Chapter 391: Cloud Peak Palace, the Betrayal of the Forgetzen Path! The World at War! (Part 2)
If they don't participate, and we give it our all..."
"Then, when it comes to distributing benefits, the Southwest Domain will naturally be entitled to a larger share."
"Are you trying to force us into it?"
Gu Xinglian paused for a moment, then agreed, "Then, let's do as you suggest."
"However..."
"I, the Holy Mother, will be the first to command your Moon Holding Sect to join the battle. How about that?!"
"Huh?!"
Lin Fan's eyes widened.
Wow, I was just offering suggestions, and now I'm getting burned by my own idea? This isn't fair!
"Well, Holy Mother, you're joking. How can a third-rate sect like my Moon Holding Sect qualify to participate in this battle? At least it should be a first-rate or super-first-rate sect with the qualifications and strength to do so!"
"I and my disciples will cheer and support you and the other powerful seniors from the sidelines."
"Right?"
"Haha."
Gu Xinglian let out a cold laugh, "Others may not know, but do I not know?"
"I truly don't understand why you insist on hiding your strength and talent so deeply. It's simply..."
She couldn't help but exclaim.
This is too much! Yes, more than a decade ago, the Moon Holding Sect was indeed insignificant, barely scraping by as a third-rate sect. If it continued to decline, it would become even less noteworthy.
But over the past decade, the Moon Holding Sect has been changing every day, becoming stronger with each passing day. Now, it's not just a first-rate or super-first-rate sect, but a 'powerful' one! Among the super-first-rate powers, it's considered 'upper-middle'!
And you're telling me you're still a third-rate sect?
I don't believe you!
"No, no!"
"Senior, how can you slander me and tarnish my reputation without any evidence?"
Lin Fan expressed his dissatisfaction, "The criteria for judging sects have been established for countless millennia, and it has always been this way! Since my Moon Holding Sect hasn't met the criteria, and the Wan Hua Holy Land hasn't announced our promotion to a second-rate or first-rate sect, then we're still a third-rate sect, aren't we?"
"This has nothing to do with strength."
"Right?"
Gu Xinglian's head was spinning.
What a ridiculous statement!
If this doesn't have anything to do with strength, then what does? In the Immortal Martial Continent and any other 'cultivation world', strength is always revered, right?
You, Moon Holding Sect, clearly have the strength, yet you insist on being a third-rate sect...
Unbelievable!
However, rules are rules.
If we break them, won't everything fall into chaos?
Gu Xinglian's eyes flashed, and she transmitted her voice, "You're right!"
"Rules are rules, and they've always been this way. It's true that we can't break the rules."
"Of course, of course," Lin Fan smiled, indicating his agreement.
"So!"
However, Gu Xinglian spoke again, "I, the Holy Mother, have decided to immediately announce to the world that the Moon Holding Sect has developed rapidly and has met all the conditions for promotion. It is now a super-first-rate sect."
"It will be the leader among the super-first-rate sects in the Southwest Domain."
"Therefore, I, the Holy Mother of the Wan Hua Holy Land, command all first-rate and super-first-rate sects in the Southwest Domain to join the battle. Your Moon Holding Sect can't just stand by and watch, can it?"
Lin Fan: "Huh?!"
"Senior, I was sincerely offering you advice, but why are you harming me?!"
He was stunned.
Isn't it better for my Moon Holding Sect to remain a third-rate sect?
Why are you doing this to me, forcing us to become a super-first-rate sect? At this moment, Gu Xinglian sighed, "You!!!"
"I understand you've always been cautious, fearing that success might attract unwanted attention. But with the strength and potential of your Moon Holding Sect now, do you think you can continue to hide it?"
"This third-rate..."
"This third-rate sect, absolutely cannot be overlooked!"
Lin Fan interrupted forcefully.
Everyone knows our strength and potential? Can we keep it hidden? Who said that?!
Who doesn't know that the Moon Holding Sect is one of the top two sects? But it's still developing!
My Moon Holding Sect...
Will always be a third-rate sect!!!
"Ahem!"
