Chapter 337: Without Comparison, There Is No Harm!

Lin Xiaotian and Gu Cheng looked at each other after hearing the words.

A wave of nausea immediately surged up within them.

Gu Cheng protested:

“You… you are tarnishing the reputation of the Brahma God Sect!”

Lin Yi sneered:

“Reputation? What reputation? All I know is that if you still don’t hand it over, I can guarantee that the names of you two will spread throughout the entire Destiny Continent!”

“Especially you, Lin Xiaotian. You’ve kept your mouth shut for so many years, and who would have thought that your first words would actually be… hahaha, I truly can’t wait!”

After saying this, Lin Yi looked at Gu Fan and said:

“Brother Gu, I think this matter is far more entertaining than the Burial Root. Why don’t we forget about the Burial Root and just proceed with your plan directly?”

Gu Fan was speechless, but what Lin Yi said wasn’t wrong. If these two really ended up being killed, then their names would indeed spread across the continent.

The only question was whether the two would still have the face to live afterward.

At this moment, Lin Xiaotian finally spoke.

Still clinging to his last shred of hope, he struggled and said:

“Do you really not fear the retaliation of the Pure Radiance God Sect? Doing things too ruthlessly benefits no one!”

“That’s right, the Gu Family is the same. Gu Fan, even if you don’t care for yourself, you should at least consider your sect!”

Gu Fan no longer spoke. His patience had already been worn thin.

Consider the sect? What a joke.

He did not believe that disciples whose reputations had been utterly ruined would be worth a sect launching a great crusade over.

At most, they would be punished a little, and the matter would quietly pass.

After all, if things really escalated and touched upon greater interests, then that would be another matter entirely!

“Lin Yi, prepare to act. I can’t be bothered to waste words any longer!”

Lin Yi’s face lit with excitement as he unleashed boundless sword qi to kill the two.

Meanwhile, Gu Fan released his domain to ensure they would be crushed in one strike.

The two domains overlapped, instantly suppressing Lin Xiaotian and Gu Cheng to the point that they had no chance of even moving!

Only now did Lin Xiaotian truly feel fear.

This Gu Fan was utterly unyielding—no matter how he threatened or warned, it was as if the man had not a single shred of concern.

“Wait! I agree to hand over the Burial Root!”

Gu Cheng quickly surrendered as well:

“Me too, I am willing to hand over the Burial Root!”

Seeing that the two had given in, Gu Fan could only signal Lin Yi to stop.

After all, the Burial Root was a tangible benefit—better to secure it first!

Gu Fan slowly descended from the air and said with a smile:

“In that case, then hand it over.”

Gu Cheng gritted his teeth and took out a storage pouch.

Gu Fan opened it and saw there were only a little over sixty inside.

His face immediately darkened.

“Do you take me for a fool? Very well, since you enjoy thrills so much, I’ll cripple you and toss you into a herd of savage beasts, with plenty of herbs to feed them!”

Gu Cheng’s expression instantly changed as he hurriedly said:

“No, no! I was confused just now—here’s another pouch!”

He threw out another storage pouch.

Inside were another seventy or so.

Together, the two pouches held over one hundred thirty roots. Now it looked more reasonable.

Gu Fan then turned his gaze to Lin Xiaotian, stretching out his hand with a smile:

“Be straightforward. Losing to me isn’t shameful. You couldn’t even beat Ying Langtian—so what makes you think you can win against us?”

“You!”

Lin Xiaotian was infuriated, but given the opponent’s strength, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and hand over all the Burial Roots he had.

Gu Fan glanced inside—good heavens, a full one hundred sixty roots!

Truly, fortune was tempting!

Gu Fan then tossed fifteen roots back to each of the two and said:

“These are for you to turn in to your sects. With so many disciples watching, don’t think of pocketing them for yourselves.”

Lin Xiaotian froze, then after realizing the meaning, his face twisted with rage!

This bastard!

Gu Fan was forcing him to hand these fifteen over. That way, the sect’s base benefits would be preserved, but the losses of the disciples couldn’t be spoken of openly.

In other words, this loss had to be silently borne by all disciples of the Pure Radiance God Sect!

“Fine, we’ll swallow this loss. But Gu Fan, the days ahead are still long.”

Gu Fan impatiently waved his hand:

“No need for empty threats. If you can keep up with my pace, that alone will be your honor.”

With that, he returned to the disciples of the Brahma God Sect with his spoils.

Then, he took out more than two hundred Burial Roots.

“As the newly appointed Holy Son of the Brahma God Sect, I naturally must bring benefits to everyone. Since you have followed me on this campaign, you deserve a reward.”

“Here are two hundred Burial Roots—two for each of you!”

All the disciples of the Brahma God Sect were dumbfounded.

Some of them had followed the Holy Son on previous missions before.

Though they had gained some benefits, never anything this precious!

These were treasures that could increase the chance of attaining the Union Dao Realm. Even if their aptitude meant they might not use them themselves, they could exchange them for other treasures to greatly increase their strength!

This was a real benefit!

In an instant, all the disciples erupted with excitement!

“Thank you, Holy Son Senior Brother!”

“Long live Holy Son Senior Brother!”

“This is the Holy Son our Brahma God Sect should revere, one who brings blessings for everyone!”

Mixed in were the voices of many disciples from Holy Son Peak, which only amplified the adulation until Gu Fan’s prestige reached its peak.

Though it pained him somewhat to part with so much, Gu Fan knew that from a long-term perspective, it was worth it.

Ying Langtian had not been weak, and his prestige among disciples had been high, but that prestige was based solely on strength.

The moment a stronger disciple appeared, Ying Langtian was quickly forgotten.

Even after Gu Fan slew him, no one grieved.

But Gu Fan was different—he wanted every disciple to know that his presence as Holy Son meant tangible benefits for them.

Real benefits!

That way, the disciples would truly remember his kindness.

Over time, their loyalty would be secured.

Even those outside of Holy Son Peak would revere him.

He would become the first disciple in the sect whose prestige rivaled that of the Sect Master himself.

By then, whether high elders or even the Sect Master, all would have to acknowledge his position—because he would represent all the disciples of the sect!

As the disciples of the Brahma God Sect cheered, those of the other three sects looked rather awkward.

Especially Lin Xiaotian and the other two, who wanted to die from embarrassment.

“Damn that Gu Fan! If he wanted to reward disciples, he could have done it in private—why do it in front of us…”

Gu Cheng cursed under his breath.

The way Gu Fan did things, the sense of contrast was unavoidable.

For a moment, disciples of the three sects could not tell if they were more envious or jealous, but many cast sidelong glances at their own Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.

Those glances made the three feel increasingly uneasy.

It was as if they were saying: Look at their Holy Son, then look at you—what rotten luck we have…

A moment later, Gu Fan once again approached the three sects.

The mission was nearly over, time was almost up, and naturally, he was preparing to enact his escape plan.

“Everyone, time is nearly up. I’ll take my leave first.”

The three were stunned. What did he mean by this?

Then, Gu Fan waved his hand, and a terrifying formation fell, suppressing all disciples of the three sects within it!

At the same time, Gu Fan unleashed his domain power, while Lin Yi, catching his intent, opened his domain as well.

With two domains suppressing them, these disciples, who had not yet grasped the rules of domains, would need at least half an hour even if they tried to break free by brute force!
