In the city of Yongtian, two prominent families, the Cais and the Chus, have governed the city for centuries, locked in a constant struggle for dominance, all for the sake of gaining full control over Yongtian City.
At the Chu family estate,
“Father, esteemed elders of the great sects, we will arrive at Yongtian City in four hours. This time is our opportunity,” a young man respectfully said, standing before a middle-aged man.
“Whether or not one of the sects decides to stay with us will depend on your sister,” the head of the Chu family replied, his eyes flashing with intensity. If this opportunity succeeded, the Chu family would become the rulers of Yongtian City.
“I understand,” the young man nodded firmly.
…
Approaching the Piaomiao Snow Peak, snowflakes began to drift from the sky, and the sounds from behind gradually faded away.
“Master Lin,” at this moment, the inner sect disciples came before Lin Fan, their eyes showing a hint of something unusual.
The war vessels of Fengtian Sect had already departed, no longer trailing behind, and the inner sect disciple who had taken the pill was being helped away to rest.
In their eyes, everything was simply too terrifying.
“Are we heading to that city or into the mountains?” Lin Fan asked.
“Master Lin, we are heading into the mountains. Upon reaching our destination, we will set up camp and launch an attack on the Xuewang Lion,” one disciple replied.
“Oh,” Lin Fan nodded.
One after another, massive war vessels flew over Yongtian City, and the citizens below looked up in awe and joy.
The appearance of the Xuewang Lion at Piaomiao Snow Peak was a disaster for Yongtian City.
Countless ferocious beasts gathered from all directions, surrounding the city and causing massive casualties. Now that the elders of the sects had arrived, they were sure to resolve the current crisis facing Yongtian City.
“Father, the elders of the sects have arrived,” within the courtyard of the Cai family, a young boy gazed up at the sky. The enormous vessels blocked out the sun, seemingly covering the entire city.
“Brother, how do those ships fly?” Beside the boy, a little girl pointed at the war vessels in the sky with her delicate finger, asking sweetly.
Her long, curly black hair flowed, her big, sparkling eyes gleamed with brilliance, her rosy cheeks showed a hint of shyness, and her full lips glistened in the sunlight.
“That’s not a ship; that’s a bird,” the boy gently patted his sister’s head, a smile on his lips, though it carried a hint of worry.
“Oh,” the little girl blinked her sparkling eyes, thinking that birds didn’t look like that.
“Cai’er, this time, the Chu family probably won’t remain quiet,” the head of the Cai family sighed.
“Father, the elders of the sects usually don’t interfere in worldly matters, right?” Cai Heng replied softly, though his tone lacked confidence.
“Ah, things are not that simple. Even the elders of the sects are still human, with their own needs.”
Cai Heng remained silent, gazing gently at the little girl…
…
Soon, the war vessels flew past Yongtian City, arriving at a wide area near Piaomiao Snow Peak.
“We’ve arrived. Set up camp. This might take several days,” Elder Yu checked the surroundings. There were many ferocious beasts around, but nothing too serious; they could be eliminated later.
Lin Fan stepped off the war vessel and looked up at the sky. Other sects’ vessels had chosen their spots, effectively blocking all exits of Piaomiao Snow Peak, ensuring no ferocious beasts could escape.
“Elder, I will lead the juniors to clear out the surrounding beasts,” Zong Hentian said.
“Alright, be careful,” Elder Yu nodded.
Upon hearing about the mission to eliminate the beasts, Lin Fan immediately became interested. Why had he come out here? Of course, it was to level up. Now, while the big boss was still too strong for him to handle alone, defeating these smaller beasts shouldn’t be a problem.
“Junior, don’t rush. I will accompany you,” Lin Fan said.
“Junior, you can stay here with me. These small matters can be left to them,” Elder Yu didn’t want Lin Fan to disappear from his sight. He needed to keep a close eye on him throughout this trip.
