I immediately turned and walked towards the elders and disciples who had woken up.
The one that had started suddenly attacking the worms around it was one of the disciples who had just woken up.
The others seemed like they were still a bit disorientated, but it also didn’t seem like they were going to attack.
They knew that it was meaningless to attack rashly like this disciple.
It could be seen that he had the weakest mentality out of all of them, which was why he had acted this rashly. The rest of them knew that it would have been better to keep quiet and assess the situation.
The elder who was this disciple’s master couldn’t help revealing an awkward look when he saw his disciple acting this way.
But before anything else could happen, there was a wall of water that suddenly appeared around them.
This wall of water absorbed the attack that the disciple had thrown out and then there was nothing else that happened.
The disciple was taken aback to see this wall of water suddenly appear and absorb his attack. However, he didn’t stop as he started gathering his spiritual energy again to attack once more.
But before he could, the elder who was his master suddenly sat up and grabbed his hand to stop him.
“Wait, this is…”
His voice trailed off as he looked in a certain direction.
The other elders also looked in that direction as they sensed a familiar aura.
The disciples were confused when they heard this, but they also looked in the direction that the elders were looking in.
When they did, they found that Lin Fan was standing there with his hand up as if he was controlling something.
The disciples didn’t know what this wall of water was, but the elders did.
They had seen Lin Fan using this wall of water before in his spar against Senior Brother Ying. So they knew that it was their sect master who had created this wall of water around them.
The only thing was that they were completely confused by this.
Why would their sect master put this wall of water up?
Was it to protect them or was it to protect the black worms that were around them?
That was the question that they had in their minds until they saw the black toad that was on his shoulder. This toad was the same colour as the black worms, so they didn’t even need to think to come up with a guess.
All of the elders seemed like they were prepared to fight, but Lin Fan quickly said, “Wait, it’s not what you think.”
The elders were surprised, but they only paused for a second before they prepared to attack again.
After all, there was the possibility that Lin Fan was being controlled by the toad to say this. They wouldn’t take a chance with this and would only check after they subdued him.
But Lin Fan quickly closed his hand which caused the wall of water to close around them.
When it did, it suddenly put out the spiritual energy that they had been gathering.
Even though they had wanted to attack, they couldn’t do so in the end.
Lin Fan let out a secret sigh of relief.
If they weren’t still weakened, then it would have been impossible for him to do something like this. It was only because they were weak from just breaking free of the Control Toad’s control that he was able to do this.
Once he stopped them from attacking, Lin Fan grabbed the Control Toad from his shoulder and placed it in front of the wall of water before saying, “I’m the one controlling it, it’s not controlling me.”
The elders and disciples all revealed shocked looks when they heard this, but they also quickly revealed cautious looks.
After all, it just seemed too coincidental for them to believe that it was true.
They were to just believe that their sect master had been able to tame the thing that had been controlling them?
It was just too hard to believe.
Lin Fan could see the way that they were looking at him, so he knew that if he were to let them go, they would immediately attack him.
So the only thing that he could do was hold the Control Toad out and give it a few orders like he had done for the snitch.
But it didn’t go as well this time since they didn’t seem to believe him at all.
Lin Fan gave a sigh as he chose to use another method.
He looked at the snitch as if he was asking for its help, but the snitch moved back and forth like it was shaking its head.
Lin Fan and the snitch went back and forth a few times before the snitch finally slowly moved up and down as if it was nodding in agreement. But it was clear by the way that it moved that it wasn’t on board with whatever idea Lin Fan had.
Lin Fan told the Control Toad to bring over one of the puppets that it had just gotten control over.
The Control Toad was very confused when it heard this, but it still brought one of the wolf puppets that it had tamed over.
When that wolf puppet stood in front of Lin Fan, in full view of the elders and disciples, Lin Fan gave a nod to the snitch.
When the Control Toad saw this, it couldn’t help feeling a very bad feeling and quickly jumped up to Lin Fan’s shoulder. It tucked itself behind Lin Fan’s neck, as if it was hiding from the snitch.
The snitch naturally saw this as well, so it flew in a disdainful manner.
But still it floated over to the puppet and released its golden powder over it.
When this golden powder fell onto the puppet, it immediately dropped to the floor and the same black veins appeared on its skin.
Then after a while, the black worms were forced out of the wolf and onto the ground where they suddenly burst.
The Control Toad winced when this happened. This was a fresh puppet for it, so the connection wasn’t as strong and breaking it so suddenly was painful for the Control Toad, but it had no choice but to let Lin Fan do this.
It was warily looking at the snitch, as if it was afraid that this snitch would take this chance to sneak attack it.
But the snitch behaved in the end and only sprayed the wolf.
After this was done, Lin Fan waved his hand for the snitch to come over.
The snitch floated over to Lin Fan’s side before suddenly flying in a shocked manner when it heard what he said.
Lin Fan didn’t bother explaining and just simply took the Control Toad off his shoulder before turning back to look at the snitch. The look in his eyes seemed like he was waiting for the snitch to do something.
The snitch hesitated a bit, but in the end…it did what Lin Fan wanted.
It flew over Lin Fan’s head and started dropping that golden powder on Lin Fan.
That golden powder completely covered Lin Fan from head to toe, but there was no reaction that came from him.
When the elders and disciples saw this, they deeply knitted their brows.
They had seen what the golden powder had done to the wolf, so they knew exactly what this golden powder could do.
That was why they were shocked to see that it had no effect on Lin Fan.
But still, this was enough to prove to them that he wasn’t affected by the Control Toad and was indeed controlling the Control Toad now.
Lin Fan waited for the elders and disciples to reveal looks of understanding before having the snitch stop.
After he dusted the golden powder off of himself, he waved his hand and the wall of water disappeared from around the elders and disciples.
They quickly came forward to surround him and ask him all kinds of questions, but they were speaking over each other that he wasn’t able to answer in the end.
So he raised his hand for them to calm down so he could talk to them one by one instead of having them talk all at the same time.
It was just too bad that at this time, there was another group that suddenly came into the room.
As soon as they arrived, they immediately saw Lin Fan surrounded by the elders and disciples. Then they quickly came over as well, but they stopped when they saw the Control Toad on the ground.
As soon as they saw this Control Toad, they immediately stopped and revealed a cautious stance.
They could tell from the colour of this Control Toad that it was most like the thing that controlled everyone, so they quickly pulled out their weapons.
The Control Toad was terrified by this and quickly jumped back onto Lin Fan’s shoulder, hiding behind his neck.
When this group saw this, they immediately said, “Sect master, be careful!”
This group was the group of elders who had been waiting outside. They had slowly charged in when they heard the explosions caused by the disciple’s attack.
Lin Fan just had a bitter smile on his face as he explained what he had explained early.
Then he gave the same demonstration with the snitch and the wolf puppet.
The wolf puppet was the one that suffered the most…being injected with the Control Worm three times in a row…
But by the end, Lin Fan was able to explain everything and they all calmed down.
