Chapter 141: Betrayer! Reverse Conquest Array, Lin Fan Leads the Entire Sect's Great Powers! (Part 1)
"Enemy attack!"
A shout echoed across the 108 Spirit Mountains of the Moonseizing Sect.
"All disciples, retreat to the Inner Gate!"
Lin Fan's order left the disciples in a state of shock, but they did not panic. Instead, they quickly retreated to the Inner Gate.
Xiao Ling'er and Huo Yun'er appeared in the sky with a swift movement.
Huo Kunlun and the four other Great Powers also reacted swiftly, their brows furrowed in concern.
The five elders, including Wu Xingyun, had grim expressions as they gathered behind Lin Fan.
"Sect Leader..."
Lin Fan gently raised his hand, "Let's observe first."
Clear skies and a sudden thunderbolt!
Streaks of lightning struck, causing the Guardian Sect Array to tremble continuously. Lian Bo's face grew more solemn.
"This won't do."
Huo Kunlun frowned, "Although we don't know who the attacker is, the array's range is too vast. Even if we all use our bodies to protect the array, it's like a drop in the bucket. Let's go out and fight!"
"Indeed."
Lian Bo nodded, "Let's go out and fight!"
"I'll go first!"
Ma Canzhan rolled up his sleeves, full of enthusiasm.
He couldn't help but recall last year's battle. Jin Zhen had acted just a moment before him, and the potent pills he obtained were several times more valuable than his own! How could he let others take the lead this year?
"Who dares to show up here? You don't even put our Fire Virtue Sect in your eyes! Get out here and face your death!"
He shouted, using Instant Transmission to appear outside the Guardian Sect Array and launched a fierce attack towards the dense incoming assault.
Jin Zhen, Zhao Tiezhu, and Huo Kunlun didn't hesitate either and followed closely behind, joining the battle.
They were both providing cover and taking advantage of the opportunity to strike.
"Let's attack together! Don't let them get the upper hand!"
Lian Bo felt anxious and signaled Luo Yu Shu to hurry up.
He knew that this was a chance to prove their worth and be rewarded accordingly.
The better they performed, the more and higher-quality potent pills they would receive.
Opportunities like this were rare, and they wouldn't come again.
Now was the time to act.
However, they were all intelligent people, and even in a competitive relationship, it was healthy competition. They wouldn't set traps for the Fire Virtue Sect's Great Power Practitioners, but they also used Instant Transmission to rush out of the array, facing the terrifying onslaught head-on!
But...
They went out fast, and they returned even faster.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a 'Phoenix Sky Map' appeared in the sky, followed by a phoenix roar and a stomp!
Boom!
The earth shook.
Even the air seemed to freeze.
As space shattered, Lian Bo, Huo Kunlun, and five other Great Power Practitioners who attacked together were forced back, suppressed, and retreated hundreds of meters outside the array.
Their faces grew solemn.
The excitement in their eyes faded.
"Phoenix Technique?"
Huo Kunlun's eyes narrowed, "The West Gate Family!"
...
"It's the West Gate Family!"
Inside the array.
Lin Fan, Xiao Ling'er, and the five elders stood side by side.
The First Elder gritted his teeth, unable to hide his anger, "Damn West Gate Family!"
"West Gate?"
Lin Fan and Xiao Ling'er were surprised.
"The West Gate Family was once an affiliate of the Moonseizing Sect. Back then, they were just a second-rate power, even weaker than the Liu Family is now."
"But when the Moonseizing Sect gradually declined, they suddenly rebelled and betrayed us."
"Using the death of their family head as a price, they betrayed us without warning, catching the Moonseizing Sect off guard."
"They came prepared and attacked from behind. In an instant, the Moonseizing Sect suffered heavy casualties."
"They colluded with the Moonseizing Sect's enemies, seizing many Spirit Mountains, treasures, and even took the Phoenix Technique of the Moonseizing Sect's Phoenix Technique."
"They forced the Moonseizing Sect to retreat repeatedly, causing significant losses."
"If not for their betrayal, even if the Moonseizing Sect declined, it wouldn't have fallen to such a state!"
"If not for their betrayal, the Moonseizing Sect could have lasted for another ten thousand years! In that time, even if they couldn't maintain their peak, they could still protect themselves."
"It was that battle that broke the Moonseizing Sect's backbone..."
"But the West Gate Family used the seized wealth and territories to grow rapidly."
"Within their clan, over the past ten thousand years, many talents emerged, including one who cultivated the Phoenix Technique to an extremely high level and changed his name to West Gate Phoenix!"
