"

"Please, master, even if there's only a one-in-a-million chance, we will grasp it firmly and change our fate!"

"The Immortal Martial Continent will surely be within your grasp, master!"

"..."

"Kill!"

After a long, long time, under the expectant gazes of the group, the Black Lotus's eerie fluctuations converged into a single word.

"Kill?!"

The Black Buddhas looked at each other in surprise.

"Kill whom?"

"Do you want us to kill each other?"

"Or perhaps... do you want us to sacrifice ourselves?"

The Black Lotus conveyed through divine sense: "Sacrificing yourselves is a last resort. I won't do that unless absolutely necessary."

"What you should do is kill!"

"Watering me with fresh blood can accelerate my growth, and since I've already taken root in the Immortal Martial Continent, all negative emotions within it can make me grow faster."

"Especially the despair of powerful cultivators on the brink of death, which is the perfect nourishment for me."

"So..."

"Instead of being passive and waiting for death..."

"It's better for all of you to take the initiative and kill everyone you can."

"The more you kill, the stronger I'll become. If you kill enough, I might be able to suppress the nine Holy Lands."

"Even if I can't suppress them, I can at least buy some time."

"As long as we can successfully stall for time, there's still a chance for everything."

The Black Buddhas were overjoyed.

"So that's how it is!"

"There's actually such a method?"

"My Lord, why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"You fools, if we had slaughtered indiscriminately, we would have been exposed long ago. Why would we wait until now? This is a method without alternatives, for once we take action, it represents a complete break."

"Even my Great Vehicle Buddhism, and the entire Buddhist Sect, no longer need to prepare any excuses."

"Moreover, those eleven Holy Lands, and all the powers in the Immortal Martial Continent, no longer need 'evidence' to prove how our Buddhist Sect is."

"Because once we take action, we will be incriminating ourselves."

"It can even be said that the Buddhist Sect will immediately become the sinners of the entire Immortal Martial Continent, and everyone will want to exterminate us."

"Only when dealing with our own people do we need evidence."

"When dealing with 'sinners'..."

"...we only need to use force to cleanse."

Upon hearing these words, the faces of the Black Buddhas changed slightly, becoming rather unsightly.

But...

No one opposed or refused.

"Currently, this is the only method."

"Let's proceed as my Lord instructed."

"But before that, those stubborn old-timers in the Buddhist Sect need to be convinced to join us."

"Indeed, I had planned to give them some time to gradually persuade them, but now, there's no more time. We can only forcefully suppress them and make them obey my Lord."

"Indeed!"

"That's the only way."

"And as for those old immortals, although they may only have a breath left, their influence is undeniable. If it's truly impossible, we can 'explode' them, and the power will be immense."

"Let's make the arrangements."

"Good!"

"I think we should divide into two groups, one to 'conquer without' and one to 'pacify within'. It makes sense!"

"I'll take charge of the group to 'conquer without', but..." One of the top experts stood up, furrowing his brows: "Where should we start the killing?"

Everyone was stunned.

This...

Who should they start killing first? It's worth considering.

Killing also requires technique.

Should they just rush in and start slaughtering?

At the very least, they should consider the most efficient route and other factors.

They can't just blindly kill everyone in sight.

Should they just pick a Holy Land and start killing? That's not killing, it's seeking death.

"Everyone!"

At this moment, one of the Black Buddhas gritted his teeth and said, "I have a suggestion."

"Speak!"

"Since we're going to kill anyway, why not prioritize those who have grudges against our Buddhist Sect, those bastards that we want to exterminate?"

"Since we're going to kill them all, let's start with those we hate and those who are displeasing to our eyes. This way, even if we ultimately fail, we won't die with lingering hatred."

"Let's make it clear, it's not that I'm being a crow, but I'm a cautious person. I consider the worst-case scenario first. Even if the final result is hard to accept, we'll be mentally prepared!"

"This... is indeed the case."

"Makes sense!"

"Indeed, it's reasonable. So..."

Everyone found no fault in these words.

It was very reasonable! After all, they were going to kill them all, so they should start with those they disliked.

Especially since they themselves might not have many days left to live, and if they died, those people would still be alive, living freely.

Even if they themselves were to die, those people would still be alive, living freely.

"What you said is right, I think we should do it this way!"

"I also agree!"

"Then we..."

"Who should we prioritize killing first?"

Almost instantly, without hesitation, more than ten people spoke in unison: "Tang Wu!"

"Tang Wu is already dead."

"Then kill those with the surname Tang!!!"

One of the Black Buddhas clenched his teeth, "If not for Tang Wu, how could we have fallen to this state?"

"How could we be so passive, resorting to this method without alternatives?"

"Blame it on Tang Wu!"

"He's dead, so kill those with the surname Tang."

"Kill all the immortal cultivation families, powers, immortal dynasties, and solitary cultivators with the surname Tang... Leave none alive!"

"Even in the mortal world, there's the concept of exterminating the nine familial relations. I don't believe Tang Wu has no blood relatives alive!"

"Even if he's an orphan, how could his parents have no distant bloodline? That's impossible!"

