Chapter 333: Hidden Soul Pavilion's Demise! Looting Operation (Part 2)

Among them was Wu Xingyun, disguised as 'Wu Zhishi'.

Upon receiving the order, her eyes flashed, and she agreed faster than anyone, but inside, she couldn't help but sneer repeatedly.

Defend and not leave?

Rely on the array to defend?

Yes, the Hidden Soul Pavilion's Clan Protection Array was indeed powerful, and if they truly wanted to defend, even the sect master might have difficulty breaking through in a short time.

But...

I'm still here!

After infiltrating the Hidden Soul Pavilion for these years...

Wasn't I waiting for this day?

"Hehehe..."

She let out a strange laugh.

But then, she frowned.

"..."

"Damn."

"Why am I laughing?"

"Can I get used to this?"

Wu Xingyun's expression was odd as she, along with several other stewards, was led by an elder to guard one of the array cores.

Wu Xingyun didn’t reveal her intentions.

Yet, she had already ‘divine perception linked’ with Lin Fan, who was not far away, and transmitted her voice: “Patriarch.”

“The remnants of the Hidden Soul Pavilion have already decided...”

“Hmm?”

“Guard the spring water?”

Lin Fan’s eyebrows raised, somewhat surprised: “They aren’t escaping?”

“Patriarch, regarding this... I speculate it’s because the people of Hidden Soul Pavilion have a good understanding of their situation.”

Wu Xingyun explained: “Hidden Soul Pavilion is notorious, even in the Eastern Region, where demon cultivators are widespread, it is still criticized by many. If they escape...”

“Most likely, they will will die.”

death.”

“Indeed.”

Lin Fan understood: “That’s a good understanding of their situation.”

“But this is for the best.”

“Patriarch, how are you doing now? Is it possible to destroy the teleportation array first while ensuring yourown safety?”

“Patriarch, I don’t suggest that.” Wu Xingyunyun analyzed: “It’s not difficult to destroy the teleportation array, but I will inevitablyinebe inevitably be exposed, unable to destroy the Clan Protection Array Core.”

“Besides, the teleportation array isn’t important.”

“Even if someone escapes, it doesn’t matter.”

“Demon cultivators are different from ordinary sects; they prioritize their own interests above all else.”

“If we wipe out Hidden Soul Pavilion, even if some of them escape, they won’t dare to think the guts to avenge Hidden Soul Pavilion.”

“So...”

“Indeed.”

Lin Fan agreed after listening.

He had made a mistake of overconfidence in his experience.

Ordinarily, such a blood feud would warrant the destruction of the entire sect.

And even...

a three-year mourning period.

But demon sects are different.

Especially, those of Hidden Soul Pavilion.

Demon cultivators prioritize their own interests and benefits. When benefits are at stake, they will betray anything. Their loyalty is never to any power or sect, but to ‘benefit.’

If there’s enough benefit, they’ll even betray themselves.

But...

Even if some of Hidden Soul Pavilion escape, there’s no benefit in retaliatingMoon Holding Pavilion Sects. It’s better if they trouble of them to avenge Hidden Soul Pavilion.

It would put them in danger, and only aafool would foolish would do this!

In short...

Disciples of demon sects have no sense of belonging to their own sect.

At least...

pure demon cultivators are like this!

If they have a sense of belonging, it means the demon sect isn’t pure enough, isn’t demonic enough.

Pure demon cultivators...

must ‘kill their teacher’ as part of their graduation mission!

And teachers, treat their disciples as blood sacrifices or soul possessions...

Such is the common practice within demon sects.

Therefore, Lin Fan needn’t worry about any escapees.

Compared to wiping out every last one...

it’s more important to quickly uproot Hidden Soul Pavilion.

“Alright!”

Lin Fan transmitted his voice: “We’ll follow Second Elder’s plan.”

“But, wait for my signal, and under no circumstances put yourself in danger.”

Wu Xingyunyun’s heart warmed: “Yes, Patriarch!”

...

In fact, Lin Fan had two choices.

One was to have Gou Sheng step in.

He believed...

Gou Sheng would find a way. Even if he couldn’t break the array instantly, given somesome some time, it wouldn’t be a problem.

But since Second Elder can act, it’s fine to let him try. If successful, Second Elder would have achieved a great feat, and upon return, they would be more respected among the elder generation.

