Chapter 985 - 935: A Bunch of Ignorant Fools!

Human nature is often the same.

When faced with the unknown, under the pressure of shock, one can never escape anxiety and unease.

Once the veil of the unknown is lifted, if found to be unrelated to oneself, a sense of relief always arises.

This is human nature, something unavoidable!

Thus, when Cao Qianqiu fell to his knees, the deep-seated anxiety in his heart dissipated.

"Quite interesting, there turns out to be such a story! Haha - rise up!"

Qin Fan said leisurely and faintly.

Sensing Cao Qianqiu’s fluctuating aura, he knew that this fellow likely didn’t lie.

Originally, he planned that if this Tomb Raider Sect was connected to the Bai Clan, much like the relationship between the Training Spirit Sect and the Training Spirit Clan, then he wouldn’t hesitate to erase another sect.

Even if now the other party was intimidated beyond measure, what does it prove?

Does it prove that the other party will never target him, or even his friends and relatives?

Impossible!

Better to mistakenly kill three thousand than to mistakenly let one go. In the face of the big picture, this is the standard of Qin Fan’s approach.

The possibility of someone watching in the dark, waiting to stab him, he must absolutely smother in the cradle.

To him, this is not about the extinction of human nature, but rather letting the tiger return to the mountain is the most foolish and suicidal act. Even though he already has enough power to regard all living beings as ants, he has never changed this principle!

"Thank you, Immortal!" Cao Qianqiu dared not be pretentious any longer. He quickly crawled back to the stone stool and sat down.

At this moment, his demeanor was completely different from before.

"Immortal, may I ask why you have summoned me?" As Cao Qianqiu relieved his pressure, the Penglai Sect Master, with his old face flushed from the wine, also impatiently asked.

"Nothing special! I’ve long heard the name of hidden sects, just wanted to see and understand!" Qin Fan laughed.

"Whew-!"

He took a deep breath.

The tense expression on the Penglai elder’s face finally relaxed.

But before he could respond.

Qin Fan’s voice rose again, "Your entry into this world this time is for the Heavenly Mechanism Path?"

Hmm?

Under Qin Fan’s words.

The eyes of the Penglai elder and Cao Qianqiu suddenly widened.

The attitude that had just relaxed became tense again.

Could this be another reason the Immortal summoned them?

Not only them, but even the Kunlun Master Zhang Qiyuan’s expression also froze.

Including Zhang Qiyuan, they all showed signs of panic.

Indeed, they entered the world for the Heavenly Mechanism Path.

But in front of this unparalleled entity against the Heavenly Dao, dare they speak recklessly about the Heavenly Mechanism Path?

If Qin Fan does not grant it, would they dare to fight or snatch it?

The answer is absolute.

With a flick of his hand, no living thing left in the Training Spirit Sect, this bloody precedent still stood.

"Remaining silent, does silence mean acquiescence?"

In the long silence from the three, Qin Fan smirked playfully.

"Cough, cough-!"

Cao Qianqiu coughed twice.

No longer able to pretend to be an ostrich.

He spoke, "To the Immortal, initially yes, but now - we have gained self-awareness! With the Immortal here, who would dare to harbor grand illusions about the Heavenly Mechanism Path?"

"A bunch of ignorant fools!"

At this point, the Six Paths spoke.

Hearing these extremely insulting words.

The three hidden sect masters, even Zhang Qiyuan who had deep ties with Six Paths, couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and awkward.

"Benefactor, what do you mean by this?"

Despite the embarrassment, Zhang Qiyuan still dared to timidly ask.

"Even if the heavens were blind, the Heavenly Mechanism Path would never fall into this world! Moreover, taking a step further, do you think the opportunity of the Heavenly Mechanism Path could be obtained so easily? I understand your naive foolishness, but I advise you not to continue this ignorance! I dare not speak definitively about whether there is a possibility of Ascension Immortal in this realm, but for you, if you must cling to such a fantasy, delving into your own understanding of the Dao is your only choice! Stop dreaming of the advent of the Heavenly Mechanism Path; it’s absolutely impossible! Furthermore, given your current strength, I could reduce you to dust with a snap of my fingers, yet you dare dream of Ascension? Utter absurdity!"

As Six Paths finished speaking, the faces of the three immediately fell.

Though Six Paths’ words were somewhat harsh, it must be said there was truth in them.

Indeed, even in their eyes, they were mere ants to the other side; talking of Ascension Immortal, talking of the Heavenly Mechanism Path, isn’t it laughable?

If it was a few hours earlier, they certainly would not have been this disappointed and dispirited.

But after witnessing the might of Six Paths and Qin Fan, they must accept the fact that they’ve always lived in a world of fantasy.

Despite Cao Qianqiu and the Penglai elder calling him Immortal, they weren’t foolish; it was merely a respectful term in panic and fright, how could he truly be an Immortal?

Would a real Immortal have the idle time to bother with the trivial matters of the mundane world? Ridiculous!

Just witnessing Qin Fan rise skyward, using an unknown Fire Stick to withstand the Ninth Layer of Heavenly Thunder, they knew even if he is not an Immortal, he is not far from it.

Whether it was Six Paths instantly controlling the sword to slay all beasts, or Qin Fan ascending and bearing the thunder, these had reshaped their world view, as if placing them in front of a completely new plane of existence!

Comparatively, they subconsciously pondered, if they were in their place, what outcome would it be?

The slaying of beasts aside, just the Heavenly Thunder barrier, they would be reduced to dust at the First Layer!

Silence, it spread like this.

This time entering the world, though short-lived, had caused their psyche to undergo an extreme shock.

A shock sufficient to impact the path of cultivation!

Since when did they believe for hundreds of years they were among the strongest in the world.

Little did they know, upon entering the world, they discovered the so-called strongest was no more than an ant crushed under another’s heel.

"Benefactor, you are right, I’ve been too naive!" After witnessing the might of Six Paths and Qin Fan, Kunlun’s Zhang Qiyuan sighed self-deprecatingly.

"Though it’s not to say that, at the very least, it’s by clinging to these fantasies you survive in this world!" Six Paths shook his head and said.

Somehow.

After opening the kill, his temperament seemed to have changed somewhat.

Had it been before, his easy-going nature indifferent to worldly affairs wouldn’t have bothered with these.

But now, he couldn’t help but speak out.

Perhaps this is a breakthrough in the realm returning to its origins.

"Yes, maybe we should all find contentment! Alright, Benefactor, Immortal, I think we should return to the Kunlun Secret Realm! Although it seems unrealistic, after hundreds of years, I think we need to continue on, who knows if there might be an unexpected delight? Moreover, after hundreds of years without entering the world, it’s challenging to adapt to this mundane life!" He sighed secretly in disappointment, Zhang Qiyuan said.

"Kunlun Master speaks truth! To the two Immortals, since the naive ignorant thoughts are severed, we should return, for this mundane world is ultimately not suitable for us to reside!"

Following Zhang Qiyuan’s words, both the Penglai elder and Cao Qianqiu spoke in unison.

"Return, you cannot return!"

In the expression of farewell from the three sect masters.

Qin Fan’s voice suddenly rang out again.