“No need. I also need some training. With my juniors here, there won’t be any issues,” Lin Fan couldn’t really stay behind. If he missed this great opportunity, he would regret it forever.
Seeing Lin Fan’s determination, Elder Yu didn’t insist further, “Hentian, make sure Master Lin’s safety.”
“Understood, Elder,” Zong Hentian nodded.
Initially, they hadn’t thought much of Lin Fan, but on the war vessel, the unknown pill he concocted caused Fengtian Sect to cry out in pain, instantly boosting Zong Hentian’s favor towards Lin Fan.
“You all can go together,” Elder Yu, for safety’s sake, sent out fifteen of the twenty inner sect disciples. If not for needing to prepare the camp, he would have sent them all.
Though he wanted to go himself, he couldn’t leave, as the leaders of other sects would soon gather to discuss the upcoming battle.
Then Lin Fan followed his juniors deeper into the mountains.
“Juniors, I have something to discuss with you,” Lin Fan spoke as they walked.
“Master Lin, just say it. Why the need for discussion?” Zong Hentian smiled.
Lin Fan had already planned his approach. This might truly be a great opportunity. These fifteen juniors were all formidable, and defeating these small ferocious beasts would be effortless.
“I need to refine a pill, but I require the essence blood of these beasts. So later, you just need to subdue them, and I will handle the killing,” Lin Fan explained.
“Understood,” Zong Hentian nodded. Although he didn’t understand why Master Lin wanted to kill them himself, he assumed there was a good reason.
Sixteen people advanced forward.
Suddenly, roars of ferocious beasts echoed around. In the past, Lin Fan would have run at the sound of such beasts, but now things were different. His cultivation had improved, and he had fifteen strong disciples backing him up.
No matter how powerful the beasts, they would meet their end here.
At this moment, a ferocious beast appeared before Lin Fan and his group.
“Early-stage Spirit Ascension.”
Wow, this beast was quite good.
Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. With a flick of his sleeve, he commanded, “Juniors, attack.”
Zong Hentian and the others instantly leapt forward.
Sanwen Chihoo had been wandering the snow peak when suddenly fifteen fierce-looking individuals, exuding strong auras, charged toward it. The beast’s fur stood on end with fear, and it tried to flee.
But Sanwen Chihoo’s fate was already sealed; there was no escape.
Zong Hentian instantly subdued the beast with a mighty pressure, causing it to vomit blood and lose all fighting ability.
“Master Lin, catch it.”
At this moment, Zong Hentian hurled Sanwen Chihoo toward Lin Fan.
Lin Fan’s eyes lit up, and his heart leaped with joy.
“Great.”
“Beast, taste my ultimate move,” Lin Fan shouted, activating his “Flower-Picking and Chrysanthemum-Plucking Finger” technique. A brilliant light radiated from his fingertip, and his true essence formed an arrow that pierced through the beast’s skull.
“Ding, Congratulations on defeating the early-stage Spirit Ascension ferocious beast, Sanwen Chihoo.”
“Ding, Congratulations on gaining one million experience points.”
“Ding, Congratulations on obtaining the Sanwen Chihoo Claw.”
“Sanwen Chihoo Claw: Material for forging weapons.”
“Ding, Congratulations on obtaining the Sanwen Chihoo Core.”
“Sanwen Chihoo Core: A good medicinal ingredient for refining pills.”
At this moment, Lin Fan was overjoyed, smiling as he collected the core into his bag, eagerly waiting for his juniors to bring more beasts for him.
The experience gain felt incredibly satisfying, as if he were cheating in a game.
With his current cultivation level, he wouldn’t stand a chance against these beasts alone. But now, with this group of free, powerful assistants, anything was possible.
The experience gain was so delightful, reminiscent of the time he cleverly defeated two mid-stage Spirit Ascension beasts, Fentian Xijiao.
“Juniors, keep it up. Throw more beasts over here,” Lin Fan shouted joyfully, wishing for even more beasts to come his way for some fun.