Although, gaining respect among the elders, Lin Fan could ‘control,’ but if they could handle it themselves, it would be better.

...

“This is is one of the main Clan”

array of our task is to guard this array core, and we must protect it at all costs!”

“I know what you’re thinking, and I know you’re afraid.”

“To be honest, I’m also afraid.”

The leading elder pointed at the array core and sternly rebuke: “But now we have no retreat.”

“If the clan protection array remains, we canstillcontinue to cling for a while longer.”

“But if the great array is destroyed, you know the outcome.”

“So, everyone, stay vigilant!”

“Don’t worry about the cost.”

“Any cost, replenish it immediately!”

“Yes, Elder!”

Wu Xingyun blended in among the other protectors, drawing no attention.

She had been in the sect for a short time, and despite her ability to mingle, her status wasnwasstill low. that few people paid her.

cared about her.

“Not many people are paying attention to me, but to quietly destroy the array eye,’t be array core is almost impossible.”

“Fortunately...”

“I’m well-prepared.”

Soon, Wu Xingyun had a plan.

At this level of clan protection array, even within the array, destroying the array core wouldn’t be easy.

Especially with so many people around, and Hidden Soul PavilionPPavion Pavilion on high alert, if there’s any movement, everyone will swarm over.

Dying in combat is one thing, but if I make a mistake that prevents the sect from uprooting Hidden Soul Pavilion, it’s unacceptable.

“The patriarch would never deceive me.”

“So...”

Wu Xingyun quietly approached the array core.

The existence of this array core was very ‘demonic.’

From the outside... there was no need to look from the outside, as it was already in front of her, a tombstone.

Behind the tombstone was a grave.

It was a real grave.

This surprised Wu Xingyun, butbutand also gave her an chance.

“Elder Zhou.”

Wu Xingyun asked curiously: “Is this the array core of our clan protection array? But why... it looks like a grave to me from every angle?”

While speaking, she moved closer.

Her face was full of curiosity.

This way, to others, it didn’t seem out of place, and for the moment, no one suspected.

Not only did no one suspect, but many expressed curiosity.

“Indeed, Elder Zhou, this... doesn’t look like an array core at all,End of Chapter)

"Looking left and right, it's all graves."

"I see it the same way."

"Senior Zhou, could you explain it to us?"

Everyone was curious, and Wu Xingyun felt a sudden joy.

In this way, no one would doubt it anymore.

"Huh."

Seeing everyone's curious and inexperienced expressions, Senior Zhou chuckled, "What do you know?"

"Graves? Not bad, it is a grave, but so what?"

"Who says a grave can't be an array core?"

Wu Xingyun: "?!"

"Is this... really a grave?"

She was somewhat dazed.

Good grief, she thought it was just because the Hidden Soul Pavilion had a unique taste, so they specially built it in this style, but it turns out, the thing really is a grave?

"It's a grave, and an array core!"

"Alright, today, this elder will tell you all about it, and also let you know the history and strength of our Hidden Soul Pavilion!"

Senior Zhou stroked his beard and chuckled.

Actually, he was also quite flustered.

But at this point, panicking wouldn't help, so he could only try his best to explain and seek a way out.

By talking and putting on a show, he could also shift focus and stop being so flustered.

Thus, he took a deep breath and said, "Our Hidden Soul Pavilion is very strong!"

"Throughout history, we have always been strong!"

"Especially the Pavilion Master, who can be called 'indestructible.' Don’t even mention the same realm or lower realms, even those a couple of realms higher might not necessarily be able to kill our Pavilion Master."

"Our Pavilion Master is absolutely a generation's outstanding figure!"

Wu Xingyun: "…"

She subtly sneered.

What a joke, you say he can't be killed even two or three realms higher. If he's so strong, how did he get into trouble with our sect master?

I think you're just bragging!

And it wasn't just Wu Xingyun, all the enforcers were somewhat skeptical.

After all, Blood Extinguishing's breakthrough and being sealed had become widely known. If he was so awesome, how did he get into trouble?

Seeing everyone's disbelief, Senior Zhou couldn't help but frown, "Are you doubting this Elder?"

"Unthinkable, unthinkable."

Everyone said they didn't dare.

But...

