Chapter 79 The annual crisis is coming! -2W
The next day, the Lanyue Sect had been completely transformed.
With the joint efforts of several elders and seven mascots, all twenty-five sacred mountains were transformed.
It's not that exaggerated to say it's a transformation.
To put it simply, the original grass, about three feet of soil and most of the spiritual plants were shoveled away, leaving only the most valuable things, and then covering them with the ones Lin Fan brought back.
The seven mascots can only do hard labor.
But the elders are blessed with magic, so their efficiency is extremely high.
When the people from the six sects arrived, they took a look from afar, and felt the spiritual energy emanating from it, and they could not help but be surprised.
"Is this the Lanyue Sect?!"
"No, that's wrong!"
"Why is the spiritual energy of the Lanyue Sect so abundant?"
"Palace Master Wang, your Yulin Palace has the blessing of spiritual veins, but it's not as good as them, right?"
Since they had discussed it in advance, they came together. At this moment, everyone looked at Wang Yulin, waiting for his answer.
"Indeed, it is not as good as that."
Wang Yulin did not hide it and sighed: "Although the mineral vein is good, the one in my Yulin Palace is too small after all. The spiritual energy it can provide is limited, which is nothing."
The people from the other five sects rolled their eyes, thinking to themselves, you are such a damn fool but you don't know how lucky you are.
We want it but we don't have it yet!
Unexpectedly, Wang Yulin said, "Don't mention our Yulin Palace. A few days ago, I visited a second-rate sect. The spiritual energy in their mountain gates may not be as strong as that of the Lanyue Sect today!"
"That is, the important spiritual peaks are more dense."
When these words came out, they were even more surprised.
The leader of the Five Thunder Sect asked with emotion: "I wanted to say it just now."
"The spiritual energy of the Lanyue Sect's mountain gate no longer seems like what we should have in this area. Could it be the work of the Liu family?"
After a brief exchange, they were even more surprised.
If it was really the work of the Liu family, doesn't it mean that the Liu family attaches great importance to the Lanyue Sect?
When they landed outside the mountain gate, Murong Piwa and Zuo Qingqing had already been waiting for a long time.
Although they were of no great use in the past, they are now inner disciples. With the help of elixirs, they have reached the second or third level of the Nascent Soul Realm, which is not too bad.
At least being a 'gatekeeper disciple' is enough.
"Everyone, please."
The two were nervous, but somehow they did not show any fear and invited the group to the Lanyue Sect.
······
The main peak of Lanyue Sect.
Lin Fan was looking forward to it. The five elders stood in a row behind him like statues.
Seeing the people coming, he immediately went to greet them with a loud smile: "You all have come from far away, I hope I failed to welcome you in person, I hope you will forgive me, I hope you will forgive me!"
Wang Yulin, Zhang Wendao and others were speechless.
You threatened us like that in the visiting card, but now that we're here, you're welcoming us with such a smile and even preparing spiritual tea and spiritual fruit?
This kind of contrast is really hard for us to adapt, right?!
They were secretly alert.
Little did they know that Lin Fan also had his own difficulties.
The Lanyue Sect had been doing too badly before, and with that little reputation, if you talk to them nicely, persuade them with kind words, or even beg them humbly, they might not come.
Even if they come, I guess they will just send an elder to deal with the matter perfunctorily, just to say hello.
But what I have to do is a big thing~
We can only threaten them and get them to come over.
I believe they will understand.
Seeing that they were not very enthusiastic, Lin Fan did not rush, but just shook hands with them happily, which made them even more confused.
"Since you are willing to give me face and come here, from now on, we are brothers!"
"Yeah, there are brothers and sisters."
The head of Huanling Valley, Chen Bixuan, twitched the corner of her mouth.
I'm already seven or eight hundred years old, and you call me sister?
This is starting to get the upper hand, right?
Zhang Wendao, Wang Yulin and others were also not used to it.
How come we are brothers?!
This is our first meeting, who made you so enthusiastic?
He even skipped the words "Master XX", "Brother XX" and "Fellow Daoist XX" and just started calling each other brothers?!
Wang Teng even raised his eyebrows, feeling very unhappy.
What's the meaning?!
You are almost my age, and your cultivation is only at the fourth level of the third realm. How dare you call my father your brother? Then I am a generation shorter than you for no reason? !
He immediately said: "Master Lin, the seniors are all very busy. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't waste time by talking about irrelevant things!"
"Who are you?"
Lin Fan blinked.
"My son Wang Teng." Wang Yulin introduced.
Lin Fan suddenly looked strange, and murmured, "The figure of the great emperor?"
Wang Yulin and other people in Yulin Palace were very sharp-eared, and their faces changed drastically when they heard this.
How did this news leak out?!
Could it be that Lin Fan has some secret method that allows him to see through other people's true intentions at a glance? !
Noticing the change in their expressions, Lin Fan was even more surprised.
My goodness, could it be that they are not just namesakes, but also have the "Emperor's Appearance"? !
But this guy doesn't have any ideas.
Regardless of whether they have the same name or not, and regardless of whether they really have the potential to be an emperor, we cannot accept this person!
I can't come over either.
but···
Lin Fan skipped over the topic and smiled, "My dear nephew, what you said is absolutely right. As clan leaders, we are naturally very busy. Aren't we discussing important matters now?"
Wang Teng was angry and wanted to confront the person, but Wang Yulin stopped him.
After all, they are adults and should be more stable.
"Master Lin, we are already here, just tell us what you want to say."
"Hey~! Don't be so formal, we are all brothers, why call me Sect Master Lin?" Lin Fan said again: "As for what I want to say, it concerns the future of our sects and is of utmost importance!"
"These idle people..."
Lin Fan glanced at Wang Teng.
The latter was furious: "Who do you call the outsiders?!"
"Teng'er!"
Wang Yulin endured it again.
"You step back first."
Wang Teng endured it again and again, gritted his teeth and stepped back.
Lin Fan waved his hand and set up a soundproof barrier, then said: "I think we should cooperate."
"Why?"
Zhang asked further.
Wang Yulin said directly: "I'm afraid this cooperation is not equal."
The meaning is very clear. I have over three thousand disciples in Yulin Palace, and your Lanyue Sect has no more than twenty people in total. Are you worthy?
"Whether it is equal or not, let's hear it first."
Lin Fan was not in a hurry and said cheerfully, "You all must have heard of Xiao Ling'er's name?"
The six sect leaders and elders all nodded.
The matter of the Fire-Swallowing Taoist's Tomb was widely spread. Even though the most attention-grabbing thing was that Long Aotian defeated Yu Mo in seconds, Xiao Ling'er's name was also mentioned repeatedly.
In addition to the previous alchemy conference, they were so close that they naturally heard about it.
It would be too fake to say that you don't know Xiao Ling'er.
"The champion of the alchemy conference, now he is even blessed with strange fire."
"Don't you have any ideas?"
Everyone lowered their eyebrows, their minds became active, and they all guessed the deeper meaning of Lin Fan's words.
Chen Bixuan of Huanling Valley smiled and said, "Of course we have some thoughts, but we in Huanling Valley can restrain ourselves. If Sect Master Lin is just testing you, then there is no need to do so."
This is also the truth.
It's nonsense to say that I'm not tempted, but I don't dare to move!
The other five sect leaders also nodded in succession.
There is nothing wrong with this.
"It's too small, the pattern is too small!"
Lin Fan shook his head: "I'm not testing you, nor am I setting a trap for you to fall into. I'm an honest man, I speak directly, without any twists and turns."
"I mean, let's work together."
"You agree to some conditions and provide the corresponding materials. I will let Xiao Ling'er make the elixir for you and guarantee that the quality is above six grade."
"Ningyuan Pill, Xuanyuan Pill, Dongtian Pill, and even... Xuandan."
Lin Fan looked around at everyone and saw that their expressions had changed. Then he continued, "It's not a problem."
"For this, we can make a vow of Dao Heart."
hiss!
The six sect elders were secretly surprised and gasped!
Before this, when they saw the visiting card, they were all furious and extremely unhappy. They all wanted to teach Lin Fan and Lanyue Sect a lesson.
It was because of the Liu family that he came here with a pinched nose, but he had no intention of giving Lin Fan a good face.
But when he heard it this moment, his anger immediately subsided.
Angry? Angry about what?!
They looked at Lin Fan with burning eyes.
If what this guy said is true, then we are all brothers!!
The six sect leaders thought more deeply and were all secretly alert.
Wang Yulin pondered and said, "I don't know, what conditions do I need to agree to?"
