Chapter 371: Karmic Law Equipment! Long Ao Jiao's Breakdown (Part 1)

The status was merely the most insignificant benefit.

In comparison, the hidden or apparent benefits were truly astonishing.

Everyone understood that soon, even the menial apprentices would receive great advantages, at least relatively speaking, it would be a tremendous opportunity!

"The senior sisters are too powerful!"

"The senior brothers and sisters of the Sect Master's lineage are all incredibly strong!"

"We are honored to be associated with them!"

"I heard that many famous families and even ancient immortal clans are already on their way to pay respects and seek apprenticeship!"

"That's inevitable. Right now, the popularity of our Moon Holding Sect is even higher than that of the sacred lands!"

"In terms of combat strength, we may not be able to compete with the sacred lands, but when it comes to prodigies and teaching disciples, who dares to claim superiority over our Moon Holding Sect?"

"Even the sacred lands are not enough!"

"In fact, it's not just the Sect Master's lineage. Senior Brother Qiu is also exceptionally strong, but it's said that he didn't want to go this time, as if something is holding him back."

"I also heard..."

"......"

The discussion was fervent.

It couldn't be stopped!

Especially among the disciples of Fire Virtue Peak, the Alchemy Tower, and the Bright Moon lineage.

Initially, many of them had their reservations.

Until the benefits were shared, their opinions quietly vanished, and they gradually became more accepting.

And now...

They suddenly realized how ridiculous they had been before.

Still having mood swings?

Still feeling that joining the Moon Holding Sect wasn't a good thing and harboring dissatisfaction?

How laughable!

What was I thinking back then?

No, not just back then, even now, I'm not that impressive! If not for my luck in joining the Moon Holding Sect, I might not have had a chance even if I broke my head trying to get in.

If I had only realized this now and wanted to join the Moon Holding Sect...

Haha.

Dream on.

In dreams, anything is possible.

"People outside are saying that even the ancient clan sequences and divine children may not have the opportunity to join our Moon Holding Sect."

"That's an exaggeration, right?"

"I also think it's just a rumor. Although they may not be as good as the Sect Master's direct disciples, they're still better than ordinary inner disciples, right?"

"They should be accepted, shouldn't they?"

"That's also true..."

"I don't know if it's true or not, it's hard to say."

"But no matter what, it's an indisputable fact that I'm a disciple of the Moon Holding Sect!"

"Haha, me too!"

As they chatted, they couldn't help but puff out their chests.

In the past, when they went out, introducing themselves might not have made them feel inferior, but it also didn't necessarily make them proud. But now...

They were just short of writing it on their faces—proud!

"Let me tell you, yesterday I completed a task to expel a demonic beast, and I met a few cultivators."

"When they saw me wearing the disciple's robe of the Moon Holding Sect, their expressions, tsk tsk tsk, you wouldn't believe it if I told you!"

"That's nothing. I also met a female cultivator, and she actually..."

"Why are you being so wordy? She was just lusting after my body, wanting to be with me, and then coming to our Moon Holding Sect..."

"That's why I asked you to elaborate!"

"..."

......

Fan Family.

As the first affiliated family of the Moon Holding Sect, they were thrilled upon hearing the news.

Even more so than the disciples of the Moon Holding Sect.

After all, the Fan Family had been in a worse situation.

Even during the Moon Holding Sect's weakest period, the Fan Family couldn't afford to offend them. It was only after following the Moon Holding Sect for these years that they had gradually developed.

Their current strength was already comparable to that of a third-rate sect in the upper-middle tier.

With just a little more time, they might even have the potential to become a second-rate power.

Under these circumstances, the Moon Holding Sect suddenly displayed such astonishing prowess, how could the Fan Family not be delighted? The head of the Fan Family even personally led a group to pay a visit, bringing gifts and expressing their congratulations to everyone they met.

They had picked all the best spiritual fruits and only killed the most delicious spiritual beasts, then set up a grand feast for all.

Of course, it was an exaggeration to say that they were treating the whole world, but at least, the Fan Family ensured that anyone who came could enjoy a grand feast!

