Chapter 453: Unresolvable Conflict
The area 200 miles around Martial Path Mountain was covered by bandit dens.
The bandit den here was famous.
Wild Wolf Gang.
The people in the gang were like wild wolves; they were united and ferocious.
The area within 100 miles was their Wild Wolf Gang territory and if one wanted to pa.s.s, one had to pay.
Within the Wild Wolf Gang hall.
The gang leader Li Erlang sat there and looked at his men. He said with a hoa.r.s.e voice.
“The current world situation is perfect for us. Imperial Dynasty can’t worry about us and the other sects don’t care about us anymore. The important thing is that this is our era.”
“We can kill, rob, and pillage and no one cares about us. Isn’t it great that we can do whatever we want?”
Li Erlang looked at them. He was a person with ambitions and dreams.
Unfortunately, he felt that his men were just stupid. None of them were talented, otherwise, life would have been much easier for him.
Suddenly, a voice spread in from outside.
“Come out.”
Clang!
Li Erlang was furious. He held his axe in rage. Who was so bold to act so arrogantly over at their Wild Wolf Gang?
“Men, follow me out to kill the enemy.”
Instantly, the hall was in a ruckus as everyone picked up their weapons and charged out.
“Young Master, this Wild Wolf Gang is the faction closest to us but they are only a bunch of bandits.” Gou’zi stood beside Young Master and said.
Lin Fan was really leisurely. He laid on a chair which others were carrying. On the handle was a fruit tray. It looked like he wasn’t out to claim territories but to take a stroll.
“Gou’zi, calm down. There is no need to rush.” Lin Fan bit on an apple and said calmly. Naturally, he didn’t hold this so-called Wild Wolf Gang in any regard.
“Who dares to behave so arrogantly here?”
Li Erlang held his axe and his expression became vicious. When he saw Lin Fan, he said with a deep and dark tone, “You are the ones?”
“Scare them off and make them scram.” Lin Fan instructed.
Gou’zi stepped forwards and a terrifying power spread from his legs over to the surface. With a crack, the ground tore apart. The dense cracks were like dragons surging forward, breaking the ground into many pieces.
Li Erlang had wanted to use his axe to chop up the enemy into pieces of meat.
But what happened terrified him.
Gou’zi said, “This place belongs to Martial Path Mountain. If you don’t want to die, then scram.”
A Domain Realm expert’s voice was like thunder, deafening to the ears. He nearly caused their eardrums to shatter.
Kuang dang!
Li Erlang’s axe fell to the ground.
His eyes were opened wide and his mouth was agape. It was as if he had seen a ghost.
Putong!
Li Erlang knelt on the ground and said gratefully, “Thank you for letting me live.”
He didn’t even bother to pick up his weapon and he just fled as far as he could.
A coward fleeing away from battle was just so decisive.
When the members of Wild Wolf Gang saw that even their boss was gone, after a momentary period of awe, they followed after him. They ran in panic and didn’t even care about their items.
To Li Erlang, it was as if he had seen a ghost.
He was just the head of a bandit gang and his cultivation was terrifyingly low. He didn’t offend people, so why did so many people come today?
They didn’t even say a word and attacked right away. That was just so terrifying.
Lin Fan waved his hands, “Let’s see what good things there are. If there are any, then let’s carry them away before we head to the next location.”
Gou’zi followed by his side. He wanted to be Young Master’s loyal dog, to clear out all the obstacles for him. No matter who it was, he would defeat all of them.
What happened next became much simpler.
Lin Fan led 98 disciples or rather his fighters, alongside Gou’zi and him to clear out everyone near Martial Path Mountain.
He didn’t say anything. He would first scare them off and if that didn’t work, he would beat them up.
No one could hold on.
Lin Fan was going to start his legacy. The first step was to occupy land. He would first start by clearing out 1,000 miles around.
Of course, he also needed to spread the name of Martial Path Mountain.
Young Master Huang trusted him so much and wanted to invest in Martial Path Mountain as he wanted to see returns.
How could he disappoint him?
Although he didn’t know whether or not Young Master Huang was dead or alive, even if he was dead, he would make Martial Path Mountain famous. Those people who died would promote it for him too. Why were they dead? Those from Martial Path Mountain did it.
Those people from Long Rainbow Sect were extremely excited as they all wors.h.i.+pped Lin Fan.
Especially Xu Zhao who wors.h.i.+pped him to the maximum.
He was the leader of the 98 of them and had a lot of respect. However, when he looked at Gou’zi, he was filled with envy.
He wished that he could serve beside the Sect Leader like what Gou’zi was doing.
But he knew that he wasn’t strong enough.
He could only work hard and hopefully one day he could become like Gou’zi.
Martial Path Mountain’s land selection was decent and it was quite secluded.