"Don't worry, don't worry~!"
I guess you will be moved!
Seeing that they wanted it but were trying to restrain themselves, Lin Fan knew that this wave was a sure thing.
But it's normal because this area is really too poor.
Resources are already extremely scarce, and they are all third-rate sects. The best-performing Yulin Palace only has a small mineral vein, and all kinds of resources are extremely scarce.
Lack of resources naturally means lack of talent.
High-quality elixirs? More in short supply!
The Liu family still values him so much, let alone them?
The temptation of refining elixirs of grade six or above for them is too great.
In Lin Fan's opinion, it was just like the ancient times thousands of years ago when the First Emperor of Qin conscripted laborers to build the Great Wall and provided them with three meals of pork trotters every day, and they were also guaranteed to be full...
Even so, do we still need to worry about them rebelling or being unhappy?
joke!
However, Lin Fan cannot be careless here. They must be happy, but it is hard to say whether they will "rebel". Therefore, the Dao Heart Oath must be stuck.
Lin Fan said cheerfully: "We are all brothers, how can I harm my brothers?"
"Not that kind of person!"
"There are actually only three conditions in total."
"First, you must act as the spies of the Lanyue Sect. If there is any disturbance in the surrounding area, you must report it to us, even if it's just a powerful person passing by!"
Just think of it as an 'early warning system'.
These six sects just happened to surround the Lanyue Sect. When something happened, they would give advance warning and the Lanyue Sect could also be prepared in advance.
The people from the six sects looked at each other and could see what the other was thinking.
It's a small matter!
I can agree to that.
Lin Fan was not in a hurry and continued: "Second..."
"If our Lanyue Sect needs manpower, you have to help."
“You don’t all need to fight to the death, but when it’s your turn to take action, you must not hesitate. I will not let you deal with someone who is at a higher level than you.
Moreover, I will swear an oath that if it is a situation where death is inevitable, I will never let you get involved."
The second condition makes them fall into deep thought.
This is risky!
Everyone can understand that this is equivalent to tying themselves to the Lanyue Sect's boat and wearing the same pants. Whether they can agree to it remains to be considered.
"This is the third one~"
"To the outside world, our seven sects must announce that we have joined forces. After all, if you agree to the first two points, we will be no different from joining forces."
"As long as you agree to these three points, the others are just small matters. I don't think you will care about them."
"You can all discuss it. If you agree, we can continue the conversation."
boom.
The six sect leaders immediately started chatting with their elders.
Everyone was a little excited, but also worried.
Lin Fan watched happily and did not urge him.
The five elders looked at the nose with their eyes and the heart with their nose.
Their minds are full of question marks.
I don’t understand why Lin Fan would do this. Isn’t this just cultivating an opponent for himself?
But they tacitly chose to remain silent. Even if they couldn't agree, they would accept it first, but at least they wouldn't hold back.
But Lin Fan thought clearly.
There are three conditions. The first and second are self-evident. It is to give Lanyue Sect the entire early warning system plus a group of thugs. This group of thugs may not be able to do anything big, but with the blessing of their own elixirs, they should be able to deal with some villains.
In this way, the Lanyue Sect would not have to spend too much time on these trivial matters.
As for the third...
Lin Fan was also conducting tests.
Since they have announced the alliance and their territories are closely connected, if a top-level expert wants to take action, is it likely that they will attack all seven sects at the same time?
For example, a strong man at the seventh level of Hedao or above can affect an area thousands of miles away with one move, and can destroy all seven sects’ territories with just one slap!
If this kind of person attacks Lanyue Sect alone or attacks all seven sects at the same time, the results... should be different, right?
Luck!
This thing is illusory.
But it really exists.
Lin Fan felt that his family's luck was most likely negative.
There is no way. There is already a small crisis every year and a big crisis every ten years. Now with the addition of a few novice village destroyers, how can the luck be positive?
He doesn't believe it himself!
However, this may not be the case for other sects!
Maybe there are some geniuses who have good luck or something.
Tie them to your own boat, maybe~~~
Can you spread the luck evenly?
For example, the posture of this great emperor.
Lin Fan's eyes wandered on Wang Teng for a moment, then quietly retracted.
The latter felt Lin Fan's gaze and couldn't help but stare.
"Unfortunately, it's not the one I remember. However, since he has such talent, he must have some luck."
"If you average it out, there's always some benefit."
"Even if he is also negative, I don't believe he can be more negative than the Moon-Raising Sect~"
If quantified, the luck that Wang Teng brought to the sect would be at most minus one, while Xiao Linger's would start at minus ten!
No matter how you calculate it, it’s not a loss.
The number of people in these seven sects added together is not small, at least nearly ten thousand. If there is one with better luck, wouldn’t the benefits be even more obvious?
Of course, these are just Lin Fan’s guesses and cannot be confirmed for the time being.
But there’s nothing wrong in trying.
As for cultivating competitors, Lin Fan is not worried.
As long as the Lanyue Sect is still there, and as long as the protagonist template's disciples are not all dead, why should we be afraid of them?
Besides, do you really think you have no other restrictions?
Soon, the six sects finished their discussion, but did not give a reply. Instead, Chen Bixuan, as a representative, said, "Please ask Sect Master Lin to explain the other conditions in detail."
"I have to consider it comprehensively."
"Okay."
Lin Fan immediately recounted those 'insignificant details' one by one.
"All of you present here must swear a Dao Heart Oath and not betray the Lanyue Sect in any form."
"You cannot claim that the elixir comes from the Lanyue Sect. I don't care what you say. Whether you made it yourself, dug it out from a geologist, or even if it grew on a tree, I don't care."
"We are only refining on your behalf, but the higher the level of the pill, the lower the success rate, and pills above the sixth level are even rarer. Therefore, two materials can be exchanged for one pill, otherwise we will lose too much."
"besides···"
Lin Fan put forward conditions one by one.
These are all seemingly insignificant conditions, but when added together, they add many restrictions to them.
But they don't want to miss this opportunity!
Too poor!
High-quality pills are too expensive, and now Lin Fan is just about to put the pills in front of them, so it is natural that they can’t help but be tempted, but they are also a little hesitant, after all, there are risks involved.
As for exchanging two medicinal materials for one pill, they thought there was no problem at all.
Above the sixth rank!
How difficult is that to practice?
Not to mention twice, even if they asked their own alchemists to practice ten, twenty or even a hundred times, they might not succeed once!
Otherwise, high-quality elixirs wouldn't be so rare and so expensive!
Exchange two for one, and you’re the one who makes the profit.
The trouble is real and the risks are also right in front of them. Not to mention anything else, the matter of the Lingjian Sect is enough to make them hesitate.
But if you miss this village, you will never see this shop again.
They were secretly anxious, wondering whether they should agree or not.
Chen Bixuan, Zhang Wendao and others' spiritual consciousness collided and they communicated secretly.
"What are you doing?"
"If you agree, we and the Lanyue Sect will all be considered brother sects."
"I want to agree, but the risk is too great. I want to hear what you think."
"Isn't that the same for me?"
"Yulin Palace is the strongest, but I don't think he will agree, so let's talk about it behind his back..."
They were thinking about it.
However, they never expected that Wang Yulin, who they all thought was the least likely to agree, responded decisively: "Master Lin, our Yulin Palace is willing to cooperate!"
Chen Bixuan and the other five were all stunned, then looked at him in surprise, their faces full of confusion.
Is this a promise???
Or Yulin Palace?
Wang Yulin has his own considerations.
Yulin Palace is indeed the strongest and richest of the six sects, but it has many disciples and a lot of investment! What's more... my son Wang Teng has the potential to be an emperor!
He is gifted with extraordinary talent, and is even suspected to be the reincarnation of an ancient immortal. His cultivation advances by leaps and bounds, and his combat power is terrifyingly strong, but his consumption is also high!
Wang Yulin had long felt overwhelmed and was almost selling his own magic weapon or even his blood!
I have been troubled these days.
But today I suddenly heard the good news, how could I not agree?
risk?
Haha, there are risks indeed, but as long as there is a sufficient supply of high-quality elixirs, Wang Yulin is sure that his Haoerza can soar into the sky and defeat all enemies!
Only the weak are afraid of risks.
But my son Wang Teng is destined to forge an invincible path with risks, crises, and the hot blood of countless powerful enemies.
Afraid of running around?!
Just do it!
This wave of huge profits!
Besides, he had been looking for a wealthy dog owner to fleece the sheep for a long time, but there was no suitable one. But the Lanyue Sect was suitable!
