Chapter 31: The Army is in Danger if it does not Fight

  Qianyu Zhenren listened to Lin Fan's introduction, looking at the remaining chessboard and smiling. The sect master and disciples were all playing tricks in the chess game, which was good. She had always been worried that if another evil war came again, the evil people would use cunning tactics, and the righteous path would be at a disadvantage, needing to suffer greatly. Having a few cunning disciples wasn't a bad thing either. She believed that the sect master had a sense of proportion and knew how to teach Lin Fan what was sinister and what was wise. Qianyu Zhenren asked: "Lin Fan, what do you think?"

  Lin Fan replied: "General Ximen's intention is not in the wine."

  "Oh?" Senba Tsutomu smiled and asked: "How did you figure it out?"

  "What kind of person is Xi Men Shuai, and what kind of people are the Demon Sect? In Western Continent, it's the Demon Sect's territory. Xi Men Shuai's Tears of Blood Sword wasn't taken by the Demon Sect, but was instead stolen by the Zi Tong Gate. This is a lie." Lin Fan said: "However, Bai Yan Mo Jun must have something that Xi Men Shuai wants. The reason he lied to me, I think this thing might be needed by our Yun Qing Gate or maybe even me."

  "Unexpectedly, the Righteous Sect had a disciple with seven apertures. Thousand Feather True Person nodded: "That's right, I think West Gate Commander was after the Purple Eyed Treasure, Lei Yun Jade. The Hundred Eyes Demon King was originally an elite disciple of the South Continent's Lei Mountain, but he had ulterior motives. Due to his resentment towards the Sect Master's punishment, during an outing with the Sect Master, he ambushed and killed him, seizing the Sect Master's treasure, Lei Yun Jade, and fled to the Desolate Lands. Later, he was taken in by the Purple Eyed Gate. The Sect Master of Lei Mountain wasn't an ordinary person; before his death, he set up a restriction on Lei Yun Jade, which has prevented the Hundred Eyes Demon King from refining it for a hundred years."

  Lin Fan asked: "Lei Yun Hu Po?"

  "This is good, the Amber can be revived, driving the Amber, the power of the Thunderbolt is unmatched. The Thundercloud Amber is a treasure for one person, too luxurious, the Thundercloud Amber is a treasure of the formation, it can make the formation's thunder and lightning power endless. Not only the evil sects, but also the Orthodox and Demon Cults have ambitions for the Thundercloud Amber. Ximen Shuai has stolen the Blood Sword and now has his sights on the Thundercloud Lake, it seems that Ximen Shuai is going to set up a formation and open the mountain."

  The Tianmo Blood Formation is complete, and with the assistance of Leiyun Amber, even the Demon Sect will have to be cautious. Ximen Shuai can find a mountain peak and establish his own sect. Alas... I originally thought that Ximen Shuai was shameless, but he still had some elegance to him. Who would have thought that his way of thinking is so vulgar? What's good about establishing one's own sect? There are too many disciples to manage, it's boring.

  Qian Yu Zhen Ren said, "The vast and desolate land is not the Jiulang Mountains, evil people emerge in large numbers, with many cunning plans, and great strength. The disciples of the Demon Sect who enter the vast and desolate land to train, out of ten, only two or three return."

  Lin Fan said: "Does the sect leader mean he won't stop me from going?"

  "Hah, when did the leader of Zhengyi Sect ever consider the feelings of others?" The words of Qianyu Zhenren carried a somewhat unpleasant tone, which couldn't be blamed on her. The leader of Zhengyi Sect had deceived Lin Fan, the founder of Dan Medicine Sect, promising to widely accept disciples but ultimately reneging on his promise. Qianyu Zhenren calculated that since the sect leader was dead and didn't fear boiling water, they might as well eat the medicine and slowly recruit new disciples later; if they wanted to fight, they could just have a big fight once and for all.

  Senya immediately knew he had misspoken, this sect master was his own senior brother, he could tease him, but Lin Fan was a junior and couldn't be spoken to like that. Senya coughed: "If you want to go, then go."

  "Yes!"

  "En." Qian Yu Zhen Ren left, why let Lin Fan go on an adventure? Because according to the Demon Sect's Demon King Fei Jian Zhuan Shu, within tens of years, there may be changes in the vast and desolate land, and it is difficult to guarantee that a great battle between good and evil will not occur again. Not only Lin Fan, Qian Yu Zhen Ren also wants to send young disciples for training. Currently, he is contacting various famous schools of the righteous path, preparing for a martial arts competition, allowing the new generation of disciples to gain more practical experience, observe others' strengths, and reflect on their own weaknesses. Orthodox cultivators often seek longevity, purify their minds, and have few desires, which is a good thing when maintaining achievements, but a bad thing in times of crisis.