"Holy Mother, I believe what you said makes sense. As the saying goes, 'When the world is in peril, every man has a responsibility.' My Moon Holding Sect is also a part of the Southwest Domain and the Immortal Martial Continent."
"This battle concerns the entire Immortal Martial Continent, and our Moon Holding Sect naturally has a duty to participate!"
"There's no need to worry about being a super-first-rate sect."
"Everyone is fighting with all their might, how can our Moon Holding Sect use this opportunity to promote itself?"
"Therefore, let's not mention promotion anymore, but we won't hold back in our efforts."
"Let's do this, my disciples have already severely injured that bald monk, and they are unable to continue fighting. But I'm fine!"
"I will join the battle, and I ask the Holy Mother to quickly command the powerful practitioners from the first-rate and super-first-rate sects in the Southwest Domain to come and fight. Delaying any further may lead to unforeseen changes!"
Lin Fan fired off a series of rapid responses, preventing Gu Xinglian from continuing her speech.
"..."
"Fine, fine."
"I'll do as you say."
Both parties were, after all, half 'allies', and Gu Xinglian didn't truly intend to deal with Lin Fan. She just couldn't understand why Lin Fan insisted on staying hidden behind the scenes.
Clearly, he had the strength, and everyone knew it, but he chose to play it safe...
Why not stand tall and proud?
When developing a sect, wouldn't it be easier to recruit disciples?
It's absurd!
After putting away the sound transmission jade talisman, Gu Xinglian immediately contacted the elders guarding the Wan Hua Sacred Land, instructing them to gather all the eighth and ninth realm powerhouses from the top and super-top tiers in the Southwest Domain to join the battle.
"..."
"What's this all about?"
"I'm the one giving advice and acting as a strategist, but you want me to personally go to the battlefield and fight?"
"You're the one who's causing all this trouble."
Lin Fan was speechless.
Fortunately, at this moment, the disciples' injuries had mostly recovered with the help of the Heaven-Patching Pills, although they couldn't unleash their full strength in a short time, but... self-defense should be sufficient.
"I have other matters."
"Now, it's a chaotic world out there. Return to the Moon Holding Sect as quickly as possible. Remember, your top priority is to ensure your own safety!"
"Yes, Master."
Everyone responded in agreement.
Only then did Lin Fan nod in satisfaction and disappear.
But...
After he left, Xiao Ling Er and the others didn't depart.
"Master is going, and it might be dangerous. We should help, right?" Shi Hao's eyes lit up, "Why don't we go and assist?"
Xu Fenglai hesitated, "Disobeying the master's orders... isn't that wrong?"
"It's not good." Yuyu was very 'honest'.
"What if Master encounters a crisis..."
"Hehe."
Long Aojiao, at this moment, let out a cold laugh, "Him? Encounter a crisis?"
"If he encounters a crisis he can't handle himself, do you think you can solve it?"
"Do you even qualify?"
"Huh?!"
Xiao Ling Er was surprised, "Long Aojiao, aren't you the one who doesn't like Master very much? Why are you suggesting this now?"
"Nonsense!"
Long Aojiao's face darkened, "Which of my words doesn't make sense? Clearly, it should be said that they all make sense, right?"
"He's just too shameless and too cunning!"
"If we're talking about combat power and talent, you all combined might not even be able to compare to him!"
"In this world, only I can suppress him!"
"In the future, only I can subdue him and even pee on his head if I want to."
Everyone: "..."
"Oh, right, right, right!"
They all said 'right, right, right', but their expressions were strange, obviously, no one believed her.
Long Aojiao's habit of showing off was already well-known to everyone.
Who would believe her empty words?
Moreover...
This was just nonsense.
"However, Long Aojiao's words aren't entirely baseless." Xiao Ling Er pondered, "With Master's strength, if even he can't handle it, we might also..."
"What do you mean not entirely baseless?"
"Which of my words doesn't make sense? Clearly, it should be said that they all make sense, right?"
Long Aojiao expressed her dissatisfaction.
Unfortunately, she was ignored.