"Since we're going to kill them all, and if we succeed, the entire Immortal Martial Continent will be devoid of life except for our Buddhist Sect."

"What we need to do is send these people with the surname Tang on their way!"

"..."

"Reasonable!"

"Then let's do it!"

"Immediately disperse and search for traces of those with the surname Tang, and then..."

"Kill!"

"Yes!"

"!!!"

...

Inside the Moon Embrace Palace.

An important meeting of the sect was being held.

Numerous direct disciples, except for a few two or three, were all gathered.

The five elders, Su Xinghai, Wu Xingyun, and others, as well as Lian Bo, Luo Yushu, Lao Huang, the Great Demon God, Ji Haoyue's lineage, and others were naturally present.

Even members of the Liu Family and Hai Family were in attendance.

As for Chen An, Li Chunge, Deng Tai'a, and Lin Fan, he had wanted to invite them to the meeting, but they all politely declined.

This was a true internal high-level meeting of the Moon Embrace Sect.

However...

Everyone's faces were solemn.

Chapter: The Gathering of Elders

Su Xinghai, the most senior and revered Elder, spoke with a grave expression, "Currently, the entire Immortal Martial Continent is abuzz with news of the twelve sacred lands entering a state of wartime preparedness. Although we don't know their specific reasons, we must remain vigilant and prepared."

"Indeed, we should take this seriously," Wu Xingyun agreed, following his lead.

Li Changshou sighed, "You all are also anxious, but believe in the Sect Master. He will have a plan."

"Sect Master, you must have something in mind already?" the group asked, looking at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan smiled wryly, "This situation is beyond what words can describe. It's unprecedented!"

"From ancient times until now, such a scenario has never occurred. In this moment, I'm tasked with making a decision, but I can't say for sure."

His gaze swept across the group.

Actually...

He already had an idea, but he couldn't reveal it. If he directly stated that he had everything prepared, it would seem too strange.

So, he decided to guide others to suggest it, achieving the same effect. Why bother showing off himself?

In the end, Lin Fan's gaze fell upon the Great Demon God Shi Zhongtian, the Sea Elder Hai Dongpo, and the Guest Elder Ji Haoyue.

"These three are all seniors with vast experience. I wonder if you have any advice to offer?" Lin Fan inquired.

Shi Zhongtian furrowed his brows, "I may have lived a few more years, but I've never encountered such a situation. However, in my opinion, the Guardian Array must be reinforced and kept active at all times."

"Only then can we have a bit more peace of mind," he added.

"You're right!" the group agreed.

Lin Fan nodded, "Elder Su, please take note and arrange this as soon as the meeting concludes."

"Yes, Sect Master!" the elders responded.

Everyone felt that this suggestion was flawless.

However, Shi Zhongtian only had this one proposal, and after saying it, he fell silent.

Hai Dongpo scratched his head, unable to offer any better ideas.

Ji Haoyue chuckled upon seeing this.

This old man had been enjoying a comfortable life in the Moon Holding Sect, but his position was a bit awkward, as he was once the master of the Hao Yue Sect.

So...

He had always wanted to make a contribution or show off a bit to assert his presence.

But he lacked the opportunity.

Now, the chance had come, and seeing his enthusiasm, Lin Fan was happy to give him this chance to show off.

"Guest Elder Ji, do you have any further insights?" Lin Fan asked.

"Of course!" Ji Haoyue lightly sighed, then earnestly advised, "You young people are either carefree or clueless about these matters."

"Never mind, I'll take the initiative," he added.

He then proposed a series of suggestions.

For instance, establishing mutual teleportation arrays with friendly forces and signing contracts to assist each other in times of crisis.

He also suggested bringing valuable gifts to seek help from super-first-rate and sacred land forces with whom they had good relations, requesting their support during difficult times.

These ideas were quite intricate but highly effective.

The group nodded in agreement, feeling that these suggestions were excellent.

Lin Fan immediately adopted all of them but felt there were still some shortcomings. Therefore, he added a few more points through indirect questioning and sudden inspiration.

"Elder Su and the other elders, please share your insights."

After everyone had spoken, Xiao Ling'er bowed and said, "However, these arrangements are primarily focused on the sect."

"But the Golden Great Era represents infinite risks and boundless opportunities. With the twelve sacred lands being so cautious, perhaps we, the current generation of disciples, should also seize this chance?"

"Please guide us, Elder Su."

Xiao Ling'er actually wasn't sure what the twelve sacred lands' reactions represented.

But she vaguely felt that this situation was connected to Lin Fan.

Or in other words...

My master probably knows everything!

After all, the Buddhist Sect relentlessly pursued Tang Wu, killing countless Tang Sect members, and then, this matter occurred.

It seems like the Eleven Holy Lands simultaneously entered a wartime state, but in reality, the Great Vehicle Buddhism was 'left out'.

The remaining ten Holy Lands simultaneously declared a wartime state.

The Great Vehicle Buddhism, however, appears to have been forced into it.

In other words...

This matter is likely connected to the Great Vehicle Buddhism and even the entire Buddhist Sect.