He is not very strong, easy to manipulate, and he actively jumps out to seek cooperation...
Could anything be more suitable than this?
Lin Fan, Sect Master Lin?
The visiting card is too much, I am angry and want to beat him? !
fart!
He is my dearest relative, my brother!
Wang Yulin's eyes were fiery.
Although the elders of Yulin Palace were surprised, they did not refute it.
They were already conflicted, wanting to agree but feeling a little timid. Now that the Palace Master had made the decision, they were too lazy to hesitate any longer and started to think about it.
"After that, I should be able to get a few high-quality pills to eat, right?"
“Perhaps, we can go one step further?!”
The people from Huanling Valley and Wulei Sect were also getting restless.
The strongest person in Yulin Palace has agreed, so what reason do we have to not agree?
Although I don't know why they agreed so readily, there must be some hidden story behind it!
Perhaps it is because my level is not high enough and I cannot reach it, or it may be that I did not react in time and calculated the gains and losses incorrectly.
But... following Yulin Palace will definitely pay off!
Otherwise, not only would he not be able to eat the high-quality elixirs, but he would also be hated by the Lanyue Sect, and there would be a high probability that the Liu Family and Yulin Palace would also be involved, which was not cost-effective.
"I agree." Zhang Wendao was the second to speak.
Chen Bixuan was not to be outdone: "Most of us in Huanling Valley are weak women, so we will need your care from now on."
The remaining leaders of Ziping Cave, Xuedao Sect, and Chiyan Sect also agreed.
Lin Fan immediately smiled: "Not bad, not bad, that's how it should be."
"From now on, we are all brothers."
"Our sect is also a brother sect. We prosper together and suffer together..."
"Also, make a vow of Dao Heart. I'll go first."
This guy came over and put his arm around the shoulders of Wang Yulin, Chen Bixuan and the others.
It's not that he took advantage of Chen Bixuan, but the two of them sat next to each other~
Then, he took the lead and made a Taoist oath, clearly stating all the aspects he had just mentioned.
Seeing this, Wang Yulin, Chen Bixuan and others naturally did not hesitate and made a Taoist oath.
In this way, everyone will have a clear mind and will no longer be overly cautious, and their smiles will be more sincere.
They were arm in arm with each other, so close and intimate.
Wang Teng was so annoyed by it!
What are you doing?!
How come they are all getting together with this guy?
Doesn’t everyone come here in anger?
Am I dreaming?!
He frowned, feeling something was wrong.
But he couldn't hear what Lin Fan and the others were talking about, and Wang Yulin kept telling him not to do anything rash, which made him extremely uncomfortable at the moment.
······
Lin Fan happily invited them to stay for a few days, but they all said that they had things to do and had to go back quickly.
They are all anxious to send a batch of medicinal materials over to exchange for the pills as soon as possible!
Lin Fan expressed his understanding and therefore did not force it.
Although he had only mentioned it casually.
cough.
"Don't worry, brother!"
Wang Yulin patted his chest and said, "I will make the corresponding arrangements after I return. I will definitely do what I promised you!"
"So do we!"
"I believe that."
Lin Fan expressed his absolute trust.
Since we have made the vows to the Dao, we will naturally believe in it.
Unless they all want to give up and are ready to collapse and die suddenly, they can trick me.
Otherwise, if any elder from these six sects didn't want to do anything, they would secretly send a message to me.
After watching the 'pantomime' for a long time, it suddenly had sound.
But suddenly he heard his father calling Lin Fan his brother, and what did he promise? !
Wang Teng frowned even deeper and felt even more unhappy.
But before he could say anything, Wang Yulin and the elders dragged him down the mountain, and then rushed all the way...
The same happened to the people from the other five sects. They soon turned into streams of light and disappeared into the sky, which made Wang Teng a little unhappy.
"Dad, why are you so close to that bastard Lin Fan?"
"Could it be that he drugged me with some kind of magic potion?!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Wang Yulin frowned immediately: "Sect Master Lin is my good brother!"
Wang Teng: “???”
Are you getting senile and confused?
He moved his lips and almost blurted it out.
You call him brother? From now on, that bastard becomes my uncle, and I am a generation shorter for no reason?
“No!”
"how so?"
He wanted to get to the bottom of it.
But Wang Yulin said seriously: "Teng'er, don't meddle in this matter. Anyway, from today on, our seven sects will form an alliance!"
"From now on, your future is destined to be smooth!"
"You will understand my father's good intentions in the future."
Wang Yulin’s calculations were clear.
No matter what, we must not let resource issues slow down our progress!
But he must not be allowed to know his plan, otherwise, it might cause flaws in his Taoism. For such a peerless genius, even the slightest flaw would be extremely fatal!
So~~~
The bad guys let themselves do it.
Besides, I am not a completely bad person. The elixirs are obtained by using raw materials and paying a price.
It’s just that they don’t know that their son has the potential to be an emperor!
Thinking of this, Wang Yulin suddenly remembered that Lin Fan had actually muttered about the posture of the emperor?
Could it be...
There's a spy in the palace?!
At this moment, he had no time to comfort Wang Teng. He began to wonder who the spy was and how to find him.
Wang Teng was completely numb.
I am a generation shorter for no reason, not to mention it, why don’t you tell me why! ?
He looked at the elders.
Unexpectedly, the elders also shook their heads and were unwilling to say anything.
How can you say that?!
Although we are all from the same sect, who wouldn’t want to share a few high-quality pills?
Tell Wang Teng, he might ask for more.
······
As soon as the six sect leaders returned, they immediately started to take action.
First, they immediately issued a "joint statement" to the public, and the seven sects formed an alliance.
The next step was to arrange for special personnel to pay attention to any "slightest disturbance". Once there was any news, it would be immediately transmitted to the Lanyue Sect using the jade sound transmission talisman.
However, since they are all third-rate sects, strictly speaking their influence is limited to their own little piece of land, so news spreads very slowly.
Fortunately, the seven sects have a total of less than 10,000 people, and they are related to the Lanyue Sect, which has become quite famous recently. Therefore, the news spread slowly at first, but as time went on, it spread faster and faster...
Many forces and monks were surprised when they heard this.
"Yulin Palace, Huanling Valley...what kind of magic potion have these six sects been fed?"
"They are really courageous. The Moon-Glancing Sect is doomed to be destroyed, yet they are still forming an alliance with it. Aren't they afraid of offending the Spirit Sword Sect?"
"There must be something hidden in this!"
"You are the one who farted, who doesn't know that?"
"I have met Wang Yulin before. He is also a great man. Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong place. The fact that he was able to accept this matter proves that there must be something going on!"
"Could it be related to the Liu family? If the Liu family oppresses, Yulin Palace will not be immune, right?"
"That's not impossible..."
Everyone had their own speculations, but most forces did not pay too much attention.
Because it is destined to have nothing to do with them.
They wanted to make a move on the Lanyue Sect but they didn't dare to, after all, the Lingjian Sect had already made harsh remarks.
So, just know it.
But Yunxiao Valley paid special attention to it.
When Valley Master Yun Ruofu heard the news, his expression gradually turned cold: "Lan Yue Sect..."
"Killed my seventh brother, and killed my first disciple, and you still want to expand?"
He narrowed his eyes and his thoughts raced.
With the Lingjian Sect around, he didn't dare to take direct action against the Lanyue Sect, but the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, what's more important is the human relationships and worldly wisdom.
Just because he and Yunxiao Valley cannot take action, it doesn’t mean that no one else can take action.
"Someone come!"
"Wait for me to write a letter and send it to Haoyue Sect."
"Yes, Master."
“···”
After a moment, seeing the elder walking away, Yun Ruofu sneered.
"Although I don't know why the Haoyue Sect didn't take advantage of your illness to kill you, I think it was just to preserve their reputation. Besides, the Lanyue Sect has been getting worse and worse over the years, so there is no need for them to do anything."
"But now, you seem to be making a comeback. I guess..."
"They shouldn't just sit there and do nothing."
······
Hongwu Fairy City.
The Chen family, one of the three major families, immediately summoned many senior executives to discuss the matter after receiving the news.
"This matter must be related to the Liu family."
"Although the Lanyue Sect has the potential to revive, they alone cannot make the Yulin Palace and other six sects surrender. The Liu family must be helping them secretly."
"The Liu family's actions are clearly a manifestation of their wolfish ambitions!"
"Our three major families have been in Hongwu Immortal City for many years. Apart from the City Lord's Mansion, our three major families are the most powerful and influential. However, we are also wary of each other, forming a three-legged tripod, and no one can do anything to the other."
