Chapter 328: War Begins! Moon Holding Sect VS Hidden Soul Pavilion! (Part 2)

"

"Stupid!"

Lin Fan laughed and scolded, "If this battle successfully resolves the Hidden Soul Pavilion, wouldn’t their branch temples become the wealth of our sect?"

"Isn’t it heart-wrenching to demolish your own home?"

"Ah, this..."

Wang Teng was almost dumbfounded: "That makes sense!"

"Should we meet up right away?"

"Yes, after you arrive, provide support from the periphery. If you spot a Ninth Stage, don’t show yourself. Below Ninth Stage... kill them instantly!"

"Yes, Master!"

After ending the communication, Wang Teng immediately used the Traveling Secret Art to travel. Although he had only just barely mastered it, his speed was already astonishing. Despite only recently entering the Seventh Stage, his speed was no slower than that of an Eighth Stage powerhouse, and perhaps even faster!

...

"This is somewhat different from what I imagined."

"It seems there are some extremely rational people within the Hidden Soul Pavilion."

Lin Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

His previous arrangement was to act separately.

By taking out their branch temples, he aimed to weaken the Hidden Soul Pavilion while also luring them out and dispersing their attention.

This would reduce the pressure on the main battlefield and protect his direct disciples.

After all, with their strength and 'fortune,' as long as they didn’t encounter a Ninth Stage or a 'main character template,' they would be basically invincible.

Unfortunately... the plan didn’t develop as ideally as hoped.

"But, it’s not a big problem."

"If worse comes to worst, we’ll fight them head-on."

"Here..."

"Is a rather suitable place for burying bones."

"After all, those devils of the Hidden Soul Pavilion don’t deserve to be buried in green mountains and clear waters."

Lin Fan stopped in a desert with a temperature of at least 60-70 degrees Celsius, surrounded by barren land stretching endlessly.

However, the high temperature was only relative to ordinary people. For cultivators like them, it was nothing.

After a short while, Hai Dongpo, Xiao Ling'er, and Ji Chu Tong also arrived.

Seeing Lin Fan, Ji Chu Tong’s face lit up with joy, but remembering that others were present, she quickly pulled back.

She then said, "Thank you, Lord Lin, for saving my life."

"Between us, there’s no need for such formality," Lin Fan smiled slightly.

The others didn’t find anything amiss, assuming Lin Fan and Ji Chu Tong had a good relationship.

This was quite normal, after all, if their relationship wasn’t good, why would Ji Chu Tong have risked her life to help the Moon Holding Sect against the Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty?

But...

To Ji Chu Tong, these words meant something entirely different.

"Between us, what kind of relationship is this?"

"It means you know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know yours, cough."

Her face turned red: "The favor of saving my life still needs to be thanked."

"As you wish."

Lin Fan didn’t argue, just nodding faintly.

"Good that you’re still alive." Qiu Yong Qin, who had returned to his original appearance, let out a long breath.

"Almost died."

Ji Chu Tong said with lingering fear, "If it weren’t for Ling'er and Old Ji arriving in time..."

"I am the same."

"If it weren’t for Master arriving in time, I would have certainly..."

"The Hidden Soul Pavilion is our common enemy, we must unite to destroy it, no need to worry too much."

Lin Fan gently comforted her, then said, "Ling'er, take them to hide on the periphery and wait for your fellow disciples to arrive."

"Then follow the plan."

"Yes, Master!"

Xiao Ling'er would never hesitate to follow Lin Fan’s orders. If he told her to go, she would go immediately.

Ji Chu Tong wanted to say something more but was pulled away by Xiao Ling'er. She could only give Lin Fan a meaningful look before turning to leave.

"Hmph."

With only two people left, Ji Haoyue rolled her eyes and huffed.

Seeing this, Lin Fan almost laughed out loud.

This attitude... was she being too proud and spoiled?

Lin Fan chuckled, then said, "Guest Scholar Ji, we need to be well-prepared. A great battle is inevitable, and we will all have to fight to the death."

"Do you need to teach me that?"

Ji Haoyue rolled her eyes, "I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice, and I’ve risked my life more times than you’ve seen battles."