When Xiao Ling'er thinks back to her previous experiences, she feels that asking her master for guidance is the right choice.

Facing her inquiry, the elders and guest elders all look towards Lin Fan.

After all, Xiao Ling'er is the number one on the Heaven-Defying Ranking.

Even Shi Zhongtian, the Great Demon God, doesn't believe he has the qualifications to instruct her.

Only Lin Fan, this even more monstrous fellow, has the right to do so, right?

Lin Fan smiles slightly, "Calm down, no need to rush."

"Facing an unprecedented change, we need to be more cautious."

"Moreover, didn't you vow to visit the Great Vehicle Buddhism?"

"Wait for the opportunity."

"Later, I'll find a chance to ask the Myriad Flowers Holy Mother for some useful information and try to seek her guidance."

"And if the opportunity is right..."

"You can visit the Great Vehicle Buddhism at the appropriate time and place, perhaps that's not a bad idea."

"Wow?!"

Outside the Moon Embrace Palace, exclamations are heard, and Shi Hao excitedly rushes in, "Are we attacking the Great Vehicle Buddhism?"

"I want to go too!"

"Ah, right, Master, this is Princess Huo Ling'er of the Fire Nation. I heard that she's your disciple, so I brought her to see you."

"I owe her a favor, and I learned their Fire Nation Vermilion Bird's Four Strikes, so I brought her back."

"What do you think...?"

Shi Hao is a bit nervous.

Attacking the Great Vehicle Buddhism, he feels that he should still be able to secure a position.

But regarding Huo Ling'er, he truly has no idea.

Lin Fan, however, smiles slightly, "Since you owe her a favor, I'll repay it for you."

"Huo Ling'er, do you sincerely wish to join the Moon Embrace Sect?"

Huo Ling'er is quite clever.

Moreover, the Fire Nation seems powerful, but in reality, they have internal and external troubles, and their problems are significant.

Although it's said that Shi Hao owes her a favor, in truth, Shi Hao has also helped the Fire Nation a lot.

And now, the Moon Embrace Sect is flourishing, so why hesitate to join?

Huo Ling'er immediately bows down, "Master, please accept my disciple Huo Ling'er's bow."

Then, she performs three bows and nine kowtows.

Lin Fan accepts this gesture and personally helps her up. Only then does he sternly say to Shi Hao, "Take good care of your junior sister!"

"In the future, no matter what happens, you must take good care of her."

"Otherwise, I'll hold you accountable!"

At this moment, Lin Fan thinks of Huo Sangnu in Sin State.

That distant figure in red is the only person that the Heaven-Defying Emperor feels indebted to.

Lin Fan is not the type to let innocent people suffer for the sake of 'artistic expression'. If there is no strength or no solution, and there is truly nothing that can be done, then there is nothing to say.

But if there is the ability, he will undoubtedly strive to make changes, at least to ensure that the people around him live better lives, make up for regrets, or ideally, prevent regrets from existing.

Isn't this more beautiful?

"Master?"

Shi Hao is a bit dazed.

At his current age, he is still young and doesn't understand the intricacies of relationships between men and women.

Although he loudly declares that he'll bring a beauty home and have a big fat baby, that's just something he learned from his uncles and aunts in Stone Village when he was young.

In fact, he doesn't understand any of this.

Even if he brings a beauty home, he probably wouldn't know how to have a baby.

Now, with Lin Fan's stern warning, he is naturally dumbfounded.

"Ahem."

Lin Fan also smiles slightly, "I just mentioned it in passing. In any case, whether it's you or us, we all..."

"We all need to take responsibility for those we care about."

"Remember that, okay?"

Shi Hao seems to understand, but nods, "Yes, yes!"

"Then that's good."

"Since we've more or less decided, let's proceed with this arrangement."

Lin Fan waves his hand, "Shi Hao, you go with Huo Ling'er to familiarize yourselves with our Moon Embrace Sect. Oh, and you can bring Huo Ling'er's sister along, they're so similar in temperament that I almost suspect they're twins."

Huo Kunlun scratches his head, "Sect Master, please don't joke like that."

"I... only have one daughter."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughs.

Although they are a bit anxious in their hearts, they still need to live their lives.

Preparations that need to be made will be made.

But this life, they still need to live.

"Ling'er, Fan, and Yaya, you four stay."

As the crowd disperses, Lin Fan keeps Xiao Ling'er and the other three.

There's no need to mention Xiao Ling'er; as the number one on the Heaven-Defying Ranking and the template for the Fire Emperor, Lin Fan trusts her completely.

Fan is even more so.

Yaya has also grown up and is much more lively and adorable than her original self in the novel. Moreover, compared to her peers, she is much more reliable.

As for Qin Yu...

She is equally reliable.

In summary, Lin Fan's four personal disciples are all exceptionally dependable!

"Do you know why I'm keeping you four here?"

The four all shake their heads.

Lin Fan rolls his eyes, "Don't pretend!"

These four disciples of his...

Well, they're all fine, but their thoughts are a bit deep.
