Chapter 293: Killing the Poisonous Woman! Living Hell King? Plotting Against Moon Embrace Sect! (Part 2)
"What am I saying?"
The Third Ancestor stated, "As long as our clan spares no effort in cultivating Qier from now on, he will become a sacred ancestor, and it won't take long."
"He will repay our clan tenfold, a hundredfold."
"Becoming a Sacred Land is not difficult. As the Second Ancestor of the Stone Clan, why are you so timid and hesitant, looking back and forth, and talking about regret here?"
By his side.
Shi Qi, no longer suppressed, rose to his feet with a solemn expression. "I will become the ultimate powerhouse and subdue all enemies in the world. As for those who deserve to die..."
"I won't stay!"
"..."
"Forget it."
The First Ancestor, with his aged voice, slowly spoke, "This matter is already decided. There's no need for further hesitation."
"As for the Rain Clan, it's a matter of karmic retribution."
"After all, strength is respected. If your fist isn't as hard as others', you can only become a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others."
"But..."
"This matter must not be spread outside, especially the news of the Great Demon God killing the remaining members of the Rain Clan within our Stone Clan. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to our Stone Clan."
"Qi'er, do you understand this matter?"
Shi Qi calmly nodded, not at all resembling someone who had just lost his mother, "I understand!"
"..."
...
The Stone Clan blocked the news.
As a result, the news indeed remained unspread.
This is the advantage of a 'family'.
Although there are many people, only a few have access to first-hand information, and their loyalty is naturally beyond question. The difficulty of blocking the news becomes extremely low.
Given the Great Demon God's character, he naturally wouldn't spread this news around.
Therefore...
Almost no outsiders knew, and the entire Rain Clan had become history.
Even those within the Stone Clan were not spared.
The only known information was that Chengying Xianzi, who had once been hunted down and had her cultivation disabled by the Rain Clan, suddenly returned with terrifying strength, killing many powerful members of the Rain Clan. The Great Demon God joined forces with her, and together they fiercely killed the Rain Clan's leader, Yu Qingchen, who had already reached the Ninth Realm...
As for subsequent news, no one knew.
...
Lin Fan, on the other hand, was very clear about the situation.
After the Great Demon God succeeded and left the Stone Clan, he immediately contacted Lin Fan.
While informing him of everything, he also said, "I will continue to protect Haoer's path."
"Thank you, Great Demon God," Lin Fan expressed his gratitude.
"They deserve to die. Even if you hadn't called me, I would have found an opportunity to deal with them!" The Great Demon God laughed coldly, "Your actions actually helped me and saved me a lot of worries."
The Great Demon God laughed, "It's just that simple!"
"These days, I've been secretly following Haoer, and I'm certain that his talent is no less than Shi Qi's!"
"In fact, I had the chance to kill Shi Qi."
"But I didn't take action."
"Because I'm waiting, waiting for Haoer to grow, waiting for him to personally resolve the karmic debt and kill Shi Qi!"
"..."
...
"The Great Demon God has confidence in Shi Hao."
"But..."
"I do too."
Lin Fan muttered to himself.
If he didn't have confidence in the Emperor of the Wilderness, who should he have confidence in?
To be blunt...
Lin Fan's confidence in himself wasn't as strong as his confidence in the Emperor of the Wilderness.
"Then, I should proceed with the next step of my plan."
With a wave of his hand, a scarecrow walked out, took two storage bags from Lin Fan, and then bowed, "Your Highness, I'll be on my way."
Lin Fan smiled slightly.
"Go."
The scarecrow instantly disappeared without a trace.
...
Inside the Embrace Moon Palace.
Two scarecrows met with Lin Fan.
After exchanging storage bags, the scarecrow covered in dust immediately transformed into a scarecrow and disappeared.
Lin Fan, who had received the storage bag, took a deep breath.
"Then..."
"Good things can't be wasted."
"Good things?"
Ya Ya, who was giving Lin Fan a hand massage, was full of curiosity, "Master, what good things?"
