Chapter 59: Twenty-Five Spirit Mountains, Good News!
Chapter 59: Twenty-Five Spirit Mountains, Good News!
Before long, the Spirit Mountain, once belonging to the Peach Blossom Sect but now scarred and devastated, was adorned with the flags of the Moonseizing Sect and the Liu Family.
After leaving Elders Three, Four, and Five were left to guard the area, Su Xinghai and Wu Xingyun set off again, intending to plant their flags on the territories of the Golden Eagle Sect and the Eight Swords Sect.
Longevity Li and his two companions remained vigilant while setting up some defensive arrays.
However, these arrays were more symbolic than practical.
They were not intricate formations, and even a Fourth Stage cultivator might not be able to stop them.
But they served as a message to others that this place now had an owner.
If anyone dared to challenge or cause trouble, they were welcome to try.
First, they must be prepared to face the consequences of opposing the owner of this place.
As they were halfway through setting up the array, they sensed someone lurking nearby, but they showed no signs of panic. Instead, they continued with their work, appearing calm and unhurried.
This was Lin Fan's arrangement.
To show panic would be to reveal their fears, giving away their intentions.
Even if they were terrified inside, they had to maintain an air of confidence and continue with their tasks.
After a while, a Cavern Realm cultivator appeared, gazing from a distance before asking loudly, "Are you friends from the Moonseizing Sect?"
"What happened here? Why is the Peach Blossom Sect in such a state?"
Longevity Li stood up and calmly replied, "We sensed a disturbance here and rushed over immediately. Unfortunately, we were still too late. The Peach Blossom Sect has been annihilated, and not a single person remains."
"This place is now unclaimed, but..."
"The Moonseizing Sect and the Liu Family are lacking territories. Therefore, it belongs to us."
"The Peach Blossom Sect has been exterminated?!"
The Cavern Realm cultivator's face changed, "Do you know who did this?"
Longevity Li shook his head, "They concealed their appearance when doing such a thing, naturally not wanting their identity to be known. With our limited strength, we couldn't see through their true faces."
"Fellow cultivator from the Iron Fist Sect, do you have any other business?"
"..."
The other party clasped their fists and retreated.
Their conversation was not hidden, and many who came to investigate soon learned of the situation, feeling a mix of emotions.
Some regretted arriving too late; otherwise, this territory could have been theirs.
Others were skeptical, while some had flickering eyes, their thoughts unknown.
However, not a single person took action.
They had heard about the recent events involving the Moonseizing Sect.
If the Moonseizing Sect had resolved these crises solely through their own strength, they would have been impressed.
Most believed that the Liu Family had provided assistance.
And now, the Liu Family's flag was planted here.
Even if the Moonseizing Sect had acted on its own, it still involved the reputation of the Liu Family.
From the Liu Family's perspective, planting their flag here was a challenge. These small, third-tier sects dared to act against them, disregarding their power!
The Golden Eagle Sect had already reached a dead end and was being thoroughly plundered.
Eight Swords Sect.
The sect leader's Spirit Sword shattered, and he exclaimed, "How dare you come to exterminate us!"
"My talented disciples have been recognized by the Spirit Sword Sect and have become Inner Sect Disciples, with the potential to become True Disciples!"
"Are you not afraid of being purged by the Spirit Sword Sect for this?"
"Oh? Hehehe!"
"Purged? They would have to find us first and know who we are. Don't delay; act now, leave none alive!"
"Kill!!!"
Indeed, the Spirit Sword Sect was a top-tier sect, and all its members were sword cultivators skilled in killing.
But as long as they were ruthless and discreet...
Fortune favors the bold!
Before long, the Eight Swords Sect suffered a similar fate, and a looting spree ensued.
Even the Spirit Soil was taken.
Then, they scattered and fled...
As soon as they left, many people emerged from hiding.
Most were from the Eight Swords Sect, but they hesitated.
After all, if the Eight Swords Sect disciples had joined the Spirit Sword Sect, and they occupied this place, even if others were responsible for the attack, there was still a high chance of trouble.
As they hesitated, Su Xinghai swiftly rushed out and quickly planted the flag.
By the time they decided to act, it was already too late.
The Liu Family's flag suppressed them to the point of suffocation.
On the other side, Wu Xingyun's speed was also exceptional.
However, without the threat of the Spirit Sword Sect, the surrounding sect members also took action, so in the end, Wu Xingyun only managed to seize six Spirit Mountains.
Then, they began to set up their array.
It was more of a symbolic gesture than a practical one.
...
"It's done, but it's not without challenges. We must immediately proceed to the next step!"
Upon receiving the news, Lin Fan was excited but didn't show even a hint of complacency.
He knew that changes could occur at any moment, so he had to occupy these territories thoroughly within the shortest time!
"Moreover, although the three sects' territories are adjacent, there are other sects' territories in between. We can afford to pay some price to exchange territories with them, allowing the Moonseizing Sect's Spirit Mountains to connect as one for easier management."
Peach Blossom Sect has ten Spirit Mountains.
Eight Swords Sect has eight.
Golden Eagle Sect has six.
Additionally, the Moonseizing Sect itself has one.
If they could secure these territories, it would be a heaven-sent opportunity for the Moonseizing Sect.
But the prerequisite is to be able to hold onto them!
"The matter of exchanging Spirit Mountains with other sects will be handled by the Fourth Elder. Now, it's time for the Liu Family."
Lin Fan smiled, "It's your turn to shine."
How could the Angel Investor not take action?
He took out the Communication Jade Talisman, "Brother Liu, good news! Great news!"
"These past few days, Xiao Ling'er has been in excellent condition and produced another batch of pills. There's even an unexpected surprise!"
...
Liu Family.
Upon receiving the news, Liu Xun was at a loss for a moment, unsure if he should be happy or sad.
Logically, he should be excited, but the thought of going to set up the Array for the Moonseizing Sect and the cost being deducted from his monthly allowance made it hard for him to feel delighted.
But...
He couldn't possibly not go, right?
"Damn it!"
"I've realized that the Moonseizing Sect is my nemesis."
With a heavy sigh, he still gathered his men and rushed to the Moonseizing Sect at dawn.
Upon meeting, Lin Fan eagerly shook his hand and exchanged pleasantries.
He even had someone serve Spirit Tea.
This treatment made even Liu Xun feel honored.
He hadn't been offered Spirit Tea before, not even a sip of cold water.
"This is great news."
Lin Fan's smile was radiant.
"Is there... Ninth Stage?" Liu Xun asked expectantly.
"Yes!"
"And there's also the Celestial Pill!" Lin Fan lowered his voice, "That girl, by a stroke of luck, succeeded in refining a batch, and with incredible fortune, it turned out to be Eighth Stage!"
"There are six pills. I believe Brother Liu will be interested."
"What?!" Liu Xun exclaimed.
Wow, Eighth Stage Celestial Pill?!
Wow!
"Quickly, let me see it!"
Holding the pill and sensing the rich medicinal power of the Eighth Stage Celestial Pill, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Lord Lin, this is indeed great news!"
Eighth Stage Celestial Pill!
Although not Ninth Stage, it was still extremely rare. Taking it back to help those struggling to break through the Cavern Realm would almost guarantee success.
Auctioning it would also bring a huge profit!
"Hahaha!"
Liu Xun couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Lord Lin, I also have good news for you."
"The matter of setting up the array we discussed previously has been confirmed. I've come today to set up this array for your Moonseizing Sect!"
"Indeed, it's great news!" Lin Fan was very cooperative and delighted.
That's what he had been waiting for!
