After taking a punch from Lin Fan, the corners of the square-faced man’s eyes split open, swelled up, and were covered in blood. He felt like the world was spinning, as if his soul had scattered with the force of the punch.

As soon as Lin Fan let go, the square-faced man’s body began to wobble.

Not giving him a chance to recover, Lin Fan immediately followed with a flying kick, sending the square-faced man flying backward. With a muffled groan, he crashed to the ground like a dead dog, his body twitching, unable to stand up.

Although Lin Fan hadn’t crippled him, he was already injured and drained of energy. At this moment, he was as weak as a sick cat, needing a long period of meditation to restore his inner strength.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Fan, asking in horror: "Who exactly are you?"

His curiosity was overwhelming, causing him to momentarily forget his situation.

But Lin Fan just stood there calmly, watching him without answering his question.

A second later, the square-faced man realized his predicament and instinctively tried to crawl away to leave this place as soon as possible. Yes, he wanted to escape.

But the Yun Sect would not give him this chance!

Yun Zhongzheng had reacted first. Although he was injured in a fight with the square-faced man and later tortured by him, covered in blood, he was now stronger than the square-faced man.

He struggled to stand up, picked up a sword that had fallen to the ground, and staggered over to the square-faced man.

With one slash, the sword hit the square-faced man’s left hand, blood splattered, and his left hand was instantly crippled.

"Ah!" The square-faced man screamed in agony.

Yun Zhongzheng maintained a stern face and delivered a second slash.

Blood spurted from the square-faced man’s right hand, crippling it too.

Then came the third and fourth slashes, severing the tendons of the square-faced man’s legs!

In the blink of an eye, the square-faced man became a ruin with crippled limbs! No chance of survival, Yun Zhongzheng intended to cripple him while he was weak, leaving him no chance of recovery.

Then the fifth slash, Yun Zhongzheng stabbed the square-faced man’s dantian.

"Ah!"

The square-faced man let out a heart-wrenching scream, drenched in sweat, his face pale as paper. With his dantian pierced, he was finally completely ruined, unable to bear the immense pain and shock, his eyes rolled back, fainting away.

Witnessing this, the Yun Sect members felt relieved and thrilled, finally, this villain was incapacitated!

At the same time, they were relieved to have survived, with the square-faced man incapacitated, they had narrowly escaped a disaster.

Yun Zhongzheng did not kill the square-faced man, but instead threw aside the sword, instructing, "Lock him up, guard him carefully, don’t let him die, I want to interrogate him personally later."

The background of this square-faced man was unknown, and Yun Zhongzheng needed to gather some information, so the man wouldn’t be allowed to die easily.

Two young disciples came over to drag away the square-faced man like a dead dog.

Thus, this disaster that befell the Yun Sect finally came to an end.

The Yun Sect members instantly rejoiced, all beaming with smiles, the feeling of surviving a catastrophe was undeniably exhilarating.

The mother of the three-year-old child immediately ran over to her grandmother, took her child into her arms, and smiled while shedding tears.

With a thud, the mother then knelt before Lin Fan, incessantly kowtowing, grateful for Lin Fan saving her child.

Lin Fan helped her up, saying: "A mere trifle, no need for such courtesy."

Upon hearing the words ’a mere trifle’, the Yun Sect members were rendered speechless with shock. That square-faced man was strong enough to annihilate their sect, and Lin Fan defeated him with ease?

Then how strong must Lin Fan truly be!

The elder who had previously wanted to confront Lin Fan, now turned pale with fear, realizing the unimaginable consequences if he had indeed fought Lin Fan!

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your assistance, you saved our Yun Clan!" Yun Zhongzheng walked up to Lin Fan, expressing his gratitude.

Lin Fan smiled and said: "Sect Leader Yun, should we fulfill the conditions we agreed upon earlier?"

Yun Zhongzheng hurriedly replied: "Of course, from now on our Yun Sect will not trouble Mr. Lin. In fact, Mr. Lin is our savior. Yun Clan members, follow orders, and thank Mr. Lin!"

Under Yun Zhongzheng’s lead, the Yun Sect members together bowed to Lin Fan, speaking in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

Such a scene Lin Fan had never witnessed before, laughing: "No need for such formalities."

At this time, Yun Qingyao also joined the others to bow to Lin Fan, but her expression was more complex than anyone else’s. She glanced at Lin Fan, her cheeks involuntarily reddened, even through her veil, her fiery blush could be sensed.

Grandma, standing nearby, looked at Lin Fan, then at Yun Qingyao, smiling with meaning.

With the enemy removed, the sect saved, and the treasure preserved, Yun Zhongzheng was in high spirits, especially grateful to Lin Fan. Without Lin Fan, the Yun Sect would have faced tragedy today. Although some members perished, overall, this was the best outcome.

"Today, we shall hold a grand banquet to treat Mr. Lin with the utmost hospitality; from today forward, Mr. Lin is an esteemed guest of our Yun Clan!" Yun Zhongzheng promptly announced.

Lin Fan had originally planned to leave, as the matter at the Yun Sect had reached its conclusion and his purpose in coming had been fulfilled.

But he decided to stay, departing, yes, but not before enjoying a meal.

"After such a fight, I’m indeed a bit hungry, so I’ll trouble you for that." Lin Fan laughed, not having had a satisfying breakfast, he might as well indulge in a good meal.

Yun Zhongzheng laughed heartily: "Mr. Lin, please!"

Immediately, the Yun Sect began to clean up the battlefield, then slaughter pigs and sheep, preparing a grand feast to entertain Lin Fan.

At the banquet, Lin Fan was invited to sit alongside Yun Zhongzheng at the head table, receiving the highest standard of hospitality. The Yun Sect had never hosted a guest like Lin Fan, after all, what happened today was an exceptional occurrence, and experts like Lin Fan were rare.

Due to Lin Fan’s defeat of the square-faced man, Yun Zhongzheng became increasingly certain of his prior speculations, believing that Lin Fan must belong to a Hidden Sect, and indeed from a Super Hidden Sect.

Lin Fan, so young, achieving such greatness must indicate his talent; even among a Super Hidden Sect, Lin Fan would undoubtedly be outstanding!

Yun Zhongzheng, while offering wine to Lin Fan, tried to inquire about his background, but Lin Fan’s responses remained consistent, revealing nothing special.

Seeing he couldn’t extract any information, Yun Zhongzheng gave up, but this didn’t change his thoughts, he firmly believed Lin Fan’s origins were extraordinary.

Curious himself about Yun Sect’s treasure, Lin Fan wondered what was so valuable that the Yun Sect would rather face annihilation than surrender it. But curiosity aside, Lin Fan did not ask, knowing some things are better left unknown, especially amidst the conflicts of Hidden Sects.

Yun Sect members crowded around to offer Lin Fan wine, beyond the leaders of the Yun Sect, younger members approached to connect with Lin Fan too, and soon Lin Fan had acquainted himself with most of the Yun Sect.

Suddenly, Lin Fan noticed Yun Qingyao seemed to have disappeared?

Just as Lin Fan wondered where Yun Qingyao went, suddenly the crowd surged with excitement, everyone looked towards one direction.