"Of course, these are good things."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "One for you and one for He Anxia."
"Gifts?"
Ya Ya's eyes lit up.
Girls, especially since she was a template for the Ruthless Emperor, but due to Lin Fan's presence, she wasn't as bitter as the original version, so she was much more lively.
She didn't have such a deep-rooted grudge.
And lively girls would naturally like 'surprises'.
"Hmm... I guess it's a gift?"
Lin Fan pondered for a moment; this statement made sense.
If it's a good thing to give to someone, what else could it be but a gift?
"Then I'll call my junior brother to receive it."
Ya Ya's smile was radiant, and she immediately contacted He Anxia. Then she looked at the two storage bags, her eyes wandering, "Master, what is it?"
"This."
Lin Fan handed over the storage bag containing the bodies of many Rain Clan members in the Eighth Realm, erasing the divine soul imprint, and said, "This thing will be of great use to you."
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of that 'moonlit night'.
He had given Xiao Ling'er the body of Ximen Qilin.
She was also very happy.
Today, Ya Ya would be even happier, right?
"Let me see what it is."
Ya Ya opened the storage bag with a smile, and then...
Her face twitched.
Then, her smile grew even brighter.
"Thank you, Master, I really like it!"
"I'm glad you like it, I'm glad you like it."
Lin Fan nodded with a smile.
Yes, as expected, his guess was correct~
My gift-giving skills are still quite good!
He was pleased with himself.
Although talking about corpses might sound a bit inauspicious, this was the Immortal Martial Continent, not the modern urban world.
In the modern urban world, giving someone a corpse would be purely crazy.
But in the Immortal Martial Continent, especially for someone like Ya Ya, who is a template for the Ruthless Emperor, giving a storage bag containing the body of an Eighth Realm cultivator is completely different.
If she wasn't so 'holy', the body of an Eighth Realm cultivator wouldn't be a corpse, but a resource!
Especially for Ya Ya, it was a great treasure among treasures.
After all, Ya Ya was originally a mortal, with no innate talent whatsoever, making her unsuitable for cultivation. She relied entirely on the Swallowing Heaven Demon Technique to devour others' talents and physical constitutions, gradually accumulating them within herself, thus granting her talent, which grew increasingly stronger over time.
Her strength also grew progressively.
Even though Ya Ya’s aptitude is now quite good, who would ever complain about having too much talent? With so many Eighth Realm corpses, once Ya Ya devours their physical constitutions and aptitudes, her own aptitude will undoubtedly reach even greater heights!
This is precisely why Lin Fan went through the trouble of sealing their divine souls individually and bringing the corpses back.
Utilize everything to the fullest! Waste nothing.
As for the divine souls, he would give them to He Anxia.
He is a Biologist, but the microorganisms he has cultivated so far can only deal with physical bodies, leaving divine souls completely untouched...
Clearly, this is unacceptable.
While physical bodies are important, if you can't kill someone's divine soul, you can't truly kill them!
Therefore...
These sealed divine souls are excellent experimental subjects!
He Anxia arrived soon after.
Upon learning that all the experimental materials Lin Fan had prepared for him were Eighth Realm cultivators, including many Eighth Realm peak divine souls, he was immensely moved and grateful.
"Master."
"Disciple..."
"Disciple..."
For a moment, he stuttered, not knowing what to say.
Lin Fan merely smiled faintly. "It's fine, it's fine."
"Such is the nature of the sect."
"I help everyone, and everyone helps me."
"Today, you take pride in the sect, and I hope that one day, the sect will take pride in you."
"Go, cultivate well, and research thoroughly. The future of Biologists is boundless, and only you can blaze this trail."
"However, be cautious. No one knows if there are any marks within these Rain Clan divine souls. Although the Rain Clan is extinct, the Stone Clan still exists, and the Two-Pupiled Shi Qi is still around."
"It's best to be cautious."
"Yes, Master!!!"
"Disciple plans to take these divine souls to one of our sect’s secret realms for study and testing. This way, they won’t be discovered." He Anxia replied solemnly.