"Now, the Liu family's move is going to break the balance."
"The seven sects have formed an alliance, with nearly a hundred sacred mountains, nearly ten thousand disciples, and more than twenty strong men above the fifth realm. They will definitely continue to expand..."
"As this alliance grows stronger, it will become a big threat to our Chen family. They will work together with the Liu family, and over time, this three-way balance of power will no longer exist."
"Yes, this matter cannot be left unchecked."
"Contact the Jiang family. They certainly don't want to see the Liu family rise. Let's join forces with them for now!"
"However, the Moon Lan Sect has the Lingjian Sect's order not to allow outsiders to interfere, so it is difficult to resolve."
"Then let's not touch the Lanyue Sect first, but take down the Yulin Palace and other six sects. What can we do if there is only the Lanyue Sect left that is destined to be destroyed?"
"That makes sense! Destroying the Yulin Palace and the other six sects can also deter other forces, so that they know that an alliance with the Liu family is a dead end. But this matter needs to involve the Jiang family. It doesn't make sense for the Jiang family to just sit back and reap the benefits while our Chen family and the Liu family fight each other."
“···”
······
Jiang family.
The head of the family, Jiang Wuwei, looked at the visitor from the Chen family and chuckled, "You can leave for now. I will contact you after we discuss it."
The elder of the Chen family nodded and withdrew for the time being.
Jiang Wuwei laughed: "Chen Qingquan, that old fox, is exactly as we guessed. He doesn't want to do it himself and wants to drag us along."
"That's fine."
"Although there will be some conflicts, the balance among the three tribes cannot be easily broken."
"We'll tell the Chen family that we agreed later, and then we'll start preparing."
"The six sects... should all be destroyed."
It seems like a trivial matter.
As for worries, they really have nothing to worry about.
The three major families have existed for many years. Although there have been ups and downs in the process, in the end no one can destroy the other. At the same time, they all want to destroy the other two and dominate alone.
Join forces with one of them?
They didn't dare to join forces unless they were absolutely sure that they could destroy the third family and then kill the remaining one.
after all···
Triangles have stability.
Ah, it should be said that the three pillars are in a tripod and are intertwined, which is more "peaceful".
We dare not destroy the Lan Yue Sect, but what about the Six Sects...?
But we can't be too careless, after all, the Liu family will definitely be on guard.
After a pause, Jiang Wuwei said, "Tell the Chen family not to be impatient. We should both work hard to find out what arrangements the Liu family has made, and then take targeted actions."
"If I don't make a move, it's fine. But once I make a move, I will destroy the six sects with ease, and it would be best if I can cut off the Liu family's arm~!"
"Yes, Patriarch."
······
"Brother Lin."
"Brother Lin, please install the Yuanshi. Brother Lin, I have something urgent to discuss with you."
"Brother Lin~"
Liu Xun is 'knocking on the door'.
When they got the news and heard the rumors outside that the "Liu family was helping", they were not so "confused". Instead, they realized in an instant that the Lanyue Sect had won over the Yulin Palace and other six major sects with elixirs.
But this does not mean that they can ignore it. On the contrary, they are very worried.
Lin Fan didn't avoid it.
He slowly put the Yuanshi of the teleportation array back, and soon Liu Xun came in a hurry.
"Brother Lin, what are you doing?"
He smiled bitterly.
At the same time, I also feel some regret.
The intelligence about the surrounding forces was just delivered to me yesterday. Are you going to form an alliance with them today, or use the elixir as bait?
No matter how you look at it, I'm losing money!
Lin Fan said cheerfully, "Brother Liu, don't worry. Your Liu family will not be short of any pills, and we will still give priority to their supply. After all, I have also made a Dao Heart Oath, and I will definitely not go back on my word."
“Not that I’m worried about that.”
Liu Xun smiled bitterly: "We in the Liu family can understand Brother Lin's actions. As the old saying goes, more friends mean more paths. It is always better to have many friends than to have enemies all over the world."
"However, this move seems a little inappropriate to our Liu family."
"It is very likely that this will make the Chen and Jiang families uneasy and cause them to take action."
"They may not dare to attack the Lanyue Sect, but I'm afraid that the Yulin Palace, Huanling Valley and the other six sects may..."
After a pause, Liu Xun lowered his voice and said, "We in the Liu family are not worried about the life and death of the six sects. We are just worried that the pills you sent out will be wasted."
“It’s not worth it.”
"They are all inferior products. They are not a problem."
Lin Fan said it was okay.
In fact, he wasn't worried at all.
There is nothing wrong with what Liu Xun said, but the Six Sects themselves are also aware of the risks. Since they are willing to agree, they are ready to take the risks.
Besides, the reason I approached them was to "share the risk".
Let's take a step back and say, if they really were gone...
cough.
Perhaps, the Lanyue Sect can still pick up a few sacred mountains?
But this cannot be said.
Lin Fan didn't mean to kill them, he could only say that this was one of the possible outcomes.
In other words...
No matter what, the Lanyue Sect will not lose out.
Liu Xun still felt that it was not worth it. After much deliberation, he finally decided to ask Liu Erye to take charge so that if there was any disturbance in the alliance, he could arrive and provide support as soon as possible.
······
A few days later.
"father."
Wang Teng ended his training and looked at Wang Yulin in front of him with a still unhappy expression.
Not convinced!
Why should I let myself be a generation shorter?
"Teng'er, happy event."
Wang Yulin smiled and said, "Today, I was out looking for opportunities, and I was extremely lucky. I actually found a jade bottle with high-quality elixirs in it, which are just right for you."
"Take it quickly and improve your strength."
Wang Teng was delighted and immediately took it. He poured out one and looked at the 'halo' on it that represented the quality. He couldn't help but hold his head high and said proudly, "It is indeed a good thing!"
"With the help of this elixir, my child is one step closer to ruling the world!"
"Of course, take it quickly and let your father protect you."
Wang Yulin is looking forward to it.
He has always hoped that his son would become a successful person. Now that his son has the potential to be a real dragon, he naturally has to train him well.
······
In Lanyue Palace, Lin Fan collected the Hundred Forging Divine Fire and smiled.
"These six sects do have some background, at least they have some materials."
To give the elixirs to the six sects, Lin Fan did not ask Xiao Ling'er to come, but did it himself.
Although he doesn't have an alchemy furnace, he has a strange fire, and can use the strange fire as a furnace to refine the elixir. And after sharing Xiao Ling'er's strength, refining the elixir is just a piece of cake for him.
Even Lin Fan had to restrain himself a little to be able to refine a sixth-grade pill, otherwise, it would basically be a seventh, eighth, or even ninth grade pill.
This kind of good thing should not be given to them for the time being~
Sixth grade is enough!
The elixirs they exchanged were basically Xuanyuan Dan, Dongtian Dan and Zhixuan Dan.
There are not many Xuandan pills, and the medicinal materials of the six sects only add up to sixteen portions.
There are quite a few Dongtian Pills, more than a hundred in total.
There are nearly four hundred Xuanyuan Pills.
As for the Condensation Pill...
Sorry, for this kind of ordinary, or in other words, lower-middle third-rate sect, the second Condensation Realm cultivators are not qualified to take drugs. Either they refine some medicinal powder that is beneficial to cultivation, or they are given a few Yuan Stones to slowly absorb by themselves~
Lin Fan only used two portions of Zhixuan Dan materials, five portions of Dongtian Dan materials, and more than forty portions of Xuanyuan Dan materials to successfully refine all the pills they needed.
The rest is pure profit.
"Xiao Ling'er's alchemy skills are really amazing. Or rather, the old man in her necklace is really awesome."
These pills are the most common cultivation pills, and Lin Fan has a lot of experience in refining them. Therefore, after sharing his strength, he is very familiar with refining them, and basically no one will fail. The success rate is terrifyingly high!
Plus, one furnace can produce at least four or five pills, and at most eight or nine pills~
Looking at the many medicinal herbs he earned, Lin Fan's smile gradually became brighter.
“That’s called making money.”
These materials are all good things whether you refine them yourself or give them to Xiao Ling'er in the future.
Even if it's for money?!
"Speaking of which, I should also prepare for a breakthrough to the fourth realm."
With the blessing of Xiao Ling'er and Fan Jianqiang's talents, plus his own insignificant talent, Lin Fan's leveling speed was extremely fast.
Now, his own realm has already broken through to the ninth level of the third Xuanyuan realm.
Although I haven't reached my peak yet, if I take more drugs, I won't be too far away.
