Chapter 500 - 282: The Saint Master Attacks, I Have a Holy Soldier Too
"Good brother!"
Ning Xuan excitedly stepped forward and embraced Wei Fan tightly. It was their first meeting since Wei Fan had left Su City.
Wei Fan pushed Ning Xuan away and looked at Li Fengyi and Su Xuerong. "A hug?"
Both turned their heads aside, blushing.
Soon, all their friends in Su City had arrived. The group found a place to sit together on the ground, sharing stories of what happened after Wei Fan left.
Zhang Xianlong had already become a Divine Realm Martial Sect Demon Hunter, Long Xueyi’s cultivation had reached the Late Divine Realm, and Su Xuerong and Ning Xuan were now both experts at the Acupoint Opening Seventh Layer.
Situ Ying and Li Chuyang had also reached the Celestial Human Seventh Layer in their cultivation, and the circle of friends had all undergone earth-shattering changes.
All of this was because of Wei Fan. He left behind a Martial King Array and a huge stack of unused resources for nurturing talent in the Dragon Kingdom. Although he hadn’t made any special arrangements, Long Jianying also took care of his friends.
After chatting for a while, the group dispersed. They hadn’t come here to play but to transform the Purple-eyed Demon King’s old lair into a great city of the Human Race, establish defenses, clear official roads, and gather resources.
Wei Fan also had work to do. Such a giant city required the arrangement of a grand array, which he only now realized was the responsibility of a Martial King in the Demon Hunter Organization.
The Purple-eyed Demon King’s old lair was already laid out with an array. After removing and reforging the original array banner, Wei Fan set it back up again. By the next day, the area was shrouded in mighty power, and even the Spirit Concentration Demon Monarchs didn’t dare to approach within a few miles.
"Is this the array you set up? Your array skills have reached such a level?"
Gao Wanfu was shocked when he returned. Originally, he thought that Wei Fan had just become a Martial King and that even if he was extraordinary, his array skills wouldn’t be much accomplished, and he would have to set up the grand array himself.
Unexpectedly, Wei Fan had already set up the array, and his skills surpassed his own.
Wei Fan laughed and said, "You’re flattering me, senior. How could my humble array skills compare to yours? Please, senior, check if there’s anything that needs correcting."
Gao Wanfu shook his head, "You rascal, your grand array is far more brilliant than mine. How can I instruct you?"
He had been a king for eight hundred years, spending a third of his time studying arrays, but in terms of array skills, Wei Fan had already surpassed him.
If it were him arranging the array, the most he could do would be to trap a Nascent Soul Demon Fiend, whereas with Wei Fan’s grand array, a Spirit Concentration Demon Monarch would be suppressed to death within five or six miles.
Relying on this array alone could resist thousands of troops. Without a Demon Venerable, no one could even get close.
"Senior, I think things here are about settled. Do you know where the mountain gate of the Profound Crane Sect is?" Wei Fan suddenly asked.
Although he had slain the Purple-eyed Demon King and seized his territory, the matter wasn’t over yet; there was still the Heaven-Supporting Demon King to deal with.
Even if nothing could be done to the Profound Crane Sect, he planned to take a look and let these demons know the consequences of provoking him.
Gao Wanfu frowned, "Are you planning to attack the Profound Crane Sect? You’d better not go. They have a Demon Saint Array and Holy Soldiers, and going there would only add danger without achieving anything!"
"I just want to see what this legendary Holy Sect looks like," Wei Fan said.
He didn’t mention the Human Emperor Bell or the Form Follows Heart ability because he wasn’t sure if this ability could penetrate a Saint-level array.
Gao Wanfu breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to speak when his brow suddenly furrowed, and a communication token with a jade-like texture appeared in his hand.
The same token appeared in Wei Fan’s hand as well, just like the one Gao Wanfu held.
This was a token exclusive to the Martial King powerhouses in the Demon Hunter Organization, with communication abilities far surpassing the Inspector tokens. The two exchanged glances, both looking grim.
