The elders thought that Lin Fan would stop before reaching his butt, but it didn’t seem like he would.
Though the disciple was forced to lie face down, he could still see Lin Fan reaching towards his butt and started to panic.
His eyes opened wide and he looked like he was terrified for his life.
At this point, the elders couldn’t just stand there and do nothing.
Senior Brother Ying came forward and was about to grab Lin Fan’s hand as he said, “Sect master, I think that this has gone too far. How about we…”
Before he could do anything, Lin Fan’s hand suddenly went forward and grabbed something before pulling back.
As soon as he did, the disciple’s body twitched as if it was in extreme pain before he fell flat on the ground. He didn’t move at all as he just laid there on the ground, almost as if he was dead.
All of the elders were frozen in shock.
It was only Senior Brother Ying who suddenly turned around and checked the pulse of the disciple on the ground.
When he felt the pulse of the disciple, he let out a sigh of relief before turning around to say, “He’s still alive.”
The others also let out a sigh of relief before turning to look at Lin Fan with accusatory looks, as if they were asking him what he was doing.
But Lin Fan didn’t pay attention to any of them.
Instead, he seemed to be focused on something that he had in his hand.
With the way that his hand was shaking, it almost seemed like whatever he was holding in his hand was trying to break free. But Lin Fan kept a firm grip on whatever he was holding and it couldn’t break out of that grip.
After a while, there was a barrier that appeared around Lin Fan’s hand and he finally opened it up to reveal…
A worm.
There was a worm that was in Lin Fan’s hand.
This thing looked like a normal worm from its appearance, it was just that it was completely black in colour.
It wasn’t a normal black colour, but rather a sickly black colour that seemed to represent death.
It was still struggling inside of the barrier, but it couldn’t do anything as it slammed its small body against the barrier that Lin Fan put up around it. However, it wasn’t able to break free of the barrier that had surrounded it.
When the elders saw this worm, they couldn’t help revealing a strange look.
That was because this worm was similar to one that they had seen before.
This worm looked like the sandworm that they had faced in the desert before.
But why would there be a worm here?
When they looked back at the disciple, they found that there was some kind of black liquid coming from his lower back above his butt. This was where Lin Fan had suddenly grabbed something and pulled from.
This black liquid was the same colour as the worm in his hand, so they could guess that this was most likely what Lin Fan had pulled from the disciple.
But why would there be a black worm there?
Of course, it didn’t take much for them to figure out that this black worm was most likely what had caused the disciple to faint. And if they had to guess, it was most likely something that had been controlling the disciple.
That was why the disciple had been panicking when Lin Fan reached for his lower back.
Senior Brother Ying then asked, “Sect master, what should we do now?”
The elders were just too confused to do anything.
They had no idea what was even happening, so they could only look to Lin Fan who seemed to know.
Lin Fan had been looking down at the black worm in his hand when he heard Senior Brother Ying asking him this.
He was pulled out of his thoughts and looked up when he heard what Senior Brother Ying said.
He looked back down at the disciple for a bit before saying, “Heal him and let’s ask what really happened. For now, it seems like they most likely parasitized the ones that they captured, so we shouldn’t worry about them being dead. But we also can’t waste too much time, or we might not be able to save them anymore.”
The elders all deeply knitted their brows when they heard this before moving over to the disciple.
But it was only one elder who came down beside the disciple to help him.
She had light attributed spiritual energy which could be used for healing, so she would use that on him.
But before she could, Lin Fan suddenly said as if adding on an afterthought, “Be sure to clean the black liquid out first or else something might happen to him.”
This elder had already reached her hand which was covered in a white glow out, but she stopped when she heard this.
She then reached out as if she was about to wipe it away, but Lin Fan also said, “You shouldn’t touch it with your hand, I have no idea what it will do.”
The elder looked up at Lin Fan with a bitter look on her face, as if she was saying, “Can you say everything at once?”
However, Lin Fan had already turned his attention back to the worm in his hand.
So the elder just followed his instructions and cleaned up the wound before healing it.
After healing it for a bit, she pulled out a healing powder that she used on this wound.
This was the same healing powder as before, the one that had an amazing effect.
She hadn’t used this earlier because she wanted to see what the disciple’s wounds were like. Once she had made sure that there weren’t any deep wounds and that this powder would be able to heal him, she pulled it out to use it on him.
When the elder sprinkled the powder on the disciple’s wounds, it started healing at a rate that they could see.
It didn’t take long for that wound to completely close and heal up.
The only problem now was that this disciple was still unconscious.
They didn’t know what would happen, but they knew that it would be dangerous to wake the disciple up.
After all, this worm had been controlling the disciple’s mind and there was no telling what it had done. If they forcefully woke this disciple up, then they couldn’t imagine what the consequences would be.
The problem was that they didn’t have time to spare to wait for the disciple to wake up naturally.
There were still others that had been captured, so they had to hurry and save them.
So they were in a dilemma on what to do.
But that didn’t matter to Lin Fan at all.
Lin Fan just asked the elder, “Is he healed?”
The elder gave a nod before saying, “He’s healed, but he’s still unconscious. I don’t want to wake him just…”
Before she could finish what she was saying, Lin Fan had already moved forward towards the disciple.
Then in front of everyone, he lifted the disciple up with one hand and threw him into the air before slapping his face.
All of them could only look at Lin Fan in shock as he did this.
After he slapped the disciple, he just let him fall to the ground and waited to see how the disciple would react.
The disciple’s eyes opened immediately after being slapped like this and he immediately sat up in a daze as if he didn’t know what was happening.
Then as if reacting to the pain, he brought his hands up to his face and said, “Ow! What’s going on? Who’s slapping me?”
Seeing this, the elders all let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Lin Fan suddenly slapping this disciple and waking him up didn’t have any consequences.
They had been worried about doing this, but it seemed that waking him up forcefully didn’t have any bad effects on him. In fact, it seemed like he was perfectly fine even though he had been controlled just now.
But that didn’t stop them from looking at Lin Fan with looks of blame.
After all, it could have turned out very poorly.
If this disciple had turned brain dead because of this…they would have lost their only lead. And the worst part was that it was them who had done this to them.
Lin Fan just ignored all of this since he knew something that they didn’t.
He had been watching the disciple with his Appraisal Eyes the entire time.
That was how he had discovered that the disciple had been controlled in the first place.
During the fight, he had been carefully looking at this disciple’s body with the Appraisal Eyes to find where the thing controlling him was. That was how he knew to pull out the worm that wasn’t visible since it was covered by his clothes.
Then after pulling it out, he saw that the disciple had lost the controlled condition in his status, so he knew that it was fine to wake him up.
That was why he didn’t hesitate to slap him awake.
Now that this disciple was awake, it was time for him to get information from him.
So he grabbed the disciple by the collar and lifted him up before saying, “Tell me what happened to your master and the others.”
The disciple was caught off guard by this as he said, “Sect master? What’s going…”
Before he could say anything else, Lin Fan dropped him and slapped him again before picking him up off the ground.
After lifting him up again, Lin Fan said, “Tell me what I want to know.”
The disciple was still stunned by this, but he slowly started giving Lin Fan the information that he wanted.