Whether they were commoners or from influential backgrounds, regardless of identity, they were all welcomed to eat!

As for those forces and cultivators who had conflicts and disputes with the Fan Family in the past, they were now trembling in fear.

"The Moon Holding Sect is invincible! The Fan Family will surely rise with them. What should we do?"

"What should we do? Run!"

"Run? But this is the legacy left by our ancestors. If we abandon it now, wouldn't it be..."

"You're not running? Then I'll run first, and you can stay here and wait for your end!"

"!!!"

"I'm running too."

"Damn, the situation is stronger than us. Our lives are more important."

"..."

The Fan Family did almost nothing.

They simply set up a grand feast for all, lasting a hundred days.

But when they turned around, they found that everyone was gone! Their enemies and rival forces had all disappeared without a trace.

After pondering this, they felt it was completely reasonable and understandable.

"The Moon Holding Sect... Unstoppable!!!"

"..."

......

"Liu Xun!"

"Quickly!"

The Liu Family, upon hearing the news, immediately summoned their returned son, Liu Wan Li: "Go and get the most precious treasure from our family's treasury for me!"

"Then let's go and personally congratulate the sect!"

"This time, the Moon Holding Sect is truly..."

"I don't even know how to describe it."

"Dad, calm down. Don't speak nonsense."

"It's called speaking nonsense! Forget it, I'll go myself. I think you're even more confused and nonsensical than me."

"This is bullshit."

"..."

...

The Hai family.

Hai Dong Po was in seclusion, but he had sent the head of the Hai family, along with several valuable gifts. Along the way, he had also brought quite a few people with him.

"This..."

"Lin Zongzhu, I'm sorry, but I can't do anything about it."

"These people are all allies and close friends of the Hai family over the years. They insisted on tagging along, and I couldn't just turn them away."

"Please don't mind it."

Lin Fan felt quite embarrassed in front of the head of the Hai family.

What the hell is going on here!

Unbelievable!

He understood why these people insisted on coming along.

But, couldn't you guys consider my feelings a bit? I'm feeling quite awkward, alright?!

"No worries, everyone is welcome here."

Lin Fan smiled slightly, not wanting to embarrass the head of the Hai family: "Please, take a seat."

"If you have the time, feel free to tour and visit our Moon Holding Sect."

"Just remember, our sect is small, so please don't be too critical."

"Oh, Lin Zongzhu, you're too kind!"

"Yes, you're too kind. It's an honor for us to be able to visit the Moon Holding Sect!"

"Yes, yes, it's a great honor. We are truly fortunate!"

They quickly spoke up, feeling overwhelmed by the hospitality.

At this moment, they dared not treat the person before them as an ordinary third-rate sect leader. Even the leaders of first-rate and top-tier sects couldn't compare to him!

Moreover, they had come with a request, so they naturally had to be humble.

However, they couldn't directly state their purpose during their first meeting. They could only hesitate and greet him, offer some gifts, and then go on a tour of the Moon Holding Sect.

As for the main business...

Ahem, it's best to talk about it after getting a little more familiar.

...

A wave of guests arrived one after another.

He didn't want to meet them, but their status and positions were not to be taken lightly.

Most importantly, they all brought valuable gifts.

How could he not meet them? If he didn't, wouldn't it be rude?

If he didn't meet them, how could he accept their gifts?!

Ahem...

...

After three whole days.

Lin Fan finally had some free time, and it wasn't that no one had come during these three days; they just weren't as frequent as before.

"Now I understand why those with high status are often so busy."

"Many times, it's truly beyond one's control."

"Unless you don't want to develop and just give up, or you're so powerful that everyone seeks you out, otherwise, you have to take matters into your own hands."

"But..."

"It's fine."

"This time, Xiao Ling Er and the others have really made our Moon Holding Sect proud."

"As expected, accepting those disciples was the best decision I've made."

After that.

He got up and headed towards the Ancestral Hall.

Here, the ancestors of the Moon Holding Sect were enshrined.