Their expressions already said it all.

Senior Zhou couldn't help but curse inward, saying, this Pavilion Master is good everywhere, so powerful every day, why did he get into trouble today?

It’s making me feel like my bragging is being questioned...

How could this be?

"Hmph!"

He coldly humphed, "Every word this Elder speaks is true, are you not curious why this array core looks like a grave?"

"Because, this array core, is a grave."

"Or rather, the ‘corpse’ inside the grave!"

"A corpse as an array core?" Wu Xingyun was amazed.

"Not just a corpse, but a Ninth Stage existence!" Senior Zhou huffed, "an old enemy of the Hidden Soul Pavilion."

"Not just this one!"

"The main array cores of our Clans Protection Array are all Ninth Stage corpses."

"Given the robustness of the corpses, plus the Immortal Qi and energy inside them, and the array formations are 'crafted' and utilized, making them array cores."

"As long as they are timely 'repaired' and maintained, even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, there will be no issues, and they will be extremely 'robust.'"

"Think about it, if one's strength isn’t strong, how could they have so many Ninth Stage existence corpses?"

"That’s Ninth Stage, not some misshapen peaches and plums, nor some ants!"

Senior Zhou huffed and then comforted, "So, you don’t really need to worry or fear too much."

"As long as you don’t leave the Hidden Soul Pavilion and follow the array formations, they won’t be able to break in for a short time."

"And with our Pavilion Master's abilities, they absolutely can't kill him. As long as the Pavilion Master is alive, he will definitely find a way out."

"We just need to hold on until the Pavilion Master breaks free, and everything will have a turning point."

After hearing this, the enforcers were amazed.

"Whoa!!! It's actually a Ninth Stage corpse?"

"Even if we die, we won’t rest easy, tsk, no wonder this is a method for demon cultivators."

"Rest easy? Ninth Stage is so formidable, its corpse is a shocking existence. Unless the successor has enough strength to protect it, how could they dare to rest easy?"

"This is... indeed..."

"..."

Seeing everyone's expressions soften, Senior Zhou finally nodded in satisfaction.

The feeling of being doubted is not pleasant.

Just then, he noticed Wu Xingyun was carefully examining something near the grave, and he couldn't help but ask, "Enforcer Wu, what are you looking at?"

"Is there still a doubt?"

"There's a bit of curiosity."

"Here..."

Wu Xingyun blinked, "Why is there a hole?"

"A hole?!"

"Where? Why didn’t this Elder notice?" Senior Zhou’s expression changed, and he immediately moved closer.

Right then!

Wu Xingyun raised an eyebrow...

"Kaguya Domain!"

Buzz! The array core, along with the surrounding Hidden Soul Pavilion enforcers and elders, was instantly enveloped in extreme darkness. They couldn’t see their fingers, and even divine perception couldn’t 'investigate'.

"Damn!"

"What happened?"

"Enemy attack!"

Everyone immediately fell into chaos.

But...

They didn’t dare to act rashly.

This was near the array core. If they directly used group attacks, what if it affected the array formation?

Senior Zhou reacted the fastest, suspecting that Wu Xingyun was the problem. Following the direction she was in according to his memory, he suddenly grabbed toward her.

But Wu Xingyun was already prepared.

At this moment, everyone was 'blind.'

Only she was unaffected and wouldn't be caught.

At the same time, she took out the small object Lin Fan had given her before leaving and thrust it into the grave!

Then, she quietly disappeared...

Soon, a large number of elders and enforcers arrived.

"What happened?!"

"Enemy attack?"

(End of Chapter)"Not a spy, but a traitor!"

"Where are the others?!"

They frowned at the vast darkness before them, their faces turning pale with recognition. "This is the Kaguya Domain, a unique ability of the Holy Body at its peak—the Kaguya Holy Body. It can block all forms of detection and disorient those within."

"They're probably trapped inside."

"Kaguya Holy Body?"

"Who?!"

"Regardless, we must secure the Array Core first!"

"Quick..."

"Not good!"

"It's too late!!!"

The ground shook violently.

The crowd's expressions changed drastically.

"Damn it!!!"

They looked up, noticing that one of the Clan Protection Array's cores had gradually weakened, now significantly inferior to the others.

"How could it weaken so quickly?!"

