Chapter 201: Cang Song's Defense Shattered, What a Fiery Outburst (Part 1)

"Alright."

"Yun Xiao, come back."

Lin Fan spoke.

Song Yun Xiao nodded and immediately returned.

Without Lin Fan's reminder, the Fire Unicorn took large steps forward, facing all the Green Cloud Sect members. Lin Fan surveyed everyone and softly said, "There’s a question that your Green Cloud Sect must answer. Otherwise, the Green Cloud Sect... will be exterminated."

Boom!

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone behind Lin Fan unleashed their full might.

The 'special effects' instantly reached their peak.

The terrifying aura almost split the heavens and the earth apart.

Many of the Green Cloud Sect elders, even the strongest among them, instantly felt like a small boat in a vast ocean, at risk of capsizing at any moment.

The elders of the Green Cloud Sect immediately turned pale.

The disciples were even more uneasy, each one of them stunned.

They couldn’t fathom why the Moon Embrace Sect, which had been cooperative just a moment ago, suddenly turned hostile and even threatened to destroy the entire Green Cloud Sect!

Worse still, the other side truly had the strength to do so.

After all, if just the disciples were this formidable, how much more powerful would their masters, the elders of the Moon Embrace Sect, and the higher-ups be?

Who could match them?

Even without considering these details, the overwhelming aura they were currently exuding was enough to discern their strength.

Disciples could think this much.

The elders of the Green Cloud Sect naturally understood it even more clearly.

But as the premier of the righteous path, they wouldn’t be so weak.

Daoxuan stood up, forcibly resisting the terrifying aura emanating from Huo Kunlun and others, and said, "This Daoist friend, you’re going too far."

"Even if your Moon Embrace Sect is strong, our Green Cloud Sect is not weak!"

"Even if we are weaker, the Green Cloud Sect, from top to bottom, has no cowards."

"You want to force the Green Cloud Sect to this extent?"

"Daoist friend, I’m afraid you’ve miscalculated."

"Is that so?"

Lin Fan was noncommittal: "I believe you might indeed not be a coward, but can you guarantee that everyone in the Green Cloud Sect is the same?"

"Will you swear to it?"

Daoxuan’s breathing paused.

If not for his exceptional composure, he would have cursed.

Why don’t you play by the rules?

As the saying goes, human hearts are hard to fathom.

How would I know if they’re afraid of death?

Moreover, even if most aren’t afraid, there will always be a few who are. I was just saying it offhand, but you’re taking it so seriously? Isn’t this bullying the honest?

"Never mind, it was just a joke."

Without waiting for Daoxuan’s response, Lin Fan gently waved his hand: "Besides, you don’t need to be so nervous."

"This question isn’t aimed at your Green Cloud Sect. On the contrary, it’s to help you solve a problem."

Hearing this, Daoxuan frowned slightly: "So, according to you, I should thank you?"

"Whether to thank or not, we can discuss later."

"You don’t need to be so confrontational. After all, if it really comes to a fight to the death, how many people in your Green Cloud Sect would be willing to die?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly.

He actually agreed with Huo Kunlun’s approach.

For those who have long held high positions, if you speak to them nicely, they’ll think you lack ability and won’t give you any face.

On the contrary, if you show your strength and scold them, they’ll talk to you nicely.

"Why not hear my question first before making other comments?"

"Supreme Master."

"Senior Brother."

"This..."

"Should we fight them?"

The Green Cloud Sect elders were indignant.

But there were still some who remained calm and suggested hearing him out first.

In the end, the head of Little Bamboo Peak said solemnly, "Then why don’t you tell us what your question is?"

"It’s very simple."

Lin Fan raised a finger: "Our sect has a connection with 'Xiao Zhang,' so we also care deeply about the village annihilation incident."

"We heard that your Green Cloud Sect has investigated this matter."

"Coincidentally, we have also investigated it."

"So, we specially came to ask, has your Green Cloud Sect found anything?"

Lin Fan smiled: "Isn’t this a question that could also benefit you?"

"After all, once it’s resolved, it would be one less worry for you."

"This?!"

Everyone was taken aback.

No one expected Lin Fan to ask such a question.

Just as they were about to say they hadn’t found anything, Lin Fan raised his hand and said, "Don’t tell me you found nothing, no clues at all."