"Oh?"
"So, they are our mortal enemies."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, "They betrayed the Moonseizing Sect, killed our ancestors, seized our territories, and took pride in the Phoenix Technique?"
He coldly smiled, "I'm curious, what kind of person, what kind of family, could be so shameless?"
"Of course, it's a despicable, dog-like thief." The Second Elder, Wu Xingyun, scoffed.
...
Lian Bo and the other two were surprised.
They knew little about the Moonseizing Sect's past in the Southwest Region.
Their knowledge of the West Gate Family was limited.
They knew the West Gate Family was strong and had developed well over the years, with some shady dealings behind the scenes and connections with first-rate powers.
But they didn't know that the West Gate Family had grown by betraying and feeding off the Moonseizing Sect.
At the same time, they were certain that today's conflict couldn't be resolved peacefully.
It was a matter of life and death!
...
"Hehe."
A mocking laugh sounded.
"So-called betrayal is just a matter of choosing the right time and place, and the wise adapting to circumstances."
"Your Moonseizing Sect's current decline proves that our ancestors' choice was correct."
"Moreover, in the Immortal Martial Continent, strength speaks."
"Now, our clan is strong, and we hold the power. Everything is decided by us."
"The Phoenix Technique belongs to our clan, and it's our treasure. You claim it's the Moonseizing Sect's, or even use it within your broken Moonseizing Sect?"
"If you can, then what's the problem?"
"Hmm?"
The West Gate Family members appeared, a total of seven Great Power Practitioners! The first among them had a ruddy complexion, his upper body bare with tattoos covering his skin—a Kirin totem!
"So it was you, the West Gate Family."
The Supreme Elder gritted his teeth, his anger rising, "West Gate Kirin!"
Lin Fan's gaze turned solemn.
Just then, he had received a message from Fan Jian Gang, informing him that Long Aotian was searching for Lu Ming.
Though he was unaware of Long Aotian's intentions, Lin Fan felt it best for Lu Ming to remain hidden for the time being. If this was the case, it was time for his true self to take action.
However...
"It's best if my true self remains hidden. Perhaps I can use an array as a cover?"
His thoughts raced.
This battle was inevitable, and it seemed incredibly challenging. It was a matter of how it would play out.
"How shameless!" Huo Yun'er couldn't hold back her anger.
Xiao Ling'er's eyes flashed with fury, "Is it you?! How dare you!"
She glared at the person behind West Gate Kirin, "No wonder you took the Ice Spirit Cold Flame that day. Now it makes sense why you specifically targeted me. You're traitors of the West Gate Family!"
"That day, you were lucky." The person behind West Gate Kirin chuckled.
"When it comes to shamelessness, you take the cake," Huo Kunlun exhaled, "To speak of shamelessness with such grandstanding, even our Sect Master would feel ashamed."
"Shameless?"
West Gate Kirin laughed, "History is always written by the victors. Once we win, the shame will be on the Moon Holding Palace, not us."
"I never expected that there would still be remnants of the Moon Holding Palace aware of this. It seems we didn't finish them off completely back then."
"It's all their fault..."
"Otherwise, the Moon Holding Palace would have been long forgotten, and we wouldn't be in this mess."
He shifted his tone, "Huo De Sect, Huo Kunlun, I know you. Your sect is indeed impressive, but I doubt you'd risk everything to fight us over the Moon Holding Palace."
"Or perhaps, even if your sect is willing, your Supreme Elders and old fellows won't be able to arrive in time?"
"Leave now, and I can pretend you were never here."
"Otherwise..."
"Tomorrow, the Huo De Sect might have a new Sect Master."
He wanted to directly crush them all.
But with the Huo De Sect's Sect Master and three Elders present, he couldn't act recklessly. If he could force them to leave, that would be the best outcome.
"Then why don't you try?"
Huo Kunlun let out a cold snort but showed no signs of leaving.
"Seeking your own demise."
West Gate Kirin turned to Lian Bo and the other two, "The three of you look unfamiliar, but judging by the fluctuations in your cultivation, you're from the Northern Region."
"Why would Northerners wade into this mess?"
"With such meager means, you think you can sow discord?" Lian Bo scoffed, "When I was your age, I was still suckling at my mother's breast!"
"Let the others come out as well. Seven of you aren't enough!"
"Oh?"
West Gate Kirin's face remained unchanged as he mocked, "If that's the case, then your talent must be lacking. At my age, my cultivation surpasses yours by a large margin."
