Chapter 400: Suppressing with a Turn of the Hand

At this moment, everyone was greatly shocked. The junior brothers and sisters of the Crimson Rainbow Sect watched as their senior brother knelt before this mysterious person, addressing him as 'teacher,' which left them utterly astonished.

Senior brother, for our sake, there was no need to acknowledge someone as your teacher so quickly.

They had never heard their senior brother mention having a teacher before.

The members of the Mixed Origin Sect were also stunned for a moment. What the hell was going on?

Teacher? Are you kidding me?

But when the Mixed Origin Sect members saw the bewildered expression on the mysterious person's face, they felt a surge of amusement. Clearly, this mysterious person didn't know the other party at all.

Good kid, you almost fooled us. Didn't expect you to cling to a powerful figure just to save your skin.

'Esteemed senior, this matter concerns our Mixed Origin Sect. Please grant us some face and refrain from interfering,' said the leading disciple of the Mixed Origin Sect as he stepped forward.

Although the other party appeared young, his strength was undoubtedly greater than theirs—there was no question about that.

Thus, he dared not be too presumptuous. If he were killed by this mysterious person for speaking rudely, even the sect master would not antagonize a Great Heaven Realm powerhouse for the sake of a mere disciple.

But what annoyed him was that this mysterious person didn't even glance at him, as if he hadn't heard what he just said.

Lin Fan looked at the man kneeling before him, feeling somewhat troubled inside.

'Teacher?'

'So this guy is my disciple? But have I ever had such a disciple?'

Lin Fan truly couldn't recall at the moment.

'Lift your head,' Lin Fan said. He felt he needed to get a clearer look; maybe with another glance, he could remember.

Especially since the other party seemed so sincere—how heartbreaking would it be if he said he didn't recognize him?

The young man knelt respectfully, his forehead touching the ground. Hearing this, he raised his head.

When Lin Fan saw the young man's expression, his heart skipped a beat. He was crying... the other party was actually crying...

This young man was crying, and there was no pretense about it.

This person must know me; perhaps I really am his teacher.

Thinking of the title 'teacher,' Lin Fan suddenly recalled his time in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Those students he had taught—yes, this guy must be one of the students he taught back then.

Lin Fan's expression remained calm as he looked at the person before him. But his mind was frantically searching, trying to recall this person's name.

In an instant, a face suddenly overlapped with the one before him.

At that moment, Lin Fan revealed a smile, looking very pleased.

'Cao Tianjiao?'

Hearing his teacher call his name, the young man suddenly recalled a scene from two years ago, and then shouted excitedly, 'Yes, teacher.'

At this moment, the members of the Crimson Rainbow Sect suddenly became excited. They really did know each other. This mysterious person was indeed their senior brother's teacher.

They wouldn't have to die—this was fantastic.

'Senior brother, isn't your name Cao Fushu?' asked a disciple who was not very sharp and rather pedantic, puzzled.

'No, I am Cao Tianjiao. Whatever the teacher says is correct,' Cao Fushu said with a serious expression.

Lin Fan looked at Cao Tianjiao and nodded with satisfaction. 'The child is teachable. It's not in vain that I guided you back then.'

At this, the Mixed Origin Sect members exchanged glances, suddenly sensing a bad premonition. They hadn't expected that this mysterious person was indeed his teacher.

This time, things might not be so easy to resolve.

At this moment, the Mixed Origin Sect members thought of retreating. But just as they were about to flee, a voice drifted over faintly, causing their hearts to tremble violently.

"Did I say you could leave?" Lin Fan looked at the people of the Hunyuan Sect.

One of the nine great sects, the Hunyuan Sect—what a coincidence.

"Sir, we are disciples of the Hunyuan Sect. Although you are a powerhouse of the Great Heaven realm, our Hunyuan Sect does not lack such experts either. You should think carefully," the leading disciple of the Hunyuan Sect said bluntly.

Cao Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief. Now that their teacher was here, their safety was guaranteed.

But judging by the situation, their teacher was probably going to stand up for them.

Though they longed for revenge, the reputation of the Hunyuan Sect weighed heavily on their hearts.

If their teacher really killed these people, the Hunyuan Sect would not let it go easily.

Cao Tianjiao's junior brothers and sisters also hung their heads, unsure of what to do.

Their senior brother's teacher was undoubtedly a peerless expert, but the Hunyuan Sect was no pushover either. If they got entangled, things would really turn bad.

But just then, when they heard what their senior brother's teacher said, they all stared at Lin Fan in shock.

"The Hunyuan Sect, huh... Then they deserve to die even more." Lin Fan's face turned cold, and he flipped his palm.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the void exploded with a loud bang. A palm descended from the sky, crushing down directly under the terrified gazes of the Hunyuan Sect disciples.

"Bang..."

In the blink of an eye, those dozen or so Hunyuan Sect disciples were annihilated, not even a hair left.

Cao Tianjiao and the others stared in astonishment at the scene before them. Especially Cao Tianjiao's junior brothers and sisters—they never expected their senior brother's teacher to be so powerful and so domineering.

With a mere flip of his hand, he had suppressed them all.

Such terror...

"Damn it, acting arrogant in front of me is just asking for death. Coming back this time is to wipe you out," Lin Fan sneered inwardly.

"Heavenly Pepper."

"Teacher, Heavenly Pepper is here." Cao Tianjiao stood respectfully to one side.

Although the teacher had not taught them for long, he had been of immense help to them.

Once they had been the worst of the worst, but under the teacher's guidance, each of them had made rapid progress, never encountering any bottlenecks in their cultivation.

Thus, in these two short years, he had broken through from the First Level of Xiantian to the Ninth Level of Rushen, and he believed it would not be long before he entered the Xiaotian realm.

"What happened to you? And the others?" Lin Fan had only just returned, so naturally he did not know what had transpired in the past two years.

He also saw Cao Tianjiao's cultivation level: the Ninth Level of Rushen, equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Rushen realm in Donglingzhou.

Although Canglingzhou and Donglingzhou were separated only by a barrier, and their cultivation systems were not much different, there were slight variations.

After recalling for a moment, Cao Tianjiao then recounted in detail what had happened over the past two years.

Lin Fan listened quietly, his expression unchanged, but inside he was in turmoil.

The students he had once taught at the Tianfu Academy had all left the Great Yan Dynasty.

Even the Tianfu Academy no longer existed.

Overnight, all the experts of the Great Yan Dynasty had vanished, including the dean of the Tianfu Academy.

Thus, the Tianfu Academy was completely disbanded.

As for the students he had once taught, they had likely escaped this calamity because their cultivation was too low.

Without needing to think, Lin Fan could guess who was responsible.

Who else could it be but the Yan Emperor?

He wondered what kind of evil technique that Yan Emperor fellow was practicing.

But none of that mattered anymore, because now that he was back, all those bastards' lives would be reaped by yours truly.