"In the world of fantasy and cultivation, strength is always the first factor and the most important thing."
"With six of them standing guard outside, acting as 'human early warning devices', I can feel a little more at ease. However, I have to read the fortune every day."
Lin Fan decided to learn from Fan Jianqiang.
Use the Great Derivations of Heaven and Earth to calculate a hexagram every day.
The goal is the 'crisis' six months later!
Soon, Lin Fan began to operate.
The Great Evolution Technique of Heaven and Earth was activated, but soon, Lin Fan was surprised!
"this???"
"Isn't it too big?"
He clicked his tongue, speechless.
The essence of the Great Derivations of Heaven and Earth can actually be seen as 'insight into cause and effect'. Therefore, when fortune-telling, one needs to break cause and effect and bear the consequences!
Its manifestation is that when divination is performed, a ball of golden cause and effect will appear in the sea of consciousness.
Break it and you will get the result and see the hexagram.
The smaller the cause and effect of the thing being predicted, the smaller the cause and effect will be, and the easier it will be to break it, and bearing the cause and effect will be a natural thing.
On the contrary, if the cause and effect is too big, the causal cluster will also become larger. It will be extremely difficult to break it, and the consequences of the cause and effect will become more serious.
But at this moment...
The causal group in Lin Fan’s sea of consciousness is terrifyingly large!!!
Rather than calling it a ball, it is better to call it a planet, a brilliant sun!!!
Compared with him, Lin Fan was like a tiny ant.
One can even feel the horrific cause and effect crushing down on one, as if one's whole body will be shattered in the next second.
Is this something I can fucking break or endure?!
Why would I want to calculate such a thing!
Lin Fan was numb.
How can this hold up?
Before, calculating the tomb of the fire-swallowing Taoist priest was a piece of cake...
But this time, let alone getting the result, just taking a look at it almost cost him his life? !
Damn it!
Lin Fan quickly ended the deduction and withdrew his consciousness from the sea of consciousness.
Even so, his vest was soaked and he couldn't help but breathe heavily.
"What the hell is this, so amazing?!"
Lin Fan was surprised and fell into deep thought.
"Is it because the crisis is too terrifying, and the cause and effect it carries are so shocking, or...Is it because I can't 'spoil' the crisis and can't touch this rule, so it's so terrifying?!"
Lin Fan couldn't know the exact result, but he knew that this thing didn't count.
If I had been a second late, I would have been completely lost in my own sea of consciousness and turned into a walking corpse.
Scared!
"Well, forget it. Can I just not count this thing?"
"Screw it, practice!"
······
The next day.
Lin Fan went to the Sutra Library and sorted out the skills and secret techniques sent by the Liu family.
I wanted to talk to Fan Jianqiang, but I didn't know where this "stable" guy had gone. I didn't look for him, but went back to Lanyue Palace and started practicing with all my strength, striving to break through the fourth level as soon as possible.
At the same time, Xiao Ling'er practiced hard under the guidance of Liang Danxia.
The three elders, Li Changshou, Chen Erzhu, and Duan Qingyao, have also been in seclusion and have not gone out to hunt in the wild.
There is no need for them to play jungle for the time being.
The medicinal materials were sent by the Liu family and the six sects, so there is no shortage of Yuanshi for the time being.
There was no harassment from foreign enemies.
There is also an ample supply of high-quality elixirs, and the Lanyue Sect's spiritual energy is now far superior to before. This kind of training environment was something they could not even imagine in the past.
Because of this, they especially cherish this rare time...
I am practicing and breaking through almost at the risk of my life!
And with such hard practice, progress is exceptionally fast.
January has passed.
The three elders entered the fifth realm one after another!
At this point, of the five elders of Lanyue Sect, except for the second elder Wu Xingyun who was unable to make further progress due to injury to his origin, the other four elders have already entered the fifth finger mystery realm, and their strength has skyrocketed!
On this day, almost all five elders were in tears.
They had a small gathering, and the Great Elder Su Xinghai personally poured wine for them. He looked extremely emotional and said, "They have all made a breakthrough, so the Second Elder is not without hope either."
“I didn’t expect that.”
He smiled bitterly: "We didn't want to take the blame, but we never thought that the leader who was pushed out by us and forced to take the lead would be so capable!"
“Yes.” Li Changshou sighed, “It’s all thanks to the Sect Master. I thought that reaching the ninth level of the Fourth Cave Heaven Realm in this lifetime was the limit, but I never thought that I could go further!”
Chen Erzhu didn't say much, but his excitement and emotion were evident in his words.
Duan Qingyao pursed her red lips and said, "I had already given up and was waiting for the last moment to come. But now, I see hope again, and... In my life, there has never been a moment when I have been so eager for the future of Lanyue Sect."
"We have been lost for tens of thousands of years. We finally see an opportunity. We must seize it!"
"Yes, no matter what, we must seize this opportunity, even if it means risking our lives."
Wu Xingyun smiled and said, "If you want to fight to the death, let me do it."
"It's not just you."
Su Xinghai retorted: "Even if all of us old guys are dead, as long as the Sect Master is still here, as long as Xiao Ling'er and the others are still here, there is still hope for the Lanyue Sect!"
“There’s no need to be so pessimistic.”
Wu Xingyun drank the spirit wine and said, "The sect master is more capable than we thought. You should seize this rare opportunity and break through and become stronger as soon as possible."
"We all know that our talents are more than this. We were stuck at the fourth level because of the environment and resources."
"Now that the conditions are improving rapidly, I hope that we can all enter the sixth realm, or even the seventh realm in the future!"
"Only in this way can we further clear the obstacles for the sect's rise."
"Even the seventh realm may not be enough, but our talents may not support us to touch that higher realm."
At this point, Wu Xingyun smiled helplessly and said, "After all, our opponents are not simple."
"At present, there is the second-rate sect Yunxiao Valley, the first-rate sect Lingjian Sect Jianzi, and the Haoyue Sect..."
The hearts of elders such as Su Xinghai suddenly sank.
······
"breakthrough."
"Fourth Cave Heaven Realm, first level."
Feeling the growth of his cultivation, Lin Fan smiled.
Boom!
Inside the body, it was as if a mysterious cave was vibrating, and all the internal organs were resonating with it! Constantly absorbing vital energy, transforming spirit and strength.
Flesh body cave!
The source of power in the Cave Heaven Realm, the root of strength.
Crack!
Lin Fan clenched his fist, and it seemed as if even the air was exploding.
“Although it’s only one step away, the gap is really huge.”
"Sure enough, the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to fight. The higher the realm, the more so."
“The gap is too big.”
Lin Fan felt a little emotional.
He was certain that if his current self were to fight his pre-breakthrough self, he could easily win even if it was one against three. If it was a round-robin battle, even one against ten would be no problem.
"Sharing combat power!"
Next, he tried to share combat power.
Buzz~!
His realm soared instantly, and it did not slowly subside until the seventh level of the fourth cave heaven realm.
"Xiao Ling'er has also made a breakthrough."
"Fan Jianqiang, the third level of the Cave Heaven Realm..."
"good!"
"Besides, Tianjiao is different from others."
While Lin Fan was pleasantly surprised, he also noticed a problem.
Two first levels of the fourth realm and one third level, adding up to the seventh level?
This is obviously wrong.
Logically speaking, the fifth level is already difficult enough, so how could it become the seventh level?
But after thinking about it, Lin Fan understood.
The realm of a genius is naturally different from that of an ordinary cultivator.
The realm you reach after sharing the combat power is that of an 'ordinary cultivator'.
But the two protagonist templates, Xiao Ling'er and Fan Jianqiang, belong to their own realm!
It seems that Xiao Linger has only the first level of the fourth realm, but if we really compare them horizontally, Lin Fan estimates that the energy contained in her physical body is more amazing than that of an ordinary cultivator at the third level of the physical realm!
Fan Jianqiang estimated that he was at the fifth level of an ordinary fourth-level cultivator.
Plus my own cultivation, more than the seventh level, close to the eighth level, it makes sense~
Next, no matter who among the three breaks through a small realm, after Lin Fan shares it, they will all have the eighth level of the fourth realm, and their combat power will be improved again.
"Although this is worth celebrating, doesn't this indirectly show how high my own cultivation and realm are?"
Lin Fan smiled helplessly.
There's nothing I can do.
After all, my own talent is just like that...
Besides, does it mean it’s a cheat if it’s turned on?
What's the difference between being unable to hang up and being a fool?
"Next..."
"Continue to practice and wait for the crisis to come. I want to see what kind of crisis it is."
