Chapter 752: Soul Tower of Trial (28)
There was only silence that hung in the air as everyone turned to look in the Love Sect's direction.
Everyone had been carefully watching this round and everyone had been stunned by the performance that Huang Xie had given.
That included Lin Fan, though he was stunned for a different reason.
"As expected of the Heaven's Chosen…He really doesn't hold back at all."
Seeing all of the things that Huang Xie, Lin Fan even thought that he might have become stronger than him. If Huang Xie wanted, he might even be able to take the title of sect master from him…
But Huang Xie had only been cultivating for a few months and he was already this powerful.
Lin Fan really felt bitter at the difference in cultivation speed between him and Huang Xie.
However, there wasn't a single second where he was envious.
Rather, there was an excited feeling that filled him at the thought of this since it was clear that the Heaven's Chosen was bound to become stronger after this.
The stronger that Huang Xie got, the better it was for him since in the future, the Love Sect would depend on Huang Xie.
Of course, that was a bad sign for every other sect since that meant that there was this terrifying monster that they would have to deal with in the future. If they allowed the Love Sect to keep nurturing Huang Xie, it would be terrible for them.
So the only thing that they could think of was…
Using force to get their way.
It didn't work before where they wanted to use force to get the soul fragments back, but this time…they were more confident.
There were over fifty sects that Huang Xie had attacked this time.
There were only ten sects before, but now that increased by five times. That meant that there were five times as many experts to pressure the Love Sect with.
But at the same time, their goal was completely different this time.
Their goal wasn't to destroy Huang Xie, but rather to force the Love Sect to give up Huang Xie.
They knew that whichever sect would be able to keep Huang Xie would have a bright future, so they were all looking to take Huang Xie. There wasn't a single one of them that believed that Huang Xie should remain in a sect like the Love Sect.
So they were all thinking about which one of their sects would take him for themselves.
Though there was still the problem of having to take Huang Xie from the Love Sect.
There was one thing that they were worried about.
The Martial Might Sect had done nothing this entire time even though the Love Sect Sect Master had gone so far. It was clear that they supported the Love Sect to a certain extent.
If the Martial Might Sect was to get involved, then that would be the end of that since they wouldn't be able to go against the Martial Might Sect.
But this time, they had something that they felt that they could rely on.
With the dazzling display that Huang Xie had put on, they were certain that even the Martial Might Sect would be interested in taking Huang Xie away from the Love Sect. So they thought that the Martial Might Sect would at least work with them to threaten the Love Sect to make them offer up Huang Xie.
As for what came after that…
Well, it would depend on what benefits they could offer Huang Xie to make him want to join them.
In short, it was all about how they would bribe him to their sects.
But before that…
Everyone was looking at Lin Fan and he wasn't a fool.
He knew that once his disciple showed this dazzling performance, it would be enough to make people jealous. Or at the very least, it would make people want to take him away, like they were looking at him now.
But he acted like he didn't see anything since he wanted them to make the first move.
This time, the sects didn't act separately.
They knew that by acting separately, they would just be hurting themselves.
The only way that they would be able to pressure the Love Sect was if they worked together.
So all the elders of the fifty or so sects came up to surround Lin Fan and the Love Sect group at the same time.
The Love Sect elders seemed a bit tense seeing this, but they calmed down when they saw the calm look that was on the sect master's face. They knew that as long as Lin Fan was calm, that must mean that he must have some kind of plan.
But in reality…
Lin Fan was a bit worried since he was afraid of what the two old men from the Five Great Sects would do.
There was no doubt that they would also be interested in Huang Xie, he knew this because of the message that Xiao Ming had sent him. They had already shown interest in him when they had ambushed the Love Sect disciples.
So it was very likely that they might even want to take him for their Five Great Sects.
It was only the interference of those two old men that Lin Fan was worried about.
He found that other than those Five Great Sects, there was no one that could actually pose a threat to their Love Sect group.
Especially when they were backed by the Blood Palm Sect.
But what Lin Fan didn't know was…the two old men from the Five Great Sects were bigger cowards than he thought. The thing that they cared about the most was their own lives, rather than the benefit of their sects or the benefit of others.
So the only thing that they did this time was…just tell the Martial Might Sect not to get involved if anything happened.
They were sitting on the fence and watching both sides.
They were waiting to see which side was better to see which side they should join.
But that gap was all that Lin Fan and the Love Sect needed to take care of the various sects that came to threaten them.
"Sect Master Lin, don't you think that you should give us some kind of compen…"
Before this sect master could finish speaking, he received a punch to the face and was sent flying.
This time, the sect masters and elders were already prepared for this since they had already been planning on using force to take down the Love Sect group.
It was just that they didn't expect…
It wasn't just Lin Fan who was a monster.
It was the rest of the Love Sect's elders that were also monsters.
Though the Love Sect's elders found it hard to compete with Lin Fan because of how powerful he was, that didn't mean that they were weaker than normal elders from other sects.
As for the reason why they were so strong…it was naturally because they had been receiving all kinds of benefits from Lin Fan.
Even if Lin Fan wasn't as powerful as a Heaven's Chosen when it came to luck from the heavens, he still had a cheat that no one else had. He had a system…no, he had two different systems that could generate items for him.
As long as he had these systems, there was no shortage of materials for the Love Sect members.
However, it wasn't just normal materials that he was giving them.
These were things from his system, so there wasn't anything normal about these things.
These were powerful items that no one else from the other sects would be able to have.
So there was no doubt that they would become powerful if they had these things.
All of the elders of the Love Sect were able to cross realms to fight just like the disciples. Many of them were able to easily overpower the elders that came at them to the surprise of these elders.
It seemed like they never even thought that they would be so powerful.
Once they realized how powerful they were, they started smacking around the elders from the other sects without any hesitation. Since their sect master was doing it, they knew that there was nothing for them to fear.
Just like this, all of the sect masters and elders that surrounded the Love Sect were taken out.
The ones from the Martial Might Sect had moved a bit closer as if they had wanted to get involved, but they quickly left when they saw how easily the people from the other sects were taken care of.
In this situation, it was better to act like they knew nothing and let the Love Sect do what they wanted.
Though they were also shocked by the power that the Love Sect demonstrated.
If they were in the same place as those sect masters and elders, there was no doubt that they would have suffered the same fate as them.
Once the riff raff had been taken care of, Lin Fan and the Love Sect group went back to watching the screen.
Everyone looked at them with strange looks, but there was no one that did anything to them.
It seemed that the message had been made clear to them and no one dared to do anything.
This was a perfect way for the Love Sect to establish their fame, but fame wasn't always a good thing.
In the future, there was no doubt that there would be many challenges to the Love Sect.
However, with the Heaven's Chosen, that wasn't a bad thing.