Without major events, such tokens were not used to notify these Martial Kings.
They each poured their Heart Spirit into the token, and a message appeared in their minds: "Wei Fan, beware, the Saint Master of the Guangling Sect is descending with Holy Soldiers, possibly to trouble you!"
This was a warning for Wei Fan. The Saint Master of the Guangling Sect descending with Holy Soldiers almost certainly meant they intended to kill Wei Fan. After all, if it weren’t about killing, there would be no need to bring Holy Soldiers down the mountain.
Gao Wanfu’s eyes revealed a cold glint, "This Human Race traitor! If it weren’t for the Holy Soldiers, the Demon Hunter Organization would have finished him off long ago!"
Holy Soldiers!
The reason the Holy Sect stands high and overlooks the ever-changing world is not due to the Martial Saint’s legacy or the Martial Saint Array, but because of the Holy Soldiers.
If the Holy Sect intends to kill someone, unless you have Holy Soldiers to resist them, it’s basically a dead end.
Since the Battle of the Fallen Saint, the Profound Crane Sect and the Guangling Sect have been on high, with unshakeable status also because of the Holy Soldiers.
"You should leave here first and find Wei Zhenwu. He also possesses a Holy Soldier and can counter the Saint Master of the Guangling Sect!"
Though angry, Gao Wanfu knew that unless they found a solution, Wei Fan would only be killed by the Saint Master of the Guangling Sect with the Holy Soldiers.
The power of Holy Soldiers couldn’t be resisted, let alone by Wei Fan, who was only at the Martial King First Layer, even a Martial King Ninth Layer couldn’t withstand it.
Wei Fan shook his head, full of killing intent, "No need, I was just thinking of testing the power of Holy Soldiers!"
Initially, he planned to first visit the Profound Crane Sect and test the power of the Human Emperor Bell on them. Since the Saint Master of the Guangling Sect jumped out first, he’ll tackle the Saint Master first and see whether their Holy Soldiers are stronger or his Human Emperor Bell.
Gao Wanfu was surprised, "Avoiding sharp edges is not something shameful. The power of divine weapons cannot be withstood even by a Martial King Ninth Layer powerhouse!"
He thought Wei Fan was young and impulsive, concerned about appearances, and unwilling to flee or seek shelter.
Wei Fan shook his head, ready to explain, when the communication token in his hand vibrated once more, delivering another message: "I am Wei Zhenwu. Everyone be cautious; the Saint Master of Profound Crane Sect is deploying Holy Soldiers in a standoff with me. They seem to be colluding with Guangling Sect. Wei Fan, do not come to me, conceal your aura and find a place to hide, I will resolve the situation with the Saint Master of Profound Crane Sect quickly."
Gao Wanfu gasped, determined to kill Wei Fan, as the Saint Master of Profound Crane Sect deployed Holy Soldiers to confront Wei Zhenwu, clearly aiming to prevent Wei Zhenwu from using Holy Soldiers to rescue Wei Fan.
Both Holy Sects deploying Divine Soldiers simultaneously, apart from Wei Zhenwu who also possessed Holy Soldiers, the Wilderness was virtually unlivable.
"Quick! Run!"
He didn’t have time to think much; the only solution now was for Wei Fan to hide. If the Saint Master of Guangling Sect couldn’t find him, naturally, they couldn’t kill him.
"This is indeed not the place for battle!"
Wei Fan glanced at the city under reconstruction and soared into the sky with Gao Wanfu, flying towards the distance.
After some flight, Wei Fan shook off Gao Wanfu’s hand: "Senior, please retreat further!"
As he spoke, his aura surged, and the winds and clouds transformed dramatically.
Gao Wanfu’s expression changed starkly; Wei Fan was aiming to draw the Saint Master of Guangling Sect to him.
"Wei Fan, don’t be impulsive. As long as the green mountain remains, there’s no fear of lacking firewood. You possess extraordinary talent and plenty of opportunities to vent this frustration. Don’t make unnecessary sacrifices," he shouted.