"But before that, I need to go out for a while."
This guy was going to sneak out and find some safe places to bury a hair or a piece of skin.
in case.
In this way, even if the crisis is too terrifying and the Lanyue Sect cannot resist and is instantly killed, he can still rely on the Nirvana Sutra to resurrect.
It’s better to lose a resurrection coin than to die.
In the end, Lin Fan ran to dozens of places, all of which were quite far apart.
More than ten hairs.
Nearly twenty skin fragments.
After doing all this, this guy returned to the sect and continued his cultivation.
"If they can all be killed in one breath, then I have nothing to say."
They are already so 'stable', if they can't even be resurrected, then what level of strong person will be needed to take action?
If that's the case, there's no need to struggle.
It has to be done anyway.
Might as well enjoy it during this last period of time.
······
Time passes.
Three months passed quietly.
During this period of time, the Lanyue Sect has been extremely peaceful.
The Yulin Palace and other six sects tried their best to search for medicinal materials everywhere. They invested a lot, but their strength was also improving.
At the same time, they also sent over some information, which were all minor matters and had basically nothing to do with the Lanyue Sect.
The Liu family is focusing on development!
With the support of many high-quality elixirs, there has been a significant improvement over the past six months.
But they have never 'revealed' themselves, but instead have hidden themselves deeper and deeper.
After nearly four months of investigation, the Chen family and the Jiang family finally determined the strength of the six sects and the personnel sent by the Liu family through their own means.
On this day, people from the two families conspired.
"The Liu family is really generous."
"No wonder we have been investigating for so long. We thought they would send one or two elders to take charge, but we never thought it would be this Mr. Liu!"
"With him in charge, it won't be easy to destroy the six sects."
"indeed."
"We can only ask an ancestor-level figure to take action to ensure that there will be no mistakes."
"Not even one is enough."
"Then one person per family!"
"That's fine, but our Chen family's ancestors are currently in seclusion, so it will take some time."
"How long will it take?"
"At the fastest, it may take ten days or half a month; at the slowest, it may take two months..."
"Then we'll tentatively start in two months!"
"good."
······
The core area of the Southwestern Region is home to many first-class sects and the only holy land in the Southwestern Region - the Wanhua Holy Land.
The territory is vast and full of spiritual energy. At a glance, there are countless fairy mountains and peaks, and all kinds of auspicious signs are everywhere.
Outside this area, this is the territory where second-rate sects and forces often occupy.
The outermost layer is composed of third-rate and inferior forces.
But there are exceptions.
For example, the Liu family has the strength of a second-rate force.
But the conditions in Hongwu Fairy City were not bad either, so they did not move there.
At this moment, there is a bright moon in the sky.
In the Haoyue Sect, a supreme elder came out of retreat and looked at the letter sent from Yunxiao Valley with great curiosity.
"Cloud Valley?"
The accompanying boy hurriedly said: "Ancestor, Yunxiao Valley is a newly promoted second-rate force, and it is at the bottom of the second-rate forces. Its leader Yun Ruofu has reached the ninth level of the sixth realm, and has no connection with our Haoyue Sect."
"oh?"
"The ninth level of the sixth realm is pretty good."
The Supreme Elder, with white hair and beard, opened the letter and frowned slightly: "Is there any sign of a revival of the Lanyue Sect?"
"Spiritual Sword Sect?"
"Oh."
"If Yun goes, he will be killed."
"The sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect fought each other over a disagreement. Although our Haoyue Sect is not afraid of them, there is no need to make enemies with them just for an old enemy from more than ten thousand years ago."
"Besides, this old enemy has long been like a candle in the wind, which can be extinguished at any time. If I wanted to extinguish him, why would I wait until now?"
"Let the Spirit Sword Sect destroy it, and save us from having to take action, isn't that great?"
The boy smiled and said, "What the ancestor said is absolutely right."
"Then just ignore Yunxiao Valley."
But in my heart, I began to have doubts.
It sounds as if it can be destroyed with ease.
But is it really that simple?
That person...
But someone knocked on the door.
Don't you want to destroy it?
It’s obvious that he doesn’t dare!
However, he could only repeat these words in his heart and did not dare to reveal even a word.
"That doesn't have to be the case."
The Grand Elder hesitated for a moment and said, "Please write a letter to let us know that we have learned about this. Also, tell them that if they have any good talents in the future, they can send them to the Haoyue Sect."
"Our sect values talents the most. The more talented the person is, the more generous the reward will be. We can even help him reach a higher level."
"Although you are only a boy, you represent the reputation of our Haoyue Sect. You must learn how to behave in society."
“Although Yunxiao Valley is just a sparrow in the palm of your hand and is not a big deal, perhaps it can bring some surprises.”
"What is the most important thing in Xianwu Continent today?"
"Gorgeous, talented!"
"The golden age has arrived, and the geniuses of each race have emerged. The chaos is about to begin..."
He sighed softly: "This is the most brilliant era, but also the darkest era. It is the Great Purge, but also the time of forging gold."
"The future will eventually belong to the new generation of geniuses. Only if we can attract more geniuses can our Haoyue Sect survive forever."
"Don't forget that the Lanyue Sect, which once suppressed us, was too arrogant and neglected to promote talents, which led to a lack of successors. It was then oppressed by all parties and eventually almost destroyed its Taoism."
"We must not follow in their footsteps."
"Yes, ancestor."
The boy's heart trembled.
The golden age begins again?
hiss!
His scalp felt tingling.
The Golden Age appears only once in who knows how many tens of thousands of years. Every time it appears, geniuses emerge in large numbers and heroes compete with each other!
In normal times, the peerless geniuses who are rarely seen in a thousand years, in the Golden Age, emerge one after another like dumplings, showing their peerless style.
No one knows who the winner is until the last moment.
To be a contemporary of these geniuses and to live in the golden age is both a blessing and a sorrow.
Fortunately, I was able to witness this brilliant era and see countless geniuses competing with each other.
sorrow···
Ordinary monks can only watch helplessly and are not even qualified to be cannon fodder or background board.
This is the era of genius!
“No wonder…”
He murmured in a low voice.
"What's the wonder?"
"Ancestor."
The boy said quickly, "I heard that the Long family in Baidi City has produced a peerless genius, who killed the third son of the Feather Clan with one punch a few days ago."
"You have to get used to it gradually. After all, this is the Golden Age."
The supreme elder appeared calm, but in fact he was secretly surprised.
hiss!
Didn’t the Sect Master say that the golden age is coming?
Why do I feel like it has already begun?
No, I have to be a little timid.
In times like these, even us old guys aren't necessarily safe.
"You remember what I just said, right? I'll leave this matter to you. I've realized something and will continue my retreat."
He slipped away.
Although he was strong enough and had lived long enough, it was also because of this that he knew very well how terrifying the geniuses of the Golden Age were.
This kind of existence is so fucking unreasonable!
When you meet a 'true genius', not only is he hard to kill, but he also becomes stronger the more you fight him.
If I don't kill him this year, he might kill me instantly in two years.
Not to mention himself, even the geniuses of the previous generation would fail many times and be beaten to death on the beach by the waves behind.
hide!
Never leave the country unless it is absolutely necessary.
······
Lingjian Sect, within the first secret realm.
Tear!
The sword energy spread over three hundred miles, and Wen Jian came out of seclusion with a greatly changed aura.
Chant!
Ten thousand swords around were trembling, making sword chanting sounds, as if they were paying homage to the king.
"He's out!"
The two guardians who were guarding the place immediately looked delighted.
"As expected of a Sword Spirit Saint Body, as soon as he was activated, thousands of swords submitted to him and paid him homage. Has he even comprehended the sword intent?!"
"My cultivation has also broken through. I have reached the peak of the third realm, and am only one step away from the fourth realm."
Looking at Wen Jian, who stood tall and straight, wrapped in sword energy, the two were overjoyed.
"If you take one more step, you can become our sect's Sword Master! The Sword Master position has been vacant for hundreds of years, and someone will finally inherit it."
"However, after he succeeds to the throne, he will face many challenges."
"Why should we be afraid? We sword cultivators should not be afraid of challenging the wind and rain."
"Huh? What?!"
"He... is actually going to break through just like that?!"
The two were communicating when they suddenly discovered that Wen Jian, after activating the Sword Spirit Holy Body and coming out of seclusion, actually sat down cross-legged without saying a word and entered a state of cultivation.
The fourth cave realm is already within reach!
"good."
"Great kindness!"
The two were even more surprised...
Three days later, Wen Jian broke through the fourth realm and became a cultivator in the Cave Heaven Realm.