Xiao Ling Er changed the topic, "Earlier, I recovered the fastest using Master's secret technique, and I accidentally discovered through observing the Great Vehicle Buddhism battlefield, which is currently very intense, and there are some abnormalities!"
"What abnormalities?"
"The Cloud Peak Palace and the Forgetzen Path have 'betrayed', suddenly rising up and injuring many from the nine sacred lands!"
"Even the master of the Cloud Peak Palace almost killed his direct disciple, the Holy Son of the Cloud Peak Palace, Lin Dong, in one strike!"
Xiao Ling Er's tone gradually turned serious, "This Lin Dong, you should be aware of his strength. During the Heavenly Talent Festival, I fought him, and he's very powerful, a Martial Dao Warrior. Currently, our Moon Holding Sect doesn't have anyone proficient in the Martial Dao."
"In the Immortal Martial Continent, both 'Immortal' and 'Martial' should develop together. I'm thinking, we might be able to take this opportunity..."
"My idea is, Master's side, we probably won't be of much help."
"But developing the sect is the responsibility of each of us."
"Lin Dong is facing a major change, we might still have a chance..."
"And the Holy Daughter of the Forgetzen Path..."
"Lin Dong is fine." Long Aojiao scoffed, "But the Forgetzen Path people, you should forget about it."
"Why?"
Everyone was puzzled.
"As the Zhongzhou Sacred Land's Forgetzen Path Holy Daughter, her talent must be extremely high. If we can recruit her into the Moon Holding Sect, wouldn't that be a good thing?"
"Yes!"
"Our Moon Holding Sect needs such talent."
"Aojiao, why do you say this isn't appropriate?"
"What you say is correct." Long Aojiao rolled her eyes, "Unfortunately, your vision is limited."
"You lack understanding of the Forgetzen Path."
"Haven't you noticed that among the twelve sacred lands, even the Celestial Demon Palace, this 'Huge Demon Sect', has many followers and admirers, but the Forgetzen Path is rarely mentioned?"
Everyone exchanged glances.
After careful thought, they realized this was indeed the case!
Topics related to the Forgetzen Path were indeed scarce.
It could even be said to be 'deeply guarded'.
This was strange.
The Zhongzhou Sacred Land wasn't a Demon Sect, why would this be the case?
"Why is this so?" Qiu Yongqin asked.
"Because the Forgetzen Path is very heretical." Long Aojiao didn't hold back this time, speaking in a solemn tone, "A difficult-to-handle heretical sect."
"The most basic point is, they like to deceive people."
"Like to deceive people?"
"Saying they like to deceive isn't entirely accurate." Long Aojiao pondered, "It should say, the people of the Forgetzen Path are 'born to deceive', seemingly related to their cultivation techniques.
"The more people they deceive, and the more people believe them, the more powerful they become."
"Anyway..."
"No one from the Forgetzen Path can be trusted."
"When ordinary people lie, they mix nine truths with one lie, making it easier for others to believe them."
"But the Forgetzen Path..."
"They're probably all lies, or maybe not even a single truth, just like that madman."
"I'd rather deal with that beast, Ancient Moon Fangyuan, than have any deep connections with the Forgetzen Path."
"If you manage to trick the Holy Daughter of the Forgetzen Path into joining the Moon Holding Sect, or even becoming a member, haha."
"That would be interesting."
"Just wait for the Moon Holding Sect to be led astray by her, and watch as it falls into chaos."
Long Aojiao sneered repeatedly.
The others looked at each other, their faces pale and their scalps tingling.
They didn't know how heretical the Forgetzen Path was, but they understood Long Aojiao's character.
This woman's mouth was as stubborn as a dead duck.
And it was many times more stubborn than a duck's mouth.
The fact that she openly admitted her fear of the Forgetzen Path was enough proof that it was truly heretical!
"Then..."
"Let's see about the Forgetzen Path."
"We'll quietly go and try to bring Lin Dong back."
With Lin Dong's addition, the 'Martial Dao' lineage of the Moon Holding Sect could finally develop.
"That makes sense!"
The personal disciples all nodded in agreement.
Yuyu, ever practical, asked, "But what if he doesn't want to come?"