Lin Fan: "..."

Right, right, you’ve eaten more salt than I’ve eaten rice, why haven’t you choked to death?

He really wanted to comment on this. He had heard this phrase many times as a child from his grandparents.

Ji Haoyue, however, was oblivious to Lin Fan’s thoughts and waved her sleeve, "Rather, you."

"A mere Sixth Stage cultivator, you dare to come here personally. Are you really not afraid of dying here?"

"You need to understand, you are the sect leader, the decision-maker, the helmsman, the last hope and trump card of your sect, not a pawn who needs to fight to the death on the front lines!"

"If you die..."

"Hmph!"

"I'll definitely laugh out loud and then find an opportunity to make my Moonlight Sect reign supreme once more!"

"Even... I suddenly thought that the Moon Holding Sect isn't too bad either..."

"To embrace the moonlight, but... who says that the Moonlight Branch can only be a side branch? As long as you die, I'll definitely make the Moonlight Branch the main branch!"

"At that time, the Moon Holding Sect will still be my world."

"Eh?" Lin Fan was surprised. "Is Guest Scholar Ji showing concern for me?"

Ji Haoyue's face turned dark in an instant. "I'm concerned about my Moonlight Branch, fearing that you'll drag the entire Moon Holding Sect and the Moonlight Branch into a pit of fire!"

"Oh, I understand."

"Thank you for your concern, Guest Scholar Ji."

"When did I ever show concern for you! Are you crazy? Can't you understand what people say?"

Ji Haoyue was furious!

Concern for me?

I, the former sect master of the Moonlight Sect, am showing concern for you, the sect master of the Moon Holding Sect?

What a joke!

Isn't this a mockery of the world?

How could I possibly do that?

What kind of ability would I need to pull off something like that?

"Yes, yes, yes, everything you said is correct. I believe you're not showing concern for me, right?" Lin Fan immediately replied with a laugh.

Ji Haoyue: "..."

Concern my ass!

You believe?

You don't believe at all!

Damn it, listen to me...

Just as he was about to 'explain', he heard Lin Fan speak again: "Then let me show some concern for you. The people from the Hidden Soul Pavilion are about to arrive, so you must take care of yourself!"

Ji Haoyue: "..."

"You should be concerned about yourself!"

"What's so scary about the Hidden Soul Pavilion?"

"What am I afraid of?"

"Don't be fooled by my current relaxed and carefree appearance. In truth, I've already prepared myself, and I'm not afraid at all!"

"Oh?"

Before he could finish speaking, a strange laughter echoed from the distant sky: "Kekekeke, kekekekeke..."

"You're really not afraid?"

Immediately.

A dark cloud pressed down, as if a thunder tribulation was descending. The city beneath it seemed on the verge of collapse.

Although there was no city here, the boundless desert suddenly darkened.

Ji Haoyue's heart trembled.

But...

In front of outsiders...

In front of this little brat Lin Fan, how could I possibly show weakness?

He immediately looked up and let out a cold laugh. "I'm not afraid, not at all!"

"Good!"

"I admire your stubborn courage, but... I'm also very curious. Just how hard can one's mouth be?"

"I suppose, at the Ninth Stage, your mouth should still be quite tough, right?"

"Don't disappoint me."

Li Hun faced Ji Haoyue and coldly smiled. "What I like most is to make the mouths of stubborn people softer than anyone else's."

"And then?"

"Then, I'll extract their divine souls and torment them well."

As Li Hun spoke, his entire body was shrouded in black energy, looking less like a person and more like those pure demonic beings. By the end, a remnant soul even appeared in his palm, wailing, screaming, and begging for mercy.

"In the end, it'll be like this."

"Watch as their remnant souls regret, wail, and scream. Kekekeke."

"This feeling is truly wonderful."

His words, this unbearable sight, made Ji Haoyue's eyelids twitch, and he clearly felt that the other party's strength surpassed his own, and was at least one or two levels higher.

But...

At this point, how could I possibly back down?

"A demon cultivator is a demon cultivator, and they deserve to die!"