On the same day, the leader of Lingjian Sect issued an order that resounded throughout the sect, appointing Wen Jian as the contemporary Sword Master.
As soon as the news came out, many of the Lingjian Sect's contemporary talented disciples were dissatisfied.
Afterwards, a "fight" broke out within the Lingjian Sect.
Many contemporary talented disciples challenge Wen Jian!
Even if a senior brother entered the sect a hundred years earlier than him, as long as he has suppressed his realm, he can challenge Wen Jian on stage and have a fair fight with him.
Of course, it is fair, but in reality it is only fair on the surface.
After all, they have been learning for so many years, and their vision and experience are far beyond Wen Jian, and they have also learned kendo and sword techniques for a longer time.
But the leaders of the Lingjian Sect didn't care and just let Wen Jian handle it on his own.
As a swordsman, he is recognized by them as the most talented person of the time and is among the peerless geniuses. However, if he does not even dare to accept internal challenges and cannot defeat those at the same level, how can he convince others?
However, they still allowed Wen Jian to take it step by step and accept a challenge every three days.
The strength of a sword cultivator is never developed behind closed doors, but is instead achieved with the sword in his hand!
When Wen Jian found out, he smiled confidently.
"Haha, no problem, just come one by one!"
He actually didn't plan to stop, and would do it every three days? Continuously, until there was no opponent left!
"Think twice, Jianzi!"
The two bodyguards were surprised and hurried to persuade them.
But it's useless.
Then the challenge began.
Many of the talented disciples of the Lingjian Sect at this time are holding back their energy, and although they have sealed their cultivation and suppressed their realm, they are still using all their strength in their current realm without holding back.
But the result surprised almost everyone.
After nearly half a month of fighting, Jianzi won a great victory!
Among the contemporary disciples, he is invincible at the same level!
He defeated all the contemporary disciples until no one dared to question him anymore, and he asserted himself as the master, firmly sitting on the position of Sword Master.
Afterwards, he was so excited that he couldn't help but think of his mentor, so he asked if there was any news from the Eight Swords Sect. Then, he learned that the Eight Swords Sect had been destroyed.
“···”
"The Eight Sword Sect is destroyed?"
"No one is spared, my mentor..."
Wen Jian was extremely sad, and then he learned that the murderer had not been identified yet and was waiting for him to track him down, and that the Lan Yue Sect was also waiting for him to "defeat" him, and he was instantly motivated.
"I'll be stable for a while!"
He took a deep breath and said, "I have benefited a lot from the half-month battle."
"After I come out of seclusion and defeat Xiao Ling'er, the Lan Yue Sect... will be destroyed."
“···”
······
In Yunxiao Valley.
Yun Ruofu was shocked when he received the news from Haoyue Sect and quickly opened it to take a closer look.
“We already know about the Lanyue Sect’s affairs, so you in Yunxiao Valley don’t have to worry about it.
But if there is a natural talent in the future, you can send him to the Haoyue Sect, and it will be a great achievement!"
“···”
With just two short sentences, Yun Ruofu was filled with anger.
"How can this be possible!"
"The dignified Haoyue Sect, a first-class sect with hundreds of thousands of years of history, is considered top among the first-class sects. How could they allow the Lanyue Sect to revive?"
"Are you afraid of the Spirit Sword Sect?!"
“Damn it!”
He cursed.
Damn it, you still want a genius?
I won’t give it to you even if I have it!
Bastard stuff.
If I can defeat you, I'll show you what I mean by "I don't eat beef".
"Lan Yue Sect..."
“Sooner or later there will be a chance!”
······
"Almost there is still half a month left."
Lin Fan calculated the days and found that there was still half a month left before the annual crisis would come.
"It's like a birthday party. That's ridiculous."
"It's better not to have this kind of 'birthday gift'."
During this period of time, the Lanyue Sect has been quite peaceful.
Everyone is concentrating on practicing, and their strength has improved significantly!
However, as everyone's realm is getting higher and higher, the upgrade speed is getting slower and slower. Fortunately, the improvement in combat power is very obvious. Although the realm has improved a bit slowly, it has never stopped.
At the same time, Lin Fan was also paying close attention to news from various places...
He also wanted to take the initiative.
But there is no way. This thing cannot be calculated at all. We don’t know where the crisis comes from or where it originates. We can only make all the preparations we can and respond to all changes with the same attitude.
It's very passive.
Fortunately, seeing that everyone's strength was getting stronger, Lin Fan was not as worried as before.
"In just one year, the strength of the Lanyue Sect has increased by more than dozens of times?"
"In terms of combat power, it's probably more than a hundred times stronger."
"This kind of operation, even in a game, is already considered remarkable, right? It must be top-notch at some point. If you can't even get through this first small crisis, that would be really outrageous."
After thinking it over, he felt that the only variables should be the two protagonist templates, Xiao Linger and Fan Jianqiang.
After all, he has the title of Novice Village Destroyer...
But it can’t be such a coincidence that it coincides with the annual crisis?
While thinking, Liu Xun contacted Lin Fan.
"Brother Lin, there has been something wrong with the Chen and Jiang families in recent days. We have discovered that there have been unusual personnel movements. Moreover, they have invited our Liu family's strong men to explore a secret realm together in half a month."
"After discussion, our Liu family elders determined that this move was not a trap set for our Liu family. Instead, it seemed like..."
Lin Fan's heart moved.
The crisis is coming?!
"Against us?"
"That may not be the case. After all, the two families dare not go against the wishes of the Spirit Sword Sect. But when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy. They must have some ulterior motive. It is better to be careful."
Liu Xun was a little worried: "Why don't you hide in the city first?"
After a brief thought, Lin Fan refused.
It seems safe inside Hongwu Immortal City, and they say that no action is allowed, but that only applies to ordinary cultivators.
Rules can never restrain the strong.
Running to Hongwu Immortal City may lead to an 'escalation' of the crisis, which will be even more dangerous. By then, it will be difficult to even run away!
After all, those who dare to cause trouble and take action in Hongwu Immortal City are definitely not weak!
It is also possible that Xiao Ling'er and the Strange Fire were targeted by someone, who framed her with a false crime and arrested her... then she would have no way to escape.
And with the charges against him, even the Spirit Sword Sect would be unable to say anything.
Therefore, at this critical juncture, we cannot go to Hongwu Fairy City.
"That's fine."
"But with the Second Master on your side, you just need to be careful and nothing serious should happen. It's not that our Liu family is unwilling to send more experts here, but the secret realm that the Chen family brought out this time is too attractive..."
"understand."
"Completely understand."
After chatting for a while, Liu Xun had something to do.
Lin Fan was in deep thought.
"The Chen family or the Jiang family?"
"Could the crisis come from these two families?"
"But their masters want to enter the secret realm. If it is really them, it will take a lot of manpower just to hold back the Liu family masters, but the rest..."
"We have to hold on even if we can't!"
I have no way out.
Time passes.
The day when Lin Fan will travel through time for a year is getting closer.
The Lanyue Sect, on the contrary, became increasingly peaceful.
Even within the Yulin Palace and other six sects, everything was calm.
Moreover, they were also working hard to develop their business, selling almost all their assets, and then purchasing various medicinal materials in exchange for pills.
The improvement in strength is also quite considerable!
Although they are a little poorer, after their strength has improved, they can do more things, have more ways to make money, and their efficiency will also be improved. Therefore, they don’t think there is any problem with this at all.
I just regret that my family has too little foundation, otherwise~~~
Wang Yulin was even wondering whether he should sell his life-saving magic weapon first to provide funding for his eldest son's cultivation?
Suddenly, this day has finally arrived.
At dawn.
Wang Yulin was practicing, but suddenly he felt extremely upset and couldn't calm down. This feeling made him extremely uneasy.
"How could this be?!"
"I have never felt this way in so many years. Could it be!!!"
He immediately spread his spiritual sense to every part of the mountain gate, but could not detect any problems. Not only did this fail to alleviate his uneasiness, but it made him even more uneasy.
"No, that's wrong!"
Those who practice Taoism go against the will of heaven, and their main concern is to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
When one reaches a certain level of spiritual practice, one’s spiritual perception becomes sharp and one can sense danger.
This is very bad!
"not good!"
He immediately took out the jade sound transmission talisman and contacted the other six leaders of the alliance at the same time.
"Everyone, something is wrong. I suddenly had an idea and felt that a disaster was coming. Please come to support us as soon as possible!"
However, the answer he got made his face change suddenly.