"In fact, I already have sufficient evidence."

"I know who is responsible."

"And I know why they did it."

"Otherwise, we wouldn’t have come to your Green Cloud Sect and wouldn’t have asked such an apparently absurd question."

"So, think carefully before answering."

"If your answer doesn’t satisfy me, I won’t hesitate to exterminate your entire Green Cloud Sect."

Lin Fan’s expression grew colder.

He was serious!

Song Yun Xiao remained silent.

He didn’t understand why Lin Fan was doing this, but he trusted Lin Fan!

Therefore, he didn’t speak, just listened and watched.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhang was utterly stunned.

Beneath his shock, there was also anticipation and confusion.

He desperately wanted to know who the enemy was.

But from Lin Fan’s words, it seemed the Green Cloud Sect knew who it was but deliberately concealed it?

If so, then wouldn’t that mean...

Xiao Zhang’s complexion changed.

He slowly distanced himself from the Green Cloud Sect disciples.

"..."

The head of Big Bamboo Peak frowned deeply: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Our Green Cloud Sect did indeed send people to thoroughly investigate this matter, but found no clues. Now you come here with empty words and ask, I want to ask you, what answer are you looking for?"

"You don’t know because you’re stupid."

Lin Fan glanced at him: "In your Green Cloud Sect, there are those who know."

"Right now, it’s just a matter of whether they’re willing to step forward."

"Or perhaps, whether they want to drag the entire Green Cloud Sect into it with them?"

"Oh, that's right, perhaps... he wanted it this way?"

"Nonsense!"

Many of the Green Cloud Sect elders stood up, their eyes filled with anger.

"How could anyone in our Green Cloud Sect do such a thing?!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Don't spout nonsense!"

"And you think you can cause chaos within our Green Cloud Sect? You're dreaming!"

They all angrily rebuked.

But Lin Fan remained calm and unhurried, speaking softly, "Foolish."

"Do you really think everyone is like you?"

"Or perhaps, among you, aside from those who know about this matter, is there no one else with even a hint of awareness or suspicion?"

"If that's the case, then your Green Cloud Sect is truly clear in its foolishness."

At this moment, Lin Fan looked towards Cang Song, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his lips. The latter's heart trembled, but he maintained his composure, staring back with anger.

Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile coldly.

"Cang Song, you're truly thorough."

"Speaking of which, recalling Cang Song's betrayal, it's truly lamentable."

"A brother-obsessed man."

"One who... made the entire Immortal Slaying Realm hazy and miasmic, almost everyone's fate changed because of him—a perverted brother-obsessed maniac."

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn't help but think of the fire shadow he had chased after in his youth.

There was a 'One Against Seven' character in it, who was famously brother-obsessed.

For his brother, he didn't hesitate to kill his entire family, slaying his parents.

Later, during his battle with his brother, he directly sent his brother to the sea, forcing him to let go of his head, all to let his brother grow in hatred. At the same time, the main storyline was also closely related to him.

If it weren't for 'One Against Seven', the outcome would be hard to predict.

But in the Immortal Slaying Realm, it was the opposite.

Brother-obsessed?

No!

There was only one brother-obsessed maniac, and that was Cang Song!

In the past, among the Green Cloud Sect's four outstanding disciples, Cang Song, Wan Jianyi, Zeng Changlong, and Tian Buyi, when they ventured into the Southern Wasteland, Wan Jianyi had saved Cang Song.

And back then, Wan Jianyi had always been the idol of the Green Cloud Sect's disciples, and Cang Song admired him greatly, even to the point where their relationship exceeded that of brothers and reached the level of kinship.

Subsequently, after Wan Jianyi and Daoxuan witnessed Tian Chengzi, the sect leader, go mad from using the Zuxian Sword, Daoxuan restrained Tian Chengzi, and Wan Jianyi was forced to use his sword to kill Tian Chengzi.

Later, Cang Song mistakenly believed that Wan Jianyi had been killed by Daoxuan."

From then on, Cang Song, the brother-obsessed man, went completely mad, becoming a crazed fanatic.

