Chapter 769 Liao Family’s Wedding (10)
So before Ling Tian could make a move, there were nine Nascent Soul Realm Experts that appeared in front of Ling Tian.
Ling Tian had been about to make a move, but when he saw these nine people appear, he couldn't help knitting his brows and stopping his hand.
If it were anyone else, perhaps he might have blown them away along with Lin Fan, but the factions that these nine represented made him hesitate.
After all, it would mean starting a war between the True Spirit Sect and the nine factions that they represented if he made a move now. That would be something that would go against the plan that Bing Jun had formulated, so he couldn't do that no matter what happened.
So Ling Tian lowered his hand and said in a firm voice, "These guests, can you please move out of the way? This is a matter of our True Spirit Sect, so this is something that our True Spirit Sect should deal with. It is not a place for you to interfere in."
Even if he had lowered his stance when facing Bing Jun earlier, when facing these people, he still had a commanding tone. No matter what, they were only Nascent Soul Realm Experts and he was the sect master, the True Soul Realm Expert of the True Spirit Sect.
He at least had this bit of pride when facing them.
But even after he said this, not a single one of the Nascent Soul Realm Experts moved.
Seeing this, Ling Tian knitted his brows even more and asked in a deep and threatening voice, "Are you all determined to interfere with the business of our True Spirit Sect?"
This time, the Nascent Soul Realm Expert from the Hunters Organization came out and said, "Unfortunately, the one that you have business with is a member of our Hunters Organization."
Then the Nascent Soul Realm Expert from the Tamers Guild came forward to say, "He is also a Monster Trainer registered with our Tamers Guild."
Finally, the Nascent Soul Realm Expert from the Alchemy King Hall said, "He is also an alchemist registered with our Alchemy King Hall."
Ling Tian's expression became very ugly when he heard this.
This was his first time hearing about something like this happening. It was very unlikely for someone to have all three of these identities since it would mean being able to excel in all three of these fields. This kind of talent was just unheard of.
But the most shocking thing was that the three factions were willing to admit this at a time like this.
They weren't fools, they would know that standing out at this time would mean getting involved in this matter and would mean choosing Lin Fan over the True Spirit Sect.
Ling Tian couldn't understand what kind of value Lin Fan had that these three factions would choose to offend the True Spirit Sect to support him…
But since they were going to support him, it wasn't as if he could back down now. After all, he had Bing Jun's orders to worry about. If he were to go against Bing Jun's orders…
Seeing that he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, Ling Tian turned to the other six Nascent Soul Realm Experts.
It was unlikely for Lin Fan to be related to these six factions since they were different from the neutral factions like the Hunters Organization, the Tamers Guild, and the Alchemy King Hall.
For the Four Great Families, they were completely made up of their relatives and close friends of relatives, so he doubted that Lin Fan would have any connection to them. After all, it was just too unlikely that Lin Fan would be related to any of these families.
As for the Myriad Sword Hall and the Ice Goddess Palace, the techniques that Lin Fan had used just now were completely different from the core techniques of these two sects. So it was almost impossible for Lin Fan to be one of the disciples of these two sects.
Since that was the case, Ling Tian would try to separate these six factions from this situation since fighting nine different factions at once would be crazy for his True Spirit Sect…Or at least it would be for now. If it were to happen right now, it would disrupt Bing Jun and Huo Fei's plan, which was a responsibility that he couldn't afford to bear.
So Ling Tian said, "I trust that he's not related to your six factions, right? So can you please let us handle this matter ourselves?"
But to his shock, the six Nascent Soul Realm Experts didn't move. They just faced his gaze head on and said, "We have our own connections to this young man and will be supporting him today."
Ling Tian couldn't understand what was happening.
Nine of the twelve great factions were all supporting a single person to go against his True Spirit Sect?
Was this really happening?
His True Spirit Sect couldn't compare to the value of a single person to these nine factions?
When did the world become so upside down?
But this wasn't the time to think about all of that.
In this situation, time was of the essence and as long as he acted fast enough, he would be able to avoid dealing with troublesome things…So it seemed like he would have no other choice than to…
Since he couldn't go against Bing Jun's orders and since these nine were making it clear that they wouldn't back down, he wouldn't have any other choice than to…
So with this thought in mind, Ling Tian started raising his hand and gathering his life energy.
It was impossible for the nine Nascent Soul Realm Experts to miss this and they revealed a heavy look on their faces. They had thought that if all of them stood on Lin Fan's side, then the True Spirit Sect would back down, but they never expected Ling Tian to go this far.
There weren't any True Soul Realm Experts that came with them today, so if Ling Tian really went all out, it would be hard for them. While it wasn't impossible for them to block Ling Tian and escape with Lin Fan, it would mean that they would be heavily injured from the fight. It was even likely that half of them would die from this fight…
But still, these were their orders and they didn't have any other choices.
So the Nascent Soul Realm Experts slowly gathered their life energy and prepared their weapons.
Ling Tian also saw this, but he looked at them with disdain since he knew that it was impossible for them to truly fight them. The only thing that he really had to worry about was stopping them from escaping since Bing Jun's orders were to capture Lin Fan and Lin Xue.
However, before the two sides could clash, Lin Fan came forward and said, "Everyone, there's no need for you to go this far."
Everyone was shocked to hear this and they were confused as to what Lin Fan was doing.
Ling Tian took advantage of this to ask, "Are you going to peacefully come with me? It would save everyone plenty of trouble if you were to do that."
It would be troublesome for him to fight against these nine Nascent Soul Realm Experts after all, not because he would be in danger, but rather because of the damage to the True Spirit Sect's reputation and the future repercussions of this matter. If possible, he wanted Lin Fan to surrender so they could end this peacefully.
Since Lin Fan was taking the initiative to step out and mediate this matter, there was no reason for him not to play along.
But to his surprise, Lin Fan completely ignored him.
Lin Fan looked at the nine Nascent Soul Realm Experts and said, "I've already decided that I would handle this matter alone today, so there's no need for your nine factions to do this. Please leave this matter to me."
The nine Nascent Soul Realm Experts all had difficult expressions on their faces after hearing this.
The orders that they received were to not let Lin Fan suffer any injuries, but now Lin Fan was planning on fighting a True Soul Realm Expert alone?
But still, they had to worry about their own reputations and other things since there were plenty of people who were watching this. If they insisted too strongly, there would be many rumours created from this.
So the Nascent Soul Realm Experts looked at the one from the Hunters Organization for him to represent them in convincing Lin Fan. The Hunters Organization was the faction that was the closest to Lin Fan and had known him the longest, so they had the best chance of convincing him to not do this.
The Nascent Soul Realm Expert from the Hunters Organization hesitated a bit before saying, "Young master Lin, this is a True Soul Realm Expert. Perhaps it's best if you didn't do this… You don't know just how terrifying a True Soul Realm Expert really is."
Lin Fan revealed a faint smile and said, "There's no need for you to worry, I have my own methods. Not to mention that my master has given me a few trump cards."
The Nascent Soul Realm Experts clearly had their doubts, but when Lin Fan mentioned his "master", they couldn't help hesitating.
After all, this was an expert that even the True Soul Realm Experts of their factions couldn't see through!
