Chapter 47: The Angel Investor Arrives
Chapter 47: The Angel Investor Arrives
Rip!
The sound of something tearing through the air rang out, causing Su Xinghai's eyebrows to furrow. He suddenly turned and stood in front of Wu Xingyun, about to spew blood again.
But then, a voice of laughter was heard, "Fellow Daoist, hold on!"
"These beasts are ours to deal with!"
"Good thing we didn't arrive too late, otherwise, we would have had a hard time explaining ourselves."
"Die, beasts!"
Those few shaggy beasts never expected that several unexpected troublemakers would appear out of nowhere.
Before they could even reach Su Xinghai's side, they were intercepted, and after a fierce battle, they were all slain.
One was a Fifth Level Finger Profound Realm cultivator.
Two were Seventh Level Finger Profound Realm cultivators!
They were all killed.
Liu Xun flew into the sky and coldly humphed, "You lowly creatures, listen up! The Moonseizing Sect is an ally of the Liu Family of Hongwu Immortal City!"
"If you know what's good for you, leave quickly. Don't bring trouble upon yourselves."
"This place is under the jurisdiction of Hongwu Immortal City, and my Liu Family is just a small fry here. If you dare to challenge us, you'll see if this small snake can't crush a mighty dragon like your group!"
Upon hearing these words, the remaining hesitant groups who were planning to leave now knew that there was no hope.
Whether the Liu Family truly wanted to protect the Moonseizing Sect or drive away others to monopolize it, the result would be the same.
Since they couldn't defeat them, they could only give up.
However, the members of the Moonseizing Sect were all taken aback.
When did the Moonseizing Sect form an alliance with the Liu Family?
How come we didn't know about it?!
Lin Fan glanced at the 'Guiding Beacon' and noticed that Guosheng was still not too worried...
Hmm, I understand now.
Lin Fan smiled.
So, this is the Angel Investor!
It seems that the head of the Liu Family has good judgment.
But it's just good judgment, not 'invincible'. Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to add icing on the cake instead of helping in times of need.
Perhaps they lack the courage?
In any case, the Angel Investor should learn from the 'Ice Emperor'!
However, adding icing on the cake is better than throwing stones at someone who's already down.
If the Liu Family is indeed competent, Lin Fan wouldn't mind cooperating with them, or even giving them some soup to drink. If they perform well in the future, he could even take them under his wing.
This isn't just Lin Fan's overconfidence; it's because...
He is, after all, a man with 'cheats'!
Currently, he has taken on two disciples with 'cheats', and as long as they can survive, it won't take long for Lin Fan to estimate that within a year, they will no longer be beneath the Liu Family.
When it comes to survival, who could be more professional than Guosheng?
Now that Guosheng has entered the sect, as long as there aren't any major mistakes, surviving for a year shouldn't be a problem.
Nevertheless, caution is still necessary.
This fellow retracted his hand into his sleeve, quietly merging Fan Jianqiang's combat power while using secret techniques to conceal the fact that he was using the Heavenly Earth Great Transformation Technique to calculate the Moonseizing Sect's fortune after the Liu Family's arrival. The result was a minor fortune.
"The Heavenly Earth Great Transformation Technique is indeed mystical; it can predict the future?"
"But the consumption is quite significant."
"Is it because their strength is too formidable?"
Lin Fan's expression remained unchanged, and he immediately used telepathy to inform the First Elder and Second Elder to welcome them.
Although the First Elder was cautious, he chose to follow Lin Fan's orders.
Soon after, Liu Xun and his two companions arrived.
A moment later, the two parties met.
"We apologize for not greeting you in person," Lin Fan said with a light smile.
"Not at all, we came uninvited, and it's our fault. Please don't take offense, Lin Zongzhu," Liu Xun replied.
During the journey, Su Xinghai had already informed them that Lin Fan was the current Sect Master of the Moonseizing Sect, so although Liu Xun and his companions were surprised, they didn't show any signs of astonishment or dissatisfaction.
Liu Xun was an obedient son. Since his father had instructed him to maintain a good relationship with the Moonseizing Sect, he couldn't afford to cause any dissatisfaction.
Thus, he carefully managed his words and manners, ensuring he neither demeaned himself nor made Lin Fan and his group feel condescended upon. He might be a bit foolish, but as the heir to a prominent family, he had some social grace.
"It's embarrassing to say," Liu Xun sighed. "After receiving the news, we three rushed here as fast as we could, but we were still a step too late. Otherwise, Elder Su and Elder Wu wouldn't have had to expend their essence blood..."
"Please punish us, Sect Master Lin," he said.
"Nonsense," Lin Fan replied, not exposing his true thoughts. Instead, he continued, "The Moonseizing Sect had no prior dealings with the Liu Family. For the Young Master to bring two Elders to aid us in the middle of the night is a great favor. How could there be any punishment? We should be grateful!"
"But..." Lin Fan forced a self-deprecating smile. "As you know, our current situation is dire. While we appreciate the gesture, we truly have nothing to offer in return."
"However, I, as the Sect Master, assure you that if the Liu Family ever faces difficulties, the Moonseizing Sect will undoubtedly come to your aid!"
This statement was well-phrased. The two Liu Family Elders couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Liu Xun, on the other hand, laughed heartily. "Sect Master Lin, why say such things? For us, tonight's events were merely a simple act of goodwill."
"We didn't intervene out of gratitude, but purely to make friends with the Moonseizing Sect," he said, though his heart was filled with cold laughter.
Hmph. Anyone could say such polite words.
If you don't want to offer benefits, it's fine. I never expected anything from you in the first place because I didn't think highly of you anyway.
But with a promise to help the Liu Family in the future, you think you can brush this off? How naive! In the current situation, the Moonseizing Sect might not even survive, no matter how hard they try. But my Liu Family can solve this problem effortlessly.
Do you think the Liu Family would ever need the Moonseizing Sect's help?
It's true that I can't say these words directly, but I can hint at them, and there's nothing you can do about it. However, Lin Fan acted as if he didn't understand at all, refusing to take the bait.
This made Liu Xun feel extremely frustrated.
Why isn't this kid following the usual script? In a situation like this, shouldn't we be engaging in a verbal sparring match, where I ultimately convince you to acknowledge the superiority of the Liu Family? But since you're not taking the bait, how can I continue my performance?
I've already prepared my lines!!!
At this moment, Liu Xun felt incredibly uncomfortable.
After some more rambling, Liu Xun repeatedly hinted at discussing serious matters.
But each time, Lin Fan skillfully deflected and changed the topic, almost causing Liu Xun to retreat into himself. After all, whoever brings it up first will be at a disadvantage.
He certainly didn't want to take the initiative.
But this kid was as slippery as an eel, always managing to evade the topic.
In the end, Liu Xun had no choice but to concede.
Fine, let you have this one.
Just wait, Young Master Liu will remember this.
He composed himself, hiding his emotions, and said, "Speaking of which, the Moonseizing Sect was once a powerhouse in its heyday. Although it has declined now, I believe that under Sect Master Lin and the Elders' leadership, it can rise again."
"However, the path ahead will undoubtedly be arduous and perilous."
"I wonder..."
"Would Sect Master Lin be willing to cooperate with the Liu Family, helping each other in times of need?"
"I, as the Young Master, believe that with this, the chances of the Moonseizing Sect's revival will greatly increase!"
