Chapter 326: Crisis! Targeting the Hidden Soul Pavilion! (Part 2)
Moreover, Lu Ming was a Celestial Prodigy.
Such an existence should be in seclusion every few days!
With the optimal environment, an endless supply of Ninth Rank Pills, an extraordinary comprehension, and a variety of Imperial Scriptures to choose from...
Lu Ming, or rather Lin Fan's cultivation speed, was a thousand miles a day.
...
One day, more than a month later, Lin Fan, who was playing with Ya Ya, suddenly raised his eyebrows and took out a sound transmission jade talisman.
"Zongzhu."
It was Elder Wu Xingyun's message!
Her tone was somewhat urgent, "Something's not right."
"I've been undercover in the Hidden Soul Pavilion for some time now, and I've made some contributions, even entering the 'Elite Strategy' level. But today, I received news that two cultivators are constantly causing trouble for the Hidden Soul Pavilion, provoking the entire Pavilion to the point of great dissatisfaction. They've decided to capture them."
"This time, many of our Protectors are preparing to go and capture them."
"..."
Lin Fan frowned slightly, "Why aren't they capturing those who are disadvantageous to the Hidden Soul Pavilion? That's normal. What does this have to do with our Moon Holding Sect? The Hidden Soul Pavilion is in the Eastern Region, and those who cause trouble for them are probably also from there. What does their capture in the East have to do with our Moon Holding Sect in the Southwest Region?"
Lin Fan's eyebrows furrowed. "Who are they capturing?"
"One of them is named Li Fei Yu." Wu Xingyun immediately replied, "I don't have much impression of this person, but the other one, during the previous attack, was forced to expose her abilities due to an ambush."
"The method she used was very similar to Ji Chu Tong, who assisted our sect in the battle against the Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty."
"What?!"
Lin Fan's face twitched.
It really was them!!
Damn it!
Li Fei Yu's true identity was Qiu Yong Qin, which Elder Wu didn't know.
But Ji Chu Tong's 'Thousand Dao Profound Gate' had been a topic of conversation for a long time, and the news had spread far. Elder Wu was aware of this.
Since Ji Chu Tong had a connection with the Moon Holding Sect and had helped them in battle, she naturally wanted to inform them as soon as possible.
However...
What Lin Fan didn't understand was, how did Qiu Yong Qin and Ji Chu Tong end up causing trouble for the Hidden Soul Pavilion?
"Could it be..."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, "Their enemy is the Hidden Soul Pavilion?"
"Then that explains it."
"So, it's all about the Hidden Soul Pavilion?"
Lin Fan pondered for a moment and informed Elder Wu, "Elder Wu, you follow them and inform me of their location once it's safe."
"Yes, Zongzhu!"
...
After the communication ended, Lin Fan tried to contact Ji Chu Tong.
The latter did not respond immediately, and only after a long moment did they reply, "I thought it was someone else, but it's you looking for me?"
"It's rare for you to contact me, what's the matter?"
Ji Chu Tong forced herself to sound calm and natural, but Lin Fan still detected an issue, and his brows furrowed, "Are you still holding up?"
"..."
How could he know? Ji Chu Tong was surprised, but for some reason, her eyes welled up, and she stubbornly replied, "What does it have to do with you?"
"It's just a transaction between us."
What a stinker!
Initially, she had also thought it was just a transaction.
But the more she tried to forget, the harder it became.
After all this time, he hadn't contacted her once.
This made her certain that perhaps...
they were just a transaction?" Even though she had initiated this transaction, it was still...
very painful.
At this moment, she didn't want to think and immediately went into stubborn mode.
Lin Fan: "..."
"It's a transaction, but don't misunderstand. The Hidden Soul Pavilion isn't just your enemy."
"I know, it's also my disciple's enemy. So what?"
"..."
"What I mean is, the Hidden Soul Pavilion and the Moon Holding Sect are mortal enemies." Ji Chu Tong was startled, but quickly realized.
Could it be...
that he was saying this for her sake? This jerk, could it be that he actually cares about me and is just too embarrassed to say it?
Thinking of this, she coughed and said, "You don't need to do this for me, I can handle it myself..."
"I said, don't misunderstand." Lin Fan was puzzled, "What do you mean, for my sake? The Hidden Soul Pavilion is indeed an enemy of the Moon Holding Sect. They even came knocking on our door, almost wiping us out."
"Don't get ahead of yourself. Wait for us to come, and we'll deal with the Hidden Soul Pavilion together."
Ji Chu Tong: "..."
"(⊙o⊙)..."
So, the clown was actually me?
"Pfft!"
"What I mean is, you can follow your original plan and don't need to change it because of us, rushing into action!"
Good save! Ji Chu Tong felt her cheeks burn, and it was very uncomfortable.
So embarrassing!
This self-delusion was really...
"Plans rarely go as expected. There's no need to say more. Your task now is to survive!"
