Chapter 1042: Waiting for the Arrival

At this moment, everyone present held their breath, especially Han Yu and her two senior sisters, whose eyes flickered with boundless terror. They felt that something was truly about to happen.

"Are you really going to kill me?" Ning Tiekun roared in fury, his eyes bulging like an ox's, his voice even beginning to grow hoarse.

"What, can't I kill you?" Lin Fan said coldly. For someone like this, he simply didn't take him seriously. Kill one, and it's done. Even if he had status, so what? Kill him without negotiation.

Hearing this, Ning Tiekun's heart tightened. He could already feel the killing intent, and then he roared.

"You can't kill me. My father is the sect master of the Iron Sword Sect. Even if the Iron Sword Sect is inferior to the Heaven and Earth Sect, if you kill me, you will regret it."

Ning Tiekun's heart was completely panicked at this moment. He hoped the other would consider these issues and spare his life, but this time he was likely to be disappointed.

If Lin Fan were the kind of person who hesitated, he wouldn't have raised his cultivation to this level in such a short time.

"Hmph, even if your father came, it would be useless. If the Iron Sword Sect doesn't provoke me, fine; if it does, there's only death waiting." Lin Fan sneered, exerting a slight force with his hand.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out, followed by a low roar, but everything was over.

"Ding! Congratulations on killing a weakling in the Ancient Realm."

"No experience gained."

Lin Fan looked coldly at the corpse in his hand, then flicked his wrist slightly and pointed a finger. Ning Tiekun's body instantly turned to dust, scattering between heaven and earth.

Dead!

Truly dead!

At this moment, everyone was shocked!

Lin Hanyu had not spoken from beginning to end; she had long been frightened by the scene before her.

She hadn't expected her younger brother to be so ferocious, showing no mercy even to Ning Tiekun, the son of a sect master.

Zhou Jun and Wang Yunmo said nothing; they had long known this outcome. When Senior Brother Lin acted, he didn't care about such things and would surely kill the opponent completely.

As for Ning Tiekun's father coming to trouble Senior Brother Lin, his fate probably wouldn't be much better.

"Son, won't this cause trouble?" Lin Haoming's face showed worry.

This was the son of the Iron Sword Sect's master, killed just like that. Wouldn't there be repercussions?

"What trouble could there be? If the Iron Sword Sect doesn't know its place, it will be courting its own destruction." Lin Fan didn't take the Iron Sword Sect seriously at all. If they dared to come, he would make them understand what true terror was.

Moreover, Lin Fan was currently lacking strong opponents to bother him, but the Iron Sword Sect was a small sect; he didn't know if it had any strong cultivators.

The commoners outside were all stunned.

"Young Master Lin is extraordinary; he really killed that man."

"I heard they said this man is the son of the Iron Sword Sect's master, very high status. Do you think there will be trouble?"

"How could there be trouble? Didn't you just see that the so-called sect master's son was respectful to those two, and those two were so scared of Young Master Lin that they knelt and kowtowed for a long time?"

"That's true. I wonder what status Young Master Lin has, that even such powerful people fear him."

"I don't quite understand either. It seems he's one of the candidates for sect master."

"Does that mean Young Master Lin might become the sect master in the future?"

"Incredible, truly incredible. With Young Master Lin, the Lin family has completely risen."

"Yes."

…

The crowd outside buzzed with discussion.

At this moment, Lin Fan turned his gaze to the three fellow disciples beside Lin Hanyu.

When those three fellow disciples met Lin Fan's gaze, their hearts tightened, sweat beading on their foreheads, filled with fear.

Lin Hanyu knew the fear in her senior sisters' hearts, but as their junior sister, she couldn't stand by and do nothing.

"Little brother, they are my senior sisters in the sect, and they have taken good care of me." Lin Hanyu spoke.

She felt she could no longer see through her younger brother. In childhood, he had been taciturn and different from others.

Now she understood that her younger brother was an extraordinary genius, having grown to this level in just a few years.

"Son, these are your sister's fellow disciples." Lin Haoming tugged at Lin Fan and said.

Lin Fan nodded. "Alright, since you've spoken, let this matter rest."

Zhou Jun and Wang Yun stood there trembling. For them, today had been a complete disaster, having been dragged into trouble.

Ning Tiekun thought he was impressive, but he didn't expect to hit a wall, and he dragged them into it. His death was well deserved.

However, they didn't resent Senior Brother Lin; after all, no one would let such a matter slide.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin." Xiao Yuya expressed her gratitude, followed by the other two.

"Brother, you're so amazing now." Lin Lan'er said excitedly.

Lin Fan patted her head. "En, when I have time, I'll take you to the sect and let you join the Heaven and Earth Sect."

Lin Haoming was stunned. "Son, the Heaven and Earth Sect is a major sect. Can people join so casually?"

Lin Fan smiled. "It's nothing."

Zhou Jun and Wang Yun then spoke, "Senior Brother Lin is a candidate for sect master; bringing a few people into the sect is no problem."

Lin Haoming was extremely excited. He never expected the Lin family to produce such a great figure; it was truly a blessing from the ancestors.

The heads of the other seven families also had glints in their eyes.

If it were possible, couldn't they also have their clansmen join the Heaven and Earth Sect?

Of course, they kept this matter to themselves for now, planning to talk to Lin Haoming when the time was right. After all these years, their relationship was quite good; they shouldn't be refused.

At the same time, through this incident, they became even more determined to support the Lin family.

The Lin family was now different from before; it was no longer what it used to be.

As long as Lin Fan stood firm, the Lin family would last for generations. What was Ascending Dragon City? From now on, they might even be able to walk sideways across the Endless Continent.

Of course, this would take time, but they believed that such a day would come.

The crowd dispersed. Lin Fan returned to his room. Now he had to wait for the other side to arrive.

With Ning Tiekun killed by him, the Iron Sword Sect would likely come to investigate. That was fine; he would see what happened.

In another room.

Lin Hanyu was supported by the two who now regarded her as a big shot.

Although she was only an outer disciple in the sect, her younger brother was a candidate for the Heaven and Earth Sect's master—that was no small matter.

Xiao Yuya stood outside, her face still showing shock. She then took out a talisman, burned it, and sent a message.

She had to report what happened here to the sect.

If things continued like this, Junior Sister Lin might leave the sect and join the Heaven and Earth Sect; it wasn't impossible.
