Chapter 136: The Pitiful Secondary Body
Zhen Ming was furious in his heart, clearly unwilling to accept this excuse.
In his view, this was by no means an accident; it was a naked murder.
Let me ask you, who would step down with the intent to kill and manage to pierce through an island arrayed with a grand formation?
Furthermore, Zhen Zhen was his close blood brother; even if he had thoughts about the Saintess, his crime did not warrant death.
Could it be… that anyone who likes the Saintess deserves to die?
It was completely normal for a youth to harbor affection and pursue a woman he liked.
"Saintess, by your logic, if I spar with a fellow Disciple and accidentally kill them, I can only blame their inferior strength, right?" Zhen Ming said coldly.
"Senior Brother Zhen Ming, what do you mean by that?" Yue Chan's willow eyebrows stood on end, highly displeased with his tone.
At this time, Lin Fan could no longer watch; who was this person taking sarcastic jabs at?
Thus, he said in a Yin and Yang manner: "Sigh, why is the Lower Realm Heaven Mending Sect in such a foul mess where just anyone dares to question the Saintess? It seems necessary to send someone down to set things straight."
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled. These lukewarm words actually caused an inexplicable fear to linger in their hearts.
Especially the Lower Realm Heaven Mending Sect Leader, who trembled even more and hurriedly reprimanded: "Zhen Ming, shut your mouth! Is the Saintess someone you can question!"
"Your younger brother harassed the Saintess, so his death is well-deserved. If I had been present at the time, I would have disposed of Zhen Zhen right on the spot!"
The old man who had ignited the divine fire spoke in a very cold voice. His eyes bloomed with rosy light like two red lightning bolts, looking at Zhen Ming with a terrifying Aura.
The other Elders in the sect were the same, their eyes carrying a fierce glare as they stared at the red-haired youth standing there.
In an instant, Zhen Ming trembled all over, cold sweat pouring down as he realized he had committed a major taboo.
What was a protector from the Lower Realm? In the eyes of the people from the Upper Realm, he was nothing at all, let alone his biological brother Zhen Zhen—dying meant nothing.
Finally, he used all his strength to spit out a few words: "Disciple… knows my mistake, and should not have been disrespectful to the Saintess and Young Master!"
"Starting from today, you are no longer a protector of the sect. Go to the Profound Ice Cave to reflect for three years as a punishment!" the old Sect Leader instructed, retracting his pressure.
"Yes!" Zhen Ming lowered his head and left without arguing further.
As for what he was thinking in his heart, that was unknown.
"Young Master, what do you think of this punishment? If it is not enough…" the old Sect Leader said softly, appearing to consult his opinion.
Lin Fan sneered inwardly. This old fox clearly wanted to protect his Disciple, and for the time being, it wouldn't be good for him to sour relations in the Lower Realm.
Zhen Ming was nothing more than a minor matter to begin with; he didn't care much about him. If he dared to come seeking revenge in the future, he could be eliminated at any time.
Lin Fan nodded slightly and said: "Let it be at that."
"Then about the Upper Realm sending people…" As the old man carefully inquired, everyone else also looked over, extremely nervous.
Because this was not a simple matter; once experts descended from the Upper Realm, they would surely purge many people, leaving them panic-stricken.
At the same time, not everyone in the Heaven Mending Sect of the Zhou Region were people from the Lower Realm; a small portion belonged to descendants of the Upper Realm.
Because their ancestors had made mistakes, they were exiled here, but they always wanted to return to the Three Thousand Provinces, so they dared not offend Lin Fan.
The rest were the same; every single one of them wanted to ascend the heavenly path and go to a broader Holy Land for Cultivation with rich heaven and earth Qi.
However, for ordinary people, how difficult was it to go to the Upper Realm?
The people of the Eight Regions were called descendants of sinful blood. Without great achievements or top-tier talent valued by the people above, they couldn't ascend at all.
Furthermore, when they arrived at the Upper Realm, they would also have to undergo identity checks and face suppression everywhere.
"In the future, don't let me see this kind of thing happen again. The proper rules must still be maintained!" Lin Fan said coldly.
"Young Master, please rest assured. We guarantee this will not happen again."
The old Sect Leader and all the Elders agreed one after another, stating they would go back and educate their Disciples with a stern lecture meeting.
Lin Fan ignored them and instead cast a pitiful glance at Yuechans secondary body.
If it were her primary body from the Upper Realm, anyone in the sect who dared to treat her like that would have had their ashes scattered long ago.
Even if someone in the sect admired her, they would only dare to hide it in their hearts, and harassment was completely out of the question—her Heavenly God uncle was no joke.
Not far away, Yuechans secondary body felt bewildered; Lin Fan's gaze was too strange.
However, she was still quite happy in her heart. This guy had finally done a good thing for her, establishing majesty in the sect so that no one would dare to come bother her again in the future.
Soon, this place returned to peace. Only Lin Fan and Yue Chan were left on the island, and the hole that had been stepped out was repaired, restoring it to its original appearance.
"Here, this is the remaining animal skin you wanted to find, but I only collected one piece. The remaining part is said to be in the hands of the Ninth Princess of Stone Country, the little spicy one from last time."
A piece of animal skin appeared in Yue Chan's slender hand. It was archaic and vicissitudinous, about a third of the whole piece.
At this time, Lin Fan also took out his own small piece of animal skin, and a severed part happened to fit together with it seamlessly.
"Wife, you really are something else. You were even able to find the remaining part. I really love you to death." Lin Fan said excitedly.
He had only mentioned it in passing and didn't hold out much hope. The Lower Realm Eight Regions were not small, and finding a piece of animal skin of unknown age was undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, to his absolute astonishment, Yuechans secondary body gave him a huge surprise—she actually found it.
Moreover, after obtaining this piece of animal skin, Lin Fan could be very certain that it contained clues to a peerless Dao seed, possibly reaching the Heavenly Seed level.
"Stop talking nonsense." Yue Chan rebuked. Hearing the other party's address once more made her delicate eyebrows twitch with a slight headache.
"You must have spent a lot of effort, right? How do you want me to thank you? You can say it, as long as I can do it." Lin Fan said awkwardly.
"No need. When you find the Treasure Trove, just give me a share." Yue Chan smiled cunningly.
This was a very intelligent woman. From Lin Fan's expression, she could deduce that a great secret was hidden behind the animal skin, containing something extraordinary.
Rather than other things, she might as well take a gamble; perhaps she could harvest even more.
"Wife, your appetite is a bit big!" Lin Fan naturally saw through her thoughts.
"Rest assured, I don't want the lion's share or the truly Supreme treasure." Yue Chan's lips curved slightly upward, knowing how to read expressions and understanding when to advance or retreat.
"Very well, don't regret it later. By then, there might be nothing at all. You might as well ask me for some benefits now and get even more good things!"
Lin Fan wore a serious expression and introduced the treasures in his hand that could be exchanged, lest she unknowingly miss out on something.
Such as the Vajra Pill, divine medicine liquid, Divine Rank Magical Artifact, Supreme secret arts, etc. As long as she wanted to now, she could choose one of them.
Hearing this, Yue Chan's gaze froze in a daze. This guy had far too many good things on him, making people incomparably envious—he was even richer than the sect.
At this moment, she was somewhat tempted. Compared to the unknown, why not obtain some treasures right now?
In the end, Yuechans secondary body shook her head, still choosing her initial idea, firmly believing that a secret valued by Lin Fan would never result in returning empty-handed.