"..."
...
Subsequently, Lin Fan contacted Qiu Yong Qin, or rather... Li Fei Yu.
"How's the situation?"
Qiu Yong Qin was startled, "Master, you already know?"
"The Hidden Soul Pavilion, right?"
Qiu Yong Qin fell silent, "..."
"Yes."
"But Master, rest assured, I haven't been exposed. Even though the Hidden Soul Pavilion is powerful, I will bite off a piece of meat and won't implicate the sect. I..."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to serve by your side in the future and won't be able to contribute to the sect anymore."
"Nonsense!"
Lin Fan scolded, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm a disciple of the Moon Holding Sect. How can the sect not care about my affairs?!"
"Moreover, the Hidden Soul Pavilion is the sect's enemy!"
"I wanted to let them live a little longer, but now, there's no need to wait."
"Let's settle both old and new grudges!"
"What?!"
Qiu Yong Qin was a bit dazed.
He hadn't been in the sect for many years and didn't know about the incident where the Hidden Soul Pavilion blocked the sect's door. He had thought that the Hidden Soul Pavilion was too strong, and he didn't want to implicate the sect.
But now...
"But Master, the Hidden Soul Pavilion is a super-premier power, and even among the super-premier powers, they are..."
"No need to say more!"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, his voice turning cold, "Disciple of the Moon Holding Sect, Qiu Yong Qin Yong Qin, listen to my command!"
Qiu Yong Qin sighed helplessly, but his heart warmed, "Yes, Master!"
"Qiu Yong Qin! The Sect Master gives you a task. No matter what, survive, wait for the sect's arrival, and then together, wipe out the Hidden Soul Pavilion!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Qiu Yong Qin didn't argue further.
But...
he owed the sect more and more.
Could he ever repay it in this lifetime?
However, if he couldn't repay it, that was fine too.
If he was fortunate enough to avenge this deep grudge, he would return to the sect, contribute to it, and end his life there.
Using this life to repay it would be just right.
"There's one more thing."
"Are you and Ji Chu Tong together?" Lin Fan asked again.
"Sect Master." Qiu Yong Qin sighed, "We were together a few days ago, but we encountered an ambush. We fought desperately to break out, but were forced to separate."
"Now..."
"The situation isn't looking good."
"As far as I know, both of us are being pursued, and the Hidden Soul Pavilion has sent many Protectors..."
"I see."
Lin Fan pondered, "Remember my order, protect yourself!"
"Don't forget, don't be reckless."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
"..."
...
"The Hidden Soul Pavilion, a standout among the super-premier powers."
Ending the communication, Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, deep in thought, "Their strength is undoubtedly formidable, but it's not like we can't put up a fight."
"The current me, the current Moon Holding Sect..."
"Hmph!"
"Ya Ya, call Lu Ming for me!"
Lin Fan immediately gave the order.
He was going to take action personally.
But this time, he wasn't going as Lu Ming, but as... Lin Fan!
Many times, he had hidden in the shadows for too long, almost forgetting who he was.
Lin Fan didn't have such worries, but...
he needed to 'take out' his Sect Master self.
Otherwise, others might think his Sect Master self was just a lucky charm!
"However, the Hidden Soul Pavilion has at least four Ninth Stage experts, and even these are just the known ones."
Lin Fan stroked his chin, "In reality, there's probably five, or even six."
"Among them, their Palace Lord will likely require my full strength to deal with."
"In addition to that, the strongest, perhaps, is the 'Void Flame Devourer' variant?"
Obviously.
The Hidden Soul Pavilion is a counterpart to the Soul Pavilion in the 'Flame Emperor' novel.
So, logically...
The Hidden Soul Pavilion's Palace Lord should have an 'assistant'.
Someone whose strength is not much weaker, or perhaps even a fraction stronger.
Whether it is an Unusual Fire or not, is unknown.
At the same time, the elders of the Hidden Soul Pavilion from past generations are also likely to have Ninth Stage cultivators still alive...
"We still need to shake things up."
"However, there's no need to bother with Elder Liu. It's like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken, and Elder Liu is also very busy."
"Let's call upon the Great Demon God, Old Hai, and Ji Haoyue."
"With my true self and my clone..."
"And bring along my direct disciples, that should be enough."
Actually...
The elders of the Bright Moon Palace lineage are also capable.
But after all, it's the Eastern Region, and if the Bright Moon Sect were to make a big fuss over there, it would easily attract unnecessary trouble.
An elite strategy will suffice.
"In any case, let's contact people and save them!"
Lin Fan immediately made separate contacts.
"Oh?"
The Great Demon God, upon receiving the message, immediately responded, "I'll head to the Eastern Region right away. After getting a precise location, please inform me!"
"Good, thanks!"
"Haha, my young friend, I still owe you much. Why the need for thanks?"
"..."
