Chapter 373: Chapter 372: Daring Not to Strike

Lin Fan sighed and then shook his head, saying, "I also want to make long-term plans, but... Sister Rou can’t wait that long!"

"Eh!"

Hearing this remark from Lin Fan, both Monkey and Skinny stopped trying to persuade him.

"Alright, take good care of Sister Rou!"

Lin Fan spoke again.

At the same time, after finishing his words, Lin Fan took a step forward.

Skinny then stood out and said, "Master, please wait a moment!"

Lin Fan stopped and asked, "What is it?"

Skinny replied, "Master, I think it’s better for me to accompany you!"

Lin Fan’s brows furrowed slightly as he said, "You stay here to look after Sister Rou!"

Again, Skinny said, "Master, just Monkey alone is enough to take care of Sister Rou here. Moreover, you are still unfamiliar with the situation in this first-level area; I can guide you and serve as your guide!"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Alright, then follow me!"

Indeed, Lin Fan was unfamiliar with the situation here; he really did need a guide.

...

Giant Hand Sect headquarters!

Here, there were luxurious halls!

And among these halls, the main hall was the grandest of them all.

Atop the dais of the main hall sat a man over ten feet tall, sitting there quietly.

However, although the man sat quietly, his presence exuded an aura of formidable and inherent power.

Especially his pair of giant hands, which gave off a terrifying breath.

This man was the Gate Master of the Giant Hand Sect - the Giant Hand!

As for his real name, it had become known to very few; everyone simply addressed him as the Giant Hand.

Below him, there were dozens of people!

However, all these people were bowing their heads, their trembling demeanor showing that they were extremely afraid.

"Hmph!"

Suddenly, the Giant Hand let out a cold hum.

While the sound of the Giant Hand’s cold hum was not loud, upon hearing it, everyone instinctively shuddered, fear intensifying, and a tense atmosphere immediately spread around.

"You all are really so capable!"

The Giant Hand coldly said again, "I merely went into seclusion for less than a month, and to think, so much has happened that you couldn’t even handle a person as insignificant as an ant, costing us the life of a Lord Tiansong."

"What a capability!"

The Giant Hand spoke with a continuous cold laugh.

The people below all kept their heads down, not uttering a word.

Actually, under such circumstances, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to speak; they simply didn’t dare to.

They were very aware that the Giant Hand was extremely angry at this moment.

If they truly spoke and were the slightest bit careless, they would enrage the Giant Hand, and once he lost his temper, the person who angered him would undoubtedly face death!

"Linghu, step forward!"

The Giant Hand coldly commanded again.

An elderly man with a trembling body stood up, his face pale as paper and his body shaking uncontrollably, clearly showing his immense fear.

He was truly terrified of the Giant Hand from the bottom of his heart!

The Giant Hand looked at the elder and then said, "Rest assured, I will not kill you!"

After hearing the words of the Giant Hand, the elder breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

The Giant Hand hummed once more and continued, "However, though the death penalty can be spared, the living punishment will not easily be forgiven. Tell me, before I went into seclusion, I entrusted the entire Giant Hand Sect to you to manage, but now look at it, you’ve turned my Giant Hand Sect into a complete mess. Answer me, how should I deal with you?"

The elder, frightened, promptly knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy, "Sect Leader, please spare me, Sect Leader, please spare me!"

"Hmph, now you know to beg for mercy,"

The Giant Hand said with a sneer.

At that moment, waves of murderous intent emanated from the Giant Hand’s body.

But after a while, the Giant Hand waved his hand and said, "Enough, now, I will not bother with you for the time being; after I deal with those three ants, I will come back to take care of you useless bunch!"

Saying this, the Giant Hand paused briefly before continuing, "Anyway, I will be heading to the second-level area soon, so keeping you lot around is of no use to me anyway!"

What?

Upon hearing the Giant Hand’s words, everyone’s faces turned extremely unsightly, and at the same time, their hearts were filled with terror.

The Giant Hand, he was actually going to the second-level area?

Indeed, they knew that with the Giant Hand’s strength, he had long been qualified to go to the second-level area, and even after arriving there, the Giant Hand would be considered an expert.

But the Giant Hand had never gone!

It wasn’t that the Giant Hand didn’t want to go, but that he didn’t dare to!

Because Giant Hand had a super powerful enemy in the second-level region, and that enemy wouldn’t come to the first-level region for various reasons, Giant Hand had thus always hunkered down in the first-level region, dominating as king.

And now, Giant Hand actually planned to proactively venture into the second-level region.