"But I'm not only stubborn with my words, my fists are even harder. Let's fight!"

Dong! Ji Haoyue stepped on the void, and in an instant, the bright moon appeared in the sky.

The hanging bright moon was still enveloped in moonlight, and the moonlight showered down, adding a ray of light to this originally pitch-black desert.

"This is amazing. He dares to take the initiative and attack the Palace Lord."

Li Hun looked at Yin Juechen and let out a strange laugh. Then, with a cruel smile, he charged forward.

Boom!

In an instant, the two of them clashed fiercely.

Various methods emerged one after another.

Secret techniques, treasures, talismans...

They used every means possible.

Ji Haoyue knew that his cultivation realm was inferior to the other party, but fortunately, he didn't show too much hesitation. From the start, he gave it his all and fought for his life!

This was because he clearly understood his situation; he had no choice but to fight for his life!

Test?

Test my ass! No matter how much testing, it was impossible to defeat the other party.

Instead, it was himself who would be constantly consumed and even injured.

By the end, when he wanted to fight for his life, he had already been consumed and injured, and didn't even have the qualifications to do so. Rather than this, it was better to give it his all from the start and fight to the death! Even if I lose, I'll never let you off easily!

Ji Haoyue gritted his teeth. For the safety and future of the Moonlight Branch, he had already put life and death aside and was engaged in a bloody battle with Li Hun, one of the deputy palace lords of the Hidden Soul Pavilion!

...

Yin Juechen slowly lowered his head and looked at Lin Fan: "It seems he's truly not afraid."

"It's not just empty talk."

"With the cultivation of the Ninth Stage, he can still hold his own against the old guy Li Hun for a short time without falling into decline. It's no wonder that within ten thousand years, he could develop the Moonlight Sect to the pinnacle of the first-rate, and even once stepped into the threshold of the super first-rate."

"What a pity."

"He can only go this far."

"Speaking of which, you're the sect master of the Moon Holding Sect, right?"

Lin Fan stared at him without saying a word.

"I don't like the look in your eyes."

"When I ask you a question, you don't answer. That's very impolite."

"I don't like you, and you're impolite. That's a capital offense."

"Rest assured, I don't have any psychological burden of 'bullying the weak' or the 'supreme enlightenment' of 'not killing unknown people'."

"After all..."

Yin Jue Chen smiled faintly, "A demon cultivator, huh."

"I don't care about appearances."

"But I suggest you put up some resistance. That way, when I capture you, my merits will be even greater."

"Otherwise..."

"How boring."

"Boring?"

"Then..."

"How about a change of opponent?"

Hai Dongpo arrived, stepping on air.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The pitch-black clouds froze one after another, and Hai Dongpo straightened his back, standing in front of Lin Fan, facing Yin Jue Chen directly.

"Hai Dongpo?"

"You old thing, you've actually broken through?"

"But..."

"Even though we're at the same cultivation stage, there's still a difference between the third level of the Ninth Stage and the third level of the Ninth Stage."

"People are not the same."

Yin Jue Chen was slightly surprised, "Moreover, you're quite bold."

"Could it be that you don't want the vast Hai family anymore?"

"Hmm... let me think. Outsiders say that the Hai family has some kind of curse. From ancient times until now, only one person from each 'generation' can reach the Ninth Stage."

"And it can only appear after the previous Ninth Stage person dies?"

"So, could it be that you're preparing to die and leave the opportunity to the younger generation?"

"But he's just entered the Ninth Stage, aren't you afraid of the Hai family seeking revenge? Aren't you afraid of the Hidden Soul Pavilion taking action?"

"You talk too much."

Hai Dongpo snorted coldly, "Whoever wins or loses, after this battle, whether the Hidden Soul Pavilion still has a chance or the strength to seek revenge, is still uncertain."

"Mystic Ice Dragon Soar!"

Boom!

Hai Dongpo unleashed his famous Mystic Ice Dragon Soar technique.

His life had been filled with hardships.

For the sake of his family, he had made great sacrifices.

And Crystal Flame was also an issue.

This thing in the Hai family, seemingly an asset and 'honor', was indeed a good thing, but who knew how much effort and blood the Hai family had spent to protect it.

