Chapter 726

Fan Yecheng's vision went black.

But he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

No matter what, he was an elder of Wu Feng.

Even if his status wasn't very important in the Immortal Cloud Sect, he had still contributed.

Although he kicked a steel plate this time, it shouldn't cost him his life, right?

The worst result Fan Yecheng anticipated now was having his arm cut off as an apology to Ye Lin, and then being stripped of his elder status and demoted to a deacon.

At the very worst, being expelled from the Immortal Cloud Sect would be fine, right?

If he had provoked someone else, perhaps that would be the worst result, but unfortunately, he provoked Ye Lin.

Hearing Ye Lin's words just now, the nine Peak Masters' already ugly expressions were now as black as the bottom of a pot.

Killing intent already appeared in their eyes as they looked at Fan Yecheng, wishing they could kill him on the spot.

But as Fan Yecheng thought, he was an elder after all.

Although the nine Peak Masters were angry at the stupid things he did, they wouldn't really kill an elder over this little thing.

After all, the Immortal Cloud Sect was a famous sect, but Fan Yecheng definitely wouldn't be able to mix in the Immortal Cloud Sect anymore.

"Ye Lin, the mistake this time is not yours, you don't need to blame yourself. We will definitely give you a reasonable explanation for Elder Fan's problem. You follow me back to Pill Peak first, and reattach your arm..."

Before Dan Yangzi could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Ye Lin.

"No!"

Ye Lin shook his head.

"The mistake is mine. Elder Fan is not speaking now only because you are here, so he is swallowing his broken teeth!"

In Fan Yecheng's terrified gaze, Ye Lin did something that made Fan Yecheng completely despair.

Thud!

Ye Lin knelt before Fan Yecheng, his eyes filled with tears.

"Elder Fan, I have realized my mistake, please forgive me! In the future, if others want to hit me, I will never dare to resist again."

"If you don't forgive me, I will kneel here forever!"

And this scene also shocked the nine Peak Masters!

Cultivating immortality is an act against heaven, which is why cultivators have heavenly tribulations when breaking through realms.

A cultivator's life is a struggle against heaven, earth, and all things in the world, so they do not kneel to heaven, earth, or anything else!

Even though they taught Ye Lin various divine powers and techniques, having long since established a master-disciple relationship, they had never let Ye Lin perform the kneeling ceremony.

Once a cultivator kneels, if not handled well, it is easy to cause cracks in the Dao heart, and even give birth to heart demons!

Physical wounds are easy to heal, but heart wounds are hard to heal.

Dan Yangzi could heal the wound of the severed arm, but if cracks appeared in the Dao heart, or even heart demons were born, even Pill Peak Master Dan Yangzi would be powerless.

This kneeling, which seemed like Ye Lin bowing his head, was actually cutting off all of Fan Yecheng's paths to survival.

"This Fan Yecheng has caused too much psychological trauma to Ye Lin."

"How many years has it been? It was hard to find a seedling with a Forbidden Spiritual Root, and if it's ruined by this Fan Yecheng, I'll be the first to disagree!"

"In my opinion, just tie this Fan Yecheng up and hand him over to Ye Lin to deal with. You wouldn't want the Forbidden Spiritual Root you cultivated yourself to betray the sect one day, right?"

"You know, I'm a conservative, and I think Situ's idea is a bit too conservative!"

Several Peak Masters discussed it briefly and soon decided how to deal with Fan Yecheng.

Jun Chuanxiong raised two fingers and pointed at Fan Yecheng several times in the air; sharp sword energy instantly bloomed blood flowers on Fan Yecheng's body.

At first, Fan Yecheng could still scream, but as his throat was sealed by a sword, he soon couldn't make a sound.

Fan Yecheng lay on the ground like a dead dog, covered in blood.

As a cultivator at the fifth phase of the Seven Phases of Spirit, the Wheel-Turning Realm, he had no ability to resist in front of Jun Chuanxiong.

"Ye Lin, all the meridians in his body have been cut by me, and he cannot exert even half of his strength. I leave him to you to deal with!"

Jun Chuanxiong stepped forward and very seriously helped Ye Lin up.

"Your parents are no longer here. You possess a Forbidden Spiritual Root and may even have a chance to step onto that supreme Emperor's Path in the future."

"Remember, in this world, no one is worth you kneeling to—not to mention an elder, even a Peak Master, or even the Sect Master!"

Jun Chuanxiong had a violent temper; whether teaching Ye Lin or getting along with him, he would beat Ye Lin up if they didn't agree.

This was the first time Ye Lin had seen him so serious, which made Ye Lin feel a bit embarrassed.

But there was no help for it; who told him he couldn't beat Fan Yecheng, the elder?

As for whether kneeling could really cause heart demons, Ye Lin should probably kneel and walk in the future, making it convenient for the Heart Demon Ten Thousand Soul Banner to replenish new members.

"Old Man Jun, I remember, I won't do it again!"

Ye Lin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, his gaze becoming firm.

"We have taught you all the skills we can; you need to walk the path ahead yourself."

"You must remember, a truly powerful cultivator relies not on so-called divine powers, but on an invincible Dao heart! A heart that will not fall even if it is defeated a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times!"

Jun Chuanxiong spoke earnestly.

As the Wu Feng Master, he had seen too many peerless geniuses who flashed like a shooting star and then fell rapidly.

Talent is not the key to how far a cultivator can go.

The heart is.

Without an invincible Dao heart, even with the top talent, one might be devastated by a single failure.

"Okay, Ye Lin will keep the teaching in mind!"

Ye Lin nodded very obediently.

"Go heal your arm first." Jun Chuanxiong patted Ye Lin's shoulder.

Ye Lin didn't mess around this time; he first asked Sang Yankai to throw Fan Yecheng back to his cave dwelling, then obediently followed Dan Yangzi back to Pill Peak to treat his arm.

As a powerhouse in alchemy, reattaching a severed arm was naturally a piece of cake for Dan Yangzi.

After treating his arm, Ye Lin incidentally got a lot of strange and weird poisons from Dan Yangzi.

After returning to the cave dwelling, Ye Lin disliked that the newly reattached arm was a bit difficult to use, so he tore it off and burned it to ashes, then grew a new arm.

This made Fan Yecheng, who was already ashen-faced, widen his eyes instantly.

His throat was injured by sword energy, and he couldn't speak at all, but his blood-red eyes expressed everything he wanted to say.

If he still couldn't see that Ye Lin was deliberately setting him up, he would have been an elder for nothing for so long.

Ye Lin rubbed his hands expectantly and looked at Fan Yecheng.

"Elder Fan, don't be angry. I was forced to do this. If I don't kill you, what if you take revenge on me in the future? Don't you think so?"

"A certain God King said it very well: I forgot the beginning, I forgot the middle, I forgot the end, anyway, you already have a way to die!"