"That’s best."
Lin Fan nodded slightly. "Remember to destroy all evidence after your research. Leave no trace."
"Master, rest assured. Disciple understands."
He Anxia bowed and left.
He wasn't lying about that.
The act of destroying evidence is second nature to anyone except the most virtuous and naive.
And such virtuous and naive individuals...
Can't survive in the long run.
So, they are rarely seen.
As a normal cultivator, He Anxia was naturally adept at destroying evidence.
...
After making sure the Rain Clan was thoroughly dealt with, Lin Fan informed Fan Jianqiang.
After all, this guy is a survivor.
Knowing the Rain Clan is an 'enemy,' he would certainly make some secret arrangements.
Now that the Rain Clan is gone, he still needed to be informed, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of resources, time, and methods?
Upon receiving the news, Fan Jianqiang wasn't particularly surprised. He only said, "Master is formidable, but... how exactly did you exterminate the clan?"
Lin Fan gave a general account of the process.
Fan Jianqiang immediately became anxious.
"Master."
"Not to criticize, but why didn't you bring me along for such a task?"
"You were not cautious enough, nor thorough enough."
"If it were me..."
"I would have left a live witness!"
"Preferably one of their clan’s geniuses."
"?!?"
Lin Fan was surprised. "Leave a live witness? Why?"
"To cause trouble for myself?"
"Ah~ Master, you don’t understand."
Fan Jianqiang sighed. "Actually, I’ve been wanting to say this for a while. Our sect rules and your methods are too simple, and your thinking is too conservative."
"We should be more aggressive!"
Lin Fan: "..."
Well then!
When did you, a survivor, have the audacity to call others conservative?
But Fan Jianqiang continued, "Kill them all? Beat the dogs twice? Slice the worms vertically?"
"It seems very thorough and ruthless, but in reality... it’s too shallow!"
"Too superficial."
"If it were me..."
"First, I would leave a Rain Clan young genius alive!"
"Then, pretend to kill him, to cut off all roots."
Fan Jianqiang grew more excited as he spoke. "At the same time, use a clone technique or have a companion ready. When he is about to be killed, they should rush out and save him, even at the cost of severe injuries!"
"This way, we can gain his trust."
"Next, ask if he has any place to go. If he does... those places are surely connected to him and the Rain Clan, and they must not be left alive!"
"On this side, I would burn their ancestral land for three months straight, then..."
"Before the clone side, kill everyone he wants to contact."
"Finally, kill the young genius, and everyone involved must be given a complete service to the afterlife."
"..."
Lin Fan was stunned.
Damn, this is the survivor's mindset?
66666!
"Finally, finally..."
Lin Fan: "???"
There’s more? ??
"Finally, finally, pretend to be a friend of the Rain Clan and set up a memorial for them at their clan grounds, mourning for three years."
"During these three years... those close to them will surely hear the news and come to mourn, and those who come to mourn must not be left alive~!"
"This is what it means to truly cut off all roots."
Lin Fan: "..."
"To be frank, I have a question."
"Ah? Master, please speak."
"You... are you a survivor or the Living Hell King?"
"Master, how can you say such things to me?"
Action:
"It's clear that you're a truly kind and virtuous disciple, with an innately pure heart!"
"Disciple doesn't understand what you're saying at all. It doesn't make sense."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
"..."
"..."
"I understand."
"Damn it, I got it."
Lin Fan gasped in surprise.
"Damn, are you for real? As I thought... I'm just a bit cautious, but I'm far from being a coward. There's a huge difference."
"However, next, we need to continue planning for Haoyue Sect."
Lin Fan stroked his chin, gradually falling into deep thought.
Currently, Lan Yue Sect has gradually gotten back on track.
But to continue its development, they must deal with those enemies.
Whether it's the apparent enemies or the hidden ones.
The most prominent of the apparent enemies is the Haoyue Sect."
This troublesome Haoyue Sect needs to be dealt with if we want to keep growing. It's inevitable.