  Soldiers must fight or perish!

  ……

  Qili Pavilion, Ximen Shuai looked left and right, Lin Fan said: "I wore it."

  "Cut!" Ximen Shuai stepped on the ancient sword and rose, Lin Fan summoned a bamboo sword to ride, Ximen Shuai asked: "Where are your talismans and brush?"

  This time Lin Fan went out, wearing a green Taoist robe, with a green jade Buddha knife wrapped in cloth on his back, and at most a few gold leaves and scattered silver coins in his arms, nothing else on him.

  Lin Fanruo smiled: "It's been a year, there should be some progress."

  "Oh?" Ximen said with a smile: "I'm looking forward to it... This knife was taken from Jiulang Mountain, wasn't it?"

  "Nonsense, there's no treasure in the Jiulang Mountains at all."

  "Heh heh." Ximen Shuai also didn't say anything directly: "Refined?"

  "I said you're being too meticulous, right, my master gave me a letter for you."

  "……" Ximen Shuai took over the letter, opened it and read it. The general meaning was that you invited our people to go to the desolate land of Cang Mang, I agreed, but if you harm our people, Yun Qing Shan will not let you off. Ximen Shuai sneered: "Qian Yu Zhen Ren is also a master of his generation, how can he look down on the demonic sect like this."

  Ximen Shuai has always been considered the orthodox master of the demonic sect, after all, he is the closed-door disciple of the former Demon Lord and has the guts to say so. The demonic sect has never taken real action against Ximen Shuai, also considering that driving out the Demon Lord at that time was somewhat against the rules of the sect. However, if Yun Qing Mountain's leader says so, it's very likely that they will really hunt him down.

  Ximen said: "We will first go to Xiaodongzhou, then to Zhongzhou, then turn southwest to Yunzhou, bypassing the ten million great mountains of Miaojiang, and finally arrive at Xizhou."

  "Shi Wan Da Shan?" Lin Fan was puzzled. This Shi Wan Da Shan is a triangular region of Yun Zhou, Zhong Zhou and Nan Zhou, with an enormous area. Inside, there are mysterious and evil Poison Dragon Cults that are neither good nor evil. There are also many other monsters within Shi Wan Da Shan, making it one of the forbidden places set by Yun Qing Men. Disciples are not allowed to enter without permission from the master. Not only Yun Qing Men, but Mo Jiao also has this rule. Lin Fan said: "Why go all the way to Shi Wan Da Shan?"

  "Visiting an old friend." Ximen said: "I originally planned to find the first master among your sect's young disciples, why have you been in seclusion all this time?"

  Lin Fan knew that Ximen Shuai was referring to Gu Yan and asked back: "The number one expert?"

  "You're just a frog in the well, all the famous sects and demonic cults are discussing holding a martial arts tournament for young masters. The Xunlong Palace of the Upper Nine Palaces of the Demonic Cult is the ears and eyes of the Demonic Cult, they have a unique flying sword technique that is extremely fast and excel at gathering intelligence. Last month, they submitted a record to the Demon Lord, which listed all the young masters from various famous sects, demonic cults, Buddhist schools, and evil sects. That person named Guyan is actually the number one young master of your Yunqing Sect."

  Lin Fan came over with interest and asked: "What about me?"

  "Who are you?" Xi Men sneered at Lin Fan and said, "In the end, eight great masters were produced, Gu Yan ranked seventh, and it can be said that Yun Qingmen has some face."

  "Will Che, Lun get a ranking in the Devil's Ranking?" Lin Fan said indifferently: "Besides, can young masters and old generation masters be compared?"

  Ximen Shuai looked at Lin Fan and said, "I agree with your first point. The Demon Sect is indeed usurping power and doesn't have the qualifications to be ranked. However, as for your second point... a strong person is a strong person, regardless of age. Take Gu Yan from your sect, for example. Although he may not be able to rival those old immortals from the Hidden Immortal Sect or the leaders of other sects, there are many people in the Cloud Clear Sect who are older than him but can only be considered as one in ten or twelve who can be his match. Gu Yan is like a newly risen sun, while they are setting suns. Within ten years, Gu Yan will definitely have the qualifications to establish his own sect."