He secretly colluded with and surrendered to the Demon Sect! During the battle between the righteous and demonic paths on Green Cloud Mountain, Cang Song launched a sneak attack on the sect leader, Daoxuan Zhenren, leading the Demon Sect's followers and betraying the Green Cloud Sect, revealing a past incident within the sect that resulted in heavy losses for the Green Cloud Sect...

On the eve of the Beast Deity's invasion of the Central State, when the Poison God, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, passed away, Cang Song offered a poisonous plan, and the Ghost King Sect annihilated both the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and the Joyful Union Sect.

In the battle at Liubo Mountain, Cang Song once again displayed his might within the Demon Sect.

It could be said that many characters' fate changes in the book were related to Cang Song.

No, to be more extreme.

Without Cang Song, there might not have even been the 'Immortal Slaying' affair.

He was the one who set the wheels of Xiao Zhang's fate in motion.

Yet, this perverted brother-obsessed maniac actually had some feelings for the Green Cloud Sect.

However, Cang Song and Daoxuan never truly got along.

Even within the Green Cloud Sect, they maintained a superficial relationship.

It was precisely because of this that the tragedy occurred.

But Lin Fan couldn't change the past or rewrite history; he could only test how much affection Cang Song had for the Green Cloud Sect.

He was clearly aware of the truth behind Xiao Zhang's village annihilation incident, and even if he couldn't be certain, he at least had some suspicions.

So, would Cang Song admit the truth for the sake of the Green Cloud Sect?

Or would he not care about the Green Cloud Sect's survival and wish for them to be buried with him?

"Fellow Daoist!"

As Lin Fan pondered, Daoxuan took a deep breath, his voice turning colder, "Please don't speak nonsense that confuses others."

"If you suspect someone, just say it directly!"

"If you have evidence, present it!"

"Don't hide behind vague words and act like the demonic path!"

Lin Fan laughed.

So, he was standing on a moral high ground and accusing him?

Daoxuan wasn't a bad person.

But he was prone to committing the kind of self-righteous acts that those who claimed to be on the righteous path often did.

If it were someone else from the righteous path, it might be hard to deal with.

Unfortunately, Lin Fan didn't boast about being from a noble sect or a virtuous man. Normally, he wouldn't kill innocents without reason. But sometimes, I don't mind using special methods."

"If you call it the demonic path, then so be it."

"I'm this kind of person."

"If you can't give me a satisfactory answer or if the person involved doesn't come forward, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Boom!

Hu Kunlun and the others instantly increased their power, becoming even more terrifying.

The Green Cloud Sect was filled with fear.

Xiao Zhang and Lin Jingyu suddenly rushed out and knelt before Lin Fan.

"Senior, we don't know who you are or what you know."

"But if you know the truth behind the annihilation of Caomiao Village, please tell us."

"This great favor is beyond repayment. We're willing to take an oath and serve you unconditionally, without hesitation."

"No rush, now that it's been brought up, it's time to see if the Green Cloud Sect will admit it themselves or if... we'll force them to admit it!" Lin Fan waved his hand, using his own energy to help them up, and said calmly,

"Now, it's time to see if the Green Cloud Sect will admit it themselves or if... we'll force them to admit it!"

"What?!"

Xiao Zhang's face turned pale as he said in disbelief, "You mean... the mastermind behind the annihilation of Caomiao Village is the Green Cloud Sect?"

"This is impossible!"

Lin Jingyu's face paled as well.

He thought Lin Fan knew something, so he rushed out to seek clarification.

But from Lin Fan's words, it seemed like the Green Cloud Sect was responsible?

How could that be possible!

Daoxuan's expression changed, and he coldly asked, "Why do you speak like this, fellow Daoist?"

"If you want to destroy our Green Cloud Sect, just do it. Why resort to such slander? It's a huge joke!"

"You really are..."

Lin Fan sighed, "There are still five left."

He raised five fingers.

"All members of the Green Cloud Sect, listen up! Protect the sect!"

Tian Buyi roared and drew his sword.

Haa...

In an instant, the sound of sword chants rose from all directions.

Everyone in the Green Cloud Sect gritted their teeth, glaring at Lin Fan and the others, ready to strike at any moment.

Lin Fan remained calm and composed, looking every bit like a major villain, "Three!"

"Two~~~"

The crowd was filled with anger, but Cang Song's heart was in turmoil.