Besides, there's also the Hidden Soul Temple.
The Hidden Soul Temple has suffered significant losses at the hands of Lan Yue Sect and the Dan Pagoda, so they're unlikely to remain indifferent. They've been quiet for about a year, clearly plotting something big, but they're temporarily distracted and not paying attention to this side.
Lin Fan didn't believe they would swallow their anger and act as if nothing happened.
Sooner or later, they'll come to cause trouble.
If they join forces, it will be a huge problem.
There are other enemies... so many of them!
Like the Stone Clan.
Or the various enemies that might appear as the protagonist template disciples grow.
"But we have to deal with them one by one. First... let's take down the Haoyue Sect."
"Moreover, the best approach is to achieve victory without bloodshed."
Time passed, and the situation continued to change.
At first, Lin Fan naturally wanted to thoroughly understand the entire Haoyue Sect and get rid of his hatred.
It seemed that only by doing so could he ensure the most stable outcome.
But now...
He suddenly realized that he might be able to achieve victory without bloodshed.
After all...
He is currently one of the candidates for the position of Haoyue Sect's Sect Master!
If he becomes the Sect Master, he can have an insider! Of course, having just one insider might not be enough. After all, the Sect Master can't act too recklessly, and the elders and core members also have a say. But...
What if he could cultivate a large number of trusted followers?!
"I have to give it a try."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.
"Additionally, we can't ignore the movements of the Hidden Soul Temple."
"How about...?"
"I don't feel at ease otherwise."
After careful consideration, Lin Fan decided to proceed with his plan.
He called the Second Elder and had a private conversation.
"Second Elder, with your exceptional abilities and extensive experience, you are the most suitable person to handle this matter."
Wu Xingyun nodded slightly. "This matter is of great importance, even concerning the life and death of our entire Lan Yue Sect. I will do my best. Even if I die, I..."
"Hey, Second Elder, there's no need to be so pessimistic. You just need to do this and that, and this and that."
"It's unlikely that anything will go wrong."
"All you need to do is keep an eye on the Hidden Soul Temple's movements and find out what they're up to. But I won't push you too hard on this."
"Oh, and there's another task."
"There's a 'Lawkeeper Li' in the Hidden Soul Temple who seems to hold great enmity towards our Lan Yue Sect."
"If you can find out his identity..."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
"..."
"..."
Haoyue Sect.
Lu Ming returns!
The entire sect was in an uproar.
Everyone warmly welcomed him.
After all...
Lu Ming's return wasn't just about an elder coming back to the sect; it was also about elixirs!!!
The high-ranking members were thrilled.
The disciples were equally excited.
Especially those like Wen Yan, who had obtained the Broken Mirror Pill from Lu Ming and had mostly broken through their realms. Their eyes were filled with stars, and they crowded around Lu Ming from the moment he stepped into the Haoyue Sect.
They eagerly offered their services.
"Elder Lu, are you tired? Let me give you a shoulder massage."
"What are you talking about? Elder Lu is a highly respected figure; how could he be tired? If you want, I can give you a foot massage instead. My family has been foot masseurs for three generations, and my skills are top-notch!"
"You... have no shame! Don't forget that you're cultivators! You're immortal cultivators! Elder Lu, don't pay attention to them. I've prepared everything for you, including a welcome banquet."
"Hmph! You're just flattering me. Elder Lu, my chest hurts; I think I'm sick and need an elixir for treatment. How about you take a look...?"
"..."
"All of you, get out of here. What kind of manners are these?" Wen Yan scolded the disciples.
After scolding the disciples, Wen Yan pulled Lu Ming away, leaving the others frustrated and cursing under their breath.
But...
Wen Yan didn't get her way, as the high-ranking members intercepted Lu Ming on the way and took him to a meeting.
However...
These high-ranking members also had a flattering demeanor, which made Wen Yan both annoyed and amused.
"It's fine if it's just the younger generation."
"But you elders and high-ranking members, how can you be so shameless?"
"This is outrageous!"