At that moment, outside, a deafening roar erupted.

A relentless assault, like a towering tidal wave, seamlessly connected.

The weakened Clan Protection Array was immediately struck, creating a massive gash.

Then, streams of light rushed into the array formation.

"It's the Moon Holding Sect!"

The Hidden Soul Pavilion members' faces turned grim.

"Three... three Ninth Stage individuals, and one with Ninth Stage Combat Power?"

"Run!!!"

In an instant...

The Hidden Soul Pavilion members were all terrified, not one of them thinking of fighting or blocking the enemy. Their first thought was... to flee! Whether it was through teleportation arrays or scattering in different directions.

By escaping, they could at least prolong their lives, and with some luck, they might even find a way to survive.

But if they stayed...

They would undoubtedly die.

There was no way to resist!

"Kill."

Lin Fan spoke coldly, "These things are a menace, kill as many as you can."

Soft-hearted?

Not in the slightest.

Whether it was Lin Fan, his direct disciples, the Great Demon God, or Wang Teng, Ya Ya, and the others, none of them showed any softness or hesitation.

Everyone knew what the Hidden Soul Pavilion was.

Moreover, today's battle was a matter of life and death.

They weren't afraid of the remaining misshapen peaches and plums in the Hidden Soul Pavilion, but the 'main force' had to be completely annihilated!

The Hidden Soul Pavilion members were in a state of panic, not a match for their enemies.

Of course...

Even if the Hidden Soul Pavilion members didn't panic, the outcome wouldn't change with their current strength.

With such a huge power gap, the only result awaiting them was death!

...

Wu Xing appeared, fully unleashing the Kaguya Domain, silently reaping the lives of the Hidden Soul Pavilion members.

At the same time, she was impressed by the treasure's power. "I thought that even with the treasure given by the Sect Master, it would take some time to activate, and I had even prepared to die in battle."

"But I never imagined that in such a short time, the Array Core would be destroyed."

"That's a Ninth Stage Corpse, and it was even specially refined..."

"It's truly impressive!"

However, Wu Xing couldn't understand what that special treasure was.

She also didn't know that it was a special treasure Lin Fan had Su Yan purchase from the Hongwu Immortal City's merchant.

Specially designed to target Array Cores.

Priceless.

...

From noon to evening, the battle raged on.

Within the Hidden Soul Pavilion, remnant souls were scattered.

Finally, the entire Hidden Soul Pavilion was quiet.

Lin Fan had also recovered significantly.

"Master."

Wang Teng stepped forward, "The Hidden Soul Pavilion members have all been killed, but... in the Holy Land, there are two self-sealed old fellows, suspected to be at the Ninth Stage."

"Good."

Lin Fan nodded slightly, then led everyone towards the back mountain.

Next, they used sealing techniques to seal the two old Hidden Soul Pavilion members tightly.

"Don't they like sealing?"

"Let's fulfill their wishes and give them some extra layers of sealing."

Then, he looked at Ya Ya, "They're not good people, swallow them, it's a contribution to the world."

Ya Ya nodded, "Thank you, Master."

She...

Also had no psychological burden.

"Sect Leader."

Wu Xing arrived and reported about the Array Core.

"Oh?"

Lin Fan contemplated for a moment, then said, "Find a way to dig up the corpse and bring it back to He Anxia. He'll know what to do with it."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Wu Xing nodded and set off to carry out the task.

"As for the others..."

"Those who are injured, heal your wounds, and those who aren't..."

"You can start looting." He smiled.

"Looting?"

"What's looting?"

The Great Demon God, Hai Dongpo, Ji Haoyue, Shi Hao, and Xiao Ling'er were all perplexed.

Su Yan, Song Yunxiao, and the others from their hometown understood, "This is our local slang, it means to clean up the battlefield and collect valuable items."

"Oh~~~!"

They understood.

Shi Hao muttered, "Looting?"

"This term is interesting."

"I like it."

Then...

A grand and vigorous looting operation began.

However...

Compared to Hongwu Immortal City, the Hidden Soul Pavilion was indeed poorer, given the many factions and outsiders in the former, while the latter had only themselves.

Still, it was impressive.

They could all have a prosperous year.

Lin Fan forcefully entered the Hidden Soul Pavilion's treasure vault, searching for truly valuable items.