He was powerful, and his strength was among the top in the Green Cloud Sect.

It was precisely because of this that he could clearly sense how strong Lin Fan's group was. He was certain that if a fight broke out, everyone in the Green Cloud Sect would undoubtedly perish, with no chance of victory.

This realization initially brought him great satisfaction.

But after the initial joy, he hesitated.

At this moment, his heart ached.

Finally, as Lin Fan gently uttered the word 'one,' Cang Song sighed, "Slow down."

Everyone was taken aback.

The elders of the Green Cloud Sect turned to look at him.

Song Yunxiao was also extremely surprised.

Could there really be something going on?

How did his master... find out about this?

"Why bother?"

Lin Fan sighed, "There's no need to wait until the last moment, wasting everyone's time. Why not just come forward earlier?"

Cang Song: "..."

Are you even human?

Who does things like this? You push people to the edge, and then you don't allow them a moment of hesitation or doubt?

How unreasonable!

"Do you want to continue with your nonsense, or do you want to hear what I have to say?"

"Oh, right, right." Lin Fan nodded, "Please."

Cang Song: "???"

He was even more speechless.

You're the master of the Moon Embrace Sect, for heaven's sake! Although I don't know what kind of sect it is or how powerful it is, you're not even arguing after I challenged you?

How shameless!

You're making things so difficult for others!

Cang Song sighed helplessly, "Fine, fine."

He faced everyone's astonished gazes, especially the shocked look from his disciple Lin Jingyu. He slowly lowered his head and said, "Actually, I can't be certain, but... I have some speculations."

"Back then, when I fought against Pu Zhi..."

"He was heavily injured by me and fled. If you calculate the area, it's near that region."

"Later, I found out that he possessed the Bloodthirsty Pearl, a treasure of the Demon Sect."

"I think that after being heavily injured by me, he might have been bewitched by the Bloodthirsty Pearl, leading to his madness and the creation of this calamity."

Xiao Zhang was stunned upon hearing this.

"No, this is impossible!"

"I said, it's just my speculation."

Cang Song frowned, "That's why I never made this matter public!"

"Do you think I'm afraid to take responsibility, so I'm unwilling to speak?"

"This..."

Xiao Zhang was in a daze.

Lin Jingyu was shocked.

The members of the Green Cloud Sect were also somewhat confused.

The village annihilation calamity didn't directly involve them, so they might feel sympathy, but they couldn't truly empathize. At this moment, their emotions were complex, but only to a certain extent.

Only Lin Jingyu was extremely shocked and angry, while Xiao Zhang... refused to believe it.

Perhaps it was inappropriate to say it like this, but if Cang Song's speculation was true, it wouldn't be far from the truth! Xiao Zhang couldn't accept it.

As for the reason, everyone understood, so there was no need to elaborate.

At this moment, Lin Fan smirked.

Cang Song still had some face to save. His words, half-true and half-false, sounded quite convincing to others, but unfortunately, Lin Fan was determined to expose everything.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Lin Fan pressed forward.

Daoxuan stepped forward, "Fellow Daoist, what else do you want?"

"I didn't ask you."

Lin Fan glared at him, "Cang Song, about the death of Wan Jianyi..."

"You!!!"

Cang Song's expression changed instantly, his eyes filled with anger, "What are you trying to say?"

"Don't insult Senior Brother Wan!"

"How is this an insult? Isn't this common knowledge?" Lin Fan feigned surprise, "When Senior Brother Wan was executed for killing his master, didn't you feel any dissatisfaction or anger?"

Daoxuan's eyes sank, his face slightly changing color, as he looked at Cang Song with disbelief.

Cang Song was furious, his eyes blazing with rage, staring at Lin Fan as if he wanted to devour him.

"He didn't kill his master!"

"Common knowledge," Lin Fan refuted.

"Does common knowledge make it right?" Cang Song roared, "What do outsiders like you understand?"

"Not just outsiders, even the members of the Green Cloud Sect, who knows the truth of what happened back then?"

"Senior Brother Wan's death was entirely caused by Daoxuan, and it was completely unavoidable. No one in his position could have done better!"

"In my opinion, the one who should have died is clearly Daoxuan, not Senior Brother Wan!