"Senior, I also have Holy Soldiers. It’s uncertain who will kill whom today. You better retreat a bit further to avoid being caught in the aftermath!"
At this point, he no longer concealed anything.
Though the Human Emperor Bell wasn’t considered a weapon, others might not discern its nature as a Holy Soldier.
Since the intention was to kill, let it be thorough; he didn’t expect the Human Emperor Bell to slay the Saint Master of Guangling Sect but hoped it could block their Holy Soldiers. The fate of the battle remained uncertain.
He didn’t need to actively utilize the Human Emperor Bell; just a thought could control it.
Whereas the Saint Master of Guangling Sect was merely at Martial King Third Layer, how many attacks could they launch with Holy Soldiers? One or two would likely already be laborious; failing to kill him would lead to exhaustion and potential counterattack.
If Holy Soldiers could be easily wielded, Profound Crane Sect and Guangling Sect would have dominated the Wilderness long ago.
Gao Wanfu was stunned before his eyes gleamed with disbelief: "You actually have Holy Soldiers too?"
Only Holy Soldiers can rival Holy Soldiers!
The next moment, he realized the situation. Wei Fan could not be lying, which meant Wei Fan indeed possessed Holy Soldiers.
"Excellent, had you mentioned your Holy Soldiers earlier, this old man wouldn’t have worried so much. Soon, we’ll slay Murong Hua, that old scoundrel, and eliminate the greatest scourge of the Desert Human Race."
Murong Hua, known as the Saint Master of Guangling Sect, had been in the position so long that few in Jianghu knew his actual name.
Only someone like Gao Wanfu, who had lived for over a thousand years, knew the real name of the Saint Master of Guangling Sect.
"Ensure he won’t survive!"
Wei Fan watched as Gao Wanfu retreated, his mind interacting with the Human Emperor Bell, ready to unleash a formidable strike at any moment.
His Martial King’s aura kept surging, radiating across several dozen miles, drawing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi from all around.
In fact, Murong Hua coming out with Holy Soldiers to kill him matched his intentions; if Murong Hua remained hiding within Guangling Sect, leveraging Holy Soldiers to reinforce the Martial Saint Array of Guangling Sect, flattening Guangling Sect might become somewhat challenging.
If he could eliminate Murong Hua today and seize Holy Soldiers, flattening Guangling Sect would be a breeze.
After a while, it seemed as if rivers were roaring atop the distant horizon, and a figure exuding overwhelming aura rapidly approached.
"How daring, knowing I came with Holy Soldiers and not only did you not hide but you stirred your energy to alert me of your location. Do you truly think my descent today is a jest with you?"
Murong Hua’s face was cold; initially, he thought the leaked news prevented him from killing Wei Fan. Unexpectedly, Wei Fan not only didn’t hide but even selected a battle site, shaking his energy to reveal his position.
He couldn’t fathom where Wei Fan, merely at Martial King First Layer, found the nerve to face him with Holy Soldiers; he had confirmed with the Saint Master of Profound Crane Sect that Wei Zhenwu’s Holy Soldiers remained with Wei Zhenwu.
"It’s simple, because I also wish to slay you and then flatten Guangling Sect!"
Wei Fan gazed at Murong Hua, the Saint Master of Guangling Sect, meeting for the first time.
Murong Hua, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, bore a scholarly demeanor. Difficult to imagine he was one of the utmost elites of the Wilderness, the Saint Master of Saint Sect of Guangling.
[Murong Hua: Martial King Third Layer, Saint Master of Guangling Sect, colluding with Demon Demon Saint Sect of Profound Crane]
[Kill him, gain 100,000 years of ordinary power, 300 years of Martial King’s power]
Indeed, colluding with demons!
Wei Fan’s eyes flashed with increasing coldness, realizing three hundred years of Martial King’s power could perfectly complete his Perfection in Martial King First Layer.
