Chapter 372: These Scenes Let Me Comprehend Something
The next day!
Lin Fan’s entourage grew bigger.
Cha Fu was roped in by Lin Fan and from now on he would be on his side. Although this age combination was a little off, it was okay. It was actually a good thing to have an old man following beside him.
If he bumped into others.
They would definitely think that Cha Fu was the main force and wouldn’t worry about him at all.
There were many benefits of having someone who attracted the firepower.
“Master, I feel like we have fallen into some sort of quicksand. Is it just me who thinks that way?” Xu Furong muttered softly as he didn’t dare to let Lin Fan hear it.
They were of similar ages and Lin Fan was even younger than him, but he actually had to call him senior.
Just thinking about it made him helpless.
Cha Fu touched Xu Furong’s head softly, which made him feel slightly uncomfortable. He was so old and wasn’t a kid anymore. Shortly after, he felt his head hurt as master smacked it hard.
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Xu Furong felt really wronged. He saw junior brother gloating and laughing which infuriated him. He charged over and beat him up.
Laugh more… Continue to laugh.
“Young Master Lin, we are already in the territory of Ocean Tide Temple. This Ocean Tide Temple is just a mid-tier sect, but since no top tier sect has split the land around, they took it under them. They occupied three cities.” Cha Fu said.
Last time he had passed by this place and came into a conflict with people from Ocean Tide Temple. It was just a mid-tier sect, and naturally, they didn’t pose much of a threat.
After defeating a few waves, he didn’t expect Ocean Tide Temple to actually send an expert.
Naturally, the process consisted of both sides clashing and exchanging blows. Cha Fu wasn’t weak, causing the Ocean Tide Temple to yield and tell him that if he stopped now and left, then things would just come to a close.
Lin Fan smiled. “I didn’t expect for such a small mid-tier sect to dare to occupy land and rule. They really have balls.”
As expected, things were in a mess.
They all seized the chance and started to occupy cities which had no masters.
Now that the Imperial Dynasty was gone everyone had become so arrogant?
Ocean Tide Temple could tell everyone that. Yes, they could behave so arrogantly.
“Those damn things.” Zhu Shen was furious. He fought to the death with the Alliance and so many other people had died. These people just collecting the spoils without doing anything.
However, the Alliance definitely wouldn’t let them off. Once the Alliance laid out their plan and calmed everything down, they would definitely take care of them.
“Calm down and don’t be so emotional.” Lin Fan calmed down Zhu Shen’s emotions. Thinking about it, it did make sense. Zhu Shen contributed so much and he even turned into a pig after his fight. As for those people, not only did they not contribute, but they even wanted to gain from all of this. Were they still humans?
If such a matter happened to him, he wouldn’t be able to accept it either.
“Hais.” Zhu Shen sighed and was filled with helplessness.
Very quickly, a city appeared in the distance.
Ming City.
They had never heard of such a city existing. But since the Imperial Dynasty covered a huge area and there were many cities under it, even after the Imperial Dynasty was wiped out and numerous top sects occupied land, there were many cities that were taken over by mid-tier sects.
But as long as they were noticed, those mid-tier sects were done for.
Without strength, how could one occupy land?
If both sides were top sects, maybe they would fear one another and come to a consensus. But if one of them was mid-tier, they would be crushed and bullied with no room for negotiation at all.
Although there weren’t any guards there were Ocean Tide Temple disciples guarding the city entrance. When the commoners looked at the disciples they felt a little terrified.
However, they acted like nothing was wrong. The only thing was that they walked really quickly when they passed.
Lin Fan and the group entered the city and weren’t stopped at all.
“Not much has changed; it is still like the past. As long as things are peaceful, the commoners are able to withstand many things.” Lin Fan said.
Zhu Shen said softly, “Who knows what life is like for the people in those cities that the Alliance has occupied? They probably aren’t being treated very well.”
Cha Fu was really careful. After all, he had clashed with Ocean Tide Temple before. Although it wasn’t a big issue, he had fought with them before. If people recognized him, then it would be a little problematic.
Suddenly, noise spread out in the distance.
“You all can’t do this, that is too much.”
“There is no law anymore.”
Lin Fan was really curious and he walked towards the sound. Many people were around and one could hear many people whispering among themselves.
“I heard that Imperial Dynasty has been wiped out, so in the future, we will be under Ocean Tide Temple.”
“The Imperial Dynasty officials in charge were all killed by Ocean Tide Temple. The world is about to be in chaos.”
“Hais, our peaceful lives are gone just like that. Who knows when things will settle down…”
“What is the difference between them and bandits? They are just thieves.”
“Shush, quieten down. If people hear us you will definitely suffer.”
Lin Fan acted as a passer-by and just observed the situation.