Su Xinghai, Wu Xingyun, and the other five elders had been kneeling here for three days.

They were expressing their gratitude to the ancestors for their blessings.

Lin Fan helped them up and said, "I know what you're thinking, and without the ancestors, there wouldn't be the Moon Holding Sect as it is today."

"But if it weren't for your unwavering dedication, the sect would have long been lost to history."

"So, there's no need to feel this way."

"Our Moon Holding Sect still needs to rely on all of you elders!"

"Zongzhu!"

The five elders held Lin Fan's hand, tears streaming down their faces, unwilling to let go for a long time.

"Zongzhu!"

"We are just a bunch of old bones, but we are fortunate to witness the Moon Holding Sect's brilliance under your leadership. How could we not be willing to die for the sect? How could we not be willing to die for you?"

"Hey~!"

"What are you talking about, dying or not?"

"We still have to create more brilliance together!"

"Moreover, is this brilliance enough? In my opinion, the Moon Holding Sect has just started on the right track, and there's still a long way to go. The true glory is yet to come, so there's no need to..."

"Lin Fan's expression turned serious: "There's no need to overthink it."

"Let's just do our best for the sect as we always have."

The five elders had already been deeply convinced, and at this moment, even if Lin Fan asked them to go to a sacred land to deliver a human head, they wouldn't hesitate for a moment.

Because...

Since the sect leader had given such an order, there must be a reason for it.

...

Finally, Xiao Ling'er and the others returned.

On this day, the Moon Holding Sect was bustling with activity.

After a brief appearance, they all gathered in the Moon Embrace Palace to have a 'private meeting' with Lin Fan.

Qin Yu and Xu Feng Lai, who had been away, also returned.

At this moment, in front of everyone...

Several corpses.

"Zhu Shixiong."

He Qiang pointed at two of the zombies and said to Zhu Rou Rong: "I remember you mentioning zombies occasionally, and it seems you're interested in them. I caught two for you, take a look, do they work?"

Zhu Rou Rong had already been examining the two zombies.

Their clothes were already tattered, and ancient talismans were stuck on their foreheads, as if they might burn and disappear at any moment.

Perhaps it was because these talismans were too old and worn out, they couldn't completely suppress these two zombies.

Sometimes they would twitch and convulse a few times.

Sometimes they would hop around.

But these talismans were still somewhat effective.

Even when they hopped, they seemed to lack intelligence, only knowing to jump forward, like now, they kept bumping into the wall, not knowing how to turn, and they didn't show any signs of aggression.

"These are zombies?"

"They look better than in the movies."

Zhu Rou Rong carefully examined them: "At least their flesh isn't rotting."

"And it's one male and one female, just perfect."

"I'll figure out a way to make them breed a few little zombies."

"In the future, if our Moon Holding Sect has disciples cultivating in the demonic path, we can also adopt two of these to fight, it'll definitely be great."

"You guys say..."

He stepped forward, examining the talisman, "What if I tear this thing up, what will happen to them?"

"They'll go crazy."

He Qiang shook his head, "I tried it on the way here. Once the talisman is torn off, they'll frantically attack any living thing nearby, and they'll always try to run east."

"Is it because their master is in the Eastern Region?"

"That's right, this thing has a master."

"There should be their master's soul imprint in their brains, we need to find a way to erase it."

"I'll take care of this." Xiao Ling Er nodded, "The Crystal Flame can target divine souls, so this won't be difficult."

"Then, thank you senior sister." Zhu Rou Rong was very happy, "When I go back, I'll specifically build a Spirit Mountain for them, cultivate a breeding ground, and I'll have to trouble Second Senior Brother to help set up a few formations."

"This thing can't be allowed to run around!"

"We must set up multiple layers of formations!" Fan Jian Gang's expression turned solemn, "Be cautious!"

"Cautious."

"Still, be cautious!"

"After all, these are zombies, if they get out of control, it'll be hard to clean up."

In fact, according to his temperament, he wanted to advise everyone to directly destroy the zombies.

