Chapter Fifteen: Murder and Robbery

  Flying closer, only to see the Fire Dragon True Person standing alone on the top of the Flipping Cloud Peak, four Tianhai Sect disciples surrounding the mountain peak. The Fire Dragon True Person's true fire protected his body as he manipulated two fire dragon whips to chase and lash at the Tianhai Sect disciples. Whenever the fire dragon whip struck a Tianhai Sect disciple, it would send them flying out of the area, half a mile away. The Tianhai Sect disciples were completely unable to get close, their flying swords and treasures sent out being easily deflected by the fire dragon whips. The Tianhai Sect disciples also knew they were no match, but for the sake of their sect's reputation, they could only try to hold on for a little while longer before finding an excuse to leave.

  According to a certain book, the fourth disciple of the Tianhai Sect was defeated by Huo Long Zhenren at one glance.

  According to a certain document: The fourth disciple of the Tianhai Sect fought bitterly for ten hours, but ultimately could not defeat the Fire Dragon True Person and was defeated.

  There is an essential difference between the two.

  Everyone watched, but it was not exciting at all. The difference in strength was too great, and Huo Long Zhen Ren only used three moves to take the lead. Lin Fan watched for a while, preparing to leave, when suddenly a sword light flashed out from the side of Yun Feng, shooting out of the cloud sea, flying up the mountain peak, and striking Huo Long Zhen Ren's back with a thunderous momentum. Huo Long Zhen Ren's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned around to counterattack with a fire dragon whip. Unexpectedly, a burst of fresh blood spurted out from the sword light, hitting the fire dragon whip, causing its flames to extinguish instantly. The sword light broke through the fire dragon whip without mercy, striking Huo Long Zhen Ren's body. Although Huo Long Zhen Ren had protective true energy, he was severely injured by this strike, flying out half a mile away, spitting out fresh blood from his mouth.

  The sword light did not stay, rushing down the mountain peak, entering the sea of clouds, and disappearing in front of everyone's eyes.

  "Blood Shadow Sect." The onlookers let out a soft gasp, and even the Tian Hai sect's disciples abandoned Huo Long True Person, riding their flying swords into the clouds. Meanwhile, the nearby Orthodox sect's disciples took action, beginning to surround and pursue that sword light.

  Lin nodded, no mistake it was the Blood Shadow Sect. The Blood Shadow Sect was an evil sect, and one of its most notorious spells that only elite disciples could learn was the Blood Shadow Great Technique. One of the techniques used one's own blood to pollute magical artifacts, causing them to temporarily lose their attack and defense abilities, allowing for a sneak attack on the target's true body. This person may not have been stronger than Huo Long Zhenren, but catching him off guard, he was able to severely injure Huo Long Zhenren with just one strike.

  The evil cult is the mortal enemy of the demonic path, and as soon as it appears, all the major and minor sects join forces to take action. However, some scattered individuals have not joined the alliance, and some are even resentful of the evil cult's actions, joining in the pursuit. Others, however, remain neutral and do not take action.

  ……

  Fanyun Peak, as its name suggests, has countless white clouds rolling under the mountain peak. The cloud layer is very thick, and the people of Xueying Sect know that once they show their faces, they will be beaten by a group, so they will escape into the sea of clouds after one hit. The Orthodox people are obviously not experienced enough in battle, and with so many people rushing into the sea of clouds together, it is bound to happen that there will be misinjuries.

  Lin Fan's experience is quite rich, and his thinking is varied. He immediately saw a point, that is, the mountain stream under Fengyun Peak. First of all, why did the evil sect take action? It must not be to fight for justice, but definitely for benefits. What benefits do the people of the evil sect have? Even if they killed Huo Long Zhenren, everyone would not let him occupy Fengyun Peak. His appearance instead made everyone more united and determined to work together against a common enemy.

  What's the benefit of that? Unless it's a mole. Set up an ambush in the Cloud Sea, lure everyone to chase after them, and then take advantage of the chaos to activate the formation, making the Cloud Sea chaotic. Murdering and robbing is the evil sect's favorite method, and also the most despised method by everyone. Generally divided into two types: one is to target a specific person's treasure, find ways to kill that person. The other is indiscriminately killing cultivators, taking whatever treasures they have.

  Lin Fan drove the wind symbol to the foot of the mountain stream, although there were no treasures falling from the peak, but there were many stones and other things, which also proved that someone had crashed into the mountain or attacked the mountain body.