Moreover, due to the flaws in the family's cultivation technique, they had been struggling for many years without breaking through from the second level of the Ninth Stage.

But in recent years, the Crystal Flame had disappeared.

At first, everyone in the Hai family was unaccustomed to this change.

However, gradually, they realized that without this hot potato, they felt much lighter.

Doing anything became much more relaxed.

Even their breathing became more comfortable.

Their cultivation speed also increased significantly.

Furthermore, with Lin Fan compensating for the flaws in the family's technique...

The current Hai Dongpo had completely put aside all his worries.

He...

Was willing to fight to the death for Lin Fan and the Moon Holding Sect, their ally! Whether it's the Hidden Soul Pavilion or other super-premier powers, this old man fears none of them!

"Roar!"

The Ice Dragon roared, soaring through the nine heavens.

Yin Jue Chen coldly snorted, "Old fellow, if you don't accept my offer, I'll extract your soul and refine your physical body. From now on, you'll be the strongest Corpse Puppet under my command!"

"Soul Death!"

Whoosh!

With a wave of his hand, the world changed color.

An enormous amount of dark energy spread out, actually forming a dragon!

A black dragon roared towards the sky, entwined in a battle with the Ice Dragon.

"For me... freeze!"

A cold light flashed in Hai Dongpo's eyes and vanished.

The cold air surged, almost freezing even the space around them.

The black dragon was formed from condensed demonic energy, but at this moment, it also showed signs of freezing.

"Interesting."

Yin Jue Chen cackled, "Moreover, you're quite bold."

He blew a breath, and the frozen black dragon instantly recovered and charged towards Hai Dongpo at an even faster speed.

Hai Dongpo was unafraid, and with a wave of his hand, he took out a long spear. Where the spear passed, the cold energy became even more terrifying, and in an instant, the two of them fought as one, causing the heavens and earth to shatter!

...

The four of them fought fiercely.

Lin Fan calmly observed the battle below.

On the outskirts!

Xiao Ling'er and the others had already unleashed their power, fighting against the eighth-stage guardians and elders of the Hidden Soul Pavilion, who had come with Yin Jue Chen and Li Hun.

Their speed of arrival was very fast. Yin Jue Chen and Li Hun, in their eagerness to claim credit, had become disconnected from their subordinates.

They had originally thought there wouldn't be any issues.

But at this moment, they were being separated.

They naturally noticed these things.

However, they were all at the Ninth Stage, and their opponents were almost fighting with their lives on the line. For a moment, they didn't have time to worry about their subordinates.

Moreover, in their eyes, their subordinates were numerous, several times, or even ten times more than the disciples of the Moon Holding Sect. Even if they were all Celestial Prodigies, so what? With the difference in cultivation stages and the disparity in numbers, as well as the superiority of their cultivation techniques, their subordinates would never lose!

The battle would definitely show a one-sided situation! But...

However, the result was somewhat different from their imagination.

One-sided? That was indeed one-sided.

But the ones being one-sided against were the direct disciples of the Moon Holding Sect!

Ya Ya charged into the crowd.

The people from the Hidden Soul Pavilion around her suddenly laughed.

"A little girl."

"Your figure is quite good."

"Refining her into a servant, it must be a unique experience."

"Hehehe..."

However, before they could finish their words, their offensive moves hadn't even been launched, and Ya Ya had already executed a set of smooth and continuous attacks, overwhelming a large area!

"A flower blooms in a single thought, ruling over the world!"

"Ten Thousand Transformation Mystic Art."

"..."

With a single thought, among the countless immortal flowers, a flower spirit emerged!

Then, they simultaneously displayed the Ten Thousand Transformation Mystic Art.

The attacks of the Hidden Soul Pavilion's guardians and elders were instantly neutralized.

After that, the attacks that were neutralized were absorbed and devoured, and then unleashed with an even more terrifying force.

At the same time, Ya Ya formed secret seals with her hands, and countless divine arts emerged one after another.

In just a short time, she had already slain several people, shocking both gods and ghosts!

"This..."

"This woman is evil!"