After ending the communication, the Great Demon God turned to his grandson, Shi Hao, who was beside him, heartily devouring roasted beast meat: "Well? Do you want to join in the fun?"
"I'm in!"
Shi Hao's eyes sparkled, "I love joining in the fun the most."
"Haha, good!"
"As my grandson, why fear the Hidden Soul Pavilion? Let's go!"
"Go!"
Boom!
He punched out, tearing through space, grabbing Shi Hao, and rushing crazily.
...
Hai Family.
Hai Dongpo, upon receiving the news, couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.
He was in a 'meeting' with his clan members.
The elders also heard, and at this moment, every one of them felt their scalp go numb.
"This???"
One of the elders, trembling slightly, looked at Hai Dongpo and said, "Uncle, about this matter, should we discuss it further? After all, the Hidden Soul Pavilion is..."
"No need!"
Hai Dongpo waved his hand.
Although he felt a sense of dread, he was unusually clear-headed, "Our clan has had friction with the Hidden Soul Pavilion before. The grudge has been formed, but they've been busy lately and haven't had time to deal with us."
"This battle will eventually erupt. Instead of passively defending, it's better to take the initiative!"
"Moreover, I trust Elder Lin. He's not a fool. Since he's made this decision, he must have a certain degree of confidence."
"This is the best opportunity. We can't hesitate!"
"You all take care of the family, I..."
"Will go to battle!"
"..."
...
"He's here."
Lu Ming, the true self, arrived, and Lin Fan smiled lightly.
"Change."
Lu Ming spoke.
Subsequently, the two exchanged appearances, swapping identities.
With the Thousand Transformations and Seventy-Two Transformations, it was unlikely for the Bright Moon Palace members to see through the deception, and their cultivation could also be 'faked' as long as they didn't take action.
"However, with just me, it's not enough."
Lin Fan smiled faintly.
Lu Ming also smiled, "I'll bring him over."
"..."
Lin Fan smiled.
"Hmph!"
He grunted, remaining silent.
How nice!
You're my grandpa, and you're asking me how I am?
I've been so miserable for over ten thousand years, and you're asking me how I am?
You know the answer, and you're still asking!
"Heh."
"It seems you're a bit emotional." Lin Fan smiled lightly, "It's fine, it's fine. After all, we've had many conflicts between us in the past."
"You're just throwing a little tantrum, that's normal."
What the hell, throwing a tantrum?
What he said made it sound like I was a bullied little wife.
Do I need your tolerance?
Why are you being so magnanimous?
Are you trying to make me look petty?
Ji Haoyue still didn't speak, but he felt even more uncomfortable.
Lin Fan didn't mind.
"Lu, why don't you explain?"
"Yes, Elder."
Lu Ming cleared his throat and said, "Elder Lin...cough, Elder Ji, it's like this."
"Our main lineage disciple..."
"And the Hidden Soul Pavilion has been an enemy of our sect. You should have heard about the previous battle. So, Elder Lin has decided to finish them off in one go. Not only will we rescue our sect's disciple, but we'll also make the Hidden Soul Pavilion collapse."
"But we don't have enough manpower, so we want to invite Elder Ji to help. What do you think?"
"Oh?"
Ji Haoyue finally spoke, but at this moment, he laughed out loud.
"You want me to deal with the Hidden Soul Pavilion?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Moreover, I'm just a guest scholar. A guest scholar isn't obligated to risk their life for the sect. In my opinion, dealing with the Hidden Soul Pavilion is as good as courting death."
"Therefore, I refuse, and it's reasonable."
What a joke.
I've only been a guest scholar in the Bright Moon Palace for a short time, and now they want me to take on a super-first-level power, and one of the best at that?
Lin Fan calmly shook his head and sighed, "As for the Ten Thousand Flower Holy Land, in reality, our sect has little connection with them."
"..."
"You're not going?"
"I'm not going, and that's that."
"But if you don't go, how will we deal with the Hidden Soul Pavilion?"
"It's not like I'm not going to fight to the death. I'm just not going."
"I understand. If you're not going, then it's up to us, the Bright Moon Palace, to handle it."
"But if we don't go, it's not like we'll have any share in the gains."
"So be it. We'll wait for the results."
"Oh, right."
"Guest Scholar, you're just a guest. If the Hidden Soul Pavilion attacks, you can find a way to escape when the time comes."
"With your means and strength, escaping with your life shouldn't be too difficult."
"As for the Bright Moon Palace..."
"There's no other way. Perhaps, we can only disappear into the river of history."
Lin Fan's words left Ji Haoyue completely stunned.
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
"You're not going?"
"So, you're not prepared at all, and you have little chance of winning against the Hidden Soul Pavilion?"
"Then why are you still planning to attack them?"
"This is ridiculous!"
"And you want the entire Bright Moon Palace to follow suit?"
"What about my Bright Moon Palace then?"
"You little..."
"You're truly a reckless fool!"