But considering that this wasn't Earth, and everyone here was a cultivator, they didn't seem to be that afraid of zombies, so he didn't say anything.

But the formations must be set up in multiple layers.

"I'll leave the zombies to you."

Lin Fan didn't pay much attention.

After all, he had been using the Eightfold Mirror Technique to observe, and he had already seen them before.

Then, he looked at the four Corpse Puppets.

The four Corpse Puppets were currently sealed by Threeleaf's Flexible Finger Sword Technique, unable to move.

But it was clear that they were still struggling fiercely, never stopping.

"What do you all think about these four Corpse Puppets?" Lin Fan rubbed his chin, feeling a bit of a headache.

These were great!

As long as they could figure out a way to control them and make them obedient, it would be like the Moon Holding Sect suddenly gaining a few Ninth Level cultivators for free! Even though they were just Ninth Level guards, and couldn't be further improved, what did that matter? Ninth Level was still Ninth Level.

Moreover, they weren't afraid of pain, injuries, or even the need to eat, drink, or defecate. They didn't even require resources like medicinal pills or spirit stones. How great was that?

But the problem was that they couldn't control these things at the moment.

Compared to the zombies, which had their master's divine soul imprint, these Corpse Puppets were even harder to control.

They had already carefully investigated and hadn't found any divine soul imprints.

"Obviously, these Corpse Puppets aren't being directly controlled, but... during their creation, a certain rule was already established!"

"After so many years, they've been acting according to that rule."

"If we can't figure out this rule, it'll be difficult."

Yao La offered her own speculation and conclusion.

"A certain rule?"

Lin Fan examined them.

"The strangest thing, no, the common point is their shields, right?"

"Speaking of shields..."

Zhu Rou Rong quickly opened the coffin.

The Celestial Guardian Shield was still lying inside the bronze coffin.

"Master, why don't you try it?"

"Yes, Master, we can't even lift it."

They all spoke up.

Shi Hao also looked expectantly, "Master, please try it."

Lin Fan nodded, "Then I'll give it a try."

This wasn't the time to decline.

Moreover, these disciples, including Long Ao Jiao, had already tried and failed.

Since that was the case, there was no harm in him trying.

He stood up, walked to the side of the bronze coffin, circulated the Three Flower Summit, and used secret techniques like Immortal Fire Nine Transformations and Qilin Technique to quickly boost his strength to the extreme.

After making sufficient preparations, he cautiously reached out to touch it.

However...

The expected reflective force didn't appear.

With just a casual touch, he successfully made contact with the shield.

The cool and smooth sensation surprised Lin Fan.

"This is impossible!"

Long Ao Jiao was displeased, "How come it's so easy for you? Don't tell me you didn't feel the reflective force?!"

"..."

Lin Fan blinked and nodded, "You're right, I didn't feel anything."

"This thing must be broken!"

"I know!" Long Ao Jiao suddenly realized, "It must be because it was just opened, and being in the Celestial Human Tomb for so many years, it had accumulated an unknown amount of power, which is why it had that reflective force."

"Now, it's gone!"

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the shield.

But...

Boom!!!

A terrifying reflective force struck, and Long Ao Jiao, caught off guard, turned pale and stumbled back several steps before regaining her balance.

"This?"

Long Ao Jiao's face changed, "Damn it!"

"How did you do it?"

"Is there some trick or secret?"

Everyone couldn't help but smirk.

It wasn't exactly schadenfreude, but Long Ao Jiao had been acting so arrogantly, and seeing her slightly deflated, everyone felt like laughing.

Lin Fan: "..."

"You're saying, is it possible that I have a connection with this thing?"

"Oh." Long Ao Jiao gave him a sidelong glance, "Are you a bald donkey too?"

Lin Fan: "..."

"Damn it, Long Ao Jiao, who are you cursing?"

"Then how did you do it?"

"Just like this, didn't you see?"

"I'm not sure either."

Lin Fan shook his head, "But this is my first time touching it, and I don't have any secrets or techniques.