Lian Bo was expected to be taken aback, but instead, he laughed, "Hehe, it's no wonder. You're nothing but a 'filial son' who grew up by betraying and suckling the blood of your sect."
"You admit it, your talent is indeed exceptional."
West Gate Kirin was almost convinced.
"Since you insist on meddling, you'll all stay here."
"Zhou Family."
"What are you waiting for?!"
Six more figures appeared.
All of them were Great Power Practitioners!
They wore identical clothing, indicating they were from a different power, despite acting alongside the West Gate Family.
"The betrayal back then also involved you!" The Supreme Elder's voice trembled with rage.
"No matter."
The leader of the Zhou Family smiled, "After today, no one will dare speak of this in front of us."
"Is that so?"
Before he could finish, a mocking laugh interrupted him.
A sword tore through the air, and Sword Child, along with his Dao Protector from the Spirit Sword Sect arrived.
Holding the Three Leaves, whose fifth leaf had just sprouted, Sword Child's laughter was particularly grating, "What if I say otherwise?"
His expression turned cold, "The Spirit Sword Sect has made it clear—only we can destroy the Moon Holding Palace. Anyone who dares to challenge us over this matter is our enemy."
"You..."
Sword Child turned to look at Xiao Ling'er within the array, a helpless smile on his face.
He had intended to honor their agreement and challenge her again, but the situation had become too chaotic. It seemed he could only wait until this battle concluded.
"Fine, after this battle, we'll have that rematch!"
But Wang Teng suddenly interrupted, "Traitor, how dare you speak to her like that? And you call her by name?!"
Sword Child's body stiffened.
He forced a smile more painful than tears, "Grand...Grand Uncle."
Xiao Ling'er was at a loss for words.
The two Dao Protectors behind Sword Child were tense, "Ah?!"
They were unaware that Wang Teng was a disciple of the Moon Holding Palace, only knowing him as a member of the Jade Unicorn Palace.
What was this situation?
Sword Child sighed, turning to the Dao Protectors, "I only learned of this recently. Yes...my master, he became a disciple of the Moon Holding Palace, joining them as a fellow disciple."
"So, technically, I'm also a disciple of the Moon Holding Palace."
"Precisely because of this, I can't stand by and watch the Moon Holding Palace be destroyed."
"Elder, we won't trouble you further."
The two Dao Protectors were stunned.
What the hell?
You were the one who vowed to personally destroy the Moon Holding Palace, claiming it was necessary for your cultivation and sword intent.
And now, you've become a disciple of the Moon Holding Palace yourself?
This twist...
We almost fell over from the shock.
And with that, you're implying we have no choice but to intervene?
But can we even win?
They drew their swords, brows furrowed.
"Spirit Sword Sect," West Gate Kirin sighed, "Why must you involve yourselves, wading into this quagmire?"
The moment we're fast enough, what can Lingjian Sect do to stop us?"
Immediately, he gave the order, "If anyone from Lingjian Sect dares to stop us, cripple them all, but leave them alive."
"I don't believe Lingjian Sect would start a major conflict with us over a mere Lian Yue Sect."
"Yes!"
The members of the two families responded in unison.
Just then, members of Haoyue Sect suddenly appeared, smiling, "Lingjian Sect?"
"At this moment, it's best if you don't get involved."
"How about you watch from the sidelines with us?"
"Haoyue Sect!"
Jianzi and his Guardian's expressions changed as they realized the other side had more people, a total of four Great Powers. If a fight broke out, they wouldn't have any advantage.
They felt helpless about this.
Jianzi was ready to fight regardless, but after a moment's thought, he fell silent.
Two against four.
If a real fight broke out, it might actually burden Lian Yue Sect.
"You guys were well-prepared."
Lin Fan estimated the strength of both sides, and the odds seemed heavily stacked against them, thirteen to seven, a significant numerical disadvantage.
Moreover, the strength of the Ximen family's Qilin was too formidable, already at the Ninth Level of the Seventh Realm, and he had cultivated the Qilin Art to the Great Accomplishment stage.
However...
It wasn't an impossible fight.
With this thought...
Three Great Powers from the Liu family appeared.
Ten against thirteen!
Adding Lin Fan and Xiao Ling'er...
This battle could be managed.
But suddenly, from the shadows, four more people emerged.
It was the remaining two Great Powers from the Chen and Jiang families, and they had also arrived!
"Liu family!"
Their target was clear, but the numerical disadvantage widened once again.