The dozen Ocean Tide Temple snatched riches from the rich family and moved it away. The people were furious but didn’t say anything and if they dared to fight back, then their heads would be chopped off.
“I thought that I was vicious enough, but who knew that there were people more vicious than me?” Lin Fan sighed when he saw these scenes.
He only dared to use Bug Controlling Technique to steal and never thought about stealing openly.
This was just too overbearing.
It was also really terrifying.
“Zhu Shen, this suddenly reminds me of something.” Lin Fan said.
Zhu Shen’s furious expression turned to one of shock as if he didn’t understand what Young Master Lin meant.
“Young Master Lin, what did you think about?”
Lin Fan said calmly, “Let’s head to Ocean Tide Temple.”
He needed rage points now.
As for riches, he didn’t care about them. Of course, he was also interested in techniques and if he could collect some regarding Dao Realm, then that would be fantastic too.
Zhen Xiaobao pulled his master’s sleeves and said softly, “Master, these people are actually doing such things in broad daylight; they are too brazen.”
“This is how the world works.” Cha Fu said.
Shortly after, he noticed where Lin Fan was walking and he chased after him. “Young Master Lin, what are you planning?”
Zhen Xiaobao was in deep thought.
Way of the world?
What was that?
Lin Fan said, “I am hungry, so let’s head to a restaurant to eat first.”
“What will we do after?” Cha Fu asked.
“We will head over to Ocean Tide Temple to do some things.” Lin Fan smiled.
To Cha Fu, he felt like something was off.
Do some things?
It felt mysterious and mystical but also made him panic. It was as if something was about to happen.
Ming City’s restaurant was not bad.
In it, there were many diners discussing. They were mostly talking about the recent changes.
News of the Imperial Dynasty being destroyed wasn’t a secret.
The same for the Alliance’s appearance.
But for the normal people, these were just meal topics and they didn’t know whether it would affect them or not.
Lin Fan ate and thought about where his father would be. Anyway, the place he went wouldn’t be an ordinary place.
For now, he didn’t need to think about so much.
Father was a top tier expert and nothing would happen to him.
Lin Fan had a rough idea.
He would quickly raise his strength in this chaotic time. When he improved to a certain level, then anything could be solved.
There was no need for traps and plans.
He would fight anyone that he wasn’t happy with and he would tell them to scram after he did. If they didn’t, then he would kill them. He was looking forward to seeing whether his fist or their heads were tougher.
“Did you all come from elsewhere?”
Just as Lin Fan was thinking about this, the manager carried dishes over. As Imperial Dynasty was wiped out, the commoners got more and more interested in finding out more.
They headed to the restaurant to eat and talk and thus the servers were too busy. Even the manager himself had to serve dishes too.
“Eh, we came from someplace else and passed by Ming City.” Lin Fan replied. Ming City was quite prosperous and similar to Jiang City. However, it couldn’t be compared to those really big cities.
The manager courteously placed the dishes and when he saw no one paying attention, he said softly, “After eating it is best if you leave right away. Recently, Ming City hasn’t been peaceful.”
The manager looked around to confirm that there was no one again.
“Imperial Dynasty has been wiped out and Ocean Tide Temple took over Ming City. Although they are just doing as they please now and they’re not going overboard, if the disciples notice you, then there will be trouble.”
“Manager, send me your wine and dishes.” A few Ocean Tide Temple disciples walked in arrogantly. When the customers around saw them, there were all so frightened that they kept silent. There were even a few who were planning to leave.
The manager wanted to cry but he had no choice and could only welcome them.
Lin Fan felt that this sect was just so dumb.
“Eat faster, we have something to do later.” Lin Fan rushed them.
Xu Furong and Zhen Xiaobao wolfed down. There was nothing they had to do as Master was here and if things happened they weren’t of any help.
Not long later, Lin Fan placed the silver on the table and left. When he passed those few disciples he smiled, “Let me help you all divine your futures.”
Those Ocean Tide Temple looked at Lin Fan in disdain.
They were basic disciples in the sect and had no status but it was different in Ming City. They were the bosses and could do as they wished.
Before they said anything, Lin Fan smiled, “Something huge is about to happen. I think you all should go back and take a look.”
The moment he said this, Lin Fan brought his men and left.
The few Ocean Tide Temple disciples were stunned and when they came back to their senses and chased after him, they realized that he was gone.
“Where did that crazy person come from? If I find you, I will kill you.”
“Bad luck.”
Then, they continued to eat and drink whatever they wanted. Anyway, they didn’t have to pay.
In the wilderness.
“Young Master Lin, why are we heading to Ocean Tide Temple?” Cha Fu didn’t expect that Young Master Lin would really want to head to Ocean Tide Temple.
Lin Fan said, “To solve some things and also to take some items.”