  Approaching the bottom of the mountain stream, Lin Fan scattered the Wind Symbol, borrowing the clear wind to slowly fall down, and at the same time, he stuck a talisman on himself, called the Soul-Closing Symbol. Within a certain period of time, it could make him disguise as an ordinary mortal without any cultivation, so that he wouldn't be sensed by others. However, this also depends on one's cultivation level.

  At the bottom of the mountain stream, there was a patch of fresh flowers and green grass. A man sat inside a magic array, with candles lit around it. The man's eyes were bleeding, and he muttered to himself while sitting in the array. The blood from his eyes slowly flowed down to his cheeks, when suddenly he felt someone approaching, immediately opening his eyes wide, holding a bloody banner standing guard.

  "Heaven and earth, the law of blood is natural." A white-clad figure turned from the side of the mountain stream, landing like a feather a hundred paces away from the man. Lin Fan looked up to see that it was none other than Ximen Shuai, that scoundrel.

  The man was taken aback: "Who are you?"

  Ximen's arms spread wide, the blood vessels on his face and arms bulging out, pulsating non-stop, ferocious and terrifying: "Brother has courtesy, I am a Blood Shadow Sect bloodline disciple, Shangguan Xun."

  "Why have you come here?"

  "I heard that the Jiulang Mountains have produced a treasure, and I thought I'd try to get some cheap deals. Who would have thought that Shixiong had already made thorough arrangements."

  The man obviously put down some of his guard, this move is the true energy circulation method of the Blood Shadow Sect, outsiders don't understand it, even if they do, they can't cultivate it. The man said: "Junior brother has come just in time, junior sister is luring the righteous thief into the array above, you help me protect the law." Whenever any formation is activated, the main array person will inevitably be extremely weak.

  Lin was shocked and amazed, Ximen Commander not only being the disciple of the former Mo Jiao's Demon King but also the disciple of the Blood Shadow Sect. I'm impressed, you're amazing, two sworn enemy sects, yet you can mix and mingle between them.

  "Respectful brotherly order." Ximen Commander drew out a bloody line, and the blood retreated to about ten steps near the man.

  The man nodded, sat down with his eyes closed, and continued to cast his spell. Ximen Shuai suddenly grinned at Lin Fan's hiding position, beckoned with his left hand, then instantly changed his expression. His right hand transformed into a large hand, directly pinching the man's throat, pressing him to the ground. The man was shocked: "Junior brother? Aren't you afraid of the sect rules?"

  Ximen smiled and said with a laugh, "Go tell Yan Wang about it."

  Ximen Shuai used his first move, sealing the man's magical powers and rendering him unable to mobilize his true energy. The乾坤圈 (Qian Kun Quan) ruthlessly chopped off the man's head, beheading him. Ximen Shuai walked over, retrieved a red gemstone from the corpse: "For peeping, this Blood Soul Banner is yours." With a wave of his hand, the white Blood Soul Banner fell before Lin Fan.

  Lin Fan smiled and said, "No pay without work."

  Ximen Commander threw the ruby into the Qiankun Ring and said, "I've never had any rules when giving things to people. Of course, if you're willing to tell me some things, I'll be very grateful."

  "What's wrong?"

  "That day at the inn, it was a certain noble person who secretly helped you."

  Lin Fan gazed at the Blood Soul Banner and sighed, "The Blood Soul Banner is a treasure refined by the Blood Shadow Sect's law door. Its uses are endless. However, the prerequisite is that you must know the Blood Shadow Heart Method; otherwise, even the Great Luo Golden Immortal would be unable to activate it."

  "What a coincidence." Ximen Shuai took out a Taoist book: "Blood Shadow Secret Book, which records the method of Blood Shadow Sect's entry-level Qi cultivation, as well as the wonders of the Blood Soul Banner."

  "Ximen Shuai, you're too despicable!" Lin Fan said: "Once I practice the Blood Shadow Secret Book, I will inevitably go crazy."

  Ximen Shuai took out a small tripod: "This treasure is called the Sanqing Tripod, and after refining it, it can protect your mind."

  "You're too polite, to inquire about a piece of news, you gave away the Blood Soul Banner, and also gave away the Blood Shadow Secret Manual, and even gave away the Three Clear Tripod." Lin Fan smiled, but suddenly his face stiffened, he fell to the ground with his four limbs in the air, his eyes wide open, motionless.