It didn’t belong to the four alliances so there weren’t many sects. There were some so these were the ones that Lin Fan targetted.
Naturally, Lin Fan wouldn’t show mercy to these sects and he had to chase them away.
As long as they didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the border defence, he would beat them all up.
Where Evil Alliance and Celestial Alliance connected.
Evil Spirit Old Ancestor couldn’t avoid everything as he was the main culprit. Although he announced the reason, too few people believed him at all.
“Sect Leader Qin, I have told you many times that this was a misunderstanding and it is all because of Lin Wanyi’s son, so why do you not believe me?” Evil Spirit Old Ancestor said. He really wanted to slice Qin Teng’s head to see what was inside.
Was he just so stupid?
Qin Teng was the Hundred Dao Sect Sect Leader and the fact that he was personally fighting showed how angry he was.
“Stop talking. Is the reason important? It is not. I just want to ask, were you the ones who attacked?” Qin Teng asked.
Evil Spirit Old Ancestor asked, “We did but there is a reason for that. The kid conned us and he wanted to see Evil Alliance and Celestial Alliance fight. Don’t be used by him.”
Sect Leader Qin laughed and his laugh was quite maniacal, “Enough, that is enough. You were the ones who attacked. Hundred Dao Sect’s years of acc.u.mulation has turned to dust because of all you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. I want all of you to die.”
At that moment, the sky shook.
Sect Leader Qin looked really terrifying. His gaze was like he wanted to swallow up someone.
Old Ancestor Moyi hollered, “What is there to say to them? Do they really think our Evil Alliance is easy to bully? All of us are old demons who have reached Dao Realm many years ago and we are all people who do what we want. It is just the Hundred Dao Sect, we have given them enough face.”
“Kill.”
That shout was really useful as the whole bunch of old demons went insane.
Those words made sense.
They were all top old demons, so how could one Celestial Alliance just ride on their heads. They were just asking to die.
In the distance, Xu Yuanming was floating in the air. The person he faced was the Evil Alliance Xiedao Sect Sect Leader Old Demon Wuwei.
“Brother Wuwei, you should know about this matter. It is as Evil Spirit said; someone used you all. I believe that your Evil Alliance does not want to have conflicts with our Celestial Alliance too. After all, it doesn’t help either of us.” Xu Yuanming didn’t want a war and they were forced into one.
This was why he wanted to have a chat with Old Demon Wuwei to see whether or not they could avoid a battle.
Old Demon Wuwei said, “That is true. I understand that but since things have already happened and they are the ones who destroyed Hundred Dao Sect, Qin Teng definitely wouldn’t take this laying down.”
“But for our Evil Alliance to hand over many old ancestors, that is just impossible. So, we have to fight this war.”
Xu Yuanming shook his head and said helplessly, “Evil Alliance and Celestial Alliance doesn’t have any conflicts and even if there were any it was just a small quarrel. Now that Alliance knows that this has happened, they will definitely do something. If we can, stopping is the best decision.”
Old Demon Wuwei said, “That is indeed the case but I heard that your Celestial Alliance has pulled Buddha Alliance over. This doesn’t look like you want to stop.”
Xu Yuanming said, “How is that possible? We really want to stop but based on what I know, your Evil Alliance roped Monster Alliance too.”
The two of them looked at one another.
They didn’t expect that each other knew.
“Brother Wuwei, truthfully all this is just in case. You also know that if we fight the outcome would be catastrophic. It wouldn’t be good for either of us.”
Xu Yuanming’s thoughts were really simple. He wanted to maintain Celestial Alliance’s strength as now wasn’t the time to fight yet.
Suddenly, a person shot through the air in panic like he had faced something.
“Old Ancestor, this is not good, Xiedao Sect has faced the attacks of some Dao Realm experts and has suffered heavy losses. Blood Demon Faction Leader is blocking them off and is badly injured.”
“What?”
Old Demon Wuwei was furious as he stared at Xu Yuanming, “I didn’t expect you to be so despicable.”
Xu Yuanming was stunned and totally shocked.
He didn’t know what happened.
“Brother Wuwei, I swear that we didn’t do this.” Xu Yuanming said, “Someone wants to frame us and the goal is to drive our conflict even deeper.”
“Buddha Alliance and Celestial Alliance did it, I recognised one of them.” The old demon who came to report said.
Old Demon Wuwei’s eyes shot flames, “Good, very good. You wait, we won’t let this matter rest.”
The moment he said this, Old Demon Wuwei headed towards Xiedao Sect.
There were many experts at Xiedao Sect but he brought many out. Luckily, the Blood Demon Faction Leader stayed, otherwise, it would have been a disaster.
“This…”
Xu Yuanming frowned. Who wanted to frame them?
