Chapter 1724: Chapter 1821: Kou Family Leading People
Fang Lin didn’t bother too much with these three Kou Family Guest Elders. These three had no grievances with him and were only swayed by the words of that woman with the surna Kou. Fang Lin had already made them suffer a bit, so he didn’t want to continue bothering them.
However, Fang Lin found the woman with the surna Kou quite repulsive. He despised those who recklessly acted just because of their backgrounds and lacked intelligence, and Fang Lin was never polite to such people.
It was like when he first t Dugu Nian. Fang Lin also disliked her at that ti, so he taught her a harsh lesson and even hung her up in a tree.
This woman with the surna Kou was even more serious than Dugu Nian back then. Fang Lin had seen many arrogant young people, but those as arrogant as her were rare.
Therefore, Fang Lin disabled the woman’s cultivation.
Even though Fang Lin’s cultivation was sealed, he carried many pills with him, including a pill that could abolish a martial artist’s cultivation.
As long as one wasn’t at the Longevity Realm, consuming this pill would render all their cultivation worthless, leaving nothing behind.
Fang Lin forced the Kou woman to consu the pill, and in no ti, she went from having Spirit Bone cultivation to being no different from an ordinary person.
Fang Lin wouldn’t care how desperate and miserable she beca. After provoking him ti and again, she should pay the price.
“The three of you can leave, let her stay here,” Fang Lin said to the three short n.
The three n acted like they had received amnesty, bowing repeatedly to Fang Lin. They couldn’t care less about the fate of the woman with the surna Kou, as long as they themselves could stay alive.
At worst, they would stop being Guest Elders for the Kou Family. The world was vast, and with their Spirit Source cultivation, they could find a way to make a living anywhere.
The woman with the surna Kou slumped to the ground, looking lost and frightened, her complexion as white as a sheet. If she appeared in the middle of the night, she might be mistaken for a ghost.
Fang Lin felt no pity for the woman. Since he had already abolished her cultivation, he wouldn’t do anything more to her.
“When your family elders co for you, I’ll let you go. Until then, if you make any moves, I won’t hesitate to let your family collect your body,” Fang Lin said coldly.
The woman with the surna Kou looked up at Fang Lin, her eyes devoid of resentnt, filled only with terror and despair.
Without her cultivation, her path in martial arts was severed. Moreover, it ended her career as a Pill Refiner.
Unless she started cultivating from scratch, she would remain a diocre person for the rest of her life.
Even if she started cultivating again, she would be too far behind her peers, with future accomplishnts unlikely to be significant.
At that mont, the woman with the surna Kou only felt regret. She regretted how blind she was, regretted her stupidity. Despite suffering before, she still sought trouble with Fang Lin.
If she hadn’t incited the three Guest Elders from her family to intervene and had instead endured just this once, how would she have ended up in such a pitiable state?
Regret was futile; she could only swallow the bitter fruit she had sown.
As for hatred, she couldn’t say it didn’t exist, but the woman now realized thoroughly that resentnt against Fang Lin was pointless. She could never contend with soone like Fang Lin, and acceptance was her only choice.
Fang Lin cast a glance at the dispirited woman, saying nothing more, and returned to the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron.
“Thank you, Master Fang, for showing rcy,” Liu Zhou said, expressing gratitude to Fang Lin.
Fang Lin smiled, “Focus on Pill Refining.”
Liu Zhou glanced at the woman with the surna Kou in the distance and sighed quietly in his heart. The reason Fang Lin hadn’t killed that woman was out of consideration for him.
On the ninth day of Pill Refining, the Kou woman’s elders indeed ca for her, and the scene was quite grand, with nearly all the experts from the Kou Family arriving. The old patriarch of the Kou Family led them, possessing cultivation at the peak of Minor Longevity, not far from Great Longevity.
The woman with the surna Kou wept uncontrollably upon seeing her family elders, crying pitifully.
After all, she was just a woman in her twenties, finally breaking down after experiencing such tribulations.
“Who did this?” The old patriarch of the Kou Family asked angrily, imdiately looking toward Fang Lin and Liu Zhou.
Fang Lin turned around, glancing at the old patriarch of the Kou Family. The latter was about to explode in anger but cald down imdiately upon seeing Fang Lin’s face.
“Master Fang?” The old patriarch of the Kou Family looked at Fang Lin, his expression uncertain.
Fang Lin remained expressionless, “So the Patriarch of the Kou Family recognizes .”
The old patriarch’s expression changed quickly. He understood almost imdiately that his granddaughter had probably provoked Fang Lin and had her cultivation abolished as a result.
The reason the old patriarch recognized Fang Lin was due to an event seven years ago in Flat Sea City, where Fang Lin had outshone the Taoist Sect’s Pill Pulsar, Jade Qincheng. The old patriarch happened to be in Flat Sea City then.
Not long ago, Fang Lin appeared in Tang Capital, attending as a guest for both the Alchemy Tao Family and the Pill Alliance. The old patriarch had the privilege of being present at Tang Tower, so he rembered Fang Lin’s face clearly.
“Unexpectedly eting Master Fang here, I, Kou Zhongxi, was impolite,” the old patriarch of the Kou Family greeted Fang Lin with folded fists, not daring to show any negligence.
As the old patriarch of the Kou Family, he was an experienced elder strongman, but he dared not assu the senior role before soone like Fang Lin.
It’s a joke. Besides Fang Lin’s identity as a Master of Pill and his past achievents, the re ntion of the Sky Swallowing Palace would make Kou Zhongxi bow his head.
“This is a mber of your Kou Family, you can take her back. As for the grievance between her and …”
Before Fang Lin could finish, Kou Zhongxi quickly said, “It must be this girl’s disrespect toward Master Fang. I will make sure to discipline her strictly and hope Master Fang will forgive her.”
The other mbers of the Kou Family exchanged glances, not expecting their usually imposing old patriarch to humble himself so. It showed no intention of pursuing the matter.
But it was understandable. The person before them was Fang Lin, soone who was not to be antagonized by any power across the Nine Countries. Although the Kou Family was strong, challenging the Sky Swallowing Palace behind Fang Lin was beyond them, even if they had ten families.
Regarding his granddaughter’s abolishnt of cultivation, the old patriarch of the Kou Family could only admit bad luck. This reckless granddaughter had unfortunately provoked soone like Fang Lin, and they counted themselves lucky for not implicating the Kou Family.
“All right, the Patriarch of the Kou Family may take her away, but I hope no one else disturbs and Master Liu during our Pill Refining,” Fang Lin said lightly.
“Absolutely not!” The old patriarch replied, saluting Fang Lin again before hastily departing with the woman surnad Kou and a large entourage.