"Simple," Shi Hao said, raising a finger. "Knock him out and carry him back."
"That's what the village chief taught me."
"When I see a pretty fat girl, I knock her out and bring her back to the village to be my wife. I'll have her give me a bunch of fat babies. So, bringing someone back to join our Moon Holding Sect is the same, right?"
The others: "..."
Xiao Ling Er covered her face and smiled bitterly, "Children speak without filter, children speak without filter."
"We..."
"Let's go!"
...
Meanwhile, at the Myriad Flowers Holy Land.
When the news from the Holy Mother Gu Xinglian reached the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, the elders on duty all had solemn expressions.
"The Holy Mother has given an order!"
"Immediately gather all the first-rank and super first-rank sect leaders and eighth stage and above experts from the Southwest Domain, and head to the Western Region as fast as possible!"
"Yes!"
The sound of a bell rang out.
Throughout the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, a melodious bell sound reverberated across the entire Southwest Domain.
In an instant, some sect members revealed smiles.
"The bell of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land has rung, signaling the opening of the sect gates."
But their companions immediately spoke up, "No, that's not right!"
"The date hasn't arrived yet, there are still two days left."
"Could it be... Did the Myriad Flowers Holy Land miscalculate the date?"
"That's absolutely impossible. The Myriad Flowers Holy Land is always meticulous and has never made a mistake in such matters. There must be something wrong, hmm? Wait, why is the bell still ringing?"
"Seven, eight..."
"Nine! Nine rings!"
"This is bad, the Myriad Flowers Holy Land is declaring to the entire Southwest Domain that something major has happened!"
"Quickly, immediately activate the Sect Protection Array!"
"But why haven't we received any news?"
"Nonsense, why would a third-rank sect like us know about such a major event? If the sky falls, the tall ones will bear the brunt, we just need to take care of our own small territory."
"..."
Many second and third-rank sects and powers only knew that something major had happened, but they had no idea what it was.
However, the Beast Taming Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, Grand Harmony Palace, Five Elements School, and other first-rank sects and powers, as well as super first-rank powers, received the order from the Myriad Flowers Holy Land immediately.
"What?!"
"This battle is so astonishing?"
"!!!"
"Quickly, immediately launch the Sect Defense Battle, the entire sect enters a battle-ready state. Eighth stage and above experts, prepare and depart as soon as possible to head to the Western Region!"
"This battle is crucial for the survival of the entire Immortal Martial Continent. We must win, we cannot afford to lose!"
"The safety of the sect? This battle has been called by the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, and we are already in a battle-ready state. Even if they are our enemies, if they dare to cause trouble during this period, the Myriad Flowers Holy Land will not let them off after the fact!"
"Indeed, compared to this battle, nothing else is more important. Once we fail, not only will the sect be in danger, but the entire Immortal Martial Continent will face historical annihilation!"
"Hurry and depart!"
"Without a doubt!"
"But... why has it suddenly escalated to this degree?"
"..."
The order from the Myriad Flowers Holy Land was not to be disobeyed by any first-rank or super first-rank power.
However, they couldn't understand why such a sudden 'World War' had broken out.
The twelve holy lands were all engaged in the battle, and now, these first-rank and super first-rank powers were also joining the fight.
It was likely that the other seven domains and one state were in a similar situation.
Was this a world war?
"What has the Buddhist Sect done?!"
"They deserve to die!"
"I have a Dao companion currently on the 'frontline' in the Western Region. According to him, the entire Buddhist Sect, including the Cloud Peak Palace and the Forgetzen Path, has 'blackened' and is attempting to destroy the world!"
"What?!"
"Hiss!!!"
"Quickly, at all costs, rush to the battlefield as fast as possible!"
"I'll do it. I am proficient in the Spatial Dao. I'll use my essence blood to forcefully tear open a long-distance spatial channel and send you all to the Western Region!"
"This... can you handle it?"
"I'll handle it even if it kills me. This concerns the survival of the entire Immortal Martial Continent. How can I be a coward who fears death?"
"No, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it, and you'll end up killing half of us, and we'll be doomed as well."
"???"
"NMB!"