The Supreme Elder of the Liu family's expression changed as he spoke to Lin Fan, "Lin Sect Master, we have all made some breakthroughs. Three against four, we can ensure that the Great Powers of the two families won't be able to intervene, but as for the Ximen and Zhou families..."
"But please trust us, Lin Sect Master. In today's battle, we will thoroughly cripple them and avenge the grudges from last year!"
"No problem. You handle those four, and leave the rest to us."
Lin Fan nodded, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
It seemed the numerical advantage hadn't changed much, still seven against thirteen at first glance.
"Moreover..."
"We need to show them that Lian Yue Sect is worth their full effort."
"Huode Sect, we've been belittled, haven't we?"
"Indeed, the coincidental combination of circumstances has brought us more allies."
"The three Dao friends from the North Region, we'll give you three numbers."
"If you don't retreat, you'll be asking for it."
"One..."
"Two..."
"Three! I'll count the third number for you!"
Xiao Ling'er stepped forward, her Immortal Fire Nine Transformations reached the Fifth Transformation, her cultivation base almost rivaling the Seventh Realm.
"If you want to fight, feel free."
The four Great Powers from the Liu family changed their expressions, but the numerical disadvantage widened again.
The Supreme Elder of the Liu family's expression changed as he spoke to Lin Fan, "Lin Sect Master, we have all made some breakthroughs. Three against four, we can ensure that the Great Powers of the two families won't be able to intervene, but as for the Ximen and Zhou families..."
"But please trust us, Lin Sect Master. In today's battle, we will thoroughly cripple them and avenge the grudges from last year!"
"No problem. You handle those four, and leave the rest to us."
Lin Fan nodded, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
It seemed the numerical advantage hadn't changed much, still seven against thirteen at first glance.
"Moreover..."
"We need to show them that Lian Yue Sect is worth their full effort."
"Huode Sect, we've been belittled, haven't we?"
"Indeed, the coincidental combination of circumstances has brought us more allies."
"The three Dao friends from the North Region, we'll give you three numbers."
"If you don't retreat, you'll be asking for it."
"One..."
"Two..."
"Three! I'll count the third number for you!"
Xiao Ling'er stepped forward, her Immortal Fire Nine Transformations reached the Fifth Transformation, her cultivation base almost rivaling the Seventh Realm.
"If you want to fight, feel free."
The four Great Powers from the Liu family changed their expressions, but the numerical disadvantage widened again.
Lian Bo and Jin Zhen, both at the Fifth Level of the Seventh Realm, fought together, their understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses allowing them to coordinate seamlessly. They fought with a four-on-six disadvantage, yet they managed to hold off the six members of the Zhou family with surprising ease!
But with a four-on-six disadvantage, and with Zhao Tiezhu having just broken through recently, they were determined to not back down.
The seven Great Powers from the Liu, Chen, and Jiang families, seeing the six members of the Ximen family, were filled with envy.
With the battle lines drawn, no one was willing to retreat.
Cheng Guang Shan and Luo Yu Shu unleashed their full strength, especially after learning that Lian Sheng had broken through before them. They wanted to prove their worth in this battle and show their value.
Determined not to flee, the two fought together, two against four! Both at the Fifth Level of the Seventh Realm, they were rivals, enemies, and friends, but also allies. Together, they held their ground against the four, managing to keep up with surprising ease!
"The flesh of Northern Region cultivators is indeed much stronger. But how long can you two last?"
(Chapter End)
"Hahaha!"
The two remaining Great Powerhouses, upon seeing this, turned around and charged towards the two, intending to either surround and kill them or force them to retreat.
However, Xiao Ling'er was not one to sit idly by.
She took a deep breath, directly consumed a pill, and unleashed her full power.
"Your opponent is me!"
She blocked the two remaining Great Powerhouses from the West Gate Family, showing no hesitation as she pushed the Thousand Thunderous Movement to its limits. Standing upon lightning, her figure was surrounded by afterimages.
At the same time, the Lingyun Sword in her hand blazed with raging flames, almost melting.
"Thousand Flame Void-Breaking Sword!"
Slicing through the air, the sword energy tore apart the void, blocking the two and separating them.
Simultaneously, she raised her sword and activated her sword technique.
"Sword Eight, Profound!"
The Ethereal Sword Technique was unleashed, and although she was not a Sword Cultivator, this sword strike was exceptionally powerful.
Both Great Powerhouses were startled, their brows furrowing immediately.
"Xiao Ling'er!"
"You choose to walk into hell instead of taking the road to heaven."
"Since it's like that, then die!