That meant, Giant Hand must have made a significant breakthrough during this period of seclusion, confident that even if he went to the second-level region, he could eliminate that powerful enemy, otherwise, he wouldn’t possibly go to the second-level region.

At the same time, everyone started to worry.

Once Giant Hand went to the second-level region, then before leaving, he might really kill them...

"Sect Leader!"

At this moment, a disciple of Giant Hand Sect hurriedly ran in, looking panicked and flustered.

Giant Hand’s brow furrowed slightly, obviously uncomfortable with the panic of his own disciple.

Nevertheless, Giant Hand still suppressed his emotions and asked coldly: "What’s the matter that’s got you so flustered? Has the sky fallen? Rest assured, the sky won’t fall while I’m here!"

That disciple felt the pressure from Giant Hand, trembled all over, and stammered, "Gate Master, big trouble... big trouble, the guy who killed Lord Tiansong, he’s here, right outside the gate now!"

What?

Everyone who heard the disciple’s words couldn’t help but be stunned!

Mu Yi actually came?

Earlier, everyone was still discussing him.

Unexpectedly, he arrived so quickly.

Wasn’t this deliberately courting death?

Simultaneously, everyone’s faces revealed very odd expressions.

Even Giant Hand was somewhat stupefied, originally thinking that after hearing the news of his return, Lin Fan and company might be frightened into hiding. If that was the case, it would take some time for him to find them.

But now...

That guy actually delivered himself to the door, seeking death?

Well, that saved him a lot of effort!

Giant Hand then asked: "How many people came?"

In Giant Hand’s eyes, since Lin Fan and his group dared to come, they certainly brought a lot of experts.

But Giant Hand was very confident in his heart, thinking that no matter how many experts Lin Fan brought, he would not be afraid, not fearful at all...

That disciple said: "It’s just... just Skinny and him together, no one else!"

"Uh..."

Everyone was again somewhat taken aback!

Just two people came?

Even Giant Hand’s face showed a very strange expression, but soon, Giant Hand burst into hearty laughter and said loudly, "Interesting, hehe, quite interesting!"

Others did not know what Giant Hand was thinking at the moment, so they dared not speak, just stood there quietly.

Giant Hand said: "Come on, follow me out. Open your dog eyes wide and watch closely how I kill the little thief Mu Yi. No, I won’t kill him so easily; that little thief dared to offend my Giant Hand Sect, I will make sure his life is worse than death!"

While speaking, Giant Hand walked ahead, swaying towards the front.

Meanwhile, Giant Hand’s face always bore a faint smile, full of confidence.

He didn’t take Lin Fan seriously at all.

In fact, it was normal for Giant Hand not to take Lin Fan seriously.

After all, Giant Hand’s strength was so formidable.

And those subordinate to Giant Hand followed behind him, thinking in their hearts: "This time, it is Mu Yi who came on his own to let Gate Master kill him. Perhaps this could appease Gate Master, and after calming down, maybe he won’t kill us..."

Hope began to rise in their hearts.

Outside, Lin Fan and Skinny were standing there.

Hundreds of people had already surrounded the two of them!

And these hundreds were all experts.

After all, Giant Hand Sect was the foremost power in the first-level region of Chaotic Land; naturally, they had many experts, and even now, more and more kept arriving.

Skinny’s face was somewhat pale, extremely frightened at heart. Truthfully, given the choice, Skinny really wanted to escape immediately because staying here gave him an incredibly oppressive feeling, which was extremely uncomfortable!

But he couldn’t leave!

That’s because he came with Lin Fan. If Lin Fan didn’t leave, naturally, he couldn’t either.

Moreover, under such circumstances, even if Skinny really wanted to leave, he couldn’t, surrounded by so many people. Any of them stepping forward might easily kill him.

To be honest, under these circumstances, Skinny was extremely worried. He feared that he and Lin Fan might not make it out today.

However, Lin Fan casually sat on a rocking chair, swinging comfortably back and forth, with a contented expression on his face. As for the people surrounding them, it seemed as if Lin Fan didn’t see them.

Or rather, Lin Fan simply didn’t take these people seriously at all!

Those Giant Hand Sect disciples surrounding Lin Fan all restrained from attacking.

In truth inwardly, they really wanted to strike Lin Fan down.

However, they ultimately didn’t dare to take action.

Because they felt a unique aura from Lin Fan’s body.

This aura instilled fear in their hearts, a fear that even stemmed from the depths of their souls.

It was because of this deep-seated soulful fear that they dared not make a move...