Chen Bixuan: "What? Palace Master, you actually feel the same way?"
Zhang asked: "Also? Could it be that you all?!"
Immediately afterwards, the leaders of Ziping Cave, Xuedao Sect, and Chiyan Sect successively expressed that they also felt the same and anticipated the disaster to come.
"!!!"
"So, it's targeting our entire alliance." Wang Yulin's face changed: "Damn it."
"It's really a disaster."
He didn't have time to think about it, and immediately used his spiritual sense to inform Wang Teng, asking him to escape quickly.
"escape?!"
Wang Teng frowned: "Why are you running away?"
"Great evil?"
"Don't worry, Dad. All dangers will be overcome in front of me!"
"Um?!"
"Someone broke into the mountain!"
Boom!
Before they could come to an end of the argument, a terrifying roar suddenly sounded, and the protective formation of the sect was instantly shattered. A powerful aura swept over, causing many Yulin Palace disciples to faint in an instant. Even the elders of the fourth realm felt tremendous pressure and found it difficult to move.
Only cultivators above the fifth realm can move freely, but they are also restricted by the pressure and can only exert 70% to 80% of their full combat power.
"not good!"
“Go!”
Wang Yulin was surprised and appeared in the sky in a flash.
Swish, swish, swish.
Figures flashed one after another, and all the fifth-level elders of Yulin Palace appeared, looking up at the sky with solemn expressions.
"oh?"
"There are seven fifth-level cultivators in Yulin Palace? This is inconsistent with the intelligence. It seems that the intelligence department should be punished."
"but."
"The results won't change."
"Destroy."
Above the sky, a man in golden armor appeared, chuckled, and then slammed out with a palm.
boom!!!
The sky was filled with golden light, and the huge palm print was still clearly visible even from hundreds of miles away. In an instant, countless people held their breath.
"Sixth level!"
The heads of the Yulin Palace gnashed their teeth. Three of them broke through by using the elixirs they had bought with their old fortunes. They thought that after entering the fifth realm, they would have a bright future ahead of them. However, they never imagined that this was just the beginning and they were already facing death.
"Walk!!!"
Wang Yulin roared, summoned his own magical weapon, and fought with all his might.
Wang Teng's eyes instantly turned red: "Dad!!!"
at the same time···
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
Extremely terrifying attacks broke out from the direction of Huanling Valley, Wulei Sect, Ziping Cave, Blood Knife Sect, and Red Flame Sect, and they were all launched by powerful warriors in the sixth realm.
For a third-rate sect, especially one like them that is in the middle and lower third-rate, it is already a fatal situation.
Lanyue Sect, the main peak.
Lin Fan and others gathered together, and everyone's expression was extremely solemn.
The scene around was too horrific.
It's like a divine punishment!
It was as if there was a god in the sky, angry and ready to destroy everything.
but···
The Lanyue Sect was not within the attack range.
Swish.
Master Liu appeared, his eyes were cold and he said, "They are from the Chen and Jiang families. So, their target is these six sects?"
"This is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and to shock the tiger."
In just a moment, he understood what the Chen and Jiang families were thinking, and secretly thought it was a wrong move.
Different ideas!
The Liu family knew that this alliance had nothing to do with them and was created by Lin Fan.
So I didn't think about it that way.
But these two families didn't know this. They still thought it was their own work and that they were taking some action again.
Although they don't know what they are going to do, they just want to cause trouble!
That's why I took action.
Unprepared, a little tricky.
He spoke very quickly: "The distance is too far, and we are attacking at the same time. I can only protect one sect at most. Sect Master Lin, which sect do you want to protect?"
The words haven't finished yet.
Buzz...
The protective formation of the Six Sects that had been broken suddenly reappeared, and it was even more powerful!
"Huh?! You actually have a back-up plan?"
Master Liu was surprised.
Then, the six terrifying attacks hit the formation.
The formation was broken, but the terrifying attack was also offset.
For a while...
The Six Sects, the Chen and Jiang Sects, and even most of the people in the Lan Yue Sect were a little confused.
Lin Fan was not surprised at all.
He talked to Fan Jianqiang.
This stuff is very stable, but very 'rich'.
The reason why he didn't take resources from the sect was not because he was afraid of being contaminated by karma, but because he didn't need it...
Even, there is some to spare!
These formations were created by Fan Jianqiang.
This guy also had a very convincing reason for setting up the formation for them.
If there is any danger, if they wait a little longer, they will have more time to escape.
Just like when being chased by a tiger, you don't necessarily need to run faster than the tiger, as long as you run faster than your companion. And if your companion can hold on a little longer, then you will naturally be more stable.
So, these formations were set up.
However, even Fan Jianqiang himself did not expect that it would come in handy so soon.
"hiss!!!"
"Master, elders, shall we escape?"
This guy immediately asked for oil on his feet.
But at this moment, no one paid any attention to him.
"With this blockade and plenty of time, I can secure four of them."
Buzz!
Master Liu flew into the air, and mysterious waves gathered at his fingertips. He even borrowed the power of heaven and earth, and then pierced through the sky and attacked three of the sixth-level powerhouses.
"Liu Er, you are so brave!"
"One against three, are we afraid of you?"
"Then kill you first!"
The fifth level of the Mysterious Finger Realm is already able to comprehend the Dao and gather all mysteries at the fingertips. The sixth level of the Fate Knowing Realm is able to know the destiny. To put it bluntly, it means that one can borrow the power of heaven and earth to fight!
The four sixth-level strong men attacked from a distance, and the sky and earth changed color in an instant. Terrifying waves continued to sweep, and there was even thunder exploding in the sky, which was extremely terrifying.
“Go help!”
Lin Fan took a deep look and said, "Five elders, go to Ziping Cave."
"I'm going to the Red Flame Sect. The Jade Lin Palace can still hold on for the time being."
From a distance, Wang Yulin was covered in blood.
But he was not dead. Instead, a blood-red figure rose into the air, emitting a fierce light, and using an unknown and terrifying secret technique, he managed to hold on.
That is Wang Teng, the 'Emperor's Appearance'!
However, Wang Teng's aura at this moment is completely different from before, making people feel particularly unfamiliar, but his strength is indeed not weak.
"Yes, Master!"
The five elders immediately set off and went to help through the teleportation array.
Lin Fan was not idle either and set off immediately.
On the way, he used his spiritual consciousness to transmit a message: "No need for a big fight, just show your identity and stand in the front. With us blocking the way, the two families won't dare to mess around. Then we can bring the person into the teleportation array and return to Lanyue Sect, and that will be considered as saving him. As for what happens next..."
Could it be that simple?
Lin Fan wasn't sure.
But he had made a vow before that unless it was impossible to do anything, he would not stand by and watch someone die.
Therefore, people are saved.
Soon, they arrived separately.
And immediately reveal your identity.
Just as the attack was about to come, they stood in front of them, which instantly angered the two sixth-level masters and forced them to withdraw their attack: "Are you from the Lanyue Sect looking for death?!"
"We are seeking death."
Lin Fan spoke, his voice shaking the sky: "Do you dare to kill me?"
"What does this have to do with your Lanyue Sect? Back off!"
The sixth realm expert was furious.
So angry!
It is clearly an ant that can be killed at any time, but I dare not kill it.
This ant is still jumping up and down relying on this point, it's simply outrageous!
"What does it have to do with you if we want to protect someone?"
While arguing, he asked everyone to quickly enter the teleportation array...
The two sixth-level strong men discovered the intentions of Lin Fan and others, and immediately took action to destroy the teleportation array.
But Lin Fan and the five elders suddenly jumped up and directly withstood the attack with their bodies, frightening the two men so much that they trembled and quickly stopped again.
"How can this be possible!"
damn it!!!
The two sixth realm masters were cursing, saying they had never had such a frustrating fight in their lives. And they had never expected Lin Fan and the others to be so shameless as to use their bodies as shields!
Afterwards, they could only watch helplessly as the two groups of people quickly left through the teleportation array...
Then, Lin Fan and his companions rushed to Yulin Palace and protected the people of Yulin Palace and helped them retreat to Lanyue Sect in the same way.
Wang Teng is still alive.
But he had been beaten beyond recognition.
Lin Fan brought him back as well.
The situation on the battlefield changed accordingly.
The six-level strong men from the two families besieged Mr. Liu Erye.
Although Mr. Liu was strong, his opponent was not weak either, and he was outnumbered six at once.
But Master Liu was a man of integrity after all, and he did not utter a word until he was severely injured and fell to the Lanyue Sect.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a terrifying sword light came across the sky and earth.
