Martial Path Mountain Courtyard, over at the pavilion.
Lin Fan was sitting with a solemn expression. There were several dangerous things placed on the stone table.
A long sword, a machete, and many small vegetable knives.
He placed his arms flat on the table, ripping his sleeves apart. He looked at the mark on his skin and was deep in thought.
Fortunately, Gou’zi wasn’t by his side.
If not, he would hug his thigh and tell him not to. If Lin Fan died, what would happen to him?
“I know you can hear me, I am giving you one chance to scram out to chat, otherwise, I’ll dig you out.”
“Don’t think that I am joking with you and also don’t test my patience. There is a limit to my patience.”
He was bluffing him.
When he met that person over in the Zen Formation, he knew that this was someone that could be destroyed with a punch. Who knew that he would turn into a ball of flames and before he reacted, merge into his arm?
Who even knew what this was?
Who cared what this was or how important it was? To Lin Fan, he didn’t need it at all.
There was no movement and no reaction at all.
“Damn.”
Lin Fan was furious. Who was this person even looking down on?
He was really quick.
Lin Fan didn’t even say a word, placing the vegetable blade on his arm. What he was going to do next was obvious; he was about to slice down.
Lin Fan tried to sense the mark.
But regretfully, there was no abnormality and it just seemed like a normal mark.
But because of that, Lin Fan felt slightly nervous.
Who knew what would happen in the future?
“Great, since that is the case, then don’t blame me.”
Lin Fan was a vicious person.
Facing the unknown, he didn’t like to think and loved fighting it head-on. Slicing it with a blade would definitely be the right move.
His skin softened.
As he was a dual cultivator and since his physical body was strong, how could a normal blade hurt him at all?
Puchi!
He failed. Start again.
Very quickly, a streak of light popped out.
In the distance, Gou’zi carried a bowl of soup over. Suddenly, he stared forwards at Lin Fan.
Kuang.
The soup splattered all over the floor. The porcelain bowl shattered and he exclaimed.
“Young Master.”
….
Great Zen Sect.
After Old Ancestor Tian Chan returned from Great Sun Buddha Sect, he felt really uneasy and kept thinking about what happened at Great Sun Buddha Sect.
Martial Path Mountain Lin Fan’s strength was just too terrifying.
Even the Zen Formation and Saint Buddha Sun Fire weren’t able to suppress him. Lin Fan even managed to break out of it. Fleeing at that moment was the wisest choice.
He knew that if Lin Fan could break out of the Zen Formation and Saint Buddha Sun Fire, he wasn’t someone who they could handle.
“Did he reach Dao Realm Stage Eight?”
But such thoughts were tossed to the back of his head.
That was impossible.
He definitely couldn’t break through to stage eight.
Maybe because he was still at stage seven and reached a level that normal people couldn’t reach.
That was definitely the case.
All of these things weren’t important anymore.
He felt that the key point was that Lin Fan said the next target was Great Zen Sect.
That was a huge problem.
What did he have to fight him?
Even if he used his head to headbutt Lin Fan, it was not enough.
Old Ancestor Tian Chan stood on the high platform and looked out at Great Zen Sect territory. The disciples were all busy cultivating and the entire area looked prosperous.
He was thinking about telling everyone that in just a short while, a terrifying enemy would arrive. He would wipe out Great Zen Sect. They might not die but he definitely wouldn’t. So why couldn’t all of them just flee together?
Damn.
What would happen if he said that?
He didn’t even need to think about it. They would swear not to flee and just fight to the death.
But the key was that all of them would live but he would die.
The Six Wheel Ancient Temple disciples told them that Lin Fan wouldn’t attack disciples and he would only kill the sect leader.
Just this alone was enough to claim his life.
Old Ancestor Tian Chan paced back and forth and found it hard to decide. What should he do, stay here and fight him with the strength of the entire sect?
Just thinking about it, he knew that it was just impossible.
How much did Great Sun Buddha Sect prepare?
It was sufficient but everyone could see the outcome.
Tell everyone that he was about to be killed and that he was afraid and wanted to flee? That he suggested moving the sect and fleeing this place?
If he really said that, it would just be too embarrassing.
It was hard to achieve.
But apart from this, there was no other way.
He thought about leaving silently and not worrying about anyone. He would take all the sect treasures and head somewhere no one could find him.
Once Lin Fan was killed for being too arrogant, then he would reappear and restore glory.
“Maybe this is the best plan.”
Old Ancestor Tian Chan muttered to himself. Since he had thought about this idea, he couldn’t shake it from his mind.
Before this, he had to do something, something that he might regret in the future.
“Sect Leader, what happened? Was that guy killed at Great Sun Buddha Sect?”
“Who knew that there would be such a foolish person in the world? Even his father didn’t dare to act so arrogantly.”
….
Old Ancestor Tian Chan was really calm. He looked at how the elders were scolding one another and his heart became colder and colder.
