Fan asked.

"Yes. But the five human powerhouses joined forces to lure Gengu out of the Ancient Saint Realm, and they disappeared afterward. It was these five human powerhouses that bought us some breathing room. In the other seven regions, the myriad races are in even more dire straits, suffering unimaginable pain under the control of the ancient clan supremes." Sect Leader Yun said.

Lin Fan sighed. It seemed this region was relatively better.

But then he thought of the two divine senses he had encountered in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Nansheng Saint Emperor and the Female Emperor—he wondered where those two were.

Then Lin Fan talked with Sect Leader Yun for quite some time.

"Lin Fan, is something bothering you?" Sect Leader Yun noticed Lin Fan hesitating to speak and asked.

Lin Fan had realized that the Ancient Saint Realm was too dangerous and wanted more survival strength.

"Well, Sect Leader Yun, I do have a difficult request." Lin Fan said.

"It's fine. As long as I can do it, I will." Sect Leader Yun said. He valued Lin Fan highly, seeing him as the hope of the human race and the myriad races.

Even if it meant sacrificing his own life, he would do it without hesitation.

But beings with such awareness were rare.

"Hit me." Lin Fan said.

"Huh?" Sect Leader Yun was stunned, as if he had misheard. "What? You want me to hit you?"

"Yes." Lin Fan nodded firmly.

His physical strength was now at the fourth level of the Divine Heaven Rank, the Undying Realm. To improve it, besides the 'Heaven and Earth Furnace,' there was also the method of being beaten by a strong opponent.

But if Lin Fan had to choose, he would prefer the latter.

After all, it was the most comfortable.

"I have a special constitution and have also cultivated a body-tempering technique. However, this technique requires external force to temper. If Sect Leader Yun is willing to help, I would be extremely grateful." Lin Fan had used the system to check Sect Leader Yun and knew he was a good person.

"Such a constitution exists?" Sect Leader Yun was astonished; he had never heard of it.

"Alright. Tell me what to do. The stronger you are, the more hope the myriad races have." Then, without further thought, Sect Leader Yun nodded in agreement.

Seeing Sect Leader Yun agree, Lin Fan's body trembled with excitement.

This was going to be a big gain.