They were all so confident just like he was before he went through the Great Sun Buddha Sect matter.
“Silence.” Old Ancestor Tian Chan raised his hands and said, “Great Sun Buddha Sect is already destroyed and won’t ever exist. The other top sects are next, so I want to ask all of you what do you think?”
Uproar.
The elders looked at one another. It was obvious that they didn’t expect this.
All of a sudden, the area was in total silence.
Everyone kept quiet.
“Sect leader, we can’t retreat. Great Zen Sect is a top sect, so how can we fear one person? We swear to live and die together with the sect.”
“Right, Great Zen Sect has stood for hundreds of years here. This is not only our sect foundations, but it is also a symbol of our sect. We are willing to die here then kneel down.”
The elders were all pumped up.
They were all thinking about something. They heard that Lin Fan would only kill the sect leader and not drag anyone else in.
Sect leader was asking all these so as to see how many people shared the same thoughts as him.
No matter whether or not Lin Fan would only kill the sect leader, they had to let the Sect leader feel warmth and sense the sect’s hopes that were placed on him.
Old Ancestor Tian Chan’s heart twitched.
All of you want me to die.
Originally, he wanted to tell them that they were facing a calamity and they should shift the sect away and hide. Who knew that the elder’s words totally shut down his train of thought?
What foundations, what honor…
A bunch of nonsense.
“Good. Since that is the case, then I shall fight with him.” Old Ancestor Tian Chan had a solemn expression. It was as if he was filled with fighting spirit.
He didn’t want to back down and definitely wouldn’t hide.
He was going to battle Lin Fan.
“We swear to live and die along with the sect.”
The elders shouted.
That night, Old Ancestor Tian Chan that was sad and filled with despair snuck away. He left swiftly with the sect’s treasures. He didn’t tell anyone. He just placed a piece of stone where he lived to tell them that he was in secluded meditation and for them not to disturb him.
The elders tossed and turned and found it hard to sleep. They were thinking about other things.
Some elders understood what the sect leader was thinking about.
But they couldn’t agree, nor disagree with it.
The sect’s prestige couldn’t be lost. Even if they were wiped out, it was better if they fought to the death.
They treated the sect’s glory as something that was much more important than their life.
To date, Wangu Tower, Six Wheel Ancient Temple, and Great Sun Buddha Sect were wiped out.
Buddha Alliance had suffered huge losses.
If one didn’t personally experience it, no one would believe it.
Some sects chose to move to avoid Lin Fan.
They knew that they couldn’t fight Lin Fan. The outcome they got was that any fight they put up would result in their deaths.
But there was no one like Old Ancestor Tian Chan who fled along with the treasures of the whole sect.
White Lotus Saint Purity Mountain.
Guyuan’s face was dark and sunken. He felt that the situation was beyond salvage and he couldn’t change anything.
His original plan was to fight to the death with Lin Fan along with all the other sect leaders.
But he had underestimated the human heart.
Moreover, Lin Fan was too cunning.
He only suppressed Saint Ru Fo at Great Sun Buddha Sect and released the other sect leaders to give them a chance to think and even flee.
This was why, with Old Ancestor Tian Chan as the helm, how would they choose to fight him to the death? They would definitely think about running.
If Lin Fan stopped them and made them feel despair, that would be the best chance to unite them all.
If Lin Fan knew how much Guyuan was thinking, he would have been impressed.
Even he didn’t think that much.
Why did he have to find a reason for whatever he did?
“As expected, things have gotten out of hand.”
Guyuan’s head hurt and there was nothing he could do.
He really didn’t know how to react.
Without even guessing, he knew that the other sects would migrate and move. Even if they didn’t run, they would be prepared to fight to the death.
Guyuan was not afraid of dying. He just felt that it wasn’t worth it.
There were also many things he had to do.
Lin Fan was strong. In the past, he was confident in suppressing him but after personally experiencing his strength, he knew that there was no more hope.
Find the other three alliances for help?
Forget it.
They would just be drawing wolves into their homes. They wouldn’t truly help White Lotus Saint Purity Mountain. Maybe at that time, not only would he not save his sect, but he would also draw a bunch of cunning people over.
Guyuan’s head hurt.
He had no choice. He could only gather the elders to discuss this matter. For White Lotus Saint Purity Mountain, this matter concerned life, death, and his personal safety.
If he didn’t deal with it well, it would be hard for him to keep his life.
“Sect leader, since this is the case, then we can only close the mountain.”
“Right, since we can’t stop him, fighting him head-on is just stupid. As long as White Lotus Saint Purity Mountain exists, the world will still be ours in the future.”
“Even if 1,000 years pass, as long as the legacy continues, White Lotus Saint Purity Mountain will still be the same.”
The elders kept silent for a long while before they spoke their true thoughts.
If Old Ancestor Tian Chan had such elders who cared about him so much, he would smile and cry because of it.
